Chapter 242: Assistance
If according to this guard, are the people who have infiltrated just to help themselves eliminate these killers?
Could it be that it was someone sent by the prince to assist him, Pei Jianxi felt that this might be a little minimal, so he simply followed the guards to check it out.
Su Jinxiu also followed, and when the two walked to the front lobby, they saw the guards who were surrounded in the middle, and the masks of those guards were taken off, and they looked very rusty, Pei Jianxi could be sure that he had not seen these people.
The guards and secret guards who often followed him around Mu Chenfeng had seen them all by themselves, but these people were very angry, and even if they were fenced up, there was still no panic on their faces.
Instead...... is still quite arrogant, Pei Jianxi once wondered if he was wrong.
"I don't know who sent them, and for what purpose?"
"My master heard that Pei Fu was in trouble today and specially sent a few of us over to help you, as for who my master is, you don't need to know."
As soon as these words fell, Su Jinxiu stepped forward and said, "How many of you are sent by the queen, right?" ”
After hearing Su Jinxiu say this, I saw that the guards were stunned for a moment, but they quickly returned to their usual complexions, as if the stunned look just now was just Su Jinxiu's illusion.
"Madam, you guessed wrong, but we really didn't have any other purpose for this trip, just to come to help, and I hope Master Pei doesn't think too much about it, and let us go quickly."
"You were sent by the Queen!"
Su Jinxiu's tone at this time had changed to affirmation, and after Pei Jianxi heard Su Jinxiu's guess, although he didn't know how Su Jinxiu saw it, he still instantly occupied the same front with Su Jinxiu.
It's just that since these people were sent by the queen, and they didn't do any substantial harm to them, it was not good for Pei Jianxi to torture these people to extract confessions.
"Hey, please don't ask again, my master has no intention of telling the two of you your identity, the two of us should come here to do a good deed, and I think the two of you don't want to tear your face with my master, so please let us go quickly."
After Pei Jianxi heard the threatening words of these guards, he was slightly stunned, and finally nodded and let these guards go.
After letting go of these guards, the other guards also went their own way, Pei Jianxi and Su Jinxiu had just returned to the courtyard, and they heard Pei Jianxi ask, "How do you know that they are people sent by the queen?" ”
"In the past, the queen once sent people to woo me, and the group of people who wooed me were exactly the same as the faces they put on, so I accidentally thought that at first I just wanted to deceive them, but who knew that they panicked."
"I see, I saw them stunned for a moment just now, I guess your guess is not far from ten, but if they are people sent by the queen, then why should the queen help us, isn't she the one who stands in the same camp as Prince Lian."
"Prince Lian is ambitious because she wants to be the emperor, and the queen is ambitious because she wants to help the seventh prince to ascend to the throne, and she is in the same camp, but her heart is not the same, probably because the queen thinks that Prince Lian's plan is too dangerous, and she is afraid that she will be involved.
"There is some truth in this, but this is only a possible reason, what if the queen and Prince Lian sang a double reed together, as for the emperor...... I don't know why the emperor thinks so highly of me. ”
Su Jinxiu just wanted to open her mouth and say to Pei Jianxi: Isn't this matter Mu Chenfeng already investigating, and it should be found out soon.
As a result, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and finally saw Su Jinxiu looking very excited, and said to Pei Jianxi: "That's right! ”
Pei Jianxi was suddenly startled by Su Jinxiu's sudden loud voice: "What's wrong?" ”
"If it is really as I guessed in my last guess, the queen knows how important you are in the emperor's heart, so she sent someone to stop Prince Lian, then where did she see it, and how can she be sure that this matter will definitely be investigated by the emperor for you, and may even implicate herself?"
"Maybe the queen guessed through the last time I asked for medicine?"
"Impossible! Although the herbs you are asking for are precious herbs, it doesn't mean anything, in case it's just that the emperor sees that you are the orphan of Lord Pei, so he is extra tolerant of you, if the emperor only looks at this part, then he will definitely not investigate this matter thoroughly today, because the royal family is involved! ”
Su Jinxiu knew how much the ancient emperor valued his royal family, and this matter also involved the emperor's own brother and the mother of a country.
Pei Jianxi obviously thought of this as well, and nodded instantly.
"So the reason why the queen sent it here to stop it is because she knows that in the emperor's heart, your position may be heavier than that of Prince Lian and herself, but what is the reason why the queen will have this kind of thought!"
When Su Jinxiu said this, Pei Jianxi reacted instantly, and then Su Jinxiu's words continued: "Maybe the queen knows the story that happened between my parents and the emperor, so she is so sure!" ”
When Su Jinxiu heard Pei Jianxi say this, she raised her hand directly, and then grabbed Pei Jianxi's wrist with her other hand, raised it, and forced Pei Jianxi to give a high-five.
"That's right! That's what I mean, but I say that these speculations must be based on the fact that the queen has sent those guards to protect you, and has no plans other than that. ”
"It's okay, anyway, this matter was originally investigated by His Royal Highness the Prince, we just need to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about our guesses, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with us."
"Okay."
Su Jinxiu nodded as she spoke, it was getting late at this time, and after the two were silent for a while, they yawned in unison.
"It's getting late now, so let's go inside and rest."
"Good!"
After Su Jinxiu finished speaking, he walked back to the house with Pei Jianxi, at this time, Prince Lian's mansion was brightly lit, Prince Lian was sitting on the seat in the house, listening to the report from his subordinates, as for Li Shuangqing and the eldest lady, they knelt aside.
"This king sent so many people over, and even specially sent someone to transfer Pei Jianxi away, but you told this king, you actually failed?"
When Prince Lian said this, his tone was very bad, which made the subordinates kneeling below tremble.
"The prince really doesn't blame us for this matter, it's all because Su Jinxiu has already prepared, and Pei Jianxi has also sent many people to protect Pei's mansion."
