Prince of the North Qiang was also injured, so this matter was going to be troublesome.
Hu Qi’s eyes were wide open, the shock in his eyes was obvious. It was fine to injure others, but it was the prince of North Qiang that had a headache.
"Aunt, two people died, and one was injured. Did you hear that?" Hu Qi turned around to search for Hu Xiao’s figure. He had always thought that Hu Xiao was right beside him.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Hu Xiao was caught by someone dressed like a bodyguard, and she was dragged to the side. As her steps staggered, her shoulder was firmly held by someone.
Which bastard didn’t have eyes, daring to even touch her!
She raised her head and immediately saw Qin Shuo’s handsome face. Hu Xiao could not help but open his mouth in astonishment, and the one who pulled her was actually Qin Shuo.
Strange, why was he dressed like this?
"Qin Shuo, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Are you injured?" Then, Hu Xiao seemed to remember something and asked nervously.
Her gaze swept over Qin Shuo from top to bottom, and seeing that there were no obvious traces of blood on his body, Hu Xiao immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Qin Shuo, what are you dressed like this for?" Hu Xiao squinted his eyes, seeing that the matter was not simple. He disguised himself as a guard, was he trying to sneak out of the inn or was it ...
"Xiaoxiao, this matter is too complicated. I do not wish for you to interfere in this matter. Come, follow me back to the East Court. We will return now." Qin Shuo said urgently. He glanced at his surroundings from the corner of his eyes and said seriously.
Hu Xiao was already the queen of East Court, so this matter had nothing to do with Hu Xiao. Naturally, Qin Shuo did not wish for Hu Xiao to suffer any further.
After hearing it, Hu Xiao was stunned. Don’t interfere in this matter, return to the East Court with Qin Shuo? What kind of words were these, for her to abandon the trivial matter of South Yue?
She, Hu Xiao, was not a heartless person. At that moment, her face sank, and endured her anger: "What do you mean? Qin Shuo, do you know what you’re saying?"
But Qin Shuo’s mind was still clear, he grabbed Hu Xiao’s shoulders and continued: "Xiao-Xiao, come back with me, I’ll bring you out of here."
Seeing that, Hu Xiao pushed him away forcefully, and said angrily: "What do you think I am, the people who asked me to abandon South Yue, to return to East Court with you? Qin Shuo, I have seen through you. "
Hu Xiao clenched her teeth, her heart filled with anger. Such a thing had actually happened at a relay station, Qin Shuo was actually only thinking about himself, not finding the culprit, and not investigating the reason with her.
He was too selfish, he only had himself in his eyes. Hu Xiao was so angry that her face turned green, her man was actually a coward that was afraid of death.
Hearing her curse, Qin Shuo’s lips moved. She wanted to explain, but did not know how to speak. He only wanted to bring Hu Xiao away from this place, but Hu Xiao misunderstood him.
"Xiao-Xiao, that’s not what I meant, it’s ..." "I am ..." For the first time, Qin Shuo felt a vague feeling through his mouth. He took a step forward and reached out to grab Hu Xiao’s arm, but was violently flung away by Hu Xiao.
"So I misunderstood you?" Hu Xiao sneered, thinking, what else could you mean if you didn’t mean it like that? You are just afraid of death, not caring about the life and death of South Yue.
His Royal Brother was still his first uncle, how could he be so heartless?
No wonder the Royal Brother didn’t like him. Heh, the Royal Brother’s ability to judge others is indeed accurate.
At the moment, Hu Xiao was so angry that she thought Qin Shuo was bad for her, and completely forgot about how Qin Shuo treated her well.
The argument between the two attracted Hu Qi’s attention, causing him to quickly walk over.
"Aunt, what’s wrong?" Hu Qi asked carefully. With such a thing happening at the inn, his head hurt.
"It’s fine, don’t talk to these random people, let’s enter the palace." Hu Xiao pulled Hu Qi’s sleeves and walked out. Her heavy footsteps stepped on the floor and under Qin Shuo’s gaze, he walked out of the inn.
After getting on the carriage, Hu Xiao said anxiously: "Qi’er, we need to personally go to the palace to discuss this matter with the Emperor. After such a huge incident and being in your jurisdiction, I’m afraid you will be implicated."
Gradually, Hu Xiao calmed down. She looked out the window, gathering what had happened today together as she felt that there was a conspiracy behind all of this.
Prince of the North Qiang had a wild personality and strong martial arts, how could he be injured?
Why were Princess of the West Frontier and Qin Shuo alright at the same station?
Hu Xiao pursed her lips. She had too many questions in her heart, but Hu Qi was the same as her.
"Aunt, punishing nephew is a small matter. The main point is that this matter involves the relationship between the four nations, I’m afraid South Yue will become the target of the other three nations." Hu Qi said carefully. He didn’t care if he was punished, what he cared about was the safety of his country.
The two of them hastily entered the palace. Seeing King of the South Yue, Hu Qi explained everything to him, causing King of the South Yue to clap on the table in anger.
"Crown Prince, this is your fault." King of the South Yue suddenly stood up, his voice sounding more boorish than before.
Hu Qi was so frightened that he knelt down. He buried his head deep in the ground and said respectfully: "Royal Father, this son is willing to accept your punishment."
The shock on King of the South Yue’s face vanished, it was replaced with anger as he angrily said: "Punishment, punishment, of course punishment. Men!"
Just as he was about to call for someone to drag Hu Qi down and punish him with his staff, Hu Xiao heard him and turned pale. She immediately stood out and said: "Royal Brother, you cannot, this matter is not simple, we cannot judge from the surface that it is the crown prince’s loophole."
Hu Xiao took a deep breath, then looked at King of the South Yue and continued, "There were two deaths and one injury, the East Court side seemed to have predicted this, no one was injured, so I guessed that it was a conspiracy."
She suddenly remembered Qin Shuo’s attitude just now. He was in a hurry to take her away, could it be that Qin Shuo knew something in advance?
Hearing that, King of the South Yue squinted his eyes, staring straight at Hu Qi, he angrily rebuked, "Get down!"
Hu Qi knew that these words were not for him, but for the palace maid and the eunuchs in the room.
In an instant, only King of the South Yue, Hu Xiao and Hu Qi were left in the room. He left behind her sister and son to discuss this matter.
He did not deny Hu Xiao’s guess. Out of the three nations, only the people from East Court were not injured. Or could it be that the murderer had deliberately set up East Court?
"Royal sister, think about it, could East Court be the mastermind behind this matter?" King of the South Yue pursed his lips and asked.
His royal sister was the Queen of East Court, he felt that Hu Xiao understood the style of people of East Court better than him.
Hearing that, Hu Xiao shook her head, and said: "I can’t say, Royal Brother, we do not have any evidence, so it would not be good for us to suspect anyone."
She straightforwardly said all the thoughts in her heart, and didn’t have the slightest intention to side with East Court.
