Chapter Ninety-Nine: Exploring the Prince's Garden at Night

Nan Xinuo returned to the inn and didn't see Yun Shizi, and was slightly disappointed, but the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rescued Qiu Lu was too surprising for her. She had a lot of speculations about Mu Wan'er being trapped, but she didn't expect the possibility of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dying at night.

In the evening, she hadn't gotten any news from Mu Wan'er and Qiu Lu, and Nan Xinuo was a little anxious, so she asked Qiu Lan to inquire about Ye Zhanche's residence, and she decided to visit Ye Zhanche's villa at night.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Yun Shizi to come back and talk to him, but the moon was hanging high, and she didn't see Yun Shizi come back. I was still very surprised and worried in my heart, but thinking that his martial arts were outstanding, and he was protected by a master by his side, as well as the talisman poison he gave him, there should be nothing wrong.

So she didn't plan to wait for Yun Shizi, so she only left a letter and took Qiulan to the palace where she was dyed in the night. Qiulan originally wanted to stop Nan Xinuo, after all, with her identity, it was not suitable to come to the prince's garden.

If someone finds out, Nan Xinuo's reputation will be damaged, even if Yun Shizi doesn't care, but as a princess, it will inevitably be discussed. If she saves Qiu Lu, she can do it herself.

But Nan Xinuo didn't care about this, she just wanted to know what the situation was with Mu Wan'er and Qiu Lu now. I thought in my heart, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved Qiu Lu for Mu Wan'er, let her mix incense to confuse He Long, force him to tell the truth, and return Lin Xuan's innocence, then his goal has been achieved, why didn't he let Mu Wan'er and them leave?

"County Lord, there is no one patrolling inside."

Qiulan said that there was no one on the roof in Nanxinuo, so she jumped lightly, turned over and jumped into the Yezhan Che garden with a chic and easy look, took a closer look inside, and found that there were no guards, although she was a little lucky, but she also felt very surprised and uneasy.

How could the prince's palace not have guards?

Nan Xinuo hid behind the pear tree, looked around, and found that there was no sound, and confirmed that no one was guarding in the dark.

"Although Ye Ran Che's martial arts are very strong, but after all, he is the crown prince, how can there be no hidden guards around him?"

Nan Xinuo thought that she had excellent hearing, and even the slightest sound could not escape her ears, even Yun Shizi's hidden guards, she could hear their presence. But in the silence of the garden, she heard nothing.

Either this garden is really unguarded, or the hidden guard of the night is too powerful to avoid her ears.

Nan Xinuo is clearly biased towards the first type.

"County Lord, my subordinates feel a little uneasy." Qiulan took a few steps forward, and the darkness and silence in it made her panic, and she always felt that there was an ambush.

Nan Xinuo also felt that this villa was dead silent, except for a glimmer of light in one place, the rest was pitch black, which was very unusual. But she asked the Emerald Bird to explore the way, but she didn't find anything abnormal, and after hesitating, she decided to swagger and follow the Emerald Bird to find Mu Wan'er.

In the study, Ye Ran looked at the red brocade sachet on the table with clear and cold eyes, his silent eyes flashed with a cold light, his expression was calm, and he stared for a while before he picked up the teacup and took a sip of strong tea.

Jin Song dealt with He Long's affairs, and came to the study to report to Ye Ran Che, seeing Ye Ran Che staring at the sachet of the county lord of Xining, he was stunned at first, and then corrected his voice and replied.

"Your Highness, the medicinal effect of the Soul Attracting Qiluo Incense can last for four hours, if the medicinal effect disappears, He Long will fall into a coma, listening to the girl in red, he is estimated to be sleeping for a few days. If he were to be forcibly awakened, his memory would be damaged. ”

Ye Ran Che put down the teacup, looked at the flowers embroidered on the sachet again, thought for a while, picked up the sachet and sniffed it, the corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly, and said in a light and indifferent voice.

"Murong Li's people went to see He Long?"

"Yes, Murong Li went to see He Long in person, and after asking him a few words, he stayed inside for a while and then came out, and then let the people of Dali Temple look at him for a long time, and he didn't use torture."

Jin Song was still shocked, he didn't expect that the incense of the woman in red would be so distracted, and he quietly let He Long be tricked, controlled his consciousness, and forced him to take the initiative to tell the truth, of course, there were a few words they added.

Soul Attracting Qiluo is not toxic, it will only make people insane, and it is used for hypnosis, but the consciousness is awake, and there is no doubt about normal people, and it will not arouse suspicion. It's just that he only has a few words in his head.

The fragrance is also very faint, and ordinary people will never smell it, anyway, he didn't smell it. And this aroma is gradually dissipated, once the medicinal effect has passed, there is nothing, no trace will be left, seamless, there is no flaw.

"Four hours, that's enough." Ye Ran said in a clear and cold tone, "Since Murong Li has gone to see He Long, the matter should also come to an end. After all, compared to the ambitious King Ding'an, he wouldn't care about Lin Xuan, who was no longer a threat. ”

The corners of Jin Song's eyebrows furrowed, a little surprised, "But, Murong Li would let Master Lin go like this, and he would go to Night City empty-handed?" This is not like the nature of his Lord Yama, and King Ding'an is also a ruthless character. ”

"I heard that King Li gave his father a white tiger, and the white tiger is still a spirit tiger that is rare to see in a thousand years, and this spirit tiger is from Bian Cheng?"

Jin Song was stunned at first when he heard Ye Zhan Che's cold voice, then looked at Ye Zhan Che uneasily, paused for a while and said, "Yes, it seems to be the last two days." I heard that it was King Li who personally went to Bian Cheng to catch the white tiger. After His Majesty got it, he was very happy and rewarded King Li with a lot of things.

After the news of Lord Kelin reached His Majesty's ears, His Majesty was very angry and wanted to execute the White Tiger, but the White Tiger was a spiritual creature and it was unlucky to kill him. His Majesty rewarded the White Tiger to the Lord of Moying County. Later, King Li knelt in the imperial study for several hours, but His Majesty did not see him, and directly issued a holy decree, confined King Li for two months, and even Concubine Li was also under house arrest, and Concubine Li's mother's family was also implicated. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Song's mouth opened slightly, guessing the connection, he was shocked, his hands were clenched, and he thought in his heart, King Li is really despicable, but His Majesty really trusts Murong Li too much!

King Li got a white tiger to go to the palace, obviously against the queen, and more importantly, against His Royal Highness the Prince. Everyone knows that the queen mother is extremely afraid of the tiger, and it was the spirit tiger that attacked the queen back then, and the queen mother had a difficult birth, and it took nine deaths to give birth to His Royal Highness the Prince.

However, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born, rumors spread that the Queen Mother would be attacked by the Spirit Tiger, which was a warning from heaven, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a bad omen and should be sent away and should not stay in Night City.

The spirit tiger is the emperor's favorite object, in order to save the queen's mother, it was hacked to death by the queen's brother, for which the emperor is also very displeased. At that time, I heard the ministers say this, and I also wanted to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away. After all, he was really a prince at that time, and he didn't want to affect his status because of this incident.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother's mother, the emperor resisted the rumors and took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with him to raise him, and it is estimated that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now doesn't know where he is.

If it weren't for the talent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the ministers would not have accepted him as the crown prince. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been extremely famous for so many years, the matter of the White Tiger has always left hidden dangers in the ministers, and the emperor has been cold to His Royal Highness in recent years, and no one can guarantee that the future throne will be dyed at night.

As soon as Jin Song thought of this, he felt very distressed about Ye Zhanche, and he also despised King Li's despicable methods. However, he can be regarded as having reaped the consequences of his own evil, and he even thought of cooperating with King Ding'an, everyone knows that King Ding'an cannot be tolerated in His Majesty's eyes.

Compared to King Ding'an, who holds military power, what is the declining Shu family?

It's a pity that King Li didn't understand this point, and went to Bian Cheng at this juncture. However, when His Majesty heard Murong Li's words, there was no evidence, so he didn't care about the relationship between father and son, and disposed of King Li, so he trusted Murong Li so much?

"Your Highness, Lord Lin's matter is over, so are we going to prepare to go back to Night City?"

"I'm going to stay here for two more days."

Jin Song was slightly stunned, "Your Highness wants to see Lord Lin?" ”

"He's the one who came to see Hongu."

Ye Ran Che looked at the pear blossoms floating in from the window, the corners of his cold eyebrows twitched slightly, the corners of his lips hooked a faint arc, put away the sachet, got up and walked out.

Jin Song was stunned for a moment, then thought of something at random, and followed behind Ye Zhanche with a somewhat strange expression.

Nan Xinuo followed the emerald bird to the backyard, saw it stopped in a room, frowned slightly, walked up to take a look, and found that there seemed to be movement around, and motioned for Qiu Lu to hide first.

Listen carefully and find that there are hidden guards around. Nan Xinuo frowned, a little unable to understand the purpose of Ye Dye Che. But thinking that the hidden guard will appear here, it means that Mu Wan'er and Qiu Lu must be here.

Nan Xinuo hid behind the tree, thought about it carefully, and decided to go in and take a look, even if he was caught by Ye Zhanche, wouldn't Yun Shizi still be there?

After making up her mind, Nan Xinuo cautiously walked into the house, and heard a familiar voice at the door, she raised her eyebrows and chuckled, pushed the door and went in, and as soon as she saw the two people sitting at the table, she immediately closed the door with her backhand.

"Xiao Lu!" Qiulan saw that her sister was safe and sound, she burst into tears, and if someone hadn't been there, she would have cried excitedly.

"County Lord, sister, why are you really here?"

When Qiu Lu saw the people who came in, she was first overjoyed, and hurriedly walked over to hug Qiu Lan, but suddenly thought of something, let go of Qiu Lan, and looked at Nan Xinuo full of sorrow and worry.

Nan Xinuo looked at Mu Wan'er, who was dressed in red, and saw her sitting on a stool drinking tea with a calm expression, but the tea spilled on the table had already exposed the panic in her heart.

Thinking that she had also helped herself a lot, Nan Xinuo didn't care about the previous grievances, glanced at them, and confirmed that they were not injured, before asking, "What do you mean that we are really here?" Did you know we were coming? ”

Mu Wan'er saw that Nan Xinuo's eyes were as cold and arrogant as always, and there was no disgust in the slightest, and she was a little relieved in her heart, thinking that she still didn't want to see her.

Thankfully, she didn't hate me very much, though.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted me to make Soul Attracting Qiluo incense, I originally thought that as long as I helped him mix this incense, he would let us go, but when he came to see us today, he didn't mean to let us go at all. So I guess, perhaps, he just wants to bring you here. ”
