Hu Xiaotian looked at Quan De'an coldly. In this matter, Quan De'an undoubtedly violated his promise just now. He said that as long as Qi Qi was cured, he could let Xi Yan go and give her a way to live. Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
It's just nonsense to cover yourself up.
Quan De'an's expression also looked quite helpless. Some things were beyond his control. Even he could see that there must be something fishy in this matter. Xiyan might not be the one who poisoned him, but the matter had now alarmed the emperor.
It's not something he can control anymore.
Hu Xiaotian slowly came to Murong Zhan and blocked his way.
Murong Zhan's silver eyes stared at Hu Xiaotian coldly and said, "Master Hu, you want to stop me?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Everything must have rules. Since Commander Murong said he came under the emperor's order, is there an imperial edict?"
A sneer appeared on Murong Zhan's lips: "If Mr. Hu doesn't believe it, just follow me to verify it in front of the emperor."
Hu Xiaotian stood proudly on the spot with no intention of retreating. A pair of bright eyes burst out with a murderous aura: "It's not that I don't believe in the emperor, it's that I don't believe in you. If I hand the prisoner into your hands, I'm afraid she will die if she meets the emperor."
."
Murong Zhan's hand slowly fell on the hilt of the sword: "Master Hu, I am acting under the emperor's order, please don't make things difficult for me."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "This matter is related to the safety of the princess. I must investigate it myself. I will not hand over the prisoner to anyone until I find out the real culprit behind it."
Murong Zhan's pale hand grasped the hilt of the sword tightly: "Master Hu, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone knows what Commander Murong wants to do. You just need to reply to the emperor. I will take on any responsibility."
Murong Zhan chuckled and said, "Are you going to take the responsibility? I'm afraid you can't take it." The smile on his face suddenly faded, and he shouted sternly: "Come here! Take the prisoner away from me!" More than ten guards from behind him came to Hu Xiaotian.
Surrounded.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and looked around the group of guards. Wherever he looked, the guards all avoided his murderous gaze. These guards were all Murong Zhan's cronies and the only ones left after this personnel change. Most of them worked with Hu Xiaotian.
However, how could they not know who Hu Xiaotian was? No one wanted to offend Hu Xiaotian. They all knew they couldn't afford to offend him, but as a bodyguard, they had to obey the orders of their immediate superiors, so they were caught in a dilemma.
Hu Xiaotian said disdainfully: "Why do you need to embarrass my brother? If you want to take the prisoner away, you might as well step on my body." Instead of retreating, he took a step forward, and powerful internal energy rose from the sea of dantian.
, instantly filled his meridians, and an invisible pressure spread from his body, making everyone around him choke.
Quan De'an sighed and said: "Two adults, we are all ministers of the same palace, why should we turn against each other just because of one person's crime?"
Murong Zhan sneered and said: "Okay! Let me teach you Mr. Hu's clever tricks!" He slowly pulled out the rapier from his waist with his right hand. The rapier was only exposed for an inch, and the murderous aura spread to the surrounding area of 10 feet. The guards behind him
They all retreated, and Murong Zhan said word by word: "I failed to resist the decree and despised the imperial court. It's too late for Mr. Hu to regret it now."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The only one who has the qualifications to convict me is the emperor. You? You are not good enough!" What Murong Zhan did today has aroused the anger in Hu Xiaotian's heart. This person's position is unclear. He has ulterior motives. If Xi Yan is handed over to him,
In his hands, Hu Xiaotian could not take risks with Xi Yan's life.
Seeing that the war was about to break out, a slight coughing sound was heard in the distance, but it was Princess Yongyang Qiqi who walked out with the support of two palace maids. Her face was still a little pale, and her body was obviously not fully recovered.
When everyone saw Princess Yongyang coming, they hurriedly saluted. Hu Xiaotian and Murong Zhan also gave up their plans to take action.
Qi Qi looked at Murong Zhan coldly with a pair of clear eyes and said: "Commander Murong, why did you bring so many people and put up such a big formation to come to my place?"
Murong Zhan said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have come here to take away the assassin on the emperor's order." He glanced at Hu Xiaotian and said, "But Mr. Hu is determined not to allow it."
Qiqi turned to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Why are you not allowed?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There must be someone else behind the killer. I am not at ease with Commander Murong. Just outside Chuxiu Palace, if I had not stopped him in time, the killer would have died under his sword. If the killer had died, I
There is no antidote at all, let alone a smooth detoxification for the princess." Hu Xiaotian said this very rudely, and it was tantamount to openly accusing Murong Zhan of wanting to kill people and silence him, and almost indirectly killed Qi Qi.
Murong Zhan said with a gloomy face: "There is no need to accuse me. Is Mr. Hu doubting me?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "In short, I will not hand her over to someone who cannot escape suspicion. Your Majesty believes in you, but I don't believe you!"
"you!"
Qiqi sighed and said: "Before the matter was investigated, our own people started fighting first. Accusing each other will not help. Since this matter started because of me, then I must investigate clearly, Commander Murong."
"Wei Chen is here!"
Qiqi glanced at him calmly and said, "I won't worry about things here. You'd better patrol the palace more when you have time, and don't let any more killers sneak in."
Murong Zhan was speechless. Hu Xiaotian stopped him. He could still compete, but now that Princess Yongyang came forward in person, he couldn't openly fall out with Princess Yongyang under the banner of the emperor, so he could only give up temporarily.
Murong Zhan said: "Your Highness Princess, I have a few words to say to you alone."
Hu Xiaotian said aside: "The princess's poisonous wound has not yet healed. If you have anything to say, please leave it to another day!" He hated Murong Zhan in his heart. In the past, he had shown mercy to Murong Zhan for the sake of Murong Feiyan, but he did not expect that he would harbor evil intentions.
Judging from the fact that he wanted to eradicate Xi Yan today, this person must have other goals.
Qiqi glanced at Hu Xiaotian with annoyance and whispered: "I'll see Commander Murong off."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Seeing Qiqi and Murong Zhan's group leaving, Quan De'an breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan is such a trustworthy person!"
Of course, Quan De'an could hear the sarcasm in his words, and he coughed awkwardly and said: "Mr. Hu, our family just promised to give her a way to live, and never said that we would let her go. Our family doesn't have the ability, let alone
Such courage."
Hu Xiaotian was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and whispered: "I'll go in and take a look."
Quan De'an wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Hu Xiaotian just put his hand on the door, but heard Qiqi's cold voice from behind: "You really care about her!"
Hu Xiaotian stopped moving forward. He didn't expect Qiqi to come back so soon, but he didn't know what Murong Zhan had said to her at this moment. He turned around and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's windy outside, and your wounds haven't healed yet."
, it’s better to go and rest, let me take care of the things here.”
Qiqi smiled, her smile indescribably cold. She walked slowly to the door, opened it and walked in.
Hu Xiaotian secretly screamed that something was wrong. Although he kept Xi Yan by his side, it was still unclear what Qiqi's motive was. He hurriedly followed in. Quan De'an shook his head and followed suit.
Two palace maids moved a chair and asked Qi Qi to sit down. Qi Qi sat there and waved her hands gently. One of the palace maids lit a candle and came close to Xiyan to illuminate her face. Xiyan looked at her fearlessly.
.
Qiqi looked at it for a long time before saying: "Sure enough, you are born in a beautiful country. No wonder some people are fascinated by you and are willing to risk their lives to protect you." When she said this, her beautiful eyes glanced at Hu Xiaotian intentionally or unintentionally.
One glance.
Hu Xiaotian's scalp was numb. It seemed that things were getting more and more troublesome. He knew Qiqi's temperament very well. He was ruthless and ruthless. If she believed that Xi Yan had an entanglement with him, he didn't know what kind of cold-blooded measures she would take. And from now on
Jealousy could clearly be heard in her voice. If this woman was jealous, she would do any crazy thing. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian shuddered.
Qiqi said: "Tell me, why are you plotting against me?"
Xi Yan smiled calmly and said: "If I want to harm you, why should I save you?"
Qiqi said: "Maybe you are afraid, maybe you want to use this method to save your own life, maybe you do this for some people."
Xi Yan said: "If I save you, you will still die. If I don't save you, you will still die. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to let this delicate and precious princess like you die together?"
Qiqi said coldly: "What a powerful mouth. It seems that you won't tell the truth without giving you some power. Come on!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Your Highness, you'd better go back and rest. I'll take care of it here."
Qiqi smiled at him: "Why do you have the nerve to always worry about me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It should be."
Qiqi stretched out her hand to hold Hu Xiaotian's big hand, and gently put her pretty face on the back of his hand. She looked at Xiyan with a pair of beautiful eyes full of pride. When Xiyan saw the scene in front of her, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously
Biting her cherry lips.
Hu Xiaotian knew that Qiqi was deliberately stimulating Xiyan with such an intimate gesture. Thinking of everything Xiyan had done for him, and now being stimulated by Qiqi like this, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, and said softly: "You have just recovered from the poison."
, it’s better to go back and rest, Eunuch Quan..."
"What? Are you in a hurry to drive me away? Do you still have something to say with her?"
Qiqi held Hu Xiaotian's big hand tightly, but the temperature of her palm gradually cooled down, and she looked at Hu Xiaotian coldly with her beautiful eyes.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yes! The reason why she agreed to save you is because I agreed to her conditions and I agreed to let her go, so she gave me the Black Ice Clam."
Qiqi chuckled and said, "Are you going to let her go?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yes!"
Qiqi suddenly shook off Hu Xiaotian's hand, stood up, stared at Hu Xiaotian with stern eyes and said: "Eunuch Quan, kill her!"
