Chapter 19: Suspicion, False Alarm 1
After lunch, Long Xuanyu excused himself that there was an urgent matter in the palace, so he left the Yan Mansion with Yan Xin'er. Although she left in a hurry, she also earned enough face for Yan Xin'er.
In the magnificent sunset, Yan Xin'er's small figure lay leisurely on a hammock woven by green vines. This is a masterpiece that she spent an afternoon and with the help of Yinniang.
The hammock hangs at the water-pavilion covered bridge outside Shuiyue Xuan, below which is the calm mirror-like blue lake, and next to it is the covered bridge railing. There is a tray on the bar, which is Yan Xin'er's favorite melon and grapes.
The breeze blew, and the mirror-like lake surface lifted the wisps of folds, and Xin'er's satin-like hair and the skirt on her body also moved, which was very cool and comfortable.
The hammock shook occasionally, and Yan Xin'er picked up a grape or a piece of honeydew melon and stuffed it in her mouth with one of her small hands. She held a thick book in her hand and flipped through it intently.
She knew that as long as Long Xuanyu investigated the poisoning and death of his previous princess, Yan Ningxin, she would naturally think of her personal maid Bicui at that time. Bicui is in the hands of Long Xuanyu, and the truth of the facts will soon have a result. Since this is the case, it seems that she only needs to wait here, waiting to see how the Dragon Xuan Imperial Council will deal with the two culprits of Bicui and Yan Yufang.
glanced at the covered bridge on the blue lake, but saw Long Xuan's cold and cold figure walking towards this side. He had a cold handsome face, and his deep eyes looked at her through the magnificent glow. Something seems wrong with this?
He stretched his waist for a long time, turned over slightly, and his soft arms supported his head, squinting at Long Xuanyu, who was getting closer and closer.
"What's the matter, looking at me like that?" With an innocent and harmless smile, he stuffed a piece of honeydew melon into his mouth. She's different, and it's not the first day he's seen it.
Long Xuan glanced at the thick book in her hand, on which were written the words "Imperial Fragrance Classics". It was a book in his study, which was originally handed down from the Imperial Palace Incense Factory. Maybe it's because it's been too old, and the incense-making method above is no longer recognized, but it's more because few people can really understand it. Simply, he brought it to the palace!
"Can you read all the words on it?" In a cold tone, he said casually. Don't look at her careful and serious appearance just now, it's just a show for him.
Yan Xin'er closed the book, twisted a grape again and put it into her pink little mouth, and chirped: "Look at your appearance, aren't you here to care if I can read and understand this book?" You should ...... now" It should be found out that Bicui and Yan Yufang poisoned her previous life Yan Ningxin, and he should order Bicui and Yan Yufang to be dealt with.
"Pyroida is missing!" Long Xuanyu interrupted her, "This king wants to know, why does Bicui order incense in this king's study?" How do you know that your sister died of poisoning? Bicui is your sister's personal maid, and now she is also the maid who enters the palace with you! Your sister is dead, and she's missing now! ”
Missing?! The palace is heavily guarded, how can it be missing? If it weren't for the permission of the royal prince, no one would be able to enter at will, and no one would be able to go out at will!
Long Xuanyu, did he really want to find out the cause of Yan Ningxin's death, that is, the reason why she was poisoned in her previous life. It's clearly a very simple question, but it's so complicated! Bicui is a maid, and she will disappear when she is imprisoned by his royal prince?
He asked her why? Asked her why she knew that Yan Ningxin was poisoned and died? Was he tempting, or was he really questioning?
"Long Xuanyu, my sister is your Lan'er? Do you really love her? Deliberately asked. Even if she decided that she couldn't be the Lan'er he knew in her previous life, now she had to let Long Xuanyu recognize it! Only in this way will he owe her and his Lan'er, and he will take her death in her previous life seriously.
Long Xuanyu had never seen Yan Ningxin, so naturally he would not think that Yan Ningxin was the Lan'er he was looking for. Perhaps, it is not impossible for him to instruct Yan Yufang and Bicui to poison the princess he doesn't want to marry for the sake of his Lan'er!
"Tell this king, do you know why Bicui did that?" Not knowing whether to avoid it or whether there was no need to answer, he continued to ask.
Yan Xin'er's heart sank, and she opened the book in her hand again: "Isn't there still two days left for this question?" The more anxious he was, the less anxious she was. Anyway, the questions have to be solved little by little, and the truth has to be revealed little by little. Even if he Long Xuanyu can pretend and act again, she will have to peel off the mask on his face!
Looking at Yan Xin'er who was so indifferent, Long Xuanyu was a little helpless: "Okay, this king doesn't ask you this question!" Didn't we say okay, three questions, this king will ask you three now! ”
"Hmm." The little head tapped, and a grape seed spat on the surface of the mirror-like lake, causing a faint ripple, "You have to think about it before asking!" ”
Long Xuanyu moved closer to Yan Xin'er, his deep black eyes staring at her long eyelashes like butterfly wings: "How do you know that your sister died of poisoning?" ”
Sure enough, it was the most critical and direct question, but it was a question that Yan Xin'er couldn't answer at all.
raised his little face to look at Long Xuanyu's cold and handsome face that was close at hand, smiled brightly, and said in a weird voice: "Naturally, my sister told me, she gave me a dream, saying that she died so miserably!" It was you who killed her with Yan Yufang! ”
There was a black line on Long Xuanyu's forehead, and he couldn't find the slightest softness on his cold face when he was in Yan's Mansion in the morning. This little thing will fool him with nonsense! However, she is a little girl, and there is really no reason to know. Perhaps, Yan Ningxin's poisoning and death was really just her cranky thinking and just happened to be right.
"That's not the answer at all, it doesn't count!"
"So what's going to be?" Blinking his big watery eyes, a piece of honeydew melon was stuffed in his mouth, "But that's the answer."
"The answer should be logical, reasonable, and credible!" Long Xuanyu explained word by word, for fear that she would not understand.
Yan Xin'er rolled her eyes: "Then change the question!" ”
"The two secret guards in Shuiyue Xuan, what did you do to them? How can they stun them in different places, not indoors? Reaching out, he snatched the book that Xin'er was reading in her hand.
"Misty incense, naturally it is miscellaneous!" got up, sat on the hammock, and shook it slightly, "I just asked Yin Niang to bring the remaining incense in your study!" Since that misty incense can make the prince who goes to look for you stunned instantly, it can naturally also make the secret guard hiding in the shadows instantly stunned. I just need to let Yinniang leave first, and then don't let myself inhale the incense. But what's interesting is that they are all dizzy, and they don't forget to stick to their posts, and still stay there in their original position! Hehe......" Speaking of this, Xin'er couldn't help but chuckle.
The fragrance is the fragrance used by Bicui!
"Then why would Chief Xue listen to the dispatch of your little girl, the things in that carriage are not a small amount!"
"Hehe......" Yan Xin'er smiled even more happily, shook the hammock again, and carelessly took out a token from her arms and threw it to Long Xuanyu, "This is the token you landed in the attic bedroom yesterday, the royal prince, how could Chief Xue not listen to it?" What's more, I'm a princess, not a little girl! ”
Long Xuanyu took the token, and immediately remembered the moment she snatched the scroll from him yesterday. She not only snatched the scroll from his hand, but also the token from him. The token was not dropped by him at all, but she took it intentionally. She was dragged to Yan's Mansion early this morning, and she never found that the token was lost.
"......" Long Xuanyu wanted to ask again.
"The three questions have been answered, Long Xuanyu, our transaction for today is over!" Yan Xin'er took the lead.
Three? Obviously only two were answered!
"I just said it, and the first one doesn't count as an answer!"
"I have answered your question at noon today, my sister is your Lan'er, and that painting is used as a basis. Doesn't it count? Yan Xin'er sat in the hammock, her little legs swaying back and forth, and the hammock was constantly shaking.
"You ......" Long Xuanyu was really speechless, and his cold handsome face no longer knew what expression to make suitable for his angry but helpless mood at the moment. He wanted to question again, but suddenly heard a "snap", one end of the hammock actually broke, and Yan Xin'er's small body fell directly to the lake below......
