"Where have you been all these years? I have been looking for you, but I have never heard from you. "Wonhyuk asked me to sit down first, personally took the teacup from the maid and handed it to me, and then sat back.

I was a little stunned, a little hesitant, I can't tell him that I have been in Shaoshan for the past ten years, but most of the time I am like a tree, I just smiled lightly, and then diverted the topic. "I can't believe that you have changed so much in just a few years."

"Have you ever met your second brother?" Won Hyuk suddenly asked me.

I nodded, "I've seen it, and this time I'm going down the mountain for him." ”

"Oh?" Wonhyuk wondered with interest why.

"I was entrusted to take him as an apprentice, and when he was in danger in the world, I sensed that he was in danger, so I came to save him." I just took a sip of the tea in the cup, this tea is very fragrant, thicker, but it is not the taste I like, I put the teacup aside, and when I looked back, Yuan He was still waiting for me to continue, I asked tentatively, "I once heard Yuan Jue say, you asked him about my whereabouts, I told him not to tell me my whereabouts, you didn't embarrass him, right?" ”

"How so." Yuan He smiled knowingly, "No matter how naughty he is, he is always my second brother, and since my father became seriously ill, he is the only person I can rely on in this court." ”

I thought that Yuan He had killed his siblings, but I didn't expect him to express his brotherly love for Yuan Jue in righteous words. This makes me a little confused, and the Wonhyuk I recognize shouldn't be someone who can pretend to be a lie.

I still have a lot of things I want to ask him, but since he said so, I can't ask anymore, so I have to say, "I also heard Yuan Jue mention it before, saying that when the monarch was seriously ill, you stopped the heavy responsibility and got married, and now I feel that you are all adults." ”

Who knew that after hearing this, Yuan Hyuk didn't care, "Do you remember when we said that the people trapped in the royal city must be the ones who want to abandon their true hearts?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that there was such a thing. At that time, I was new to the world, and I didn't understand the complexity of the human heart, but I didn't expect him to remember, I only smiled and nodded awkwardly.

"Now, even I am a trapped person in this royal city." The loneliness in Won Hyuk's eyes was obvious, but he continued, "At that time, I remember that I swore that I would not be the one trapped in this royal city. But as a result, it was still difficult to escape fate, my father suddenly fell seriously ill and was unconscious in bed, and my second brother was stubborn and ignored people's words, so I had to accept the heavy responsibility of supervising the country for my father. At that time, I didn't even have a person around me to help me, I had no soldiers, no real power, I could only marry the daughter of Lord Meng according to the marriage contract that my father had set for me, and rely on the power of the Meng family to help me gain a firm foothold in the court. ”

I couldn't help but sigh, and thought that at least Yuan Hyuk was lucky, but when I heard him say this, his marriage to Master Meng's daughter had become a choice that had to be made, so I felt that his life was so difficult.

"If you were there at that time, I don't think I would have ......" Yuan Hexu saw that I didn't speak, and I misunderstood something.

"Actually, that's not bad." I interrupted him, in fact, I had vaguely guessed what he wanted to say, but I always felt that it was better not to let him continue to misunderstand, "Your marriage with Lord Meng's daughter, he will definitely assist you in political affairs." Since your wife has such a powerful father and comes from a famous family, she should also be knowledgeable and generous, enough to match you. ”

Won Hyuk's face suddenly became not very good-looking.

At this juncture, although I really want to ask him, whether he joined forces with Lord Meng to delay the reinforcements, so that Yuan Jue and them almost died in Cold City. But I know, I can't ask, Yuan He seems to have been on guard against me for a long time, judging from the few words he just said to me, it is really difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, I don't doubt him or may suspect him wrong, I just think that among Yuan Jue and Yuan He, Yuan Jue is the one who will never lie to me.

The words were in my mouth, and I wanted to ask, but I could only lower my head and pretend that it was okay, if he was suspicious of me, at this time, I had to pretend that I didn't know anything, so I could save Yun Chu.

"By the way," I pretended to remember, "I just saw, why is Yun Chu in prison?" ”

Yuan Hyuk calmly adjusted, and waited for me to ask for a while before he explained, "I won't tell you the truth, not long ago, I received a secret report from a person who once served my mother, saying that my mother's death is still unsolved. I ordered a thorough investigation, what was going on, but I didn't expect people to check and check, and finally found Yun Chu. ”

"How so? How could it be Yunchu? "I pretended to be surprised.

Wonhyuk wasn't in a hurry to continue, but instead seemed to be extraordinarily calm at this time, and he quietly turned his head sideways, as if to notice my reaction.

"Yun Chu, is it really related to Yun Chu?" I was looked at by his eyes very uncomfortable, as if he was deliberately looking for my flaws, and I became more and more cautious, afraid that he would notice something.

"Yun Chu is Mrs. Qimo's personal maid, and the year my mother's Mrs. Ruyi died, Fang Qiao was born with my second brother one after another, what do you think?" Wonhyuk didn't find the flaw he wanted to see through, but immediately after, he threw me a very difficult question to answer.

"This ......" I knew that he was tempting, but I couldn't help but answer, thinking about how to save Yun Chu, but Yuan Hyuk made me a little inexplicably afraid, he has changed, he is really different, at least the former Yuan Hyuk will not make me feel that his mind is difficult to guess, nor will it give people such a strong sense of oppression, I replied carefully. If this matter is really related to Yun Chu, it is indeed not difficult to think that it was instructed by Mrs. Qimo behind her, but I don't understand, since twenty years have passed since Mrs. Ruyi's matter has passed, why is it only now that someone has reported it? Ten years ago, I was injured and lost all my skills, but fortunately I was taken care of by Yun Chu, so that I slowly recovered, I can't take a position on this matter, no matter what I say, I have selfish intentions for Yun Chu. I don't dare to guarantee that Mrs. Ruyi's matter has nothing to do with Yun Chu, but there is something strange at this time, I hope you can really find out. ”

I'm afraid that the relationship between me and Yun Chu, Yuan He never knew, but hearing this made him relax a little, he thought for a moment and said, "In that case, how about leaving this matter to you to investigate?" ”

Leave Mrs. Ruyi's matter to me to investigate? I couldn't figure out what Won Hyuk was up to. "If you let me check, aren't you afraid that I will do something out of it and steal from Yunchu?"

Yuan He laughed, "I still have this confidence in you, since I dare to hand it over to you to investigate, I naturally believe the results you find." In the past, you were so enthusiastic that you had to help Mrs. Li regardless of a qiē, even if you ended up ...... in the end" I don't know if he deliberately mentioned the Li family to make me wary, or if he really remembered the beginning, "I believe in you, I have only believed in you since ten years ago, I have never seen a person who will not care about the life and death of others, it is you who let me see that the truth will always be revealed to the world, I believe that there is fairness in this world." If this matter is handed over to others to investigate, I am also worried that they will deliberately frame Yun Chu in order to curry favor with me. ”

Is it that simple as that he asked me to look into it? I can't believe Won Hyuk in front of me, it's impossible for everyone to say that he has changed in the past ten years, and what I see him is still the same as before.

"Niyin girl, I don't want to harm any innocent people to be implicated, I just want to find out the truth back then. Would you like to help me? Won Hyuk said even more sincerely.

Since I originally came to save Yun Chu, I also thought about telling Yuan He what happened at the beginning and asking him to let Yun Chu go. So now that he has given me the opportunity to find out what happened to Mrs. Ruyi in the first place, what reason is there to refuse?

"It's fine." I say. "Then you have to sue me, how much you know about the original situation of this matter, you can sue me as much as you want. I will definitely not let Mrs. Ruyi die in vain, and I will never wronged an innocent person. ”

"Good!" Yuan Hyuk clapped his hands and shouted, very appreciative.

"This matter starts with a secret report, and this secret report was sent to Lord Meng's mansion. Seeing that the situation was serious, Lord Meng received the news and entered the palace overnight and handed over the secret report to me. Won Hyuk recalled what had happened at that time.

Tipsters? "What's written in the secret report?"

"There is only one sentence," Won Hyuk replied truthfully, not showing the slightest sign of concealment, "Lady Ruyi died of witchcraft in the palace. ”

Mrs. Ruyi died of palace witchcraft?!

What does this mean?! I remember that when I saw the spirit of Mrs. Ruyi in the palace who had been reluctant to leave for a long time, her appearance was not only miserable, but it seemed that there was really a little difference, but I never knew what was different.

I also heard Master Nan talk about the death of Mrs. Ruyi, it was very terrifying, and even the chief steward in her palace had an accident.

By the way, Master Nan?! Outside of the dream, Master Nam is dead, but here, Wonhyuk doesn't know about Master Nam, and it's possible that he's still alive, so he's probably one of the very few people who happened now.

Twenty years ago, witchcraft, just these two conditions, was indeed not unrelated to Yun Chu. But Yuan Hyuk shouldn't have been until Yun Chu's identity, and when I thought of this, I asked him again, "Then how did you suspect Yun Chu?" ”

"This matter is also a coincidence, at the beginning, I sent people in the palace to secretly check all the people who may have something to do with this matter, but in the past 20 years, there have been several changes in the palace people, and now the people who are still in the palace have been checked one by one. Until they found Yun Chu, Yun Chu didn't say anything, they detained her first according to the rules, and then went to Yun Chu's residence to search, and just found a witch doll......"

The rest, even if Won Hyuk doesn't say it, I can probably figure it out.

But, Witch Doll?! Based on this clue alone, I can already confirm that someone deliberately blamed Yun Chu, with Yun Chu's ability, how could she leave such an obvious loophole? And Mrs. Ruyi did not die from the curse of the witch doll, this curse method is known to everyone, it is widely spread in this world, it can be said that everyone knows it, will Yun Chu be stupid enough to use such a method?

"Where is that doll now?" I thought that this doll should be an extremely important clue.

"Someone's coming." Yuan He got up, stood at the door and shouted, and immediately opened the door from outside the hall, and a person dressed in a guard's costume came in, he leaned over and entered the hall, and he never raised his head, let alone looked at me, Yuan He said, "Go and bring all the evidence of Yun Chu's matter, don't alarm anyone." ”

"Yes." The man replied very respectfully, and then withdrew.

"Yun Chu refused to say anything, so that these people could not be investigated, I instructed them to continue to look for new clues, and these things were kept in a place strictly guarded by the palace guards for the time being." Wonhyuk turned around and explained to me again, "How is it, can you think of how to check?" ”

In fact, I have an idea in my heart, how can ordinary people who don't know the art of witchcraft know the difference between witch dolls and others? They found the witch doll, so naturally they couldn't check it any further, "I'll try it." ”

"Looks like you've got an idea. What kind of conditions are needed? Yuan He said calmly, "If you need it, you can open your mouth at any time, and I will try my best to do it for you." ”

His promise was unexpectedly big, and I was a little panicked when I heard it, and after reacting, I tried to ease the atmosphere just now with a smile, "If there are conditions, I really have one." ”

"You can mention it as much as you like." Won Hyuk didn't care at all, he agreed without thinking about it, which surprised me a little.

"I don't know, do you know a woman named Jialan, can you help me find her?" If I need anyone, it must be Jialan, who is the most well-connected person among them, and the only person in this palace who is proficient in spells except for Yun Chu.

"This ......" Yuan Hyuk didn't expect it, he didn't expect me to mention Jialan, but he had already said what he said before, so he had to respond, "I know her, if you need it, I will send someone to find her." ”

I knew he would find Jialan.

All the clues are almost in my hands, and now I am going to start investigating the events of the year, and I decided to start investigating from two places at the same time, one is to find out the whereabouts of Master Nan, and the other is to find out who framed Yun Chu.

This person, doesn't he know Yun Chu's identity?

He first sent a secret report to Master Meng, and then he could put the witch doll in Yun Chu's room during Yun Chu's detention?!

Maybe he really knew Yun Chu's identity, implying to everyone that it was Yun Chu who killed Mrs. Ruyi. It's just that he probably doesn't know what the witchcraft used by Yun Chu is, this person, that is, he is close to Yun Chu, but he has never seen her cast spells, who is it?

In any case, this clue of the witch doll must be investigated from Yun Chu's side, including Mrs. Qimo.

"Since you have entered the wooden city, do you have a place to stay?" Won Hyuk asked coldly. (To be continued.) )
