Zhao Yuan returned to the palace, feeling aching in his heart. He had thought that after a night of settling down last night, Leng Changxi would at least take into consideration the years of friendship and see him. Who would have thought that she would actually disappear behind closed doors.
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly felt like he had completely lost her, and his heart felt so empty.
"Xiao Bao'er, are you so bearable?" Standing decisively in the courtyard, a glint of light fell from the corner of Zhao Yuan's eyes, dripping into the corner of his mouth, with a strong bitterness.
Zhao Yuan looked up at the sky. The blue sky was covered with a layer of light gray, just like his heart, sinking.
"Master Yuan..." Uncle Li, who was following him, looked at Zhao Yuan's back with some distress. He understood the helplessness and sorrow of this child, but he could do nothing about it.
"Uncle Li, can you call Butler Zhao here? I have something to ask him." Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, suppressed the feeling of sadness in her heart, and clenched her fists in her sleeves.
He only had two days to find the person who harmed his father. Not only for his father, but also for Leng Changxi. He knew that her refusal to meet was just a delay. But he knew it but couldn't do anything.
The feeling of powerlessness almost made him collapse.
I wanted to take her away by force, but I gave up because I knew her temper too well. With her temper, if she really did this, I'm afraid the hatred would be even more difficult to understand.
After half a cup of tea, Butler Zhao was brought over by Uncle Li.
"Master Yuan, what are your orders?" King Xi passed away and Zhao Yuan returned to the palace. It seemed that there was an extra center in the palace. People were originally worried about the palace, but now there was a little more peace.
Butler Zhao had been watching the incident between Zhao Yuan and Leng Changxi all the way. Those misunderstandings and mistakes made him, an outsider, feel distressed when he saw it, let alone the person involved.
"Steward Zhao, I came to see you today mainly for one thing." Zhao Yuan slowly opened her eyes, calmed down, and said in a deep voice.
"Master Yuan's orders." Listening to his serious tone, Butler Zhao suddenly became a little more thoughtful.
"You are the one who knows the most about my father's murder. I believe you also know it well. That green peach is just a pawn. You poisoned my father and then framed the blame on Xiao Bao'er's abandoned son. But she
I refused to say who the person behind it was until my death. It can be seen that the person behind it is definitely not simple, which makes me really uneasy. Besides, that person’s target this time is my father. There is no guarantee that he will not plot against me next time.
On my head. Therefore, I would like to ask Butler Zhao to help me find out the person behind this! To comfort my father’s spirit in heaven." Zhao Yuan did not mention a word about what Leng Changxi said to him, and he had his own calculations in his heart.
.
When Butler Zhao heard what he said, he suddenly felt excited in his heart. He had already considered this matter, but he did not dare to act rashly until he received Zhao Yuan's order.
Now that Zhao Yuan has given the order, he will naturally do his best to investigate.
Regarding the murder of King Xi, Li Bo had already learned the details from Butler Zhao. He was indignant in his heart and wanted to find out the truth. However, the palace was busy with the funeral of King Xi and delayed it. Now there are still two days for King Xi.
After mourning, Uncle Li suddenly remembered that there was a letter in his hand that he wanted to give to Zhao Yuan.
So, he hurriedly reached into his arms, took out the letter and handed it to Zhao Yuan: "Master Yuan, the prince asked me to give this letter to you. I forgot about it in my hurry."
"Father?" Zhao Yuan took the letter, her heart skipped a beat, and she raised her eyebrows.
"On the night when the prince was poisoned, he personally handed it to me and asked me to take him to Lin'an." Uncle Li said with a trace of guilt in his tone.
When Zhao Yuan heard what he said, he frowned and hurriedly opened the letter. When the familiar handwriting suddenly appeared in his eyes, his pupils suddenly closed, his body paused, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Master Yuan..." Seeing Zhao Yuan's suddenly shocked expression, Uncle Li felt uneasy in his heart, fearing that something important was explained in the letter and was delayed by him on the way.
"Uncle Li, before my father was poisoned, was there anything strange in the house?" Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, grabbed the letter into his hand, a fierce look flashed through his eyes, and his heart trembled slightly.
"Weird?" Uncle Li thought about it carefully, but didn't feel anything was wrong, so he shook his head gently.
Zhao Yuan frowned and was about to ask more questions when Butler Zhao hesitantly said: "Mr. Yuan, if anything seems strange, Miss Guo came here the night before the prince was killed."
"Guo Wanrou?" Zhao Yuan's voice was a bit cold.
"Yes!" After being reminded like this, Uncle Li suddenly slapped his head: "Miss Guo came quite suddenly that night. She was wearing a veil, and it didn't seem like she was recognized."
"Then what did she say to her father?" Zhao Yuan's heart felt cold.
"I don't know, but the prince had a secret conversation with her, which only lasted for a cup of tea, and then he saw her leaving in a hurry." Butler Zhao answered truthfully.
"Mr. Yuan, do you doubt the prince's affairs with Miss Guo..." Uncle Li is a smart man. He guessed from Zhao Yuan's expression after reading the letter and what he asked, and he thought of a possibility, and he immediately thought
Shocked.
"Probably not! The prince has always hoped that Mr. Yuan can marry Miss Guo, so Miss Guo should have no reason..." Butler Zhao also guessed a few things from what Uncle Li didn't finish, but the possibility was too high.
It was so shocking that he couldn't believe it.
Besides, Zhao Yuan had just asked the emperor to marry Guo Wanrou. If Guo Wanrou was really the person behind the scenes, things would be complicated. Thinking like this, Butler Zhao turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuan, and saw the look in his eyes.
The bird of prey is even more worried in my heart.
"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Her arrival is too much of a coincidence! There are also father's letters, which are full of fishiness." Zhao Yuan's voice became a little colder. He would never allow anyone to play with him.
Between applause.
"Master Yuan, did the prince reveal anything in the letter?" After hearing what he said, Butler Zhao frowned and asked.
Zhao Yuan thought about it and felt that since Butler Zhao was going to investigate the matter thoroughly, there was nothing to hide, so he handed over the crumpled letter paper in his hand.
Butler Zhao took the paper ball and quickly spread it out, only to see that there was only one short sentence in the letter - Yuan'er, conspire with the tiger, be careful of the tiger's intentions.
Uncle Li leaned closer and looked at the line of words in his eyes. He was suddenly shocked. Although the note was just a reminder, anyone with a discerning eye could see who the person who reminded it was.
When Zhao Yuan was young, King Xi decided to marry the Guo family, and through Guo Wanrou, Zhao Yuan won the support of the entire Guo family in both the government and the public. Naturally, the tiger was referring to the Guo family.
At this moment, Uncle Li regretted extremely that he had delayed such a big matter. If he had handed this letter to Zhao Yuan earlier, he might not have proposed to the Holy Emperor: "Master Yuan, this is all my fault.
,if……"
Zhao Yuan naturally knew that he was blaming himself, but since the incident had already happened, blaming himself was of no use, so he raised his hand and interrupted him: "It's a very important matter, so don't be careless. After all, it's the Guo family. We must investigate it carefully and thoroughly."
!If you really let me know that it was Guo Wanrou who moved her hand, then don’t blame me for being cruel!"
