Episode 85 Suspicion

She had been reading this telegram of less than 2,000 words for half an hour, but it was still fragmented, and the more she read it, the more confused her mind became.

Ananta Mahidol remarks...... He said that he wanted to build Siam into a constitutional monarchy like the Ming Dynasty...... Immediately after that, someone drew a gun and stabbed ...... Then the assassin committed suicide...... Then he reminisced in the carriage about how he spent time with himself as a child...... Then he declared to journalists from all over the world that he loved himself......

Zhu Yourong was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know if he did it on purpose. Now the Ananta-Mahidol train is coming towards itself, and it will soon be in Kunming to change planes and fly to Nanjing...... Landing at a certain airport for refueling at most in between...... It is estimated that he will arrive in Nanjing tonight......

She imagined the situation, and only felt that her body was cold. She had a feeling, as if it was not a Junkers-52 plane, but a big eagle with a hideous face, flapping its wings and flying over Nanjing, flying over the Forbidden City, just above the Qianqing Palace and her own dormitory, swooping down directly, breaking through the glazed tiles, and taking herself away......

…… At this moment, a string of tongues of fire came up on the ground...... Looking down, it turned out that Xiang Xiaoqiang was chasing after him with a tank, and the anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof of the car was spewing tongues of fire...... In the blink of an eye, the eagle was shot several times and fell down screaming...... He was released by the eagle's talons and also fell...... However, it fell into a pair of broad and powerful arms...... When I opened my eyes, it was Xiang Xiaoqiang......

Zhu Yourong thought stupidly, staring at the message, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Shen Rongxuan and Foreign Minister He Ziguang sat on the sofa opposite, watching His Majesty look at the telegram "affectionately", their faces flushed, and they thought that she had watched the Siamese prince's station "confession", and her heart was moved. The two of them glanced at each other and both smiled slightly.

Zhu Yourong came to his senses, raised his eyes and glanced at the two courtiers, coughed lightly, lowered his head and continued to watch.

The second half of the message is the last thing I want to see...... A Japanese reporter bluntly said on the spot: Xiang Xiaoqiang is a major suspect......

Zhu Yourong was inexplicably irritable for a while, and his chest was out of breath. She threw the message on the coffee table, stood up and paced two steps, glanced at Shen Rongxuan, and sat down again.

…… Shen Ge Lao looks confident...... It seemed that he was not surprised at all, as if he had done it quite well......

Zhu Yourong forced himself to calm down and asked:

"He Aiqing, you just said that the assassin ......"

"Your Majesty," He Ziguang said quickly, "the body of the assassin has been preliminarily examined by the Siamese side, and the press card belongs to the Asahi Shimbun of Japan, and the name on it is also Japanese. Basically, there is nothing else on the body, and the one who can identify himself is a press card. Now they have asked the Asahi Shimbun Agency of Japan whether there is such a person through the Japanese embassy in Bangkok...... Now the body has been sent to St. Paul's Hospital in Bangkok for an autopsy, and the results should be out in the afternoon......"

"St. Paul's Hospital?" Shen Rongxuan interjected at this time and asked, "What kind of hospital is that?" I've never heard of it. The largest hospital in Bangkok is Shi Ren Tong Hospital, why wasn't it sent there? ”

He Ziguang explained:

"That's right, our ambassador also took notice...... He guessed that it might be because St. Paul's Hospital was opened by the British, and Shi Rentang was opened by our Daming people, and this attempted assassination was suspected of being in the upper echelons of our Daming, so ......"

Zhu Yourong said coldly:

"So, the Siamese side has started to distrust us, right?"

He Ziguang sighed:

"It's not distrustful, but anyway, it's ...... Yes, there is such a possibility...... Your Majesty, you see, there are already three aspects of this assassination that have been suspected: our Ming Dynasty, Siam's domestic forces, and Japan. Therefore, they didn't send it to any hospital, so they sent it to the British hospital......"

Shen Rongxuan smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, you should see that even if the Siamese side has a little distrust of our Da Ming, His Royal Highness the Prince himself still trusts Da Ming 100 percent...... The best proof is that he is now on his way to Daming in person. ”

"Or," He Ziguang said with a smile, "his love for you has overcome the fear of possible death." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Rongxuan kicked him below.

"Hmm......"

Zhu Yourong's face turned red, lowered his eyes, and became more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Shen Rongxuan sat forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the ministers came to see Your Majesty today, not to make Your Majesty suspicious of Commander Xiang. Rather, I would like to ask His Majesty to consider whether to make some adjustments to the escort work of His Royal Highness the Prince...... The original arrangement, to be the state guest escort for the prince, was the Praetorian Guard. And the Praetorian Guard is under the command of the commander...... Your Majesty, the minister did not mean that he was suspicious of Commander Xiang, but only suggested that the state guest escort be handed over to other units in case of ...... Just in case. ”

Zhu Yourong heard the last "just in case", raised his eyes, and said coldly:

"Just in case? When you say 'just in case', do you mean that the killer is sent to Xiang Qing? ”

Shen Rongxuan didn't speak, just lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and his nose, and looked at his heart, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Zhu Yourong felt as if he had been stabbed in his heart, and it was very painful. She said lightly:

"There are few units with more experience in security work than the Praetorian Guard. And the prince is here today, and it's too late to change it temporarily. So, I don't have to. ”

He Ziguang was a little anxious, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing can't go wrong, it's better to be ...... in case"

Shen Rongxuan grabbed the corner of his clothes, stopped him, and then stood up and sighed:

"In this way, the ministers obey the order, and the ministers retire."

……

In the parking lot outside the noon gate, He Ziguang quietly asked Shen Rongxuan:

"Elder Ge, why did you pull me just now? You also know, this kind of thing is not trivial to Xiaoqiang, and then let his people do security work, which is tantamount to sending the prince into the tiger's mouth! This is related to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Siam, and to our Nanyang cause. ”

Shen Rongxuan leaned against the car door and sighed softly in the sky. After a while, he looked at him and said lightly:

"Do you think I can't see that Xiang Xiaoqiang is suspicious? …… Or is it just that Xiang Xiaoqiang is suspicious? ”

"What does Elder mean...... Not just Xiang Xiaoqiang? So who else ......"

Shen Rongxuan's eyes flashed with an unfathomable light, and he didn't speak.

A terrible thought broke into He Ziguang's mind. He shuddered all at once.

"Is it ......," he murmured, "and Your Majesty?" ”

Shen Rongxuan sighed lightly, didn't speak, put on a top hat, and got into his car.

He Ziguang bent down and asked in a low voice:

"Elder Ge, do you really think Your Majesty ...... She, too, is involved? She...... What the hell is going on? ”

Shen Rongxuan shook his head and said in a low voice:

"I don't know...... This is just conjecture...... You go back and think about it, and I'll think about it when I go back...... But we all know that His Majesty has never been in love, this is the first time to ...... with Xiang Xiaoqiang"

He leaned on the backrest, let out a long breath, and said with emotion:

"Let me tell you, a woman in love has an IQ of almost zero...... For the so-called love, for the sake of a momentary speed, everything can be done...... I know that......"

Shen Rongxuan waved his hand and rolled up the window. The driver in front started the car, and the limousine started slowly, leaving He Ziguang stunned.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, on the streets of Nanjing, the newsboy was running, waving newspapers and shouting:

"Extra! Extra! The Prince of Siam escaped by chance after being assassinated, and confessed his true feelings to my Empress of the Ming Dynasty! Extra! Extra! ……”

"Extra! Extra! Prince of Siam assassinated at Bangkok Station! The assassin committed suicide by swallowing poison! Xiang Xiaoqiang has a major suspicion! Extra! Extra! ……”

"Extra! ……”

Xiang Xiaoqiang had already taken his two wives to the banquet at Zheng Gongyin's house and was returning to the headquarters by car.

"Extra! Extra! Assassination of the Prince of Siam...... ...... to Xiaoqiang"

The voice of the newsboy drifted into the car window.

Xiang Xiaoqiang drank dizzy, touched Qiuyu's thigh with his left hand, touched Xiuxiu's thigh with his right hand, and leaned his head comfortably on the leather backrest, swaying from side to side with the bumps of the car, very comfortable.

"Extra! Extra! Assassination of the Prince of Siam...... ...... to Xiaoqiang"

Xiuxiu's ears were pointed, her head was tilted, and she watched a newsboy wave a newspaper and fall behind.

Did you hear it wrong?

However, if you hear it wrong, why does the word "Prince of Siam" get into your ears?

Xiuxiu shook the glass, tilted her head out, and listened carefully.

"Xiuxiu!" Qiu Yu shouted on the other side, "Don't be naughty, quickly retract your head!" Dangerous! ”

"Parking! Stop the car! ”

Xiuxiu shouted, stomping her feet. The driver didn't know what was going on, so he quickly stopped and turned to the side of the road. Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Yu were also startled, and they all looked at Xiuxiu in surprise without knowing what was going on.

Xiuxiu shouted to a newsboy on the sidewalk:

"Give me a newspaper!"

When the newsboy saw that there was a customer, he immediately ran over and leaned his head in front of the car window:

"Madam, what do you want to see...... Yes! ”

The newsboys all rely on the newspaper for food, and they are very sensitive to any person who appears in the newspaper, and they can be recognized at a glance. When the little child saw that it was Xiuxiu, he immediately jumped excitedly and asked loudly:

"Madame Shang! You're Sang-so, right? Are you? Yes? ”

"Give me a ......"

"Sign me! Please, sign me, I don't want money to send you a newspaper......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Yun, who were in the same row, leaned against the seat in a low-key manner, looking at the other side with their faces. Xiang Xiaoqiang also quietly put on the top hat, and the brim of the hat was pressed low.

Xiuxiu saw that she couldn't hide, so she took out a pen from her handbag and signed two Juanxiu words in the blank space of a newspaper: Shang Xiu.

The newsboy was very excited, folded the newspaper and tucked it in his arms like a treasure, and then stuffed a large stack of newspapers in front of Xiuxiu, let her choose, and kept asking:

"You're a Ryukyu princess, aren't you? Yes? Aren't you? ”

Xiuxiu stuffed her head, and while picking up the newspaper quickly, she cursorily browsed the big headlines with the words "Xiang Xiaoqiang" and "Prince of Siam", and the more she looked at it, the whiter her face became, and cold sweat came out.

"Are you a princess of the Ryukyus? Yes? Hehe, we all said it was ......"

Xiuxiu pulled out four newspapers, then took out a coin and gave it to the newsboy, retracted it into the car, and said:

"Drive."

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Yun turned their faces and let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Xiuxiu's face was pale, Qiu Yu held her hand with concern across Xiang Xiaoqiang, and persuaded:

"Xiuxiu, don't take it to heart...... That kid doesn't understand anything, just wants to be fresh......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang also said:

"Yes, Xiuxiu, Qiu Yu is right, that kid is ......"

Xiuxiu didn't say a word, and put the newspaper directly on his lap.

Xiang Xiaoqiang saw the big title on it at a glance, and his voice stopped abruptly. Then, the eyes widened and widened.
