After Ye Xiuchen left, Mu Yunan anxiously held Xiao Chengyi's hand and asked: "Brother Yi, do you really not know who did it?
Didn't you say that Xiao Jue had an accident in his previous life and was saved by a mute girl? Could this be the accident?"
Xiao Chengyi shook his head and said: "The time is wrong, the place is wrong, and when Xiao Jue's accident happened, I was still serving as the county magistrate in Beichen. I'm not sure if he can meet that girl this time?"
Because of their rebirth, all timelines are messed up, and some things are unpredictable.
Mu Yun'an couldn't help but feel worried. She asked, "Who wanted to harm Xiao Jue in the previous life?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "He is the orphan of the King of Jin. During the Eight Kings of Nanyue Rebellion, the Wei Palace won the final victory, and he is my uncle.
However, the other seven princes met a tragic end, and some of them were even wiped out. Prince Jin was one of the princes who was wiped out.
But at that time, he raised an outhouse, and the outhouse gave birth to a son. Before his death, King Jin retained part of his power and left it to his son.
This person hid in the world and established an underground organization called Xiaoyao Palace.
The trump card of Xiaoyao Palace is not assassination, but the women in the palace. Those women are talented, beautiful and thoughtful. They are sent to the mansions of major court officials as slaves and concubines to help Xiaoyao Palace to find out information so that Xiaoyao Palace can act.
The mute girl next to Xiao Jue was from Xiaoyao Palace. Her purpose in approaching Xiao Jue was to gain Xiao Jue's trust.
It's just that the girl was moved by Xiao Jue, revealed the secret of Xiaoyao Palace, and finally died to save Xiao Jue.
Because of this, we were able to eradicate Xiaoyao Palace, capture the orphan of King Jin, and prevent this turmoil."
After hearing what he said, Mu Yun'an couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Does it mean that it was Xiaoyao Palace that made trouble in the previous life, not this Yuhuo Palace?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded and said: "According to the trajectory, Xiaoyao Palace in the previous life has not yet appeared in the world at this time."
At this time in his previous life, he was still in the capital city of Beichen, and he was not even the number one scholar in high school, and he knew very little about the affairs of the world.
Mu Yun'an also felt that this matter was very strange. She could only place her hope on the mute girl, hoping that Xiao Jue could be rescued by her, so that there was still a glimmer of hope.
She said: "The most important thing right now is to find Xiao Jue first, and then find out the Yuhuo Palace."
"Um."
Xiao Chengyi responded, stood up and said: "You take a rest for a while, I'll go see how the Qingying trial is going?"
Mu Yun'an said: "I'll go with you."
Xiao Chengyi was a little hesitant. Their method of interrogating prisoners was a bit cruel, and he didn't want Yan Yan to see it.
Mu Yun'an said, "Are you afraid of scaring me? But don't forget that you scared me a lot in your previous life."
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
How could he forget? In his previous life, he did a lot of extreme things to Yan Yan, and even peeled off Aunt Liu's human skin in front of her.
He did such a bloody thing in front of Yan Yan, no wonder Yan Yan didn't like him in his previous life.
Xiao Chengyi said with a calm face: "Since you know that I am so cruel, why do you still get close to me?"
Mu Yun'an blinked and said, "Because the wrong person is me, not you, and you just want me to see Aunt Liu's true face clearly."
Xiao Chengyi felt a little distressed when he heard this. He hugged Mu Yun'an and said, "Thank you Yan Yan, thank you for not resenting me and pushing me away but running towards me without hesitation."
If it weren't for Yan Yan, he might have been as cold-blooded and ruthless as in his previous life, a devil with bloody hands and killing cruelly, instead of the flesh-and-blood person he is now.
