Chapter 77
Since handing over the assassin caught last time to Xia Gai, Xia Gai has used all kinds of means to interrogate the real culprit behind the scenes, but this assassin's teeth are tight. After being tortured, he insisted not to speak, and finally couldn't stand it until today, and revealed the person behind the scenes. After hearing this, he immediately came to report to the prince!
After listening to his report, Xia Zhi was silent for a while, looked sideways at Jiu Yuan who was sitting beside him and said, "What do you think about this?"

Jiu Yuan didn't expect that he would ask for his own opinion, so he looked up at him slightly in surprise, and after seeing the seriousness in his eyes, he nodded his head lightly, and said: "Although the Duke Huguo is the one who most wants something to happen to the prince, , but I have some doubts about the statement that the murderer is the Duke of the Protectorate!"

Xia Gai looked up at her in puzzlement when he heard this, he spent several days interrogating this answer, how could it be false!
Xia Zhi didn't seem surprised at all when she said this, took a sip of the tea on the table with a light smile, and said, "Oh! Tell me the reason!"

Jiu Yuan was silent for a moment, and after organizing his words in his mind, he opened his mouth and said: "When the prince was injured and unconscious, Qin Keshuang showed his flaws when he came to find the prince. We sent people to follow her and found that she was secretly handed over to the Zhongyong Houfu. The news said that "Prince Duan is seriously ill. I have never seen him before, so it is difficult to understand the situation." From this, it can be inferred that the Zhongyonghou Mansion knew about the injury of the prince, so where did he know about it, so he is either the main culprit or the accomplice, no matter what He is also someone who knows the inside story!"

As soon as she stopped talking, she saw that Xia Zhi had already brought the tea to her. She smiled at him and took the cup, and took a sip. After these few days of getting along with each other, they are very concerned about doing these little things in life for each other. , she is already very proficient, and she won't be as embarrassed as she was at the beginning!
Then he continued: "But as soon as the clue came to Zhongyonghou, he immediately provoked the prince in the court, openly joined the Duke Hu's faction, and supported King An, as if he was afraid that we would not be able to find out who was behind him, so he gave it to him himself. It's too deliberate to be violent, but I think he is protecting someone and deliberately diverting our attention! So now I am skeptical of what the assassin said!"

After saying these words, she turned her head to look at Xia Zhi, her eyes sparkled with fluorescent light, as if she wanted his affirmation!
Seeing her like this, Xia Zhi suppressed a smile in his heart, looked at Xia Gai and said, "I heard everything the princess said!"

Hearing her analysis, Xia Gai also knew that he might have been tricked by the assassin and was deceived by him. If the prince believed his words, he would put the account on the Lord Protector and ask him to settle the score. , This not only protects his master behind the scenes, but also consumes the strength of Duan Wangfu, what a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
"This subordinate understands! This subordinate is negligent of duty, please punish him! Please give me a few more days, and I will definitely open his mouth and find out the real culprit behind the scenes!" Xia Gai said cruelly in his heart, unexpectedly I hunted eagles all day long, but the eagle pecked at my eyes, making myself embarrassed in front of the prince, and I will definitely make him feel better when I go back!
"Just remember the punishment for the time being. If you can get the person behind the scenes out of the assassin's mouth this time, even if you have paid off the merits, the merits and demerits will not be remembered!" Xia Zhi looked at Xia Gai who was kneeling and pleading guilty, Shen Sheng said.

"Yes! This subordinate is taking orders!" Xia Gai bowed up after saying that, and then backed out.

After Xia Zhi waited for him to go out, he smiled and asked Jiu Yuan again, "Since you said it wasn't the Duke Protector, then you suspect who did it!"

Jiu Yuan glared at him, and said bitterly: "You already have a conclusion in your mind, why bother to ask me again!"

Xia Zhi was not annoyed when she stared at him, and felt that it was not a good thing, so he said with a smile: "I just want to see you, I guess it's only one person!"

Jiu Yuan looked at him helplessly, dipped some tea in the cup with his hand, wrote a word on the table, then looked at Xia Zhi, waiting for him to speak!
Xia Zhi looked at the writing on the table, and smiled clearly: "Jiu Yuan really has a tacit understanding with me!"

Jiu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard this, this has nothing to do with having a good heart, it has something to do with IQ, okay?

"The weather is just right today, why don't we go for a walk by the lake!" She looked at the weather outside and changed the subject.

Hearing this, Xia Zhi stood up, took two steps towards the door, stopped to look at her and said, "What are you doing in a daze! Didn't you say you want to go out for a walk!"

"Ah! Okay!" Jiuyuan immediately stood up and followed his steps, and went to the shore of Jingming Lake with him!
The Jingming Lake in summer is like an ink painting, and people walking in it seem to be swimming in the middle of the painting, which makes people dissipate the depression gathered in these days!
Stealing Fusheng for half a day, the two walked leisurely along the shore of the lake, chatting some gossip, Jiuyuan saw the peonies blooming vigorously, stepped forward to pick off a brightly blooming one, handed it to Xia Zhi with a smile, and then Tilting her head slightly, she motioned for him to put the hairpin on her!

Xia Zhi took the flower and inserted it into her hair lightly with a smile, then chanted: "The rest of the face is gorgeous, making it a beautiful flower. Flowers are also delicate and beautiful, and people are also delicate and beautiful!"

Jiu Yuan blushed after being praised by him: "Don't talk nonsense, this flower is indeed delicate and beautiful, but I can't know what a person looks like!" I'm sorry!

Xia Zhi intentionally asked, "How are you?"

Jiu Yuan took a look at him, and said honestly: "Put it on the street, no one would take a second look! Even if you go out in men's clothes, no one will say that you are handsome!"

Xia Zhi took her hand, disapproving of her self-contempt, and said: "Hey~! It's because they have eyes that don't recognize real gold, mistakenly let the pearl be covered with dust, and just let me pick up a treasure!"

Jiuyuan was teased by him and laughed out loud, "Don't praise me!" She felt that she was not talking about herself!
The two walked forward talking and laughing. When Jiu Yuan turned his head and glanced at the opposite side of the lake, he happened to see Wan Yingjiao passing by. She frowned slightly, and then sighed as if thinking of something. Said: "Wan Yingjiao returned to the Duke Huguo's mansion, and she came back that afternoon, and did not stay for a few days as expected! If this happens, the move of letting her return to the Duke Huguo's mansion is useless! "

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "Although it's a useless move, it's not completely useless!"

Jiu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "What's the use of that!"

Seeing her eagerness to know the answer, Xia Zhi couldn't help laughing and said: "According to the news from Miss Mu, the Duke Huguo's mansion is bustling now! Since Wan Yingjiao returned to the mansion, Mrs. Wan has been talking to Wan Yingjiao for the past few days. Yin trouble!"

"Oh! That's interesting!" Jiu Yuan said with a smile. The quarrels and quarrels show that there is resentment in his heart. As long as there is resentment, sooner or later he will tell the reason for the resentment in his heart!
