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

"Prince Xiao." Xiao Yanzhou, who noticed that he had not spoken yet, reminded him in surprise.

He calmed his anxious heart and then began to talk about the results of the investigation.

From beginning to end, as well as the source and destination of raw materials, no one can do all of this except for a few people with the highest official positions.

He even threw out all the previous evidence. Although he did not say it explicitly, he gradually narrowed the scope. The person with the greatest suspicion was the current prime minister, Jiang Zhuo.

Xiao Yanzhou paid attention to her expression while speaking, but she was much calmer than he imagined, even too calm, as if she had known it for a long time.

Her eyes were cold and she spoke softly, "Brother Zhou, did those people who were caught say anything?"

She asked this question on purpose. Under the current circumstances, Jiang Zhuo should want to pin all the evidence on Yan Qing.

"I've already said it." But Xiao Yanzhou was not in a hurry to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanqing seemed to understand what she meant and responded decisively, "Your Majesty, I guess the mastermind those people are talking about should be me."

Xiao Yanzhou lowered his eyebrows cautiously, "It seems that you have also noticed something."

"Since the person all the evidence points to is the person I hate the most, it is only reasonable for him to turn all the blame on me."

"Prince Xiao!" Xiao Yanzhou suddenly raised his voice to stop him. If the previous words were a hint, then this sentence was a clear indication.

As he leaned over, he paid attention to her situation again, and finally lowered his head slightly, "I am sorry for talking too much."

"Let's go out first."

"Yes."

Hearing his voice, she raised her eyes again and watched him leave.

"Xiao Yu..." Xiao Yanzhou looked at her worriedly. With her intelligence, she must have guessed it, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

Even if the worst happened, what would it feel like if his father wanted him to die? He clearly couldn't feel the pain, but he was worried that she would be sad.

"It's okay, Brother Zhou." Her emotions did not fluctuate, and she still showed a gentle smile as usual.

But the more she does this, the more it means she wants to take it all on her own.

He reached out and hugged her, "Xiao Yu, they don't love you, but Brother Zhou loves you."

She was slightly stunned; his worry and concern were so real.

"Yes, Brother Youzhou." After calming down, she gently stroked his back.

But the smile in her eyes became more greedy and morbid, because she knew clearly that she had never had anyone.

All the love was earned by her choices. No one likes an incompetent person, no one.

He let go of her hands and rubbed her face. He was clearly the one comforting her, but this silly Xiao Yu was comforting himself instead.

"Xiao Yu has the answer in her mind?" She must have her own ideas.

"kindness."

"Xiao Yu doesn't doubt King Xiao?"

"Prince Xiao, there is no reason to open a powder factory privately." She analyzed the matter from an objective perspective.

"The manufacture of gunpowder is undoubtedly for three things: power, military force, and money. King Xiao already has these three things. If he wants to expand one of them, he will definitely not use such a stupid method."

He caught the key points in her words, along with her gradually darkening pupils.

"Stupid... What method do you think is the best?"

"What method..." She gradually immersed herself in her own thoughts.

What is the way to maximize power?

Suddenly, she searched for the answer in her mind, "Cooperation! And..."

"Hiss..." A feeling of dizziness stopped her from saying anything.

"Xiao Yu! What's wrong?"

Seeing her closing her eyes and covering her head, Xiao Yanzhou instantly became nervous.

"It's okay, I just have a headache."

He quickly helped her lie down, "Don't think about Xiaoyu, leave the rest to Brother Zhou."

She lay in bed, but the answer she just received could not be shaken off her mind.

"Brother Zhou..."

"what happened?"

She looked at him. Perhaps Jiang Zhuo's ambition was beyond their imagination, but would he help her without hesitation now?

She didn't ask the question because she knew the answer.

No, for an emperor who puts interests and authority first, he would not do that, even if the facts were laid out before him.

Just like Yan Qing, he would not give up everything to love her, nor would he stand by her unconditionally.

She pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, for always being with me."

"Silly Xiaoyu, you have done so many dangerous things. Brother Zhou just hopes that you will get better soon, okay?" He covered her with a blanket.

"Okay." She agreed obediently.

"Go to sleep."

He stayed by her side, but what happened just now once again deepened his doubts.

If it was really Jiang Zhuo's doing, she would not feel sad at all, and would not be afraid when facing Xiao Yanqing.

He felt that Xiao Yanqing's gaze was always on Xiao Yu.

Did Xiao Yu really conspire with Xiao Yanqing? But this question could not be confirmed.

Because of Xiao Yanqing's hatred for the Jiang family, how could he possibly believe Xiao Yu?

……

About two hours later, Jiang Zhuo estimated the time, finished the things at hand, and came to her house to put on a good show.

"Your Majesty! How is my daughter?!" Jiang Zhuo rushed over anxiously, looking like a man who loves his daughter dearly.

"Master Jiang, don't worry. The princess is fine now." He Yi explained for him.

Jiang Zhuo pretended to be relieved, "That's great, thank you Your Majesty for taking care of me."

The indifference in Xiao Yanzhou's eyes was covered with hatred, and his tone gradually became heavier, "Xiao Yu is my most beloved sister. It is my duty to take care of her and protect her."

Jiang Zhuo's expression flashed a little strange, but he immediately returned to normal, "Your Majesty is right, but Your Majesty has been tired all day, why not let Qingyu's aunt take care of her."

"No need. I want to stay with Xiaoyu. We still don't know the murderer's purpose, and Xiaoyu must not get into trouble again." How could he be at ease to hand Xiaoyu over to Jiang Zhuo.

"Your Majesty... But Qingyu is the daughter of an old minister. How can I let Your Majesty worry about me again and again?"

"I said, Xiaoyu is also my sister." He repeated again, and his firm tone did not allow Jiang Zhuo to refuse again.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jiang Zhuo paused and continued, "Your Majesty, let me investigate the murderer. I will never let anyone who hurt Qing Yu go!"

Jiang Zhuo pretended to grit his teeth, it seemed that his acting was extremely clumsy.

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang. The truth has been handed over to Prince Xiao and the Ministry of Justice. There will be a result soon."

"But..." Jiang Zhuo was obviously not satisfied with this arrangement.

He decisively interrupted Jiang Zhuo and said, "I have other matters that need to be taken care of by Lord Jiang. The previous matters have not been properly handled. I will have to trouble Lord Jiang."

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, he had no choice but to accept the order, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command."

"Your Majesty, I want to see Qing Yu."

"Xiao Yu has already fallen asleep."

"Your Majesty, I am really worried about my daughter. I just want to make sure she is okay."

Seeing that he didn't agree, Jiang Zhuo was about to kneel on the ground and beg. After careful consideration, he decided to go in and check on her condition first.
