Su Lijin glanced at him with a smile and raised an eyebrow. "Your Majesty, why don't you invite Dorgon and the others to watch the performance together? I'm sure they'll be satisfied."
She spoke the last few words slowly, with a lot of hints.
Almost in an instant, a smile of understanding appeared in Xiao Shengxing's black eyes.
He didn't say it out loud, but instead ordered outside, "Send Dorgon and his men into the palace."
When Dorgon entered the palace and heard that the emperor actually wanted him to watch the troupe's performance, his face turned grim. "Your Majesty, the death of my close attendant is still unresolved, and now you want us to watch the troupe's performance. Your Majesty, do you not take this matter to heart at all?"
He originally thought that he went to the palace because there was progress in the matter, but when he learned that this was not the case, he felt unhappy.
"How does the envoy know that this troupe's performance has nothing to do with the results of the investigation?" Xiao Shengxing asked.
Dorgon was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between this troupe's performance?"
He really couldn't understand how his companion's death could be related to the performance of some opera troupe.
At this time, Dorgon could no longer refuse, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he reluctantly agreed to call other Mongolians to watch the performance together.
Upon hearing that there was a theatrical performance in the palace, everyone in the harem was overjoyed and couldn't wait to grab a good seat.
All of a sudden, everyone came running over.
On the stage, the troupe looked serious and performed the act that Su Lijin had requested with great effort.
Just as the knife vanishing trick was being performed, a voice calling for a stop was heard from the audience.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Su Lijin stood up and said, "Master, please perform the scene I instructed you to do again."
On the stage, the troupe owner responded.
Immediately, two people stood facing each other. One of them, with a ferocious face, grabbed the other's hand and pushed it towards himself. Then, a knife suddenly flashed in the hand of the ferocious man, and the knife suddenly pierced into his chest.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"How did his knife appear? He clearly didn't have a knife in his hand just now."
Su Lijin pointed casually: "Didn't you see? He used the knife disappearing trick that he just performed."
"I see! I understand!"
Everyone suddenly realized!
Xiao Shengxing's black eyes were calm, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as his guess in his heart was completely confirmed.
"Everyone, what I just had the troupe perform was the scene when the Mongolian attendant died."
She looked at Dorgon and said, "The Mongolian attendant used this knife-disappearing technique, suddenly revealed the knife, and committed suicide by using Ye Shuyin's hand!"
"He staged his own suicide!"
Finally, she emphasized it loudly.
Everyone was shocked, their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Dorgon was stunned for a moment, then he understood that Su Lijin was saying that the attendant had staged and acted out the whole thing, which was a complete suicide!
He suppressed his anger and said, "This is absolutely impossible!"
Dorgon simply couldn't believe that the Mongolian attendant would stage a suicide scene himself!
The Mongolians around him also glared at Su Lijin angrily.
"He couldn't have committed suicide!"
"What do you mean by self-directed and self-acted? I think you are just self-directed and self-acted to cover up the truth!"
"That's right, we all saw it at the time. It was that guy surnamed Ye who killed him!"
The Mongols protested angrily, their emotions almost uncontrollable.
Su Lijin glanced at Xiao Shengxing, who met her gaze with understanding. Then, looking towards the Mongols causing trouble, he said in a deep voice, "Believe it or not, listen to what the Queen has to say first. I'm here. Do you think I'll shield the criminals and conceal the truth?"
As the king of a country, Xiao Shengxing's majestic aura is absolutely impossible to ignore.
The Mongols immediately quieted down, but there was obvious dissatisfaction and anger in their eyes. They just didn't dare to make loud noises for the time being.
The others looked at the changes on the field and looked at Su Lijin in confusion.
Although the previous scene can indeed explain where the knife came from, why did the Mongolian attendant commit suicide?
This is also the reason why Dorgon did not believe it.
Dorgon suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, you said he committed suicide, but why did he commit suicide?"
He looked at Su Lijin with disbelief in his eyes.
"Yes, didn't he come here to negotiate peace? Why would he be so depressed that he committed suicide in front of the palace?"
The others also raised their doubts.
Su Lijin watched as everyone was led in this direction. A look of satisfaction crossed her face as she said loudly, "I too have such doubts."
Xiao Shengxing looked up, seeing the confidence and calmness in Su Lijin's expression, and continued, "Has the Queen resolved her doubts now?"
He looked at Xiao Shengxing in surprise. Xiao Shengxing truly possessed the extraordinary wisdom of a king and was very able to see through people's hearts.
Su Lijin smiled and said, "Indeed, I have solved the mystery and know why the Mongolian attendant committed suicide."
Dorgon also cast his gaze over and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, do you know why he committed suicide?"
Everyone's faces were filled with surprise. Did Su Lijin find out something?
Glancing at everyone's expressions, Su Lijin confidently said, "This is what the Emperor has investigated. I'll speak for him here."
What she was about to show was really not appropriate considering her identity.
But it would be much better if it was done in the name of Xiao Shengxing.
She glanced at Xiao Shengxing with a guilty look.
Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing's black eyes turned slightly. After thinking for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he saw through Su Lijin's thoughts, but did not expose her.
"This secret letter was circulated within Mongolia."
Su Lijin pulled out the secret letter from Mongolia that had been given to Xiaotao from her sleeve, raised it, and said, "The secret letter instructed someone to secretly assassinate the envoy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, hesitation caused a storm of uproar. Everyone was in an uproar, staring at the secret letter in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
"What? The secret letter said someone was going to assassinate me?"
Dorgon was so shocked by the news that he lost his composure and rushed to Su Lijin.
But before he could rush to his side, Xiao Shengxing frowned slightly, and the secret guards had already blocked Dorgon's way.
Su Lijin turned her head to glance at Xiao Shengxing, and when she received his reassuring look, she inexplicably felt a sense of security in her heart.
Dorgon immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate and bowed in apology.
"Your Majesty, could you please let me take a look at that secret letter?"
His eyes were always fixed on the secret letter.
"It's okay for the envoy to take a look." Su Lijin handed it to him directly.
Anyway, the content above was the same as what she had just said, and taking a look at it would only make Dorgon believe her words more.
After reading the secret letter, Dorgon's expression changed drastically. Su Lijin clearly saw the shock and obvious anger in his eyes.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Dorgon had realized that this secret letter came from the eldest prince's faction.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I believe the attendant committed suicide."
Dorgon suddenly knelt down and said, "I never thought that the attendant would use his own death to stir up trouble. It's really abominable. I was almost led away. I am truly ashamed of Your Majesty."
