It only took Xiao Changying two days to be sent back to Kyoto. They kept changing carriages along the way, traveling day and night. After the person was handed over to Xiao Changqing, Xiao Huayong confessed to Shen Xihe: "Xiao Jiu is back, and my person is sent back."
Shen Xihe was making clothes for Xiao Huayong. The prince had an entire clothing bureau at his disposal, and Shen Xihe was not the kind of virtuous wife who was confined to the backyard and devoted herself to taking care of her husband and children. Xiao Huayong never asked for such things. However, Shen Xihe had the habit of making clothes for her father and brother for all four seasons of the year. After marrying Xiao Huayong, she never favored one over the other.
Hearing this, her white fingertips holding the needle paused: "Are you hurt?"
Although she was asking, her tone was calm and straightforward. Since Xiao Changying had intervened in this matter, he would not withdraw halfway. Even if she personally stepped forward to stop it, she might not be able to stop it. With Xiao Changying's skills, it would not be easy to subdue him and forcibly bring him back unless Xiao Huayong went there in person.
The fact that he was sent back by Xiao Huayong's men and needed to be escorted by Xiao Huayong's men could only mean that he was injured, and the injury was not light.
Talking to intelligent people is extremely easy and you can understand them immediately.
Xiao Huayong's eyes swept over Shen Xihe vaguely, and seeing her continue to sew, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "She was seriously injured by Xiao Ba's men. Her life is not in danger, but she needs to recuperate for a month or so."
Shen Xihe nodded slightly in response and said nothing more, obviously not caring about this matter.
Xiao Huayong did not end the topic at this point, but teased Baisui and said: "It was me who led Xiao Ba's people to intercept and kill him."
"It's terrible, it's terrible!"
Before Shen Xihe could react, he heard the voice of Baisui. He looked up and saw Xiao Huayong holding a slender, polished wooden stick in his hand, scraping the softest feathers on Baisui's belly, making Baisui jump around on the cage. However, one of its feet was tied with an iron chain, and it could not escape Xiao Huayong's clutches.
After watching silently for a while, Shen Xihe asked: "Why?"
For a moment, she couldn't figure out the reason why Xiao Huayong led Xiao Changyan's men to kill Xiao Changying. Was it just for her that Xiao Changying risked his life
If Xiao Huayong only cared about this, Xiao Changying would not be able to leave Kyoto at all, and it would be impossible for him to find Bu Shulin. Xiao Huayong did not need Xiao Changying's help at all. He could ensure that Xiao Changying's life was not in danger, and he could also save Bu Shulin's life.
There would be no such thing as killing the donkey after it has done its work, waiting for Xiao Changying to help Bu Shulin and then destroying the bridge after crossing the river.
He poked Baisui a few more times, watching him flap his wings and howl: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, Yo Yo my heart..."
Xiao Huayong was satisfied with what he said, and he put down the stick with a mysterious and happy smile. He did not answer Shen Xihe's question, but suddenly said: "After the battle of Minjiang this time, His Majesty will definitely suspect that your Shen family is either colluding with the emperor's uncle, or I am hiding my strength.
No matter which one it was, it made him unable to sleep or eat, but different results required different coping strategies.
If it is the former, I will find a way to make you Shen family commit suicide and become traitors. If it is the latter..."
"The Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion. As the concubine of the Eastern Palace, my father, brother and I are all accomplices in your rebellion." Shen Xihe continued Xiao Huayong's words, "Your Majesty wants to know whether you are lying dormant or our Shen family has already rebelled. Minjiang River is destined to be a bloody storm.
