Chapter 215: Concubine Jing's Tragedy
When Yanyu came out of the immortal tomb in the earrings and appeared in the dormitory, he heard a quarrel outside, so he opened the door suspiciously, and it turned out to be a team of royal forest soldiers who were in a stalemate with Meng Ling and the four royal guards of the Fengyi Female Palace.
It seemed that these guards were going to enter her dormitory to search for something, and Meng Ling was ordering the royal guards to do everything they could to stop it.
Because it was midnight after all, Meng Ling knew that she had just slipped out to do something before the rain, and when she came back half an hour ago, her face was not good, she must have been exhausted and fell asleep.
In addition, in Meng Ling's mind, Yanyu is the princess of the Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom, a golden branch and jade leaf, how could she be casually intruded by these vulgar and rude Imperial Forest Army and disturb the princess, that is her dereliction of duty, so she insisted on letting the royal guards desperately block the gate of Yanyu Dormitory, just not letting the Imperial Forest Army enter.
Because these four royal guards are the full-time people who protect the female officials in the Fengyi Female Official's Palace, and they only obey the orders of the Fengyi Female Official, plus when Yanyu shot out to heal the dying Meng Ling in the bamboo forest before, these four royal guards all saw Yanyu's miraculous medical skills, so they respected Yanyu very much, and regarded her as a master who was determined to follow her to the death, so even in the face of the Royal Forest Army, which was much larger than them, they were still loyal to their duties and would never back down.
"Meng Ling, what happened? Why are you arguing at the door of my dormitory? Yanyu asked a little confused.
Although she was calm on the surface, she was also secretly shocked in her heart, that is, she thought that the matter of sneaking into the deep pool of the Imperial Garden just now was revealed!
However, Yanyu thought that he had transformed into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog just now, and he was very careful that he should not be discovered.
And even if she was discovered, it was impossible to know that it was her, so she secretly reminded herself not to panic, it was a big deal to let the Royal Foresters enter the house to search, she was not worried that any evidence against her could be found in the house.
"Lord Qiqi, these royal guards said that everyone in the palace was killed before Concubine Jing Niangniang's palace, so they are searching the palace with all their might, looking for assassins, but their subordinates have been guarding the door, and no one has broken in, how can the assassins appear in the adults' room? Besides, the subordinates knew that the adults had rested, so they tried their best to block it. I didn't expect it to disturb the adults, please punish the adults! Meng Ling said extremely apologetically.
"My lord, my subordinates are also acting on orders, so please understand and cooperate with me. After all, dozens of lives were killed in Concubine Jing's palace this time, which caused Long Yan to be furious, so he ordered the palace to be searched. One of the soldiers in the Imperial Guards said respectfully.
"What? Dozens of lives killed? Since it is such a big case and it is a matter of human life, this official can naturally understand it. Meng Ling, let them come in and search. Yanyu said in shock, and then leaned sideways, agreeing.
"Yes, sir." Meng Ling and the four royal guards said respectfully, and after finishing speaking, they also made a way out of the way, signaling that the Royal Forest Army could go in and search.
"Thank you, sir!" The Imperial Guards soldier said respectfully, and then rushed into the rainy dormitory and looked around.
During the search of the Imperial Forest Army, Yanyu stood there and fell into deep thought, she was guessing who was so bold to sneak into the palace and break into Concubine Jing's palace to slaughter the palace, this is too lawless!
She didn't know if Concubine Jing had offended others, or if she had harmed others first, and then suffered retaliation.
However, no matter what the reason, and no matter who is right or wrong, Yanyu is sure of one thing, that is, this palace seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact it is still full of dangers, and it is not impossible to kill Concubine Jing Niangniang today, and it is not impossible for her turn tomorrow.
After all, since ancient times, the palace has been the most complicated place, and it is necessary to always be cautious in words and deeds, step by step, in order to avoid becoming a victim of the palace struggle.
So at this moment, Yanyu was even more determined that she must not reveal her identity as the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden, otherwise once she entered the palace, the final outcome might not be much better than Concubine Jing.
When she watched those Royal Forest soldiers rummaging around her dormitory, Yanyu also hoped that they would quickly search and leave, and she would continue to rush to the deep pool to find antidote herbs.
Because suddenly, she especially wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, to leave this place of right and wrong, so as not to worry all day long, and live a life of calculation and calculation, which would be too torturous.
"My lord, my subordinates have searched and found nothing, so please understand if you are disturbed. The subordinates retired. Just as Yan Yu was lost in thought, the Imperial Forest soldier said respectfully.
"Sister, it's not too early, I'll arrange someone to help you rearrange the dormitory immediately, and you can go to sleep, right?" Meng Ling glanced at the mess in the room that had been turned over by the Imperial Forest Army, and said with a frown.
"This ...... Forget it, let's tidy up tomorrow during the day, don't wake them up, I'll just go to the study. Yanyu also glanced back at his dormitory and said empathetically.
"That'...... Well, sister please. Meng Ling hesitated for a moment and said, she also understood that even if she immediately woke up the other palace maids to clean up the dormitory, it would not be possible to clean up in a short time, so it was better to do it according to Yanyu's meaning.
After coming to the study, Yanyu came to the desk, took a book in his hand, and looked at it carelessly.
Meng Ling helped her clean up the temporary bed in the study, and after making it, she quickly rushed over to ask Yanyu to sleep.
Originally, Yanyu planned to wait for the Imperial Forest Army to leave, and she continued to go to Shentan to find an antidote, but after thinking about it, such a big thing happened in the palace tonight, there must be patrolling Imperial Forest Army everywhere, and if she went out rashly, it would be troublesome if she was discovered.
So she decided to give up her previous idea and spend the night in the study, and wait for tomorrow daylight.
After letting Meng Ling go back to sleep, Yanyu sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the immortal tomb in the earrings again to cultivate.
In fact, for Yanyu, when he entered the cultivation state in the Immortal Tomb, it was better than sleeping and resting in bed.
This kind of cultivation that can not only cultivate the mental method, but also sleep with peace of mind, also made Yanyu gradually obsessed.
Unconsciously, it was time again, and not long after Yanyu returned to the study from the earrings, Meng Ling came.
said that the Holy God invited her to come over, and for Yanyu, it was the first time that she was summoned by the Holy Lord so early.
Although she had a hunch that maybe the Holy Lord had summoned her early in the morning to have something to do with the murder of Concubine Jing last night, she still didn't want this to happen, because she really didn't want to get involved in the palace dispute.
However, when she walked into the Holy Imperial Study and saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also there, she knew that she couldn't be wrong. It's just that she didn't notice that the moment Jun Buyu saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
After saluting the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with some helplessness, Yanyu stood there silently waiting for the Holy Lord to announce it.
Sure enough, the Holy Lord said straight to the point without regrets: "I summoned you two today because of the murder of Concubine Jing last night, after all, this is a matter of royal face, so it is not appropriate to make a noise, it can only be a secret investigation, and it cannot be delayed for too long." Therefore, I hope that within three days, you must find out the truth, and according to the results of your investigation, I can give a reasonable explanation to the harem, the court, and the people of the world. ”
"Father, the son of the emperor will give the emperor a decree, and promise to give the father the truth within three days." Jun Buyu said without the slightest hesitation.
"This ...... Your Majesty, subordinate to the order. Yanyu hesitated for a moment and said, she wanted to shirk it, but she felt that since the saint had summoned her, she must have recognized herself, who made herself a disciple of the grandmother in charge! Then he said yes again.
"Good! In order to make it easier for you to investigate, I will give you both gold medals, and you can go in and out of the palace at will, as well as go out of the palace to investigate. If necessary, you can also call on the Royal Foresters to help you, and if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me at any time, and I will surely clear all obstacles for you. Go ahead. I'm just waiting for good news. Jun Wuregret said solemnly, and casually gave each of them a gold medal.
"Son's resignation!" Jun Buyu said respectfully.
"The subordinates retired." Yanyu also said respectfully.
After coming out of the Holy Upper Palace, Yanyu was both happy and worried.
Happily, she finally got the royal gold medal, and from now on, she can enter and leave the palace at will, even including leaving the palace to investigate, which is also very helpful for the plan she made before to find and remove the toxins in Meng Ling's body.
Even with this gold medal, she can go out of the palace and secretly go to the General's Mansion, just to visit her mother Yuan Xunshuang.
And what she is worried about is that once she is discovered by the murderer's forces in the process of investigating the murder of Concubine Jing, it is very likely that she will be secretly investigated, and it is very likely that her relatives and friends will be killed.
After all, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is impossible to prevent it.
And Yanyu has a premonition that the other party dares to kill so much in the palace, without a certain background, and does not dare to mess around like this and provoke the emperor.
So she felt a lot of pressure, and another thing that made her uncomfortable was that she still had to investigate the case with Jun Buyu, but the last thing she wanted to see was Jun Buyu.
After all, she knew that she was a lotus born heavenly daughter, and it stands to reason that she would marry this lotus born heavenly son in the future.
In that case, she will never have any more freedom in her life.
Just like the nightmare she had when she just woke up from the fifteen-year freeze, not long after entering the palace, she was thrown into the cold palace and lived her life miserably, what a sad end it should be!
Thinking of this, Yanyu's mood was very depressed, he didn't want to say anything, his mind was chaotic, and he followed Jun Buyu forward in a daze.
Jun Buyu also seemed to see Yanyu's thoughts, and said very understandingly: "That's it, we only have three days, so it's best to go separately to check the safest and most time-saving, so let's go to Concubine Jing's Palace to check the scene now, and then go separately to check, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my subordinates also think it's so good." When Yanyu heard this, he naturally replied cheerfully.
