Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 162 Are you going to kill me?

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?

Shen Xi raised her head suddenly, she didn't know why Song Jiao was in the Ziyao Palace, and how could she know if she was calling the tiger away from the mountain?

She thought he was angry because she lied to him to go back to Qianqing Palace, but she didn't expect Song Jiao to be involved!

"I don't know." She shook her head decisively.

"If you didn't know, why would you come to Ziyao Palace to urge me to go back to Qianqing Palace?"

Xiao Huai unexpectedly looked down at her: "Don't tell me you want to say that you didn't come to call me because you knew someone was going to assassinate in advance?"

Shen Xi was speechless!

These are two different things, okay?

She knew that there would be an assassin in the Qianqing Palace, and then tricked him into returning to the Qianqing Palace to rescue him. It didn't mean she knew that Song Jiao was set up by someone!

And even if she tricked him into going back to Qianqing Palace, it wouldn't be a loss for him, would it? !

Her purpose is also not to want the assassin's actions to succeed, so why does he think she must have something to do with the assassin? !
……No!wrong!
If Song Jiao was brought here because she was used, wouldn't that mean that the assassin still has accomplices?

She looked up at him, her mind suddenly spinning fast!

Shen Yan said that after the assassin was caught, the ban on the entire palace was lifted, but since Song Jiao was also set up here, why didn't Xiao Huai find out the truth, and instead cut the weeds and root them out?

Why in her previous life, the inside and outside of the palace immediately returned to normal after the assassin was caught?
Is it really just because the palace wants to stabilize the hearts of the people?

But Shen Yan never said that the assassin had an accomplice, so what about the accomplice?
If the accomplice was caught on the spot, it is impossible for Shen Ruopu not to know.

And since Shen Yan heard him say that she caught one, why would she miss the other at the same time?
The point is, after suffering such an accident, why did the Empress Dowager still have the mind to continue the next civil and military competition and the Lantern Festival in Dunyi Garden?

Besides, why did these Helian assassins come to die?

They were able to escape for 12 years without dying, which shows that they have some skills, and their brains should not be very stupid. Why can't they figure this out?
Shouldn't it be correct to try to protect yourself at a time like this?

What benefits can the assassination bring to the Helian people? !

Even Qi Jiu, the shadow guard beside the emperor, has never been so enthusiastic. Why would they do this?
To put it bluntly, what are they planning?
"What did you think of?" Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes, his teeth hanging above her.

He wished he could cut open her heart with a knife and see what color it was inside!
He tried his best to protect her from being discovered, but she still lied to him!

Shen Xi swallowed his saliva and said, "Is your son going to kill me?"

Xiao Huai did not move.

Such a dishonest guy, why don't you kill him and keep it for the New Year? !

Shen Xi pursed his lips and looked at him, his whole mind was filled with the previous questions.

If he really got into the horns to be suspicious of her, she wouldn't be unable to drag him out of the horns!Compared to killing her, the unlucky bastard, isn't it more important to find out the truth?

But now when she came to see him again, she suddenly felt that there was no need for it!
How could Xiao Huai not think of the questions she could think of?

He can take on the responsibility of escort today, and he also handles military affairs in the palace on behalf of King Yan's mansion!
If he was such a hotheaded guy, how did she survive in the alley?You must know that she really wanted to kill him at that time!
No matter what kind of changes occurred in the palace, he would never allow the emperor and Queen Mother Zheng to appear in any situation that might fall into danger again, so how could he agree to continue the civil and military competition and the lantern festival?

There are only two reasons for the rapid return to calm that Shen Yan saw in her previous life!
Either the assassin recruited all his accomplices, or he decided that there would be no more danger...

The former is obviously impossible. Since such an assassin who is not afraid of death, how could he confess immediately after being caught?

Then only the latter!

He believed that the queen mother and the emperor would no longer be in danger, so he let them go.

However, how did he determine that they were not in danger?

Her eyes were glued to his face, and she had never looked at someone for so long.

Xiao Huai saw the stars twinkling in her eyes from time to time, and put down his hands with a cold face.

To be able to remain calm under such persecution by him, he really deserves to be the only strong man in Xiao Huai.

Shen Xi stroked his chin subconsciously and thought again, and tentatively asked: "The prince called me here, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Huai's face was calm, and he looked forward with his sword: "Tell me what you know first, why did your grandfather just save you? Why are you so anxious to persuade me to go back to Qianqing Palace?

"Also, you kept inquiring about me outside Qianqing Palace in the morning. Does that mean that you have already received the news? If you still want to fool me, I will throw you to Huo Jiu!"

Shen Xi felt relieved, knowing that he had guessed right!

He didn't really suspect that she had anything to do with the assassin at all!
Her bloodline is no longer a secret in front of him, and her life is still in his hands. As long as she was afraid of death in front of him in the past, and it was too late to avoid danger, how could she still take these matters?

Furthermore, if she really had something to do with the assassin, how could she invite him to Qianqing Palace?

If she pretended to be deaf and dumb, wouldn't he have the slightest suspicion on her?
So she said: "If the son can spare me from dying, of course I will say it."

Xiao Huai glared at her.

She hurriedly said again: "Actually, it is like this, I did receive some news in advance that someone might want to attack at the palace banquet today.

"But I don't know exactly what they're planning or how they want to do it.

"I only know that if the son is there, they will definitely not dare to do anything, so they will take the risk to find you in Ziyao Palace."

Xiao Huai stared at her again: "Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Speaking of this, Shen Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from you. The main reason is that I am worried that the prince will set up a net to lure the assassins if he knows in advance, and then kill them."

Xiao Huai paused, staring at her and said: "Even if a net is laid, I will not make a mistake in killing them."

"Of course there is nothing wrong with the son, but it is different for me."

Shen Xidao: "Now there are not many Helian people left, at least the capital is almost extinct.

"Even if I'm living under the protection of the eldest son, even if I have no intentions for the court, I still bleed the blood of the Helian people.

"You make me forget who I am, I can't do that.

"And I can't do anything for them, but at least I can't kill them.

"I just want to do something to prevent this from happening, because once it happens, the assassin will definitely not be able to escape the strict guards.

"I don't want him to assassinate, let alone die, so I can only invite you back to frighten the other party."
