"Why don't you know anything?" Xiao Zhen looked at Shi Yan speechlessly: "Aren't you the leader of the sacrificial clan? The Tongxin Lock is a sacred object of your clan, so you should know something about this lock, right?"

"You've been here for so many years, I don't think it will have a big impact." Shi Yan said not sure.

"Think about it? When you said that, I was really worried." Xiao Zhen looked at Shi Yan for a long time and asked: "I said, didn't you inherit the memory of the past clan leaders? Since this concentric lock is the sacrifice of your clan

The first-generation things must also have memories of concentric locks? You should think about it carefully."

"It seems that the first generation patriarch deliberately erased the matter about the concentric lock."

Xiao Zhen: ""

"But your matter must be related to Tongxinsuo." Shi Yan affirmed: "The fate of you and Brother Ziran has changed in this life, so Tongxinsuo wants to correct it."

Xiao Zhen was silent for a while, then looked at the late emperor's coffin: "Give me the incense."

"Didn't you say you don't want to worship?"

"This is the case, can I not worship?"

Shi Yan lit the incense and handed it over.

Facing the late emperor's coffin, Xiao Zhen didn't know what to say. In fact, she had a lot to say, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say a word.

In the end, she just bowed three times and said: "Xi Mo, if you know anything, please return the Tongxin Lock to Shi Yan and end the involvement between us."

"Sister A-Zhen, I will go back to the clan tomorrow and ask the elders to help me find a solution." Shi Yan said.

Xiao Zhen nodded: "Although I am a little uneasy, nothing has happened so far. But you, you have to pay attention to your health, and you must live longer than your father, you know?"

"I will definitely do it." Shi Yan nodded: "I also want to live a long life."

After leaving the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Zhen did not mount her horse and run back to the city. Instead, she led the horse and walked on the road. After walking a few steps, she looked back at the imperial mausoleum and the mountains behind her. This is the royal mausoleum and the place where she once lived.

Together she fought bloody battles tombs of her brothers.

The memory is as vivid as yesterday, but when I look back suddenly, things have changed.

Just when Xiao Zhen was sighing in his heart, he frowned, and when she turned over, an arrow flying from nowhere shot past her waist.

The next moment, countless arrows were shot at her from a small forest not far away.

When all these arrows were shot by Xiao Zhen one by one, three men in black rushed out from the woods and stabbed Xiao Zhen with swords.

"Who are you?" The martial arts of these people were not very high, and she could defeat them with just one move. At the same time, she also saw the shocked expressions of these people looking at her, as if they were surprised by her skills.

Xiao Zhen stopped dealing with them and directly tore off the three people's masks, revealing three new faces: "Why did you kill me?"

"Because you have offended someone."

"Who have I offended?"

"Go down there and ask the King of Hell."

But before the three men in black took action, their bodies could no longer move. They looked at Xiao Zhen in horror.

"Who ordered you?" Before Xiao Zhen could finish his words, three sharp arrows shot through the air and hit the chests of the three of them.

Xiao Zhen's eyes were sharp, and in a flash, he had entered a small forest not far away. However, was there anyone else in the forest?

When Xiao Zhen returned to Han's house, night had fallen.

Sister-in-law Liu cooked a table of her favorite dishes, but only the adults were in the family, and none of the younger generation came back. Even Hanhua’s wife Ren Zhuyu returned to her parents’ home. I heard that she stayed with her sister-in-law at her parents’ home every day.

fight.

"Her character cannot be changed, Luo. Fortunately, Han Hua can cure her." Xi Ya shook her head when she talked about Ren Zhuyu.

"Every carrot is a trap. When Ah Hua and Zhu Yu got married, I really thought Ah Hua couldn't control him. I didn't expect that Zhu Yu was not afraid of anyone but Ah Hua." Xiang'er said aside.

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and smiled: "Actually, Zhuyu is not as bad as you say. She is still filial to me, and she never neglects you during the New Year and festivals."

"That's true."

"Although Zhuyu's temperament is not pleasing to the eye, my good grandchildren are very good." The eldest brother of the Han family talked about his two grandchildren, with pride overflowing in his eyes: "Azhen, in a few days

The children will come back from school and you can see them then."

Xiao Zhen was still thinking about the people who had just killed her, and she just smiled or nodded to everyone's chat.

"Azhen, it's rare for you to come back to Beijing. Why do you have to stay here for a few months this time?" Mrs. Liu gave Xiao Zhen another large dish with chopsticks.

"In the middle of next month, I should go back to the countryside. By the way, sister-in-law, I'll trouble you to take those students to the embroidery workshop." Naturally, Xiao Zhen has not forgotten the purpose of this trip. Now Ren Jinxiu is probably in the palace.

She won't leave the palace for the next two days, so it falls on her to take the students to the embroidery workshop for exchanges.

"Don't worry, I've already asked students to take the students to visit the embroidery workshop early in the morning."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Why do you want to thank me?" Mrs. Liu said cheerfully.

After dinner, Xiao Zhen just entered the courtyard, and Wu Yin and Zhao Jie also walked in.

"Sister, I saw you were absent-minded while eating. Did something happen?" Wu Yin asked with concern.

Xiao Zhen sat on the stone bench. A girl had already brought her tea and fruits. The girl poured tea for the three of them and then left.

Wu Yin and Zhao Jie also sat down and took tea to moisten their mouths.

Xiao Zhen then told about his assassination in the afternoon.

"What? Someone actually wants to kill you?" Zhao Jie seemed to have heard something ridiculous: "Who is so bold?"

"I just returned home yesterday, and the only people I offended were in the palace." Xiao Zhen took a sip of tea, "It's obvious who wants to kill me."

"Concubine Xing? No, no," Wu Yin denied his guess: "Although she has some power in the palace, she shouldn't be able to support a killer. Concubine Ning? Is it from the Ning family?"

Xiao Zhen continued to drink her tea without saying anything.

Zhao Jie thought for a while and said: "The Ning family is the natal family of the late Queen Mother. They know something about my sister. If they have such courage, they will not just make things difficult for the emperor and depose the queen, but will directly let the emperor

Waste Yao'er."

"I still can't figure out why the emperor is so afraid of the Ning family? The emperor now has the power and the treasury is full, so why does he care about the Ning family so much?" Wu Yin had been thinking about this problem last night.

Xiao Zhen poured himself more tea and then said: "The emperor is not afraid of the Ning family, but wants to cultivate the Ning family. Otherwise, we, the Han family, may be the only ones in this court."

"You really have a white-eyed wolf." Zhao Jie said bitterly.

"There has always been a lot of suspicion in the emperor's family. No one is right or wrong, as long as he treats Yao'er well." Xiao Zhen had already figured this out.

"If it's not Concubine Ning, who else has my sister offended?" Wu Yin asked doubtfully, "Did something happen to my sister on her way to the capital?"

"No."

"Who could that be?"

Xiao Zhen smiled faintly: "Don't you wonder how a little palace maid climbed up to the position of Concubine Xing step by step?"

Wu Yin snorted coldly: "Didn't you say that the emperor likes her?"

"There is always no shortage of beauties in the harem. Why did the emperor just fall in love with a little palace maid?"

"Is there something wrong with it?" Wu Yin and Zhao Jie pondered. It was really strange for their sister to say that. Wu Yin said: "Concubine Xing is also a strange person. She grows vegetables in the palace.

, luckily she can think of it."

"Sister, what exactly did you think of?"

“I suspect that Concubine Xing’s step by step from palace maid to concubine was due to someone’s instigation, and this person knew the emperor very well, so that a little palace maid could gain the emperor’s favor and climb to the position of Concubine Xing in just a few years.

." After the attack, she thought about it and couldn't figure out who wanted to kill her, the Ning family? No, the elders of the Ning family are still alive.

They knew who she was, and even if they wanted to kill her, at least they didn't have the guts now. Xiao Zhen said again: "Just as the emperor doesn't want our family to be the only one, the person behind Concubine Xing doesn't want the harem to be the sole responsibility of Yao'er's family."

Da. Ahua and Yu'er have gained power in the court, and the harem respects Yao'er. From the perspective of outsiders, the entire court is in our hands."

"The Queen Mother?" Wu Yin and Zhao Jie said in unison.

"Who else could be there besides her? But she wouldn't send someone to kill me." Xiao Zhen dipped his hand in the water in the cup and drew a figure on the stone table: "This is what I saw on the killer.

The graphic I received, can you please check which organization in Jianghu it belongs to?"

"good."

"By the way, is there anyone coming to see you today?" Xiao Zhen asked.

"No."

"You go to the mountain next to the Emperor's Tomb on the Emperor's Mountain to find a small village. There are more than a dozen families living in the village. They should be soldiers who survived the Rebellion of King Rui. Go and ask them if they need your help.

"

"Didn't the soldiers at that time receive a pardon and allow them to go home and reunite with their relatives? Why did they appear in Emperor Mountain?" Zhao Jie asked puzzledly.
