In the room of Jinxiu Inn, He Yilan sat at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said to the person standing next to her: "Envoy Kong, is there any news from my brother!!"
Kong Zheshi walked to the door, opened the door and looked around, then closed the door and turned back to the table, saying: "There is no news about Prince Hexuan yet, but it is certain that Prince Hexuan will be there soon."
In Kyoto, when the time comes, Prince Hexuan will take the initiative to contact us!"
He Yilan frowned, with a face full of uneasiness, and said: "I accompanied the queen to the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison today. There was an assassin who had been tortured, but the assassin didn't look like one of my brother's men.
Could it be that besides that, there are others who want to assassinate Emperor Tianchen!"
As he spoke, He Yilan took out a piece of paper, took a pen and quickly drew the painted face on the paper again according to the appearance in his memory. He picked it up and showed it to Messenger Kong: "Do you remember my brother's men?"
Is there someone like this here?"
Messenger Kong took the portrait and took it to the window to look at it carefully. Suddenly, his squinted eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Princess, this person is not a subordinate of Prince Hexuan, but this face looks so familiar."
, I seem to have seen it somewhere——!”
"Seriously, think carefully about where you have seen this person. He is currently being held in a prison for assassinating Emperor Tianchen. If you know who he is, you will definitely know who is behind him." He Yilan said.
Said with eyes.
Messenger Kong frowned, looked at the portrait carefully, and tried hard to recall where he had seen this person. After a while, his eyes trembled, "Princess, I remembered that a few months ago, I
I went to Lianyun Kingdom with Prince Hexuan to pay tribute, and I saw this man in Lianyun Kingdom!"
He Yilan's face was full of surprise, "What, you have to see clearly, have you really seen this person in Lianyun Kingdom? If people from Lianyun Kingdom come to assassinate Emperor Tianchen, then they must be related to Emperor Lianyun!
"
"That's right, I won't be mistaken. I have indeed seen it in the palace of Lianyun Kingdom!" Kong Zheshi said after confirming again and again: "Emperor Lianyun would rather let Princess Lianyue and his wife come to the imperial court than let Princess Lianyue come to the imperial court.
Princess and Qin Beiteng Kingdom, could it be that they want to use Princess Lianyue and Qin Dynasty to remove Emperor Tianchen from them——"
"It's not impossible, it's just that-" He Yilan sat in front of the table in deep thought, frowning and said: "As far as I know, Princess Lianyue fell in love with Emperor Tianchen at first sight, and she did not hesitate to wait to marry Emperor Tianchen.
After eight years, how could she harm Emperor Tianchen??"
Messenger Kong nodded and frowned: "The lower officials have also heard about Princess Lianyue. Perhaps, Princess Lianyue does not know about it. Emperor Lianyun asked Princess Lianyue and the emperor to have ulterior motives, just like us.
, just to dispel Emperor Tianchen’s doubts and alertness!”
"I'm afraid we have already alerted the snake." He Yilan held the tea cup tightly and frowned: "Once an assassin appears, it will arouse Emperor Tianchen's vigilance and vigilance. Right now, we must not act rashly! That assassin
Regarding this matter, I will go to Princess Lianyue first and give it a try, and then I will make a conclusion."
"What do you want the leader to do?" Kong Zhezhi walked to the table and asked.
"Today the Queen took me to the Tianlao to meet the assassin. She must have some ulterior motives and become wary of us." The more He Yilan thought about it, the more she felt that Mu Tianxue wanted her to paint that portrait. It was impossible to post it in Kyoto.
So simple, she squinted at the picture on the table and said after a few seconds: "Just use this picture to test it!"
"Princess, please be careful not to let the queen notice. I can see that the queen is not a simple character." Kong Zhe made some uneasiness. "No, princess, it would be inappropriate for you to test it yourself. I'd better leave this matter to you."
Let the officials do it! The princess wants to find a way to get closer to the queen, so she can trip her up and know her movements!"
He Yilan nodded, "Then you have to be careful and don't expose any flaws!"
Kong's envoy folded the portrait and put it on his chest, saying: "Don't worry, princess, I will take care of it." After saying that, he left the room.
After Messenger Kong left, He Yilan walked to the window and looked downstairs at the main city streets, checking that there were no people behaving strangely around the inn.
"Your Highness, lunch is ready." At this time, the maid's voice came from outside the door.
He Yilan frowned, withdrew his probing gaze, turned back to the table and said, "Pass the meal!"
The door creaked open, and a maid and a waiter came into the room carrying sumptuous meals. The waiter put down the food and then retreated.
The maid then tried every dish. After confirming that every dish was not poisonous, she said to He Yilan: "Princess, everything is fine, you can eat!"
He Yilan didn't have much taste at first, but after looking at the dishes on the table, he thought they were pretty good, so he picked up his chopsticks and took two bites. They were crisp and refreshing, and tasted good! "Hua Qing, sit down and eat too!"
"Princess, this slave has already eaten. Princess, you haven't eaten a bite of food since arriving in Kyoto until now. You drank a lot of wine at yesterday's banquet. If you don't eat something, your body will not be able to bear it!!"
The maid called Hua Qing said with concern while serving He Yilan.
He Yilan glanced at Hua Qing, picked a few green vegetables and ate them. Seeing Hua Qing keep serving her vegetables, she frowned and was about to ask Hua Qing not to serve her any more.
But I heard a loud "bang——"!!!!!
Hua Qing suddenly fell to the ground, with a trace of black blood spilling from her mouth. She looked at her with pain and said with difficulty: "Princess, don't eat it, it's poisonous!"
He Yilan was startled, dropped the chopsticks in his hand, quickly sealed the acupuncture points in his body, and immediately sat down to practice his energy and poison!!!
The guard outside the door heard the noise coming from the room, and immediately knocked on the door and asked: "Princess, what happened!"
There was no response after knocking on the door. The guard outside quickly pushed the door open and saw that Hua Qing's face turned black and her lips turned purple. She had been poisoned and died. He Yilan's eyebrows were furrowed and she was using her energy to force out the poison!
The two guards quickly walked behind He Yilan and worked together to force the poison out of He Yilan's body!!!
"Pfft--" He Yilan suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the blackness between his eyebrows gradually receded!!!
"Princess, how are you?" When the guard saw He Yilan vomiting poisonous blood, he immediately took out a pill and gave it to He Yilan to take -
"The food was poisoned!" He Yilan's abdomen was in cramps, and a burst of blood suddenly surged out of her throat, and she vomited out the medicine she had taken.
"I'm here to force out the poison for the princess. Go and ask Doctor Tang to come." One of the guards quickly sealed the acupuncture points on He Yilan's body and said to the other guard while using his kung fu to force out the poison for He Yilan.
