Chapter 497: Clues
Qiao Wenxuan is a person with a temperament, although he was slightly dissatisfied with the king's approach before, he always felt that there was a reason for it, but after this incident, Qiao Wenxuan knew that the king was a person who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, so he overturned his previous opinion.
Thinking of the past, Qiao Wenxuan couldn't help but be more wary of the king.
was thinking about something, Qiao Wenxuan only heard the gradual footsteps outside the door, but the footsteps were uneven, as if it was caused by an injury somewhere in the body, Qiao Wenxuan guessed that it was Rong Yan, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, "Rong Gongzi, I have something to tell you." ”
"Young Master Rong, do you know that there is actually a pilgrimage meeting in the Holy Ma Kingdom, and the Holy Son is basically selected from there, but this matter was originally confidential and could not be revealed, so I never told you, but right now, I think this is a clue." Qiao Wenxuan's eyes were a little empty.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Wenxuan looked at Rong Yan with a solemn expression, and saw that Rong Yan was also thinking about things, he was not obsessed with letting Rong Yan answer him, and silently poured two cups of tea.
"According to the head of the Qiao family, this is indeed a very useful clue." Rong Yan slowly had a clue, he rubbed the inconspicuous stubble on his own with one hand, and paused.
"Master Qiao, I think you should not get involved in the affairs of the royal family, after all, your family is here, and if you don't get it right, your family will be implicated, not to mention that if we hadn't come, you would have stayed out of the matter, and the king was not Mingjun." Rong Yan sighed after speaking.
Qiao Wenxuan nodded in agreement, the reason why he greeted the king everywhere was indeed because he was afraid of his own family, Qiao Wenxuan thought about it and suddenly raised his head, "Young Master Rong, I won't come out easily, but if you need it, I won't sit idly by." ”
"These days have really bothered the head of the Qiao family, it's really embarrassing." Rong Yan suddenly felt that Qiao Wenxuan was a little too much, and after being polite, Rong Yan was about to go back to rest, and Qiao Wenxuan didn't stay for long.
Rong Yan just sat on the edge of the bed, he thought about the matter of the pilgrimage meeting, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the key clue to find the easy one, and immediately called Yueqing, "Yueqing, you go to contact the intelligence network, be sure to investigate this matter carefully, and tell them not to reveal their identities, the pilgrimage will definitely be heavily guarded." ”
"Yes, Lord." Yueqing carefully wrote down Rong Yan's words, listening to the name of the pilgrimage, Yueqing frowned, the forces here are intertwined, and they use people's beliefs as a cover to manipulate people's hearts, with his experience, no one wants to mention such a thing, and it must be very inconvenient to investigate.
Yueqing walked in quickly, he sighed softly, and saluted Rong Yan with a frown, although Yueqing thought that there would be obstacles, but she didn't expect that this pilgrimage would be such a large-scale, almost hand-and-eye organization, could disappear in this small country, making people unaware, "Lord, this pilgrimage will be more mysterious than the Holy Sect, and our people can't start at all." ”
"Got it." Rong Yan's reaction when he heard Yueqing's return was not strong, he just wanted to test it, touched the wound, and let Yueqing retreat, he felt that the injury was almost better, and he was really depressed in the house these days, thinking about going to the yard to stretch his muscles and bones for a while.
Rong Yan thought about how to sneak into the pilgrimage meeting, it seemed that he was going to go in person, Rong Yan thought about the pilgrimage meeting, like looking at the wooden handle in a cloth bag, and the invisible side was sharp or bladed, and he had to wait until he was in front of him to know.
In the palace, the palace people nervously went in and out, carrying some fragments of ceramics, glass, and coral, which before today should have been considered priceless.
"Get out of here, get out!" Cheng Shu'er looked sluggish, crying when she thought about it, and sometimes she was so angry that she dropped everything she could in the house, since Rong Yan "died" to save her, Cheng Shu'er has been so stunned, and scolded the king and the palace people around him when he was sober.
The king was really disgusted by Cheng Shu'er's unreasonable troubles, and after dealing with the matter at hand, he came to Cheng Shu'er and warned her, "Shu'er, you are the princess of a country, you should show the dignity of a princess, how can you cry and cry for so long on this trivial matter, where do you put the kingdom of Shengma?" Where do you place the people's respect for the royal family? ”
"I didn't choose to be a princess! Father, you will fulfill me, I must marry Rong Yan, Rong Yan is gone, my heart is broken, father. Cheng Shu'er's face was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, and she ran and knelt down in front of the king, her expression full of sadness, her words full of crying, and she prayed to the king with trembling hands.
The king turned around, pouted, and walked out distraught, and walked back again, "Don't go too far, you are my favorite daughter, yes, but you are a princess, and I am not only your father, I am also the king of the kingdom of St. Ma, and no one can be more important than the country." ”
"The country? Or is it a right? For the right not to give up, even Rong Yan's body was not kept, and even wanted to use this to dissolve the marriage contract between me and Rong Yan, father, I curse you, you treat me like this, you must not die well! Cheng Shu'er was set up by two guards, she struggled, but to no avail, she was extremely disappointed, this palace was her cage.
The king was stabbed by Cheng Shu'er and had been carefully disguised, he squinted his eyes and looked at the people around him, the king's face was like a braised eggplant, probably the king felt that he had lost face, and he was very angry, and warned the palace people that if they spread today's words, they would directly cut down all those present.
Before leaving, the king looked back at Cheng Shu'er, "If the curse could be fulfilled, I would have died a long time ago." ”
Cheng Shu'er was locked up after all, she tore off the wallpaper of the dormitory, demolished the door, tore the brocade into rags, and walked around the courtyard with bloody hands, and the palace people were whispering: "The princess can't be loved, after all, she is crazy." "Only Cheng Shu'er herself knows that she just wants to smash everything here and smash this golden wire cage.
Craftsmen were ordered to come and repair it.
"The king said that you don't have to be luxurious, as long as the people inside can't get out." The guards and craftsmen explained, and after speaking, the door of Cheng Shu'er's yard was opened, and Cheng Shu'er sat lonely on the steps, her eyes were confused, and she suddenly saw a beam of light, and she ran out of the door with tears in her eyes.
The people behind were chasing, but the palace was too big, and Cheng Shu'er was very familiar with this place, so he ran out of the palace smoothly after three crutches.
"Qiao Wenxuan! I'm Cheng Shu'er, I'm a princess, I command you to meet me, you have to meet me. Cheng Shu'er cried as she spoke, knocking on the rough wooden door with her hands that usually only need to move, crying so much outside Qiao's house that the people were scared, Cheng Shu'er was a princess, and she didn't know what the consequences would be if she was turned away.
Hearing the news, Qiao Wenxuan confirmed that Rong Yan did not come out, so he signaled to open the door and let Cheng Shu'er come in, Qiao Wenxuan originally wanted to send Cheng Shu'er back, but what did he think, Cheng Shu'er came in and started to run around, but fortunately, he just went straight to Qiao Wenxuan's bedroom, Qiao Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward, "Princess, what are you doing?" There is everything in the palace, so why bother looking for it here? ”
"Just give me back Rong Yan, I beg you, what do you want? I'll give it all to you. Cheng Shu'er suddenly knelt in front of Qiao Wenxuan and began to cry again, her hair was messy and disheveled, like a crazy woman.
Qiao Wenxuan looked at Cheng Shu'er in front of him and thought about everything, "Princess, you and Gongzi Rong have canceled the marriage contract, how can you give it back, and besides, everything in the palace belongs to the king, what can you pay me?" ”
Cheng Shu'er sat on the ground after listening to Qiao Wenxuan's words, she only knew how to cry, and heard a sound behind her body, Cheng Shu'er suddenly felt that it was Rong Yan's footsteps, but she felt that it was her own hallucination, Cheng Shu'er still turned her head, even if it was an illusion, she had to take another look at Rong Yan, "Rong Yan!" Cheng Shu'er turned around and saw Rong Yan who had just walked over.
Rong Yan wanted to say hello to Qiao Wenxuan and tell him that he was going out for a while, but Pian Pian met Cheng Shu'er.
Cheng Shu'er sat on the ground with a cloak and a hairbeat, if it weren't for the luxurious fabric of the clothes, Rong Yan wouldn't have been able to recognize her, Rong Yan was a little surprised and a little disgusted, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's really you! Rong Yan "Zhao Yunling suddenly found that Rong Yan was really not dead, she jumped up excitedly and ran towards Rong Yan to protect Rong Yan, but Rong Yan dodged.
Rong Yan coughed a few times while holding his chest, covered his head and looked around, and asked to himself, "Why am I here?" Where is this? It's Qiao's house! Saying that, Rong Yan looked surprised, he ran to Qiao Wenxuan to wink, and asked Qiao Wenxuan to quickly get Cheng Shu'er away.
"Young Master Rong! You're finally awake! Hurry back! I'll find a doctor to treat you, a few people went back to Rong Yan's house, Qiao Wenxuan was anxious to send someone to ask the doctor, the doctor in front of Cheng Shu'er, only said that Rong Yan needed to recuperate after his serious injury, and after the doctor finished speaking, he was sent away by Qiao Wenxuan, Qiao Wenxuan was afraid that Cheng Shu'er would ask questions.
Cheng Shu'er looked confused, feeling that everything in front of her was a bit illusory, "Rong Yan, what's going on?" Cheng Shu'er asked.
"Princess, Gongzi Rong has been in a coma for a long time, and he has just woken up, you see that the doctor has told him to recuperate, let's not disturb him." Cheng Shu'er nodded, she was glad that Rong Yan did not die because of herself, although she was reluctant, she still followed Qiao Wenxuan out.
After a while, Cheng Shu'er couldn't sit still, and secretly went to find Rong Yan, not because she missed it, but because she just wanted to express her guilt with Rong Yan.
"Rong Yan, are you deliberately avoiding me? I've figured this out and won't force it anymore. Cheng Shu'er stood at Rong Yan's door, she herself muttered at Rong Yan's door, regardless of whether Rong Yan could hear it or not, just as Cheng Shu'er turned around and was about to leave, Rong Yan's door opened.
Cheng Shu'er saw that Rong Yan was standing at the door, Rong Yan looked at her like that, as if she had just known her, Rong Yan saw Cheng Shu'er put it down, and then told her the truth about Cheng Shu'er's assassination.
