Chapter 1706 Suspected
Bo Yechen's sharp black eyes suddenly swept towards Xia Zhixing, "The person behind Song Zi'an's lord is related to the person who assassinated me?"
He seemed not surprised that someone from Song Zi'an was instructed.
Xia Zhixing asked back, "Don't the prince feel that it's too coincidental to think about it carefully?"
Otherwise, why did Song Zi'an choose this critical moment to come to Beijing? Even though he knew that she was married, he tried his best to meet her again and again?
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone!
Bo Yechen frowned and pondered for a moment, "Tell me what you think."
Xia Zhixing coughed lightly and said, "The assassin first assassinated you, but after he failed, he focused on me. I think it was because of my emergence at the poetry meeting that made them afraid of me. In addition, I am very different from before. If I can really get the love of the emperor and the imperial concubine, and have a good relationship with Prime Minister Zhao's daughter, then I will become your virtuous assistant to the prince?"
"They definitely don't want to see such a situation, so they try every means to smear me and whip out the dark history of my past, which makes everyone knows. After all, the prince and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, both prosper and both lose. Even if the prince leaves me in the last anger, the prince will be implicated by me."
"It can be said that Song Zi'an is still a very important candidate. If you use it well, you will benefit without any harm. Even if you don't use it, at least it will cause rumors in Shangjing."
Bo Yechen pursed his lips and basically agreed with Xia Zhixing’s words in his heart. It was indeed a coincidence!
The first time Song Zi'an appeared was very clever. Even he learned that Xia Zhixing had left the mansion later, but he could accurately block the street she had to pass in advance.
So there are traitors in the palace?
This perception made Bo Yechen's back chill. Even if the person who assassinated him was not King An, he was one of their brothers.
Does the royal family affection have to be so cold?
Without waiting for him to speak, Xia Zhixing continued: "Prince, I have something to be honest with you, and I hope I can get help from you."
Bo Yechen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Say."
Xia Zhixing: "Didn't Song Zi'an get a box with exquisite workmanship? In fact, there is not a valuable thing inside, it is a jade bracelet given by my mother. Not only me, but my father's three concubines each have one. I threw it to Song Zi'an with the idea of not seeing each other without any worries. But in order to confuse the green beads around me, I deliberately said that some valuable items were placed there."
Her words were half true and half false, but in Bo Yechen's ears, he could not tell where they were fake.
"I went back to my house to visit my father's condition yesterday. I accidentally saw the jade bracelets on my hands of the three aunts. Suddenly I remembered a scandal that had been rumored at home. Some people said that my father had a thin child, so the three aunts had nothing to do after giving birth, but I think it's wrong! Aunt Yun had obviously conceived her second child, but she had an accidental miscarriage."
"Also, I still remember when Aunt Yun took Ang Ge'er back home, the back house was full of chaos every day. Since Aunt Yun gave birth, my mother and Aunt Yun miraculously reconciled. Not long after, I saw Aunt Yun wearing a jade bracelet on her hand, which I thought was given by my mother..."
Her tone was relaxed, as if she was not talking about her own home, but about someone’s gossip.
Bo Yechen looked at her curiously and noticed the "jade bracelet" she mentioned again. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and even if he didn't pay attention to these strange things in the harem, he had heard of some of them.
He said to the point: "Do you think there is something wrong with the jade bracelet?"
Xia Zhixing walked up the pole, "It's still the prince's wise! I dared to ask the prince to help me check this bracelet."
Bo Yechen looked at her with a funny look, "Did you ask me to check a bracelet in the inner house of Shangshu's mansion?"
His tone was high, as if he was saying: Why did I help you find out such a private matter?
Xia Zhixing didn't blush and gasped, "I think that 'they' might come to my mother. Chen has been working hard for so many years and has always had a good reputation among the aristocratic families. Although I gave up the thorn of 'praise', it actually doesn't hurt the Chen family. In order to protect my reputation, I also asked the prince to help me."
She thought about investigating herself, but there were no people available at the moment. Except for Zijuan and Cuiliu, no one else could trust 100%. It was too late to start cultivating her confidant.
So the best way is to ask King Jin for help. It is beneficial for her to gain his trust and standing on the same front as him.
There was a moment of silence in the room, so quiet that even the breathing of each other could be heard.
Xia Zhixing was not in a hurry. She had already said what she should say. If King Jin was really unwilling to help, she would not be able to force her head.
Just as she was about to give up, she suddenly heard Bo Yechen's low voice coming, "Then tell me, where is the next investigation direction? It makes sense, I can consider helping you."
Xia Zhixing raised his eyes, his eyes neither humble nor arrogant. "In my foolish opinion, I think the prince can send someone to stare at Song Zi'an secretly and send someone to check who he contacts every day and where he goes. Since there is an instructor behind him, his two tasks are equivalent to not being completed, and there are only two endings waiting for him. Either, he will be silenced; or plan a third opportunity."
She was firm and decisive in every word.
Bo Yechen looked at her as if he didn't know her.
I don’t know if it was an illusion or something, but he felt that the woman in front of him was not like Xia Zhixing at all. Even if she was as she said, “The prodigal son turned back and didn’t change gold”, he wouldn’t have suddenly become so smart and wise, right?
She analyzed the problems in an orderly manner, hitting the key points every sentence, not like a woman in the boudoir…
Xia Zhixing did not notice Bo Yechen's expression change and added, "Maybe, Song Zi'an has been silenced."
Her words seemed to remind the King of Jin to speed up, otherwise the clues would be cut off once Song Zi'an was silenced.
Bo Yechen suddenly stepped forward, stared at Xia Zhixing, and his black eyes hit her, "How could a woman in the boudoir understand these?"
Xia Zhixing was staring at him so hard that his throat was about to jump out, forcing himself to calm down, "What is the prince saying? Didn't I say it? I am rebelling and determined to be a good person again and make up for the losses..."
The sound behind it was getting smaller and smaller. It was because a man's aura was too strong. His dark eyes, like a deep pool, seemed to see through him...
It's a bit scary!
