Her whereabouts are restricted, and she happens to be questioned by the upper echelons of Ruyang City, if she dies, Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru will arrange a scene of suicide in fear of crime, leaving a few specious words, so that no one will know even if she dies unjustly, this is probably the result that Zhu Chen's family wants.

Ye Manjun's face changed a few times, this Zhu Chen's obsession with killing her was much deeper than she imagined, what a vicious old woman.

Feeling the aura of the people around him, Lin Long reached out to hold Ye Manjun's cold hand, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, there is me and my husband here to support you, if they dare to poison this plum blossom cake, I am not afraid of making a big deal about it." ”

She said this very sonorously and forcefully, no matter how reckless this Zhu Chen is, they must not tolerate it anymore.

Ye Manjun nodded his head, as if thinking of something, and sighed again, "When she sent the dead mouse before, I asked people to transfer the dead mouse to the King of Ruyang, I thought that this prince would deal with it with the princess, at least warn Zhu Chen's family, so that she could restrain herself, but the result was a big disappointment." She clenched Lin Long's hand with her backhand, "Sister-in-law, although this King of Ruyang may not have any feelings for Zhu Chen's family, he is still quite protective of her as a wife." ”

Lin Long's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Let's wait for the results first, and then take the next step." ”

Ye Manjun nodded solemnly, acting impulsively could not solve this matter very well, and seeing her sister-in-law's calm and restrained appearance, she also put her mind at ease.

Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong glanced at each other, their eyes were very heavy, if this plum blossom cake was really poisonous, this Princess Ruyang would be really hateful.

Because of such an incident, the family was in no mood to tell the details of the farewell, so they waited with bated breath for the results of this test.

After two quarters of an hour, Rumei hurried in to report back.

"How?" Ye Manjun was the first to hold her breath, after all, she was the party concerned and was more sensitive to this matter.

"Back to the big girl, this plum blossom rao is indeed poisonous."

Rumei turned around and ordered people to bring in the dead dog and plum blossom rao, and then followed by the accompanying house doctor.

Ye Manjun's eyes widened, and he stared at the plum blossom cake in a dead state.

Dare to do it in broad daylight, this Princess Ruyang just didn't look at anyone at all.

"Damn!" Ye Xurong shook his fist angrily.

Lin Long glanced at the little uncle and said, "Uncle, don't be impatient. ”

Then she got up and walked over to the dead dog, crouched down and gently checked the dog's death, "What kind of poison is this?" Good life domineering. ”

It doesn't take two quarters of an hour to make people poison to death, which shows how strong this Zhu Chen's determination is to kill his sister-in-law.

"Back to grandma, this is arsenic, and it is extremely domineering when it attacks." The doctor replied respectfully.

Ye Manjun also got up and stepped forward to check, and directly squatted beside Lin Long, and flipped over the dead dog in front of him with a handkerchief, "Elder Zhu Chen wants me to be buried for her son, which is why she wants me to die the most." ”

"Sister-in-law, sister, this fact is too bad, we can't stop there." Ye Xurong expressed his opinion angrily.

"I also praise Brother Rong'er's opinion, in this Ruyang City, we have repeatedly retreated just to make both sides look better, and not to erect too many enemies for Sister Jun, but the result of this concession is that even poisoning is used, how can this be tolerated?" Ye Minglan also looked angry.

Lin Long got up, soaked his hands in the hot water brought by Ruyan, and then washed his hands with soap, and wiped the water stains on his hands with a white handkerchief.

"Go, call Mrs. Ma to me." After instructing the maid, he looked at Ye Minglan and Ye Xurong, "Of course, this matter can't be counted lightly, but it can't be reckless, you have to think twice before acting." ”

"That's right." Ye Manjun also calmed his hand like Lin Long, "Sister-in-law is right, this matter must be discussed in the long run, or it is better to discuss with the eldest brother and make a decision, sister-in-law, what do you think?" ”

In the end, I asked Lin Long to respect her sister-in-law, so as not to make Lin Long feel uncomfortable.

Lin Long didn't think about it, he pondered for a while, and nodded lightly, "My sister-in-law is reasonable, acting rashly will only ruin the good situation, and we will make arrangements when your brother comes back." ”

The family sat down again, but everyone was tense at this moment.

After Ma Lan's order was instructed by Lin Long, he immediately came in with the maids of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion to greet Lin Long, and the young Mrs. Hou taught the two local nobles a lesson as soon as she came, and she instinctively did not dare to underestimate this young woman.

"Mrs. Hou looking for a concubine?"

"Mrs. Ma sits."

Lin Long politely pointed to the position of the first place, and Ma Lan smiled before he dared to sit down.

"I wonder what happened to Mrs. Hou looking for a concubine? The concubine must know everything, and she must say everything......"

Before Ma Lan's flattering words were finished, Lin Long interrupted her meaningless nonsense, and then pointed to the dead dog on the ground and the plum blossom cake on the table, "Mrs. Ma, look at these things." ”

Ma Lan didn't squint when he entered the house, he had always behaved, he was afraid of upsetting Lin Long, and when she saw her hand pointing to the ground, she immediately looked at it, and when she saw the dead dog bleeding from the seven orifices, she suddenly screamed in fright, "Ah-"

This, isn't this Xiangyang Hou Lady the same as Princess Zhu Chen of Ruyang, who has a scary hobby?

Ma Lan's heart suddenly beat wildly, and he sighed that his life was miserable, how he had met a madman.

"Mrs. Ma, you must be surprised, this plum blossom cake was sent by Teng's daughter and An's daughter, and this dog is dead after eating plum blossom cake." Ye Manjun immediately spoke out to explain the confusion to the Ma Lan clan, saving the family of this court official from being rude again.

Hearing that this was not Lin Long, the Marquis of Xiangyang and the lord of Yi'an, was deliberately scaring her, Ma Lan's pale face eased up, but when she thought of the origin of this plum blossom cake, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and it took a while to calm down the fear in her heart, "This Teng girl has recently won the love of Princess Ruyang, Princess Ruyang has a violent temperament, and her behavior is often incomprehensible and frightening, and the concubine thinks that this plum blossom cake is probably instructed by Princess Ruyang Teng's daughter." ”

This Mrs. Ma didn't have an official relationship with her, Lin Long secretly thought, this is the only way to really take a look at Ma Lan's family. When she first entered this official office, she didn't have much interest in this respectful Ma Lan, but now she can see some taste.

Being stared at by Lin Long like this, Ma Lan's heart was also a little uneasy, if she hadn't seen Lin Long punish Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru, she would not have shown her hole cards so easily, but when she thought of this young lady's ruthless methods, she couldn't afford to play tricks with her at all.

"Mrs. Ma is a cheerful person, and Mrs. Ben likes to deal with cheerful people the most." Lin Long chuckled.

"Thank you Mrs. Hou for your appreciation, the concubine doesn't deserve such praise from Mrs., she just has a sentence to say." Ma Lanshi secretly replied with a sigh of relief, "The concubine and Miss Ye are also old acquaintances, this is not the first time that Princess Ruyang has resorted to such a method, besides her, who else in this city would do such a poisonous thing to Miss Ye?" Although Teng Yuanyuan said that she had some thoughts about Zhu Erye, if no one encouraged and supported her, she would not dare to be so ruthless to Miss Ye. Then he blamed himself, "If something like this happens, the concubine can't escape the blame, but fortunately, Miss Ye is alert, so there is no way to follow them, otherwise, even if the concubine dies, it can't offset the guilt ......"

"Mrs. Ma, this is none of your business, don't take this matter into your own hands." Ye Manjun is very understanding. Besides, even if Ma Lanshi accompanied her to meet Teng Yuanyuan, it would be impossible to save her life, and the two of them would go to Huangquan together.

"Mrs. Ma, what my sister-in-law said is very true." Lin Long put down the tea bowl, "But then again, Mrs. Ma has to be a witness in this matter." ”

Ma Lanshi knew that she couldn't shirk it, didn't this Mrs. Hou have such a mind when she called her in? Then he nodded lightly, "Mrs. Hou don't worry, the concubine will not stay out of the matter, this person dares to do something to Miss Ye in the official office, but he doesn't take the saint in his eyes." ”

At this point, she was filled with righteous indignation.

Lin Long had to praise this Ma Lan, but he was an interesting person, "Mrs. Ma is really quick to speak, your matter, my sister-in-law mentioned it to me in the letter, his sister-in-law married a good husband and wife, and our husband and wife have to give Master Ma and Mrs. a generous gift as a thank you, and you have taken care of my sister-in-law during this time." ”

This is tantamount to agreeing to help the Ma family get out of Ruyang City.

Ma Lan's face was uncontrollable with excitement, no matter how much Ye Manjun's promise was, it was not as good as Lin Long's personal promise, which was tantamount to saying that their husband and wife had really come out.

Unable to sit still any longer, she hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Lin Long, and said in a slightly choked voice: "Thank you, Mrs. Hou." ”

"Mrs. Ma, please." Lin Long glanced at Ruyan.

Ruyan immediately helped Ma Lan up willingly.

Ma Lan's mood when she sat down this time was completely different from before, her future was decided, she was much more stable, as long as she didn't anger the young Madam Hou, she was naturally not afraid that the other party would use ruthless tricks against her.

The two sides opened the skylight and said bright words, Lin Long knew more about the situation in Ruyang City, she had only heard so many things in the past half a day when she entered the city, and it was always difficult for her mood to be clear.

"Don't hide it from Mrs. Hou, if this Princess Ruyang is not removed for a day, she will regard Miss Ye as a thorn in the flesh in her eyes and get rid of it quickly, she can do everything." Ma Lan's family finally said something that he had never said to Ye Manjun, "Miss Ye was attacked when she entered the palace before, and now it is still a headless case, and after the concubine, it is not possible to have something to do with this Princess Ruyang, but fortunately, Miss Ye has a great fortune, so she escaped." ”

"Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, I also have this suspicion, but there is no complete evidence, and in the end I have to stop it." As soon as he mentioned this incident, Ye Minglan couldn't hide the resentment in his eyes.

This assassination incident, Lin Long listened to Ye Manjun's understatement, and now he heard the comments of others, and he had more intuitive thoughts about this matter, "This Ruyang City is really shocking step by step, and it is difficult to be a sister-in-law." ”

Ye Manjun shook his head lightly, "Our Ye family is a meritorious family, and it is the duty of the people of Dashun to be loyal to you, how can I say that it is embarrassing?" Take things as they come. ”

There are outsiders, she still sang the praises of the kindness of the saints, after all, there is a huge Hou Mansion behind her, how can there be a crisis because of her, this is the mission of the Ye family's daughter.

Lin Long knew her intentions, and reached out to hold her hand tightly, this person, no matter whether he is rich or poor, it is extremely difficult to live as he wants, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained.

Here, Lin Long is understanding what happened.

Ye Xuyao on the other side of the box was the guest of King Ruyang, and both sides were extremely polite at first, and there was no out-of-the-ordinary conversation, but the two sides tested each other.

It's just that this hole card is not easy to figure out, and King Ruyang is not as calm as Ye Xuyao, and after eating a few sips of tea, he still can't hide the words in his heart after all, "Ye Houye, our two families are in-laws, and naturally there is no need to guess when we speak, I don't know if this king is right to say this?" ”

"If the prince has something to say, just say it." Ye Xuyao said.

"Then the king said bluntly, Ye Houye, this king is just a son who has passed away, what does it mean that the Holy Lord sent troops to display on the border of Ruyang City?"

Zhu Ziqi instinctively sat up straight when his father opened his mouth to mention this sensitive topic, and for this, he avoided contact with Ye Manjun, saving Ye Manjun from becoming the object of suspicion.

Ye Xuyao put down the tea bowl inappropriately, "Lord Wang, Ben Hou thought it was a big deal to make the prince embarrassed, but it turned out to be this thing." The corners of his mouth were rarely hooked, "This is not an action against Ruyang City, but a normal exercise, if the Holy Lord is not at ease with Ruyang City, how can he send me as an envoy?" How could he agree to the prince's request to give his sister to the successor son again? This is enough to show the sincerity of the saints. ”

This explanation sounds a little reasonable, but after thinking about it, I don't think it's appropriate, Zhu Yi and Zhu Ziqi's father and son glanced at each other, and they still didn't know the bottom of their hearts.

"Lord Ye, the Holy Lord really doesn't mean to use troops against Ruyang City?" Zhu Ziqi repeatedly confirmed, "We are both descendants of the Zhu family, and we don't want to fight in the same room, and Miss Ye is about to be my wife, so I don't want to see the side of the river of blood." ”

"If the Holy One has this intention, how can Benhou bring his family with him? I'm afraid you don't know, my wife is the righteous daughter of today's queen's mother, this is a serious title, not the kind of casual recognition. Ye Xuyao arched his hand in the direction of the capital.

Zhu Yi knew at a glance that Ye Xuyao was not the kind of person who had no purpose, and he still had some approval of his words, but this suspicion did not disappear, after all, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, "Ye Houye's words have dispelled the concerns of this king, after all, it is the people who suffer, and it is the people who suffer, and this king is not happy to see such a situation. ”

"The prince is wise." Ye Xuyao said, "But Ben Hou heard that the prince had issued a grounding order to everyone who came from the capital, so I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"This is just a misunderstanding, not because the Holy Lord sent troops on the border of Ruyang City, but because Ruyang City itself has recently raised its guard to prevent Mongolia." Zhu Yi had already prepared an answer to deal with Ye Xuyao's question, "Ye Houye also knows that Ruyang City borders Mongolia, and it is winter, and this Mongolian country has always been a time of shortage of materials for winter, and it is inevitable to plunder the surrounding towns, so Ruyang City has strengthened its defenses. Moreover, Lord Ma and Master Fang are officials sent by the Holy Father, and Miss Ye is a delicate guest, not to mention, in order to ensure their safety, there is a restriction on travel. ”

These words sound as plausible as what he said, can Ye Xuyao not understand Zhu Yi's thoughts? If you really fight with the imperial court, your eldest sister is the hostage, so you naturally have to watch it closely.

"I see, but Ben Hou almost misunderstood, Lord Wang, now the soldiers of the Holy Lord are practicing at the border, once the Lord is in need, he will not stand idly by, does this restriction order have to be abolished?"

"That's inevitable, Ye Houye, since the Holy Lord has sent troops to help this king, this king will be able to sleep at night without worry." Zhu Yi laughed out loud.

If he let that team of soldiers enter Ruyang City, then his head would be kicked by a donkey, and he would understand the reason that there was no way back without being taught. This Ye Xuyao is also clearly fearless, and it is clear that he is using that border Chen Bing to intimidate him, how can he not hear the hidden murderous intention of his words?

Zhu Ziqi glanced at his father's unsmiling eyes, and knew that his father did not fully believe in the Xiangyang Marquis in front of him, and his future eldest brother was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He had no intention of rebelling, and acted calmly, but he was not afraid of Ye Xuyao's threat.

Ye Xuyao calmly took a sip of tea, and secretly observed the Zhu father and son, and secretly estimated it in his heart.

The conversation that concealed the edge machine in this fell into Zhu Chen's ears, and she clenched her fist in the back peeking behind, the arrival of the Ye family completely disrupted her plan, and I don't know if Teng Yuanyuan succeeded there?

Now as long as Ye Manjun dies, the situation will change completely, and then kill the Xiangyang Hou and his wife, and the possibility of reconciliation between Ruyang City and the capital, this belated battle will come, and when the time comes, this Ruyang City is not her final say?

With a sneer, she turned to leave.

As soon as she got out of this secret room, she asked her cronies beside her, "How is Ye Manjun there?" ”

Before the cronie could answer, someone rushed over, looking at Zhu Chen with a hurried face, obviously having something to say.

Zhu Chen glanced at this place, most of the people here were Zhu Yi's people, she waved her hand lightly to signal the person not to speak first, and cautiously left the courtyard for a distance, making sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then she raised her eyebrows and asked sternly, "What's wrong?" ”

The subordinate who hurriedly came to report only then whispered the development of the situation to the master, including Teng Yuanyuan and Anxinru being taught a lesson and carried home, of course, there was also unfavorable news that Ye Manjun was still alive.

Zhu Chen's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, "How could things be like this?" ”

"The other party has the token of the queen's mother, no one can stop it, princess, what should I do with that plate of plum blossom cakes?"

The poison arsenic was given to Teng Yuanyuan by the princess herself, and it was also the princess's instruction to make plum blossom cakes to apologize, as for pulling up Anxinru, this is Teng Yuanyuan's private proposition, which is not difficult to understand, Teng Yuanyuan is thinking that after he succeeds, once the matter is revealed, he will push the responsibility to Anxinru, and let the other party become a substitute for the dead.

But now things are developing in the other direction entirely, and both of them have been knocked unconscious, so naturally they don't have time to deal with that plate of plum blossom cakes, but they are afraid that the article hidden in this cake will be known to the other party sooner or later.

"Princess, we have to come up with a countermeasure." The faces of the cronies also became anxious, how can this be good?

"Don't be impatient, they are new to the city, and they don't dare to come to the princess lightly." Zhu Chen snorted slightly, "Besides, this matter was done by the daughter of the Teng family, and it has nothing to do with this princess." ”

All the cronies were thoughtful, even if Teng Yuanyuan and the princess got close, there was no substantial evidence to prove that the princess was involved in this poisoning incident, and if they wanted to make a big fuss about this, the Ye family might not be able to do so.

"Do you understand?" Zhu Chen sneered fearlessly and asked.

"The slave understands, so let's arrange a qiē." The cronies also immediately understood, and immediately responded with a smile.

"The children can be taught."

Zhu Chen is very satisfied with the intelligence of his subordinates, but when she thought that Ye Manjun was still alive and really wanted to marry Zhu Ziqi as his wife, she clenched her fists with both hands, she didn't want to see this situation when she died, it was really hateful, this Ye Manjun's life was so hard, no wonder she killed her son.

The expression of his master was sunny and rainy, and people had long been used to it, and on the way back, no one dared to talk nonsense.

Ye Xuyao ended the conversation with Zhu Yi, the king of Ruyang, and was accompanied by Zhu Ziqi to go back to the location of the imperial court, but was stopped by someone, "Lord Ye, our princess is invited." ”

Ye Xuyao squinted slightly, this Zhu Chen, he had heard his wife mention it several times, these were all secrets from Su Ziyu, the master of the Middle Palace, and after a slight sigh, he readily agreed to visit Zhu Chen.

Zhu Ziqi grabbed the future brother-in-law, "Master Ye, my mother-in-law ......"

"It's okay, it's just a meeting."

Ye Xuyao waved his hand lightly.

Zhu Ziqi didn't stop him anymore, but he was still afraid that this grandmother would do something out of the ordinary and affect the reputation of the palace, so he also followed.

Because the place where Princess Ruyang lived was approaching evening, it seemed a little gloomy, and Zhu Chen sat in the main seat in the hall to meet Ye Xuyao.

"Ye Houye, please take a seat." Zhu Chen seemed to be polite, and then glanced at Zhu Ziqi, "Ziqi, you go out first." ”

Zhu Ziqi pondered for a moment, and then bowed and withdrew.

Zhu Chen looked at Ye Xuyao with a smile, "Master Ye, I heard that Mrs. Zun entered the city with you, but this princess can't wait to meet Mrs. Zun......

Ye Xuyao didn't use the tea she had here, and looked at Xiang Zhu Chen a little mockingly, "Princess, have you forgotten your identity?" ”

"What does Ye Hou Ye mean by this?" Zhu Chen's face immediately changed drastically.

"The princess is a smart person, how can she not understand the meaning of Ben Hou's words? After all these years, the princess has done her best for the court and the saint, and the saint is also grateful for the princess's contributions, but some things must be done in moderation, don't be confused about what role you play in this. ”

After speaking, Ye Xuyao stood up, obviously he didn't plan to sit with Zhu Chen for a long time.

Zhu Chen's face changed drastically, his hands were tightly holding on to the chair handle, trying to restrain his expression, "You, what do you mean by this?" You tell me clearly? ”

Her eyes were all ruthless at this time, how could she still have the posture she deliberately put on before?

"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, the princess can do it herself."

Ye Xuyao arched his hand and withdrew without waiting for Zhu Chen to speak.

Zhu Chen stood in the hall like a candle in the wind, her face was full of horror and hatred, she was so stupid, she thought that she had eradicated the eyeliner of the capital for so many years, but in fact, there were still fish that slipped through the net.
