Chapter 13; Danger?

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

The study room of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Guard Yan San stood respectfully by the side, his dark and rough face full of doubts.

Just now, he followed King Jin back to the capital from the Lu Family Farm on the outskirts of the city.

Halfway through, King Jin issued an order.

This made him feel extremely surprised.

King Jin turned to look at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Your decision this time is very inappropriate."

Yan San has followed King Jin for many years and has always been loyal. He has always followed all orders and decisions of King Jin unconditionally.

However, what did Prince Jin do this time that made his confidant speak out for the first time about something inappropriate?

Naturally, it was his secret help to Lu Yaoyao.

At the gate of the farm, King Jin gave Lu Yaoyao his jade pendant, which seemed a bit out of line for him.

Unexpectedly, he had not returned to the capital yet, so he ordered his men to keep an eye on the Xu family, and even left two Imperial Shadow Guards to protect them near the farm.

The Imperial Shadow Guard, that was the most powerful force in the hands of the late emperor.

When the late emperor was critically ill and on his deathbed, he handed over the Emperor's Shadow Guard hidden in his hand to the King of Jin.

As for why he was not given the throne, Yan San didn't know the details, but he knew very well that King Jin didn't want to be as idle as he appeared to be.

On the contrary, he is still a very strategic and resourceful person.

“Don’t just take everything at face value.”

"Miss Lu is not as simple as you think."

When he mentioned Lu Yaoyao, her image appeared in his mind involuntarily.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a slight arc.

When they met for the first time, he simply thought this girl was very interesting. Naturally, he wanted to have more contact with interesting people.

But in this second meeting today, he found that this girl was not only interesting, but also very powerful.

Although he is a prince, it is particularly difficult to live in a place like the capital.

To describe it as walking on thin ice is no exaggeration.

After all, so many brothers have fallen, and he can still survive. How could his scheming and ability be different?

He doesn't trust anyone, but he is the best at judging people.

He had seen Lu Yaoyao's facial expressions several times today.

For example, when he pointed out that Xu Wenwu's death was related to Queen Wang.

She discussed it with him very calmly.

In his words and deeds, he showed no respect for Queen Wang, the most noble woman in the world.

Even with a little bit of ridicule.

It's very abnormal for this kind of mentality to appear in a humble citizen like her.

Does she have no brain? No, in King Jin's opinion, this girl is very smart

So how does she do this?

The answer is self-evident. This girl has her own confidence. She can ignore the queen and even ignore the imperial power.

This was evident when she first saw herself today.

Facing him, the prince, Lu Yaoyao's behavior made him stunned at the first moment.

Apart from this, there was also the time later when he mentioned Xu Zhao's intention to marry Prince Yun.

At that moment, the fierceness in her eyes made him feel chilled.

The Xu family and the Gao family have always advanced and retreated as one, and they were joined by Prince Yun, who controlled the 50,000-strong military camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Even he has to be careful, she is a girl from a farm, why should she?

Combining these two points, he felt that Lu Yaoyao was extraordinary and gave him the jade pendant just so that he could have more opportunities to move around in the future.

The subsequent arrangements for people to monitor the Xu family and protect the farm were just to further deepen the relationship.

With a small investment, you might be able to get decent returns in the future.

However, Yan San was not very optimistic about Lu Yaoyao. If she was really powerful, how could she be abandoned by the Xu family?

Stay on the farm for ten years?

"My subordinates still feel that it is dangerous for you to do this. Let's not talk about the Xu family, but the Gao family is not a good person."

"If you don't do it right, it's very likely that our power will be exposed, and then your situation will be very dangerous."

Looking at Yan San who was a little anxious, King Jin acted very calmly and smiled softly.

"I have my own considerations, so you don't need to worry."

Danger?

Hasn't he faced too much in these years?

evening.

Just after reporting the news from the capital, Qiu Yu had a look of complaint and disappointment.

"I originally thought there would be a big show, but I didn't expect these two families."

"It's really disappointing."

Lu Yaoyao, who was sitting opposite her, was not disappointed at all, but instead had a faint smile.

The queen summoned the two ladies of the Xu family and the Gao family early in the morning.

Immediately, the Minister of Dali Temple was dismissed.

The Xu family and the Gao family fell silent after that, and other than telling the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple to continue tracking down the murderer, they did nothing else.

It seems that I have accepted the Queen’s explanation, but is this really the case?

Obviously it's not that simple.

If they really believed the Queen's explanation, they should have stepped up their efforts to investigate, instead of just throwing a few words at the Minister of Dali Temple.

There is nothing more than a compelling reason to act like this.

Although we did not see the two sides competing at this time, the two sides also became estranged after this incident.

The enemy of her enemy is her friend, so no matter how things turn out, as long as her side is not exposed, it will be very beneficial to her.

Killing Xu Wenwu did not cause any trouble for him, and also gave the Xu family and the Gao family a powerful enemy.

Why should she be disappointed?

It's not too late to be happy.

But after she was happy, she had to prepare for the next thing.

Xu Wenwu's matter is now settled.

Next, Xu Zhao and Gao's eyes may shift to her.

The people sent by the Gao family last time did not go back.

Things were just as she expected.

After being persuaded by her husband and elder brother, Gao suppressed the hatred of her son's death to the bottom of her heart.

The first thing that came to mind was Lu Yaoyao.

"How's that little bitch doing?"

Mrs. Gao leaned on the imperial concubine's couch with a tired expression, and glanced at Nanny Li beside her with a sinister gaze.

"The old slave has not received the message."

Hearing this, Mrs. Gao swept away her tired look and glared at Grandma Li fiercely.

"Trash, you can't handle even the smallest of things, so what's the use of you?"

Aunt Li knelt down.

"Madam, please calm down. I will arrange for someone to inquire."

In the past two days, because of Xu Wenwu's death, everyone's attention has been focused on it. As a confidant of the Gao family, Granny Li was naturally busy with it.

Mrs. Gao looked at Nanny Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and her anger softened slightly.

"Go down and make arrangements. I must see the little bitch's head tomorrow morning."

Aunt Li quickly responded, got up shakily and exited the room.

That night, two more black figures appeared outside the farm.

However, before they even entered the farm, someone wiped their necks.
