Crying for the prince and having his mind read, I am the most favored harem!

Xiao Heng froze in place. For the first time, he heard someone say that they wanted to protect him. It was always others who sought his protection.

It was undeniable that even if Lin Qingran didn't say it directly, she just let him know through her heartfelt voice that Xiao Heng was happy now, and very happy.

It's just that Xiao Heng is not a person who likes to speak out about everything, so he looked away slightly uncomfortably.

"Shen Zhuo avoided people and left, and the Queen Mother also left soon after. The two were going in the same direction." Xiao Heng decisively changed the subject and revealed Shen Zhuo's whereabouts.

As expected, Lin Qingran's attention was immediately attracted, with a reaction as expected.

[There must be some connection between Shen Zhuo and the Queen Mother, but we still don’t know what it is. 】

[The appearance of Shen Zhuo today is inherently problematic, and it is even more problematic since he was personally invited by the Queen Mother. All the invitations were sent out by me. According to the regulations, Shen Zhuo's identity is not enough to attend this banquet. He still has no official position. 】

[Also these years, Shen Zhuo has not been in the capital at all. When did he get involved with the Queen Mother? 】

[Could the incident at the royal hunting ground have something to do with Shen Zhuo, but can his hand be stretched so long? 】

Lin Qingran's heart was very complicated, and all kinds of doubts were lingering in her heart, which could not be relieved at all. The more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, and her head hurt.

Xiao Heng listened quietly to Lin Qingran's inner analysis without disturbing her. Moreover, he found that Lin Qingran's thoughts were very similar to his. It seemed that they both thought of the same thing.

The person who arranged to inquire about the news has not returned yet, so now Xiao Heng does not know what is going on between Shen Zhuo and the Queen Mother.

Lin Qingran sighed, "Forget it, Your Highness, let's not dwell on this issue now. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid Shen Zhuo will make other moves in the near future, and the fox will Show your tail, and one day you will know what their plans are.”

"Yeah, okay." Xiao Heng nodded.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion all around, and a group of men in black poured in from nowhere. After these men in black appeared, the women around them screamed.

Lin Qingran and Xiao Heng looked at each other and saw the thoughts in each other's eyes. Then Lin Qingran stepped back and Xiao Heng stepped forward to meet him.

"Here comes someone, there is an assassin, hurry up and protect him!"

Fortunately, Queen Qi has returned to Kunning Palace now, so Emperor Kang Yuan doesn't need to worry here.

The man in black's martial arts was very high, but his target was not Emperor Kang Yuan, but a man sitting in the corner eating quietly.

Mu Qiutang avoided a long knife that was pointed at him, stood up quickly, raised his foot and kicked the man in black who was slashing at him. He kicked the man a long way away, but another knife came over.

At this moment, Xiao Wu rushed over from nowhere and immediately joined in to protect Mu Qiutang.

The Royal Forest Army also arrived in time to join them.

Xiao Heng did not take action. He protected Lin Qingran in front of him and killed the man in black who was accidentally kicked over.

After a while, the men in black were still defeated, leaving only two alive, and all the others were killed.

As for why the two people were left behind, that was what Lin Qingran said. She also planned to use the method she had used when Zhang Mingming framed Xiao Jin, which was to interrogate the two assassins separately.

Emperor Kang Yuan could tell at a glance that these people were not trying to assassinate him, but were targeting Mu Qiutang. As a proton of the Yun Kingdom, Mu Qiutang should not be able to hinder anyone.

It was not worthwhile no matter how he thought about entering the palace of Tianyuan Kingdom to assassinate him. I don’t know what happened, or whether Mu Qiutang did something else, escaped the eyes and ears of Tianyuan Kingdom, and delivered some news. Yunguo.

Now Mu Qiutang is an official in Tianyuan Kingdom, and he has entered the Hanlin Academy on the surface, but in fact he has no access to anything.

Whether Emperor Kang Yuan was conscious or other courtiers were unconscious, everyone excluded him and would not let him easily access important things.

So, why did Yun Guo go to such lengths to arrange for such a killer to assassinate Mu Qiutang?

When Emperor Kang Yuan was silent, others did not dare to speak, but everyone understood that today's assassination was aimed at Mu Qiutang, and everyone could not help but focus on Mu Qiutang.

Mu Qiutang still looked gentle. There was no emotion on his face. I didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

However, those who come to Tianyuan Kingdom to assassinate him must be the people closest to him, and no one else needs to do this.

"My dear, what do you think of today's events?" Emperor Kang Yuan asked Mu Qiutang directly.

Mu Qiutang bowed his hands and said, "Report to the Emperor, I don't know."

It is actually not difficult to understand Mu Qiutang's ignorance, because although he now appears to have entered the Hanlin Academy and is considered a courtier of the Tianyuan Kingdom, he actually still lives in the previous place. Emperor Kangyuan did not give him another Set up a house.

In other words, it was impossible for Emperor Kang Yuan to completely trust Mu Qiutang, so he was still monitoring him.

Emperor Kang Yuan took a deep look at Mu Qiutang, then turned away and looked at Xiao Heng, "What do you think, Prince?"

The entire banquet hall has calmed down. Everyone listened with bated breath to Emperor Kang Yuan's words. No one dared to say anything. After all, the only ones left now are the younger courtiers and family members. The older ones who were in poor health had already left long ago. to the palace.

No one noticed that King Jin'an and Princess Jin'an looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

It's really strange. They clearly had arrangements for the last two times, but each time they still failed to make a move and were overtaken by others. What on earth is going on?

Lin Qingran was standing diagonally across from the two of them, so she could clearly see the doubts on their faces.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran understood that the Jin'an King and his wife had no knowledge of today's events. It seemed that there was no push for the situation. It must have been the arrangement of the two of them.

"Reporting to my father, I think this matter needs further investigation," Xiao Heng said.

Emperor Kang Yuan pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to the prince for investigation. I'm tired, so I'll go and rest first. Let's just disperse. Everyone has almost eaten today's banquet."

"Farewell Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

As for whether Emperor Kang Yuan went to rest or to see Empress Qi, there was no need to ask, the answer was already obvious.

Looking at the direction Emperor Kang Yuan left, he went to Kunning Palace.

When Emperor Kang Yuan left, everyone else also left, and the only ones left were Lin Qingran, a few princes, Mu Feng, and Mu Qiutang. (End of chapter)
