The saint's face was as cold as frost, and he said in a cold voice: "Drugs entering and leaving the palace will be strictly inspected. How can such a strange drug enter the palace?"

"The old slave is conducting a thorough investigation now." Wei Wuya said: "First of all, we must find out the source of this medicine. There are not many people who can make this medicine. The old slave will investigate one by one and finally determine the person who made the poison."

The sage said: "There are many strange people among the people. Can we find them out?"

"If it's just an ordinary poison, finding the person who made it is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Wei Wuya's eyes were cold: "However, the production of such drugs is very complicated, and it is not easy to master the heat. It is like practicing martial arts.

If a person just picks up a knife and a gun and dances with it, it can be done in a few days. However, if you want to practice a superb sword technique, it will be very difficult without decades of skill. The creator of this poison is Poison

Master, there are not many people in the world who have achieved this level of skill."

The sage knew that Wei Wuya must know more about this than himself, and nodded slightly.

"Another direction of investigation is to find the route for the poison to enter the palace. Everything that enters the palace has been carefully inspected, not to mention such a special poison." Wei Wuya said solemnly: "It can make this medicine go smoothly.

Entering the palace, the person who planned this matter is naturally not an ordinary person. Not only is he very familiar with the situation in the palace, but he must also have a certain status. The old slave has begun to deploy in the palace to secretly investigate the clues of the drugs entering the palace. If there is any news,

Report it immediately."

The saint looked solemn and said: "If such a person really exists in the palace, he must be deeply hidden. It is not easy to find out immediately." After thinking for a while, he finally asked softly: "What do you think of the palace?"

Does this person really exist here?"

Wei Wuya lowered his head but said nothing.

"Why don't you speak?" The saint glanced at Wei Wuya and frowned.

"If there is no such person in the palace, then the Prime Minister is deceiving the emperor." Wei Wuya said slowly: "Forcing Wu Zhenzi to poison and helping the Bohai people win the arena is already treason."

The saint's eyes were stern and he said: "Xiahou Ning was killed. He has been in a very bad mood recently. He not only hates Jiangu deeply, but also hates She Yue and Qin Xiao."

"Old servant knows." Wei Wuya said: "But the Prime Minister is the chief assistant of the imperial court and has assisted the saint for nearly twenty years. He has been doing things calmly and steadily without any major mistakes. He has been sitting in the position of the chief assistant for nearly two decades.

In the past ten years, I have encountered countless things. If you are impulsive and lose your reason because of your emotions when doing things, you should have shown such weakness long ago. But in fact, the Prime Minister has never lost his mind because of his emotions.

When you are sane."

"So you believe what the Prime Minister said is true, that he has real skills, and that you really want to frame him?"

Wei Wuya said cautiously: "I am not sure that this is the case, but the Prime Minister is mature and prudent. Even if it is really just to deal with the princess and Qin Xiao, it is impossible for him to collude with the Bohai people. This is really the next best thing.

Because of the saint's favor, the Xiahou family is at its peak. Even if An Xinghou is killed, the Xiahou family is still the first family in the Tang Dynasty. The rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty is directly related to the rise and fall of the Xiahou family." After a pause, he said cautiously.

: "If he colludes with the Bohai people to harm Datang's interests, wouldn't he be harming his own interests?"

The saint's expression was a little complicated. He pondered for a moment and then said: "You have been in the palace for decades. If there is such a real ghost, you don't know anything about it?"

"This old slave is guilty of death!" Wei Wuya knelt down on the ground: "This old slave is so incompetent that he didn't even notice that there was a thief in the palace. He is unworthy of the saint's care."

"That's all, I'm just talking out of anger." The saint sighed softly: "You have been protecting me all day long. In the Nuo Grand Palace, there are tens of thousands of people. No one can understand everything in detail. And since that person dares to be in the palace

As a thief, he is outstanding in both courage and resourcefulness, so I can't blame you for this."

Wei Wuya stood up and said: "Old slave, I will try to find the real ghost as quickly as possible."

"Before the Bohai envoy arrived in Beijing, I had already prepared for you to go outside the customs after they left." The saint looked solemn and said softly: "But compared to the threat of Sword Valley, this ghost in the palace worries me even more. This one

The ghost is hiding next to me. If he hadn't taken the opportunity to frame the Prime Minister this time, he would not have been exposed yet." He looked at Wei Wuya and said, "If you want to find out the ghost, he must have noticed it.

He's hidden deeper, so don't be impatient. I believe that since he has surfaced, he will definitely reveal his flaws. The trip outside the border will be slow for the time being, and we will wait until we find this ghost."

Wei Wuya bowed and said yes.

Of course, Qin Xiao didn't know that the saint had ordered Wei Wuya to start tracking down the ghost in the palace. He followed Changsun Meier out of the imperial study, slightly lagging two steps behind. This was also a sign of respect for Changsun Meier, but in this way, it was just right.

You can see the beautiful back of the eldest grandson, Sheguan, who is graceful and charming.

"The princess is very happy." After walking out of the yard, Changsun Meier suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled sweetly: "She said she would reward you heavily if she had the chance."

Qin Xiao looked at his eldest grandson Mei'er, who was as beautiful as a hibiscus with a smile, and said softly: "I don't have to go to the Bohai Sea as an official, and I feel at ease."

"Huh?" Changsun Mei'er was startled, and couldn't help but whisper: "If I don't go to Bohai, why are you practical?"

"This...!" Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If a good girl like She Guan marries to Bohai, it will be a loss for our Tang Dynasty, and it will be an advantage for the people of Bohai."

Changsun Meier smiled tenderly and said, "So you still care about whether I marry far away."

"That's natural." Qin Xiao took a step closer. The body fragrance of Changsun Meier was naturally different from that of the princess, but it was also refreshing: "I heard that the saint wanted to marry you to Bohai. I have been very anxious and thinking about it.

There is a way to stop this."

Changsun Meier rolled her eyes and asked softly: "If the people of Bohai set up an arena, and if the Tang Dynasty loses, it is not the princess but me who marries Bohai, will you also be willing to compete on the stage?"

"There is no doubt." Qin Xiao said without hesitation: "The officer has taken great care of me. I said before that as long as I have the opportunity, I will repay you."

Changsun Meier smiled sweetly and said softly: "Do you know how difficult it is to go to the Northeast?"

"We are already prepared."

"Actually, the situation over there is more complicated than you think." Changsun Meier said quietly: "Needless to say, the Liaodong Army, although it is no longer a capable army, is a group of proud soldiers and strong generals.

The achievements of their ancestors are so domineering that they regard themselves as the invincible iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty. They have regarded the Northeast as their own one-third of an acre. Now that you want to train troops on their territory, they must be vigilant and must work together to fight against the enemy.

You create trouble and force you away from the Northeast."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Officer, I have seen a lot of ruthless people. If I don't want to, no one can get rid of me."

"There are also Black Mountain bandits, don't underestimate them." Changsun Meier lowered her voice and said: "The Black Mountain bandits are as strong as they are today. They relied on real swords and real guns. They use Black Mountain as their lair. It is said that not only are the bandits brave, but they are also brave.

There are also many extremely powerful generals. The Liaodong Army has never been able to get rid of them, not only because the Liaodong Army is incompetent, but also because the Black Mountain Bandits are really powerful. When you go there to train troops, the Black Mountain Bandits will naturally think that the court is going to deal with them.

It won’t let you succeed smoothly either.”

Qin Xiao knew that Changsun Meier's warning was really out of concern for him, and she was completely out of kindness. He was grateful and said softly: "When I get there, I will naturally act with caution. Sister Sheguan, don't worry too much."

"No wonder the princess admires you so much, look at your sweet mouth." Changsun Meier smiled like a flower: "Do you always call people sister when you meet them?"

Qin Xiao scratched his head and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Sheguan, the princess admires me very much, you... what about you? Do you appreciate me or not?"

Changsun Meier was startled, then her face darkened, and she said, "Don't talk nonsense. Aren't you worried that the princess will know that you and I are talking nonsense? If she knew, she wouldn't be able to spare you."

"Why can't you spare me?" Qin Xiao pretended to be stupid and said, "Princess, won't you allow me to talk to Sister Sheguan?"

Changsun Meier was a little embarrassed. Although she guessed that the princess and Qin Xiaoding had something that no outsider knew, she couldn't say it out loud. She glared at Qin Xiao with a charming look and changed the subject: "Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of War.

"Lian Yin, you said earlier that you wanted to select some people to follow you to the Northeast, and these must be filed with the Ministry of War."

Qin Xiao nodded, looked around, approached Sun Meier and asked in a low voice: "Sister Sheguan, can you still meet the princess before leaving the capital?"

"You almost caused a big disaster last time." Changsun Mei'er scolded softly. She also looked around before lowering her voice and said: "I'll tell you something. It's good for you to know. The palace is investigating these days.

The mole is extremely strict in interrogating people coming in and out. It is at the height of the crisis and we cannot arrange for you to see the princess for the time being."

"The mole?"

"The person who was kicked off the ring by Yuan Gai Wushuang was a disciple of the Great Heavenly Master of Yutiantai." Changsun Meier explained: "Before he came on stage, he was poisoned in the palace. Because of this, the chief manager has begun to investigate who it is.

This was planned behind the scenes."

Qin Xiao's body was shaken and he was greatly surprised. He naturally remembered the unknown young hero. Chen Xun disappeared afterwards, and he didn't know where he came from. Only then did he realize that the unknown young hero turned out to be a disciple of the Great Heavenly Master Yu Tiantai.

What surprised him even more was that the disciple of the Great Heavenly Master was actually poisoned in the palace. This was of course a big deal.

"Can we find any clues?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Changsun Meier shook her head and said: "As long as you know this, don't get involved and don't ask too many questions. I want to tell you that at this time, the palace is heavily guarded. If you enter the palace secretly, you will probably

If you are discovered, it will be bad if the princess is implicated. But if you want me to bring it to the princess, I can help you."

Qin Xiao originally thought that the eldest grandson Meier would arrange for him to enter the palace to say goodbye to the princess, but he did not expect that something like this would happen in the palace. He knew that it was really not appropriate to enter the palace at an emergency, so he would be fine. If it really hurt the princess and eldest grandson She

Officer, that would be unforgivable even if you die.

"Then please trouble Sister Sheguan to tell the princess to take care of her...!" Qin Xiao felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that if something was too intimate, it would be inconvenient for Zhangsun Meier to take him there, so he said softly: "I

When you get to the Northeast, if you see anything interesting, bring it back to the princess and Sister Sheguan."

"Just think about the princess, don't think about me." Changsun Meier smiled lightly.

Qin Xiao added: "After I leave Beijing, Sister Qiuniang will stay in Kyoto. I also ask Sister Shaguan to take care of me more when I have the opportunity."

"Don't worry." Changsun Meier nodded and said, "You don't need to ask me, I will send someone to take good care of you." He looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, you should hurry up and get out of the palace. It's already very late." He paused.

After a while, he said softly: "Take care."

Qin Xiao bowed his hands and bowed, and the eldest grandson Meier bowed slightly, and then turned around and went back to the imperial study. Qin Xiao watched the graceful figure go away, and then turned around and left the palace.

When she got home, it was already midnight, and Qiuniang was waiting anxiously. After all, she was suddenly taken away by two people of unknown origin, so how could Qiuniang not be worried.

Seeing that Qin Xiao came back safe and sound, Qiuniang was relieved.

"The saint summoned me." Qin Xiao returned to the room, held Qiuniang's hand, and looked at Qiuniang's beautiful face under the light. He felt a little ashamed and said softly: "The saint named me a loyal military commander.

I will leave for the Northeast in the next few days."

"Northeast?" Qiuniang was a little surprised: "Northeast is far away from Kyoto. I heard that the climate there is cold in winter. Can we adapt to it?"

Qin Xiao felt even more guilty. He held Qiuniang tightly and said softly: "What the saint means is that when I get there, I have to do my errands first. After I stabilize, I will send someone to take you there, so...!"

Qiuniang's expression suddenly became a little sad, but she quickly smiled and said: "Okay, then you go first, and when you are ready over there, I will go over." She said quietly: "I'm just not with you, so I can't take good care of you.

, take care of yourself."

Qin Xiao hugged Qiuniang into his arms and said: "Originally, I wanted to arrange the marriage with you before leaving, but Brother Gu is in Jiangnan and won't be able to come back for a while. He is not in Kyoto, so this marriage will be difficult.

It’s not easy to do. And it takes some time to prepare for the wedding. It’s a bit hasty to get married at this time. Sister Qiuniang, when I arrive in the Northeast, I will stabilize myself as soon as possible. Then I will ask the saint to send you to the Northeast. When we get there, we will immediately

If she doesn't agree to get married, I will come back to Beijing to take you away."

"You have me in your heart, and I have been yours for a long time. Wherever you are, my heart is there." Qiuniang leaned into Qin Xiao's arms and said softly: "You are a man, just like Bai Yi, you have to

Take important matters as your priority and don't worry about me. I will listen to you in everything. When you make arrangements, I will be your wife."

Qiuniang was so considerate, and Qin Xiao felt even more guilty.

When I first got together with Qiuniang, I originally wanted to take good care of her, but in fact, I spent less time together and more time apart. Now it even made her become the saint's hostage to restrain him. Moreover, this separation will not only last long.

But Qiuniang didn't even complain.

He held Qiuniang's fragrant and soft body in his arms and said softly: "When I married you, I wanted to do it in such a glorious way that everyone in the world will remember it." A hand slipped from Qiuniang's waist and pressed against her.

Qiuniang put her plump buttocks against her ear and said, "It's already very late, good sister, I have to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband."
