Chapter 174 The cunning fox

Shen Yuexi crossed her hands and supported her chin, pouting and looking at Xiao Zhuo, who was sitting opposite her and drinking tea.

Xiao Zhuo is so smart that nothing seems to be hidden from his eyes. He actually knows that he is acting at a glance.

She feels that she has performed well. For someone who has never learned acting, isn't it worthy of praise? Everyone likes to be praised for their performance.

As a result, this person came up and said, "You're acting quite convincingly."

Please, that's not what praise is.

This is obviously a blow.

She almost couldn't help but want to ask Xiao Zhuo, how could he be tricked by Emperor Yongde when he was so clear-minded?

But this was Xiao Zhuo's pain point, and as long as Xiao Zhuo didn't mention it, she didn't want to touch his troubles.

In the end, there was only a moment of hesitation, and Xiao Zhuo saw his little thought again.

"You hesitate to speak," Xiao Zhuo said to her proactively, "Do you want to ask me why I can't see my father's plan?"

"Ah...you know it again?" Shen Yuexi was a little unconvinced.

"My failure is only this one," Xiao Zhuo said with a smile, "Of course you can only think of this, it is not difficult to guess."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuo had already told the truth, Shen Yuexi felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so she admitted openly: "I'm a little strange, it's hard for you to be fooled."

"It's very simple. I won't doubt my parents," Xiao Zhuo answered happily. "If you even doubt your parents, then I think this person must be terminally ill."

"But Emperor Yongde went too far, don't you hate him?" Shen Yuexi was puzzled.

"Of course I hate it, especially the time when I was being hunted. But it has been so long, and I have thought about it a lot. What I hate most now is the person who slandered me. This person is the instigator. If it weren't for this person, everything that follows would be It won't happen." Xiao Zhuo stood up, walked to the window and looked at the dead trees outside the building, "Remember I told you before that I am tracking this person."

Shen Yuexi was also quite curious and asked: "Who is that person? Have you found any clues now?"

"No matter how cunning a fox is, one day it will show its tail." Xiao Zhuo looked up at the sky. "No one can hide forever. Now my men have basically found out that the person who falsely accused me was..."

Having said this, Xiao Zhuo turned his head and glanced at Shen Yuexi: "Come here, I'll tell you."

Shen Yuexi was extremely nervous after hearing this, and quickly stood up and walked around the table to Xiao Zhuo.

This matter is of great importance and involves Xiao Zhuo and her future. Xiao Zhuo must tell her quietly in case the walls have ears.

The two of them stood in front of the window. Xiao Zhuo's lips were almost close to her ear and said: "I'm going to the palace for a banquet later. Time is tight. Let's take a bath together. How about I tell you slowly?"

Shen Yuexi raised her face and smiled: "Bad guy, so you want to use this to seduce me?"

Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hand and stroked her cheek: "The fox is very cunning. You can't catch her directly. You have to give her a piece of meat first."

"This piece of meat is indeed delicious, but I don't dare to eat it," Shen Yuexi smiled and stretched out her hand to tap his forehead, "I'm afraid you won't be able to control it, and you will become more aggressive, and I can't stop you. .”

If they really wanted to bathe together, they would probably start a fire. Without Xiao Zhuo having to do anything, she would have surrendered directly. She had to try to avoid this situation.

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, tightened his arms slightly, and whispered: "In that case, when your little fox shows its tail, I will eat you in one bite."

"Seriously, who is that fox?" Shen Yuexi couldn't restrain her curiosity, "Tell me."

Xiao Zhuo didn't tell her this, so she felt like a group of little foxes were tickling her with their claws.

Xiao Zhuo lowered his voice very low: "The ministers have all ruled it out, it should be a concubine of the father."

"Ah, could it be..."

Shen Yuexi almost shouted out, but fortunately she was quick and covered her mouth directly. She opened her bright eyes and looked at Xiao Zhuo with questioning eyes.

Xiao Zhuo nodded slowly: "Mei Dai."

Shen Yuexi looked around.

Somewhat awkwardly, she and Xiao Zhuo were now in the place where Mei Dai once lived, but they were discussing the possibility of Mei Dai framing him.

She whispered: "Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but her suspicion is the greatest." Xiao Zhuo pondered for a moment and continued, "The only person who can enter the East Palace to place evidence to frame me is someone from the palace. At first, I thought it was Concubine De. I After being deposed by my father, the person who benefits the most is the second prince who has been assisting the government for four years."

Shen Yuexi also felt that what Xiao Zhuo said made sense. The crown prince's position was vacant, and it was natural for the second prince to take over. No matter how it seemed, this matter had something to do with Concubine De. She was probably the one who falsely accused Xiao Zhuo.

"Then why did you change your mind again?" she continued to ask.

"The second prince is not as capable as me in any aspect. I don't believe that my father would abandon me and choose him. This is also true. My father did not make the second prince a prince, nor did he favor Concubine De. On the contrary, Now my father completely neglects Concubine De and spends all day with Concubine Mei Dai."

Xiao Zhuo paused and continued: "When Mei Dai entered the palace, I was fighting in Beidi. At that time, my mother was still there, and she was unknown. After my mother died, she immediately came to power. Now my father is bewitched by her and obeys her words. I'm afraid she is the one who falsely accused me."

"You mean, Mei Dai killed your queen mother in order to gain power?"

"This is just my speculation, I'm not sure yet," Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "We still need to investigate further."

Shen Yuexi asked nervously: "If...if it is really Mei Dai who framed you...then what are you going to do?"

"She harmed my queen mother and made me lose everything," Xiao Zhuo's tone returned to his cold tone, "Of course I will take revenge in the same way. I will kill Xiliang King Meicheng and seize the entire Xiliang."

Shen Yuexi was surprised: "But isn't Maple your friend?"

She had no doubt that Xiao Zhuo had this ability. There seemed to be nothing that this man couldn't do.

"I understand, but this hatred cannot be offset by just Mepu." Xiao Zhuo let her go and whispered, "After the wedding is over, we will continue to stay here. Before it is completely confirmed, I will not Action. Once my men inform me of the results, my revenge will begin."

Shen Yuexi swallowed hard: "Does Maple know about this?"

"No one will tell this kind of thing to another person, even relatives." Xiao Zhuo took a deep breath and softened his expression, "The King of Xiliang warmly entertained us. From the current point of view, it should be just a simple hope. With the help of my power, neither he nor Maple should know."

Shen Yuexi thought of Xiao Beiheng who was stationed in Dongji Town and asked: "Didn't Xiao Beiheng give you three months? You still have to wait for the results of your subordinates. What if the three-month period is exceeded?"

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "What Xiao Beiheng hopes is that I will weaken Prince Jing's military strength for him. Xiao Beiheng will not send troops until the actual confrontation between Prince Jing and I. Now, how about we go take a bath together?"

Shen Yuexi was startled, pushed his chest with both hands, turned around and ran away: "I'll wash first, you're not allowed to come in."

Just a moment ago, this man was full of murderous intent, but in an instant he became deviant again.
