Chapter 61 I wish I could slap him to death!
"Let me go, I want to see my brother!"
Inside the room, Xiao Jinmian raised her chin and glanced at him arrogantly, as if telling him, my backer is here.
Extremely arrogant.
Chen Yaoxing curled the corners of his mouth slightly. He really liked her unconcealed tsundere personality.
"It just so happens that I also want to see the emperor."
"What? You're not going back?"
"Why should I go back?" Chen Yaoxing raised an eyebrow and looked at her speechlessly: "Saving the princess is such a great achievement, I don't even have time to accept the credit, why should I leave?"
Xiao Jinmian said coldly and arrogantly, "So you're staying here just to take credit?"
"What else? Can't you still pursue sex?" He tilted his head to glance at the pretty woman in front of him, whose face was stained with anger, and said with a tut, "You have no looks, no figure, there's nothing to pursue."
Xiao Jinmian was so angry that her heart ached and she almost vomited two ounces of blood. She wished she could slap him to death!
I am pretty good-looking, so why do I have nothing in this dog's mouth?
Front hall.
Emperor Xiao Jue and Prince of Jin Xiao Yelin, dressed in casual clothes, sat on chairs, while the chief guard and the chief secret guard of the princess's mansion knelt on the ground.
"Have you found out who sent the assassin to kill the imperial sister?"
He dared to attack the emperor's own sister under his feet. It shows how arrogant he is.
Xiao Jue's face was gloomy, and there was a terrifying chill in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this item was found on the killer's body. Apart from this, there was nothing else on the body. As for the killer's identity, it is still under investigation, so I dare not make any rash conclusions."
The head of the secret guards respectfully presented a black iron token. Xiao Jue reached out to take it. When his eyes touched the words on the token, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Yelin asked curiously, "Royal brother, where does this token come from?"
He also wanted to know who dared to attack the imperial sister and who simply did not take the royal family seriously.
Xiao Jue didn't say anything, but handed the token over with a serious face. Xiao Yelin took it and his expression changed slightly.
"Royal brother, I'm afraid there's something else going on."
"I also feel that this is a frame-up. This matter must be further investigated. Second brother, I am busy with government affairs and cannot spare time. I will leave this matter to you to investigate. You must find the real culprit behind this. Otherwise, the Yun Kingdom will never have peace in the future."
"Yes, I will take your orders. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Well, I naturally believe in my second brother's ability."
While the two were chatting, Xiao Jinmian came in hurriedly, followed by a young man in brocade clothes.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Prince Jin..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Jue raised his hand to interrupt him.
"No need to be polite. I should thank you for what happened today."
"I dare not. It is my honor to protect the princess."
Long before they came to the princess's mansion, they already knew that when Xiao Jinmian was assassinated, he happened to appear and rescue her, otherwise, Xiao Jinmian would have been in great danger.
Therefore, the Xiao brothers were not surprised to see him at the princess's mansion.
While speaking, Xiao Jue's eyes never left Xiao Jinmian's face.
From the moment she came in, he looked at her straight, looking at the conspicuous scar on her cheek, with undercurrents in his eyes.
Xiao Yelin was also very angry.
"The emperor's face was injured, the other party really deserves to die!"
Once he finds out the mastermind behind this, he will be cut into pieces.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he said it, Xiao Jinmian immediately started sobbing, clutching her handkerchief, crying very sadly.
"Oh, my royal brothers, you're finally here. I almost didn't get to see you today..."
"I'm sorry, it was my brother's negligence. I failed to protect Mianmian."
Xiao Jue strode up to Xiao Jinmian and touched her hair with heartache. Besides anger and murderous intent, there was also deep self-blame in his heart.
"No, don't blame me, I didn't know this would happen."
"Yaoxing, I think it's best to inform you of this matter in advance, so as to avoid hurting any relationship when I investigate later."
Xiao Yelin threw the black token to Chen Yaoxing. Chen Yaoxing reached out to catch it, lowered his head to take a look, and a terrible murderous look instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jin, this is a pure false accusation. I guarantee with my life that the assassination of the princess has absolutely nothing to do with my Shen family."
Xiao Jinmian was confused by these words and stared at them blankly.
What exactly does this mean?
What do you mean, the assassination of the princess has absolutely nothing to do with the Shen family?
Who said this matter has anything to do with the Shen family?
Why is he so eager to distance himself from the matter?
Xiao Jinmian belatedly looked at the black token in his hand.
"Oh, Yaoxing, don't worry. Since I have told you this, I believe it has nothing to do with the Shen family."
"However, the other party deliberately left evidence to frame the Shen family. Apart from that, there are no other important clues. The Shen family needs to prepare in advance to avoid being trapped in a trap set by others."
"Yao Xing should know that if someone has enough evidence and asks the emperor to make a judgment, even if it is false, it will cause great trouble."
Chen Yaoxing nodded, he understood these principles.
It seems that today's matter is far from as simple as he thought. He thought that the silly princess had offended someone and that was why they wanted to kill her. Now it seems that it is clearly killing two birds with one stone.
Even the Shen family was included in the plan.
Kill the silly princess and then frame the Shen family.
Haha, what a good trick.
Chen Yaoxing touched the three characters "Duke Shen" on the token with his fingers indifferently, his eyes dark and cruel.
"show me."
Xiao Jinmian walked up to Chen Yaoxing and asked for the token. Chen Yaoxing handed it to her without hesitation.
“Damn it, you assassinated me and framed Uncle Shen, my royal brother. In fact, I have a suspect in my mind, but I have no evidence.”
Without waiting for the two to respond, she continued, "I suspect someone from the Taiwei Mansion wants to kill me."
"Mianmian, the Grand Marshal is an important official in the court, you are not allowed to say such things carelessly."
In fact, Xiao Jinmian had no idea either, it was just a guess.
Although it was she and Chen Yaoxing who pushed Su Haitang into the lake last time, they had been in the dark and no one knew about it. Perhaps even Su Haitang herself didn't understand why she fell in.
However, looking at Su Haitang's arrogant attitude of daring to contradict her, as long as she is unhappy with her, she will probably identify her as the culprit even without evidence.
If Su Haitang insisted in front of Su Chongyuan that she was secretly taken away by her guards, there was no guarantee that Su Chongyuan would not treat her in the same way he had treated her.
She secretly pushed Su Haitang into the lake, and then Su Chongyuan secretly assassinated her.
However, that old fox was more ruthless and resourceful than her, and he directly framed the matter on Duke Ningguo. If the assassination was successful, everyone would be happy. Even if it failed, leaving some evidence to frame Duke Ningguo would be enough to provoke the emperor's brother and the Shen family.
