Chapter 160 Settle the matter privately
The more Su Wan spoke, the more emotional he became, and then he stepped forward and said: "After the assassin was discovered, he jumped into the stream and his whereabouts are unknown, so he must be quite familiar with the layout of the palace. He killed my handmaiden, but luckily the handmaiden was able to escape because she had had direct contact with the Assassins, and the retainers asked his father to order the whole team to confront her one by one! ”
The old emperor didn't expect Su Wan to be so bold, and directly asked him to search the whereabouts of the assassin in the whole team, and he was speechless for a while.
Lin Chuyang heard the cause and effect of the matter clearly, and in his heart he was more sure that this was in line with his conjecture, and immediately asked for a song and said: "Weichen implores Your Majesty to approve Princess Chen's request, this matter is very serious, if there is a ghost in the royal team, it will shake the foundation of the country, and it will directly threaten your personal safety!" ”
Su Wan glanced at Lin Chuyang gratefully, she also guessed a little, what he had talked about with the old emperor before must also be related to assassins.
At this moment, it is a two-pronged approach that forces the old emperor to have to send it!
The old emperor looked at Su Wan and Lin Chuyang fixedly for a while, then returned to his position, sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a trip would involve so many disturbances, it seems that this private visit to Weifu can end here." ”
Su Wan was a little anxious, took a step forward, and before he could speak, he saw the old emperor gently wave his hand and said, "I already know what you said, and I will naturally handle it properly." ”
As he spoke, the old emperor glanced at Lin Chuyang on the ground a little tiredly, and said lightly: "You and Princess Chen should step down together, and tell the herald outside when you go out, and the prince will come to see me." ”
Lin Chuyang's eyes were slightly complicated, he could hear it, the old emperor knew that the prince had a problem, but he still decided to shield him and solve the matter in private!
Su Wan naturally understood the extraneous sound, his heroic eyebrows twisted slightly, and said, "Father, since you asked me to arrest the real murderer, why did you save my maid from confronting the assassin face to face?" If this clue that I finally found is broken, I don't know when the next time I will get close to the truth! ”
"Princess Chen, you won the previous bet I made with you, and I won't break my promise." The old emperor looked at Su Wan fixedly, and said in a flat tone.
"What about Xiao Mochen? He was implicated for no reason, and he was still under house arrest in the Jinluan Palace, even though he was loyal and sacrificed his life, how can this be counted? ”
If Xiao Mochen's problem is not solved, Su Wan will definitely not give up.
The old emperor seemed to understand what she was thinking, so he didn't go around in circles, and replied directly: "I will immediately give an order, and tonight I will contact the house arrest of King Chen's Jinluan Palace." After I sort out the cause and effect in the future, I will return justice to King Chen in public. ”
"Okay, so I have to worry about my father!"
Such an answer finally satisfied Su Wan, so she walked down the steps of the old emperor, and after giving a salute, Su Wan and Lin Chuyang walked out together.
After explaining to the herald the old emperor's will to summon the crown prince, Lin Chuyang and Su Wan walked slowly side by side on the way back to the room. For a long time, no one broke this tranquility.
"How's your maid? I still have some medicine there, why don't I drag the little guy to send it to you later? Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Su Wan's residence, Lin Chuyang finally couldn't help but take the lead in opening the conversation.
Su Wan felt a little funny and hooked the corners of her mouth, and said, "Did you forget Chuyang?" I'm a doctor, if nothing else, how can there be a shortage of medicines? ”
Lin Chuyang scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly, "I just want to know if there is anything I can do to help." ”
"Don't be modest, I also want to thank you for your foreshadowing in front of my father before, so that my invitation played the effect it should have." Su Wan was exquisite, and he didn't need Lin Chuyang to say more to understand the cause and effect, and said directly.
Lin Chuyang saw that Su Wan had seen through it, so he didn't plan to hide it, and admitted with a smile: "Today in the bazaar, when I learned the news of King Chen's assassination, I observed that the prince's expression changed, and I felt that there must be a problem. “
"You are still careful, I didn't even notice it at the time." Su Wan couldn't help but secretly marvel at Lin Chuyang's heart being so meticulous.
Hearing Su Wan's praise, Lin Chuyang smiled slightly, but there was a touch of loneliness in his eyes, and he raised his head slightly and said: "You can't see it, but all your energy at that time was focused on the safety of King Chen, where do you have the leisure to see others?" ”
Seeing that Lin Chuyang directly explained his thoughts, Su Wan blushed a little, lowered his head slightly and said: "I'm just angry, he has always been the most tired and hardworking person, and he can't get any benefits, not to mention any benefits, what kind of guilt is the first turn for him." ”
Lin Chuyang shook his head with a smile and said, "Wan'er, this matter can't all look at the surface. If His Majesty really didn't trust King Chen, he would not entrust him with all the military and political powers. Moreover, the king's rewards and punishments have always been profound, and there are many ways to do so. ”
"Oh?" Su Wan was a little strange, turned his head to look at Lin Chuyang and said, "I can't figure it out, my father has always been lukewarm to the prince before, and even a little disgusted, why is he trying to cover it up for him today?" ”
Although the crown prince's culpability has not yet been determined, if it is really him who arranged for his subordinates to disguise themselves as assassins and launch an attack on the old emperor and his party visiting Weifu, it is equivalent to rebellion, and such a serious crime cannot be downplayed and brushed aside.
Moreover, Su Wan didn't believe it, just with the old emperor's tricky and eccentric temperament, he could really forgive the fact that his biological son wanted to murder him.
Lin Chuyang also frowned, thought for a moment and said: "The emperor's mental technique has always been the most difficult to figure out, presumably he doesn't want to expose the palace scandal in a private interview with Weifu." If this matter is really true, I am afraid that it will be recorded in the annals of history for 10,000 years, and at that time, Your Majesty's face should not be good-looking. ”
"It's possible, the old fox cherishes his face the most." Su Wan nodded convincingly.
Lin Chuyang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Su Wan to call the old emperor "old fox" directly in front of him. But this just proves that she has full trust in herself.
"Wan'er doesn't have to worry about the next thing. I believe that with His Majesty's handling of things, he will be able to get to the bottom of the matter. ”
While the two were talking, they had already walked to the gate of Su Wan's residence, and the maid holding the lamp had already bent down and walked out, respectfully welcoming Su Wan in.
"I hope things go well."
Su Wan stepped into the door with a smile, turned around and said goodbye to Lin Chuyang, and said, "If Rushuang has any problems, she doesn't have to worry about it, just come to me at any time." ”
"Don't worry, I'll tell her." Lin Chuyang smiled faintly and waved his hand, then gave a salute and left.
Seeing Lin Chuyang's back gradually disappearing, Su Wan turned around and walked towards the room, not forgetting to ask the lantern maid on the side, "How is Qingyun's situation?" ”
"The slave maid just served the Qingwan girl with some light rice porridge, and she cried out that she was tired, and she had already fallen asleep half an hour ago."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see Su Wan's preference for his maids, and these old people in the palace naturally dare not slack off on Qing Wan.
"Well, that's good." Hearing this reply, Su Wan finally calmed down.
However, tonight, someone's heart can't settle down no matter what.
The crown prince was wrapped in a gray robe, and hurriedly walked down the road behind the herald's father-in-law, with a very ugly expression on his face.
The herald's father-in-law only coldly conveyed the order of the old emperor to summon him late at night, and the others did not say anything, but the prince had a ghost in his heart, and naturally every step was very difficult.
Could it be that Li Weihu has already been caught? Thinking of this, the prince suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The prince never thought that his conversation with Li Weihu would be heard by Su Wan's maid so coincidentally. I don't know how much that cheap hoof overheard, and I don't know the information that I want to kill Xiao Mochen.
Because of the things on his mind, the prince did not look carefully at the road in front of him, and accidentally stepped on a stone, stumbled and almost fell, and couldn't help but be more irritable.
The eyeliner of the prince's subordinates had told him earlier that Su Wan had successfully rescued the maid, and now she is not only alive, but also able to confess herself!
Although this incident happened by accident, it is also to blame Li Weihu for not being clean, and the leader of the dignified killer organization actually let the maid pick up a life.
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but be more atmospheric, clenched his teeth tightly, and his face looked extremely hideous.
"Oops, the miscellaneous family actually forgot an important thing."
Suddenly, the herald who was walking in front suddenly stood still, patted his face in annoyance, and said, "In the evening, Your Majesty instructed me to inform the small kitchen to stew a bowl of blood swallows for him at night, and told me to forget it, seeing that the hour is coming, how can this be good." ”
The prince rolled his eyes behind him and said angrily, "What else can happen?" Go back and wash your neck and wait to be chopped. ”
The herald had been with the old emperor for many years, and naturally knew that the prince was so short-tempered when he spoke and did things, so he naturally didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "Your Highness, you see that Your Majesty's study is not far ahead, otherwise you go alone, and I will go to the small kitchen to arrange it first?" ”
"Go, go, don't show up in front of me."
The prince was distraught, where did he have time to pay attention to this, waved his hand and motioned for the herald to leave.
When the herald walked away, the prince sighed heavily and continued to walk.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly flashed from the low bushes on the side, and stood directly in front of the prince, startling him a lot.
"Who are you?" The prince subconsciously took a step back, raised his voice and said.
"Your Highness, it's me." The black shadow in the shadows took a step forward, and finally revealed his face, it was Li Weihu, who had jumped into the stream and escaped.
After seeing that it was Li Weihu, the prince's expression suddenly became pleasantly surprised. The fact that he can still appear in front of him in such a good manner shows that the old emperor's subordinates did not catch him, that is, there is no evidence that he harbored the assassins!
However, the prince was happy, but he quickly changed his face and said, "You still have the face to appear in front of me?" What do you do? Actually let that slut run away! ”
Hearing this, Li Weihu showed an expression of disbelief and shock, and said, "How is this possible? I used the cloud palm on her heart, she has absolutely no life to live, is it fake news? ”
Li Weihu has always been deeply confident in his martial arts, and naturally he can't believe that there is a weak girl who can escape from him.
The prince glared at Li Weihu viciously and said, "How can there be a fake? The eyeliner I sent out saw with my own eyes that she could eat and drink, and it didn't matter at all! ”
Su Wan's residence in the palace has long been arranged by the prince, and the prince is naturally clear about the size of her house.
Li Weihu was a little helpless, and at the same time a little angry, and said with a blank look in his eyes: "Since this is the case, I will go and take her cheap life now." ”
"Come on, you've already lost your hand once, how can you guarantee that you can do it this time?"
The crown prince categorically rejected Li Weihu's idea. He knew very well that being in the garden before should be Li Weihu's best chance of getting off, but now that Qingyun had returned to Su Wan's house, his eyeliner had already told him that the house was heavily guarded, and Li Weihu should not be able to succeed easily.
Li Weihu was a little stunned, but he still patted his chest and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, if I, Li, can successfully break through the encirclement of those waste officers and soldiers once, I will be able to succeed for the second time, and I will naturally be able to successfully complete your task!" ”
"That's it, this palace is in crisis at the moment, and it's no longer suitable for you to stay here." The prince's eyes lit up and he said, "Presumably, that maid also told me about you and me, and it is even more refreshing to kill her now." ”
"So what do I do now? Leave the palace directly? Li Weihu was a little dazed, he had never failed in his career as a killer, so he didn't know how to deal with the situation.
The prince nodded with a gloomy face and said, "You will hide in an inn called Tongfu Restaurant on the outskirts of the city now, which is the location of my power branch, and the shopkeeper will naturally protect you." I have orders to send someone to contact you in the future. ”
"Yes!"
Li Weihu knew that the situation was complicated now, so he didn't say much, and hurriedly said goodbye to the prince and left.
The prince sighed faintly, but instead raised a smile. It seems that the herald is really at the right time, if he hadn't walked alone, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that Li Weihu had escaped.
Since Li Weihu's trump card was still firmly held in the palm of his hand, he was naturally not afraid of the old emperor's interrogation and embarrassment.
The prince made up his mind and walked quickly to the emperor's study, and before he could reach the door, the father-in-law in charge said in a long tone: "The prince has arrived." ”
This swishing herald gave the prince goosebumps, and he didn't dare to think about what kind of future fate was hidden behind the closed door, but he had to face it.
After gently pushing open the door, the prince didn't dare to look at the old emperor in front of the desk, so he knelt directly on the ground and said, "Father, Wanfu." ”
The old emperor didn't look up at him, but raised a smile without warmth and said, "Why is the prince so cautious, it seems that he has done something wrong." The latest chapter of "The Runaway Princess is Very Easy Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
