"I saw Mr. Yan's body with my own eyes, how could Mr. Yan fake his death?!" Zhou Xing retorted to Su Ho coldly.
Su Ho was speechless for a moment, and after a while she said: "Then how could His Highness be so sure that it was Mr. Yan's body? It was the first time His Highness saw Mr. Yan today, and the body was burnt beyond recognition. In this case,
How can Your Highness be sure that it is Mr. Yan?"
Zhou Xing jumped up and suddenly felt that what Su Ho said made sense.
How could he be sure that the Mr. Yan he saw was Mr. Yan? He determined that the corpse was Mr. Yan simply because of the piece of white jade on the charred corpse.
It's just that the fire was so big at that time that when Gu Xiyan and Hu Die left, Mr. Yan was the only one left in the house.
He saw Xiyan leave, but did not see Mr. Yan leave.
There must have been someone in the house at that time, and Mr. Yan set himself on fire after they entered the house. This is also true.
He told all the details, and Su Ho's eyes flashed slightly after hearing this: "Maybe there is a possibility. That is, the princess has left, but she can control the deserted house from a distance, and then set off the fire..."
Speaking of this, her voice faded away.
It would be possible in modern times, but this is ancient times. It is impossible for Gu Xiyan to let the house catch fire spontaneously after leaving the house for such a long time. This is unreasonable.
Su Ho obviously also thought about this possibility, "Perhaps I and you are overthinking. It is a fact that Mr. Yan is dead. No matter how much you don't want to believe it, Mr. Yan has been burned to death."
"I think this is too coincidental. Mr. Yan just showed up, and when His Highness wanted to arrest someone, Mr. Yan died. It's like this is a play, deliberately made to make His Highness think that Mr. Yan is dead!" Su Ho's gaze
Zhuo Zhuo said: "Could all this be the prince's plan?!"
She knew that Zhou Xing favored Gu Xiyan, but the relationship between Zhou Xing and Gu Xiyan was destined to be hostile, so there was no need to worry about Gu Xiyan like this.
As long as she provokes a few words from time to time, she can make Gu Xiyan stand on the opposite side of Zhou Xing, and the provocation is effortless.
Zhou Xing was silent for a long time before saying: "According to your statement, Xiyan knew that the king's target was Mr. Yan, so he set a trap in advance to make the king think that Mr. Yan was dead? How do you think Xiyan could know in advance that the king was dead?
The target is Mr. Yan?"
It couldn't be that Liu Chaoyan betrayed him and joined forces with Xiyan to deal with him.
Based on the grievances between Liu Chaoyan and Xi Yan, and Liu Chaoyan's deep love for him, he was sure that Liu Chaoyan would not betray him.
Su Ho was asked a question and couldn't answer.
"I just think there is such a possibility. After all, what happened today is so coincidental that it makes people suspicious." Su Ho took a step back knowingly.
Anyway, she has planted the seeds of doubt in Zhou Xing's heart, which is enough.
"Step back, I want to be alone for a while." Zhou Xing was still affected by Su Ho's words, and felt even more depressed.
After Su Ho left, the room returned to silence.
Zhou Xing grew up in a crowded place like the palace, developing a suspicious temperament and tending to make everything complicated.
In addition, he had always felt that today's events were a bit strange, and the possibility Su Ho said made him feel that it made sense. He used to think that Xi Yan was a simple girl raised in a boudoir, but later he found out that he underestimated Xi Yan. p>
Since Xiyan can organize such a successful food festival, is it normal for her to do other unexpected things?
Let’s just say that Xi Yan went to the southern suburbs this time, leaving half an hour earlier than him, but returning home an hour later than him. What was Xi Yan doing at this hour?
And Mr. Yan’s back looks very familiar to him. Where has he seen it before? Why can’t he remember it?
Zhou Xing racked his brains but still couldn't remember where he had seen Mr. Yan.
When Gu Xiyan returned to the Zhou Mansion, she immediately burned Mr. Yan's men's clothes.
Qiushi felt relieved after seeing that Gu Xiyan had returned safely.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Gu Xiyan saw that Qiushi was hesitant to speak.
"His Highness somehow knew that the girl had left the Zhou Mansion with only Xiaodie. He left the palace in a hurry and came to Qi Shiyuan to ask the slave where the girl had gone. The slave said that the girl had gone to Bafang Alley. It was only a few meters away from His Highness.
I have been out looking for a girl for more than an hour, and I am afraid that Your Highness is still looking for a girl." Qiushi became anxious and changed her name to Gu Xiyan by the name she had before her marriage.
Gu Xiyan's face changed slightly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
How anxious would Zhou Mu be if he couldn't find her in Bafang Hutong?
"I saw that the princess was busy burning the evidence, so I didn't dare to disturb her," Qiushi said.
Gu Xiyan walked out of Qishiyuan and paced back and forth at the door. After waiting for a while, she still didn't see Zhou Mu coming home, so she decided to go out to look for him.
Only when she went to Bafang Hutong did she not see Zhou Mu. When she went to the Su Mansion, she learned that Zhou Mu had come to see her an hour ago, and then she went to nowhere.
For a moment, she stood blankly in front of the Su Mansion, without any idea.
"Xiyan, let's go back to the Zhou Mansion first? Maybe His Highness has already gone back?" Hu Die went to Gu Xiyan to suggest something.
Gu Xiyan stood stunned for a moment, then got on the carriage and returned to Zhou Mansion.
But after she came back, Zhou Mu was still nowhere to be seen. She guessed that Zhou Mu got the news from her and went to look for her somewhere. Could that place be the southern suburbs?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart sank.
Facts have proved that Gu Xiyan’s guess was correct.
After the guards of the Zhou Mansion sent someone into the palace to deliver the news to Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu left everything he was doing and left the palace.
Because Zhou Xing was eyeing Xiyan covetously, and Xiyan happened to be alone again, he was afraid that Zhou Xing would be unfavorable to Gu Xiyan.
He first returned to Zhou Mansion and asked Qiushi where Gu Xiyan had gone. Qiushi said that Gu Xiyan had gone to Bafang Hutong to find Su Mei, so he went to Bafang Hutong.
There was no trace of Xi Yan in Bafang Hutong, so he went to the Su Mansion to look for someone. When he asked, he found out that Su Mei had left the Su family early in the morning and her whereabouts were unknown.
He suddenly panicked, and for a moment he didn't know where to find Xi Yan.
It was Zhiyuan who reminded him that a secret guard was sent to protect Su Mei. Maybe he could contact the secret guard who was protecting Su Mei and know the whereabouts of Su Mei.
Later, we did contact the secret guard protecting Su Mei, and we found out that Su Mei had gone to an abandoned house in the southern suburbs early in the morning.
Later, the secret guard saw Xi Yan appearing in the abandoned house. Shortly after Xi Yan entered the house, Zhou Xing brought a group of masters to lurk near the house.
When Zhou Mu heard this, he rushed to the southern suburbs in a hurry.
When he arrived at the southern suburbs, it had been burned to ruins. Coincidentally, not only Zhao Qingqi, the prime minister of Dali Temple, was present, but also Xu Yanqing.
At the moment, he didn't care that Xu Yanqing was his love rival, and couldn't wait to find out Xi Yan's whereabouts.
Xu Yanqing knew Zhou Mu's anxiety, but he also knew that something was wrong with the current situation. He rushed in front of Zhou Mu and said, "Your Highness, can you take a step to speak?"
