Chapter 365 Traitor
Qin Qixuan frowned, not knowing how to refuse.
The second brother had already agreed for him. If he refused again at this moment, it would seem that he didn’t know what was good for him.
Zhao Shuoer was already dissatisfied with him. If he refused again at this time, he would probably anger her.
So Qin Qixuan could only accept it silently.
Zhao Shuoer looked at the second brother with joy, as if he thought he was very sensible.
"In this case, then it’s settled. When the arrangements for the banquet are made, I will send an invitation to the Qin Mansion. Brother Qixuan must come!"
Qin Xixi also looked at the second brother with satisfaction.
[Not bad, not bad, the second brother is really a good assist! But such an interesting thing, Xiao Xixi also wants to watch it! 】
Qin Qixuan subconsciously felt that it was not a good idea.
His trip to the Jinnan Palace this time would definitely be very dangerous, and he might even have a head-on conflict with Zhao Zemo.
What if Xiao Xixi was hurt by someone?
But Xiao Xixi had already grabbed Zhao Shuoer's collar.
Zhao Shuoer was in a good mood at this time because Qin Qixuan had already agreed to go to their family's banquet. In addition, it was Xiao Xixi who brought Zhao Shuoer here to find Qin Qixuan, so Zhao Shuoer's attitude towards Xiao Xixi was also very good.
Xiao Xixi looked at her with bright eyes at this time, wanting to ask her for an invitation letter, saying that she wanted to go too, so she naturally agreed.
Qin Qixuan could only sigh.
Zhao Shuo'er felt that the trip was worthwhile. Seeing that Qin Qixuan and the second brother seemed to be taking Qin Xixi back home, she was very straightforward and stopped pestering them. She just asked Qin Qixuan not to forget to attend the banquet, and then left in a good mood. It was not
until Zhao Shuo'er walked away that Qin Qixuan suppressed his anger and scolded the second brother.
"If we can get this invitation letter by ourselves, we should not ask for it from the Zhao family. What if it is misunderstood by others?"
The second brother didn't care at all, thinking that his eldest brother was thinking too much.
"But the fact is, we have no way to get the invitation letter for now, and Zhao Zemo already knows that our target is Miss Wen, so it is even more impossible for him to let us in easily. Right now, only Zhao Shuo'er's identity can allow you to enter safely, otherwise, wouldn't the guards of Jinnan Palace just take the salary and do nothing?"
Zhao Shuo'er gave Qin Qixuan the invitation letter. Even if Zhao Zemo didn't want to see Qin Qixuan in Jinnan Palace, he would give in because it was his sister's invitation.
Although Qin Qixuan didn't want to admit it, what the second brother said was undoubtedly right.
Get into Jinnan Palace first, as for what will happen in Jinnan Palace...
Qin Qixuan couldn't help but glance at Qin Xixi.
At that time, Qin Qixuan always felt that Xiao Xixi might still be needed for help.
When they just returned to the Qin Mansion, they saw Xiao Si hurriedly coming to their yard with an anxious look on his face.
Before he even stepped into the door, he called out "Big Brother".
"Big Brother, it's not good! There are so many rumors about the third brother outside! They say that the third brother is dissatisfied with the royal family, that the Qin family does not want to continue to be the royal merchant, and some even say that the Qin family intends to rebel. What to do!"
Xiao Si was very anxious in his heart. He did not expect that the third brother just complained a few words at home, and it had spread like this outside. No wonder his mother was so angry about the third brother's words and punished him so severely!
Qin Qixuan listened, but he was not as anxious as Xiao Si.
He just patted Xiao Si's shoulder.
"Don't worry, take it easy, things are not as bad as you think."
It was not until Qin Qixuan explained to Xiao Si where Qin Shu was that Xiao Si knew why Qin Qixuan didn't seem to panic at all, even though what people said outside was so outrageous.
It turned out that yesterday, after the third brother said these words, Qin Shu always felt uneasy in her heart.
You know, if it gets out, the Qin family may be implicated.
This is a big deal, Qin Shu dare not take the risk.
What's more, the third brother said it in public. Although they were all servants of the Qin family and had been beaten by Qin Shu before, it has been so long that those servants will inevitably have ulterior motives.
If they really spread it out, or if there is someone else's traitor in the mansion, wouldn't the Qin family be destroyed because of it?
Qin Shu has always been cautious. She dared not gamble, let alone gamble with the future of the Qin family and the lives of the whole family.
So the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. At dawn, Qin Shu dragged the third child to the palace to apologize.
The third child's injuries are still very serious. It is a good time to take him to the palace and let the emperor see their sincerity.
But I didn't expect that there would be a rumor that it was spread out. It was clearly said in the mansion...
"The person behind this is undoubtedly lifting a stone to drop on his own feet. He must not have thought that mother would be so cautious. When there was no rumor outside and His Majesty didn't know, he took the third child to apologize."
"Now it's good. Not only did they fail to beat us, but they also made a fuss and exposed the fact that they had planted a traitor in the mansion."
Qin Qixuan's eyes flashed with contemplation.
There were quite a few people serving in the front hall that day. It would be a big project to investigate them one by one.
The person behind the scenes might have felt fearless because of this.
"Your Majesty has already sent people to investigate this matter. The person who spreads rumors behind the scenes will definitely be exposed."
Qin Qixuan said so, and Xiao Si was relieved. He couldn't help but feel a little scared, thinking that the imperial power was really oppressive.
Xiao Xixi knew very well in her heart that she was afraid that An Yuesheng and others were making trouble again this time.
Xiao Xixi couldn't think of anyone else who could be so persistent and determined to bring them down.
But this time, An Yuesheng and Anyueya were too hasty.
Do you think this matter can bring down such a huge family as the Qin family? They were too naive, and my mother would not be so easy to bully.
As for the spy in the mansion...
Xiao Xixi had already made some guesses without even thinking about it.
This person was simply too obvious. Did he think that the Qin family would definitely be doomed this time, so he simply didn't hide his intentions?
Xiao Xixi made random guesses. She knew everything in her heart, but she had no evidence. However, sooner or later, the fox's tail would be exposed, and then Xixi would definitely catch it and let everyone see his true face.
Xiao Si was very worried about this matter at first, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at home. Now that he saw that the matter was not serious, he went to practice his martial arts with peace of mind.
Qin Qixuan seemed to be thinking about something all the time today. After Xiao Si left, he was distracted for a while until Xiao Xixi called him. Then he came back to his senses and continued to play with Xiao Xixi.
