For the next period of time, nothing special happened in Wangcheng.

More than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

That afternoon, Yang Wenjin sat alone in Qingyuan and practiced controlling his soul power.

Now that she is more and more proficient in controlling the power of her soul.

Even the power of her spatial means has been greatly improved.

"Princess, someone sent an invitation."

Qiu Yue walked into the pavilion with a gilded invitation and respectfully handed it to Yang Wenjin.

"Invitation? What invitations? ”

She withdrew her soul power and turned her head to look at Qiu Yue in surprise.

"It was said that it was sent by Second Master Yan's mansion, and you and the prince were invited to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow."

"Another birthday party?"

She had a headache, and since she married into the palace, she has contacted and attended several birthday banquets.

However, every birthday banquet ends without a problem, and there will always be such and such bad things, which makes her a little worried about whether there will be something messy when she hears about the birthday banquet now.

"Wait, who did you just say sent it from?"

"Second Master Yan's mansion."

Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows, reached out to take the invitation, and unfolded it to take a look.

The inscription on it reads the three words Yan Wenfu.

Yan Wenfu is the second master of the Yan family and the younger brother of Yan Wenhong.

"It's a bit strange, why did he send the invitation to our house?"

You must know that since the Yan family was dealt with last time, the Yan family has never had any movement with the Yin Wangfu and Concubine Yi.

She didn't pay much attention to the Yan family, anyway, as long as the other party didn't come to find trouble, she wouldn't go to find trouble.

"I don't know, but the slave maid recently heard that Second Master Yan seems to be quite active, and I think he has the intention to continue to develop his career."

Yang Wenjin nodded slowly, and felt that Qiu Yue's analysis was very reasonable.

Last time, the Yan family was treated the worst by Yan Wenhong, who was directly pushed to the end.

Yan Wenfu was not dealt with, but the Yan family plummeted because of this, and he naturally did not have any good development in the officialdom.

Now Xia Xuanlin has not shown up for many days, and all the affairs are handled by the prince.

I think there are many people who see the future situation.

The new king is about to ascend the throne, and it is the time when he needs the minister of the humerus, and King Yin has been walking around with the prince from time to time recently, Yan Wenfu sent an invitation at this time.

You don't have to think about it to know what kind of purpose it is.

Closing the invitation and letting the stone table lay down, she didn't speak again, continuing to study her soul power.

For this invitation, she did not plan to go.

Although the misunderstanding with the Yan family at the beginning, most of them were the big Yan Wenhong family, but she still didn't treat the Yan family very much.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Yue also understood what she meant, and turned around and exited the pavilion.

After a while, someone came outside again.

This time it's someone from the palace.

"Qinglan, why are you here? Is there something the mother commands? ”

Seeing Qinglan, Yang Wenjin's first thought was Yan Wenfu's birthday banquet.

Qinglan walked into the pavilion and noticed the invitation on the stone table as soon as she walked in, and respectfully bowed.

"Niangniang knows that Second Master Yan has sent an invitation to the princess, and specially asked the slave maid to leave the palace to bring you a message."

"What?"

Yang Wenjin asked with a light smile.

"Niangniang said that she will also go to Second Master Yan's mansion tomorrow."

"Oh?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood what Concubine Yi meant, and nodded with a smile.

"I was also thinking about this just now, since the concubine is also going, then I will naturally go over tomorrow, but the prince went out this morning, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to come back."

In the past half a month, nothing special has happened in Wangcheng, but a special thing has happened not far from Wangcheng.

She didn't know exactly what it was, but she knew that Xia Linyuan seemed to be quite nervous, and immediately set off after receiving the news.

"The slave will bring the princess's words."

Qinglan didn't stay long, turned around and left Qingyuan.

"Qiuyue, you go to the treasury and choose some things for me as a birthday gift."

Qiu Yue left in response.

Yang Wenjin didn't continue to cultivate, but stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion and picked up the porcelain cup containing fish feed on the side.

After putting it into the water, it immediately attracted a lot of fish to grab food.

Since Concubine Yi specially sent someone to spread the word, the meaning is already obvious, whether she has no intention of giving up the Yan family, or wants to properly pull the Yan family.

......

Five hundred miles away from the royal city, in a military camp.

Xia Linyuan stood expressionlessly outside the barracks' main account.

Last night, a strange event happened in this barracks.

The 30,000 Great Xia soldiers died silently, and none of them were spared.

So many people died at once, and they were still sergeants, as soon as the prince received the news, he asked Xia Linyuan to come and investigate in person.

At this time, he had already walked around the barracks.

There was not a single trace of resistance to the fighting.

What's even more weird is that these 30,000 people almost all have the same expression.

Laughing, that's right, laughing, these 30,000 people died with a smile.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have checked all around the barracks, and they haven't found any special traces."

A palace guard quickly ran over from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, four or five palace guards came one after another.

From water sources to military rations, they had carefully examined everything that could cause collective death, and there was nothing abnormal about it.

Hearing their report, Xia Linyuan frowned again.

Collective poisoning, which he had checked earlier when he was wandering around the barracks.

Almost all of them showed no signs of poisoning.

However, the poisons used by many immortal cultivators are very special and are not easy to detect.

So he asked people to look around to see if there was anything special.

After all, so many people died at once, and all of them were so weird, he really couldn't think of any other way to do it except for being poisoned.

However, now that his subordinates said that there was not the slightest sign of poisoning, he was a little puzzled.

"It's not poisoning, so what is the way to make so many people die en masse at once? And there is not the slightest ability to resist. ”

He couldn't figure it out.

At that moment, another guard ran in the distance.

"Lord Wang, there is a discovery over there, you can come and take a look."

As soon as he heard about it, Xia Linyuan stepped on the ground, and his body turned into an afterimage and flew over.

"What did you find?"

"My subordinates found some bodies in the col over there."

"And corpses? What is the corpse of a person? ”

Xia Linyuan frowned and asked.

"It's not human, it's all animal carcasses."

"Animals?"

Xia Linyuan frowned.

"Lead the way."

The group rushed towards the col where the anomaly had emerged.

As soon as they arrived at the mountain pass, several people smelled a faint fragrance, which was very good.

"This smell is weird, so be careful."

As he spoke, he took the lead in covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and then walked towards the col.
