Chapter 67: Beacon Smoke (End)
A female envoy who once served Princess Yan committed suicide at home.
After verification by the Criminal Prison Division, this person did commit suicide, and the reason for the suicide is not yet known, because this person has no relatives and made a mistake in the Yanwang Mansion and was expelled from the palace, and no one cleaned her up at all, and in the end, the Criminal Prison Department paid a sum of money to bury her outside the city.
Almost everyone who knows the inside story has guessed that Princess Yan went strangely, this maid died strangely, Zijin didn't even want to hide it, this person was what she managed to force to die, did the Criminal Prison Department dare to interrogate the eldest lady of Yan Wangfu without any evidence?
"Sister... You..."Wang Yan looked at Zijin and stopped talking, and finally retreated under Zijin's smiling eyes, "It's good that my sister doesn't regret it." β
Zijin stretched out his hand and rubbed Wang Yan's head, "Sister will protect you in the future, I can't take care of Erniang and Sanniang these days, you take care of it more, I'm afraid that Aya will be angry with others when he comes back because he can't stand it, if he just thinks that I haven't taken care of A-Niang, after all, Aya and I have been father and daughter for many years, and we still have some affection, so I won't be too sad, if Aya is angry with the two sisters, I have to ask you and me to mediate." β
"Sister, don't worry, I will take care of my two younger sisters." Wang Yan nodded, after all, this is his sister.
On February 23 of the 20th year of Xuanwu, it was advisable to enter the funeral and move the coffin, avoid praying for blessings and building, the dynasty broke the Liao army, and Xiao Shao, the king of Yan, led the army to the division.
After the obituary of Yanwangfu was sent to Jinling, the spread of the matter was controlled in Jizhou City, and Xiao Shao, who was out on the expedition, naturally did not know, so when Xiao Shao entered the capital protection mansion with the deputy general as usual, the people around him looked at him with an expression of wanting to say nothing.
"What's wrong with you, you're not happy to win the battle?" Xiao Shao looked at the subordinate officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate inexplicably, why did they all look indescribable, "By the way, when I entered the city just now, I saw that there were many road sacrifices in the city, I don't know which respected old man passed away?" β
The subordinate officer of the Duhu Mansion, you look at me, I see you fight with your eyes for a long time before you launch a person, Yu Changshi saluted Xiao Shao, and said bitterly, "The King's Day is mourning, it's the princess." β
"What did you say?"
Xiao Shao's smile froze, and he asked in disbelief, "The princess has always been in good health, how is this possible!" "And how could he not have received any news of this kind of thing?
Seeing Yu Changshi's embarrassed look, he suddenly realized something, yes, it was he who broke the connection with the Qi army, and he couldn't be found in the country at all, let alone deliver the news.
"King!"
Yu Changshi was stunned as Xiao Shao rode out of the Duhu Mansion with red eyes, slapped the frightened guard on the back, and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't go after it yet! β
This is their future boss, His Majesty's beloved son, and if something happens under their noses, none of them will be able to escape.
Several people hurriedly got on the horse, while following King Yan to prevent Xiao Shao from having an accident, and on the other hand, they had to think about not rushing into the surrounding people, and they were soon left behind by Xiao Shao, but fortunately, the Duhu Mansion and the palace were not far apart, Xiao Shao almost rolled down from the horse when he arrived at the middle gate of the palace, and Zijin at the door was even more ruthless in his heart.
Erniang, I can't stand you, I obviously said that I would grow old, but I let you go alone, do you complain about me, I was left alone without realizing it, and I refused to give me a dream.
"Erniangβ"
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
The guests who were ignored by Xiao Shao sighed in their hearts about the depth of the relationship between King Yan and the princess, and at the same time felt that the military was not easy, King Yan was still the emperor's son, and he was the last to know that he had sent his wife, what if he changed to an ordinary family?
"You can come to pay homage to the ancestors with all your feelings, this sentiment has been understood, but today's father has just returned, it is inconvenient to entertain you, and the rude place is still looking at Haihan."
After Zijin put out the obvious meaning of sending off guests, everyone expressed their understanding and left the space to these masters of Yanwang's Mansion.
After sending off the guests in the mansion with a few thoughtful manners, Zijin returned to the main hall where Wang Yuan stopped his spirit, and did not say hello to Xiao Shao, but silently knelt behind Xiao Shao to guard Wang Yuan's spirit.
Xiao Shao and Wang Yan, who were originally in front of the spirit, just knelt quietly and did not disturb Xiao Shao and Wang Yuan's solitude.
"How did you get there?"
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Shao's hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the empty hall.
He didn't look back, but Zijin knew that he was questioning her and asking why she didn't take good care of Wang Yuan.
Zijin gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh, but she didn't make any expression, she asked rhetorically, "The king doesn't know?" β
The hoarse voice without a trace of intonation made Xiao Shao's heart tighten, and he seemed to have forgotten that Zijin was just a seven-year-old child.
Before he could say his words of repentance, Xiao Shao listened to Dao Zijin's calm mockery, "Yes, the king naturally doesn't know when he goes on an expedition." β
This was almost a stab in Xiao Shao's heart, and Xiao Shao almost couldn't resist the urge to slap Zijin.
Zijin looked at Xiao Shao's raised and lowered hand expressionlessly, "If it weren't for the king's mercy on the jade and letting the maid continue to live on the edge of the palace, how could A-Niang be restless and fall down and give birth prematurely because someone falsely spread the news that the king died in battle!" If it weren't for the king's bloodline, how could A-Niang take the secret medicine just to give birth to two younger sisters safely! How? The king is really in love with A-Niang, and the first thing he did when he came back was to beat the child in front of A-Niang's spirit. β
"You!"
Xiao Shao's eyes turned black under Zijin's words, and suddenly he seemed to think of the dream many years ago, the two dark pythons stared at him coldly, their eyes full of hatred.
Almost subconsciously, Xiao Shao looked at Wang Yan behind Xiao Yuan, and there was no emotion in those eyes that were almost exactly the same as Wang Yuan.
Xiao Shao's heart was half cold, he turned his head to look at Zijin, and asked, "What about the maid?" β
"Killed himself." Zijin stared straight into Xiao Shao's eyes, "It's my hand, you don't have a chance." β
Xiao Shao looked at his eldest daughter and said indifferently that she had designed to kill the maid with her own hands, and her tone was ordinary as if she had just crushed an ant to death, which was a side he had never seen before, Xiao Shao thought that Cui Rang had told him that Zijin was born cold, and even Wang Yuan had said something similar, and he only thought that the two of them were wrong, after all, Zijin was obviously an ordinary little lady when he was coquettish and stupid in front of him, how could there be as terrible as the two said.
But now looking at the strange daughter in front of him, Xiao Shao doubted for the first time, after so many years, did he really understand this daughter?
