Chapter 3 The Road is Difficult
Ye Qianling searched around the lake, but still didn't find any of the handles left by the murderer, because of her brother's sadness, she didn't say a word from the time she was looking for the handle, and Chu Ming didn't bother her behind her, even if this atmosphere was comforting, the sadness couldn't be eliminated.
Why can the killer do so well, the time of pinching is so accurate, and even a single evidence is not left, it is still accurate to calculate that the guards of the palace guard cannot pass through Liuxin Lake during that time, the calculation is too accurate, and it is definitely done by the people in the palace. But who in the palace has the courage to murder the prince? Ye Qianling really couldn't figure it out, and couldn't think of any suspicious person.
Turning his head to look at Chu Ming, the latter was startled by this gaze, his body shook, and he still asked tentatively: "Fifth princess, what's wrong?" In fact, Ye Qianling didn't want to say anything to Chu Ming, but she was pondering, what was the problem? Chu Ming saw that Ye Qianling didn't answer, and after waiting for a while, his eyes were numb, and he didn't have any expression on his face, as if he was looking at something else through his body, and still asked, "Fifth princess?" ”
Hearing this voice, Ye Qianling came back from his thoughts, and when he saw Chu Ming so close to him, he was startled, and hurriedly took a step back and opened a safe distance, a little embarrassed, "Ah Ming, I was thinking about things just now, but I couldn't figure it out." ”
Looking at Chu Ming's eyes that seemed to be slightly inquiring, he still asked, with puzzlement in his tone, "Who in the palace can do it so well, I really can't figure it out." ”
"Why do you think it must be someone in the palace, even if you pinch everything just right, isn't it possible to inquire about the duty time in the palace, and the murderer mixed into the palace, isn't the time pinched so good just to make us enter the misunderstanding of thinking, thinking that the people in the palace did it? If we follow the direction he gave us, we will never find anything, and we may even wronged others. ”
Hearing Chu Ming say so many words at once, Ye Qianling was a little surprised, and squeezed out a little smile and quipped: "Ah Ming, I rarely see you say so many things at once," Ye Qianling raised his head and looked directly at Chu Ming, even if he was not in the mood, he still sighed lightly, "Thank you, really, Ah Ming." But ......"
I wanted to say something, but Ye Qianling still didn't say it, it's not that I don't know Chu Ming's feelings for me, but there is no way to force myself to fall in love with someone, at least I can't do it, Ye Qianling couldn't hold back a slight irritability in his heart, and still didn't say anything.
After adjusting his state, he patted Chu Ming's shoulder with a smile, paused, and nodded slightly, "I know." "Anyway, because I've been looking around the lake and still haven't found it, I'm still going back to the place where Ye Qianhao had an accident.
Ye Qianling saw that his mother was coming back, and wanted to rush to Mu Ziying's side to ask for a hug, but seeing the two fathers and emperors next to him, he thought about it and didn't add fuel to the fire. In the past two years, this situation has been common, and I would persuade it earlier, but in the end, I didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere. Princess Mu on the side comforted Concubine Lu awkwardly, but the words she said didn't make any waves at all, and Concubine Lu still didn't react for a long time when she called back.
After a while, his father and queen mother actually hugged him. Ye Qianling's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, thinking that she hadn't seen these two hugging for a long time, it seemed that the atmosphere could finally be eased, otherwise the five children of these two people would be embarrassed, and both sides would be comforted, but neither side would please them.
Because the whole atmosphere was depressing, Concubine Lu suddenly fainted from crying at this time, everyone was startled, Emperor Guangde and Mu Ziying glanced at each other and immediately picked up the upper half of the person's body, turned his head to the person next to him and ordered to call the imperial doctor quickly.
Everyone gathered around Concubine Lu, and as soon as Ye Qianling walked over, she smelled a strange smell, looked down and thought about it, and raised her head suddenly, this smell turned out to be exactly the same as the smell on Ye Qianhao's body! Originally, it would have been soaked in water to lose its own taste, but this taste is so recognizable.
Ye Qianling suddenly remembered that he stepped into the battlefield for the first time, was an ordinary soldier under his eldest brother, fought in Anguo for two days and two nights, and beat the country to a slump, bowing his head and subduing his subordinates.
Turning back and forth on the scene, trying to find the owner of the smell, but walking and walking, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, but the answer was so unacceptable.
It's the queen's personal maid Wan Feng! This queen mother who has to be called Aunt Feng all night has to respect the most loyal maid Wan Feng!
Seeing this person, Ye Qianling's whole person stayed in place, motionless. Yes, who can kill a prince without a sound, who has such courage, and who knows the rotation time inside the palace so well.
But why, Ye Qianling's legs were weak, and the whole person fell down, a little unable to stand the blow, Princess Mu next to her grabbed her violently and lowered her voice: "Are you okay?" Ye Qianmu saw that her legs were weak, and her body trembled slightly under the major blow, and she was a little stunned, she didn't expect that Ye Qianling would suddenly become like this.
Ye Qianmu held Ye Qianling's back, stopping other people who wanted to come up to help, lowering the decibels, with a slightly worried look on her face, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Knowing that this matter must not be easily divulged, especially outside, if one less person knows, it will hurt less, and who can stand their mother killing their half-brother. But in this case, as a child, how can he betray his mother.
Ye Qianling eased his mind, gasped violently, raised his head for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were trembling when he looked carefully, and his face was pale. When Ye Qianmu saw this, her body shook, "Ling'er? "How did it suddenly become like this, this appearance has been a lingering mystery for many years to come.
"Did you hear what I'm saying, Ling'er? What the hell is going on?" Ye Qianmu was a little anxious, she had never seen Ye Qianling like this, and she knew that something was definitely going on.
"It's fine." Ye Qianling finally eased up, broke away from her hand, waved her hand, and covered her arm that was injured in this battle because she was too far in the past, "It's okay sister, I was injured a few days ago, and suddenly my arm hurt a little." "Straighten up, you can't let people see anything.
"I'll go to the Tai Hospital to bandage my sister first, and I'll come back later." After speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Qianmu to answer, and walked away quickly.
What to do, Ye Qianling is now irritable, but in addition to being irritable, there is also a trace of fear and sadness, this matter is in a dilemma, but the balance in his heart has not hesitated to tilt towards his mother, and all he thinks about in his mind is how to remedy it. If you hide it from the world, can you hide it, and if there are any factors that are unfavorable to the queen mother, you will not hesitate to eradicate it. But when I think of my brother, who is less than two years old, my heart is dripping blood.
"I heard that the Praetorian Guards just found a lady's earrings at the scene, the one with a green diamond edge, and they are being used to identify it, and I don't know who dared to kill the prince in the palace, and after catching this person, he will definitely copy the nine clans." A few palace maids on the side were discussing by themselves, but they didn't see Ye Qianling who was quietly eavesdropping on the rockery in the distance.
Without further ado, this kind of thing can't be delayed, Ye Qianling knows that if he delays any longer, he will not only find out Wanfeng, but also find the queen, and when the mother of a country does this kind of thing, the result can be imagined.
Ye Qianling immediately sneaked to the queen's bedroom, and found the remaining particularly familiar earrings from the evening maple room. This earring is the treasure of the late maple, the baby of the queen mother who congratulated her on her marriage, and is worth 10,000 taels of gold. In addition, I also saw the Chinese medicine with sleeping ingredients hidden in the room by Wan Feng, turned it out and took it away, returned to his dormitory and put it away, and quietly returned to the place where the incident occurred, but the person was no longer there, and I heard that Wan Feng had been arrested and interrogated.
Knowing that this matter is not good, as soon as he catches the evening maple, the queen mother will definitely be suspicious, I don't know why the queen mother did this, I really don't understand, but now I can't help but satisfy my curiosity.
In order to prevent suspicion, he swaggered to the Tai Hospital to bandage, and after the bandage, he went out in the eyes of everyone but secretly went back to get a bottle of poison, put it in his bedroom, and after completing all the arrangements, he came to the hall where Wan Feng was being interrogated, and before he entered the door, he heard the sound of a stick hitting the flesh and skin, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Wan Feng's clothes were soaked with blood when she fell to the ground, and the soldiers on both sides with torture rods as thick as the wrists of adult men kept attacking her, and the scarlet blood stained a patch. Wan Feng twitched up and down on the ground as the stick fell, until her whole body spasmed and she lost consciousness.
"Emperor Qiqi, I searched the residence of the late palace maid, and I didn't find anything that could be done." Xun Xun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, walked quickly to the hall and returned. When the emperor heard this, his originally annoyed face relaxed a little inexplicably, and he glanced at the anxious queen mother on the side, and saw Mu Ziying angrily turning around to leave, Emperor Guangde immediately stood up and wanted to hold the queen, and the queen mother immediately broke away from him, helped Wan Feng and walked straight out. After the queen mother left, she only heard Xun Xun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, hesitate, and said with some doubts: "But the minister found another earring and the remaining sleeping pills in another palace." ”
The emperor immediately stopped chasing the queen mother, and turned his head to look at him with a terrifying face, "Who dares to murder my prince?" Emperor Guangde's speech increased significantly, he turned around and lowered his arms, and his voice was cold like a demon that had just crawled out of hell, "Who?" ”
Ye Qianling knew that everything was inevitable, and he didn't know what would come, so he smiled lightly and bitterly, just listening to Xun Xun's voice was incredible, as a military general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, he would still be so procrastinating.
Emperor Guangde was a little impatient, and Zhengse urged, "Tell me quickly, who is it?" Who has such guts? Seeing that Xun Xun, who had always been decisive in killing without hesitation, would hesitate, knowing that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, he was waiting for him to speak.
Xun Xun hesitated for a second, then turned his head to look at Ye Qianling, who had just come in and was silent on the side.
