After Wu Shan left Jinyang Palace, Ximen Xianchu listened to Li Bing's report.
When Ximen Hao was hiding in Mingyue Tower, arrangements had been made. The origin of the flying lion ring that was used as physical evidence was the most critical.
"Wu Shan" himself said that he sneaked out of the palace, and later admitted that he accidentally threw away the ring. Then it is possible that someone picked up the ring and secretly put it into Mo Yaxuan of Beiwang Mansion, and then got it
Su Ranhua took the ring and sent it through Bai Yiyi, and then was discovered by Ximen Yi.
Everything was done unintentionally, and it was just the special circumstances that caused everyone's misunderstanding.
Anyway, the dead Yuehua Kingdom envoy did sneak into the Beiwang Palace in an attempt to assassinate Ximen Hao. If someone secretly slipped a ring easily, it would be very common for the stolen goods to be stolen.
This made it appear that Ximen Hao's power was somewhat weaker, and he appeared completely as a victim, which dispelled Ximen Xianchu's concerns.
Ximen Hao would not directly target the opponent like Ximen Yi. Instead, he would put all the responsibilities on the dead Yuehua Kingdom envoy. Combined with the Yuehua Kingdom assassins brought out by Suluo City, he would completely treat them as
There are spies from other countries secretly stirring up trouble.
This shows that Ximen Hao was in a normal state of mind and did not pursue Ximen Yi's original attack on him. He was analyzing the problem rationally and without bias.
This is the strategy of retreating to advance. It seems that Ximen Hao is in a weak position, but he transfers everything to Ximen Yi without any trace. The more Ximen Xianchu trusts him, the more he doubts Ximen Yi.
The situation reported by Li Bing was based on Ximen Hao's arrangement. Although he knew that there was something fishy that he didn't know about, he had no intention or ability to investigate deeply. As long as he could protect the country for Ximen Xianchu and not fall into the hands of outsiders.
Li Bing believed that he was worthy of the emperor if he could protect Ximen Xianchu's safety with his own hands.
After hearing Li Bing's report, Ximen Xianchu narrowed his eyes and frowned in deep thought.
"Do you think it's King Nan and others who are colluding with the people of Yuehua Kingdom?" Ximen Xianchu asked. The recent events have become a mess. He can't tell right from wrong. Even as smart as he is, he can't figure it out for the moment.
The relationship between Qing.
However, Ximen Xianchu doubted anyone, and he would not doubt Ximen Hao. He knew the situation of Sunset Cliff. Although he was sitting in Jinyang Palace, calm and composed, he was also thinking about Ximen Hao's life and death. He fell into Sunset Cliff and narrowly escaped death.
, and even the chance of survival is even smaller.
There is no need for Ximen Hao to risk his life or death against Ximen Yi.
So unintentionally, Ximen Xianchu turned towards Ximen Hao.
"I dare not draw any conclusions on the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and I have not found any clues that the Southern King has any private contacts with the Yuehua Kingdom." Li Bing said.
Not only did he not notice it, Ximen Hao also didn't grasp anything. The two of them just thought of the assassin's origin from the coincidence of saving his life in Suluo City. Or was that really just a coincidence?
"There is no best." Ximen Xianchu's eyes flickered, "Please help me pay attention to their actions. The Nanwang and the Prime Minister's Mansion are too restless. I was suddenly disturbed by the assassin, and I cannot ignore the rescue of Su Luo City.
To condemn him to death, as long as he lives, there will be people in the court who will continue to speak good words for him. I can only suppress the prime minister's office and prevent him from turning over, but I can't prevent him from making any further moves."
"I obey the order." Li Bing cupped his hands and said.
"King Bei, Princess Bei is here to see you!" Following the eunuch's sharp voice shouting, Ximen Hao walked into Jinyang Palace with Su Ranhua.
When Ximen Xianchu saw Ximen Hao, he immediately left the dragon chair and walked towards him.
"Hao'er, how are you?" Ximen Xianchu looked at Ximen Hao and asked with concern.
"Back to my father, I am fine. I just suffered some internal injuries after falling off the cliff. I was afraid of being noticed by the killer, so I nursed myself back to health in secret for a few days before I dared to show up. Please forgive me for not letting anyone report the truth to my father.
"Ximen Hao said.
He did not lie. Due to the fall from the cliff and the impact of the river, he did suffer internal injuries. It was not visible on the outside. He knew it in his heart, but he just didn't say it. Otherwise, he would not have waited in the cave with Su Ranhua.
He had been looking for a place where he could at least make a fire to keep warm and cook food. This was something Su Ranhua only found out after returning to Beiwang Mansion, Su Ranhua felt strange and asked him.
Of course, it is impossible for Su Ranhua to remain unscathed after falling off a cliff, but Su Ranhua has always been protected by Ximen Hao, and he bore the impact of the fall, so as long as she escaped the impact of the river safely, her body did not suffer any injuries.
Just a few bruises.
"I understand. Assassins can break into my Jinyang Palace, so I understand your concerns." Ximen Xianchu nodded and asked, "I wonder where Hao'er is recuperating?"
Why didn't he get any information and was kept in the dark along with everyone else?
Ximen Xianchu did not express the questions in his heart, but stared at Ximen Hao with twinkling eyes.
"Erchen just asked Chen Mo, the guard commander in the Northern Palace, to pretend to be more like him. He was able to hide it from everyone, and it was all thanks to his acting skills." Ximen Hao said with a smile, "Erchen actually lives in a farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing.
Here, if my father is interested, he can also come and sit down. I have spent a few days with Ran Hua living as a farmer, and I have already bought the farmer's house as a souvenir."
"To commemorate?" Ximen Xianchu raised his eyebrows with interest, looked at Su Ranhua beside him, and chuckled, "Yes, the meanings are indeed different. You two have experienced life and death together, and Doctor Liu also paid back
If you are innocent, you can stay together without any grudges."
"Father made fun of you." Ximen Hao smiled, took Su Ranhua's hand and held it in his palm, his movements natural.
Ximen Xianchu saw it, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
Ximen Hao fell off the cliff with Su Ranhua when she was still guilty of deceiving the emperor, which shows that he didn't care about Su Ranhua's fault at that time, and even had the courage to die with her.
It seems that this woman's skills are not ordinary.
Ximen Xianchu accidentally cast his gaze on Su Ranhua, and Su Ranhua instantly felt the sharpness in those burning eyes.
But this time she was really wronged. If she really used any means, it can only be said that her time-traveled soul deeply attracted Ximen Hao and dragged him into love.
"I heard that a man in black took you out of the dungeon early and escaped the danger of being bombed?" Ximen Xianchu asked, staring at Su Ranhua intently.
"Yes," Su Ranhua nodded. Before entering the palace, she had thought through all the possible questions Ximen Xianchu had, so she already had an idea. "After the man in black took me out of the dungeon, he knocked me out.
After I woke up, I was left in the outskirts of the capital. I recognized it as the place where I lived when I was a child. Later, a killer came after me. The man in black suddenly appeared and killed him. Then I met Nan Wang and
Dad, I originally wanted to ask for help, but who knew that dad actually..."
