Chapter 14 Suspicion
"you!"

Bei Xing was rendered speechless by these strong words, his eyes were fierce, and he was about to pinch Hua Zuili's neck, as long as he threw this person into Beisi's criminal domain, would he be afraid that she would not tell the truth.

Just as he was about to touch the boy, a chuckle suddenly came from his ear.

"Hehe, well said." Mei Zhuoxue put down the teacup she was playing with, and said leisurely and composedly, "If Gu gets involved in danger so easily, he will not be able to sit firmly as the current crown prince."

"But Your Highness..." Bei Xing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mei Zhuoxue raising her hand.

"Okay, Bei Xing, Gu believes that Mr. Cheng Yun's words are true, these killers were not sent by her." Mei Zhuoxue flashed a smile in her eyes without remembering something.

"But didn't the killer say that he wouldn't betray Mr. Cheng Yun..."

The low voice, like a mosquito, reached everyone's ears like thunder.

Hua Zuili's eyes were deep, she looked silently at Chen Zhisheng who was breathing weakly, and fell to the side covering his wound with his hands. His words undoubtedly reminded everyone present that it doesn't matter whether the silver chopsticks are there or not. Before he died, he yelled at her personally. This evidence is greater than anything else...

Why did Chen Zhisheng say these words? Is it because he blurted out doubts unintentionally, or did he intend to express something...

Mei Zhuoxue's expression became colder, he tapped the table with his fingers, and looked at Chen Zhisheng with vague eyes, "Although Mr. Chen was seriously injured, his hearing is still so good."

Chen Zhisheng heard the faint sarcasm contained in the words, he dragged his weak body and knelt down on the ground, letting the bright red blood stain half of his robe, "I am just worried about your highness's safety, and have no intention of offending Mr. Cheng Yun." , Your Highness, forgive me."

He bowed his head to plead guilty, but he never looked at Hua Zuili from the beginning to the end.

The arrow-blocking wound on his arm was pulled more bloody by raising his hand, and Hua Zuili obviously felt that she received far more doubts and hostility than the injured Chen Zhisheng.

In public and private, this is not a good thing.

"Your Highness." She clasped her fists and said, "Mr. Chen's words are unreasonable. Although the killer was not cited by the minister, the minister is still suspected. Before the matter is clearly investigated, the minister is voluntarily imprisoned for interrogation."

Mei Zhuoxue's eyes were cold, she looked at her for a long time, and said: "Okay."

... * ...

night, come.

With legs bent, Hua Zuili sat on the pile of straw piled up in the woodshed, looking sideways at the stars outside the window, with her right hand hanging down, the black scaled snake on her fingertips swaying her head and rubbing her skin.

"Are you comforting me?" She raised her hand and looked at the little guy walking slowly on her arm. "He said you have spirituality. I didn't believe it at first, but now I see that you are somewhat psychic." look."

The black scaled snake touched her face with its bright red letter.

"It seems that you are a snake that doesn't hold grudges." Hua Zuili stroked the pitch-black scales that seemed to be coated with silver light. Let me give you a name to show my sincerity."

The Black Scaled Snake seemed to understand her words, raised his head, and looked straight at her.

"It's as black as ink, dyed like light, and there is a deadly beauty in danger. Why don't you... call you Dahei."

Dahei: The contrast is a bit big...

Hua Zuili watched Dahei who slowly slid down his arm, came to a corner and curled up in a ball, ignoring her, and laughed softly.

The door lock of the firewood room bumped slightly, Hua Zuili raised her head, and saw a piece of gorgeous red clothes swaying through the edge of the door like a swaying peach blossom.

"Hey, are you still alive?" The pretty woman's voice sounded quietly.

Hua Zuili stood up and walked over, and said loudly through the thick wooden door: "I'm still alive for the time being, is there something wrong with the beauty?"

Qian Mei exhaled, she carefully observed the iron chain that tightened the wooden door, and found that the repeated winding was not as tight as she thought, so she tried to stretch out her hand and pulled it, and actually opened the gap that was about a punch away.

The moonlight shone on the young man in the room, his eyes were clear and jade-like, he stood there with his hands behind his back with a relaxed expression, but he didn't show any slovenliness, and his demeanor was full of elegance.

Qian Mei looked at it, and couldn't help blushing a little.

"Beauty visits late at night, is it possible to feast your eyes?"

"Poor mouth, how can you be so narcissistic." Qian Mei was even more embarrassed by the words, her eyes flickered, and she muttered something like reproach or coquettishly.

Reaching out from her bosom, she took out a package of folded oil paper, and she handed it over: "Here you are."

Hua Zuili took it and opened it, and two steamed vegetarian steamed buns appeared in front of her eyes, "This..."

"Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else." Just as Hua Zuili uttered a sound, Qian Mei hurriedly interrupted her words, "I just have a small appetite and can't eat a lot. I was afraid of wasting it so I brought it to you along the way." .”

"It's not that I heard that you didn't eat for a day, so I sent it specially."

Qian Mei turned her face sideways and muttered softly.

Hua Zuili looked at the steamed stuffed bun in her hand and smiled softly: "Whether it's on the way or on purpose, I will remember the kindness of Beauty Qian Mei."

"Who wants you to write it down." Qian Mei swayed her robe, her fingertips twirling a strand of black hair timidly, she suddenly asked curiously, "Hey, you secretly told me, did you really send an assassin to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince? "

Hua Zuili's hand that was about to take the bun suddenly stopped, she remained calm, "Why do you ask like that?"

"When I went to the dining room, I eavesdropped on the adults in Beisi that the assassination came without warning. Someone must have planned the operation in advance. There are many people who know His Highness's whereabouts. You are the most suspicious person if you get rid of your cronies."

"Why?"

"Because they said that His Highness especially listens to you."

He listens to her?
Hua Zuili played with the steamed stuffed bun in her hand, and suddenly felt that the matter became more and more interesting. The Beisi shadow guards are so skilled, how could such an important investigation secret be overheard by a little girl.

Perhaps, this is to use Qian Mei's mouth to test her reality, maybe at this very moment, there are people from Bei Si around who are secretly observing her every word and deed.

But they must have never expected that the little girl Qian Mei was so down-to-earth that she said everything before asking anything.

It seems that I still don't trust her...

Seeing that she was silent, Qian Mei couldn't help urging: "Oh, what are you thinking, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it, there is nothing to think about."

Hua Zuili weighed the bun in his hand, and said with a smile, "Beauty, have you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?"

"This... of course I've heard it before." Qian Mei stopped turning her hairy fingers, with a bit of embarrassment on her face. Inevitably a little curious."

"Hey, tell me, are those people really coming and going without a trace, as they said in the scriptures, swipe, swipe, swipe—"

"Beauty." Hua Zuili interrupted her helplessly, "It's getting late, you go back to sleep."

"Oh." Seeing that she was not interested in talking, Qian Mei stopped asking, "By the way, remember to eat the buns, I managed to steal them."

The bright back gradually walked away, Hua Zuili sat back on the straw pile again, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and felt her throat tighten, her eyes darkened, and she fell to the ground...
