Chapter 63: Search the Regent's Palace
"Lin Zi'an, show her." Gu Yichen commanded.
Lin Zi'an reluctantly walked over and checked her pulse, seeing that she had no external injuries, he was still wondering if Bai Xiyue's subordinates were merciful.
But as soon as he took the pulse, he realized his naivety.
"She's poisoned, pull the chance! This poison will not be fatal, but it will make the poisoned person suffer severe pain all over his body, like countless steel needles, pierced in his body, and Xi Yue seems to have given her some kind of medicine, magnifying her pain nerves, and she is now two or three times more painful than we feel. ”
"Then why didn't she call out, she was so strong." One of the guards said.
Lin Zi'an smiled and replied, "It's not that she's strong, but the princess you came to, maybe she thinks she's too noisy, and made her dumb beforehand." ”
"Can you cure this poison?" Gu Yichen looked at Lin Mianmian who was tossing and turning on the bed thoughtfully.
"No need to detoxify, it'll be fine in seven days." Lin Zi'an said casually.
"She can't die, this pain won't let her die of pain." He added.
So Gu Yichen asked people to look at Lin Mianmian and left, and all the secret guards who knew about today's events silently told themselves in their hearts that they must not offend the princess, otherwise she will make you die.
On the night of the second day, the second prince's grain transport team finally set off, a total of three convoys, set off at the same time. In terms of appearance and quantity, they are all exactly the same, there is no difference.
After the convoy left the city, the little tails that followed followed.
Lin Zi'an, Gu Yichen, and Shadow each led a team of people to catch up with the three convoys, and they tried to distinguish the real team from the appearance.
It's a pity that I didn't find the difference, so I can only try my luck.
Gu Yichen's team took the lead in attacking the convoy, and the two sides quickly scuffled together, and Dark Six found that the second prince was not here, and he told Gu Yichen the news, it is very likely that this team is fake.
Sure enough, not long after the battle began, a lot of people in black popped out of the place where the food was originally stored, and after knowing that it was fake, they did not fall in love with the battle and were ready to leave.
At this moment, a signal flare suddenly burst in the air, which was a message from another team, indicating that they had found the real food delivery team.
The people of the other two teams hurried over, and similarly, the people of the second prince also rushed to support.
On a hidden path, two waves of people fought, this team was led by the shadow, and the second prince was also hiding in this convoy.
The two groups of people will soon be together, and the second prince was originally very confident. He had prepared sufficient manpower, just to deal with Gu Yichen, he looked for the wheelchair-bound figure in the crowd, however, he didn't see anything.
He couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that Gu Yichen didn't come, didn't show up, or this batch of grain and grass was not so important to him.
In fact, Gu Yichen had already arrived, but in order not to expose the fact that he was already able to walk, he did not appear, but hid in the dark with a bow and arrow.
In just a stick of incense, the second prince, who was originally confident, became nervous, and now they are obviously in a weak position, if this continues, the food will not be saved, is it really as Wang Zixuan said, the heavenly machine is unchangeable.
In the end, the grain was snatched away, and the second prince quickly returned to the city, entered the palace and told the emperor, which was also a plan he had thought of from the beginning, if he couldn't keep the grain and grass, let Gu Yichen snatch it, then tell the emperor as soon as possible, at this time, if he went to search the regent's mansion and the regent was not there, then he would be suspicious, or, if the grain was searched, then the emperor would have a reason to punish him.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard that the grain and grass had been robbed, the first thing he thought of was Gu Yichen, and he immediately sent the Praetorian Guards to follow the second prince to search the regent's mansion, and if he found a problem, he could arrest the regent.
In the silence of the night, the people of the city were already asleep, and a group of men surrounded the regent's palace with weapons.
The guards immediately told Bai Xiyue.
Because he knew that Gu Yichen was not in the mansion, he could only find the princess.
Bai Xiyue has not slept because of the white frost recently, and when she heard that the second prince brought someone to search the regent palace, she immediately went to the door, and when she arrived at the place, it was indeed a large group of people who surrounded the entire palace.
"Second prince, what do you mean by this." Bai Xiyue asked sharply, "I don't know what mistake my regent palace has made, so that the emperor can send so many people over so much, and those who don't know still think that you are going to raid the house." ”
"Princess Regent, the second prince is just following the emperor's orders, and we are not here to search for no reason, but, just now, a group of people robbed the grain and grass transported by the second prince, this batch of grain and grass is to be sent to the front line, it is very important, and please princess, make it convenient for us to search." After Yusheng finished speaking, he saluted respectfully.
The words are extremely satisfying, and the things are also polite and thoughtful, and people can't find anything wrong for a while.
However, Gu Yichen was not there, Bai Xiyue resolutely couldn't let them in, if she really found something, then could she still run, no, no.
"There must be evidence when you speak, if you lose the grain and grass you transported, come to the Regent's Mansion to find it, is it tomorrow, the bowl for eating is lost, and you have to come here to get it." Bai Xi meniscus raised her face, she had been a killer before, and she was contaminated with a lot of blood, so she could really scare people when she collapsed her face like this.
Yusheng wanted to say something more, but the second prince motioned for him to stop.
Then the second prince said: "Princess Regent, if you want evidence, you can, then ask the Prince Regent to come out first and tell him in person." ”
After he finished speaking, Bai Xiyue cursed in her heart, which pot is not opened, if the regent is in the palace, then where will it be her turn to come out, but her face is not obvious, and she still said very calmly: "The prince is asleep, he has been a little tired recently, I don't want to disturb his sweet dreams, if you have anything to say, tell me the same." ”
"You, toast and don't eat and drink, and then push back like this and obstruct the search, then don't blame us for being polite." Yusheng ran out of patience and began to speak in a threatening tone.
"Who is it, I want to be polite to the princess of this king."
At this time, Dark Six pushed Gu Yichen and walked slowly, only to see him wearing clothes casually, and he looked like he had just gotten up.
The wheelchair stopped next to Bai Xiyue, he stretched out his hand and held Bai Xiyue's hand, now that the weather is cold, her hand is getting warmer and warmer, he doesn't want to let go as soon as he holds it, he said in a gentle tone: "Yue'er, why don't you wake me up." ”
Bai Xiyue felt goosebumps all over her body after hearing this, and couldn't help but tremble, and then immediately cooperated with his performance, "Lord Wang, I see that you have always slept hard recently, and today you finally slept a little deeper, and some people began to make trouble, I thought I could solve it, but I didn't expect that it was still a big power, and only words had weight." ”
After listening to this, Yusheng's face turned red with anger, and the two of them began to belittle the emperor and the second prince as soon as they sang and harmonized.
However, the more annoying words were still to come, Gu Yichen swept around with his gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Some people are not sensible, it is normal, it is natural to teach a lesson, these things are just handled by the king, and the princess only needs to watch from the sidelines." ”
"Regent, this prince also obeys the emperor's orders, if you have to do this, then I can only be sorry." In the words of the second prince. The threat is full of meaning.
With a whoosh, a hidden weapon slashed through the ends of the second prince's hair and cut off two hairs.
"Second prince, have you forgotten your identity and called the prince in front of this king, this is a respectful and humble behavior, should you also be punished."
Gu Yichen casually turned the wrench in his hand, looked at the angry Gu Jiuxiao in front of him, and was unmoved.
"Emperor, uncle, is it possible to search now, are you delaying time like this, are you transferring grain and grass?" The second prince gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, and his words were full of hatred for Gu Yichen.
"This king will not allow you to search, and when you have evidence, you will come back to the search." Gu Yichen said at the end, and his tone became cold.
Is the emperor's cheek a little too thick, he just took back what belongs to him, and he is reluctant to do so.
In the end, the second prince still obediently retreated, he did not have the ability to compete with the regent, even if there was an emperor's dictation, but there was no evidence, after all, it was not right, and his words were not good.
After the matter was resolved, Bai Xiyue let go of Gu Yichen's hand and prepared to leave by herself.
"Stop!"
She stopped, turned around and asked, "Lord Wang, do you have anything else?" ”
"This king has something to say to you." As he spoke, he walked in the other direction, Bai Xiyue resigned himself to his fate, there was no way, whoever had already signed the contract could only be obedient.
When they arrived at Linfeng Pavilion, Gu Yichen let Dark Six out, and there were only two of them in the house.
"Lord Wang, what do you have to say to me. I'm listening. Bai Xiyue sat in and said seriously, looking ready to listen to him.
"You're not curious about today."
Gu Yichen was referring to the matter that the second prince came to search today.
"I'm not curious, if the prince wants to tell me, he will naturally tell me, if he doesn't want to tell me, why do I ask so much. You tell me. ”
Bai Xiyue threw the words back again.
"Today, we did go to loot the grain and grass, and I have sent someone to send it to the frontier and store it, so today, even if the second prince comes in to search, he will not be able to find this batch of grain."
Gu Yichen explained one by one.
Now Bai Xiyue was puzzled. "Then why don't you let him search it, he is so confident, if he can't find anything, didn't he slap the emperor in the face, and now they are probably more suspicious of you."
He looked up at Bai Xiyue and saw that she looked a little sleepy, as if she hadn't rested well, he pondered for a while and said, "Because the mother and son are here, they can't be discovered by the emperor." ”
Gu Yichen didn't explain it very clearly, but she still heard something from this short sentence, and when she got such an answer, she didn't ask any more.
"It's okay, you go back, today, you're doing well." Gu Yichen didn't say anything more, and let her leave.
