Chapter 69: The Poison Scheme
Yun Mengchen's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Concubine Qin? But the concubine that the emperor is pampering recently? ”
"Back to the prince, exactly. This Concubine Qin, listening to the news in the palace, said that she was disposed of by the queen because of her intention to murder the prince in the belly of Concubine Rou, and finally found that Concubine Qin's mother was also pregnant with a little prince in her belly, one corpse and two lives! ”
Yun Mengchen was shocked, thinking about something with half-hanging starry eyes, but the hand on his lips tightened unconsciously, and his eyes were as cold as quenching ice: "She is killing three birds with one stone, she is very vicious!" ”
"So the prince, my subordinates feel strange, I heard that the emperor specially pardoned Concubine Qin's clansmen in order to pray for the blessings of the two unborn little princes, so why is this Fucha family still secretly ruthless to her clansmen?"
Yun Mengchen's good-looking eyebrows furrowed deeply: "It seems to be related to the matter of the land and water docks, do you remember that there is a kind of good cashmere blanket in that batch of goods, which seems to be produced in this Chahar, and this quality cashmere blanket can only be produced by Chahar, although Chahar is small, they are a tribe rich in products." ”
The more Yun Mengchen clarified the conjecture in his heart, the more solemn the expression on his face became: "In recent years, the Fucha family has been in contact with this kind of small country, small tribe and land boundary. ”
"What does the prince mean that the Fucha family wants to monopolize the property resources of this Chahar? Maybe it was rejected, or maybe the queen couldn't see this concubine Qin Niangniang's favor, so she designed to frame her.... Oh, my God! Qi Xiao was taken aback by this thought in his heart.
"No matter which possibility it is, after all, this matter is absolutely inseparable from the queen, no wonder she has been quiet for so long recently, it turns out that she has made such a big ploy in the palace!"
"Then the prince, should we remind the emperor..."
Yun Mengchen shook his head helplessly: "There is no evidence, how can I remind that over the years, the Fucha family has become more and more powerful, and his family accounts for nearly half of the people in the court, even if the emperor knows about it, when making any decision, I am afraid that he will have to carefully consider three points!" ”
Qi Xiao lowered his head: "What the prince said is that this is not the case, and the emperor will not say that he will pardon Concubine Qin's clansmen, I think the emperor also has his thoughts in his heart." ”
"Send our people to Chahar, be sure to protect this tribe, and never let anyone destroy it!"
"But Lord Wang, this is the Winter Hunting Meeting soon, and when the time comes, you have to take care of both ends, and you can't send people to Chahar to support!"
"It's okay, divide half of the guards arranged at the winter hunting meeting, and then transfer some from the palace, and take care of the important things over there first, and the matter is urgent!"
"But Lord Wang, with this arrangement, your safety cannot be guaranteed on the day of the Winter Hunting Meeting, and Qi Xiao can't do this!"
"It's an order!"
"But the prince." Qi Xiao wanted to say something more, but was silenced by Yun Mengchen's cold eyes, and finally nodded obediently: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
"Wait!" Yun Mengchen stopped him: "Go and deliver the post to the palace, this king wants to enter the palace." ”
Afraid that someone would look for him, he thought about it and said, "Let's go again tomorrow." ”
"Is the prince going to sleep peacefully?" Qi Xiao is a little strange, it is said that his lord's normal routine is no problem, but in the past, when he was busy like this, he stayed up all night in the study, and it was really rare to go back to the room on time to rest.
If you want to say that there are beauties waiting for this marriage, it's just that recently, the prince and the princess have been sleeping in separate rooms...
"Hmm." Yun Mengchen moved out, and then stopped and looked at Qi Xiao for a while, Qi Xiao looked at him, thinking that he still had some orders, but the prince of his family straightened his head after looking at him for a while, and he didn't leave.
"Lord, do you have any other orders?"
"Hmm." The deep voice sounded and then fell silent again.
...... Qi Xiao didn't make a sound, quietly waiting for his instructions, he knew that there were a lot of trivial matters recently, and it was normal for him to need time to sort it out, after all, it was not a trivial matter, and it was appropriate to make a decision after careful consideration, but....
Yun Mengchen looked at him a few more times before finally opening his mouth, only this time, his voice was more ethereal than before, not so deep and powerful. "That, those little seals you were looking for last time... Find a few more for Ben Wang. After saying these words, Yun Mengchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said it, but his face was red~
.... Ga.... After being silent for a few seconds, Qi Xiao blinked his eyes in disbelief, and it took him a long time to react: "Oh, okay prince." Then he chuckled: "Lord Wang, have you read all the books that your subordinates helped you find before?" ”
"Hmm."
...... Qi Xiao was messy again, he, is his prince shy....?!" That... Then lord, have you tried all the methods mentioned above? After asking, I thought of the scene just now, oh my God, he has really lived for a long time this year, is his thousand-year-old iron tree prince about to bloom?
“......”
Qi Xiao laughed clearly: "Lord Wang, is the method above okay?" ”
"......" was another silence, Qi Xiao thought that Yun Mengchen would not pay attention to his words, but after waiting for a long time, he heard Yun Mengchen spit out a few words in his mouth: "General." ”
One... So so? "Lord Wang, this is what I have worked hard to exhaust all means to finally get these classic cheats..."Qi Xiao looked at his sweeping eyes, and after a pause in his speech for a few seconds: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will continue to find a few more powerful books for the prince!" ”
Seeing his finally relieved eyes, Qi Xiao secretly exhaled, it seems that he has to continue to work hard to keep his treasures! "I must let the prince get the princess as soon as possible!" He is also out of the sea of suffering, his prince is too difficult to serve, someone should take care of him...
...... I stared blankly at the top of the bed, and I couldn't sleep... A person like her who sleeps on the bed actually has insomnia? Uncomfortable, want to cry... After all, she is still too weak to fight these scheming stinky men!
Yan Jiaxin sat up, got dressed and walked out again, the moonlight outside the house was bright, sprinkling a piece of silver light for the entire Chenwang Mansion. She wandered aimlessly, and the cool night breeze blew through her face, dissipating some of her troubled thoughts.
Before she knew it, she had crossed the corridor again to the outside of the courtyard in the forbidden land, and looked at the courtyard surrounded by a mysterious aura, and she sat down at the end of the corridor.
And she didn't notice it all the way, from the moment she walked out of the gate of the West Garden, there had been a figure quietly following her, just like the night she broke into the forbidden place that day.
Yun Mengchen watched her sit down at the end of the corridor, and the direction in which his eyes drifted was where Gu Jing was, and he held all the people on this road back, just because he was afraid that she would be scared when she sleepwalked.
Sometimes when time passes and she hasn't come, he will be a little worried, so he will wait for her halfway, but today is the second time, she seems to have a different kind of mind about this ancient well, and those who want to find the secret of the dragon vein of King Chen's mansion are different.
Yan Jiaxin sat quietly motionless, although she was more than 1.7 meters, she was relatively thin, wearing a winter brocade and a fur coat to wrap her body looked a little thin, and her thin back looked a little lonely.
Yan Jiaxin took out the lost necklace around her neck, under the moonlight, the necklace glowed brightly in her hand, which was given to her by her life-saving benefactor when she was a child, she said, this is their fate.
If she hadn't shown up at the bottom of the well and saved her, perhaps she would have drowned in the well. Rubbing the necklace that looked like a heart, Yan Jiaxin murmured: "Mom, Mom, Aunt Yun, do you know that I'm gone?" ”
She took a heavy breath and spit it out, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, she put the necklace in her heart and covered it: "I came to a very strange place, here, not as peaceful as modern times, it is full of dangers, I have no choice but to get married here..."
Yun Mengchen watched her covering her heart from a short distance just now, the light in her hand just now.... Yun Mengchen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the scene that night and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Yan Jiaxin was standing up and walking back, and saw Yun Mengchen who was thinking about it on the corridor in front of her, Yan Jiaxin looked at the forbidden compound behind her and wanted to explain, Yun Mengchen came back to her senses, and her starry eyes looked at her: "Can't sleep?" ”
Yan Jiaxin nodded: "Hmm." The words he wanted to explain got stuck in his throat, because he didn't seem to be angry this time, and he didn't blame her.
"Follow me." Yun Mengchen said and took the lead in turning to the front, Yan Jiaxin followed, and naturally helped the handle of the wheelchair, the flexibility of his wheelchair is actually stronger than that of modern automatic wheelchairs.
Yun Mengchen took her to a corner of the inner courtyard, and only stopped in front of a tall wooden building, the two guards guarding the door saw him, saluted, opened the door of the wooden building for him, and the two went into the wooden building.
There was nothing in it, it was all empty, and there were wooden cabinets around it, which were filled with all kinds of books, and at first glance, it looked a bit like the library in one kind of TV series.
Yun Mengchen reached the side of the pillar in the center of the wooden building, there was a round wheel axle on the side of the pillar, he stretched out his hand and turned the wheel axle clockwise, and he heard a creaking sound in the column, and then the cylinder below opened like a door...
Yan Jiaxin was dumbfounded, oh my God, the ancient elevator? What is the principle, is it the operation of the mechanism, that is too good! The two of them entered, and Yan Jiaxin heard the squeak again, and then felt that they were slowly rising.
After it stopped, the door opened, and the night scene in front of her was reflected in Yan Jiaxin's eyes, and her big eyes shone with amazing light. "Wow~~ Is this the night view of the entire Yongling City, this is also too beautiful!" She stood on the edge of the verandah of the wooden building, looking at the scene in front of her and sighed.
