Chapter XXII: Human Witnesses

Guo Tinglan finally knew that the legendary prince who loved his sister was not false at all, and for the princess, he would really kill even the imperial concubine. Suddenly frightened, he couldn't care about anything anymore, walked to Tairan on his knees, and said loudly: "Your Highness's subordinates have mercy!" I'll tell you the truth, it really wasn't the mother who did this, it was Urnaran next to her, who somehow pushed the princess off the lake. You can call Ouran to ask! ”

When Concubine Jing'an heard her say this, she hurriedly shouted: "It's Urryan's little hoof, she killed me, prince, let him put down the knife......"

calmly retreated, and distanced himself from Guo Tinglan. The frost had already pushed the shivering Ouran out. Concubine Jing'an scolded: "Dead wave hoof, how did you push the princess by mistake, say it yourself, don't implicate me!" ”

Uran Lan looked at her, and just as she opened her mouth to say, Concubine Jing'an shouted again: "You have to tell the truth!" Your parents and younger brothers are both working with Marshal Guo, don't bother them! ”

Yinglan's face suddenly turned like ashes, and she lowered her head and said: "The slave maid brought tea to the princess, but who knew that the hull of the boat shook, and the slave maid reached out to grab the railing, and accidentally pushed it to the princess......"

calmly watched the three of them act coldly, and he already knew everything in his heart. But he knew that Yan Ran was afraid of the emotions of his father and Xie Dingran, so he refused to tell the truth. I can only follow her wishes. Said to the wind: "Leave her whole corpse!" ”

After that, he didn't look at the two people on the deck, he was on tiptoe, and he floated ashore with Yanran and went towards Qixiang Palace.

The four dark guards let go of Concubine Jing'an, and flew away with Urouran on their backs.

Guo Tinglan looked at the fluttering back of the white clothes, and she was afraid and hateful in her heart, and there was a stupidity that she couldn't explain. I was speechless for a moment.

Back in Qixiang Palace, after Yan Ran recovered her spirits, she took care of Tai Ran, and did not tell her father about her drowning, she was only worried that bad news would lead to the deterioration of his condition. calmly understood her intentions, she always preferred to wronged herself rather than increase the burden on the people around her, so she said: "You always think about others in your heart, even Concubine Jing'an and Guo Tinglan, but you put yourself and me last." Yanran, when can you think only about us? ”

Yanran lay on his chest and was speechless for a long time.

On the second day of the first month of June, Xie Zhenfei suddenly had symptoms of hematemesis, Yan Ran and the imperial doctor immediately arrived, after taking the pulse, Yan Ran knew in her heart, knowing that he couldn't delay it for a few days, she thought that she was trying her best to maintain it with medicine, and it could be delayed for a little longer, which seemed to be an extravagant hope. The toxicity of Maximus is indeed not to be underestimated.

Immediately added more qi tonic medicine to the prescription he took daily, and Imperial Physician Zhang was greatly impressed by Yanran's methods, saying that if it weren't for the princess, the emperor would only be afraid...... Yan Ran understands what they mean, they have a lot of scruples about using medicine, and they may not dare to be as bold as her, and the result will of course be completely different.

The imperial doctor and Yan Ran went to discuss the prescription, and Xie Zhenfei said to Tai Ran: "I know that I can't delay for a few days, I thought that I could clear the obstacles for you with my own hands, it seems that it is up to you!" He took out a stack of papers from under his pillow, "This is the evidence of An Zhaoxiong's rebellion collected by the people I sent, you can take a look, if you can, you can do it, I want to see the court return to clarity with my own eyes." Send you to the throne, and I can leave with peace of mind. ”

Hearing this, she knelt down and wept sadly, "Father, you have to be strong, Yanran will have a way to save you." Yan Ran and I also have some evidence about An Zhaoxiong's matter, and we will do it in the next two days. ”

Xie Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction: "You and Yanran are good partners, what you have done after entering the palace has been very successful, and your father knows it." Calm, Yanran is a smart child, you have to take care of her! He looked at Calm, his eyes were deep, like a surging sea, and Calmness always felt that there was a lot of hiding there that he did not know.

The next day, in the mansion of An Zhaoxiong, Marquis of Lieyang, a man who looked like a guard hurriedly walked into the study with his head bowed and presented a secret report to An Zhaoxiong. An Zhaoxiong opened the note, which read: "Yue Qi fled with important items, and the prince secretly tracked him down, and he left the palace at the time of Chen." ”

An Zhaoxiong felt inexplicable: "Who is Yue Qi?" What is important? ”

The guard replied: "The lowly detective found out, Yue Qi and Yue Han are both people around Concubine Jing'an, Yue Han had objects handed over to him before leaving the palace, a few days ago Yue Qi tried to enter Qixiang Palace, was imprisoned for theft, and somehow escaped again, it is estimated that he has the objects left by Yue Han." ”

An Zhaoxiong was taken aback: "There is still a beginning and an end to the matter of Yuehan?" Wasn't it already cleaned up a long time ago? ”

"Humble and incompetent! I didn't expect him to see through our plan in advance and leave physical evidence! ”

An Zhaoxiong's face was cold: "What will be that important object?" ”

Beads of sweat as big as soybeans appeared on the guard's face: "I don't know about my humble duties!" We have no physical evidence in his possession, except for the packet of medicine, which is the promised reward of twenty taels of silver! ”

"Where did you get the silver?"

"The lowly position is received from the money bank as usual!"

An Zhaoxiong's eyes widened angrily, and he kicked the guard to the ground: "Stupid! The big silver of the Anjia Qian Village is marked, didn't you directly lead the target to us? ”

Then he shouted out of the door: "Prepare the horses!" Be sure to find this person before the crown prince! ”

As he spoke, the door was suddenly pushed open, and An Yefeng swept in like a gust of wind, and said, "Dad, calm down!" The son feels that there are many doubts in this matter, and he must not act rashly and fall for Xie Tairan's plan! ”

An Zhaoxiong sneered: "Do you think I can still count on you? In addition to going to the kiln to hook up with women, what good things have you done? Seeing that the human and physical evidence is about to fall into their hands, you actually told me not to act rashly? ”

An Yefeng shouted: "Dad! With Xie Tairan's brain, he won't be stupid enough to let that Yue Qi escape, I suspect that he is cheating! ”

An Zhaoxiong trembled with anger: "He's not stupid, are you saying I'm stupid?" Son, get out of the way! If you delay the search for Yueqi, I will kill you! He was in a hurry to catch Yue Qi, and he didn't have the heart to entangle with him at all, so he pushed him and hurried out.

He had always despised and hated this eldest son. An Yefeng sat on the ground, his heart like ashes.

In Yongzhou City, a chase drama was officially staged.

An Zhaoxiong led a group of government soldiers to search the streets and alleys of Yongzhou City, but there was no trace of Yueqi. An Zhaoxiong sat in an inn, listening to reports from all walks of life, saying that no one could be found. An Zhaoxiong was only worried that Xie Tairan would find someone first, so he ordered to expand the search area and find Yue Qi.

Finally, the search team came to report that someone had seen a small chamberlain in prison clothes heading out of the city, and had come to ask Hou Ye An to show him. When An Zhaoxiong heard this, he hurriedly ordered all the horses to go out of the city, and he also rode his horse to the city gate.

Outside the city gate is a wasteland, at the end of the wasteland is a forest, An Zhaoxiong saw a group of government soldiers around a person at the edge of the woods from a distance, his heart was happy, and he rushed over. Sure enough, I saw a teenager standing there with a frightened face, and the swords of the Fubing Gate pointed at him. An Zhaoxiong reined in his horse and stepped forward, shouting, "Are you Yue Qi?" ”
