After my rebirth, I became the Prince Regent's favorite

A bone-gnawing glint flashed in her eyes, and she quickly said something in the old nanny's ear.

The old mama looked shocked: "My queen, you must not do this. I'm afraid the emperor will blame you!"

Concubine Jade scolded coldly: "How dare he? He has been obedient to me for so many years, so how can he blame me for this matter? But if everything comes to pass, won't there be another concubine in this palace to serve him?"

She couldn't bear to urge: "Hurry up and go to the general's mansion to convey my order, hurry up!"

The old grandma didn't dare to hesitate and left quickly.

Concubine Jade's face was full of poisonous cold light, and she spoke sarcastically: "Lin Ruoyou, you can escape the plot, do you think your mother can also escape? As long as she can become the emperor's woman, she will be in my hands. An important chess piece!"

Lin Ruoyou didn't know that her mother was going to be in danger again. She was worried about why Xiao Sheng hadn't come back after being out for so long.

When there was finally movement outside, she went out without even putting on her shoes.

Xiao Sheng, who had just bathed and changed clothes, felt heartbroken when he saw her like this.

He quickly picked her up and said worriedly: "Why don't you wear shoes and socks? You were already injured, so don't catch the cold again!"

Lin Ruoyou nestled in his arms obediently, reached out and grabbed his clothes tightly and asked: "Where is Xiao Rui? Is he dead?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Xiao Sheng's face, and he frowned and replied: "I stabbed him with two arrows with my own hands. Logically speaking, they were both fatal injuries, but he was on the edge of the cliff at the time and rolled down directly. I sent Iron Stone Search there, if you want to see people alive, or if you want to see corpses!"

Before Lin Ruoyou could say anything, she heard Tie Shi's voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty, the body has been found, but because of the severe scratches on the face, the original appearance can no longer be seen. From the clothes and the The jade pendant can tell that he is King Qin!”

Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly: "As you wish, Xiao Rui is dead!"

Lin Ruoyou's body was trembling slightly, and she begged in a trembling voice: "Mr. Sheng, please take me to see his body, please?"

She was brutally killed by him in her last life. In this life, only after seeing his body could she truly get out of the nightmare.

"Okay, then I'll help you put on your shoes and socks!" Xiao Sheng agreed fondly.

He knelt down and stroked her delicate white jade feet with his slender fingers.

She blushed immediately and subconsciously ducked back: "Sheng Lang, don't do this, I can do it myself!"

He raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes burning with deep affection.

He said in a hoarse voice: "You are my future princess. Why not wear some shoes and socks for you?"

She didn't know if it was because his fingers were too hot, or because she was too shy, but her nervous toes were curled up a bit.

Fortunately, Xiao Sheng moved quickly and helped her put on her socks and shoes in just a moment.

She glanced at him secretly, her pretty face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

She secretly wondered, would he dislike her?

Even as he was worrying about gains and losses, he still leaned forward and picked her up.

She nervously hugged his neck: "I can walk on my own!"

He refused without hesitation: "No, aren't you injured?"

Lin Ruoyou secretly stuck out her tongue. She was injured, yes, but her injured arm was not her leg.

Walking is totally fine!

Forget it, he is very strong anyway, so just hug him if you want.

Ever since she was injured, she had been carried around by him like this, and all the maids and maids in Lanxin Palace were used to it.

He carried her outside the temple and saw a body covered with a straw mat on a board not far away.

Tie Shi said worriedly: "Miss Lin, the corpse is too horrific to look at. Are you sure you want to see it?"

Lin Ruoyou nodded heavily: "Yes, I must watch it!"

Tie Shi didn't stop him anymore and quickly opened the straw mat.

To say the corpse was unrecognizable would be an understatement. The entire face was no longer there, replaced by a large blood puddle, which looked extremely horrifying.

Looking further down, there is a bloody hole between his heart and mouth.

Xiao Sheng explained: "I stabbed it with my own hands!"

Lin Ruoyou continued to look down and found the jade pendant hanging on his waist that could prove his identity.

She couldn't help but frown, why was everything on his body damaged but the jade pendant that was most easily broken was fine?

It's like it was hung on purpose.

Noticing that her expression was a little serious, Xiao Sheng asked doubtfully: "You'er, what's wrong with you?"

She shook her head: "It's okay, I might have been frightened by the corpse!"

She did not continue to look at the body, but said loudly: "Since he is dead, then throw the body into a mass grave to feed the wild dogs!"

"Yes!" Tie Shi quickly took the order and left.

Xiao Sheng sent her back to the dormitory, and she spoke eagerly: "Mr. Sheng, that's not Xiao Rui's body. Someone must have deliberately let us find it to confuse you!"

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but frown. According to the scene at that time, Xiao Rui would never survive if he rolled down the cliff. Even if he was rescued, ordinary people would not be able to treat those two fatal injuries. .

Besides, his plan was extremely meticulous. Except for him and his subordinates, no one else knew about it. How could they rescue Xiao Rui in time?

Seeing his doubts, Lin Ruoyou quickly explained: "One of the doubts is the jade pendant. According to common sense, it should break into pieces, but it is tied in the most visible position, as if to tell us that it is identity of!"

Xiao Sheng thought about it carefully and found that the jade pendant was really a bit unexpected.

Then Lin Ruoyou spoke again: "The second doubt is that Xiao Rui knows some martial arts, but the calluses on the palms of his hands are not so thick. The most important thing is that he handles government affairs with a pen all the year round, so there should be some on his thumbs. It’s just wear and tear, but the deceased didn’t!”

Xiao Sheng's eyes were filled with confusion. He never thought that one day he would be deceived.

He said coldly: "Then I will send people to continue the search!"

Lin Ruoyou threw herself into his arms without hesitation and said, "No, since we have recognized this body, the people in the dark will definitely relax their vigilance. I just saw clearly that the two swords you thrust out, Even if it doesn't kill him directly, it will make him unable to survive. Unless the other party is a miracle doctor, he will never be allowed to stand up in a short time!"

Xiao Sheng stretched out his hand and patted her back to comfort her: "Okay, then I will send someone to investigate thoroughly in secret, so as not to alert the snake first!"

Lin Ruoyou's eyes flashed with a chill of murder. She didn't expect that Xiao Rui, besides the Chen family, had such powerful forces behind him. Moreover, since they knew Xiao Sheng's plan, they must have arranged spies around him.

For the current plan, it is most important to lure out the spy first.

Obviously, Xiao Sheng also expected this.

He lowered his voice and frowned and said, "There is something wrong with the people around me..."
