Chapter 60 Amazing Four
Leng Suxin was stunned, and her eyes flashed with doubt. Could it be that there were actually other people at that time?
Qin Yunuan understood the meaning of Leng Suxin. In order to appease Leng Suxin, she just said, "I'm just guessing. After all, the third prince at that time was only ten years old. Even if he was meticulous and vicious, no one helped him. How could he find out the details of Weiyang Palace and send people to sprinkle kerosene in Weiyang Palace in advance?"
"I also doubt it." It's not that Leng Suxin didn't think about this problem, but she was too young to be afraid at that time.
"Now is not the time to think about this." Qin Yunuan took a look at the mess on the ground and the broken arrows on the pillar. The top priority was to hide all this. She couldn't let her opponent know that there were casualties here. She wanted to create a look that she had already recognized the other party's tricks and prepared early. The more powerful she looked, the more anxious the other party would be. At that time, Naturally, the horse's feet will be exposed.
Leng Su was shocked, but the way she was afraid that she had never liked to show her expression on her face was also quiet. Qin Yunuan comforted her for a while, that is, she took advantage of the night to bring the injured Man'er back to the yard. Most of the lights in the yard had been extinguished, but the candlelight in Leng Changxi's study was still shining.
"Man'er." Leng Wu was originally guarding at the door, but as soon as he saw that Man Er had fainted on his back, he even forgot to stick to this duty.
"Brother," Leng Shuang reminded with a cold face, "You are now responsible for the general's safety. Pay attention to what you should do."
It was the first time I saw my sister educate my brother in front of so many people, but Leng Wu also listened to it with a good temper, but his eyes had been sticking to the injured Man'er, and the full heart was clearly seen by ordinary white people.
Qin Yunuan hurriedly entered the study and gently closed the door. Leng Changxi was lying on the case and carefully studying several evidence provided by his subordinates, but he had not had a very clear clue for a long time. Seeing Qin Yunuan pushing the door in, his eyebrows slightly stretched out and inviting Qin Yunuan to come over.
"You see, these are scraped from under the soles of the assassin's shoes." Leng Changxi pointed to the black soil in a white paper bag and said, "Isn't it familiar?"
Qin Yunuan stared at Leng Changxi and said in a deep tone, "Fair, you and I should remember that this is the mud of green begonia."
Leng Changxi's slender fingers paused slightly, and a wooden spoon containing mud in his hand inadvertently loosened. His face did not change, but his heart suddenly fell empty.
"Then do you think this green begonia should be in the palace or..." Leng Changxi's tone was slightly choke. For the first time, he actually felt a sense of powerlessness that could not speak.
Qin Yunuan knew what he was afraid of and what he was worried about. Qin Yunuan bent down gently, put her hands around Leng Changxi's neck, and said softly, "Fair, although I don't want to say it, you and I should face the truth. This mud is so new that it must have been stained soon, from Yongchang Palace to the courtyard of the four girls. It will take at least an hour for me to avoid so many guards. This dirt is in the mother's yard. The person who wants to kill me is the mother's concubine.
"Impossible," Leng Changxi said subconsciously, as if she was comforting herself and persuading others. "My mother has raised me for 20 years. I remember that she is not my biological mother, but she is better than my biological mother. For me, she can risk her life."
"Actually, you already knew, didn't you?" Qin Yunuan held Leng Changxi's cheeks with both hands. Leng Changxi's deep eyes met with Qin Yunuan's tender eyes. "You are so powerful that you can solve the big case so quickly, but only the case that the central palace caught fire, you still stay in place after investigating for so long, because you find this place every time. When you walk, you will always deliberately avoid the truth. My father-in-law, wake up.
Leng Changxi lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. At this time, he was as weak as an ignorant child. After a long time, he said, "My mother treats me very well, better than my own child and takes good care of me."
"It's because she loves you so much," Qin Yunuan continued. "That's why she tried her best to monopolize you. When she found that you valued me, she deliberately wanted to get rid of me. She found that you were actually the eldest princess's son and the eldest princess was still living well in the Weiyang Palace, afraid that the eldest princess would one day. It will take you back and work with the third prince to create the fire in the Weiyang Palace, because the heartache of childbirth and so on are all fake. The mother and concubine is a stone girl, and it is impossible to have children in her life, and you are actually just a fantasy of her children and grandchildren.
Leng Changxi didn't say anything, but Qin Yunan hugged Leng Changxi tighter. She kissed Leng Changxi's forehead: "Father, I know you feel uncomfortable. You can understand so many people's hearts, but you only misread your mother's concubine. You love your mother's concubine, and she also loves you, but she loves you too crazy. If you indulge her again, I'm afraid , she will only keep hurting the people around you.
Yes, isn't Leng Changxi's biological mother, the eldest princess, die like this? Now Princess Ning has attacked Qin Yunuan again and again. She was only framed before, but now she has blatantly sent assassins to assassinate. Who knows what will happen next time?
Leng Changxi nodded, took a deep breath, and his face recovered as before. He replied softly, "I know."
The palace banquet was held in the Begonia Palace on time. Most of them were the women who had not left the cabinet, so that Murong Feng, the envoy of Xixia, who attended today, could make a good choice. Naturally, the prestigious family like the Ning Palace also had to attend. Princess Ning took Qin Yunuan to the banquet and greeted some noble women around her one by one. Huh.
Princes Ning looks a little tired today. Although there is a strong smile on the corners of her eyebrows and lips, the thick eye bags under her eyelids, even under the cover of this powder.
"Didn't the mother have a good rest last night?" Qin Yunuan asked with a look of concern.
Princes Ning glanced at Qin Yunuan with her spare light and said with a gentle smile, "It's okay, but there is a mouse in the corner of the room chattering in the dark, which makes people unable to sleep."
Qin Yunuan smiled: "Oh? And then? The mother has always been kind-hearted, and she must be reluctant to deal with this mouse.
"You can't say that," Princess Ning said, "Although I'm kind-hearted, I also see who it is. Naturally, I have to get rid of this kind of beast that digs the wall and makes people feel uneasy."
Since last night, the previous relationship between Princess Ning and Qin Yunuan has become delicate. Princess Ning has dealt with Qin Yunuan so many times, and even sent a killer directly last night. It can be seen that Princess Ning's patience for Qin Yunuan has approached the limit and can no longer make such a kind look.
Empress Chen has gone, and the new queen has not yet been decided, so today's banquet has been accompanied by the emperor by the highest-ranking concubine Yun in the palace. The concubine Yun, who has just recovered from a serious illness, looks a little sickly and beautiful, and her tender eyes have been spinning on the emperor, even if There is no scruples in this public. Now that the establishment of the new queen has been put on the agenda, she really needs to work harder.
Man'er whispered when she put on Qin Yunuan's clothes, "I saw that Yun Guifei was more arrogant than before. Everyone is saying that this Yun Guifei must be the best candidate for the queen. Third Young Master, should we also consider changing our strategy?"
"No need," Qin Yunuan took a sip of tea indifferently. The good Biluochun was cooked with new snow on the plum blossoms, leaving a fragrance in her mouth. "The queen did not see the appearance, nor the degree of the emperor's favor, but the courage and ability to co-gate the six palaces. Queen Chen's only made Yun Guifei more than one illness. Moon, be the queen? Concubine Yun is not qualified enough. I think the Yang Cairen next to Concubine Yun is good, brave, resourceful and decisive. I heard that she has recently been promoted to a position and became concubine Rong, which is worth noting.
nodded and responded.
After a while, all the guests sat down. Murong Feng, the envoy of Xixia, sat down in plain clothes with obvious Xixia style, with a handsome face and beautiful eyebrows, which had made many of the boudoir daughters present excited.
Murong Feng opened his mouth in a soft tone, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, which made people feel comfortable. After enjoying a song and dance, Murong Feng bowed to Emperor Zhaoxuan and said, "Daqi's song and dance are really magnificent and gorgeous, beyond Xixia."
Emperor Zhaoxuan was flattered very happily and said with a smile, "Mr. Murong said this early. If you see our next performance of Daqi Xiaofengxian, you will be even more amazed."
After saying that, the servant around her cooperated to extinguish the candlelight halfway. The dark candlelight created a mysterious and leisurely feeling for the whole hall. This is, the sound of the guqin sounded and approached a slender veiled woman from outside the hall. She gave a slight courtesy, followed by her waist and a straight and neat sleeve. Throwing away the dance, the water sleeve was sometimes soft and entangled, sometimes full of strength and changeable. I thought this was all the wonderful things. Unexpectedly, the little phoenix turned around and opened her mouth to sing, singing the most widely circulated folk song in the south of the Yangtze River, singing and dancing, each of which was enjoyable.
After a song and dance, the candlelight was gas again. Emperor Zhaoxuan took the lead in applauding, and then there were applause and praise throughout the whole hall. Murong Feng, who came from afar, was even more fresh and praised, but the woman who shocked the four seats in the middle was still wearing a veil and speechless. In addition to salute, even There is no intention of taking off the veil.
This inevitably made Emperor Zhaoxuan feel a little unhappy.
"Okay, since everyone likes your dance and singing so much, take off the veil so that everyone can see your appearance."
Qin Yunuan raised a cup of wine without hurry and was not in a hurry to drink it. She just rubbed the edge of the wine cup back and forth, which was the signal between her and Leng Suxin.
The woman in the center nodded and generously took off the veil. At the moment when the veil fell to the ground, someone recognized it.
"Isn't this the four girls in Ningwang Mansion?"
