Chapter 10 Doubts Still Exist

Nie Kong came forward and said respectfully, "I've heard your wife's name for a long time. It's too late to meet. Please be worshipped by Nie Kong!"

Huanying quickly returned the salute, "How dare you? The little girl has seen Nie Junshi. If there is anything wrong in the future, I hope the military division will take care of her more!"

"Ha ha, well, you two are welcome. It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Zhuo Ruitong greeted with a smile, leading the three people out of the compartment.

Huan lingered with a robe half covering his face. With the help of Xiaoci, he followed Zhuo Ruitong, and Nie Kong fell to the end. As he walked, he still looked around alertly, and his face was dignified. He seemed not very happy about the fact that he had just captured the assassin.

After settling down Huanxuan and Xiaoci in an attic not far from the Goblet Palace, Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong said a few words and then left. The late-night wind made their cheeks hurt, but Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong walked along the granite path in the palace.

After a while, Nie Kong took the lead in saying, "Lord, do you think tonight's assassin is too strange?"

"Yes, I've been thinking about this question. Why did he go straight to the Goblet Palace? Judging from his behavior, he probably wants to see the true identity of Huanying, but Huanying has only been in Weijun for a few days. Except for a few people in the Wei Palace, who knows her hiding place?" Zhuo Ruitong frowned slightly, as if to answer Nie Kong, but also as if to talk to himself.

"Not only that, the rune cards he carries with him are also very suspicious. The King of Wu is thousands of miles away and is fighting with the army of the imperial court. The two sides have been holding each other for more than two months. How can the King of Wu have time to pay attention to Concubine Xuan and take ten thousand steps back? Even if the King Wu has an eyeliner in the palace, he still wants to use Concubine Xuan as an article, but Xiaoci is a secret. The person who took away Concubine Xuan, what's more, his identity was not exposed before. How could the other party follow Weijun? In addition, we have released the news that Concubine Xuan was poisoned by the Empress Dowager Li, which is only good for the King of Wu. It's too late for him to take advantage of it. Why do this and send people to Wei County to investigate? Nie Kong put his hands in the sleeve robe, shrank his body, and then said, "Besides about the rune card. After the king of Wu rose up, in order to control the occupied city, he needed this kind of rune card for traffic, so there must be many people holding the pass card. It is easy to get it, so his subordinates think that the assassin is the king of Wu or not. People, this symbol is not credible.

"That's what I think!" Zhuo Ruitong smiled bitterly, "Look, the assassin would rather bite the poison hidden in his teeth and kill himself than reveal his identity, but why does he carry a pass card with him? Isn't it a little want to cover up!"

"But he is indeed not from Weijun. Prince, do you think he will still be the spy of Bei Rong's infiltration into Middle-earth?"

"It's unlikely. First, it's much easier to explore in such a inferior way than Ning Tanger to cover up and investigate in her identity. Second, for the same reason, Bei Rong only hopes that the more chaotic the middle soil is, the better. He can't wait for the muddy water to stir up the fish. It's not too much!"

"So there is only the imperial court left?" After Nie Kong asked, he shook his head and denied it. "Although it seems that this is the most likely now, the death of the imperial concubine has been inspected by the medical officer. How can the court suspect the king of Wei just because of the disappearance of Xiaoci? Of course, the biggest flaw is still in the rune. If it is tracked by order, there is no need for the assassin to carry the passage token of the king of Wu.

"Maybe it's just to confuse the public!" Zhuo Ruitong stopped and turned around and patted Nie Kong on the shoulder. "No matter who is instructed by the assassin, since he can sneak into the royal palace, he has been hiding for more than a day, which means..."

"There is an internal response!" Nie Kong said in a low voice what Zhuo Ruitong had not finished.

Zhuo Ruitong nodded and was about to say something more, but at this time, a more fierce wind blew, and the fine sand raised with the wind came to his face. When the wind passed, Zhuo Ruitong put down his covered sleeves and sighed thoughtfully, "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop. It's not that I want to fight with the royal brother, but to fight. Now I'm afraid that I can't help it. We are."

"Don't worry too much, Lord!" Nie Kong was a little embarrassed, because his eyes were fascinated by fine sand, so he had to try his best to clean it up. "The world is unpredictable. The cycle of cause and effect. Let's do our best to follow our destiny!"

When Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong wandered in the royal palace, Huanxuan and Xiaoci in the attic were also sleepless.

Perhaps it is because the attic has not been used for a long time. In addition, it was cleaned up in a hurry, and the servants have time to burn incense in the future. Therefore, although it has been swept clean, Huanling always feels that there is still a smell of dust in the air, and the space is limited. This night, she and Xiaoci finally had to sleep in the same room.

Huanxuan turned over and turned his face to see another couch away from each other. Xiaoci leaned against the head of the bed and stared at the beam with wide eyes, motionless.

Huanxuan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Ci, do you have any mistakes or suspicious people on the way back to the palace?"

"I've thought that in four days, from the capital to Weijun, I didn't stop day and night. Except for buying dry food on the road and asking for water from households twice, I haven't encountered any suspicious people or things at all." The little porcelain man did not move, but her answer confirmed Huanxuan's guess.

"Will there be anyone who follows Wei County all the way like this?"

"I don't know", Xiaoci's words were helpless. "At that time, you took the fake death medicine, and you had to take another antidote within seven days, otherwise it would come true. I was only worried about whether I could get back in time, so I patronize the whip to drive. Is it really my negligence?"

Huan was stunned. It turned out that Xiaoci ran around so desperately to save herself. No matter what the reason was, she drove day and night for four days. Presumably, her physical strength had already been overdrawn. It was really a loss that she could survive and serve her side with anger. Is the relationship between her and Xiaoci these days all because of herself? Too stubborn about the past?

Thinking about it from birth to death, in just one hour, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Zhen's Gong'e surrounded her, and then counted her unwarranted crimes such as her loss of morality and rebellion. Then Empress Dowager Li gave her a glass of poisoned wine. Xiaoci personally brought it to her, with a cold face that she did not notice it. At a slight point, she was full of sadness and watched the cowardly man abandon her. She thought that she would be separated forever. Unexpectedly, four days later, she died and came back to life.

From death to life, she experienced four days of dusty things, and she did not know it at all. Compared with death, life seemed to be more frightening. However, after four days of sleep, her world was also completely subverted. The former trust and companionship were betrayed in an instant. The former promise and tenderness have also become poison that no one can solve, such as ants. She eats insects and hurts her bone marrow. From then on, she may also disturb her peace at night. However, the distant one who thought she was forgotten quietly came to her side and became the only force she could use after her rebirth. She thought she hated. She happened to have the friendship of trying to save her life. From Princess Ying to Mrs. Ying, is her life really the right one. Bury all the past and start again?

"It's not necessarily your negligence." Huanling tried her best to comfort Xiaoci with a plain tone. "In a word, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you and me to show up easily, but it's not a way to hide it all the time. When Wei Wang comes back tomorrow morning, you can ask Wei Wang to prepare some for us. You need to use it. After a change of appearance, a generous access may be the best hiding.

Xiao Ci turned over and sat up, stared at Huanying for a while, and nodded, "Madam is right. I changed my face, but Xiaoci suddenly thought of another person. Does my wife still remember that the former prince was planted with witchcraft, which caused the former emperor to be depressed and bedridden?"

The joy lingered quietly, "Xiao Ci, what do you mean by this?"

"When the former prince Zhuo Luan was planted, he had a hunch that the situation was not good, so he broke out of the palace gate and the gate with a guard overnight, in an attempt to escape to take refuge in the Hu Ben camp located 30 miles away from the city. Because Lang Dingyuan, the head of the Hu Ben camp, had a good relationship with the prince at that time, and he knew that the prince was a man, protected by the Hu Ben camp, first The emperor had to think twice and make a decision. Even Li Jin and others did not dare to touch the prince. Unfortunately, as soon as the prince was not far from the city gate, he was intercepted by Li Jin's people. He did not have the opportunity to enter the palace to sue. He gave him poisoned wine and self-deadjustment on the spot. The reason why he was intercepted so quickly was that someone in the guards told Li Jin. Xin, this person was later awarded the title of Loyalty and lived in the capital. He raised a lot of dead men to provide for the Li family's party to do wrong.

"I know this man," Huanying frowned, "His name is Lou Xun. Do you suspect that tonight's assassin is Lou Xun's subordinate?"
