"Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa's Heavenly No. 1 Secret Agent, Duan Tianya.”
Cao Zhengchun came to Duan Tianya's side, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"He…he drugged me and wanted to humiliate me.”Princess Li Xiu said in a trembling voice with a delicate expression.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at Princess Li Xiu and nodded with a faint smile.""Don't worry, I will handle this matter impartially and report it to His Majesty.”
It was obvious that this Princess Li Xiu of the Yun Nation had ulterior motives, and it was very likely that she was plotting against Emperor Zhu Houzhao.
However…
Cao Zhengchun did not care.
Now that Princess Li Xiu had captured Duan Tianya, he naturally had to go with the flow and get rid of this Heaven-ranked secret agent of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
As for Princess Li Xiu's scheme…Cao Zhengchun was confident that as long as he was by Zhu Houzhao's side, all the schemes would become his credit!
"Zhu Tiedan, oh Zhu Tiedan, there will be a time when you will beg this superintendent.”Cao Zhengchun was in a good mood.
"There were two more people. They were his accomplices and also wanted to harm me. When they heard your footsteps, they fled in advance.”Princess Li Xiu said.
"Two more?" Cao Zhengchun's eyes lit up and he quickly asked," Your Highness, do you remember their appearances?"”
"I only remember one person, and I should be able to draw his portrait." Princess Li Xiu hesitated.”
"One person? Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness to draw a portrait of him later.”Cao Zhengchun was a little disappointed, but the smile on his face did not fade.
If he could get rid of one person, it was one person.
On the other side.
Xiao Xun held Shangguan Haitang in his arms as they arrived at the North Town Administrative Office.
In the Northern Garrison Department, every thousand-man household had their own courtyard.
Usually, only when they were on night duty would the Thousand Households stay in the courtyard.
In a room in the courtyard.
Xiao Xun placed Shangguan Haitang on the bed.
Shangguan Haitang had already fallen asleep.
Xiao Xun sat by the bed. He did not wake Shangguan Haitang up immediately. Instead, he silently thought about what had happened tonight.
"At this hour, the palace gate should be closed. If Princess Li Xiu really drew my portrait, the East Chamber will most likely take the opportunity to make things difficult for me.”
Xiao Xun's expression turned cold.
Cao Zhengchun's Governor's Office was built in the Imperial City. After the palace gates closed, Cao Zhengchun's power in the Imperial City would be much greater than during the day.
In particular, both the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa and Six Fan School were built outside the Imperial City.
When the palace gates were closed, the gates of the Imperial City were also closed. Zhu Buguan, Zhuge Zhengwo, and the others could not enter the Imperial City at night when the gates were closed.
"Let's wake Shangguan Haitang up first. She might have an idea.”
Xiao Xun thought to himself as he looked at Shangguan Haitang.
Regarding what happened tonight, his stance was basically the same as Shangguan Haitang's.
Soon after.
Xiao Xun brought over a pot of tea and took a big gulp from the spout, spraying it directly onto Shangguan Haitang's face.
This spray was full of strength.
Shangguan Haitang was awakened by the pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Xun and her heart tightened.
"First, circulate your energy to dispel the poison." Xiao Xun said calmly.
" Remove the poison…" Shangguan Haitang recalled the scene before she fainted and gradually calmed down.
She was poisoned by Princess Li Xiu's Soul Severing Incense. Before she fell into a deep sleep, she heard Princess Li Xiu's monologue.
"You saved me?" Shangguan Haitang stared at Xiao Xun and asked.
"Saving you is also to save myself. I need a witness."”
Shangguan Haitang frowned and asked again,""Princess Li Xiu is talking to you?”
At that time, she only heard Princess Li Xiu's voice.
"Perhaps." Xiao Xun did not comment.
He guessed that Princess Li Xiu was able to know that he had gone to the embassy because Zhu Bujue was the one who had tipped him off.
Shangguan Haitang forced herself to sit up. She felt a burning pain on her face, and at the same time, it was wet.
" My face…" Shangguan Haitang glanced at Xiao Xun, her heart slightly raised.
"In order to wake you up in advance, I sprayed saliva all over your face.”Xiao Xun said truthfully.
Shangguan Haitang's face froze.
Saliva?
Bastard!
Was there such a way to wake someone up?
"I really have to thank you properly." Shangguan Haitang gave a fake smile.
"No need. You'd better get rid of the poison quickly. Tonight, we might be wanted by the East Chamber.”Xiao Xun reminded.
Shangguan Hai Tang's heart trembled.
…
After Princess Li Xiu took the antidote for Ten Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder, she drew a portrait and handed it to Cao Zhengchun.
Originally, Cao Zhengchun had guessed that the person drawn by Princess Li Xiu was either Guihai Yidao or Shangguan Haitang.
He didn't expect it to be Xiao Xun.
"Are you sure it's him?" Cao Zhengchun looked straight at Princess Li Xiu.
"Yes."
Princess Li Xiu gave a soft hum.
"Is he in cahoots with Duan Tianya?" Cao Zhengchun frowned.
"It should be." Princess Li Xiu said softly.
Cao Zhengchun's expression turned gloomy, subconsciously thinking that Zhu Budian had already roped in Xiao Xun.
He knew that Zhu Bujue had been looking for Yellow No. 1 to gather the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow ingredients.
Right now.
Xiao Xun had just saved the Empress Dowager, so he would definitely receive the Empress Dowager's favor.
Choosing such a person to be the Yellow No. 1 secret agent was the most suitable.
"Humph."
"How can I let you have your way?”
Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly and led the black-clothed guards out of the embassy.
"Surround this place and don't let anyone in or out.”
Outside the envoy's hall, Cao Zhengchun ordered.
"Yes."
A team of black-clothed guards surrounded the embassy.
"Xiao Tian, take this portrait that Princess Li Xiu drew and go capture Xiao Xun.”
Cao Zhengchun ordered.
Pi Xiaotian's eyes lit up.”
Cao Zhengchun frowned. He knew what Pi Xiaotian wanted to do without thinking." Try to capture him alive. He's the empress dowager's savior after all."”
"What if he refuses to obey?" Pi Xiaotian's eyes flashed. He still wanted to kill Xiao Xun.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at Pi Xiaotian." Capture him. You have one night to torture him."”
"I understand."
Pi Xiaotian's eyes lit up as he smiled coldly.
"Be careful. According to Princess Li Xiu, there is another person beside him. He should be a secret agent of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa.”Cao Zhengchun reminded.
Regardless of whether it was Xiao Xun or the secret agent of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa…in Cao Zhengchun's eyes, they were all juniors. With his status, it was not convenient for him to act directly.
If he made a move tonight, then he would have enough reason to deal with the people of the East Hall in the future.
Especially when Cao Zhengchun faintly felt that this Princess Li Xiu was somewhat strange.
He was not very assured and decided to monitor the embassy tonight.
"Then let's catch them all in one fell swoop."
Pi Xiaotian laughed lightly, not thinking much of it.
He was very confident in his own strength.
