Chapter 193 Why Did You Write To Me?

"No, it's a long night and dreams, so I have to do it tonight."

Qinglian directly rejected Patriarch Liu's proposal. Seeing that Patriarch Liu was still hesitant, Qinglian said again:

"This matter is not only about the Empress Dowager, once Ling Xuan comes forward to explain that Qin Tianjian's mistakes are true, the Liu family will also be involved in a thorough investigation at that time. Don't forget, the Liu family and the Empress Dowager are both prosperous and both What's more, the Liu family is helping to spread rumors in the capital, once the mouth is opened, these things can't be stopped."

After Qinglian said this, Patriarch Liu's expression immediately became gloomy.

His dark eyes stayed on Qinglian, and he nodded after a while: "I'll make arrangements now, you go back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother, tomorrow I will send someone into the palace to deliver the letter."

"I'll wait here." Qinglian said: "The gate of the palace is closed, and it is easy to attract attention if I go back to the palace at this time. I will stay at Liu's house tonight. After the matter is successful, I will go back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother tomorrow."

"That's fine too."

Patriarch Liu left a word, turned around with a sullen face, and left the study.

He called the servants at home and told him: "There is a distinguished guest in the study, please treat me well, and no one else is allowed to come here."

"Yes."

After finishing the order, Patriarch Liu went out of Liu's house and knocked on the door of a courtyard two streets away. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with obvious scars on her face.

Patriarch Liu looked around and went in directly.

After closing the door, he said: "It only takes one hour to call everyone in the city here."

The woman nodded silently, turned around and entered the back yard, where several pigeons flew silently in all directions in the city.

This is the contact point set up by the Liu family. Any urgent matters can be notified from here.

Soon, people came over one after another. These people were all wearing black night clothes, covered their heads and faces, leaving only a pair of dark eyes exposed, and they stopped silently in the yard, waiting for Liu's family to come. Lord's command.

One of the men in black walked up to Patriarch Liu, folded his hands and waited for orders.

Patriarch Liu threw the note he had prepared while waiting, and the man in black opened it and looked at Patriarch Liu in surprise.

Patriarch Liu nodded and raised his hand again. The man in black didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly left here with the rest of the people.

After finishing these, Patriarch Liu drank the hot tea brought by the woman.

The woman couldn't speak, so she could only wait quietly.

And those men in black quickly merged into the night and headed towards Ling Xuan's house.

In the night, a figure left quickly, entered Jiu'an Palace again, and dragged Li Yi up who was about to rest.

"My lord, the Liu family has taken action!"

Li Yi was interrupted just as he was about to rest, he supported his head sleepily, only after hearing these words did he regain some energy.

"What's going on? Isn't the Liu family quite quiet these days? The palace also knows about spreading rumors outside, so what else can they do?"

"The head of the Liu family went to the contact point in the city and sent the men in black to assassinate Ling Xuan, the envoy of Qin Tianjian."

"what?"

Li Yi immediately woke up, and then frowned again: "What are they killing Ling Xuan for?"

"The subordinates don't know either, but the Liu family's actions are probably the Queen Mother's intention. Could it have something to do with the palace? There is a person still watching over there, and the subordinates come back to report to the prince. I ask the prince to decide what to do next. "

"What else can I do! Save people!"

Li Yi casually took his coat from the side and was about to put it on, but found that this was clearly telling the Liu family who he was, and asked them to prepare a set of night clothes to change into. He took the guards and rushed to Lingxuan in a hurry. at home.

Along the way, Li Yi didn't even think about why the queen mother would suddenly attack the people of Qin Tianjian.

Even if you want to kill someone, you should find a deputy envoy.

Did Ling Xuan provoke the Queen Mother?
The man in black arrived one step ahead of Li Yi, and had already entered the house. Li Yi thought something was wrong, and was about to go down to save others, when he saw the men in black coming out from various rooms. The knives in their hands were not stained with blood. One of the men in black ordered.

"Search!"

Looks like this, is there no one to kill yet?

Li Yi took advantage of the situation and hid on the roof. Watching those men in black search everywhere, but found no one in the end, he asked the guards beside him in a low voice: "Is Ling Xuan not here?"

The guard shook his head and said he didn't know.

They usually only pay attention to the Liu family and don't care about other things.

What's more, Ling Xuan is a member of the Qin Tianjian, and has little relationship with the court. This Ling Xuan is withdrawn and doesn't see people very much. He is like an invisible person in Beijing. Who has nothing to pay attention to his whereabouts?
"Strange."

Li Yi murmured: "Could it be that Ling Xuan knew that someone was coming to kill him, and was already prepared?"

He is even more curious now, how did this Ling Xuan provoke the Queen Mother, and let the Liu family spend so much money.

After confirming that these men in black couldn't find Ling Xuan and evacuated some of them, and left a few people in ambush at home, Li Yi ordered the two guards: "You watch this side, and be sure to keep an eye on Ling Xuan when he comes back. Save his life and send him to the palace first, this king will go into the palace."

"My lord, the gates of the palace are closed, and you climbed over the palace wall to enter again?"

Li Yi raised his hand and patted the guard on the head, turned around and disappeared into the night.

The two guards looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and continued to observe the movements of the men in black.

……

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ling Xuan's gaze shifted from Fu Yao to the screen behind her.

The screen does not see through, but he can probably guess that the emperor is behind the screen.

When he withdrew his gaze, Ling Xuan already had a calculation in his heart.

"The Empress summoned me late at night, what orders do I have?"

Fu Yao looked at Ling Xuan and asked bluntly, "Did you write to me today?"

Hearing these words, Ling Xuan's eyebrows twitched immediately, his eyes subconsciously fell on the screen, he sighed slightly in his heart, but still nodded: "Yes."

"Why did you write to me . . . and tell me about the nutmeg?"

"As the official envoy of the Qin Tianjian, the Qin Tianjian made a wrong judgment on this matter. I should correct it in time. When I went to check, I was blocked by the Queen Mother, so I wrote a letter about Nutmeg. Inform the empress, and at the same time, the Lingtai officials also informed the emperor of the deputy envoy's wrong guess."

"wrong."

Fu Yao shook his head.

Even if Qin Tianjian found something, he should directly inform the emperor, even if he wanted to inform the empress, he would not write a letter privately, and he could clearly write a letter directly.

He did it as if it was a private matter between the two of them.

And there is that sentence in the letter.

"I will help you."

Now that I think about it, it's all private.

But before she could ask, Ling Xuan interrupted her: "Empress Empress, I am thinking of Qin Tianjian."
