Chapter 111: Connect the dots into a line
When Lianzhi left the study room, she quickly walked back, but did not notice the steps under her feet and almost tripped. Fortunately, Su Yue grabbed her even though she was holding her.
"Crown Princess, what's wrong with you?" Su Yue didn't follow in just now. She didn't know what happened. She thought it was Wen Zhiyuan's words that made Lian Zhi feel confused. "But what the prince said makes you unhappy?"
Lian Zhi shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness. It's because I saw an old thing in my palace and it was a bit difficult for me to control my emotions for a while."
Su Yue thought Lianzhi missed Dongxia, and she was about to persuade Lianzhi, but Lianzhi had already interrupted her: "Let's go back."
Wen Zhiyuan saw through the window that Lian Zhi had just stumbled, and his eyes became deeper. Lian Zhi was always cautious and could not see the steps under her feet clearly, unless something happened that made her mess up.
Wen Zhiyuan turned around and looked at the piece of cloth placed on the table. It seemed that Lianzhi knew this piece of cloth, but why did she refuse to admit it?
Lian Zhi returned to the Shuangyun Palace and went back to the room alone. She sat blankly beside the bed for a long time, and then fell heavily on the bed.
She was very familiar with that piece of fabric. After all, she had been wearing clothes made of this kind of fabric for more than ten years. Although Fan Ninghuai had not many killers, she was the best among them. Looking back now, there was still a bloody atmosphere that could not be dissipated between her nose.
Lian Zhi did not expect that the matter in Huayang Mountain was actually made by Fan Ninghuai. After thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising. If Fan Ninghuai used the group of people under his command, it would be no difficulty to introduce a group of wild wolves into Huayang Mountain without being discovered.
But why did Fan Ninghuai do this? At that time, he should not be in Western Chu, and he had never even seen Wen Zhiyuan, so why did he harm him?
Lian Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and thought of something. If Fan Ninghuai had colluded with the people of the Western Chu royal family from the very beginning, then all this could be explained. Who would have colluded with Fan Ninghuai?
Because of a piece of fabric, Lianzhi connected those seemingly unrelated things.
Fan Ninghuai knew about Yunfeng from the beginning, so he never thought of letting himself truly marry Western Chu. At that time, he followed Wen Zhiyuan to Western Chu and broke Fan Ninghuai's plan. In Fan Ninghuai's prediction, she could successfully escape from Yunfeng and return to Dongxia.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and Lian Zhi voluntarily followed Wen Zhiyuan back to Western Chu. This deviation exceeded Fan Ninghuai's expectations.
Because she came to Western Chu, the situation in Western Chu became even more chaotic. The eldest prince and the second prince were eager to take action against Wen Zhiyuan because of their marriage, which caused so many things to happen. During the spring hunting, the person who conspired with Fan Ninghuai wanted to kill Wen Zhiyuan. As for the secret passage leading out of the city, if no one conspired with Fan Ninghuai, how could it be hidden from everyone? On the day of the wedding, the bedroom of the East Palace was bombed, and it was impossible to transport it in without anyone to pick it up.
Lian Zhi figured out everything. Thinking about it carefully, the person who conspired with Fan Ninghuai should be one of the princes. Others do not have the ability to do it, but which prince would it be?
Lian Zhi had a headache thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it. As long as that person continued to take action, he would always reveal flaws.
Lian Zhi sighed and calculated that Wen Zhiyuan suffered so much persecution because of her own reasons.
Lianzhi walked to the window, she opened the window and looked outside. Spring has passed and summer has arrived. Time flies so fast. It’s almost a year since she came to Xichu. Now the situation in Xichu is like this hot summer, which is anxious. Here, the struggle has never stopped, but Lianzhi felt a little unwilling to leave...
A few days later, Wen Zhiyuan took Lianzhi and Wen Yunxi out of the palace to experience the people's sentiments.
"Didn't you say you want to go to the garment store to see the latest trends in Beijing? You just go to the garment store to check out. When you are tired, you can find a place to eat."
"What about you?" Lian Zhi asked.
"There is nothing interesting for you to follow me. It's better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to leave the palace and wander around. I will be able to end the matter here soon to find you." Wen Zhiyuan explained.
Lianzhi nodded: "Okay, then we won't bother you."
Wen Zhiyuan took the cold wind to the other side, while Lianzhi and Wen Yunxi took Suyue and Gan Tang to the garment shop for a walk.
"This summer is here, and the eunuch has sent a lot of clothes, but the patterns are all old and old, which are far less beautiful than the folk ones." Wen Yunxi explained to Lianzhi, "You have Su Qing and Su Ying skillful palace maids, and you can change the patterns. The palace maids around me are all a group of wood."
Lian Zhi smiled and said, "The new clothes sent by the eunuchs are indeed not new, but they have done their best. The things that appear in the palace cannot be inconsistent with etiquette at all."
"I also know you are right. The people in the Eunuchs must be considered carefully, but this will inevitably lead to a loss of novelty." Wen Yunxi pulled Lianzhi and said, "I remember General Su's birthday is coming soon. You and the prince's brother must have given gifts. Why not take advantage of the day to pick up gifts, this is your own wish."
Lianzhi didn't expect Lianzhi to understand this: "You are very meticulous in this regard."
"I learned it only when I see the Second Emperor's brother doing this often. The gifts that follow the crowd are given to others. In addition, there is also a special gift that must be presented specifically. Over the years, the Second Emperor's brother has spent a lot of effort on his father, so it is no wonder that his father favors the Second Emperor's brother so much."
"You can see too, why haven't you learned it?"
"We are really not as good as the second emperor's brother in this regard. One year, the second emperor actually found a jade for the father, which surpassed all of us. The second emperor could always find all kinds of rare objects for the father as birthday gifts, but we really couldn't do it."
"The second prince spent a lot of effort on finding these things."
"The second emperor's brother and the Xianfei can both meet the preferences of their father. It was normal for the father to be biased against their mother and son. But after the Mo family affairs, the Xianfei's status in the harem was much worse than before, and she was still favored."
While chatting, the two looked at several stores. Wen Yunxi took a fancy to a few pieces of clothes and Lianzhi bought one. Wen Yunxi was originally planning to buy clothes for Suyue and Gan Tang, but they refused. They usually wear palace maid clothes in the palace, so it would be a waste to buy them.
After walking for a long time, it was already a morning. When the two of them walked out of the garment store, Lianzhi found an old Taoist priest on the opposite side who set up a shed to sell his sword.
"Why are even Taoist priests going out to do business now? It's so strange that they are still selling swords." Wen Yunxi sighed.
Lianzhi walked over, and the old Taoist priest didn't greet him enthusiastically when he saw someone, but just glanced at Lianzhi: "Miss, you can take a look first."
"Don't you introduce it to us? How can we know which one is better?" Wen Yunxi asked.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "You may not be able to see the girl, but the girl beside you has a pair of wise eyes."
Wen Yunxi thought Lianzhi wanted to buy a sword for General Su, so she pulled her to the side: "Wanyang, I know you want to cast General Su's preferences. Giving a sword is really good, but what good can the sword on this small stall be? It's all for children to play with. If you sincerely want to give it, it's better to buy one after passing through a special sword shop later than to buy it here."
The old Taoist priest heard Wen Yunxi's words and shook the fan in his hand and said, "What do you say, this girl? You don't like the sword I sell. The lady beside you may not look down on you."
Before, the old Taoist priest called Lianzhi by a girl, but this time he used his wife. Lianzhi looked at the old Taoist priest vigilantly. Does he know his identity?
The old Taoist priest couldn't see Lian Zhi's vigilance: "This lady, take a closer look. Is there a sword you are interested in here?"
Lianzhi didn't know what the old Taoist priest sold in the gourd. Since the old Taoist priest asked her to choose, she went straight forward to choose. Wen Yunxi couldn't believe that Lianzhi was going to buy a sword here for General Su. She held her forehead and hoped that Lianzhi would not have the selected sword.
