Xia Chu was really shocked by Xiao Mubai's words, like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and his five senses were scattered.
Only now did he know what a bold idea is...
Xiao Mubai, he really dares to think!
Xia Chu had mixed feelings and complex thoughts in his mind. Even if he was accused of poisoning by the emperor tonight and was accused of conspiring with Xiao Zimu to usurp the throne, he had never felt so absurd as he did now.
But these words came out of Xiao Mubai's mouth. Even if they were rumors, they seemed to be somewhat credible.
Xia Chu's instinctive emotion didn't want to believe it, but his reason told him that this was extremely likely to be true.
He grabbed Xiao Mubai's wrist eagerly: "What do you mean? How is it possible? Isn't her mother from the Miao Family Incense Shop? Isn't it just a small incense shop? How did she become a member of the royal family of the Western Regions? What's more, Han Sa also told me that because the Empress of the Western Regions died suddenly, the imperial power was transferred to the then prince Yue Hua. Mu Bai! Are you lying to me? "
Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and waited until her mood gradually stabilized before speaking: "You also asked Bingwen to check. The woman is from Jicheng. Jicheng is the border place between the Western Region and Xiao Kingdom. Have you forgotten? , Yue Fengwan once told you that a woman brought poison out of the Western Regions... "
Xia Chu suddenly broke away from his arms. She looked at Xiao Mubai. His serious expression seemed to turn into thunder, which destroyed her body and soul.
"You? Are you saying that the woman who escaped is the dead empress?" Xia Chu swallowed his saliva several times before he could finish the simple question.
God, what kind of brain does Xiao Mubai have...
"Yes, the news that Zhong Guo came back from that year said that the empress died suddenly, but she didn't know how she died. What if she didn't die? What if she escaped? Thinking about it this way, is it Yue Feng who didn't care about it? There is a reasonable explanation for Qianli's behavior of coming to Xiao Country in person." Xiao Mubai finally put together the bold idea in his mind and said it out.
Although it is just speculation, it perfectly explains all the previous mysteries.
That's why Yue Fengwan became interested in her because of the original sachet, because Lan Yuying made that sachet according to her mother's recipe for making incense.
She had thought before that Lan Yuying's mother might be from the Western Regions, but she never dared to think that Lan Yuying's mother was the empress of the Western Regions!
Xia Chu looked dejected and lost her mind. Suddenly a thought arose. Her expression changed drastically. She held Xiao Mubai's hand tightly and asked, "Isn't it possible that the poison on your body was given by her mother? The emperor's poison was also given by his mother?" So, the emperor killed her mother? Her mother indirectly killed my mother?"
Xiao Mubai held her hand back and tightened it: "Achu, please calm down."
Xia Chu was at a loss: "How can I calm down? I have loved my sister Meng'an since childhood, and her mother may be our common enemy!"
Xiao Mubai held her in his arms distressedly and patted her back to comfort her: "These are just my speculations. Now we have to find Lan Yuying first. Can you check whether she really has poison in her blood or not?" You have been poisoned. We haven’t verified the truth of that year, so don’t make random guesses."
Xia Chu buried herself in his arms, her voice choked with sobs: "What if everything is true?"
Xiao Mubai was silent for a while, released the hug, grabbed her shoulders with both arms, looked into her absent-minded eyes and said, "Even if it is really her mother who did it, it has nothing to do with her. She is your sympathizer." The dream of a sister is the dream that you have grown up with since childhood, and this will not change."
"It has nothing to do with Meng'an, nothing to do with her, nothing to do with her..." Xia Chu muttered to himself, repeating this sentence all the time.
"Achu..." Xiao Mubai said with worry.
Xia Chu suddenly stood up and climbed through the window to go out. Xiao Mubai grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xia Chu pushed him and said, "Go and find out her blood!"
Xiao Mubai pressed her against the wall, trapping her between the wall and his arm: "Do you know which palace she was taken to?"
Xia Chu looked eager: "I can look for them one by one."
Xiao Mubai's face became solemn, and he pinched her chin and forced her to turn around and look at the moonlight outside the window: "Look at what time it is now. Didn't Luo Leng, who was just at Yinshi, hear it? In a moment, It’s time for all the civil and military officials to go to court, why don’t you walk over the walls in front of them?”
Xia Chu bit her lip and remained silent.
Xiao Mubai sighed and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead: "Obey, you go back to Ci'an Palace to rest first. I will check on the rest and arrange a meeting between you and Lan Yuying as soon as possible."
Xia Chu knew what he said was right, calm down, calm down!
Now she is not alone. There is a group of people behind her. Yuefeng has taken her hand. She has just taken action. If she collapses now, what will those people outside do and how to go next.
Just as heaven and man were fighting in her mind, her body was pulled into a warm embrace again, and Xiao Mubai's whisper sounded in her ears: "Achu, don't be afraid..."
Xia Chu put her hands around his waist and leaned her head in his arms. The vigorous heartbeat soothed her anxious mind. She greedily buried her head in his arms again, rubbed and sniffed gently. Sniffing, it seems that you can also smell the refreshing and faint fragrance of plum blossoms on his body.
The fragrance seemed to calm her mind, and Xiao Mubai's vigorous heartbeat gradually calmed her down.
After a moment, she let go and gently pushed Xiao Mubai's chest, indicating that he could let go.
Xiao Mubai's eyebrows tightened and he called out again uncertainly: Ah Chu? "
Xia Chu raised her head and curled her lips into a smile: "Don't worry, I won't collapse as long as you are here."
Xiao Mubai released his embrace and touched the corners of her curved lips: "If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh. Don't worry about me. Just force yourself."
"I'm laughing because you're here." After Xia Chu said that, she quickly kissed him on the lips. Before Xiao Mubai could react, he had already pulled away and placed himself by the window. He jumped into the night and disappeared in an instant. No trace.
Only then did Xiao Mubai realize that he reached out and touched his lips, as if there was still warmth...
He walked to the window. The night was at its darkest, and Xia Chu's figure had long been invisible. He licked his lips, recalling the kiss just like a dragonfly's drop of water...
Before entering the palace at night, he had no idea that the matter was so serious. It wasn't until that bold idea came to his mind that he realized that the matter was far more serious than Xia Chu said.
Yue Fengwan said, "I will fight until death."
Xiao Mubai knew that this was just the beginning, Yue Feng had taken action, and once he took action, he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
He was leaning against the window, with black hair and black clothes. The night was as cold as water, but it couldn't cool the chill around him: "Yuefengwan, what tricks will you use next?"
