Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 720 The Princess Marries Far Away 15
Xiao Jingyao also nodded with a smile: "He did this not only to maintain the friendly exchanges between the two countries, but also to give a strong shock to the ministers of the war faction in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone..."

"Perhaps the Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty also liked Gao Yang's intelligence, and was worried that someone would interfere with the peace between the two countries, so she specially sent Gao Yang as a peace envoy..." Wei Zijin said this, remembering the doubts Xiao Jingyao said just now, and changed the subject again. He asked suspiciously, "What is Gao Yang's suspicious point that you mentioned just now?"

"Gao Yang's description is the same as Xiao Yuluo's description. Gao Yang recognized the skill of one of them, and he was definitely not from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now you suspect that it may be the assassin sent by Lu Guifei. It seems to have solved the doubts in Gao Yang's heart..." Xiao Jingyao said calmly, and picked up the teacup again.

"One is an assassin from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the other is an assassin sent by Concubine Lu Gui..." Wei Zijin said in a low voice, his whole body did not relax because he knew the origin of the assassin, but his brows were furrowed even tighter.

She didn't understand, was it a coincidence that the two assassins appeared at the same time, or did they have a mutual understanding, or... were they colluding secretly? !

When Wei Zijin thought of the last possibility, he was startled suddenly, his temples throbbed, and he kept asking himself the possibility and purpose of the secret collusion between Concubine Lu Gui and the main battle faction of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

If Concubine Lu Gui is someone like Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao, who has the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne, she may even secretly collude with the courtiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty and use the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty to ascend to the throne!
However, Concubine Lu Guifei has no son, and the entire Lu clan of Fanyang paid a lot to support Xiao Heng's ascension to the throne. Although they used many tricks behind the scenes to gain power, they would not collude with the Northern Wei Dynasty in order to seize the throne!
In other words, her previous guess was wrong, and it was not Concubine Lu Gui who sent the assassin, but someone else? !
And if the person who planned behind it really colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty, was it the same person who accused her father of being a collaborator with foreign enemies? !

"Zijin, what are you thinking?" Xiao Jingyao asked with concern as he patted the back of Wei Zijin's hand, seeing that Wei Zijin's expression was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.

"It suddenly occurred to me that my father was framed as a person who was a collaborator with internal and external enemies, and Xiao Heng also sent people to search for evidence... That evidence actually put my father in prison. I am afraid that someone colluded with the Northern Wei Dynasty and framed my father together!"

When Wei Zijin said this, he clenched his fists involuntarily, and a hint of resentment flickered in his eyes.

Xiao Jingyao was silent for a while, then asked thoughtfully: "So you suspect that Concubine Lu Gui may have colluded with the ministers of the war faction of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Before that, she fabricated evidence to frame Chen Guogong, and now she is colluding with the Northern Wei Dynasty to destroy the peace between the two countries?"

Wei Zijin shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm not sure... After all, there is no evidence now, let alone Lu Guifei doing this, where will Fan Yang's Lu family be placed?"

Xiao Jingyao also frowned slightly, and fell into a long thought.

At this moment, the maid Qiuyue walked lightly in front of Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin, and said respectfully, "My lord, Han Xianger sent a message..."

"What message?" Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin recovered from their contemplation and asked in unison.

"It's about Concubine Lu Gui and Princess Yong'an... She accidentally overheard Concubine Lu Gui talking to the court lady Caiyan. From Concubine Lu Guifei's tone, Concubine Lu Gui asked Caiyan to arrange the assassin!"
