Chapter 277: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
The matter of the crown prince being bewitched was not trivial, the emperor sent a large number of people to investigate the matter, and Ye Shuyun also tried his best to cooperate, but the result was in vain.
"Continuing to investigate like this will only waste time, energy, and delay the prince's condition."
Ye Shuyun was sitting in the room, Wu Su drank tea indifferently in front of her, and asked, "You made this tea?"
Ye Shuyun nodded, "Yes." What's wrong? β
"It's well cooked, much better than the maids in the palace."
"......" The corners of Ye Shuyun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't tell whether he was praising her or what.
She tilted her head, not trying to ignore him.
Wu Su played with tea, saw her appearance, and smiled, "Miss Ye is angry?" β
Ye Shuyun ignored him.
"Well, it looks like I'm really angry."
Ye Shuyun glanced at him, but still didn't speak.
Wu Su tapped his fingers on the table and said indifferently: "If I have a way to help the girl find the murderer, can the girl be angry?"
Ye Shuyun was a little loose, and turned his head to look at him, "What can you do?" β
Wusu didn't go around the bend with her, and said bluntly: "Since you can't find the murderer, why don't you want to let the murderer come to you?"
Ye Shuyun suddenly realized, got up, and wanted to go to the emperor to tell him this idea, but he came back after walking halfway.
She glanced at him suspiciously, "You're really big-hearted." β
"What do you mean?" Usu looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Ye Shuyun stood up straight, clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Anyway, it's the current prince who robbed you of your status as a prince, and you can repay your grievances with virtue and help him find the murderer to save his life, isn't this broad-minded?" β
The smile on Wu Su's face became even stronger, "My crown prince was taken away, it was my father's idea, not the emperor's brother's desire, and you see, if he gets the crown prince, what will happen to him?" On the contrary, it's me, after the crown prince was taken away, my illness has improved a lot, at least I won't have to worry about my life, I should be happy, right? β
After he said this, Ye Shuyun felt that it was also the same that the position of the prince of Dongwu Kingdom was like being cursed, and whoever was on it was unlucky.
Ye Shuyun glanced at him deeply, chuckled, and turned to leave.
This is in the palace of the Eastern Uzbekistan.
Ye Shuyun met with the monarch of the Eastern Wu Kingdom and told him the idea of luring the snake out of the hole.
When the emperor heard this, he agreed with her.
"That's fine, it's just that you have to work hard for Young Master Ye and be careful of their pursuit. I will send some people to listen to you, Ye Gongzi can use it with confidence. β
"Your Majesty."
After Ye Shuyun left, he took a team of secret guards with him, all of whom were in the dark, so they didn't look like her.
In the past two days, Dongwu has been immersed in the matter of the prince's poisoning, which has made people panic, and it didn't take long for news to spread that His Royal Highness the prince was saved.
It was Ye Shuyun, the son of Ye who found out the cause of the prince's illness, who saved people.
For a time, Ye Shuyun became famous.
When leaving the palace, Ye Shuyun went back in a soft sedan chair in the palace, and heard the shouts of the people along the way, his heart was so calm that there was no wave, and he closed his eyes in the sedan chair to recuperate.
Back at the inn, those secret guards were also hidden everywhere, Ye Shuyun didn't forget what she came to Dongwu for, so she didn't dare to be idle.
I put some poison powder and silver needles on my body for self-defense, and then went out.
Ye Shuyun had asked Wusu before, and the most important places in Eastern Wuguo to find out the news were not only teahouses and restaurants, but also the black market.
It's an underground trading place, it's only open at night, and it's a place where both sellers and buyers come from all over the world, so it's definitely the best place for sources.
Ye Shuyun waited outside until it was almost dark before starting to go to the black market.
She is still dressed in men's clothes, which is convenient for her actions.
She came relatively early, there are not many people on the black market, and the people on the black market are dressed strangely and dressed strangely, Ye Shuyun didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only wait and see while walking.
"This ...... Girl? β
Ye Shuyun had just walked past a stall when she was stopped by someone, her footsteps paused slightly, not sure if she was calling her, after all, she was wearing men's clothes, so she continued to walk forward.
Unexpectedly, this person spoke up again: "Girl, please stay!"
At this time, Ye Shuyun affirmed that he was calling himself.
So she turned around and looked at the man, with a slight doubt in her eyes.
The man saw that she had finally stopped, and turned to face him, and breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "Girl, you are walking too fast."
"What's the matter with you? And how do you tell I'm a girl? Ye Shuyun looked at this person and asked out loud.
This person directly skipped Ye Shuyun's first question, and replied instead: "The villain is just a small trader, and it doesn't matter anything - as for seeing that you are a girl...... It's just because the villain is a businessman, and he has traveled north and south for many years, and he has experienced a lot of people and things, so he recognized you as a girl. β
Ye Shuyun bowed his head lightly and asked him with his eyes if there was anything else.
I saw the little trader smile innocently: "What do you want to buy?"
These words were purely pretending to be confused, but Ye Shuyun didn't know what the other party wanted to do, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and only responded softly "yes".
"What does the girl want to buy? Maybe I can help you. Seeing that you don't seem to be a regular visitor to this market, you can also go around a little less if I help you. β
Ye Shuyun felt that what he said was also reasonable, but she still didn't know the origin of the other party, how could she casually reveal her whereabouts. Besides, in the black market, I am afraid that there will be no good business.
Thinking of this, her eyes fluttered, she smiled slightly, and said to the vendor, "No need."
When the merchant saw that she was really unwilling, he could not say anything more, so he watched her leave.
When Ye Shuyun walked away, the innocent smile on his face suddenly disappeared. At this time, a man dressed in Miaojiang-style clothes appeared behind him: "Master."
The "merchant" had a cold face, and commanded him in a deep voice: "It is definitely not easy for Ye Shuyun to appear here. Go down and find out why she's here. β
"Yes."
Hearing his subordinates' reply, he relieved his expression a little, looked at the direction Ye Shuyun left, squinted, thoughtful.
It is said that Ye Shuyun walked around the black market for a while, and he didn't find any particularly useful information. But because it's still early and there aren't too many people, she's not impatient, but she's walking slowly as if she's doing an ordinary shopping.
The sunset melts gold, and the twilight clouds merge. The sky changed from azure to orange-red. When the stars are twilight and the night is as cold as water, there are more and more people in the black market.
But everyone who came here was fierce, and they were full of anger.
So to a certain extent, Ye Shuyun's delicate and weak appearance is still quite eye-catching.
Ye Shuyun secretly said in his heart that he had made a mistake, and now it was a little difficult to do.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small stall selling masks on the side of the road, and before she had time to think about how there were still these things in the black market, she hurriedly went to buy one and put it on her face.
After putting on the mask, Ye Shuyun felt a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, she walked towards an auction house.
The auction hall was mixed, and people from all walks of life seemed to gather here. And one by one they all craned their necks and looked at the auction table, although they hadn't started yet, but those people were ready.
"Eh, did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"There is Miao Jiang's unique stunt tonight!"
"Miao Jiang's unique stunt? Isn't it just Gu? Could it be that they still want to use Gu to auction? The expression of the man who spoke suddenly became frightened, but then there was a hint of excitement: "I heard that thing is very powerful, and a person who has worms in his body can have all kinds of diseases."
"Tsk, beautiful you. Also auction Gu? Gu Ke is the most important in Miao Jiang, how can he take it out for auction. β
"What's that?"
"You don't know one thing, you don't know the other. Hehe, I heard that it's the kind of person who fell for the Gu. β
"What does the auctioneer do? Does this do any good? β
"Hey, I'll tell you. Do you think, although Miao Jiang doesn't auction Gu directly, isn't it good to auction the person who won the Gu? As long as we can use that person to find a way to do it, wouldn't that mean anything? β
"That's too heavy-"
The person who said this received the contempt from the people around him, what kind of good people can go to the black market, and what kind of little white lotus is here.
The man coughed, "Ahem, I'll talk, talk." β
Hearing their conversation, Ye Shuyun's face behind the mask couldn't help but smile. It didn't take much effort to get it.
As time passed, the auction room became more crowded, the voices became louder, and the environment became noisy.
At this time, a "quiet" earthquake full of internal force shook everyone here as quiet as chickens.
After the audience was silent, the voice sounded again, and there was a hint of satisfaction in it: "Now, the auction has officially begun."
Hearing this, Ye Shuyun and the others all set their eyes on the auction table.
But after a long time, Ye Shuyun still didn't see the one she wanted to see, the legendary "person who fell for Miao Jiang's Gu".
Just when she wondered if the news was true or not, the last auction item came up - it was a person.
When Ye Shuyun saw this person appear, she knew that she was worth the trip today.
Sure enough, this person was caught by Gu.
Before everyone bid, the person who was about the host on the stage smiled mysteriously and said, "I think everyone has heard of itβthis is the finale of our auctionβthe person who won Miao Jianggu."
"Don't rush to bid. For the sake of conscience, we will let you take a look at the state of the Gu queen at the auction. β
As soon as the host's voice fell, the Gu person on the stage began to twitch wildly, looking very painful.
When Ye Shuyun saw this, he found that the Gu poison in this person was not the same as the Gu poison in the prince. The state of onset is also different.
The prince's Gu poison was definitely not done by Miao Jiang. Ye Shuyun thought to himself.
