Chapter 77: Did the Lin Family Do This?
The crown prince ordered someone to transfer all the records, although there were several thick copies, but fortunately, the general palace has a fixed royal merchant, so it is not difficult to check.
Ning Ke glanced at it roughly, and didn't find anything unusual at first, they were all some well-known merchants in Kyoto, and there should be no motive for poisoning.
However, when she continued to look down, several big words instantly came into view, and her eyes lit up.
"Lin's Firm!"
Chu Junyue also opened his own book, and his slender fingers fell on the same name, "There are also here." ”
"The Lin family's firm?" the prince thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "This palace knows! This is the ancestral business of the concubine Shu's mother's family, that is, the Lin family!"
Ning Ke would not have known about the Lin family's firm, she had cheated Shufei in several stores, including the rice store of the Lin firm.
So, did the Lin family do this? The purpose was to get Chu Yuxuan the position of the crown prince, so he poisoned it?
This thing seems to be very reasonable and motivating, but Ning Ke still can't figure it out, why the Lin family would choose such a way, it is inevitable that they are too patient!
"Miss Ning! Miss Ning!" the prince called her urgently, "This palace feels that this matter is inseparable from the concubine! She is jealous and arrogant, and it is not a day or two that she has been rampant and domineering in the palace, and she is most disgusted with the queen mother, and she is not used to seeing this palace ascend to the position of the crown prince! That's why she thought of this method to harm this palace!"
The more the prince spoke, the more angry he became, and he was very determined, as if the case had already been decided.
"Prince, there is no evidence on this matter, so don't make a conclusion yet. Chu Junyue said in a deep voice: "In addition, don't make a noise, so as not to startle the snake." ”
The crown prince said angrily: "This is the obvious thing! Concubine Shu has coveted the position of the crown prince for a long time!"
"But you also need evidence!" Chu Junyue glanced at him angrily, and his tone became a little more serious, "The Lin family is not an ordinary family, as long as you don't have conclusive evidence, you can't move the Lin family!
"But......" The prince was pressed by his majesty, and his momentum weakened instantly.
Chu Junyue snorted and continued: "The emperor has already handed over this matter to this king to deal with, as long as the prince recovers quietly, he will leave the rest of the matter alone." ”
"Uncle Huang......." The prince didn't dare to refute after being reprimanded, and lowered his head in a sneer, "This palace knows." ”
Ning Ke looked at Chu Junyue's cold appearance, and suddenly felt that the prince was a little pitiful, although this prince was not smart, but he was not the prince, and it was quite funny to be bluffed like this.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Ning Ke and the regent will definitely find out the truth about this matter, Your Highness's task now is to take care of your body, and leave the rest to me. ”
The prince's face was a little better, and he glanced at Ning Ke gratefully, but because of Chu Junyue's cannibalistic eyes, he turned his gaze away again, "That....... Then trouble Miss Ning and Uncle Huang. ”
"Well, remember not to make a noise about this matter, and only say that I am here for a follow-up visit. Ning Ke advised.
"Well, Hongu understands. ”
"That's good. Ning Ke nodded, "Then the prince should have a good rest!
The prince was a little reluctant, "Are you leaving?"
Chu Junyue's cold eyes flew over, and the prince couldn't help but shrink his neck, and added, "However, I think you are also very busy, so let's do it next time! Next time, the palace will personally hold a banquet to thank Miss Ning....... There is also an imperial uncle. ”
At this time, Chu Junyue was satisfied, turned around, swaggered side by side with Ning Ke, and strolled out of the East Palace.
While walking on the road, Ning Ke suddenly asked Chu Junyue his own question, "Do you think the Lin family did this?"
"What do you think?" Chu Junyue kicked the question back again.
Ning Ke shook his head, "I can't say it, I just think it's a little strange, this is not like Concubine Shu's style, instead of poisoning for more than ten years, it is better to get it done quickly." When the time comes, find a substitute for the dead ghost, and this matter will be over, so why bother so much. ”
"Perhaps, the person who poisoned him didn't want people to know that the prince was poisoned, so he made this decision. Chu Junyue said.
"Well, also, although the queen is low-key, and she doesn't work against Concubine Shu on the surface, everyone knows that the relationship between the two is definitely not right. So how could the queen not guard against the Lin family, and still let the Lin family succeed in delivering the goods?" This is another question from Ning Ke, maybe it was also because it came too suddenly, but it made her not believe it.
Chu Junyue squeezed her hand, "Take a moment, we'll find out when we go to explore the truth." ”
"Let go, if you have something to say, don't do it. Ning Ke glared at him, and was about to have a seizure, when suddenly a phoenix came in front of him, and the queen's gentle and friendly laughter came through.
"It turns out that it's really you, Ke'er, LaCrosse. Hongu thought it was a mistake. ”
Ning Ke shook Chu Junyue's hand away with a brush, and made a salute unhurriedly, "I've seen the queen mother." ”
"Imperial sister-in-law. Chu Junyue just nodded lightly, and it could be regarded as a salute.
The queen smiled: "Ke'er is so polite again! In the future, there will be no need to salute if there are no outsiders, and we are not outsiders." Besides, you saved the prince, and the palace hasn't thanked you properly!"
"Queen Mother, it is Ning Ke's duty to practice medicine and save people, so there is no need to be so polite. Ning Ke stood generously on the side, not arrogant or impatient.
The queen's eyes became more and more appreciative, and she nodded again and again, "Ke'er is really a good girl, and this palace has never looked at the wrong person." After a pause, she said again: "Ke'er just went to Tai*li?"
"Hui Niangniang, yes, Ning Ke went to see the prince for a follow-up, and it happened that the regent also went to visit the prince. Ning Ke didn't mean to hide it from the queen, but he just felt that it was inconvenient to speak now, and he didn't want to be heard by someone who cared.
"Oh, that's a hassle for the two of you. The queen smiled embarrassedly, "I should have invited you to dinner and then go back, but the palace is about to leave the palace to make a vow, and the palace has been praying to God and worshiping the Buddha every day for many years, and finally rescued the prince, so I had to go." So...... I can only ask for two more on another day. ”
Everyone knows that the queen mother is devoted to the Buddha, and every fifteenth day of the new year, she will go out of the palace to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
Generally speaking, the harem concubines are not allowed to leave the palace except for the provincial relatives, but the emperor does not know whether it is out of affection or debt, but he is very conniving. For so many years, every time the queen would be let out of the palace and someone would be sent to protect her.
"It's okay, then go first! Ning Ke obediently stepped aside and sent the queen away.
"Okay, we should also go back to rest and recuperate, and then investigate in the evening!" Chu Junyue naturally took Ning Ke's hand again, and Shi Shiran walked towards the palace gate.
Ning Ke: "......"
Don't you want to be so handy!
*
Night.
Ning Ke changed into a pure black slim tight-fitting night suit, outlining the curves of the upper body, graceful and tough, with straight and slender long legs, tight and powerful lines.
She just stood there, and she felt a kind of heroic temperament, which was eye-catching!
In modern parlance, that's one word – cool!
Qingqiang looked at her, saliva was about to flow out, holding her little heart and muttering, "Miss Woo is so handsome!
"Of course!" Ning Ke flicked his ponytail, hooked the corners of his mouth wickedly, and teased Qingqiang with a gesture, "What? Little girl, do you want to be my son's maid?"
"Oh Miss, what are you ...... Why isn't it serious!" Qingqiang's face turned red and stomped her foot shyly.
Ning Ke snorted and laughed, and then he was willing to let her go, "Okay, I won't tease you, don't worry, I will definitely find you a wishful husband in the future, and I won't let you sleep!"
"Miss, you're still laughing at the slave!"
Ning Ke smiled even more happily, she didn't have any other pastime on weekdays, so she liked to tease Qingqiang, and she felt funny when she looked at the little girl who was shy.
"Miss, you're dressed like this...... Where are you going?" "After all, Mama Wang is older and more conservative, at first she didn't agree to make such tight clothes for Ning Ke, although it looks good, but ....... It's too tight, isn't it?
"I'll go out to do some errands, and you'll remember to cover for me later, and if the master comes, you'll say I'm asleep." Ning Ke commanded, "Got it?"
"Well, slave maid understands. ”
Ning Ke estimated the time, thinking that Chu Junyue should also arrive, so he let Qingqiang and Mama Wang go out, and entered the secret room through the passage under the bed.
Now Ning Wei has a strange attitude towards him, and she will come to see it from time to time, she is afraid that Chu Jun will be bumped into by Ning Wei when he comes, so it is safer to make an appointment in the secret room.
"Ke'er?"
In another secret passage outside the secret room, Chu Junyue's suspicious voice came, "Xiao Ke'er is really you?"
Ning Ke lit the lamp and was silent, "Who else but me?"
"No....... I just ......." Chu Junyue walked closer, his eyes fell on Ning Ke's tight and uncumbersome night clothes, modified so that her body was so tight and sexual, she was used to seeing her in plain clothes on weekdays, and she never thought that she could be so suitable in black, cold and still cold, and added a bit of charming sexuality.
When he first looked at it, he thought it was an illusion, but he didn't expect it to be her!
She like this, he really ...... Shocked, and rejoicing!
"Have you seen enough?" Ning Ke suddenly turned his head and glanced at him coldly, "If you have seen enough, you will act!"
Chu Junyue didn't feel embarrassed to be recognized, and hooked his lips and smiled, "I can't see enough! I can't see enough in this life! I will look at you like this in the next life, and I will look at you like this in the next life, you are different." ”
Ning Ke: "......"
This man ...... Why so talking!
The most important thing is that when she heard those words, her heart beat inexplicably fast, what the hell!
"Let's go!" I don't know if it's annoyed or angry, Ning Ke turned around and left first.
Chu Junyue looked at her slender figure, his gaze deepened, and after a while, he quickly followed.
*
The two of them came to the Lin family's largest trading house warehouse, that is, the rice granary dedicated to supplying the royal family.
It's very big, not to mention that there are more than a dozen large warehouses, Ning Ke and Chu Junyue discussed it and decided to investigate one by one.
Although there are many people guarding it, for Chu Junyue, it is all a small matter, not to mention that Ning Ke also went out with *, and the two cooperated and were invincible.
Successfully entered a granary, and before Ning Ke had time to check, he found that there was a bright light in front of him, and there were faint low lewd screams of men and women.
"No...... No, I beg you to ......."
"It's useless to beg! you're one of our brothers tonight!"
......
Ning Ke suddenly felt that the woman's voice was very familiar, and was about to say something to Chu Junyue, but as soon as he turned around, he saw someone's deep eyes......
