There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 568 Assassination of the princess?

Su Xian was startled, stared at him blankly, and after a long time of murmuring, he shook his head and said with a smile:
"The young prince really thinks highly of me, haha. My title as a county prince sounds good to me, but I am not the prime minister in the Emperor's Hall. How can I make the decision on national affairs?"

Nalanjie didn't take it seriously. He opened the folding fan with a pop and fanned elegantly while smiling:
"Brother Su, don't be humble. Brother Su is not yet 20 years old, and he has already achieved so much. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a general or prime minister. I am waiting for that day in Liao Kingdom."

"I've had some wine in practice, and it's already late. It's already getting late, so the young prince should set off as early as possible." Su Xian stood up, patted his butt, turned around and got on the horse.

Waving his hand back, Su Xian clamped his legs on the horse's belly and whipped away with Yang Zhilan and others.

Nalanjie stood up quickly and shouted loudly from behind:
"Brother Su, that day will come soon..."

"..."

Galloping all the way, the distance of ten miles was reached in an instant.

The marching camp covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres is already in sight, and the camp gate at the entrance of the camp is getting clearer and clearer.

Alas?
Su Xian was riding on horseback and looking from a distance, he seemed to see an acquaintance, a [-]-year-old girl, wearing a smart outfit and a pair of long legs that gave her a tall figure.

That's...Tang Shujing!

Tang Shujing faced the direction of the gate, stretched her neck, raised her toes, and kept looking around, as if she was waiting and looking for something. It could be seen from her back that she was very anxious.

How come she is here?Could it be that you are here to find me?By the way, I promised her that I would ask for credit for her, but I almost forgot... Su Xian's hand holding the reins gently tightened.

The horse neighed and the whole team stopped.

"Take a detour and enter the camp through the camp gate over there."

With Su Xian's order, the group immediately turned around and entered the camp through the side gate.

After entering the camp, Su Xian went straight to the princess's sleeping quarters and asked for credit for Tang Shujing. He had been delaying it for a long time and must solve it while he was free today.

Princess Lanling had ordered that Su Xian could freely enter and leave her sleeping tent, so the guards outside the sleeping tent did not stop him and he successfully stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, Su Xian rubbed his eyes.

Did you get dazzled just now?

I seem to have seen Qiu Dianjun again...

Su Xian shook his head and walked towards Princess Lanling's study.

After passing through a temporary moon gate, he came to a garden inside the sleeping tent. There was no one in the garden, so Su Xian walked through it quickly.

Not only had he taken two steps, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted in a low voice: "Where are you going, Mr. Marquis?"

"Oh my god!" Su Xian was startled and took two steps back in panic. After seeing the man's face clearly, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said, stroking his heart:

"Qiu Dianjun, what do you want from me?"

"Master Hou is going to see the princess?" Qiu Dianjun looked around, seeing no one passing by, suddenly took a step closer, and said mysteriously:
"Master Marquis, please come with me. I have something to tell you. It is very important!"

"What's the matter? Can't you tell it here?" Su Xian couldn't help but become curious when he thought about Qiu Dianjun wandering in front of him twice just now.

"Someone may be passing by here. It's not convenient. Lord Marquis, please come with me. We can find a room to talk in detail." Qiu Dianjun said a word and turned around to walk out of the garden.

Su Xian hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was impossible for Qiu Dianjun to harm him. What was he afraid of? So he turned around and followed Qiu Dianjun.

……

at the same time.

In a side room next to the temporary dormitory, Princess Lanling was rummaging for something herself, but she couldn't find it anywhere, so she had to shout outside:

"Qiulan? Qiulan?"

"Princess, Qiulan is not here." Dongxue responded outside and entered the house. Seeing Princess Lanling rummaging for things, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Whatever the princess is looking for, it's better for the slave to come."

Princess Lanling hesitated for a moment, then finally stopped rummaging, walked to a chair in the room and sat down, rubbing her slightly sore arms, and said:
"Two days ago, the embroidery house sent a newly made... jade cover with a pair of butterflies embroidered with lace. It is very beautiful. I tried it on for a day and I think it looks good."

"Because I really like the pair of lace butterflies, after bathing and changing clothes that day, I ordered Qiulan to put them away..."

"On a whim just now, I wanted to find it and take a closer look, but I found that I couldn't find it. I don't know where Qiulan ran away?"

"..."

"Oh, don't worry, princess. I'll look for you first. If you can't find it, I'll go look for Qiulan." Dongxue began to rummage through the boxes.

……

the other side.

Su Xian followed Qiu Dianjun and walked in the sleeping tent for a long time. Finally, he came to a room similar to a wing room, and the two of them pushed the door open and entered.

"Qiu Dianjun, what's the important matter?" Su Xian casually glanced at the wing and found nothing strange.

"Master Marquis, please wait here for a moment. To explain this matter clearly, we need to invite one more person." Qiu Dianjun said.

"Then...Qiu Dianjun, if you please, I'll be waiting here."

There was a creak, the door opened, and Qiu Dianjun left.

Su Xian was the only one left in the wing.

He had nothing to do, so he looked at the furnishings and layout of the room. Although it was a temporary sleeping tent, the decoration of this wing was really good, with an air of luxury everywhere.

Ok?
and many more!

When Su Xian walked past a set of wooden frames, his eyes were attracted by something. It was a piece of snow-white silk wrapped in something and placed on a partition of the wooden frame.

The strangest thing is that there are red spots under the silk cloth, which look like... blood stains!
Su Xian was immediately frightened. In the sleeping tent where the princess lived, there was a bloody silk cloth. This was not a good thing. Could it be that someone was plotting to assassinate the princess?

Princess Lanling cannot be assassinated!
Su Xian didn't care about anything else at the moment. He walked to the wooden frame and carefully picked up the blood-stained silk package. He found that there was still a patch of red at the bottom. He touched it with his hand and found that it was indeed blood.

"What the hell is this...?"

"Could it be the cloth used by assassins to wipe sharp knives?"

After making a random guess, he slowly placed the blood-stained package back on the wooden rack and carefully opened it.

There is something wrapped in blood-stained silk. What is inside?

Could it be a blood-stained night suit?
Probably!

The hands he used to unwrap the package trembled slightly, which was caused by nervousness.

Soon, the package was opened and the contents were revealed.

Su Xian's complexion suddenly became very surprised and weird, his mouth slowly opened wide, and his eyes became wider and wider, as if he saw something extremely unexpected.

What exactly did he see?
The thing wrapped in the blood-stained silk cloth was not the night clothes as previously guessed.

But...a jade mask!
The embroidery work is extremely exquisite!

It has a gold metal frame and two extremely large "bowls" embroidered with various complicated patterns. The most eye-catching ones are two butterflies embroidered with lace.

When Su Xian held it in his hand, the wings of the two butterflies fluttered.

Moreover, the position where the butterfly "stays" is too intriguing.

It always gives people the feeling of... a butterfly lying on it to "gather honey"!
