"My lord, my subordinates were confused for a while, please forgive me!" The guards lowered their heads in shame.

They are well aware that the feud between the royal family and Juechen Palace is as deep as the sea, and now the people of Juechen Palace have dug such a secret passage under their noses, obviously with ulterior motives, but they don't know anything about it, so they feel that they deserve death. So under guilt and impulsiveness, he drew his sword and killed himself.

The Ninth Princess's scolding made them suddenly wake up like enlightenment.

Yes, the prince has always treated them kindly. If they die like this, they will not only be sorry for the trust and friendship of the prince, but also let the traitors in Juechen Palace continue to go unpunished and hurt the prince, then their death is worthless.

Thinking about this clearly, the guards looked at the weapons on the ground again, and their hearts trembled slightly.

And Sima Rui originally had the intention of killing these negligent guards, but after hearing what Qing Yun said, he calmed down instantly.

The matter has come to this point, even if these guards are dealt with, it will be useless. The only plan for now is to find out the traitors of Juechen Palace who are hiding in the mansion as soon as possible, and the second is to strengthen the security of the mansion, and the people in the mansion should also be thoroughly investigated. again.

"For the sake of Jiu'er's intercession for you, the king will forgive you this time, and each of you will go to receive [-] boards later. If there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Yunfei and Longying quickly relieved the acupuncture points of the guards.

The guards hurriedly kowtowed and said in unison: "My subordinates are waiting to thank the prince for not killing you! So far, I have vowed to protect the safety of the prince and the princess, and never let the enemy take advantage of it!" Then they kowtowed heavily to Qingyun to thank: "Nine The princess's great kindness and virtue, the subordinates will never forget it!"

"Get up." Qingyun nodded slightly.

In exchange for their loyal guardian and better protection for the third brother and the third emperor's wife, this is what she really hopes to see.

The rest of the guards and the shadow guards were also deeply shocked, and their hearts became more and more determined to serve the prince to the death.

"My lord, everyone in the mansion has arrived, please show me my lord!"

Behind Ah Jun, all the guards and servants of the palace bowed their heads and knelt on the ground after saluting, wondering what the prince asked them to come here at this time?

Sima Rui looked at Qingyun: "Jiu'er, now that everyone is here, you can do whatever you want."

"Third Brother..."

Although it is to track down the traitors in the Juechen Palace, but this is the mansion of the third brother and the people in the palace, and the third brother and the wife of the third emperor are the masters of the palace. , but after seeing Sima Rui's trusting and doting eyes, he sighed secretly, then turned around, looked at everyone and said coldly: "Everyone raise your head."

Qingyun glanced at the people who obeyed orders and raised their heads one by one, seeing the guilt and panic flashing in the eyes of a few of them, Qingyun raised his eyebrows, and a devilish sneer crossed his lips.

Just about to ask those people to come out, Mu Xue, who somehow slipped to the side of a courtyard wall, suddenly howled at Qingyun a few times, and then howled a few times at the outside of the courtyard wall there, Qingyun understood, obviously Guardian You didn't stop after coming out of the secret passage, but fled directly over the courtyard wall: "Third Brother, there is no one I'm looking for here, I have something to do so I'll take my leave first."

Sima Rui thought for a while and then realized that the traitor from Juechen Palace that Jiu'er was chasing was not in the mansion at the moment: "I'll see you off."

It happened that Qingyun also wanted to ask Sima Rui something, so she nodded, said goodbye to Xu Kexin, and walked side by side with Sima Rui to the back door of the palace.

The back door of the palace.

Looking at Sima Rui who was hesitant to speak, Qing Yunqing said: "Don't worry, third brother, everything is under the control of my father and me, and Gong Yingjie has already been arrested. As for the escaped Juechen Palace remnants, I have my own way of dealing with it."

"That's good." Sima Rui felt relieved.

"Third brother" Qingyun thought for a while and asked: "Do you know what the father summoned the ministers to discuss tonight? Is it related to me?"

Ever since she took part in political affairs, her father would discuss everything with her, unless she was not in the capital. It had never happened before that she avoided her to summon the ministers like tonight. Could it be her marriage?After all, Chen Yu just asked her father for a marriage, and her father obviously disapproved of her being with Chen Yu, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem like it. You know, it's a bit abnormal that the brothers didn't even participate.

"I......"

"Please third brother, don't lie to me."

Sima Rui was stunned when he heard the words, and then he returned to his usual sternness in the blink of an eye, so fast that people mistakenly thought that the stunned look was just an illusion.

In fact, he never hid anything from Jiu'er, except his love for Jiu'er, and this matter, but this matter is of great importance, and the emperor strictly ordered them not to reveal anything to Jiu'er, otherwise. . . . . .He had to obey his father's will.

"Jiu'er, I really don't know what father and emperor summoned the ministers to discuss tonight, so I have no way of knowing whether it has something to do with you."

However, Qingyun, who stared at him for a moment, keenly caught the strange look on his face, and her dark eyes sank slightly. It seemed that her guess was right, but the third brother didn't want to say it, so she also Don't have to get to the bottom of it, which hurts the father and brothers.

"Since the third brother doesn't know, I won't ask any more." Glancing at the guards of the palace behind him, Qing Yun said in a voice that Sima Rui could only hear with his heart: "Third brother, the people in your mansion should be thorough. Check it out, especially..." After finishing speaking, after returning the coat to Sima Rui, Qingyun left with Mu Xue, Zi Ke and others.

In the bright and clear moonlight, the proud and elegant back gradually faded away. Sima Rui, who was standing at the door, had dark eyes and turned back to the courtyard resolutely for a long time.

This night, Prince Rui's Mansion was destined to be a sleepless night.

Relying on Mu Xue's keen sense of smell, Qing Yun and the others tracked all the way to the west of the moat, and Mu Xue shook her white head at Qing Yun.

Qingyun understood that the right protector must have left from the moat, and Mu Xue couldn't smell the smell of the right protector, so it was meaningless to continue tracking.

Looking at Qingyun whose face was as calm as water, Zi Ke hesitated for a while and said cautiously: "Princess, I found Princess Rui's embroidered shoes..."

"It's not Sister-in-law Sanhuang." Knowing what Zi Ke wanted to say, Qingyun interrupted her at the right time, looked up at the moonlight in the pitch-black sky, and sighed slightly: "Sister-in-law Sanhuang has deep affection for third brother." , she won't hurt third brother!"

Withdrawing her eyes and looking directly at Zi Ke, Qingyun said meaningfully: "As the old saying goes, it is better to pity the people in front of you when you are full of mountains and rivers! Some people will regret for life if they miss something, Zi Ke, what do you think?"
