Mei Ruoyan was stunned on the spot by Shao Xi's question, but she immediately regained her composure, and she didn't seem surprised that Shao Xi could ask such a question.

"How did you know I had a wound?" Shao Xi raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Originally, I wasn't sure, when I returned home today, Fu Biao told me what happened in Daliang City in the last two days, and the first person who guessed you was not me, but Fu Biao.

"When I came to your door, I was probably sure that Fu Biao's guess was right, and it wouldn't take that long to hear the news that I was back, even if you changed your clothes, unless you were changing the wound dressing in the room at the time, and when you walked out of the room and talked to me, I already smelled the gold sore medicine on your body.

"When I entered the door, I stretched out my hand to pull you to actually probe your pulse, you should not know that I had read and studied a large number of pharmaceutical classics when I was six or seven years old, and I still knew a little about medical science and pharmacology, and it was not too difficult to find out if there were injuries on your body through the pulse.

"Besides, I saw the ...... when I entered the room," he said, Shao Xi raised his hand and pointed to the basin stand next to the screen, where there were still traces of water in the copper basin.

"If there is water in the basin but there is no water, it means that you have just used the basin but you have poured out the water, and the makeup on your face does not look like it was just painted, and you must not have just washed your face, which proves that you have wiped the wound before changing the dressing.

"In order to make sure of this, I instructed Fu Biao to go to your back window to check, there are freshly poured water stains on the ground, and there are strips of cloth that you threw out of the window and just changed to bandage the wound, so I stood at the window to confirm this, I think what I said is clear enough, right?

"So now can you tell me why you sneaked into the Lingwang Mansion to assassinate you? How did you get hurt? Who hurt you? I ask this for no other purpose, just because I will face it with you no matter what happens, and I just hope you don't hide anything from me. Mei Ruoyan calmly listened to Shao Xi finish these words, she knew that she couldn't hide it from Shao Xi after all, but what she didn't expect was that Shao Xi's mind was so meticulous, and everything she just said was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Although Shao Xi and Fei'er were a little hasty when they came, they also thought that they had handled it cleanly in a hurry, and they didn't want to be seen by Shao Xi so many flaws.

And all these are just inconspicuous subtleties, but they were discovered by Shao Xi one by one, which shows how strong his observation and analysis skills are?

Mei Ruoyan sighed softly, she knew that she couldn't hide it, so she could only confess to Shao Xi: "What you said is right, I am indeed injured, and I was indeed injured in the Lingwang Mansion, the person who carried out the assassination is indeed me, maybe you will think it is strange that I am just a servant of an art workshop, why did I sneak into the Lingwang Mansion to assassinate the second prince of the dynasty?" Shao Xi shook his head, and said to Mei Ruoyan with a clear expression in his heart: "I don't feel strange that you sneaked into the Lingwang Mansion to assassinate you, and it is only for two reasons that you are willing to take such a big risk and do something that is very likely to lose your life.

"One is that you have a grudge against Xiao Yuzhi, the king of Naling, and the other is that you were instructed to commit assassins, what I want to know is which one do you belong to?" Mei Ruoyan couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart, Shao Xi seemed to be able to know everything in his chest and come up with the right answer, and asking herself questions at this time was just to find the most accurate one among these answers.

It seems that if he does not make it clear, he will rely on himself to guess and probe, and finally find what he wants to know, in which case it is better to tell him himself, lest he continue to guess.

"You're right, I do have a bitter enmity with Xiao Yuzhi, the king of Naling, I have never mentioned it to you before, in fact, I am originally from Tanzhou, and my family is also the richest man in Tanzhou.

"At that time, Xiao Yuzhi colluded with the Tanzhou county guard to raise a private army in the local area, and found my father to ask my family to provide money to subsidize it, my father knew that this was a rebellious and rebellious act, so every time Xiao Yuzhi sent people and the Tanzhou county guard to talk to my father about this matter in detail, my father sternly refused.

"Who knew that Xiao Yuzhi had a grudge against him, and he actually framed my father, so that my father was unjustly imprisoned, and finally they tortured him to death, and all the family property was forcibly taken away by Xiao Yuzhi and taken for himself, my sister and I were still young, and we have been living on the streets since then.

"Fortunately, we were rescued by nobles here, not only to raise us, but also to teach our sisters to practice literature and martial arts, but unfortunately there are unforeseen circumstances, two years ago raised us to grow up my father-in-law died of illness, since then the family has fallen, my sister and I have lost our support again.

"What's more unfortunate is that my sister was seriously ill, and finally passed away because she had no money to see a doctor, leaving me alone in this world, so I relied on the singing and dancing skills I practiced back then to be a servant in this Mingfeng Fang, but I have never forgotten Xiao Yuzhi's blood feud when he killed my father and took away the family property.

"One of the important reasons why I am a servant in Mingfengfang is also looking for an opportunity to assassinate Xiao Yuzhi and avenge my father and sister, this is why I entered the Lingwang Mansion a few days and night to assassinate me, can you believe what I said?" Shao Xi secretly scolded this Xiao Yuzhi in his heart for being really guilty, harming one family after another, harming the Feng family and Jingci'an at the beginning, and now he has added a new account to himself.

Since he is Mei Ruoyan's enemy and his own enemy, there is no reason to let him go now, but as His Royal Highness the King of Ling, he is the second prince of the dynasty, but he can't take revenge by breaking into the palace and assassinating like Mei Ruoyan.

Xiao Yuzhi has always been ambitious, dissatisfied with the crown prince of the current dynasty, and wants to seize the crown prince, and even has the intention of colluding with internal and external forces to rebel.

Therefore, revenge against Xiao Yuzhi is by no means simply killing him. According to Shao Xi's principle of revenge, it is too cheap for him, and Shao Xi's revenge method is to completely dash his hopes, and let him know that after trying his best and calculating everything, he will end up in vain.

It is not difficult to take a person's life, shattering a person's dream is the most effective revenge, Shao Xi felt that Mei Ruoyan was a bit reckless to enter the Ling Wang's Mansion at night to assassinate.

What Mei Ruoyan said to Shao Xi, Shao Xi is willing to choose to believe, but choosing to believe does not mean that there are no doubts.

"Why didn't you mention this to me in the first place? Don't you believe me? Mei Ruoyan shook her head and said, "How could I not believe you?" But what good is it for you that I tell you all this? I know that you, as an official of the court, owe allegiance to the Holy One of our day.

"And that Xiao Yuzhi is the son of the current saint, I will only tell you this matter to add to your troubles, and the matter of revenge on Xiao Yuzhi is against your loyalty to the saint, how can I make it difficult for you?" Shao Xi believed Mei Ruoyan's statement, and at the same time was quite moved in his heart.

In the face of the revenge of killing her father, she still did not forget to take into account her own situation, but it can be imagined that Mei Ruoyan has put herself in an extremely important position in her heart.

Now that Xiao Yuzhi is the common enemy of himself and Mei Ruoyan, Shao Xi is also avenging Mei Ruoyan, which makes Shao Xi even more determined to take revenge.

Shao Xi has gained a lot from this trip to Nanzhao, and he has collected a lot of evidence of Xiao Yuzhi's crimes, and the next thing to do is to hand over these crimes to the hands of Xiao Changyi, the current saint.

has never had family affection in the face of power, and I believe that Xiao Changyi will not let him go easily after learning that his son has a rebellious heart.

Although it may not take his life immediately, for Xiao Yuzhi, losing Xiao Changyi's trust and cutting off his lifelong thirst for power will make him feel more painful than killing him directly.

What's more, the things that Xiao Yuzhi did were also destined for Xiao Changyi not to leave him in this world, even if it was his own son.

No one wants to put such a time bomb on their side. Since ancient times, the royal family has been affectionate, and when faced with the inheritance of power and the stability of the country, family affection is often not so important.

Now that he has the intention of bringing down Xiao Yuzhi, it is impossible to let Mei Ruoyan do such a stupid thing as assassination.

So, Shao Xi got up and came to Mei Ruoyan's side, gently took her into his arms, and said softly: "I promise you, I will avenge this feud between your father and sister for you, don't ask me why I did this, and don't ask me how I will do it, in short, you don't do such stupid things as assassination in the future."

"There are many ways to get revenge, but you have chosen the least clever one, and if something happens to you, what should you do with me? From today on, you will stay in this Mingfeng Fang to recuperate with peace of mind, and don't care about anything.

"I assure you that Xiao Yuzhi will definitely pay the price for what he has done, and making him pay the price does not require you to risk your life again, you just need to be patient and wait for the result." Mei Ruoyan rested her head on Shao Xi's shoulder and nodded without hesitation, she believed what Shao Xi said, she believed that Shao Xi would definitely be able to do it since she said such a thing.

Therefore, when Shao Xi told her not to ask, she did not have the slightest doubt or hesitation, she knew that as long as Shao Xi made a promise, no matter how big the price was, it would definitely be fulfilled, just because Shao Xi was a man of promises.

The two leaned together for a long time, and Shao Xi finally asked again, "How did you get hurt?" Who hurt you? This is the third time Shao Xi has asked Mei Ruoyan about this, his beloved woman was hurt, of course he wants to know how it hurt?

Who was hurt? For those who harm their own women, Shao Xi will never forgive. Mei Ruoyan didn't seem to pay attention to her injury, and just replied casually: "My injury is not serious, it's just some skin injuries!" When he sneaked into the bedroom of Xiao Yuzhi in the Lingwang Mansion, he found that his martial arts were not bad, and he was injured by his sword qi for a moment of carelessness. ”

"Oh? What is the state of your martial arts now? ”
