At night, the stars are bright, the autumn wind is rustling, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

An Xin stood in front of the window, looking at the hazy scenery outside, concentrating quietly, "One, two, three, four, five... nine, ten"

I could hear the faint sounds of at least ten people hiding in various places in the yard.

A cold smile appeared at the corners of An Xin's pale pink lips.

It seems that Si Han really values ​​her. Even the secret guards who are monitoring her are several times more than those in the yard for other people.

She was really flattered.

An Xin touched his chin and thought for a while.

I feel that I don’t need to accept Sihan’s special care.

So he walked out of the room and came to the yard, bent down and fiddled in the flower bed for a while, and when he stood up, he had a dozen stones in his hand.

He muttered, "There are too many people in the yard, and the breathing is too loud. It's making me unable to sleep..."

Then he threw the stones in his hand casually into the yard, at several large trees with lush branches and leaves, and at the hidden and dark corners under the eaves of the houses and corridors.

Then I heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

After throwing the stones in his hand, An Xin patted the dust off his hands, glanced at the secret guards who fell down and pretended to be dead on the spot, smiled, and turned back to the room.

At this time, those who were lying on the ground and were hit to death were not only blushing with shame because they were discovered, but also angry because they were hit with stones.

They rubbed their heads that were hit by stones and looked at each other. It was so embarrassing that they quickly got up and left this courtyard that brought shame to their careers.

An Xin didn't care how Si Han felt or how big the psychological trauma was when he found out that the secret guards she had arranged to monitor her were all wiped out by her.

Instead, she handed a secret letter she had written after returning from dinner to Long Yi, who was sent by Kong Xun to secretly protect her, and asked him to instruct his subordinates to deliver it to Daqian quickly.

Si Han not only invited her, the minister of Daqian, but also invited envoys from various countries, whose identities and abilities were very important in their own countries.

Thinking of the hot weapons that Xiao Wenrou could take out and Si Han's great ambition, An Xin could guess with his toes that they were going to cause trouble.

Fortunately, when she passed by Jibei, she told Yuchi Yi and Gao Tai to pay more attention to the movements of the Beiming Cangbei garrison, hoping that things were not as she guessed.

…

Over here in the Beiming Palace, a faint fragrance rises from the quaint and exquisite incense burner.

Si Han sat on a chair carved with dragon patterns, looking gloomily at the leader of the secret guards who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

Even though the opponent's martial arts skills were not weak, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat under the pressure of Si Han, the superior.

"Go down and receive your punishment."

The secret guard's eyes narrowed, heaved a sigh of relief, and retreated silently.

Si Han rubbed his forehead. He had seen how An Xin killed people.

When he saw the bump on the secret guard’s head, he knew that An Xin was showing mercy.

Judging from his skills in Nanyu, if she really wanted to kill these people, they would probably not only be left with a red and swollen bump on their heads, but also a fatal bloody hole.

Si Han smiled awkwardly and forced himself to suppress his thoughts.

After that, he no longer sent people to monitor An Xin. At the same time, he also withdrew all the secret guards who were monitoring Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou. He just didn't want to really anger An Xin, this living devil.

In order to prevent her from getting unhappy and not giving him face anymore, she would just kill all the secret guards left in her yard.

When those secret guards were withdrawn.

He also brought back a pot of tea for Si Han and three dishes that the embassy had prepared for An Xin and the others.

Si Han looked at the tea and dishes in front of him and learned that An Xin had captured two of the secret guards when they were evacuating and asked them to bring them back.

He thought of something and asked someone to try it with silver needles. When he saw that the silver needles did not change color, a hint of doubt flashed in Si Han's eyes.

He knew that since An Xin was highly valued by the old emperor, he must not be a person who acted without purpose. There must be something wrong with these dishes and tea.

Si Han said gloomily, "Go get a cat or a chicken and feed them these things."

"Yes." The eunuch beside him took the order and left.

Soon, he went to the imperial kitchen to find two chickens, and gave the two chickens the tea and dishes that An Xin had asked him to bring back. Just as he put two chopsticks in, the two chickens kicked their legs and died.

This shows how powerful the poison inside is.

Si Han looked at the scene in front of him, his face terribly gloomy.

Of course he knew that An Xin didn't really want them to bring these two dishes back for him to eat.

Si Han is the crown prince who is about to ascend the throne and become the emperor of Beiming. How could An Xin not know that the food he eats and drinks must not only be tested for poison with silver needles, but also tested by specialized people before being consumed.

Rather than saying that An Xin asked the secret guards to bring the tea and food back for him to eat, it would be more accurate to say that she was accusing someone of trying to poison them in this way.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Both Si Han and An Xin guessed who was the person who could bribe the people in the embassy to do this to them.

That person was able to commit murder by hiring someone when he was in Daqian, let alone now that she has been deliberately pampered and indulged by me, and has become so arrogant and domineering that she is courting death.

Si Han's eyes darkened and he suppressed his violent mood.

That person was so useful that no matter what she did, he could not really take her life before he squeezed her dry.

…

An Xin looked at the gold, silver, jewelry, silks, and some rare treasures sent from the Beiming Palace, smiled, and let Leng Xiangbai accept them without refusing.

Wait until the palace maid who delivered the gifts leaves.

General Gao looked at these inexplicably sent treasures and asked in confusion: "What does this Bei Ming's soon-to-be successor to the throne mean?"

When An Xin saw General Gao's silly look, he thought of Gao Tai who sometimes had a similar expression, and his eyes softened.

He raised his chin and glanced at General Chen.

General Chen got the hint, and then he patted General Gao on the shoulder and answered him: "Do you remember the dishes that the headmaster suddenly put away when we were having dinner a few days ago? And the tea that the servants of the embassy brought that day was also promptly put back into a teapot by the headmaster."

"You mean~" General Gao opened his eyes wide, and surprise appeared in his round eyes like a big tiger.

An Xin nodded at him, confirming his guess.

"These things are what the person who poisoned us used as compensation to silence us because he didn't want to deal with the murderer."

"Son of a bitch, this is his attitude towards foreign envoys," General Gao said in a rough voice, cursing, "He wants us to help him conceal this and poison the envoys. He is dreaming."

An Xin gave General Chen another helpless look.

General Chen shook his head. He understood what was in An Xin's eyes.

No, she didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter.

But this happened on someone else's territory, someone else's home turf. If they don't say anything, they can't produce solid evidence to point out the murderer.

Even if they produced evidence, Si Han, the real controller of Bei Ming, wanted to protect someone, but they were doing unnecessary things and it would be futile.
