The secret guard knelt on the ground, trembling a little. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please forgive me, but your arrow did indeed hurt Prince Yan."
At that time, he was hiding in a tree and had a clear view, so there was no reason for him to make a mistake.
Yuan Qingrui kicked him angrily after hearing these words: "You still dare to quibble, can the imperial doctor's diagnosis be wrong?"
The secret guard was kicked to the ground and got up and knelt on the ground: "I don't dare, but what I said is true. As for why there are no arrow wounds on Prince Yan's body?"
He paused and expressed his guess: "I heard that there is a very powerful disguise technique in the world, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.
My subordinates suspect that something may have happened to the real Yan Shizi, and this one is someone pretending to be!"
"Pretend?"
Yuan Qingrui was stunned for a moment. He had also heard about the art of disguise, but he had never seen it before.
Yuan Qingrui frowned and asked again: "Are you sure that Yan Shizi was really hit by an arrow in the back?"
The secret guard said: "I dare to guarantee it with my life."
When Yuan Qingrui saw this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Could it be that Yan Jingxuan was really disguised as someone else?
He waved his hand to signal the secret guards to retreat, then sat on a chair and thought about it.
At this time, the night was already dark.
Inside the General's Mansion.
Xiao Chengyi was sitting in front of the window, reading a book, when he suddenly heard Qing Ying's voice coming from the darkness: "Young Master, the master of Wangyue Tower has invited you."
He said and handed over a letter.
Xiao Chengyi slowly raised his head after hearing this, and then reached out to take out the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple, it was to invite him to have a talk at the Moon Tower tonight.
Xiao Chengyi held the letter in his hand and glanced at the moonlight outside the window. After a while, he stood up and said, "Let's go!"
He turned around and walked out of the room, disappearing into the house under the moonlight.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chengyi arrived at Wangyue Tower. Because it was past midnight, Wangyue Tower had closed and there were no customers.
But the door of Wangyue Tower was still open. Xiao Chengyi walked in and was immediately greeted by a waiter: "Master, please come upstairs."
The waiter led Xiao Chengyi up to the room on the top floor. After the door opened, the waiter stepped back, and Xiao Chengyi walked in directly.
Unlike last time, all the gauze in this room has been removed, and the incense in the incense burner is also elegant styrax.
"Mr. Xiao, long time no see!"
A deep voice came from not far away. Xiao Chengyi followed the sound and saw Shen Zhixu, the owner of Wangyue Tower, sitting in a wheelchair.
His face was covered with a mask as always, but he looked much more energetic than before.
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said in a calm voice: "I heard that Mr. Shen is now a guest of the Han family. I really want to congratulate you!"
Shen Zhixu chuckled: "I would also like to thank Mr. Xiao for the elixir, otherwise I would not be able to gain the trust of the Han family."
He went to the Han family with the ointment given by Xiao Chengyi, claiming that he could help Miss Han restore her appearance.
As expected, Han Qianyu's face recovered after using his ointment, and the Han family was grateful for his gift of medicine and was willing to take him in as a guest.
This gave him the opportunity to get close to the Han family.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Prime Minister Han is very cunning. If he dares to take you in, it means that he has investigated you thoroughly. Speaking of which, your Jue Sect is also capable. I wonder if the poster has any reason for inviting me here today?
