The old bustard knocked on the door and went in. He saw the guqin and bamboo flute standing there, and the wine and fruits on the table were still there.
"Second prince? Lan Yue?"
The old bustard stood at the door of the inner room and called softly.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
It stands to reason that Li Jiye might have been too tired to wake up last night, so Lan Yue should be able to hear him and respond.
"Holding the moon?"
The old bustard called again, but there was still no response.
The old bustard felt strange and said: "Second Prince, I have come in."
The old madam opened the door carefully, entered the inner room, and smelled a strange smell.
The smell of incense and blood...
The old madam's heart trembled, and she quickly walked to the bed and saw Lan Yue's clothes had been taken off and she was lying next to Li Jiye.
But Li Jiye's eyes widened, and he lay straight on the bed, blood soaked into the quilt, and he looked dead.
"ah!"
The old bustard screamed and fell to the ground, dumbfounded as he looked at the corpse on the bed.
Sima Rui heard the scream outside the door and immediately rushed into the room.
The two guards had long been itching and couldn't bear it. Thinking of the spring scenery inside, they also rushed in.
When the three of them arrived at the inner room, they saw the old madam slumped on the ground, looking at the bed in horror.
Sima Rui turned around and saw that Li Jiye was completely dead.
The two guards saw the jade body, but before they could get excited, their bodies went cold.
Li Jiye is dead!
"What's going on?"
Sima Rui was stunned.
The old bustard trembled all over and shook his head in horror: "I...I saw the second prince...dead as soon as I came in!"
Sima Rui walked to the bed, grabbed Lan Yue's hair, and asked: "What's going on! Did you kill him?"
Lan Yue's acupoints were tapped and she could not move or speak, she could only stare in horror.
The old bustard said in horror: "Lanyue is just a weak woman. How could she kill the second prince? She doesn't have the ability..."
Sima Rui was not in the mood to enjoy playing with Lan Yue at this time, he just wanted to find the murderer.
Sima Rui saw that Lan Yue's body was not moving, and then he remembered that Lan Yue had been tapped on acupoints.
Sima Rui tapped Lan Yue's body several times, but Lan Yue's acupuncture points could not be opened.
"Master!"
Sima Rui knew that this was a point-pointing by a master, but he was not strong enough to open the acupuncture points.
Leaving Lan Yue behind, Sima Rui was in a state of confusion.
"General, what should we do?"
The two guards were also frightened.
Sima Rui turned around and scolded: "Block the flower boat. The murderer may still be on the boat. Drive the flower boat to the center of the river and don't allow anyone to leave!"
"Zhao Yi, you... you should go back to the palace immediately and report to the Holy One!"
Sima Rui gritted his teeth and said this.
Li Jiye is dead and must be reported to Li Chengdao.
But after Li Chengdao found out, the three of them should die.
If he reported it, he would die. If he didn't report, his family would be confiscated and his clan would be exterminated. Sima Rui still chose to report it.
Guard Zhao Yi bowed with tears in his eyes: "Yes!"
Zhao Yi hurried ashore and rode towards the palace.
The old bustard got up from the ground, stumbled to the first floor, and shouted to Xiaoshou: "Sail the boat, sail the boat, sail to the center of the river, no one is allowed to leave!"
Turtle Master came over and asked strangely: "The time is up, why are you still driving to the center of the river? The guest wants to go back!"
The old madam took out a silk scarf and wiped her face, her face covered with tears and runny nose.
"Stop asking, stop asking!"
The old bustard wanted to cry but had no tears, and wished he could throw himself into the river.
There were still guests on the flower boat who had not disembarked. Seeing that the flower boat was sailing towards the center of the river again, they all came over and asked, "Why don't you dock? What time has it been!"
The old bustard said patiently: "Masters, wait a moment, we will dock soon."
A young man came out and said: "We still have official business. You are delaying the business by not docking, so we are looking for you?"
The old bustard recognized this man as the son of the Minister of Rites.
"Young Master, please bear with me. There is indeed something I need to do. Please bear with me."
The young master scolded him unceremoniously: "Dock the ship immediately!"
Xiaoshou looked at the old madam and didn't know what to do.
The old bustard waved his hands repeatedly: "No, we can't leave, no one can leave!"
The young master became angry and cursed: "Do you want to kidnap us? Get to the shore immediately!"
When the old madam begged, Sima Rui came down from upstairs, held the knife at his waist and shouted: "I am the second prince, Sima Rui, who has joined the army in the royal palace. No one is allowed to leave!"
When everyone saw Sima Rui here, they immediately guessed that the second prince Li Jiye must be there too.
Sima Rui was just a young prince who joined the army. If he dared to speak like this, he must have received orders from Li Jiye.
Everyone calmed down and went back to their rooms, or just sat down in the living room.
ashore.
Long Chen dressed up as a middle-aged wealthy businessman and stood on the shore with Ya'er, looking at the flower boat slowly sailing towards the center of the river.
"I just found out now."
Long Chen smiled coldly.
Ya'er looked back and saw Zhao Yi galloping into the city on horseback, holding a candy man in his hand.
The candy man was made into a little rabbit, and Yaer stretched out her little tongue and licked it slowly.
"Your trick worked."
Ya'er ate very happily.
Long Chen touched Ya'er's little head and said, "Isn't my strategy very clever?"
Ya'er complained: "It's very subtle, but also very vicious! Fortunately, you and the lady are allies. If you deal with us like this, it will be really troublesome."
Long Chen smiled and said: "So, you have to serve me well. If I am happy, you will be safe."
Ya'er licked the candy man and said contemptuously: "Big pervert!"
Seeing that Ya'er was eating happily, Long Chen asked, "Does it feel like your tongue has become much more flexible? In oral skills, practice makes perfect."
Ya'er stopped the candy man in her hand and whispered: "Pervert!"
Long Chen glanced at the restaurant not far away and said, "Let's go there and watch the excitement while eating."
Ya'er immediately said: "I want to order a bunch of delicious food, you owe me."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I will compensate you for whatever you ate last night."
Ya'er snorted: "That's pretty much it."
After entering the restaurant, Long Chen chose a seat by the window and sat down, while Ya'er ordered a bunch of delicious food.
The two of them were watching the flower boats in the restaurant and watching the excitement.
Guard Zhao Yi galloped into Jinling City on horseback and ran all the way to the entrance of the palace.
When the imperial guards saw the guards rushing towards them, they immediately stopped them and scolded them.
Zhao Yi got off his horse, grabbed the imperial guards and said, "Brother, I am Zhao Yi, the bodyguard of the second prince's house. I have something urgent to ask to see Commander Chiang!"
When the imperial guards heard about the guards at Li Jiye's house, they were a little more polite and asked, "Brother, why are you so anxious?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "Brother, please!"
Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't look like he was cheating, the Imperial Guards said, "Brother, wait!"
The Imperial Army hurriedly entered the palace and found Jiang Hui in the room at the city gate.
"Commander, Zhao Yi, the bodyguard of the second prince's residence, said that he has something urgent to see and he looks very urgent!"
After hearing the report from the Forbidden Army, Jiang Hui felt strange. Why were the palace guards looking for him?
Jiang Hui is the commander of the Forbidden Army, responsible for the security and defense of the palace, and is Li Chengdao's confidant.
In his position, it is most taboo to have contact with the prince.
"Why are the guards of the palace looking for me? They're gone!"
Jiang Hui refused.
