Li Yuejiao looked at Xue Zhen through the curtain, pondered the meaning of this news in her heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility, her expression became strange, and it took a long time before she muttered:

"Yes...... Is it the son of the world......

Did you kill Dream Boy?

But it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, one is that there is no evidence, how could Xue Zhen do such a thing? The second is that Mengtong is alive, so it is possible to catch the person behind him - whether it is Du Tian or someone else - and he is dead, but nothing can be found.

Could it be that when it came to Du Day, Xue Zhen wanted to ...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness?

Xue Zhen was stunned for her words again, and when he understood, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, frowned slightly, and asked:

"Who does Madame think of me? How could I do such a thing?"

There was some grievance in his tone.

Li Yuejiao stroked her chest and whispered, "That's good."

She shouldn't have such suspicions, Xue Zhen is thoughtful, and he is not a tyrannical and unscrupulous person, even if it was to himself back then, although he ignored and treated him coldly, he didn't attack him, and he still wanted to find evidence.

Now the suspect is Du Day, his elder relative, and the two have a very close personal relationship, so Xue Zhen will be more cautious to find evidence, and will not kill people to exonerate Du Day.

After all, this matter involves his father and brother.

Thinking like this, Li Yuejiao felt a little more embarrassed about Xue Zhen because of Fang Cai's suspicions, her tone softened, and asked him softly:

"What's going on here? How did he die?"

After that, seeing that he was still standing outside, he instructed Yun Tuan, "Shizi sit down and talk, Yuntuan, pour tea for Shizi."

The voice is gentle.

Yun Tuan pursed his lips and went to serve tea unhappily, Xue Zhen thanked him and moved a chair to sit down.

It's just that Li Yuejiao, who was across the curtain, didn't see the light smile that the corners of Xue Zhen's mouth hooked, as if the plan had succeeded.

Miss Li, after all, is soft-hearted, he thinks, he is a little wronged, and she is like this.

"He was wiped on the neck with a dagger, there was no sign of struggle, and he died a crisp death." Xue Zhen explained when he took the tea handed over by Yun Tuan.

The clouds turned pale with fright by his indifferent description.

Li Yuejiao listened, and also felt a chill in her neck, and couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her neck.

"But," she wondered, "I listened to the sixth brother, that Mengtong should be a capable person...... Is it suicide?"

Xue Zhen drank half a cup of tea, shook his head and said, "No, he killed him and shot him from behind."

「…… Is that my cousin?" Li Yuejiao guessed and asked, "Or, is it another little guy?"

"It won't be my cousin, one is that he is really powerless, the girl doesn't know, and killing people with a knife is also a hard job," Xue Zhen said lightly, "Besides, he was also stabbed, and if he missed by three points in the chest, the person would be gone."

Li Yuejiao let out a low snort, and Yun Tuan couldn't hold back on the side, gasping, and even began to burp uncontrollably.

Xue Zhen looked at Yun Tuan and suggested, "Miss Li, since your girl is afraid to hear these things, it is better to let her out, so as not to be frightened."

This was said by Xue Zhen, and Yun Tuan immediately became unhappy, endured the incessant hiccups, and said, "Slave is not afraid, Miss,"

Li Yuejiao is really worried about the clouds, she has been frightened for a few days, when she just returned to Anhua County before, when she was sleeping at night, the clouds would suddenly wake up and make a lot of noise.

Li Yuejiao asked Zheng Xiaoxi to prescribe calming medicine for Yuntuan, and after taking it for a while, she finally got better, but this time she fainted, and I was afraid that she would repeat it again.

"Yuntuan, you go down first," she reassured Yuntuan, "I want to eat the butterfly cake and cloud cake you made, go and do it."

Yun Tuan was helpless, glared at Xue Zhen vigilantly, and could only say:

"Yes, Miss, let Cuixi listen outside."

"Okay."

*

After the cloud group retreated, Li Yuejiao asked Xue Zhen again, "How can my cousin be injured too?" What about the other little guy, that dream dye?"

Xue Zhen replied, "He escaped a catastrophe because he went to Zuiyun Mansion to buy wine and food. I sent someone to ask, and on his way to Zuiyun Tower, he saw a lot of people, and when he was shopping in Zuiyun Tower, he waited in the hall for a long time, so it couldn't be him."

Li Yuejiao heard that there were no more casualties, so she was a little relieved, and said with annoyance:

"I guess I'm thinking too much, right? Or did the sixth brother hear it wrong? Or maybe the sixth brother heard it right, but the cousin is indeed innocent."

Xue Zhen listened to her apologetic tone, couldn't help it, and laughed again.

"In the end, the girl is still innocent and kind."

"Huh?" Li Yuejiao was confused, looking at Xue Zhen's face with an indistinct expression through the bed tent, "Didn't Uncle Cousin almost be killed?"

"But, Uncle Cousin, he's still alive." Xue Zhen's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about eating and drinking water.

"......" Li Yuejiao couldn't understand it even more, "Where did the prince start with this? I don't understand."

Xue Zhen got up, poured himself tea, sat down again, and said indifferently:

"Girl, if your guess is right, then my cousin, and my grandfather, what they do is to seek the country, all those who have achieved great things in the world can not only give up the lives of others, but also give up their own lives, the so-called wealth and danger are sought, as long as they can temporarily stabilize me, where will he not be willing to take that knife?

"Besides, since ancient times, the eldest girl seems to be loyal, the big fake seems to be true, and the person with a gentleman's heart is the most susceptible to this kind of deception, and look, now it is just a knife, and a kind person like a girl doesn't think he is innocent?"

Li Yuejiao listened to what he said, and seemed to have some truth, and after a moment of silence, she didn't dare to ask uncertainly, "So the prince suspects that he is acting with his life?"

"Yes."

"That...... Yumeran really isn't suspicious?"

"At least Mengran is not one of the two people that Brother Zheng said," Xue Zhen said, "Otherwise, it's just a matter of killing both of them, so why keep one?" Aren't you afraid that Brother Zheng will hear it again?"

Li Yuejiao was surprised, and then thought about Du Day's ruthlessness, she only felt numb in her spine, and said to Xue Zhen with concern:

"He, he's so fierce, he doesn't care about killing himself, Shizi, Shizi should be careful."

After Xue Zhen was silent, he couldn't hold back and asked, "Girl, are you worried about me?"

As he spoke, his ears turned red with hope outside the bed tent; Li Yuejiao, who was inside the bed tent, had a beat of her heart.

She didn't answer the question, but sat there, her fingers fumbling with the embroidery on the quilt.

The heart is even more confused.

Inside the house, after a very awkward silence, Xue Zhen coughed lightly and said softly: "I will be careful, when I was in the Zhenbei Army, I was assassinated a few times, but it's you, go back...... It's fine."

The voice became lower and lower, not like talking to Li Yuejiao, but like comforting herself.

Li Yuejiao fumbled with the patterned fingers and paused.

It took a long time for her to ask, "That son, who did it, can you find out?"

Deliberately avoided the previous topic.

Xue Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out his mood, and replied: "After the girl told me that day, I asked people to stare at them, those two people are very good at it, and their identities are also cleanly hidden, but last night, when they heard the movement, they entered the house, and the people were gone, and the window at the back of the house was open, and no one was caught, so I asked Chen Sanniang to see."

Hearing this, Li Yuejiao always felt that there were too many details in the matter, and after thinking about it, she finally lifted the bed tent, revealing two big watery eyes, looking at him and saying curiously:

"Shizi, could it be that there is something wrong with your people?"

"Naturally not, the Lan family brothers and sisters are very trustworthy, just like the Hu family's brothers," Xue Zhen continued, "The scar on Mengtong's neck is very special, it is a kind of short scimitar used by Chen Guo's spies, but the dagger was not seen at the scene, so it could only be taken away. But now Anhua County is Chen

As for the Guoliu soldiers, I arranged for many people to lurk secretly, and they are all familiar with Chen Guoren's style of acting, but no one noticed anything unusual last night."

Li Yuejiao was surprised, "How can this be? What did Sanniang say? Are she sure it's a spy from Chen Guo?"

Xue Zhen nodded: "Well, she is sure, not only the knife marks are, but that kind of technique must also be Chen Guo's spies."

Li Yuejiao's heart beat hard: "Could it be that Chen Guoren wants to kill people? Haven't caught anyone yet? How could their spies be so powerful?"

Xue Zhen looked into her eyes and reminded, "Now in Anhua County, the only person who was born in Chen Guo and can use that kind of dagger and can come and go freely is Chen Sanniang."

Li Yuejiao was taken aback and blurted out: "Impossible, how can it be Sanniang? Her child is still with the eldest princess."

Xue Zhen spread his hands: "What you say is the same."

"But......" Li Yuejiao thought that he was going to say the words of the eldest daughter who was loyal to Fang Cai again, but she still wanted to refute him, "Shizi, think about the recent things, Sanniang shouldn't have done those things, she won't do them."

"yes, that's what I told her." Xue Zhen nodded approvingly, "If she really wants to harm you and me, will she help you when you are in the capital?" What's more, the prince of Chen Guo, who wants to kill Sanniang, how can a person like her with clear grievances be willing to go back and work for them?"

"That's it, so ......" Li Yuejiao only listened to the opening, and she had to argue for Chen Sanniang, so she spoke quickly, and when she turned the corner after listening to Xue Zhen's words, she was stunned, "Huh?"

She suddenly felt that she had been played, and she was upset, and she slammed the curtain of the bed and sat back.

Xue Zhen felt that her reaction was quite cute, and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of person does the girl think Xue is? First they kill people, and then they are suspicious."

Li Yuejiao was dumbfounded, and when she was about to be soft-hearted, she still felt that Xue Zhen was teasing herself, so she said unhappily:

"If the son of the world doesn't make it clear, how can you blame me?"

The smile on Xue Zhen's face became even stronger: "Yes, it was Xue's no, it made the girl angry."

Li Yuejiao was confused by his attitude again, and her temper seemed to disappear in an instant.

She lifted the bed curtain again and opened a small gap, looked at Xue Zhen calmly and smiled, but there was still a tired look in her eyes, and it was not good to lose her temper with him again, so she asked:

"What did the prince ask Sanniang to go for?"

"I'm afraid I've seen the wrong scar, so let Sanniang confirm it. After all, Sanniang's identity is here, and there are a few sisters over there, so I want her to help me find the spy who is hiding in Anhua City and can do such a mysterious thing, after all, she knows better than the people I am used to." Xue Zhen said.

Li Yuejiao understood, although everything was still chaotic and human lives were involved, so it was a little heavy, but she still felt that the truth was getting closer and closer, so there was still a smile in her eyes, and then asked Xue Zhen curiously:

"But Shizi, cousin, how did he know that you suspected him?"

Xue Zhen asked her, "Girl, do you remember that there is a girl named Wufu at home?" She's in charge of the backyard."

An ordinary-looking, but rather pleasing face appeared in Li Yuejiao's mind, and she nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember, didn't she come with her this time?"

Xue Zhen smiled, "She should be the eyeliner that my cousin planted in the mansion."

Li Yuejiao was surprised: "Huh? I remember that girl, wasn't it the eldest princess who arranged to have a child? How could it be her? How did the prince know?"

She asked three questions in a row, and then after thinking about it again, she suddenly understood:

"Oh, by the way, when the prince chose these people to come, he was already suspicious, but...... How could it be her?"

Xue Zhen's smile retracted, and the person became slightly twisted, and it took a long time before asking:

"Do you remember the day you heard me talking to him in the Canglang Pavilion before?"

How could Li Yuejiao forget?

Her gaze turned cold again, and she didn't answer, just nodded.

"That girl, do you remember the time when my mother asked Sanniang to be locked in the firewood room?"

"......," Li Yuejiao nodded expressionlessly.

are the days she will never forget in her life, the days of fear, grievance, and anger.

Speaking of Wufu, why doesn't Xue Zhen open which pot to mention?

"Those sixteen people are the people who appeared near the firewood house on the day Sanniang left the house; And that Wufu is the one who told Madame where I was on the day of Canglang Pavilion, right?" Xue Zhen smiled bitterly at her look and said.

"Ah," Li Yuejiao remembered, and suddenly realized, "yes, it's her."

"The girl also knew that I was really reluctant to see the girl at that time, so how could there be a servant of the Marquis of Anhua who took the initiative to answer your questions?" Xue Zhen said.

Li Yuejiao couldn't cry or laugh for a while because of this answer, and said helplessly: "So that's the case...... Oh, the prince is really discerning."

Xue Zhen heard her ridicule, so he could only pretend not to hear it, and continued:

"And Sanniang once told me that she found a note from the food she was given, and the person who brought her food at that time was Wufu. At that time, I suspected that she was just a cover, and it wasn't until you told me about my cousin's suspicions a few days ago that I was sure that Wufu should be my cousin's person. It may be why Uncle Cousin did these things, but what you overheard that day now seems to be exactly what Uncle Cousin wants you to know."

Li Yuejiao looked at Xue Zhen with her mouth open, and it took a long time to react, shivering, and said incredulously:

"He...... He is so calculating."

"yes." Xue Zhen smiled bitterly again, "I grew up beside His Majesty since I was a child, although I don't think I am talented, but I also think that I am quite smart, and if I look at it today, I am just a chess piece in the palm of Du Tian's palm. Look at what he has done now, even if I doubt him, I still can't do anything about him."

Li Yuejiao felt that Du Tian was terrifying, and when she heard Xue Zhen being so arrogant, she easily felt distressed, and hurriedly said:

"Don't say that, the son of the world acts in the style of a gentleman, which is different from his calculating tricks."

Xue Zhen paused, met her gaze, and said unexpectedly, "Girl, I think I have the style of a gentleman?"

In addition to the surprise, there is also some joy that is difficult to hide.

Li Yuejiao was speechless for a while.

A gentleman?

Thinking about what he did to himself, he really can't be considered a gentleman, right?

But, but ......

In the end, Li Yuejiao still remembered that when her father had an accident before, Xue Zhen stretched out his hand and arranged the game with his own life just to make her safe.

Finally, she nodded solemnly: "Yes, even if the prince is suspicious of others, his methods are above board, and he is a gentleman."

*

Xue Zhen's peach blossom eyes dyed a smile for Li Yuejiao's words, which made his already warm and soft face even more amorous that people couldn't take their eyes off.

Li Yuejiao's heart was empty again, but she couldn't take her eyes off.

"Thank you, girl." He said sincerely, "Although what Xue did before was really not unreasonable, and I didn't dare to think that you would forgive me, but with the girl's words, Xue Zhen will feel better after all."

Li Yuejiao came back to her senses and retreated to the bed tent again, and it took a while to calm down her chaotic mind.

"But the son, I will surely be reconciled with you." She separated Xue Zhen's eyes through the bed tent, and the words were better spoken, "I know you are helpless, you have been deceived, but Shizi, my father and mother raised me to such a big age, taught me to be reasonable, taught me the essence of skills, and taught me the size of the world, not so that I was misunderstood, treated coldly for three years, and suffered the cold eyes of others."

The man separated by the curtain couldn't even see clearly with a blurred expression.

She could only hear him "um", but she couldn't hear the emotion.

"I have seen my parents and their affection since I was a child, although I don't dare to expect my husband to be like my father in the future, for the rest of his life, regardless of life or death, and only keep me alone, but I still hope that my husband will feel more distressed and care about me

Some, treat me as a person like him, don't raise your eyebrows, just believe that I love me, it is a deep love.

"Shizi, you are a good man, a gentleman, a loyal minister, and a good general, but you are not my good man. So son, when everything is settled, we still have to reconcile, okay?"

The man outside the bed tent sat in a chair, motionless.

For a long time.

It may not be that long, just a few breaths.

「…… Okay." Xue Zhen's voice calmly passed through the bed tent and reached Li Yuejiao's ears, "When I find out these things, I will definitely reconcile with the girl." new

Not only for her wishes, but also for the sake of not implicating Li Yuejiao if her grandfather is really guilty.

Li Yuejiao breathed a sigh of relief, although the emotion of wanting to cry came up again, she still restrained her emotions and thanked:

"Thank you, Son."

"Girl......" After a long time, when Xue Zhen spoke again, his voice was a little choked, but before Li Yuejiao realized it, he coughed lightly and covered it up, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Li Yuejiao also hid her emotions and asked, "By the way, how did that cousin notice that the prince had discovered his strangeness?"

"It's because after the accident that night, I asked Chang Feng to secretly detain Wufu, and now that I think about it, there must be some way to pass information between them," Xue Zhen said, blaming himself, "So this time I was in a hurry, but I gave him a wake-up." He's really smart, and I'm going to have to deal with it."

"Uncle Cousin, are you awake now? Did he say anything?"

"When I came to see you, he wasn't awake yet, but it doesn't matter, there are several medics on guard. But it's good that he hasn't woken up yet, and I don't know how I'm going to talk to him if he's awake before I come to see you today." Xue Zhen said with a smile.

Li Yuejiao was amused by him: "That son of the world knows now?"

"Well, of course, it's false and wronged, full of politeness, knowing each other, tentative in the mouth, and only thinking about how to grab each other's handles, a fatal blow." Xue Zhen spread his hands and said, "Comparatively, I'm really more curious about how he will deal with me."

Li Yuejiao smiled, fell into deep thought, and did not speak again.

Xue Zhen sat and waited for a moment, feeling as if it was time to go, but he didn't want to go.

So he waited a while before asking, "When is the girl going to leave?" I'll arrange things for the girl on the road."

Li Yuejiao thought for a while, and suddenly opened the curtain for the third time.

Only this time, she completely lifted the curtain of the bed and said resolutely, "Shizi, I won't go."

Xue Zhen was shocked by her sudden decision again, suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked:

"Girl, are you serious? Why is that?"

But she was really haggard a lot, he thought, very distressed, it seems that he sent the medicine right, she really should make up for it.

"I'm not leaving." Li Yuejiao looked at everyone in good spirits, even though her voice was still a little tired, but there was more light in her apricot eyes, "Shizi, what kind of heart is my cousin who can not only kill people for his own selfishness, but also do things that almost kill himself?"

"......" Xue Zhen didn't understand how this matter was worthy of praise, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only be silent.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Li Yuejiao pointing to her nose and said to him:

"And me? It's good for me that others framed my mother, wronged my mother, and used my mother to make me like this, but here I am writhing, crying, crying, and even thinking about running, which is really unseemly."

Xue Zhen was completely amused by her, and could only nod in approval:

"Girl, you are really brave and resolute, I admire it."

Li Yuejiao looked at him and smiled, and the two dimples were still the same as before.

"So Shizi, he has a heart, he can calculate, he has a Hou Ye behind him, and there may even be a Chen Guo to support him. But there is still me behind the son, and since I can find out about his problems, I can naturally grasp his handle."

Xue Zhen looked

With her, he got up, saluted, and said solemnly:

"Xue is here, thank the girl for her help first."
