Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 422 Xu Jing's Death
Xiao Huai's words suddenly made Shen Xi think of Xu Jing.

She also had a marriage contract with Xu Jing, if Xu Jing is still there, what will happen to Xiao Huai?What about Xu Jing?And what about herself?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help hooking his neck, pressed against his chest and said, "I'm sorry."

It was she who made him so jealous.

As for Xu Jing, her guilt may only be more...

My heart is in a mess.

What I thought was suppressed before may just be deliberate paralysis.

Xiao Huai hugged her waist, bowed his head and kissed her hair: "Don't say sorry to me. You don't owe me anything. I don't mind if I made a mistake.

"If there is a mistake I really mind, then it's no use saying sorry."

Shen Xi sighed.

The Mei family is very sensible and knows that the Shen family is busy, so they haven't mentioned the marriage of the two families recently.

After Shen Suiguang's marriage, there were homecoming banquets and confession banquets one after another, and they didn't gradually subside until late March.

This day Huo Jiu finished his work and booked a private room in Lanyue Building to have dinner with He Lanzhun and Yang Qian, and after the meal he booked a play in Fengxiang's troupe.

Xiao Huai just happened to pass by the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard that Yang Qian was going to attend an appointment, he also followed him for a meal, and he sent someone to call Shen Xi along.

When Shen Xi heard that Huo Jiu had called Yang Qian, he couldn't help laughing secretly, was he planning to coax his future brother-in-law over first?
The place was tidied up, and before going out, he suddenly received a letter from Li Chen, the guard who was going to track down Lingyun Pavilion.

The Lingyun Pavilion group headed to the southwest had already arrived in Yunnan, and as soon as they arrived, they went straight to a small villa called Bulu Town, and stayed in the post station with their hidden identities.

The matter is important, but they can't spoil their interest, lest Xiao Huai come back again, so he presumes that he is not feeling well and doesn't want to go.

After sitting alone in the room for a while, he took out the dossier of Prince Cheng's Mansion that he had sorted out a few days ago.

Then she called Qi Jiu.

"Is there any more news about Lingyun Pavilion in the past few days?" She asked.

"No." Qi Jiu shook his head, "It's Mrs. Mu who came to report, saying that Shi Di had some complaints about Han Dun to the outside world recently, and Han Dun was sent to the mansion by Mrs. Bi a few days ago to speak. After returning, he looked It doesn't seem very good, I guess it's not a good thing."

Shen Xi didn't say anything after hearing this, just kept silent.

Qi Jiudao: "What happened?"

Shen Xi frowned and handed the letter in his hand to her: "The people from Lingyun Pavilion rushed towards them. It looks like they are aiming right. I was thinking, could there really be people from Helian there?"

Qi Jiu also looked solemn after reading it.

She said: "It may not be true, as you said before, it may also be Han Dun's conspiracy."

"It may indeed be a conspiracy." She exhaled, "But if it is a conspiracy, why did Han Dun point out the location of the conspiracy in Yunnan?

"Xu Jing also died in Yunnan. I'm not afraid of Han Dun's conspiracy. What I'm afraid of is whether Yunnan really has something to do with the Helian people?"

When Qi Jiu heard this, he also took it for granted.

If Han Dun wanted to lure Shen Xi into a fool for no reason, why did he have to go so far to Yunnan?
Moreover, although Lingyun Pavilion is directly under the control of Queen Mother Zheng, it is also within the twelve guards of the pro-army after all.

With the current relationship between Liang Xiu and Han Dun, if they found something wrong, how could they be willing to be used as pawns by Han Dun?
In this way, there must be a reason why Han Dun chose Yunnan.

"But why does it have something to do with Xu Jing?" she said.

"Even if Xu Jing passed away in Yunnan, it might not have anything to do with the subsequent war, let alone the Helian people after so many years.

"Are you suspecting that he wants to make a fuss about Xu Jing's death because of the Xu Family Graveyard?
"For example, fabricating some signs with half truth and half falsehood, so that Lingyun Pavilion has to cooperate with him to force you to reveal your true colors with the mentality that you would rather kill by mistake than let it go?"

"All his plots against me must be to make me fall into the quagmire related to the Helian people." Shen Xi said, "But what I want to talk about now is not only this.

"Aside from the fact that he lured the people from Lingyun Pavilion to Yunnan and possibly captured the Helian people, I'm still wondering if there are still mysteries about Xu Jing that I haven't solved yet."

Speaking of this, she raised her head: "I always think that the person who helped Wen Chan erase his traces in the past must have some purpose for me, otherwise why would he help Wen Chan kill me?
"And it is certain that this person has something to do with Prince Cheng's Palace.

"Prince Cheng and I are at best close neighbors, if he wants to target Prince Cheng's mansion, why does he expect me to die?

"At first, I didn't think about it, but I suddenly thought that Daqin's subjugation might have something to do with this person's desire to take revenge on Prince Cheng's residence.

"Because Prince Cheng is a family member, stabbing his youngest son to death caused an uproar. If this person really has a blood feud and wants to become a prince with his own hands, wouldn't the best way be to bring down the entire Great Qin?

"With the death of Daqin, wouldn't it be the end of Prince Cheng's mansion?"

When Qi Jiu heard this, all she could do was follow her around. "You mean, when he helped Wen Chan kill you back then, his ultimate goal was to bring down Daqin? But that's too—"

It's unbelievable.

It is not so easy to bring down a dynasty.

Shen Xi followed suit, but her eyes were still full of seriousness: "Back then, the Zhang family was the most powerful and prestigious family in Daqin, and my father was even the chief assistant of the dynasty.

"As for the Xu family, they are in control of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion. Although their power is not as powerful as the current King Yan's Mansion, they are still the first and most powerful nobles in Daqin.

"The marriage between me and Xu Jing is tantamount to forming an alliance with the leading civil servants and generals in the dynasty.

"What's more, the queen at that time was still my cousin, and Queen Xiao's natal family was also my mother's natal family.

"If I don't die, but marry into the Xu family, it means that the court has formed a solid triangle, and no one can destroy this interest group.

"At that time, the court situation had not yet reached the point where there was no cure. If Zhang Xu and his family joined forces to control the court and eliminate the bad government, the chances of reversing the adverse trend of Daqin would be more than [-]% to [-]%!"

Qi Jiu was already in a daze when she heard this!

She only cares about her errands and doesn't care about government affairs, but after she said this, she felt a little enlightened.

"The Zhang family only has one daughter, if I die, there will be no young lady in the Zhang family to marry into the Xu family.

"Based on Xu Jing's determination, if I die suddenly, it is probably impossible for him to accept another marriage in a short time."

At this time, Shen Xi took a slow breath and said.

"At first, I didn't think so, but when I thought that Xu Jing also accidentally contracted the disease and died just five years after my death, it means that not only I died, but also the most promising and capable children of the Xu family died. Now, this is not a big loss to the Xu family and even Daqin."
