"What do you plan to do, master?" Qing Qing asked.
"Ha..." Ximen Hen chuckled, "You can find some problems if you get close to them, but it does bring some trouble to you, so let them figure it out."
"Master, what do you mean?" Wu Qingqing tried to ask, "You don't plan to tell Prince Xuan where Lin Xiner is hiding? What if Prince Xuan really makes things difficult for your master?"
"He forced me just to test him. After all, I, a person who hangs around outside the palace all day long, is more suspicious than Ximen Yin. It is inevitable that I will be the primary target." Ximen Hen was indifferent to his situation, "Speaking of testing.
, they will have to endure a lot.”
"They? Master, are they suspicious of the relationship between Prince Xuan and Lin Xiner?" Wu Qingqing asked doubtfully, "Aren't they in a strong position now?"
"Nothing is absolute, especially at this time, you must be more careful." Ximen Hen said, "I don't care, I have been watching the show, but Ximen Yin will not be less active."
"My master gives me the feeling that he is always on guard against the third prince and seems to be very worried about him. At the same time, he is also neither an enemy nor a friend to Prince Xuan. His subordinates have never understood that the master has abilities that are not inferior to them, so why is he just
Standing aside and doing something occasionally is also for the sake of others." Qing Qing said.
Just like when he threw the female corpse into Prince Xuan's Mansion to warn Prince Xuan that there was a change in the Prince's Palace, or how he asked Zhiqi to return the dagger to Prince Xuan before. Although he had the ability, he did not do anything detrimental to others, but paved the way for himself.
, but did not take a step forward.
"Ability is used to protect oneself, not to stand up and target anyone." Ximen Hen said, "If there is no accident, I just want to live like this, but it is impossible."
Ximen Hen's eyes were condensed and he stared ahead, as if he had anticipated the turbulent future.
Ximen Hen stood up and said, "I'm going back to the palace to stay for a few days. You can take care of things outside."
"Master, is this how you plan to return to the palace?" Qing Qing asked.
Just now, the master said that he was being forced by Prince Xuan, so he just threw away his hands and returned to the palace?
"Yes, I was pressed hard by the emperor's uncle at this time. It was the time when I was hiding in the palace with the secret of his injury." Ximen Hen said, "It is impossible for me to find Lin Xin'er, and it is not because of me at this time.
When I find it, I will go back to the palace and stay there to see what the emperor plans to do with me."
"Does Lin Xin'er's news need to be revealed to Prince Xuan?" Qing Qing asked.
"No need, I have confidence in your uncle." Ximen Hen said.
After leaving the mansion, Ximen Hen returned directly to the palace.
"Run back to the palace?" After Ximen Jingxuan got the news that Ximen Hen had entered the palace, there was a hint of surprise in his words.
"The prince pressed the second prince hard, so he had no choice but to rush back to the palace to take refuge." Yang Chen said, "It seems that he really doesn't know the whereabouts of Lin Xiner, or he is afraid of the people in Shuiyue Palace and dare not tell her."
"In other words, I have overestimated his ability?" Ximen Jingxuan said, Ximen Hen's figure flashed in his mind. Indeed, he has always been like that, and his doubts about him were based on intuition.
Now, Ximen Hen has returned to the palace with the secret of his injury. Is that secret still a secret?
"Your Majesty's move is a bit risky. What if someone takes advantage of Your Majesty's injury to do something detrimental to Your Majesty?" Yang Chen said worriedly.
"Isn't the Shuiyue Palace the biggest disadvantage to this king?" Ximen Jingxuan leaned on the back of his chair and was very indifferent to his own situation.
"Outsiders didn't know the true extent of the prince's injuries. This must be the reason why the people in Shuiyue Palace did not dare to take action against the prince and just colluded with the prince. If anyone knew that the prince had not recovered from his serious injury at this time, there would inevitably be something secret
His actions." Yang Chen said, "From what I see, Your Majesty, you should be more vigilant."
"It doesn't matter, I will not risk my life seriously, knowing my situation at this time." Ximen Jingxuan said, "What I am waiting for now is the possible secret movement."
If no one pays attention to him, can Ximen Hen be ruled out as a suspect?
Or did Ximen Hen also understand his thoughts, so he deliberately made an evasive gesture?
This move didn't seem to show any advantages or disadvantages. Was it necessary to use a fierce battle between him and Xin'er to draw out the person hiding in the dark?
How he hoped that he and Xin'er could abandon the situation of "hurting" each other one day soon and stand side by side again.
"Your Majesty, do you need to conduct a thorough door-to-door inspection of the houses you marked?" Yang Chen asked, looking at the sketch laid out on the table.
Ximen Jingxuan circled several locations based on the structural diagram he drew around the exit of the secret passage of Zuihua Tower.
Ximen Jingxuan turned away from his thoughts about Lin Xiner, lowered his eyelids, and glanced at the picture.
In fact, knowing that Lin Xiner was taken away by Huangfu Yanchong, he should be able to rest assured, but he was not sure about Lin Xiner's whereabouts, and he couldn't rest assured. He always had to know where she was before he could feel at ease.
.
However, it seems that continuing to search like this is not an option.
If Lin Xiner is found, she will fall into the eyes of others again, and a series of things and people will revolve around her. At this time, her leg injury has not healed yet, and the most important thing is to be able to recover from the injury safely.
.
At first, he was worried that something unexpected would happen if Lin Xiner's mood changed after learning about the affairs of the Grand Master's Mansion. However, after the past two days, there was no sign of any trouble. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. So, right?
Should she be given the opportunity to continue "hiding" until the moment she decides to show up?
Ximen Jingxuan decided to change his mind and put away the sketch on the table, "Well, Shuiyue Palace is acting strangely. Maybe they really used some means to take people out of the capital. If she wants to deal with me and die for Shuiyue Palace,
The people who seek revenge will show up sooner or later, and I will be waiting for you."
"It's just that Lin Xiner is hiding in the dark, afraid that something unexpected will happen and we will be unable to guard against it." Yang Chen said, "And the emperor is still waiting for someone to come."
"She is not the only one hiding in the dark. How many people have been hiding in the dark to deal with me for so many years? At this time, we are constantly looking for her, but we are led by her. According to me,
, we should stay still to cope with the changes." Ximen Jingxuan said, "Perhaps if we don't go to her, she will make new moves, and I, the Emperor, will try to deal with it."
"Yes." Since Prince Xuan has decided, Yang Chen must obey, "I will let you withdraw it now."
After Yang Chen left, Ximen Jingxuan gently opened the drawing in his hand. This was the final conclusion he drew based on Yang Chen's search report.
If Lin Xiner was still in the capital, including the time she had to escape from Zuihua Tower to avoid being discovered, she would definitely have to hide in the shortest possible time. The places circled on the drawing are the easiest places to hide. According to
Their structure makes it impossible to find a place to observe the conditions inside the courtyard in detail from the outside.
As the last chance, Ximen Jingxuan would not let go of these places, but he did not want his subordinates to come to check, but decided to go and check these places himself. He only needed to know if there was any gain.
