Chapter VII: The Three Princes
"Did the emperor hear that the envoy came to Beijing this time for marriage?" I heard that the marriage was a princess of Donghao, and it turned out to be a princess, and the object of this marriage was naturally to be chosen from the princes of Shang Liguo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sheng Fan was a little impatient, "What is the queen mother worried about this, the son is now the prince, and the father will never send a prince to marry, and although the only marriageable princes in the palace are me and the third brother, the third brother has not been loved by the father and the emperor all these years, and there was such a thing back then, if nothing else, the object of this marriage must be the third brother." ”
Seeing that the prince was so sure, the queen was completely relieved to be a little worried before, but after thinking about it, if the unfavored third prince Sheng Li really became Donghao's attached horse, then Donghao would not become his power in the future.
"Even if the emperor doesn't think of the marriage to your head, don't take it lightly, although the three princes are far away in the Great Wilderness and pose no threat to us for the time being, but if he becomes Donghao's attached master, then Donghao's power still doesn't know who will fall into his hands."
Sheng Yan was a little surprised in his heart, he only thought that he could let Sheng Li leave Duliang City far away, so that he could not pose any threat to himself, and ignored the power of Donghao Kingdom, in fact, according to the situation that Donghao Kingdom has been able to fight with Shang Liguo in the past few years but has not been defeated at all, it can be seen that the power of Donghao State is not under Shang Liguo!
If it was as the queen mother said just now, Sheng Fan frowned, and sent Sheng Li to get married, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountain and burying a dark pit for himself.
The search on Qujiang's side could not find results, so Yiye asked the leading guards to take everyone back to the palace first, and he walked around Qujiang to the hut where the boat docked on the shore.
Since before the incident, these black-clothed men came to Duliang City by boat, why did the ship disappear after the incident, except for the dead bodies.
Yiye now has two conjectures, one: when the boat was carrying these men in black across the river, it encountered a murderer, so he threw down the men in black and rowed away;
Two: After the murderer killed the man in black again, he burned the ship directly in order to avoid leaving clues.
"Old man, what kind of identity do you say those people are, so there are suddenly so many officials on this river!"
"You old woman is in charge of other people's affairs, you care about the identity of those people, we are in charge of our own livelihood, and it would be good to mix our own food."
"But didn't you tell a military master just now that you saw a fire on the river that night? Don't fool that military master! “
In front of the hut was an old couple, the man was dragging an ebony boat up from the river and tied it to a stake with a rope, and the woman was carrying soybeans in a bamboo basket.
Iye was standing not far from them, and when he heard the firelight, he was about to step forward and ask for clarification, when he saw the old man who was tying up the black boat suddenly turned around, his eyes as big as lanterns, and swept Iye up and down.
Before Iye could speak, the old man ran into the house, pushed the old woman into the house, and closed the door with a "snap".
The old woman was so frightened that she threw away the basket, which was littered with soybeans and a few that fell to Iba's feet.
Intuition told Iye that the old man would hide when he saw her, and that there must be a ghost in his heart.
Because she was wearing a purple finch pattern coat and a plain brocade cloak on the outside, this is her outfit in the palace on weekdays, even if she can't recognize this outfit, ordinary people will know that she is an official at a glance.
And just now, the old woman accused the old man of being a fool of being an official, and it was obvious that someone had just asked her the question she wanted to ask, that is, what strange phenomenon had been seen on the river three days ago.
When Iha was stunned, "Need help?" A warm voice rang in my ears.
Iye had heard this voice more than a hundred times in his dreams, but when it actually reappeared, Iha realized how cowardly he was, and he didn't even have the courage to look at him.
Sheng Li was wearing a blue plain brocade robe, with a few bamboos embroidered on the brocade clothes and a few auspicious clouds embroidered on the two wide sleeves.
His face was cold, his expression was slightly tired, and the journey from the Great Wilderness to Duliang was originally a month, but he was shortened to more than twenty days, and he even slept on the galloping carriage on the way.
Although his expression is not good, he still can't hide the immortal-like aura around him.
Yi Ye saluted with his back to him, "I've seen the three princes." When Sheng Li didn't come back, she could talk to herself in the mirror for a while, but now that he was standing beside her when he came back, she didn't know what to say.
"I heard that you became Yi Chitose, shouldn't I congratulate you?" Sheng Li listened to the sound of the third prince, and his heart sank slightly.
In his memory, there was still the snow-like child ten years ago who took his hand and called him Brother Li, but in a blink of an eye, that child had grown into a handsome young man and became the feared Yi Chitose of everyone, and he was no longer the Brother Li in his mouth, but an irrelevant and dispensable third prince.
"Thank you to the three princes, I wonder if the three princes are here in any hurry?" Iye never dared to look back. According to the itinerary, Sheng Li should still be on the road now, why did he suddenly appear here?
"Because the people in black who died were all people from the Great Wilderness, my father ordered me to identify them." Sheng Li Tie's face was blue, in fact, he said that he came to recognize his identity, I am afraid that my father has long suspected that these people in black are related to him, and he may even suspect that he is the mastermind behind the killing of those people in black.
Yi Ye didn't speak again, she took two steps forward, thinking about another thing, the thing that the prince said that day made her so sick that she couldn't sleep, Donghao's envoy was about to enter Duliang, and then the marriage would be a foregone conclusion, and Sheng Li was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for this marriage.
I don't know about the marriage, did he know in advance, what did he think in his heart?
Seeing Yi Ye walking forward, Sheng Li thought that she was going to ask the couple about Qujiang, and immediately walked in front of her, "If you want to ask anything, I'll ask, the old couple will be frightened when they see the clothes you are wearing today." ”
Yi Ye didn't hear what he was talking about at first, but when he saw him go straight to the wooden house, he remembered what he was going to ask just now, and hurriedly said, "Then there is the third prince of Lao, please ask the third prince to ask the couple for me, what strange phenomenon can I see on the Qujiang River three days ago night." ”
Sheng Li glanced back at her in agreement, and then reached out and knocked three times lightly. "Old man, I'm not an official, I'm just a scholar passing by, and I heard about the Qujiang River, so I'm curious to ask."
