"Something related to Ruoyan?" Shao Xi looked at Fu Biao's hesitant expression. He didn't know what it was that he wanted to go to the study to discuss in detail alone.
However, Shao Xi was more sensitive about matters related to Mei Ruoyan, so he didn't ask any more questions for the time being, and just took Fu Biao upstairs.
"Xiyan Pavilion". After entering the study, Shao Xi sat in front of the case, poured two cups of tea that the servants had prepared in advance, and asked Fu Biao to sit down and talk slowly.
Fu Biao sat directly opposite Shao Xi. After taking a sip of tea, he saw that Shao Xi didn't ask him any questions, and he knew that he was waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
So he thought for a while and said to Shao Xi: "Young Master has just come back, and you may not have heard of some things. Three days ago, assassins suddenly broke into the Prince Ling's Mansion, and the whole city was searched in the middle of the night. Although His Highness Prince Ling did not suffer any harm." He was injured, but I heard he was severely frightened, and the assassin has not been found yet.”
"Oh? Someone dares to break into Prince Ling's Mansion at night to assassinate him? This is indeed a lot of courage! I just came back, so I'm not surprised that I haven't heard about this. I don't think the people in the city dare to talk about this kind of thing in the street. If you don't tell me, I really don't know who would assassinate His Highness the Second Prince? You asked me to come upstairs. Do you have any news?" Fu Biao hesitated, and finally raised his head and stared as if he had made up his mind. Shao Xi said: "Originally, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us. Who wants to assassinate, whether it succeeds or not is irrelevant to us.
"However, after this incident, Miss Mei didn't come to our Shuangxue Building for three days. Yesterday, I went to Mingfengfang. I wanted to find out what Miss Mei had been busy with in the past two days. But I didn't want to be stopped by Mother Yang. When he came down, he said that the girl had been feeling unwell for the past two days.
"Originally I didn't think much about it, but just when I was about to leave, I saw Miss Fei'er coming out of Miss Mei's room. There seemed to be blood in the basin she was holding, and there were strips of cloth used to bandage wounds. .
"If Miss Mei was accidentally injured, I wouldn't be able to connect the two things together. But at that time, I saw that Miss Fei'er's expression was extremely nervous, as if she was afraid of being discovered by me, which made me think I had to think a little more, if it was just an ordinary injury, why would you hide it from me?
"Thinking again about the assassins breaking into Prince Ling's Mansion three days ago, I became even more confused. That's why I told the young master about it. What do you think of this matter?" Shao Xi frowned slightly after hearing Fu Biao's words. Suddenly, two unrelated things were connected together by Fu Biao. What does the assassin who broke into the Prince Ling's Mansion have to do with Mei Ruoyan, a woman who came from an art workshop and had no power to tie a chicken?
If Fu Biao is overthinking, logically speaking, he shouldn't. After all, Fu Biao is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is extremely sensitive to the things around him. This is already a habit of him as a soldier.
But Shao Xi couldn't figure it out. Even if Mei Ruoyan was accidentally injured, her injury would not be connected with the incident at Prince Ling's Mansion!
Is Fu Biao too sensitive?
"Fu Biao, you said that the basin of water that Fei'er brought out was the blood that had been used to clean the wounds, and there were cloth strips to bandage the wounds. How can you be so sure? Couldn't you be wrong?" The reason why Shao Xi raised this question This problem was because he felt that he could not determine whether a basin of blood and a piece of cloth were used to bandage a wound.
After all, she is a woman! There are always a few days in every month. Who knows if what Fu Biao sees is the last thing he should see?
If that's the case, wouldn't it be normal for Mayfair to avoid him? Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked this question, Fu Biao replied categorically: "I will never be wrong! Master, have you forgotten? I have been fighting in the front all year round and have seen countless dead and wounded people. That bandage is used to bandage wounds." I know better than anyone what the strip of cloth looks like and what color the water in the basin should be after soaking in blood, so when I first saw it, I was very sure that Miss Mei must have been injured in some way."
"Hmm..." Shao Xi fell into silence for a moment. He had no doubts about Fu Biao on this point. A man who has been on the battlefield for many years can say that he has seen all kinds of wounds and has bandaged all kinds of wounds.
For Fu Biao, it was a memory engraved in his mind. He believed that Fu Biao was absolutely sure that he was right when he said this.
If this is the case, why was Mei Ruoyan injured? Why did Yang's mother and Fei'er try their best to hide her injury?
But even if Mei Ruoyan had something that she didn't want others to know, how did Fu Biao connect the affairs of Prince Ling's Mansion with Mei Ruoyan?
If a reasonable explanation cannot be given, Shao Xi always feels that it is too far-fetched to connect the two things together.
"I don't doubt your judgment, but even if Ruoyan was injured, how could you connect her injury with the assassination of the assassin who broke into Prince Ling's Mansion three days ago? Do you suspect that Ruoyan is the assassin? ? What is the basis for suspicion?" Fu Biao raised his head cautiously and glanced at Shao Xi. He knew that the relationship between Mei Ruoyan and Shao Xi was very special. Shao Xi didn't want to believe that Mei Ruoyan had something to do with Prince Ling's Mansion from the bottom of his heart. association.
Now that he has raised suspicions about Mei Ruoyan, he is naturally going against Shao Xi's wishes emotionally. However, as Shao Xi's personal person, he cannot conceal anything that makes him suspicious from Shao Xi, even if it will cause Shao Xi felt uncomfortable, and he had to fulfill his duty as a personal guard.
So after a slight hesitation, Fu Biao still expressed his thoughts to Shao Xi.
"Three days ago, on the day of the incident at Prince Ling's Mansion, Miss Mei came to our house, but at dusk Miss Fei'er suddenly came to look for Miss Mei. No one knows what the two said, except that Fei'er After the girl arrived, Miss Mei hurriedly left with her, and what happened next night.
"I was originally just out of curiosity, so I went to inquire around the Prince's Mansion the next day. Although it was just a rumor, many people said that the assassin who was hunted that night should be a woman from the body shape. At that time, The guards of Prince Ling's Mansion pursued the assassin all the way after discovering him, and the assassin happened to disappear in the Mingfengfang area.
"The guards of Prince Ling's Palace also went to Mingfengfang to search that night. I heard that Miss Mei was in the square at that time. They also argued with the guards because of the guards of Prince's Palace entering Mingfengfang at night. Although all this seemed normal, alone, A certain thing has nothing to do with Miss Mei, but putting these things together always makes me feel that it is not a coincidence." After hearing Fu Biao's statement, Shao Xi fell silent again, and had to say that Fu Biao Biao's suspicion is not unreasonable.
As Fu Biao said, Mei Ruoyan suddenly left Shuangxue Tower on the day of the incident. It was rumored that the assassin of the palace was a woman. The assassin disappeared in the Mingfengfang area. There was also the matter of Mei Ruoyan's injury. Taking a look at these things, it seemed that Mei Ruoyan was not aware of them. There is nothing fishy about it, but when you put these things together, the direction becomes very strong.
But I have known Mei Ruoyan for so long and I have never noticed that she is a martial arts practitioner. Could it be that Mei Ruoyan deliberately concealed her knowledge of martial arts from herself?
So when she was blocked in her room by Wan Tian and others, was she trying to show weakness and conceal her identity as a warrior, or was she disdainful to fight against Wan Tian and others?
Why would he hide this from himself? The two have known each other for such a long time, and there are supposed to be many opportunities to tell him this kind of thing, but Mei Ruoyan has never mentioned it at all. Does she have any other identity?
So what is the reason why she hides this identity from herself? At the moment, Fu Biao's suspicion of Mei Ruoyan is just suspicion. It would be okay if it was a coincidence, but now even Shao Xi himself doesn't think it is a coincidence.
Because it is impossible for so many coincidences to happen to one person on the same day, it can only mean that these coincidences are only caused by Mei Ruoyan's concealment. What is she hiding?
Shao Xi suddenly felt that he was in a state of confusion. He had been facing a lot of problems, but now even the person he cared about the most had turned into a mystery. This made Shao Xi suddenly feel that there was something wrong. A feeling of being cheated.
Considering the relationship between Mei Ruoyan and herself, if it weren't for her extremely secretive and special status, she would never have been able to hide it from her for so long.
The reason why he hid it from himself must be that there was some huge secret hidden behind it, and this secret might be related to Mei Ruoyan's life or death.
But Mei Ruoyan appeared next to him in such a special identity. Is this a coincidence or did Mei Ruoyan do it intentionally?
If Mei Ruoyan approached her intentionally, what was her purpose? Did she approach him under the instructions of others, or was it for her own purposes?
If she was ordered to get close to her, what would she or the person behind her want from her?
At this moment, Shao Xi suddenly remembered that his identity was actually a secret. In this world, his true identity is Feng Yuyan, the son of the owner of the Feng family, and he is also a member of the royal Xiao family. This identity itself is a secret.
If Mei Ruoyan was assigned to get close to her, would she just want to find out her identity? If the person who sent her here has begun to doubt her identity, will this person also come here for the nine-color glazed buckle on her body?
Another thing that needs to be clarified now is that if she is really the assassin who entered Prince Ling's Mansion to assassinate him, did she really enter Prince Ling's Mansion to assassinate?
Or is there any other purpose? This series of associations made Shao Xi feel shocked. If there was really a problem with Mei Ruoyan's identity, then the situation he was facing now might be quite dangerous.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi couldn't help but ask Biao: "During the six months since I left, did she come home often? Who did she have the most contact with on weekdays? What topics did she often talk about? What did she ask when she talked about me? ?" Seeing Shao Xi's question, Fu Biao quickly replied: "Miss Mei often comes to my house, mainly to take care of Miss Ning'er. She rarely talks to me when she comes here on weekdays, but she has a close relationship with Miss Ning'er. Maybe you can ask Miss Ning'er, and you might be able to find out something."
"Go and call Ning'er to the study immediately. Go now!"
