Chapter 17 The East Window Incident
Wei Yan had already found out that An Ruo had been staring at him, and he had the intention to tease the other party for a few words, but he was afraid that An Ruo would be annoyed and embarrassed, and he would not stay in the Qianqing Palace anymore. It wasn't until the chapter was almost reviewed that Wei Yan looked up and saw that An Ruo had already covered his face with a book and fell asleep.
Wei Yan walked over, sat on the edge of the couch, took away the book that was buckled on An Ruo's face, and looked at An Ruo's defenseless sleeping face, as if he had returned to those nights in the hospital back then.
He has never been used to sleeping with people around him, and in those days in the hospital, he was used to having a funny and funny An Ruo around him who liked to stare at him.
In fact, when he left in a hurry, the medical staff on duty left An Ruo's contact information, but this ruthless little girl who loved money never contacted her once. Of course, it is also possible that you have been contacted and you have already entered the game.
But now that An Ruo has met him again in the game, nominally his concubine, Wei Yan no longer intends to leave in a hurry like back then, and let An Ruo go, he admits that in those days and nights, An Ruo's absence has become his habit, and it has left traces in his heart.
Wei Yan gently pinched An Ruo's cheek and muttered, "You bumped into it yourself this time." ”
In fact, An Ruo didn't sleep deeply, she woke up as early as when Wei Yan came over to sit on her couch, endured holding a book, endured pinching her face, and didn't endure this sentence.
Obviously, he asked himself to come over and interrogate the guards, why did he say that he bumped into it! And yesterday, she went to find Xu Jieyu yesterday, so she didn't come to find him!
However, when he opened his eyes and looked at each other, An Ruo completely lost his ability to speak under the critical blow of Wei Yan's close-range beauty.
Why is there a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes on such a face full of tears?
Why can men's skin be so good?
Why does this NPC have to be so close to him, so close that he wants people to commit crimes!
An Ruo began to think about whether it would be a bit fake to pretend to get up and accidentally kiss him at this time? After all, it's been a while since she's opened her eyes.
However, before she could think about it, Wei Yan's face had already left the range of sneak attacks, and An Ruo suddenly felt that she had lost a million!
"Concubine Ding slept soundly, but it's already lunchtime at this time, and she will get up and eat before going to sleep."
obviously cherishes her, why does An Ruo just think that the other party is sarcastically saying that she is a pig that can sleep?
After the two of them had lunch, Gonggong Yan had already submitted the interrogation record with the sorted out, and when he wanted to report, he looked at An Ruo and hesitated.
What do you mean?
Pull the ladder up behind you?
Used her method and didn't tell her the result?
Gave Luban a lock for nothing? This time it's jade!
"It's okay, just say it."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Together with the people interrogated by Concubine Ding, a total of 50 guards have just been interrogated. No one noticed any unusual sounds from the lotus pond, but there was a problem with the 3 guards. A man named Etsuyo, who left the patrol leader for a stick of incense under the pretext of going to the toilet during the patrol, also tried to lie and not admit it. Later, after torture, he admitted that he had indeed left the patrol, saying that he had gone to see Xiao Zhan in Concubine Ding's palace. ”
An Ruo finally knew why Gonggong Yan wanted to speak and stopped, and the first person to find out that there was a problem in his relationship was in his palace.
An Ruo and Xiao Zhan looked at each other, and the two remembered at the same time that Xiao Zhan had indeed contacted the eyeliner of Taifu Mansion that day, and it turned out that this eyeliner was called Yue Gang.
admits that this Yue Gang is the eyeliner of Taifu Mansion, or does Xiao Zhan have a personal affair with this Yue Gang, which punishment is lighter?
Of course, it is said that Xiao Zhan has a personal relationship with this Yue Gang is relatively light, but not to mention the problem of NPC favorability, An Ruo can't do it just because of such a mess of mandarin duck spectrum, not to mention that he is selling his father, and he doesn't plan to sell it!
"Your Majesty, the concubine was injured that day, and he was afraid that the family would be in a hurry, so he asked Xiao Zhan to contact the guards he knew at home, and now it seems that it should be this Yue Gang, and the concubines forgot to thank him for bringing the words."
An Ruo spoke very quickly to explain the matter, she didn't believe that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military family didn't have an eyeliner in the palace, but was just a guard, at least she didn't expose the palace maids and eunuchs arranged in the palace.
"Well, got it, go ahead."
Wei Yan's reaction without anger made An Ruo's tense shoulders relax, and she knew that the modeled version of Wei Yan must not be a stingy person, and she had to find out to the end.
"The second guard named Hu Jian, after being on duty during the day, he was on duty again at night with people, and left the patrol team three times in the name of going to the toilet during the patrol, and each time he left the position was close to the lotus pond, after torture, he said that it was Zhu Cairen, who was still on duty in Zhaoyang Palace at that time, and asked him to meet by the lotus pond, saying that he was helping to carry things to the family outside the palace. The old slave had already asked people to check, Zhu Cairen did have a family in Kyoto, and the Hu guard did visit the next day, but the strange thing is that Zhu Cairen's relatives left Kyoto on the same day and have disappeared. ”
Seeing Wei Yan's gaze on him again, An Ruo immediately showed a harmless smile.
"This cinnabar used to be the palace maid who sprinkled and swept in front of the emperor, and she only stayed in the palace of the concubine for less than three days, no matter what she did, the concubine really didn't know."
The corners of Wei Yan's mouth curled slightly, of course he knew that it had nothing to do with An Ruo, but he just wanted to see An Ruo's reaction.
"Carrying things, communicating inside and out, exempting Hu Jian's errand, and sending it to Dali Temple for investigation. As for Zhu Cairen....."
Wei Yan rarely hesitated, An Ruo thought about his identity as a double agent, and opened his mouth to plead: "They are all raised by their mother's father, and it is understandable that they want to bring some things to the family, as long as they don't steal valuables in the palace." It's the relatives who have disappeared, and the emperor has to ask people to check it, don't be kidnapped by others. As for Zhu Cairen, why don't the emperor let Concubine Ning's sister search her palace and punish her for a month or two of confinement, so that it won't be known all over the palace, and secondly, it can be regarded as a complete palace rule. ”
Wei Yan stared at An Ruo for a while, until An Ruo looked embarrassed, and then withdrew his gaze.
When Concubine Ning originally proposed to let An Ruo be a two-sided spy, he originally disagreed, but since the group had already targeted An Ruo, they would definitely not give up easily, so it was better to be under their wings and look at her clearly, so as not to let that group of people harm An Ruo's life. I didn't expect An Ruo, a spy, to do a good job.
"Just go down as the concubine instructs."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
There was no joy on Yan's face, but even more worry, if what the last guard said was confirmed, then all the emperor's previous connivance and trust in Concubine Ding would become a joke.
"Why don't you continue?"
Gonggong Yan lowered his head deeply and said: "The third person's name is Zhang Yingping, this person is also a guard who changed shifts to the night of the day, and left the patrol once, after torture, he admitted that he quietly approached Geng Chongrong who was waiting by the lake, pressed Geng Chongrong's head into the water, and determined that after the other party drowned, he wanted to throw the body into the dry well, but because he was too late, he had no choice but to throw the body in the lotus pond. ”
An Ruo raised his eyebrows lightly, and found the murderer so easily?
If Geng Chongrong's head is only pressed into the water, it is true that it will not make a violent water sound due to the struggle, and the strength of an adult man can indeed subdue Geng Chongrong, but ......
"What else did the guard say? What was the motive for the killing? Who instructed it? ”
Seeing An Ruo's inquiry, Gonggong Yan looked over with sympathy: "Niangniang, that guard said that it was instructed by Concubine Niangniang of Zhaoyang Palace." ”
