Wild Consort Conquers the World - Chapter 86 I am not involved
“Then you can ask.” Lan Ling pouted her lips at Huai Jin in dissatisfaction.
Seeing Yuwen Fei quietly falling asleep, Huai Jin pursed her lips and started to ask.
“Where did you go yesterday?”
“Cloud Locking Pavilion.”
“Hypnotized,” Yuwen Fei replied very obediently.
“Did you encounter an assassination when you came back?”
Although the two said that they were cooperating, there were some things that Yuwen Fei would never exclude her, including the incident with Lan Ling previously, and the incident with Pu Xin yesterday.
Thinking about it here, Huai Jin looked at Lan Ling. Was the person who stopped Lan Ling from escaping really Pu Xin? What was his purpose in doing so?
Lan Ling was baffled by her gaze. She lowered her head and looked around her body, but didn’t find anything wrong.
“Yes.”
This time, Yuwen Fei’s reply was a little slow.
Hearing the answer, Huai Jin was not surprised, she had only picked these questions with Yuwen Fei, to play with him.
However, Lan Ling was kept in the dark, and hearing that, she anxiously asked: “Who assassinated you?”
Yuwen Fei, who was lying on the bed, slightly opened his eyes. His dense eyelashes covered his slightly opened eyes.
Through those tiny cracks, he looked straight at Lan Ling.
The emotionless reply sounded once more, “Bei Ling.”
This reply was outside of Huai Jin’s expectations. Her eyes flashed, swept across Yuwen Fei, and finally looked at Lan Ling.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t know. Why would my second uncle assassinate him?”
Lan Ling only felt a chill in her heart as she was stared straight at him.
“Didn’t you assassinate me before?” Huai Jin asked.
“Aiya, I said no!” Lan Ling felt that he couldn’t explain it even if he wanted to.
But Yuwen Fei was like a repeater, constantly repeating the same words.
“Bei Ling, Bei Ling.”
“No, no!”
Every time Yuwen Fei said this, Lan Ling would retort.
After all, Lan Ling was still a child.
Huai Jin pulled him over, interrupting their meaningless argument, she asked: “Then don’t you think there’s evidence?”
Lan Ling stuttered for a long time, her throat rolled up and down for a long time, but she still muttered: “Is that so?”
“Bei Ling.”
Yuwen Fei who was on the bed seemed to be intentionally angry at him, as he repeated himself again.
Lan Ling jumped up slowly and stood next to Yuwen Fei’s bed, rebutting once more with extreme persistence: “No!”
“Then how do you explain why you assassinated me!” Huai Jin asked him again.
Lan Ling only felt that her head was two heads wide, Yuwen Fei’s voice and his voice continuously reverberated beside his ears.
“Aiya! There’s someone that wants to cooperate with my second uncle! They said they won’t allow us to attack you! So I didn’t do anything to you after that! ” Lan Ling finally said impatiently.
Huai Jin squinted her eyes. Lan Ling had indeed used a money dart on him before, and after being discovered by him, she kept everything inside, but from then on, Lan Ling’s injuries had recovered, and he did not seem to have made any other movements.
Yuwen Fei’s long-winded chatter also stopped after he finished speaking.
As for the “someone” that Lan Ling mentioned, both of them were well aware of it.
Pu Xin and Bei Ling had reached an agreement and asked Bei Ling not to do anything to him.
Thinking about it, a strange feeling spread out in Huai Jin’s mind. The elegant and bamboo figure in her mind gradually blurred, and slowly seemed to become like a layer of fog, covering the figure and making it difficult to see clearly.
That person was Xibo Marquis of the Da Wan Kingdom, a genius who could compose poems at the age of four.
That person was an elegant and refined person.
That person’s luck was bad, his body was plagued with disease.
But it was also that person who colluded with Bei Ling, and it was very possible that he had the intention to destroy his own country.
However, he was secretly protecting her, then … Did he also know that he had been infected by the parasite, which was why he had stopped Lan Ling from escaping from him time and time again?
Huai Jin felt that she could no longer see him clearly, but at the same time, she could not see him clearly. The person in front of her was Yuwen Fei.
And these two people …
“Pu Xin wishes the Seventh Prince an early solution in his case.”
Pu Xin’s voice was different from the gentleness of the past. Instead, it was a little cold, and it kept repeating in Huai Jin’s mind.
She firmly believed that something must have happened between the two of them that she didn’t know about, and both of them were deliberately excluding her.
Thinking about it, Huai Jin lowered her voice and asked: “Yuwen Fei, between you and that person, did you reach an agreement on cooperation?”
Lan Ling’s eyes widened? That person? Was it the person he was talking about? They all know?
He also looked at Yuwen Fei with a face full of anticipation. After all, his Second Uncle had never told him who that person was.
But what responded was only quiet air, Yuwen Fei laid on the bed quietly, his breathing was calm, as though he had fallen asleep.
“What happened to him?”
Lan Ling could not get an answer in a long time, so she asked.
“I fell asleep.”
“Ah?” Why did he fall asleep? ”
Huai Jin looked at him, and even lying did not make his heart beat faster, “My hypnosis is always like this, it only works for a short period of time, until I fall asleep.”
“Oh.” Lan Ling pursed her lips and muttered unhappily: “It’s still not as good as my Second Sister.”
Huai Jin was in no mood to argue with him, and left with a heavy heart.
Seeing her leave, Lan Ling also bitterly walked away.
The two footsteps left one after the other. The person on the bed slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the door in a daze.
Her light blue dress was covered by a layer of misty rain, making it seem as if she was wearing a thin layer of gauze, which was especially appropriate for the weather.
The hem of her skirt bloomed under her feet, revealing the totem of a Vermillion Bird that was embroidered with silver threads.
Yuwen Fei’s eyes suddenly opened, staring straight at the faint silver beneath the skirt without blinking.
Until the light blue figure disappeared from sight, he then opened his mouth and said solemnly: “Yun Jing!”
His voice was filled with the rage of jealousy that he was trying his best to endure.
Yun Jing’s brows twitched, and he appeared.
“Order me ten sets of female dresses! Invite the best elderflower herb! The bottom of every dress is embroidered with the totem of the auspicious cloud! ”
Yun Jing was stunned, only then did he remember that when Huai Jin went to Mansion of Xibo Marquis in the morning, she had changed into a new set of clothes, which seemed to be the exact same clothes as before.
Moreover, it seemed that every time the Xibo Marquis requested for the elderflower herb to make clothes, the Vermillion Bird’s totem would appear on it. That totem was like the symbol of a clan.
But now, his master had made the elderflower herb embroider the totem of Xiangyun, but Xiangyun was not the totem of Yuwen Clan.
Yun Jing felt that it was just that his master liked auspicious clouds, after all, the names of the both of them were given to him by his master, and there was the word “Yun” in them as well.
Yun Jing, who was no longer conflicted, turned to leave after receiving his orders.
“Wait a minute!”
Yuwen Fei suddenly called out to him, his face was a little awkward, but very quickly he said, “Among the ten sets of clothes, there is no need for blue.”
Yun Jing was startled, but he understood in his heart.
That night, an imperial decree was sent out from the palace and arrived at Ping Yang’s Grand Princess’s residence.
The capital that had been silent all this while began to boil once more with excitement over this edict.
In the silent capital, after the rain, the sounds of various insects echoed in the night, playing a cheerful melody.
One carriage after another passed quickly through the darkness. The clatter of horses’ hooves was especially obvious on the road during the night.
On that night, the Prime Minister led a group of officials to the entrance of the palace.
And the reason they had come was precisely because of the imperial edict that Yuwen Jue had just issued. The imperial edict did not contain any other content, it merely ordered Grand Princess Ping Yang to bury the princess in two days.
The case of the Qishan white jade, had not been investigated thoroughly, and the name of Ping Yang’s crime of treason had not been cleansed. These ministers naturally did not agree to it.
At this moment, even if the civil officials received the news and came to inquire about the matter, they could only be stopped outside the palace gates.
On the other hand, the generals of Da Wan Kingdom did not care much about it. After listening to the news one by one, they just watched as the bunch of civil servants made a joke.
Towards this kind of thing, these officers could see clearly that it was not important whether or not Grand Princess Ping Yang could be buried in the Princess’s Tomb.
Right now, the matter of Wu Bo Hou looting the house was still causing quite a commotion. As long as the matter did not attract their attention, they would be happy to watch the show.
Furthermore, if these officials continued to cause trouble, it would not only be the Emperor’s fault. It should be known that the Grand Princess was the empress dowager’s precious daughter.
Although the empress dowager couldn’t directly control their official fortunes, she still had the Xiao family behind her.
Although the Xiao family had already withdrawn from the imperial court, the power of the Xiao family could not be underestimated. Otherwise, with the current relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager, if it weren’t for the fact that the emperor was afraid of the power of the Xiao family, the emperor would definitely not be able to live in peace with the empress dowager. Furthermore, he would not allow the empress dowager to spoil’s Grand Princess.
Indeed, it was just as these military officers had guessed.
That night, the palace doors did not open. On the second day, the Esteemed Empress Dowager personally came out and invited the civil officials into the Jubilee Palace.
Early in the morning, Yuwen Jue ordered Wei Chengwu to bring the imperial edict to Princess Mansion, ordering the two of them to quickly investigate the Qishan white jade s’ case.
Huai Jin received the imperial edict, looked at Wei Chengwu, and then threw the imperial edict to Yuwen Fei: “You inspect for yourself.”
