Chapter 229 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"You can find Master Qi!"

Judging from his previous performance, Qi Fengxian must have admired Huo Jinjian very much, and unlike other officials, his appreciation was not mixed with any flattery.

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Huo Jin's eyes.

Although he had worked with Qi Fengxian for such a long time, he didn't know Qi Fengxian very well.

I just feel that Qi Fengxian works diligently, makes no mistakes, and is a careful person.

"Do you believe him?" Huo Jin didn't know why Liang Moyuan chose Qi Fengxian, whom she had not known for long, for such a crucial matter.

Liang Moyuan nodded seriously.

Liang Moyuan had personally witnessed how Qi Fengxian treated the refugees, and since he had not yet taken the initiative to come to the Marquis' Mansion to find out what had happened to Huo Jinjian, she knew that he was a man of few words but with a clear conscience.

Liang Moyuan looked at Huo Jinjian and said, "The assassination attempt is enough to show his character. He could have left on his own at that time, but he stayed to help."

At that time, Qi Fengxian's command and deployment of those soldiers were very good.

His abilities should be greater than what he showed.

Because Liang Moyuan believed in Qi Fengxian, Huo Jin didn't think about it any more and directly sent someone to invite Qi Fengxian.

By the way, also spread some news.

Qi Fengxian knew Mei Shu as Liang Moyuan's close attendant, and they had also worked together when managing refugees.

When Mei Shu found Qi's mansion and said that Liang Moyuan wanted to see him for something, he immediately packed up and followed Mei Shu to the Marquis' Mansion.

On the way, Qi Fengxian asked uneasily, "Mei Shu, why did Madam Huo suddenly want to see me?"

These days, he was also deliberately trying to find out the news about Huo Jinjian.

There was just no sound at all.

The tighter you keep it secret, the more problems there are.

Qi Fengxian was also very worried.

Today, Mei Shu suddenly came to his house, and his heart beat faster and faster with anxiety.

Mei Shu saw Qi Fengxian's worry and just whispered, "Master Huo is fine. I have something to ask of you today. Master Qi will know when the time comes."

After all, he was the useful person that Liang Moyuan had taken a fancy to. When Qi Fengxian heard Mei Shu say this, he immediately understood what was going on without saying a word.

When he entered the Marquis' Mansion, he also met Marquis Huo.

"Greetings, Lord Huo." Qi Fengxian bowed politely.

Seeing that Mei Shu brought Qi Fengxian to the Marquis's residence, Huo Hou's eyes flashed with doubt: "What is this——"

"Mrs. Huo said that I need to be responsible for the follow-up of the Management Department. Mrs. Huo has been inconvenienced recently, so I asked Miss Meishu to come and inform me." Qi Fengxian spoke without any mistakes.

He roughly guessed the situation Liang Moyuan and Huo Jin were facing now.

If Huo Jin saw that others were also as healthy as Mei Shu said, then Lord Huo should not be suspicious of his purpose in coming.

So Qi Fengxian reacted quickly and told the reason before Mei Shu.

Upon hearing this, Huo Hou did not doubt it and nodded, his hands behind his back: "Well, thank you for your hard work."

After narrowly fooling Marquis Huo, Qi Fengxian followed Mei Shu into the courtyard of the main house.

The whole yard was silent and looked very lonely and depressed.

Compared with the past, it is indeed sad.

When Qi Fengxian saw Mei Shu push open the door, he withdrew his gaze and hurried into the room.

The temperature in the room was much higher than outside. As soon as Qi Fengxian entered, beads of sweat appeared on his head.

Liang Moyuan's voice sounded from behind the screen.

"Master Qi is here, please come in."

Qi Fengxian walked over the screen and saw Huo Jinjian sitting on the bed, and Liang Moyuan, who had lost a lot of weight.

Both of them looked energetic and did not show any loneliness.

"Lord Huo, I'm so glad that you're safe and sound." Qi Fengxian's eyes met Huo Jinjian's, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's as ever.

Qi Fengxian finally felt relieved.

Only Liang Moyuan and Huo Jin were in the room, and it was obvious that they were waiting for Qi Fengxian.

He didn't ask any other questions, but just looked at Liang Moyuan and said earnestly: "Madam Huo, what do you need me to do?"

"This matter is of great importance. Before I speak, you can refuse it, because it concerns the Crown Prince. Whether the result is good or bad, the Emperor's mind is unpredictable."

Liang Moyuan first explained the interests involved in this matter.

After all, the evidence presented all involved the scandals of the current crown prince, and she didn't want to harm Qi Fengxian.

Qi Fengxian's expression became stern, and his already serious facial features became even more serious.

"It is my honor that Madam Huo and Lord Huo are willing to trust me." Although he had guessed it roughly, he still felt a little nervous in his heart.

Liang Moyuan looked at Huo Jinjian, and the two exchanged glances.

"Master Qi, the person who assassinated this time was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liang Moyuan got straight to the point. When he said this, Qi Fengxian was stunned on the spot.

The mastermind behind the assassination that day was actually the prince?
