Chapter 163 Perfect Word of Mouth
She can't do things that are cold-blooded to the people.

If all the other Helian people died under her nose, what's the point of her living well alone?

Her initial thought about this matter was that even if it could not be saved, it could not be harmed.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes to look at her for a while, but his eyes suddenly became dark.

"Are you so sure that this assassin must be from Helian?"

Shen Xi raised his head, frowned and said: "I thought so at first, but now, I don't think so anymore."

"Tell me." Xiao Huai looked over.

Shen Xi pondered, and finally slumped his shoulders: "I can't say it."

Judging from all indications, the possibility of the assassin being a Helian is already very small.But to say for sure no, she has no evidence.

Xiao Huai didn't answer either, he went to sit behind the case and said, "Where did you get this news?"

Shen Xi didn't know what to say to him. After thinking for a while, she followed up and sat beside him: "If I say that someone in this world has lived twice, and that's what happened in her previous life, would you think that I am Lie to you and try to kill me?"

Xiao Huai squinted at her and said, "Don't worry, even if you make up a flower now, I won't believe it."

Shen Xi took a deep breath and stopped talking.

Xiao Huai didn't speak again, he didn't know what he was thinking, his brows and eyes were cold.

At this time Su Yan walked in: "Master He Lan is here."

Xiao Huai nodded slightly, looked at her after a short pause and said, "You go out first, I have something urgent to do."

Shen Xi quickly stood up.

After taking two steps, Xiao Huai suddenly said again: "The guards will escort you to Qianqing Palace.

"Song Jiao has resentment towards me because of the previous marriage proposal. Seeing you come looking for me, it's hard to guarantee that she won't think wildly. Seeing that you have been dealt with by me, she will feel more balanced."

He had inquired about Song Jiao's character a long time ago, and if there was no assassination, he could rest assured, after all, she, Shen Xi, was not a soft-footed shrimp.

But since this matter is so important and Song Jiao has to try to get rid of herself, it is hard to guarantee that she will not talk nonsense in front of Huo Jiu.

Although Huo Jiu is not a foolish person, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

As long as the news of Shen Xi being punished by him reaches her ears, she will calm down a lot.

It was rare for Shen Xi to see him talking so much at once, so he was stunned for a moment.

Why does it sound like you are explaining to her...

"Don't worry." Just as she was stunned, Xiao Huai stood up again, looked at her slightly red and swollen chin and said, "You are now considered a member of my Zhaoyang Palace, if she recruits you, you will follow in front of He Lan Same, bring out your identity in Qionghuatai."

Shen Xi didn't care about Song Jiao, but he nodded.

Then he raised his head again: "Didn't the prince never disclose the matter of Qionghuatai to the outside world?"

If she reveals her identity, won't he be able to hide it?
Xiao Huai said nothing.

Didn't reveal it, didn't they say that they would keep her alive for ten years!

He is a hero in the world and has a perfect reputation, so he doesn't want to fall into the ground of unbelief just because of her.

Shen Xi saw the anger in his eyes, and lowered his head with a smile.

When she didn't know, she was using her as a cover to deal with Song Jiao!But it's okay, anyway, Song Jiao doesn't look like she would treat her as a friend, so she just pretends to be confused.

"Then I will leave first."

She saluted and went out.

When I came out here, I just met He Lanzhun at the door.

He Lanzhun stopped and glanced at her, and went straight into the hall without saying anything.

Xiao Huai waited for him under the curtain.

As he spoke, he unfolded the scroll in his hand and came to him.

"Song Jiao has already drawn the portrait of the eunuch. The assassin has already taken poison and died.

"Besides, he doesn't have any weapons on his body except the dagger and the poison hidden between his teeth, and his blood color is dark red, and he doesn't have any obvious Helian features.

"So maybe your guess is right. Those of us just sang a scene with us."

There was no surprise on Xiao Huai's face.

He swirled the wine in the glass, looked down at the picture scroll, his face turned cold little by little under the glistening wine light.

He Lanzhun waited until he closed his gaze and went back before rolling up the scroll.

"Song Jiao should have nothing to do with the assassin. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so arrogant. But judging from her being used so easily, this person obviously knows her very well."

Xiao Huai walked to the window with the cup in his hand, and said, "There are too many doubts, not just this one?
"Song Jiao was sent by the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager knew in advance that I was also in the Qianqing Palace.

"It's not long since she and I proposed marriage, and Han Dun was obviously squeezed out by me, in this case, why did she have to send Song Jiao over to create embarrassment?
"However, Han Dun was not disobedient to the Queen Mother's arrangements, and he took Song Jiao's gaffe in front of me calmly.

"Besides, Su Yan came to report that she broke into the Ziyao Palace and caused trouble. Why didn't he go and see it in person for such an important matter?
"It's not that he didn't go, but he didn't even have the slightest intention to go."

He Lan Zhun nodded when he heard the words: "Besides, under our strict control, it is also suspicious that an assassin could sneak into the Qianqing Palace."

Xiao Huai took a sip of his wine and said, "The knife that landed on Shen Ruopu's arm doesn't look like the hand of an assassin."

Shen Ruopu was just a civil servant, no matter how quickly he avoided, if the assassin came with the purpose of assassinating, how could he leave only such a harmless wound?
He was already suspicious when he saw the wound on his arm.

Of course, for a moment he also felt that Shen Xi's behavior was suspicious, but if it was said that she had something to do with the assassin, he really couldn't believe it.

Bringing her here, although he was really angry, it was far from enough to make him be cruel to her.

"But Shen Shilang's appearance today made their calculations empty."

He Lanzhun sat down opposite him and also poured a glass of wine, "If it was Han Dun who rescued him today, then he will climb up again in a short time.

"When he ranks among the three princes and gradually controls the court, I am afraid that the day when the Yan Palace will be disintegrated will not be far away."

The hall fell silent, gradually only the sound of wine falling into the bottom of the cup was heard.

Shen Xi was "detained" by the purple-clothed guards and returned to Qianqing Palace. Order had been restored here. Although the defense did not show any sign of relaxation, it was no longer chaotic.

Shen Yan and the others were all standing under the verandah with their silk hands pinched, their eyes lit up when they saw her, but when they saw the guards behind her, they all stood there in a daze.

"Girl!" Pearl's face turned pale.

Shen Xi first turned his head and glanced at the hall. He couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but it was very quiet.Presumably, the situation was completely under control, and there was no more chaos.

"Where's the old lady?" she asked.

Seeing that the guards retreated, Pearl immediately said, "I'm accompanying the emperor in the palace! Elder Han Ge and the queen mother are also there."
