Chapter 3: Dark Waves (1)
"Father, Wan'erγγγγγγ The queen's child was not saved, and the news brought up by the palace at present seems to be man-made rather than accidental. Wen Xiurong said in a sad and low voice, his body was still shaking a few times as he spoke, it was hard to imagine what kind of sadness a dignified seven-foot man's unbearable back revealed. Wen Shijie closed his eyes and frowned, was silent for a long time, and finally exhaled and said, "Don't let your mother know yet, I will enter the palace in two days to ask to see the emperor." Xiu Qi doesn't want to deliver the news over there, when will the emperor let you leave? β
Wen Xiurong tilted his head and was silent, and only after stabilizing his mind did he say: "It should be these days, my father is relieved that I will not even hide the matter of the queen's mother." But are we going to continue to be so patient? Wen Shijie tightened his voice and said, "Do you think the emperor is still the fourth prince before he ascended the throne?" Okay, your sister is in the deep palace, and your brother is still on the border, what's the point of talking about these questions now. After speaking, Wen Shijie brushed his sleeves away, Wen Xiurong looked at his father's figure walking away, there was an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes, and after a long time of returning to normal, he walked outside the house.
A sturdy boy rode a fast horse to the post station on the outskirts of Shengjing, and arrived at the post station late at night. As soon as he got the news of Wen Yanwan's miscarriage last night, Wen Xiurong urgently contacted the three hall masters of wood, fire and water in a special way. Wen Xiurong always likes to stand in the position of the window, open the window, and look up to see the moon. As the old saying goes, the moon is sixteen round in fifteen places, and the moon is really big and round tonight. Every time like this, he can always recall the young Wen Yanwan when he was young, looking at the moon, and telling her the story of Chang'e running to the moon. When listening to the story, Wen Yanwan's eyes are always shining, and sometimes Wen Xiurong is always confused, whether the stars in the sky are bright or her sister's eyes are bright. Thinking of this, Wen Xiurong's poker face with an expression of one thousand years unconsciously put on a warm smile.
The three hall masters arrived one after another, interrupting Wen Xiurong's memories, and Suzaku, Baihu and Xuanwu all knelt on one knee at some point, and said in unison: "Master." On the night of Wen Yanwan's miscarriage, the Wen family managed to get the stillborn child, and asked the folk doctor Fang Xuan to conduct an autopsy and extract a sample of poison from the corpse.
"Get up, you have received the letter, and tell me what you have gained." Wen Xiurong asked with his back to them and in a low voice. The white tiger was the first to speak: "Back to the master, no trace of this poison has been found in the Central Plains. Suzaku also echoed: "Master, there is no such poison in the southeast. Xuanwu finally spoke: "Master, there is a discovery in the northwest, and the information I have obtained so far is that this poison came in from the Western Regions, and a total of three bottles came in and were taken over by the Xichuan Tang Sect." The Tang Sect has been making and researching drugs for a living for generations, and the Jianghu clans like this rarely have anything to do with the imperial court, and if you want to find out the reason, it may take time to investigate carefully. β
"Xuanwu, how long will it take?" Wen Xiurong's voice asked without the slightest warmth, "It will take about ten days to return to the master." Xuanwu thought for a moment and replied. I don't have that much time for you, I have to leave Shengjing in the next few days, and this matter must be settled before I leave. I'll give you five days. β
Xuanwu had no room to refute, so he said in a low voice: "Yes, master, the slave will go now." After saying that, a black shadow flashed, and Xuanwu had already jumped from the window. Wen Xiurong spoke again: "Suzaku, what is abnormal about the White Tiger on Prince De's side recently?" Although I asked Xuanwu to investigate the poison, I always felt that the poisoning of the queen mother had nothing to do with him. The two of you should start with Prince De and see if he has recently had direct or indirect exposure to poison, so be quick. β
"Yes, master." After saying that, Suzaku and the white tiger also disappeared into the night. Wen Xiurong's figure has never moved, and there is always a little uneasy in his heart, people's premonitions are very strange existences, obviously the worst thing has just happened, but he always feels that it seems that it has not yet come to an end, and there are more severe tests waiting for him ahead. In the past two days, he has always had the illusion that Miyazawa Tian deliberately took their brothers away, as if something was brewing, but what was it? It's really unpredictableγγγγγγ
