The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 309 The Heart's Reliance, False Becomes True! (4)
Chu Qing's stunned appearance succeeded in pleasing Zhao Shenghao, he lowered his head, and lightly pecked Yanhong's small mouth.Cai reluctantly suppressed the ripples in his heart amidst Chu Qing's shameful and annoyed expression.

"Since you have the Assassin League in your hands, those who assassinated you should have disappeared without a trace." Containing the wonder in her heart, Chu Qing asked curiously.

Zhao Shenghao paused, pursed his lips, changed the subject and asked, "When I left An Ning, I gave you a jade pendant, why don't you see it wearing it?"

Chu Qing remembered that when Zhao Shenghao gave her the purple jade carved with dragons, at that time, she only thought it was a parting gift and didn't take it to heart. When Zhao Shenghao proposed it, her heart suddenly moved, and she asked: " What does the jade pendant represent?" After she finished speaking, she thought of Zhao Shenghao's brothels in Anning, could it be that they were all peripheral forces of the assassination alliance.

Zhao Shenghao smiled slightly, and replied: "Remember to go back and wear the jade by your side. The jade pendant is a token of the assassination alliance. Any member of the assassination alliance, seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the king."

Chu Qing was dumbfounded, she never thought that the little jade pendant would actually hide such a secret.

Suddenly, she had a feeling of guarding the treasure without knowing it.Presumably, both Jiujiu and Duandao were members of the Assassin League, who were sent by Zhao Shenghao to protect her.

Zhao Shenghao ignored Chu Qing's shock, but continued: "There are two jade pendants in the world, one dragon and one phoenix. The dragon pendant is in your hands, and the phoenix is ​​in my hands. If it wasn't for me, one jade pendant can only mobilize half of it. The resources of the Assassin League can only be fully mobilized when both jade pendants are displayed at the same time. Do you remember, Qinger?"

Uh……

Chu Qing was still shocked by the news and couldn't finish digesting it.Hearing Zhao Shenghao's voice, he just nodded dumbly.

She really didn't expect that back then, Zhao Shenghao would give such an important thing to herself.Fortunately, I put it in the Gold and Silver Building and did not throw it away, otherwise...

Immediately, Chu Qing shivered, feeling lucky: Fortunately, he didn't do anything stupid.Thinking about that year, she also felt that the purple jade was valuable and it was a gift from a friend, so she kept it.

Suddenly, she came to her senses, her eyes widened, she looked at Zhao Shenghao and said, "You almost changed the subject, you haven't told me yet, how is your investigation? Who is going to kill you?"

Zhao Shenghao turned his head away, with a struggling expression on his face, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Qing'er, there are some things, it's not good for you to know."

"Between you and me, is it still like this now?" Chu Qing knew that Zhao Shenghao didn't want her to worry, but since she accepted Zhao Shenghao, she wouldn't let him take care of everything by himself.

Zhao Shenghao remained silent, his expression didn't change at all, it seemed that he didn't intend to speak out what was in his heart.

Chu Qing sighed lightly, thinking, is it really like this?Fortunately, I was prepared.

She took down a jade hairpin from her bun and handed it to Zhao Shenghao: "Do you still remember what this is?"

Zhao Shenghao's eyes fell on Yuchai, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Chu Qing in shock.He naturally remembered what it was. This was the jade hairpin he gave after he promised to clarify the three conditions. Each jade hairpin represented a condition that he had to fulfill.

Before, Chu Qing had already used one, but he didn't expect that at this moment, she would take out the second one.

"Qing'er, why are you doing this?" Zhao Shenghao took the jade hairpin in his hand and played with it between his fingers, with a complicated expression on his face.

Chu Qing looked at him seriously, and held his face with both hands: "I am not a soft woman, I can accept your protection, why can't you accept my help?"

Zhao Shenghao put his hands on Chu Qing's, pulled her into his arms, let her head rest on his shoulders, and hugged her gently like this.

"Okay, I said."

It turned out that it wasn't that Zhao Shenghao hadn't investigated, on the contrary, he had investigated many things.However, the closer he was to the truth, the less he wanted to investigate further.

Because, all the evidence points to the members of the royal family.

This result was both within his expectations and beyond his expectations.He knew that the people who could assassinate him would only be members of the royal family, but he didn't understand why the other party would do this.

In the end, the black hand behind the scenes has almost locked on the third prince Zhao Shenggao.

However, Zhao Shenghao, who values ​​friendship more than anything else, finds it hard to believe why his cousin would want to kill him.He used to love Zhao Shenggao because of his frailty and sickness.

Unexpectedly, the person who wanted to kill him all this time was actually this cousin.

At that time, Zhao Shenghao wanted to know the reason behind it very much, so he sent people to investigate frantically.However, when more and more members of the royal family were involved, he faintly discovered something was wrong.Especially when the current emperor and the second prince Zhao Shengqian were also involved, he suddenly ordered to stop all investigations.

A voice in his heart told him that perhaps the truth was not what he wanted.Perhaps the truth will overturn the entire dynasty.

From then on, relying on his own skills, he escaped from danger again and again, treating everything as a game, and he also understood more clearly what his father said before his death, I hope he is a dude, then no one will stare at him , he can live in peace.

Because, his father and king understand him, and his heart is not in the court, but in the rivers and lakes.

"You guessed it right, Zhao Shenggao is really just torturing me, at least for now, he doesn't want me to die. Although I didn't continue to investigate, I also know that he has great ambitions, and he is also eyeing the throne of Nanchu. It's just these, yes I don't want to care about the fight between their princes."

Zhao Shenghao hugged Chu Qing even tighter, he closed his eyes, and murmured: "Originally, I thought that after the wedding, I would leave the capital and live the life I wanted to be with you. But I never thought that he would never let go. If this is the case, then I don't have to bear it any longer. I will let him pay the price for provoking me."

The eyes opened, shooting out like a real cold light.

"Why did Zhao Shenggao torture you?" Chu Qing was puzzled.

Zhao Shenghao smiled slightly, pulled the two of them apart, and looked at Jiaoyan who was close at hand: "Leave these things to me, and you can do your own thing with peace of mind. The wedding is coming soon, and you still have the Chu family in your hands." If you didn't clean up, you still have your own arrangements, so don't worry about me. This time it was just my carelessness, and now it's not easy to hurt me again. "

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shenghao burst out with strong self-confidence and an invincible momentum.

Looking at him, Chu Qing knew that Zhao Shenghao's family affection for Zhao Shenggao had been exhausted, and he would no longer be patient with him because of blood family affection. This undoubtedly reassured Chu Qing a lot.

Tapping her jaw lightly, Chu Qing did not refuse, she did have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with.In the royal family's battle, at present, she can't help.
