Chapter 112: Action (1)
After Yu Chimu and Chi Xiaoman returned to the Huai'an Palace, they received a message from the shadow lurking in the palace.
In the Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Wei Chi Mubing retired from the slaves, and only then did he unfold the letter he obtained from Lin Ruo.
According to the results of the investigation of Xie Mingzang and Xie Mingfeng, the assassins who came to the palace to assassinate him on the night of the wedding were indeed related to Concubine Xiao and Yu Chixin.
"How?" Chi Xiaoman asked after Yu Chimu read the letter. She couldn't see the reason from the look on his face, because his expression was neither shocked nor angry, but completely expressionless.
"As we thought, the masterminds are Wei Chixin and Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Xiao said that she was going to Dayuan Temple today because she was sick in order to meet the assassin who left a letter and framed the prince. Wei Chimu said thoughtfully.
"Oh, she's so bold to make an appointment to meet in the palace. Do you know who that assassin is?" Although Xiao Man still thought that the assassin was Wei Chimu's master Fang Qi in his heart, it was difficult to say it directly.
"I don't know, this is the thorn portrait drawn by Ming Feng. Yu Chimu handed the letter to Xiao Man.
Xiao Man glanced at the portrait above and frowned. The person in the painting is not Fang Qi, and he looks extremely ordinary, so ordinary that he can't attract people's attention at all when placed in the crowd.
After reading the portrait, she took a cursory look at the contents of the letter, and said with some surprise: "Mu ...... The letter said that the assassin was directly called the fifth prince Xin'er, don't you think there is some mystery in this?"
"I'm thinking about that, too. Yu Chi Mu smiled and said, "It seems that the assassin should be Concubine Xiao's relative, Yu Chi Xin's elder. ”
"Among Concubine Xiao's mother's relatives, is there anyone with such strong martial arts?" Chi Xiaoman was quite skeptical, because the assassin's martial arts were quite high, if there was such a person in Concubine Xiao's family, and he was willing to take such a big risk to assassinate King Huai'an, frame the prince, and now even poison the prince, it must be Concubine Xiao's close relatives, but the person in the portrait has no resemblance to Concubine Xiao at all.
"I don't know, maybe that person is not from the martial arts, and he is very hidden. Yu Chimu said.
"Hmm......" Chi Xiaoman responded, muttered for a while and said, "Mu, can Master know the art of disguise?"
Yu Chimu was stunned for a moment, nodded his head, but said with a not very good-looking face: "You still suspect that the assassin is the master?"
"I know you're going to be unhappy, I'm just asking, think about it, the person on this painting doesn't look like Concubine Xiao at all, although relatives don't necessarily see that they are relatives, but they are willing to take such a big risk to do these things for Concubine Xiao and the five princes, they must be close relatives, but if they are close relatives, the appearance of this assassin is too ordinary, and it is far from Concubine Xiao's appearance, so I don't think it is Concubine Xiao's relatives." Chi Xiaoman glanced at Wei Chimu, whose face was still not good, and continued: "It's normal for people with superb medical skills to be good at poison......ing, right? It's hard not to think about Master. ”
"According to what you say, are you suspecting that Master and Concubine Xiao are having an affair?"
Chi Xiaoman pursed his lower lip and said, "I'm just guessing behind closed doors, if it's not for the master, it won't hurt the master's reputation at all." ”
Hmph, who is showing her face to! Seriously, she just thinks that Fang Qi and Concubine Xiao are having an affair. She had long felt that Yu Chixin and Emperor Jinglie didn't look like each other at all, maybe this fifth prince was really the son of Concubine Xiao and Fang Qi.
"Don't speculate, don't ask about this matter, I'll investigate it. Yu Chimu pursed his lips and said.
"Okay. Chi Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders. She could understand that he didn't want to believe that his master was like that, but she believed that her guesses were correct, and maybe she should do something and find evidence to prove her case.

At night, the crown prince Chi Hao returned to the prince's mansion from the palace in a rage. He had already learned from his father that the people who blamed him were Concubine Xiao and Wei Chi Xin, and they even wanted to send assassins to kill him?
"Your Highness, why are you so angry?" Cheng Yin asked with concern when she saw Wei Chi Hao coming back with a gloomy face.
Her lower abdomen is now slightly raised, quite pregnant, and she walks very carefully.
Yu Chihao stepped forward to help her, "Why did you come out and not rest in the room?"
Since he learned that Cheng Yin had a child, he no longer doubted that she was still thinking about King Huai'an in her heart, and he relayed the words of Tianji Xingchi Xiaoman from her mouth, and learned that King Huai'an had no intention of competing for the crown prince, so now he is not busy dealing with Yu Chimu.
"After dinner, His Highness has not returned, and the concubine has come out to take a look. Is there something going on in the palace?" During this period of time, Wei Chi Hao went to her room every day to eat, so when she saw that he had not returned today, she came to the front hall to wait for someone.
"Hmph! someone is looking for death!" "Yu Chi Hao told him that Yu Chi Xin and Concubine Xiao had designed to blame him, and wanted to send assassins to assassinate him.
"Ah......" Cheng Yin snorted, quite surprised. But think about it, didn't Wei Chi Hao always send people to assassinate Yu Chi Mu at the beginning? Now it is not surprising that Wei Chi Xin has done such a thing. Alas...... Born in the royal family, it is like this, and you can never get rid of the struggle of deceit.
Yu Chi Hao held her soft smile and said, "Don't worry, my father has already allocated me twenty masters in the inner circle, and there are five other secret lieutenants to protect me secretly." If that Assassin dares to come and assassinate him, he will not be able to come and go!"
Cheng Yin bent her lips and smiled softly, but she still had an ominous premonition in her heart for some reason. (To be continued......)
