Kong Wenshun sat on the chair, motionless as if struck by lightning. Although he still didn't know what happened, from Qin Nan's words, he could tell that the incident actually involved the deceased prince, and he also heard that the prince's death did not seem normal.
Qin Zhidao, on the other hand, looked at Qin Nan dumbfounded. He didn't expect Qin Nan to be able to deduce so much just from Su Shi's words.
However, he couldn't help but ask: "Since Hui Niang is Pei Xun's person, why didn't she give the book to Pei Xun and hide it instead?"
Qin Nan was slightly startled when he heard this, as if he had not thought of this question, and then his head gradually lowered, as if he found this question difficult to answer.
At this time, Su Shi said slowly: "I guess Hui Niang fell in love with the prince in the end. She was unwilling to betray Pei Xuan, but she was also unwilling to let down the prince. Faced with the dilemma, this was the best solution she could think of. .”
After Qin Zhidao thought about it carefully, he felt that Su Shi's words made some sense and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
But at this moment, Qin Nan raised his head and looked at Su Shi, but hesitated to speak.
Su Shi looked at her doubtfully: "Do you think there is a problem?"
Qin Nan shook his head and sighed softly: "I'm afraid Huiniang won't know until her death that the prince was actually killed by Pei Xun."
Su Shi frowned slightly: "Why do you have such thoughts?"
Qin Nan's small face suddenly turned red, as if she had applied a layer of rouge. After a long time, she whispered: "I only know that if Hui Niang knew that Pei Xun killed her Qing...Qing Lang, she would definitely I will try my best to get revenge, and I will certainly not hide it for Pei Xuan."
After saying this, Qin Nan blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly lowered her head, lest others see her embarrassment.
But no one paid attention to her at this time. Kong Wenshun was still shocked by her words and did not recover for a long time. Qin Zhidao kept stroking his beard, but his eyes were blank.
Su Shi seemed to have gotten some inspiration from Qin Nan's words and was lost in thought.
After a long time, Su Cai broke the silence in the room. He looked at Qin Nan and asked slowly: "Do you think Hui Niang suspected that there was something wrong with the prince's death?"
At this time, Qin Nan had calmed down. When he heard Su Shi's question, he couldn't help but hesitate: "The prince died so suddenly, anyone would be suspicious."
"Then will she suspect that it is related to Pei Xuan?"
"If Hui Niang knew something about Pei Xun's methods, then she would definitely suspect that the prince's death was related to Pei Xun."
Su Shi's eyes became confused again, and he murmured, "But it can't be confirmed now."
Qin Nan suddenly smiled: "Why can't you confirm it?"
Su Shi looked at her in surprise: "Can you confirm it?"
"Natural energy."
"How to prove it?"
Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun stared at these two people in stunned silence. Their own thinking could no longer keep up with Qin Nan and Su's.
Qin Nan said slowly: "Just now you said that Huiniang would be in a dilemma when facing the prince and Pei Xuan, but in my opinion, she would not do it at all."
"Why?"
"I guess Pei Xun must be very kind to Hui Niang, so Hui Niang would be willing to risk beheading and enter the palace to get close to the prince."
Su Shi nodded. Qin Nan's guess was the same as his on one point.
"Since Hui Niang is favored by the prince, apart from her appearance, I believe that her character is pure and good, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary women."
Su Shi thought for a while and nodded again in agreement.
The prince is a virtuous man and has great ambitions. How can any ordinary secular woman fall into his eyes.
Qin Nan said slowly: "The prince has feelings for her, and Pei Xun is kind to her. It seems to be a dilemma, but with the death of the prince, this knot has been untied."
Even Su Shi didn't understand this time: "Why?"
Qin Nan sighed quietly: "Because as soon as the prince died, I guess Hui Niang had already had a death wish and wanted to follow the prince to repay the prince's love. But she could have given the book to Pei Xun before she died, so that she could Pay back Pei Xun's kindness. In this way, she can repay all the kindness and love, so why is there a dilemma? "
Su Shi's eyes lit up and he said slowly: "On the contrary, since Hui Niang did not give the book to Pei Xuan, it means that she believed that the prince's death was related to him."
"At least I will be suspicious." Qin Nan asked again: "In that case, what will Hui Niang do?"
Su Shi took a long breath: "She will definitely figure out the cause of the prince's death."
Then he slowly walked back and forth in the room, saying as he walked: "The reason why Hui Niang chose the Hongmei Pavilion as a place of house arrest is because the Hongmei Pavilion is in a street market, and it is easier for Pei Xun to contact her. .”
"And she also knows that Pei Xuan will definitely look for her, because the book is in her hands."
"During her house arrest, Pei Xuan must have contacted her, and Huiniang finally knew that the prince's death was indeed related to him."
Qin Nan suddenly felt filled with emotion: "Pei Xuan must have been extremely kind to Hui Niang, so even if Hui Niang knew that he had killed the prince, she only committed suicide in the end and did not report him."
But at this time, Su Shi was thinking about another thing: "Since Huiniang didn't give the book to Pei Xuan, then she must have hidden the book."
Qin Nan suddenly said: "This book must not be in the Hongmei Pavilion."
Since Hui Niang has doubts about Pei Xuan, she will definitely not bring the book with her.
Su Shi pondered: "Since it's not in the Hongmei Pavilion, it must be in the palace. But the palace is so big, where can I find it?"
Qin Nan reminded: "Although the palace is large, Huiniang's space for activities is not large."
At this time, Su Shi was standing at the desk. Hearing Qin Nan's reminder, he couldn't help but tap the table with his hand.
"Since the prince has entrusted Hui Niang with such an important thing for safekeeping, Hui Niang will definitely treasure it. She is afraid that something will go wrong, so she will keep it close to her."
At this time, it was as if the sun shone into Qin Nan's eyes, making her eyes even brighter.
"Hui Niang must have kept the book on her body for safekeeping. When she broke into the East Palace to worship the prince, she exposed her relationship with the prince. After that, she was placed under house arrest first in the palace and then in the Hongmei Pavilion."
Su Shi hesitated and said: "You mean the book was still on Huiniang when she paid homage to the prince. So there are only two places where she can hide the book. Since she didn't hide the book in the Hongmei Pavilion, then this book is Hiding her under house arrest in the palace."
Qin Nan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Su Shi sighed, and was about to ask, when suddenly an idea flashed in his head, and then his expression changed and became a little lazy, and then he suddenly said: "I'm hungry."
No one would have thought that Su Shi would say these words at this time. Everyone looked at him in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster.
Su Shi said confidently: "I didn't even eat breakfast today. It's almost noon. Shouldn't I be hungry?"
Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun were so angry that he laughed, but Qin Nan looked at him with a strange expression.
Su Shi looked at her and sighed, "I just can't think of it. And when I'm hungry, I have no ideas at all."
