An Empire as a Betrothal Gift - Chapter 56

Wei Lian returned to Zhongling palace, but he was still angry. He sat on the imperial concubine’s chair, looking slightly cold.

A cup of tea, you are not worried about longevity

Wei Lian hang Mou: “No

He was in a peaceful mood for so many years, but he was stirred up by a Ji Yue several times.

It’s not like him.

“Go down.” Wei Lian helped the temple, closed his eyes and said, “call Changsheng.”

“…… No

Longevity went out to call Changsheng, Wei Lian two fingers in the temple knead two circles, suddenly opened his eyes, into the bedroom.

The head of the bed is opposite the wall, is hanging that lovely rabbit lamp.

Wei Lian looked at the lamp for a long time.

“Young master.” Long life appeared beside him.

Wei Lian took back his sight and said faintly: “go to check the whereabouts of envoys from all countries today.”

Ji Yue’s plot, the trend against Chen, but does not mean that the real murderer. Wei Lian doesn’t care if there will be another action there. He has to find out.

Wei Lian is not a chess player.

At the critical moment, you have to spend your life. Changsheng has a high level of martial arts, and his ability to inquire about information is also first-class.

Changsheng took orders and left.

Wei Lianfu raised his eyes again. Looking at the rabbit lamp, he thought of Ji Yue’s face again.

After a long pause, he went out.

Out of sight, out of mind.

After staying in the hall for a while, longevity came again, saying that it was the medical officer who asked to see him.

Wei Lian said, “pass.”

It was one of the female medical officers who had a physical examination for Princess Chonghua.

When the medical officer came into the hall, he first knelt down and worshipped him, and then he made a great ceremony: “I will see you.”

“Yes.” Wei Lianxin felt something. Before waiting for the medical officer to say something, he took the lead in holding back. Fang said, “what you want to report is related to Princess Chonghua?”

The medical officer was slightly surprised. What she wanted to report was really not suitable for others to hear. I didn’t want the young master to be so keen that he could guess.

“You are wise.” The medical officer got up and bowed his head and said, “Your Majesty ordered us to collect Princess Chonghua. In the process of cleaning up, I found that there were burning letters in the incense burner of Princess Chonghua’s bedroom, and two pieces were not burned out.”

She presented two pieces of fragments: “the lower officials dare not deceive. Once discovered, they will report to the young master.”

Wei Lian took a closer look and found that a good piece of paper was almost burnt out. There was only one word “Yue” in the middle, one word “see” in the middle, which could not form a sentence intermittently, and a half burned “ear” character in the signature.

“I see.” Wei Lian looked at those words and said slowly, “you should step down and don’t mention it with others.”

The medical officer again salutes: “Nuo.”

Wei Lian, sitting alone in the hall, looked at the only three words on the remaining letter. After a long time, he said softly, “I love you. I’ll see you sometime Jerudan. ”

What he said may not be accurate, but he judged that it was a love letter.

If it is an ordinary letter paper, Princess Chonghua doesn’t need to burn it.

The word “ear” in the signature is very small, which is obviously just a side part. If you look at this palace, the one with “ear” in its name is not jerudan?

Wei Lian is still thinking about it. Changsheng comes back and replies. The news is as follows:

Wei Yan has been lying in the house all the time today. He’s still recovering and has to show up in public these days and has been in pain. Whenever there is no activity, Wei Yan is lying on the couch quietly.

Qiao Hongfei is half a man of his own.

The prince also stayed in the house. Xia state was the weakest. Except for the capital of the king, all the cities belonged to the Qin Dynasty and never dared to cause trouble. Since the arrival of the prince Xia, he has not stepped out of the room except for the necessary banquet.

The envoys of Xia state did not change. They stayed in the room quietly to protect their lives.

Huyan Kemu went to the imperial dining room at noon and asked the imperial chef to send a glass of horse milk wine to the ningyue building. As for the period before Wei Lian controlled the horse, that is, during the period when Princess Chonghua lost her virginity, Changsheng did not find any trace of Huyan Kemu, but could only confirm that Huyan Kemu was not in tanxiangxie.

However, Hu Yan Ke Mu Ben is not free to live. He has been running around every day these days, and he has not spent a good time in the sandalwood Pavilion.

In the morning, minera sleeps on the plum tree, and has little time to commit crimes. The saint of Liang never liked to sleep on the couch in peace. The maids could find her in any tree in the palace every day.

Aslan had been looking for her all morning and probably had no time for anything else.

Yerudan The whereabouts are unknown.

Wei Lian asked, “what is the meaning of unknown?”

Changsheng replied: “Prince Yelv is not in Yulong Pavilion today, but his whereabouts have not been found. But… ”

“But what?”

“But Prince Yelv returned to Yulong Pavilion in the afternoon and called for hot water, which should be for bathing.”

A bath in the middle of the day?

It’s just noon When Princess Chonghua lost her innocence.

It’s just the right time.Wei Lian recalled the look of yelutan when the maid of Yan reported the death of Princess Chonghua.

It’s surprise and regret.

Very normal reaction.

But that doesn’t mean anything. Those who can serve as envoys are enough to take out the straw bag of Wei Yan and the waste of Huyan Kemu. They should have a good acting skill.

Wei Lian slowly teases out the clues.

At present, yelutan is the most suspect.

He led the country of Liang into the water with the poison of late Yan, and then through the event of mare’s milk wine, he nailed Chen Guo to death in the name of the murderer.

But the mantis catches cicadas, and the Yellow finches are behind them. Instead, they tell the real murderer to hide deeper

“Young master.” Longevity is back.

Wei Lian, whose train of thought was suddenly interrupted, said: What happened? ”

“Chef Wang of the imperial dining room wants to see you.”

Wei Lian still remembers Wang Shou.

After all, he was taught to cook all afternoon.

Although it did not teach success.

“Let him in.”

Wang Shou came in with a child of seven or eight years old, and knelt down at the sight of Wei Lian

The little boy was still standing in the same place and was pulled by Wang Shou and knelt down.

“Hello, young master.” Children’s urn sound jar airway.

Wei Lian raised his eyebrows: “is this?”

Wang Shou said it immediately.

It turns out that this little boy is the son of a cook in the imperial dining room. Usually, he will help to fight in the imperial dining room. The cooks think he is cute and will give him some good dishes to eat.

This time, the child saw the leftovers from the ningyue building, and the mare’s wine was only touched by Princess Chonghua. He had not drunk the horse’s milk wine, thinking that it would be a waste to dump it anyway, so he tasted it secretly under curiosity.

He didn’t think it was good to drink, so he just tasted it and put it back.

When Wang Shou was summoned to come back from Ning Yue Lou, the boy complained to Wang Shou: “Uncle Wang, that mare’s milk wine is not good at all.”

Wang Shou was scared out of his wits: “how do you know it’s not good to drink?”

“I tasted it secretly,” the child said innocently

“…… That’s what happened. ” Wang Shou was deeply grieved. “It was a slave’s dereliction of duty. He didn’t care about Yang Yang, but Yang Yang was only eight years old. He didn’t have to die! The wine was poisoned. I heard that a drink would not immediately kill you, but sooner or later it would be a death! Young master, you are kind-hearted. Please save Yang Yang! ”

He took a big risk, too. Ordinary noble people don’t care about the life of a servant child, but he believes that childe is different.

Childe has always been a good man.

Wei Lian Mou color a flash: “Yang Yang, come here.”

Yang Yang was young and grew up in the market. He didn’t know that the nobles in the palace could not be bumped into. Seeing this beautiful fairy brother called him to go, he was wrapped up in dirty clothes and went into people’s arms regardless of interests and inferiority.

Wang Shou was even more frightened.

How can a clean man like a young master be allowed to be unruly!

Wei Lian didn’t care at all. He held the child on his knee and quietly grasped Yang Yang’s wrist. He took a pulse.

…… The child is not poisoned.

That’s interesting.

Princess Chonghua died in ChiYan, but not in mare’s milk.

Yang Yang ate the leftovers from the ningyue building back to the imperial dining room for treatment. The mare’s milk at that time was not poisonous. When Princess Chonghua drank it, it was even more unlikely that it would be poisonous.

Chen’s suspicion was completely eliminated.

“You’ve been a great help to me.” Wei Lian put the child down and spoke very gently to Wang Shou.

Wang Shou: “ah?”

He brought his children to ask the master to pass the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Yang Yang. Didn’t it add trouble to the young master?

How could it be a big help?

“This is the antidote given to me by your majesty. Most poisons can be neutralized.” Wei Lian put a ball into Yang Yang’s mouth. “He will be OK. Take him back. To live a long life, go to the storehouse and spend a few taels of silver to add new clothes to the child. ”

Wang Shou was stunned. When he saw that Wei Lian even took out the antidote given by his majesty and gave back the silver to make clothes, he was immediately grateful, thinking that Wei Lian was a good man.

“Thank you Wang Shou kowtowed excitedly, “you are a good man!”

Wei Lian said Well. ”

The so-called antidote pills are just ordinary sugar pills, so he won’t talk about it.

Wang Shou and Yang Yang walked away happily. Wei Lian sat in his seat and suddenly asked Changsheng, “is the night clothes still in the box?”

In a long time: “long Leng.”

Wei Lian nodded.

Thank God, Chu asked him to assassinate the king of Qin, but he was very considerate to prepare night clothes.

There are some things that he has to look into in person.

It’s night.

A figure quietly sneaks into the moon building.

Wei Lian stood at the side of the coffin, and his palm gave a mass of internal force. With a slight shock, the heavy wooden cover of the coffin was pushed away, revealing the stiff and white face of Princess Chonghua.It’s really penetrating in the dark night.

Wei Lian did not change his face and lit a candle with a torch.

Holding a candlestick in one hand, he observed the corpse of Chonghua Princess and turned her eyes with the other hand to make a careful examination.

Eyes

Wei Lian’s face covered by black face towel did not change, but showed a pair of black eyes.

“Why? How can there be a fire there? ” The patrol team of the palace suddenly saw the dim yellow candle fire in the ningyue building, and a bodyguard raised a question.

“Go and see.”

Wei Lian responded very quickly. He blew out the candle, put the candlestick back to its original position, quickly closed the coffin, jumped out of the window from the other side, and then climbed onto the roof.

When the patrol team came, the leader said, “nothing. Are you just dazzled? ”

The original doubts are not sure: “er Maybe. ”

“Go, go on, go over there.”

A line of patrols went in the other direction.

Just above their heads, Wei Lian squatted on the roof tile and quietly took back the knife in his hand.

He stood up, looked far away, and quickly fell into the night.

He has to get back to the palace.

Otherwise, if this dress is found, it will be hard to explain.

On the other side.

Ji Yue is holding a blue and white porcelain vase in his hand, and he ponders how to open his mouth and give the antidote to Wei Lian.

This is because he is sorry for Wei Lian, and he does not know that he will fall in love with Wei Lian.

I’m very nervous now. I don’t think what I’m doing is personnel.

Ji Yue was walking, and suddenly heard a slight sound from the roof.

The voice is very quiet. If you are an ordinary person or a martial arts practitioner who is not good at martial arts, I’m afraid you can’t detect half of it.

But Ji Yue is none of them.

He could hear clearly that it was the sound of footsteps over the roof.

Who dares to run on the roof of the Royal City in the evening?

Ji Yue’s first reaction was that there was an assassin.

And the assassin’s direction is Zhongling palace.

It’s Chong Wei Lian?!

Never let people get close to Wei Lian.

Panic and anger instantly cage on the heart, Ji Yue immediately put the porcelain bottle back in her arms, ordered people to take bows and arrows.

Wei Lian was in a hurry to go back to Zhongling palace, but suddenly a sharp arrow came from behind.

He dodged it with great agility, drew out his dagger and cut off the second arrow.

Looking at the direction of the arrow, he saw the king standing on the ground with a cold face aiming at him.

It was discovered by Ji Yue.

Wei lianning eyebrows, decisively choose to run in another direction, the speed is only a shadow.

The more Ji sees people running away, she immediately uses her lightness skill to fly to the roof and catch up with the assassin in front.

They run one after another on the roof of the palace, shuttling between the eaves and tiles. They are both unique lightness skills.

Wei Lian is finally defeated by Ji Yue’s familiarity with the terrain, and the distance between them is constantly narrowing.

When Wei Ran to a remote building, he saw that there was no one to chase after him. He was on the alert. However, a cold sword leaned against his neck.

Wei Lian’s grip on the knife is tight.

Ji Yue’s tone is thin, cool and cruel.

“If you run enough, you’ll die.”
