The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 174 Behind the Scenes
Xie Xi took the handkerchief, wiped a few handfuls on her face indiscriminately, her nose was filled with a fresh fragrance, and she felt that the fragrance was very good, and said with a smile: "Susu has a life, how dare I refuse to obey, she came out last night Jing has done something, no, I just came back to Beijing and heard that you have something to do here, so I rushed over."

Hearing what Xie Xi said, Lin Zisu obviously valued herself very much, and was very happy in her heart, but said in her mouth: "What I told you is not an urgent matter, and you don't have to be so panicky."

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Zisu told Xie Xi about what she had seen and heard in the hospital yesterday.

Lve Ying and Feng Renyuan had already given a rough idea, and Lin Zisu added some details, and finally added his own guess: "I think that a group of foreigners in Shili Town have lived in Shili Town for more than ten years. If Beidi spies, I'm afraid it has already infiltrated every part of my Dayan."

Xie Xi looked solemn, nodded and said: "Susu, this matter is very important. I will ask my father for some people first. Let's go and investigate that Shili Town tomorrow."

After Lin Zisu finished talking about Shili Town, Xie Xi talked to Lin Zisu about his leaving the city.

Since Xie Yan denied the marriage proposal that day, Xie Xi asked someone to find out that the person who came to Lin's mansion to propose marriage that day was the wife of Kang Chaoguang, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Kang Chaoguang, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, is from Guanzhong. He was ranked second in the list, so he is considered talented.However, he didn't have any foundation in the court, so he had to take an idle position in Guanglu Temple.It wasn't until a few years ago, on the emperor's Longevity Day, that he did a few things that were very in line with the sacred heart, and then he was promoted to the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites has always been the gathering place of the Shannan Township Party. In recent years, many ministers of the Ministry of Rites have come from Shannan.Kang Chaoguang was an outsider, and he was obviously out of place in the Ministry of Rites. Over the years, he had been squeezed out by the Minister of Rites, Qian Minzhong. If he hadn't been oppressed by the emperor, he would have been dismissed and sent out.

After Xie Xi asked clearly, he sent someone to Kang Chaoguang's residence.

The news he got was that Kang Chaoguang had been promoted and went to Hezhong to fill in the vacancy of Hezhong's chief envoy, and he had already left a day ago.

Xie Xi hurriedly went out of Beijing to chase him. He led people to chase along the official road for a long time, until he reached the border of Hezhong, but he still couldn't catch up with Kang Chaoguang's convoy.

At this time, Xie Xi already understood in his heart that there must be something strange about Kang Chaoguang, and arrangements had already been made.Even if he finds Kang Chaoguang himself, he probably won't be able to ask any questions.

There are only a few people in the capital who can summon Kang Chaoguang, so it is better to go back to Beijing and make a plan.

After hearing Xie Xi's words, Lin Zisu frowned slightly, and asked: "So, the matter of proposing marriage to me was not made by Prince Wei's House to disgust me, but also someone's deliberate conspiracy?"

Xie Xi nodded and said, "That's right, the man behind this scene is an expert, and even my reaction has been calculated into it."

Looking back on what happened this time, the people behind the scenes obviously knew a lot about what was going on in Beijing, and they also knew that Xie Xi and Lin Zisu had an unusual relationship, so they borrowed the name of Prince Wei's Mansion to propose marriage to the Lin family.

It was precisely because Mrs. Kang Chaoguang went to the Lin family to propose a marriage, Xie Xi made a fuss in front of the imperial court after hearing about it, and then Xie Xi stabbed the emperor about what the Prince Wei's mansion had done, and then there was a move to search the Prince Wei's mansion.

The calculations here are one after another, aimed at Lin Zisu, but at Xie Xi's idea.

Prince Wei's Mansion is the first-class feudal lord of Dayan. For many years, it has been standing still despite the participation of the censors.In addition, the emperor wanted to protect him, so ordinary people would not get any benefit if they went to the emperor to participate in the Palace of Wei.

Only people like Xie Xi dared to make a scene before the imperial court regardless.The emperor was worried that there would be some big trouble, so he had to pay attention to this matter.

Now that Xie Yan has entered the Imperial Prison, King Wei is under house arrest in the mansion. From outsiders' perspective, King Wei's mansion is self-inflicted, and he may not be able to escape the responsibility.

But in the hearts of Xie Xi and Lin Zisu, there are hidden worries.

If this matter is only aimed at Prince Wei's Mansion, then there is nothing to worry about, I'm afraid that the people behind the scenes may have other tricks.

Just like the emperor being poisoned, on the surface it seems that the emperor just got sick, but if you look deeper, you will find that Beidi was involved.

Lin Zisu remembered the bet between Xie Xi and Xu Wentao a few months ago. In order to win the bet, Xie Xi did not hesitate to fabricate rumors and spread them widely in the capital.

Different from Xie Xi's scheme against her, Xie Xi was just playing a prank, but this time, the person behind it probably wanted to drag her into endless turmoil.

This time, the people behind the scenes were more straightforward than Xie Xi, and directly sent someone to his house to propose marriage.In the mouths of the people in Beijing, she is the emperor's celebrity, and this rumor did not need to be promoted, and it was directly transmitted to Xie Xi's ears.

Lin Zisu laughed at herself: "This person is much more powerful than you. You used to plot against me and sent people to the Zhuangyuan Building to spread rumors. He only had to find someone to come to my house to talk about it, and the rumors spread all over the city."

Hearing Lin Zisu mention the past without any hesitation, Xie Xi felt relieved, and said with a smile: "The only people who can manipulate Kang Chaoguang are the ones who do their best. I'll ask someone to find out who this Kang Chaoguang is with. in collusion."

Xie Xi simply told Lin Zisu about the suspects in his heart.When talking about the second prince Xie Hui, Lin Zisu's thoughts moved.

She remembered the previous life, when Xie Hui, Fang Luan and Zhang Ruogu forced the palace together, although she didn't know what happened next, but this Xie Hui's hidden power should not be underestimated.

If Xie Hui targets him, then he and Xie Xi will be in a lot of trouble.

Lin Zisu raised her eyes and expressed her thoughts to Xie Xi.

Xie Xi smiled and said: "Xie Yan has always been my second brother's minion, and the second brother is willing to cut off the wrists of a strong man, that is Xie Yan's bastard, which is of no use to my second brother."

After saying this, Xie Xi feared that Lin Zisu would not know Xie Hui's character, and said again: "My second brother has been good at calculating since he was a child. If he is the person behind this scene, it will not be surprising, but I don't know. Want to make some troubles."

Lin Zisu thought so, and nodded with a serious face.

In Kang Ningbo's mansion, Xie Xi and Lin Zisu deduced the plot of the mastermind behind the scenes.Unbeknownst to them, Xie Hui, as they called it, was furious in the residence of Xisan Institute.

Standing in front of Xie Hui was an old eunuch dressed in Tsing Yi.

If you distinguish carefully, it is not difficult to recognize that the person dressed as a eunuch is actually the old man named Yu Shizhong.

After a while, Xie Hui smashed a set of cups and saucers in front of him, and threw a piece of Tianhuang paperweight on the table to the ground. The paperweight fell to the ground, and a corner was missing immediately.

Master Yu realized the value of these things, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Xie Hui got angry for a while, and finally calmed down a little. He said in a deep voice, "How did that Kang Chaoguang do things? Didn't he ask someone to propose marriage to Miss Lin? Why did he propose marriage to that girl Lin Zisu?"
