Chapter 649
At the end of the speech, he added softly: "That's all."

Su Xi was slightly taken aback.

This man looks cold and serious, but when he becomes gentle, even every strand of hair on his head is gentle.

She was still resistant to handsome men, but she was seduced by him without any defense against handsome men like him alone.

"Actually, if you are afraid of the heat, you can stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review papers, and I can go by myself." Looking at Ling Juncheng's burning eyes, she pursed her lips and changed the subject: "The torture room is so stuffy. Even the wind is hard to penetrate."

Ling Juncheng's eyes froze.

He obviously didn't expect Su Xi to change the topic so quickly and was caught off guard.

His deep eyes narrowed.

At this time, she shouldn't respond with something.

It must be intentional, I owe it to you!
"I'm going with you, aren't you happy?" He lowered his magnetic voice, every word agitated his eardrums, "I don't want me to accompany you, so who do you want to accompany?"

"Pretend I didn't say that." Su Xi pursed her lips, "I'm just worried that you'll suffer from prickly heat."

It was all fine just now, but suddenly it changed.

"No," Ling Juncheng turned his face away, with a calm expression, "I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I can bear it."

"Cough cough," Su Xi pretended to cough twice, moved towards him to calm the atmosphere and said, "Why did Nanny Li die suddenly? Do you think it's strange?"

"You'll know what's going on in the torture room after a while." The man kept his face soft and returned to his usual seriousness and coldness. "The person behind her is well hidden, so we must be more careful in the future."

Su Xi nodded: "Whenever you are about to know something, the clues are suddenly cut off, starting with Xianrou's mother and daughter, then Concubine Ming, and now Nanny Li."

"I don't know who it will be in the future. If that person can't be found for a day, things will continue."

She frowned, without any clue.

"There's also Concubine Li and the man who died in the well," Ling Juncheng added, "The deaths of these people should all be committed by the same person."

He said a word neither salty nor bland, and there was a chill in his half-closed phoenix eyes.

"I heard that you showed up at Qingtanchi with all your concubines that day, and you were going to pray for the queen mother." Su Xi lowered her eyes and asked softly.

Speaking of Li Pin and that man, she couldn't help but think of those days when he was too busy to be seen, and it was so coincidental that he appeared there that day and witnessed Ling Yuan hugging her.
Although she didn't believe what Concubine Wen said on the edge of the emerald lake, the suspicion floating in her heart at that time has never been dispelled.

"Well," Ling Juncheng nodded slightly, "Isn't the queen mother always pretending to be a loving mother and filial son? In those few days, she pretended to be sick and bedridden, so I also cooperated with her in a play, so I took all the concubines to The temple prayed for her."

"Because of emotion and reason, I have done what I should do as a subject. Her attempt to usurp the throne this time can be said to ruin her own reputation. Even if I imprison her, people in the world will not criticize me or be criticized It's only her."

After that incident 19 years ago, he tried to kill her more than once.

This time he had a chance to kill her, especially after Su Xi told him that she was not her biological mother, he couldn't restrain the urge to kill her even more.

Just because she and Lord Hou are siblings, Lord Hou secretly helped him get through crisis after crisis during his years of homelessness.

Leaving her alive was only for the sake of Lord Hou's heart, and it was all for the sake of Lord Hou.
