Chapter 643: The Person Behind the Scenes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Xiaoxiao was sleeping soundly with the little packrat in her arms when there was suddenly a commotion outside the house. She turned around in a daze, let go of the little packrat, and crawled into Wei Ting’s arms.

The sudden hug made Wei Ting’s heart soften.

She had come at the wrong time.

He frowned and looked unhappily at the closed door.

“Young Master…”

“Got it.”

Wei Ting replied in a low voice. The guard outside the door did not say anything else.

Wei Ting didn’t wake Su Xiaoxiao and the three little fellows up. He put on his clothes and opened the door. “What happened?” The guard reported, “Helian Ye was killed this morning.”

Wei Ting was a little surprised. “Killed?”

The guard said, “He’s being resuscitated, but the imperial physician said… he can’t be saved.”

Wei Ting glanced at him. “This isn’t an expression of good news.”

The guard had a complicated expression. “Young Master, you’ll know when you take a look.”

Wei Liulang also heard the commotion and went to the courtyard of the Northern Yan envoy with Wei Ting.

All the countries had brought imperial physicians and showed them to Helian Ye. No one dared to say anything.

The Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty had a cold expression.

Why was she so angry that Helian Ye was dead?

Wei Ting met the gaze of the Princess of Western Jin in confusion.

“Come with me for a moment.’

Her eyes hinted.

Wei Ting left Helian Ye’s courtyard. Wei Liulang stood guard for the two of them nearby.

The Princess of Western Jin went straight to the point. “Moxie has been captured. ”

Wei Ting asked, “Did Moxie kill him?”

“You think so too, right?” The Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty’s expression was very solemn. “Yesterday, at the hunting ground, Xin’er, the Protector Duke, and the Grand Empress Dowager were attacked by a wave of wolves. There was something wrong with those wolves butl didn’t take it to heart. After all, they might have come for the Protector Duke or the Grand Empress Dowager. But something happened to Moxie this morning.”

With this, Wei Ting understood that someone was framing the Princess of the Western Jin.

The Princess of Western Jin said, “If one of my people killed Helian Ye, the possibility of me forming an alliance with Northern Yan is completely gone. More importantly, I will be punished by my father when I return and lose my right to compete for the throne.”

Wei Ting said meaningfully, “Yes…”

The Princess of Western Jin said coldly, “That’s right. My good brother did it. Princess Changle of Northern Yan married him as his secondary consort. They joined forces to set a trap for me.”

Wei Ting did not add insult to injury, nor did he take advantage of the

situation. He knew the strength of the Princess of Western Jin very well. A dragon was still a dragon after all.

“Of course, you can refuse,” the Princess of Western Jin said.

Wei Ting said, “No, my intention to form an alliance with Your Highness has never changed.”

Help in times of need naturally yielded greater returns.

Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by Wei Ting.

“Who did you say we have to save?” she asked in a daze, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.

Wei Ting sighed. “Helian Ye.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, “Why are you saving him?”

Wei Ting thought to himself that he didn’t want to save him either, but for the sake of the big picture, this guy’s life had to be preserved. “He was assassinated… He’s not dead yet but at his last breath. Someone saw Moxie come out of his room with a sword and insisted that Moxie was the murderer. He even said that Moxie was the one who injured him in the forest.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Moxie came out long ago.”

Wei Ting told her what he had learned. “He was meditating alone in his room. No one gave him an alibi.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “What did Moxie say? Why did he go to Helian Ye’s room?”

Wei Ting said, “He sensed an unfamiliar aura passing by and followed.” Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. “Passing by?”

Wei Ting explained the terrain of the palace. “The murderer might have infiltrated from the south. If we want to go to the residence of the envoy of the Northern Yan, we have to pass through the bedroom of the envoy of the

Western Jin. Moxie even fought with the other party, but for some reason,

Moxie’s mind suddenly went blank. When he regained consciousness, Helian Ye had already been killed. He was holding the murder weapon. That was not his sword. His sword had disappeared.”

Su Xiaoxiao analyzed, “The murderer took his sword away and killed Helian Ye with his own weapon to frame Moxie. However, the murderer didn’t expect Helian Ye to survive.”

Wei Ting felt that it was close to the mark and not far off.

Helian Ye was really lucky. He was not dead after being stabbed by Ghostfear and he was not dead after being stabbed by the murderer.

After Su Xiaoxiao finished sighing, she asked Wei Ting, “Do you really think it was done by the Eldest Prince of Western Jin and another branch of Northern

Yan?”

Wei Ting narrowed his eyes and said, “To be honest, I’m not too sure, but the Princess of Western Jin will be implicated. Without a doubt, Moxie will also be questioned.”

“What bad luck does Moxie have…

Su Xiaoxiao had a good impression of Moxie. She didn’t want to lose a follow appreciator of music.

She thought of something and said, “By the way, I met Zhang Feng in the forest yesterday. He’s the Eldest Princess’s man. All these years, he’s been lurking beside MO Guiyuan to wait for an opportunity to take back the previous emperor’s edict. On the day MO Guiyuan fled, he succeeded. However, he seemed to be worried that he would be silenced by the Eldest Princess and looked for Zhao Kangning to make a deal. Unfortunately, he was still killed by the Eldest Princess’s men.”

Wei Ting paused. “You’re saying that the Eldest Princess’s people sneaked into the forest? Then last night… it might be that group of people who came to kill

Helian Ye.”

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “I guess so. I just can’t figure out why the Eldest

Princess killed Helian Ye to silence him. Isn’t Helian Ye her biological son? Even if he’s a fake son, he’s still useful.”

Then, she could continue to fabricate and brainwash Helian Ye. Anyway, Helian Ye was a stupid idiot.

Wait.

Fabricating… brainwashing…

The person who came last night… Could it be Grandmaster Hui Jue?

Had she finally shown herself?

Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she had quietly returned to the capital.

If she came personally, something must have happened between her and Helian Ye that forced her to kill Helian Ye to silence him.

It seemed that the only way to uncover the truth was to wake Helian Ye up first. Wei Ting handed the first aid kit to Su Xiaoxiao. “We’re here.”

Under the corridor, Zhao Kangning saw Su Xiaoxiao, who had been brought over by Eunuch Fu.

She asked angrily, “What are you doing here?”

Eunuch Fu said politely, “Princess Kangning, Physician Su is here to treat General Helian’s injuries.”

Zhao Kangning’s eyes were red and swollen. He said mockingly, “Even the imperial physician can’t treat her. Are you trying to kill my uncle by asking a little girl to come over?”

Su Xiaoxiao hit the nail on the head. “Do I still need to harm him?” Zhao Kangning choked.

The imperial physicians had long announced that the resuscitation was ineffective and asked the Prince of Northern Yan and Zhao Kangning to prepare for the funeral…

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered with Zhao Kangning anymore. She carried the medicine box into Helian Ye’s room.

Zhao Kangning reacted and took a step forward. “You…”

Bang!

The door closed tightly in front of her, and the bolt was inserted.

‘Qin! I don’t care who you are! If you dare to kill my uncle, I’ll kill you even if I don’t have to be the princess anymore!”

Su Xiaoxiao ignored Zhao Kangning’s clamor. She came to the bed, took out the first aid kit from the medicine box, and began to treat Helian Ye’s injuries..
