Chapter 249: Fireflies
Yuwen Jinghuai pulled Chu Yue'an all the way to the imperial garden, and at this moment, the original guests had basically left, and only a few palace people were still cleaning.
He pulled Chu Yue'an and walked a few more steps, came to a field of flowers, and then clapped his hands.
I saw countless fireflies slowly flying out, like stars in the sky.
Chu Yue'an's eyes widened in surprise, she involuntarily stretched out her hand to touch the fireflies around her, and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai was beside Chu Yue'an, hooked his lips and smiled: "The surprise that this king gave you, do you still like it?" ”
Chu Yue'an looked at the fireflies around him, and his heart was naturally moved, he must have put a lot of thought into this scene, and nodded lightly: "I like it." ”
"It's good to like it, I can make you smile, and it won't be in vain for this king's thoughts." Yuwen Jinghuai stretched out his hand and grabbed it, then opened his palm in front of Chu Yue'an, and a firefly flew out and stopped on her nose.
"Thank you for everything you have prepared for me." Chu Yuean lowered his eyes and said.
"Chu Yue'an." Yuwen Jinghuai looked at her squarely, "One day, you will really understand the king's intentions." ”
There are countless fireflies around, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, Chu Yue'an is still the first person to experience such a romantic moment, and it is also the first person to spend so much thought for her, she is more than moved in her heart, but it is only so, no matter what King Chu does, she will not be able to respond and reciprocate.
"Your Highness will not be like this in the future." Chu Yue'an said, "I really can't respond to your feelings. ”
"You're a disappointment." Yuwen Jinghuai snorted, "I like you as this king's own business, you can't take care of it." It's not too early, you should go back. ”
"Farewell."
Chu Yue'an left slowly, Yuwen Jinghuai looked at her back and suddenly asked, "Do you remember everything today?" ”
"Yes." Chu Yue'an turned around and nodded, "Tonight is beautiful, like a dream." ”
The corners of Yuwen Jinghuai's mouth curled, and he waved his hand to let her go.
Fengxi Palace.
The queen mother heard the palace people report the scene of the imperial garden, and when the eldest princess heard this, she smiled lightly: "I really didn't expect that the king of Chu would actually do this place for a woman, I think he should really like Chu Yue'an, the imperial grandmother might as well fulfill them." ”
The Queen Mother smiled lightly: "How can those two children deceive the eyes of the mourning family?" The King of Chu is indeed tempted by Chu Yue'an, but Chu Yue'an may not. ”
"Our King of Chu, who has always been invincible, actually has a time when he is disliked?" The eldest princess smiled, "This Chu Yue'an is getting more and more interesting, if he dies like this, it will be boring!" ”
Chu Yue'an hurriedly walked out of the palace gate and got into the carriage waiting at the palace gate, Cai Yue asked worriedly in the car, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Chu Yue'an shook her head lightly and asked the coachman to drive back quickly, fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and she was not relieved until she returned to Tianhe Courtyard, but fortunately, everything today was just her thinking too much, and there was no accident.
However, the fact that someone wants to kill themselves is like a knife hanging above their heads, which always makes people feel uncomfortable, and it is better to take the initiative to lure the snake out of the hole than to sit and wait for death.
The next day, Chu Yue'an took the initiative to visit King Qin.
Entering the Qin Palace, the county lord of Xianluo took the initiative to ask why the queen mother wanted to see Chu Yue'an alone last night, although the king of Qin never told her about the deeper things behind the assassination, but the county lord of Xianluo had some intuition that this matter may have something to do with the queen mother, and the queen mother called Chu Yue'an last night, maybe it was also for this matter.
"Nothing matters." Chu Yue'an did not hide yesterday's situation, "The Queen Mother wanted to give me a marriage, but then the King of Chu came over to stir up the situation, but it didn't work." ”
"Marriage? Who is the marriage partner? Lord Xianluo asked.
"Tanhualang."
"Him!" The county lord of Xianluo looked disgusted, "His Royal Highness the King of Xin Chu has stirred up the situation, this Tanhualang is black and fat, where can he be worthy of you!" ”
The two talked as they walked, and all the way to the outside of King Qin's study, the county lord of Xianluo took Chu Yue'an's hand and said with a straight face: "You tell me the truth, is the assassination of my father and your assassination related to the queen mother?" The Queen Mother wants to kill my father? ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't want to kill your father." Chu Yue'an said, "But since His Royal Highness King Qin didn't tell you about this matter, he must have his concerns, and you shouldn't ask too much, it may not be good for you." ”
Lord Xianluo bit his lip lightly and said, "I know that my father wants to protect me, but I also want to share my father's worries. ”
At this time, the door of the study opened, and King Qin said inside: "Since Xianluo is also here, you can also come in together." ”
The two entered together, and Chu Yue'an first saluted King Qin and said, "I have some other clues, about the identity of the person who assassinated me. There used to be a eunuch beside the Queen Mother, who was a master of decision-making, and this eunuch is now in the Sun family, and he is the one who assassinated me. ”
"It's him!" King Qin's eyes rolled, and he had the impression that there was this person in his impression, "Two or a few years ago, there was indeed a eunuch by the side of the Queen Mother, and his martial arts were very away, but such a powerful person could not stay in the palace, and then he left the palace, and his whereabouts were unknown after that, it turned out that he had been in the Sun family." ”
"This person's martial arts are really powerful, I am not his opponent at all, now I am being targeted by this person, like a fish in my throat, I can't sleep well at night, I thought about it for a while, and waited for the other party to assassinate when I don't know when, it is better to lead the snake out of the hole." Chu Yuean said.
"You're not wrong." King Qin nodded, "If this person can be captured alive, then Sun Liangpeng will inevitably be ambushed." ”
The county lord of Xianluo heard this, frowned and asked, "Father, this matter is really related to the queen mother?" And the Sun family is also among them? But why did the Queen Mother assassinate you? ”
Chu Yue'an was silent for a moment and said: "Because I and His Royal Highness are investigating the truth of my brother's death, he died at the hands of the enemy, but even more at the hands of his own people, we want to get justice for my brother." ”
"I see." The county lord of Xianluo nodded, and now he finally figured things out, "Brother Chu's death is related to Sun Liangpeng, and now the Queen Mother wants to protect this person." Even the prince dared to assassinate, what else did his grandson family not dare? did such a rebellious thing, the queen mother still had to defend it, she clearly did not treat her father as her son. ”
"I didn't come out of her belly anyway." King Qin smiled, "It is reasonable for her to maintain her mother's family. In fact, the eunuch's martial arts are so high, it is not easy to capture him alive, and this matter has to be pondered again. ”
After a pause, King Qin said again: "Since the Queen Mother wants to maintain the glory of the Sun family, this king is afraid that she will continue to move Xianluo and the princess, so I will inform you of this matter, and I also hope that you can be prepared and not be caught off guard when the time comes." ”
"Understood." Xianluo nodded, "My daughter will protect herself and her mother." ”
Chu Yue was a little sorry in his peace of mind: "It's all for my brother's business, so I affected you." ”
The county lord of Xianluo said open-mindedly: "Brother Chu is a person I admire, he was actually killed by a villain, we must seek justice for him, don't say anything that is not involved, we have always been people in the same boat." ”
Coming out of the Qin Palace, Chu Yue'an didn't have time to think carefully about his plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and was shocked by one thing, something happened to the Duke of Qi, and the eldest prince of Qi died.
Chu Yue'an, who heard the news, couldn't believe his ears, Qi Yujing was a completely different person from Qi Yuzhi in her influence, he was gentle and elegant, tolerant and open-minded, and had the style of a gentleman, how could his good demeanor suddenly disappear?
Chu Yue'an sent someone to inquire, it is said that after returning from the banquet in the palace last night, his body was not very comfortable, but the eldest prince of Qi was afraid of alarming his grandmother, so he kept patient, and this morning, it was too late for the people to ask for a doctor.
Could it be a problem at yesterday's banquet? Is it poisoning? It's just that the rest of the people at last night's banquet were all good, who would poison the Queen Mother's banquet? There is no need for the Queen Mother herself to do it, she has no reason to kill Qi Yujing, so who is it?
Although the people of Ninghou Mansion did not have a good impression of the Qi State Mansion, everyone had a good influence on the Grand Prince of Qi, and they were quite surprised and sorry for his sudden departure.
For the court, this is also a relatively big loss, Qi Yujing is talented and talented, it is a rare talent, His Majesty personally ordered to investigate the cause of the death of the eldest prince.
Both the doctor and the servant examined the body of the eldest prince of Qi, but found no traces of poisoning, and it seemed that it was just an emergency that caused death.
Chu Yue'an also asked Mrs. Qi to come over and personally check the cause of Qi Yujing's death.
Mrs. Qi has been hit by poisoning and her grandson's marriage, her body is not as good as before, she can only raise it, and the eldest grandson who is the most proud at the moment is suddenly gone, which is a fatal blow, when Chu Yue'an arrived, she didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, and she cried so much that both eyes were swollen, so she looked forward to finding out the cause of her grandson's death and giving him an explanation, and he couldn't call him die.
"You need to take care of yourself." Chu Yue'an sighed, "If you go on like this, your own body will be unbearable." ”
Old Madam Qi held Chu Yue'an's hand and couldn't stop shedding tears: "The family is unfortunate, these things have happened one after another, a good family, but now it is in this field." I've lived for decades, and I've lived enough, it makes no difference if I close my eyes early and late when I close my eyes, my only wish now is to be able to know the cause of Yujing's death, and I can't let him die in vain! ”
Chu Yue'an nodded lightly: "I will do my best." ”
