Chapter 44: The Princess's Feast
"There are assassins"
There was a mess in the lobby of Dali Temple, and Qian Qunxiao and Ming Thorn Star quickly stepped forward to check when they heard the sound.
"Everyone, be quiet."
Ming Thorn Star waved his hand to stop everyone's commotion, and then motioned to Qian Qunxiao and Dongfang Danyu to check Cheng Yuanming's condition.
Qian Qunxiao and Dongfang Danyu squatted down in front of Cheng Yuanming, and the two of them checked up and down, back and forth, and finally stood up.
Qian Qunxiao shook his head slightly towards the second prince and the others, and said, "Lord, second prince, ladies and gentlemen, this person has no wounds all over his body, and he has not found a trace of poisoning. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and Yan Kaitai first asked: "How did you die without a wound?" Could it be that there is a disease? ”
Yan Kaitai is just forty-five this year, and he became a general at such an age, and he is also young and promising, but people in the court don't like to associate with him very much, and it is said that this person has a paranoid personality, eccentric, and extremely difficult to get along with. But this person is very close to the crown prince Ming Chengxuan, and he should belong to the prince's party, so no one wants to offend him.
Everyone began to look for clues in Dali Temple, and they were busy until dusk and didn't find much, so Qian Qunxiao had to take Dongfang Danyu and Lu Jianping out of Dali Temple to go to the "Nanling Palace". As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they found a black carriage waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Qianqunxiao coming out, a guard immediately stepped forward quickly and hurriedly walked over.
"Young Master Qian, the entourage of the little Princess Naxiqi, has been waiting for her son here for a long time."
Princess Yun Bingyan of Xiqi?
Qian Qunxiao was stunned for a moment, this princess had never dealt with herself, so what did she mean by sending someone to wait here?
"I wonder what's the princess's business?"
Qian Qunxiao asked puzzled.
"Oh, there is nothing else important, just because the princess will leave for Xiqi tomorrow, but the princess has always been thinking about the life-saving grace of the princess, so I want to invite the princess to the post house for a banquet and talk about feelings."
Qian Qunxiao shook his head slightly when he heard this: "The princess is too polite, the princess and I are just meeting in Pingshui, and even reaching out to help is nothing." You don't have to. ”
When the guard heard that Qian Qunxiao was reluctant to go, a trace of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face: "The princess must invite the princess if she is small, otherwise the small one will not be able to make a difference." Also, it is said that there is something related to the map of the tomb. ”
"Fluttering Pear Blossom Tomb"?
Qian Qunxiao was suddenly shocked. On the day of the concubine's birthday, the princess was also at the scene, so she naturally heard the rumors about the "Fluttering Pear Blossom Tomb". If she does have any news of the map, she will have to check it out.
Thinking of this, Qian Qunxiao not only glanced at Dongfang Niwa. He and Dongfang Niwa are in love, and he is here to see another woman after all. This lonely man and widow, I don't know what she will think. Who knew that Dongfang Danyu didn't seem to care, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's rare that the princess is gracious, you go quickly, don't live up to the wishes of others." ”
Seeing no jealous expression, Qian Qunxiao smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to say to the guard: "In this case, I'll go with you." ”
"Childe, please get in the carriage."
The guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately led Qian Qunxiao towards the post house where Princess Xiqi was staying. Qian Qunxiao sat in the carriage, lifted the red cloth behind him, and found that Dongfang Niwa was still standing in the same position and looking in his direction.
"A Woman's Heart Needle"
Qian Qunxiao smiled bitterly in his heart, and simply closed his eyes and thought about the two murders that happened during the day. Cheng Yuanming said that at the critical moment, he suddenly died, obviously killed by murder, but there was no trace of injuries and poisoning on his body, and no assassins were found outside the door. Could it be the people in the lobby?
Thinking of this, Qian Qunxiao was shocked, in addition to catching fast in the lobby at that time, there were also a group of people such as Yan Kaitai, could it be that one of them did it?
Qian Qunxiao was pondering, the door curtain had been opened by the guards, and it turned out that the post house had arrived. He had to retract his thoughts for a moment and follow the guards into the inn. There is a pavilion in the inn, and at a stone table in the pavilion, Yun Bingyan, the princess of Xiqi, has been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw that thousands of clouds were coming, Yun Bingyan immediately got up to greet him, with a delicate smile like a spring flower on his face. People are born like nine-day fairies, and with the special makeup today, the whole person looks bright and moving, even if it is not worse than sinking fish and geese.
Qian Qunxiao was not only stunned, but forgot to take the initiative to say hello for a while.
"The little sister took the liberty of inviting the son to come, there is really something to disturb, and I hope that the son Haihan."
Yun Bingyan saluted Qian Qunxiao's pregnancy, and didn't seem to notice the abnormality on Qian Qunxiao's face.
"Ah...... The princess was polite. ”
Qian Qunxiao finally reacted and immediately thanked him, but secretly scolded himself in his heart, "Damn it." ”
"Childe, please sit down, the little sister will prepare a little thin wine, thank you for the grace of the childe to save his life, and the son will not be disgusted."
"Where did the princess speak?"
Thousands of people lifted their robes and sat down. The maid poured a full glass of wine for Qianqunxiao, and then retreated alone. This time, only Yun Bingyan and Qian Qunxiao were left, the air seemed to freeze suddenly, and neither of them knew how to speak, and the scene was very embarrassing.
After a long time, Qian Qunxiao and Yun Bingyan spoke at the same time: "Princess" and "Childe"
The two of them seemed to telepathically speak at the same time, and each smiled awkwardly after speaking.
"Princess, I heard that you have summoned you to come down, and there is another thing about the map of the 'Fluttering Pear Blossom Tomb'?"
Qian Qunxiao finally couldn't help it and asked straight to the point. He just wanted to end the dinner as soon as possible and leave this gentle country.
"Childe is very anxious, come, let's talk while eating."
Yun Bingyan laughed again, signaled Qian Qunxiao to dry the wine in the glass, and the two continued to chat while eating.
In the blink of an eye, the two touched a few more cups, and they ate a lot of dishes, but Yun Bingyan chatted about some painless things. What Qianqunxiao Guigeng, he is only two years younger than Qianqunxiao, whether there are clues about the case of Qianfu and so on. A few hours have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qian Qunxiao held back his temperament and kept nodding to deal with it. After sitting for a while, he finally couldn't help it anymore and was about to bring the topic back to the point. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his head was a little dizzy, and his whole body couldn't exert any strength. This surprise was not trivial, he knew how much he had drunk, and it was impossible for him to get drunk so quickly. Could it be that there is a problem with the food? Qian Qunxiao suddenly thought of the "Thousand Dragon Balls" on his body, which specializes in curing strange poisons. He immediately pretended to drop his chopsticks, and when he bent down to pick them up, he took out the "Thousand Dragon Balls" and squeezed them hard, and a blue light shot into his nostrils. After a while, he immediately felt refreshed, and he smuggled his strength, and the internal force around him was also constantly moving around.
"Thousand ...... Childe ......"
Yun Bingyan glanced at Qian Qunxiao, who had sat down again, and suddenly fell asleep on the table.
This time, Qian Qunxiao was also seen, if the meal was poisoned by the princess, how could she be like this??
"Princess, Princess"
Qian Qunxiao shouted twice, but still didn't wake up Yun Bingyan. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly fell asleep on the table as well.
