Chapter 87: Borrowing
"Lord Wang, I have found the trace of Mama Hua." Ye Lan's face was solemn, and there was a man with the same ice cube face standing beside her, who greeted Jiang Huaiyin in the study.
The string of Buddhist beads glowed slightly in Jiang Huaiyin's hand, Jiang Huaiyin's fingers paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the man in black.
"Where?"
Nightblade hadn't seen Jiang Huaiyin for several months, but he didn't even save his greetings.
"Bashu."
Jiang Huaiyin nodded and continued to twist the Buddha beads.
"The old immortal is shrewd, and he is used to hiding people in unexpected places."
Bashu is Jiang Huaiyin's fief, and since he became regent, he has been stationed in the capital.
Stripped of the title of regent, his other identity is the king of inquiry, which belongs to Bashu.
In the end, the Queen Mother cared about the past and saved Mama Hua's life.
but sent people to his fiefdom.
Jiang Huaiyin sneered: "In the end, I am old, I know how to cherish it." β
Nightblade was silent at the same time.
Jiang Huaiyin smiled and asked, "How?" What does Mama Hua say? β
Nightblade arched her hand, "She doesn't trust anyone other than the prince, no matter what means her subordinates use, even if she shows the prince's own letter, she can't get her trust." β
Mama Hua doesn't eat hard and soft, and Nightblade can't torture her, otherwise it wouldn't take so long to return to Beijing to recover her life.
"She suspects that you are the Queen Mother's person."
Jiang Huaiyin said quietly.
Nightblade: "...... The subordinates don't know. β
Jiang Huaiyin chuckled, convinced of his guess.
As if thinking of something, the long and narrow phoenix eyes glanced coldly, "Can the previous matter be clarified?" Who is the person who went to the Dark Night Gate to buy the head of the king? β
"The prince forgives his sins!" Nightblade pursed his lips and knelt on one knee, "The people under the subordinates who follow the Night Gate always fail to catch their master!" β
This is a great shame for Nightblade as a royal killer!
It is also his belief that he would rather not return to Beijing, but also go thousands of miles to hunt down and kill the leader of the Night Gate!
Jiang Huaiyin held the Buddha beads in his hand and tapped on the table, "That's it, the Dark Night Gate has been able to gallop through the rivers and lakes for so many years and still hasn't fallen, and I still have the ability." Nightblade, you keep tracking. β
Ye Lan thought for a while and proposed: "Lord Wang, the surname Chu will appear in the capital from time to time, or his subordinates will bring people to besiege Chu Cheng and kill them, bring people back, and under severe torture, Chu Cheng will definitely confess." β
Nightblade lifted his eyelids slightly, glanced at Yelan meaninglessly, and finally said nothing.
Jiang Huaiyin sat up from the chair and walked around the table to Ye Lan, "Why do you think Night Blade didn't follow the line of Chu Cheng's killing?" β
"Why?" Yelan subconsciously asked.
Night Blade gave up his hand at Jiang Huaiyin again, but the words were explained to Ye Lan.
"The Dark Night Gate has come and gone without a trace, although Chu Chengshou has the title of a Dharma protector, but he can be traced clearly, and dare to act freely in the capital, and-" Night Blade paused, although he had scruples, he had to hurt Ye Lan's pride, nodded and looked at the ground, and said the rest of the words in one breath.
"He was also seriously injured in Ye Lan's hands, which means that Chu Cheng's status in the Dark Night Gate is not as important as it seems!"
Ye Lan's pupils dilated, and question marks were written all over her face.
Jiang Huaiyin smiled silently, walked past the two of them to the window, and stared at the waning moon in the night sky.
"It's easy to kill a Chu Cheng, but it's really difficult to completely cut off the news of the Dark Night Gate."
Ye Lan's cheeks were hot, and she wanted to raise some doubts in her heart, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
The servant's respectful voice came after the knock on the door paused.
"Lord Qiqi, Mama Yu in the palace is here, saying that she wants to see the prince-"
Jiang Huaiyin turned around suddenly, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Nightblade arched his hand, and a leap escaped through the open window and out of the study.
After closing the window, Yelan walked to the door and opened it.
"Mama Yu wants to see the prince? But what happened to Cining Palace? β
Xiaowu: "Something happened to Cining Palace, but it's not the queen mother, but the princess." β
"Princess?" Jiang Huaiyin just wanted to sit back on the sandalwood chair behind the table, his figure paused slightly, and he came to the door and asked the little servant, "What happened to the princess?" β
"Gu, I don't know the specific little one, Mama Yu is in the front hall!" The little guy was so frightened by Jiang Huaiyin's excessive performance that he stammered and trembled.
As soon as the words fell, I only felt that there was a yin wind blowing beside me, which was extremely cold-
Mama Yu hesitated in the main hall, saw Jiang Huaiyin's figure from a distance, and smiled at the corners of her lips without a trace, and was immediately covered by her.
When Jiang Huaiyin walked into the main hall, Mama Yu bowed on her knees, her face was anxious, and her tone was worried, "The old slave saw the prince, and I came today to ask the prince for two maids on the order of the queen mother. β
"Mama Yu is a rare guest in the palace, but Mama Yu is afraid that she has not come to the palace for a long time, and I don't know that this king never needs a maid to get close, right?"
Jiang Huaiyin hugged a snow-white cloak and walked slowly in front of Mama Yu, her tone was gentle, like a gentle spring breeze.
It is impossible to hear what he is thinking.
Mama Yu's expression remained unchanged, and the embarrassment was even stronger.
"It's the princess's maid. Recently, the Queen Mother was seriously ill, thanks to the princess's intelligence, she found out the real culprit behind the scenes. The culprit is now in the law, the palace maids of Cining Palace also need to be rectified, there are not enough people to serve, the queen mother is worried about the princess's body, so she sent the old slave to the palace to summon the princess's usual maids into the palaceββ"
Jiang Huaiyin sat lazily on the chair, and the Buddha beads hanging on the palm of his hand turned faster and faster, "The princess rarely accompanied her when she entered the palace before. β
"This time is different from the past, the princess she-the fever does not go away, and Cining Palace can't find anyone to trust to get close to the princess for a while-"
Mama Yu deliberately said things vaguely, just waiting for Jiang Huaiyin to get to the bottom of it.
How could Jiang Huaiyin not know the truth of Mama Yu's intentions?
He laughed and said, "In this case, the grandmother will wait a minute, and this king will send someone to find the maid." β
Mama Yu is blessed, "There is Lord Lao." β
Both of them chose to be silent, waiting for the egret and Shen Yue to enter the main hall, the atmosphere was as quiet as an ancient well and deep pool, which made people feel suffocated.
Mama Yu was not as calm as Jiang Huaiyin, and after seeing Shen Yue, she said meaningfully: "You two will follow me into the palace immediately, the princess is seriously ill and urgently needs someone to serve her." β
After speaking, he didn't forget to turn around and glance at Jiang Huaiyin.
Jiang Huaiyin sat on the chair without moving, and waved his hand lightly, "Do what Mama said." β
"Yes." Bai Lu and Shen Yue frowned, full of thoughts on digesting Mama Yu's words.
Mama Yu didn't say anything more and left with the two.
In the main hall, only Jiang Huaiyin's cold figure swayed slightly in the candlelight remained.
His face was completely gloomy, he stopped the movements in his hands, and stared at the door and shouted: "Ye Lan!" β
"The subordinates are here!"
"Within a quarter of an hour, this king will know everything that happened in Cining Palace!"
"Yes!"
