Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 894 Clue Interruption
Zhao Yuanxiang nodded and said, "Keep staring at them, don't worry. If it's a fox, it must have a tail."

After dinner, new news came.

It is said that Yuan Jieyu stayed at the residence in the afternoon, but a court lady named Qiu Xiang secretly met with a guard and gave him something.

Xuanyuan Chen immediately ordered someone to arrest the guard for interrogation.

In the side hall of Yulong Palace, Zhao Yuanxiang and Xuanyuan Chen sat side by side at the top, staring expressionlessly at the kneeling guard below.

Under the eyes of the two, the guard lowered his head and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Zhao Yuanxiang asked, "What's your name?"

The guard replied respectfully: "My subordinate Yin Xiao."

Zhao Yuanxiang went straight to the point and asked, "Why did you meet Qiuxiang, the court lady next to Yuan Jieyu this afternoon? What did she bring you?"

When Yin Xiao was suddenly summoned by the empress, he must have expected what would happen, so he was not surprised or surprised at all. He slightly raised his head and replied: "This subordinate and Qiuxiang are from the same village, and we just chatted for a while. It's just about home."

As he said, he lowered his head and took out a small bag made of a handkerchief from his sleeve, and offered it forward with both hands, saying: "Madam, this is what Qiuxiang gave to my subordinates. I haven't opened it yet, but I know it's inside. It’s a dim sum from home.”

Zhao Yuanxiang glanced at Du Ruo, and Du Ruo stepped forward to take the thing and opened it. Sure enough, there was a small golden snack inside.

Yin Xiao continued: "It's not difficult to make this kind of dim sum, but as a member of the imperial palace, the subordinates really can't eat such a hometown flavor. Qiuxiang just shared a little bit for the subordinates to taste."

His explanation sounded reasonable, Zhao Yuanxiang thought for a while, and asked, "Where did you go after getting this snack, is there anyone else around?"

Yin Xiao bowed his head and said: "After getting the snacks, it's the subordinate's turn to change guards and patrol. The subordinates and the brothers in the same team have been together all the time."

Zhao Yuanxiang and Xuanyuan Chen looked at each other, knowing that there would be nothing to ask.

Although Yin Xiao has a perfect explanation, and there are still people who can testify for him, it doesn't mean that he has no way to do something secretly.

For example, he is just a messenger, what Qiuxiang gave him, he can give it to another person on the way back to the guard, and then that person will spread everything.

Although there is no evidence, as long as there is this possibility, then Yin Xiao is not worthy of belief.

However, Zhao Yuanxiang's purpose is not to make Yin Xiao plead guilty, so there is no need to keep pestering her.

She waved her hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, let's go down."

Yin Xiao answered yes, stood up and walked backwards, walked a few steps and then stopped, hesitatingly said: "That dim sum..."

Du Ruo hurriedly returned the things to him, and he thanked him before going out the door.

Xuanyuan Chen asked: "What do you think?"

"He is very calm, I can't see if he is lying." Zhao Yuanxiang said, "However, you can't trust him just because of that."

Xuanyuan Chen nodded, stood up, and stretched out his hand to her: "It's getting late, rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zhao Yuanxiang held his hand and stood up, thinking about this in his heart, and slowly walked towards the bedroom.

She was still thinking about it until she reached the door of the bedroom.Xuanyuan Chen stared at her for a while, shook his head amusingly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug her horizontally.
