Chiyang was stunned. This was different from her prediction. Of course, her prediction was not necessarily correct, but her intuition told her that Li Jingxiao was definitely responsible for this matter.
[Although the eldest prince is interested in the throne, he is an upright gentleman and only engages in conspiracy and disdains assassination. 】
Li Jingxing was thoughtful.
Li Jingye personally reported the Huzhou General Soldier matter to his father yesterday. He could have found someone else to do it, but he chose to do it himself. Indeed, as Chiyang said, he seemed to disdain for conspiracy.
Chiyang asked: "Where is the other assassin?"
"He is a tough guy. He refuses to open his mouth until he can stand it. He will die if he can't stand it any longer."
Chiyang thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "I have a plan, I don't know..."
"Princess, it's okay to say so."
.......
After a cup of tea, Li Jingxing came to the torture chamber in person. Du Qing and another guard in charge of the torture said in unison: "I have met His Highness!"
The assassin who had confessed to the eldest prince lay dying in a pool of blood, his mouth blocked by Du Qing's dirty clothes. Hearing the sound, he looked towards Li Jingxing, glanced at it and lowered his head again.
Li Jingxing looked at the assassin, covered his nose and said, "He said he is the Fourth Prince's man?"
The assassin was stunned for a moment before looking up and looking at Du Qing in surprise.
Du Qing glanced at the assassin meaningfully, then stepped forward and said, "This grandson bit the eldest prince at first, but he confessed honestly after he couldn't bear it anymore."
Another person also said: "Your Highness, these four princes are so cunning. Not only do they keep a low profile, they also plot to provoke a fight between your highness and the eldest prince in order to reap the benefits. I think the fourth prince should be dealt with as soon as possible!"
The assassin's heart was filled with panic. These two people were actually the eldest prince's people!
no!
He never said that he was from the fourth prince!
He is the eldest prince's "person"!
The assassin whined and struggled, but unfortunately his hands and feet were tightly tied and his mouth was stuffed, so he couldn't speak at all.
Seeing this scene, there was something else Li Jingxing didn't understand.
If this assassin really belonged to Li Jingye, and heard that his "companion" was covering up for his master, he would definitely choose to acquiesce, and he would not try to struggle or refute.
The fourth brother is really scheming and resourceful. It seems that it is not unfair at all that he was defeated by the other party in his last life.
Du Qing and another guard also felt that their lives were in doubt, and they were almost deceived. Fortunately, His Highness was wise!
Li Jingxing left the execution chamber and returned to the study. Chiyang was still eating snacks inside. When he heard the footsteps, he looked towards him, a little nervous.
[Isn’t it possible that I didn’t come out after trial? Wouldn’t the short-lived ghost look down on me even more? 】
Li Jingxing was originally in a good mood, but when he heard the words "short-lived ghost", the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
[This is not the key point. If it is really Li Jingxiao's plan to provoke others, the two brothers Short-lived Ghost and Li Jingye will fight like dogs. Wouldn't it be an advantage for Li Jingxiao? What a delay! 】
【no! I need to give you some more advice. 】
While thinking about it, Li Jingxing walked into the house with a dark face, and Chiyang stood up and saluted.
"Your Highness."
Li Jingxing glanced at her lightly: "Sit down, it was indeed arranged by the fourth child."
It's not that he didn't have the idea of teasing Chiyang, but he just thought that if he did that, Chiyang would definitely scold him even more excessively in his heart. In the end, it would be him who would be sulking, so he thought about it.
Chiyang's face was filled with joy: "Your Highness is wise!"
[The short-lived ghost is still confused. 】
Seeing that his expression was not good, Chiyang didn't want to stay here and get into trouble, so he said, "Your Highness, I will go to the front yard to see Yan Bai."
"Go ahead."
Chiyang said goodbye and walked out while cursing.
[As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Li Jingye is a gentleman, but Li Jingxiao is a downright sinister villain. 】
[If I were a short-lived ghost, I would make a truce with Li Jingye now and make peace with Li Jingxiao for the time being. After Li Jingxiao received his lunch box, I would use fair and just means to fight for that position. 】
Li Jingxing was not tempted. He would not choose to cooperate with the enemy, because it would easily lead to enemies from both sides. A three-way fight would be a three-way fight. It would only take more effort.
Thinking of Li Zetian's favor for Li Jingxiao, Li Jingxing had a headache. It would be great if he could find evidence that Li Jingxiao was not of his father's bloodline as soon as possible.
Chiyang came to the front yard and took a look at Baili Yan.
Bailiyan was still the same, seemingly indifferent to everything. Although he should eat, sleep, and take medicine when he should, he was always unhappy, as if he had left his soul.
Bailiyan was also one of the murderers who killed her in her previous life. If she didn't kill him directly, it would be considered that her mother's heart was overflowing, no matter whether he had the will to live or not.
Chiyang simply went back to the room. There were a lot of things that needed to be paid attention to in her previous life. She repeatedly recalled and refined the key points to avoid missing anything.
What she cares about most is her parents and brothers.
In the previous life, my mother was angered to death by Fang Niang, and my father died unexpectedly at his residence in the Gyeonggi camp on the eve of the Rebellion. Then someone designed the 300,000 Chi family army to split into several parts, each working in their own camp. The Chi family was completely lost. To gain control of Chi Jiajun.
It was later confirmed that Li Jingxiao and Gu Qingzhi bribed a highly trusted subordinate of her father, but it was a pity that she could not figure out the true identity of the traitor until her death.
The eldest brother Chi Mingyu was chronically poisoned by his concubine Qi Xiaoyan, and his internal strength continued to lose. He died in the battle to cover her and Li Jingxing's escape.
Just after her eldest brother died tragically, she saw Qi Xiaoyan kneeling in front of her eldest brother and crying bitterly. It was really funny.
The second brother, Chi Mingli, was even more ridiculous. He died on the bed in disheveled clothes, and her second sister-in-law, the courtesan, was nowhere to be seen.
Finally, she saw the woman next to Li Jingxiao. It was obvious who the murderer was.
On the one hand, Chiyang hated the shamelessness of his enemies, but at the same time, he was also annoyed by his father and brother's lustful obsession. One, two or three of them fell on women, how could he not be angry!
Now that the matter of the three women has been resolved, what she is most worried about is the traitor beside her father.
She had no evidence and rashly suggested to her father that there was a spy around him. She would not believe it. She could not stay with her father every day to catch the spy, so she could only arrange for a reliable person to investigate the traitor's identity.
This person must be smart and careful, but also loyal. There is no such person around her.
Li Jingxing stood outside the door and listened clearly to Chiyang's mental activities, and deliberately made some noise and walked into the house.
Chiyang quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met His Highness."
Li Jingxing said casually: "Sit down."
Chiyang sat down as he was told, with a supple expression.
As long as Li Jingxing doesn't make her anxious, she is still willing to pretend to be dignified. After all, she has been pretending for more than ten years and has already formed a habit.
Li Jingxing thought deeply and said, "Since you are not an ordinary boudoir girl, I think you have something you want to do, so I will send two reliable people to you, and you can use it yourself."
