Ning Xihua was stunned by Su Bi's smile.
She was analyzing the case, and his smile made her feel so embarrassed!
Before she could complain, Su Bi stopped laughing and replied proudly, like a child who had pulled a successful prank, "You guessed it right."
Ning Xihua:!!!
Shit! Was it really Su Bi who did this??? This arrow??? !!!
Seeing Ning Xihua misunderstood, Su Bi quickly explained, "The assassination was true, but I was the one who placed the token."
Ning Xihua finally felt relieved. She almost got mad at her just now.
She reached out and touched her chest. "I'm so angry at you. It hurts so much."
When Su Bi heard her cry out in pain, he hurried to check her wound. After Ning Xihua repeatedly assured him that it didn't hurt, he finally gave up the idea of stripping her clothes to check the wound.
"But when did you release it?"
After she was shot, Su Bi seemed to have been by her side all the time. Later, the old man took over the scene, so how could he have had the time to place the token?
"When Huai Liu dealt with the archers in the dark, he took the opportunity to focus on the leading archer."
Ning Xihua exclaimed, "Great! It's really great!"
He was so nervous during the assassination, and when his life and death were unknown, he actually had the mind to let Huai Liu frame him. The boss was too cunning, she admired him.
"So, it is possible that Su Xu was responsible for the assassination?"
Su Bi smiled and said, "Yes and no."
The boss is making a fuss again.
Su Bi was in a good mood when she saw Ning Xihua staring at her with her almond-shaped eyes. He seemed to always like to tease her from time to time.
"You guessed correctly before. There is indeed a spy on my side."
It turned out that the guards who went to Ryukyu with Su Bi all knew that he had been poisoned, and these guards returned to the Bai family after returning to their country.
After Su Bi was assassinated, the Bai family found these guards and interrogated them, only to discover that one of the guards had revealed Su Bi's poisoning to the murderer because his family was kidnapped.
They investigated further and found that someone had seen Su Han's wet nurse near the place where the guard's family was kidnapped.
Someone also posted a high-value assassination reward notice on the black market not long ago, and the person who paid the reward deposit eventually entered Su Xu's house.
Of course, the whereabouts of these two people were unknown afterwards. Su Han's nanny claimed that she had returned to her hometown to retire, and the servant who paid the deposit was also said to have been sold.
"Don't worry, as long as these two are still alive, Huaichuan and his men can find them even if they dig deep into the ground."
Su Bi's tone was a little cold, "The person behind the scenes must pay the price for blocking the arrow you shot."
Ning Xihua touched the raised hairs on her arms and felt that the boss sounded like an ultimate villain when he said this.
Suddenly she thought of something and said in surprise, "Could they have found a killer organization?"
Both sides took action, but there was clearly only one group of people who came to assassinate that day.
Su Bi nodded, "Probably. After all, there are not many assassin organizations in the black market that dare to take this order."
Ning Xihua suddenly realized, so that's how it is.
According to the original book, Su Bi died not long after the Mid-Autumn Hunt. It is estimated that the poison on the arrow triggered the poison in Meng Lizui.
Since the assassination was planned by Su Xu and Su Han separately, the investigation into the assassination naturally came to nothing due to the obstruction of both parties.
Now Su Bi left the token from Su Xu's house at the scene, and the place became very lively.
Su Xu and Su Han should have left no trace at the scene.
For Su Xu, it was naturally seamless.
To Su Han, the crown prince was assassinated, and the biggest suspect was naturally the favored third prince. Leaving traces at the scene would be superfluous, and he would surely make a big fuss about it later.
But now, this pool of water has been made even more turbulent because of Su Bi.
Su Xu was directly suspected of being the murderer behind the scene. And because the token was left at the scene too deliberately, people naturally suspected that someone was framing him.
The crown prince was assassinated. If Su Xu was not the murderer but was framed, then the biggest beneficiary would naturally be the low-profile fifth prince.
As a result of the boss's actions, both Su Xu and Su Han became suspects. Both of them were exposed in public, like being roasted by fire.
The arrow she blocked saved Su Bi, which probably completely reversed the plot of the original book. From then on, while the prince was still alive, Su Xu and Su Han had to be cautious in everything they did.
Thinking of this, Ning Xihua was in a good mood.
The predetermined fate has been fanned by her butterfly wings and is moving in an unknown direction.
This meant that she was one step closer to an untimely death, and she wanted to throw flowers to celebrate.
"Why do I feel like you're in a good mood all of a sudden?"
The boss is too sensitive. He knew she was upset even before she smiled.
Ning Xihua replied, "Of course I am happy to know the real culprit behind the scenes, but you are so hated that those two people actually wanted to kill you at the same time."
It seemed that it was because of the last time when the Eastern Palace hosted a banquet for envoys from various countries on behalf of the emperor that made Su Xu and Su Han both feel a little uneasy.
Su Bi's health improved visibly, and Emperor Shao Yuan allowed him to serve as crown prince for the first time.
Yes, as long as Su Bi is alive, everything these two people do will be in vain.
Hearing the teasing in Ning Xihua's words, Su Bi just shook his head and bowed in a very cooperative manner: "So I still have to thank the princess. If it weren't for the princess's rescue, I'm afraid I would have died here."
Ning Xihua narrowed her eyes and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay."
She looked up at Su Bi's smiling face and thought to herself, since Su Bi is so used to her, he must actually like her a little bit, right?
Ning Xihua sighed secretly. Ever since she confirmed her feelings, she has become sentimental.
Girls are always worried.
The days of recuperation passed like flowing water, but Su Bi would still come to Yan Gui Ju every now and then to accompany her.
Sometimes he would bring her the latest popular storybooks, and sometimes he would bring her the cooking skills of the chef from Linhua Palace that she had longed for.
He came so often that her Yan Gui Ju was left with traces of him everywhere.
On the desk were his unfinished handwriting, next to the couch were his unfinished books, and last time he even found a hairband from under her pillow that he had forgotten at some point.
Facing Song Yi's eyes that said, "You don't need to explain, I understand everything," Ning Xihua really felt a little disappointed.
Before, she went to Linhua Palace to accompany Su Bi, but now it's the other way around. Su Bi would run to her Yan Guiju from time to time to ask about her well-being.
Ning Xihua was actually happy to have the company of a beauty, and he spent his days of recuperation in comfort.
That day, Ning Xihua did not meet Su Bi, but received a post from Su Bi, asking her to go to Yandang Lake in the suburbs of Beijing.
Ning Xihua stayed at home for more than a month to recover from her injuries. Even though she was a stay-at-home girl, she was a little bored. When the beauty invited her, she was happy to accept the invitation.
As soon as she walked out of the gate, she saw a rather ordinary carriage parked at the door. Ning Xihua recognized that this was the carriage that took her back home from Weiyuan.
Boss, are you here to pick her up in person?
She did not hesitate and directly opened the curtain. Sure enough, Su Bi was sitting in the car waiting for her.
"Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Ning Xihua leaned over to get into the car, and Su Bi naturally stretched out his hand to protect her, and only let go after she sat down.
"Huaichuan and his men followed behind secretly, and no one knew that this was the carriage of Linhua Palace."
Ning Xihua smiled. The feeling of being picked up and dropped off for a date personally was certainly different from going to a date alone.
"I wanted to say this last time. Your carriage is much better than the one I'm used to."
This carriage looked ordinary in appearance, but it was much more stable to drive than her own carriage, without any bumps at all.
Not to mention the exquisite interior decoration of the carriage. Even the set of white jade cups alone is not something that ordinary royal nobles can afford.
Su Bi looked at her looking around with a money-obsessed look, and she felt inexplicably happy.
"If you like it, this car is for you."
Ning Xihua smiled happily when she heard that. How could she not be happy to get a high-end carriage for free!
The boss is indeed rich and powerful!
She stared at Su Bi with sparkling eyes, and suddenly felt that the boss had become more handsome. What should she do?
