"General Xiao, that was your assassin, not someone sent by General Shangguan. Do you understand?"

Xiao He nodded, "Your Majesty, I have understood everything clearly. Since Eunuch Lu has already caught the real culprit, I will not make any unreasonable demands."

"But why did the murderer suddenly commit suicide?"

"Suicide in public does raise a certain suspicion."

Liang Jing frowned and said in a cold voice: "General Xiao, what do you mean?"

"Do you think that Eunuch Lu just picked someone to take the blame?"

Xiao He quickly shook his head, "Your Majesty, that's not what I think. I just felt that this matter was suspicious, so I raised my doubts."

Xiao Mei quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, my brother meant to share your worries, but he just didn't say it in the right way."

Liang Jing snorted lightly and shook his sleeves, "I have naturally noticed this matter."

"This matter is definitely not that simple! There are two forces behind this, one is Marquis Wenxin, and the other is unknown."

"It's possible that the Xiongnu in the north want to disintegrate the internal relations of our Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, General Xiao has been guarding the northern border for several years."

"It could also be other ministers or marquises who want to sow discord between you and the general."

Xiao He nodded, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"It seems I am overthinking it."

"Alright, everyone from both families is here. I called you here today so that you can reconcile in front of me and not cause any more trouble."
