Chapter 347 The Assassination of Li Xiaozhu

Qin Yi slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly. Seeing her embarrassing appearance, he couldn't help but find it funny that there were still movements she didn't know.

According to her taste, she ordered a few signature dishes with ease, Xiaoer took notes and left quickly.

Li Xiaozhu looked at the person opposite, curled his lips, remembering the green hairpin on his head, he rarely opened his mouth.

Looking downstairs eagerly, she was really hungry.

The man was sitting on the side, and the well-tailored and loose robe made the man's figure even more slender.

The two were silent for a while, Qin Yi suddenly glanced at a familiar figure in the half-open room next door, got up suddenly and walked over.

"Qin Yi, why are you going?" Li Xiaozhu asked suspiciously. Just as he was about to get up, he saw the waiter at the door walking in with his head down and carrying vegetables. The man paused when he saw Qin Yi's figure, and then walked away as if nothing had happened He came up and said, "Here comes the food!"

"The food was served pretty quickly." Li Xiaozhu sat down quickly, and it was better not to care about Qin Yi, the aroma of the food had already wafted over.

Xiao Er put down the plate and said, "Guest officer, take it easy!"

Li Xiaozhu picked up the chopsticks, nodded and said, "Thank you."

The accident happened only in an instant, Xiao Er suddenly raised his head, took out a long knife behind himself and slashed at Li Xiaozhu.

Qin Yi's eyes were suffocated, and he flew forward and immediately got up and kicked the man. Li Xiaozhu subconsciously dodged, picked up the plate on the table and threw it on the man.

Hongxiu showed panic, and hurriedly protected Li Xiaozhu behind him, and couldn't help but regret why he didn't bring more guards in.

Qin Yi's moves were fierce, and the man was already at a disadvantage before receiving two moves, and retreated again and again.

"Who are you!" Li Xiaozhu said with a dark face and poked his neck.

After a good trip out of the palace, he was actually assassinated!Hearing Qin Yi's dying appearance when he was assassinated a few days ago, he couldn't help feeling annoyed in his heart, wishing he could be arrested and interrogated.

Seeing this, the man didn't fight, but just smashed the furnishings in the room on the ground, making a piercing sound, arousing everyone's attention, then ran to the window and jumped down from the second floor, falling into the river below with a plop .

for a moment.The house returned to calm again. If it wasn't for the mess all over the floor reminding them that someone was assassinated just now, they would have thought it was a dream.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Hong Xiu watched Li Xiaozhu up and down in horror.

"It's okay." Li Xiaozhu waved his hand, signaling her to rest assured, and couldn't help but frown. The assassin was so strange, he seemed to be here to assassinate her, but he didn't seem to be.
Qin Yi frowned obviously did not expect that the assassin would run away so swiftly. He first glanced at Li Xiaozhu and felt relieved when he saw that she was safe and sound. Then he walked to the door quickly as if thinking of something, and kicked the door open. , and went to the private room next to him.

Gathered outside the door were onlookers who did not know what was going on.

"Hey? Qin Yi! Why are you going?" Li Xiaozhu thought he was out chasing the assassin, and followed behind him with a worried expression, shouting loudly.

"Oh, hello! What's wrong!" The shopkeeper of Zuixianlou came late, and exclaimed when he saw the mess all over the floor, his heart dripped with blood. The furnishings in this private room are all of great value. big!

Qin Yi pushed open the door of the next room, there was no one in the room, Qin Yi frowned and looked around, the building was already empty, but the teacup on the table was still warm, the person left from Hong Kong bank, it seems , he read it right.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaozhu followed behind, looking strangely at the empty room.

"It's okay. Let's go back first." After something like this happened, they were not in the mood to continue eating. It was not safe outside the palace, so it was better for him to send them back first.

"En." Li Xiaozhu nodded obediently, still holding the pear wood box tightly in her arms, feeling lingering in her heart, but fortunately she reacted quickly just now.

"Master, girl, are you all right?" The shopkeeper stood at the door, looking at him cautiously, just now he heard that the Zuixian Tower actually sneaked in to assassinate assassins, and he still pretended to be the second child, although they were fine, But those who come here late are either rich or noble, if something happens, he can't afford it.

When Qin Yi heard this, his face was gloomy, and he looked over indifferently, "Where are the people in this room?"

The shopkeeper paused, could it be that the people in this room are assassins?
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Er, who shook his head and said in a strange way, "It was still there just now, I don't know when it disappeared."

Qin Yi's face was cold, and he called his men to block the Zuixian Tower and search for suspicious persons nearby.

"I will enter the palace with you." Qin Yi looked at Li Xiaozhu with a serious expression.

"Oh, good." Li Xiaozhu nodded blankly, knowing that he must tell Gu Jingyao about this matter.

Although he was worried that his father would not let him leave the palace because of this, his face was so gloomy that he didn't dare to speak to him, he silently closed his mouth and followed behind him.

The carriage soon drove to the palace, Eleven had already led people to surround the Zuixian Tower, and searched for suspicious persons along the river.

In the palace, Li Xiaozhu took the maid back to the palace, Qin Yi went to Qinzheng Hall with a cold face and said nothing.

Gu Jingyao was sitting on the dragon chair dealing with the memorial. Recently, he had accumulated a lot of government affairs in order to accompany Qiu Yeli, and he had to go to Fengyi Palace to accompany her after finishing the processing.

"Your Majesty, General Qin has an urgent matter to see you!"

Jinzhong stepped forward quickly and spoke in a steady voice.

Gu Jingyao frowned, put down the memorial, and looked up, "Qin Yi? Let him in."

"Yes!" Jin Zhong left in response, and soon, Qin Yi walked in and bowed to salute, "The last general Qin Yi sees His Majesty!"

"Mianli, what's the matter with General Qin?" Gu Jingyao looked at him in a steady voice and asked with a frown.

Qin Yi had nothing to hide, and roughly told what happened. When he heard that the assassin almost hurt Li Xiaozhu, he was shocked and angry. After confirming that Li Xiaozhu was safe and sound, he asked with anger, "Did anyone be caught?" ?”

"Returning to Your Majesty, the last general has sent people to surround the Zuixian Tower to investigate suspicious people. However, this assassin does not seem to want to assassinate, but seems to have to do it." Qin Yi said in a steady voice, expressing his guess .

Gu Jingyao didn't speak, and thought for a moment, "You mean, that person is Gu Jingcheng, who sent someone to assassinate Zhu'er because he was afraid of being discovered?"

"Perhaps the assassination of the princess is just a cover, and the truth is to deceive others. When the general returns, that person has already left." Qin Yi lowered his head.

"Send someone to search the vicinity of Zuixianlou, and interrogate the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou's second elder brother, and don't let anyone go!"

Gu Jingyao frowned slightly, and spoke in a steady voice.

"Yes!" Qin Yi bowed respectfully and stepped back. Gu Jingcheng hadn't been found for a day, and everyone was in panic for a day, and now they must follow the clues to find him!
In the princess palace.

Thinking about the scene just now, Li Xiaozhu just felt disappointed, and finally begged his father to leave the palace, but was distracted by the good manners, and never went to Zuixianlou again!
"Your Highness, you were shocked just now, drink some ginseng tea to calm yourself!" Hongxiu walked in, put the teacup on the table thoughtfully, and said with concern.
