Chapter 52
Master Li speaks straightforwardly, without beating around the bush: "That is to say, there are people in the Fragrant Tea Hall who want to assassinate Princess Xuanping. But why?" He thought for a while, and then said: "There are many benefactors in the Fragrant Tea Hall It’s a member of the court, since the assassin came from the Fragrant Tea House, in other words—”
Master Li looked at Fu Guan and said, "It is one of those benefactors who really wants to attack the princess." Master Li hesitated to speak: "But..."
But when Princess Xuanping first arrived in the capital, the Ban family had already withdrawn from the elite circles of the capital, and had never had any conflicts of interest with others. Therefore, the case of the new princess being assassinated was particularly strange.
But right now in the capital, only Fu Guan is involved with Princess Xuan Ping.
If the reason behind this assassination has nothing to do with the Ban family, then the only possibility is that Princess Xuanping was completely implicated by Fu Guan to suffer this catastrophe.
If you think about it carefully, this is the most likely possibility.
A while ago, Fu Guancai was rewarded by the emperor for being the magistrate of Pingjiang, and then he was transferred to Dali Temple on duty.Although he is a small official, His Majesty's move seems to have sent out a signal——
A signal to settle the feud with Princess Duanshu.
Although the eldest princess is a woman, her talent was once appreciated by the late emperor.If she and the Fu family return to the court, then the situation in the court will inevitably cause a violent turmoil.
There are only so many people in the court, and if someone has power, it means the decline of another group of power.
Who doesn't want the family power to prosper forever?
Therefore, if the eldest princess' faction really rises, then everyone in the court will never stand by and watch.In addition, Fu Guan's recent actions have obviously violated the interests of some people in the DPRK and China.
The person behind the plot has already taken action, but the first victim is the new concubine.
Fu Guan naturally thought of this point.
He stood up, wiped his hands with a clean handkerchief, and said, "No matter who is the mastermind behind it, I have to ask someone from the Fragrant Tea House today."
Mr. Li smiled and said: "I'm afraid I won't be free today. I have something to do in the mansion, so I have to go back. Since this matter is related to the prince and concubine, it's better for the prince to come and make this trip."
Fu Guan: "Brother Li, let's go back earlier today, and I will watch over other things here."
Master Li didn't refuse, he patted Fu Guan on the shoulder and said, "Then it will be hard work for you."
After sending Master Li away, Fu Guan changed into ordinary clothes, called Xuan Miao again, and asked him to take the two of them to the Fragrant Tea House.
A group of people came to the Fragrant Tea House immediately while it was still dark.
When they were going to go through the lobby, they were stopped by someone.Xuan Miao showed the badge of Dali Temple, and several people were able to enter.
The woman watched a few of them enter the inner courtyard majesticly, and murmured: "Why are all of them here on business at the Fragrant Tea House today. Is this the place where their high-ranking officials do their business?"
Speaking of this, she thought of one thing: "Oh, by the way, that beautiful young master just said that he was going to meet Mr. Qiu. It should be here soon, yes, I will let her know."

Lou Xiyue waited in Jasmine Hall for a while, seeing the men and women around them getting more and more noisy, she thought of leaving.
But before he had time to put it into action, a young man ran over and said, "My lord, Aunt Fang asked me to come and tell you that Mr. Qiu will be here soon. If you want to find him, you can go to Zhaohui Qiulu first." Go wait."
The young man pointed to the front and said, "Lord Qiu's box is right there, just go straight there and pass through the Jasmine Hall." He smiled flatteringly:
"My lord, please forgive me. I can't lead you there. I have other important things to do here, so I can only ask you to find your own way."
Lou Xiyue didn't care about this: "Go and do your work."
It just so happened that she was tired of staying here, so she should find out Qiu Zhi's details as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.
So Lou Xiyue bypassed the noisy crowd in front and walked towards the small door at the back of Moli Hall.But where did she expect that after only a few steps, a well-dressed young man walked towards her.
Lou Xiyue glanced at the other party, and immediately turned her head away to hide.
She frowned and thought, isn't that the guard next to Fu Guan, named Xuan Miao.
Although she didn't see Xuan Miao many times in the palace, each time she only had a quick glance.But she remembered Xuan Miao's appearance, that person was indeed Fu Guan's right-hand man.
But didn't Xuan Miao follow Fu Guan to handle the case in Dali Temple, why did he come to the Fragrant Tea House?
Could it be that Fu Guan has already returned to the palace and knew she was here, so he sent someone to take her back?
She hasn't met Qiu Zhi yet, and she hasn't asked the reason why Xian Yang's family was destroyed. If she goes back here, all the previous arrangements will be in vain.
Lou Xiyue thought about it for a while, then took advantage of the cover of the crowd, and walked inside while hiding her head.
She wanted to avoid Fu Guan's eyeliner, but at this moment, there was an uproar in front of her for some unknown reason.
In an instant, Jasmine Hall was full of noise.
Those literati all stood up, pushing and shoving between you and me.
Lou Xiyue was bumped unexpectedly.She quickly stabilized her figure, raised her head again, and heard the beautiful woman on the high platform in front of her say with a coquettish smile, "Everyone, look after me, I lost it!"
After the words fell, the colorful hydrangea was thrown towards the crowd in the audience!
"Hey, hurry up, hurry up!——"
"Don't squeeze me—hey, I'm over there, hurry up!"
"Over there, why can't we grab it!"
……
Lou Xiyue followed the crowd, only saw the hydrangea being thrown up and down in the air, out of reach of everyone.
She waited patiently for a while, then turned around, and found that there was no one behind Xuan Miao.
Lou Xiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then squeezed through the crowd and walked out.
But at this moment, the person on the other side suddenly screamed, and then a shock force slammed into her back.
Lou Xiyue was restrained both front and back, and she fell out of the ground with such a bump!
Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she stumbled and bumped into someone else. At the same time, someone behind her shouted: "The hydrangea has flown past!"
Lou Xiyue didn't care about the hydrangea or not, and just wanted to raise her head to say sorry, but something fell from the top of her head.
The colorful ribbon fell on her face, and immediately, the hydrangea rolled into the arms of her and the person in front of her.
And just when she raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, the other person also lowered her eyes and glanced at her.
Lou Xiyue's eyes widened slightly: "..."
The familiar face in front of her had just told her to return home as soon as possible not long ago.
Lou Xiyue's body stiffened for a moment, and then stood up unnaturally.She wanted to straighten the hem of her clothes, but found that her arm was firmly grasped by Fu Guan.
She took a deep breath and said, "My lord, please let me go."
