In the imperial study of the palace.

It was the coldest time of the year, but the windows of the imperial study were wide open.

The wind and snow drifted into the room and blew on Emperor Qing.

He was wearing a white dragon robe for civil officials, holding a red brush in his hand, reviewing the contents of a thick stack of memorials that he thought were important.

In front of his desk was a huge crystal mirror.

It depicted a vast landscape of mountains and rivers.

After writing the last stroke, Emperor Qing put down his brush and sighed softly.

"Today's incident is a test for the fourth son."

As the Emperor of Qing, he naturally knew some of the things that happened in Yushi Street, and he also understood the methods of his sons.

"I wonder what attitude the fourth brother will have when he comes to see me after being bullied?"

"Crying like an eight-year-old? Or forbearance, or despair……"

Just as Emperor Qing was muttering, the footsteps of an old eunuch were heard outside the door. It was Yao Gonggong, the eunuch under Emperor Qing's seat.

After he walked into the study, he bowed and clasped his fists and said,

"Your Majesty! News just came from the Imperial City... There was a riot on Yushi Street, and the Fourth Prince's motorcade was almost disturbed."

"However, the troublemakers behind them disappeared."

Suddenly, the red pen in Emperor Qing's hand fell on the table, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a low voice

"What did you say???"

"Are you sure?!"

Eunuch Yao knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Your Majesty! I am sure"

"This is really ridiculous!"

"The dignified Fourth Prince is so shameless, and our Qing Kingdom is also ashamed."

After hearing this, Emperor Qing's face gradually became silent.

He stared at the mirror in front of him with deep eyes, then turned around and waved his hand.

"Go down!"

When Eunuch Yao heard this, he was immediately shocked!

"Your Majesty! You look terrible! Are you... okay?"

"It doesn't matter."

After saying this, Emperor Qing picked up the brush again and reviewed all the memorials submitted by the civil officials.

His eyes were dim, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, he murmured in an unimaginable voice:

"Is it Chang Qing's work? He is only eight years old. Can he do this?"

"Or is there someone in the capital standing by his side? Chen Pingping, Lin Xiang? Or Fan Jian?"

At this moment, Emperor Qing was suspicious!

……

At the same time, in another huge palace, this is the palace where the eldest princess lives.

She lives in a quiet courtyard with a clear lake in front of it, many flowers and trees planted around it, and many bamboo tables and chairs placed in the courtyard.

At this moment, the eldest princess was sitting in the courtyard. She was wearing a red dress and holding a military book in her hand, staring at the contents of the book.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a figure standing in front of her. It was her counselor Yuan Hongdao.

"How come you are back?"

"Is that thing done?"

"Li Changqing!! Was he killed?"

If Li Changqing heard what the Princess of Qing said, he would be extremely shocked!

It turns out that the person behind the assassination of Li Changqing was actually the Princess! Li Yunrui!?

At this moment,

Yuan Hongdao walked to the Princess with a bitter face, clasped his fists and sighed.

"Your Highness! That thing failed!!"

"You anticipated it well and arranged it perfectly."

"However, our plan failed at the last minute..."

"Our assassins failed!!"

Hearing this, the smile on Li Yunrui's face instantly froze.

Her eyes were cold and her voice was hoarse.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"Our killer was stopped by others?"

"How is this possible! Do you know who shot him? He is an eighth-rank assassin! He can't even kill an eight-year-old child? Are you kidding me!" As these words fell, a drop of cold sweat instantly dripped from Yuan Hongdao's forehead.

"Although I don't know what happened"

"But this time, we failed"

"The assassin never came back after he left, and the fourth prince appeared safely in the prince's mansion of the previous dynasty."

"We don’t know the reason for the failure yet."

As he finished describing what happened,

Li Yunrui’s eyes narrowed slightly and her voice became cold.

"who is it?"

"I don't believe that there is such a person in Kyoto!"

When Yuan Hongdao heard this, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face. Immediately

, the eldest princess Li Yunrui waved her sleeves and sat on her chair and sneered

"Just let him escape."

"An eight-year-old prince who can only write poems can't make any big waves!"

"There aren't many people in the capital who can stop us from assassinating them."

She finished her words.

Yuan Hongdao beside her remained silent.

After a while, he finally said something.

"Your Highness!"

"I have a question, why do you want to kill the Fourth Prince?"

"Although he was appreciated by His Majesty and was able to leave the palace to build a mansion, he had no achievements in the court and could not be a rival to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Why do you want to kill him?"

Princess Li Yunrui's pupils suddenly shrank.

She took out a painting next to the table and unfolded it to reveal a painting of an ancient beauty!

"Just because! His mother is very similar to someone, a person that I want to kill by any means possible."

At this point, a hint of ferocity gradually appeared in the depths of her eyes.

"Her name is Ye Qingmei!!"

When Yuan Hongdao heard this, he was shocked!

He nodded quickly and said

"I see!"

"I will take my leave now."

Li Yunrui looked at the woman in the painting, and her face gradually became ferocious.
