Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 1078: Night Banquet Killing Intent, An Eye For An Eye (2)
"It's not interesting!" Cheng Yan smiled, pretending not to see his expression, but let out a long breath while looking at the dawn outside, "Your Highness has worked so hard to keep Concubine Xuan, and she didn't hesitate to bear the burden of killing the king." A great crime, such dedication and courage make one—”

She probably wanted to praise a few words, but for such a thing as a woman killing her own father——

You can't boast like extravagantly, right?

Halfway through the conversation, Cheng Yu felt a little embarrassed, covered her lips and coughed, and then continued: "In short, I have no ill intentions towards Your Highness."

Of course Yin Shu knew what was really going on in her heart.

But he didn't care, he just moved the corners of his lips slightly, raised a cold smile, looked up at Cheng Yu and said, "Don't be in a hurry to show favors, and don't be in a hurry to give favors to this king. What did this king do and what did he plan?" , these are none of your business, but since you took the initiative to come to the door today, then don’t go around and talk about your affairs first! What are you looking for this king for? It is true that this king is very concerned about the whole story of the assassination incident last night. I am a little interested in the details, so what about you? You took the initiative to show favor with me, what purpose and request do you have? You will never tell me that you just wanted to do good deeds on a whim, right? "

Cheng Yu was more calm and composed when he spoke so straightforwardly.

She also lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, then put down the tea bowl, stood up suddenly, put her hands on the table, looked closely at the young man's face that was too cold and immature, and said word by word: "Could it be Is it true that His Highness did all those things just for Princess Xuan?"

Yin Shu also had the ambition to get involved in the throne, and this thought should have been activated before he knew Song Chuxi.

Cheng Yu stared at him intently, paying attention to any slight changes in his expression.

Yin Shu's complexion remained the same, but he slowly held the tea leaves in the cup calmly, and said in a low voice, "So?"

Cheng Yu didn't reply right away, and stared at him carefully for a while, but she really didn't see any flaws in this young man.

Somewhat disappointed, she sat back on the chair again, and sighed wistfully, "Who knows why? It's just that I'm a little tired of living in this kind of confinement in the capital, so I was thinking, what if I come to show you in advance?" Well, if His Royal Highness Kang Wang can do something in the future, maybe he can support me."

Hearing the words, Yin Shu laughed like a joke, and said: "The obituary of the father's death should be published today. If it is soon, today, or if it is late, the crown prince will be enthroned as emperor tomorrow. At this time—— —You came to find this king? Why don’t you go to him?”

"He is His Highness's elder brother. Doesn't His Highness know who it would be more useful for me to find?" Cheng Yu didn't think so, and didn't care about his teasing at all.

Yin Shao is very vicious and domineering, and will not allow anyone to negotiate conditions with him.

Although what Cheng Yu said was a legitimate reason, it was still too far-fetched for Yin Shu.

However, he didn't point it out, and just continued calmly: "Oh! Then what do you expect this king to do? You don't think that within a day or two, this king will be able to turn things around and bring the world to an end. Shall I fall over?"

Cheng Yu frowned, and finally became a little more serious at the moment, looked at Yin Shu and said, "Could it be that His Royal Highness Kang Wang is going to leave it like this?"

Yin Shu just smiled and said nothing.

The situation in front of me is indeed not to be reversed.

Cheng Yu didn't know what to do in his heart, and suddenly felt a thousand things going on, and his mind became a little confused.

Her eyes were messed up, she turned around, then gritted her teeth, forced herself to calm down and said, "Forget it, even if I shouldn't have come, I have already come. In fact, I just said those words casually. His Royal Highness Kang Wang thinks that I am talking too much, so forget about it.”

As she spoke, she breathed out again, and then looked at Yin Shu seriously again: "Speaking of this matter, the affairs of the imperial court have little to do with me, and I am self-aware, so I will not try to incite Your Highness if I am overwhelmed. What to do, it’s just about the assassination of King Xuan last night—I have some doubts and confusions, but I can’t figure it out. Your Highness, King Kang, must be the one who knows King Xuan and his wife better than me? So I’m the one who came to ask His Highness, please help me? "

What she said made more sense.

It was only then that Yin Shu was willing to talk to her, so he finally turned around and confronted her face to face, "Isn't it that Uncle Eleven encountered a killer on his way back to the mansion? The news I got from this king is that someone rushed to the scene when the incident happened. Although the specific reason is unknown, but it can't be done, what kind of tricks is he still playing in full view?"

"That being said—" Cheng Yan was also puzzled, she frowned vigorously, recalled what happened last night, and then said: "To tell you the truth, when the assassin incident happened last night, I happened to be there Among the first batch of people who rushed over, everything was not suspicious at all. At that time, Wei Heng was chasing the assassins, and the guard of honor in the motorcade of Prince Xuan's Mansion was not too far ahead. When I passed, I observed carefully. However, everything was really normal at that scene, and there were no signs."

"Huh?" Yin Shu immediately caught the most important information inside.

He pondered, "That is to say, the first time you saw the scene where Wei Heng and the assassin were fighting, King Xuan and his wife were not there? How long did it take you to find them?"

"It's not that far away, it's less than half a mile away, and I was already doubtful at the time, how long do you think it will take to walk there at my pace?" Cheng Yu said.

It really didn't take much time, and everyone could see each other in the time it took to drink saliva.

Even if Cheng Yu thinks there is something suspicious here, but in such a blink of an eye, what earth-shattering things can be done without leaving any signs or flaws?

Yin Shu didn't take it lightly, he pursed his lips and thought about it for a while, but in the end he didn't think of anything.

Cheng Yu stared at him from the side for a long while, but at this moment she was inevitably disappointed, "Does His Highness King Kang think I'm overthinking?"

"As a man, he would never make such a move just to get angry with Yin Shao." Yin Shu didn't comment, just curled his lips.

It was because this incident did not match Yin Zhan's personality, so they all felt weird, but everything that happened before and after was coherent and normal, and there was no doubt at all!
"Then maybe—we're all overthinking?" In the end, that's all Cheng Yu said.

She stood up, the same as when Yin Shu first entered the door, and finally smiled generously, "It's probably true that I've been in this capital for a long time, it's too boring, don't blame it, Your Highness!"
