Chapter 282 The Gorgeous Killer VS The Undefeated God of War Prince 25
The night was as cold as water, Xuanyuan City was lying on the couch, his brows furrowed, his eyes closed, but it was difficult to fall asleep.
Out the window, the cold moon hangs high, and the cold moonlight shines on the ground through the window lattice, like a thin layer of frost.
As soon as Xuanyuan City closes her eyes, all she sees is Yu Yao trying to block her own arrows.
A sweet smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the depths of his eyes were filled with distress.
But then, Yu Yao's expression at the racecourse and after returning from the hut appeared in his mind.
At that time, she was absent-minded, her eyes were always wandering, and she looked preoccupied.
She said she was tired at the time and didn’t think much about it.
But on the way back, they were attacked by the Royal Court of the Western Regions.
Thinking that she is a dancer presented to Jingguo by the royal court of the Western Regions...
Xuanyuan Cheng didn't want to wonder if she was related to this matter.
But the harder I tried to suppress it, the stronger my doubts became.
He turned over irritably, feeling like a mess in his heart that he couldn't figure out.
The night wind blew quietly into the room, causing the bed curtains to sway slightly, as if mocking his sensitivity and suspicion.
He even doubted the woman he loved.
Still desperate, he went to save his woman without hesitation.
I don’t know how sad it would be if Yaoer knew that he doubted her so much.
Xuanyuan Cheng sat up and stared blankly into the dark corner. His mind was full of her smiles and her desperate efforts to push him away and block the arrow for him, covered in blood. scene.
"Yaoer, why are you so stupid?" He hugged her and asked with great distress.
"My lord, I am fine with you, and I have no regrets..."
Her face was pale, but she endured the pain and smiled.
"My lord, I am very happy to be able to protect you."
"My lord, don't worry, I am fine."
……
Xuanyuan Cheng thought of this and slapped himself hard. The sound of the loud slap was particularly clear in the night.
He felt that he was a lunatic, a beast, and a bastard.
A man like him is not worthy of a woman's love.
He kept his eyes open until dawn, sleepless all night.
I don’t know how long it took, but there were several birdsong outside the window, and the sky was getting brighter.
Xuanyuan City is still immersed in his own thoughts, unable to extricate himself.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and it was Li Fu's voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
Xuanyuan City took a deep breath, tried to calm down his mood, and responded: " Come in."
Li Fu pushed the door open with his maid. Seeing that the prince looked tired and his eyes were black, he knew that he had not slept well at night.
I thought that the prince might be unable to sleep because of the attack yesterday...
Li Fu did not ask any more questions. This was not something he, a slave, was qualified to ask.
He just asked the maid to help the prince wash up.
While being served by the maids, Xuanyuan City asked: "Li Fu, how is the situation at Mingxi Courtyard? Did Yao'er sleep well last night?"
Li Fu heard At the words of the prince, he bowed slightly, He said respectfully: "Back to your lord, I have never heard anything unusual in Mingxi Courtyard. I think Concubine Yu must be sleeping peacefully."
Xuanyuan Cheng frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with this answer, but he was not Say anything more.
After washing up, I had a simple breakfast and then went to the study.
Start immersed in official business.
Trying to distract yourself with official duties to avoid the constant thoughts in your mind.
In the Mingxi Courtyard in the backyard, Yu Yao was leaning on the bedside, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, but her eyes were a little empty.
The sun shone on her through the window lattice, but she didn't feel the warmth at all.
The house she lives in is elegantly and delicately decorated. The carved window lattice and bed curtains embroidered with exquisite patterns all reflect the dignity of the owner.
Xiangling held a bowl of medicine, opened the door and walked in, stopped beside her, and said softly: "Master, it's time to drink medicine."
Yu Yao came back to her senses, took the bowl of medicine, and frowned lightly He frowned, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, he handed the bowl to Xiang Ling and sighed.
Seeing her master sighing, Xiang Ling asked worriedly: "Master, your body hurts? Why don't you ask the doctor girl to come over and take a look?"
Yu Yao shook her head and stopped Xiang Ling. I thought about calling the doctor girl over.
"I'm very confused. I don't know what the prince thinks of me now."
"Master, don't think too much. You are blocking the arrow for the prince. The prince must be thinking of you. You are pregnant again." As long as the prince's child is born safely, he will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes. Even if the princess comes in the future, she will have a place as the master," Xiang Ling comforted her with a smile as she didn't know the inside story.
Yu Yao twitched her lips. If it weren’t for the identity of the killer from the Western Regions, she really wouldn’t have to worry. With the grace of saving her life, the child in her belly, and Xuanyuan City’s right to her feelings.
She has the ability to even sit in the position of princess.
But there happened to be a killer from the Western Regions between them, and her purpose in coming to Jingguo was also to kill Xuanyuan City.
She was not sure how this man would treat her after knowing the truth.
To be executed as an assassin, or to let her go and let her stay in the backyard of the palace...
Or to wait for her to give birth to the child in her belly, and then let her fly away and live so close to each other for the rest of her life. We will never see each other again...
"I hope so, but with my status...hey, I am always afraid that I will lose the prince's trust and favor because of this."
Yu Yao looked out the window with a complicated expression, and there seemed to be thousands of unspeakable thoughts in her heart.
At the same time, Xi Feng and Bei Feng began to investigate after being ordered to do so.
Xifeng sneaked into a seemingly ordinary inn.
He pretended to be an ordinary guest and chatted with other guests in the lobby, but his ears keenly caught every word of the people around him.
The inn was filled with the aroma of food and the noise of guests, while Xifeng was drinking and eating. While carefully identifying useful information.
At the same time, Bei Feng walked into a shabby teahouse.
The teahouse was full of people from all walks of life. He sat in the corner, quietly listening to the talk of those people in the world, trying to find clues related to the attack.
In addition to Xi Feng and Bei Feng, the secret agents of the Qin Palace located in various places have also been dispatched one after another to conduct secret investigations in various ways.
Night falls and the lanterns are turned on.
Xifeng put on black night clothes and quietly walked into the mansion of a wealthy businessman.
In that heavily guarded mansion, he carefully avoided the patrolling servants and sneaked into the study to look for possible secret letters or account books.
Bei Feng was in an underground casino, hanging out with the gamblers.
He chatted with them skillfully, digging out valuable intelligence from their inadvertent boasts and complaints.
After several days of sleepless investigation, we found many useful clues.
Even West Wind and North Wind discovered a shocking secret.
The true identity of Concubine Yu, whom the master loves so much, is actually a top killer secretly trained by the royal court of the Western Regions.
Proficient in beauty, martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing.
Even, he has been specially trained on how to deal with men.
The reason why he was sent to Jingguo was to assassinate his master.
This discovery frightened both Xi Feng and Bei Feng.
The two had once doubted the authenticity of the investigative information.
No matter how they investigate or confirm.
All clues indicate that Concubine Yu is the top killer trained by the royal court of the Western Regions.
This matter was of great importance. Xifeng and Beifeng did not dare to hide it and quickly went to report to Xuanyuan City.
In Prince Qin’s Mansion, the night was dark and the moonlight was thin, barely illuminating the bluestone path leading to the study in the front yard.
In the study, the candlelight flickered, reflecting Xuanyuan Cheng's stern face.
Wearing a black brocade robe with dark gold cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs, he was immersed in processing a mountain of official documents, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue between his brows.
"Master, I have something important to report."
Xifeng's voice sounded outside the door, with a bit of urgency and solemnity.
Xuanyuan City raised his eyes and said calmly: "Come in."
Keep your head down and continue with your business.
Xifeng pushed open the door and came in, holding a secret message in his hand. It was the information he and Beifeng had collected for several days without sleep.
He came to Xuanyuan City and bowed in salute, "Master, after days of investigation by my subordinates and Bei Feng, we have some clues about the attack in the dense forest that day."
< br>Xuanyuan Cheng stopped writing, looked up at Xifeng, and motioned for him to continue.
"The men in black who attacked the master that day were indeed the killers of the Royal Court of the Western Regions. They disguised themselves as caravans and traveled long distances from the Western Regions to Jingguo. Their purpose was to take the master's life."
Xifeng's voice was extremely angry, and he wished he could go to the Royal Court of the Western Regions and kill those wolf pups right now.
Xuanyuan Cheng’s face darkened, and the wolf hair in his hand snapped into two pieces.
He stood up suddenly, swinging his large sleeves and robe, and sneered: "It is indeed them!"
This sentence seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, with a Endless rage.
Xifeng had already expected that his master would be angry. He thought that the identity of Concubine Yu's killer in the Western Regions had not yet been reported. What would happen if the master knew the truth?
He instantly had a headache.
