Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 165
When this farce is completely over, it will be three quarters of an ugly time.As soon as Emperor Xiaowen and his concubine left, all the people in Shuchunxuan dispersed like birds and beasts.

Li Jiayin was already frightened to death. She never thought that behind a piece of pajamas, there was a murderous intention that could kill three people.

Seeing that Huo Qi and Wang Rong were still calm, she felt as if she had caught a life-saving straw, and wanted to get some comfort from the two of them, but after thinking about it, Huo Qi was also involved in the storm tonight. Will there be any future troubles?He couldn't wait to drag Wang Rong back to Yupeng Hall.Nie Ying had a frank face, and followed the two of them gracefully.

Luo Rou still had lingering fears in her heart, watching the backs of the other three people leaving, she couldn't help snorting coldly: "Nie Ying is so sinister, just now in front of His Majesty, she dared to say that the emerald bracelet on Biyun's hand is yours! Acting as if nothing had happened, I don't know who is deliberately disgusting!"

Unexpectedly, Huo Qi just smiled at her: "That bracelet is indeed my personal property. I don't mind. You can go with them first. I want to be alone for a while, okay?"

Luo Rou was taken aback for a moment, she knew that Huo Qi was feeling uncomfortable now, and she was used to being a loner on weekdays, so she didn't insist anymore, she just patted her hand: "I understand, then you should be careful." After finishing speaking Then he stuffed the silk lantern in Huo Qi's hand into Huo Qi's palm, and he took the skirt and chased after him.

Looking at Luo Rou's back, Huo Qi couldn't help but smile, then turned around and walked out along the corridor outside Shuchunxuan.

This is a small road, although it can also lead to Yupeng Hall, but it is a long way around, and it is deep and secluded, so almost no one wants to take this road in the middle of the night.But for Huo Qi, who was restless at this time, it was the best refuge.

She walked slowly all the way, but her mind was spinning rapidly.

What happened tonight happened so suddenly that it almost caught her off guard.

Since she entered the palace, it seemed that a carefully woven net was slowly approaching her.First, they ran into Le Yun's body by the octagonal well, then sewed pajamas for the concubine, and finally found musk in her room.

She has now determined that Wang Quan, Shao Zhen, Liu Yizheng, Jade... and even Biyun who slandered her are all pawns carefully arranged by Concubine Shu to deal with her.Otherwise, how could Jade, an inconspicuous little character, instigate Dr. Liu to do things for her?
The only person whose position she couldn't decide was Lexuan.

Tonight, in order to clear Lexuan's suspicion, the fifth prince even stepped on her hard in front of everyone.And it was precisely this behavior that convinced her that Lexuan did not receive such a large amount of musk by coincidence, but played a pivotal role in this drama.Otherwise, no matter how favored the fifth prince was, he would never dare to say those specious words to Le Xuan in front of Emperor Xiaowen.

Huo Qi frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be that Le Xuan was the one who tampered with that pajamas?And the fifth prince acquiesced to all this happening behind his back?

Could it be that Concubine Shu's plan tonight was to arrange two groups of people, with Lexuan as the open line and Jade as the hidden line?
Huo Qi quickly denied his thoughts.

Concubine Shu's purpose was nothing more than to take care of both her and Concubine Zhen at the same time.Since the bright line of Jade has been arranged, why bother to let Lexuan use such a clumsy way to attack the concubine again?
Moreover, the map of power relations that Shen Yuning gave her never mentioned that Le Xuan belonged to Concubine Shu.

The night was dark, and even though it was early summer, the night in the capital was still a bit cool.A gust of cold wind hit her, and Huo Qi suddenly felt a sharp pain deep in her knees. She bent down in pain, pressed her left knee tightly with one hand and rubbed it, trying to relieve the unprotected pain.

No one knew that since she was thrown off the horse by Huo Chi, her legs had suffered from old problems.It doesn't affect anything on weekdays, but once moisture enters the body on rainy days, it will happen faintly.She had been kneeling for a long time tonight, and as she exposed herself even more, her knees became disobedient again.

He didn't know how long it had been like this, but a slender hand appeared in front of Huo Qi's eyes. The joints were clear, thin and fair, showing an invitation.

Huo Qi looked up and saw Shen Yuning standing next to her.It is said that beauty can be seen under the lamp, and gentlemen can be seen under the moon.Shen Yuning was born with a captivating personality. At this time, the moonlight was hazy, the lights were swaying, and the shadows were blurred. His face was like a god, revealing a grace and spirit that was not seen in the daytime.

She was stunned for a while, why did this man walk so quietly?
Shen Yuning didn't wait until the warm touch came from the palm of her hand, and took Huo Qi's forearm first, and helped her up.He said: "Can you still bear it?"

"It's okay." Huo Qi shook his head lightly.

Shen Yuning sized her up with frowned eyebrows, and seeing that her figure was clearly unstable, she couldn't help being aroused a bit angrily: "It seems that you really treat me as a blind person."

Huo Qisha said: "How could Your Highness be blind? Tonight, thanks to His Highness's assessment of the situation, he found something wrong with Chun Xiao, otherwise, the knees of this minister will have to suffer at least another quarter of an hour."

If Huo Qi is willing to flatter him, he will definitely be able to make people's hearts burst into joy.It's just that she seldom caters to outsiders, on the contrary, she is very handy in front of the Huo family.

Huo Qi and Huo Xian slipped out to ride horses when they were young, and they would return at dusk. Huo Xian would always be scolded by Wang Shi, but Huo Qi always liked to hold Wang Shi's arm and act coquettishly, which made Wang Shi every time. I let it go lightly every time, and couldn't bear to say heavy words.

Having known Shen Yuning for so long, Huo Qi found that his dog-legged skills are increasing day by day.It's just that at the beginning it was a last resort, but now it's subconsciously trying to make him happy.

Shen Yuning was really very useful, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't always call me 'His Royal Highness', and don't always call yourself 'Minister', I don't like to hear such sour words."

Huo Qi found it interesting that these titles of princes and princes represented not only a few simple words, but also a huge symbol of power behind the words.How many people work hard just to build their self-esteem through these illusory titles?
But Shen Yuning was born with these things, but never cared about them.

But after thinking about it, she realized again that Gou Yue seemed to have never called His Highness Shen Yuning.There was an inextricable knot between him and Emperor Xiaowen, which may be one of the reasons.

She understood and respected this.

"Yes, I understand." Huo Qi paused.

Shen Yuning's face turned slightly bright, and she naturally took the silk palace lantern held in Huo Qi's hand: "I'll go with you and take you back. Also, hold on to me."

Huo Qi looked at Shen Yuning's casual but stubborn expression. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Instead, he stepped back and gently grabbed Shen Yuning's broad sleeves: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Let's go together."

The two walked side by side in the deep palace road, the air was as quiet as a pool of water.Huo Qi said a little unnaturally: "How did you see something wrong with Chun Xiao tonight? If you just rely on his expression, isn't it too amazing?"

"Of course not." Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows, "Don't you think that Chunxiao's existence tonight is out of date?"

Huo Qi frowned and pondered for a moment, even subconsciously ignoring the pain in his knees: "It seems so... Chunxiao is the closest court lady around the concubine Zhen, concubine Zhen lives and dies tonight. Waiter, on the contrary, it is very abnormal to stay behind in the main room outside."

"That's right. You can tell there's something wrong with her expression at a glance, but everyone's attention was on you and Lexuan at that time." Shen Yuning said.

Huo Qi's face flashed suddenly: "Your Highness's words mean that Chun Xiao hopes that someone will see her abnormality, so that she can push her to answer in front of His Majesty?" In a flash, she suddenly realized, "Chun Xiao did this, could it be? The concubine Zhen specially arranged it? Could it be that the concubine Zhen knew that Concubine Shu was going to kill her long ago!"

"Smart." Shen Yuning smiled.He touched the back of Huo Qi's head, but this move was not ambiguous, but seemed to be a subconscious behavior to express appreciation.
