After looking at Xiao Heng, Su Yao withdrew his gaze and looked at the teacup in his hand. After a moment, he asked, "How do you know everything? Could it be that Liu Jie wants to tell you everything I do?"
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Xiao Heng. On the contrary, no matter Xiao Heng’s ability or Xiao Heng’s position, it doesn’t matter to her at all. They are allies.
But she really doesn't like others interfering in her plans.
I don't like someone prying into my inner thoughts, no matter who that person is.
Xiao Heng glanced at her and laughed: "What are you thinking about? I don't know what you are going to do, and I don't know that you have already guessed that there is something wrong with Qi Yunxi and the others' backgrounds."
His eyes were bright and clear, like the stars in the sky or the pebbles in the water. They were clean and clear. The defense line that Su Yao had just built in her heart loosened slightly. She said, "Then how did you find this place and arrange for someone to bring Aunt Shen here to find Qi?"
This plan was planned by her alone.
Including the dispute between Xu Yuanbo and Deng Jidong today, it was also within her calculations - Deng Jidong did rely on Xu Yuanbo for money and future, but the autumn examination was approaching, the coursework in the Imperial College was getting heavier, and the academicians and others were checking these things more and more strictly. She just let someone leak some news to Deng Jidong, and Deng Jidong thought about breaking up with Xu Yuanbo.
But Xu Yuanbo has a bad temper and a strong possessiveness.
There have always been people who he dumped aside after he got tired of them, but no one has ever actively tried to run away from him.
How could he agree to that
Under the agitated emotions, it was natural for them to have disputes. Recently, with Su Yao's arrangement, the two of them had many conflicts and were increasingly at odds. Today, Xu Yuanbo even forcibly abducted Deng Jidong from his home, without caring that Deng Jidong's old-fashioned grandfather was also at home.
Deng Jidong can indeed do a lot of things for money, but everyone knows that Deng Jidong is filial.
The quarrel between the two got out of control, and in a fit of excitement, Deng Jidong took a dagger and injured Xu Yuanbo.
How could Xu Yuanbo bear it? He threatened Deng Jidong on the spot, saying that he would ruin his future and prevent him from participating in the imperial examination.
Under numerous contradictions, the scene just now happened.
But she just wanted Gao Ping to intervene in this matter, and then naturally uncover the case of the body in Shenjia Village.
Xiao Heng brought Aunt Shen here, which was the finishing touch, but...
"I was investigating the Eleventh Princess and found Qi Yunxi. Coincidentally, Chen Dong discovered that she had sent people to set fire to Aunt Shen's house." Seeing that her cup was empty, Xiao Heng naturally picked up the kettle and poured her another cup of tea. He whispered, "That's how it was. Then I learned about what happened in Shenjia Village. As long as I could make things difficult for Qi Yunxi, I would be happy to do it. I also wanted to see what she was up to, so I followed her to see what was going on."
Su Yao felt a little ashamed. She thought that Xiao Heng had deliberately placed Liu Jie by her side, and no matter what happened to her, Liu Jie would report to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.
Her face was stern before, and perhaps she herself did not realize that she was like a defensive hedgehog with all the quills standing up. Now her eyes were filled with apology, like a kitten that pounced on its owner's beloved bottle, with pity in her round eyes.
It makes it impossible for people to truly feel angry.
He looked at Su Yao leisurely: "Otherwise, what do you think I am here for?"
Su Yao found it difficult to answer. She coughed and lowered her eyes, not daring to look Xiao Heng in the eye. She felt a little annoyed and guilty, so she lowered her voice and whispered, "I thought you knew about me through Liu Jie, so..."
So in order to gain the initiative to form an alliance with the Yang family, he deliberately intervened.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this in itself, but if it is really the case, Su Yao would feel really uncomfortable.
She was so nervous that her ears turned red. She felt that she was too vigilant and thought that everyone was a bad person. Even Xiao Heng became suspicious of her.
The little girl blushed, her eyes dodging left and right, like a pitiful puppy. Xiao Heng stopped teasing her, cleared his throat and got back to business: "But then again, did I happen to help you?"
Talking about business, Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded, telling Xiao Heng everything about Shenjia Village and Zhang Gu.
She said bluntly: "Since the incident at Juhai Manor, I felt that something was wrong, especially Qi Yunxi. She was involved with Princess Fenyang, which was already very suspicious. I asked my grandmother and my great-grandmother about Qi Yunxi, and I felt that her life experience and origins might not be that simple..."
She omitted the fact that she had actually combined certain factors from her previous life and returned to the main topic: "It turns out that the life stories of the Qi family's aunt and nephew are really mysterious - Aunt Shen claimed that her surname was not Qi, but Li..."
Xiao Heng immediately understood what Su Yao meant: "So, if her last name is really Li, the one who died..."
Then the Qi family in front of us is not the Qi family, but the Li family.
And since her surname is Li, it goes without saying that Qi Yunxi's surname is not Qi either.
None of them have the surname Qi, so the body buried under the tree in Shenjia Village is the real Qi.
Qi had died long ago.
The question now is not whether Qi was really murdered.
The question is, why did these two people pretend to be someone else's surname? Why did they claim to be surnamed Qi
Was it really a coincidence that Qi Yunxi saved the queen
It just so happened that she saved the empress and was a member of a branch of the Prince of Zhennan, so it would be unreasonable for Emperor Yuanfeng and Empress Hu not to bring her into the palace.
Xiao Heng tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes were full of confidence: "Yes, what a coincidence, Lord Xu has always been indifferent to my father, the Chengguo Mansion and the Fenyang Palace have been targeting me for the past two years, and Qi Yunxi, she saved the Queen Mother, but as your grandmother said, she tried to seduce the Emperor..."
When you think about it this way, the most unlikely guess may be true.
Qi Yunxi and the others' backgrounds were problematic in themselves, and they tried very hard to get close to Queen Hu.
There must be some kind of deal between Qi Yunxi and the Xu family, and the two parties have reached an alliance of interests.
"Li..." Xiao Heng and Su Yao looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement, and they spoke almost in unison: "Depose Empress Li!"
Empress Li who deposed the emperor, and the Li family that once held utmost power over the world!
Besides them, which other Li family members need to hide their identities, kill people to silence them, and steal other people's identities at the same time? !
