Chapter 278 Gu Yuanbai’s Complaint

The man in black moved quickly. He had probably stepped on it a long time ago. In a short time, he disappeared into the crowd.

"My lord, we have already sent someone to chase you."

Liufeng stepped forward to report.

Xiao Shengyu nodded slightly and looked at King An, who was still lying limply on the ground, "Can the sixth brother still get up?"

"Can...can."

King An's voice trembled, and he was helped up by his men.

Zhao Mingyan walked to Xiao Shengyu and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin."

"I just troubled Miss Zhao."

"It's not troublesome. It's just that those men in black are really brave to do something to the prince in public."

Zhao Mingyan pursed her lips and looked a little solemn.

What happened to the prince was no small matter.

And if Xiao Shengyu hadn't taken action in time, King An's life might have been lost.

"Third brother, thank you very much for today."

King An's feet were trembling, but he didn't forget to thank Xiao Shengyu.

Soon, the boat docked at the shore, and King An was put into a carriage by his men and returned to the palace first.

Su Leyun stepped forward and took Zhao Mingyan's arm. He saw that the clothes on her forearm had been cut by a knife, and blood was pouring from the wound.

"It's just a minor injury, don't worry."

Zhao Mingyan comforted her.

What she suffered on the battlefield was much more serious than what she suffered now.

"What if it's poisonous?" Su Leyun said in a serious tone, "It's better to go to the medical clinic first."

"No way?"

Zhao Mingyan was stunned. She didn't feel anything, so she shouldn't have been poisoned.

But seeing Su Leyun's worried expression, he still agreed.

"Your Highness, let's leave first."

Zhao Mingyan was respectful to Xiao Shengyu.

Xiao Shengyu nodded, "Miss Zhao's injury is more important."

"Dan Qi, do you want to leave?"

Zhao Mingyan glanced at Situ Danqi, who waved his hand and said, "You go ahead. I have something to do, so I won't be with you."

Seeing this, Su Leyun and Zhao Mingyan looked at each other, turned and left without thinking much.

But Situ Danqi's voice came from behind, "Xiao Shengyu, your skills are indeed good. No wonder you can defeat that Yu Hualin."

The farther you go, the less you can hear the sound.

I accompanied Zhao Mingyan to the hospital to bandage the wound. The wound was indeed not poisonous, but a little deep.

"Don't touch the water or use force in the past few days to prevent the wound from opening."

After the doctor bandaged it, he gave instructions.

Zhao Mingyan agreed repeatedly and left the hospital with Su Leyun.

"I don't know who those men in black are, but they actually assassinated the prince."

Listening to Zhao Mingyan's muttering, Su Leyun narrowed his eyes and said, "Prince An and the others should be able to investigate this matter."

"That too."

"I'll send my sister back first."

Zhao Mingyan looked at the blood stains on her body and knew that it was not good to walk around outside like this, so she did not reject Su Leyun's proposal.

After sending Zhao Mingyan to Zhao Mansion, Su Leyun left.

Cuiliu and Lianxin were still frightened, they did not expect to encounter such a thing.

But seeing Su Leyun's serious expression, the two of them did not dare to say anything.

Jin Palace.

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and have lost track of me."

The guard knelt in front of Xiao Shengyu and apologized.

Surprise flashed across Liufeng's eyes. There were not many people who could be thrown away by An Yi.

The martial arts of those men in black are not very high, but their anti-reconnaissance capabilities are not weak.

"Go and receive your punishment yourself."

Xiao Shengyu spoke calmly, opened the lid of the tea, and took a sip.

"yes."

An Yi didn't dare to hesitate and retreated.

Liufeng noticed Xiao Shengyu's expression and said, "Master, should the people from Yuelou investigate this matter?"

"No need, those are Xi tribe members."

"Xi Clan..."

Liufeng was startled, very surprised.

Isn’t the master’s biological mother a member of the Xi tribe?

This is obviously no coincidence.

Since the Queen passed away many years ago, the Xi people have disappeared and reappeared many years later. It is not a small matter.

What's more, those few people dared to assassinate King An today.

It's just that he can't understand why the Xi people want An Wang?

"Old Xiao!"

Gu Yuanbai's loud voice sounded in Prince Jin's Mansion.

Then, people broke in.

"Mr. Gu."

Liufeng bowed and retreated.

Gu Yuanbai stepped forward and slapped Xiao Shengyu on the shoulder, "Today you have to have a good drink with me. I even called Su Ye."

"Did you quarrel with Mr. Gu again?"

Xiao Shengyu stood up and walked to the table.

Obviously, he is very familiar with this situation.

As soon as Gu Yuanbai heard the word "Master Gu", he snorted heavily, "The old man in my family is so crazy that he doesn't want me to go to Hanlin Academy, and he plans to ask the emperor to send me out for training. This is not sincerity. Torture me?"

"I heard that Li Laohanlin will resign soon."

Xiao Shengyu put his pen down on the paper and wrote slowly.

"What does that have to do with me..."

Gu Yuanbai's voice gradually became lower. He was not stupid. Xiao Shengyu had reminded him like this. How could he not understand.

Once Li Laohanlin steps down, there will be no one else but his father to succeed the Hanlin bachelor.

If he entered the Hanlin Academy at this time, people would gossip about him.

Although the Hanlin Academy has no real power, it has many scholars.

There are many people who want to win over.

"Then there's no need for me to go that far to Jingzhou, right? It's not like you don't know that place. It's very desolate." Gu Yuanbai changed the subject as he said it, "I don't know how Sister Leyun survived in a place like that for fifteen years." The year is really miserable."

"What did you say?"

Su Ye walked over, vaguely heard Gu Yuanbai mention Su Leyun, and asked subconsciously.

The two brothers, Gu Yuanbai, stepped forward, put their arms around Su Ye, put their hands on his shoulders and said, "Brother Su, when is sister Leyun's birthday, so I can prepare a gift for her."

"You are more intimate than me." Su Ye pretended to be impatient and pushed Gu Yuanbai away, "I'm warning you, don't have any thoughts about my sister."

"Oh, I regard her as my sister, so it's a bit hurtful for you to say that!"

Gu Yuanbai held his heart delicately and complained.

Su Ye knew that his best friend didn't have that intention for his sister, but strangely enough, Gu Yuanbai didn't care so much about Su Waner before.

Is it possible that there really is some fate involved?

"Yun'er's birthday is in May, so there's still some time left."

"That's good, it's not too late."

Gu Yuanbai nodded.

But neither of them noticed Xiao Shengyu's dark eyes.

An assassin assassinated King An. This matter quickly reached the ears of Emperor Jianwen. Such a thing could happen under the emperor's feet. Emperor Jianwen was naturally furious and ordered King Jin to investigate closely. At the same time, he asked the Forbidden Army to assist King Jin.

King An was injured and had to complain to Emperor Jianwen. It was a blessing in disguise and he got a lot of good things.

From the surface, it seems that the atmosphere in the palace is quite harmonious.

But in fact, the assassination of King An was a switch.

The battle for the inheritance has begun.
