Chapter 687: Murder and Heart
It's just that she still can't stay here for a long time, if Li Jiajia or Li Yuyan discovers her whereabouts, the consequences will be unimaginable, so she can't even go back to the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion.
Thinking of this, Li Manting covered her face towel tightly.
He took a few steps on tiptoe, then turned his head and glanced at the gate of King Liang's mansion, his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, as if he wanted to penetrate the gate and reach the wedding room of Ye Zhenyu and Zheng Liqi.
--
In the East Palace, Ye Yiheng had just put Li Yuyan on the bed, when he suddenly heard Ling Lang's voice asking to see him.
"Your Highness, the case of poisoning the lotus leaf chicken has been decided."
Ye Yiheng said to the outside, "Someone is coming."
Miaozhu immediately came in: "Your Highness?"
"Serving the Crown Princess."
Ye Yiheng stretched out his hand and pulled the thin quilt over Li Yuyan's body, and immediately walked out of the bedroom.
"Yes."
Miaozhu bowed forward, and saw that his county lord's face was red, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of his lips, it seemed that this drinking was not because of trouble, so he put his mind at ease.
As soon as Ye Yiheng arrived outside, Ling Lang hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Highness, here's how it happened......
Ye Yiheng raised his hand to interrupt him, and said softly, "Go to the study."
Ling Lang bowed his head, and the master and servant went to the small building.
As soon as the two of them crossed the moon gate, they saw Songguo kicking the corner alone.
Ye Yiheng glanced at him and walked forward.
Ling Lang couldn't help but wonder who could provoke Songguo's anger, so he joked with a smile: "Gonggong Song, you kick like this, the wall of Xiaolou is going to be kicked over by you."
Songguo was not in the mood to laugh with Ling Lang, and caught up with Ye Yiheng: "Your Highness, what does the little slave need to serve?"
"Not yet." Ye Yiheng didn't stop, "You go and get busy."
Songguo let out a long breath, "Yes, Your Highness." He immediately turned around and walked out of the small building.
Ling Lang felt that the pine cones were a little strange tonight, but he didn't feel at ease, so he quickened his pace and followed Ye Yiheng into the study.
Ye Yiheng sat down behind the bookcase, and raised his hand to signal Ling Lang to sit opposite.
Ling Lang thanked him, and as soon as he sat down, he said, "Earlier, King Qingjun sent someone to look for the girl back then, but after looking for a long time, there has been no clue. Regarding Leng Song's ability, King Qingjun believes that it is probably difficult to find someone who Leng Song can't find. coincided with the wedding of His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess, and there were rumors that His Royal Highness had no hidden illness, so King Qingjun was extremely anxious."
"King Qingjun thought of the few women Leng Song had looked for before who were similar to the girls back then, and after looking at them one by one, he chose the one that looked the most similar."
"On the ninth day of the fifth month, King Qingjun invited His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, the Ninth Princess and Li Shizi to the eastern suburbs in the name of the Eighth Prince, in order to separate the two Highnesses, and it was then that King Qingjun mentioned the girl to His Highness."
"On May 11, under the arrangement of King Qingjun, His Highness went to the inn to meet the woman. At the same time, King Qingjun also sent Xiao Tong to send a note to the crown princess, and the crown princess saw His Royal Highness's contact with the woman at that time. Coincidentally, the room where the crown princess was located looked out, and there was a shade of trees to prevent the woman's face from being seen. The subordinates guessed that the crown princess was probably heartbroken that day."
"On May 14, the crown princess was designed by the king of Qingjun to go to the small courtyard, and saw His Royal Highness and the woman eating peaches, so the crown princess cried bitterly under the tree. At that time, His Royal Highness seemed to hear a voice and walked out of the small courtyard, and the appearance of King Qingjun prevented His Highness from seeing the crown princess."
"On May 18 and May 19, King Qingjun asked the crown princess to be treated under the pretext of an old arm injury, and His Royal Highness was jealous because he wanted His Royal Highness's image in the heart of the crown princess to plummet."
"As for the lotus leaf chicken, it is also King Qingjun who heard that the women in the small courtyard are the best at making a lotus leaf chicken, and he wants to destroy the precarious husband and wife relationship between His Royal Highness and the crown princess."
"But King Qingjun didn't expect that it was this lotus leaf chicken sent to the East Palace from outside that was targeted."
"King Qingjun didn't expect that the crown princess was the girl back then."
Ye Yiheng raised his finger: "The matter exposed by the small courtyard, Lone is very clear, there is no need to say this anymore, you just say that the lotus leaf chicken was poisoned."
Ling Lang bowed: "
Previously, His Highness guessed that there was another master behind the woman in the small courtyard, and his subordinates found that there was no one behind the woman, only King Qingjun."
"As for how the lotus leaf chicken was poisoned, the reason is that His Royal Highness and King Qingjun have gone to the small courtyard many times, and even King Xian knows about the small courtyard, and the princes next to him all think that His Royal Highness has raised a woman outside. happened to see the woman in the small courtyard send someone to deliver food to the East Palace that day, so I took the opportunity to stun the maid on the road for a tea time, during which I poisoned the lotus leaf chicken."
"And the person who poisoned him is the staff next to King Liang."
"After the person was poisoned, he went to King Liang to ask for credit, and said that if the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was successful, King Liang would be able to blame King Qingjun for his crimes. So, King Liang has been waiting for His Highness to die of poison, but he doesn't want to wait for the news that the woman in the courtyard has been killed."
"King Liang didn't take this matter to heart, because he married Prime Minister Zheng Cheng's mansion, and waited for His Royal Highness to be deposed as the prince a month after the wedding of the crown princess."
"Prime Minister Zheng has been an official for many years, and most of them are so-called students. According to the subordinates, at that time, these people will ask the emperor to be the new prince at that time. Their recital has been prepared for that day."
Ye Yiheng opened the glass bottle, took out two pieces of dried peaches from it, threw one to Ling Lang, and stuffed the other into his mouth.
Seeing Ling Lang put the dried peach into his mouth with a suspicious expression, he asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Ling Lang frowned slightly, and said honestly: "It's delicious, it's delicious, but Your Highness, what we're talking about now is that many people in the court and China are already discussing the selection of a new crown prince, why aren't you in a hurry?"
Ye Yiheng smiled on her lips: "It's delicious, this dried peach is made by the crown princess for Gu."
Ling Lang was either investigating or staying in his own library during this time, so he naturally didn't know about Li Yuyan's personal drying of peaches.
Thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still in the mood to eat this kind of candied fruit, he knew that His Royal Highness was in the chest, so he got up and made a deep gesture to Ye Yiheng: "Your Highness, it's your subordinates who are impatient."
"Earlier, when Lin Qing Pavilion Yan Yan cured Lone's eye disease, Lone discussed with her when to make the matter of restoring her eye vision public, and now it is almost time." Ye Yiheng smiled faintly, "Of course, it depends on why the old man is orphaned."
Ling Lang nodded again and again, and immediately thought of the poisoning of the lotus leaf chicken, and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to deal with King Liang's staff?"
"Deal with it, since he is on the lotus leaf chicken, then feed him a bottle of crane top red."
Ye Yiheng spoke slowly, and her voice was even more unwavering.
Ling Lang couldn't help but ask again, "What about King Qingjun's side?"
Ye Yiheng smiled: "This person has such a trick because he loves Yan Yan, and he wants to keep him and let him understand that Yan Yan is not something he can think about, but also wants him to know that Gu and Yan Yan are happily married and will have children in the near future."
For Ji Qingyu, this is tantamount to murder.
