Chapter 42: The Family Feast

Next.

Early in the morning, Wei Qing sent a dossier of all the clues and information collected before and after the assassination of Qingzhou to Prince Xi's mansion.

Yu Wenxuan deduced all the details he could remember, from being ambushed in that valley, to discovering that strange pattern, to meeting Yuwen Gong, Sima Rui and the others a few days ago.

Although Yu Wengong was suspicious, after all, no clear evidence was found, and Yu Wenxuan did not dare to report it easily, otherwise it would be easy to cause a riot. As for Qingzhou, they also wantonly exterminated the bandits, gave the Sulphur Kingdom an explanation, and appeased it.

"Whew......" Yu Wenxuan let out a sigh. When I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little sour.

When he was assassinated that day, the enemy did not leave a single living mouth, even if he was injured and could not move, he took the poison hidden in his mouth and committed suicide. Then, Yu Wenxuan ordered people to look for the news of the totem on the rivers and lakes. So far, it has sunk into the sea, and there is no gain.

Standing up, Yu Wenxuan picked up the tea on the table and walked to the door of the room to stand. Today's sky is not very good, it is gloomy, and it looks like it is going to rain. The tea was drunk in one go, leaving a cloud of green mist around the cup.

Yu Wenxuan pinched the delicate and small teacup with three fingers of his right hand and carried it behind his back. Is this rain falling? He pondered.

"Your Highness!" The housekeeper Lao Li trotted all the way over, and Yu Wenxuan handed him the teacup.

"Your Highness, someone has come to the palace."

"Oh."

As he was talking, he saw Wei Qing leading a eunuch over.

"Lord Wang, the slave has come to pass on the emperor's message." The eunuch smiled and said, he came to deliver the decree, so it was inconvenient to salute Yuwenxuan.

"There is Father-in-law." Yu Wenxuan bowed slightly, and then knelt on one knee.

"Spread the emperor's message: Summoning Prince Xi to the palace today for dinner together."

After receiving the decree and thanking him, he sent the little eunuch away, and Yu Wenxuan sat on the corridor leaning against the pillar and looked at the sky. There is no expression, no mental activity, just looking at the sky, as normal as if you want to eat when you are hungry and drink water when you are thirsty.

"Lord Wang." Wei Qing cautiously broke the silence, "The clues we have collected are obviously not enough, and as for your speculation, we also lack the necessary evidence now." ”

"I know." Yu Wenxuan glanced at Wei Qing, smiled at the corner of his mouth on one side, and continued to look at the sky.

"Lord Wang, do you have any way to do it?" Wei Qing really couldn't figure out why Yu Wenxuan suddenly didn't care at all, he was the most anxious in the past.

"Nope." Yu Wenxuan motioned for Wei Qing to sit beside him, "I've read those files, the other party in Qingzhou is too clean, and I can't find anything if I look into it, unless I can fish out that Jianghu organization, but it's not like there is no news for so long." ”

"But how should Your Majesty explain it?"

"It's okay, I'll say it myself."

The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the air is becoming humid, whenever this kind of weather, Yu Wenxuan inexplicably feels a little depressed, he doesn't like rainy days.

"Wei Qing, what time is it?"

"It's time to go back to the prince."

"It's ...... when you're just in the middle of nowhere"

Yue'er looked at the few hairpins placed in front of her, and there were still a few in her hand, and she looked in the mirror and tried them one by one. Which one is better to wear? She thought.

"Princess." Xiaolan couldn't help but speak, "You've been picking for a long time, haven't you chosen yet?" ”

"Today's dinner party is not sloppy, so naturally you have to choose the one that matches the clothes best."

"I don't think it's sloppy, but for those who please themselves." Xiaolan joked.

"Mouthy." Yue'er blushed slightly and said with a light smile, she didn't deny that Xiaolan was not an outsider, and besides, it was not a shame to be a person who pleases herself.

"This looks good." Xiaolan helped choose a hairpin, inserted it into Yue'er's bun, and made her own suggestions.

"Is it pretty?" Yue'er got up and took a turn, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

It's a joy to see him every day.

"It's good-looking, and the princess is good-looking." Xiaolan praised.

Since that day, Yu Wenxuan took Yue'er to Chang'an City to walk around, and Yue'er seemed to be a different person.

After Yue'er learned that she was going to take on the task of harmony and set off from the Sulphur Country, her smile was less, and more often it was a polite performance on the scene. Xiaolan has always looked at it, she feels sorry for her princess, but she can't change anything. It wasn't until she saw Yuwenxuan again at Yumen Pass that Xiaolan finally saw Yue'er's heartfelt smile again, but even so, Yue'er was still preoccupied and often alone in a daze.

But after going around the city that day, Yue'er seemed to have returned to her former appearance all of a sudden. Within the walls of this palace, steadiness is inevitable. But in private, Xiaolan felt that the princess was still the carefree princess.

It must be because of him that she can be the most authentic her.

Xiaolan is sincerely happy for Yue'er. It's helpless to be with your parents, but if you happen to be able to marry someone you've always wanted to marry, it's a blessing.

"Alright, princess." Xiaolan grabbed Yue'er, "We should go to the queen's mother, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"Okay." I don't know if Brother Xuan is here, Yue'er thought.
