"Why did Mr. Si leave the city in the middle of the night?"
She should have felt guilty, but for some reason, the more frank her attitude was, the more guilty Wei Heyan felt.
In the darkness, I sensed that the girl seemed to be smiling again.
"Xiaguan goes out of the city to handle things that cannot be handled by outsiders. This is also the duty of the Jin Yiwei. Why does the governor care about Xiaguan so much?"
In the past few days as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Si Yiluo also figured out that since she and Wei Heyan could not escape this bad relationship, it was better for her to take the lead.
Anyway, I have paid off what I owed him in my previous life, so I will act according to my heart in this life.
Thinking like this, when she faced Wei Heyan, she became less cautious and looking up to him, and more calm and calm.
Wei Heyan sneered and looked at her with his beautiful eyes for a long time.
"The governor wants to have a fish dinner."
The topic changed unexpectedly, and Si Yiluo was stunned. He has always been picky about eating, and he would never touch meaty food if he could. Last time, she only caught the fish to deal with Shen Moran, but she didn't expect it to be to his taste.
"Okay, but I have to trouble the governor to catch the fish himself."
Wei He said something and felt a little embarrassed.
What he was thinking in his heart was not the same thing as what he was saying. He wanted to peel off her disguise, wanted to know her secrets, wanted to understand her on a deeper level, and wanted to... kill her!
The words on his lips were ambiguous.
The girl unconsciously walked side by side with him on the street, the cool spring breeze blew in her face, and the sky was so dark that she could not see the expressions of the people around her.
The oppressive feeling on Wei Heyan's body surrounded her vaguely.
Si Yiluo's thoughts were racing, thinking about his past life, and how they had never walked or had meals together in peace. She was very close to him, but she had never entered his heart.
In this life, the two of them have been on opposite sides from the beginning, and she will never become friends with him, so before they completely break up, being nice to him is a way of repaying him for teaching her the skills that allowed her to live in peace... …
He was indispensable to the fact that she was able to fight her way out of thousands of troops and sit firmly as the commander of the Royal Guards.
The two of them had their own thoughts. Wei Heyan couldn't catch fish by himself, and Si Yiluo didn't expect him to catch fish. He returned to the familiar small kitchen of the Admiral's Mansion to prepare ingredients. After a while, Si Hai came in with a small basket of fish. .
Seeing the medicinal herb in her hand, she was surprised and said: "Is this motherwort?"
His voice rose two more degrees.
"You feed motherwort to the Lord?"
Motherwort is not very harmful, but very insulting.
Si Yiluo took out the fish and disemboweled it with very graceful movements.
"Who said motherwort can only be eaten by women? Motherwort has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Your governor's stomach fire is too strong, so he has a loss of appetite. Use motherwort to make fish paste, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also clear away fire and heat!"
Si Hai opened his mouth and felt that what she said made sense. Seeing that he couldn't help, he simply squatted down to light the fire.
While looking at her from the corner of his eye.
He was also very conflicted in his heart. If she stepped on their governor as a springboard, she was now the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the power in her hands was comparable to that of their governor. In terms of power, she was even slightly higher.
He definitely didn't bother to do such a thing as washing his hands and making soup, and there was no need to curry favor with his family's governor.
But if she said that she and them were of the same mind, even a fool would not believe it.
She had only been in the capital for a few days. She first served as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and then used lightning speed to eradicate dissidents within the Jinyiwei and worked carefully to save King Zhan.
A sudden rise. I had never heard of such a powerful figure in the Zhou Dynasty before!
But when she was cooking, she was really serious, and he didn't even feel disgusted, and even felt that this was how it should be.
Sihai suppressed the doubts in his heart, lowered his head and concentrated on lighting the fire.
The fried spring rolls were too greasy, so Si Yiluo put the rolled spring rolls in the oven to bake.
I made fish noodles again, poured light soup on it, put a mint leaf and two wolfberries on it, the color looked nice.
Si Hai couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Seeing her putting the cooked food on the tray, he stood up and said, "Master Si, let me do it."
Si Yiluo took off his apron.
"Tell your governor that I'm going back."
Her residence is right across from Wei Heyan. I wonder if the emperor intended for the two of them to be rivals. There is only a few dozen steps between the door from here and the door from there.
Si Yiluo did not return home, his figure was hidden in the dark night.
The residences of the princes are located at the root of the imperial city. It is late at night and there are many people who are awake.
A dark shadow slipped into Zhou Zhan's study.
"Your Highness, Si Yiluo has just taken office, and the people below him are uneasy. His subordinates took advantage of the chaos and bribed a few people to transcribe the files on the assassination case."
He was assassinated yesterday, and the case was closed this morning. The official definition is a vendetta. The assassin who assassinated him was indeed an enemy of the Protectorate, but his intuition is not that simple.
The closed case files are placed in the Jinyiwei's case file library, and only households with more than 100 households can enter the case file library to check the files.
The file contains on-site investigation records, confessions, and other details.
Zhou Zhan read carefully and found that Tiancan Silk was not mentioned in the file.
"Your Highness, you asked your subordinates to investigate the relationship between Si Yiluo and Miss Shen, and they also found out about it. Miss Shen was assassinated outside the city before, and Si Yiluo, who had just returned to the capital, happened to save her once."
Zhou Zhan looked at the file and saw that what Shen Moran said at that time was not out of line.
But why was Si Yiluo able to arrive in time when he was assassinated? Could it be that she had already sensed that someone was going to assassinate him?
"who?"
A figure flashed outside the window, and a guard stood in front of Zhou Zhan.
There was a flash of silver light, and a flying knife appeared in Zhou Zhan's hand.
There is a note tied to the throwing knife.
"Your Highness! Go and give chase!"
Zhou Zhan took off the note. The handwriting on the note was vigorous and powerful, with only one line of words.
"Behind the ruined temple Buddha statue in Beicheng?"
Zhou Zhan said, "No need to chase, Yinyue, go to Beicheng and see what is hidden behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple!"
The guard cupped his fists and replied, "Yes, I will arrange for a few more secret guards to be on duty to ensure the safety of the prince!"
After doing this, Si Yiluo sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion by familiar means. She still owed Shen Moran an explanation.
Shen Moran had already guessed that she would come in the evening, and thoughtfully left a window open for her. There were several plates of snacks on the table. But she was not sure when she would come, so she stayed up until she couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep.
My son was sleeping soundly.
After a long night of work, Si Yiluo was indeed a little hungry, so he sat down at the table and ate a few snacks to clear his mind.
Shen Moran vaguely felt someone in the room and sat up from the bed.
"Si Yiluo?"
Si Yiluo hummed, Shen Moran put on her clothes and got up, came over and asked, "Are you okay?"
"What can I do... I'm just too busy these two days to take care of it."
"What on earth is going on with this matter? And what you told me... Zhou Zhan died very early in his previous life. Could it be that there is some secret in it?"
"Does the person who assassinated me really have nothing to do with Zhou Yu?"
"Stop it!" Si Yiluo was afraid of her, asking questions one after another, "I'll tell you one by one."
"Let's talk about the assassination of King Zhan first. Someone bought Master Jueming from Tongjingshan Temple and lured him to the back mountain through bamboo sticks and Master Wu's temptation with the intention of assassinating him."
"Jueming was a flower-picking thief before he became a monk. You must have been unlucky enough to fall in love with him, so he used the same trick to trick you into hiding. I thought you, a weak woman, couldn't make waves, but I didn't expect Shen Mingshu to be involved. Face off with the people who came in to hunt you and the people who were chasing Zhou Zhan, giving you time to escape."
"Otherwise, even if I arrive, I will collect the bodies for you and King Zhan."
Si Yiluo took a sip of tea, and Shen Moran continued to ask: "Then how did you get the news and come here?"
