After a moment of silence, Lin Xiner raised her drooped eyelids, looked at Ximen Jingxuan, and said slowly, "So, you can kill Lin Ke'er without any worries?"
Because he knew that Lin Ke'er was not the one who saved him back then, he could cut off this layer of concern.
Even she could imagine that Lin Keer was the one causing the trouble, and Ximen Jingxuan would not have known about it.
Remembering that in the Prince's Mansion, Ximen Jingxuan told her that he would help her solve some things, which should also include letting Lin Keer die, right?
At that time, when he saw her, he already had the idea of killing Lin Keer. He asked her if she would not let go of all the people who played a role in this matter. This was to consult her decision, and then
Her answer was firm, letting him know the answer.
If she wants to stay, she will stay; if she wants to kill, she will kill.
If she was to be killed, he would be the one to do it, so that she wouldn't have to bear the infamy of being the sister who killed her.
He asked and did this all because of her...
"Even if it's really her, I can't forgive it." Ximen Jingxuan said, "I've always thought that what she did was something that wouldn't cause any big trouble. I can tolerate it, but this time, even if it's really her,
, and it can’t make me not care as much as usual.”
"It's important not to care. After all, if it's true, you won't let her die." Lin Xiner said.
At this time, Ximen Jingxuan treated Lin Keer just like he treated her when he first married into the palace.
He is cruel, and he is also affectionate.
"Do you think I killed the person?" Ximen Jingxuan looked at Lin Xiner. At this time, they could talk calmly face to face again.
The atmosphere quietly relaxed and seemed to be getting closer to the past.
It turns out that God has already destined them to be together.
He will lead Xiner out of the shadow he just experienced, just as she helped him out of his obsession with Zheng Xianlun and his mother-in-law.
"Just think that I was the one who killed him." Lin Xiner did not answer Ximen Jingxuan.
Yes, everyone including him "thought" she was the one who killed her. He hated her extremely. This was the result that many people wanted to see.
Don't they all want to see the two of them fighting?
"Xin'er." Ximen Jingxuan raised a hand and touched Lin Xiner's face, "After this hurdle, everything will be fine."
Eight years ago, he broke out of the gate of hell, what else can be difficult to defeat?
Lin Xiner turned her head to avoid Ximen Jingxuan's affectionate eyes.
She didn't dare to look at it, didn't dare to accept it, and she was not qualified to accept it. She was warning herself all the time.
"Xin'er." Ximen Jingxuan hugged her and gently sat on the ground.
She can feel more comfortable by spreading her remaining legs flat.
Ximen Jingxuan felt sad and regretful about the leg that he had personally disabled. He no longer asked anything about the leg, that is, he never mentioned the word Zheng Xianlun again.
He wants to try to let go of himself completely.
Lin Xiner sat up straight and kept a certain distance between herself and Ximen Jingxuan. Even if she was hugged by him, the distance was small, which still represented her meaning.
"Xin'er, what did the thief steal from you?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.
Now, he had already figured out that the thief was targeting Lin Xiner. What made him curious was what Lin Xiner had that attracted the thief.
"Didn't you see your dagger at Lin Ke'er's place?" Lin Xiner asked.
If she still couldn't figure out the whereabouts of the dagger at that time, but from the fact that Lin Ke'er colluded with others to harm Yueyao in the name of Ximen Jingxuan, she figured out that the dagger should probably be in Lin Ke'er's hands.
Apart from her, the person who is most suitable to get it can best bring out the "value" of its existence.
Lin Ke'er's death not only alarmed the entire Taishi Mansion, but also Ximen Jingxuan was the first to be alarmed. Lin Xiner thought that during the thorough investigation of the murder scene, Ximen Jingxuan had already discovered the dagger.
"A dagger with a crescent-shaped handle?" Ximen Jingxuan asked, "I threw it away when we were in northern Xinjiang. Is it really in your hand?"
"But now that it's gone, I thought there was no evidence in the world to prove what happened back then." Lin Xiner said.
Therefore, she showed great concern for the thief at that time, not to kill the thief, but to inquire about the whereabouts of the dagger.
But who knew all this before he did, and then thought of stealing the dagger and deliberately confusing the relationship between the two of them? Ximen Jingxuan thought.
This person must be the person standing behind Lin Keer.
But Lin Ke'er was dead. Even if she was alive, he didn't expect to get any answers from Lin Ke'er.
That person was so hidden and well-organized that Lin Keer could only be used as a pawn, charging into the battle. When she finished playing her role, all that was left was death. Moreover, she didn't know at the hands of whom she died.
inside.
Therefore, even if Lin Keer was not assassinated by Nao Yan, he would be killed by others unless he spared no effort to protect her.
However, the black hand exists in the dark and will not be eliminated for a day. How long can he protect him? He can only catch one assassin by using Lin Ke'er. According to the black hand's methods, the fate of that assassin will inevitably be like that of the thief that day.
Usually if he dies unprepared, he will gain nothing in the end.
Now, Lin Ke'er's death will directly intensify the conflict between him and Lin Xiner. This is exactly what the people hiding in the dark want to see. Someone has already done this for them. Moreover, it will also disrupt their relationship.
The layout is puzzling to them, and they change from their minds.
"I didn't see the dagger at Lin Keer's place." Ximen Jingxuan said.
"No?" Lin Xiner was surprised.
"I don't know if it's really not with her, or if someone took it away first," Ximen Jingxuan said.
"Yeah." Lin Xiner nodded.
The dagger has always been by her side, and she has lived peacefully for eight years, even surviving falling off a cliff. In her opinion, the dagger is her lucky charm, and if the dagger is gone, everything is destined to be ruined.
"It's just a dagger. Its presence or absence will not affect us." Ximen Jingxuan said, and he saw the faint sadness flashing in Lin Xiner's eyes.
Ximen Jingxuan held Lin Xiner's hands folded on his lap, forming a hug with his big palms.
"Yes, it won't affect it." Lin Xiner said calmly, and gently withdrew her hand from Ximen Jingxuan's palm.
The two words "will not affect" have completely opposite meanings.
"Your Highness, please let me go. I don't deserve this. I failed you." Lin Xiner said, "From now on, I can only hate you..."
"I won't let go. When these things are settled, it's time for you to return to Prince Xuan's Mansion." Ximen Jingxuan said, reaching out and gently caressing Lin Xiner's injured leg, "During this period, you must be careful.
,if……"
Ximen Jingxuan paused and said, "If there are difficulties, why not find an opportunity for Huangfu Yan to rush to the Prince's Mansion."
Lin Xiner's heart moved.
How much does he care about her to say such a thing?
Huangfu Yanchong was a thorn in his heart, but when he had limitations, he would still think of Huangfu Yanchong.
His mind is unmatched by Ximen Jinglie. In fact, he is really suitable to be the highest king.
