"It's good that you remember. This Xiao wants you. If something big happens, don't care about this Xiao and Wangye. Just take Xiao Bei and leave.”Xiao Qingya asked.
" Wangfei, this…" Shui Shi hesitated. He was a hidden guard, and he was supposed to protect his highness with his life. However, Wangfei's words made him unable to answer.
"This Xiao only asks if Shui Shi can do it?”Xiao Qingya insisted on this answer.
"Since when did this king's secret guards need to be controlled by my beloved consort?”Seeing that Xiao Qingya had not returned for a long time, Gu Zeyan came out to look for her. Just as he arrived, he heard Xiao Qingya's question that Shui Shi found difficult to answer.
"Your highness, this Xiao only wants to send away all the people I care about. Wouldn't your highness have no worries when doing things?”Xiao Qingya asked Gu Zeyan.
"Shui Shi, what do you think?" Gu Zeyan glanced coldly at Xiao Qingya before asking Shui Shi who was in the room.
"Shui Shi will definitely protect his highness first.”Shui Shi replied calmly.
"As expected of this king's secret guard. Even if you want to protect Xiaobei, you should first say that you want to protect this king.”Gu Zeyan sneered.
"Shui Shi wouldn't dare." Shui Shi immediately lowered his head and knelt down, not daring to anger the current king.
"Shui Shi, listen to this king. From now on, this king wants you and Xiao Bei to follow this king's beloved concubine closely.”Gu Zeyan glanced at Xiao Qingya, whose expression had changed slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Shui Shi will follow your highness 'orders." Shui Shi said gratefully when he saw that his highness had no intention of punishing him.
"Humph." Gu Zeyan snorted coldly and turned around to return to his room.
"I'm sorry, I'm incompetent and couldn't protect the two of you.”Xiao Qingya saw him leave and knew that there was no turning back. She looked at him apologetically.
"Princess Consort, what are you talking about? If it wasn't for you, Shui Shi would still be a hidden guard and would never be able to live under the sun with Xiao Bei.”Shui Shi said sincerely to Xiao Qingya.
"Then Shui Shi should rest early." Xiao Qingya shook her head and left Shui Shi's room.
Xiao Qingya returned to the door of her room. There was not a single breath inside. It seemed that Gu Zeyan had not returned. Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, a red dart with a note embedded in the door frame.
"Who is it?" Xiao Qingya immediately turned around and looked around. When she didn't see anyone, she pulled out the dart and took out the note with the location.
Xiao Qingya hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went downstairs to the place written on the note. Gu Zeyan, who had just returned, immediately went to look for Xiao Qingya after hearing Xiao Qingya's shout. However, he saw that Xiao Qingya had disappeared, so he immediately went downstairs to check. Gu Zeyan looked around the inn in frustration, but he could not find anyone, so he could only search with his intuition.
"Who exactly are you?" Xiao Qingya looked at the person in front of her.
"You don't need to know who I am. I'm here to tell you that Gu Zeluo has been poisoned.”The man in black disappeared after saying that.
"Who was that just now?" Gu Zeyan saw Xiao Qingya standing there without moving and walked over to ask.
"I don't know, but he said that King Gu Luoyang has been poisoned and he wants us to go back quickly.”Xiao Qingya's eyes were filled with worry, but more than anything else, she felt that this was a conspiracy. As things had developed too quickly, there was no time to catch the man in black. Moreover, why did he tell her all this? What was his motive?
"What's your relationship? Why did he tell you all this? What kind of plan do you have with him?" Gu Zeyan's heart trembled when he heard that Gu Zeluo was poisoned. Because Gu Zeluo's poisoning had already confused his mind, he did not notice that something was wrong with this matter, causing him to vent all his anger on Xiao Qingya.
"I don't know what your highness is talking about.”Xiao Qingya frowned slightly as she looked at the angry Gu Zeyan in front of her. She decided to let him calm down and directly walked around him to return to his room.
"Xiao Qingya, you better not let this king find evidence that you harmed Brother Luo.”Gu Zeyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the person walking away with a cold expression.
Xiao Qingya returned to the inn and stopped in front of her room. She thought that if Gu Zeluo was really poisoned, she would have to go and ask Che Ye again. She could not help but smile bitterly. She had just chased Feng Shang away, but she did not expect him to come back. Thinking of this, Xiao Qingya turned around and walked towards Shui Shi's room. She knocked on his room and waited for his answer.
"Princess Consort." Just as Shui Shi was about to fall asleep, he heard a knock on the door. He immediately got up and opened the door to see Xiao Qingya. He was surprised, not understanding why he had returned.
"Shui Shi, you and Xiao Bei go after Feng Shang and ask him to bring young master Che Ye to the Xiao Yao Imperial Residence. Tell him that I have a favor to ask.”Xiao Qingya gave a simple order.
"Yes." Shui Shi immediately knew that the situation was urgent. He did not care about the sleeping Xiaobei and carried her out of the door.
"Shui Shi, take the carriage. Also, give this jade flute to Feng Shang and he will follow you back immediately.”Xiao Qingya handed the jade flute that never left her side to Shui Shi, thinking that Gu Zeyan definitely couldn't wait any longer, so it would be faster to ride a horse.
"Yes." Shui Shi paused for a moment, then took it and went downstairs to drive the carriage towards the Endless Cliff.
"Princess Consort, what's wrong?" Baili Qingkong heard the commotion and opened the door to ask.
"Something has happened to King Luoyang. It seems that we have to go first. Steward Baili and Young Master Shui will rush back to the Free and Unfettered King Mansion later.”Xiao Qingya went downstairs immediately after she finished talking to Baili Qingkong. She went to the stable and led two horses to Gu Zeyan, who was still standing in the courtyard. She got on the saddle and passed the other horse to him." Let's go."”
"Where are we going?" Gu Zeyan had calmed down at this moment. He also understood that this was done deliberately by someone. Although he was anxious, he had not finished settling the matter here. He was still struggling when he heard him say it. He could not help but be stunned and ask.
"I want to go back and take a look. I don't know what tricks he will play again.”Xiao Qingya looked into the distance with a dazed gaze. She then came back to her senses and looked at Gu Zeyan." Go back and take a look at the King of Luoyang. Since he didn't assassinate us again on the way, then there must be some changes in the capital."”
Gu Zeyan did not say much and immediately got on his horse. He thought about it and felt that he was right. Moreover, even if he was prepared to return to the capital overnight, he would not be so fast. The two fast horses disappeared for a moment. As long as the two of them reached the courier station, they would ask for fast horses from the courier station and continue to return to the capital quickly. The two of them managed to shorten the one-month journey to less than half a month. As soon as they reached the city gate, they saw a wanted poster on the wall. Gu Zeyan looked up and his face turned even colder. He did not expect that he would change so quickly in just three months.
Xiao Qingya followed Gu Zeyan's cold gaze and saw that the person wanted was the leader of the Carefree Pavilion, Mo Xi. It was said that Mo Xi and Yao Lian had conspired to assassinate the King of Luoyang. What was going on? Xiao Qingya also didn't understand. The Unfettered Pavilion was just a place for fireworks. Why would there be such a sudden change?
"Stop right there." The guards at the city gate immediately stopped him and Xiao Qingya, and compared them to the pictures of the arrest warrant on the city wall.
"All of you, get out of the way." Gu Zeyan roared angrily. He whipped the guard at the city gate and rode away.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingya understood that the situation was definitely more serious than he had imagined. She silently followed him on the side of the horse. The two of them immediately dismounted before returning to the Prince's mansion. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by Xiao Shi, who had followed Baili Qingkong for several years. He cupped his hands and bowed.
"Wangye, Wangfei." Xiao Shi saw that Gu Zeyan had returned, and the worry in his eyes eased. But seeing Gu Zeyan's cold face, he knew that he had to serve him carefully, so he carefully followed behind the two of them.
"What happened?" Gu Zeyan entered the hall and sat on the chair. He looked at Xiao Shi with anger and coldness. Just one sentence made people feel that it was a cold winter day.
"Xiao Shi isn't very sure either, but he believes that after Your Highness sees him, everything will be clear.”Xiao Shi lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"Lead the way for this king." After Gu Zeyan finished speaking, he immediately got up and followed Xiao Shi, not caring if Xiao Qingya was going to follow him.
"Wangye, Wangfei, this way please." Xiao Shi glanced at Gu Zeyan. Seeing that he had no intention of hiding anything, he led Gu and Xiao into the prince's study. He walked to the lamp in the corner of the room and turned to the right. The door to a secret room opened.
