Lu JinNian felt that Xiao Su was being a little too frank, but what he said was not a joke at all.

Xiao Su tilted her head and said in amusement, "I believe you, A-Jin."

She shouldn't have believed it!

Lu JinNian wiped his face, and couldn't help but cough, "Your Royal Highness, you couldn't have said this to a lot of people, could you?" It was great to reveal his true intentions just like that!

Xiao Su waved three fingers in front of Lu JinNian's eyes, "Other than A Jin, I've only told three others. However, none of them believe me, so I'm curious, why would A Jin believe me?"

"In other words, the thing in this zither is important enough to shake the world?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a pity that the food is so tasteless."

Xiao Su's amber-like eyes were filled with kindness. Even though she said that, she didn't deny Lu JinNian's claim, making his stomach ache. She rubbed her forehead and tried to smooth the situation over.

"Because I discovered the intentions of the black-clothed person and found the thing hidden in the zither? However, if the Prince did not say it, I would not have felt anything from this piece of music. Furthermore, I am not a talkative person, so I will not tell others about this.

Furthermore, when Xiao Su saw her by Ming Quan's side, her first question was: What did she discover? Could it be that there was something else hidden within the zither as well as this piece of music?

"After the destruction of Ming Quan, I had originally planned to send some people to study the fragment, but with A-Jin reminding them, they must have been alerted. If they were to make a move now, then it might arouse some suspicion. Since they trust A-Jin so much, then I'll leave this matter to A-Jin."

This was her pot!

Lu Jinniang rubbed his chin awkwardly. Without mentioning anything else, she indeed felt that this matter had involved a lot. Others might not know about it, but she did.

The reason why Lu Qingwan would do what she did with the Fourth Prince was because of Lu Qingyao and Pei Qing. If their plans had accidentally leaked out, it would have been fine if they had coincidentally been used by the black-clothed man.

However, if this matter was part of the black-clothed person's plan, then Lu Qingyao, or the person behind Lu Qingyao, was highly likely to be involved in this matter.

In this way, was the day of Lu Qingyao's involvement with the Great General's Estate still far away? Lu Jinniang said she was unhappy. She just wanted to live her retirement and be a quiet, beautiful woman.

"Alright then." She also needed to know what exactly was hidden in Ming Quan, as well as assess the potential chaos that Lu Qingyao and her backers would bring in in the future. This way, she could prepare in advance and prevent anything from happening in the future.

"My lord, let's say this in advance, I will only be responsible for bringing Ming Quan here for your study, and also for that piece of music." My prince, let's say that in advance, I will bring Ming Quan here, so that you can study it, and that piece of music.

From now on, it was best to avoid getting involved in conflicts.

However, Lu JinNian didn't say these words out loud. Currently, they were still in the cooperation phase, so they couldn't make their relationship too stiff.

Xiao Su nodded in agreement. Lu JinNian let out a breath of relief, and suddenly, his face turned pale as he clutched his stomach and shrunk back into the blanket.

Wuu, my stomach hurts, I hate coming back to live.

After rubbing his stomach for a while, Lu JinNian finally recovered. She stuck her head out from under the quilt, looking at Xiao Su who was lost in her thoughts, she couldn't help but say, "I really felt that I had to use all of my luck to meet you!"

Ever since he got to know Xiao Su, he heard that she was suffering from an illness that only happened to happen once a year, and coincidentally had an aunt who came by the same time as well, the assassins of the man in black … It had all been squeezed together, but she had never been like this in the past sixteen years.

Xiao Su looked into her shiny black fox eyes and felt an itch in her heart. The feeling of being moved from before surged up again. Just as she was about to frown and ponder about it, she heard Lu Jinsheng continue, "Before I met you, I've never been so unlucky!"

Xiao Su, "..."

Stunned, Xiao Su smirked as she got up and said her goodbyes, "I still have some matters to investigate. I might as well wait until A Jin is better before talking about Ming Quan. Hopefully, A Jin has brought me good luck."

Lu JinNian, "..." They had never seen such a shameless person. As expected, being a pure little lamb was just an illusion!

After visiting Lu Jinniang, Xiao Su went straight back to her mansion and started drawing and writing in her study. Lan Yu was still standing in the study, but she was like a normal piece of furniture in the study.

His speech was different from Qing Ying's. Basically, he didn't say anything. At most, he only replied to his master's orders.

"Lan Yu."

"Your subordinate is here."

"The history of the assassins and the person who hired them in the House of Duke Yi should have been investigated by now."

"Yes, the assassin came from an unknown assassin's den in the martial arts world. The person who hired the assassin was the vice minister of the Ministry of Government, but he had already pledged allegiance to the fourth prince. His son is one of the silkpants who advised his master to drink the Ice Jade Wine after his master returned to the capital."

"The Assistant Minister of the Government Department hired an assassin to test out this king's strength, but the assassin came to snatch the guqin. He designed Xiao Jing to go to the backyard so that he wouldn't discover that the assassin's purpose in coming here had already deviated from their plans. That group of assassins … Alright, let's start with this vice minister. "

Xiao Su stood by the window with her hands behind her back, "Lan Yu, check on how Ming Quan managed to reach Lady Yi. If anyone is found in the course of the investigation, be careful not to get caught …"

"Mistress?"

The light in Xiao Su's eyes flickered as she tried to suppress her anger, "Go quickly."

Lan Yu hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes."

Actually, all he needed to do was to get what Lu JinNian had taken away from Ming Quan. He thought that the fee would be a lot of effort, but he never expected that Lu JinNian would look so scared that he would get into trouble. He could not help but say more.

There were very few times when he could not bear it. That person had told him that if he wanted to live, he had to endure something. That person was his hero. He had always admired that person and believed every word that person said.

However, when he became completely sensible, he discovered that what that person said was not true. As for the others, they didn't even need to endure what he said to live on before they could live well …

As he endured to the end, he could bear many things that ordinary people could not imagine, but he had to let out those emotions at regular intervals.

Unknowingly, he had become the most fearsome demon king in the martial arts world, even though on the surface, it was impossible to connect him to the demon king.

He did not necessarily want to pull Lu JinNian into the water, but he discovered that Lu JinNian was the complete opposite of him. To him, she was too calm and collected, and her smile was too dazzling, making him unable to hold back, wanting to destroy her …

You want to get rid of this trouble and get rid of it? How could he let go of someone the great demon king had targeted so easily?
