Chapter Ninety-Five: Life and Death
He never believed in accidents, there are not so many accidents in the world, he can get to this day, and he holds the power in his hands, all of which he calculated step by step, and of course, the fire in the backyard of the palace is not an accident in his Xu Yi's eyes.
The news that the Yiwang Mansion was on fire and that the second lady Xu Junxiao died tragically in the fire also reached the palace, and at this time, Emperor Xiyue's side was serving Gong Yuyan, who had just entered the palace today.
Nancheng country.
Xu Junxiao, who was drugged, was in a state of confusion all the way, occasionally had the strength to open her eyes, but found that she seemed to be in a carriage, and the strong medicinal properties and the bumps in the road made her unable to judge where she was at all, and only vaguely felt that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the imperial city......
Some dazzling sunlight shone on her pale little face, and Xu Jun, who was gradually sobering up, blinked her eyes with a smile, looking at the strange room she was in in a daze, and the soreness and exhaustion caused by the bumpy ride in the carriage almost made her unable to get out of bed.
Xu Junxiao rubbed his sore neck and waist before slowly lying on his side, carefully examining the room.
This is a simple room, although it is not as comfortable and spacious as her room in the palace, but the workmanship of the tables, chairs, beds, etc. is very delicate and atmospheric, not like something that ordinary people can afford, and a big stove is placed in the center, so that the whole room is warm.
She only remembered sitting in the backyard waiting boredly for the maid to come back from the house to the new hairpin, and suddenly a man behind her took a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, and she lost consciousness, and now when she woke up completely, she no longer knew where she was.
Xu Junxiao once again seriously combed through his mind, who did he offend, no...... She has never easily caused trouble and offended people, but who tied her up for what? Until Gong Yuyan's alluring face suddenly appeared in his mind, Xu Junxiao suddenly felt a cold sweat behind him.
Before she had time to think deeper, the sound of pushing the door interrupted her thoughts, and almost subconsciously, Xu Junxiao chose to quickly close her eyes and pretend that she still hadn't woken up.
Wei Xi walked to the side of the bed leisurely, looking at Xu Junxiao, who was obviously nervous, but desperately pretending to be asleep, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. remembered that when he first saw Annihilation Heng, he also did something stupid like this, but he just lay down in the middle of the road and pretended to be dizzy.
In the face of a person with profound martial arts, whether it is a real sleep or a fake sleep The breath and pulse are completely different, Wei Xiwan almost knew that Xu Junxiao was actually awake from the moment he pushed the door in.
After hesitating for a while, since she wanted to pretend to be asleep, she would be satisfied, thinking about it, Wei Xiwan hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, turned around and walked towards the door, and gently closed the door.
Tao Duyu, who was waiting outside, saw that Wei Xi came out so quickly, and asked, "Haven't woken up yet?"
"Pretend to be asleep. Wei Xiwan smiled and shook his head, Xu Junxiao This girl is indeed a little different, if other women find that they are tied up to an unknown place, they must be crying and yelling, and this girl is so stable.
"Then let her sleep. Tao Duyu also smiled helplessly, and walked out of this small courtyard side by side with Wei Xiwan.
This is a small courtyard in the National Teacher's Mansion of the Nancheng Imperial Palace, the National Teacher's Mansion is not only secretly full of peerless people, but also people who leave the Sect Jianzhuang, who want to escape from the National Teacher's Mansion, not to mention this weak woman who can't do martial arts, even if she Tao Duyu is trapped in the National Teacher's Mansion, she may not be able to escape easily.
Therefore, Xu Junxiao's door was not chained at all. Xu Junxiao, who noticed that Wei Xiwan had left, finally crept up from the bed, stood on tiptoe and walked in the direction of the door, and as soon as his hand touched, the door was easily pushed open.
Xu Jun smiled and stared at this door with a stunned face, and the chic snow scene in the small courtyard, this ...... What's going on? Didn't you kidnap her? Why didn't you even do it?
When she stepped out of the courtyard with one foot and saw a cold figure holding a long sword outside the courtyard blocking the door, she knew that the person who kidnapped her was not careless and unlocked, but directly sent someone to watch her, but kindly gave her an extra courtyard to walk around.
Knowing that there was no hope of escaping for the time being, Xu Junxiao turned around and returned to the room, who was the person who kidnapped her, what was the purpose, where was this, and how could she escape...... It seems that all this, she is going to have to work a little harder.
"Why did you go to great lengths to tie her up and take a closer look at Nancheng instead of hiding directly in Xiyue?" the two leisurely returned to Wei Xiwan's room, Tao Duyu picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip before slowly asking.
"I'm afraid that there will be too many variables to stay in Xiyue Kingdom, but it's most reassuring to stay under my nose. Wei Xiwan replied with a smile, Xu Junxiao was an innocent person, but she was born in the palace and had to be involved in these things, so she naturally wouldn't kill her, so she had to think of a perfect way to stop making trouble.
"So Zhang Jingzhe is the same?" Tao Duyu couldn't help but think of the scholar who seemed to be weak in literature, according to Wei Xiwan's character, under normal circumstances, he would not leave a strange and useless person in the National Teacher's Mansion.
"He's not. Wei Xiwan shook her head slightly, she really let him stay in the National Teacher's Mansion temporarily because she saw Zhang Jingzhe being bullied, and she couldn't help but feel compassion, "The peerless person has already checked, and he has no problem." ”
"That's good. ”
The Imperial City of Xiyue Kingdom.
Xu Yi looked at the subordinates investigating the backyard fire with a gloomy face, according to the investigation, the backyard fire was indeed an accident, which was caused by the charcoal stove being too close to the bed and igniting the bed tent on the side.
However, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he didn't believe it was an accident.
The princess saw that he had lost a daughter in recent days, and specially invited a wizard to come to tell the fortune, and it turned out that Xu Junxiao's longevity was indeed exhausted, and this fire was a pure accident as the result of the investigation he sent someone to investigate.
Something was really wrong, there was nothing in the whole fire that made people suspect that it was man-made, and the more it seemed normal, the more uneasy he became. When the wizard and his men came to report to him, he saw that there was a little strangeness in the wizard's expression, and he was even more determined to have a hunch about the fire.
"Someone, keep an eye on the wizard for me. Xu Yi gave an eerie order, although there was still grief in his eyes, but in the depths of his eyes there was another kind of ruthlessness.
Xu Junxiao plays a key role in his plan, but he didn't expect her to die like this, if the fire and Xu Junxiao's death were not accidents, then it is very likely that his plan for many years has been unknowingly exposed, and the person who knows his plan may want to use Xu Junxiao's death to disrupt and destroy his plan.
A cruel smile gradually appeared on Xu Yi's face, non-existent, no one could stop his plan that had been planned for many years, even without Xu Junxiao's daughter, he still had countless tricks. Did that person think that without Xu Junxiao, he would let himself stop? It's ridiculous!
