Chapter 117: Substitution for Death
Liu Yan returned to the East Palace in a hurry, and Lu Zhi saw him like this, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, what is wrong?" ”
"Go and get me all the erections. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Yan said in an anxious tone.
Lu Zhi saw Chen Que coming in closely, and there were many soldiers behind him, and he was even more puzzled: "What's wrong with Quan Zhu?" He just took a leave of absence from me and went to the east of the city. ”
"What is he doing in the east of the city?" This was not asked by Liu Yan, but by Chen Que, Lu Zhi swallowed his saliva uneasily, and said in his throat, "I said that I had a bone headache in the past few days, and I went to see a doctor he trusted." ”
Chen Que immediately turned around and commanded: "A few of you go to the east of the city to find someone, this person is extremely cunning, maybe he wants to flee when he hears the news, a few of you go to the city gates to guard, and a few of you go to the market to find it, and if you stay, go to search his room." ”
A bunch of soldiers in front of him turned around and disappeared all at once, Lu Zhi was completely stunned, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, what's the matter, what did Quan Zhi do, he is very loyal to His Highness, he is never sloppy in his work, although he is a little clever, but he is loyal and will not do anything unfavorable to His Highness." ”
Liu Yan glared at him, and said angrily: "It was he who used Xu Zhicai to make medicine for him in the name of my East Palace Prince, killed people and planted false accusations, and framed Shen Xia." ”
Seeing Liu Yan turn around angrily, Lu Zhi hurriedly followed: "Impossible, Quan Zhi is a person who believes in Buddhism, and he never kills, let alone kills, I think this matter must be mistaken." ”
The soldiers who rushed to the whole vertical room rushed out after a while, and ran to Chen Que with a teapot very happily.
The soldier opened the lid of the pot and explained, "Your Highness, your Excellency, please see, there is not much water left in this teapot, and the whole person poured the medicinal powder into the teapot in one go. So the powder is clumped. ”
Lu Zhi scratched his head tangledly, and still didn't understand, why would Quan Zhi do such a thing?
Quan Zhu was finally caught by soldiers at the city gate, and was carried back when he was brought back to the Sixing Temple. Just because he wanted to run away at that time, he was beaten severely.
When Liu Yan heard that Quan Jian had been arrested, he rushed to the Si Xing Temple in person, and Chen Que personally told him that Quan Jian confessed to his actions.
Cause. Or for the sake of the Xuan'e girl, he was lucky enough to see Xuan'e, and since then he has fallen into the quagmire, unable to extricate himself, and finally one day, after being rejected fiercely, he planted the seeds of revenge. On that day, I happened to bump into Chu Shenxia, who was sneaking outside the door, and planted him with the situation.
When things got here, Liu Yan no longer cared. Without waiting for Chu Shenxia to be released, he hurried back to the East Palace, and then hurriedly entered the palace and wrote to the emperor to return to the Lu Kingdom.
This process didn't stop in one breath, and when Chu Shenxia returned to the East Palace, Liu Yan had already prepared the carriage and was just waiting for him to come.
Chu Shenxia looked at the team at the gate of the East Palace in surprise, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, no matter how anxious you are, you won't be in a hurry to become like this?" Are you really not going to let me go into the palace to get something? ”
"I'll take all your stuff for you. Look at it, what has happened? Liu Yan handed over the burden in the carriage, but Chu Shenxia didn't take it, but climbed into the carriage.
Liu Yan smiled and put the burden away. He naturally knew that what Chu Shenxia said just now was just a casual remark, and all his luggage was just a few books, what would be left behind?
"No wonder His Highness asked me to bathe and change clothes in the Sixing Temple, it turned out that I was ready to prepare everything and leave Jiankang in time." Chu Shenxia opened his baggage and read the books over and over again.
Liu Yan leaned back. Sighed softly, "Huh...... It's over, you don't have to read it, this book is all the same, it's all there. ”
"Your Highness thinks it's all over?" Chu Shenxia put the book back into his baggage and asked casually.
"What do you mean? I know, you want to say that I don't want to make progress, I only know how to avoid Yunyun, I'm tired of hearing these words, I just want to go back to Huangling as soon as possible, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. Liu Yan closed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth kept rising, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Chu Shenxia's words gave him a slap in the face, "Then what if I say that Quan Zhu is just a scapegoat and a substitute for the dead ghost?" ”
Liu Yan opened his eyes suddenly, his body was tense, and the two eyebrows that were still stretched out just now were tightly twisted together at the moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the murderer?" ”
Chu Shenxia shook his head and only said two words, "I don't know." ”
In fact, he has an answer in his heart, but he is not sure, Jing Huan, who ran out to save him that night, is very likely to be the murderer of Xuan'e, and it is also very likely that he used Quanshun to lure himself into a trap.
It's just that he can't understand that such a technique has always come from Liu Yu, why did King Qing also learn such a method?
"Shen Xia, you know that I have a heart for you, why do you hide everything from me?" Liu Yan's face sank, met his clear gaze, and asked, "Why did you go to the wine shop at that time?" What are you looking for? ”
"I ...... at that time," Chu Shenxia muttered for a moment, then changed his words and asked rhetorically, "Didn't Your Highness feel that as soon as we arrived in Jiankang, our actions would become uncontrollable?" I always felt that there was an invisible hand behind my back, and we were going at the pace he had envisioned, and I was afraid that in the end, even if I woke up, it would be too late to turn the tide. ”
Liu Yan was reminded by him, and found that it was indeed as he said, and he lowered his eyes and pondered: "Jiankang is mixed, all the people are crowded in this small city, stirring up the world, even a small person has a pivotal role, there are only some poor scheming and superficial compliments left between everyone, a lot of plots, and it is impossible to prevent it, which is why I am eager to leave Jiankang." ”
Chu Shenxia listened carefully and did not interject, Liu Yan straightened up and continued: "But Lu Country is different, if Jiankang is a deep sea, Lu Country is like a flat land, everything can be seen and touched, that kind of peace and health, free and chic, is something I can never experience on the battlefield." I will definitely defend the country of Lu and return the country of Lu to a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
"His Royal Highness has said so much, in the end, he still wants to escape, Lu Guo is His Highness's current retreat, but what if there is no Lu State? What is Your Highness going to do? Faced with deceit all day long, can even the identity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be given up without hesitation? ”
Liu Yan's mouth opened and opened, his words seemed to be stuck in a roar, he couldn't say anything, his eyes drooped unconsciously, but he suddenly raised again, and complained: "Chu Shenxia, you always change the topic, what we said just now is obviously your business, why did it turn to me again?" Don't you want to fool around, I can guess if you don't say it, the person you want to cover up is Jing Yan, right? ”
"At that time, I was affected by numbness and couldn't move in the screen, but Jing Yan suddenly appeared at this time and rescued me." Chu Shenxia recalled.
Liu Yan interrupted him, "So you're going to hide it for him?" lest I doubt him? ”
"No, all the while, I felt that his presence was not a coincidence, but deliberate, I just don't understand, what is his purpose in doing this? If it's just to frame me for design, why bother going around in such a big circle, knowing that I will definitely find a way to prove my innocence, isn't it a waste of effort? Chu Shenxia shook his head slightly, with many doubts in his eyes.
Facing Liu Yan's equally puzzled gaze, Chu Shenxia continued: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, on the day of Concubine Xian's birthday, I met Wei Shuming in the forest, I don't think it's a coincidence, but in just one day, the news leaked, and it is a fact that His Highness has a traitor around him." I followed the vine to the wine shop, and then successfully fell into the trap they set for me, and soon after, the position of the military department Shangshu changed to Wei Shuming's. This series of events is so logical, and the person who controls all this behind the scenes, I believe, is by no means King Qing. ”
"Are you suspicious of the Great Emperor? This...... Is it possible? Even if the eldest brother has the ability, and others are not in the court, just watching the fire from the other side can stir up the unpredictability of the court? Liu Yan obviously couldn't accept his conjecture.
"yes...... I can't believe it either......" Chu Shenxia sighed leisurely, looked outside the carriage and said in a deep voice: "A prince, why should all the ministers obey him?" ”
Chu Shenxia suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Yan, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, but he felt that something was wrong, and finally slowly closed his mouth.
It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.
The coachman hurriedly reined in the horse, and the carriage stopped after a sharp bump, almost knocking the two people out of the car, Liu Yan was dissatisfied: "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, there is a boulder blocking the way in front of you, and everyone has already moved it."
Liu Yan thought of the events of the day, and couldn't help laughing: "I got your note at that time, and rushed straight to the Tai Hospital, who would have thought, a girl dressed as a teenager rode a horse head-on, and saw that my carriage was blocking her way, and she didn't want me to give way to her, and then got angry and threw off the horsewhip and left, but guess what?" ”
"How?"
"Wei Shuming suddenly caught up with my carriage and personally asked me for the horse whip, I thought it was strange at the time, how could he be particularly concerned about such a horse whip, but after reading it carefully, it was just a horse whip of some years, and the special wood of the whip head was carved with a Jin Mei, it seems that he is still a nostalgic person? That really doesn't make sense, since it's a nostalgic person, how could he do such a thing in the first place? Liu Yannu pouted and shook his head, feeling incomprehensible about his character.
Chu Shenxia's fingers tapped his knees one after the other, and it wasn't until he heard him say the word Jin Mei that his spirit was shocked, and the doubts in his heart seemed to be slowly relaxed.
