Chapter 61: Ruan Chen is Dead [Second Watch]
Liu Lei has been by Lin Yunlong's side for so many years, who else dares to say this to him except Lin Yunlong? Lin Yinan has been tepid to people for so many years, and who have you ever seen him say this to?
The smile on Liu Lei's face froze for a moment, and he immediately understood that the Eighth Prince was now on fire, and this fire was not ordinarily big. Those who know the current affairs should hide from it.
Liu Lei continued to laugh, but didn't say anything more. made a gesture to send Lin Yinan off, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him leave.
Lin Yinan returned to the Eight Emperors' Mansion and sent Su Shi to exchange for Li Muchen in the palace. Li Muchen has not left the palace these days, and has been monitoring Lin Yunlong's movements. After meeting Su Shi, Li Muchen immediately turned around and came to Lin Yinan.
"Has the emperor left the palace in the past few days?" Lin Yinan asked in a low voice.
"Nope." Li Muchen replied with great certainty.
Lin Yinan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Get the others back, leave you and Su Shi in the palace, and the others have other arrangements." β
"Is there news of the imperial concubine?" Li Muchen was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly asked.
"I'm not sure yet, but it should always be not far from the emperor."
"By the way, what is the origin of that old slave beside the emperor?" Li Muchen remembered another thing and frowned and asked.
Lin Yinan thought according to Li Muchen's description, it should be Liu Lei's right. "The old eunuch who has been with the emperor for decades, what's wrong?"
"I don't think this old guy is simple, and he's very alert." Li Muchen felt that it shouldn't be his own illusion, and a few times, Liu Lei seemed to be aware of his existence. And no matter where Lin Yunlong goes, Liu Lei will follow, and rarely leave Lin Yunlong's side. "And Xuanyuan Junfan's side, it seems that he has already begun to act. I met him in the palace. β
"The person who went was Xuanyuan Junfan?"
"Yes."
That may be what Xuanyuan Junfan deliberately wanted Li Muchen to discover, maybe ...... Lin Yinan secretly guessed in his heart. "Even he has already acted, Lin Yichen has really made a bloody investment."
Lin Yinan went to investigate the people around Nangong Lingfeng according to Lin Yunlong's will, and the facts proved that Lin Yunlong's worries were right.
Nangong Lingfeng brought some people back from the border pass this time, but he did not bring these people into the capital, but secretly arranged them in the Xuncheng area not far from the capital. The purpose of doing this is because he wants to keep an eye on Lin Mubai's troops stationed in Xuncheng? Or is there something else? Lin Yinan didn't bother to guess for a while. I personally went to Xuncheng to confirm Xia Han's safety by the way, and when Lin Yinan found out what the number of Nangong Lingfeng's group was, he was still embarrassed.
The soldiers carefully adjusted/trained by Nangong Lingfeng should all be good. It's a pity to kill it like this.
"Eighth prince, why didn't my sister come with you this time?"
"Well, she can't get out of it." Lin Yinan's contemplation was interrupted by Xia Han, he got up and prepared to leave, and advised: "Xuncheng has been in chaos recently, remember not to be found that you are here, otherwise even I will not be able to save you." β
"Well, I got it." Xia Han nodded nervously, most of the time in the secret room, she didn't know what was going on outside the road, and she was a little reluctant to send Lin Yinan away, it was a luxury for her to be able to see outsiders.
"You're quite concerned about this little girl." Chu Ziqian, who came with Lin Yinan, teased.
"It seems that you have been with Su Shi a lot lately, and even the nonsense has become more."
Is he hurting himself or is he hurting Su? Chu Ziqian's head turned a big corner, and after thinking about it, neither of them ran.
"See those people? Although Xuncheng used to be the territory of the Xia family, the Nangong family also has many cronies here. β
"It's a bit difficult to catch so many people all, right?" Chu Ziqian looked worriedly in the direction Lin Yinan was pointing and asked. "Even if you are caught, where are you going to be held?"
"There is a good place to go, but it's going to trouble Lord Mu again."
Lin Yinan's words made Chu Ziqian understand what he meant, thinking of Lin Mubai's indifferent and unsmiling face, Chu Ziqian smiled slightly. The people who dare to pluck the hair on that prince again and again are the only ones who are not afraid of death, Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyao.
Lin Yinan spent more than half a day searching for the city, and only returned to the capital after it was getting dark. Pushed open the door and dragged his tired body inside. When Lin Yinan saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"...... Concubine Ning?"
The appearance of Zining Frost surprised Lin Yinan, didn't she already leave the capital? How did you end up here?
"Close the door, I have something to say to you." Zi Ningshuang smiled indifferently, sat on the chair leisurely and said, "It's not easy to come out once, to make a long story short, I have to rush back." β
Zi Ningshuang looked up at Lin Yinan who walked in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Lu Zhiyao was arrested?" β
"Hmm." Lin Yinan hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Uncle Huang told you?" β
Although Lin Yinan didn't know where Lu Dao Purple Frost was now, he thought that Lin Mubai would definitely know the whereabouts of the mother and daughter of Lu Dao.
"Yes, and she's angry, saying that she doesn't fight." Zi Ningshuang recalled Lin Mubai's tone at that time, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise a little. In Zi Ningshuang's opinion, Lin Mubai cared about Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan, otherwise he would not have revealed their affairs to her. "Let's not talk about this for now, can you be sure where the emperor keeps her?"
"Concubine Ning wants to help me?"
"Only this time, I will repay your favor. Between Lord Mu and you, that's your business. Xiaoxue is my daughter, and if Lu Zhiyao has an accident, she will not be happy. β
Zi Ningshuang's words made Lin Yinan still silent for a while, and pulled her in, if there was danger, it would not only be one person who would be offended.
"Uncle Huang knows that you are coming?"
"I don't make a move, tell him what to do? You haven't answered my question yet, do you know where the road is being held? β
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be in the palace."
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought." Zi Ning Shuang's reaction gave Lin Yinan a glimmer of hope, but it stands to reason that the palace itself should be more familiar than Zi Ning Shuang, how could she guess where Lu Zhiyao was being held?
"There is a secret passage under the palace, which can pass directly outside the city, you shouldn't know about this, right?" Zi Ningshuang smiled lightly and said Lin Yunlong's secret, "If I'm not mistaken, Lu Zhiyao should be locked up there." As for the entrance, it's in your father's bedchamber. β
"What about the exit?"
"I don't know about this, and I haven't been in it, but I just stumbled upon this secret." After Zi Ningshuang finished speaking, she stood up, looking like she wanted to leave. "Since your father has tried so hard to catch her, he won't do anything to her so quickly, don't worry, she will be fine."
After appeasing Lin Yinan, Zi Ningshuang really went outside. Seeing this, Lin Yinan hurriedly followed and asked, "I'll send someone to send you." β
"No, I have other things to do."
"To see Uncle Huang?" Lin Yinan asked curiously.
"No, it's to see an old friend, I'm coming back today, remember not to let Lord Mu know."
I couldn't figure out the game between Zi Ning Frost and Lin Mubai, Zi Ning Shuang repeatedly emphasized that no one needed to follow him, and Lin Yinan couldn't forcibly send someone to protect him. Looking at the back of the purple condensation frost floating away, it was the first time to see the purple condensation frost show his hands and feet, Lin Yinan smiled softly. Those who can live in the palace really have their own abilities. I have long heard that Concubine Ning Guifei is extraordinary, even compared with Mu Wangye, but when I look at it today, I really didn't disappoint.
Lin Yinan returned to the room and reminisced about what Zi Ning Frost had just said. Lin Yunlong's dormitory was not so easy to enter, and even if he entered, it was impossible to find the entrance to the secret passage so quickly.
But then again, from the palace to the outside of the city, when did Lin Yunlong, who had such a long secret passage, start construction? Why didn't he even notice it?
finally got some news about Lu Zhiyao's whereabouts, and Lin Yinan's heart, which had been irritable for the past few days, was also a little calmer.
After another two days, Ruan Chen, who was poisoned by Lin Yunlong and had been bedridden at home, finally couldn't escape this catastrophe and died.
As the most famous imperial doctor, Ruan Chen's death undoubtedly shocked many people. Because I have never heard of Ruan Chen's serious illness or physical discomfort, the explanation of his sudden death is obviously unbelievable.
The court, which had been quiet for a while, began to be turbulent again, and many people began to speculate about what Ruan Chen's real cause of death was. Of course, there are also many people who are happy and want to take advantage of Ruan Chen's death to ascend to the throne and become the emperor's new confidant.
Tong Li, who had died of her husband, looked a little more haggard than she was poisoned at that time. Although there is money from the house and house rewarded by the emperor, how can the pain in the heart be compensated for by these things?
Lin Yunlong didn't feel anything when he learned that Ruan Chen was dead, because he originally wanted to be executed. But after Ruan Chen's death, Lin Yunlong gradually began to notice his physical discomfort.
The food used recently has been checked by Liu Lei's hands, so Lin Yunlong didn't think too much about it when he felt a headache at first, he just thought that he was too tired, so he was like this. Buried in the twists and turns all day long, Lin Yunlong rarely even went out and about. Aware of this, he occasionally went out to get some air. But the situation is getting more and more serious, and Liu Lei can see the end of the situation.
Early in the morning, Liu Lei's expression became serious when he was checking Lin Yunlong's pulse.
"Your Majesty, is there any discomfort in your body?" Liu Lei looked at Lin Yunlong worriedly and asked softly.
Lin Yunlong was leaning there and closed his eyes to recuperate, and opened his eyes slightly after hearing Liu Lei's words. He replied: "I haven't felt well in the last few days, and I have a headache, what's the matter, is there a problem?" β
