Shen Qianxue nodded. "I know what you're trying to say. It's possible for someone to orchestrate this, to lure Su Jin into making a move and then inflict the same wound on Zizi. But all of this is too coincidental and too difficult. It would require a large number of experts to quickly conceal and retreat after it's done."
"Such an ingenious design, who has the capability to complete it? And why do they do it? What is their purpose?"
Su Jinxia benefited the most from this incident, and the imperial court also benefited, finding an opportunity to send troops. It seems that others did not gain anything.
The imperial court could never have imagined using Maizizi.
Only by starting from Su Jin's perspective will everything make more sense.
In order to capture Fan Ping, Su Jin lured Mai Zizi to Liuxiang Town, thereby diverting Shen Qianxue from the military camp.
As for her attack on Mai Zizi, it can be explained by the fact that Mai Zizi saw through her scheme, and the two had a dispute.
Although she used bloodletting to save Mai Zizi, it could also be understood as her not wanting to break ties with Shen Qianxue and putting on a show.
It makes perfect sense to pin all of this on Su Jin.
Aside from not matching the Su Jinxia that Shen Qianxue knew, she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
Does Shen Qianxue really understand Su Jinxia?
Shen Qianxue herself was also confused.
“If Zizi could wake up, everything would be clear, but she looks like this…” Shen Qianxue couldn’t bear to look at Mai Zizi’s sleeping appearance.
At this moment, he would much rather Maizizi jump up and chatter incessantly in his ear, annoying him to no end.
Lu Ming patted Shen Qianxue on the shoulder and comforted her, "I will definitely wake her up. However, didn't you check with the Mai family? I feel that this matter is very strange."
“We investigated,” Shen Qianxue said. “It was a servant named Sanqi who brought up the matter of Su Jinxia’s uprising in front of Maizizi. According to another servant’s recollection at the time, Sanqi’s words did indeed seem to be an attempt to entice Maizizi to go to Su Jinxia.”
"What about the Three Wonders?" Lu Ming pressed, since that's the case, we should investigate the Three Wonders.
“Sanqi was the servant sent by the Mai family to deliver the message. After Zizi fell into a coma, he told others that he was afraid of being implicated and punished, so he took the opportunity to run away. When the disciple chased after him, he rolled down the hillside and died.” As Shen Qianxue spoke, a dark glint flashed in her eyes. “This Sanqi is problematic. I have already sent people to investigate his background, but there has been no news yet.”
Only the dead can't speak, what a pity, otherwise Phoenix Pavilion's methods would have surely yielded some information.
Lu Ming was silent for a moment before asking, "Ah Jin, how is it?"
Lu Ming hadn't seen Su Jin for a long time.
If Mai Zizi wasn't injured by Su Jin, she must be in a lot of pain.
Upon hearing this question, Shen Qianxue's hand instantly clenched into a fist.
Su Jin bled a lot, but the soldier who handed her over said she looked perfectly fine.
Indeed, the Gu Mother's power is extraordinary; a minor injury should be no problem, and she has never cared about it.
Shen Qianxue regained her composure and asked, "Do you know that the blood of the Lord of Glazed Glass can save lives?"
"Huh?" Lu Ming was extremely surprised. "What do you mean?"
“When Zizi was found, she was already dying. It was only by feeding Zizi her own blood that Zizi’s life was saved,” Shen Qianxue said.
Lu Ming was stunned. "I don't know. I've been reading a lot of books about Gu recently, but I've never heard of such a thing. Perhaps the Glazed Gu is different."
The Glazed Gu is a top secret of the Glazed Society, and no information about it is ever revealed, so Lu Ming was also a bit confused.
Shen Qianxue suddenly remembered that Su Jinxia had told him about the origin of the Glazed Gu.
Therefore, Shen Qianxue told Lu Ming all the information about the withered and flourishing wood and the glass goblin.
“You should study this carefully. The Glass Gu is too strange. I always feel uneasy about it.”
"Okay, leave it to me."
Lu Ming agreed, his hand gently touching the jade at his waist, and he said softly, "Qianxue, if no conclusive evidence is found regarding Zizi's injury, will you still believe her?"
Shen Qianxue's gaze was heavy as she got up and walked to the window, where a pear blossom gently drifted in.
It's the season for flowers to bloom.
Shen Qianxue gently closed her eyes, her voice low and sorrowful.
"Does it matter? She keeps telling me to trust her, but has she ever trusted me?"
Su Hu and Han Qing are both people trusted by Su Jinxia, but he is not!
He was the one who knew all the mysteries and all the answers only after the fact…
——
Meanwhile, in the main tent of the Ji army camp, Zhou Ji had just learned the whole story.
Because of the imperial court's dispatch of troops, he has been extremely busy these past few days, so he hasn't been able to get information from various sources as quickly as he used to.
Upon hearing that Shen Qianxue hadn't managed to harm Su Jin and had even lost Fan Ping, Zhou Ji coughed repeatedly in anger.
Isn't this a case of shooting oneself in the foot?
Even more frightened when he heard that Mai Zizi had also been rescued by Su Jinxia, he broke out in a cold sweat!
"Mai Zizi isn't dead? Then what about Qian Xue..."
"Your Highness, rest assured, although Mai Zizi is not dead, she has been in a coma for half a month. I think the doctor means she won't wake up." Ji Feng quickly finished speaking.
Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief. If Mai Zizi had woken up, his plan to break up the relationship between Shen Qianxue and Su Jin would have completely failed.
“Mai Zizi absolutely cannot wake up. I’m worried about Lu Ming saving her. Send someone to get close to her and find an opportunity…” Zhou Ji made a throat-slitting gesture.
Only the dead can put people at ease.
"Yes!" Gale obeyed.
Zhou Ji, still shaken, pressed on, "Was the tail cleaned up?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, everything has been taken care of. They will never trace it back to us. In fact, they left a clue pointing to Su Jin. Even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain herself!"
Zhou Ji slowly exhaled, "That's good! Where's Nie Qingyi?"
"She was seriously injured and has been placed in a safe place to recuperate," Jifeng replied.
Zhou Ji nodded. This Nie Qingyi was indeed loyal. "Take good care of her; she still has a great use to her."
"yes!"
Zhou Ji was completely relieved; the situation wasn't too bad for him.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his gaze gradually darkening. "Shen Qianxue has disappointed me greatly. Mai Zizi was almost dead, and he still wouldn't lay a hand on Su Jin."
Zhou Ji's gaze grew increasingly obscure, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.
A few days later, Su Jinxia finally met Su Hu. He was injured, but he still rushed back to deliver the news.
When Su Hu arrived at the Mai residence, he discovered that the disciples of Phoenix Pavilion were also investigating the matter.
Phoenix Pavilion disciples could freely enter and leave the Mai residence to conduct their investigations openly, so Su Hu secretly followed them to track their progress.
The Phoenix Pavilion disciples quickly discovered that one of the three wonders' pigeons was a carrier pigeon.
How could an ordinary household servant have a carrier pigeon? This almost confirms that Sanqi was doing someone else's job and deliberately lured Maizizi to find Su Jinxia.
The people of Phoenix Pavilion marked the spot, released the carrier pigeon, and searched for its other destination, only to find that the pigeon flew southeast without looking back.
And Su Jinxia is in the southeast!
