Fortune Princess

Chapter 104

After exploring the mountain for a day and a night, I found a seemingly ordinary place that smelled of burning oil. Although it was already very faint, their martial arts practitioners have a much more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people, so they can be sure that the mountain fire is caused by man. , and at this moment, five or six men in black suddenly appeared and attacked them.

Fortunately, Huo Ting and his cronies are not easy to use. Although they hurt their arms by their desperate fight, they can still force them to retreat steadily.If it weren't for the arrest and interrogation, he would never have suffered this injury.

Seeing that several people were lost and fell to the wind, the people in black suddenly fell to the ground with bleeding from the corners of their mouths.A closer inspection reveals that there are poison pills hidden in their teeth, which is the usual method of the dead.

"Master Hou, they don't have any marks on them." The confidant reported.

Huo Ting thought for a moment, and immediately led people down the mountain. Due to the delay of these people, it was already dark when they went down the mountain.When he arrived near the camp, Huo Ting found that something was wrong with the kitchen. The meals should have been prepared by this time, and the people in the kitchen would usually set up a table in front to distribute food to the victims. There shouldn't be someone right.And he obviously saw a shadowy figure in the stove, so he winked at his cronies, and the three of them approached the stove quietly, only to see two people sneaking out from inside.

"Stop, which team do you belong to?" Huo Ting's confidant was the first to ask.

The two were wearing the clothes of his soldiers, but they had strange faces, and Huo Ting was vigilant.Seeing the two people look at each other, they directly pulled out their sabers to greet them, Huo Ting sneered, this kind of little guy dared to flinch in front of him.

The two men's skill was worse than that group of men in black, and they were quickly restrained. It took only a moment, before their cronies could remove their jaws, they also committed suicide by taking poison.

"Damn it!" Huo Ting couldn't help cursing.The cronies stepped forward to check, and found that the two men were different from the men in black, because the collar of the inner coat had the word "Zhao" embroidered on it.

Speaking of this, Huo Ting showed the collar to Xiao Qixing. The Zhao character embroidered with white thread was inadvertently obvious. If you don't look carefully, you can't notice it at all. You can feel the unevenness by rubbing your fingertips.

"It's too deliberate." Xiao Qixing sneered.

"Yes, I think so too. The food minister at that time had the doctor inspect it, and it was confirmed that it was poisoned. If the victims of the disaster ate it, they would die on the spot. At that time, the people's resentment will boil, and I'm afraid it will intensify if there is an unknown story." Huo Ting I was glad that I arrived in time, if I was a moment later, all the dirty water would be sprinkled on the emperor's head.

"You continue to investigate this matter secretly. If you have any clues, you can call someone in advance. Remember, no matter who dares to shake my country, you will be killed without mercy." Holding the collar tightly in his hand, Xiao Qixing's eyes were full of chills. Suddenly.

After Huo Ting left, Xiao Qixing asked someone to follow him to the Prince's Mansion.When Rong Hui saw the emperor arriving in person, he immediately knelt down and bowed down.

"How is the prince?" Xiao Qixing asked Rong Hui as he walked towards Xiao Yichen's bedroom.

"Go back to the emperor, His Royal Highness just drank the medicine and fell asleep." Rong Hui replied according to Xiao Yichen's instructions.

"Well, you are all waiting outside, I will go in by myself." Nodding in response, Xiao Qixing didn't intend to leave, and pushed the door directly to enter, Rong Hui and others were stopped outside the door.

Walking to the edge of the collapse, Xiao Qixing sighed when he looked at Xiao Yichen who looked slightly better. His son has been tortured by illness since he was a child, which is why he has never married Chen'er. concubine.

"Royal father..." Xiao Yichen woke up leisurely, saw the person sitting on the edge of the collapse, and called softly, that frail appearance immediately made Xiao Qixing's heart ache.

"Chen'er, are you feeling better?" Xiao Qixing asked worriedly as he personally supported Xiao Yichen halfway on the bed.

"Thank you, father, for your concern. My son is much better. It is unfilial for me to worry my father." Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes.

"Before I came here, I asked the imperial doctor. Your condition is stable. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will recover soon. I have something to tell you this time." , he simply followed their wishes, but this matter cannot be done according to what the ministers said.

Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Qixing quietly, and he had an idea of ​​what he was going to say.

Seeing Xiao Yichen so obedient, Xiao Qixing felt comforted, his son is good in everything, but his temper is too weak, and he lacks the bloodiness he had back then, but it's okay, a man matures late, and he will understand after he gets married.

"You are already. After all, the Prince's Mansion needs a mistress to help you with the housework and take care of your body. I decided to choose a day to choose a few women from high families or rich families as concubines for you. If you have other favorites, you can also You can accept it together, and the side concubine and concubine can settle together." Xiao Qixing just informed Xiao Yichen that he is the emperor, and even his own son can't refute what he wants to do.

"Yes, everything is up to the father." With his head slightly lowered, Xiao Yichen hid his thoughts. There is no father and son in the royal family, first the monarch and ministers, then the father and son, this is absolutely true.

His attitude probably made Xiao Qixing very satisfied, Xiao Qixing continued: "Just taking advantage of this opportunity, I will choose some of your younger brothers who have reached the age of 16, including the clan's nephews of the right age. Save those people from worrying about it." This is not self-satisfaction.

"Yes." Xiao Yichen agreed, he had already guessed that the emperor would do this, on the surface he didn't agree with the ministers' rhetoric, but in fact he could use excuses to promise him the woman with the phoenix's life, talk and talk It's not the divination words of the national teacher.

Xiao Qixing said a few more words of concern, then got up and left.Xiao Yichen stood up at the window and looked out, suddenly a figure appeared in the quiet room, bowing and kneeling behind Xiao Yichen.

"master."

Xiao Yichen turned around and looked at the person who came: "Did the Zhao family do the mountain fire?"

"Yes, master. Our people have checked the person who intends to attack the victims, and the word "Zhao" is indeed embroidered on the collar."

Xiao Yichen remained silent. This matter was too deliberate, and it seemed to be a frame-up.But the imperial concubine has Lian Yinger in her hands, and it is true that she wants to facilitate the selection of the concubine as soon as possible.If it is really the Zhao family, then they are too stupid.

"Is the matter of Baixianglou going to come to fruition?" Xiao Yichen continued to ask.

"Returning to Master, there were traces of people from other races coming and going in Baixianglou." The man informed them one by one.

"Foreigners?" Xiao Yichen frowned. After the fire in Baixianglou, the aliens should have evacuated. Is there any need for them to stay? "Did they put the stele?"

"I'm afraid not. According to the information we have, the aliens should have gone there after the stele appeared." The man deliberately tracked down this matter.

"Continue to spy on the Baixiang Tower, and tell the people in the palace that the imperial concubine's every move must be meticulous."
