Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 463 There Was an Accident
"The emperor seems to intend to get close to the palace?"

When it came to the matter of entering the palace to thank you, Shen Xi couldn't help but think of this, standing in the warehouse, holding a cloisonné enamel pen holder while watching and talking.

"What kind of attitude does he have towards us?"

She was not sure.

"If he didn't have a bargaining chip, he wouldn't rashly join forces with us to destroy Han Dun." Xiao Huai pulled out a bracelet and put it on her hand: "If it wasn't for his permission, the prince would not be able to enter the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility that day.

"He has his city, and now it's just a tacit understanding with us. The reason why he is close to us, I guess he is buying time."

"Buy time to deal with the palace?" Shen Xi looked at the bracelet, it was inlaid with diamonds and sapphires, it was actually very valuable.

"It's hard to say." He picked another bubbly to plug her in, and said, "Even if he wants to deal with us, right now he won't do anything.

"When we're done with the marriage, let's call Xu Jing out and talk about Prince An's Mansion first."

Speaking of Xu Jing, Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat.

Earlier in Chengyun Hall, He Lanzhun's appearance was beyond her expectation, but there was no other emotion in his brows and eyes, even when he reminded her to thank her, there was a smile on his face.

"How do you..."

She simply didn't know what to ask.

How did these two people resolve it?

It always felt that they collided in private much more than she saw.

Seeing the tangle in her eyes, Xiao Huai leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I have to say, you have a former fiancé who is worthy of the title of modest gentleman.

"Damn it, he is not only strong in martial arts, but also broad-minded. He conquered me."

Shen Xi blushed and hit him.

"How can you be unruly anytime, anywhere?"

"Because we are newlyweds." He propped his hands on the wall behind her with an extremely charming expression. "We've already been married, how serious do you want me to be?"

She poked him lightly.

But my heart is happy.

She had indeed secretly hoped that Xiao Huai could reconcile with He Lan, not because of her, but because of the misunderstanding between them.

But now that he is so jealous, he knows that he is Xu Jing, and he is able to open his heart to accept him, so besides his heartbeat, now he is really moved.

"Goro," she put her arms around his neck.

"Silly girl." Xiao Huai kissed her forehead.

"Young master—forgive me!"

Suddenly there was a hasty call at the door and a confession that was deeply pressed down.

Xiao Huai raised his head, Su Yan turned his back and stood there looking at Queti in the corridor.

It's really... From being tired last night to now, I haven't gotten tired enough, even the warehouse.

The entire Zhaoyang Palace was filled with a frenzied estrus smell—it seemed that they really needed to adapt to this change as soon as possible.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Huai straightened his face.

Only then did Su Yan walk in, leaned over and said, "News came from Dali Temple that Zhou Qian was robbed!"

"Zhou Qian?!"

It was not Xiao Huai who spoke, but Shen Xi behind him.

Xiao Huai held her hand, frowned and looked back at Su Yan: "What's going on?"

Su Yan's expression was already very solemn: "It should have been robbed last night, because only last night when the royal palace had a big banquet, the defenses were loose everywhere.

"The time of discovery was an hour ago. After the cell boss arrived, he found the cell door was open, all the guards were killed, and Zhou Qian was nowhere to be found.

"They first reported to the Minister of Dali Temple, and then the Minister of Dali Temple reported to the Ministry of Punishment, the Palace, and the Yamen of the Five Armies. When the news reached us, it was already an hour later."

Shen Xi straightened his mind, recalling what she had told Qi Jiu to pass on a few days ago, he raised his head and said, "Does He Lan know about this—"

"Master Helan is here!"

Before he finished speaking, He Lanzhun had already walked in with his fan in his hand. Seeing Su Yan, he immediately said, "So you just found out."

Seeing this, Shen Xi's heart moved slightly, if he appeared here, then he would not be the one who robbed the prison.

"It would be good news if the Helian people hijacked them, I'm afraid not." Xiao Huai frowned and said, looking at He Lan again: "Let's go and see."

Shen Xi held him back: "I'm going too!"

Xiao Huai refused: "You just passed the door—" I was so tired last night, so I should stay in the mansion to rest.

She shook his arm, but he couldn't hold her back, so he sighed, "Su Yan is going to prepare the car."

Shen Ruopu from the prison of Dali Temple had already sent Huo Jiu over.

When Shen Xi and the others arrived, Mr. Huo had already checked almost everything, and was leading his subordinates to record the statement.

"The iron lock of the prison door was split by a sword, and it was done with one blow.

"In addition to the two guards, there are cell leaders who are guarding the cell, and the two cell leaders who were on duty last night did not notice anything unusual in the cell.

"The cell bosses need to go to the duty room to register for handover. During this period, they will leave their posts for about half an hour. And this handover time is at the end of the day.

"From this point of view, the other party is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a very good understanding of the situation in the Dali Temple cell. They should take advantage of this moment's vacancy to act."

Xiao Huai took a look at the recorded confession he handed over, and said, "The jailer's wound was caused by what weapon?"

"It's a knife." Huo Jiu said, "It's a completely different way of attacking the killer on the pier."

Xiao Huai raised his head and said again: "Does Mrs. Bi know?"

"I've been here before, and I came in person." Huo Jiu seemed to understand what he was referring to, and answered every sentence to the point.

Xiao Huai closed the notebook and pondered.

Shen Xi looked around, it was a cell divided into four cells, and there was a faint smell of green grass in the air.

Among the four prisons, there was only one trace of people staying in it, but the door of this one happened to be wide open, and the broken lock on the door was being held in the hand of He Lanzhun, who was frowning deeply.

"Can you see something?" She walked over and asked.

"Did you smell anything?" He turned his head to look at her.

She sniffed and said hesitantly, "It seems to smell like green grass."

But where is the grass in the cell?

"If I remember correctly, it's the smell of folk incense." He frowned deeply, "I've smelled this smell in Yunnan before."

"Yunnan?" She was surprised.

"That's right." With his hands on the prison bars, his voice floated, "This kind of incense material can ward off local poisonous ants and mosquitoes, so almost every household uses it. I have also used it for several years, so I am very familiar with it."

Shen Xi held his breath, and said, "Then you mean that the people who came to the prison are people from Yunnan?"

Zhou Qian was also captured in Yunnan, and if the prisoner came from Yunnan, it must be his companion!

If it is his companion, it can be sure that his life is safe.

But since he has such a powerful companion, why did they remain silent all the way to the north when he was escorted by Lingyun Pavilion?

He Lanzhun didn't speak, and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
