A genius girl with her own space

Xie Lei looked down into the room. There were six people in the room, two sitting and four standing and talking. "The master told us to stay out of the spotlight for now. The assassination of the old emperor and the injury of the crown prince are both serious matters, and both the old emperor and the crown prince's mansion are investigating them."

Let's leave the Imperial City and stay here for a few days. Once the storm has died down, we'll return to the Fourth Prince's Palace. This time, we dispatched our own forces, along with the assassins, but we didn't kill the old emperor. He's wary, and another opportunity like this will be difficult. The assassins have all retreated and gone into hiding.

After Xie Lei finished listening, he put on the tiles and quietly flew towards Wei Wushuang's tree. He whispered to them to continue monitoring and not let them discover that they were highly skilled in martial arts, so as not to suffer any loss.

Xie Lei quickly arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. The Crown Prince and Yun Jizi hadn't yet rested. Xie Lei told them what Wei Wushuang and his sister had discovered and recounted their conversation.

Zhou Jingze didn't quite believe that it was his fourth brother who sent someone to do it. But the witnesses were all here, so he couldn't help but believe it.

The Fourth Prince was born to a woman whom the old emperor met during a private visit and who saved his life. His mother suffered a difficult labor and nearly died, her health failing. Although his mother possessed some medical skills, she lived in the treacherous and treacherous environment of the imperial palace. Though she was a noble lady, the Fourth Prince's mother was naive and lacked the protection of her mother's family.

Many concubines and noble ladies were secretly harming her. Her health was getting worse day by day. Despite the special care of the old emperor, the fourth prince's mother died when he was only three years old.

The fourth prince grew up in solitude. Although the old emperor loved him dearly, his withdrawn personality and constant oppression and backstabbing made him grow up in such a lonely state. He seemed to be very quiet, shy and cute, and he never played with others.

In fact, the Fourth Prince had been worshipping a master since he was six years old. His master had been expelled from the sect and hated the people there. Seeing that the Fourth Prince had a similar personality to his, he took the initiative to accept him as his apprentice, teaching him martial arts and strategy. How could someone expelled from the sect become a good apprentice?

He helped the Fourth Prince establish his own secret guard. He took in orphans with unusual anatomy and taught them martial arts. The Fourth Prince and his secret guards grew up together, and their martial arts skills were so great that a dozen ordinary people couldn't even come close to them.

They had helped the Fourth Prince commit many evil deeds. Under his master's guidance, the Fourth Prince had won over many talented individuals to serve him. He had also assassinated several insignificant officials, a case that remains unsolved.

The Fourth Prince knew that after the old emperor's death, the throne would be passed to the Crown Prince, leaving him no place in the world. He acted quietly. He wanted to kill the old emperor, hating him for not protecting his mother. He hated him for not raising him, for letting him grow up in humiliation. If he hadn't endured the humiliation himself, he would have been tortured to death long ago.

He hated the old emperor deeply. He had failed to fulfill his duties as a father. If his mother had not entered the palace, she might have lived an ordinary life. His mother could have enjoyed the happiness of heaven.

The Fourth Prince hated everyone in the palace and frequently ordered his secret guards to attack the other princes. The assassination attempt on the Crown Prince before the Lunar New Year was the work of the Fourth Prince. He had his secret guards carry tokens with the character "三" (three) on them, blaming the assassination on the Third Prince. His malice was terrifying. He had also sent someone to assassinate the Third Prince, hoping to pin the blame on the Crown Prince. That time, despite the Emperor's secret guards' protection, the assassination attempt failed.

The Fourth Prince saw that the Crown Prince did not follow Qiqi on her travels. He became even more anxious, fearing that the old emperor would pass the throne to the Crown Prince, which would ruin his plans. He decided to have the secret guards detain the old emperor, pretend to rescue him, and have the old emperor write an edict to pass the throne to him.

The Fourth Prince hadn't expected that after leading away the old emperor's secret guards, he would also discover that the old emperor's personal eunuchs were also skilled in martial arts. Before he even showed up, the Crown Prince arrived at the old emperor's bedroom and quickly saved the old emperor.

The fourth prince also planned to wait for the old emperor to be poisoned, and then recommend his own medical staff to pretend to be a famous doctor to detoxify his father. These plans were disrupted by the crown prince.

The Fourth Prince was so angry in the dark that he wanted to go up and kill the Crown Prince himself, but was stopped by his master. The Fourth Prince's secret guards had no choice but to withdraw.

Qiqi also heard it in the space and left the space.

"Master, I think we should arrest those people first and see what we can get out of them. Then let the secret guards keep an eye on that house and arrest anyone who comes there. I think the four gates of the imperial city are under martial law now, and the Fourth Prince cannot leave the imperial city. Even if we arrest them, the Fourth Prince will not notice." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi is right. Let's arrest them first and interrogate them to see what they know. We should also send people to strictly guard the Fourth Prince's mansion to see who has close contact with him. Jingze, you take care of your injuries first. Qiqi, Xie Lei and I will go to arrest people. We will see what we can get out of them." Yun Jizi said.

"Master, Qiqi, Xie Lei, please be careful." Zhou Jingze replied.

After the three of them finished chatting, they flew out of the city and met Wei Wushuang and his sister outside the courtyard. They talked about the situation in the courtyard. The courtyard was now silent and the lights were off.

Qiqi ordered the secret guards to stand guard outside the courtyard, while the other five of them approached the window of the six-person room. Fearing the noise of fighting might cause trouble, Qiqi wet her hand, poked a small hole in the window, and blew in some knockout drug. After waiting for a moment, she quietly opened the window, and Xie Lei jumped in. She opened the door, and the others entered.

Xie Lei pressed the acupuncture points of the six men one by one. He woke up a man with a small mustache. Just as he was about to scream, he saw Wei Wuliang holding a knife to his neck. He shuddered with fear and his voice stopped abruptly.

Qiqi took out a pill and handed it to Brother Xie Lei. Xie Lei nodded in understanding and gave it to Brother Xiao Huzi.

"What did you do? Tell the truth. I just gave you poison. If you don't tell the truth, you will die from the poison." Qiqi asked.

At this time, the mustache man felt itchy all over his body. "I'm telling you, I'm the most ticklish. Give me the antidote quickly, or I'll confess."

Qiqi casually threw a pill to Xiao Huzi and waited for Xiao Huzi to eat it.

"What I gave you is both the antidote and the poison. You're now poisoned by both." Qiqi took out another pill and said, "I have more here, take a look... Tell me, what do you know?"

The mustache shuddered at the sight. "We're the Fourth Prince's secret guards. We've been with him since childhood and have done a lot of bad things for him. For example, years ago, he sent us to assassinate the Crown Prince, but none of the people we sent ever returned. I heard the Fourth Prince sent them with a Three Sons token to pin the blame on the Third Prince. We're often sent out like this to assassinate others."

"Why did you assassinate the old emperor? Where did the poison on your sword come from?" Qiqi asked

"The Fourth Prince wants to be the Emperor. Recently, he heard from his ministers that the old Emperor is giving the throne to the Crown Prince. The Fourth Prince is anxious, so he arranged for our secret guards to act as assassins. They wounded and poisoned the old Emperor, and the Fourth Prince rushed to protect him. They also searched for a miracle doctor to cure the poison. Meanwhile, they had the old Emperor write an edict, passing the throne to the Fourth Prince.

Many of us entered the palace, some lured out the palace's secret guards, others led away those following us. Just when we were about to succeed, the crown prince came in to rescue the old emperor, and the knife struck the crown prince. We received the signal to retreat, and we left the palace. The Fourth Prince was afraid we would be exposed in the imperial city, so he sent a few of us to the courtyard outside the imperial city to avoid danger. But you still caught us.

"Who gave you the poison on the sword? Tell me."

"It was given by the Fourth Prince's master. He had a lot of poison in his hands, and he killed many ministers who didn't obey the Fourth Prince. Even Inspector Si couldn't solve the case. Hahaha." The man with the mustache laughed. Wei Wuliang slapped him on the head with his hand. The man with the mustache knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Did you poison Marshal Zhao from Border City?" Qiqi asked angrily.

"Border City? Let me think about it, I remember that the Fourth Prince sent them to Border City, saying that he wanted to poison Marshal Zhao and send his own people to take the position of marshal. I don't know why Marshal Zhao is still alive now." The man with a small mustache said, pointing to a lying accomplice.

"Who is the Fourth Prince's master? Where does he live now?" Qiqi asked.

"We have been learning martial arts from him since we were young, and we don't know where he came from. He now lives in the backyard of the Fourth Prince's Mansion." said the man with a small mustache.

"How many secret guards and death warriors do you have? Tell me quickly," Qiqi asked.
