The first time in history

"What I can tell your Highness is that...Last night, *** ordered me to come to the mansion because she wanted me to help her find an assassin through her network in Japan."

"Who does the imperial aunt want to assassinate?" Qian Mingduo asked vigilantly, "Did she tell you?"

Liu Jingxue smiled faintly, "Of course *** wouldn't tell me who he wants to assassinate, and I won't ask."

"Is it true or false that Japanese ninjas entered Sixth Brother's house?"

Liu Jingxue nodded, "This is true, and that Japanese ninja was still in the Sixth Prince's residence a few days ago... To be precise, he was still in his residence the day before the Sixth Prince was arrested."

"What?" Qian Mingduo couldn't help but open his eyes wide, "The Five-Leaf Ninja who assassinated my father has nothing to do with my sixth brother?"

"His Highness invited the Kagetake-ryu ninjas to his residence only to secretly train a few of his chosen ones. Moreover, they will not achieve anything in such a short period of time."

"So the assassin who assassinated my father must not be someone from my sixth brother's house." Qian Mingduo sighed softly, "Could it be the imperial aunt...did my sister tell the imperial aunt about the contact between the Shadow Bamboo Ninja and my sixth brother?"

Liu Jingxue nodded, "This is the information that *** bought from me for a lot of money."

"Bought the information?" Qian Mingduo asked in surprise, "Why would you sell out information to the person who adopted you?"

"When did I ever say that I was adopted by ***!" Liu Jingxue smiled, "Your Highness is just guessing."

Qian Mingduo couldn't figure out whether Liu Jingxue was telling the truth. "Did the imperial aunt ask you to contact the assassins in Japan for the first time last night?"

"Yes...but the second prince, His Highness Ruiyin, hired a Japanese assassin through a hall master of Moyi Tower."

"Second brother?" Qian Mingduo thought these things were too incredible. "Why did he ask the Japanese to do that?"

Liu Jingxue pointed at Qian Mingduo and said, "Assassinate you."

"What? Second brother wants to assassinate me?" Qian Mingduo looked at Liu Jingxue suspiciously, his eyes full of doubts and distrust.

"You are all adult princes. If one is killed, there will be one less competitor." Liu Jingxue turned over. "If we kill all the other princes, the remaining one can become the crown prince, right?"

"Why would my second brother tell you or the Japanese that he wanted to assassinate me? He wouldn't be so careless, would he?"

Liu Jingxue raised her snow-white calves and shook them slowly. "Of course the Second Prince will not tell anyone that he wants to kill you. But..." Liu Jingxue turned her head and smiled slightly, "The map he gave to the head of Mo Yi Lou is the map of your Fifth Prince's residence!"

"When did this happen?" Qian Mingduo asked coldly.

"The day before yesterday at twilight hour." Liu Jingxue held her legs with both hands and made a "double flying swallow" gesture. "It's a pity that he has not yet carried out his plan to assassinate His Highness, and His Highness has become a criminal."

"Did my second brother personally contact the head of Moyi Tower?"

"It's not the Second Prince, it's his personal guard."

"Is it possible that someone bribed his personal bodyguard to frame my second brother?" Qian Mingduo still didn't believe that his second brother would hire someone to assassinate him.

Liu Jingxue was meditating, wearing only a thin ribbon. "Of course there is such a possibility, but when the guard handed the map to Master Chen, the Second Prince, who was standing upstairs, saw it clearly when he learned that the Japanese were about to arrive at Shen Shi!"

Liu Jingxue assumed the "five hearts facing the sky" meditation posture, "And the waiter serving him tea upstairs happened to be the spy of Moyi Tower."

"So, my second brother knows all these things?" Qian Mingduo turned around and looked at Liu Jingxue, "Sister, let's finish our business first and then you can practice, okay?"

"Can't you see that I'm practicing this for you?" Liu Jingxue smiled slightly.

Qian Mingduo shook his head. "My second brother wants to assassinate me, and my father wants to arrest me. And you, sister, are seducing me again. Damn, there's no way I can live like this."

"You are just an old man, how...how come you are so powerful?" Liu Jingxue hugged Qian Mingduo from behind.

"You just said you would let me go today. What's the matter? Do you regret it?" Qian Ming wanted to get out of bed, but Liu Jingxue hugged him tightly.

"I know who the emperor has in mind for the crown prince." Qian Mingduo was stunned. He turned around suddenly and looked at Liu Jingxue in disbelief.

Qian Mingduo could not see deception or disguise in her eyes, but only a touch of love and tenderness.

"How do you know God's will?" Qian Mingduo lifted Liu Jingxue's chin and stared into his eyes.

"I can't tell His Highness yet." Liu Jingxue blinked and took Qian Mingduo's hand. "When the time is right, I will tell His Highness everything."

"Wait until the time is right?" Qian Mingduo smiled disdainfully, "I'm already a criminal, do you want me to wait until the day when my father captures me?"

"The emperor is so wise. He does this because he wants to protect Your Highness." Liu Jingxue said softly.

Qian Mingduo stared at Liu Jingxue, "It seems like you know everything about my father's thoughts?"

"I just said that when the time is right, I will tell His Highness." Liu Jingxue lay down lazily, covering herself with the torn black robe. "Thanks to Your Highness today, I... am very satisfied! I am tired."

Qian Mingduo saw Liu Jingxue quietly turn over and face the wall, and he just looked at her with foreknowledge.

Her breathing was even and slow, as if she was asleep.

Qian Mingduo slowly put on his clothes. Just as he was about to open the wooden door, Liu Jingxue whispered as if in a dream: "Your Highness must protect yourself and take care of yourself!"

Qian Ming wanted to know all this, but he also knew in his heart that Liu Jingxue was definitely not an ordinary woman. He could never ask her about things she didn't want to tell him. Unless she wanted to tell him. But looking at her...

Qian Mingduo turned around and took another look, and saw Liu Jingxue sleeping peacefully.

Returning to the wall of the dark room, Zi'er and Qing'er looked around to see if there was anyone around, slowly pushed open the corner of the wall, and the three of them quickly entered the dark room.

This is an alley with no one in the background. The corners of the dark room can be moved so that people in the cellar can enter and exit from here.

"Your Highness must protect yourself and take care of yourself." Qian Mingduo recalled what Liu Jingxue had said to him.

It didn't sound like a polite remark, and Liu Jingxue said that she knew the candidate for the crown prince in her father's mind. It didn't sound like she was just talking nonsense, and she looked confident...

Qian Mingduo sighed softly and walked slowly into the tunnel, with Zi'er and Qing'er following closely behind him.

The tunnel was several dozen meters long and passed through two streets. When Qian Mingduo arrived under the study, he hesitated for a moment.
