Chapter 163: Perfect Reputation
She can't do cold-blooded things for her people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If the other Helian people died right under her nose, what was the point of her living alone?
Her initial thought about this incident was that even if it could not be saved, it could not be harmed.
Xiao Huai lowered his eyes to look at her for a long time, and his gaze suddenly became dark.
"Are you so sure that this assassin must be your Helian?"
Shen Xi raised his head, condensed his eyebrows and said, "I originally thought so, but now, I don't think so." ”
"Tell me. Xiao Huai came over.
Shen Xi groaned, and at the end he collapsed his shoulders again: "I can't tell." ”
By all indications, the odds of the Assassin being a Helian were slim. But to be sure that it is not, she has no evidence.
Xiao Huai didn't answer, walked to the back of the case and sat down, and said, "Where did you get this news from?"
Shen Xi didn't know how to tell him, and after pondering for a moment, she stepped forward and sat next to him: "If I say that there are people in the world who have lived twice, and her previous life was like this, will you think that I am lying to you and want to kill me?"
Xiao Huai squinted at her and said, "Don't worry, if you make up a flower now, I won't believe it." ”
Shen Xi took a deep breath and stopped talking.
Xiao Huai didn't speak again, he didn't know what he was thinking, and there was coldness between his eyebrows and eyes.
At this time, Su Yan walked in: "Lord Helan is here." ”
Xiao Huai nodded slightly, and after a pause, he looked at her and said, "You go out first, I still have important matters." ”
Shen Xi hurriedly stood up.
After only taking two steps, Xiao Huai suddenly said again: "The guards will escort you to the Qianqing Palace."
"Song Jiao has a grudge against me because of the previous marriage proposal, and it is hard to guarantee that I will not be cranky when I see you coming to look for me. Seeing that you have been cleaned up by me, her heart will be somewhat balanced. ”
He had long inquired about what Song Jiao was, and if there was no assassination, he could rest assured, after all, she Shen Xi was not a soft-footed shrimp.
But since this matter is important, and Song Jiao has to try to clear herself, then it is difficult to guarantee that she will not talk nonsense in front of Huo Jiu.
Although Huo Zhen is not a fool, it is better to have more than one thing.
As long as the news of Shen Xi's vicious punishment by him reaches her ears, she will stop a lot.
It was rare for Shen Xi to see him say so many things at one time, and he was stunned for a while.
How did it sound like I was explaining to her......
"Don't worry. was stunned, Xiao Huai stood up again, looked at her slightly red and swollen chin and said: "You are now also a person from my Zhaoyang Palace, if she recruits you, you will be like in front of Helan and bring out your identity in Qionghuatai." ”
Shen Xi didn't care about Song Jiao, but also nodded.
Then he raised his head again: "Didn't the prince never reveal the matter of Qionghuatai to the outside world?"
If she shakes this identity out, won't he be able to hide it?
Xiao Huai was silent.
didn't reveal it, didn't you say that you would keep her from dying for ten years!
He is a hero and has a perfect reputation, so he doesn't want to leave a word without a word because of just one her.
Shen Xi saw the lack of anger in his eyes, and lowered his head with a smile.
When she didn't know that she was using her as a guise to deal with Song Jiao! But it's okay, anyway, Song Jiao doesn't look like she will treat her as a friend, so she just pretends to be confused.
"Then I'll quit first. ”
She bowed and went out.
came out of the door here, and happened to meet Helan Chen under the door.
Helan stopped and looked at her, didn't say anything, and went straight into the hall.
Xiao Huai was waiting for him under the curtain.
As he spoke, he unfolded the scroll in his hand and brought it to him.
"Song Jiao has already drawn the portrait of the eunuch. The Assassin had already been poisoned.
"Besides, he had no weapons other than the dagger and the poison hidden between his teeth, and his blood was crimson with no obvious Helian features.
"So maybe your guess is right, we people just sang a scene together. ”
There was no surprise on Xiao Huai's face.
He shook the wine in his glass, lowered his eyes to look at the scroll, and his face turned a little cold in the rippling light of wine.
Helan waited until he took his gaze back before rolling up the painting.
"Song Jiao should have nothing to do with the assassins. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so arrogant. But judging from the fact that she was used so easily, this person obviously knew her very well. ”
Xiao Huai walked to the window with a cup and said, "There are too many doubts, why not stop this?"
"Song Jiao was sent by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother knew in advance that I was also in the Qianqing Palace.
"It's only been long since she and I proposed marriage, and Han Dun has obviously been squeezed by me, in this case, why does she have to send Song Jiao over to create embarrassment?
"And Han Dun was not angry about the Queen Mother's arrangement, and Song Jiao's gaffe in front of me was calm.
"Besides, Su Yan came to report that she broke into the Ziyao Palace to make trouble, why didn't he go to see it in person for such an important matter?
"It's not that he didn't go, but he didn't even have the slightest intention of going. ”
Helan nodded when he heard this: "In addition, under our heavy checks, it is also suspicious that an assassin can actually sneak into the Qianqing Palace. ”
Xiao Huai took a sip of wine and said, "The knife that fell on Shen Ruopu's arm doesn't look like the hand of an assassin. ”
Shen Ruopu is just a civil official, no matter how quickly he avoids it, if the assassin came with the purpose of assassination, how could he only leave such a big wound?
When he saw the wound on his arm, he was already suspicious.
Of course, for a moment, he also felt that Shen Xi's behavior was suspicious, but if he said that she had something to do with assassins, he really couldn't believe it.
Bringing her over, although he was a little angry, was far from enough to make him be cruel to her.
"But Shen Shilang's appearance today made their abacus empty. ”
Helan Chen sat down opposite him and poured a glass of wine, "If it is Han Dun who rescues the driver today, then it will not be long before he climbs up again."
"When he is ranked as the third prince and gradually able to control the court, I am afraid that the day of dismantling the Yan Wangfu will not be far away. ”
The hall fell silent, and gradually only the sound of wine falling into the bottom of the glass could be heard.
Shen Xi was "escorted" by the purple-clothed guards back to the Qianqing Palace, and order had been restored here, although there was no sign of slackening in the defense, but it was no longer chaotic.
Shen Yan and the others all stood under the corridor with their silks, their eyes lit up when they saw her, but when they saw the guards behind her, they were all stunned again.
"Girl!" Pearl's face turned pale.
Shen Xi first turned his head to look at the hall, what was going on in it was not clear, but it was very quiet. Thinking about it, the situation is completely under control, and there is no chaos.
"What about the old lady?" she asked.
Seeing that the guards had retreated, Pearl immediately said, "Accompanying the emperor in the palace! Han Ge Lao and the Queen Mother are also there." ”
