    Wei Lang was in charge, and said: "Princess, there are too many lotus in this pond, maybe they are blocked by stalks and roots, I will look for them later?"

    Yu Yan shook her head again, her eyes were unpredictable: "Since I haven't found it after searching for so long, I think it's destined to come, don't force it, just follow the fate."

    After hearing these words, everyone looked at each other and went ashore one after another.

    Yu Yan thoughtfully asked the servant to take them to wash, and entertained them with delicious food and drinks.

    Seeing their bustling appearance, Yu Yan seriously thought, maybe, it doesn't work if others go down, so she must go down in person?

    Sighing in my heart, does God have a grudge against her

    However, after various trials these days, Yu Yan's thoughts became more and more clear.

    If this passage exists, she can't find it when she goes down, and others can't find it when she goes down, then it means that the location is not wrong, but the timing is wrong.

    When she had an accident, it should be between late night and early morning, so it is very likely that the key point is here, and she needs to try again as it is.

    These days, the groundwork she has done has already yielded some results.

    As she became familiar with the servants and guards in the house, their guard against her also relaxed.  At night, only Bi Yuan was with her alone, and there were no other idlers waiting to guard her in the yard.

    Yu Yan kept that nightgown in the room all the time, all she had to wait for was for Bi Yuan to sleep soundly.

    The emperor was not in good health, and everyone was afraid that he would suffer too much. After offering sacrifices in the ancestral temple, the matter of sweeping the emperor's tomb was assigned to the heads of the princes.

    Xiao Huan was no exception. Two days later, he led a guard of honor and went to an imperial mausoleum to pay homage.

    The emperor's mausoleum is very far away from Luoyang, and it will take three days to visit and return.

    On the evening of the second day, after Xiao Huan had finished sweeping the imperial mausoleum, he was returning to the post house to rest, when an envoy suddenly came from Luoyang, saying that he had an urgent message.

    Xiao Huan took it apart and looked at it, and was surprised.

    That letter was sent by King Liang, saying that the emperor was seriously ill, and ordered Xiao Huan to return quickly.

    So Xiao Huan immediately left the guard of honor, and rode a fast horse back to Luoyang overnight with only his entourage.

    When they were in Shuofang, rapid marches at night were commonplace for Xiao Huan and the others, and it was the same for this trip.

    The sky was cloudless and the moon hung high. Everyone was experienced and could gallop on the road even without lighting a torch.

    Near midnight, halfway through the journey, a shadow of a valley suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking around, the trees became more and more dense in the night, and the mountain beams on both sides were towering, blocking the moonlight above the head.

    Xiao Huan watched and motioned for everyone to stop.

    The messenger who sent the letter didn't know why, so he asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

    Xiao Huan pointed to the forked road on the left side with his horsewhip: "Gu remember to go from here to avoid this valley."

    Li Tai listened and understood.

    This is Xiao Huan's habit.

    The terrain of the valley is an ideal place to set up an ambush.

    Even in the daytime, as long as one soldier is ambushed, one enemy can be defeated by one, and it is even more powerful at night.  Xiao Huan has been fighting abroad for many years, and he has already learned to be cautious. Even in a place far away from wars like the Central Plains, he will not make an exception easily.

    The people were about to go that way when the messenger said: "Your Highness, the road can be detoured, but this journey will add dozens of miles. The Holy Majesty is still waiting in the palace, and I am afraid it will delay the journey. The villain thinks  , although this valley is dark, it¡¯s okay to light a torch to illuminate it, after passing through it will be a smooth road, and you can reach Luoyang in the early morning!¡±

    Xiao Huan was unmoved, and said: "The city gate is not open, it doesn't matter if you are late, just take a detour."

    Everyone got the order, turned their horses around one after another, and went to the fork in the road.

    Unexpectedly at this moment, only hearing the sound of breaking through the sky, Xiao Huan's heart was agitated, and he instinctively leaned over to dodge, an arrow passed by his ear and hit the arm of a guard beside him.

    "There are assassins!" Li Tai shouted.

    Before the words finished, the messenger suddenly showed his knife and rushed towards Xiao Huan.

    At the same time, more than a dozen black shadows jumped out from the tall grass on the side of the road, and under the moonlight, the gloomy knife light passed by.

    Xiao Huan did not continue to dodge, but resisted the messenger's hand, took him with him, and fell off the horse together.

    His body is very flexible, and when he was in the air, he pushed back hard.  When it landed, there was only a muffled sound of broken bones, and the assassin had already broken his neck and collapsed to death.

    And all the guards under him have followed him in battle for many years, they are used to fighting, all of them are fierce and brave, and they are not afraid of such a scene."A moment later, Li Tai asked.

    Xiao Huan shook his head: "Everything else is watertight, but only the gold medal is shining, as if afraid that people won't see it."

    Li Tai suddenly understood why Xiao Huan decided not to report to the emperor for the time being, and demanded strict secrecy.  If the emperor finds out about this matter, the people on the side of the concubine will be implicated. Maybe the envoy has already arranged the next step to beat the people over there into remnants of their crimes and take the blame for it.

    "Your Highness, who do you think the main messenger is?" Li Tai asked.

    "Naturally, he feels that the military power in his hands is an eyesore, and at the same time, he also thinks that the princess is an eyesore." Xiao Huan said, "Lu Zhang is the Luoyang order now, isn't he?"

    Li Tai replied: "Exactly."

    Lu Zhang is Xiao Huan's former subordinate. He is bold, careful, and quite strategic. He was in charge of catching spies in the camp.  It's a pity that he was seriously injured three years ago and was crippled in one leg.  Shuofang's bitter cold was not suitable for recuperating, so he had to go back to the mainland, and Xiao Huan recommended him to the emperor to go to Luoyang to become the Luoyang Order.

    "Give over the physical evidence and living testimony to Lu Zhang." Xiao Huan said, "He knows how to do it."

    Li Tai responded and looked at Xiao Huan: "Next step, what is Your Highness planning?"

    "The assailant is obviously not afraid of making this matter worse." Xiao Huan sneered, "If I don't accept the move, it should be him who panics."
