Chapter 156: Mutual Suspicion
In addition to the corpses of the three black-clothed people in the courtyard of Tao Ranju, there was also a woman in a jade dress, Qing Yuan recognized Qinglan's corpse at a glance, he looked surprised, and kept speculating about the reason in his heart, after all, he had been to Tao Ranju before, and it was normal here, but it was only a few hours, why did it become such a situation now?
"Lord Wang, there is a figure shaking in the house", suddenly, Mo Yun raised his hand and exclaimed to the main room.
Nangong Yu suddenly looked at it, it was dawn, but there were still candles burning in the room, the candlelight jumped, and the figure on the window was faintly visible, he clenched his fists and rushed in with a full body of evil energy.
"Bang dang", the door was vigorously pushed open, Shui Lianyue was slightly stunned, looking at Nangong Yu who was full of anger, and secretly said in his heart, I didn't expect him to come so quickly.
"Wang, Wangye", Dong Xue's body stiffened, she was closest to Nangong Yu, and she felt the strong evil aura on his body very lightly, and there was a chilling coldness.
Nangong Yu stepped into the main house, first looked at the red tassel lying on the ground, and then walked to the inner room, and saw Shui Lianyue falling to the ground weakly, at this time, Zhengyun Gong pranayama, the bed was covered with blood and had already died, and Qiu Ye was lying beside her, her eyes were closed, her arms were bright red, the wound was wrapped in a white cloth, looking at Shui Lianyue's pale complexion, and the blood stains on the corners of her mouth that had not yet dried, Nangong Yu's heart sank again, and her suspicion of her was half reduced.
"What the hell is going on"? He frowned, and said coldly in a low voice, Shui Lianyue just glanced at him lightly, and said with a touch of disdain on his lips: "Then I have to ask the prince how many enemies you have."
Nangong Yu's dark eyes suddenly turned cold after hearing this, and he was about to speak, when he saw Qing Yu walking in quickly, looking a little flustered, holding a scimitar and a token in his hand and handing it over, "Lord Wang, look."
He looked down, his body stiffened, and he was full of anger and wanted to go straight to the sky, the same scimitar, the same as the one he brought back, and the token, which was also engraved with a royal character.
Then, he looked up at Shui Lianyue, and there was a touch of inquiry in his cold eyes, she was Nangong Ling's pawn, why did Nangong Ling send someone to kill her? This, it shouldn't be.
Shui Lianyue rolled her eyes at Nangong Yu, slowly closed her eyes, and breathed on her own, she had thought about this matter carefully, if she could use this matter to make Nangong Yu's vigilance against her less and not let Nangong Ling suspect that she had different intentions, it would be a good thing for her, at this time, she really didn't need to say anything more to Nangong Yu.
After a long time, Nangong Yu withdrew his inquiring gaze, and countless thoughts crossed his mind, in addition to the reduction of suspicion about Shui Lianyue, his vigilance was also slightly relaxed, perhaps, Nangong Ling was just using Shui Lianyue to divert his attention?
"Mo Yun, send some good supplements to Tao Ranju, and also, go to Tinglanxuan to transfer Pei'er over to take care of the princess."
Mo Yun was stunned, and there was an unwilling order on her face, because the prince was angry, and she didn't talk much, so she had to stare at Shui Lianyue fiercely.
"Qingyuan, you send someone to clean up this place, and then come to Jinhuaju", Nangong Yu commanded in a deep voice, but her eyes were still fixed on Shui Lianyue, the cold color dissipated a little, although her face was pale, she still had the strength to mock him, then it proved that she couldn't die.
"Yes, Lord Wang", Qing Yuan said respectfully.
Nangong Yu slowly turned around and left, and when he just walked to the door, he turned his head and glanced at the inner room, although the suspicion of Shui Lianyue in his heart decreased, he still couldn't figure it out, the chess piece that Nangong Ling put in the palace had not yet played a role, how could he be eager to eradicate it?
Also, Nangong Ling has been fighting secretly with him for many years, and he also knows how deep Nangong Ling's heart is to kill him, but such a blatant assassination is definitely a stupid act, Nangong Ling is cautious and insidious, he shouldn't do this, suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, could it be that Nangong Ling couldn't bear it and wanted to break this layer of paper?
When Nangong Yu left Tao Ranju, Qing Yuan immediately dispatched the guards in the house to clean up Tao Ranju's mess, and ordered someone to send a few exquisite furniture and a few silk horses, and tossed until early in the morning before leaving, and Qing Lan and Qing Yu's bodies were also taken away by him, looking at Qing Yuan's behavior, Shui Lianyue's heart sank, she knew that Qing Yuan was a master of medical skills, if he carefully examined Qing Lan and Qing Yu's wounds, he would definitely find clues.
After Qing Yuan left, Mo Yun brought a handsome and well-behaved maid to Tao Ranju.
"Slave Pei'er has seen the princess", Pei'er knelt on the ground and saluted Shui Lianyue, while Mo Yun stood beside her, her bewitching appearance vaguely revealed a touch of arrogance, Shui Lianyue leaned on the head of the bed, and took in Mo Yun's expression through the white gauze tent, just hooked the corners of her mouth, disdainful of it, and then she looked at Pei'er with a touch of fierceness in her phoenix eyes, but seeing that she was weak, her arms were slightly thick, and there were some gray-white calluses on her wrists, she knew that this was grown up by doing rough work for many years, not with martial arts.
She bowed her head slightly, and said softly: "You get up, wait and go to the side room with Dongxue, during which you and Dongxue take turns to take care of the autumn leaves and red tassels, if the princess has something, she will call you, and you are not allowed to enter the main house to disturb the princess's rest without the summons of the princess, do you understand?"
Pei'er got up and lowered her head, and said softly, "The slave understands."
"The prince sent a maid to take care of the princess, why did the princess let Pei'er take care of those slaves?" Mo Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at the white gauze tent, with a sarcastic face, very dissatisfied with Shui Lianyue's arrangement.
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly, her eyes moved to Mo Yun, looking at the ridicule on her face, but she replied indifferently: "Since you are a slave, you have to obey the master's arrangement, isn't it?"
Mo Yun was stunned for a moment, knowing that Shui Lianyue had something to say, and it was clear that he was sarcastic about her, his fingertips suddenly clenched, and there was a touch of anger on his bewitching face, but he endured it without having a seizure, and now the prince's opinion of Shui Lianyue has changed, if she has an accident, I am afraid that the prince will blame, and in a blink of an eye she glanced at Pei'er without a trace, and the anger on her face dissipated, hum, slut, I will let you speak so fast today, and I am worried that my aunt and grandmother will not be able to teach you a lesson in the future?
"If the princess doesn't have any instructions, Mo Yun will retire first", then, Mo Yun lowered his head slightly and said a word and turned around and walked out, Shui Lianyue didn't bother to entangle with her, now that it was eventful, she didn't plan to deal with Mo Yun, she was a master of using poison, this is the most unguardable place, but if she really dared to poison her, she wouldn't mind getting rid of her.
Thinking of this, a trace of killing intent crossed Shui Lianyue's phoenix eyes, and it was fleeting, she waved her hand at Pei'er, and said a little tiredly: "You go down to find Dongxue, she will tell you what to do, this princess wants to rest for a while, and I don't need you to serve for the time being."
"Yes, Princess", Pei'er took the order, turning and exiting the main house.
Last night was still pouring rain, today the sun is shining, the hot weather will soon dry the rain-washed place, Tao Ranju once again returned to normal, the surrounding birds chirping, knowing that the irritating sound is not stopped, informing people that the summer is still the same.
In the imperial study of the palace, Nangong Ling slapped his palm on the dragon case, the anger in his eyes was eager to devour the person in front of him, and the dragon power that made people tremble all over his body, even the always shrewd little Lingzi did not dare to say more, and the secret guard kneeling under the dragon case buried his head in front of his chest, and the atmosphere seemed a little stagnant.
"Nangong Yu", Nangong Ling squeezed out these three words from between her teeth, her face was a little hideous, "I didn't expect that he sent a letter to Xiao Tian to collect grain privately, is there really no royal law in his eyes?" Or do you really think I can't do anything about him? Hmph, as long as I am still sitting on this dragon chair, I am the emperor of Jin Xi, and I can't tolerate him to be so presumptuous."
"Bang", there was another loud bang, and the recital on the dragon case fell to the ground due to the vibration.
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, please take care of the dragon's body", Xiao Lingzi on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt on the ground and choked.
"How can I not be angry? For so many years, although I have a grudge against him, I still have a trace of brotherhood in the end, otherwise I would have cut him off the title of prince a long time ago, condemned him and beheaded him, but what about him? One set on the surface, one behind the back, I even endured the assassination of the Queen Mother, and the good people let him do it, and what did I get? Narrow-minded, jealous, without the majesty of the emperor, cruel, and bad guys, I have all done it, and now, he actually collects grain privately? He's trying to rebel."
The more Nangong Ling spoke, the more excited he became, as if Nangong Yu was the dragon case in front of him, he held down the dragon case with both hands resentfully, eager to crush the dragon case, the secret guard below glanced at Nangong Ling, and said cautiously: "The emperor is angry, perhaps, this is King Yu's agitation method is not accurate, the people around King Yu have always been cautious, the emperor has not caught his handle for so many years, and his subordinates can intercept this letterhead lightly, and his subordinates have to doubt King Yu's motives."
Listening to the words of the secret guard, Nangong Ling gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was not unreasonable, he had not caught any tricks of Nangong Yu for so many years, and there was a clear intention of rebellion everywhere in this letterhead, he should not be so stupid, there must be a clue to this matter.
"Xiao Lingzi, if you go to Yuwang's mansion, you will say that I will hold a banquet in the Chengfu Palace at noon and let him enter the palace", half-sounded, the hideousness on Nangong Ling's face subsided, but there was a touch of weirdness in his eyes.
Xiao Lingzi was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Nangong Ling and wondered: "Will it be inappropriate for the emperor to summon King Yu into the palace at this time?"
"Hey", Nangong Ling waved his hand and said with a sneer: "Once upon a time, I and he have never been alone, the weather is very good today, and it is not bad to talk about brotherhood with him, other I have my own opinions, you don't need to ask, just go."
"Yes, Your Majesty", Xiao Lingzi respectfully withdrew from the imperial study.
Yuwangfu "what"? Nangong Yu glared at Qing Yuan in shock, "The letterhead sent to Luchang County was intercepted by Nangong Ling's secret guards"?
Qing Yuan lowered his head slightly, he didn't dare to look at Nangong Yu's face, standing in front of him, he could feel the chill emanating from the prince's body, "Yes, Nangong Ling's secret guard is very insidious and vicious, not only stole the letterhead, but also killed the person who sent the letter, and when the people from Lingyunmen arrived, the secret guard had already fled."
"Damn", Nangong Yu suddenly frowned, the killing intent in his black eyes became stronger, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and in an instant, there was a kind of earth-destroying momentum bursting out.
