Chapter 217 Action Cancellation
Concubine Yuan's elder brother is a confidant of her father Yuan Jiang. He grew up in Yuan Mansion since he was a child and has a deep love for Concubine Yuan.

It's a pity that Concubine Yuan is still married to a man he can't compete with, so as long as he can stay by Concubine Yuan's side, he will be satisfied.Because of his strong martial arts and intelligence, Concubine Yuan kept him by her side to help her. Over the years, this eldest brother has secretly helped Concubine Yuan solve a lot of troubles.

"Sister, don't worry, it's not the best time yet, it only makes sense for us to do it if Hui'er can deal with the prince, and wait."

Concubine Yuan waited for a long time but did not see any news from Situ.

"Brother, will there be any accidents, I am very worried about Hui'er's safety now."

"Sister, don't worry that Hui'er is a smart man, he knows how to protect himself."

While the two were talking, the secret door of the study opened, and Concubine Yuan and her brother ran over one after another.

"Your Majesty, the plan has failed. The fourth prince asked me to report that today's action will be cancelled."

Concubine Yuan was furious and slapped the person who came in on the face.

"Useless trash."

"Sister, don't panic. The green hills left behind are not afraid of lack of firewood. The most important thing now is not to leave any traces. If the emperor knows that someone has assassinated the prince, he will definitely be furious."

"Then let the men sent by father leave quickly. We don't have to worry about leaving any evidence of crime. I don't know how Hui'er will deal with those dead men."

The man in black looked at Concubine Yuan, thinking about his fate, whether he would be killed like all the dead.

Just as Concubine Yuan was thinking of swinging her sword at him, the people at the side stopped her.

"Now is the time to employ people, so save his life and be useful in the future."

"But he knows all our plans of action."

"It's okay, send him to the base camp outside the city, no one will find him, there are all our own people there, the security is tight, there will be no problems"

The dead are in a hurry.

"I beg your mother to let the younger one go. My loyalty to my mother can be learned from the moon, and I will never betray my mother. I don't want to die unjustly, and I don't want to die like this. Please forgive me, empress."

Concubine Yuan thought about it and thought it was right.

"Okay, let's take your life for now."

"Brother, please send him out, leave the palace to me, and I can take care of it."

Tao Mo was asking the soldiers at the door when the prince came out. Tao Mo was worried about his husband and saluted when he saw the prince.

"I disturbed my younger siblings. Don't worry too much. The seventh brother's martial arts skills will be fine. Today he still impresses me. Do younger brothers and sisters know that the seventh brother's martial arts skills are strong?"

Only then did Tao Mo realize that he hadn't saluted yet. There was something in the prince's words. Could it be that the husband's martial arts were really exposed? Now is not the time to think too much, so he has to interrupt the prince's temptation.

"I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me. I just paid my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince because I was worried that the Seventh Prince would not salute."

How could the prince not know that Tao Mo wanted to interrupt his questioning? From this, she knew that the seventh brother's martial arts were so good. He felt that Tao Mo in front of him had a certain sense of mystery. My younger brother didn't have the ambition to covet his seat, but he couldn't convince himself.Why did he hide the matter of the seventh brother's martial arts from everyone, and the three forces that just appeared must be related to the seventh brother, Situ Yin, you are really hiding it.It can be seen that the prince has doubted Situ Yin.

Somehow, Xiaolu appeared in front of Tao Mo.

"Miss, is the Seventh Prince okay?"

"The prince said that he is fine, and went to chase the assassin."

Xiaolu is Tao Mo's personal servant girl, so naturally the prince would not suspect her.

"His Royal Highness, since it is safe, the younger siblings will not be disturbed. The younger siblings have to go home and cook for the husband until he returns safely."

The prince felt that such a thing is not appropriate for a woman to be here.

"Don't worry, brother and sister, go back quickly. I will let the seventh brother go home as soon as possible when he comes back."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

After saying that, Tao Mo left. When she heard that her husband was fine, her heart finally eased.

Xiaolu followed behind her, and Tao Mo asked Xiaolu after she had gone far away.

"How is the situation in the palace?"

"Miss, rest assured that everything in the palace is normal. Concubine Yuan didn't dare to do anything when she knew that the prince was not dead. Our people all evacuated safely without leaving any traces. Also, the information just came that the seventh prince was not injured. It's safe, we don't need to meet him." Tao Mo knew that Concubine Yuan would not stop there, her husband had been exposed, and she would face greater danger in the future, but with her around, no one was allowed to touch her.

And in the palace at this time.

"What, someone dared to assassinate my prince, I want to kill his nine clans" the emperor angrily reprimanded his subordinates.

"Go and pass on Eunuch Hai to me."

The eunuch on the side hurried out, not daring to delay for a moment, for fear of losing his head.

The queen is the only woman the emperor loves among all the women in his life. However, the beauty is so unlucky. The queen left early, leaving behind a child like the prince. The emperor dotes on him even more, and the prince is also very competitive. He has a lot of attainments, and he is very similar to him in every aspect. His throne can only be taken over by him. Although Concubine Yuan makes frequent moves, he thinks that his emperor will solve these problems without his intervention.

A few years ago, the emperor discovered that Concubine Yuan was wooing various forces behind her back, but because Concubine Yuan's father Yuan Jiang's face was not exposed, Concubine Yuan became more and more lawless. Death had nothing to do with her, because the country was facing a war at that time, and Concubine Yuan's father held military power in his hands, so the emperor did not continue to investigate that matter.

In recent years, Concubine Yuan's father has been stationed at the frontier and holds important military power. The emperor can't cut off this power directly, so he will tolerate it for now, but he must eliminate this power before the crown prince ascends the throne, paving the way for the prince.

The eunuch came in.

"Report to the emperor, Eunuch Hai is waiting outside the door."

"Announce him in."

"Whoo."

"Eunuch Xuanhai."

After Eunuch Hai came in, the emperor asked everyone around him to retreat.

"Is there no news from the Dark Pavilion? The crown prince was almost assassinated. Do you need to reorganize your organization?"

The Dark Pavilion is a secret organization established by the emperor since he ascended the throne. The intelligence network is wider than Tao Mo's. The power that appeared a few years ago was deeply in his heart, and he was unable to find out any news about this power. This was a great regret in his ruling career.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We know the prince's itinerary today, and we secretly sent someone to protect him. Because it was the third prince and the fourth prince who invited their brothers, so we didn't go into it. We didn't expect such a thing to happen. The minister deserves death. .”

"Since this cannot be entirely the responsibility of the secret cabinet, I let the secret cabinet collect information, but the safety of the crown prince is also a matter of the secret cabinet, and you have an inescapable responsibility."

"I am willing to accept any punishment, but today I have to thank the Seventh Prince. He is the one who protected His Highness the Crown Prince. Without him, our people would not be able to protect the Crown Prince. We did not take any action."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Hai in surprise.

"Yin'er is born weak, how can he protect the prince, I think it is the prince who protects him, he was protected by the prince when he was a child, it is impossible!" The emperor shook his head while talking.

"The old minister has absolutely no intention of deceiving the emperor. This was seen by the people in the dark pavilion in secret, and everyone who went with him saw it. The seventh prince has high martial arts skills, and he is definitely not an ordinary generation. What is strange is that the Dark Palace and the Purple Building appeared at the same time, they seem to be on the side of the prince, and the prince was saved by them."

The emperor was puzzled now.

"You, let the Dark Pavilion check it out for me. Check it carefully. I have to figure out what the Dark Palace and the Purple Building are from, whether they are enemies or friends."

What Eunuch Hai said made the emperor suspicious of Situ Yin.

"Go back and tell the dark pavilion to act according to my orders, and let the princes see me."

Situ Fei knew that although Concubine Yuan and Situ Hui trusted him, they always regarded him as an outsider, and such actions were hidden from him, but Du En did not send any news.

Of the three princes who went out to chase the assassin, Situ Hui came back first. After he made all the dead soldiers commit suicide, he came back feeling that there was nothing exposed.

"Brother Huang, the younger brother is incompetent and failed to catch the assassin."

The prince was a little skeptical of his words, but he pretended to understand and said, "Fourth brother, don't blame yourself, this fire man is too treacherous, you can't deal with it."

Hearing what the prince said, Situ Hui felt secretly refreshed, this silly prince.

How could the crown prince not have noticed that something was wrong with Situ Hui? He didn't say that he just had to wait for the future so as not to startle the snake.

Situ Fei came back next.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother chased after a man in black."

Hearing what he said, Situ Hui became nervous. He didn't clean up the good people, so he might be exposed.

When Situ Fei was talking, he deliberately glanced at Situ Hui. Situ Hui avoided his gaze. It turned out that he really did it, and it seemed that he was also his opponent. However, he was still sure of dealing with Situ Hui. As for the crown prince , he was not sure whether he could compete with it, but Situ Yin, he hadn't thought of it at all.

"Where is that person?" the prince asked.

"My brother is incompetent. The man in black committed suicide the moment he was caught."

The prince felt that Situ Fei hadn't lied, so he didn't ask further.

"Didn't you see the seventh brother? He went out the first time and hasn't come back yet."

Both Situ Hui and Situ Fei said they hadn't seen it, and the prince pinned his hopes on Situ Yin, hoping that he would gain something.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Situ Yin still hadn't come back, the prince was in a hurry.

"Why hasn't the seventh brother come back? Nothing will happen!"

Situ Hui had the intention of sowing discord, "Seventh brother is so powerful in martial arts, we didn't know it before, he kept us in the dark, it seems that he is hiding it, I don't think anyone can beat him with his martial arts." How is he?"

The prince could hear that Situ Hui was implying something to him, but he didn't listen to it. He had to talk to Situ Yin first before looking at it, and his people haven't found anything yet, so don't draw conclusions lightly.
