Hall of Qinzheng

Xiao Qi held the jade pendant with a gloomy expression, and looked at Shen Qingxu in confusion: "Qingxu, what is this?"

"As Your Majesty can see, this jade pendant was taken away by someone when I was investigating a case while I was in the south. That's when I returned to Beijing last time. The scars all over my body were caused by that time."

At that time, Shen Qingxu was tortured by the thief. She finally gathered enough strength to break free from the shackles. With the help of the dwarf kidnapper, she knocked down everyone. The dwarf kidnapper took the opportunity to knock out the man in black. It was at that time that the jade pendant fell from the man in black. Later, Mu Yunzhou picked up the jade pendant and gave it to Xu Xingyi, who placed the jade pendant in Qinghua Mansion.

"There is a pattern on the mask of the man in black, which is similar to the pattern on the jade pendant. I don't know what it is, but Xu Xingyi also said at the time that their target was never me. They just wanted to take advantage of the importance my sister has placed on me and get the Thousand Machine Skills in my sister's hand."

Xiao Qi recalled that time when Shen Qingxu came back unconscious with scars all over her body. If what Shen Qingxu said was true, then with Shen Qingxu's personality, she must have been covered in scars because she didn't want to become Shen Qiuchi's weakness.

Fortunately, Shen Qiuchi still doesn't know what happened. Otherwise, considering Shen Qiuchi's doting on Shen Qingxu, the capital would be turned upside down again.

After all, Xiao Qi is the emperor. Apart from these eye-witness evidences, Shen Qingxu did not tell Xiao Qi about his guess. The man in black seemed to have close contacts with the Zuqiang Kingdom, and the people who wanted to kill Xiao Qi and Shen Qiuchi seemed to be members of the Xiao family.

However, regarding this point, she thought that the emperor's brother-in-law must have known about it. After all, this jade pendant belonged to the Xiao family. As people involved in the situation, they naturally knew more about it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qingxu. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't be in danger."

Xiao Qi's expression was sincere, and Shen Qingxu could see that he was speaking from the heart.

Xiao Qi frowned again because he was worried about Shen Qiuchi's health.

"Brother-in-law, these people have already reached into the palace. You must find out. My sister and niece almost lost their lives because of this. Their safety is the most important thing right now!"

Xiao Qi nodded. He had naturally thought of this. This person was able to reach into the palace, and with this token, he could be sure that he was a member of the Xiao family.

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements! I was careless today and let your sister get hurt right under my nose. I will never let her get hurt again in the future."

Shen Qingxu nodded. She believed that the emperor's brother-in-law would arrange everything. Then she thought of another thing: "Brother-in-law, did the palace servants find out anything this time?"

"It's still under investigation, but we have some clues. Madam Jiang from the Imperial Kitchen, her son had some gambling debts, but a few days ago, her son's gambling debts were suddenly paid off, and he had some money left to buy a big house. The location of the house is the best area in the capital!"

"Could it be Nanny Jiang?" Shen Qingxu was a little bit unbelieving, "But I remember that Nanny Jiang seemed to have received favors from my sister!"

Shen Qingxu thought of what she knew.

Back then, Madam Jiang was just a handyman and was bullied by others, but she was efficient and effective in her work, so the chief steward sent her to the imperial kitchen.

Later, Shen Qiuchi couldn't eat during her pregnancy, and she found a way to make Shen Qiuchi eat.

Later, as Shen Qiuchi valued her, her status also followed that of Captain Shuigao, but she didn't expect that the person who betrayed Shen Qiuchi was actually the one who had received her favor.

"Qingxu, you have to know that in this palace, even I dare not trust anyone easily. Therefore, the hearts of people in this palace are the most unpredictable. They may be respectful to you in front of you, but stab you in the back. There are also those who are relentless and even want to see you laugh at them, but when it comes to the critical moment, they can stick to their hearts and help you in times of crisis!"

Shen Qingxu was confused and puzzled. In the original plot, Xiao Qi was just a puppet emperor. Now, the thoughts of this puppet have surpassed the original plot, and his feelings for his sister have become deeper. So, could it be that the plot has changed?
