Nan Ge frowned.

He replied respectfully, "Master, your subordinate has not set foot in the martial arts world for quite some years, so your subordinate really has no clue. However, your subordinate believes that these assassins might be related to Prime Minister Zuo and Imperial Concubine Ning."

Most of the court officials in the Huan Yue Country knew that the Prime Minister's house had many people in the martial world. Since these assassins were people in the martial world, then the Prime Minister was the most likely suspect.

Shaking his head, Bai Zhan Ke denied Nan Ge's words.

"Since these assassins are here for Xi Er, you go investigate this. You must find out who is behind this."

"Yes sir!"

After receiving his orders, Nan Ge still remained kneeling on the ground and did not stand up.

"Go get Fu Xin and Luo Chen!"

The sudden decision to send Nan Ge to call Luo Chen and Fu Xin made Nan Ge suspicious.

But master's order was an order, he didn't dare to disobey.

"Yes sir!"

Not long after, Nan Ge called for Luo Chen.

However, Fuxin didn't appear within the palace.

"Mistress, your subordinate was unable to find Fuxin."

The two of them knelt on the ground, and Nan Ge replied.

The corner of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth curled up into a cold smile, his eyes were dark and gloomy.

"Send people to track down Fu Xin. If necessary, kill him!"

The word 'kill' made Luo Chen raise his head.

Doubt was written all over his face as he asked, "Master, Fu Xin is extremely loyal to you, and you are also her savior. This subordinate doesn't understand why master would want to kill Fu Xin."

"Loyalty?"

Bai Zhan Ke snorted coldly and looked at Luo Chen.

He also knew that Luo Chen loved and admired Fu Xin.

"The arrow on my back today is most likely related to her. "Do you still think that she is loyal to me?"

Sometimes, a person's love and adoration would often blind his eyes.

At this moment, it was the same for Luo Chen.

"Isn't the arrow on Master made by those assassins?" Why does Master think that it was Fu Xin who did it? "

As soon as Luo Chen finished his sentence, this was the first time he rebutted Bai Zhan Ke.

Looking coldly at Luo Chen, Bai Zhan Ke's face darkened.

"Since you believe her, why don't you leave with her?"

Biting his lips, Luo Chen felt regret.

"Master, this subordinate's life is yours. In this life, this subordinate vows to follow you until death."

"Then shut up!"

Luo Chen didn't dare to say a single word as he scolded her in a low voice.

Since Nan was not there, he had no idea what was going on.

Although he had worked with him for three years, he had not interacted with him very deeply. Naturally, he would not speak for him.

"Your majesty, your majesty, something bad happened. Something terrible happened …"

Suddenly, Zhang Quan De's voice came from outside the palace, hearing his anxious tone, as though something big happened.

"Come in!"

With a command, Zhang Quan De pushed open the doors of the palace and rushed forward.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's guards have come to report that the imperial concubine has angrily attacked the prince's tent with her sword."

Hearing this, Bai Zhan Ke stood up abruptly.

Watching Bai Zhan Ke walk out of the tent, Luo Chen and Nan Ge stayed where they were.

Turning his head, Nan Ge looked at Luo Chen and asked: "Master, is the injury really related to Fu Xin?"

Luo Chen shook his head and sighed. "I don't know either. But after thinking about it, after Master was sent back, the imperial physician said something after he saw the wound."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Chen bitterly smiled.

"My master was struck by an arrow. The arrow was originally smeared with poison, but some unknown person sprinkled medicine on my master's wound, allowing him to remain unharmed. I was not with my master when he was shot, and I asked Fuxin afterwards, but she said nothing. I haven't seen her since. "

As he spoke, Nan Ge glanced at him, ready to follow.

But just as he took two steps, he stopped.

Without turning his head, he said in a low voice, "Luo Chen, you should know that those who betray their masters will only die! Your admiration for her ends here. "

He mocked himself. How could Luo Chen not know?

However, how could this heart of adoration be so easily obliterated?

On the other side, Hua Mujie held her sword, and just as Zhang Quan De had said, she rushed towards Bai Ling Yu's tent.

Because there were differences between males and females, the concubines of the White Battlefield Hunting Belt were placed on the right side of the palace, while the palaces of Bai Linyu and the ministers were arranged on the left side. There was still some distance between the tents on both sides.

"Empress, the Prince has already fallen asleep. You cannot go in!"

Outside the tent, Hua Mujie was stopped by a guard.

"Scram!"

Glaring coldly at the guard who had stopped her, Hua Mujiao's eyes were filled with rage.

Beside Pearl's cold corpse, a thought flashed through her mind. Apart from the scenes of her interactions with Pearl, there was also Bai Lingyu threatening her with her threats against Pearl and Green Bamboo.

"Empress, you really cannot enter. Please don't make things difficult for this subordinate."

The cold attitude of the guards further infuriated Hua Mu Jin.

"I'll say it again, scram!"

"Empress, please forgive this subordinate for not obeying orders!"

The guard's hand was placed on the sword hilt on his waist.

Hua Mujiao sneered, the hand holding her sword tightened, and in the next second, she stepped forward to exchange blows with her guards.

The guards were afraid of her identity and didn't dare to attack her. After a few moves, the guards were defeated.

"In the middle of the night, didn't Imperial Concubine Xi miss Ben Wang? She actually came to Ben Wang's camp alone. Is she planning to have a private meeting with Ben Wang?"

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was opened, and Bai Linyu appeared in front of Hua Mujiao.

Looking at Bai Linyu, Hua Mu Jin was both angry and furious.

"Bai Lingyu, I'll f * cking make you die with the pearl!"

As she spoke, Hua Mujiao raised her sword and attacked Bai Ling Yu.

After easily dodging the attack of Hibiscus vulgaris, a faint smile still hung on Bai Ling Yu's face.

"I wonder why Esteemed Empress Xi came to my tent in the middle of the night to kill me?" What does the death of your personal palace maid have to do with this king? Even if you want to avenge her, you must have found the wrong person, right? "

Bai Ling Yu said as he dodged.

But how could Hua Mu Jin listen to him right now.

"Cut the crap, go to hell!"

Hua Mujiao's moves were vicious, and even Bai Linyu, who originally easily dodged them, was having some difficulty.

Her refusal to listen to her explanation caused the smile on the corner of Bai Linyu's mouth to freeze.

In the next moment, Bai Linghu did not dodge. He took advantage of the opportunity to take down the sword in the guard's hand and faced off against Hua Mujiao.

Because Hua Mujiao was injured, coupled with the fact that she wasn't a match for Bai Lingyu, it had only been a few moves, but Bai Lingyu had already used her sword to block her neck.

"I repeat, the death of your personal palace maid has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, then use your brain first! "

The sword rested on her neck, but Hua Mu Jin didn't feel a trace of fear.

"Don't you resent me for helping you lose the talisman? Even if I didn't do as you said and pulled me into your trap, didn't you succeed? Why did you kill Pearl? It's fine that you sent people to kill her, but why did you let them sully her? Bai Lingyu, you are truly worse than a beast! "

Besides Bai Lingyu who had threatened her with a pearl before, Hibiscus vulgaris could not find any other reason for Pearl's death.

Shaking his head helplessly, Bai Lingyu sighed.

"You want This King to repeat that Pearl's death has nothing to do with This King! This King is not happy to lose the token, but I am not bored enough to send someone to kill an insignificant person. "

As he spoke, Bai Ling Yu took off the sword that was resting on Hua Mu Jin's neck.

A trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes as he looked at the furious Hua Mu Jin.

"Use your brain to think about it, those killers from the martial arts world are coming for you. It's clear that someone wants to get rid of you. "Don't you think that Pearl was killed by the man who tried to kill you?"

As for the white feather, Hibiscus vulgaris did not trust him in the slightest.

His words didn't seem to have any credibility to Hua Mujiao.

But when the calming Hua Mu Jin thought about it, his words were not without reason.

"Hua Mujiao, you better remember this. No matter how fierce this duke is, I will definitely not kill you."

The corners of his mouth curled up into a self-mocking smile.

Bai Ling Yu said this because he hoped that Hua Mu Jin would more or less trust him.

"Why should I believe you!"

Lifting his lips, Bai Linyu took two steps forward, approaching the hibiscus flower.

He put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Because I won't do anything to a woman I like."

Because of his aura, Hua Mu Jin's ears started to itch. She reflexively prepared to dodge, but before she could react, a large hand pulled her away from Bai Ling Yu.

"I'm warning you, stay away from her!"

Hua Mujiao raised her head and looked at him, before shifting her gaze back to Bai Lingyu.

"Imperial Concubine Xi took the initiative to look for me tonight. If I treat you coldly, wouldn't I be disrespectful to you?"

Bai Lingyu had already predicted that Bai Zhan would appear. The scene just now was just for him to see.

Sure enough, as he had expected, the white war kite had appeared in the nick of time.

"If you hadn't done something to anger her, she wouldn't have come for you!"

Bai Lingyu laughed, "It was my brother's fault for angering royal brother's beloved concubine. Please forgive me, royal brother. "But it's almost daybreak. Since imperial brother is injured, we should still take care of his dragon constitution. Chendi will send you off as well as Imperial Concubine Xi."

After he finished speaking, Bai Linyu turned around and returned to her tent.

Hua Mu Jin moved, but was held back by Bai Zhan.

"Go back first. We have ordered Nan Ge to investigate the matter regarding the pearl."

Helpless, Hua Mu Jin had no choice but to follow Bai Zhan Ke back to the palace.

Sitting on the bed, the hibiscus flowers in the grief of losing the pearl.

"Sleep for a while longer. Don't be sad."

Persuading Hibiscus, Bai Zhan gently pushed her onto the bed, as if he was prepared for her to force her to sleep.

Maybe it was because she was really tired, but not long after she closed her eyes, Hua Mu Jin fell asleep.

And this sleep of hers had turned into a high fever that did not wake up …

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi was already injured. This, coupled with the grief from losing her personal palace maid, caused the Empress to faint from a high fever. This humble subject will first give the Empress a medicine to reduce her fever. In a while, the Empress will wake up. However, this humble subject has gone hunting with you this time, and I have exhausted all the medicinal herbs that I should use. If you wish for this esteemed one to recover, I'm afraid you will have to return to the palace. "

Hearing the imperial physician's words, Bai Zhan Ke's face eased a little.
