Chapter 16: Unexpected Reactions

Ximen Hao took the paper bag, he didn't need to open it, he just sniffed it and already knew what was in it, his eyes tightened, and the paper bag was rubbed in his palm.

It was a bag of kitsch, ordinary goods, and it was obvious that Su Dye's painting was hit by it.

Steward Lin looked at Ximen Hao with some concern, he knew that Ximen Hao was afraid that he had the same idea as himself, although he was very reluctant to think so, but he couldn't find a reason to deny it.

Dare to poison yourself with your own hands, Su Dye painted, in order to seduce this king, you are really unscrupulous!

Ximen Hao didn't say a word, secretly transporting his strength, the paper bag was broken, and the powder inside fell from his fingers.

"Has the knife come from any sources?" Ximen Hao crumpled the remaining scraps of paper in his palm into a ball and threw it out of the house.

"The dining room confirmed that Xiao Rouzhong's knife was the one that was suddenly missing in the dining room." Steward Lin replied. He is a capable housekeeper, although Ximen Hao only asked him to send Bai Yiyi away, but he has already ordered someone to search the happy house painted by Su Ran and track down the origin of the murder knife. It didn't take long for the results.

Ximen Hao was silent, staring out the window with his sharp eyes, very calm, no one could see the ups and downs in his heart.

"Lord Wang, even so, you can't determine the real murderer, right?" Steward Lin asked very cautiously.

"Uncle Lin, do you think Su Ranhua has the ability to get a knife from the dining room quietly?" Ximen Hao asked.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's difficult. "Steward Lin said, Su Ranhua first came to the palace, and he was not even familiar with the terrain of the palace, not to mention that he had been sick, how could he act secretly?

"Since she can ask Xiaorou to find someone to clean up the house for her, if she wants to get a knife, I'm afraid it won't be difficult." Ximen Hao said, unconsciously the corners of his lips were hooked, and the situation of Su Ranhua sitting leisurely under the plane tree appeared in his mind, with a pale and elegant and calm face.

Abominable woman!

Ximen Hao swept away the appearance of Su Ran's painting in his mind fiercely, turned around and sat back on the chair.

"Uncle Lin, put this matter on hold for now, don't make a conclusion for the time being."

Just when Steward Lin thought that Ximen Hao really wanted to punish Su Ranhua, Ximen Hao said unexpectedly.

He believes that the shrewd Su Dye painting will not let himself get into trouble so obviously, there must be something strange in it that he doesn't know, or what purpose Su Dye painting is doing this, in short, beware.

"Yes." Steward Lin lowered his hand.

"Hao, why are you holding it up? Although Xiaorou is an insignificant maid in your eyes, I regard her as a sister, and for my thin face, you must seek justice for her as soon as possible, so that she can be buried in peace. I beg you! ”

As soon as Bai Yiyi came to the door, she heard Ximenhao's words, pushed the door hard, strode to Ximenhao, and her tone changed from an indomitable question to a bitter pleading, with tears in her eyes.

Ximen Hao looked at Bai Yiyi with a sad expression, his chest was still rising and falling, tears were flowing, and the crystal beads were hanging on his jaw, shining with pure light.

"Yiyi," Ximen Hao stood up and wiped his tears for Bai Yiyi, with a shallow softness in his eyes, "Why don't you rest well, just wake up and run over." ”

"How can I rest when something so big happens?" Bai Yiyi looked up at Ximen Hao's eyes, only when he was injured, there would be such a soft thing in his eyes, it was the only opportunity, only for himself. I don't realize the beautiful stealing pleasure in my heart.

"Don't worry, I'll find out the real culprit." Ximen Hao said.

"Isn't the murderer the princess?" Bai Yiyi asked suspiciously. Ximen Hao's reply made her heart sink.

Ximen Hao glanced at Bai Yiyi fixedly, and turned to Steward Lin on the side, "Uncle Lin, take Yiyi to rest." ”

Seeing that the softness in Ximen Hao's eyes gradually disappeared, Bai Yiyi bit her lower lip tightly and stopped squeaking. Ximenhao is like this, he won't tell her any thoughts, and she can't ask, Ximenhao doesn't like to be entangled. She must know how to do it in moderation.

"Huh? What is it? Out of the corner of her eye, Bai Yiyi glanced at the powder that fell on the table, as if she asked casually, "There is a sweet taste, is it sugar?" How did you spill? It's a pity. ”

As she spoke, Bai Yiyi walked to the desk and raised her sleeves to gather the powder that had fallen on the table.

"That's poison." Ximen Hao grabbed Bai Yiyi's hand, waved her sleeve to clean it, and with a wave of his palm, he slapped the powder she held together to the ground.

"Poison?" Bai Yiyi looked at Ximen Hao in horror, and only relieved himself after making sure that he was fine.

"Let's go back to the house." Ximen Hao glanced at the powder that had been flying on the ground, and said lightly.

"Well," Bai Yiyi nodded obediently, she couldn't let Ximen Hao say the same thing three times, this was the second time she wanted her to leave, she had to leave immediately.

Walking out of the room, Bai Yiyi paused, hesitated for a moment and turned around, looked at Ximen Hao, and said with a firm look, "Hao, I believe in you." She knew that Ximen Hao understood what she meant, and she just wanted to beg Ximen Hao to settle Xiaorou's death as soon as possible.

Ximen Hao just glanced up at her, and then looked down at the document he had just held in his hand.

That's the equivalent of a response. Bai Yiyi didn't say much, he had already started to deal with official business, and he didn't like to be disturbed.

"Uncle Lin, you can get busy, I'm fine, I don't need to send it." Bai Yiyi said to Steward Lin, who left the study with him.

The sound fell, and walked alone in the direction of her room.

Her feet hurt so much, Bai Yiyi frowned, didn't dare to show it, and pretended to walk unharmed.

It was scratched when he kicked the broken porcelain piece into the pond, and then Bai Yiyi ran back to the room while no one was there, wrapped it up, changed out of the blood-stained shoes, and prepared to find a chance to burn it.

Bai Yiyi was very surprised by what she heard in the study, she thought that with Ximen Hao's hatred for Su Dye Painting, she would definitely not let go of Su Dye Painting in Xiao Rou's death, this is not a better reason to abandon Su Dye Painting than the so-called twenty days that made him carry the black pot?

Those twenty days will make the Beiwang Mansion and the royal family lose face, but if Su Ranhua kills someone, even if it is killed by mistake, it is only about herself and the Prime Minister's Mansion. The world does not allow a murderer to be a princess.

However, Ximen Hao didn't do this. And when Su Ran's painting was poisonous, and the "delusion" relied on the poison to win Ximen Hao's "rescue" Wen Cun, such a blatant temptation was obviously a deep misunderstanding of Su Ran's painting, and he secretly inserted a knife.

Yes, the bag of poison found by Steward Lin was put by Bai Yiyi, and Su Dye's painting was poisoned because Bai Yiyi was drugged in the first chrysanthemum tea she drugged. This medicine will not have a seizure at the time of taking it, and it will not react until a certain time. Therefore, Bai Yiyi can easily clear the suspicion, even Su Ranhua herself doesn't know how much poison she is.

Xiao Rou's death was not planned. Bai Yiyi just wanted to use Su Ran's illusion of self-defeating and poisonous painting, so that Ximen Hao would see her as a woman with many scheming, so that her image would never be able to turn over.

However, Xiaorou's death made Bai Yiyi see a punishment that could justify Su Ran's painting and lose all reasons, but the result did not follow her mind, which made her extremely annoyed.
