Chapter 140: Tacit Understanding
Cheng Jiao's move to Jiangdong was to clear up her relationship with the royal murder case, and she was obviously the perpetrator, but she wanted to pretend to be a vice victim and angry.
Li Yuanlin and Helian Che both knew it, but for Ye Lingyi's sake, no one broke it.
So under the acquiescence of everyone, the crime of killing thirty people was finally blamed on some non-existent Gentile fine works, but Cheng Ji's great success caused the death of thirty people became a "fact", and the "fine work" he said - the garrison guards who stole the seals were also inseparable from Cheng Ji, and he was inevitably punished.
Li Yuanlin is not stupid, he knew that the capture of the green kite was his doing, although he hated him in his heart, he couldn't wait to release this old horseman from power, but from Helian Che's unusually attitude to guess that these thirty people died, I am afraid that it is closely related to the green kite, if Cheng Ji is punished too severely, it is not good that the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the green kite will also be involved.
When the time comes, the murder of the imperial family will no longer find such a good opportunity to cover up the past, and the world will be full of people, even if he is the emperor, he is afraid that he will not be able to protect her at that time.
This is a result that Li Yuanlin didn't want to see, so he thought about it for a while, and only ordered Cheng Ji to reflect on it behind closed doors and comfort the relatives of the deceased, and ordered Helian Note to investigate the matter as soon as possible.
A big crime of planting forces in the palace, falsely proclaiming holy decrees, and forcibly abducting palace maids was diverted in everyone's acquiescence and turned into an external force to intrude and cause chaos, and everyone knew in their hearts that this unfounded speculation would definitely end in the end, and finally cover up the crime of Cheng Ji, the culprit.
The two sides took what they needed, Li Yuanlin and Helian Che used this to keep Ye Lingyi, Cheng Ji was exonerated from the crime, and Helian Zhu got an ally with military power.
What will happen in the future?
The turmoil in front of the imperial gate has finally settled temporarily.
And Ye Lingyi had been guarding the door for a whole day because he was worried about Helian Che, and wanted to go to the imperial gate several times to find out, but because he was afraid of his special identity, he was afraid that it would be the opposite.
Tangled, he wandered behind the door waiting for Helian Che's return, but he couldn't wait.
Only then did Ye Lingyi know what it was like to be on pins and needles, and to be restless.
In the evening, Mrs. Yu was going out to the temple in the city to offer incense, Ye Cheng was not making a fuss and wanted to go together, but Mrs. Yu was old and took Ye Cheng alone, Ye Lingyi was not at ease, after all, Ye Cheng was a big ghost, not a fuel-efficient lamp, Ye Lingyi was afraid that something would happen when the time came, so he took Le Ya with them.
didn't think about it, but was rejected.
Ye Lingyi didn't give up, so she had to give up the little money she had left, and Le Ya went out happily.
This courtyard is very small, and when people are gone, it suddenly becomes surprisingly quiet.
Ye Lingyi slowly walked to the back of the door, and was about to open the door to see if Helian Che had returned, when the door of the small courtyard was pushed open from the outside.
"Helian Che!"
Ye Lingyi called out in surprise and joy.
But when he looked at it, the look of surprise on his face immediately froze.
I saw Qingfeng standing in front of the door, looking slightly embarrassed, and carrying two bags of things in his hand.
"Miss Green Kite, master...... He's gone to the barracks, and he's not back yet! ”
"I see!" Ye Lingyi only felt that the corners of his mouth were so hard that he could drop the slag.
Qing Feng entered the door, put the things in his hand on a small stone case in the center of the courtyard, and turned back to close the door.
Ye Lingyi looked at Qing Feng in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Then when did he say he would come back?" ”
After saying that, he felt that it was unlikely, and muttered with insufficient confidence: "No, maybe he will go back to the Taishi Mansion directly and not come here." ”
Although it wasn't her Ye Lingyi who hurt him last night, in Helian Che's eyes, Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Lingyi are the same person, what is the difference?
Maybe he annoyed her, blaming her for not hesitating to choose to leave him behind.
But Ye Lingyi didn't know how to explain to him that the soul last night was not her......
Just when she was at a loss, Qingfeng saw the worries in her heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry!" Today, the master did not return to the Taishi's Mansion, but also specially explained to me, so that you can rest in peace, and he will come back to see you later. ”
As he spoke, he remembered something again, pointed to the two bags of things on the stone case and said, "Look, that's what the master asked me to bring back!" Freshly baked cakes! The master explained, you have injuries on your body, maybe you don't have much appetite to eat, these snacks are still satisfying, but you can't be greedy! ”
He was so attentive that he even took such a small matter to heart......
Ye Lingyi's eyes were full of tenderness, and her little daughter's posture was revealed.
Seeing Qingfeng, a bachelor man, secretly called an envy, jealousy and hatred.
"By the way, how are his injuries?" After a while, Ye Lingyi came back to her senses from being moved and asked nervously.
Mentioning Helian Che's injury, the expression on Qing Feng's face became more solemn: "I don't know what the master thinks, obviously there are injuries on his body, after the matter of the imperial gate is over today, he still has to go to the barracks, don't you see, his face is haggard as if frost." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the stone desk and sat down.
Ye Lingyi frowned, worried.
Qingfeng Wu poured himself a glass of water and drank it, looked at her again, and added: "But you don't have to worry too much, our master Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the queen mother's iron whip was so powerful that it couldn't kill him, what is this injury." ”
Referring to the Queen Mother's punishment of him, Ye Lingyi thought that he was injured before and now because of her, and the guilt in his heart deepened.
"But I think it's very strange about this, you said that the master's martial arts are so strong, and he has never suffered such a big loss in all these years of fighting with people, why were you injured like that by a few little Blackwater people last night?" Qingfeng wondered.
Ye Lingyi's heart jumped violently with his words, and he walked over and asked, "What are you talking about the Black Water People?" ”
"It's the Blackwater man who fought you last night! Didn't they take you captive? Although the master didn't mention you in front of the emperor, taking into account the presence of Taishi and Cheng Ji, he only said that he didn't inadvertently meet the people of the Heishui Department disguised as a member of the Western Dynasty, but I guess it must have been those people who kidnapped you away, and the master chased after you, so he fought with them. ”
He actually said that the Blackwater people hurt him?
Ye Lingyi was shocked, vaguely guessed something in his heart, and asked, "The master mentioned the Black Water people in front of the emperor?" Why? Could it be related to the dead people of the royal family? ”
"How do you know?" Qing Feng smiled in surprise, "The group of Black Water spies who kidnapped you took away last night killed so many people, and the emperor has already ordered a thorough investigation!" ”
Sure enough, as she thought, the Blackwater people were used as a cover, and the blame was pushed on them! But why the Blackwaters?
Ye Lingyi fell into deep thought.
"But why did the Blackwater spy kidnap you? And what kind of peerless master, so many spies under Cheng Ji were wiped out. Qingfeng looked puzzled.
"Cheng Ji's spies?"
"It's those who died at the hands of the Black Water spies, I heard that Cheng Ji received a secret report that there were Black Water spies who had infiltrated Tokyo City, so she sent someone to investigate, but she was killed in front of the imperial gate by the Black Water spies who were secretly teaching and receiving from the palace!"
What does that mean? That group of people last night was Cheng Ji's men? The woman who was stabbed by Ye Zhenzhen is also Cheng Ji's person? Ye Lingyi recognized her, and the female assassin who appeared in the Huaen Hall on the day of the concubine ceremony was her.
If so, doesn't it just show that Cheng Ji is the mastermind behind the scenes? The purpose is probably to avenge Chengwei.
So that everything is much clearer.
It turned out that Cheng Ji deliberately let the guards lure her out, if she was more stupid that night, she didn't see through the tricks of the guards, and was taken to the western suburbs, and Ye Zhenzhen didn't appear in this body, then she would be a cold corpse at this time.
Now that the matter has been revealed, Cheng Ji saw that he couldn't hide the truth of the matter, so he came up with this idea. What a black water spy is just a scapegoat he fabricated out of thin air.
Regarding this, Li Yuanlin and Helian Che must also know this, but for her sake, they can only let it be restrained.
For a while, Ye Lingyi's heart was full of mixed feelings.
Qing Feng saw that she was in a bad mood, thinking about whether she had said the wrong thing and what she wanted to do to ease the tense atmosphere.
"That's right!"
Qingfeng, who was suffering from nothing to do, saw his eyes fall on the two bags of things on the stone case, Fang Fang's eyes lit up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he opened the package: "This is specially explained by the master, freshly baked cakes, eat them quickly!" If you don't eat it cold, it won't taste good. ”
Take out a piece of chestnut cake with a delicate shape and bring it to her.
Ye Lingyi subconsciously raised the right hand that was hit by the arrow, accidentally touched the wound, and immediately bared his teeth in pain.
"Yikes! I forgot, your arm hurts. Qingfeng exclaimed, holding the cake for a while, not knowing what to do.
Looking around, he asked, "By the way, what about my mother?" ”
"Aunt Yu went to the temple to make incense." Due to the hot weather, the wound was touched, and the intense pain soon caused a bean-sized bead of sweat to appear on her forehead, which flowed down her eyebrows and into her eyes.
A tingling sensation paused.
I wanted to rub my eyes, but Ye Lingyi's right hand couldn't be lifted, and her left hand was too clumsy, so I didn't know what I rubbed into my eyes when I rubbed my eyes, and the foreign body sensation was obvious, and I couldn't open my eyes.
Ye Lingyi couldn't cry or laugh, so she could only ask Qingfeng for help.
"Don't move yet." Qing Feng's expression was serious, she opened her eyes to take a look, and slowly blew in.
"Did you find it?" Ye Lingyi really couldn't stand this unbearable foreign body feeling, and tears overflowed.
Qingfeng frowned, smiled happily, and shouted, "Found it!" ”
"Huh? What is it? Ye Lingyi excitedly wanted to find out.
But he was stopped by Qingfeng: "Don't move!" ”
Qingfeng was wiping Ye Lingyi's eyes, but at this time, someone pushed the door in, and at a glance, he saw the two people who looked ambiguous inside.
A hint of gloom crossed his haggard eyes, and he walked over.
Qingfeng suddenly shouted: "Take it out!" ”
The look of great excitement didn't last long, and he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.
Turning his head sideways, he suddenly saw the haggard Helian Che standing behind him, his eyes like fire, eager to open a hole in him, gritting his teeth and smiling gloomily, it was the most terrifying appearance of the knife hidden in the smile: "What are you doing?" ”
"Lord...... Master! The excited expression on Qingfeng's face froze completely, and for some reason he suddenly had the illusion that he had done something sorry for him, and he bowed his head with guilt.
And Ye Lingyi, whose eyes were gradually returning to normal, turned his head after hearing Qingfeng's voice, and suddenly saw a man with a face like jade and a long body like pine, and got up in surprise and said, "Helian Che, are you back?" ”
