In addition to the bodies of three men in black, there was also a woman wearing a jade dress in Tao Ranju's courtyard. Qingxiao recognized Qinglan's body at a glance. He looked surprised and kept making assumptions in his mind. For this reason, after all, he had been to Tao Ranju before, and everything was normal here, but it had only been a few hours, so how could it be like this now?
"Your Majesty, there is a shadow moving in the room." Suddenly, Mo Yun raised his finger and pointed to the main room and exclaimed.
Nangong Yu immediately looked around. It was dawn, but candles were still burning in the house. The candlelight danced, and the figure on the bed could be vaguely swayed. He clenched his fists and rushed in with an evil spirit all over his body.
"Bang", the door was opened with great force, Shui Lianyue was slightly startled, looking at the angry Nangong Yu, thinking secretly, she didn't expect him to come so fast.
"My lord, my lord." Dongxue froze. She was closest to Nangong Yu, and she could easily feel the strong evil aura on his body, which was also frighteningly cold.[
Nangong Yu stepped into the main room, first glanced at Hongying lying on the ground, and then walked to the back room, and saw Shui Lianyue falling to the ground. At this time, he was doing his breathing exercises, and the bed was covered in blood and already dead. It was clear rain, and Qiu Ye was lying next to her, with her eyes closed, her arms a ball of bright red, the wound wrapped in white cloth, looking at Shui Lianyue's pale face, and the blood stains on the corners of her mouth that were not yet dry, Nangong Yu's heart sank again, and his doubts about her were reduced by half.
"What the hell is going on?" He frowned and shouted coldly in a low voice. Shui Lianyue just glanced at him lightly, and said with a hint of contempt on her lips: "Then I need to ask the prince how many enemies you have. ”.
Nangong Yu's dark eyes suddenly turned cold after hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qing Niao walking in quickly, looking a little flustered. He held a scimitar and a token in his hand and handed it over, "Your Majesty, you look".
He lowered his head and looked over, his body stiffened, and he was filled with anger that he wanted to shoot straight into the sky. The same scimitar was the same as the one he brought back, and there was also the token with the word "royal" engraved on it. .
Then, he looked up at Shui Lianyue, with a hint of inquiry in his cold eyes. She was Nangong Ling's pawn, why did Nangong Ling send someone to kill her? This shouldn't be the case.
Shui Lianyue rolled her eyes at Nangong Yu, slowly closed her eyes, and began to exercise and adjust her breathing. She had thought about this matter carefully. If she could use this matter to make Nangong Yu less wary of her, and It was a good thing for her not to let Nangong Ling suspect that she had other intentions. At this time, she really didn't need to say anything more to Nangong Yu.
After a long time, Nangong Yu withdrew his probing gaze. Several thoughts passed through his mind. In addition to his suspicion of Shui Lianyue being reduced, his guard was also slightly relaxed. Perhaps, Nangong Ling was just using Shui Lianyue to divert his attention. ?
"Mo Yun, send some good supplements to Tao Ranju. Also, go to Ting Lanxuan to transfer Pei'er to take care of the princess."
Mo Yun was startled, and she accepted the order unwillingly. Since the prince was so angry that he couldn't say much, she could only glare at Shui Lianyue fiercely.
"Qingxiao, send someone to clean up this place, and then come to Jinhuaju", Nangong Yu ordered in a deep voice, but his eyes were still fixed on Shui Lianyue, the cold color on her face slightly dissipated, and her expression "Although he is pale, he still has the strength to mock him, which proves that he will not die.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Qing Niao said respectfully.
Nangong Yu slowly turned around and left. When he reached the door of the room, he turned his head and glanced at the back room. Although his doubts about Shui Lianyue in his heart were reduced, he still couldn't figure out that the chess piece that Nangong Ling placed in the palace was not there yet. How come he can't wait to eradicate it when it works?
Also, Nangong Ling has been secretly fighting with him for many years, and he also knows how deeply Nangong Ling wants to kill him, but such a blatant assassination is definitely a stupid act. Nangong Ling is cautious and insidious, so he should not do this. Could it be that, suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind? Could it be that Nangong Ling couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to break through this layer of paper?
After Nangong Yu left Tao Ranju, Qing Niao immediately dispatched the guards in the house to clean up the mess in Tao Ranju. He also ordered people to send some exquisite furniture and pieces of silk and satin. They worked hard until early morning before leaving, while Qinglan He and Qingyu's bodies were also taken away by him. Looking at Qingniao's behavior, Shui Lianyue's heart sank. She knew that Qingniao was a master of medical skills. If he carefully examined the wounds of Qinglan and Qingyu, You will definitely find clues.
After Qing Niao left, Mo Yun came to Tao Ranju with a maid who was pretty and well-behaved.
"My slave Pei'er has met the princess." Pei'er knelt on the ground and saluted Shui Lianyue. Mo Yun stood beside her, with a hint of arrogance in her charming appearance. Shui Lianyue leaned on the bedside. , she could see Mo Yun's expression through the white gauze curtain, but she just curled her lips and ignored it, and then she looked at Pei'er with a sharp look in her phoenix eyes, but she saw that her figure was weak and her arms He is slightly stout and has some grayish-white calluses on his wrists, which shows that they are the result of years of hard work and not any martial arts skills.
She nodded slightly and said softly: "Get up. You and Dongxue will go to the side room later. During this period, you and Dongxue can take turns taking care of Qiuye and Dongxue. I will call you if anything happens. There is no need for me to I’m summoning you not to enter the main room and disturb my princess’ rest, do you understand?”
Pei'er stood up, lowered her head, and said in a soft voice: "I understand, I understand."
"The prince sent a maid to take care of the princess. Why did the princess ask Pei'er to take care of those slaves?" Mo Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at the white gauze tent with a sarcastic look on his face, very dissatisfied with Shui Lianyue's arrangement.[
Shui Lianyue frowned slightly and moved her eyes to Mo Yun. Looking at the sarcasm on her face, she just replied indifferently: "Since you are a slave, you must obey the master's arrangements, right?"
Mo Yun was stunned, knowing that there was something in Shui Lianyue's words, and that he was clearly mocking her. His fingertips immediately clenched, and there was a hint of anger on his charming face, but he endured it without getting angry. What the prince thinks of Shui Lianyue now Something has changed. If she gets into trouble, I'm afraid the prince will blame her. She glanced at Pei'er without leaving a trace, and the angry "color" on her face dissipated. "Huh, bitch, I will let you use your words today." , are you worried that your aunt will not be able to teach you a lesson in the future?
"If the princess doesn't have any instructions, Mo Yun will leave first." Then, Mo Yun lowered his head slightly and said something before turning around and walking out. Shui Lianyue didn't bother to tangle with her. At this troubled time, she had no intention of arguing with her. Mo Yun cares, she is a master of using poison, which is the most difficult thing to guard against, but if she really dares to poison her, she doesn't mind getting rid of her.
Thinking of this, Shui Lianyue's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, and it disappeared in an instant. She waved her hand towards Pei'er and said a little tiredly: "Go down to find Dongxue, she will tell you what to do, my princess." I need to rest for a while, I don’t need you to serve me for the time being.”
"Yes, Princess," Pei'er received the order, turned around and exited the main room.
It rained heavily last night, but today the sun is shining brightly. The hot weather quickly dried up the areas washed by the rain. Taoranju returned to normal again. Birds were chirping around them, and cicadas kept making annoying sounds to inform people. Summer is still here.
In the imperial study room of the palace, Nangong Ling slapped the dragon table with his palm. The anger in his eyes wanted to devour the person in front of him. The dragon's power was trembling all over his body. Even the always shrewd little Lingzi couldn't help but tremble. Dare to say anything more, and the secret guard kneeling under the dragon table buried his head on his chest, and the atmosphere seemed a bit stagnant.
"Nangong Yu," Nangong Ling squeezed out these three words through her teeth, with a ferocious expression on her face, "I didn't expect that the reason he sent the letter to Xiao Tian was to collect food privately. Doesn't he really have Wang Fa in his eyes?" Are you there? Or do you really think that I can't do anything to him? Hum, as long as I am still sitting on this dragon throne, I am the emperor of Jin Xi, and I will not tolerate him being so presumptuous."
"Pa", there was another loud noise, and the memorial on the Long Case was shaken and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down your anger. Please take care of your dragon body." The little Lingzi on the side couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees on the ground, choking with sobs.
"How can I not be angry? Over the years, although I have hated him, I still care about a trace of brotherhood. Otherwise, I would have stripped him of the title of prince, convicted him, and executed him. But he What? One thing on the surface, another behind the scenes, I even tolerated the assassination of the Queen Mother, and the good people let him do it, and what did I gain? Narrow-mindedness, jealousy, imperial majesty, cruelty, the bad people all let me do it , Now, he is collecting grain without permission? He is trying to rebel."
Nangong Ling became more and more excited as he spoke, as if Nangong Yu was the Long Ben in front of him. He pressed Long Ben with both hands angrily, wishing to crush Long Ben into pieces. The secret guard below glanced at Nangong Ling and cautiously He opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Maybe this is King Yu's way of provoking the generals. People around King Yu have always been cautious. The Emperor has not caught anything against him for so many years, and his subordinates can easily intercept this letter." The letter had to make the subordinates doubt King Yu’s motives.”
After listening to the secret guard's words, Nangong Ling gradually calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that these words were unreasonable. He had not caught anything against Nangong Yu for so many years. This letter clearly showed the intention of treason. , he shouldn't be so stupid, there must be some clues to this matter.
"Xiao Lingzi, you go to Prince Yu's Mansion and tell him that I will hold a banquet at Chengfu Palace at noon and let him come into the palace." After a while, the ferocity on Nangong Ling's face faded, but there was something more in his eyes. Weird.
Xiao Lingzi was startled and couldn't help but look at Nangong Ling and asked, "Is it inappropriate for the emperor to summon Prince Yu to the palace at this time?"
"Hey", Nangong Ling waved his hand and sneered: "There was a time when he and I had never been alone together. The weather is very good today, so it would be good to talk to him about brotherhood. I have my own opinions on the rest. You have to ask more, just go ahead."
"Yes, Your Majesty", Xiao Lingzi respectfully exited the imperial study room.
Prince Yu's Mansion
"What"? Nangong Yu stared at Qing Niao in shock, "the letter sent to Luchang County was intercepted by Nangong Ling's secret guards"?
Qing Niao lowered his head slightly. He didn't dare to look at Nangong Yu's face. Standing in front of him, he could feel the bone-chilling chill radiating from the prince's body, "Yes, Nangong Ling's secret guards are very insidious and vicious. Not only did they steal After getting the letter, he also killed the person who delivered the letter. When the people from Lingyun Gate arrived, the secret guard had already escaped."
"Damn it", Nangong Yu suddenly frowned, the murderous intent in his black eyes became stronger, the veins on his forehead popped out, and in an instant, a kind of aura that could destroy the world and destroy the world burst out.
