“Why?” Concubine Bai asked curiously
“Actually, if you just think about it…” Zu An wanted to say ‘I’, but he i hied his words “If you think about it, you can deduce a thing or two from the Embroidered Envoy’s actions If Xin Rui died, they would definitely start investigating her relationshi+ps in the palace, who she met before she died, and if anyone had the motive and opportunity to kill her Once this happened, even Concubine Bai would be a suspect”
Concubine Bai smiled “Indeed After all, Xin Rui is my personal maid, so I would become the number one suspect if she dies However, even if she left the imperial palace, I would still be a prime suspect After all, the two of us were just too close”
Zu An continued from Concubine Bai’s statement “The mastermind is extremely smart They used the weakness of human nature and remained in the most suspicious place from the start; but others subconsciously felt that this was just too simple, that it was someone else who tried to fraether with the clues that appeared afterward, people wouldn’t be able to help but think ‘no wonder’ afterward Then, they would investigate other suspects, even though the ht under their noses”
Concubine Bai frowned “Then, judging fro, it see of is me?”
Zu An didn’t reply to her question and instead continued, “What we just talked about is ould have happened had Xin Rui died However, Xin Rui left the imperial palace alive, so the Eate first If there were no records, they would naturally suspect Xuanwu Gate’s Ou Wu”
“Yet when the Eate Ou Wu, he suddenly disappeared with his wife and children, while the one in charge of the gate was the Murong clan’s youngLuo, everyone knows they’re a part of King Qi’s faction King Qi has the et the crown princess, so everyone concluded that theQi’s faction probably believed that
“That wouldQi a heavy blow King Qi would feel that the e his power, and that the e him, so of course he would retaliate Once this happens, the tacit balance between the tould collapse, and the entire nation would be thrown into chaos The one stirring the waters in the shadoould then take advantage of this crisis for personal gain”
Just then, the ian to wail Concubine Bai quickly cal to Zu An, “I don’t knohat youme all this Can it be that you feel that I’m that mastermind? I’m an irandson What benefit would there be fro the entire empire into chaos?”
The maid had already returned with some Hundred Flower Tea Furthermore, the wet nurses had also hurried over when they heard the i, Zu An and Concubine Bai remained silent Zu An calrance truly cleared the mind
Concubine Bai had the randson back When only the two of them were left, she re poison in the tea today”
Zu An said with a smile, “I don’t believe that Concubine Bai would be someone so contemptible Further hness wishes to personally start a scandal withquickened “Do you know that just these words alone are already enough for me to have you beaten to death by the rod?”
