The royal driver stayed in Shaanzhou for several days, and the condition of the wounded was probably stable, and the road back to Chang'an was also under the strict control of the prefectures and counties and the garrison to ensure that they were safe and sound.

I heard that the assassins and county commanders of the prefectures and counties along the way patrolled every day, and they did not sleep until they lived, and strictly checked the people who entered and exited the local area, lest they get mixed up with the assassins.

It is no wonder that if the emperor was assassinated again on the way back to Beijing, they would have killed themselves to thank the world without the court asking for the guilt.

On the Chang'an side, the crown prince Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Wuji sent people to express their condolences and asked if they needed to send additional troops to escort them, but Li Shimin refused. With the current strength, as long as you are careful, there will be no more problems.

As for the hunt for the assassins, it was rightfully fruitless.

Just imagine, if you dare to assassinate the emperor, you are naturally fully prepared, and the retreat route is the most important, and it is in the wilderness, how easy is it to catch people?

The investigation of the imperial camp is also nearing the end, and there seems to be no progress on Fang Xuanling's side, as for Xie Yi...... I really found some clues.

First of all, it is a little strange that Li Chonghui is seriously injured, he is the young man of the county prince's mansion, he belongs to the commander, and it should be ordinary guards who fight on the front line when escorting, why should he do it himself?

Such a serious injury seems to be caused by the lack of protection of the guards...... Could it be that he was also one of the targets of the assassination?

Xie Yi just had such a thought in his heart, but he didn't say much.

After all, Fang Xuanling was the presiding officer of the investigation, and he had just had a conflict with Princess Hejian, so it was not appropriate to make such a statement at this time. Although he is not afraid of the Hejian Palace, he doesn't want Liang Zi to knot too deeply.

As for the assassin who stabbed his sister-in-law, Xie Yi examined the body in detail, and there were dozens of large and small wounds on the body. It was probably caused by the fact that the guards were not at ease after they arrived, or they fought for the rescue of the driver and mended the knife together.

Because of this, some important wounds are masked. Xie Yi noticed that one of them was similar to the fatal wound of one of Li Chonghui's guards.

The characteristics of the wounds are similar, such as the wounds are very smooth, and it can be seen that the knife is quickly removed without dragging mud and water; The depth of the wound is just right, which shows that he is a master with proper force and steady shot.

Perhaps it was this knife that prevented the assassin from continuing to commit murder, so that the sister-in-law's wound did not touch the viscera......

Although it is not 100% certain, with other exclusive clues, Xie Yi feels that this conjecture is very likely.

Assassin infighting?

It's not impossible, although the dead assassin's eyes have dimmed, there is a feeling of death. There was a slight incomprehension, unwillingness, and surprise in his expression and demeanor......

Further down, could it be that the assassin's accomplices rescued his sister-in-law? The reason? Could it be that my sister-in-law really has anything to do with the Assassins?

The situation seems to be very complicated.

Xie Yi's mind was slightly confused, and he found that he hadn't told Fang Xuanling about these words, even if it might be tempting to let himself participate in the investigation, he couldn't say it.

When it comes to the safety of your sister-in-law, you must be cautious. It's just that there is always a suspicion, there is a subtle time difference between the sister-in-law being knifed and the guards arriving, who killed the assassin, if someone deliberately delves into this, it is really hard to say whether something will be excavated!

Fortunately, the wounds on my sister-in-law's body were only seen by myself, and even if someone knew about the assassin's infighting and had suspicions, they might not be able to ...... After all, there are many reasons, and it is also possible to kill people and prevent injured accomplices from leaking secrets.

It's just that the risk can't be completely avoided after all, and there may be suspicions, but ...... Have the ability to come up with evidence!

Maybe he was thinking too much about it, and Fang Xuanling didn't seem to find anything. However, the house plot is decisive, do you know if the servant shoots the adult?

Xie Yi didn't know that after he left, an imperial doctor and a Dali Temple servant who came from Chang'an quietly entered the mortuary's tent......

……

Five days later, the royal driver set off again and embarked on the road west to Chang'an.

Li Chonghui was too seriously injured to be bumpy, so he was left in the Shaanzhou Thorn History Mansion to recuperate. To's injuries were no longer serious, so he arranged for a large carriage to lie down in the middle of the rest.

Almost every day, Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang came to visit, and the two royal children were very grateful to their life-saving benefactors. The favorability of the Du family and even the entire Xie family has risen greatly.

This is a good phenomenon, befriending Li Zhi has always been Xie Yi's basic attitude, and judging from the current situation, the progress is much smoother than expected.

In view of the fact that the Du family had to recuperate from his injuries and was unable to take care of Xiaoman, Princess Jinyang even invited Xiaoman to her carriage, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs specially sent an extra nanny to take care of the Xie family's daughter.

In this way, Xie Yi was perfected, taking care of the sick as a doctor, entering and leaving Du's carriage in a grand manner, and having the opportunity to share a car with his sister-in-law and get along alone.

The carriage was not moving fast and was very steady, and Xie Yi was changing the dressing for Du. The wound is from the left shoulder to the chest, so when changing the dressing, it is natural to untie the shirt to expose most of the left chest.

Because of the wound, Du Shi did not wear a close-fitting coat, and the snow-white peaks suddenly came into view, which was quite visually impactful, and Xie Yi couldn't help but tighten his throat.

Du's face was flushed, she had insisted that the palace maid come to change the dressing, but Xie Yi was resolutely opposed. The palace maid doesn't understand medical science, what if she is clumsy and causes infection?

couldn't resist Xie Yi, so this scene couldn't be avoided after all, and Du Shi couldn't help but be embarrassed. The more this is the case, the more Xie Yi will gain an inch, and Du's psychological defense line will collapse unconsciously!

Xie Yi carefully treated the wound, replaced it with gold sore medicine, and saw that the wound had gradually begun to heal; Because of the effect of antibiotics, there are no signs of infection, which is completely reassuring. Then he bandaged the wound with a linen cloth, and his fingers touched his skin, intentionally or unintentionally, especially the half-exposed snow-white peaks.

Du's eyes were completely ignored, so one of the hippies in the carriage restrained his desires with a hippie smile, and the other was embarrassed and shy, and the atmosphere was a little charming and a little strange.

It was a rare opportunity to gain an inch, Xie Yi was not polite at all, and he was not in a hurry to leave after changing the medicine, but sat with Du Shi.

"Saburo ......"

Xie Yi smiled: "What's wrong? Sister-in-law, you've been busy for a while, and you won't let me sit down and rest? ”

Du Shi said softly: "Don't ...... like this"

"And you want to prevaricate me with those high-sounding reasons?"

Du Shi blushed and said, "After all, I am your sister-in-law, it is not good for you to stay here for a long time!" ”

"The point is that just now, I've seen everything I should have seen...... What does it matter if it leaves a little more time to talk? Xie Yi smiled: "As for your identity, I have long wanted to change my words, but you always refuse......"

"I..." Du Shi was a little embarrassed, there was still a trace of anxiety in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "San Lang, why do you ......"

"Embarrass my sister-in-law?" Xie Yi was upright and asked rhetorically; "Ask your own heart, what is it that really bothers you?"

"......" in exchange for a silent answer, of course, is Du's silent answer.

Xie Yi continued: "Actually, it's not that I make it difficult for you, but that you embarrass yourself and embarrass me...... Ask yourself in the depths of your heart, if it's really because you have no feelings for me, or hate me, I'll get out of the car and never mention it again. ”

"San Lang ......" for a moment, Du Shi had the urge to lie, but she still didn't have the courage to disobey her truest intentions after all.

"Look!" Xie Yi smiled lightly and said leisurely: "Although you don't say it, I can feel that you have something on your mind, you have concerns, and I don't know what it is."

But, listen up!

Disasters may not come, so there is no need to worry about them; If you always have to come, you can't hide, whether you are my sister-in-law or my wife, you have to bear it, I bear it, there is no difference.

This point has been doomed since you entered my Xie family many years ago, and now any actions cannot be changed, so why torture yourself and waste time because of this? ”

Du Shi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized a misunderstanding in his thinking. That's right, as long as you are in the Xie family, whether you are with him or not...... After all, it will affect him, and the difference doesn't seem to be much.

How so? No...... Du Shi was suddenly a little flustered in his heart.

Xie Yi held Du Shi's hands and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't panic, you should think more about the good things in the world, how can you live in fear all day long?" When the sky falls, there is me on top, and with me, everything will be solved. ”

"Really? Saburo! Du Shi's eyes were slightly red, his expression was gloomy, and he subconsciously leaned into Xie Yi's warm embrace.

Xie Yi said leisurely: "Don't torture yourself anymore, torture me...... As for your heart, I won't ask you or force you. Tell me when you're willing to speak......

We drank a glass of wine and you took the bottle of jasmine perfume, which means 'you are mine'...... Therefore your business is my business, and my shoulder will always be my trust in this world. ”
