Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven - C983 983 Greedy Insufficient Hearts

Yan Xiao raised his hand, and did not answer, but asked: “Is there any news from the Eighth Prince?”

“The Prince Jing has already sent the King Jing Palace to treat the Eighth Prince’s injuries. Considering the journey ahead, we should be in the capital by now.”

“Yes.”

Yan Xiao squinted his somewhat cold eyes and lightly tapped his finger that was distinct on the bone. He looked to be deep in thought, and his thumb gently rubbed against his middle finger.

The people in front of him did not make a sound, and did not dare to easily disturb Yan Xiao’s train of thoughts.

After a long while, he then saw Yan Xiao dispelling his deep thoughts, and waved to them: “You guys leave first, we’ll set out tomorrow morning.”

“Yes.”

On the other side, the severely injured and unconscious Yan Jue had already been escorted to Prince Lu’s Mansion, where the royal doctors were waiting for him.

Once Yan Jue returned, everyone gathered together to discuss treatment strategy.

Because the Lu Yuan He who came with them was a member of the King Jing, adding to the fact that he was once the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, these people did not dare to disrespect him in the slightest.

Yan Jue was still in a coma, and the only thing he could rejoice of was that his life was no longer in danger.

The imperial doctors stayed at Prince Lu’s Mansion and did not leave. Lu Yuan He took some time to make a trip back to King Jing Palace.

“Mr. Lu.”

When he was about to return to his courtyard, he heard Yan Yuan calling him.

Turning his head, he saw Yan Yuan and his wife standing not far behind him.

“My prince, my princess.”

“Mr. Lu, how is eighth brother’s situation?”

On one hand, she was really worried about Yan Jue’s injuries. From the moment she married into the Easternum, Eighth Brother had been taking care of him, and on the other hand, it was because of Tian Xin.

That guy was still brooding over Yan Jue’s heavy injuries, as if he was the one who harmed him. If something really happened to Yan Jue, she didn’t even dare to think what would happen to him.

“For the time being, the Eighth Prince’s life is in no danger. It’s just that that assassin’s sword had pierced into his heart. His injury was not light, so it’s unknown when he will wake up.”

Heart again!

Yan Yuan frowned, that day when he was ambushed, the killer also pierced into his heart, it was just that he dodged it quickly, causing the wound to deviate slightly, if not he really would have lost his life.

“Is eighth brother poisoned?”

Yan Yuan asked.

“There’s no sign of poisoning, only severe injuries.”

Hearing this, Yan Yuan only lightly nodded his head, and let Lu Yuan He go back to rest.

After returning to the East Branch, Liu Ruo Qing said, “Back then when you were assassinated, you were even poisoned by Ye Man. If this was the same person, you should have also poisoned Eighth Brother.

Originally, Liu Ruo Qing thought that the people who would kill Yan Jue this time around might very well be the same group of people as the person who killed Yan Yuan back then.

If it was the same group of people, they would naturally want to kill the other party. There was no reason to poison Yan Yuan, but Yan Jue didn’t.

“Not necessarily.”

Yan Yuan shook his head. When he saw Liu Ruo Qing’s questioning eyes, he continued: “Even though they did their best to erase some traces, making the two assassinations completely unrelated, no matter how they feigned it, their killing methods were surprisingly similar. There are two possible reasons why they did not use poison on eighth brother.”

“Which two?”

“Ye Man’s poison is too unique, once they use it, it will link to the time when I was assassinated. Also, they tried their best to hide their killing methods, so they wouldn’t use the same method a second time.”

Liu Ruo Qing felt that Yan Yuan’s analysis was reasonable, but after thinking about it again, she felt that something was amiss, “However, we were unable to find any clues even after being assassinated, so even if they used the same method, we might not be able to find out.”

Yan Yuan replied indifferently, “But if we link the two assassinations together, it would be hard to avoid finding some clues. From this, it can be seen how meticulous the mastermind’s scheme is, as he obviously doesn’t want us to discover even the slightest bit of it.”

A person who could have such thoughts was very frightening. Other than having good patience, they would not act rashly. This was the key to becoming a big deal.

If the other party’s goal was the three of them, then their ultimate goal would be to obtain a seat in the Hall of Brilliance.

Yan Yuan frowned, this Easternum’s Jiang Shan really was a piece of fat, all of them wanted to take a bite out of themselves.

This time around, this person was clearly more patient and intelligent than the previous ones.

“Last time I asked you to ask Ye Man about ‘Eternal Rest’, did you get any results from that?”

Liu Ruo Qing suddenly thought of Yan Yuan’s poison and asked.

“Yes, I just came back from the Ministry of Justice, according to Ye Man, he is not aware of my assassination. He said that ‘Eternal Rest’ lost a packet when he was travelling, and didn’t come back after that.”

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, a trace of suspicion appearing in her eyes, “According to him, the person who assassinated and poisoned you, wasn’t Qin Mu Huai? Do you believe what people like him say? ”

Yan Yuan’s thick eyebrows were also deeply furrowed, but his hand habitually placed Liu Ruo Qing’s palm in his palm. He played with her slender fingers as he thought about something.

Liu Ruo Qing did not know when he had gotten into this habit, nor did she bother to correct him, but in the next second, he heard from him: “Ye Man is a guy who is greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for wealth. The more such a person is, the more seizing the opportunity to live, the more he will not let it go.

When he saw that Liu Ruo Qing was still confused, he reached out and lightly scratched the tip of her nose before continuing to analyze: “Back then, it was precisely because Ye Man relied on those monsters to find Qin Mu Huai. As long as he succeeded in taking down the Easternum for Qin Mu Huai, he would be the number one contributor.

He saw a faint look of understanding in Liu Ruo Qing’s eyes, and continued to speak with a light smile: “Now that Qin Mu Huai has fallen into Qin Xuan’s hands, there is no possibility of him being able to turn the situation around. Do you think that Ye Man would give up his life for Qin Mu Huai, the former emperor of the Nanling who could not even protect himself? His ambition was not bad, his heart was not good, but he was a little smart, and he could understand the situation he is in, if it was really Qin Mu Huai who sent someone to assassinate him, it would be meaningless for him to hide it for him right now. ”

Liu Ruo Qing had already understood what Yan Yuan meant, following that, his eyebrows knitted even deeper: “So you’re saying, there’s another mastermind behind this?”

Liu Ruo Qing’s eyes lit up, “Could it be that there is a real master behind Ye Man and Qin Mu Huai is just a pretense?”
