Chapter 516 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (39)
The old housekeeper was even more confused than she was, and he was completely stunned:
"Kui, Kuier, he..."
"He has been safely delivered to the client, who has agreed to tell you the truth."
After hearing the truth narrated by Sikong, Xu Yin and the other three looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Xu Kui's surname is Xiao, and he is the legitimate son of Prince Rui Xiao Su, the only younger brother of the current emperor.
When Princess Rui went to the palace for a banquet, she accidentally ate something. As soon as she left the palace, she began to have labor pains. She gave birth before she could return to the palace. During the chaos of war, a wave of assassins came and snatched the newborn child away.
gone.
Over the years, Prince Rui has been investigating the assassin's mastermind while also searching for his son's whereabouts.
Until three years ago, it was found that Xu Ningxiang, the head of Qizhen Pavilion, had passed through that street in a carriage on the day the princess gave birth. He was about to summon Xu Ningxiang and his wife for questioning, but they did not expect that the couple encountered bandits on their way to incense.
Prince Rui found out that the group of bandits were not ordinary bandits, but people who took money from people and killed people to silence them. This made him more convinced of his guess - Xu Ningxiang should know something.
"Prince Rui felt guilty and felt that Xu Ningxiang and his wife should have been implicated by him. He was also worried that the person behind the scenes might find out something from the Xu Mansion before he did, so he entrusted us Qianji Pavilion to find the whereabouts of the prince and protect Xu.
Descendants of the mansion."
Hearing this, the old housekeeper could not suppress the grief in his heart and sobbed:
"It turns out, Master, that Madam's death was not an accident...it was the old slave who was involved."
Xu Yin felt complicated.
It is said that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and misfortunes and blessings are inevitable for people. But if this disaster is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, how unbearable it would be!
She was heartbroken, but she couldn't blame the old housekeeper for this. She signaled Wang Huyuan to help the housekeeper out first, so as to prevent him from blaming himself too much and causing something to happen.
When she and Sikong were left alone, she asked her doubts: "Xu Kui was picked up by the housekeeper in the snow when he was out. Many people in the house knew this, and it was not a secret. Xu Kui himself knew that he was adopted by the housekeeper.
Yes, but he has a very good relationship with the housekeeper. Over the years, the relationship between father and son has been much deeper than that between father and son in some families. Why did you wait for Xu Kui to reveal the plum blossom birthmark on his calf before confirming that it was him? You had already done so before.
Have you never doubted his identity?"
Hearing her question, Sikong smiled helplessly: "I did have doubts before, but the old nun who delivered the princess's baby did not know whether she remembered it wrongly or intentionally misled her. The message she left before her death was that the plum blossom birthmark was on her right calf.
When the prince was in your mansion, he always wore trousers and rarely exposed his calves. I tested him once, and what I saw that time was his right leg, without any plum blossom birthmark. Furthermore..."
Sikong took out a brochure bag from his sleeve pocket and opened it. Inside were two pieces of yellowed paper, one with the prince's birth date written on it, and the other with a small portrait of the princess and her brother.
"The birth dates and horoscopes are not the same, and the voices, faces, smiles and faces are thousands of miles apart."
Xu Yin took the small portraits of Xu Kui's biological mother and uncle. After reading them, she could completely understand why Sikong didn't doubt Xu Kui, because they looked so different, and there was no similarity in their facial features.
Didn't she say that Xu Xing looks more like the heir apparent of Prince Rui than Xu Kui?
Especially in the past two years, when I was promoted to shopkeeper, I was very proud of myself and gained more weight?
Those squinted eyes are like the hair embedded in the white steamed buns, so thin that they can be ignored.
Look at the princess in the portrait again. She has white teeth, eyebrows, and bright eyes.
Xu Yin couldn't help but think: Was Prince Rui shocked when he first saw Xu Kui?
"Then the mastermind behind the scenes has been found?" Thinking of his original parents, Xu Yin felt a little uncomfortable, "If not? The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. Even if Xu Kui is found, won't he be able to find him again?
dangerous?"
"Found it out."
"Who is it?" Xu Yin thought of a possibility, "But the other women in the palace's back palace?"
Sikong chuckled softly: "Why do you think so? In the back house of the palace, who dares to do something to the princess and the prince?"
"..."
There are so many people! You will do whatever it takes to fight for power.
"Who could that be? The prince's enemy?"
"Absolutely. It won't do you any good to know this, so don't ask." Sikong stretched, "Anyway, the prince is very safe now, and the prince knows how to protect him. Prince Rui is not a temperless person."
"Do you know that if you are so appetizing, you will easily get sacked?" Xu Yin glared at him.
Sikong laughed: "No one in this world dares to put a sack on me."
Xu Yin looked at him and smiled. The scar on her face stretched from her forehead to her chin. It was unbearable to look at. She turned her face away and muttered: "There are people who cut you, so what's the point of a sack?"
Have you offended a lot of people?"
She was really curious.
"How can a person wander around the world without getting stabbed? It seems to be true."
"..."
Sikong was helpless and funny. He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue. He raised his hand to show her his true appearance when he suddenly heard a small sound breaking through the air.
With a stern look on his face, he quickly took Xu Yin into his arms, said "I'm offended", turned around with her in his arms, caught a small silver needle, and without any pause, shot it out with his backhand.
There was a muffled groan outside the house.
Sikong helped Xu Yin stand firm, pushed the door open and walked out.
In the courtyard, Wang Huyuan and others had their acupuncture points stabbed and could not move.
A graceful middle-aged woman was squatting on the ground to detoxify a bearded man who had been hit by a silver needle.
There was a man standing in the center of the courtyard, wearing a half-mask. When he saw Sikong coming out, his aura suddenly dropped, and he gritted his teeth and declared war: "Jade-faced Shura! You have killed more than forty of my disciples, and you will be punished!"
Sikong didn't say anything and went straight up to challenge him.
If you don't take the head that comes to your door, you won't take it for free.
Xu Yin: "..."
Jade-faced Shura?
Jade-faced Shura from Qianji Pavilion?
During the Chinese New Year, I heard Wang Huyuan mention this name when I was chatting about the mountains with the people under the fire pot.
It is said that the other party is the best among the top masters in the world. Not only is he superb in martial arts, but he is also extremely handsome. He is nicknamed "Jade Faced Shura" by the people in the world.
At this moment, looking at Sikong who was showing off his tricks and walking around easily as if he was playing tricks on the opponent, Xu Yin felt in a subtle mood and twitched the corner of her mouth:
The Jianghu rumors seem extremely unbelievable! He is so handsome even after being disfigured like this... Or is it that the aesthetics of Jianghu people are rather special?
After several rounds, could the masked man still not see that Sikong was playing tricks on them? He rolled his eyes and wanted to capture Xu Yin as a condition of negotiation, but Sikong saw through it.
His expression became serious, and he managed to deal with the three of them in a few moments. He found a token from the masked man, tossed it, and put it into his arms.
Then he raised his hand and untied the acupuncture points for Wang Huyuan and others. He looked back at Xu Yin and said, "Don't be nervous. I'll take care of their lair. No one will come to trouble the house in the future. Oh yes.
No one in this world dares to kill me."
He raised his hand and peeled off a human skin mask, revealing the true face of the jade-faced Shura that made martial arts people blush...
