Shen Yan'er felt very strange when she came to Lanyue Residence yesterday, there was no one in the courtyard, and even Concubine Wan was not allowed to approach, only two guards from Jiyang Prefecture were guarded. In fact, King Jiyang made such an arrangement because he was afraid that Twilight would become a walking corpse and hurt people after his death.
"Lord Wang, you hurried to the capital, not only to see the princess for the last time, but also to help her see her off with your own hands......"
The moment she saw the knife wound on Twilight's forehead, Shen Yan'er understood everything.
"You already knew that the princess was infected with the poison of the walking dead...... I just said that I was a 'murderer', but I was wrong, I should say that I was a 'helper'. You traveled thousands of miles to the capital just to help the princess maintain her human posture after her death......"
King Jiyang's face became more and more solemn, and his gaze changed when he looked at Shen Yan'er.
Shen Yan'er remembered that Phoenix Ke once said that the poison of the walking corpse is evolved.
People infected with the poison of the walking dead die in less than an hour now, but those infected with the poison of the walking corpse more than ten years ago can survive until they die - just like Ah Qiao, Ah Zhen and the rest of the Shen family.
"You know too much...... King Jiyang took a deep breath and looked at Shen Yan'er again, feeling very incredible. How much more do you know? ”
Shen Yan'er controlled her feelings and replied calmly: "I also know that more than ten years ago, the Emperor Taishang sent an army to investigate the news of An Li's corpse army, but no one in that army survived. Not all of them were really killed by the walking corpses, but even those who escaped alive were ordered to be buried in the pit......"
When the old things were brought up again, Shen Yan'er felt extremely heavy, as if the tragic scene of the year was in front of her. Although she had not experienced it herself, she had seen it in her dreams more than once. The bleak lament that Ah Zhen hummed before she died never faded from her mind.
King Jiyang did not interrupt her, but listened quietly. His calm face was dyed with a little sadness, and his gaze staring at Shen Yan'er was a little distant, as if he recalled the situation at that time. After seeing King Jiyang's reaction, Shen Yan'er was even more sure that he was the person who had personally experienced the tragedy that year, so her words became even more explicit.
That's the point.
"The drug carriers back then should have been soldiers from the two countries, and it stands to reason that the princess could not have access to the drug carriers, and all the real drug carriers ......" Shen Yan'er's sharp gaze locked on King Jiyang's face, "It should be you, the prince?" ”
The king of Jiyang, who leads the troops to fight and fights on the battlefield, is most likely to come into contact with the walking corpse.
"You have been ...... Have the walking dead bitten? Shen Yan'er asked sharply.
King Geeyang didn't make a sound, which should be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
In this case, when the Emperor Taishang ordered all the wounded to be buried, King Jiyang should also be on the death list. Since he is not dead, it proves that he has at least committed the "crime of bullying the king" and concealed the truth of his injury from the emperor.
King Jiyang still didn't make a sound, but his expression began to become unnatural.
Phoenix Ke once said that the poison of the walking dead can also be transmitted between husband and wife. And Twilight was infected by King Jiyang. In addition to Twilight, in the past ten years, the people they have come into contact with, including Wan Guifei, may have been infected.
Wan Guifei has entered the mass grave and smelled the poisonous lamp oil of the Changming lamp, and after death, she will become a walking corpse, so even if Phoenix Ke wants to kill them all, she will not do anything to Wan Guifei. However, the rest of the Jiyang Mansion is in trouble......
"What did you mean by saying just now, worried that the emperor would take measures?" King Jiyang didn't answer Shen Yan'er, but asked a question himself. He asked cautiously and conservatively, as if he had a premonition of something, and that nervous tone proved that he had believed Shen Yan'er's advice.
After listening to Shen Yan'er's words just now, King Jiyang found that the weak woman in front of him knew far more about the poison of the walking corpse than he did. Such a Shen Yan'er will not talk nonsense and be alarmist.
The matter is very important, Shen Yan'er must say bluntly: "I am afraid that after the emperor knows that the princess is poisoned, he will make up his mind to kill everyone in the Jiyang Palace......"
King Geesun gasped sharply.
"Maybe you can't believe that the emperor can be so cruel...... Because even before I saw him kill everyone in my family, I couldn't believe that someone in the world could do such a cruel thing so decisively and indifferently......"
So Shen Yan'er briefly told the story of the demise of the Shen family. She didn't exaggerate, deliberately scandalized Phoenix Ke, but just used the simplest words, the most indifferent attitude, and said it slowly like an understatement, which made the listener King Jiyang deeply moved and sighed.
"Of course, Lord Wang, you have a respectful identity, and you are a good general who guards Jiyang Prefecture, even if the emperor wants to take any measures, he will definitely think twice. However, he will never sit idly by and let it go, he will inevitably take action against the Jiyang Palace. ”
This is the phoenix in Shen Yan'er's eyes. He is powerful and cold, resolute and cruel, but at the same time he has the magic that can shake Shen Yan'er's faith violently.
Just like now, while Shen Yan'er advised King Jiyang, her mood was actually conflicted. She was even silently asking herself, "Is it wrong to sue the king of Jiyang?" "Because if those who carry the virus continue to infect others, so that the virus continues to spread outward, it will inevitably lead to even more terrible disasters in the future.
"Then what we can do now is to try to hide the truth as much as possible, so that the emperor will not find out about the cause of Xin's death......" King Jiyang sighed, his heart heavy.
Shen Yan'er nodded, but what she thought in her heart was: Maybe the emperor already knew.
Because Phoenix Ke is such a person with great powers.
Jiyang Wang Xingshi rushed to the capital in a crowd, and it was impossible for Phoenix Ke not to send someone to spy on him. Perhaps what happened in King Ning's mansion had already been secretly told to his ears by the spies.
For a long time that followed, the two men who fell silent fell into deep thought. King Jiyang was probably thinking about how to hide the cause of Twilight's death, but Shen Yan'er was thinking about whether she should take this opportunity to ask King Jiyang about another matter.
"Miss Yan'er, do you want to take something?"
Without waiting for Shen Yan'er to make up her mind, King Jiyang had already taken the lead in speaking.
Only then did Shen Yan'er realize that she had unconsciously put her hand on the place where the tiger head gold medal was hidden. In that case, just ask.
After making up her mind, Shen Yan'er took out the gold medal that was tightly wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms. "I don't hide it, I do have something I want to ask the prince......" As she spoke, Shen Yan'er gently opened the handkerchief.
As soon as the gold medal showed a horn, King Geeyang gasped violently, as if he had already guessed what it was.
"How did you have this?" The startled King Jiyang hurriedly pressed Shen Yan'er's hand to prevent her from taking out the gold medal.
