After Jiang Huan's commotion, a lot of guards gathered outside the main hall of Lihuo Palace. The guard was so tight that not even a fly could fly in.
When Mengyu reported the news, all the tea that Jiang Huan had not yet drank spilled on the table.
Her wrists were trembling a little, and her heart was also trembling.
Something is wrong, everything that happened in Lihuo Palace is wrong.
My father suddenly died of illness. After my eldest brother became the king, he hired guards from unknown sources and refused to conduct an autopsy himself. He even protected his coffin.
And the third brother who loves him the most, after sending him back to the palace, he also left on important matters and did not stay for a moment longer.
The current situation is not stable at all. Jiang Huan can't even find anyone to ask questions in this familiar but unfamiliar Lihuo Palace.
"Princess, there are spies everywhere in the palace, and they look like people from the Chen Kingdom." Mengyu replied seriously. During the month she stayed with Jiang Huan in the Chen Kingdom, she got used to seeing people from the Chen Kingdom.
Even though they dressed according to Jiang Guoren's preferences, what was engraved in their bones could never be erased.
Mengyu only needs to smell their scent to know that they are from the Chen Kingdom.
It is extremely rare for Chen State's garrison to be arrogant and domineering in Yuezhong City. Now the guards around the new king are also from Chen State. Could it be...
Mengyu swallowed her doubts and did not dare to say the rest.
Chen Ruyi took a sip of hot tea and lowered her eyebrows slightly, "There is something fishy about this matter. I will write a letter and ask someone to go back to Chen Kingdom to check the message. If this is the fault of the Chen Kingdom royal family, I will give you an answer.
"
Jiang Huan shook his head vigorously, indicating that Chen Ruyi did not need to do this.
Even if Chen Ruyi wants to help him, what can he do?
In the Chen Kingdom royal family, Chen Ruyi is the prince with the least power. Even so, the Jiang Kingdom royal family is controlled by the people of the Chen Kingdom. Even his eldest brother did not know why he stopped him from going to the autopsy. Chen Ruyi was unable to do anything behind the scenes.
He who talks too much in front of others.
Chen Ruyi acted rashly, but instead put herself in front of the person behind the scenes, waiting for that person to come and do something to the Prince's Mansion.
At present, Jiang Huan's only foothold in the Chen Kingdom is the Prince's Mansion. If the Prince's Mansion cannot be saved, how can she save the Jiang Kingdom?
"This is a matter for the Jiang Kingdom. As the direct princess of the Jiang Kingdom, I will naturally handle the matter well. After all, you are the prince of the Chen Kingdom. If you are found to have interfered, it will be difficult to explain in the Chen Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom." Jiang Huan
Slowly exhaling a breath, she frowned, looking uneasy about this matter.
Jiang is facing domestic and foreign troubles. The most important thing at the moment is to expel the Chen garrison from Yuezhong City.
Cavalry Army......
Jiang Huan remained silent, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. When her fingertips were dipped in tea, they drew a strange picture.
There were no rules in that picture, it was just done randomly. Looking at it, Chen Ruyi didn't know what the picture meant.
"Chen Ruyi, I want you to do something for me." As soon as Jiang Huan finished speaking, Chen Ruyi agreed without hesitation, without even thinking about it.
"I want to drive the garrison out of Yuezhong City, so I need you to gather them together and serve wine for me." Jiang Huan said and knocked on the table. Mengyu immediately came to take notes on the table.
picture of.
"I'm going to add poison to the wine, a poison called drunkenness, dreams, and death."
...
"Master! What kind of wine is this? Why does it smell so fragrant?" Xiao Jiang Huan sniffed the sweet aroma in the air greedily. He lay on the high platform and wanted to dip his hand into it and have a taste.
Xiao Jiang Huan has been drinking strong liquor since she was a child, and now smelling the aroma of the wine makes her greedy. She just wants to see what kind of treasure the master has hidden from her.
Salo looked at Xiao Jiang Huan and stretched out her fingers, and quickly grabbed her and snatched her away.
Finally, he didn't forget to check it, for fear that Xiao Jiang Huan might take a bite.
After confirming that Xiao Jiang Huan had not secretly drank the wine, Salo breathed a sigh of relief and scolded, "This is not wine. Don't drink it secretly next time."
"It's not wine?" Xiao Jiang Huan curled her lips, put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks, as if she was very angry, "Master thought I was a child and told such lies without blinking an eye.
It’s clearly wine, and it should be good wine that has been brewed for ten years.”
Salo really had no way to deal with his beloved disciple.
He lifted Xiao Jiang Huan above his head and placed it on his shoulders.
Xiao Jiang Huan sat on Salo's shoulder. She immediately lost her angry expression and swung her legs with great joy. She hugged Salo's neck affectionately and said coquettishly, "Master, Master, tell me."
Well, is the wine in the jar actually the master’s private collection of wine?”
"That's not wine, it's the poison I brewed." Salo said lightly. Xiao Jiang Huan couldn't see his face, but felt that there seemed to be a little sadness in his plain tone, "That's a kind of drink called drunkenness, dreams, and death."
As long as you drink the poison, you will forget everything that happened to you. So, if you drank it secretly just now, you will never remember the master again."
Upon hearing this, the curiosity in Xiao Jiang Huan's heart immediately dissipated.
She pouted and shook her head repeatedly, hugging Salo's neck harder, "I don't want to forget the master. The master treats me better than my father. The master is my second father. I want to remember the master all my life."
of."
Salo laughed out loud when he heard this. He patted Xiao Jiang Huan's instep and said helplessly, "You said that I am your second father. I'm afraid that if the king finds out, he will take my head."
...
The sky was extremely gloomy, and the pitch-black night blocked out the moonlight, making the entire Lihuo Palace seem deathly silent.
There was no sound, the calmness was disconcerting.
Jiang Huan avoided the eyes and found the secret passage.
That was the secret passage she dug out with her third brother Mengyu without telling everyone.
In his previous life, he was able to leave the Lihuo Palace alive because of this secret passage.
What was hidden inside, in addition to the secret passage leaving Lihuo Palace, was also the poison that Jiang Huan had made while leaving his master over the years.
Among them are ten altars of drunkenness and dreams, which are also the most important ones among the poisons that Salo left for her.
Jiang Huan carefully wiped the dust on the wine jar, moving gently for fear of breaking the jar.
"Master, I still need to borrow your power after all." Jiang Huan said to herself, she smiled as if Salo was standing in front of her, "You bless me so that I can win in one fell swoop.
Drive those Chen State garrison out of Yuezhong City and restore peace to Yuezhong City."
