Chapter 176: Old Lover
"Your Royal Highness Wan'an, Crown Princess Wan'an." Ran Jin was dressed in a brocade shirt and a light shirt, thin and transparent, with a bit of fluttering fairy taste. And because of its outstanding mana, but it is about twenty, it is already the stage of the Fazun, so it is even more unconventional and has its own immortal spirit.
"No courtesy." Dongfang Hao stood up, walked in front of Ran Jin in person, and helped Ran Jin up.
Ran Jin staggered slightly, walked in front of Qu Da, and bowed to Qu Da: "Father." ”
"Yes." Quda nodded. "Did you really catch the Assassin?"
"Yes. Just outside the temple. ”
Dongfang Hao gave people a look, and then someone escorted the people who were tied up by Wuhua outside the hall in.
The rope that bound it shone slightly, presumably some kind of magic weapon. The tied person has clear eyebrows, a little tenderness in his eyes, but a little ruthless. Judging by the way he walked, and the thick calluses on his hands, he should also be a mage, otherwise he would not be bound by special ropes.
"Get on your knees!" The guards slammed him to his knees.
Ran Jin said: "This person's surname is Yin, his name is Yin Wenyuan, and he is a good friend of his husband. ”
"Yin?" Dongfang Hao was slightly puzzled.
The Yin family ranks third among the four major mage families.
Ran Jin said: "Yin Wenyuan is the concubine of the Yin family, and he is not very respected in the Yin family. But he has been friends with his husband since he was a child, and he often comes to Qu's house to learn spells with his husband. ”
Qu Da glared at Yin Wenyuan: "Why are you in the palace!" ”
Yin Wenyuan lowered his head and didn't speak, his fists clenched.
"Speak!" Qu Da suddenly threw out a whip in the air, directly strangled Yin Wenyuan's neck, forcing Yin Wenyuan to raise his head.
Yin Wenyuan's eyes were red, and his lips were bitten white.
His neck was bloodied, but he still didn't speak.
Dongfang Hao sighed: "That's it, hand it over to the Criminal Department for interrogation." ”
Ran Jin said: "Your Highness, the concubine heard that there is a secret method that can forge the same death as the Guiyi Sword. As for this secret method, only those close to her husband who have been with her all year round know it. ”
This sentence projected everyone's eyes on Yin Wenyuan again.
Yin Wenyuan's pupils suddenly dilated, and his mouth was babbling to speak, but he retched because his neck was strangled.
Qu Da let go of Yin Wenyuan, Yin Wenyuan coughed a few times, and hurriedly defended: "Your Highness Mingjian, Xiaodao is not an assassin!" ”
"What is the secret method that the county lord said?" Dongfang Hao then asked.
Yin Wenyuan kowtowed: "Xiaodao doesn't know what secret method is." The trail came to the palace because, because of ......"
"Because of what?"
"Because...... Because I miss my lover. ”
"Bold!" Quda couldn't help but shout angrily. What kind of place is the palace, how can there be Yin Wenyuan's lover.
Yin Wenyuan obviously didn't want to mention this matter, so he was angry and lowered his head again.
Dongfang Hao didn't care about the purpose of his coming to the palace, he asked again: "What is the secret method?" ”
Yin Wenyuan said in a low voice: "Xiaodao really doesn't know. ”
"Take it to the Criminal Department and interrogate it well!" Dongfang Hao was very angry.
Someone immediately took Yin Wenyuan down.
Dongfang Hao turned his head to Qu Da and said, "Regardless of whether this secret method is true or not, in short, this matter must be inseparable from Qu Anyi." Lord Qu has been looking for Qu Anyi for three years, but he has not found it so far. This palace will help Lord Qu. ”
After that, he asked someone to put pen and ink on the table, wrote a letter, and asked someone to send it to the criminal department. Before the letter was sent away, Qu Da was deliberately given a look. Quda's complexion instantly became even more ugly.
Ran Jin endured and endured, but finally didn't ask.
Dongfang Hao said again: "In addition, the Guiyi Sword can't be placed in the Qu family." In case something happens again one day, the Qu family can't prove their innocence. In this way, Lord Qu, the palace sent someone to the Qu family to take the Guiyi sword to the palace to place it temporarily. What do you think? ”
"Your Highness!" Quda fell straight to his knees, his beard blowing up.
Dongfang Hao walked back to his place and sat down: "Anyway, this thing hasn't happened, but it's just one more time." ”
Twelve years ago, the emperor asked the Qu family to take the Guiyi sword away from the Qu family and bring it to the emperor. Dongfang Hao's current behavior is not a precedent.
Qu Da was naturally a hundred unwilling, but Dongfang Hao had already made up his mind, and he had no intention of changing at all, and this time, there was really enough reason.
Quda thought for a while, kowtowed in agreement, and slowly withdrew.
Ran Jin was also about to leave, Dongfang Hao patted the table, picked up the chopsticks and said, "County Lord, I have breakfast here, and the County Lord is tired of catching assassins, why don't you stay and eat together?" ”
Ran Jin looked at the face of the crown princess, who was giving the prince vegetables, and she didn't raise her eyes.
Ran Jin directly refused: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." The concubine was indeed a little tired and wanted to go back and rest. ”
"What's the hurry?" Before the change, Li Che would definitely send Ran Jin back immediately, for fear that Ran Jin would be tired, and even more afraid that Ran Jin would be annoyed.
But today's Li Che is no longer the Li Che of the past.
"The palace has already sent out an invitation, and the county lord has refused once, could it be that he wants to refuse a second time?" Dongfang Hao hooked his finger at Qianling and motioned for Qianling to pour water for himself.
His eyes were always fixed on Ran Jin.
Ran Jin felt a slight difference in the prince's hand, but he couldn't say it.
"Concubine, thank you, Your Highness Chitose." Dongfang Hao had already said this, and Ran Jin naturally couldn't continue to refuse, so he took a seat.
Dongfang Hao patted the seat next to him very naturally and asked Qianling to sit down.
Ran Jin didn't expect Fang Yi to be so valued by the prince, so he couldn't help but look at Fang Yi twice.
The crown princess was a little angry: "Your Highness, Fang Yi and a palace maid, sitting next to His Highness, having breakfast with His Highness, is not in accordance with the rules." ”
"She's just serving Hongu." Dongfang Hao didn't want to say much about Qianling, so he hurriedly brought the topic to Ran Jin: "I don't know the county lord, where did I hear that there is a secret method that can create the same death as the Guiyi Sword?" ”
This secret method has never even been heard of by him.
Ran Jin replied: "The people of the Qu family know something. I am the daughter-in-law of the Qu family, so naturally I have heard of it. But what is the secret method, the concubines do not know. ”
"So, this secret method has always existed?"
"As it should be."
"So the person who claimed to have been killed by Guiyi Sword before, was he really killed by Guiyi Sword? Guiyi Sword, is it really that magical? ”
Ran Jin was stunned for a moment when he pinched his hand with chopsticks, and his expression was not sad or joyful: "The concubine can guarantee that the sword is indeed the first in the world." ”
"That's not what Hongu meant. By the way, are you still happy to stay at the palace? ”
"It's good." Ran Jin's tone was extremely indifferent.
"Really?" Dongfang Hao was very skeptical.
"Really." Ran Jin is very sure.
Dongfang Hao said: "If that's the case, why can't you sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
Ran Jin immediately understood what Dongfang Hao meant, and explained: "Last night, the concubine didn't catch Yin Wenyuan by mistake because she couldn't sleep. But before that, the concubine knew that Yin Wenyuan had an affair with the palace maid in the palace, and knew that Yin Wenyuan had entered the palace in the past two days, so she wanted to arrest him. ”
"Which palace did you have an affair with?"
"I don't know yet. Because last night, Yin Wenyuan didn't go to look for the palace maid, but came to the East Palace. I saw him come out of His Highness's temple, and I went after him. “
The crown princess Bucai's hand was slightly stunned, Ran Jin actually said such things in front of her, was it determined that the prince would not punish her?
Dongfang nodded, so far, last night's incident has probably been understood.
After breakfast, Dongfang Hao asked Ran Jin to be sent back, and Donglai came back to report, saying that the emperor would thoroughly investigate the assassination case and let the prince rest first, and the morning court for the past two days was exempted.
Dongfang Hao yawned and said that he didn't sleep well last night.
The crown princess served Dongfang Hao in a wide suit and made the bed.
Dongfang Hao sat on the bed, the crown princess waved her hand to let the others retreat, but Dongfang Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Fang Yi stays, and the others go out." The crown princess worked hard last night, so she should take a good rest. ”
