Chapter 4

is it?

Bai Jiuxiao felt that he was going too far.

Her emperor's younger brother also said that he wanted her to know more about him, but after he followed her for two years, she didn't even know his name, and she didn't even notice the obvious red mole on his face.

Clearing her throat, she glanced away: "What do you like?"

Lu Chengxi didn't understand.

"Do you like the house? This king will give you a house." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Lu Chengxi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, my lord, it's just that my lord has already given away two sets of houses to the general, and I can't live in so many in the end."

is it?

Bai Jiuxiao squeezed between his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

"Tomorrow, the king will ask the emperor to arrange a full-time job for you in the court, and you will not follow this king in the future."

Lu Chengxi was shocked.

"But where did the general not do well?"

When the class teacher returned to the court yesterday, she went to do something and didn't let him follow her. She didn't let him go with her when she went to court today. This has never happened before.

"No." Bai Jiuxiao frowned slightly, she was not a person who explained patiently.

She just felt that a man who loved her as much as her life had appeared, and she was pleasing to her eyes, so there was no need for him to follow her, and following her was fruitless.

Thinking of the man with picturesque features, she thought of the play again, took it out from her sleeve pocket, and opened her downcast eyes.

Lu Chengxi was in a hurry, and immediately pulled up his robe and knelt down: "For the general, doing things by the prince's side is a full-time job. If the prince thinks that the general is not doing well, please inform the general. The general will definitely change it. Please, the prince. Don't rush to leave."

Bai Jiuxiao remained silent.

At this moment, Tong Quan stepped in quickly and bowed respectfully: "My lord, there is a woman at the door who claims to be the nurse of the Sang Linguo's proton, and says that she has important information to tell the lord face to face."

While reporting, Tongquan presented a jade pendant with both hands: "This is her token."

Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyes, reached out to take the jade pendant, and looked down at it.

It is indeed a jade pendant that only the prince of Sang Linguo has.

"Let her in."

Tongquan took the order and left.

Bai Jiuxiao continued to read the drama.

She didn't speak, and Lu Chengxi knelt there and didn't dare to get up rashly.

Because the palace is extremely heavily guarded, outsiders need not only Bai Jiuxiao's consent, but also a careful search and interrogation to enter the palace. Therefore, it took a while for Tongquan to lead the woman in.

The woman in her thirties timidly followed behind Tong Quan, and knelt down in front of Bai Jiuxiao's desk to salute.

Bai Jiuxiao leaned back in the chair and glanced at her lightly: "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

The woman raised her head and opened her lips.

Just when everyone thought she was going to speak, a hidden weapon thicker than a silver needle and smaller than a dart was suddenly spit out from her mouth, flying straight towards Bai Jiuxiao at a lightning speed.

The accident happened too suddenly, in the blink of an eye, and the distance between the woman and Bai Jiuxiao was too close.

Seeing that the hidden weapon was about to stab Bai Jiuxiao's heart, Tongquan and Lu Chengxi were terrified, and it was too late to stop it.

Between lightning and flint, Bai Jiuxiao raised his hand and caught the hidden weapon, and then narrowed his cold eyes and raised his arms, the hidden weapon flew out in the opposite direction at an astonishing speed.

With a muffled groan, the woman fell to the ground, and the hidden weapon sank deep between her eyebrows.

"Is your lord alright?" Lu Chengxi quickly got up from the ground, still in shock.

Tongquan drew his sword and pointed at the woman, only to find that the woman had lost her temper.

"It's okay." Bai Jiuxiao glanced at his middle finger that was scratched when he caught the hidden weapon with his bare hands, his expression was blank.

However, her play seems to have something wrong, it was stained by a drop of blood.

His complexion suddenly became a little bad.

Tong Quan's heart sank, and he quickly put away his sword to plead guilty: "It's because of my subordinate's negligence of duty, I couldn't find it during the body search, and I couldn't stop it in time just now, which put the prince in danger."

At this moment, he still has lingering fears in his heart, thanks to his prince's quick response and great skill, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyes: "Dispose of the corpse, and then go to receive the punishment by yourself, including those who are responsible for the body search, call them together to receive the punishment."

Tongquan took the lead: "Yes!"

Bai Jiuxiao took out a clean brocade handkerchief, Lu Chengxi thought she was about to wipe off her scratched fingers, and quickly pressed her wrist: "I'm going to get the medicine right now."

But Bai Jiuxiao pulled out his wrist and gently wiped the play with a handkerchief.

Lu Chengxi: "."

Still a mess.

Bai Jiuxiao sighed lowly, and motioned to Lu Chengxi: "Send the memorial to the palace, and take this jade pendant to Ning Qingzhou by the way."

"Sang Linguo did such a despicable act, and the prince still wants to return the jade pendant?" Lu Chengxi was very surprised.

Shouldn't you ask Sang Linguo for an explanation?

After following him for about two years, he knew him well, and he was never a person who repays evil with virtue.

Usually in this situation, it was his usual practice to send the woman's body or head as a gift to Emperor Sang Lin.

"It wasn't Sang Linguo's doing." Bai Jiuxiao put down the brocade handkerchief in his hand.

Lu Chengxi was surprised.

"A woman from Sang Linguo has had two piercings in her left ear since she was born, but she only has one, and she is not from Sang Lin." Bai Jiuxiao said softly.

Tongquan called two servants to come in and was carrying the woman's body away when Lu Chengxi stepped forward to have a look.

Really only one ear hole.

"My lord is so insightful and discerning." Lu Chengxi couldn't help but sigh.

Then, the expression became a bit more serious: "If it's not Sang Lin, who could it be?"

Although in these years, many people tried to kill Bai Jiuxiao, there were enemies on the battlefield outside, princes who coveted the throne inside, and ministers of civil and military affairs who were crushed by him with iron blood, and famous children who had been dealt with.

But it was the first time that the murder came to the door.

Bai Jiuxiao glanced down at the blood stain on the script, without lifting his eyelids: "When you return the jade pendant to Ning Qingzhou later, check who has been to him."

Although probably can't find anything.

It is impossible for the other party to understand clearly that he went to Ning Qingzhou to steal the jade pendant, it must have been obtained secretly.

Lu Chengxi was stunned: "What does the prince mean, the court man?"

"Is there not enough people in the court who want this king to die?" Bai Jiuxiao pushed the stack of memorials in front of him.

Lu Chengxi was dumbfounded.

Indeed, after all, he is the regent who monopolizes the government. He has power over the government, is decisive, and has ruthless methods. He has been fighting with iron and blood to clear the way.

Suddenly realizing what happened, Lu Chengxi's eyes lit up with joy.

The prince ordered him to do something, so this is to keep him and not drive him away?
Immediately put the jade pendant into his sleeve, and picked up the memorial: "The last general will go to the palace now."

"Well, by the way, tell Tongquan that after receiving the punishment, he will lead someone to parade the woman's body around the street, and stop for a cup of tea when he arrives at the gate of Chaozhong Baiguan's mansion and the gates of each prince's mansion. Continue." Bai Jiuxiao ordered.

Lu Chengxi was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised.

It was something Bai Jiuxiao would do.

The violent corpses paraded the streets, and still stopped at the gates of Baiguan and the princes' mansions. This is to warn the mastermind behind the scenes: The killer mission you sent failed, and you failed to frame Sang Lin. Don't think that the king doesn't know who you are. among these people.
