Combining everyone's rhetoric, Xia Fan also understood the situation outside the palace that night.
The prince was assassinated almost in front of thousands of people, so the news spread extremely quickly. When it reached Wanjing Tower, the floating lights had not even gone out.
Li Ben planned to go to the palace to find out, but Luo gently stopped him. According to the latter's understanding, after this happened, the palace's alertness would increase exponentially. If there is still a slight gap to dive into, now it is definitely a choice to go to the net.
In fact, as Luo Qing expected, the people on the street were quickly cleared by the Forbidden Army. Patrol guards appeared at the corners of various streets, and even the roofs of some houses began to have crossbowmen in place. Once they leave the residence in vain, they will undoubtedly become the most visible target.
Therefore, Li let go to the palace.
Although the cat can't talk, its IQ can understand and implement the intention of the "master".
In the end, according to the rolling feedback, there was no strong "bloody atmosphere" around the Palace Square-this meant that the assassination was only targeted at the prince, and there was no disturbance or suppression at the scene. In the middle of the night of the Lantern Festival, which was abruptly ended, this was a piece of calming news. With the advanced divination above, everyone decided to wait one night and make a decision based on the situation tomorrow.
After staying up all night, everyone waited for news from Xin Wu.
"So the prince himself is safe and sound?" Qianyan asked.
"Yes. Otherwise, I guess it would not be so easy to let people go there."
"It's a pity." Luo said softly with a little regret.
Xia Fan quickly glanced behind him--fortunately, Xin Wu didn't follow him into the house.
"This is a bit strange," Fang Xiandao pondered for a moment. "The crown prince is the first heir to Qi Kingdom, and he is personally recognized by the Holy Master. The Privy Council has no reason to trouble him, so it can only be attributed to the personal thoughts of the assassin. But...why did you choose it at the Wan Lan Festival? Not to mention that it is easy to reveal your whereabouts, and there is no shortage of guards around the prince, and even this person did not even expect the life-saving artifact."
"No matter what the reason is, the Privy Council must be in trouble now." Qianyan smiled a little. "The six parts of the court are not compatible with the Privy Council. Now it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to beat each other."
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with Jinxia, we just have to wait for the result." Luo Qing said disapprovingly.
"I don't know how long the lockdown will last. It would be nice to end it sooner." Fang Yanni still had some lingering fears.
"By the way, did the Yuyi you met at the Wandeng Banquet mentioned the specific content of the ceremony?" Li changed the subject.
Xia Fan shook his head, "The guy speaks very tightly, and he will know when he speaks."
"So when they see you, it's really just a meal?"
"I have this question, but it seems to be the case."
"Chichi has a problem, does Yui look great?" the little girl interrupted.
"How should I put it..." Xia Fan thought, "I feel like just a very ordinary middle-aged person, 35 or 6 years old, except for the roughness, there is nothing different about it."
"Ordinary?" Fang Xiandao hummed, "The other party is a first-rank official in the Privy Council. People who can climb this position have proven themselves by **** deeds. If you have to deal with him in the future, you should be more cautious. Great."
"Master, are you caring about others?"
"I'm thinking about Fang's future!"
Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched his mouth.
Rather than saying that Yuyi was "dry", the words of another Qingjian "Jushi on the Clouds" made him more concerned, especially the sentence "The ceremony is not a child's play, it is related to the future of the nations"-Could it be that the Privy Council of Qiguo fiddled The internal ceremony is also related to other kingdoms?
Not only that, this person also mentioned a strange term.
"Thousands of words," he looked at the living fossil in the room, "have you ever heard of the existence of the post of Tianshu envoy in the Privy Council?"
Qianyan shook his head, "What is that?"
"Listening to their tone, this person seems to have a higher status than Yuyi."
She thought about it for a while and still denied, "The division of Yuyi Qingjian guards can be traced back to the Yongwang period, but at that time the title represented more ability than merit. Later, people just inherited this name. Whether it is the Privy Council I have never heard of this official position before or after the establishment."
Xia Fan nodded, it seems that this question will not know the answer until the ceremony begins.
"Ah... something else." Li suddenly remembered a little, "Don't forget to report to the princess later, she took the initiative to call and inquire yesterday."
Uh-Xia Fan's expression suddenly froze. He forgot about this incident last night and said he would report the news every day, but something went wrong on the third day.
Although it is considered force majeure.
"The one who picked you up, don't you plan to leave?" Luo gently leaned against the window and said, "The carriage is still parked at the gate, and there is no breath of him in the carriage."
"Is it?"
Xia Fan looked out of the inn with some surprise, then walked to the door of the wing and opened the sliding door, only to see the messenger staying in place, not leaving.
"Master Xia," Xin Wu said, "I have something to tell you."
After introducing him into the hall, Xia Fan motioned, "What's the matter?"
He suddenly bowed down, "I also ask Master Xia to help the Privy Council to find out the truth, to prevent Xiao Xiao from turning the world upside down and profiting from it!"
"Wait..." Xia Fan was startled, "Are you talking about me?"
"There is no other person besides you."
"You get up first."
"If you don't agree--"
Before Xia Fan finished speaking, he pulled him off the ground, "Sit down and say. This is the Privy Council of Gyeonggi. You asked me to find out the truth in Jinxia City? Not to mention this. Can I help if I want to help, right?"
"You are indeed only a hundred swords in name, but you already have the potential to become a core member in the Privy Council. This is not something that you can exchange for official rank." Xin Wu insisted, "If it is normal, let you help the general The investigation by the government naturally has doubts, but now most of the alchemists in Shangyuan City have rushed to the two places of Su and You, leaving behind the three in Gyeonggi. In addition to the assassination yesterday, the Lord Gan and the Hundred Masters were restricted to their freedom and trapped In the palace. If you want to select a person to take over the overall situation, only you are the most suitable!"
"In addition, this is not my opinion alone." He raised his voice a little bit, "After I learned of the incident in the palace last night, I have secretly contacted my colleagues hidden in the dark-despite their ability and level It is very limited, but it is unanimously agreed that the reserve core members will instruct them. There are thirty-two alchemists in total. As long as you nod your head and agree, they will all become your helpers."
