With this in mind, Chu Xichen asked Lao Shi to continue the investigation. He must find out the relationship between this group of people and Xiao Wumian, and find out whether Xiao Wumian is still hostile to the North Kingdom and if he still has the intention of restoring the country. , must be reported quickly!
Lao Shi took the mission and went back. Chu Xichen looked at the booklet in front of him, but couldn't read it.
He once said that only when there is a country, there will be a country. However, what if one day, between the country and the country, there is only one choice? What if what Huanwan wants is his country? Woolen cloth?
His heart suddenly turned cold. He waved away the fold on the jade case angrily. He stood up and walked out. Pebble immediately asked politely: "Where is the emperor going? I'm going out to prepare the chariot."
"No need," Xichen said coldly, "I'm going for a walk alone, and none of you need to follow me."
Xiao Shizi gritted his teeth and said: "Yes" He said he won't let people follow him, but Xiao Shizi will still let people follow him secretly. If another assassin appears, it will be terrible.
Xi Chenxin refused to leave Qian Palace and wandered aimlessly, but unknowingly, he came to the gate of Chen Palace. He had not been here for more than half a month. He pondered for a while and was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped. After thinking about it, I walked in.
The yard was quiet. When he walked into the main hall, he met Qingyue who was about to run out. Qingyue was stunned when she saw him and hurriedly prepared to call Shen Huan, but Xichen made a silent gesture to her and whispered. He asked in a voice: "Where is the queen?"
Qingyue hurriedly knelt down and said: "Go back to the emperor, the queen is playing with the third prince."
Xichen nodded and said: "You go!" Without being greeted, he walked straight into the inner hall and headed towards the third prince's baby room.
Shen Wen was sitting in front of the cradle, rocking the cradle gently, humming an unknown tune in her mouth, as if it was a lullaby. Dare to speak out, Xichen stood behind Shen Huan and saw Zhao'er's eyes wide open, mouthing Yiyiyiya, as if he was imitating Shen Huan in humming a tune.
As soon as he stood there, Zhao'er's eyes were immediately attracted to him. Shen Huan looked up and was stunned for a moment. Then she stood up and prepared to salute. Xichen held her hand and said, "No need, I... Just came to see Zhaoer."
Shen Huanfu sat down again and said: "I don't know what happened to him today. He still doesn't sleep after feeding. I am coaxing him."
Xichen looked at Zhao'er, who became more and more reluctant to sleep. Shen Huan was helpless and said, "Go out and sit for a while. When you are here, his eyes will open wider."
Xichen smiled, pulled her and said, "You go out with me and let the nanny coax him. I want to ask you something."
The two of them went back to the room together. After sitting down, Shen Huan waited for him to speak, but Xichen didn't say anything. He just held the tea cup and was lost in thought. Shen Huan sighed and said: "If you ask about the assassin, haven't you found out that she is not Is it really Shen Wanru? In fact, there is no need to check, she is from the Western Kingdom."
Xichen was stunned. He didn't want to ask this, so he frowned and said, "Is it sent by Ye Cangqiong?"
Shen Huan said: "Maybe"
Xichen's brows furrowed deeply, Ye Cangqiong, he has extended his minions into my palace! It seems that there will be a big war between the two northwest countries! Maybe, just after the autumn harvest! Thinking about it, he couldn't help but tighten his grip. double fists
"Anything else?"
Xichen thought for a while and decided to tell Shen Huan, then said: "When we returned to Beijing, we found out some clues about the men in black who attacked us on the road."
Shen Huan listened attentively. Those who wanted her and Zhao'er's lives were wondering if the person in the harem would be involved.
Xichen stared at her, took a deep breath, and said, "It seems to have something to do with Zhennan Hou!"
Shen Huan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Impossible"
Xichen asked in a deep voice: "Are you so sure?"
Shen Huan glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, those men in black clearly wanted my life and Zhao'er's life! If they are Xiao Wumian's people, they must be from the South. They will only deal with you. You can't deal with me..." Wait! She suddenly thought of something! By the way, she was hiding at that time, and the leader in black was fighting fiercely with Xichen. She rushed over with Wang Fengjian in hand. When the man in black saw Wang Fengjian, he was very surprised. They are about to retreat. Could it be that those men in black are really men in black, really Xiao Wumian's men?
Xichen saw her expression changing again and again, and asked, "Did you think of something?"
Shen Wen lowered his eyes and said: "It's nothing. I don't think this matter has anything to do with Zhennan Marquis. It's better to find out clearly. Now is the time to employ people. Don't make a small gain at the expense of a big one."
Xichen looked at her and didn't speak for a long time. For some reason, there was a trace of disappointment in his heart.
The look on her face just now clearly indicated that she was thinking of something, something related to Xiao Wumian! But why didn't she say anything? Was she protecting someone?
He stood up and left a little disappointed: "Just rest, I still have some excerpts to read."
Shen Huan sent him out without leaving him, and he felt even more disappointed in his heart. He turned around and left. Shen Huan immediately called Cui Shanggong and said, "Go and make arrangements. I want to meet Xiao Wumian as soon as possible."
Her expression was solemn. Cui Shanggong did not dare to neglect and hurriedly made arrangements.
At this moment, the Zhennan Hou Mansion was under close surveillance.
Therefore, when Xiao Wumian entered the Chen Palace, the news immediately reached Chu Xichen's ears
"I know," his tone was calm, but his heart was filled with panic. They really had a conspiracy! Sure enough, they were plotting something behind my back!
Xiao Wumian sat opposite Shen Huan. There were only two people in the hall. Shen Huan asked straight to the point: "Have you met some old friends recently?"
Xiao Wumian was puzzled. Shen Huan looked at him and said, "Chu Xichen found out something. Do you know about the people from the South who ambush us on our way back?"
Xiao Wumian thought for a while and said: "Someone did come to see me recently. He also said... that he had seen you, but he didn't say where. I thought he sneaked into the palace and saw you. Could he be the one who ambushed you? ?I don’t think so, he will never hurt you.”
"Are you so sure?" Shen Huan felt strange. Could this person know her?
Xiao Wumian nodded and said: "Of course, as long as you are from the Southern Kingdom, I will not hurt you."
"But, what if he didn't know that I was Xiao at first? He only thought that I was Chu Xichen's woman, so he wanted to kill me and the child!"
Xiao Wumian was shocked: "He wants to kill you and Zhao'er? How is this possible!"
Shen Wen sneered: "You know who he is, you'd better tell me. I really want to ask him why he killed me and Zhao'er!"
Xiao Wumian pondered for a moment and said: "I will ask him this question, but I think there must be some misunderstanding in it!"
Shen Huan stared at him and said in a deep voice: "You'd better give me a satisfactory answer! Also, if this person has anything to do with you, it's best to stay away from him. Chu Xichen has already found out about you. Be careful”
The door opened with a bang, and the two of them looked back in surprise, only to see Chu Xichen standing in front of the door with a livid face.
