Chapter 136: Search
"The slave and Rui'er are old acquaintances, she once proposed to marry the slave, but at that time, the slave had just received His Majesty's secret order to serve by the female Shangshu, and felt that she had a heavy burden and did not dare to marry at will, so she refused her."
When Wang Fu talked about this, he couldn't figure out what it was like in his heart, "Later, the slave and the red sleeves served in the Zhuqing Pavilion, because they were both old people in the palace, and they had similar personalities to each other, so they got along closer than others. The minion thought that Rui'er had something to do with such a heinous mistake. β
"Can you ask her what she did and who instructed her?"
"No, Rui'er, she won't say anything." Ah Fu said in frustration.
"It's okay, you've done a good job." Yun Qing was relieved: "Although your inference cannot be used as evidence, Manager Wang and I can investigate the incident and the mastermind behind the scenes based on your speculation, which is all due to you." β
"Master, don't comfort the minions." Ah Fu looked at the ground dejectedly, "If the slave is more powerful, maybe he can ask the mastermind behind the scenes from Rui'er, and then find Hui Ran's whereabouts, but now the slave has not done anything, so he can only do it here in a hurry." β
"Nu Shangshu, His Royal Highness King Ning has come down." The guards outside the door reported.
The guards around Yunqing were all arranged by Fu Mingli personally, Mingda came to ask to see, if there was no permission from Fu Mingli, the guards would not come to her to pass the word.
Yun Qing secretly thought that His Majesty the Emperor had really changed his personality in the past few days, and he had changed his previous arbitrary style of acting and began to learn to give people freedom.
"Come in, please." Wang Jin commanded with great eyes.
The guards got the order, and it didn't take long for Mingda to appear in the main hall of the Zhuqing Pavilion with the escort Ah Si.
"His Royal Highness King Ning." Yun Qing got up, bowed slightly at Mingda, and then took two steps forward and asked, "Your Highness came here at this time, but there is news from Hui Ran?" β
"Not yet." Mingda shook his head, raised his hand and motioned for Yun Qing to sit down, and then slowly spoke: "Hui Ran disappeared after leaving the mansion, the scope of the investigation is a bit wide, and she has always had few grudges with people, so when it comes to investigating this matter, there is almost no clue at all." β
"Red sleeves and Hui Ran have had accidents one after another, and eighty percent of the people behind them are coming for me, Your Highness should come to check on me instead of going to check Hui Ran's enemy."
Mingda raised his eyes, his nose twitched slightly, "Don't think like that, you and I should understand that this matter is not your problem." β
Yun Qing shook his head, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, flattened it and put it in front of Mingda: "I think about it, there are very few people I have offended inside and outside the palace these days, except for the county lord of Lingyao, the former virtuous concubine Defei, plus the former concubine Shufei who has been raided, all have more or less reasons to be unfavorable to me." But Concubine Xian and Concubine De are not extremely vicious people, and I am not very suspicious of them. Although the former Shufei was wiped out by the Manchus, but Shen Taifu's protΓ©gΓ© was widely distributed, there should be a few people who are grateful for the teacher's kindness, if you know that many things were planned by me before, it is not impossible to be hostile to me. β
Mingda carefully read the names on the paper, turned his head and said to her: "Even if Mrs. Shen's former protΓ©gΓ© knows about this matter, it should be the first to bear the brunt of it, and there is no need to embarrass the two maids." β
"Hmm." Yun Qing agreed: "I think the same way, this kind of thing is not done by those who read books to catch two maid rings to vent their anger." Hui Ran has two weak women with red sleeves, and there is no need for them to attack them. β
After Yun Qing's words were finished, the main hall suddenly fell silent.
Yun Qing didn't know many people in the capital, and if he excluded these few, the only one left was the county lord of Lingyao.
In fact, from the beginning, Yun Qing was the only one who doubted Ling Yao. The county lord of Lingyao loves Mingda, a woman will do anything for the man she loves, no one will doubt the sincerity of the county lord of Lingyao to His Royal Highness King Ning, and just as Yunqing never doubted that the county lord of Lingyao would want to put her to death for the sake of Mingda, and even crush her bones to ashes.
But even if she guessed, she couldn't easily announce her guess, Ling Yao had a strong force from Prince Min's lineage behind her, if there was no evidence, she didn't have ironclad evidence that Rui'er was bought by Ling Yao, even if she guessed, she couldn't do anything with the other party, but it would anger the other party and jump over the wall, endangering Hui Ran's safety.
Yun Lan listened from the sidelines and roughly understood the meaning of this conversation, and her little hand clenched Yun Qing's cuffs without saying a word.
"I'm sorry." Mingda suddenly got up and bowed to Yun Qing: "In this matter, I have caused you a burden." β
"His Royal Highness King Ning doesn't need to be like this." Although Ling Yao's hostility towards her arose because of Mingda, in the final analysis, it was because of Ling Yao's misconduct, and Yun Qing would not anger others because of this.
"I will try my best to find out the truth about this matter and give the red sleeves justice." Yun Qing glanced at Yun Lan with reassuring eyes, turned his head and continued: "As for Hui Ran's whereabouts, I'm afraid it depends on His Highness. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you think that if you had captured Hui Ran, where would you hide her? Mingda straightened up, with one hand behind his back, and asked in a deep voice.
"The county lord of Lingyao disturbed the holy car a few days ago, and was driven back to the nunnery by Prince Min, there is a prince pressing on it, the county lord of Lingyao should not dare to leave casually, if she wants to hide people, it is probably in the deep mountains and old forests......" Yun Qing suddenly felt wrong in the middle of speaking, "If she wants to kill Hui Ran, she can do it after arresting her." If she spares Hui Ran's life, she will definitely find a place that is easy to take care of and close to Baici Nunnery, and torture Hui Ran with all kinds of punishments, so as to vent the resentment in her heart. β
Yun Qing and Mingda looked at each other, and their eyes lit up at the same time: "The more dangerous the place, the safer." β
The eyes of the two people intersected, and even the voices overlapped, and they smiled at the same time after the words fell.
When Fu Mingli walked into the main hall slowly, what he saw was this picture of handsome men and beautiful women looking at each other in tacit understanding.
His footsteps paused, walked between the two casually, smiled and said, "What are Sister Yun and the eldest brother talking about?" β
Mingda was so involved before that he didn't even notice Fu Mingli's footsteps, and bowed down after seeing someone: "I've seen Your Majesty." β
"We're talking about the progress of the case." Yun Qing only briefly summarized one sentence and immediately said to Mingda: "Your Highness, take someone to Baici Nunnery, maybe it's still too late." β
Mingda nodded, said goodbye to Fu Mingli, and led people out of Zhuqing Pavilion.
Yun Qing took Yun Lan's hand and sat down, the little girl was still wilting, she was pulled back and forth by her and didn't speak, Yun Qing wanted to ask her, but it was difficult for Fu Mingli to speak, so she had to turn her head to look at Fu Mingli with her thoughts: "Why did Your Majesty come over?" β
"The Great Emperor Brother can come, why can't I come?"
