Chapter 322 I didn’t do it

Author: Bei Wei

Xiao Beiheng sat up suddenly and reached for the bed in a panic.

How could he sleep so defenselessly? If someone came to assassinate him, he would definitely die without knowing it.

Thinking that his life would end in such a scene, he became even more panicked. It wasn't until his fingertips touched the hard scabbard of the Yanque Sword with body temperature and held it tightly that he stopped trembling, raised his head and looked drowsily towards

around.

The room was dark, but there was nothing that could be seen. The moonlight slanted through the window lattice, casting white diamond-shaped light grids on the smooth varnish floor. Familiar room, familiar furniture layout, familiar smell... He was indeed lying there

In my own bedroom, I am not in some strange place.

After calming down, he raised the Yanque Sword upright, held the handle of the sword with his right hand and slowly pulled it out. No matter how familiar the touch was, he still had to see the edge of the Yanque Sword with his own eyes before he would be completely reassured.

Yan Que let out a faint sword chant, and the cold blue light rushed out from the gap between the sword blade and the scabbard, reflecting a ray of light on his face. The ray of light divided his face into two halves, and one half was illuminated by the light.

, like a human being. The other half is hidden in the darkness, like a ghost.

After he used Yan Que to block Ji Yunyan's amazing attack, he would not let the Yan Que sword leave his side no matter where he went. This light gave him more sense of security than anyone else could give him. Whether it was his father, Emperor Qi Ming

, or his mother Queen Wen, or his wife Su Mo.

Putting Yan Que back into the scabbard, he noticed that Su Mo was not with him.

She clearly remembered that Su Mo helped him back to the room, so why didn't she go to bed with him? It was so late, the moon was high, where had she gone if she wasn't sleeping?

He got out of bed in the dark, pulled on a robe and put it on his body, holding the Yan Que sword in his hand, and walked towards the door of the bedroom.

Before he could reach the door, the door made a soft "squeak" sound, and Su Mo stepped through the door holding a dim yellow lamp.

Xiao Beiheng subconsciously raised his hand to his eyes to block the light.

During the days when he couldn't sleep, whenever he saw light in the dark, his eyes would hurt. Now that he had just woken up, he was afraid that it would hurt again.

"Beiheng, you're awake..." Su Mo said quietly and walked into the house.

There was no joy in her tone. The light reflected her delicate and fair face. When the two passed by, Xiao Beiheng could clearly see the wet tears on her face, as if she had just cried.

Xiao Beiheng thought Su Mo was worried about his physical condition. He rubbed his eyelids with his fingers and said with a smile: "Momo, what's wrong with you? You seem a little unhappy. Is it because I got up again? I didn't have a nightmare."

He woke up this time not because of a nightmare, but because he didn't touch Yan Que Sword.

Su Mo put the lamp on the table, turned around and said, "You have been sleeping all day."

"Have I slept all day?" Xiao Beiheng turned his head and looked out the window in surprise, "I feel like I just closed my eyes for a while and only slept for half an hour."

"Then you..." Su Mo looked at Xiao Beiheng and sat down at the table, "How do you feel now?"

Xiao Beiheng moved his shoulders, turned left and right, and said with a smile: "I feel much better now, but I'm just a little hungry."

"I know you will be hungry when you wake up. The kitchen is always heating up food." Su Mo's expression was indifferent, still the same as when she walked in, and her tone did not change at all.

Xiao Beiheng was a little strange. His energy had recovered, so Su Mo should be happy.

"What's wrong with you?" He pulled up a chair and sat across from Su Mo, "Tell me."

Su Mo raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise, biting her lips with tears in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Su Mo finally said, "Beiheng, why did you do that?"

Xiao Beiheng was startled and said, "What did I do?"

"Don't you know very well what you did," Su Mo said, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes again, "Since you did it, why don't you dare to admit it? Do you know how I got through this day? I thought

I want to wake you up, but I want you to sleep well..."

"Wait a minute," Xiao Beiheng stood up and took two steps forward, standing in front of Su Mo, "Momo, please explain clearly what I did."

"Why did you want to kill sister-in-law?" Su Mo also stood up, clenched her fists, and looked directly at him with tears in her eyes, "Sister-in-law has obviously promised us, and the eldest brother will not compete with you for the crown prince position. Why do you want to kill sister-in-law?"

?”

Xiao Beiheng's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. He raised his hands and put them on Su Mo's shoulders, shook them hard twice, and asked, "Say again, Shen Yuexi is dead? Are you sure?"

The news was so shocking that he didn't think it was true.

Su Mo sobbed: "It's true. News came from Shengjing yesterday that after drinking the anti-fetal medicine given by the father, my sister-in-law couldn't breathe after a day and suffocated to death. The doctor said that someone was using the anti-fetal medicine.

He was poisoned by the poison of Gelsemium. Now the entire Shengjing is in mourning. My eldest brother is so sad that he fell ill in bed. He has sent envoys to the capital to ask my father to hand over the poisoner and kill him with a thousand cuts to avenge his sister-in-law..."

Xiao Beiheng let go of Su Mo, stumbled back two steps, sat down on the chair, and said in a panic:

"This is impossible, I didn't do this."

Su Mo took out her silk handkerchief and wet her eyes with tears and said, "Do you still want to deny it?"

"I have nothing to deny, I didn't do it." Xiao Beiheng shook his head, "I really didn't do it, Momo."

Su Mo became even more sad, turned around and leaned on the desk, crying: "You once poisoned your eldest brother, and then you poisoned Xiao Kai... You have done it many times. You have always lied to me, and now you still

Lie to me."

Xiao Beiheng argued: "Xiao Kai is an enemy and he has the Yanque Sword. How can we deal with him without poisoning him? But it was Lin Kui who poisoned the eldest brother, not me."

"Isn't Lin Kui your subordinate?" Su Mo raised her head, but did not look back at him, "You were the prince of Qi at that time, and you had a noble status. Of course you couldn't do such despicable things with your own hands. You asked Lin Kui to do it for you

Do it, you let the rebels of the Jingzhou Army do it for you. Now you have even begun to take advantage of your mother... your mother is such a gentle and kind person."

"What should I say before you are willing to believe me?" Xiao Beiheng was so angry that he stood up and walked around the room irritably, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it. Since the eldest brother said he wouldn't compete with me for the crown prince,

Why should I kill Shen Yuexi!"

"Keep your voice down," Su Mo stood up hurriedly, turned to him and said, "Don't let the servants hear this."

Xiao Beiheng raised his head and was speechless. After a while, he lowered his voice and said: "I haven't been able to sleep well these days. Where can I find the energy to do these things? Besides, my mother will not pass by Anzhou when she goes to Shengjing..."

"Isn't Lin Kui in the capital?" Su Mo said, "Did you tell Lin Kui to do it?"

"I really didn't do it!" Xiao Beiheng couldn't hold himself back, strode up to Su Mo, grabbed her wrist and raised it, "Momo, you don't believe me so much, ah?"

A look of pain appeared on Su Mo's face and she said, "Don't you...have always wanted to kill your eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

Xiao Beiheng snorted angrily, threw her hand away, and said: "I didn't know their relationship with my father at that time, but now I know. If I have harmful intentions to them, I will go to Shengjing to be with them. Are you celebrating Chinese Valentine's Day? Besides, since eldest brother is willing to give up his position as prince to me, I have no reason to kill Shen Yuexi."

Su Mo rubbed her sore wrist and whispered, "Are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Beiheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and almost wanted to kneel down to Su Mo again: "Momo, you can't panic because of what I said before, and you won't believe anything I say next, right? How could I lie to you about such a big matter?"

Seeing his repeated denials, Su Mo believed it. She asked, "Then who was the one who poisoned me?"

Xiao Beiheng shook his head and said: "Momo, it's not the most important thing who poisoned you. No matter who poisoned you, this strategy is too insidious."

After recovering from the shock, he could think calmly again. After thinking about the consequences for a while, he began to panic.

"Why is it so sinister?" Seeing the seriousness of what he said, Su Mo asked with concern.

"Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Zhuo and I are competing for the position of crown prince. Shen Yuexi is Xiao Zhuo's right-hand assistant. Now that she has been poisoned to death, I must be the first to be suspected." Xiao Beiheng took a few steps back and forth uneasily, " This is pushing me into a pit of fire. If the father also thinks that I did it...do you think he will still let me be the prince?"

Su Mo also looked nervous and came over and said, "Then what are we going to do?"

"I have to go to the capital to see my father quickly," Xiao Beiheng put down the Yanque Sword and went to get his clothes, "Momo, help me get dressed quickly. I'm going now to tell my father that I am not the murderer. After the murderer is found, I will I will personally take him to my eldest brother... I have to prove my innocence... I really shouldn't sleep this day."

After just sleeping for a day, something so big happened that it was enough to cause huge waves.

Seeing that he was anxious, Su Mo quickly got some clothes to help him get dressed. Xiao Beiheng went to wash himself. Su Mo went out and called the maid Xiaoxiang and said: "I ordered people to prepare the carriage and horses quickly. Prince Ping is going to Beijing overnight. By the way." … Prepare some more food and put it in the car, Prince Ping hasn’t eaten yet… Forget it, I’ll go with Prince Ping as well.”

Xiaoxiang was about to leave after receiving the order. A maid hurried over and said: "Prince Ping, Princess Ping, and the Queen's motorcade has entered the city and is heading towards Prince Ping's mansion."

Xiao Beiheng and Su Mo looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
