Even if Situ Yao didn't want to answer it, he had to do it now.
He then agreed and bowed to the emperor, "Your son obeys your command."
At this time, Situ Zhao, who should have been "seriously injured" and lying in bed recuperating, was sitting in a rocking chair, eating grapes one bite at a time.
Cui Mixue peeled the grapes one by one, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Situ Zhao looked at Cui Mixue, then placed his hand on hers. "Mixue's plan is really brilliant. I want to see how Situ Yao will turn things around now!"
Cui Mixue had a smile on her lips. When she heard Situ Zhao's loud laughter, she also started laughing.
She had indeed heard of the assassination in her previous life.
But the person who was assassinated was not Situ Zhao, but Situ Yao.
When Situ Yao was injured, it was discovered that it was Situ Zhao's doing. Although he was protected by the emperor, Situ Zhao was still condemned by many ministers.
But now it’s different, everything has turned around, it was Situ Yao who did it.
The emperor had always disliked Situ Yao, so naturally the condemnation Situ Yao received should be even more severe than that received by Situ Zhao.
When Cui Mixue thought of this, the smile on the corner of her lips could no longer be concealed and it appeared.
Situ Yao, this is the consequence of not choosing me.
As she thought about this, she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips.
Her preemptive move caught him off guard. He must be racking his brains trying to figure out a solution now, right?
Now that the case of the missing girl has apparently begun to show some clues, Situ Yao will naturally not easily give up the clues in his hands and investigate the assassination of Situ Zhao.
If those human traffickers discovered anything, all the investigations done by him and the secret guards over the past few days would be in vain.
Situ Yao knew this, so he worked hard until late at night every day these days, hoping to find the real culprit on his own.
Su Mengyan felt very distressed when she saw Situ Yao like this.
Although Situ Yao would come to have dinner with him on time every day, he seemed very tired every day.
Su Mengyan saw it and felt very distressed.
In the evening, she specially brought the chicken soup she had cooked herself to Situ Yao's study, wanting him to relax.
The light in the study was still on. When Su Mengyan pushed the door open, she found that the person was already asleep.
She tiptoed in with the chicken soup and stood aside.
The candlelight illuminated Situ Yao's sleeping face, making his features look even softer.
Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao's sleeping face and couldn't bear to disturb him, so she sat down opposite him and looked at his sleeping face silently.
Because he was working hard day and night, his brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and he looked obviously very worried.
Su Mengyan gently smoothed the man's brows, then sighed.
This matter was obviously directed at Situ Yao.
It's just that the means were too clumsy, so Situ Yao had the opportunity to turn the situation around.
But whether or not to seize this opportunity...
Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao's sleeping face and sighed.
She put a coat on his back and sat aside thinking silently.
When she was reading a book before, she seemed to have read about the assassination case.
But something always seems a little wrong.
Su Mengyan lowered her head and thought, then seemed to suddenly realize something and stood up directly.
Situ Yao was awakened by Su Mengyan's movements, and then tilted his head to look in Su Mengyan's direction, "Why are you here?"
Because he had just woken up, Situ Yao's voice was still a little hoarse.
After hearing this, Su Mengyan hurriedly poured the tea and handed it to Situ Yao, but she was thinking about the assassination case.
The assassination case is not without trace.
Although things did not develop according to the plot in the book, Su Mengyan has already guessed about it.
The content of the book is "Situ Yao was assassinated, and the real murderer was finally found out, and it was Situ Zhao."
Now that Cui Mixue has sided with Situ Zhao, doesn't that mean that Cui Mixue must have also been involved in fueling the chaos?
Thinking of this, Su Mengyan already understood about 70% of it.
It must be that Cui Mixue knew what was going to happen and wanted to take the initiative and use the opportunity to warn Situ Yao, so she arranged the assassination in advance.
It's just that the target of the assassination has changed.
The target of the assassination directly became Situ Zhao.
Seeing Su Mengyan looking thoughtful, Situ Yao waved his hand in front of her eyes, "What's wrong with you? Are you sleepy?"
After being called a few times by Situ Yao, Su Mengyan turned around, glared at him, and said, "I think I understand what's going on."
After hearing what Su Mengyan said, Situ Yao also raised his head and raised his eyebrows, "What do you know?"
Although he asked this, Situ Yao obviously knew that Su Mengyan could not think of any useful solution, so he could only ask in a soothing way.
Su Mengyan heard Situ Yao's disbelief and pouted, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe I know what happened?"
Situ Yao glanced at Su Mengyan inconspicuously, then nodded.
Seeing this, Su Mengyan stared at him and then turned around.
"If you don't believe me, forget it. I'll take this chicken soup home and drink it myself!"
When Situ Yao woke up, he smelled the fragrance. He was tired after a night of work and was already a little hungry.
After hearing what Su Mengyan said, he hurriedly stopped the person.
"Since we've made chicken soup, why would we take it away? How about we drink it together?"
Su Mengyan glared at Situ Yao, but didn't really want to take the chicken soup away.
Then he put the chicken soup back on the table, took out an empty bowl, and filled it with soup for Situ Yao.
Situ Yao looked at Su Mengyan, then coughed lightly and said, "Tell me what you think."
Su Mengyan glanced at Situ Yao and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered that it was not appropriate for her to say more about these things, so she closed her mouth just as she was about to open it.
Seeing Su Mengyan opening and closing her mouth, Situ Yao curled the corners of his lips and asked, "Why, is there still something I can't listen to?"
Su Mengyan tilted her head to glance at him, then handed the chicken soup to Situ Yao. "It's not that I can't listen, it's just that I suddenly had some ideas, and when you interrupted me, I forgot everything."
Situ Yao listened to Su Mengyan's words and raised his eyebrows. "Oh? What's the clue? Tell me about it."
Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao, then thought for a moment before saying, "Since Situ Zhao was assassinated, according to his personality, he should have been playing the victim in front of His Majesty."
