Faced with Su Ruojin's doubts, Xiao Yanchu took out a silver-inlaid animal tooth plaque from his pocket, with the character "骁" engraved on it.
The teeth are not small; they must have come from a large animal.
Su Ruojin took it and examined it carefully: "Tiger tooth? You tore it off?"
It must have been torn off by Xiao Yanchu during their fight.
Xiao Yanchu nodded: "It's a tiger tooth. In the entire Nine Provinces, only the Northern Li Kingdom uses tiger teeth as tokens, with the character 'Xiao' engraved on them. So there can only be one person, Fei Molong, the valiant king of the Northern Li Kingdom."
“I fought Femoron two years ago. When we faced him just now, I felt that his moves looked familiar. If it was Femoron, then everything makes sense.”
Upon hearing that the other party was from Bei Li, Su Ruojin roughly guessed the reason.
"So, Feimoron wants to kill me because of Princess Yaolan?"
Xiao Yanchu looked at Su Ruojin with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Ruojin, I've dragged you into this."
Su Ruojin shook her head: "It's none of your business."
The fact that she was willing to stand with Xiao Yanchu shows that there are some things she can't avoid no matter what.
"Fei Molong is Princess Yaolan's cousin. He has always been in love with Princess Yaolan and has proposed to the King of Beili many times, but has been rejected each time," Xiao Yanchu said, sharing what he knew.
Su Ruojin suddenly remembered a question: "When did Bei Li decide to send Princess Yaolan here for a political marriage?"
Xiao Yanchu was incredibly clever; upon hearing Su Ruojin's question, he immediately understood her meaning.
"In terms of time, it should have been before I was assassinated in Yanyang last time."
so......
The two exchanged a glance, neither speaking, but both knew the answer in their hearts.
Xiao Yanchu was assassinated in Yanyang, which was likely the work of Fei Molong.
"So he was ordered by Princess Yaolan to kill me this time?"
Su Ruojin simply couldn't understand the mindset of a simp. He killed Xiao Yanchu to eliminate his love rival, so why did he turn around and try to kill her after Yao Lan arrived in the capital?
Xiao Yanchu nodded: "That possibility cannot be ruled out. It's also possible that Fei Molong wanted to please Yao Lan and did it himself."
But regardless of the possibility, it can be confirmed that it was Femoron who did it.
“Femoron could have wanted to kill me, but why did his men target the Dowager Consort?” Su Ruojin asked, voicing her doubts.
She couldn't understand this at all.
If it was an accidental killing, these men in black didn't touch any of the other guests at the banquet; they went straight for the Empress Dowager, which was clearly intentional.
Xiao Yanchu shook his head; he couldn't understand it either.
Only Fermoron himself knows the answer.
Outside the Prince's mansion, Femoron was stabbed in the back, coughed up blood, and fell off the mansion's courtyard wall.
Fortunately, he was quite agile and managed to regain his balance after falling.
This was the second time he had been defeated by Xiao Yanchu.
Fei Molong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced back, and said fiercely, "Xiao Yanchu, you just wait!"
Under the cover of his men, Femoron fled into the alley.
In fact, Fei Molong's attack on Consort Jiang was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He secretly saw Consort Jiang give Yao Lan a hairpin with a hundred children, and he understood Consort Jiang's intention.
Although he was helping Yaolan get rid of Su Ruojin, he still didn't want Yaolan to marry Xiao Yanchu.
He knew that the Great Chu valued filial piety, and that children should not disobey their parents.
If Consort Jiang is killed, Xiao Yanchu will no longer have to obey her and marry Yaolan.
She was just an old woman; they killed her in the chaos.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruojin failed to kill him, and he even failed to kill an old lady.
Before Femoron could even feel regret, he hadn't run far when he heard hurried footsteps: "Quick, the assassin is nearby, search him!"
The man protecting Fei Moron's face changed: "Your Highness, it's the Imperial Guard."
