After listening to Xia Heng's analysis, Rong Huan thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "In this way, this killer originally wanted to assassinate someone casually at the banquet and create chaos, but it happened that the palace gave her to Lao Qi, so Lao Qi became her assassination target, not deliberately targeted." ”

He turned his gaze, and the bottom of his eyes showed a little confusion, looked at Xia Heng with some puzzlement, and asked: "According to Mr. guess, this poison should have been smeared later, which means that this killer originally didn't plan to use poison to stab, but why did he suddenly poison it later?" If the intention is to take people's lives, why not use the poison that seals the throat with blood? ”

Xia Heng seemed to have expected him to ask this question, so he smiled, his face showed a bit of confidence, and said: "This is the most strange part of the whole thing, why did that killer have a cold dream for a thousand nights, and why did he suddenly change his mind and poison him when he was assassinated." Xia pondered for a long time, and now he finally has some eyebrows, and he may be able to guess a thing or two. ”

Seeing that he looked full of confidence, Rong Wei knew that he might have already made up his mind a decision, and hurriedly asked: "Since this is the case, then Mr. Lao will solve the doubts of this palace." ”

Xia Heng leaned back slightly, looked past the lantern, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "The reason why Xia is suspicious of King Huai is also because at the time of the assassination, in addition to the killer, only King Huai had the opportunity to poison himself, if it was done by King Huai, then all this can be explained." But after listening to His Royal Highness's analysis, Xia Mou thought that if King Huai did this at this time, he would put himself on the cusp, and there would be all kinds of harm and no benefit for him, even if it was to confuse us and want to do the opposite, it would be useless. Since it wasn't King Huai's doing, it could only be the killer. ”

He paused, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then expressed the conjecture in his heart: "When Xia was stationed in the south with the general, he heard several Jianghu guests mention this cold dream for a thousand nights. This poison originally came from the Western Regions, because the quantity was very small, the price was expensive, and it could not immediately see blood to seal the throat, so there were very few people who used it, unless there was some deep hatred and wanted to torture the other party to death, otherwise ordinary people would not choose to use it. Xia recalled the killer, the Western Regions dance she danced was not inferior to those Western Regions dancers, thinking that she should have studied the Western Regions quite well, so it is not surprising that she has a cold dream for a thousand nights. As far as Xia knows, many killers have a habit of hiding poison on themselves or in their fingernails, in case they encounter some sudden situations during the assassination process, and even use it to save their lives if necessary. She thought that this was just a simple assassination, and there was no need to use poison to deal with these powerless civil officials, so she didn't smear those bloody poisons on her weapons, but just habitually hid the cold dreams in her nails. But when she assassinated King Huai, she unexpectedly found that King Huai's martial arts were not low, which not only disrupted her position, but even threatened her life, so in a hurry, she wiped the cold dream hidden in her nails on the Emei thorn. When King Huai confronted her, he once grabbed the Emei thorn with his hand, and his hand was stained with a cold dream for a thousand nights, after the Emei thorn was shocked out of the body, Xia saw him subconsciously cover the wound, so the poison seeped into the body from the wound. ”

Rong Wei frowned when he heard this, and a few complicated colors appeared in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Xia Heng, and there was still some disbelief in his eyes: "Mr. is saying that all this is a coincidence, although the process is wrong, but it is crooked?" ”

Faced with Rong Huan's suspicious inquiry, Xia Heng smiled bitterly and explained: "Although it is a little unbelievable, according to the clues we have obtained so far, only this explanation is the most reasonable. ”

Rong Wei was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and agreed with Xia Heng's statement, "Mr. 's words are not unreasonable. Then he seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and a contemptuous smile flashed in his gloomy eyes, "The fourth and eighth think that if they twist into a rope, they can bring down the palace, but they really can't do it, and they don't want to think about whether they have the ability to do it." For so many years, they have been like two mad dogs, biting the palace, but now it is good, not only did they not calculate the palace, but they even lifted a stone and hit their own feet. ”

The disdain on his face was particularly obvious, faintly revealing a state of arrogance and arrogance, Xia Heng couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and reminded with a solemn expression: "Your Highness must not underestimate the enemy, although King An and King Ning's wisdom is not as good as Your Highness, but the power of their two mother clans should not be underestimated, and now that they have joined forces to deal with you, Your Highness should be more careful, so as not to fall into the trap again." If you want to eradicate them completely, you need to wait for the right time. ”

"Waiting for the right time? Heh, how much time does the gentleman think this palace has to wait? Rong Wei sneered, his eyes were dyed with a hint of gloom, and he said sarcastically: "Now that my father has repeatedly hinted to the palace, let the palace persuade the ancestor to disarm and return to the field, and hand over the military power in the north, how long does Mr. think the crown prince of the palace can sit?" ”

Xia Heng smiled indifferently, revealing a profound meaning, he lifted the teapot and poured a new cup of tea for himself, and said leisurely: "The emperor's idea of taking back the general's military power is not just a recent one. Your Royal Highness can rest assured that the general has guarded the northern border for many years, deterring the northern barbarians from daring to attack, and his prestige in the eyes of the people is so high, unless the general voluntarily disarms, even the emperor will not dare to come hard. As long as the general guards the northern border for one day, His Royal Highness, the crown prince, can sit firmly for one day. ”

"Sir's words, this palace doesn't understand." Rong Wei sighed, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a wry smile, and vaguely revealed a trace of unwillingness, "But my father seems to have never agreed with the prince of this palace, over the years, he has turned a blind eye, allowing others to sit on an equal footing with this palace, watching them calculate and suppress this palace again and again, in my father's heart, he can't look down on this palace after all." ”

Hearing this, Xia Heng smiled meaningfully, "Why should Your Highness speculate on the emperor's thoughts, Your Highness must not forget, in addition to the emperor in this world, the general is also His Highness's relatives, and the general cares most about His Highness, even if it is stormy outside, the general will be desperate to cover His Highness." ”

He flicked the foam from the tea until they disappeared, then he looked up at Rong Huan, his eyes seemed deep and subtle, and he said sonorously and firmly: "Your Highness, relax, all the obstacles under you are just stepping stones for Your Highness to ascend to a high position." The shoal Wolong finally got the water, and the sea turned over the river. As long as His Highness polishes the sword in his heart to be sharp enough, when the clouds gather and the wind rises, it will be the day of His Highness's Dragon Soaring for Nine Days. ”
