    Princess Huaping was impatient. In her imagination, the assassination should be clean and tidy, with one blow, followed by panic and rumors, and her reputation would spread all over the world. But in fact, she had been waiting for two hours with nothing to do.  Daily life is even more boring.  "The princess must know where Prince Xiao is. Let's go and question her. I know where she lives." Shangguanru shook his head for the eleventh time and rejected the princess's plan. Every one of her plans was tantamount to frightening the snake. "If Prince Xiao really rebels,  , I won¡¯t tell the princess.¡± ¡°Then what should I do, continue to wait?¡± This is a house filled with clutter. The remaining space is very small and full of dust. It seems that no one has tidied it up for a long time.  , the princess used to hide here and play hide-and-seek when she was a child. She was quite impressed when she first came in, but now she just feels cramped, there is not even a place to sit, and it is overwhelming and suffocating.  "It's getting dark, do you still have to wait?" Shangguanru looked at the princess in surprise, and suddenly remembered that she was not the killer of Jinpeng Castle, "What we are waiting for is dark." "Yes, they say the dark moon kills people, I guess.  It¡¯s just to kill people when it¡¯s dark.¡± ¡°What, not to kill people?¡± Shangguan Ru patiently explained, ¡°It¡¯s more useful to capture King Xiao alive than to kill him. He has the Jinpeng Killer.  And many ministers" "Use Prince Xiao to kill them all." Shangguanru smiled, "I would also suggest that the princess make peace with Prince Xiao." "Peace? Prince Xiao assassinated the emperor and framed it for me.  This kind of person should be cut to pieces. " "If Prince Xiao really assassinated the emperor" "What if? You also saw the killer in the garden. What if?" "Okay, Prince Xiao assassinated the emperor.  "If the princess kills King Xiao, the crime of being a regicide will never be cleared. How to punish King Xiao should be decided by the new emperor." The princess frowned and looked at Shangguan Ru.  "You are different from what I imagined. Yes, what you said makes sense, but I didn't expect you to say such things." Shangguan Ru smiled slightly. Ten years ago, she would have hesitated.  Participate in the assassination without caring whether the other party deserves to die or not.  Six years ago, she would have refused the princess's invitation from the beginning. Now she has learned to think carefully and choose the plan that is most beneficial to herself.  "I believe that the princess thinks the same as me." The princess actually didn't think about anything. Her thoughts were all fascinated by the scene of the dagger piercing Prince Xiao's chest.  However, after Shangguan Ruyi reminded her, she quickly understood that today's action was not for fun. If she just killed King Xiao but did not gain power, she would still be a loser.  "Kidnap Prince Xiao." She said reluctantly, and immediately became happy again, "Prince Xiao is stalking the cicada. We are the oriole behind." It was finally dark outside, and the two walked out of the utility room, with the princess leading the way.  , looking for the whereabouts of Prince Xiao in the inner house.  The chaos outside the house also affected the female family members in the inner house. There were waiters running around everywhere. As a result, the princess and Shangguan did not receive any attention. They quickly came to the main room of the inner house, where the princess was sitting.  Open the door and listen to the maids reporting new news at the door.  The two of them mingled with the maid team and eavesdropped.  Prince Xiao¡¯s Mansion was directly threatened by riots. Hundreds of heroes gathered in the streets outside, asking Prince Xiao to speak out. After being rejected many times, they became more and more impatient.  "A group of weirdos appeared out of nowhere, holding strange knives. They started fighting with the thieves, and then the thieves insisted that the queen mother and princess were hiding in the palace and insisted that we hand them over," said a maid.  , she just heard the news from the servant in the front yard.  "Oops. Why are those two women in the palace? Why are they unreasonable? Where is His Highness Prince Xiao? Is he still missing?" The princess's voice came from inside. "No." The maid whispered, because this is not good.  According to the news, several messengers have been reprimanded or even beaten.  The princess was not in the mood now, and couldn't help complaining to Prince Xiao in public, "I left a whole family here, where did he go? Did he leave the house, or was he hiding in some bitch's room?" No one knows  No one dared to answer.  The princess dragged Shangguan Ru and left quietly. Then, in a roundabout way, she came to a small courtyard on the edge of the inner house. She whispered: "If Prince Xiao is still in the house, he must be hiding here. Here lives a pink-headed man he sold just last year."  , The princess doesn¡¯t know, and no one dares to tell her. "The princess has many eyes and ears, and those bearded people are not all useless people. Shangguan Ru is not surprised that she knows about Prince Xiao. What surprises her is that.  Another thing, "It's only a short distance away, Wang?Don¡¯t you know there are people living here?  " "This is called concealing the truth. The princess is old and has not left the house for several years. The people below can hide it if they can, and no one dares to offend Prince Xiao.  "The princess sounded disdainful, believing that no one under her would dare to hide it from her. "Prince Xiao is not here.  "After observing across the hospital, Shangguan Ru came to a conclusion. "How do you know?  " "There are no guards here. Prince Xiao will not be so careless.  " "Since you're here, let's go in and have a look. Maybe this is King Xiao's old suspicion array.  " Shangguan Ru agreed. In fact, what she had been looking for was Gu Shenwei. She guessed that he would come here, but so far she had not found any trace. " With Shangguan Ru's help, the princess jumped into the cross-yard, only the main room in the middle was  The light was shining through, and it was silent. It really didn't look like she was hiding anyone. The princess still didn't give up. She quietly touched the window and pierced the window paper to peek inside. Shangguan Ru was standing behind her, thinking that if Prince Xiao was really here, he would be here soon.  A group of guards should have appeared. The princess was stunned. She was confused at first, and then became furious. She stood up and walked a few steps without consulting Guan Ru. She pushed the door open and entered. Shangguan Ru was taken aback and hurriedly followed.  Go up and stand at the door to guard against a sneak attack. "Why are you here?"  "The princess asked angrily. The four women in the room looked up at the intruder in surprise. Of the four women, only the oldest one was sitting blankly at the table. The other three women were standing, and two of them were Ya  Huan, a woman with gorgeous clothes and beautiful appearance, looks to be seventeen or eighteen years old, probably the new "pintou" bought by Prince Xiao. The old woman snorted slightly, "You're here too.  " "It's different" The princess turned to Shangguan Ru and said, "Come and meet.  This is the most powerful woman in the Central Plains, the current empress dowager.  " Her tone was full of contempt and hatred. There was no reaction on the Queen Mother's face. She looked at Shangguan Ru at the door, thought for a while, and said, "Are you Shangguan Ru from the Biyu Kingdom in the Western Regions?  " There was no ambush outside. Shangguan Ru closed the door. He still stood at the door and said, "It's me.  The Queen Mother looked at Shangguan Ru, her interest seemed to have disappeared, and she said to the princess: "Are you here to kill me?"  " "I had no idea you were hiding here.  " "Then you are here to assassinate Prince Xiao. Hey, this is really Princess Huaping's style.  You have so many concubines, why are they willing to let you do such risky things?  " "My concubines are all obedient, who dares to interfere with my affairs?  "There was no shame on the princess's face, but she was proud, "God has eyes, I didn't find Prince Xiao, I found you.  Whatever way you like to die, I can satisfy you.  " The beautiful woman understood the identity of the intruder, stepped forward to say hello, and said respectfully: "Your Highness" "Shut up.  "The princess scolded, making the woman tremble in fright, "Stand aside.  "The woman was obedient. The two maids did not dare to say a word and stood aside. The Queen Mother smiled. "Princess Huaping has not changed her old nature. Do you think the late emperor is still protecting you?  " "Don't worry about me, think about who will protect you first.  " "No one protects me, and I don't need it. I am content.  " "Satisfied?  The emperor is dead, and you are locked up with a despicable woman. How can you be satisfied?  " The face of the gorgeous woman next to her blushed. Shangguan Ru was preparing, thinking that she could not let the princess kill the Queen Mother like this. There should be a better way to solve the matter. " The Queen Mother sighed longly and moved her eyes to the table  At this time, she was completely an ordinary old woman, without any palace aura from head to toe. "My son has grown up and can protect himself. What else should I be dissatisfied about?"  ?  "    "Are you crazy?  The emperor has died, and it was Prince Xiao who killed him, and the whole world knows it.  " "Haha, even you were kept in the dark by my prince, I am even more satisfied.  "The princess became angry from shame, but she had a bad temper, but she was not stupid at all. Suddenly many things came to her mind, and she fell into a daze. She walked to the table and sat opposite the Queen Mother. She lowered her head and thought for a long time, "The emperor really  not dead?  Prince Xiao is actually still working for the emperor?  Buthe was so cruel that he even killed his own son.  " "It was Prince Xiao who proposed it. He said that this son could do this for the emperor even if he had no knowledge or skills.  " "You already knew this?  "The princess raised her head, her tone less hostile. "Prince Xiao found someone who looked very similar to the emperor, but how could he hide it from me?  That's the son I gave birth to.  " "I see, so you knew from the beginning that the Dragon King was wronged,"??I can't believe itbut you just gave up?  " "The emperor is my son. Everything I have in my hands is meant to be left to him. If he has the ability to take it away, I will only be happy. How can I admit defeat?  Now I know that he can keep the throne on his own and no longer needs my help. I can be the Queen Mother with peace of mind.  " "Are you sure the emperor will let you continue to be the queen mother?  "The princess asked sarcastically. "Of course, I returned all the imperial seals to him, and he will keep me to show my filial piety to the world.  "The princess touched the dagger in her sleeve. If she failed miserably, she would take the Queen Mother to be buried with her. Shangguan Ru came over and asked directly: "Who hired Jinpengbao to massacre the Gu family?  "The princess looked at Shangguan Ru in surprise. She didn't expect that she was also interested in this matter. "Of course it's me" The Queen Mother smiled again, "The envoys sent by you and Yan Qin didn't work at all. Talents from the Western Regions don't.  He would assassinate an official in the Central Plains just because two people of unknown origin paid him to be my prince.  Ah, he was only six or seven years old at the time. I heard that I had an older brother and I had to get rid of him, so I had no choice but to agree.  But that was a mistake, it wasn't his brother at all, and we didn't find out the truth until later.  "
