Xuanyuan Ye floated to Shangguan Li's side like a ghost, and said with a smile.

"This is the son of Lord Liu's family, it's so tall in a flash, I hugged you back then."

Shangguan Li felt that these words were a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, wasn't this what he said when he fooled Song Changfeng? Liu Hua on the side suddenly saw such a big man and wanted to say something.

As a result, he was excited, didn't say anything, bit his tongue, and saw blood when he landed, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't do it.

"Ahem!"

Shangguan Bu smiled very insightfully and said quickly.

"Brother Liu's injury doesn't seem to be healed yet, I'll take him back to see it first, and you can talk slowly."

After speaking, he dragged Liu Hua, who looked confused, and walked away.

"Brother Ling is really lively."

Xuanyuan Ye gave such a positive or negative evaluation, and then turned his head to Shangguan Lidao.

"Let's go together?"

Shangguan Li happened to have something to ask him, so he nodded.

The two coincidentally chose the direction of the river, and after walking for a long time, Xuanyuan finally spoke.

"The county lord has been out of town for half a year, and he really wants to drink the northwest wind?"

Shangguan Li didn't expect him to ask such a knowingly question after brewing for a long time. He didn't know that the thirteen incense in the capital were all in her hands.

Glancing at him, Shangguan Li decided to ask himself.

"What's the matter with those captives?"

"Dead."

Xuanyuan Ye said a nonsense, and said again before Shangguan Li's eyes rolled out.

"I did let them die."

Shangguan Li felt the string in his heart vibrate, but he felt that it was expected. Because the methods used by those people to hide poison are not very clever.

Compared to the method of directly placing Gu on her subordinates that she encountered in the military station before, she didn't know how much weaker.

Xuanyuan Ye, who dealt with such Lan You, couldn't have found out the poison on these captives.

After Xuanyuan Ye said this, he turned his head to look at her again, and suddenly smiled.

"The county lord doesn't ask me why?"

"You will say what you want to say."

There was a look of disappointment in his eyes, and he said leisurely.

"If the lord asks me, I will tell you. This is the third time I've said the same thing, and I've never been so patient with a person in my life. ”

Shangguan Li's eyelids lifted and he stood still.

The sun had fully revealed its true form, and the fine golden sunlight had crossed her eyes with a blurred gold edge, which made her look almost gentle.

She felt a somewhat unfamiliar emotion surging in her heart, from the time she heard this person say that she was a rebel and thief in the palace.

It hasn't stopped until now.

She said slowly.

"The prince is a smart man, if it is also one of your plans to deepen the emperor's suspicion of you, as long as the outcome of this plan does not involve my interests, I don't want to care."

The more she spoke, the cooler the gaze felt falling on her.

"That's what I thought."

She changed her words.

"But I also think that with the status of the prince, no matter what you do, it will not be a trivial matter. Sooner or later, it will affect me if there are eggs under the nest, so I decided to take care of it. ”

Xuanyuan Ye was stunned for a moment, temporarily frightened by this businesslike tone, he asked.

"What does the county lord want to do?"

"Well, it depends on how much the prince is willing to tell me."

Shangguan Li waved his hand loudly, the corners of his eyes curled slightly, revealing a not-so-decent smile.

"It's okay if you don't tell me, I'll find out sooner or later anyway."

Xuanyuan Ye's eyes showed a little incredulity.

"The county lord's management is to stand in His Majesty's position......"

"No, I'll help you."

Xuanyuan Ye choked on a word in his throat, and for a moment he suspected that something was wrong with his ears. Did you hear it wrong?

The woman in front of him looked up at him, her eyes glistening with the sparkling golden light of the river.

"Although the prince's power is all over the capital, I should have this ability. Just now in front of His Majesty...... I guess I helped you once. ”

Shangguan Li's tone was less certain.

Just now in the palace, the emperor obviously suspected that those captives would die because Xuanyuan Ye deliberately killed him.

But Shangguan Li's words threw out a doubt: Why did you die at this time?

Before being caught, the men had ample time to commit suicide. At that time, both the Forbidden Army and the people of Xuanyuan Night were busy cleaning the hunting grounds and placing the wounded, but it was their best chance to understand themselves.

Because Xuanyuan Ye's people are all personal guards who have been with him all the year round, most of them are veterans who have retired from the Zhenbei Army - this is still specially approved by the emperor to protect Xuanyuan Ye's safety.

The veterans of the Zhenbei Army were also better trained than the forbidden army, so the emperor asked them to guard the prisoners. It's not hard to guess.

And what if the captives also guessed about it?

Could it be that they committed suicide at that time just to pour a basin of dirty water on Xuanyuan Ye and make the situation that had just stabilized chaotic again?

No matter how much the emperor believes in this possibility, as long as there are doubts in this regard, as the emperor, he will most likely put this matter on hold and will not care about it anymore.

So it seems that she saved Xuanyuan Ye once, but if even the death of those captives was expected by him, he must have already figured out a way to get out.

Maybe she's doing it too much.

Xuanyuan Ye looked at Shangguan Li, who frowned slightly, as if he could see her entanglement.

He thought, it's incredible, this woman seems to really wonder if she can help him.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke.

"While I do want them to die, the timing is not right."

Shangguan Li raised his head and reacted quickly.

"What does the prince mean is that the reason why they died at this time is that someone is indeed manipulating?"

Xuanyuan Ye nodded, blinking again.

"So the county lord did help me once"

At that time, he was standing under the high seat, in the middle of the ministers, although there were unexpected changes, but there was no turmoil in his heart.

The only thought is, where did another dog come from?

Shangguan Li appeared in the palace at that time and stood beside him. pretended to be an innocent county lord, and defended him a few words between the lines.

He thought it was a little funny, but the layer of indifference and boredom that had been in his heart at that time had actually faded a lot.

After thinking about it, he asked a soul question.

"Why does the county lord want to help me?"

Shangguan Li glanced at him, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of doubts, as if he was very puzzled by asking this question.

"Of course it's because you helped me, otherwise it could be a flood of compassion?."

Xuanyuan Ye raised his long eyebrows and said with a surprised expression.

"How come I don't know if the county lord is still the person who knows the grace of the newspaper?"

Shangguan Li: "......"
