Chapter 021: The Cause of the Wooden Box

When he returned to Yongning Palace, Jian Ning had already ordered people to prepare breakfast, although it was already too late to eat breakfast at this time in ancient times.

After returning from Fengyi Palace, Jian Ning's heart was in turmoil, and she began to guess all kinds of things about Xiahou Leling, and then she was denied by herself one by one

Even Long Zeye didn't pay attention when he came back, and she didn't come back to her senses until Long Zeye sat next to her and talked to her.

"Ai Gaoyi's affairs are still smooth?" Jian Ning took a piece of sushi to the plate in front of him for Long Zeye and asked.

Long Zeye just wanted to grab the sushi with his hand, he obviously covered it up very well, and he didn't show any bad or sad expression, and usually Jian Ning would never take the initiative to ask about these things, why was he so anxious to ask today?

Long Zeye put down his chopsticks and looked at Jian Ning strangely, "Did you hear any news?" You don't have to worry about that, I'll take care of everything. ”

Jian Ning didn't reply to Long Zeye's words, but took the box that Le Ling gave her and put it in front of Long Zeye and said, "You can take a look at the contents of this box first, maybe it will help you." I haven't opened it yet. ”

Long Zeye glanced at Jian Ning suspiciously, took the wooden box, untied the buckle on it, and opened it.

There wasn't much in it, just a stack of papers.

Long Zeye took out the paper inside and opened it to look at it, and Jian Ning also leaned over.

As they browsed through the things on the paper, both Long Zeye and Jian Ning's faces showed an incredible expression. Long Zeye was surprised because he wondered why Jian Ning had something that he didn't even have time to get. And Jian Ning was surprised because she wondered why Xiahou Leling had these things in his hands.

"Where did you get this wooden box?" Long Zeye asked after quickly skimming through all the papers.

"The queen invited me to tea not long ago, gave me this, and said that I would be able to use it soon." There was a strange smile on Jian Ning's face, with a little reluctance in the smile. With a little irony, and a little skepticism.

Hearing such an answer, even Long Zeye could no longer ignore Xiahou Leling's question. This wooden box contained the letters between Ai Gaoyi and those rebel generals, as well as Ai Gaoyi's handwritten letters calling them back to Beijing to prepare for rebellion.

It seems that she expected it very accurately, and today is above the court. Things didn't go well. Is it? Jian Ning said lightly.

"Yes, Ai Gaoyi destroyed all the evidence against him before us, and even killed people. But I'm afraid even he didn't expect it. He still has such a fatal incriminating evidence left. Long Zeye told Jian Ning about the current situation. These were originally national events, and Jian Ning was a concubine, so she was not allowed to participate, but as long as Long Zeye didn't mind. A qiē will not be a problem.

"I feel compelled to meet my queen." Finally, Long Zeye looked at Jian Ning and said.

"If you feel the need for it. Let's go. Jian Ning didn't stop her, but said with some concern, "But I'm worried that you won't be able to ask anything." ”

After eating something with Jian Ning, Long Zeye went to Fengyi Palace. I wanted Jian Ning to go with me, but Jian Ning refused.

If Ai Gaoyi's matter is not resolved for a day, Jian Ning will not be at ease for a day. After all, behind Ai Gaoyi were those explosives that were so powerful that they frightened her. Eighteen from time to time will bring back from Tianhua Mountain to copy the books copied by Liule Mountain. Jian Ning must read them to the end and learn them. Even if it can't stop Ai Gaoyi. At the very least, he must be able to compete with it, so that he does not dare to do whatever he wants.

After Long Zeye took Fan Chengfu and other palace maids and eunuchs to Fengyi Palace, he took the lead in ordering the lifting of the grounding order of Fengyi Palace.

But what everyone didn't expect after that Long Zeye was blocked outside Fengyi Palace by Xiahou Leling.

"Your Majesty, the princess is unwell and is not suitable to drive, I hope the emperor will forgive me." Feng Zi stood at the gate of the palace and saluted back to Long Zeye in a regular manner.

Fan Chengfu just wanted to step forward to teach this palace maid who didn't know the rules a few words, but he didn't want to be stopped by Long Zeye.

Long Zeye knew that what Le Ling said was just an excuse, because he didn't want to see him. But he is not such a good person: "Since the queen is not feeling well, then I should go and see the queen's situation." Fan Chengfu, immediately go to the imperial doctor. ”

When Fan Chengfu heard this, he really quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, the princess is alive, her face is haggard, I am afraid that she will offend the emperor. Please also ask the emperor to go back for the time being, and when the princess is better, she will go to the emperor in person to ask for guilt. "Feng Zi is not an ordinary little palace maid, in the final analysis, she is also a capable person trained under Xiahou Yan's hands, how can she be so easy to deal with.

"It's okay, I don't mind, I just want to show my concern for the queen. Of course, if the queen really cares so much about her face, she can put down the bed curtain. ”

Even though Feng Zi intended to stop it, he couldn't stop Long Zeye, who had made up his mind. In desperation, Feng Zi had no choice but to say to Long Zeye: "The emperor waits for a while, and then the slave maid will ask the princess what my princess means, and then reply to the emperor." Feng Zi walked back after speaking.

Long Zeye was not in a hurry, he really waited outside like that. Because he knew that this trip Leling didn't want to see it, but he had to see it. Otherwise, today's events spread in the harem, and she may not be able to live a peaceful life again.

As Long Zeye expected, Feng Zi came out soon after, and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the princess invites you in." However, please understand that the princess wants to recuperate, so please go in alone. ”

"You're all waiting outside." When Long Zeye heard this, he simply addressed the palace people behind him.

Entering the main hall of Fengyi Palace, Feng Zi also retreated, and closed the door when he left.

Long Zeye entered the inner hall and really saw Le Ling leaning against the head of the bed, and the veils beside the bed were all put down.

"If the emperor is looking for a concubine, just say it directly, but if you can sue the emperor, the concubine will tell the truth." Le Ling's cold voice came out through the veil.

"So, the queen still has some secrets that can't be said?"

"What the emperor said is a little ridiculous, who in this harem doesn't have secrets?" Le Ling's voice was silent, and he asked rhetorically.

Long Zeye heard that there was no rebuttal, yes, which one of them in this palace has no secrets, and which one is really simple? Even if there were, it can't be now. Because no matter how simple a person is, once he enters the big dye vat of the palace, in the end he will either be dyed black or lose his life.

Thinking of this, Long Zeye smiled slightly sarcastically, and asked directly, "Why do you have that wooden box in your hand?" ”

"It's just that I was entrusted by someone and handed it over to Concubine Yi." Xiahou Leling didn't have any extra words, but simply explained, "He is just fulfilling the promise he once made to Concubine Yi." As soon as Ai Gaoyi fell, Qiao Qi no longer had a place to stay, and he was bound to lie dormant for a long time. ”

"Who's entrusted with that?" Long Zeye asked with a frown. He suddenly realized that he had missed a lot of things about Ning'er. On top of that, Long Zeye had a strong premonition that these things he missed might change their future.

"This emperor can go back and ask your concubine Yiniang, as long as you tell what the concubine just said, she will know who that person is."

"Is that person a witch? What is your relationship with him? Long Zeye's thoughts turned quickly, and after a while, he looked at Le Ling's figure and asked.

In his opinion, the only person who can be faster than him by Jian Ning's side, and who can be so elusive, is the so-called descendant of the Wu clan. But if that's the case, what is the relationship between Leling and him? He remembered that Jian Ning had mentioned before that on the night when Wu Shi helped him detoxify, Le Ling had stopped Qiao Qi regardless of his own safety.

At that time, he couldn't figure out the purpose of Le Ling's doing, but now he thinks it's probably because of this man called Wu Shi.

"I have no comment on the concubines." Although Le Ling's voice was faint, there was an unpressable pressure.

"You don't have to answer, but I'm sure I'll be able to find out all of this." Long Zeye nodded with a smile and said, "Last question, are you the real Princess Leling?" ”

"Does the emperor think that according to my imperial brother's ability, he will recognize the wrong person?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Le Ling's words.

Hearing this, Long Zeye suddenly smiled and said: "According to his mind, he really won't mistake his imperial sister, but if it is deliberately arranged, it is not accurate." ”

"The concubine believes that according to the emperor's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to verify the identity of the concubine."

Long Zeye didn't ask anything more, turned around and left Fengyi Palace.

In the evening, Fu Yi came with King Xiang to ask for a meeting.

"Now I'm here to see you, but everything has been clarified?" Long Zeye still needs to take care of his body in the past few days, so according to Jian Ning's wishes, he did not go to the imperial study to deal with things, and all things were handled in Changle Palace. This is also good for Jian Ning to rest assured.

"Brother Hui, the matter is half clear." King Xiang replied respectfully, "Those rebel generals were all poisoned to death, and the source of the poison was a kind of Gu worm hidden in their bodies. We have asked Miss Qianlan to confirm this. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to Miss Qianlan, that kind of Gu worm is an extremely secret Gu worm, called Qianri Yin. As the name suggests, if no one urges the Gu worms to wake up, they can remain in the human body for several years or even decades without attacking. Yi Yi also immediately said.

In this way, Ai Gaoyi was ready to sacrifice them at any time early on. Sadly, they may not know at whose hands they died until they died. When Long Zeye heard this, he only sighed sarcastically. (To be continued) R466
