Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

On the other hand, Jiang Zhuo received the report from the guard and smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces in anger.

"Damn it!" Jiang Zhuo cursed angrily, his eyebrows twitching.

He originally wanted to put the blame on Xiao Yanqing, but he never expected that he would return to the gunpowder shop and even almost rush into the fire to save her, thus clearing his suspicion.

"Dad, what should we do now?!" Jiang Mo on the side was also anxious and at a loss.

"Why is this happening? Xiao Yanqing actually returned to the gunpowder workshop!" He had never expected such a situation to occur.

"Father, is there any deal between Xiao Yanqing and Jiang Qingyu?"

"Perhaps, Xiao Yanqing guessed it, and in order to prevent such a situation from happening, he deliberately staged a drama of sacrificing his life for justice in the gunpowder workshop?" Jiang Mo said out the various possibilities he guessed.

Jiang Zhuo tried to calm down and thought about what Jiang Mo said, "A deal is unlikely. With Xiao Yanqing's personality, there is no way he would trust Jiang Qingyu."

"As for whether you guessed it... it's possible. His Majesty loves Jiang Qingyu so much now. If Jiang Qingyu is rescued, it will undoubtedly win His Majesty's heart."

In addition, he is about to lose the trust of His Majesty, which is even more likely at this critical moment.

"Then Dad, what should we do?" Jiang Mo became anxious upon hearing this.

Jiang Zhuo sat down. While he was thinking, the maid had already cleaned the room and brought new tea.

"What about your majesty? What's your reaction?"

"His Majesty has been accompanying Jiang Qingyu at his residence. I heard from the guards that His Majesty is very angry and has ordered Xiao Yanqing to find out the truth."

He lowered his eyes and frowned, "Have you dealt with all the people?"

"Yes, those who don't need to stay have been dealt with, and the rest have also left Yongqing City."

After hearing Jiang Mo's explanation, his anger gradually faded from his expression, "It doesn't matter, even Xiao Yanqing can't find any evidence."

"Dad is right. Even if there was evidence, it would have been blown up."

He laughed, revealing the meanness and cunningness in his heart, "Heh, the most important thing is that the person who almost died was Jiang Qingyu."

"Your Majesty can suspect anyone except him."

In his eyes, everyone is climbing the ladder of power, including his closest relatives.

……

After dinner, He Yi came to report the situation, and Xiao Yanzhou naturally avoided her.

"Xiao Yanqing wants to rush into the sea of ​​fire to save Xiaoyu?" This result made him feel unbelievable.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Many people saw it at the time, and it was Prince Xiao who arranged for people to look for the princess afterwards."

There are too many suspicious points in this news. There is no way to find out the relationship between Xiao Yu and Xiao Yanqing. Even Xiao Yu is unwilling to mention him.

What secrets are there between them? Is Xiao Yanqing using Xiao Yu?

"The Ministry of Justice has already tortured those arrested by Prince Xiao, and they have all confessed." He Yi lowered his eyebrows, as if the answer made him feel embarrassed.

"Say what you heard," he gestured.

"Yes, they didn't say it explicitly, but according to what they said, that person is... King Xiao."

"Heh." Hearing this answer, he snorted uncontrollably, "You mean, Prince Xiao directed and acted out this good show for me?"

Obviously, this result could not satisfy him, not because this person was King Xiao, but because after comparing with the evidence, it was full of loopholes. It was obvious that they were asked to say this on purpose.

He Yi went on to explain, "I think if Prince Xiao is not the murderer behind the scenes, then those people probably don't know who is behind it."

He believes that although there is no result, he is getting closer to the truth.

"Continue to interrogate them until they tell the truth, and then investigate their home conditions."

After giving the instructions, he turned back to the room and found her getting ready to get out of bed.

"Xiao Yu!"

When Xiao Yanzhou stopped her, her heart skipped a beat and she looked at him innocently.

"Why are you awake?" He hurriedly stopped her from getting out of bed.

"I've had enough sleep. I don't want to sleep anymore."

She has been sleeping since she woke up. She wanted to know what was going on outside, but Brother Zhou didn't tell her. She wanted to see Yan Qing, but Yan Qing didn't come over.

Maybe Brother Zhou is here, so he can’t come over.

"Well, are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything else?" Xiao Yanzhou asked with concern.

She immediately smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare it." Seeing her gradually recovering her spirit, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the maid brought food.

She was eating with a bulging mouth, and suddenly remembered something, "Brother Zhou, there is one more thing."

After waking up, I was still in a daze and had completely forgotten everything.

"Could it be that Xiaoyu has any clues?" He reacted immediately.

"Well, I saw the person who caused the explosion."

His pupils suddenly contracted, "Who is it?!"

She shook her head hopelessly. "I don't know him, but I remember what he looks like."

"He Yi, call the painter immediately!"

"Wait a minute, Brother Zhou!" She suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?"

She lowered her eyes and considered, very firmly, "That person doesn't know that I saw him, so he is probably still in Yongqing City."

He suddenly understood what she meant, "Okay, I understand."

"He Yi, go find the painter. Don't let anyone else know about this. Once the painting is released, immediately seal off the city and conduct a screening."

"It's Your Majesty."

After a while, the painter drew a portrait based on her description.

She thought that given Jiang Zhuo's arrogance, this man would not be able to leave the city, and he would never be able to escape if she didn't give him the chance.

After eating, Xiao Yanzhou looked at the sky and began to urge her again.

"Xiao Yu's injury hasn't healed yet, so he needs more rest."

"Brother Zhou, I'm not sleepy yet." She muttered reluctantly.

"Just lie down and rest first, okay?"

After hesitating, she nodded, but as soon as she lay down, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing outside the house.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Yanqing leaned forward slightly.

Xiao Yanzhou was just about to get up and leave, but when he looked back he saw that she had sat up and was pulling at his sleeve.

"Brother Zhou, I want to listen too."

"But Xiao Yu..." Her injuries haven't recovered yet, and he didn't want her to know too much. Worrying... was a fact she couldn't accept. Besides, the person who reported was none other than Xiao Yanqing.

She didn't say anything, but just looked at him with pleading eyes, making it impossible for him to refuse.

He sighed inaudibly, "Xiao Yu, are you sure you want to listen?"

"Yes." She nodded firmly.

Seeing that she insisted, he finally said, "Come in."

After receiving the order, Xiao Yanqing stepped in.

Her eyes fell directly on his handsome face, his deep brows and eyes looked very tired.

Suddenly, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart. How long has it been since he had a rest?

In fact, she didn't want to listen so much as she wanted to see him and tell him that she was safe.

He also met her eyes the moment he raised his eyes, the true feelings in his eyes could not be concealed, he found the right opportunity and couldn't wait to confirm that she was okay.

But once he met her smiling eyes, he could no longer calm himself. He had clearly told him before coming in that it would be enough to just make sure she was okay.

But his desire for her was even greedier than he had imagined. He couldn't take his eyes off her and wanted to go forward and hug her tightly.

Tell her how worried and scared you are, how terrified you are of losing her, and that you never want to feel that way again.
