Qingping Painting Workshop.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this person is indeed a spy from the Qian Kingdom. The abrasion marks on his palms are exactly the same as the person he killed that day in a private house where gunpowder was hidden."

After checking the bearded man, Tongzhuo turned back to Li Jingyao and said respectfully.

Hearing Tong Zhuo's affirmative reply, Li Jingyao's face instantly darkened, and she looked coldly at Lu Qingshu who was not far away.

The shopkeeper of the art studio who was kneeling on the ground had already fainted with fright. He never imagined that there was actually a secret agent of the Qian Kingdom hiding in his art studio, and he also encountered the scene of the secret agent and the son of the Minister of War. He felt that He is dead.

"How dare you, Lu Qingshu, collude with Qian Guo's spies! Do you know that this is a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason! Are your Lu family going to rebel?!"

Li Jingyao glared at Lu Qingshu and shouted sternly.

Considering that Lu Qingshu's father is still the Minister of War, if this matter is not revealed in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Your Highness! Qingshu is wronged! He is wronged!"

"This is all...it must be his fault! It must be him!"

Lu Qingshu cried and pleaded, and finally looked at Li Wuji who was standing next to Li Jingyao and said angrily.

"Now that things have happened, you still dare to speak lies?!"

"Unjustly accused?! If you are unjustly accused, why are you here doing this compromising thing with Qian Guo's spies?! It's not only obscene, but also a crime worthy of death!"

Li Jingyao stared at Lu Qingshu and scolded with dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness, I don't know why it's like this! But I swear to God, I am really unjust!"

"My entourage told me that His Highness Taiqing would come to this painting studio today, so Qing Shu came here. You must believe me!"

Lu Qingshu shook his head and was still trying to defend himself, because he really didn't know what happened, let alone how he and the bearded man staged such a disgusting show.

"How did your entourage know that I will be here today?!"

Li Jingyao's face darkened and she asked coldly.

"he..."

"He...maybe he heard it from somewhere..."

Lu Qingshu was stunned for a moment and suddenly didn't know how to explain it.

"Where are they now?!"

Li Jingyao asked sharply.

"Just...in this painting studio..."

Lu Qingshu hesitated and finally said hesitantly.

"Tongzhuo!"

Li Jingyao said in a deep voice, winked at Tong Zhuo, then turned to face the door, not wanting to see the naked Lu Qingshu again.

Li Wuji, on the other hand, stood idle at the door, looking at the helpless Lu Qingshu, and even had a playful smile on his lips.

Lu Qingshu saw the smile on Li Wuji's lips and hesitated to understand something. However, without any evidence to prove that this matter was related to Li Wuji, he could only glare at Li Wuji with resentment in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I have searched and found that there is no such attendant as he mentioned in the studio."

Soon, Tong Zhuo rushed back and said respectfully.

"What else do you have to say?!"

Li Jingyao glanced sideways into the room and asked coldly.

"He was clearly still there just now... He must have left for something... Your Highness, can you wait a little longer? Or I can go find him myself!"

Lu Qingshu begged and said.

"Master Lu, are you trying to stall for time and wait for your father to come and rescue you? I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

"It would be disrespectful to shift the responsibility to a small attendant when something goes wrong. This person should have told you the whereabouts of Taiqing, right?"

"Tell me, what do you want to do to His Highness?!"

At this moment, Li Wuji, who had been silent, spoke again and asked coldly.

"Marquis Liyang! Don't add insult to injury! I think this is all your conspiracy!"

Lu Qingshu glared at Li Wuji angrily and said harshly.

"You and I have no grievances. We only met once in His Highness's East Palace. Why should I harm you?"

Li Wuji looked at Lu Qingshu with an innocent face and asked in confusion.

Lu Qingshu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer, because he had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Li Wuji, and he had even decided to get rid of Li Wuji.

He couldn't admit that it was because he sent people to kill the little prince, intending to blame Marquis Liyang. Marquis Liyang would retaliate against him after knowing the inside story, right?

"Lü Qingshu's collusion with Qianguo secret agents is already a crime of treason! Arrest him and send him to the Five Elements Division!"

"In addition, according to an oral decree from this palace, the Lu family is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. The Department of Five Elements is ordered to seize the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and arrest all the officials!"

Li Jingyao flicked her sleeves and commanded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Lu Qingshu's face instantly turned pale. He struggled to crawl toward the door, grabbed Li Jingyao's legs, begged, and tried his best to defend himself:

"Your Highness, it's unjust! Qingshu is really unjust!"

"I lied just now. My entourage didn't tell me. It was a complete coincidence that I met His Highness!"

"This matter has nothing to do with my father or the Lu family..."

"I really don't know this person..."

"Your Highness, please spare your life!"

Desperate Lu Qingshu pulled Li Jingyao's leg while explaining incoherently and emotionally.

Under Lu Qingshu's endless shaking, Li Jingyao's face became increasingly gloomy, and she seemed to have reached the point where she could no longer bear it.

"Your Highness...please..."

Lu Qingshu seemed to have realized that he could not break the situation and was destined to die, so he wanted to take everything on his own. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Jingyao suddenly turned around and struck out with a palm, directly hitting Lu Qingshu's Tianling. superior!

A muffled groan came, and Lu Qingshu's movements and words suddenly stopped. Blood slowly flowed out from his seven orifices, and he fell straight backwards!

Li Jingyao was so angry that she killed Lu Qingshu with one palm!

Seeing this scene, Li Wuji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows!

In fact, from the first time he met Li Jingyao, he had already seen that Li Jingyao was good at martial arts, but he didn't expect that Li Jingyao was so decisive at this time! He didn't hesitate to take action!

"Send orders to the Five Elements Department to bring the spy's body back and examine his true identity! No one from the Lu family is allowed to be let go!"

Li Jingyao said something coldly, stopped lingering, and walked straight out.

Tongzhuo agreed and immediately followed quickly.

Li Wuji glanced at the two naked corpses on the ground, curled his lips, and turned around to leave.

He had long found out that the mastermind behind the killing of the little prince was Lu Qingshu. From that moment on, he had decided to make the entire Lu family pay the price!

Five miles away from the capital.

In a forest, a dozen people who were tied up were all kneeling on the ground, their eyes were blindfolded, their mouths were blocked, and they were all trembling.

There were more than a dozen people holding weapons standing around, looking coldly at the people kneeling on the ground.

The leader, who is tall and strong, is none other than Di Long!

"If you want to blame me, I can only blame you for being with the wrong person. You deserve this calamity in your life!"

"Kill him!"

Di Long glanced at the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground and said coldly.

After hearing Di Long's words, more than a dozen people on the ground struggled and kept making "wuwu" sounds, as if begging for mercy.

But Dillon ignored it and turned around and walked out of the woods.

When a dozen men holding weapons heard Di Long's order, they stepped forward, pulled out their weapons, and wiped off everyone's necks!

Immediately afterwards, they threw the body into a deep pit that had been dug aside and buried it on the spot, quickly and without any sympathy.

Soon, everyone cleared away the traces of the scene and quickly walked out of the woods. After meeting up with Di Long who had been waiting outside the woods, they returned to the direction of the capital.

Those who were killed were the thugs that Lu Qingshu secretly arranged to enter Qingping Painting Studio with the intention of assassinating Li Wuji!

However, the missing Ah Er was not among them.

...

Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion.

Leng Yue personally led the team and broke in directly. All those who blocked the resistance were killed on the spot without mercy!

Lu Zhengping, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who heard the commotion, hurriedly ran out. After seeing the servant of the mansion died tragically in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but froze, and then looked angrily at the murderous Leng Yue.

"Leng Zhenfu, what do you mean by this?!"

"Although the Five Elements Department is independent of the Six Ministries and only listens to His Majesty's orders, I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, with a first-rank official position! How can you just bring people in and kill people in public?!"

"Do you still have royal law in your eyes?! I must go to His Majesty to ask for an explanation!"

Lu Zhengping stared at Leng Yue and asked sternly with dissatisfaction.

"Catch! Don't let anyone go!"
