Chapter 500 Regent, please stay (48)
"On the orders of the Emperor, I am here to capture the remnants of the Shadow Killers and...the Prime Minister."
The imperial edict was spread out in front of the prime minister with slender fingers.
Every word on it, including the bright and eye-catching royal seal of the Holy Emperor, made Prime Minister Liu's heart cool down little by little, and his face turned livid.
Prime Minister Liu's fingertips began to tremble unnoticeably. He raised his eyes and met the emotionless eyes behind the imperial edict.
"It must be you... it must be you! What did you say in front of the emperor!" Prime Minister Liu was so excited that his final voice rose and broke slightly, "I want to see the emperor!"
"I want to see the emperor!!"
Yanxu looked at Prime Minister Liu's hysterics without any surprise. He raised his hand and two soldiers came up from behind. They set up Prime Minister Liu on the left and right. No matter how much he struggled, the soldiers did not let go and dragged Prime Minister Liu out. .
The angry voice still lingered in the air until Prime Minister Liu was dragged far away.
Yanxu twitched his lips mockingly, then looked at the man in the center of the private room.
He noticed the man's small movements of premeditated drawing of the knife.
Yanxu walked over and held down the man's hand when he was about to draw the knife. He turned his wrist and used the other hand to slash at the man's elbow with full strength and speed. The man's elbow was torn apart. The pain was so heartbreaking that he let out a scream.
The next second, the scimitar was in Yanxu's hand. In his hand, the scimitar was completely unsheathed. A cold light flashed through the man's eyes, but Yanxu remained calm and pressed the knife against the man's neck.
Yanxu's movements were very familiar, and the man opened his eyes little by little in pain.
"This is a shadow-killing move. How could you..." The man looked at Yan Xu in disbelief.
Yanxu opened the corner of his mouth casually, the emotion in his eyes was dull, but the man felt a little bit of madness underneath this dullness for no reason.
"What do you think?"
After Yanxu finished speaking, he put away the knife and stepped back. Two soldiers immediately came up to hold the man who had lost the ability to resist due to pain.
"Bring back."
When the soldiers arrested people and escorted them out of the brothel, many girls were frightened by the fight, and many guests poked their heads out of the private rooms to take a look.
Only the private room next door to Prime Minister Liu and his friends was missing.
Yanxu did not leave immediately after arresting the person, and did not rush back to meet the emperor. Instead, he stood alone in front of the door of the private room next door and pushed the door open.
Yun Qian was sitting inside, and his eyes burst into laughter the moment he saw Yanxu.
Yanxu couldn't help but also smiled.
"Are you happy now?" Yan Xu walked over and sat down next to Yun Qian.
Yun Qian hooked Yanxu's hand, happy but restrained: "Just as happy as usual."
This statement would be much more believable if the joy in the corner of his eyes was no longer so obvious.
This game that had been planned for so many days was finally implemented today with satisfactory results. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
---
Going back to the morning before the incident, Yun Qian was sitting in the courtyard of the Regent's Palace and listened to the secret guard's report.
"My subordinate followed Prime Minister Liu for a walk in the teahouse and saw him meeting a man. The man was probably just a messenger. His body was as weak as a branch that was about to break off. There were no tattoos on the side of his neck. It didn't look like he was a murderer. Shadow people."
"After they met, I stopped the man and under questioning, he told me everything."
"A man with a scar on his face invited Prime Minister Liu to meet at the brothel's private room tomorrow."
"The man was placed in an inn near the palace by his subordinates. He is under guard. The young lady can see him anytime she wants."
After the report, Yun Qian nodded and waved the secret guard to retreat, "I understand, you can go down first, there is no need to follow him anymore."
"Yes."
His shoulders felt heavy, and the person behind him put on a thin cloak, "Although it's spring and the weather is cold, it's better to wear more clothes when sitting outside."
Yanxu helped Yun Qian put on his cloak, walked around and sat down, and held Yun Qian's slightly cold fingers into his warm palm.
The tea in the teapot was still warm. Yanxu poured out two cups of tea and said, "Drink some tea."
Yun Qian smiled helplessly, then raised her two hands that were being held, "How can I drink from this?"
Yanxu raised his eyebrows, "There seems to be something wrong."
Immediately afterwards, Yanxu raised his eyes and winked. The servants around him were ordered to turn around, and no one looked here again.
Yun Qian: "...?"
Before Yun Qian had time to wonder, he saw Yanxu put the tea cup to his mouth, and then drank the small cup of tea. The hand that put down the tea cup turned to clasp Yun Qian's chin, and brought Yun Qian towards him. .
Their lips touched and they crossed the water with a kiss. Yun Qian raised her head and was forced to bear it. After drinking the water, she unconsciously hooked the tip of Yanxu's tongue with her tongue.
Then a gentle kiss across the water became deeper, the teeth were opened, and Yun Qian was hooked by Yan Xu and danced with her tongue.
When it was over, both of them were panting a little, Yun Qian was panting more obviously.
"I have no choice but to drink like this." Yan Xu couldn't hide the joy of success in his voice.
Yun Qian glared at Yanxu, her face flushed, "...You just want to take advantage of me."
Yanxu did not deny it, and nodded in agreement: "You have seen it all."
Yun Qian: "..."
The way this man opened his screen almost blinded Yun Qian.
After Niwai, Yun Qian talked about business with a red face, "Liucheng will meet a man with a scar on his face at a brothel tomorrow. Do you have any impression of this man?"
Yanxu pondered for a moment, "I'm impressed."
"The level ranking in Killing Shadows has remained unchanged for a long time. There is only one person with scars on his face who can cooperate with the Prime Minister."
Yun Qian nodded, thinking about something in his mind. Yanxu seemed to understand what Yun Qian was thinking, smiled, and rubbed the back of Yun Qian's hand with his thumb: "Are you ready to close the net?"
"Well, I finally caught this big fish." Yun Qian said.
This was not the first time that Prime Minister Liu met a man. The two of them must have met many times, most of them in brothels. At that time, he did not do anything because he was afraid of alerting the enemy. He also wanted to collect evidence of the meeting between the two, so that he could catch the big fish with a long-term approach. .
Yun Qian and Yan Xu went to see the man who sent the message together, and learned that it was not the first time that the man sent a message to them, and it was the third time that he was stopped by the secret guard.
The man knew the regent and expressed his willingness to be their witness. He only hoped that the regent could save his old mother who was sick at home.
Of course this is no problem, and Yun Qian is very happy to have an unexpected gain.
Back at the palace, night was almost falling. The two of them stood in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.
Yanxu hugged Yunqian from behind to block the cool breeze.
"Success or failure depends on this." Yun Qian said.
She can change the fate of Shangshu Mansion and make Yun Fu's career smoother.
Yanxu softly said "Hmm" and placed a hot kiss behind Yun Qian's ear.
"It won't fail."
Yanxu's voice was wrapped in boundless tenderness in the night, lingering in his ears.
"As soon as this is over, we will get married."
