Chapter 230 What Can You Do to Me
Looking at the backs of the people leaving, He Guang gritted his teeth.
It was not until the figures of the few people disappeared that Lord Peng spoke, his tone full of doubt.
"He Guang, tell me the truth, why are you targeting the Xiao family?"
He Guang bowed.
"Sir, I am just following..."
Lord Peng frowned and interrupted what he was about to say.
"Don't tell me about the principle of handling cases according to the law. I'm not blind. I can tell whether you are targeting me or not."
He Guang continued to speak after hearing this.
"I am only acting in accordance with the law."
Xiao Fuguang brought Xiao Fusu out of the Dali Temple.
"An Ning, thank you for accompanying Fu Shu these past few days. The Prince Regent's Mansion cannot be without anyone. You should go back soon. I have to take Fu Shu back to the Xiao family to look for clues."
An Ning nodded when she heard that.
"Okay, An Ning, go back to the Regent's Palace. Goodbye, sister-in-law."
Xiao Fuguang felt distressed when he saw Xiao Fusu sitting cautiously in the carriage, and reached out to hold her hand.
"Fushu, I'm sorry I'm back late."
Xiao Fushu leaned on her shoulder.
"It's not too late, sister came back just in time."
Then he looked up at Xiao Fuguang.
"Sister, I asked my second uncle and second aunt. They came to the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion to make trouble. Their purpose was to test whether you were there. Xiao Funian was captured, and they were threatened to cause trouble for you."
"Second Aunt said that when she took Xiao Funian away, there was a special totem on his wrist. I have asked Feng Ling to investigate. However, I didn't expect that Second Uncle and Second Aunt would die in the Xiao family."
Xiao Fuguang felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard this.
"A chain of tricks."
"No, if the other party's target is me, it may not just be you."
Xiao family.
The fifth prince came to the Xiao family again after leaving the court.
After personally examining the bodies of Xiao Yiming and his wife, he couldn't help but feel troubled when he saw the wounds on their fingers.
As of now, Xiao Yiming and his wife were taken to the Xiao family and tortured. They used torture on their elder, and now the elder is dead. It will be difficult to help Shu escape the crime.
A guard came quickly.
"Your Highness, the Third Miss is back."
The fifth prince was overjoyed upon hearing this and walked out quickly.
"She's back? Dali Temple released her?"
Once you arrive at the outer courtyard.
Then Xiao Fuguang walked in supporting Xiao Fusu.
I suddenly understood that it was the Queen's aunt who came back.
"Auntie Huang."
Xiao Fuguang nodded slightly.
"Why is the Fifth Prince here?"
The fifth prince looked at Xiao Fushu and bowed.
"I'll see if the Xiao family can find some useful clues."
Xiao Fuguang nodded.
"Since you are here, please accompany Shu'er back to the room to rest. This princess will go to see the body."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince walked over and supported Xiao Fushu.
"Fushu, how are you? Are you okay?"
Xiao Fushu forced a smile.
"Didn't you send someone to help me with my injuries? They brought me food and supplies, and Princess An Ning also went to accompany me. I'm sure I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince looked at her and spoke.
"Is your previous injury still painful? I'll apply some medicine to you later and then have someone bring you something to eat."
If it weren't for the Fifth Prince this time, he might not have lived to see his sister return. Xiao Fusu looked at the Fifth Prince with gratitude in his eyes.
"Your Highness, thank you."
The fifth prince supported her and spoke.
"You are my future wife. It is my duty to protect you. Don't thank me."
Xiao Fuguang came to the yard where Xiao Yiming and his wife lived.
The two were put into a coffin by the fifth prince.
Xiao Fuguang looked at the two of them.
He then took out a piece of talisman paper, lit it, and slowly passed it in front of his eyes before closing his eyes.
I saw what happened before Xiao Yiming and his wife died.
The two had already rested, but two men in black climbed in through the window, knocked Xiao Yiming and his wife unconscious with smoke, and then strangled them to death.
The black man was wearing a black mask, with only his two eyes exposed, and he couldn't see anything.
At this time, the talisman paper burned out and the scene seen disappeared.
This was premeditated murder, and now it's being framed.
Looking at the marks on Xiao Yiming and his wife's hands, Xiao Fuguang's eyes showed a complicated emotion.
The little sister who followed me around and called me sister all day long has grown up.
Regent's Palace.
As soon as An Ning came back, she knew that Concubine Hui had returned. She couldn't help but wonder why her mother came to the palace again when she was fine, and hurried to Concubine Hui's yard.
"Mother."
Concubine Hui spoke with a smile on her face.
"An Ning is back."
An Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Mother, why are you back? If you missed me, just send someone to tell me."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui spoke with an unhappy look on her face.
"Can't this concubine come to see her daughter?"
Princess An Ning sighed after hearing this.
"Mother, An Ning didn't mean that. It's just that you and my brother... Alas, thankfully my brother isn't at home right now. If he were, he'd probably be angry. I'll take mother back to the house tomorrow."
After hearing this, Concubine Hui spoke.
"How can living in that house be as comfortable as living in the palace?"
"An Ning, it's been so long since the incident happened. It's time for Jing'er to calm down. Even if it's just for the sake of our past relationship, let mother come back and live with us."
She knew her brother's temper very well. Once he made a decision, he would never change it. An Ning looked at Concubine Hui and spoke with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Mother, I decorated the house according to your preferences. Why are you doing this?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui looked at her and spoke.
"But mother lives there all alone. An Ning was raised by mother bit by bit. How could you be so cruel? It's bad enough that your brother dislikes mother because of a woman, but are you going to abandon mother too?"
An Ning walked up helplessly and sat beside her, reaching out to hold Concubine Hui's hand.
"Mother, I have always remembered your kindness to An Ning, but this is the Prince Regent's Palace, not the Princess's Palace. If you truly love An Ning, please don't embarrass her."
"After a few days, An Ning can stay with mother at the house for a while, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui sighed, looking aggrieved.
"After all, I'm old and people dislike me."
Princess An Ning frowned when she heard such words again, and then looked around. There were maids who usually served Concubine Hui in the room, but He Nanyou was not there.
"Mother, where is He Nanyou? Isn't she always by your side, serving you?"
After hearing this, Concubine Hui spoke.
"Oh, she stayed with me here for one day and then went back, saying she didn't want to cause me any trouble."
"Alas, Nanyou is such a sensible child, why doesn't Jing'er like her?"
