Chapter 314: The Princess and the Portrait
Mu Bai shook his head.
The man only slashed him once and left quickly, Mu Bai got up and went in to check on Prince Huan's head, but there was nothing left in the ice water where Prince Huan's head should have been placed, and only a bad smell was left in the room.
It seems that this person is going for the head of Prince Huan.
Whose people will it be?
After bandaging it, Gu Jinxi looked at Mu Bai's wound, pointed at Mu Han and said to Qingrui, "You bandage Mu Han with an identical one, and you are smearing some blood." ”
"Huh? Why? Qing Rui was surprised.
The people in the Shengguo court should only know that he has a personal guard who is Mu Bai, after all, no matter what he does, Gu Jinxi takes Mu Bai out, even if he takes Mu Han one day, everyone will still think it is Mu Bai, so Mu Han's identity is transparent.
There is a person who is completely transparent and can be well hidden, and many things will be very convenient, at this time Mu Bai is injured, if the person who used the knife goes back to return to his master, then the next time he sees Mu Han, he finds that he is not bandaged and has no wounds, and he will find that Mu Bai and Mu Han are actually two people.
Therefore, Gu Jinxi asked Qingrui to help Mu Han bandage it, just to create the illusion that Mu Han is Mu Bai, so that no one can find out that these are the two brothers.
Mu Han didn't say anything, sat opposite Qingrui instead of Mu Bai, and stretched out his hand to let her bandage.
"I always feel that this matter is inseparable from Prime Minister Xie Liunian, he holds the handle of the emperor and the prince in his hands, naturally he wants to know where the prince is, and it is understandable that he will do it." Ruan Cailing said.
Ruan Xuchen touched his chin, "I also think it's the prime minister." He glanced at Chen Heng and instructed, "General Ming will come in a while, you remember to tell General Ming about this." ”
"Okay."
Now that Prince Huan's head has fallen into the hands of someone else, I don't know what that person will do with Prince Huan's head, their plan has been more disrupted, and now they need to recustomize the plan.
"Originally, Chen Heng was not prepared to hide the fact that he killed the crown prince, even if he entered the palace, he could admit that he killed the prince, in fact, this person's head is gone, but there is nothing." Ruan Xuchen said.
Gu Jinxi said, "That person knew that the prince was dead from the beginning, and he had been paying attention to our situation, so he must have known that the prince only had one head left, and this matter ......."
Buckle buckle clasp.
Before Gu Jinxi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door behind him, Su Wanyue, who was closest to the door, got up to open the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Wen Su, he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Wanyue, and then crossed Su Bangyue's shoulder to see the people behind him.
Naturally, I also saw Qingrui helping Mu Han with medicine.
Wen Su's expression did not change and said, "General Ming is here with the princess, do you want to see the princess in the room or in the secret room?" ”
No matter which city it is, all Yanhualou has a secret room, and originally Yanhualou did business to hide the power laid by Ruan Xuchen, so the secret room is necessary.
Ruan Xuchen was just about to say that he was going to the secret room, Ruan Cailing interrupted him with a raised hand, she thought for a moment, and said to Chen Heng, "Do you sisters and brothers mind if someone listens?" ”
"Huh? What do you mean? Chen Heng asked puzzled.
Ruan Cailing hooked her lips and smiled, she turned sideways and said to Wen Su, "Just see General Ming and the princess in Chen Heng's room." ”
Wen Su nodded and went down to prepare.
"Why don't you go to the Chamber of Secrets?" Ruan Xuchen asked.
"The masters appear one after another, even if they enter the secret room, they can naturally analyze who is Chen Heng by who is not in the room, so it is better to simply be in Chen Heng's room, as long as it is not just one person who enters." Ruan Cailing raised her eyebrows at Cangxi beside Su Bangyue.
Among their group of people, the identities of Ruan Xuchen and Gu Jinxi can be corresponded, after all, the two sons of the Chang Dynasty know it all over the world.
And Cangxi is a secret identity, and his prince's identity has not been made public, so no one will know Cangxi's true identity, as well as Mu Bai and Mu Han.
Ruan Cailing arranged for Cangxi and Mu Han to enter Chen Heng's room together, and the three of them met General Ming and the princess together.
The few people who stayed in the room were silent for a while, and they seemed a little panicked when the plan was suddenly disrupted, but for Ruan Cailing, the plan can always have the next one, and it doesn't matter if one is broken, the important thing is to find out the truth.
Qingrui went down to work again, and the injured Mu Bai couldn't run around, so he could only stay in the room and not be found yet.
"If it's Xie Liunian, then what is his purpose? This old prime minister has contributed to Sheng Guo all his life, and Sheng Guo has not treated him badly, no matter whether the emperor does not dare to touch him or does not want to touch him, no matter what, he is enough. Ruan Xuchen said.
Ruan Cailing rubbed the back of her right hand with her left hand, the burned place was almost good at this time, it was just numb to the touch, and there was no special pain, Ruan Cailing said thoughtfully, "The prince is dead, and it is a secret to pinch it in Xie Liunian's hands, but I think that Xie Liunian's ambition is more than that, does Xie Liunian have children?" ”
At Xie Liunian's age, if he had children, he would be thirty or forty years old, and it is estimated that he would even have grandchildren.
This requires news from Tianji Pavilion, Gu Jinxi ordered someone to go down to investigate, but before getting a reply, he received a letter from the palace.
It was still written by Mu Yizuo.
Mu Yifei was worried about Mu Yizuo's situation, so he took the lead in opening the letter and looked at it, and was relieved to see Mu Yizuo saying that he was fine.
The things mentioned in the letter are not very important, most of them are about the former harem and the three side concubines of Mu Yizuo's middle palace.
Gu Jinxi spread the portrait Mu Yizuo gave him on the table, "Since General Ming is here, let General Ming help find someone, don't come a hundred times." ”
“…… You're really good at taking advantage of people. ”
The situation in the capital is okay, but what makes people still feel at ease is Li Chuqing, who doesn't know where to flee, this person is alive and hidden in the end of the city, and he is still their henchman.
Although Gu Jinxi had already arranged for someone to thoroughly investigate Li Chuqing's whereabouts, they didn't get any response until they set off.
"I want Poly Chuqing's life." Ruan Cailing said.
Gu Jinxi glanced at Ruan Cailing beside her, from the very beginning, Ruan Cailing's attitude towards Li Chuqing was very different, generally speaking, the people who were against them had only one dead word, no exceptions, but only this Li Chuqing, Ruan Cailing said several times that she wanted to let her go.
even mentioned to Mu Yizuo that if Li Chuqing was willing, he could let Li Chuqing live safely as an orphan of the Li family, showing the generosity of the royal family.
This is not a difficult task for Mu Yizuo.
But Gu Jinxi just didn't understand why Ruan Cailing had such a good impression of Li Chuqing.
Bumping into Gu Jinxi's gaze, Ruan Cailing knew that Gu Jinxi wondered why she was so indulgent to Li Chuqing, Ruan Cailing reached out and grabbed Gu Jinxi's fingertips, and said lightly, "There are so many affectionate and righteous women in the world, but how many people are really willing to pay when they endanger their lives?" ”
She couldn't see anyone willing to give up their own life really fall.
"That's it, even if you want to let Li Chuqing go, it is estimated that she will find death herself, and it is best for her to hide it for the rest of her life if she doesn't look for trouble."
From morning to dark, there was no movement in Chen Heng's room, lunch and dinner were personally sent in by Wen Su, and some of the snacks made by Qingrui were also sent into the room, but after Qingrui came out, there was something wrong with his expression.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Cailing looked at Qingrui in a daze, almost poured the water in the teapot outside, and quickly pulled her, and the portraits on the table were almost wet.
Coming back to her senses, Qing Rui glanced at the portrait on the table again, and then said, "I just saw that princess...... How do I feel ......"
"What do you think?"
Qingrui said, "Why do I feel the same as this portrait of the son? Even the pearl on the forehead is the same. ”
"What?" Ruan Cailing asked in surprise.
Even the teacup in Gu Jinxi's hand was crooked, Gu Jinxi raised his eyebrows, glanced at the portrait on the table, looked at Qingrui and asked, "Do you see clearly?" ”
Fang Cai Qingrui went in to put snacks, and said a few words to the princess, Qingrui saw it clearly, she nodded and said, "I can see it clearly!" The princess is so gentle, she speaks softly, and she looks beautiful, so I naturally looked at it a few more times, and then I realized that the princess was similar to the girl in this portrait. ”
That's puzzling.
Ruan Xuchen took a deep breath, "Then according to your meaning, the woman in the portrait is a princess?" But why did Mu Yizuo see the princess of Sheng Guo on the streets of the Chang Dynasty? ”
Mu Yifei said casually, "The day we got married, let alone Shengguo, even the Western Regions came to many envoys and civilians, it is normal to meet anyone, coincidentally, the princess actually happened to let my third brother see it." ”
Ruan Cailing was speechless, in the face of this so-called coincidence, she really didn't know what to say.
"Let's talk about it when the princess and General Ming come out in a while, she always has to say goodbye to us, and we'll know when the time comes." Gu Jinxi said.
This princess did not have a high status in the palace, but her reputation among the people was very high, and it is said that the princess often sold her jewelry and opened a charity hall and a nursery hall among the people.
She is a very kind princess.
At first, the emperor felt that the princess had no effect, after all, she couldn't go to the front line to fight, and she couldn't give advice in the study, so he wanted to find a random place to marry, but fortunately, General Ariake suppressed it, so it was stabilized, and the emperor didn't let the emperor marry the princess easily.
Otherwise, Chen Heng would definitely not be able to see the princess at this time.
"Be quiet." Gu Jinxi suddenly shushed.
Ruan Cailing was immediately silenced.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yifei asked in a low voice in Ruan Xuchen's ear.
Mu Bai clenched his sword tightly with his uninjured hand, and Qing Rui, who was sitting next to him, also became nervous.
