Chapter 259: Provocation
"Okay, since you see it, don't cry anymore, crying into tears, how distressed should Lord He be?" Joan quipped.
"Sister......" Ziyan complained a little shyly, Ruo An pulled her hand and held it in her palm and said, "Ziyan...... You must be brave, and you will be happy......"
Ziyan nodded: "Hmm! I will work hard, and I will be as happy as the princess's sister......"
At the mention of Leng Chen, Ruo'an couldn't help but feel sad, smiled awkwardly and let go of Ziyan's hand, Ziyan saw this and hurriedly persuaded: "Is my sister still sad?" ”
Ruo'an didn't say anything, and Ziyan asked, "Sister doesn't believe in the prince?" ”
"It's not...... It's just that the closer the day gets, the more my heart is worried......"
"Sister......" Ziyan called, but didn't know how to persuade Ruo'an: "Don't worry, I'm fine, let it be...... Okay, you go back and rest, I'll go to the study to see the prince......"
"Sister, are you okay alone?" Ziyan was a little worried.
Ruoan shook his head: "What can happen in the palace?" Don't worry, you don't have to accompany me today, go back and rest, your eyes are swollen like this, how can you see people tomorrow? ”
"Sister! You're laughing at me again! ”
Ruoan smiled: "Okay, let's go back quickly...... Obedient ......"
"Hmm......" Ziyan nodded, and reluctantly went out.
Joan also stood up, straightened his clothes, pushed the door and walked out.
In the study, Leng Chen was sitting at the desk sorting out official business, Ruo'an's steps were light, and Leng Chen didn't notice it for a while.
It wasn't until Ruo'an picked the wick brighter that Leng Chen raised his head, saw Ruo'an standing in front of him, and said with a light smile: "You're here......"
"Well......" Ruoan also replied lightly: "What are you busy with?" ”
Leng Chen put down the fold in his hand, stretched out his hand and said to Ruo'an: "Come here......"
Joan walked over obediently. Leng Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed her waist, and sighed lightly: "Voodoo has been active again recently, and many places have reported that they have found signs of Voodoo cultists' activities...... Before there were any major casualties, the imperial court ordered the tracing of the cult and vowed to wipe out the cult ......"
As soon as he heard Leng Chen say this, Ruo'an's heart tightened, could it be that Shan Lin started to act again?
Ruoan asked, "Have you ever found someone to stare at Shan Lin, the prince of the Kelan Kingdom?" ”
Leng Chen nodded: "Naturally, there is, he is the most suspicious object......"
"Did you find anything?" Joan asked.
Leng Chen sighed lightly: "Not yet...... If so, it wouldn't be at a loss now......"
Joan took a deep breath. Slightly nervous: "If I tell you that Shan Lin deliberately rebelled...... Would you believe it? ”
Leng Chen was stunned for a moment, but then smiled: "I believe ......"
Ruoan was anxious: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious!" ”
"I'm not kidding...... I can be sure of so many incidents before, even if there is no hard evidence. Shan Lin has this heart......"
Ruoan nodded, thinking that since Leng Chen was mentally prepared. I'm not afraid to explain what Princess Condensation told me. So Ruoan told Leng Chen about Princess Condensation's speculation.
Naturally, she didn't mention the matter of Princess Condensation, everything was just her own guess.
After listening to Ruo'an's words about the national lineage of Wanqing Country and the feng shui of the three-point broken dragon vein, Leng Chen frowned. Although Voodoo has been active in recent years, he has not heard any news about the broken dragon vein.
If it is as Ruo'an said. Then Shan Lin still needs someone to be a sacrifice, and the altar must be set up in the imperial city...... In this way, it is almost impossible.
"Shan Lin has a close relationship with Voodoo, and they have already performed two sacrificial ceremonies. Once it's me, once it's ...... Princess Condensation ......"
Leng Chen's brows suddenly wrinkled together: "What did you say?" Condensation? Where did you hear about this? ”
Ruo'an was suddenly nervous, and waved his hand again and again: "You can deduce it...... Shan Lin wants to break the dragon vein, choose a human sacrifice, and Princess Condensation disappeared mysteriously on the way to send her relatives...... If the sacrifice can use the royal blood of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms......"
Without waiting for Ruo'an to finish speaking, Leng Chen understood: "The momentum will be even greater......
"That's right......" Ruo'an breathed a sigh of relief, this panic almost couldn't be overcome, but fortunately, Leng Chen was smart and could see through it at all.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder that I haven't been able to find Sister Condensation...... Presumably he was killed...... Bastard! Leng Chen slammed the table, shaking the inkstone on the table, and the pen and ink on the table were all shocked, Ruoan hurriedly held Leng Chen's hand and said distressedly: "What are you doing here?" ”
"I've been looking for Sister Ning for so long without results...... I can't think of ......" Leng Chen's voice was a little choked, Ruo'an immediately panicked, she only thought about helping Condensation hide her whereabouts, but she forgot how much Leng Chen cared about Condensation's life and death......
"Isn't it all our guesswork? Besides, Princess Condensation is not the same, she was killed......" Ruoan tried his best to start maneuvering.
"What do you mean?" Leng Chen looked at Ruo'an with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you speculate that Condensation had been sacrificed and killed?" ”
Joan explained, "You think, if the Condensation Princess is really successfully sacrificed...... I'm afraid that the Voodoo cult is gaining momentum now......"
Leng Chen frowned: "According to what you say...... Is there a chance that the condensation will survive? ”
"I don't dare say that, but ...... I believe that Jiren has its own natural appearance...... Princess Condensation may be watching you silently somewhere in the world, but she just can't come out to see you because of all the hardships......"
Leng Chen suddenly became suspicious: "Do you have news of condensation?" ”
"I didn't ...... The whereabouts of the princess naturally have to be found, but now the top priority is to stop Shan Lin and his voodoo, and we must find solid evidence to cure him......" Ruoan hurriedly changed the subject.
Leng Chen sighed: "How easy is it to talk about...... Shan Lin is cautious in his work, we have been staring at him for so long and have not caught any clues about him, and even in the palace, the murder that happened right under his nose still can't control Shan Lin, and he still has the support of the queen's mother, how easy is it to bring him down......"
Ruo'an stroked Leng Chen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, there will always be a horse's feet...... Careful is ......"
"Hmm......" Leng Chen responded, leaning his head on Ruo'an, Ruo soothed his hair and whispered: "After the wedding, can I still be close to you so often?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"She's the main room, and I'm ......"
"Fool...... Whom I want to be near is my business, what does it have to do with her? Just stop thinking nonsense, okay? Leng Chen said and got up and hugged Ruo'an, Ruo'an reluctantly repaid him, unwilling to let go for a long time.
When Ruo'an woke up, the sky was already bright, she woke up hazy, and when she reached out to touch it, she found that Leng Chen was no longer by her side, and she was slightly lost in her heart, but thinking that the affairs of the court and China were busy, she didn't think much about it, and got up and dressed herself.
Hearing the sound in the room, Ziyan pushed the door in, seemed to have a good rest, Ziyan was full of spring light, and slowly walked in to serve Ruo'an to get up, Ruo'an quipped: "The face is so good, is it possible that I dreamed of Lord He last night?" ”
Ziyan's face turned red: "Sister, you're here again!" Always make Ziyan happy......" Ziyan said don't look over, Ruoan smiled: "You look so good when you're shy, I'm reluctant to marry you off......"
Ziyan was shy, looking nervous: "Did my sister talk to the prince?" ”
"Not ...... yet"
"Oh, it scared the hell out of me......"
"What? Don't you want to marry sooner? Joan asked.
"Everything is too fast, I ...... Still...... Not ready yet......"
Ruo'an smiled lightly: "Then take a break, the prince has been busy with state affairs recently, and he will get married soon...... I can't pull away, let's wait until he's done with this......"
"Hmm...... But it's up to my sister to call the shots......"
After breakfast, Ziyan helped Ruo'an to walk around the yard, the wedding is approaching, the projects in the house have ended, most of the people are missing, and it is a lot cleaner, plus the weather is good, Ruo'an, who has been stuffy for so many days, also came out for a walk.
Not long after sitting down in the courtyard, a family member came to report that Princess Siyi had come to visit.
Ruo'an hadn't seen Siyi for a long time, and she didn't know how this girl was doing recently, so she got up and went out.
"Sister-in-law!" Princess Siyi was very excited when she saw Ruo'an come out to greet her, and she was awakened from afar.
"Greetings to the princess...... Ruo'an bowed and was dragged up by Siyi: "Why do you need to be like this in your own family?" "I haven't come to visit my sister-in-law for a long time, and I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me......"
"Why? Just come...... Ziyan, go and prepare the princess's favorite tea and snacks! Joan commanded.
"Yes......" Ziyan retreated.
Ruo An took Princess Siyi's hand and sat down in front of the stone bench in the courtyard and asked, "I haven't entered the palace for a long time...... Is everything okay in the palace? What happened to the Queen Mother's body bones? ”
"My sister-in-law still cares so much about Grandma Huang...... I'm also sad that Grandma Huang loves you so much...... Grandma Huang's body is fine, but she is old, and she is a little tired from praying for the eldest brother before, and she has always been very sleepy recently, and there is nothing ...... beside her" Siyi responded, although her tone was calm, Ruo'an still heard a trace of frustration from it.
"Oh? Then why is the princess worried? Is something wrong? Joan asked.
Siyi is a child after all, her thoughts are all written on her face, she smiled awkwardly, and just as she was about to speak, the family in the palace came to tell her again.
"Mrs. Qiyu...... The crown princess ...... her, "The family is spitting, Ruo'an understands when she hears it: "Let her in......"
"Shan Yanran? What is she doing here? After the family retreated, Princess Siyi asked curiously.
Ruoan smiled bitterly: "She comes often, I'm used to it......"
"This woman is arrogant and domineering in the palace on weekdays, and few people like her, so this time she must have bad intentions! Isn't it a demonstration? ”
"Demonstrations? How do you say that? Joan asked.
"Isn't it? Sister-in-law, don't you know yet? ”
"Know what?"
"Uh...... The date of the second brother's canonization ceremony was set, and on the third day after the eldest brother's wedding...... "Princess Siyi responded.
Ruo'an's body is tight, and the time to come is finally coming...... (To be continued......)
