Chapter 395: Illusion
Ever since she met Empress Wen, Yu Yuan's mind has been thinking about what Empress Wen said to her.
She wanted to know what Xiao Ti had done when she went to Jinguan City three years ago? Does he have anything to do with the case of the closure of the family?
This doubt was like a poisonous snake, entrenched in her heart, constantly gnawing at her nerves.
If she can't solve this doubt, I'm afraid that she won't be able to face Xiao Ti without guilt in the future.
She must know the truth!
She looked back at the doorway.
The door to the Thousand Machine Building was still open, but the Eagle Guards were outside, and they couldn't see what was going on inside.
At this time, she was the only one in Qianjilou.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yu Yuan lifted one foot and gently stepped on the wooden stairs.
The lantern emitted a dim glow, illuminating the path in front of her.
She lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and walked up step by step.
When she reached the second floor, she was greeted by a door with a brass lock on it.
It's locked.
Yu Yuan didn't give up, and continued to walk up with the lantern.
It turned out that not only the second floor, but also the third and fourth floors were locked.
It's impossible to get in without a key.
No wonder Meng Xizhou can rest assured that she will be left alone in the Qianji Building, and he is not afraid that she will go upstairs to spy on secrets.
Yu had no choice but to turn back and go down the stairs.
She thought in her heart that Xiao Ti, as the person in charge of the Fa-rectification Division, must have the key to the Thousand Machine Building.
If only she could steal the key from him......
No, no, no!
As soon as this thought came to her, she pressed it down.
Xiao Ti trusts her so much, how can she steal his things?!
She must not do such an ungrateful thing.
Forget it, let's think of something else.
If it really didn't work, she went back to Bashu in person and turned over the case back then to investigate it again.
Before she knew it, she had reached the second floor.
As she rounded the corner and was about to go down the stairs, she saw a man standing at the top of the stairs below.
The man was tall and slender, standing quietly in the darkness, wearing a dark brocade robe as if he wanted to merge with the darkness.
Yu Yu froze in place, and the blood in his body was almost congealing.
Why did Xiao Ti come back?!
He told her not to go upstairs, but she secretly went upstairs, he would be angry, right?
How was she going to explain it to him?
Xiao Ti raised his head slightly, looked at the girl standing at the top of the stairs, and said for a long time.
"I told you, don't go upstairs."
is a simple sentence, and the tone is also plain, and the meaning of blame is not heard at all.
But Yu Yuanxuan was panicked in his heart.
Her palms carrying the lantern were sweaty, and she wanted to explain, but her voice seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.
Xiao Ti looked at her steadily, and asked, "What are you looking for when you go upstairs?" β
Yu Yuanxuan didn't know what to say.
Did you say that you wanted to know what Xiao Ti did when she went to Jinguan City three years ago?
Isn't that a clear sign that she's suspicious of him?
Xiao Ti: "Why don't you speak?" β
Yu Yuanyuan knew that she had to give an explanation for today's matter, and Xiao Ti would never give her a chance to get through the tricks.
She mustered up the courage to speak.
"I'd like to look into something."
Xiao Ti asked rhetorically: "Do you want to investigate the case of the closure of the family three years ago?" Didn't I already agree to let you have access to the files from that year? β
Yu Yuanxuan: "I have read the dossier, but there are still some things that I don't understand. β
"What's the matter?"
Yu Xuan: "Three years ago, did you take the Eagle Guard to Jinguan City?" β
Xiao Ti immediately understood what she meant.
"Do you suspect that I destroyed the Feng family?"
Yu Yuan shook her head quickly, because she was in too much of a hurry, her voice trembled a little.
"I didn't!
I just think it's all too coincidental.
It just so happened that the Feng family had an accident at that time, and it happened that you took the Eagle Guard to Jinguan City at that time.
As you told me before, there are no pure coincidences in this world, maybe there is some connection between the two things......"
Xiao Ti interrupted her.
"You're still doubting me."
His tone was cold like never before.
Yu Xuan seemed to have returned to the feeling he had when he first met Xiao Ti.
He was so cold and ruthless at that time, she was no different from a stone on the side of the road to him, and her life or death didn't matter to him.
At that time, she didn't feel anything, and she could even giggle and fool around.
But now she feels very uncomfortable.
I feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry.
Yu Yuanxuan explained diligently.
"I just want to figure out the connection between these two things, maybe as long as I figure it out, I can know the truth about the closure of the family."
Even if it's a distance, even if it's dim.
Xiao Ti could still see the tears in her eyes.
Yu snorted, trying to push back the tears.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disobeyed you and gone upstairs without permission, I will accept whatever punishment you want."
Xiao Ti resisted the urge to walk over and hug her, and said calmly.
"I can settle for today's events, but there's one more thing I want you to tell me truthfully."
Yu Yuan hurriedly responded: "You say! β
Xiao Ti stared at her and asked word by word.
"The reason why you were willing to marry me in the first place was to get close to me so that I could better track down the case of the closure of the family?"
Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then denied it without hesitation.
"Of course not! I am because I admire His Royal Highness the King of the County......"
Xiao Ti interrupted her.
"I want to hear the truth!"
He has interrogated so many prisoners and seen countless lies, and Yu Yuan's acting skills are not enough to see at all, he can deceive before because he is willing to believe her.
But now he didn't want to be seduced by her sweet words.
Yu Xuan opened his mouth, and wanted to tell the truth several times.
But as long as she met the man's sharp gaze, she couldn't say anything.
In the end, she had to admit it to herself.
"Yes, I did approach you with some caution.
I want to find out about the case of the closure of the family, but I am weak and no one will help me.
I can only find a way to get close to you.
You are in charge of the Fa-rectification Division, and the Fa-rectification Division's eyes are all over the world, and you are very well-informed.
If I can gain your trust, I may be able to find some clues from you. β
Her answer was almost exactly the same as what Shen Zhuo said.
Xiao Ti felt like he was soaking in cold water at this time, and he was cold from the inside out.
It turned out that he was still holding on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Shen Zhuo was lying to him.
It turned out that he was too naΓ―ve.
Xiao Ti thought that he was already a heartless person.
But now he felt that the position of his heart was very uncomfortable, as if he had been cut by a blunt knife, not fatal, but extremely tormenting.
"So, what you said before admiring me was all a lie to me?
Your kindness to me is also your means to win my trust?
The kindness and cheerfulness you show are also false images that you deliberately disguised? β
