Chapter 551 He Knows Too Much
Xiao Kun felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, and his whole body froze.
Ever since he met Ji Yunshu, he had been wondering what had happened.
The conclusion reached was just as what was said in the mythological stories, that a lonely ghost had taken over Ji Yunshu's body.
But now, Zhebie told him that it was not the case at all.
Xiao Kun felt his head starting to hurt again.
He rubbed his forehead and said, "Do you have any other guesses about this matter?"
Zhebie felt that there was something wrong with his expression, and he seemed to have become even more terrifying.
The most important thing has been said, and there is nothing else that cannot be said.
He observed Xiao Kun's expression and suddenly had a bold guess in his mind. He said cautiously, "I never understood what opportunity Miss Ji had to summon a soul from another world and change everything. Now I seem to understand a little."
Xiao Kun felt his head hurting more and more: "What do you mean?"
Zhebie did not answer his question, but asked: "Is Miss Ji very important to the prince?"
Xiao Kun squinted at him and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Zhebie considered carefully and said, "If Miss Ji dies tragically, and you have a way to fulfill her dying wish, but this method will come at a great cost, are you willing to do it?"
Xiao Kun looked at Zhebie and suddenly understood what he meant: "You mean, her opportunity is me?"
Seeing his gloomy expression, which seemed to be about to explode, Zhebie hurriedly said with a flattering smile, "I'm just guessing, haha... guessing. Just treat it as nonsense."
Xiao Kun didn't realize he was talking nonsense. He asked again, "What is that huge price you mentioned?"
Zhebie glanced at the dark sky outside. There were no stars or moon tonight, and it was pitch black.
His expression suddenly grew grave. "Isn't this obvious? The prince was originally going to ascend the throne, and you were going to succeed him."
Now it is impossible for Prince Yong to succeed, and Xiao Kun has no chance of becoming emperor.
He really didn't expect that Xiao Kun and Ji Yunshu had such a deep connection.
"The throne?"
Xiao Kun murmured.
But then he understood that Ji Yunshu's arrival had indeed changed a lot.
He was well aware of his father's methods.
If the original plan had been followed, no one in the Ji family would have been able to escape, including the empress dowager in the palace.
And now, they are all fine.
And his mother.
It was because of Ji Yunshu's reminder that he was able to save his mother in time.
Imagine if his mother died in Prince Yong's Mansion to prevent him from being threatened by his father, and Ji Yunshu was killed by Zhao Heng after the Ji family died in Youzhou.
Then there is really nothing in this world worth his nostalgia.
She saved him in the beginning.
If there is a chance to make up for everything, he will do it at all costs.
This is what he would do.
At this moment, he saw a closed loop.
Because of his father's ambition, Ji Yunshu was killed, so he finally got the throne.
After Ji Yunshu's death, he was completely desperate and used the throne to exchange for a chance to fulfill her wish.
So everything became what it is now.
Xiao Kun seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked down at Zhebie and said, "You haven't told me yet, what are you doing here?"
Zhebie: “…”
He might have dared to say it when he first came in. After all, Xiao Kun and the Ji family were enemies no matter how you looked at them, and he had never heard of any relationship between him and Ji Yunshu.
But now it seems that there is obviously something unknown between the two.
Thinking back to when they were in southern Xinjiang, Yin Shu, who was beside Xiao Kun, had always protected Ji Yunshu.
He cursed himself for being so careless that he didn't even think twice about what was happening right in front of him.
The person who could make Xiao Kun exchange the throne for such an opportunity was definitely not someone he could touch.
His eyes moved quickly and he soon figured out a lot of things. He knew that it was not wise to lie in front of Xiao Kun.
He then spoke truthfully, "Originally, I didn't know the reason, but I did covet Miss Ji's body, which could accommodate souls from another world. But now I know that it was Miss Ji's wish, and the price was beyond my ability to pay. Don't worry, I won't try to covet her again."
After figuring everything out, he suddenly became clear-headed and felt that he had been blinded by greed before.
He had clearly known for a long time that Ji Yunshu was heavily involved and that the change of dynasties was crucial.
Such a person cannot be touched casually.
After talking for a while, seeing that Xiao Kun still had no reaction, he smiled flatteringly again and said, "Sir, I have told you everything you asked, even revealing the truth to the world. I have absolutely nothing to hide. Can you please let me go?"
Xiao Kun squatted down, looked him over, and asked, "Are you sure you have nothing to hide?"
His eyes were calm but held an inexplicable pressure. Zhebie nodded repeatedly: "Sure, I'll tell you everything I know."
Xiao Kun's lips curled slightly: "That's good."
After he finished speaking, before Zhebie could breathe a sigh of relief, the smile on his face froze.
Xiao Kun quickly and accurately thrust a dagger straight into his throat.
He pulled out the dagger again.
A stream of blood spurted out, splashing onto Xiao Kun's face, body, and hands...
He stood there like a Shura covered in blood, looking at Zhebie's wide-open eyes and the look of fear in them.
He stood up and called out, "Come in."
Yin Shu, who was guarding outside, pushed open the door and walked in. Although he had expected it, he was still stunned when he saw the blood on the ground.
Xiao Kun is not a murderer. He rarely does things himself, let alone make things so bloody.
It was obviously intentional.
As expected, he would lose his composure whenever something happened to Ji Yunshu.
Yin Shu felt a headache coming on: "What's going on?"
Xiao Kun slowly took off his bloodstained coat, threw it into the pool of blood on the ground, and then went to the basin to wash his hands and face.
After wiping the water off his face with a towel, he said slowly, "He knows too much."
Yin Shu: "So you're trying to silence someone?"
Xiao Kun said: "Believe me, his death will be better for everyone."
Those who know too much never live long.
Xiao Kun didn't know how many cards Prince Yong had in his hand, but he knew that even if Prince Yong was really defeated this time, he would not die just like that.
If his good father knew that he was the root cause of his failure, he would never let him go.
However, Yin Shu didn't think that Zhebie's death would do him any good. Instead, he would have a lot of troubles to deal with.
Zhebie was a popular figure in front of the prince, and if he died like this, the blame might be traced back to him.
He also had to destroy the body.
But when he saw Xiao Kun's expression, he was extremely sensitive and felt that now was not a good time to ask questions, so he decisively went to do the job.
The room became quiet again, but Xiao Kun suddenly felt that this silence was a little unbearable.
What Zhebie just said kept repeating in my mind.
Although it is just a guess, it is indeed the guess closest to the truth.
But he still wanted to verify it.
