Supreme Return

Chapter 228 The Secret Rumor of Death (2)

Ding Ding Deng

In the palace, although the footsteps of the guards were extremely light, they were still so clear in this dark night.

If there is no urgent matter, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to do so.

Now it was the middle of Yin time, it was time to sleep well, no one dared to make such a big commotion, lest it would affect the sleep of His Majesty and Empress.

But this time is different...

Even the running guard didn't dare to stay, and hurried to the door of the bedroom, and said something to the maid who was always ready to be summoned in the concierge, which made the maid a little surprised, "You said the son entered the palace late at night for something important? Don't you know that His Majesty and Empress have already fallen asleep? Can't wait to come back tomorrow?"

"No way! The prince said that the matter is very important! I'm going to talk about it, but the prince must have an audience!"

"This... well, you stay here later, I will go in and ask what your majesty and empress mean!"

"As soon as possible! I see Shizi, I am really anxious!"

"Row!"

The maid didn't dare to delay, she opened the door of the bedroom carefully, and tiptoed to the bedside, when she was about to speak, Zhao Qingtian opened her eyes very vigilantly, "What's going on?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the prince seeks to see you!"

The maid was taken aback, knelt down hastily, and said respectfully.

"Xuan'er?"

Zhao Qingtian was startled, "What is he doing here so late?"

"Your Majesty, the son only said that the matter is so important that he has to come here at night!" the maid continued.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Empress Feng Xiu was also awakened, and asked in a whisper.

"That bastard Xuan'er is here, and he said he has something important to do! Empress, you can continue to sleep! I'll go and have a look!" Zhao Qingtian said softly.

"Xuan'er is here?"

Feng Xiu frowned and said, "He has always been lazy, and he entered the palace at such a late hour, something must have happened! No, I'd better go with you!"

"Okay then, let's go together!"

Zhao Qingtian nodded, and said to the maid, "Go and order someone to invite the prince to the side hall, and also order someone to prepare some fruit refreshments!"

"Yes!"

The maid respectfully agreed, and hurriedly withdrew to order others, while she came in again with several other maids to serve Zhao Qingtian and the queen to dress.

…………

When Zhao Qingtian and Feng Xiu came to the side hall, they saw Chu Xuan and Zhou Lan sitting on the chairs, and they were eating fruit cakes with smiles, showing no signs of anxiety at all, which made Zhao Qingtian's eyes full of excitement. Black thread, did this brat come here for entertainment?

"Stinky boy, are you enjoying your meal?" Zhao Qingtian walked in with a black face, and sat directly on the main seat with Feng Xiu.

"Hey, it's very good! Uncle and aunt, do you want some?" Chu Xuan laughed along.

"roll!"

Zhao Qingtian waved his hands angrily, "Stinky boy, someone will forcefully wake me and your aunt up so late, if there is nothing important, let me see how I will deal with you!"

"Hey... Uncle, let everyone else retreat!"

Chu Xuan grinned, but Zhao Qingtian was suspicious when he heard it. Did something important happen?

"Hehe, that's enough! You all step back first! In addition, without His Majesty's order, no one is allowed to come within [-] meters of this place, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

At this time, Feng Xiu directly replaced Zhao Qing and ordered the world, and the serving maid and the guards outside the door also hurriedly bowed and retreated, and soon within a hundred meters of the side hall, except for the four of them in the hall, there was no one left. No one else exists.

"Stinky boy, what's going on, can we tell now?" Zhao Qingtian took the tea poured by Feng Xiu himself, and drank it while asking.

"Hehe...it's not too important, but Empress Zi Nuo was assassinated and died in her palace!" Chu Xuan shrugged and replied with a light smile.

click...

"puff……"

The teacup fell from his hand and shattered, Zhao Qingtian sprayed out a sip of tea, and Chu Xuan, who was just a few steps away from him, was caught off guard and was sprayed all over the face.

At the same time, Feng Xiu's expression also changed instantly, becoming extremely ugly.

"Brat, you... what did you just say? Who was assassinated?" Zhao Qingtian seemed unable to believe his ears, staring at Chu Xuan who kept wiping his face, obviously a little angry.

"Xuan'er, you can't take this kind of joke! If she really dies with us, or in the palace specially set up for her in the imperial capital... it will definitely cause a war between the two countries!" Feng Xiu also looked closely at Chu Xuan .

"Uh……"

Chu Xuan was speechless for a while, but at this moment, Zhou Lan smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't be nervous! It was Xuanzi who didn't make it clear just now that the assassination of Her Majesty tonight was actually a scene we played with her That's all!"

"acting?"

Zhao Qingtian turned to look at Zhou Lan and asked.

"Yeah! Acting!"

"Is it really acting?"

"real!"

The simple question and answer between the two made Zhao Qingtian and Feng Xiu heave a sigh of relief...

Snapped!
Immediately, at the next moment, at the moment when few people had time to react, Zhao Qingtian got up directly, kicked Chu Xuan's body, and scolded angrily, "act! Act! Brat, I ask you to act for me! "

Chu Xuan looked at his uncle speechlessly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Alright, stop hitting, don't really break Xuan'er!"

Feng Xiu hurriedly went up and pulled Zhao Qingtian back to sit down, and glared at Chu Xuan reproachfully, "Xuan'er, you are really too! Such a grown-up, yet so naughty!"

"hey-hey……"

Chu Xuan grinned, hurried over and patted Zhao Qingtian on the back lightly, with a flattering smile on his face, "Uncle, don't be angry! It's all my fault! Well, if the dragon's body is broken by anger, then But it's not good!"

"Stinky boy, tell me the truth, what's going on? What kind of acting can make Empress Zi Nuo die?" After a while, Zhao Qingtian calmed down a little and said angrily.

"Uncle, the thing is like this, in fact..."

Chu Xuan was just about to say something, but Zhao Qingtian stared suddenly, "Shut up! It's Lan'er, so you won't talk nonsense to me again!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

Zhou Lan covered his mouth and chuckled, but Chu Xuan was speechless, sat down angrily, grabbed the pastry on the table and ate it, which made Zhao Qingtian and Feng Xiu laugh.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, arrest warrants were posted all over the imperial capital. The person wanted was the Holy Shadow Assassin, but his appearance was only four or five points similar. If he was not someone he was really familiar with, he would never have guessed that it would be Wu Ying. .

It stands to reason that every time a wanted warrant was released, in addition to some information on the wanted person, there would also be crimes committed...

But this time it was not the case. Not only was there no information, but even the crime was unknown, which confused many people.

Of course, these are also arrangements after discussions between Chu Xuan and Zhao Qingtian.

The purpose is to make the person behind Wu Ying, that is, her master who eats women, feel that the Qingyun Empire is covering up the truth about Queen Zi Nuo's death. If he wants to find out the truth, he will go there secretly. Empress Zi Nuo's palace, then the combination of the two, the chances of this person being fooled will be higher.

As for Queen Zi Nuo, in fact, Chu Xuan had secretly taken her to stay in Chu Palace temporarily, leaving only Zi Mo in the palace to deal with it, so as to prevent the people below from doing any irrational behavior.

Simultaneous actions in several aspects, although the people of the imperial capital did not find anything amiss, but there were still rumors spread by some interested people.

Of course, under high pressure, these rumors can only spread secretly, at least not causing any big waves on the bright side.

Rumors claimed that Empress Zi Nuo had been assassinated!
Of course, in the eyes of many ordinary people, Empress Zi Nuo is undoubtedly a high-ranking figure!

How could such a character be stabbed to death so easily?

In their view, rumors are just rumors and are not worth believing at all, but even so, the news has become the talk of many people after dinner. Unfortunately, almost no one believes it, and no one will worry about it. The war with the Ziyan Empire.

Furthermore, the Qingyun Empire is the strongest of the three empires!
Even if there is a war, don't they still have Emperor Qingtian, God of Death on the battlefield, and so many dedicated soldiers?
"Xuanzi, is this all right?"

In the Prince Chu's mansion, Zhou Lan had a weird expression on seeing Empress Zi Nuo who was having a great time playing with Xiao Xiao and Xiao Jiang.

"It's not enough now, we have to add more fire!"

Chu Xuan smiled softly, "Lan'er, don't worry! I've already made arrangements! If what Wu Ying said is true, then news will come back within seven days at most! I really want to see, what is it? what kind of person!"

"I want, too!"

Zhou Lan nodded slightly.

At this moment, a clear cold murderous intent flashed in the eyes of both of them.

That person is definitely an evil heretic, he deserves to be killed! !
"Giggle..."

Not far away, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Jiang, accompanied by Empress Zi Nuo, let out bursts of ringing laughter.

At this moment, Empress Zi Nuo has already put on an ordinary dress. Not only does she lose the majesty of the usual empress, but she also looks like a big sister next door. In addition, she really likes it. The two little fellows made Chu Xuan and the others look sideways at her...

"Master, young lady, the meal is ready!"

Not long after, Xiao Yu came over.

"Well! Let's go, let's eat!"

Chu Xuan nodded with a smile, and went to call Empress Zi Nuo and the two little guys to have lunch together.

"Xuanzi, am I not allowed to watch the last match of your college?" After the meal, Queen Zi Nuo asked.

"What do you say?"

Chu Xuan rolled his eyes.

If she showed up, wouldn't their plan to lure the snake out of the cave by hiding it secretly be shattered?

"If you don't go, you won't go, but let Xiao Xiao and Xiao Jiang play with me?" Queen Zi Nuo said.

"Row!"

Chu Xuan shrugged. Anyway, there are people helping to take care of the two little guys, and they are in Chu Palace, so there is no need to worry about accidents.

Counting the time, tomorrow will be the third round of assessment competition. Thinking of Sun Hao and the seven of them, Chu Xuan couldn't help showing a gratified and somewhat mature smile on his face, which made Empress Zi Nuo curl her lips...
