All of the ministers' expressions did not change even when Mount Tai collapsed. No one was willing to speak.

Nangong Chen urged, "My dear officials. Everyone speak freely, we are the peacemakers, we can speak whatever you want. It doesn't matter. "It's okay."

The many ministers kept their mouths shut. No matter how enticed Nangong Chen was, they did not speak up.

In the end, Nangong Chen feigned helplessness as he sighed, "Since no one has any objections, then I shall show my appreciation to my beloved officials and submit to the will of the people to make Prince Xiu the crown prince!"

The other ministers knew that Nangong Chen had already made up their minds to make Nangong Xiu his Crown Prince. If they said anything else, they would only be asking for trouble. They all cheered for the Emperor.

Nangong Chen was satisfied and officially gave the imperial edict to make Nangong Xiu the crown prince. In order to avoid any unnecessary troubles, he gave the imperial edict to Beitang Ao for safekeeping. Three days later, on the day of his birth, the imperial edict would be officially announced to the world!

Now that the imperial edict had been passed down, even those ministers who harbored ill intentions would no longer have any hope. Even if the emperor himself were to say something, it was possible that he would go back on his words. However, once an imperial edict was issued, it would be difficult for even the emperor to go back on his words! Others didn't have much to do.

Ao Ling Tian said in his heart: "Humph! So what if an imperial edict had been issued? Nangong Xiu and his wife will die tonight. Even if they become the crown prince, they won't be able to enjoy it! "

Bing Ying opened the invitation card in her hand three or four times. She still couldn't understand why such a small invitation card would have such magic. Why did Nangong Xiu say that she had to go?

The invitation was signed by a snowflake.

Beautiful View walked over and exclaimed, "Esteemed wangfei, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" It would not be good if we were late! "

Ice said, "Beautiful. Why do all of you attach such importance to this small invitation card? "

"Princess Consort, do you not know the origins of this invitation card?"

Ice shook his head.

Beauty said: "The owner of this invitation is Miss Piao Xue! Miss Piao Xue is the daughter of the current Prime Minister, the Prime Minister of the imperial court, Lord Ao Gu, so the invitation she sent is not something that just anyone can receive! "

Bing Ying said, "Just a prime minister? "Is it really that impressive?"

Beauty said, "Princess, you don't know. "Every daughter of the famous officials' family in the capital hopes to receive an invitation from Miss Piao Xue!"

Bing Ying said, "Why?"

Beauty said, "Because not everyone is qualified to receive this invitation!

Bing Ying said, "What kind of people are qualified?"

"I'm just a servant girl," Beautiful Scene said. "I don't know much about it. But Princess Consort, your older sister and relatives have tried several times to attend their party, but Miss Piao Xue rejected them all! "

"You mean Beitang Bell?"

"Yes."

"Beitang Ling is an outstanding official family's daughter in the capital, and even in the entire kingdom. In terms of martial arts, perhaps not many girls could be a match for her. Why can't you even get in? "

"There is a circle within the capital, and it is filled with young ladies from noble and official families. These young ladies are not proud of their martial arts skills." "They are of superior birth and illustrious birth, and the blood of nobility flows through their veins …"

Bing Ying said, "So what?"

Beauty said, "They do not worship martial arts! Instead, he paid more attention to the girl's character, cultivation and knowledge! The third young miss of the Beitang Clan has always been hanging out in the martial arts world. Naturally, it did not belong to her low-key aristocratic style. Therefore, she had always been refused at the door! "

"Then why did someone suddenly send me an invitation?"

"I heard that they often take the initiative to invite some young noble or noble bride to their party. Esteemed wangfei, you're so outstanding, so they naturally came to curry favor with you!"

"Go!" You've learned how to flatter! "

"Hur hur." The beautiful scene smiled as it spoke. "Esteemed wangfei, it'll definitely be beneficial for you if you go to this gathering! There's no harm done!" It's an acknowledgement of one's status, identity, status, self-control and noble bloodline! "

Bing Ying said, "What did you say the name of that prime minister's daughter was?"

Beauty says: "Snow! "Snow Wind!"

Bing Ying said, "The banquet will be held at the Prime Minister's Mansion! Then let's go! It just so happens that I want to pay a visit to our Prime Minister! "

"Should we wait for the prince to come back?"

Bing Ying thought for a while and said, "No need." Just now, someone had called the prince to the yamen to deal with urgent matters! "There's no need for you to do such a small thing. You just need to get the supervisors to send someone to send us there."

"Then this servant will call the supervisor to prepare the carriage," said Beautiful Beauty.

Bing Ying said, "Go!"

Nangong Xiu arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of War's yamen. When he saw that the door was tightly shut, he was suspicious, "Someone clearly went to the Prince's Mansion just now to inform me that there is an urgent duty there. Why is there no one at the yamen?"

The military's yamen was an important place for military aircraft. At night, security was tight, and access was strictly prohibited. It was rare for them to take care of official business at night.

That person just said that he was sent by Lord Liu to inform me about the urgent matters.

But this didn't seem to be an emergency!

Could it be that the person who reported the situation to me was lying to me?

But why would he lie to me?

Nangong Xiu became suspicious and walked up to the guard guarding the door. The two guards shook their heads in succession, indicating that they had never seen Lord Liu return to handle official matters, nor had they sent anyone to notify the fourth prince …

He had fallen into a trap!

Nangong Xiu's heart sank. He knew that something bad was about to happen!

When he came, he didn't bring any weapon, but when he left, he borrowed a sword from the guard.

Nangong Xiu was a very smart person. Since the other party was so meticulous in tricking him into coming to the yamen, then he must have an extraordinary motive!

There were only three days left before the day of the conferred crown prince, and the battle between the First and Second Princes had finally started on his body …

What Nangong Xiu did not know was that at the same time, the imperial court's chief minister had already been summoned to the palace to scheme for the selection of the crown prince, and he had already been officially made the crown prince! However, he didn't know of this news himself! Nangong Chen had also ordered for all the ministers to keep this a secret!

"Who wants to kill me, Nangong Xiu, this time?" Brother? Or is it second brother? "

"Your fight for the throne has harmed me, you will regret it!"

"Let's see what kind of characters are sent to deal with This King!"

A cold smile appeared on Nangong Xiu's lips as he walked into the night with his sword …

Just as his figure left, a few black figures silently followed behind him …

Dark...

Dense and deep, the evening clouds receding.

Nangong Xiu's lonely back was almost blending into the darkness.

The few black shadows that had been following behind him suddenly spread out rapidly. Then, they surrounded Nangong Xiu from both the front and back.

He was finally going to make a move!

Then let's do it!

Nangong Xiu sneered as the sword in his hand raised a cloud of dust!

"Whoosh!"

Four black figures rushed out from the shadows like ghosts. They surrounded Nangong Xiu from both the left and right.

Nangong Xiu remained calm, "There are only four of you? Isn't there another one hiding on the roof? Come out! "

"Ha ha!"

From a rooftop far away, a gray shadow flew over like a giant bird!

Nangong Xiu said, "You look like a leader! Who sent you? "

The green sword in Gray Shadow's hand lit up, "When you die, ask Hades! "Go!"

As soon as he gave the order, all five of them rushed forward at the same time!

The martial arts of these five people could not be considered high level, but their movement techniques were strange and their coordination was tight … Moreover, their martial arts gave off a sense of familiarity.

Nangong Xiu was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he constantly dodged and carefully saw their moves!

This was because he had a feeling that he had seen their moves somewhere before!

"It's them!"

A bolt of lightning slashed through Nangong Xiu's mind!

He finally remembered!

Then, he raised the sword in his hand.

Swish

The sword was like a heavy rain! It suddenly descended!

The five assassins were decapitated and fell into a pool of blood!

A splash of blood appeared on Nangong Xiu's face. On his charming face, a bone-piercing coldness was flickering …

These assassins were actually the same kind of people who attacked him in the broken temple!

In other words, the ones who had sent these assassins to kill him were either Nangong Lie or Nangong Yan!

However, there was still a key issue!

Nangong Xiu could not understand it at all!

Why did Nangong Lie and Nangong Yan want to kill him? And how did you know where he was last time? He and the ghost slave quietly left the capital and went to the coldest place in the northwest to search for the Wordless Heavenly Book. However, no one knew where they were …

The most important question!

Who was the mastermind behind all these assassins?

Nangong Lie or Nangong Yan?

Nangong Xiu thought about it for a very long time. However, he was still unable to understand what Chu Feng meant. Nangong Lie had a straightforward personality, he did not seem like the kind of person who would do such insidious things. Nangong Yan is his biological brother, there's no need to be so vicious right?

But what can't be done for the sake of power?

Nangong Xiu held back on both of them!

He searched the five corpses for a while, but didn't find anything that could prove his identity. He thought to himself: "The mastermind must be someone who does things cleanly and ruthlessly!"

Suddenly, he thought of Bing Ying!

Before he left, Bing Ying received an invitation from Piao Xue!

If he was ambushed by a premeditated assassination, would Bing Ying be in danger?

Although he knew that Bing Ying knew martial arts and it was not bad, but he didn't know how good Bing Ying's martial arts was. Moreover, in her husband's instinct, his first reaction was to ensure the safety of her wife!

"Oh no!" I hope nothing will happen to him! "

"If anyone dares to touch a single hair of This King's woman, This King will definitely not let them off even if the entire capital is ripped apart!"

Nangong Xiu's eyes were cold and deep. He had a cold killing intent as he ran!

"Jia!" "Ride!" "Giddy up!"

Night came.

The carriage of the Xiu King Manor stopped at the entrance to the Prime Minister's estate.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was a solemn and dignified residence. It was far from being as impressive as the Prince Xiu's Mansion, but it gave people a feeling of restraint and stability!

Bing Ying thought, "The owner of this house must be someone with a scheming mind!"

Just as the carriage came to a halt, a servant girl dressed in green walked out from the entrance. "Qiao Ling pays her respects to Princess Xiu!"

Seeing that it was her, he excitedly said, "Qiao Ling? Why is it you? Why are you in the Prime Minister's Estate? "

Qiao Ling said, "Esteemed wangfei! This servant will be waiting for you at the door! "

Bing Ying said, "Why are you here?"
