After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

After knocking on the desk twice, Shen Jinmo asked, "What do you think?"

Xun Zhan smiled meaningfully. Without Xie Nanxing, the Shen family was directly defeated by those with ulterior motives in this Divine Capital?

Xun Zhan didn't believe it, but it was obvious that Shen Jinmo wanted him to believe it.

Thinking that the words mentioned about Xia Hong just now were not stopped by Shen Jinmo, Xun Zhan already knew who the master of this secret line was.

"You scared my Xiaojiu during the game about Han Zhou's death. Also, Xiaojiu got beaten for Xie Nanxing before. You should apologize to my Xiaojiu."

The chessboard was spread out, and Shen Jinmo placed the chess pieces one by one on the black and white chessboard.

Xun Zhan's eyes suddenly became serious: "Shen Jinmo, what do you want to do?"

"Xun Zhan, you never learn your lesson and always threaten me with Xie Nanxing."

He messed up the chessboard in front of him, and then placed four chess pieces, three black and three white, in the corners of the chessboard.

"It wouldn't be a big deal if I helped you in this round, but you disturbed my sweet dream today, so I don't want to help you anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ping, along with four guards, took Xun Zhan out.

With the intention of venting his anger, Mo Ping ordered the guards to throw Xun Zhan to the ground with a bit of force.

It was not until the door of the mansion was closed for a while that Xun, who was aching all over, stood up and walked towards the prime minister's residence despite the sympathy of the people around him.

At three quarters past midnight, footprints appeared in the secret passage that had not been visited for a long time.

Standing in the secret passage were Xun Zhan and Xia Yu, and following them into the secret room was Shen Jinmo.

Wandering around in silence, the dusty secret room of the Xiaoyao Palace was covered with cobwebs and dust.

Xun Zhan lit the candle with a fire stick, then turned around and held Xia Yu's hand and put it into his sleeve.

"Is it cold?"

Xia Yu nodded: "It's a little cold, but I can bear it."

The word "idiot" popped up in Shen Jinmo's mind again. With Xia Yu's current Kung Fu skills and the thick clothes he was wearing, how could he tell whether he was cold or not?

With his sharp yet sinister eyes he looked quietly at the two people in front of him, until they felt so uneasy that they dared not do anything stupid again, and then Shen Jinmo frowned.

"On the night of Xia Ling's wedding, I want to take a risk and use Xia Ling to kill Xia Hong."

After Xun Zhan finished speaking, Shen Jinmo saw firm support in Xia Yu's eyes.

They had to come and meet Shen Jinmo today. Not to mention making Shen Jinmo their helper, at least they didn't want Xia Hong to escape death at the crucial moment.

"Your Highness, you have diverted the trouble to others. If you fail to kill the emperor as you wish, what will you do?"

Xia Yu was silent, so Xun Zhan spoke for him: "Then Xia Ling will be killed, Han Hou and Han Shu will be exiled, and finally my brother will be demoted because of the incident involving the officials in the East Palace."

He and Xia Yu couldn't escape, so he let his brother go first to see the sky and enjoy the land.

Shen Jinmo asked again: "If the time, place and people are right, and Xia Hong's death is imminent, will Xia Ling really succeed?"

"By then, you will be in the position of the Eastern Palace, Han Shu will be the Crown Princess, and you will have the power in the army and the support of the people in the Divine Capital. Can you ensure that the forces in your hands, which have been exploited for a round, can really trap Xia Ling?"

Two dogs fight, play off.

Xun Zhan and Xia Ling both want to be the fisherman, but judging from the current situation, the one who will be the fisherman in the end is Xia Hong.

Whoever made the move on the wedding night, his blood would be spilled on the blue bricks of the Meridian Gate.

The situation has come to this point, Shen Jinmo can no longer disrupt his own rhythm in order to save anyone.

The two hands were crossed under the sleeves, with fingers interlocked.

Xun Zhan and Xia Yu both knew that they were taking a risk.

But these days of living in fear with one's head hanging on the edge of a knife are too hopeless.

In the silent secret room, Shen Jinmo's assertion came: "Xun Zhan, you are too anxious."

He was so anxious that he was used by Xia Ling and became a pawn in Xia Ling's hands.

Xia Yu took Xun Zhan's hand and sat down together, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xun Zhan's palm: "Wang Heng thinks Xia Ling is also going to use this wedding day to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Shen Jinmo asked back: "Everyone thinks Xia Ling will take action on the wedding day. Will Xia Ling really give this day his last chance to fight back?"

Xia Yu asked, "But once he marries Han Shu, he will completely lose his value. Every day Xia Hong stays in Xia Ling means that the military power may be in Xia Ling's hands."

Shen Jinmo: "All the foreign nations are here, and the entire court is witnessing this. Do you think Xia Hong will expose this shame to the surrounding small nations?"

Xia Ling could be dealt with at any time, there was no need for Xia Hong to choose this time.

But if Xia Ling wanted to take this opportunity to kill the king, the situation would be completely different.

Killing one person to warn the rest and intimidating foreign nations will naturally lead to the successful conclusion.

The hand holding the armrest turned white from the force, and Xun Zhan was still frightened: "So this wedding is Xia Hong's way of testing the hearts of the civil and military officials in the court, and Xia Ling is going to use Xiao Jiu as a sacrifice to the heaven."

Shen Jinmo gave a firm response: "Han Shu took the initiative to propose to enhance our country's prestige. From the moment Xia Hong nodded, this wedding day was just a trap."

Han Zhou's death prompted Xun Zhan to kill all the suspicious people in the Divine Capital. However, after he realized that there was no one left to kill, Xie Nanxing was unexpectedly taken away from the Divine Capital while Shen Jinmo was recuperating.

What made Xun Zhan even more unacceptable was that after Xie Nanxing left Shendu, there was no news at all.

These two things made Xun Zhan's heart start to panic.

He couldn't see the person behind the scenes clearly, so he wanted to point his sword directly at Xia Hong.

If it were the person sitting on the dragon throne, it would be safer to deal with Xia Ling than Xia Hong.

Compared with letting Xia Yu sleep soundly, the life and death of the civil and military officials in the court seemed insignificant.

It was not until today when he forced himself to meet Shen Jinmo and used Xie Nanxing as bait to test him that Xun Zhan realized that Shen Jinmo had spent so much effort on this move just to get Xie Nanxing out of danger.

Xia Yu tugged at Xun Zhan's sleeve. Xun Zhan pursed his lips, stood up and said to Shen Jinmo: "Shen Jinmo, thank you very much."

If Shen Jinmo didn't want to, Xun Zhan wouldn't be able to use that little bit of unconfirmed evidence to find out any information about Xie Nanxing.

Today is Shen Jinmo’s day of grace.

His eyes were deep, and even though the three of them already knew the truth, Shen Jinmo still wanted to put his words out in the open.

"Xie Nanxing is no match for King Ming, so don't have any inappropriate thoughts about him in the future."

"You carelessly waved your hands and landed on his body. He couldn't bear it."

The situation was set up by Shen Jinmo, and the debt should be repaid by Shen Jinmo.

As for Xun Zhan, who would hold on to someone's weak spot and wouldn't let go, since he couldn't hurt Shen Jinmo, wouldn't he just want to give him a taste of his own medicine?

The three of them parted ways in the secret passage, and Xun Zhan muttered softly: "He is quite affectionate."

He turned around to look at the figure walking alone in the darkness and said, "Don't get too close to him in the future. He has a very difficult life too."

Xun Zhancai disagreed with this statement and firmly protected his only weak spot. Even though there was no one beside him, Shen Jinmo's heart was calmer than ever before.

"Xiao Jiu..." He pulled Xia Yu's hand and shook it gently: "It was obviously him who bullied me first, have you forgotten?"

He took Xia Yu's hand and touched his butt: "When Bai Ri was thrown out by Mo Ping, my butt was hit and it hurt so much."
