The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

When we left the restaurant, the moon was dark.

But there is still an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and there is laughter in the chasing and fighting.

The five of them walked along the street beside Tingfeng River, and the scenery was pleasant. At the same time, he was also looking for Xiao Yan. That guy ran away for more than two hours, but he didn't know what he was doing.

When passing through a dense group of lanterns, they came to an arch bridge, and when they climbed up the steps, they saw Xiao Yan standing on it.

I saw that he was not as quiet as he used to be.

Li Yuanfang saw Xiao Rui and hurried forward.

"Your Highness!" Li Yuanfang cupped his hands and shouted.

Pointing at Xiao Yan, Xiao Rui asked, "What's the matter? Lost your mind? Could it be that you were beaten by a woman for playing hooligan?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanfang nodded, and said: "Your Highness Nine did meet a woman, so he went up to ask her to fight the landlord, but was kicked by the woman. That woman's fourth-rank cultivation is not my opponent, but Jiu His Highness refused to let me capture her alive. Later, His Highness became like this."

Xiao Rui waved his hand and asked Zhuge Liuying to send the three girls home first, then walked towards Xiao Yan by himself.

"What's the matter, being wronged like this after being kicked? It's not like you." Xiao Rui sat with him on the railing of the bridge and said.

Xiao Yan sighed: "Brother Seven, this kick of hers kicked into my heart, ouch, I've decided, I won't marry unless she is the only one! Wild enough, fierce enough, spicy enough, suitable for me."

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste. Tell me, what kind of woman is it?" Xiao Rui asked.

Xiao Yan glared at Xiao Rui, and snorted: "I can't tell you, what if you also like it?"

"You don't even know their name, how can you find them? Today is a huge crowd, tens of thousands of people are playing, all kinds of people, it's useless to pass by." Xiao Rui felt sorry for him: "You really should let Li Yuanfang catch her , It’s not enough to cook raw rice and cooked rice.”

"Of course I have a way to find her, you treat me as an idiot." Xiao Yan sarcastically said.

At this time, Li Yuanfang explained: "Your Highness, the woman asked His Highness Nine for directions, and His Highness Ninth escorted her to Li Shoufu's mansion. It seems that she should know someone in Li's mansion."

"Li Mingyang, chief minister of the cabinet?" Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Could it be the illegitimate daughter of the Li family? If it is true, it is still possible for you to ask Father for a marriage."

"Seventh Brother thinks the same way? I think the same way, haha, I see the same thing. By the way, where is Sister Ruoxue?" Xiao Yan suddenly came to his senses and asked immediately.

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "I asked Liuying to take her back."

"Let's go, let's go to Li's mansion now. I want Sister Ruoxue to introduce me. This is a god-sent opportunity." Xiao Yan immediately dragged Xiao Rui away.

Just as Zhuge Liuying sent Li Ruoxue back to the gate of the mansion, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan arrived shortly thereafter.

Xiao Rui explained the purpose of coming, Li Ruoxue said in surprise: "Someone came to my house looking for someone? Didn't hear about it? Come in with me to have a look."

The two followed Li Ruoxue into the mansion and questioned the servants. Indeed, a woman disguised as a man came to look for Li Dongsheng.

Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan followed Li Ruoxue to Li Dongsheng's house, and when they arrived there, they saw Li Dongsheng enjoying the moon and drinking in the courtyard. He was still wearing the simple Taoist robe, looking extraordinarily detached.

"Your Highness Seventh Highness Ninth Highness, little sister, why are you here?" Li Dongsheng asked.

Xiao Rui explained the purpose of his visit: "Young Master Li, did a girl come to look for you just now? My ninth younger brother hit it off with her immediately, so I want to get to know her, so I came to the house to pay a visit."

After hearing this, Li Dongsheng's face suddenly became weird, and he shook his head and smiled: "Your Highness, Miss Bai and I also met each other once. When I traveled with my master to Pengcheng Mansion, I was surrounded by enemies. She helped me, so I owe her a favor, and she said that when she comes to the capital in the future, she will come to me and ask me to pay her back the favor. She came here just now to ask me to pay her back the favor, and she left after speaking. "

"Leaving?" Xiao Yan was suddenly disappointed.

"Where did this white girl go? Does Mr. Li know?" Xiao Rui asked.

Li Dongsheng shook his head and said: "This girl has a mysterious origin and is highly skilled in martial arts. She and I are only two-sided. Even if I want to ask her name and origin, I will only get one surname, and I don't know if it is true."

Xiao Rui nodded, and asked again: "I don't know what this Bai girl asked, can you tell me?"

Li Dongsheng said: "There is no need to hide what she asked me to do, and there is no need to hide it. She asked me to use the relationship of the Li family to search for a woman in the capital."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed and said: "If you find someone, she will appear!"

Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "That's right."

"Who is she looking for? I'll help you find it together! And my seventh brother, let's find it faster together." Xiao Yan said hastily.

It seems that Xiao Yan really fell in love this time!

Xiao Rui couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Li Dongsheng said: "The person she is looking for has only one name, Ye Qianying! She didn't tell me anything else."

"It's a very common name. There are countless people with the surname Ye in the capital. How can I find it? No, tomorrow I will go to Yingtian Mansion to check my household registration. Seventh brother, what do you think? Seventh brother?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Rui , but saw Xiao Rui frowned, and his astonished expression flashed past.

Xiao Yan wondered, "Seventh Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Rui's face returned to normal, he shook his head, and said: "It's okay, I just thought of something else, I will help you find someone, Ye Qianying"

Knowing her identity, she naturally knew that this Ye Qianying was indeed her aunt and mother's sister.

So, who is this white girl who suddenly appeared? Is it an enemy, or an old friend? What is she doing with Ye Qianying? Is Ye Qianying in the capital?

Xiao Rui's heart was full of curiosity, he didn't expect to have a serious business besides me playing tonight.

Leaving from Li's Mansion, Xiao Rui sent Xiao Yan back to his Tang Palace first, and then returned to Xianwang's Mansion. Zi Shi had passed by now, but Xiao Rui didn't feel sleepy.

He took out the box he got from Zen Master Jinxiu, saying that it was a relic left by his mother, so why is this box in Zen Master Jinxiu's? The father said that the mother was secretly poisoned to death by someone sent by Zhao Huang. Could it be that the monk Jinxiu was one of the poisoners?

His father only told his mother's life experience and the general context in general, without revealing any specific details. Xiao Rui believed that there must be many details that his father deliberately concealed from himself.

"I don't want to!" Xiao Rui lay down on the bed with the quilt covering his head, when he had enough strength and height, everything would come to light.

The next day, Yongli's first morning court in the 23rd year officially started.

After Xiao Rui finished washing, Li Yuanfang drove and escorted Xiao Rui to the palace.

Unexpectedly, when passing through the Chu Palace, they saw that the front of the Chu Palace was surrounded by patrol camps, and the red torches reflected the whole street red.

Xiao Rui was surprised, and after asking Li Yuanfang to take his prince's order, a captain of the patrol battalion came to report in person: "Reporting to His Highness King Xian, when His Highness King Chu went out to go to court, he was hidden in a carriage. The assassin below attacked and was injured. Therefore, the patrol battalion closely guarded the outside of Chu Palace and strictly checked the whereabouts of the assassin. Your Highness, do you need the patrol battalion to escort Your Highness to the palace?"

Xiao Rui said: "It's time to work, no need."

The captain bowed his hands and retreated, Li Yuanfang continued to drive, bypassing the Chu Palace to the Meridian Gate.

After entering the palace, the waiting officials were talking in low voices, they were all discussing the assassination of King Chu, Xiao Rui went to the other princes and heard them talking too.

"The assassin is too arrogant, dare to assassinate Prince Hehe! This is too provocative to the dignity of the royal family!" Xiao Feng said angrily.

Xiao Lie made a small noise, and said, "Perhaps the second brother did something wrong!"

"Brother is right. From my point of view, it should be a vendetta. Second brother often offends people. Maybe he killed someone inadvertently. They will come for revenge." Xiao Ming sarcastically said.

At this time, Xiao Ming saw Xiao Rui, and the fire in his heart boiled instantly, and he said immediately: "Look, the seventh brother is here, just like the seventh brother, he has been assassinated twice before, he has a lot of experience. After all, killing If someone is killed, it is very possible for them to come to take revenge, and you deserve what you make. I hope that the second brother will be like the seventh brother, that the injury will not be serious, and the danger will be turned into good luck."

Xiao Rui took out a small notebook and muttered while taking notes: "King Ke said that King Xian deserved the crime for killing the assassins of the Yan Kingdom and being revenged and assassinated by the assassins of the Yan Kingdom."

Xiao Ming said angrily, "King Xian, what are you writing about?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Isn't that what you just said? This king is the supervisor of the censor, and has the responsibility to check the words and deeds of all officials. If you say it yourself, you will have to bear the regret. When you see the father, I hope I have the guts to say so!"

Xiao Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to attack Xiao Rui forcefully, he could only hold it in his heart.

Because this matter was going to go to the father, he must be reprimanded, and he was severely reprimanded. After all, the injury of the king of Chu was unknown.

It was Xiao Lie who came out to save the siege: "Seventh brother, sixth brother also said unintentionally, don't take it seriously."

Only then did Xiao Rui put away the small notebook, and did not continue to entangle with Xiao Ming.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that before the morning court started, many imperial doctors from the imperial hospital came out of the palace in a hurry, accompanied by Mu Chen, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, and left the palace.

All the princes and civil and military officials looked at each other, looking at the situation, could it be that the king of Chu was seriously injured?

Everyone stopped discussing, for fear of saying the wrong thing at this critical moment, even the princes separated and stopped talking.

With the sound of drums, all civil and military officials went to court.

Emperor Xia went to the court, and before Hai Dafu had something to sing, he interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"You must have heard that the King of Chu was assassinated in front of the palace. Although his injuries were not serious, the assassin's sword was smeared with poison. I have already sent an imperial physician to treat him." Emperor Xia said in a deep voice.

The civil and military officials suddenly tightened their breathing.

Assassinated, poisonous?

Xiao Rui hid in a corner and couldn't help but laugh.

This assassin went on the road and knew how to smear the poison on the knife. It seemed that he hated the King of Chu to death. This also made Xiao Rui secretly thankful for the assassination he had encountered. If the enemy was also smeared with poison, wouldn't he be dead too?

Sure enough, he was righteous, and the assassin who came to assassinate him also paid attention to morality. Although you are dead, thank you for being disciplined. I wish you all the best in hell.

"I am very angry that such a bad phenomenon occurred in the morning court on the first day after the New Year!"

Emperor Xia's gaze was indifferent, and even his tone was calm, but everyone could feel His Majesty's anger and killing intent.

The officials knew that His Majesty was angry.

His Majesty seldom gets angry, once he gets angry, there will be a disturbance, everyone keeps his voice calm, not daring to offend Long Yan.

"This is seriously provoking and humiliating me!"

"Order the Patrol Battalion, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei to jointly conduct a thorough investigation of the entire city. Within five days, I want you to find the assassin. Anyone who dares to hide the assassin and go to prison for treason will not be allowed to intercede." Emperor Xia shouted.

Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu, Hai Dafu and Zhang Yu immediately received the decree.

And the following morning court also ended hastily, because His Majesty was going to the Chu Palace to visit Xiao Yiheng's situation. This concern made everyone see that Emperor Xia attached great importance to Chu King.

When Xiao Rui walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, suddenly, he finally understood what was wrong with him all the time.

Xiao Yan didn't come to court, where did he die?
