drag prince

Chapter 26

Since Jian Lirong agreed to stay in Qingxin Palace, she won't be able to return home in a short period of time, let alone go to the brothel every day after going to court to have fun and get drunk.Although it is not difficult for Jian Lirong to accompany the Queen Mother for a walk and eat, and to please the Queen Mother.But restraining the queen mother is only an expedient measure after all. The important thing is to let Camellia step out of the background and bravely declare to the queen mother: I am the emperor's only man!Cough cough cough!So explicit!Let's put it in a more euphemistic way, so as not to scare the camellia.Well, all in all, the person who unties the bell must tie the bell. Before convincing the Queen Mother, you must first convince Camellia.Therefore, Jian Lirong asked Xuan Yuan to quietly bring the camellia into the palace.

Of course, just getting into the palace is not enough, in order to relieve future depression, Jian Lirong even made use of Camellia's guilt for having to disguise himself as a woman to keep Camellia staying with him in the palace.If this matter is not settled, you and I don't even think about going out of the palace.

"It's very boring being trapped in this golden birdcage. Thankfully, brother Zi'an came to accompany me." Jian Lirong combed Camellia's hair carefully, and the joy in her voice made it hard to interrupt.

Camellia hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking: "Then... that... Xiao Rong..."

"Ok?"

"This... why is this?"

"Xiao Rong is doing makeup and hair for brother Zi'an." Jian Lirong answered very simply.

"This..." Camellia looked at the delicate makeup reflected in the mirror and didn't have the heart to praise Jian Lirong's superb makeup skills.

"What's the matter, brother Zi'an? Isn't it good-looking?" Jian Lirong put her head on Camellia's shoulder and asked.

"Good-looking is good-looking...but...but no matter how you look at it, it's a woman's makeup..."

"That's right, it's a woman's makeup." Jian Lirong looked at the camellia in the mirror, no matter how she looked, she was satisfied.

"Why do you paint women's makeup?"

"Naturally, I'm going to dress up as a man like me."

"Ah? Why?" Camellia felt a little powerless to answer every question he asked as a matter of course.

"I'm now the lady of the Phoenix Peng family. If the news of living in the same room with a strange man reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, wouldn't all my previous efforts be for naught?" Jian Lirong said the reason openly, as if that was the case, but the truth of the matter The truth is that he just wanted to see Camellia in women's clothing.If you think about the size of the palace, as long as you don't show it around, no one will find out if there are one extra person. Besides, as long as the servants of Qingxin Palace give orders, no one will deliberately go to the Queen Mother to inform.

Camellia, who didn't know Jian Lirong's thoughts, was persuaded: "Well...you're right..."

"Just make sense! Come on, brother Zi'an, let's go change our clothes!" Jian Lirong pulled Camellia up from the dressing table and pushed him behind the screen.

Dressing up as a woman is nothing to Jian Lirong at all, and if Camellia is forced to dress up as a woman, she really doesn't have the slightest thought of revenge to punish her in the same way.When I first met Camellia, I thought that if Camellia played cosplay, she would be absolutely beautiful.No, as soon as the image of women's clothing comes out, it's like a fairy coming down to earth.He couldn't help but began to look forward to Xuanyuan's reaction when he saw the camellia.

"Okay, let's go to the front hall. Brother Huang and Brother Yu will come later."

"Huh?! Don't!" Upon hearing that Xuanyuan and the others were coming, Camellia shook her hands quickly, expressing that she must never show others like this.

"Don't be shy. During the period of living in the palace, I naturally met with the emperor's brother. Let him take a good look at it. He will definitely like it. Isn't there an old saying like this?" An ugly woman must meet her father-in-law', not to mention my elder brother Zi'an is so beautiful!"

"Don't! Don't force me!" Camellia desperately resisted holding the red lacquered pillar.

"Brother Zi'an, let go! The pillar is about to be toppled by you! You're going to die, just obediently follow me!"

"No, you let go!"

The tug-of-war between Jian Lirong and Camellia was still going on for a long time, but Xuan Yuan and Yu Longtian appeared together.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing." Jian Lirong heard the words and let go of the camellia, raising her hands to show her innocence.

Xuan Yuan stepped forward and pulled the camellia off the pillar, looking at the shy beauty in his arms, his heart tightened: "It's so beautiful... If it wasn't for the voice, I almost didn't recognize it!"

"Even you!" Camellia bit her lips and complained, but it only had the opposite effect, Xuan Yuan couldn't bear to leave him even for a moment.

Automatically ignoring the lingering relationship between the two, Yu Longtian looked at Jian who was itchy all over without playing tricks, and Jian looked away, whistling and looking at the sky.

Jian Li looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't bear the sweet atmosphere where Xuan Yuan and Camellia held hands and looked at each other affectionately.Gritting his teeth and cruelly interrupting the lingering relationship between the two, he called them to sit down in the lobby.

After Jian Lirong poured tea for everyone, she immediately got to the point, and asked Yu Longtian, "What important clue did you say you found yesterday?"

"Actually, when I left Phoenix City, I asked Zhang Shiwei to stay behind to track down the origin of the black-clothed killer..."

"Speaking of which, I did not see Zhang Zhanqiu on the way back."

"Yeah." Yu Longtian continued to say, "The men in black who assassinated were gangs of killers who 'take people's money and eliminate disasters for others' in the Jianghu. After Zhang Shiwei found the killer's lair, he learned from the captured prisoners that he was hired Theirs is Prince Ling."

"What? It's the emperor's uncle?" Xuan Yuan looked surprised.

"Prince Ling?" Jane Lirong naturally didn't know such a person, so she could only guess his identity from the address.

"Prince Ling is my father's younger brother, that is, my uncle. Since my father came to the throne, he has been living in the fief outside the Great Wall in the northwest. Although I rarely meet and get along with the emperor's uncle, it doesn't seem like the emperor's uncle would do such a thing. People who do things."

"Beyond the Great Wall? That means it's far away from the capital?"

"Yes, near the border."

"Then did you follow the clues given by the killer to find Prince Ling's whereabouts?"

"No." Yu Longtian shook his head, "Prince Ling didn't come in person outside the Great Wall, and only sent killers to lurk in the imperial city for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor."

"That's strange. If you've been hiding for a long time, you shouldn't know the face of the current Holy Majesty, right?" Jian Lirong muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "Prince Ling wants to seek power and usurp the throne?"

"This is the most likely explanation."

"Then don't care about whether Prince Ling is the mastermind behind the scenes and how to deal with Prince Ling. Before that, the inner ghost must be eliminated."

"How do you say that?" Xuan Yuan asked.

"We just decided on a whim and made a hasty tour of micro-services. Not many people know about it. So there must be people who tipped off the news." It's not that he looks down on the slow flow of information in the ancients, but simply thinks that there are no mobile phones and no Internet. It is really not easy to command a killer to assassinate from thousands of miles away.

"Well, it's true that not many people know about it. I quietly left the palace because the dragon's body was ill and I didn't go to court early. I only told the prime minister that if I have important matters while I'm not in the palace, I will handle them on my behalf."

"Only told the prime minister?" Jian Lirong asked suspiciously.

"Yes, except for the servants around me, I only told the prime minister, not even my mother." Xuan Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "Could it be that the prime minister has secretly joined forces with the emperor's uncle, thinking that I am not suitable to be emperor, Do you want to kill the king and rebel?"

"It's still too early to draw conclusions. It's not certain whether the ghost is the prime minister. Furthermore, because of the previous captivity incident, our return trip was brought forward. It took only ten days from the trip to the assassination. Arranging such a well-planned assassination operation in such a short period of time is almost impossible for Prince Ling who is far away on the border. If the prince is really outside the Great Wall, there must be someone who can not only grasp our information but also command the assassin to assassinate Commander. Nowadays, the existence of this person is more important and dangerous than Prince Ling."

After hearing Jian Lirong's logical analysis, everyone looked at each other with admiration.Obviously, it is not yet possible to think of who this leader will be.

"This person is either in our team, or he has been following us the whole time." Jian Lirong continued, "The assassination operation has failed, and the other party also knows that we are investigating them, so they may die."

"It's really scary that there are spies by Brother Bi's side." Camellia looked at Xuanyuan worriedly.

"Don't worry, we'll find out and get rid of the root soon." A cold light flashed in Xuan Yuan's eyes.He is not afraid of danger coming towards him, but he will never tolerate hurting the people around him because of this.

After discussion, the investigation of the assassination incident decided to start with the people around who knew about Weifu's tour.
