Chapter 263: Listen to Ben Hou's persuasion
Li Yu didn't ask again when he heard this, he stood up, looked at Imperial Doctor Feng who was prostrate on the ground, and said coldly: "Keep your mouth shut, if anyone knows that you have seen this king, the only thing waiting for you is to be beheaded by the whole door." ”
Imperial Doctor Feng's body shook when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Yes!" ”
Li Yu went out of the door, stood in the courtyard and was silent for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the study, he instructed Bai Yun as he walked: "Send someone to send him to the palace, so that no one can notice." Another person was sent to investigate the whereabouts of Yongyu Hou eight years ago and three years ago. ”
"Yes!"
"Also, those who are imprisoned in the dungeon, you will try them yourself."
"Yes!"
Bai Yun left in a column, and Xiao Quanzi said in a low voice: "Master suspects, the death of the Marquis of Yongyu is related to the affairs of the Fourth Highness?" ”
Li Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "If this king is not mistaken, eight years ago and three years ago, the Marquis of Yongyu returned to the capital. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Quanzi was shocked.
He said worriedly: "The Marquis of Yongyu is the mentor of the Fourth Highness, and he once had the intention to marry Miss Xie to the Fourth Highness, if it is true that the days when the Fourth Highness disappeared were arranged by the Marquis of Yongyu, then the death of the Marquis of Yongyu must not be a coincidence." But the question is, who will kill Yong ......"
Li Yu looked at him coldly, and Xiao Quanzi suddenly shut up.
His Royal Highness had been missing for so many years, and less than a year after his return, Marquis Yongyu was killed.
It takes time to murder the Marquis of Yongyu, and it takes time to implement the plan, if it is calculated so strictly, it is almost after the return of His Royal Highness that the murderer has murderous intentions towards the Marquis of Yongyu.
Who is the murderer, this answer is almost imminent.
Finished! Finished!
Xiao Quanzi suddenly became anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he whispered: "Isn't it too late to get married on the sixteenth of next month?" The slave felt that it was not too late the day after tomorrow. ”
"Since we say sixteen, then sixteen."
Li Yu entered the study, sat down behind the desk, and rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly: "Call Wu Anhou to see you." ”
"Yes!"
The people imprisoned in the dungeon were just some Jianghu Langzhong, who had been imprisoned for many years, and before Bai Yun's methods were used, those people all confessed.
Bai Yun reported the things that those people had told Li Yu, and then said: "One of them is called a Taoist priest, and he said that his master once prescribed an addictive medicine to Ma Guogong, and as for where those medicines were used, he didn't know, and his master died six years ago. ”
Li Yu frowned when he heard this, his slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a tuk-tuk sound, and he asked, "Where is Li Qiong?" ”
Bai Yun replied: "My subordinates don't know, since the master saw the Four Highnesses yesterday, the Four Highnesses have left the palace, and I don't know where they are now." ”
After speaking, he asked, "Do you want to find out the Fourth Highness?" ”
Li Yu snorted: "Let him come to see the king, release the people in the dungeon, find a secluded courtyard to lock them in, and reveal the news to the Ma family." ”
Bai Yun bowed and replied, "Yes." ”
Not long after the afternoon, the people from the Splendid Workshop came, not only bringing the clothes they had made before, but also coming to tailor the clothes for Xie Wan and prepare the phoenix crown.
Xie Wan asked with some curiosity, "Did King Ning ask you to come?" ”
The embroidery lady of the splendid workshop said with a smile: "Exactly, His Royal Highness King Ning sent someone to inform the women last night. ”
Xie Wan sighed and asked casually, "Then he can say it, when will it be done?" ”
Xiuniang replied: "The prince ordered that it must be completed within ten days." ”
Xie Wan nodded, he was really in a hurry, and he didn't know why.
After measuring the clothes and choosing the patterns, the embroidery girls left, Xie Wan looked at the boxes of clothes, and chose one of them at random and went out.
There's no way, the dowry has already been lost, and marriage can't be shamed anymore.
She doesn't understand this, among the people she knows, the eldest princess doesn't have to worry about herself, Mrs. Chu's marriage must also be arranged by the family, and although she is a big family in Jianzhou, she doesn't know much about the capital, especially the marriage ceremony of the princes.
The only one who can ask for advice is Mrs. Wu'anhou.
Xie Wan went to the Hou Mansion of Wu An, and the porter knew that she was friendly with Mrs. Hou Wu An, and the matter of giving the dowry gift today was already known to everyone, so she didn't dare to slack off, and directly invited her into the Hou Mansion, and then sent someone to inform Mrs. Hou Wu Anhou.
Xie Wan entered the door and was about to go to the front hall to sit, but met Wu Anhou who came in a hurry.
This was the first time she had met Wu Anhou, a person who knew the inside story even if he was not the murderer of her parents.
Wu Anhou didn't expect to meet her, so he immediately stopped and looked at her with a complicated expression.
Xie Wan looked at his eyes, lowered her eyes, and stepped forward to salute him: "Xie Wan has seen Master Hou." ”
Wu Anhou opened his mouth, but he was speechless, and only after a moment did he speak: "Miss Xie doesn't need to be polite. ”
Xie Wan got up, smiled at him and said, "I heard from Madame before, Hou Ye offered to let me come to the Hou Mansion to live, and I haven't thanked Hou Ye for this matter." ”
Wu Anhou looked at her with a very complicated mood: "It's just a trivial matter, just rely on you to help Mei'er when she is in danger, these are what Wu'anhou Mansion should do." ”
Xie Wan bowed to him again: "No matter what, I still have to thank Master Hou." ”
"Thank you, girl, for your kindness." Wu Anhou opened his mouth and said: "Benhou still has some things, Miss Xie, please take care of yourself." ”
Xie Wan nodded and turned sideways to get out of the way.
Wu Anhou staggered past her, and just as he was about to leave, Xie Wan suddenly couldn't hold back and said, "Master Hou." ”
Wu Anhou stopped and turned to look at her: "Miss Xie, is there something?" ”
Xie Wan looked directly into his eyes and said, "I heard King Ning say that my father had no friends in the capital before his death, only the Hou Ye and the Hou of Xing'an had a little contact with him. I want to ask Master Hou, do you think that with my father's skills, he will fall off a cliff and die just because the horses are crazy? ”
Wu Anhou pursed his lips and looked at her, but did not speak.
Xie Wan knew that she might be impulsive, she smiled at him and said, "Master Hou, forgive me, it's just that this matter has been buried in my heart for a long time, and when I suddenly saw Lord Hou today, I couldn't help but be a little uncontrollable, I said too much." ”
Wu Anhou looked at her lowered eyes, was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Listen to Benhou's advice, sometimes the so-called truth has nothing but harm. The deceased has passed away, and Miss Xie has been a good present. ”
After saying this, Wu Anhou took a deep look at her and turned to leave.
Xie Wan looked at his back and didn't say anything for a while.
At this time, the maid beside Mrs. Wu'anhou arrived, and she said with a smile: "Madame was very surprised when she heard that the girl was coming, and hurriedly ordered the slave maid to come to greet her, and the girl is here, please." ”
Xie Wan retracted her gaze when she heard this, and said hello to the maid.
The maid led her towards the backyard and said with a smile: "I haven't said congratulations to the girl yet, I believe that it won't be long before the slave and maid will have to respect the princess when they see you." ”
Xie Wan smiled: "Accept your auspicious words." ”
