Whether it is a specially enthroned king of a different surname or a relative of an emperor, there are only twenty princes of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Right, unrighteous, close, alienated...

There are princes who are as ambitious as Ji Zhonghai, and there are princes who are as low-key and mediocre as King Dongyuan.

But there are very few princes as cowardly as King Yun Zheng.

They are afraid of the court, the censors, the Western Factory, the Mingwei, and the Heaven and Earth... They are even a coward in front of their own wives.

So even the Queen Mother couldn't stand it anymore.

He even gave the other party a bamboo pole to tie it to King Yun Zheng to his back and straighten his back so that he should not insult the title of "Prince".

However, who would have thought that the bamboo pole was also bent by King Yun Zheng.

It caused countless ridicule and jokes.

Bai Xianyu thought that the other party was here to apologize, but never expected that the other party would kneel in front of her.

You are the prince.

You represent the majesty of the royal family.

It’s so sensible to kneel down to others so easily.

Bai Xianyu's face suddenly changed and he quickly flashed aside: "Prince, what are you doing? Why did you kneel down again? Please get up quickly. If you are seen by someone with a heart, you will definitely cause criticism."

King Yun Zheng said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhuque, I have no choice but to save me this time."

"You get up first and then talk."

Bai Xianyu frowned and saw that the other party could not get up at all, so he had no choice but to signal the guard at the door to pull him up.

King Yun Zheng was helped sit on a chair.

This old man with gray hair and hunched body is like a twilight year, always looking humble, no different from the old man who buys big cakes on the street.

Bai Xianyu asked in confusion: "Prince, what happened? Is someone threatening you?"

"It's more than just a threat, I almost died last night."

King Yun Zheng shivered, as if he had remembered something terrifying, and his face began to turn pale.

Lost your head?

Bai Xianyu's expression became serious.

No matter how cowardly King Yun Zheng is, he is still the prince after all. If someone really assassinated him, it would be a big deal.

"Prince, can you explain in detail?"

Bai Xianyu signaled his personal guards to serve tea and said lightly.

King Yun Zheng trembledly took out a note of paper and rivet hidden weapon from his arms and handed it to Bai Xianyu: "Mr. Zhuque, I was resting last night. I suddenly felt a chill in my neck. After I woke up, I found that there was a hidden weapon on my pillow, and there was a note on it. It was almost a little bit, and I was dead."

Bai Xianyu took the note and looked down.

There is only a crooked line of words on it: The Nine Phoenix Coffin is handed over within three days and placed under the Yuexin Lake, otherwise the royal palace will be destroyed.

Nine Phoenix Coffin...

A strange color appeared in the woman's eyes.

Bai Xianyu has heard of the "Nine Phoenix Coffin". It is said that this was a coffin made by Emperor Tianqi for a deceased concubine.

The Yin-Yang Sect imprints the life and death pattern and is protected by the dragon energy.

However, in the end, because the coffin Chun was more solemn than the queen, there were too many officials who advised him. In the end, Emperor Tianqi gave up and gave it to the Yunzheng Palace, which has been preserved until now.

Speaking of which, the Nine Phoenix Coffin is also a symbolic sacred object of the Yunzheng Palace.

This made Bai Xianyu very confused.

It's just a coffin, why did this assassin ask for it so blatantly?

"Prince, where is the Jiufeng Coffin now?"

Bai Xianyu asked.

King Yun Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied honestly: "It's in the tomb at the foot of the mountain behind the south courtyard of our palace. It has been kept for so many years. I don't know who has set his sights on it and what he wants it to do."

"Have the prince messed with any enemies recently?"

"How could there be an enemy? Even if I don't provoke me, there are still many bad people who come to harm me for no reason."

Speaking of this, King Yunzheng sighed. "Let's not talk about the thieves in the world. There are some thieves in this Dongzhou City. My Prince Yunzheng's Mansion is like a hot commodity that anyone can taste. People often come to the door."

Bai Xianyu was speechless for a moment.

The prince is cowardly enough to be so good.

She moved her mind slightly and asked again: "Why don't you go to the government office to find Lord Du?"

"he?"

King Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's not that I am prejudiced to Lord Du, but he doesn't pay much attention to me. Two years ago, the thieves from the Tiandihui invaded my house. I have asked him to send more people to protect him several times, but Lord Du always talks about it.

Now I can only ask you for help. After all, you are the Suzaku Envoy of the Underworld Guard, and you are different from Lord Du. I hope you can help me no matter what.

At this time, King Yun Zheng almost wrote five words on his forehead: Help the child.

Bai Xianyu fell into deep thought.

Although Dongzhou City is mixed with fish and dragons, few people really have the courage to provoke the royal family, let alone put down their ruthless words and say they want to destroy the family.

If the royal mansion is really destroyed, it would be a waste of death.

Bai Xianyu slowly clenched the note with his hand and said to King Yun Zheng: "Prince, please rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly."

"No, you can't just investigate."

King Yun Zheng was a little anxious, "Now my life is still threatened. If Lord Zhuque investigates slowly, I and my family are afraid that they will be gone."

Looking at the other party's panic and anxious look, Bai Xianyu comforted:

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be afraid. Maybe the people behind the scenes are just scaring you. After all, you are also the prince. I really don't believe anyone has such a courage to destroy the prince's house."

However, this comfort did not work at all.

King Yun Zheng pointed to the shallow blood marks in his neck and said, "Look, the assassin's hidden weapon almost killed me. He could kill me the first time, and he could kill me the second time. The guards in my palace were all for money, so we can't expect them to block the assassin.

Lord Zhuque, I beg you, this person’s life is only one. If you say it’s gone, then it’s really gone.”

King Yun Zheng bowed and begged.

Obviously, this prince was really frightened.

Seeing that the prince was about to kneel down again, Bai Xianyu hurriedly said, "Then what do you think you should do."

King Yun Zheng thought for a while and whispered: "Why don't we send the Jiufeng Coffin to the designated place as the assassin first, and it will not be too late to investigate slowly when it falls. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Bai Xianyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The eyes of the other person are filled with contempt.

The assassin just scared him casually, good guy, this prince was ready to do whatever he wanted, which was so embarrassing.

Moreover, the Nine Phoenix Coffin is placed in the tomb, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing spirits.

Just give it to the enemy like this, I am afraid that the ancestors underground will all jump out of the coffin and curse.

"Since the prince has made a decision, why should I come to discuss with me?"

Bai Xianyu said lightly.

Prince Yunzheng waved his hand quickly: "Don't be angry, Lord Zhuque, I am not really compromising with the assassins, but just paralyzing them first. Once such a large coffin is handed over, it is difficult for them to take it, and they will definitely send a lot of people. At that time, if they beat them all in one place, wouldn't they kill two birds with one stone?"

Bai Xianyu rubbed her eyebrows and a sarcastic curve slightly raised in the corner of her lips: "Your Majesty is very calculating."

“Overall, average.”

King Yun Zheng obviously didn't hear that it was a mockery, and he laughed.

He rubbed his hands and continued: "In addition, the purpose of this time is to hope that Lord Zhuque can send more guards to protect me."

Bai Xianyu smiled slightly.

This is probably the prince’s real purpose.

From King Yun Zheng's words just now, it is obvious that he distrusts the government office very much, and the Suzaku Envoy comes from the capital. With her help to protect him, it will be at least much safer, so you don't have to be afraid of being humiliated.

Bai Xianyu's tender and white jade fingers gently pressed against the wooden table and suddenly asked, "Prince, do you know some secrets of Dongzhou City that you are so scared?"

It is obviously unreasonable for a prince to be so cowardly.

There is only one reason.

That is what you may know and live in fear all day long.

King Yun Zheng was stunned, his face changed, and the fear that flashed through his eyes could not escape Bai Xianyu's eyes.

He squeezed out a smile awkwardly: "I don't understand Lord Zhuque's words. I am an ordinary person who stays peacefully in the palace. What can I know? There is no secret to this Dongzhou City."

Looking at the prince who was obviously insincere, Bai Xianyu felt thoughtful.
