Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Concealment of the Year
The eighth prince really began to panic now, "Father, if the son is wrong, you can forgive the son this time, the son also heard that the ninth sister was used by someone to scatter the soul, so he thought of using this method to treat Miss Shen's ......"
"You said that Ah Jiu's search for death involved ecstasy?"
The emperor grasped the key point in the speech of the eighth prince, his Ah Jiu was not unable to think about it back then, but because he was framed, what did his Ah Jiu encounter back then that would make him think of suicide?
The emperor's heart ached for a moment when he thought about it, and before he knew it, he burst into tears.
Ah Jiu is the father is sorry for you, the father thought that he could protect you, but he didn't expect that you would be framed by a traitor, the emperor thought about it and gave birth to a raging anger in his eyes, he must find out the truth of the year and avenge his Ah Jiu, what a kind and beautiful person his Ah Jiu is......
The Eighth Prince realized what he had just said, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he wanted to redeem it, but found that it was too late.
The Emperor glared at him with an extremely serious gaze, "Tell me everything you know, and if there is any concealment or lie, you should know my methods." ”
The eighth prince trembled in fright when he heard this, "Father and Emperor Erchen don't know much, after the accident of the ninth sister back then, Erchen just heard Imperial Doctor Wen mention it, and wrote it down." ”
"Imperial Physician Wen?" As if remembering something, the emperor's eyes flashed, if I remember correctly, Imperial Doctor Wen had passed away three years ago.
At that time, he didn't take Imperial Physician Wen's death to heart, and now it seems that Imperial Physician Wen's death back then was also very strange, maybe it was done by someone in secret.
The emperor's face suddenly turned cold when he thought about it, and someone was plotting against him under his nose!
The emperor had already made up his mind to find out about this matter, appeased Du Yanwan for a few words, and punished the eighth prince, so the emperor summoned Zhai Yeqi.
Zhai Yeqi didn't know when he came, the emperor called him for the matter of the ninth princess, and it wasn't until the emperor said his intention to call him over that he was stunned.
Is it related to the suicide of the ninth princess back then?
Until he walked out of the imperial study, Zhai Yeqian had not recovered from what the emperor said to him just now, he once fell in love with the girl at the top of his heart, did he choose to commit suicide because he was persecuted?
Zhai Yeqian suddenly felt a little confused, he had always avoided touching the past, but it turned out that the person who hurt her behind her back had been at large?
God, what the hell has he missed all these years?
Du Yanwan sought justice for himself, and it was inconvenient to stay in the palace longer, the six princes took the initiative to send Du Yanwan out of the palace, Du Yanwan had been worried about the body of the six princes, and asked him to send him to the palace gate, urging him to go back quickly.
The sixth prince listened to Du Yanwan's words and returned to the palace, and Du Yanwan also got into the carriage that had been prepared early in the morning.
Not long after Du Yanwan got into the carriage, she felt the carriage shake violently, and she finally stabilized her body, but found that the carriage stopped and did not move.
"What's going on?" Du Yanwan asked outside.
But no one answered her words, and Du Yanwan couldn't help but lift the curtain to check the situation outside.
It's just that as soon as she exposed her head, she saw a cold sword stabbing towards her, Du Yanwan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was so frightened that she stepped back, because she stepped on her skirt, Du Yanwan fell, and because of a blessing in disguise, the sword grazed the place she just now.
After the killer misses the first blow, he quickly raises his sword and stabs the second sword.
Du Yanwan's body rolled around on the carriage, the killer chased Du Yanwan and chopped, the good carriage was suddenly torn apart by a series of actions of the killer, Du Yanwan's body rolled to the ground, and the pain made her can't help but wring her eyebrows.
There was no time to delay more, and after Du Yanwan fell to the ground, the fastest reaction was to run.
There are a lot of killers coming, the alley is filled with murderous aura, Du Yanwan is powerless to complain at the moment, a small alley is full of killers, she can't escape this time, who did she offend, she has been hunted down!
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Du Yanwan's body involuntarily moved closer to the corner of the wall, as if leaning against the corner of the wall could bring her a sense of security.
The killers gradually moved closer to her, giving her the feeling that she was about to become a turtle caught in an urn, God, I have such a little back!
Du Yanwan's lips trembled and she looked at the cold-faced killers who were constantly approaching her, and somehow in her mind, a person's face appeared, if he was there, he would definitely save himself.
Thinking of that person, Du Yanwan's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness.
Are you going to die? But I'm so unwilling......
The killer's knife was raised high, and Du Yanwan couldn't help but close his eyes.
However, after waiting for a long time, the imaginary pain did not happen, and Du Yanwan only heard the sound of the sleeves rubbing around, and a few screams.
couldn't help but open his eyes, Du Yanwan found a man in a dark robe, fighting with those killers in a chic manner, the other party moved violently, even among so many killers, he did not fall behind at all.
As soon as she saw him, Du Yanwan's eyes couldn't be turned away.
"Lord Zhai!" Du Yanwan called out in surprise, she didn't expect to see Zhai Yeqi at this time. He just showed up just in time!
Afraid that she would distract Zhai Yeqian by talking, Du Yanwan kept her mouth closed and didn't speak, but her eyes kept glued to Zhai Yewan.
Zhai Yeqian heard Du Yanwan calling herself, took the time to look in the direction of Du Yanwan, and saw that someone was sneaking up behind her, so she threw the sword in her hand behind Du Yanwan without thinking about it.
Du Yan stood in place in a daze, only to hear a "poof" sound behind her, and the blood was stained on her body, she reacted in hindsight, and then there was a chill that reached the bottom of her heart.
Zhai Yeyan was distracted to help Du Yanwan, but the killer found a flaw, and he was quickly hit by a sword in the arm.
Hearing only the sound of "poof", blood gushed out from his wound, and the dark red blood disappeared soon after disappearing into his clothes. Zhai Yeqian glanced lightly at his injured position, a trace of chill flashed in his eyes, and he directly faced the opponent's sword with his bare hand.
Du Yanwan's face turned pale as he watched from the sidelines.
Zhai Yeqian took the white blade empty-handed, and his palm was soon stained red with blood, but he didn't even frown, as if he couldn't feel his pain, and roared, Zhai Yeqian kicked the killer away, turned around and grabbed Du Yanwan's waist, and the two fled quickly.
When the killers saw Zhai Yeqi and Du Yanwan fleeing, their expressions turned cold and chased in the direction of the two.
The killers just chased for a while and didn't continue to chase, and after Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqi got rid of the killers, they immediately went to find a doctor.
Zhai Yeqian only suffered a little skin trauma on his body, and the doctor cleaned up Zhai Yeqi's wounds, prescribed a few more medicines, and gave a few instructions, and then let Zhai Yeqian go back.
Du Yanwan kept looking at Zhai Yeqian with tears in her eyes, and insisted on following Zhai Yeqian back to Zhai's mansion, saying that she would take care of Zhai Yeqi.
Zhai Yewan really had no way to refuse Du Yanwan like this, so Du Yanwan lived in Zhai Mansion again, and what Du Yanwan did every day was to boil medicine for Zhai Yewan and then take care of Zhai Yewan.
Zhai Yewan's injury was in his hand, and it was inconvenient to do a lot of things, so Du Yanwan took the initiative to help.
Du Yanwan took the initiative to help Zhai Yewan wring the handkerchief and handed it to Zhai Yewan's hand, he reached out and took it and wiped his face, "Thank you." ”
"Do you have eyebrows for your assassin?" Zhai Yeqian took the initiative to ask about Du Yanwan.
Du Yanwan shook his head, "I didn't find any suspicious people, and there was no one else who could attack me except for the Eighth Prince and Shen Mei plus a Ten Prince, but the people who came to kill me before were not like the ones sent by them." ”
Zhai Yeyan pondered while listening to Du Yanwan's words.
"Since we can't find any suspicious people, I lead them to take the initiative." After groaning for a while, Zhai Yeqi said slowly.
Du Yanwan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "This is indeed a good way, worthy of Lord Zhai who judges the case like a god!" ”
"It's just that this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Du Yanwan nodded.
After the two discussed it, they came to the conclusion that Du Yanwan deliberately exposed her flaws, so that the people behind her could seize the opportunity to attack her.
The other party actually sent killers to kill her three or four times, and she will definitely continue to come. What Du Yanwan had to do at this moment was to lure them over and show their feet.
After Zhai Ye's injuries were better, he was busy investigating the murder of the Ninth Princess. In order to take care of Zhai Yeqi, Du Yanwan followed her wherever Zhai Yeqi went.
The first thing to check was the bedroom of the ninth princess, so Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian entered the palace again.
The ninth princess used to be the emperor's favorite princess, and her bedroom was the most luxurious among the imperial heirs.
Because he misses his deceased daughter, the emperor has always asked people to clean the bedroom of the ninth princess. So when Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqi entered, the dormitory still looked very clean, without a trace of dust.
Du Yanwan walked in first, and Zhai Yewan paused outside for a while before coming in.
Sensing Zhai Yewan's abnormality, and remembering the rumor that Zhai Yeqian and the Ninth Princess had a heart-to-heart connection, Du Yanwan pursed her lips lightly and said nothing.
Zhai Yeqian followed behind Du Yanwan and entered the ninth princess's bedroom, and the furnishings in the ninth princess's bedroom had not changed. Zhai Yeqian and Du Yanwan walked around the dormitory, but they didn't find anything abnormal.
"The matter of the ecstasy incense in the body of the Ninth Princess was said by Imperial Physician Wen, maybe Imperial Physician Wen knows something, should we go to Imperial Physician Wen's house to investigate?" Du Yanwan said to Zhai Yewan.
Zhai Yeqian nodded, "Imperial Physician Wen does have to investigate, but the most important thing is to start from the side of the Ninth Princess, and the maid of the Ninth Princess back then ......"
"Then let's ask."
"It can be a little difficult."
