Chapter 186: Operation to Collect the Net
Bingyu and the others knew from Ling Ruoyi's face that things were not good, "Miss, is there something wrong in Beijing?" ”
Ling Ruoxuan looked at everyone, nodded slightly, and then slowly spoke, "King Xinjun, he died violently in prison. ”
"What? King Xinjun died violently? Feiying exclaimed incredibly, you know, the guards of the Shuntianfu prison are very strict, and Emperor Yuchen has not interrogated the king of Xinjun, he died violently in the prison, isn't this a big joke. Even if I think about it with my toes, I know that it must be the mastermind behind the scenes who is worried that he will shake things out, so he has come to kill people.
"Miss, isn't it all in vain that we've worked so hard?" Mengchun said indignantly.
"Yes, miss, do we have to continue collecting evidence?" Mu'er also chimed in.
It's really infuriating, in order to find out the behind-the-scenes instructions for the robbery of disaster relief grain and grass, the young lady runs around all day long, and has to act in front of outsiders, pretending to open a medical hall widely. But who would have thought that the most important witness would die violently.
"Stop for the time being, since the other party wants to find a substitute for the dead ghost, he must have already arranged the follow-up things, even if he finds any more evidence, but he is just sitting on the truth and believing the king of the county. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless. ”
"Miss, it was only a few days after King Narui came to our inn, and King Xinjun died violently, could it be ......" Bingyu did not continue to say, because, whether to say it or not, it is no longer necessary.
In front of the gate of King Qi's mansion, an ordinary carriage came slowly, stopped at the gate of King Qi's mansion, and the little guy guarding the door stepped forward and said to the coachman: "This old brother, this place is in front of King Qi's mansion, please don't stop here, or go forward and rest." ”
Without waiting for the coachman to answer, a white jade hand opened the curtain of the car, although Emperor Yuchen was wearing regular clothes, but the little maid in the Qi Wangfu was also very discerning, how could he not see that the identity of the person was noble. Then he stepped forward and arched his hand: "I don't know which distinguished guest it is, Rong Xiao went to report to the prince." ”
It is said that it is a report to the prince and not a housekeeper, and some of the high-ranking families in the capital are naturally recognized, but although the carriage that comes is simple, but the nobility of that person is not available to others, if it collides with his own life, do you want it.
Emperor Yuchen smiled and said: "I don't need to say my identity, you give this wrench to your prince, and he will know it at a glance." With that, he took off a mutton fat jade wrench from the thumb of his left hand and handed it to the little guy.
The little servant bowed and said, "Yes, please wait for the distinguished guest, and the slave will go." With that, he trotted around and entered sideways through the corner door. After about a cup of tea, the main gate of King Qi's mansion was opened, and King Qi walked out in a royal blue robe, walked to the carriage, and arched his hand: "Brother has seen the emperor." ”
"Hahaha, Yuqi, you don't have to be so polite with me." Then the curtain of the car was lifted again, and Emperor Yuchen stepped on the back of the little servant and walked down.
After taking a group of people into King Qi's mansion, King Qi took a group of people in the palace to kneel on the ground and shouted long live. Emperor Yuchen smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to flatten.
"Brother Wang, let's go to your study and talk." Immediately, Emperor Yuchen walked towards King Qi's study. He has been to this Qi Mansion a lot, when his father was alive, he was still King Chen, as soon as he had time, he would come to find King Qi to go out on horseback riding, it can be said that where the various courtyards of the Qi Palace, Emperor Yuchen can find it with his eyes closed.
The group came to the study, leaving only Uncle Zhong to serve inside, and arranged for Remnant Feng and others to guard outside, so others naturally would not know the content of the conversation inside.
"King Xinjun died violently in the prison, you already know." Emperor Yuchen said in an affirmative tone.
"Yes, Brother Emperor." King Qi arched his hand. The self-blame on his face, how could Emperor Yuchen not see it, but he didn't expect that someone would do anything in the Shuntianfu prison under the jurisdiction of King Qi.
"In this way, the other party has been monitoring our every move all the time." Emperor Yuchen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"What the imperial brother said is very true, the other party also prepared poison, purple defense vine, and several guards around the younger brother were all poisoned, but fortunately, Yi'er used the method of the Four Elephants Flying Needle to control the toxins in their bodies." If Emperor Yuchen knows that Emperor Yuchen's blood can solve the poison of the purple vine, then if someone is poisoned again, won't he drink up the blood of Xuan'er? Therefore, he can only say that Yi'er's acupuncture and moxibustion can control the spread of poison.
But how did King Qi know that Emperor Yuchen was also reluctant to Ling Ruoxuan. But because of his current identity, he can't call him by his name, but Princess Qi.
"Oh? The princess's acupuncture skills seem to have improved again, I don't know where they are now? ”
"Brother Huihuang, Yi'er and they opened a medical clinic in Yecheng, as a base to find out the news, and the evidence collected now can only accuse King Xinjun, originally Yi'er wanted to collect some more evidence, and then forced King Xinjun to say who was behind the scenes, but ......, they blamed the negligence of the younger brother and let people kill King Xinjun." After finishing speaking, King Qi knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and Uncle Zhong on the side also knelt down.
Emperor Yuchen helped King Qi with one hand, "I can't complain about you, the king of Hades is better, and the little ghost is difficult." Since all the evidence points to King Xinjun, and he is also dead, as the so-called death has no proof, let him bear this charge, in short, it is not wronged against him. Emperor Yuchen picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly.
"Brother Huang came to the minister's mansion late at night, is it just for this?" Obviously, King Qi would not think that Emperor Yuchen's late-night visit was to tell him that all the charges should be borne by King Xinjun, even if he didn't say it, he was already planning to do so, otherwise how could the people behind the scenes relax their vigilance.
"This is just one of them, I wonder how they are doing, Princess, and is there any danger?"
King Qi saw the concern in the eyes of Emperor Yuchen, and he also understood in his heart that Emperor Yuchen also loved Ling Ruoxian, but Ling Ruohui refused to enter the palace, and there was only King Qi in his heart, which fulfilled their good fate today.
"Uh......, Yi'er is very good, it's just ......" King Qi swallowed and refused to say more, but in fact, it was just to catch Emperor Yuchen's appetite.
"Just what? Say it quickly? Emperor Yuchen said with a hurried face.
Seeing that Emperor Yuchen had taken the bait, King Qi slowly spoke, "King Rui and the prince of the Southern Night Kingdom have both gone to Yecheng and live in the inn where Yi'er lives. ”
"King Rui? Que Feiyang? What are they doing in Yecheng? Emperor Yuchen raised his eyebrows and said. Even though Yi'er doesn't like him, but since she is already Princess Qi, she is her younger brother and sister, except for her younger brother, other men can't think about her anymore, if she thinks about Yi'er, it is to provoke the imperial power.
"Brother Huang, Que Feiyang brought a precious medicinal herb to Yi'er, maybe he can solve the poison of the purple anti-vine, King Rui went to Yecheng, and the younger brother didn't know."
"This wise king, I asked him to be in charge of this imperial examination, but he went to Yecheng?" Emperor Yuchen was already furious.
"Brother Huang, Yi'er sent a letter, telling his brother that before King Rui went to Yecheng this time, he had been carrying the three brothers surnamed Guo by his side, and the three brothers surnamed Guo had been probing their brains outside the medical hall of Yi'er, but they were struck by lightning and died on the spot. Perhaps, per......haps, King Rui was suspicious of the death of those three people, so he went to the inn where Yi'er lived. "That's probably what the water mean, if you don't give King Rui some black pot to carry on his back, wouldn't it be too cheap for him.
"Oh? Someone watching Princess Qi? Obviously, Emperor Yuchen was displeased, Ling Ruohui was sent by him to secretly investigate King Rui, but before he could investigate, King Rui followed Ling Ruohui's side, although everyone did not know that Ling Ruohui was sent by him, but King Rui's move was undoubtedly a provocation to the imperial power.
"Yes, so my brother is ready to leave for Yecheng, thinking that with me by my side, the people around Brother Rui will not dare to monitor anymore." King Qi said lightly. He just wants to sit on the charge of King Rui to spy on Ling Ruoxuan, otherwise, King Rui will not be too carefree.
Auspicious Inn.
After Ling Ruohui bathed, she only wore a moon-white bedclothes, sat at the table and read, and now it was Mu'er and Mengchun's turn to keep vigil, and the two girls were standing behind Ling Ruoxian, gently fanning her.
"Miss, you say, will Hongling take the bait?" Mu'er tilted her head and said lightly.
"I think she will." Ling Ruoxuan said with a confident smile.
"But the slave maid can't figure it out, how could she get on the line with King Rui?"
"Hehe, what is this......" Ling Ruohui didn't continue to solve the mystery in their hearts, just that imperceptible smile, which made people feel unfathomable.
After a cup of tea, Bingyu knocked lightly on the door, and then walked in quickly, and said with a light smile: "Miss, the fish has been hooked." ”
"Okay, wait a little longer, and we'll be able to close the net."
Mu'er and Mengchun watched Bingyu and Ling Ruoyi sing together, and they couldn't understand what was going on, although they knew that this incident was aimed at Hongling, but they still couldn't understand how Hongling could harm Miss since she had received Miss's grace and did such a thing.
Just thinking about it, Ling Ruoyi suddenly got up, and then slowly spoke, "Okay, it's time for us to close the net." With that, he opened the door and walked towards the guest room where King Rui lived.
Squeak, the door of King Rui's room was pushed open, and Hongling turned his head to see Ling Ruoxuan's face was not good, knowing that he had been exposed, and then turned his head to look at King Rui who was sitting and drinking on the side, hoping that he could defend himself.
Ling Ruoxuan glanced at her coldly, and the uneasy Hongling then looked at King Rui and slowly spoke, "The prince is really good, he is actually drinking alone in the room, how can he not invite this concubine to join him?" After finishing speaking, Ling Ruoxuan sat down at the table by herself, poured herself a glass of wine, raised her head and drank it, and continued: "Well, the old daughter is red, it's really good wine." ”
"Hehe, it turns out that Yi'er also likes to drink, if this king knows, he must have sent someone to invite you early. However, it's not too late, there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, let's toast. King Rui poured another glass of wine for Ling Ruoyi, and then raised his glass.
"How little is a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant? Did the prince ever think of me as a confidant? Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said.
"This king has always been a confidant, but unfortunately you have been deceived by others, and you have always been a wicked person as this king." Rui Wang said with a smile.
"Oh? didn't know that the prince was so good to his confidant that he sent someone to secretly do it behind his back. ”
"Where is this talking, this king doesn't understand."
"Don't you understand? Well, this princess will tell a story to the prince and inspire the prince. ”
"Will the story? All right. King Rui said with interest.
Hongling had already seen the clue from Ling Ruoyi's murderous gaze, and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but as soon as she stepped to the door, Bingyu blocked the way, and said coldly: "Miss Hongling, you might as well stay and listen to this story." ”
