Qilonghuang retracted her hand, and her posture became more upright. She said seriously: "This is not a deal, nor is it forced."

"I will do what I said before. Again, I hope you will help me."

Su Yan took the initiative to change the topic, "Since you are willing to admit your mistake, let's continue the unfinished topic."

"How much do you know about what happened to the Su family back then? Who do you think is the most likely murderer?"

"I know a lot, but I'm missing the most core clues," Qilonghuang frowned slightly when she talked about this matter, tapping her fingers lightly on the table.

"As for the suspected target, I did plan to wait for you to come to Zhaojun Li's house and put pressure on them to see if I could force the person behind the scenes to come out."

"But now I have changed my mind. You are better than I thought. You are a person who can become a chess player, not a chess piece. So let's change the plan."

"If you believe me, be patient and let's wait for an opportunity."

"The time is limited to three months. If I still can't give you a satisfactory answer after three months, then we will operate on Li first, and you will do it, and the Great Chu Dynasty will endorse it for you."

"When the time comes, you will have a legitimate reason. Even if the Li family is completely killed, others will not dare to refuse."

Su Yan sighed a little, this is the advantage of cooperating with the official, it is still killing people, and the previous scruples are directly eliminated.

There is only one remaining question:

"What if we kill the Li family but still can't find the murderer?"

Hearing Su Yan's question, Qilonghuang smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate me. I have been pursuing this matter for more than twenty years. These three months are the last time to close the net. Maybe it won't even take that long."

Soon, we will gain something, I promise you."

Seeing the empress' confident tone, Su Yan nodded, "Then I'll listen to you. I'll wait for the opportunity you mentioned before I act."

"But before that, what do I need to do?"

Qilonghuang reached out and held Su Yan's hand, "Come into the palace to discuss world affairs with me?"

"Anyway, you can do whatever you like, whether it's romance, playing chess or drinking. During this period, you will see some people's desperate struggle. Of course, I will watch it with you."

Su Yan was a little uncomfortable with the empress's excessive initiative. Her hands were warm and delicate, with a touch of body temperature. Just being held by her made it easy for people to imagine

Wait! Su Yan suddenly realized, wasn't Qilonghuang teasing him?

Obviously, this person does not think that she is a vulnerable group. She will take the initiative to ask for whatever she likes. Obviously, she now has the intention to regard Su Yan as her prey.

When Su Yan came back to his senses, he immediately broke Qilonghuang's hand off politely. He didn't want to be married back to the palace to become the queen by His Majesty.

Qilonghuang wasn't angry either, she just looked at Su Yan with a smile.

Su Yan coughed and greeted Lianyue and the others: "Come over and sit down, order whatever you like."

Seeing this, Qilonghuang also directed his two subordinates to come and sit down together.

Since the top floor of Phoenix Tower is an open building with ventilation on all sides, it can be considered a public place.

Therefore, the small actions Qilonghuang made here have actually caught the attention of some caring people.

Not everyone is like Ming Yun and can directly see through Qi Longhuang's disguise, but Shen Wushang and Xu Yan both know each other.

These two close ministers around the empress were hanging out with a "man" they had never seen before, who looked like a troublemaker; then who this man was was easy to guess.

When the spies from all sides saw this scene, their inner thoughts were actually more shocked than other emotions.

Because Qilonghuang has always behaved badly with men since she came to the throne. It stands to reason that no one dares to say anything if she recruits three thousand faces and opens a huge harem.

After all, the emperor asked her to become the emperor, so this matter can only be regarded as a minor detail.

But Qilonghuang has never been close to any man, which even made the civil and military officials in the court feel worried.

Because in this era, if the emperor has no heir, once something goes wrong, it will be a big earthquake for the political situation.

Once a coup occurs, the cards will be reshuffled, and many people do not want their existing interests to be harmed.

Therefore, since ancient times, ministers have not objected to the emperor marrying more women. As long as it does not delay state affairs, it is naturally better to have more children and more happiness.

Many people expected Qilonghuang to change, but when she actually changed, people felt a little incredible for a while, especially because the identity of the other party was very special.

This makes people wonder that the current empress is not unfavorable to men. As long as her standards and requirements are too high, ordinary people will simply not be able to catch her eye.

While sitting down, Lianyue looked at Su Yan's hand and remembered something. Her mood suddenly became a little depressed, and she was no longer as cheerful as before.

Xu Yan was very wary of Su Yan, but now that His Majesty was sitting with him, the Xu Ge leader could not step forward to separate them forcefully, so he had to sit as close to them as possible.

When the remaining two people were seated and before ordering, Su Yan suddenly heard a crisp metal knocking sound. This sound came from the lively streets below, and it had a vague sense of familiarity.

Su Yan subconsciously looked down through the railing and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest carrying a square wooden box turning the corner and walking towards the bustling crowd.

While tapping the clapper in his hand, he shouted: "Grind the mirror, grind the mirror."

Huh? Su Yan couldn't help but be very surprised. It was the mirror-grinding Taoist priest he had met in Hangzhou.

This back figure, this voice, and this "frightening" sound, he promised that he did not admit it wrong, it was definitely the same person.

Has the other party also come to Luoyang? What a coincidence

Wait! Su Yan suddenly realized something was wrong. Today was the second day after he arrived in Luoyang. How could the mirror-grinding Taoist priest come here so quickly??

Unless he can fly too.

After realizing this, Su Yan immediately stood up, but in the short period of time he was thinking about it, Taoist Mojing had disappeared completely into the crowd.

Moreover, when Su Yan swept his consciousness in that direction, he found no trace of the other party at all.

This means that he has either gone far away, or has hidden his body shape and aura.

Others at the table were a little confused when they saw Su Yan standing up suddenly. Looking in the direction he was looking, everything was normal, and there was no suspicious person or abnormal situation.

"What did you see?" Qilonghuang asked curiously.

When Shen Wushang saw this, he communicated with the Dongchang spy who was hiding in the dark to prevent himself from being careless and not noticing the situation outside.

As a result, the secret agents found no clues either, so they could only report the truth.

Even the master of Mingyun Zhai secretly sent a message to Su Yan and asked, "Bodhisattva, what happened?"

Su Yan was so surprised at this moment that even Mingyun didn't notice that a mirror-grinding Taoist priest suddenly disappeared while walking?

Or maybe I was just hallucinating for a moment.
