"How is it, Miss Lian'er, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Jie withdrew his gaze, then asked Yu Wenxuan with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, I can't die!" For some reason, even though Xiao Jie saved her life, Yu Wenxuan was still angry when she saw Xiao Jie, and her words were naturally not good.

Xiao Jie was not angry either, but just smiled lightly: "The royal family has the dignity of the royal family. No matter what, I will be your savior. If you talk to me in such a tone, it will damage the dignity of your Yuwen clan."

Yu Wenxuan's expression changed instantly, but she quickly returned to normal, and said coldly: "I don't know what His Royal Highness Qi Wang is talking about, what is the Yuwen clan, I don't understand."

Xiao Jie seemed to have expected that Yu Wenxuan would deny it, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I can make it clearer, you are not Lian'er, but Yu Wenxuan, the orphan of the Zhou Dynasty, I am right. Bar."

Yu Wenxuan's heart sank: "When did you know?"

Xiao Jie smiled lightly: "I always knew."

Yu Wenxuan's mood instantly sank to the bottom, and she couldn't believe it and asked: "Since you have always known my real identity, why haven't you exposed me?"

Xiao Jie smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "It's very simple, because it won't do me any good to expose your identity, but I can use you to help me do some shady things, such as secretly putting bows and crossbow armor in other people's homes. "

Yu Wenxuan naturally understood that Xiao Jie was talking about framing Wang Tu, but she was even more puzzled: "If this is the case, then why are you revealing my identity now?"

Xiao Jie didn't answer her directly, but just sighed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I tell you some bad news, you will understand the reason after listening."

Yu Wenxuan's heart tightened for no reason, but she still nodded and said, "Tell me."

Xiao Jie looked at Yu Wenxuan quietly, and said in a flat tone: "The night you failed to assassinate Qin Wang Xiao Huang, the wonderful boat caught fire and no one survived."

Yu Wenxuan felt as if struck by lightning in an instant, her face full of disbelief.

"Impossible, you lied to me, you must be lying to me." Yu Wenxuan became very emotional and shouted at Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie sighed: "Do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you by telling such a lie?"

Yu Wenxuan stopped talking, she lay on the bed, staring blankly ahead, two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Miao Ren Fang was the painstaking efforts of those old people from the Zhou Dynasty for decades, but now it has disappeared in an instant, and even those who followed her wholeheartedly to restore the country also died. At this moment, Yu Wenxuan felt that her heart was also dead .

Xiao Jie didn't speak either, but just stood there quietly watching Yu Wenxuan, waiting for her to calm down slowly.

"Do you know who did it?"

After a long time, the hole in Yu Wenxuan's eyes disappeared, replaced by hatred, these people died for her and their Yuwen family, she must avenge them.

Xiao Jie looked at her and asked in a deep voice: "I have some clues, but I'm not quite sure. If you can answer me a few questions, maybe I can finally confirm it."

"Okay, you ask, as long as I know something, I will tell you." Yu Wenxuan said without any hesitation, her tone was firm.

"Did Wang Chong ask you to assassinate Xiao Huang?" Xiao Jie asked his first question.

"Yes!" Yu Wenxuan nodded heavily, and added, "What he means is that if Xiao Huang died in the assassination, we will leave physical evidence about you at the scene. You will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of killing your brother, Minister of the Court Naturally, I will no longer support you as the crown prince."

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, which was in line with Wang Chong's usual style.

"Xiao Huang's martial arts is very strong, and he has a group of arrogant soldiers guarding him. Since you have decided to assassinate him, you should plan carefully to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But why did you fail in the end?" Xiao Jie continued to ask.

A look of pain flashed across Yu Wenxuan's eyes, and she recalled the scene of that night again in her mind, those loyal subordinates died one by one under the hands of Xiao Huang and Liangzhou soldiers in order to protect her from escaping.

Yu Wenxuan took a deep breath, managed to calm down her emotions, and said slowly: "Xiao Huang is surrounded by many soldiers every day, and we have never found a suitable opportunity to attack, until one day he went out alone in the middle of the night, and we felt the timing We have already arrived, so we decided to attack that night, but who would have thought that as soon as we showed up, a large number of Liangzhou soldiers killed around us..."

When Yu Wenxuan said this, the scene of that night came back to her mind, and she couldn't continue talking.

Xiao Jie's heart moved, and he asked: "You mean, you were ambushed by Xiao Huang that night, and that's why the assassination failed?"

Yu Wenxuan nodded, and said with pain on her face: "I am also very surprised, we have such a thorough plan, but why Xiao Huang knew about it, and set up an ambush to deal with us in advance."

Xiao Jie's heart suddenly brightened, and he smiled coldly: "Then everything makes sense."

Yu Wenxuan looked at Xiao Jie, and there was a trace of expectation in her eyes: "Do you know all the truth?"

Xiao Jie nodded, and then said eloquently: "In fact, Xiao Huang knew that someone wanted to assassinate him early on, so he specially pretended to go out alone in the middle of the night, just to lure you to do it."

Yu Wenxuan suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and said puzzledly, "You mean, he knew that someone wanted to assassinate him, and deliberately created opportunities for us?"

Xiao Jie smiled lightly: "That's right, in fact, he and Wang Chong have the same idea, as long as he is assassinated, everyone will suspect me."

"Impossible, even Wang Chong doesn't know the time of our action, how could he know?" Yu Wenxuan still couldn't believe it.

"He doesn't need to know your assassination time, because he knows that as long as he gives you a good chance to attack, you will never let it go. In other words, your assassination time is determined by him." Xiao Hsu took the trouble to explain.

"Even if you are right in terms of timing, how would he know that someone wanted to assassinate him? Our people will never betray me." Yu Wenxuan shook her head again and again.

Xiao Jie shook his head: "The problem is not on your side, it should be on Wang Chong's side. Xiao Huang got the support of his father-in-law Wang Cheng, which led to the estrangement between the Wang family and his son. He knew that when he returned to Luoyang, Wang Chong would definitely He will deal with him, so he should have sent people to keep an eye on Wang Chong, so he naturally knows that Wang Chong sent people to assassinate him."

Yu Wenxuan closed her eyes, and smiled sadly. It turned out that she had fallen into someone else's trap early in the morning, and was played by others without knowing it.

"So, Xiao Huang sent people to burn the wonderful boat?"

Xiao Jie nodded: "To be precise, it was Xiao Huang who burned it himself. I went to the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to check the files. The people in the Miao Ren Fang were all killed first, and then their bodies were burned in the fire. Only Xiao Huang had This skill..."

"Why did he do this?" Yu Wenxuan believed it, but she couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Jie pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I guess there are two reasons, one is that as long as Miaorenfang is destroyed and all the evidence is burned, I will never be able to clear up the suspicion of assassinating him, and the other is to protect Wang Cheng, because he If he is assassinated, his father will definitely send someone to investigate, and sooner or later he will find Miao Renfang, but if he follows the clues and finds Wang Chong, it may stimulate Wang Cheng in Liangzhou, and it will affect his plan in Liangzhou instead. He wants to set Miao Renfang on fire to protect Wang Chong."

Yu Wenxuan didn't speak, but secretly made up her mind.

If Xiao Huang is not killed, she, Yu Wenxuan, swears not to be a human being!

Xiao Jie also knew that she needed to be quiet now, sighed, and said softly: "You should have a good rest first, I will come to see you later."

Yu Wenxuan still didn't speak, Xiao Jie also turned to leave, but when he walked to the door, he still heard a soft voice: "Thank you for telling me so much."

Xiao Jie paused, then walked out of the room with a smile. ,

But as soon as Xiao Jie came to the yard, he saw Xiangling walking towards this side with the medicinal soup, Xiao Jie casually told Xiangling that Yu Wenxuan was in a bad mood now and asked her to talk to Yu Wenxuan.

However, Xiangling poked her watery eyes, and boldly teased: "Your Highness, if you want me to chat with her, don't be afraid that I will slip up and accidentally tell her that you changed the clothes on her body."

Xiao Jie's face turned green instantly...
