Chapter 237 He dared to set his sights on Yun Qingshi. He was looking for death.

"What!?" Xiao Lixuan's eyes widened at the sound. The next moment, he hurriedly stood up from the stool, walked over to Liu Wenbo, grabbed his collar and asked, "Are you saying that the guard wasn't just an ordinary guard, but Xiao Jiwu's favorite?"

Hearing this, Liu Wenbo looked at Xiao Lixuan and nodded with certainty: "Yes."

Xiao Lixuan immediately asked again: "Are you sure about this?"

Liu Wenbo replied again: "I am 90% sure that my guess is correct. Those two are definitely not innocent."

Hearing this, Xiao Lixuan let go of Liu Wenbo and nodded to himself, "Okay, okay, okay. If that's the case, I'll go to the palace tonight and report this to my father! He's a prince, but he's openly keeping a concubine. How can he put the reputation of the royal family in such a bad light? My father will definitely punish him severely. I wonder how he can continue to be so arrogant!"

Raising a pet is not a big deal, but if Xiao Jiwu did such a thing, everything would be different. His father has always looked down on that disaster star.

What's more, his father still believes that Xiao Jiwu was responsible for the incident with Xiao Jinchen that day, and he has not yet let go of his anger.

Then this matter will not be easily revealed, and Xiao Jiwu will be deeply hurt!

Xiao Lixuan continued angrily, "My eldest and second brothers are both disabled now. How dare Xiao Jiwu, the son of a deposed concubine, fight with me?"

"As for that guard, my father will definitely sentence him to death. This will be a way for me to vent my anger!"

Even if Liu Wenbo guessed wrong in the end, he had nothing to worry about. His father would not do anything to him anyway. Now that his eldest brother and second brother had no chance of succeeding to the throne, he was the one with the most hope.

Seeing this, Liu Wenbo also congratulated repeatedly: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness, this move will surely suppress Prince Yi, and Your Highness's status will be further improved!"

Hearing this, Xiao Lixuan seemed to have seen the scene of himself being valued by his father, and he couldn't help but say happily: "Well said, if this is successful, there will be a huge reward!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenbai was immediately delighted and wanted to express his gratitude, but before he could open his mouth, Xiao Lixuan's voice came again above his head.

Xiao Lixuan said viciously, "But if you guess wrong, you will die as an apology."

Liu Wenbai was also nervous, but wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If this matter succeeded, everyone would prosper, and he could also move to a higher level.

Liu Wenbo quickly replied respectfully: "Yes."

At this time, outside the study, Yingba was horrified when he heard this and no longer cared about waiting for the opportunity.

He immediately took a few steps back without making a sound, then quietly used his lightness skills to quickly disappear in the yard.

Fortunately, this was outside the palace and there were no patrolling guards around. The few guards who were there were of average skill, so no one noticed his movements.

After walking a little further away from the yard, Ying Ba blew the bone whistle to transmit the signal. When the messenger appeared, he handed the written note to the other party and then hurried back to the yard where Xiao Lixuan was.

Fortunately, Xiao Lixuan was still in the study, planning with Liu Wenbo, and hadn't noticed his departure...

————

About two hours later, Xiao Jiwu and Yun Qingshi were stopped by Ying San on horseback as they were returning home slowly after viewing the peach blossoms.

Ying Yi immediately appeared upon seeing this and asked, "Ying San, what's going on?"

If there is no emergency, the secret guard will not act without orders. Knowing this, Ying Yi's face became serious.

Ying Twelve also landed nervously and stood beside Ying One.

In the carriage, Yun Qingshi originally thought that he had encountered another assassin or robber. After hearing Yingyi's question, he curiously lifted the curtain and looked out.

Ying San quickly handed the note he had hidden in his arms to Ying Yi: "This is the news Ying Ba sent back. The situation is urgent, and I have no choice but to stop the car."

Ying's face darkened when he heard this. After taking the note, he quickly returned to the carriage and presented the item to Xiao Jiwu: "Master."

Xiao Jiwu slowly reached out and took it.

Yun Qingshi leaned over curiously to take a look: "Hurry up and take a look at what's written. Is the Fourth Prince going to cause trouble?"

Xiao Jiwu found it funny and couldn't help but curl his lips. Then, after he unfolded the note and saw the handwriting on the paper clearly, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.

There was only a few words on the paper.

"The Fourth Prince is suspicious and intends to go to the palace tonight to report the matter between the Master and Eleven."

He is looking for death.

He hadn't planned to deal with Xiao Lixuan so quickly, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so eager to die and actually set his sights on Yun Qingshi...

Yun Qingshi had obviously seen the news as well, and his expression changed from curiosity to worry: "Awu..."

Unexpectedly, the thing he had been worried about finally happened.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Jiwu immediately came back to his senses and squeezed the boy's palm to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

Xiao Jiwu then calmly directed his order towards the carriage, "Ying Yi, Ying San, the two of you will immediately head outside the moat and set up an ambush at the point where Qi'an Gate must pass. Make Xiao Lixuan fall into the river, and then find a chance to give this medicine to Ying Ba. He knows what to do."

After saying that, Xiao Jiwu placed a delicate porcelain bottle the size of a fingertip into Yingyi's hand.

"Yes." Time was urgent, so Ying Yi took the porcelain bottle and quickly took orders and left with Ying San.

Yun Qingshi was still worried at first, but when he saw Xiao Jiwu arranged everything so calmly, he was not so nervous anymore.

He was now curious about what was in the porcelain bottle that Xiao Jiwu gave to Yingyi. Could it be poison?

Confused, he couldn't help but ask, "Awu, what is that?"

Xiao Jiwu slowly refolded the note and replied in a deep voice, "It's a drug that causes dementia."

Yun Qingshi:!!!

Yun Qingshi was shocked when he heard this. No wonder Xiao Jiwu didn't just let Yingyi and the others kill them directly, but instead wanted to create an accident.

But......

Yun Qingshi tried to hold back but couldn't help asking again, "Why do you carry this medicine with you?"

Prince Xiao rubbed the young man's head and replied, "I was originally planning to give it to the other two, but I didn't expect Fourth Brother to be so anxious, so I had to give it to him first."

Ah, so it was to avenge the last assassination by Prince Su and Prince Rui. That makes sense. Yun Qingshi nodded in understanding.

Yun Qingshi then frowned and spoke softly: "But how did the Fourth Prince know that we..."

Xiao Jiwu already had the answer in his mind. He said, "It was the person who followed him today. My fourth brother has always been reckless and has no strategy. If he had known earlier, he would not have waited until today, and Yingba would not have sent such a urgent message back."

After hearing what Xiao Jiwu said, Yun Qingshi thought about it for a while and quickly recalled some details.

Indeed, that person's eyesight was problematic today...

I just hope that Ying Yi and Ying San can complete the mission successfully and that the emperor won't notice anything unusual.
