Jiang Baiqu sent Yan Jin, Fei Xu, Liu Linfeng, and Nangong Yiyan to Chongguang Hall.
Jiang Baiqu didn't say anything. He picked up the one-foot painting. When Fei Xu saw the one-foot painting, her eyes immediately lit up. She said in surprise,"What happened?"
Jiang Baiqu smiled and looked at Fei Xu, then said,""Feixu, let Miss Nangong explain it to you.”
Nangong Yiyan bowed to Yan Jin, Fei Xu, and Liu Linfeng and said,""Empress, Princess, Lord. In the past, my elder brother drew this painting and depicted Consort Chen's appearance as proof. It was a token to protect Consort Chen's safety. Now that this painting has been stolen, it means…"
"That means that the assassin has appeared again. Shuimei's safety is a problem."”
Yan Jin was stunned, but he didn't have time to be distracted. Instead, he asked anxiously,"Who is the enemy killer?"
Nangong Yiyan hesitated for a moment before saying,""They should be killers from Beitang Clan, but they were actually sent by the Northern Desert Royal Family.”Nangong Yiyan was hesitant because even though the Beitang family was the target of this matter, she didn't have any evidence, so she couldn't be sure.
However, everyone was clear that who else could do such a thing?
Liu Linfeng only nodded secretly, but he did not say anything.
Jiang Baiqu took a look and said quietly,""Now that everyone knows the situation, I don't want Shui Mei to know.”
Yan Jin nodded." En, Your Majesty is right. Shui Mei has just become a mother. This kind of thing will definitely make her feel very uncomfortable."”Bai Qu's voice was calm and organized.""Yes, that's why I called you all here. It's to study how we should do things.”
Fei Xu thought for a moment and said,"Imperial Brother, since this killer will come sooner or later, we might as well invite him into the trap."”
Bai Qu smiled slyly." Feixu is deeply in my heart. Tell me."”
Fei Xu nodded and said," Yes, during the year when my royal brother ordered me to find the assassin, the last clue was cut off at Qin Mountain Pass, but..." Fei Xu rarely hesitated when she spoke, but she paused as she spoke, as if she had something to say and was thinking about.
Jiang Baiqu and Yan Jin could tell, but Nangong Yiyan didn't understand. As for Liu Linfeng, he didn't dare to interrupt because of his identity. "Feixu, no matter what it is, just say it."”
"Besides, Su Li's disappearance might have something to do with them.”
"Oh?" When Jiang Baiqu and Yan Jin heard this, they could not help but be surprised. Jiang Feixu nodded worriedly and said,""That day in the main hall, Imperial Older Brother left her there like that. It's hard to say if she would do anything harmful to Imperial Older Brother.”
"But this is secondary…" Jiang Baiqu nodded.
At this moment, Liu Linfeng, who had been silent all this while, spoke up,""Your Majesty, I have a plan. Is it appropriate?”Liu Linfeng was still a little worried, so he spoke very carefully.
"You are not guilty."
Liu Linfeng smiled and said,""Since Your Majesty has the intention to invite you into the trap, why don't you find another person and disguise yourself as Consort Chen? Explain that I ordered the inner guards to be on guard inside while Her Highness and the God's Will Army are patrolling outside. I don't believe that the killers will be able to get away with it!”Liu Linfeng's words sounded like he was planning a strategy, as if he had planned a chess game and was just waiting for that person to take the bait.
When Yan Jin heard this, he could not help but ask in puzzlement,"General Liu's idea is not bad, but what about Shui Mei? This matter should have been kept from her, right?”As she spoke, she pondered for a moment before saying,"Then how do you make others pretend to be Shui Mei? When would she dress up as Shui Mei? How could he get Shui Mei out of the Divine Wind Palace? And when would the killer come to assassinate him?”
Jiang Baiqu nodded." Yan 'er, you're indeed meticulous. This is also one of the reasons why I called you here."”
When Yan Jin thought of this, he asked,"What I don't understand the most is why the enemy country's killers are so determined to kill Shui Mei?”
Jiang Baiqu sighed, feeling a little dejected. He even said dejectedly,""It must be because of Zhen."
Yan Jin was speechless.
At this moment, a series of footsteps could be heard. The woman who walked in from outside the hall was Yi Shuimei, who everyone was nervous about.
Yi Shuimei's light yellow clothes were like a touch of sunlight, bright but not gaudy. She slowly walked to the door and nodded, but when she saw Yan Jin, she could not help but ask in confusion,"Bai Qu, I…did I come at the wrong time?”She sounded a little guilty, but Bai Qu couldn't help but smile and say,""How can that be? We're just discussing the banquet in a few days.”
"Banquet?" Shui Mei muttered and couldn't help but ask,"What banquet is it? Why doesn't Shui Mei remember?"
Yan Jin chuckled and immediately smoothed things over."Silly Shui Mei, it's naturally the princess 'hundred-day banquet.”She laughed at how she hadn't even thought of this.
Hearing this, Shui Mei was secretly happy. She blushed and said to herself,"So Bai Qu gathered so many people here because of Shu 'er.”She slowly walked into the hall and bowed." Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you. May I ask?"”
Jiang Baiqu looked at Shui Mei and was naturally extremely happy, but he was also puzzled: "Why are you all so reserved today? Could it be that a storm is about to come?”
He did not want to say anything else, so he said,"Shui Mei's matter is naturally important.”
Yi Shuimei thought for a moment and said solemnly,"Shu 'er still doesn't have a title, I think…I think His Majesty can give her the title of Princess Chang Yi during the day.”
At first, everyone only thought that Yi Shuimei loved her daughter dearly, but when they heard the name Princess Chang Yi, even Nangong Yiyan sighed. Yes, at that time, Bai Yi's death was known throughout the country.
Bai Qu did not say anything. Shui Mei thought that Bai Qu was hesitating and hurriedly said,"Although I can't see Princess Bai Yi…I'm not fated to talk to her, but Shui Mei can't forget her. If it wasn't for Bai Yi, there wouldn't be today's Shui Mei, and there wouldn't be Xueshu…So…"
Bai Qu smiled. This smile was very gratified. He stopped Shui Mei's emotional words,"Shui Mei, I know, I naturally have to agree." Don't worry."
Yi Shuimei raised her head and her anxious face unfolded. She bowed with a faint smile and said,""Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I should thank you for helping me."
Jiang Baiqu stood up with a smile. With a wave of his sleeve, he accidentally swept a stack of memorials to the ground. As for the one-foot-long map, it lost the cover of the memorials and instantly became so eye-catching. It was on the long table. Yi Shuimei had originally said that she would help pick up the memorials, so how could Yan Jin hold it?
Yan Jin adapted to the situation and pulled Shui Mei."Shui Mei, I haven't introduced you. This is Nangong Jiu's younger sister, Yi Yan.”As she spoke, she slowly turned her body to block the way. Then, she waved her left hand and pointed in Nangong Yiyan's direction.
Yi Shuimei didn't mean it, but she suddenly felt sick. She couldn't help but bow and ask,"Miss Nangong, how come you have the time to visit Han He today?”She shouldn't have asked this question, but Shui Mei couldn't hide the words in her heart.
Nangong Yiyan was at a loss for words. Yi Shuimei noticed it and said,""Yan 'er, what are you hiding from me?"
Yan Jin widened his eyes and did not speak, as if he was puzzled. However, he could no longer hide it from Shui Mei. Shui Mei did not speak either, but quickly walked around Yan Jin and towards Bai Qu's long table. Bai Qu was carrying the memorial, so how could he block Shui Mei? When he wanted to place the memorial on the one-foot map, Shui Mei had already seen the one-foot map with a smile.
"Ah, so it's for this." Yi Shuimei looked at the one-foot map and smiled faintly. This smile was a little cold, as if it was saying: "So I'm going to be unlucky again, but you won't tell me?”
However, she did not blame him. Instead, she closed her eyes and said after a short silence,""How do we plan to deal with this?"
Jiang Baiqu was stunned. He didn't expect Yi Shuimei's reaction to be so surprisingly calm. But if that wasn't the case, then what? Jiang Bai and Qu Jing were silent for a moment. They had to find someone to replace Shui Mei before they could be satisfied."We were discussing just now. We wanted Shui Mei to move out of the palace and find someone to disguise as you so that you would be safe…"
"Wrong." Yi Shuimei's voice was surprisingly calm, but there was a mysterious power that could not be refuted, as if it could suffocate you.
"Wrong," she repeated.
Jiang Baiqu didn't understand. He looked at her as if waiting for her to reveal the answer.
Yi Shuimei turned around and looked at everyone, then at Bai Qu. She said lightly," If that person is really the killer sent by the Northern Desert, why did he kill me and not someone else? Shouldn't he…" She hesitated for a while and said,""Shouldn't this person be Bai Qu?”
Fei Xu was shocked. It was hard to avoid being disrespectful, but it was the truth that was irrefutable.
But Yi Shuimei didn't finish her sentence. She said,""Regardless of what that person's true intentions are, how many assassins there are, and who will replace me, won't it still be extremely dangerous?”
When Yi Shuimei said this, her voice became heavy. Ever since she witnessed Bai Yi's death, that beautiful smile didn't give her a lingering haze, but a kind of strength that told her to grow up. She seemed to see many responsibilities of the country from the microcosm of Bai Yi's death.
Yi Shuimei's voice slowly became
