Chapter 179 Those who know me are my dearest

Ye Xun'an knew that he had heard everything just now, but he just couldn't believe it.

Not only Xiao Jingheng, no one would believe it.

The reason why the Huo family army, which was once brave and good at fighting, suffered such a devastating defeat was because they had lost their ability to fight.

“You heard it right. The Huo family army was most likely poisoned back then, so we Bei Ming was able to march straight down.

But we don't know what kind of poison was used or how it was administered.

This is your own business, Nanli, and you need to investigate it yourself. This is all I know."

Xiao Jingheng stood in front of the door, Ye Xun'an's words echoing in his mind.

The Huo family army was poisoned and lost their ability to fight, so they lost.

There was no collusion with Bei Ming to commit treason, this was a complete conspiracy.

A full 100,000-man army, who did this?

His hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his whole body was filled with hostility.

Ye Xun'an looked at Xiao Jingheng with some concern, but it was not easy for him to persuade him given his status.

Song Shiwei came over and said to Ye Xun'an, "You go back with Sister Qin first. I'll stay with him."

Ye Xun'an nodded and followed Qin Yueyao.

Song Shiwei pulled Xiao Jingheng to sit down and persuaded him, "Don't be like this. Anyway, we have found some clues. I believe we are not far from the truth."

Xiao Jingheng closed his eyes and uttered two words: "Food and grass."

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and said, "You mean someone tampered with the food."

She remembered that Shen Linchuan's father, Shen Xiuwen, was responsible for transporting food and fodder for the Huo family army, but later Shen Xiuwen slipped and fell off a cliff.

All kinds of coincidences came together to gradually piece together a piece of the truth.

"It was Shen Linchuan's father. Someone bribed him to poison the food, and that person killed people to silence them afterwards!"

Song Shiwei looked at Xiao Jingheng in shock.

"It was done by the Sun family."

Xiao Jingheng's eyes darkened, and his tone was not one of speculation but of certainty.

He said: "Based on the clue that Shen Linchuan was connected with the Crown Prince, we can infer that it was the Sun family who ordered Shen Linchuan's father to poison."

Song Shiwei felt that Xiao Jingheng's guess was not unreasonable, and the most direct beneficiaries after the Huo family's accident were Queen Sun and her son.

But she still had a question in her mind: "Why did Queen Sun's father and brother die anyway?"

Since the father and son of the Sun family planned such a conspiracy, they must have wanted to marry into the Huo family and replace them, but they both died on the battlefield and became heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Xiao Jingheng raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten who went to support the Sun family father and son?"

Song Shiwei's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in shock. She lowered her voice and said, "Are you saying that the Sun family father and son were most likely killed by Yongning Hou?"

After all, Marquis Yongning hated the Sun family to the core. Now that he had such an opportunity, how could he let it go easily?

Xiao Jingheng took a deep breath and said, "Although it's just our guess, I think it should be about the same. Now all we lack is the evidence in Shen Linchuan's hands."

Song Shiwei said: "If we want to get the evidence in Shen Linchuan's hands, we need to overthrow the prince first.

Only if Shen Linchuan feels that the prince's ship has sunk, will he turn to you."

Xiao Jingheng looked at Song Shiwei with a touch of relief in his eyes: "The one who knows me is you, Qingqing."

They really are in sync with each other and even have exactly the same ideas.

Song Shiwei held his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will always be with you, so don't always be suspicious and think that I will leave you."

She reached out and hugged Jamel Xiao, leaning on his shoulder and said, “Even if I find my biological father, you will always be the most important in my heart.”

Xiao Jingheng's heart moved. He hugged Song Shiwei tightly with a little force, lowered his head and gently kissed her hair, calling her name with a tender and affectionate voice: "Qingqing."

There is a brilliant glow outside the window.

In the private room of Qingfeng Tower, Qin Muyan stared at Ye Xun'an back and forth.

Ye Xun'an, who was sitting opposite him, was drinking tea leisurely.

"Are you really the Prince of Bei Ming?"

Qin Muyan asked him.

Ye Xun'an said: "It's absolutely genuine."

"No wonder."

Qin Muyan said: "I have searched all over Nanli but couldn't find you. It turns out you are from Beiming.

But then again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really brave enough to dare to trespass into our Nanli alone. This shows that he does not take our Nanli seriously. "

After hearing this, Qin Yueyao winked at her brother, asking him to be more careful with his words, but Qin Muyan pretended not to see it.

Ye Xun'an was not angry either. He smiled and said, "If I wasn't brave enough, you wouldn't have a sister."

This sentence choked Qin Muyan to the point of being speechless.

He gritted his teeth and asked his sister: "Are you sure it was him? You were so young back then, maybe you remembered it wrongly."

Qin Yueyao held her forehead and called out angrily, "Brother."

"I'm afraid you'll be cheated, so I have to ask you carefully."

Qin Muyan coughed lightly, picked up the tea in front of him and said to Ye Xun'an: "I'll use tea instead of wine to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my sister that year."

Ye Xun'an asked him with a smile: "How do you plan to thank me, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Muyan, who had just taken a sip of tea, was obviously choked by the tea. He looked up at Ye Xun'an and was caught off guard by his question.

He stared at Ye Xun'an warily and asked, "How do you want to thank me?"

Ye Xun'an shrugged: "I haven't thought about it yet. Why don't I tell you, Mr. Qin, when I have thought about it?"

He smiled and stood up: "It will take some time for our Beiming envoys to arrive in Beijing. I'm sorry to bother you during this time, Mr. Qin. May I ask where I'm staying?"

Qin Muyan said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince will have to stay here for now."

He called someone in to take Ye Xun'an downstairs to rest.

As soon as the others left, Qin Muyan sat next to Qin Yueyao and said, "Sister, I think this Bei Ming Crown Prince has bad intentions. You must be careful and don't be fooled by his face."

Qin Yueyao rolled her eyes: "Why, you are not worried about your princess, but you are worried about me?

If you were asked to choose between Her Royal Highness and me, what would you choose?

Qin Muyan exploded immediately. He shouted angrily: "What do you choose? I want both. No matter who he targets, I will not be polite to him."

As he spoke, his fists clenched into a creaking sound.

Qin Yueyao patted his hands and said, "Don't be so surprised, big brother is not the kind of person you think.

You can rest assured that no one can take your princess away from you."

If Bei Ming really wanted to marry, the only person he would take away would be Song Shiwei.

Only in this way can she go back and reunite with her father with a legitimate reason.

She didn’t know if it was because of the story Ye Xun’an told her, but she felt depressed and uncomfortable.

Qin Yueyao stood up and said, "I'm going back. You take good care of big brother and don't bully him."
