The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

571 Episode [-]: Who Framed Who

Duanmu Xuanrui wasted a day because of arranging the affairs of the city defense battalion, so he took the time to go to the small building and practiced for a while before returning.

It was already dark, and apart from the patrolling guards and servants, there was no one else to be seen in the palace.

He was thinking about what he had gained today, and as he walked, he felt someone not far away.When he looked over, it was a black figure sneaking up from the side.

If it was a normal person, how could he walk like this?Duanmu Xuanrui frowned and quietly followed.

With his martial arts, tracking a person is not a problem at all.Soon, the distance between him and that person gradually narrowed. Looking at the back of that person, why did he feel familiar?

Walking to the edge of the pine forest, the man looked back.At this moment, Duanmu Xuanrui saw clearly the face of that person, it was Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao, what is he planning to do?

Duanmu Xuanrui became more vigilant and followed him into the depths of the pine forest.Nan Xiao stopped, and he stopped too, hiding not far away to observe.Not long after, another black figure came over, and then Nan Xiao's voice sounded: "Is anyone following you?"

"No, I checked carefully."

"Yeah. I've been thinking about this for a long time. If we want to dismantle the Snow Country, we must start with the pillars. We need to make a plan to get rid of Qiu Mu, You He Yin, Lin Feipeng and others. "

Sure enough, Nan Xiao, you really have another purpose.Now you show your fox tail.

Duanmu Xuanrui poked his head out slightly, he wanted to see who the other person was.But because of the dim light, he could only vaguely see the man.But he could tell that the man was wearing the armor of a general of the guard army.

"Tomorrow and night, call the other three people, and we will discuss the countermeasures."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

"Okay, let's go."

After Nan Xiao finished speaking, he and that person quickly left the pine forest.After they left, Duanmu Xuanrui came out from behind the tree, his bright eyes half-closed piercingly.

Then he immediately turned around and walked towards the harem.Emperor Father should be in Yueluan Hall at this time, he has to tell him about Nan Xiao's conspiracy right away.

But as he walked, he stopped.Duanmu Xuanrui frowned slightly.

He said, would Father believe it?It is well known that he and Nan Xiao are at odds.When he said this, his father would definitely suspect that he was lying, and maybe he would startle the snake.No, he had to grab the handle first before reporting to his father.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Xuanrui couldn't help narrowing his eyes.Well, don't you have a party tomorrow night?I'll catch all of you and get the stolen goods, and then the emperor will no longer doubt me.

Thinking of this, he turned and went home.

In the early morning of the next day, he went to the city defense battalion to station in the imperial city barracks, and the general rushed out to greet him.They entered the tent together, and the Lord General asked respectfully, "Your Highness, what's the matter here?"

"The general is right. I want to dispatch troops to catch the rebels tonight."

"Catch the traitor? This kind of thing should be the responsibility of the guard army?"

"One of the spies is someone from the army of guards. I can't trust them."

"Excuse me, where is your highness going to arrest people?"

"Nanfu."

The general paused for a moment: "The family that ranks first in the national examination?"

"Yes."

The general hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Do you have an order from His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know about this yet."

"This……"

"General, this matter is no small matter, and His Majesty can only be convinced if there is evidence. If this matter is done well, the credit belongs to both of us. If it goes wrong, I will bear it alone."

Now that his words have reached this point, what else can the chief general say?Of course I agreed.

In the middle of the night, he led five hundred soldiers from the city defense battalion to surround Nanfu, and then broke in.He arrests anyone he sees, and finally breaks into Nan Xiao's bedroom.

It was pitch black inside the house, and after the soldiers broke in, torches lit up the room.There was no one there, only Nan Xiao, standing by the bed in shock, wearing pajamas and a messy bun.

"This...what's the matter?"

When Duanmu Xuanrui saw that there was no party at all, he was naturally extremely anxious.He walked a few steps quickly, grabbed Nan Xiao who was taller than him by the collar, and asked angrily: "Where are those people hiding?!"

Nan Xiao had recovered, and roared angrily: "Who are you talking about? I want to ask you, why did you bring someone into my house in the middle of the night!"

"You conspired to rebel, and you are still asking me?!"

"King Yuexiang, you are spitting blood!"

At this moment, the soldiers who were searching around gathered together, and a general ran in and said, "Your Highness, there is no one or thing that can be dispatched."

Duanmu Xuanrui was stunned for a moment, Nan Xiao pushed him away, stared at him and said: "King Yuexiang, I want you to give me an explanation!"

Looking at Nan Xiao who didn't change his expression and heartbeat, Duanmu Xuanrui suddenly understood what was going on.He clenched his fists and said fiercely, "So it was your trap!"

Nan Xiao frowned: "What did you say? What clues!"

Duanmu Xuanrui guided Xiao: "You deliberately lured me here to plot against me. I fell for your trick."

"Duanmu Xuanrui, it's okay if you don't like me on weekdays, but today you even brought the city defense battalion to come here to make trouble, and you said that I plotted against you, it's simply outrageous. Don't give me an account of what happened today , I'm not done with you!"

King Yuexiang privately mobilized the defenders of the city defense battalion to forcibly break into the Nanfu, which became a topic of discussion among the court officials.In the imperial study room, Duanmu Canglan frowned and looked at the two children opposite.They all looked wronged and indignant.

"Father, you know my son, I will never lie. That night, in the pine forest, I did hear that he and a guard from the army introduced the murder of my loyal minister of Xue Country, and made an appointment to spy on him at home last night. .That's why I sent troops to come here to get all the stolen goods. Who knows that he said that on purpose and lured me to his house in order to frame me."

Nan Xiao quickly retorted: "King Yuexiang, you are really a villain who complained first. It was clear that you were framing me, but you still bit back. You have a lot of prejudice against me on weekdays. I just thought it was political dissatisfaction. And, I didn't expect you to go so far, how did I, Nan Xiao, offend you, you want to do this!"

"Enough! Shut up!"

Duanmu Canglan gave an order, and the two children stopped talking.He looked at Nan Xiao, then at his son, and asked, "Xuan Rui, you said you saw Mr. Nan talking with a man guarding the army in the forest, do you know who that man is?" ?”

"Let go to cover the moonlight, so I can't see the man's face clearly."

"What about the sound?"

"My son doesn't recognize that voice."

With a helpless expression on Nan Xiao's face, Duanmu Canglan said: "Okay, I will investigate this matter, neither of you are allowed to argue about this matter anymore, go back!"
