Xiao Zhangping's expression was so sincere and urgent that it didn't seem like he was lying at all. Hui Mo looked at his young master hesitantly and saw that his young master wasn't surprised at all after hearing his words. Instead, he opened his mouth very calmly and said a few words: "I guessed it."
"You already … guessed it?" Xiao Zhangping murmured.
The sound of the rain covered Xiahou Qing's suppressed coughs. Like a curtain of smoke, it made his face and voice appear hazy. However, the rain was also like a jade knife, sharpening the calmness and determination in his bones to the point that it could be seen clearly.
"Cough, cough." He started to analyze coldly. "When I heard the bad news yesterday, I was shocked and could not think. Until I rode the horse this way, I calmed down and thought carefully. The flaws in the plan appeared one by one.
The first flaw was: A mother, when she learned that her most beloved daughter had suddenly died and the cause of death was suspicious, her first reaction, other than grief, should be anger. She should want to immediately catch the culprit and take revenge for her daughter. But at the time, other than crying in grief, she did not have any other reaction. Even Duke Ning was silent. No one asked for an investigation. It was as if they all silently accepted that it was an accident.
The second flaw was Zi Gui. Zi Gui was the personal secret guard that Duke Ning had sent to her. He was also a death guard. Unless there were special arrangements, he would not be more than ten feet away from her. And they had a close relationship. Zi Gui had risked his life for her more than once and almost died. Under this premise, after hearing the news of her death, Zi Gui would appear to grieve for her and do his best to find the cause. But she disappeared. From yesterday when Ning Shu entered the palace until now, she had not appeared once. This was not normal. It was thought-provoking.
And the last flaw — Princess Wu. When I went to the courier station to ask but to no avail, she said something to me. She said: These years are too long. The only thing I understand is — some things are predestined. Perhaps separation is the best arrangement for everyone. She also advised me not to force things.
She had no enmity with us, so why did she help the other party hide Ning Shu's tracks? She also repeatedly advised me not to chase after her, as if she firmly believed that Ning Shu was not in danger. There was only one explanation. In her mind, the person who stole Ning Shu was someone who would never hurt her and had her best interests at heart.
After combining the three flaws, the final answer isn't hard to guess. Other than Ning Shu's mother, I can't think of anyone else who is more suitable. "
His reasoning was so clear that he had almost described the outline of the matter clearly. Xiao Zhangping clenched his fist and asked, "Since you have guessed it, why do you still insist on chasing after him? Maybe letting her go is the best thing for her? "
"Impossible." Xiahou Qing sneered, stubbornly refusing.
If running away was useful, then the curse that had been binding her since she was ten years old and the fourth plum petal that was about to grow on the side of her neck would be laughable. Princess He Xin had taken such a huge risk to send Ning Shu away. This proved that the person hiding in the dark was ready to make a move and was ready to strike. For so many years, that person had played them in the palm of his hand. How could he let Ning Shu leave Great Yue so easily? Princess Hexin wanted to play the game of a cicada escaping, but the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Instead, she might fall into the other party's trap.
When he thought that she might be in a place where he could not see, suffering terrible injuries and inhumane torture, his five viscera and six bowels were stirred up in pain.
Death was near. She was the only light in his dark life. He would never allow this light to be taken away by others.
"In this world, only I can protect her. As long as I am alive, she can only stay by my side. She is not allowed to go anywhere. Huimo, continue on your way! "
