Ning Shu suddenly felt a chill in her heart and said in shock, "Her thorns have been taken care of one by one. Next will definitely be us. Not good! Zimo and Qinxin are definitely in danger. There is also Sir Duan. He rushed to Nan Jiang alone without help. He also has the secret of the Kiss of the Plum Blossom. Cao Hou will definitely not let him go! "
Xiahou Qing also thought of this and immediately ordered She Yan to bring people to secretly protect the children. He also sent people to Nan Jiang to support Sir Duan and ensure his safety. She Yan finally got the chance to be with Zi Gui for a while, but he was forced to separate again. He sighed, but in the end, the mission was more important. It was a matter of life and death. He could not be careless. In the end, he reluctantly touched Zi Gui's small hand. Under her angry eyes, he smiled and went to work.
There were still two streets ahead of them to the Duke fu. Jiu Si deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage and told the obedient horse to trot a little slower.
Feeling Ning Shu's worried mood, Xiahou Qing pressed her stiff arm and slowly comforted her, "Don't worry. We are not completely passive. Heaven's Inquisition just sent back news. The informants in the palace found out that the people who witnessed the chaos 25 years ago might not have all died."
Being held down by that slightly cool hand, even the turbulence in her heart was suppressed. It was as if a small boat in the middle of a stormy sea had finally found a huge pillar to rely on. With him here, she no longer needed to be afraid. Ning Shu said, "You mean, there are witnesses who survived?"
"Do you still remember the late crown prince, Xiao Minglou, who died tragically under the sword of Empress Zhou? He was raised by a wet nurse when he was alive, and that wet nurse had a good relationship with Empress Zhou. That year, too many people died in the fire in the palace. During the liquidation, the name of the wet nurse was on the list. Everyone thought she was dead. In reality, she was not. She changed her appearance and continued to hide in the palace for many years. Because she was too old, she was released from the palace not long ago according to the usual practice. If it weren't for the carelessness of her handwriting when she left the palace, I'm afraid no one in the world would be able to catch her. I've already sent people to bring her back to the palace. I believe that we'll be able to learn more about the secrets of that year very soon. "
When Ning Shu heard this, she couldn't help but click her tongue. "A wet nurse was able to hide under Empress Cao's nose for so many years without making a sound. It seems that the arrangements Little Empress Zhou made before her death are far beyond our imagination. That really is a terrifying and respectable woman who makes people fear her. However, there was still one thing I didn't understand. What kind of role did Xiao Mingxue and her brother play in Cao Hou's scheme? Why did they have to silence Princess Helui? Could it be that they were unhappy with His Majesty's careless decision to grant Xiao Yunyi and Helui a marriage? That shouldn't be. "
Now that her mother's crisis had been resolved and she had returned home safely, Zhao Mingzhen's Chen Yuanyuan Murder Case had been exposed in broad daylight. The only loser in the turmoil that had lasted for more than half a month was the Eldest Princess Xiao Mingxue. It was said that after losing her only bloodline for more than twenty days, the once noble and unparalleled Eldest Princess Protector's hair had turned white and she looked like an old woman. It really made people sigh. And now, His Majesty could not even protect himself. That case seemed to have gone cold after the person died, and no one cared about it anymore.
Xiahou Qing's expression was distant and calm. His knuckles tapped lightly on the chopping board in front of him as he said slowly, "Have you ever thought that maybe Helui's death had nothing to do with Cao Hou, but was another long-lasting revenge?"
Looking at his meaningful expression, Ning Shu suddenly had an epiphany and connected with him in a short moment. "You mean, this was also Empress Zhou's arrangement before she died?!"
