Chapter 176 Purpose
Taking advantage of Xiao Xuanyun's unpreparedness, Liu Guang raised his dagger and stabbed at him.Even if he was his subordinate, Xiao Xuanyun was on guard, but Liu Guang was too close to him, so he didn't have time to avoid it.Liu Guang obviously didn't want Xiao Xuanyun's life, her knife just made a cut on Xiao Xuanyun's arm.

He turned sideways just to make way for Liu Guang, and Liu Guang disappeared from Xiao Xuanyun's sight in a split second.The patrolling guards arrived at this moment, but the person in front of them was obviously beyond their expectations.

"His Royal Highness King Heng!" The leading guard sharply saw the wound on Xiao Xuanyun's arm: "You are injured..."

"Don't worry about me, an assassin broke into the palace just now, so hurry up and take someone to search!"

The guards immediately became serious, and chased after Xiao Xuanyun in the direction pointed.As soon as they left, Li Yu came out from the darkness.

"My lord, is this what Liu Guang did?"

"Yes, catch up with her and bring her back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

An assassin broke into the palace, and King Heng was injured because of this, the news immediately reached the emperor's ears.

"Who is the assassin? Did you catch him?" The emperor just felt bad. The matter of poisoning has not been fully investigated yet, and now an assassin broke into the palace!
"Back to the emperor, the guards are already hunting down the assassin, but they haven't caught it yet."

The emperor rubbed his forehead: "Where is King Heng? How is his injury?"

"The imperial doctor has already seen it, and said that His Royal Highness Wang Heng only suffered a little skin trauma, and it is not very serious."

Helianfeng has been silent, but he already has a guess in his heart.The palace is heavily guarded, how could an ordinary assassin have the ability to sneak in?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that assassin is the poisoner we are looking for."

"I think so too." The emperor turned his head and ordered the chief eunuch of Qifeng Palace: "Check it out immediately, there is a shortage of palace people in Qifeng Palace!"

Although the queen was also at a loss, she still signaled her father-in-law to do it immediately.The emperor did not hide the secret from the empress, and when he explained the reason clearly, the justice who counted the number came back.

"Your Majesty, all the palace people in Qifeng Palace are here, but...Miss Liuguang said she went to get some snacks for the empress, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Liu Guang?" Xiao Xuanyi asked the queen with his eyes.

"It's the woman who performed the dance at the banquet that day, and was brought back by the concubine from outside the palace. Could it be...she is the assassin just now?"

Now that the assassin's true identity is known, it will be easier to find her.In addition, it was not easy to hide during the day, so Liu Guang quickly exposed her whereabouts, but her martial arts were strong, so it was not difficult to get rid of the guards behind her.

She was careful all the way, and finally found the place she was looking for - Xingchen Pavilion!

There were many guards coming and going outside the Xingchen Pavilion, and the movement caused Mu Qiu's attention.She was wondering what happened when there was the sound of something falling to the ground outside.

Although Mu Qiu was under house arrest, the emperor did not make things difficult for her, so the gate of Xingchen Pavilion was not locked.Mu Qiu opened the door from the inside, just in time to see two guards guarding the door collapsed on the steps in front of the door, with a pool of bright red blood under their bodies.

"Ah!" Mu Qiu's conditioned reflex was to scream, but the woman in red who suddenly appeared in front of her made her stop her voice.

"It's you! Why are you here?" Mu Qiu looked at the fallen guards: "You killed them!"

Liu Guang didn't make a sound, and the bloody dagger in her hand was enough to explain the problem.Before Mu Qiu could react, the dagger in Liu Guang's hand had already stabbed at her.This time she showed no mercy, and pointed the knife at Mu Qiu's vital parts.
