Chapter 346: Investigation
When he heard that something had happened, the prince was making Lin Qingwan happy in the palace. The emperor's death made him unrelieved, and he heard that Su Qing, whom he respected the most, poisoned and killed the emperor. Lin Qingwan saw the prince's painful look on his face, and couldn't bear to see him so sad, so she had to say with relief: "Although I don't like Su Qing's guy very much, he has always been a fair and upright person, and it doesn't look like he did such a bad thing as poisoning." ”
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Qingwan's words are very reasonable, there are other people who assassinated the emperor, and the purpose is to blame Su Qing. It was a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only poisoning the emperor, but also pulling the regent off his horse.
Thinking about it along this clue, there are few people who dare to do this, except for the civil and military officials, the most likely ones are a few princes. Because once the emperor dies, Su Qing, who supports the crown prince, will get off the horse again, and whether all the princes can sit on the dragon chair depends on their respective abilities.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a squeak, and the window was pushed open, and a cold wind swished through. Lin Qingwan couldn't help but shake her shoulders, the prince hurriedly held her in his arms, and saw that she was not shaking very much, so he looked at the window.
"My subordinates take the liberty of asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the crime." Leng Feng was wearing a tight-fitting black suit and was kneeling respectfully on the ground at the moment. In fact, every time he came so suddenly, the prince was used to his elusive way.
But Lin Qingwan was present today, and his sudden appearance like this was really a little unreasonable. The prince frowned and glanced at the cold wind a few times, but finally didn't say anything. There was an eerie silence in the room, and after a long time, the prince sighed and said, "It's okay, you came late at night, there must be something." But what does the prince command? ”
Hearing the prince's question, Leng Feng nodded, still not changing his respectful complexion, and continued in his usual cold tone: "Exactly. The prince said that today's banquet was not as simple as it seemed, and asked his subordinates and the rest of the shadows to come together to protect His Highness's safety. ”
"Hongu knows. You go back first and tell the prince that the palace will investigate, so don't worry. The prince frowned, and thought for a long time before replying to Leng Feng's words. After getting the answer he wanted, the cold wind did not linger for a long time, and after a salute, he left through the window.
Looking through the window, it was pitch black. The prince hugged Lin Qingwan tighter, and for some reason there was always a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. Maybe he is too careful, everything is undecided at the moment, just like Su Qing's instructions, it is always good to be careful.
On the other side, Xie Wanjun, who saw Puyang Haokun take Su Qing away, hid outside the regent palace and didn't dare to enter the mansion. The assassination of the emperor has been rumored to be rumored, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the whole world will know about it.
She believed that Su Qing was a person, and he must have been framed. Everyone knew that she and Gong Yue were Su Qing's dead end, so she couldn't act rashly in the future, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Su Qing.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xie Wanjun chose to take Gong Yue to the back mountain of the village and hide first. lest they be found, and then use their mother and son to threaten Su Qing. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Su Qing, so Xie Wanjun's departure this time was relatively smooth.
To Xie Wanjun's relief, Gong Yue didn't cry much along the way, and even made her laugh. Every bit of his changes were remembered by Xie Wanjun in his heart, after all, he was a mother and son who were somewhat related by blood, and the connection between them was no better than that of others.
In this way, the mother and son get along more easily. It's rare to have something to relax her mood, and Xie Wanjun won't be too tired. She hugged Gong Yue, and it didn't take long to reach the back mountain, and after thinking about it, she found a more secluded cave and hid.
On the other side, although Su Qing was detained by Puyang Haokun, because the prince had been obstructing him, the Criminal Department had not been able to interrogate Su Qing. After a few days of failure, Puyang Haokun realized that if he wanted to get rid of Su Qing, he had to trip the prince first.
I missed a step before, and now it is indeed difficult to win the prince. With Su Qing's support, at least half of the people in the court supported the crown prince. And some conservative old guys have been clamoring for the prince to register recently.
My brain hurt a little, and it happened that at this time, someone came to report that the prince was coming. Puyang Haokun couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, he really wanted to come to something. Thinking about it again, he really hadn't spoken to the prince for a long time, so he nodded and motioned for his subordinates to welcome Puyang Haoyue in.
"The emperor's brother is really leisurely, my father has just left, and he is so energetic, but it is not easy to toss the palace." As soon as she entered the hall, Puyang Haoyue saw Puyang Haokun sitting on the main seat drinking tea leisurely, and couldn't help but complain a little.
Puyang Haokun heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't pay much attention, and still drank his tea, until he tasted the fragrance of tea, then he reluctantly put down the tea cup in his hand, and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with an innocent face: "Where is the imperial brother?" The younger brother is stupid, and some of them don't understand well. ”
Until he pretended to be confused, Puyang Haoyue didn't break it, and sat down in a seat below him. The weather outside is nice, especially the warm sun, which makes people lazy and don't want to do anything.
"Alas, pity my brother, who came to see you with all his heart, but you only cared about your own enjoyment, and didn't even give me a cup of tea." Puyang Haoyue cocked Erlang's legs, looking a little cynical.
After hearing his words, Puyang Haokun just laughed and didn't take it too seriously. After taking another leisurely sip of tea, he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground. The tea was splashed everywhere, the water was a little hot, and the tea foam was still making its final struggle on the ground.
"What does that mean?" Puyang Haoyue narrowed her eyes, and there was a hint of anger in her tone. He naturally knew that this was done by Puyang Haokun on purpose, but he still had to pretend and let him sing the show.
Puyang Haokun smiled, got up and put his hands behind his back, and replied without being salty: "The tea is poisonous, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be used to drinking it." ”
The two of them knew each other, seeing that there was no room for discussion, Puyang Haoyue didn't plan to accompany him to grind, so he got up and left silently. At the moment, the two of them are fighting fiercely, and for a while, Su Qing should not be in much danger.
Today, he came to Puyang Haokun just to delay his time, so as to give Gu Changfeng enough time to rescue Su Qing. Presumably, he had just put all his energy into himself, and there should be no time to pay attention to Su Qing's situation.
Under the response of the cold wind, Su Qing and the prince met in secret. The moment she saw Su Qing, Puyang Haoyue couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect Gu Changfeng to do things so neatly, I knew that I would ask you to bring him back." ”
"He's my friend, not my property." It was rare that Su Qing would argue with someone other than Xie Wanjun, Puyang Haoyue couldn't help but want to snicker, but because of Su Qing's majesty, he had to pretend to be very serious.
has been with the prince for a long time, and he also knows that he must be holding back internal injuries at this moment, although Su Qing was speechless, he didn't say anything. After all, there are not many people around him who can rely on it, and the prince can be regarded as one of the few.
After being quiet for a while, Su Qing felt that this joke should also pass, so he changed the topic, changed his relaxed face, and said solemnly: "The emperor was poisoned, there must be a result, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
Hearing Su Qing pull up the topic, Puyang Haoyue put away the informality and put on a serious expression with him. He also knew in his heart that if the emperor was poisoned for a long time without results, the world would not be at peace for a day.
"But the price of exposing Puyang Haokun is a bit big, in case he tears his face, he still has ...... in his hands" Puyang Haoyue frowned, and when he spoke, there was a strong worry between his eyebrows.
Now this situation is neither advancing nor retreating, no matter how you go, it will not work. If you don't find a way to come out as soon as possible, the news of Su Qing's escape from prison will spread, and it may be rumored that he has absconded in fear of crime, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to clear up his grievances.
Su Qing was not in a hurry at all, Puyang Haoyue on the side was already sweating with anxiety, and he could still smile on the ground. It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Puyang Haoyue sees him like this, and he doesn't want to think about it at the moment, anyway, the person who is in trouble is not him, what is he anxious about.
Sure enough, after enduring it for a while, seeing that Puyang Haoyue had no intention of asking, Su Qing sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "There are countermeasures for this matter, but the timing must be accurate." He said as he stared at Puyang Haoyue with a determined gaze.
Being looked at by him like this, Puyang Haoyue didn't have any reason to believe his countermeasures. When he revealed the plan one by one, Puyang Haoyue almost couldn't help but hug him.
After agreeing on a specific plan, the two of them said goodbye and went home to make plans for the next step. Su Qing only returned to the house in the middle of the night, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Helan Yu'er wearing a red wedding dress.
Seeing that Su Qing was back, Helan Yu'er was overjoyed and went up to him, but strangely, Su Qing didn't push her away. But there were more surprises than doubts, and she didn't think too much about it, so she asked, "Why did you come back?" ”
Su Qing looked down at her, only to see that her eyes were already red and swollen from crying. He sighed, reached out and gave her a haircut, and then replied slowly, "I know you like me, even if I leave, I should take you with me." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you back to Xichu, they won't dare to do anything to you." Helan Yu'er's emotions were very excited, she grabbed Su Qing's hand with both hands, and was about to pull him out of the door.
