Chapter Ninety-Three: Bad Fate
Hearing Wen Xize's words, Wen Zhiyan, Wen Zhiyan, Wen Zhiyu and Su Jingxuan all knelt down, and Wen Zhixuan spoke: "Father, at this time, the ministers will definitely investigate thoroughly." ”
"At the beginning, someone was able to send wolves to Huayang Mountain, and now someone can dig a secret passage from the night market to the outside of the city, is it useless for the officials and soldiers of Xichu, or is it useless for me to be the emperor?"
"The emperor is a famous king through the ages." Su Jingxuan hurriedly replied, "This matter seems to involve a wide range of people, and those robbers are definitely not ordinary people. ”
"Can ordinary robbers dig through the tunnels without even noticing?" Wen Xize said angrily, "Did you say that Lin Wanyang found anything?" ”
Wen Zhiyan spoke: "Father, Erchen thinks that Princess Wanyang must have discovered something wrong, but she hid it. ”
Wen Zhiyu also echoed: "Princess Wanyang, a woman, can find that cottage before everyone, which is unusual in itself. ”
Wen Xize looked at Wen Zhiyu, who had been silent: "Prince, what do you think?" ”
Wen Zhiyu replied: "Erchen thinks that Princess Wanyang is very likely to be innocent this time. ”
"How?" Wen Xize asked.
"The imperial doctor said that the soft tendons in Princess Wanyang were dosed, and Erchen felt that Princess Wanyang might have been discovered from the time she entered the cottage, and the second master deliberately added an extra dose to the bowl of wine, but he didn't expect that the third master would actually have the idea of dying together, which gave Princess Wanyang a chance to escape."
Wen Xize pondered Wen Zhixuan's words, and asked Su Jingxuan again: "General Su, you were also present at the time, what do you think?" ”
In fact, after the fire was extinguished, Weichen checked all the corpses, and among those corpses, he found the remains of a woman who was about the same size as Princess Wanyang, but the corpses had been burned so that she couldn't see her face clearly. If we hadn't found Princess Wanyang at that time, then the corpse of this woman would probably have been taken as Princess Wanyang. "It's the first time Su Jingshuo has said this.
Wen Xize was a little incredulous: "What did you say?" ”
"Weichen suspects that this time, it is very likely that he went to Princess Wanyang, but Princess Wanyang had a big life and escaped." Su Jingxuan analyzed, "If it is really as Princess Wanyang said, if this second master wants to kill the third master, why don't you just use poisonous wine, but use soft tendons instead?" ”
Wen Xize thought for a moment, and he already had an idea in his heart: "It seems that there are really people who can't get used to the marriage between Western Chu and Eastern Xia, and they still don't give up at this time." ”
Wen Zhiyu kept his head down, unable to see his expression clearly, Wen Xize saw that they were all kneeling, so he asked them to get up: "I always feel that these things are definitely not simple, but there is no other way at the moment, and it will definitely not work to investigate them with great fanfare." ”
"And what about this?" Su Jingxuan asked.
"This time, the four of you can't touch your hands anymore, I know it. All in all, fill in the dark passage first. During this time, it happened to take advantage of the prince's wedding, and the entire capital, including the palace, must not leave any hidden dangers. ”
Wen Zhiyu already knew Wen Xize's thoughts, it seemed that Wen Xize was planning to check it himself, these things had seriously threatened Wen Xize's throne, once he was threatened, then only by checking him himself would he be most at ease.
"Yes!" The four of them were commanded.
"Also, to appease the people, this matter is also very important." Wen Xize thought for a while, "Zhiyan and Zhiyu, this matter will be handed over to the two of you, and you must help Master Cheng finish it." ”
"Yes!" Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu took the order.
Wen Xize still didn't worry about Lianzhi: "Prince, during this time, if you have time, you will accompany Princess Wanyang, and it will not be easy for her." ”
"The retainers obeyed." Wen Zhiyu replied.
The four of them went out of the imperial study, Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu hurried out of the palace to find Master Cheng, and Wen Zhiyu sent Su Jingxuan away, but the two walked very slowly.
"Prince, you should have a good idea of this, right?"
"Hmm."
"Do you still think that Princess Wanyang doesn't know anything?"
Wen Zhiyu found the corpse of a woman similar to Lianzhi in the cottage, and thought that Lianzhi would not let her leave, and after she woke up from a nightmare, how could she not guess that someone wanted to take her away, but she escaped. And after Lianzhi escaped, he was still very afraid of being taken away by that person.
But who is that person, and who can make Lianzhi refuse to tell the truth?
"Uncle, there are some things that the king already knows, so there is no need for uncle to worry about it anymore."
"The prince has really grown up." Su Jingxuan's words have a profound meaning.
"This king knows what his uncle is worried about, but there are always pros and cons to everything, rather than weighing for a long time and not being able to choose, it is better to go directly according to his own heart."
"Is the path the prince is taking now what he wants to choose?"
"Yes!"
Su Jingxuan sighed, Wen Zhixuan's so determined appearance reminded him of Su Yu. When Su Yu entered the palace back then, he was also so firm, but in the end, he ended up with a red face and dry bones.
"I see that you have always been concerned about that princess of Wanyang, so let's go and see her quickly, and I'll go back myself."
Seeing this, Wen Zhiyu did not refuse: "Then the king will go to visit Princess Wanyang first." ”
Seeing Wen Zhixuan leaving, Su Jingxuan couldn't help but shake his head: "Bad fate, mother and son are both dead-eyed......"
When Wen Zhiyu went to see Lianzhi again, Lianzhi had just lay down. Wen Zhiyu didn't alarm Lianzhi, but asked Su Yue carefully about the situation of Lianzhi after she left, and heard Su Yue say that Lianzhi was now emotionally calm, so she didn't disturb Lianzhi to rest and left first.
Honglu Temple Post House, after Fan Ninghuai went back, he locked himself in his room and closed the door.
When it was time for dinner, Mu Yi entered the room with the meal, he looked at Fan Ninghuai sitting there with a gloomy face, and persuaded: "Lord Wang, let's have some dinner, there is no need to get along with your body." ”
"Mu Yi, you said that if this king hadn't brought Lianzhi back then, wouldn't so many things have happened?" Fan Ninghuai's face flashed with loneliness, "This king didn't expect that at such a point, she would still have to return to Wen Zhiyu's side, doesn't she know how much she paid to take her back to this king?" ”
The entire cottage was burned to the point that there was nothing left, so many people died, and even the secret passage was exposed, which did not hesitate to arouse the suspicion of the Chu Emperor, just to be able to bring Lianzhi back, and this price was paid very much. Lian Zhi knew all this, but he still chose to escape, and Fan Ninghuai didn't get anything this time.
"Lord Wang, Miss Lianzhi has made up a statement and has not revealed our affairs, maybe Miss Lianzhi really wants to cut off all relations with us. In fact, as long as Miss Lianzhi stays in Xichu, it will be a good thing for Dongxia and the prince. Mu also persuaded.
Fan Ninghuai didn't understand this truth: "But this king is unwilling. ”
"Lord Wang, since you are destined not to take away Miss Lianzhi, your subordinates dare to ask you to let Miss Lianzhi go." Mu Yi knelt down in front of Fan Ninghuai, "The prince has been stubborn for his obsession once before, but the result is already in front of him, why can't the prince let Miss Lianzhi stay in Xichu?" ”
"Mu Yi, this king knows that you are thinking about the overall situation, and this marriage is beneficial and harmless to Dongxia. But after Lianzhi left Dongxia, this king found out that I couldn't leave her, but unfortunately this king found out too late. ”
"Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, and my subordinates beg you to let go, for the sake of Dongxia, but also for yourself." Mu also kowtowed.
Fan Ninghuai sneered: "This king will never let go, as long as Lianzhi is alive for a day, this king will definitely let her come back." ”
Mu Yi exited the room, and he recalled what Lian Zhi had told him.
Guilty?
He must have felt guilty, otherwise he would not have dared to go back to face those former brothers. But those people were originally chess pieces, and they had done too many things over the years, which had already aroused the suspicion of others, and once they were found, they would definitely have nothing to do with Dongxia.
This time, even if they didn't die to set up this game, Fan Ninghuai would not leave them alive. It's just that before killing them, I used their last value thoroughly, but I didn't expect to get nothing after planning for so long.
However, Mu Yi was also very curious, how did Lianzhi do it, and when the muscles in his body were several times weaker, he could not alarm the guards guarding the door to escape?
