Chapter 222: Chess Pieces
Several maids glanced at each other, and then shook their heads, their eyes full of confusion.
"The slaves and maids don't know, but they only hear the flowers mentioned in the mouth of the prince."
Flower?
Ye Hao frowned slightly, a little puzzled, Zhao Yi is not a person who likes to pick flowers on weekdays, why did he go to the flowers in the pond?
But asking left and right, those little maids couldn't say why, she could only give up.
Zhao Yi's condition is stable now, so Zhao Gaowei dispersed everyone, leaving only two personal maids to take care of.
And Ye Hao and his wife were specially called to the study by him.
Several people were most familiar with Zhao Yi, and they knew that there must be something strange about falling into the water, so they got together to discuss the matter.
"This king has already asked everyone present at the time to interrogate him, and he has not been able to find any clues except for what the little maids said."
Zhao Gaowei's face was not very good-looking, after all, it was something that happened under his nose, and he, as a father, felt a little guilty and self-blamed.
After Zhao Yi was abducted, he had already cleaned up the entire palace, and there was no secret chess left in half of the other forces.
Now it seems that their own means are not enough, and there are still fish that slip through the net.
Although Zhao Gaowei was suspicious of Zhao Yunqing in his heart, he knew a little about this girl, and knew that with the other party's mind, he couldn't create such a scheme that even he couldn't find a flaw.
Among them, there must be someone else involved.
Hearing his words, Ye Hao's faces were also solemn.
"I think this matter is for Xiao Yi, someone must have secretly used a trick! Have you searched the edge of the pond? But what's the clue?"
For this, Zhao Gaowei had already thought of it, and he shook his head with a calm face.
"I've already sent someone to investigate, but the edge of the pond is already wet with mud, and there are only traces of Yi'er's slippery feet."
If the other party is really doing things on the edge of the pond, then his people should be able to find out.
At that time, the incident of falling into the water had just happened, and he sent someone to investigate as soon as he got the news, but he found nothing, as if it was really just an accident.
It seemed to others to be an accident, but they didn't think so.
"There is a suspicion, early this morning, Zhao Yunqing went to Yi'er's courtyard for some reason, and it seemed that he stayed for a while before coming out."
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Gaowei is suspicious of the other party.
The people were all called into the courtyard, and no one heard what the two men were saying in the house.
However, according to the maid in Zhao Yi's yard, Zhao Yi, who was originally extremely disgusted with Zhao Yunqing, seemed to have a better attitude after this chat.
Among them, there must be fraud.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Lord Wang, Xiaoqin asks to see you."
Zhao Gaowei waved his hand, and the little guy standing at the door opened the door and let Xiaoqin walk in.
Seeing the people in the house, Xiaoqin's expression remained unchanged, and she first saluted everyone, and then said the purpose of her trip.
"Lord Wang, today's incident of the prince falling into the water is afraid that it has something to do with the county lord of Yunqing."
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hao's eyes were attracted.
Looking at the little maid standing in front of him, Xie Yunshu always felt a little familiar, and suddenly recalled, isn't this the little maid who has been following Zhao Yunqing for the past two days?
Ye Hao didn't notice that something was wrong, she had been busy with the weaving workshop and the opening of a restaurant in the past few days, and she had never met Zhao Yunqing, of course she had never seen Xiaoqin.
Zhao Gaowei raised his chin slightly and motioned for the other party to continue.
"Yesterday afternoon, the county lord went out of the mansion and didn't know who he went to meet, only taking her little maid with him, and didn't bring a few of us. When he returned, he muttered mysteriously for a while, and early in the morning he took someone to see the son, and talked for a long time, and when he came back, he was extremely happy."
Thinking back to what was wrong with Zhao Yunqing, Xiaoqin said everything she noticed.
Just chatted in the morning
After the day, within an hour, Zhao Yi fell into the water.
Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that this matter is definitely related to Zhao Yunqing, which is why Xiaoqin secretly came to report.
"This king knows, you go back first and continue to keep an eye on her, and if she goes out of the house again, inform the housekeeper and let people follow her to see who she sees."
After Xiaoqin finished speaking, Zhao Gaowei gave some instructions, and immediately let the other party leave.
Looking at the interaction between the master and servant, Xie Yunshu's eyes raised slightly, and he suddenly understood something in his heart.
On the contrary, Ye Hao was confused, looking at this scene a little unclear.
"So, Xiao Yi fell into the water was done by Zhao Yunqing?"
She asked Zhao Gaowei, with some shock in her eyes.
Although Zhao Yunqing had conflicts with herself before, and she also had strange thoughts about Xie Yunshu, she only thought that the other party was a spoiled girl, and she was a little arrogant.
But today's falling into the water, the mastermind behind the scenes obviously wants Zhao Yi's life, if this matter is done by Zhao Yunqing, then Ye Hao's opinion of this girl will suddenly change.
In the past, she ignored the other party's various provocations, but she didn't want to bully the small with the big and didn't care about a child.
But if the other party is a person who is so bad to the bone that he actually kills a child, she will no longer condone and ignore it!
Zhao Gaowei's face was dark, and after a pause, he shook his head slightly.
"She's supposed to be just a pawn, someone to use it as a gun."
With Zhao Yunqing's scheming methods, he will never be able to get to the point where he can't even grasp the handle, and there are definitely people involved in this matter.
The person the other party saw yesterday should be the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gaowei suddenly felt a trace of remorse in his heart, and he was a little too arrogant.
thought that the other party was on his own territory, as long as he sent a few maids to keep an eye on it, he would not be able to turn over any storms.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived in Lingnan, Zhao Yunqing could find a helper and make trouble for herself!
It seems that this good niece and nephew, he can no longer be treated with gentle means!
"Even if she is used as a gunman, can she not know the consequences of the son falling into the water? This still proves that she, Zhao Yunqing, is a vicious person who can poison her own cousins."
Xie Yunshu, who was standing beside Ye Hao, sneered and pointed out the key.
Especially the last sentence, he specially pointed out to remind Zhao Gaowei.
Zhao Yunqing dared to kill Zhao Yi, what kind of mind did King Ruixian standing behind her have, this was not obvious enough?
If it weren't for the confidence given to her by King Ruixian, how could a little concubine dare to do such a thing to Zhao Yi, who is the son of Cheng'an Wangfu and the only son of Zhao Gaowei?
Zhao Gaowei, who realized this, really changed his face, and waves set off in his heart.
But he remained calm on the surface, but his eyes deepened.
"What you said is not unreasonable, since she is unkind, don't blame this king for being unjust!"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face, Zhao Gaowei's heart moved slightly, and he thought of a way to punish the other party well.
However, this matter still needs the help of Ye Hao and his wife.
He raised his head slightly, focusing his gaze on the two of them.
"This king has a plan, but he needs the help of the two."
Ye Hao and the others glanced at each other, and then nodded slightly, both ready to take revenge for Zhao Yi.
This child thinks that they are stepfathers and mothers, and he has to take responsibility for himself.
On this side, Ye Hao and the three of them were discussing the means of revenge, and on the other side, Zhao Yunqing, who had no idea, was still happy in his heart.
"Father's secret chess is really powerful! It was so easy for Zhao Yi to fall into the water! It's really a big breath for the lord of this county!"
She sat alone in the room and was happy, and all the other servants were gone.
Zhao Yunqing did not inherit her father's intelligence, but she still had a little bit of precautions and vigilance at critical times.
Even if Xiaoqin fell in love with herself again, she didn't dare to take the other party out of the house with her
King Ruixian buried in the dark chess meeting in Lingnan.
He didn't show half a point in front of the people in the courtyard, but secretly carried out the whole plan alone....
So, I can only hide in the house alone and steal fun.
Since she arrived at Cheng'an Palace, she has suffered a lot of anger, and this is the first time she has been so relieved.
"Humph! Let that little ghost always target the county lord, let him learn a good lesson this time!"
Zhao Yunqing felt much more comfortable, you must know that in Zhao Yi's courtyard just now, she was holding back the pleasure in her heart, and forced a little worried expression out.
Now that I'm back in my yard, of course I can laugh heartily.
However, when Xiaoqin knocked on her door, Zhao Yunqing quickly returned to her normal expression.
"County Lord, now that Xiao Shizi fell into the water, the house is uneasy. If you still want to repair the relationship with Xiao Shizi, you can take this opportunity to send some medicinal supplements and other things to express your gratitude. In this way, it can also make the prince's attitude towards you better."
As soon as she entered the house, Xiaoqin took the initiative to provide ideas to the other party.
Hearing her say this, Zhao Yunqing's eyes rolled, and she felt that what the other party said was right.
Zhao Yi's falling into the water was only the first step for her to retaliate back, but her other goal was difficult to move forward, and she still had to think again.
No one knows that the falling water is related to herself, and she can still gain a lot of goodwill at this time, so why not?
As long as he can make King Cheng'an and the prince like him, then that Ye Hao will not be afraid!
After making up her mind, Zhao Yunqing rummaged through the pile of things she brought, found several precious tonic medicinal materials, and asked the maid to carefully package them and send them to Zhao Yi's courtyard in person.
But at the moment, Zhao Yi has not woken up, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard is very gloomy, and Zhao Gaowei even spoke, and no one is allowed to enter and leave casually.
In desperation, she had no choice but to hand over the things to the maid at the door and let her send them in.
"She acted well in this play."
Ye Zhen and the three of them just agreed on the matter, and came over to see Zhao Yi together, and accidentally saw this scene.
Smiling coldly, she looked at each other with a lot of disgust in her eyes this time.
The three of them didn't rush over, and waited until Zhao Yunqing left before entering the courtyard together.
"The things that Zhao Yunqing sent just now were all thrown away by this king."
Glancing coldly at the box in the maid's hand, Zhao Gaowei had a clear disgust on his face.
When the maid heard this, she quickly nodded yes, turned around and went to throw something.
When he entered the house, Zhao Yi was still asleep, and a maid fed him medicine halfway, woke up groggily, and fell asleep again after drinking the medicine.
Before leaving, the doctor said that these two medicines have the effect of calming the nerves and helping them sleep, and it is normal to sleep more.
When Zhao Yi woke up, his body was almost neat.
Ye Hao, who was still a little uneasy about Zhao Gaowei's revenge plan, saw Zhao Yi's slightly pale face, and the hesitation in her heart dissipated at once.
To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself!
She silently recited this sentence in her heart, and made up her mind that she would not be soft-hearted this time and clean up the other party.
After visiting Zhao Yi, Ye Hao hurriedly went out with Lin Bin, and the destination was directly to the inn where Fu Ru'an was.
As soon as she entered the house, she asked Fu Ru'an:
"Please, help me with something."
