Chapter 40: Hidden mystery

The eyes are facing each other, and an invisible contest is flowing between the two, and no one has ever continued to speak.
The hands between Yun Xiao's neck became tighter and tighter, and his breathing became weaker. His complexion became redder due to lack of breath, and the flap of her lips slowly took on an abnormal blue-purple.
The hands in the wide sleeves on both sides are tightly clenched together, and I use my best efforts to calm myself down. At this time, whoever speaks first will lose thoroughly.
She smiled at the corner of her mouth, her expression was calm, and the sarcasm in her eyes became stronger, but she didn't mean to ask for mercy.
Zhou Jingchen looked at the corners of her slightly smiling mouth, with red cheeks and iron blue lips, it was a strange color, but her pair of obsidian eyes made him look awkward.
At a glance, he could see that this little servant was a woman disguised as a man. This was the first woman to be able to face danger in front of him. He moved with a cold snorted, "Let her go."
After hearing the instructions, the guard pushed Yun Xiao and dropped his hands.
Yun Xiao just smiled faintly, twitched the corner of her mouth lightly, and took a few breaths slowly. She looked elegant, not at all like the woman who had just walked out of a ghost gate.
Zhou Jingchen didn't expect that this woman would still be in danger in this situation, but attracted a part of her own attention.
Looking at the tea cup opposite, Yun Xiao understood what the man meant, and walked over generously. Just seeing Zhou Jingchen's current appearance, Yun Xiao knew that he had a chance of winning.
She took a bow and saluted, and sat opposite Zhou Jingchen, holding the tea cup in her palm but not tasting, "Since your Royal Highness is here, you should bring the silver?"
Zhou Jingchen wore a black robe today. The front of the robe was embroidered with dark patterns with golden silk thread. After taking a sip of tea, the guard who had pinched Yun Xiao came forward and handed over one hundred thousand taels of silver tickets.
"This is one hundred thousand taels of silver, but it also depends on whether the news you give is worth it?"
Yun Xiao didn't even look at the silver ticket, her eyes rolled, her throat was so hot, she smiled faintly, "On October 15th, someone will assassinate the prince, is this news worth one hundred thousand taels of silver ticket?"
When she was halfway talking, there was a long sword on her neck, but Yun Xiao calmly finished speaking the rest of her words. Instead, she smiled lightly and took a sip from the tea cup. Tea, with a natural look, "If I'm not wrong, this should be the best Yunwu tea, right?"
It’s really fun to talk about tea with each piece on the neck so naturally!
He looked at Yun Xiao's face with an uncertain look for a long time, as if he wanted to see some flaws. The queen is charitable, and he always likes to go to Xiangguo Temple on the fifteenth of every month. Even if he can't go, he will send cronies Going, and just as the mother's back became weaker last night, he told the mother's queen about going to Xiangguo Temple for incense instead of the mother's queen.
He was about to agree, and someone told him that someone was going to assassinate him. Is this really a coincidence? No, he doesn't believe in coincidences!
Instead of looking at the long sword between her neck, he stared at her eyes. After a long time, he raised his voice, "Are you interested?"
"I'm not interested, I am somewhat interested in the Prince's life. I don't know if the one hundred thousand taels of silver bills belong to me?" She took the time to admire the hostility on the Prince's face, but didn't mean to stop it.
One hundred thousand taels of silver to buy the prince's life, I still lost! In the last life, on October 15th, the prince was ambushed and died on the way to the incense. This caused a great sensation in the capital, so this matter is not only known to himself, but also to the county lord of Huining!
Zhou Jingyan's hostile eyes fell on Yun Xiao's body, and handed the bank note in front of him to Yun Xiao, "Aren't you afraid of life to take money, or life to spend money?"
Yun Xiao did not refuse, and took the bank note into his arms, "Naturally, I am afraid, but I don't think the prince will want my life, let alone, the prince still wants me to continue to provide information, right?"
Zhou Jingyan's eyebrows sank, Junyi's face was covered with frost, and the long sword on Yun Xiao's neck sank slightly, "Who are you?" She knew that someone would assassinate herself. She must have been involved. Among them?
Yun Xiao raised his hand and touched the blood stains left between his neck. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the corners of her mouth evoked a faint mockery, "You only need to know that I have no malicious intentions, but whether your Royal Highness can escape the catastrophe depends on the Prince. Your Highness."
After she finished speaking, she pinched the sword with her little hand and pulled it away. "His Royal Highness's sword should be far away from me."
Zhou Jingyan nodded, and the guard's long sword was taken from her neck. "Do you know who assassinated me?"
Yun Xiao suddenly laughed when she heard these words. She was already beautiful, and even wearing gray cloth clothes could not hide the faint light from her eyes like ancient well orchids, "I don't know, your Royal Highness does not need to ask. Where did I know about this."
After she finished speaking, she stood up calmly and walked outside the door, and Zhou Jingchen didn't mean to stop her.
Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the room. The prince was handsome and handsome, but he was not a good-looking person.
In her previous life, when she married Zhou Jingyan, Zhou Jingchen was dead. Although she had never dealt with Zhou Jingchen, she had a deep understanding of the insidious cunning of the royals.
As for who is going to assassinate the prince? She could already guess the candidate, she was willing to save the prince, but she just wanted to stir the jar of water evenly to make Zhou Jingyan's emperor's road more difficult.
She even had to personally push that person down from that position!
Zhou Jingchen's bodyguard secretly chased out the house, but just walked out of the room, and disappeared the woman in the little servant clothes!
In the elegant room next door, the county lord of Huining personally poured a cup of tea for Zhou Jingyan, "How about the three princes taste the tea I made personally? This is the water I sent to the mountain spring outside the city to pick up, it’s sweet and fragrant. Don't have a taste."
She held the tea to Zhou Jingyan's complexion, and her eyes fell on him. The pale blue robe was embroidered with different dark patterns with silver silk, and the dazzling silver light exuded a faint brilliance. The more he added, his brows were handsome and his bearing was dusty. .
Unexpectedly, the third prince who was despised and looked down upon in the previous life was such a place!
Not only him, but the woman she looked down upon was actually on the back! She is jealous, crazy jealous! That position can only be one's own!
Therefore, she must first attract the man's attention before the woman marries Zhou Jingyan. She has the memory of her previous life and knows what will happen in the future. She can help this man with advice!
She would never let that humble woman sit back and look down on herself!
Zhou Jingyan took all the changes made by the Huining County Master into his eyes, and saw that the Huining County Master's meekness and gentleness turned into jealousy in front of his eyes, doubts in his heart, his complexion not showing, and the smile on the corners of his mouth deepened, "Really. Good tea, I don’t know what is the important thing for the county owner to invite me here today?"
Before that, although he and the county lord of Huining were cousins, Huining had never looked at herself directly. It was the first time for him to make appointments like this, so he was not vigilant.
The county lord of Huining concealed his thoughts, and said with a chuckle, "I heard that His Royal Highness will go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense on the fifteenth generation of the Empress. Does the Third Highness know?"
Zhou Jingyan's heart moved, and her expression became more gentle, "Where did the county owner know about it?" The prince's surrogate mother's incense has not yet been spread, and the county owner of Huining can know about it, and he can't help but be alert.
Seeing Zhou Jingyan's words, the host of Huining County saw a lot of smiles in her eyes. She reached out and drove all the maids to the outside. Looking at Zhou Jingyan, Zhou Jingyan also drove her little servant out.
The county lord of Huining said, "Where is the inconvenience to tell you, but I can tell the third one thing."
After she finished speaking, she got closer to Zhou Jingyan and said a few words softly.
Zhou Jingyan's handsome face was finally a little bit more surprised. This surprise was not for what Huining said, but because the county owner of Huining knew his plan! Really incredible!
Yesterday, he sent his cronies around the prince to tell him that the prince would enter the incense on October 15th, and the thought of assassination was born, but he hadn't implemented it yet, the county lord of Huining actually knew that someone would assassinate the prince!
Really incredible!
He looked at the host of Huining County with a pair of eyebrows for a while, and at this moment, a murderous intent surged in his heart!
Could it be that someone who betrayed him came out of his side? No, I haven't discussed this idea with my staff at all. How can others know it? Or is she sent by the prince to test herself?
At this moment, his mind has turned a hundred thousand times, and the killing intent in his chest is even worse. He stared at the hostess of Huining, who was on the opposite side, with a smile and a mysterious face, while holding a hand tightly in his hand. Dagger, how should I get away after planning to kill Huining?
The host of Huining County only felt that the atmosphere in the air immediately condensed, and the smile on her face slowly faded. Suddenly she seemed to understand something, her body was a little stiff, and there was a hint of timidity in her eyes.
For a while, she only remembered her own advantages in rebirth. She only remembered that she wanted to join Zhou Jingyan to help him ascend to the throne, but she had forgotten the man in front of her. Since she can stand out among the many princes, she naturally has her own considerations and motives, absolutely not. People who trust others so easily!
The dispute between the princes and princes is surging. Zhou Jingyan also has this ambition. Otherwise, he won't be a god. It's just that he is too good to cover up in daily life, and he is definitely not as useless as he usually shows.
If the assassination of the prince weren't done by Zhou Jingyan, she didn't know if Zhou Jingyan would betray her, and told the prince or the emperor about it. If it was done by Zhou Jingyan, her behavior would be tantamount to plucking the tiger's beard.
She has to think about how to make Zhou Jingyan believe in herself!
Seeing the little bit of killing intent in his eyes, the county lord Huining's expression was stunned, only that he was cold all over, and his mind turned quickly.
Her eyes lit up suddenly, and finally she had an idea!
