Chapter 54: The Mastermind Behind the Assassination
Hurriedly saying goodbye to Lu Jinchen, Song Huaijin breathed a long sigh of relief to relax himself, and prepared to go back to Huaijin Garden to rest.
What happened in the palace today was enough for her to be upset, but as soon as she walked to the door, she listened to Lu Jinhe with a little charm. A confused voice came:
"Baby, do you really like this candy? How about I feed you? ”
Song Huaijin's heart tightened, and he pushed open the door with a "bang", just as he saw Lu Jinhe meaningfully holding a piece of candy and wanting to feed it to Zhao Yiheng mouth-to-mouth.
Her brain exploded!
These people in the capital are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have to make nine turns and eighteen turns even to say a word, and she will only suffer by herself, and she must not pull Zhao Yiheng in.
"Yiheng!"
She subconsciously screamed, took a few steps and pulled Zhao Yiheng behind her, and continued to look at Lu Jinhe with a smile:
"I don't know that the princess has arrived, Huai Jin has missed the distance, I hope I ask for forgiveness."
Lu Jinhe glanced at her happily, bowed his head slightly reluctantly, and sat back at the table.
Song Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Zhao Yiheng and said, "You go to practice the sword first, I'll bring you candy in a while." ”
"Hmm!" As soon as Zhao Yiheng turned around, he heard Lu Jinhe call him with interest: "Baby, I'll come to see you next time~"
Song Huaijin's scalp was numb for a while, and he hurriedly pushed Zhao Yiheng away, and bowed his head to serve tea to Lu Jinhe.
Who would have thought that it was just a moment, and when he looked up again, Lu Jinhe's expression had completely dimmed, and he even had a little embarrassment for the rest of his life.
Song Huaijin quipped: "What? I'm not as good-looking as him? ”
"you, what do you have to look at." Lu Jinhe took the tea with an unhappy expression, took a sip before relieving himself slightly: "Why don't you help me in the palace?" ”
"What, why?"
"Don't play dumb on me, you know what I'm trying to ask?"
Seeing that Lu Jinhe was so aggressive, he had to get to the bottom of it, Song Huaijin simply said: "It's not that I don't help the princess, it's that you don't trust me!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you trusted me, you wouldn't have poisoned both the needle and the cup, am I right?"
Lu Jinhe was stunned for a moment, and was speechless by her two words.
Song Huaijin continued: "Princess, if you want to achieve your goal and you can't trust your partner 100%, I'm sorry, I have no intention and no power to help. ”
If Song Huaijin wants to, she can also speak without distinguishing between truth and falsehood, which makes people confused.
Xu couldn't see anything in her eyes, Lu Jinhe didn't continue to ask, leaned back on the chair in frustration, tilted his head and looked at her weakly.
After a long time, he tentatively spoke: "Are you really sure to win against Imperial Doctor Zhou?" ”
That's what she's here for.
"The princess wants me to win?" Song Huaijin didn't answer the rhetorical question, and carefully observed Lu Jinhe's expression, although the expression was fleeting, she was still caught by her.
The moment she said "win", Lu Jinhe's pupils shrank significantly.
Sure enough, Lu Jinhe said: "Yes, I don't like that person surnamed Zhou, he is too weird, and I always think... Some are dangerous. ”
Dangerous?
Yes, Song Huaijin also feels this way for Imperial Physician Zhou, and not only Imperial Physician Zhou, but the entire capital makes her feel full of danger.
Lu Jinhe took another sip of tea before getting up, turned to Song Huaijin's eyes with more firmness, and said word by word:
"I want you to win! I won't give the prince a chance to do anything, you can rest assured to go and compete! ”
"Thank you, princess!"
"Remember, cure my father, otherwise, I won't let you go!"
"Yes!" When Song Huaijin looked up, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the loneliness in Lu Jinhe's eyes, and thought, Nuoda's capital, I am afraid that only she is sincere to Emperor Pingchu, so she is so favored.
And those ostensibly obedient princes must have wished for him to die.
"Princess, be careful!"
Song Huaijin suddenly screamed and immediately threw down Lu Jinhe.
Without warning, a sharp arrow grazed their hair, and with a "Teng" sound, it shot straight through the screen in the room and nailed it to the wall.
Outside the window, there seemed to be a figure haunting, and the person missed a blow, and he didn't fight, and immediately disappeared without a trace.
Song Huaijin tried to stabilize his mind and helped Lu Jinhe to get up, looked at the sharp arrow with palpitations, and then pulled it out and looked at the arrow carefully, and the whole back instantly straightened - the arrow was poisonous.
Lu Jinhe smiled bitterly: "Look, Lu Jinchen and I are so incompatible, and we are thinking about how to bite each other to death every day." ”
With a "boom", Song Huaijin had the feeling of breaking a boulder in his chest, and he was not scared to death by the cold arrow, but he was almost knocked out by Lu Jinhe's words.
Lu Jinchen...
Didn't Lu Jinchen go back? Why did he send someone to shoot arrows at Lu Jinhe.
"Forget it, I'm leaving."
"Princess..."Song Huaijin's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think about things at all, but instinctively grabbed her and said, "The road is dangerous, I'll let Zhao Yiheng send you out." ”
Lu Jinhe Dengshi came to the spirit and readily agreed.
After sending Lu Jinhe away, Song Huaijin was still upset, and Bai Suran came to persuade her to eat several times, but she refused.
Obviously very tired, lying on the couch at night still lost sleep.
She stared blankly at the snow-white bed tent under the moonlight, and couldn't help but go through all the rapid things that happened today in her mind, the most suspicious thing was the person who assassinated Emperor Pingchu, who would send it?
The more Song Huaijin thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and picked up a few fruits on the table and began to fiddle with them - this apple was Emperor Pingchu; This orange is Lu Jinchen; This banana is Lu Jinao; This mango is an assassin.
Looking at Lu Jinao's embarrassed appearance and frightened eyes today, it was probably not him who did it, otherwise how could he be stupid enough to agree to Emperor Pingchu to investigate this matter.
But if it wasn't for Lu Jinao, who would it be? Is it Emperor Pingchu himself?
No, if it was him, how could he be so frightened that his face turned pale and he vomited blood and fell to the ground?
So that's what does it...
Song Huaijin's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he picked up the orange representing Lu Jinchen in disbelief.
Could it be Lu Jinchen?
She tried to control herself not to think in that direction, but some things were like that, and the more she controlled them, the more she couldn't control them.
If the assassin was really arranged by Lu Jinchen, he deliberately used the knife to arouse Emperor Pingchu's suspicion and sympathy for him, and he must have arranged the back hand, and at that time, Lu Jinao's IQ would definitely not be able to find out that it was him.
And he can not only pull Lu Jinao off the horse, but also gain the guilt and respect of Emperor Pingchu at the same time.
Song Huaijin unconsciously took a deep breath, all the faces that Lu Jinchen showed her were not like this, it was a big boy who was a little bit of a city, a little sunny, and occasionally a little scoundrel, but he was kind to others...
And she also sympathized with Lu Jinchen's situation, but everything was already under his control.
At that moment, Song Huaijin felt fear for a person's deep mind for the first time.
But if Lu Jinchen wants to pull Lu Jinao off the horse, there can be many more convenient and less risky ways, why do you have to make such a fuss with such fanfare, it seems...
It seems that he deliberately doesn't want everyone to have a good time.
She remembered that he was not like this in Anling before, was she not aware of him well before, or had he experienced something in the past six months?
Moreover, the jade seal he worked so hard to get has never been mentioned to this day, and what is it for?
Song Huaijin was puzzled, feeling that his head was about to explode if he thought about it again, and the door opened with a "squeak-" sound, and Zhao Yiheng took a small bag in his hand and pushed the door in.
