Duan Qingxi was indeed anxious, but Duan Sijin's words made sense, so in the end she could only return to her yard and wait.
In fact, Duan Qingxi is not the only one who is anxious, Duan Sijin is even more anxious than her!
Chan Xue was also in that carriage, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead. He couldn't calm down!
Fortunately, at night, Duan Yu and Xuan Er brought Chan Xue back. Although Chan Xue was slightly injured, he was not seriously injured.
Later, Xuan Yi also came back with Qiao Yun. Although they looked a little weak, they had no scars on their bodies.
And... Duan Qingxi felt something was wrong when he looked at Qiao Yun and Xuan Yi.
But Duan Qingxi was already very happy that they could come back alive. He quickly ordered people to prepare hot water for them to bathe and also prepared food for them. After they finished eating, he let them have a good rest.
Although there was no danger, the emperor was still very angry about Duan Qingxi being chased by a killer, and he immediately sent people to investigate!
Duan Sijin sat at the stone table and said to Duan Qingxi, "The Emperor is really angry about this. After all, your marriage to the Fifth Prince is imminent, and yet something like this happened. The person behind this really doesn't take the Emperor seriously. And I heard that the Imperial Preceptor is also very angry..."
"National Master?" Her cheap senior brother?
Duan Qingxi blinked, then asked, "Have you found out?"
Duan Sijin nodded. "We've found out. It was Princess Zhaoyang. She bribed assassins to harm you. She also learned about you early in the morning and knew you would go to the Holy Dragon Temple. That's how the assassins ambushed you on the way."
This was not the first time Yun Xinling had harmed Duan Qingxi, so Duan Sijin did not suspect anything.
And since the truth was found out by the emperor, it cannot be wrong.
But Duan Qingxi narrowed his eyes and said, "I think...it might not be Yun Xinling?"
It is indeed possible that Yun Xinling hired a killer to deal with her, but she listened to what Qiao Yun and Chan Xue said about what happened.
The carriage fell off the cliff on its own initiative. Although the killers found them later, they only besieged Xuan Yi, Xuan Er and Duan Yu, and did not harm Qiao Yun and Chan Xue in the carriage.
In other words, while Xuan Yi and Xuan Er were fighting with those killers, there was a third person who was trying to kill them.
The other party's target should also be Duan Qingxi, but that person didn't expect that Duan Qingxi was no longer in the carriage at that time.
After hearing Duan Qingxi's words, Duan Sijin asked in confusion, "You mean, someone is using someone else's knife to kill someone? Who could it be?"
Duan Qingxi didn't say anything, just looked at Duan Sijin.
Duan Sijin asked, "Could it be... you suspect it's Duan Shishi?"
After a pause, he continued, "Xi'er, this time I'm not biased towards Duan Shishi, but after the incident, she was the first person I suspected, and I sent people to watch her the whole time. However, she never left her room, and even the food and drinks were brought in by the maids. No one has ever been to her yard, so I think...it shouldn't be her."
Duan Qingxi was not surprised that Duan Sijin would say that. After all, Duan Shishi was now colluding with that evil creature.
She was just suspicious, because if it was that evil creature, why didn't it notice that she was not in the carriage?
But there is another possibility, that is, the evil creature is restricted by the laws of nature, so its magic power is reduced, so it can help Duan Shishi do some bad things, but it cannot be sure whether she is in the carriage.
