Xia Xuejian came to the Prince Xiang's mansion. In fact, she was reluctant to set foot here now because she thought the Prince Xiang was a lunatic and didn't want to cooperate with him anymore.
But she couldn't get rid of him at all now, and she was in a dilemma.
As soon as she entered the room, before she could even say a word, King Xiang grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against the wall.
"What are you doing?" She managed to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty.
The strength in King Xiang's hands did not decrease but increased: "Did you kill my seventh sister?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xuejian's originally angry expression immediately changed color, and even her eyes were filled with fear. When King Xiang saw her like this, he knew what was going on.
He dragged her to the ground, drew out his sword, and put it against her throat: "Seventh sister is my sister, how dare you kill her?"
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Xia Xue no longer planned to hide it: "I didn't intend to kill her. She was the one who disobeyed me."
Upon hearing this, King Xiang turned his wrist and the sword instantly cut her skin. Blood flowed down her neck and stained a large area of her clothes red. "Shut up, if you continue to speak rudely, I will kill you."
Xia Xuejian was no longer afraid at this moment, and looked directly into King Xiang's eyes: "Your Highness, I did this half for you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" King Xiang narrowed his eyes, and he looked very aggressive. Even from a distance, people could smell a hint of danger from him.
"You killed my sister for me?" This was probably the funniest joke he had heard in the past twenty years.
But Xia Xuejian didn't think it was funny. Instead, she asked seriously, "Your Highness, do you know what happened last night?"
King Xiang looked very impatient: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't challenge my patience."
"Last night, the Seventh Princess saw people from your Xiangwang Mansion plotting to blow up the private gun room."
As soon as the words came out, the hand holding the sword suddenly paused: "So?"
"Your people didn't find her, it was me. She wanted to leave when she saw me, so I captured her and told her not to tell anyone about it. Otherwise you would die miserably. But guess what the Seventh Princess said?" Xia Xuejian said with a hint of amusement on her lips.
King Xiang naturally knew that it would not be a good thing, but he still gritted his teeth and asked her: "What did she say?"
Xia Xuejian gently pushed away King Xiang's sword, stood up from the ground, and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, she sat down at the table and poured herself a cup of tea.
"She said she has no brother, only a younger brother named Nangong Muyun. You, Your Highness Prince Xiang... are not her brother."
King Xiang listened to Xia Xuejian's mocking tone, his hands trembled violently, a flash of desolation passed through his eyes, and soon returned to his cold appearance: "Seventh sister is much younger than me. When she was very young, I followed the army to the south. It is normal that she is not close to me."
Xia Xuejian listened to the self-deceiving words of the King of Xiang, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Your Highness the King of Xiang is so open-minded, it's really gratifying."
"Then you killed her?" King Xiang brought the subject back.
"I just wanted to capture her and hand her over to His Royal Highness Prince Xiang for punishment, but she refused to obey and insisted on running away, so I... accidentally strangled her to death." Xia Xuejian really didn't mean to do that, the situation was urgent at the time. If they let the Seventh Princess go, they would all die.
She just wanted to keep the princess temporarily and persuade her with kind words in the future. But she didn't expect that the seventh princess would rather die than surrender. Not only did she not go with her, she also made a lot of noise and called for help.
She had no choice but to make the Seventh Princess shut up forever.
Even if the Seventh Princess really promised her not to tell anyone, she would not let the Seventh Princess leave. Because in this world, only the dead will not keep secrets forever.
"So now... Your Highness Prince Xiang still wants to kill me?" Xia Xuejian raised her eyebrows and asked him.
King Xiang threw down the sword in his hand and said: "I was right about you. You are indeed a person who will do anything to achieve your goals."
"Must-have." Xia Xuejian replied.
"This king will not kill you."
Hearing what King Xiang said, Xia Xuejian stood up and prepared to leave. But just as she reached the door, King Xiang said, "But don't be too happy too soon. Ye Qingwan has already found out about you. Just wish yourself the best."
Ye Qingwan? !
Xia Xuejian was stunned. How could she find out about her so quickly?
"You don't have to look at me like that. I didn't tell her. She found it out on her own." King Xiang said, pointing to his forehead and said, "She is much smarter than you."
If it weren’t for the fact that you are the heroine, I would have killed you long ago and helped Ye Qingwan take the throne.
Section 92
Xia Xue rolled her eyes at him and quickly left Prince Xiang's mansion.
It was a little hard for her to believe that Ye Qingwan, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, couldn't even play pitch pot. When she got off the boat to get a pot, she capsized into the lake with the boat. How could she be considered smart?
But just in case, she still had someone secretly monitor Ye Qingwan's every move. She could be in trouble, but she couldn't be in the hands of Ye Qingwan, a young lady who knew nothing.
Meanwhile, after Ye Qingwan had investigated the cause of the seventh princess' death, she returned to the Prime Minister's Residence with Ning Shaoqing. As a result, she met Nangong Muyun who had been waiting for her at the gate.
Counting the days, it's time for him to have bad luck.
To be honest, although she didn't like the big idiot Prince Xiang, he was like a god in this novel, and he turned the capital upside down as soon as he returned.
Even the shrewd old tutor fell into his trap. It was only because her father was more skilled that he could suppress Nangong Fusang for the time being, otherwise he would be so arrogant.
"Wanwan, are you okay?" As soon as Nangong Muyun saw her, he immediately walked over and grabbed her to look at her.
Ye Qingwan quickly pushed him away: "I'm fine, but you think I'm not well. This will help you and your sister Xuejian."
After saying that, she snorted proudly, shook him off and prepared to go home.
Nangong Muyun grabbed her wrist and said, "I have traveled for three days and three nights, can't you just give me a good face?"
"Your Highness, if you want to save face, please go to Xia's residence. You have come to the wrong place."
Nangong Muyun pressed his temples, feeling a severe headache: "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you now. I'll be relieved if you're okay."
"Don't worry about my seventh sister's matter. I will investigate it thoroughly and clear your name."
Don't investigate, brother. If you find out that it was your sister Xuejian who did it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it and will hang yourself.
"No, I can't bear it." After saying that, she quickly trotted back home.
He complained while running.
[Run quickly, Yunyun is in such a pity. If I don’t run now, I’m afraid my uncontrollable maternal love will overflow. ]
[Yunyun, I'm doing this for your own good. Just listen to me and don't get involved. The truth is too cruel, I'm afraid you can't bear it.]
[Your beloved sister Xuejian killed the sister who was closest to you since childhood. No one can bear this.
【I understand! 】
[Alas, Yunyun is truly the most miserable male protagonist in history. ]
【How pitiful. 】
