The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 187 Her Identity

Winter nights are still cold. The branches are dry and cannot block any wind, allowing it to blow through the gaps and turn into even sharper wind blades that scratch people's faces.

Liu He rubbed his fingers, occasionally looking in the direction where Ye Xi would come from, and he didn't even notice that his ears were frozen red.

At this moment, her heart was filled with burning joy, how could a little cold wind make her retreat?

I don't know what Xi'er will say to me. She searched the most remote place in the general's mansion. Could it be...

Liu He's face became redder and redder, perhaps because of the cold, perhaps not because of the cold.

Half an incense stick later, she finally heard footsteps. Her long-awaited heartbeat became completely active at this moment. She stood up suddenly, but then felt that it would be bad to rush out to greet Ye Xi so abruptly, so she suppressed her emotions and returned to her original position.

A figure appeared in her sight, but did not come to her. Instead, it passed by the pavilion and went straight to the wall.

Liu He became alert, and his expectant shyness was instantly suppressed. He followed quietly.

Judging from his figure, he was probably a man. He stepped on the big tree in the yard and jumped onto the top of the wall. He looked behind him carefully and then jumped down behind the wall.

Liu He saw his appearance clearly in the faint moonlight. It was Ye Lang who had been bedridden for a month?

Lin Shanjuan's instructions from the day before were still ringing in his ears, so Liu He followed without hesitation. Fortunately, Ye Lang was also walking, seemingly afraid to use a horse. This gave Liu He the opportunity to easily keep up with him.

After Ye Xi threw the note, she waited for Liu He to go out. After finally watching her leave the house, she waited for a while before sneaking into her room.

The letter is probably under the pillow, or in...

Ye Xi searched everywhere and finally found the letter in the lining of Liu He's clothes. Fortunately, she knew some southern barbarian characters, so it was not so difficult for her to read it.

Ye Lang of the General's Mansion and Grand Tutor Ji Shihan are conspiring with Nalu Han to rebel. Regardless of success or failure, Ye Lang's wife will not meet a good end. I have asked Tao'er to stay in Nanman, and you must return as soon as possible. Jingguo is facing a sudden crisis, and you alone will find it difficult to protect yourself. It would be great if you could return sooner so that your family can be reunited.

Father Wei Ming]

Ye Xi was astonished after reading it. Wei Ming? That wasn't the Nanman King's name. He asked this person to go back and said "family reunion". Could this person also be his daughter?

But it is well known that the King of Nanman has only one daughter. What is going on?

And what he said, that Ye Lang and Ji Shihan colluded with Naluhan and intended to rebel, is this true or false?

In the afternoon, she seemed hesitant to speak, and just now she was hesitant in the house. Was she struggling over whether to go back or whether to tell him the contents of the letter?

Ye Xi's mind was in a mess. She dipped the brush in ink and copied the contents of the letter. Then she put the original back unopened, put the copied letter in her arms and left.

[Peach]

She hadn't called this name for so many years that she almost forgot that her sister-in-law He Qing's real name was Liu Tao.

Now she still had an idea of ​​one thing at least, that is, her sister-in-law was fine, and had even returned to Nanman and had no plans to come back.

It turned out that this person was not wearing a human skin mask to replace my sister-in-law, but she looked very similar to my sister-in-law. Except for those very minor differences, they were exactly the same.

No wonder she dared to impersonate. Perhaps they were twins from the beginning, but the King of the Southern Barbarians did not bring this person to the public.

Ye Xi was thinking as he walked towards the Four Corner Pavilion, and even recalled the few times he and Liu Tao had sparred since they got married.

Liu Tao was no match for her, and she thought at the time that Liu Tao was deliberately giving in. Moreover, Liu Tao didn't resort to violence later, so she had no chance to fight anymore.

Now that I think about it carefully, Liu Tao's tactics are clearly very different from this person's. I blame myself for being careless and not noticing.

What about you? What's your name?

All her thoughts stopped when Ye Xi arrived at the Four-Corner Pavilion. It was late at night. She took a deep breath and made up her mind to ask Liu He clearly.

Because this no longer concerns just himself or the General's Mansion. If the content of the letter is credible, then what my brother and Ji Shihan are planning concerns the safety of Your Majesty, Your Highness, and even the country!

Ye Lang, you actually dare to do such a thing of betraying your master and seeking glory!

Ye Xi stepped into the pavilion, but it was deserted and she was the only one there.

Ye Xi was stunned and looked everywhere for him but couldn't find him. However, she clearly saw Liu He leave the house with her own eyes.

Is it possible...

When Ye Xi thought about the contents of the letter, she was confused and upset, but she couldn't remember whether Liu He had brought his luggage when he went out.

Could it be that...she really left?

Ye Xi waited in the cold wind for a long time but no one came. It was not until she heard the night watchman's drum beating outside that she became discouraged.

Yes, since she already knew the situation was turbulent, how could she continue to stay in Jingguo? Going back was the best option.

Ye Xi sighed, and his breath turned into white mist that condensed in the night, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Perhaps Liu He's presence during these few months did leave some traces, and perhaps she had already been shaken by this man's unique way of companionship.

However, even if she left, it at least proved that Ye Lang and Ji Shihan were colluding with foreign enemies. This matter could not be delayed and must be informed to His Highness immediately.

Ye Xi put aside his troublesome thoughts and rode a horse straight to the princess's residence. The night was quiet, and the sound of horse hooves on the stone pavement was crisp and rapid. Soon, he dismounted in front of the princess's residence.

"I have something important to tell His Highness. Go and pass it on!"

Lin Shanjuan's eyes were still barely open as he sat opposite Ye Xi and poured her tea, but Ye Xi was so anxious that she kept looking outside, waiting for Qi Zhaomian to come in.

"What's the urgent matter?" Lin Shanjuan yawned, and Qi Zhaomian happened to walk in.

Although he was woken up in the middle of the night, Qi Zhaomian's demeanor and spirit were still impeccable. When he sat opposite Ye Xi, his calm demeanor immediately made Ye Xi's heart, which had been hanging in the air all the way, fall to the ground.

"Your Highness, I just learned that the person impersonating my sister-in-law is also the daughter of the Nanman King. She and my sister-in-law might be twins."

After taking a breath, she continued, "Also, I've copied the letter the Nanman King sent her. Your Highness, please review it!"

Qi Zhaomian took the letter she had copied and after reading it, his brows furrowed visibly.

"It's probably true."

Ye Xi became more cautious after hearing this: "Then does Your Highness have any countermeasures?"

Qi Zhaomian closed her eyes and pondered. After a while, she told Ye Xi the inside story that she knew earlier than Ye Xi.
