Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Can't Afford to Lose
"Who are you?" Xiao Beichen looked at the woman in front of him and wondered.
"Fourth prince, the daughter of the people is ordered by the imperial concubine, and there is something to be reported, can you take a step to speak?" With that, Yulan took out the jade sword that Song Wan was carrying and handed it to Meng Yu to make sure that he was not talking nonsense.
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen turned around and looked at the blood stains on the sword's body, and suddenly his eyebrows froze, and he said coldly: "What about her?" ”
"In the suburban courtyard" The words fell, he was too worried, Yulan quickly took over the words and said in a low voice: "No one is in trouble, Imperial Doctor Lu is guarding in the hospital, and the imperial concubine will be fine." ”
"Lord, this is not the place to speak, lest the walls have ears."
"Take her to the Kirin Drunk and wait for me, I'll be there later."
"Yes".....
As soon as the two stepped into the Qilin drunk lobby, the shopkeeper greeted them warmly, "My lord, but you want to eat?" ”
"Two taels of gold pliers, three taels of gold pliers, everything is business as usual."
"It turned out to be the fourth master! Okay, the van is ready, the guest officer is at your own convenience, and you can tell the small one at any time if you have something. ”
"Hmm" After Meng Yu took Yulan to the guest room on the second floor, he retreated and guarded outside until Xiao Beichen arrived..."Go to the suburbs to check, I want to know the accurate news of Song Wan." ”
"Yes!"
"The Four Princes"
"No need to be polite" Xiao Beichen raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then went straight to the point: "What happened in Huayilou today, but it has something to do with you?" ”
"Yes" After saying that, knowing that Xiao Beichen's intelligence could not be concealed for long, Yulan simply and generously admitted, "This matter is indeed our bureau, in order to bring out the people behind the scenes of Huayi Building." ”
"Can you find it?"
The "Fourth Prince" Yulan was not in a hurry to reveal the mystery to him, but changed his direction and said: "The people's daughter was ordered by the imperial concubine from Yangzhou to investigate the mystery of Miss Yao Fuyan's life a year ago, and she has indeed gained something recently. ”
"Oh? What is it? ”
"Master Nilian is Yao Xuetang's adoptive mother, and she is also the sister of the shopkeeper Liao, about the various stakes here, believe me if I don't say it, the four princes should also understand."
"So that's why you've been lurking around Shopkeeper Liao for so long, Miss Yulan?"
Hearing this, knowing that his identity had been seen through by the other party, Yulan was not flustered, but just nodded at it and said softly: "Yes, since the fourth prince has guessed it, then I won't hide it, about the poison, Huayilou is just an introduction, and the person behind the real layout is still behind, and it needs to be further investigated." ”
"So" Xiao Beichen tapped on the table and said in a low voice: "Just by virtue of a deceased Master Nilian, you can conclude that Yao Xuetang is guilty?" ”
"Of course not" Seeing that he seemed to be still vigilant, Yulan thought that he hadn't said clearly enough, so he continued: "Four princes, when Lord Pei was tracking down the whereabouts of Liao's shopkeeper in Jinan, he was chased and killed by a group of black-clothed people, and the hidden weapon used by these people was engraved with the four big characters of Cloud Shadow Dart Bureau. Although few people know about it, the Cloud Shadow Dart Bureau is the secret industry left by Master Nilian to Yao Xuetang, and as long as the four princes go to the secret investigation, it will naturally be clear. ”
Seeing that he lowered his head and pondered without saying a word, Yulan perseveredly advised: "Yao Xuetang's heart is like a snake and scorpion, even Ziyu has been murdered by her, if she is allowed to escape this time, I am afraid that she will not be at peace when she enters the Xiao Mansion in the future." ”
"Today's battle in Huayilou, you tell me the truth" Xiao Beichen did not respond to her words, but raised his head and stared at Yulan coldly, and said coldly word by word: "What role did Song Wan play in it?" ”
Forehead.... This damn sense of oppression, she knew that according to Song Wan's plan today, if she said the result, she would be the first to be pushed out to death! The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to cry without tears, but in the face of the other party's aura of not being angry and arrogant, Yulan could only stubbornly lower her voice as much as possible: "According to the plan, I am responsible for the back of the Huayi Building, and the imperial concubine is alone in the bamboo forest against the black-clothed man and the green ripples. Got a little bit hurt."
"What injuries you have, tell me clearly!"
"Yes, it's an external injury, but fortunately, the internal injury is not serious, Imperial Doctor Lu said that as long as you spend these two days, you can get out of danger" The last sentence Yulan said more and more quietly, and he couldn't wait to let the words rot in his stomach! There is no way, anyone who looks at the black face of the man opposite at this time, I believe that they will not have the courage to brush the tiger's whiskers easily, and besides, she still wants to live for a few more years.....
"Wechen see the four princes"
"Imperial Doctor Lu is exempt, how is the situation of the imperial concubine?" After Xiao Beichen came to the other courtyard with Yulan drunk, he asked anxiously as soon as he saw Imperial Doctor Lu.
"The fever has subsided, and I will wait for another night, if it does not recur, I believe it will get better tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen, who finally fell from the big stone in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can I go in to see her?" ”
"Yes, just"
"It's just what, but what's the change?"
"No" Imperial Physician Lu shook his head lightly, although he had promised Song Wan that he would keep the secret for her, but if her current body was allowed to do anything by herself, it would be difficult to guarantee that she would have such good luck next time! He didn't want to watch the two lovers end up regretting....
After talking to Imperial Physician Lu, Xiao Beichen stood by the bed at this time and looked at Song Wan who was sleeping, and only felt a twist in his heart. If he was really willing to give her a go before, but now that he learned that she was pregnant, he completely dispelled this idea! "Wanwan" Xiao Beichen leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, and said in a very gentle tone: "There will be no next time, only you, I can't afford to lose"
When the words fell, when Xiao Beichen got up again, there was already a touch of determination in his eyes, and after finally placing the jade pendant beside the bed, he turned around and left the wing.....
"The Four Princes"
"You stay here, take good care of the imperial concubine, remember, no one is allowed to disturb without my order, otherwise I will only ask you!"
"Yes."
After receiving the answer, Xiao Beichen strode out of the courtyard, leaving Shangguan Shenxue looking at his hurried back, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: There seems to be something different between these four princes.....
Yao Mansion, Yao Xuetang was waiting for the news of Huayi Building in the wing, and suddenly there was a strange sound outside the courtyard, and it sounded like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground..."Lu Yi, go see what's going on?" ”
"Yes"
"Ahh Small, miss"
"What's the matter, panicked" Yao Xuetang looked at Lu Yi running back with a pale face, and couldn't help but wonder: "What happened outside?" ”
"Green, Green Ripple"
"Green Ripples? She's back? ”
"Back, back, no, she, her"
"Speak clearly" Yao Xuetang said coldly and impatiently: "If you can't even speak well, then you don't need to wait here, I don't raise wasters!" ”
"Miss is angry" Lu Yi was afraid that she would really be demoted to the Huanyi Bureau, so she was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, it was Lu Lian outside, she was seriously injured, and her face was ruined, it was the slave who was so frightened that she couldn't react for a while, Miss forgive me." ”
Hearing this, Yao Xuetang raised his eyebrows in shock, they, defeated? Thinking of this, she stood up abruptly and walked out. When she came to the courtyard and saw the green ripples lying on the ground and dying, she fell backwards in disbelief, "Miss, be careful"
"Yes, who is it, do you see it?"
"No, as soon as the slave came out, I only saw a burlap bag thrown into the courtyard, and when I stepped forward to open it, I found that it was Lu Lian" After that, Lu Yi looked at Yao Xuetang, who was still in shock, and asked softly: "Miss, do you need to pass on the imperial doctor?" ”
"No" Yao Xuetang looked at the green ripples with only one breath left, his eyes were ruthless, since the matter has been revealed, then there must be someone to bear all this..."Lu Yi, bring people with me, I will personally go to Dali Temple to report the case." ”
"Yes, Miss!"
After sitting in the carriage, Yao Xuetang squeezed the token in his hand tightly, and said secretly: Song Wan, this big gift, I will return it ten times sooner or later!
In Dali Temple, Pei Ze sat in the hall and looked at Yao Xuetang, who pretended to be calm, and said coldly: "Miss Yao came late at night, but there is something important?" ”
"Master Pei, in the Lantern Festival case earlier, I found some evidence here, so I dared to show it to Lord Pei" After that, Yao Xuetang took out an object from his sleeve and put it on the desk, and said slowly: "This is the token of the Cloud Shadow Dart Bureau, Lord Pei doesn't know, this is the industry in front of my adoptive mother Master Nilian, but it fell on my head after her immortal death, but unfortunately I don't know anything about this kind of business, so I had to hand it over to my henchman Lu Lian, who knew that she dared to do such a foolish thing!" ”
"Oh?" Pei Ze picked up the token and looked left and right, and said noncommittally: "Then according to Miss Yao's meaning, how can this green ripple, as a slave, dare to commit such a catastrophe behind the back of the master and the shopkeeper Liao, this seems to be a bit unreasonable." ”
Hearing this, knowing that Pei Ze would not easily believe her words, Yao Xuetang felt a pang in his heart, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master Pei, I admit that Shopkeeper Liao did ask me to discuss cooperation, but at that time I had clearly rejected her, I just didn't notice it for a while, and was stabbed in the back by my own henchman, speaking of which, I am also a victim." ”
"Good victim, Miss Yao"
"Adult"
Before Pei Ze could finish speaking, a call came from outside the door: "My lord, the fourth prince asks to see you." ”
Xiao Beichen? Why is he coming here at this time, is it...."Since the four princes are also here, then Miss Yao will go to the hall with me, after all, in the Lantern Festival case, the four princes are also victims, right?" Compared to me, he may be the person who has the most say in choosing whether to trust Miss Yao or not! ”
The words fell, and without waiting for Yao Xuetang to react, Pei Ze took the lead and skipped her and walked in the direction of the hall...."See the Four Princes"
"Master Pei, excuse me"
"The four princes are here today, but what do you have to do with the Lantern Festival case?"
"Not bad" When the words fell, Xiao Beichen glanced at Yao Xuetang, who was following closely behind, and his heart was clear, and then said: "Shopkeeper Liao has found it." ”
