He believed Murong Xiao was truly kind to him, but there was also a certain curiosity in his heart. The first time Murong Xiao brought them silver needles and detoxifying herbs, he had already suspected that she was a prophet.
After that, he became suspicious again after hearing what she said about his master and the secret passage in Wanshou Temple.
Later, she blew a secret signal that only he and his most trusted subordinates knew about. Now, he felt that unless this woman had some special ability that could predict the future, or she was a god who had descended from heaven, it would be impossible for her to know this.
Now, he had been interrogating her here for so long, and as soon as she came, she told him where she came from. This made him unable to suppress his extreme desire to explore, and he asked this stupid question that made all his subordinates drop their jaws.
Looking at Qian Yeming's extremely inflated gossip desire, Murong Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"No, I was just guessing!"
Seeing that Murong Xiao's answer was very formal and didn't sound like a joke at all, Qian Yeming asked in confusion: "How did you guess that?"
"The princes are all as ferocious as wolves and tigers, especially the eldest prince, Qian Yeyao, who is always trying to kill you. He is your most open and greatest enemy in the palace.
If the assassination attempt succeeds today, he will be the easiest person to take your place. So if you are unfortunately killed, the mastermind behind this will be able to divert the blame and direct the conflict towards the Crown Prince.
Assassinating the crown prince is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of his clan. If the assassination is successful, even if it is impossible to exterminate all nine generations of the crown prince's clan, it will be enough to prevent him from ever having a chance to fight for the throne. The mastermind behind this can be said to have killed two birds with one stone."
"Even if I'm gone, and the eldest is gone, there's still the third and fifth. It won't be the fourth's turn anyway. Why are you so sure it's him?"
"Can the support of the Third and Fifth Brothers be as strong as the Marshal's Office? If you die, the Marshal's Office will definitely support the Fourth Brother. Who of the other two will be able to match him then?"
"That's just your guess."
"Yes, this is what I speculated after I was sure that he did it."
"Oh?" Qian Yeming raised an eyebrow. "Then how can you be sure that it was the Fourth Brother who did this?"
"Just look at the surprise in her eyes when she looked up and saw it was me when you called me just now."
Murong Xiao's words instantly made Qian Yeming understand. He understood.
"The other princes don't understand my relationship with the Marshal's Office, so they all think you and I are from the same camp. If this woman was sent by them, she wouldn't have shown such surprise when she saw you just now.
Only the fourth brother, because he married Murong Xue, it is very likely that Murong Xue has betrayed the Marshal's Mansion and knows that I have no relationship with the Marshal's Mansion. So when he saw that I trusted you so much, he was surprised.
And when you just said out loud who her master was, she was extremely shocked. This is clearly the result of someone speaking into her heart."
Murong smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
Finally, he took Qian Yeming's cold hand and said, "Let's go. There's still a long way to go. I'm sure you won't hand her over to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow. Why hold a night trial tonight? Your health is more important."
After hearing Murong Xiao's soft whisper, Qian Yeming's heart skipped a beat. Recently, he really began to doubt,
