646 Xiaohu’s Might! (1)
The house was silent, except for Su Xiaoxiao’s words.
However, after a long time, so long that Su Xiaoxiao wondered if she had misunderstood Helian Ye, a muffled rumble came from the east.
The bookshelf moved to the side, revealing a dark secret room.
Right on the heels of that, a tall man in black slowly walked out.
Su Xiaoxiao had seen a portrait of the Prince of Nanyang when he was young. He was a handsome man in fresh clothes. He was high- spirited and elegant.
The man in front of him gradually overlapped with the appearance in the portrait. The difference was that there was a trace of time on his face, but he was still handsome.
The eyebrows of Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu eyebrows resembled his, but they were not so similar.
The children’s eyes were clean and clear, but his eyes were cold and sinister.
This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had seen the Prince of Nanyang in person. Because she had only seen the portrait before and had not formed a fixed impression, it was still acceptable.
The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds.
King Nanyang’s aura was very strong, but Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid of him at all.
This was not an ordinary girl.
King Nanyang’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s face. “You’re Qin Canglan’s granddaughter?”
King Nanyang’s voice was pleasant, but it was too cold, as if a pool of ice had shattered.
Su Xiaoxiao said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, “Yes.”
King Nanyang continued, “How did you guess?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “When General Helian was halfway through his sentence just now, I guessed that he had some scruples.”
Helian Ye was stupid. Sometimes, he still had some brains and knew how to hint at her with all kinds of expressions and eyes.
There was only one question that Helian Ye had really asked just now. Was Lord Wu An his father?
When he asked about Wei Chen later, he did not mention his name. Update by book.c0m It seemed that he had not mentioned Wei Chen to King Nanyang.
As for her asking if the Eldest Princess was the mastermind, he did not say anything, but his gaze said everything.
King Nanyang said calmly, “You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”
“If you want to ask how I guessed that the person behind the scenes is not the Eldest Princess, but you.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “It’s a long story.”
Actually, she had not guessed anything about King Nanyang until tonight.
No one would guess it was him.
From the beginning, they were misled by the portrait that Prime Minister Guo had treasured. Then, it was Sikong Yun’s turn. His silence was taken for granted.
Thinking about it carefully, Sikong Yun had never clearly said, “My master is the Eldest Princess.”
Unfortunately, she didn’t react at that time.
What made her suspect that the Eldest Princess was the mastermind was Moxie’s words.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Eldest Princess doesn’t know martial arts. To be precise, she only learned a little. She probably won’t be able to withstand a single move from Moxie.”
King Nanyang asked, “Can’t she have hidden her strength?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I’ve thought about it too.”
Until… she heard Ghostfear talking in his sleep and kept calling “Father”, “Second Brother”, “Third Brother”… “Your Highness”.
Wei Liulang said that Big Brother must have dreamed of the battle at Broken North Pass.
They had “died in battle” together. Ghostfear had witnessed their tragic state and it was deeply engraved in her mind, so he kept shouting at them, but what was with this greeting?
She asked Wei Liulang if anyone had gone to war on behalf of the Emperor.
Wei Liulang said no.
Then, who was the prince that Ghostfear saw at Broken North Pass?
The Eldest Princess had already become a monk. Four years ago, she was reciting scriptures in the nunnery in Qingzhou.
Indeed, she could also secretly rush to Broken North Pass, but with her status, if Wei Chen saw her, he would not skip the title and call her “Your Highness”. This was too intimate.
At this point, Su Xiaoxiao suspected that they had made a mistake.
Su Xiaoxiao recalled something Zhong Shan had said to her. “Grandmaster… treats King Nanyang very well.”?
At that time, she was at a loss. She was investigating the Eldest Princess. Why did it involve the King of Nanyang?
Could it be that Zhong Shan had seen something?
Was he speaking up for the Eldest Princess? After all, King Nanyang was in the same boat as the Wei family. The Eldest Princess doted on King Nanyang and would never break his arm.
As a loyal person, it was understandable that Zhong Shan would absolve his master. Perhaps he did not know the Eldest Princess’s plan.
Now that she thought about it, Zhong Shan had been reminding her to pay attention to King Nanyang from the beginning.
Of course, Su Xiaoxiao would not say it in front of King Nanyang.
