Chapter 132: This Fact Is Too Coincidental
Lu Yan followed Ji Yang into the inner hall, and the situation in the inner hall was not much better than that in the outer hall.
The prince was sitting on the Luohan bed with an angry face, and King Yan on the side was holding his arm tightly, for fear that he would let people run away if he didn't pay attention.
When the prince saw Lu Yan coming in, he stood up violently, and with great strength, he took King Yan on the side with him.
King Yan staggered a few steps, then stood firm, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, you calm down." ”
Lu Yan glanced at King Yan.
The Yan King in front of him was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, his eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, and he was standing next to the prince, who was already an adult man, like a kitten that did not dazzle.
But who would have thought that in the previous life, it was this kitten-like prince who won the final victory.
Lu Yan sighed in his heart, withdrew his eyes, and respectfully saluted the two princes.
"Weichen has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he has seen His Royal Highness King Yan."
The prince raised his hand slightly, and the anger on his body eased slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Lu Qing is here." As he spoke, he looked around the inner hall again, and smiled bitterly, "Look at what has become of Lone here, it's a joke for Lu Qing." ”
Lu Yan bent down to the crown prince again, and persuaded in a low voice: "Why is Your Highness so angry, can you tell Weichen, and Weichen can share a worry or two for His Highness." ”
After listening to Lu Yan's words, the prince's anger that had only subsided rose again.
He grabbed Lu Yan's sleeve, stared at Lu Yan with red eyes, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Lu Qing knows who instructed the guard." ”
Lu Yan looked at the prince's eyes, which were a little moist because of anger, lowered his eyelids slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, although Weichen heard some things from Gonggong Liu on the road, the specific things are not very clear. ”
King Yan also came over at this time, stood beside the prince and persuaded in a low voice: "Second brother, calm down first, my brother also told you that it is just some things to catch the wind and catch shadows, if you rush to Chengqian Palace like this, then the younger brother can only apologize to his father with death." ”
When the prince heard this, the anger on his face receded slightly, he took two steps back, but he tripped over a piece of broken porcelain, and before he could speak, Lu Yan had already shouted at the outside of the hall in a low voice: "What are you doing there, why don't you come in and clean up the hall quickly!" ”
A group of palace maids hurriedly agreed, bowed down and entered, and lightly cleaned up the mess in the hall, and then retreated silently.
Everyone sat down, Lu Yan looked straight at the prince, but the prince hung his head and was silent, and King Yan on the side sighed lightly and said: "Actually, I am also to blame for this, but I ran to the second brother after listening to two gossips." ”
He said, his face full of chagrin: "I originally thought that no matter whether this matter is true or not, I must always talk to the second brother, and then find a way to find real evidence." But I never thought ......"
King Yan didn't finish his words, he turned his head to look at the prince, the meaning was very obvious, he didn't expect the prince to be so excited.
Ji Yang sighed helplessly when he heard this, arched his hand at King Yan, and said: "Wechen thank King Yan for His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen knows that His Royal Highness is also kind." ”
When King Yan heard this, he waved his hand again and again, and his face was even more frightened: "Ji Hanlin, don't say that, the second brother has always been very good to me, and the queen mother treats me very kindly, if the second brother is affected by my troubles, then I will really be ashamed of the queen mother." ”
Ji Yang exchanged a few more polite words with King Yan, but during this time, Lu Yan didn't speak, only looked at a few people quietly.
Ji Yang noticed his silence, so he turned his head to look at him and asked in a low voice, "Why has Yizhi been silent, but what do you think?" ”
Lu Yan shook his head, looked at King Yan, and asked softly: "Lu still doesn't know what His Highness heard, would His Highness be willing to talk to Weichen in detail?" ”
King Yan knew that Lu Yan could be regarded as the prince's cronies, so he didn't have anything to hide at the moment, and slowly told what he heard in detail.
Since the death of Queen Ji, King Yan knew that the prince was quietly finding out the cause of the queen's death, so he also secretly sent people to secretly inquire about the matter.
Knowing that the clue was broken by a janitarian guard, King Yan was also anxious for several days.
It was also a coincidence, he handed over a sign to the palace to visit his biological mother Concubine Lin Xian on this day, but he listened to two palace maids chewing the root of his tongue at Concubine Lin Xian.
"Although the voices of the two little palace maids were not loud, my mother and I heard them clearly, saying that a little palace maid in Concubine Shu's palace jumped into the well because she was pregnant and afraid of being discovered."
"I didn't think much about it, the mother concubine was about to scold the two little palace maids, but I heard them say that the good looks of the dead little palace maids were burned to death due to a fire a few days ago."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and naturally thought of the janissary who died in the fire a few days ago.
King Yan saw everyone's expressions and knew that they were thinking of one thing with himself, he nodded slowly, and continued: "The mother concubine didn't think much about it, and wanted to punish the two little palace maids, so I stopped the mother concubine and asked someone to tie up the two palace maids, and inquire carefully. ”
"Although the two palace maids are frightened, they know a lot of things." King Yan sighed and shook his head, "They said that although not many people know about the affairs of the palace maid and the guards in the Chengqian Palace, they have been bumped into by the two of them. I asked the man again about his form and posture, and where he was on an errand. After this questioning, I found out that it was really the guard who was good with the stone female official. ”
When the prince heard this, he was obviously angry again, and Ji Yang hurriedly interrupted King Yan's words and said, "This matter is just a few gossip between the palace maids, and I can't tell if it's true or not, so let's wait for us to verify it before making plans." ”
Ji Yang said, then turned his head to look at Lu Yan tentatively, but saw that Lu Yan was just frowning and silent.
Because of the experience of his previous life, Lu Yan was very distrustful of the Yan King in front of him, and now although he is young, he was only a weak champion when he succeeded.
Lu Yan was silent for a long time, raised his head to look at the crown prince, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, Weichen's opinion is the same as Ji Hanlin's, the timing of this matter is too coincidental, we have to think about it more." ”
The prince's most trusted people now are Ji Yang and Lu Yan, and when he heard both of them say this, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, gritted his teeth and said in a vicious voice: "Okay, Lone will listen to the two Qing families, and when this matter is revealed, Lone will definitely cut the mastermind with a thousand knives!" ”
