This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 424 Investigate the news
After staying in the Prince's Mansion for two consecutive days, Wen Ruyan never saw Princess Changle again, let alone the legendary little prince.There are only a few cleaning servants in the front yard of the huge Prince's Mansion all day long, and the usual ones are a bit weird.

And after getting along with those servants for the past two days, Wen Ruyan also insinuated some news from those servants.

Ye Zhen, Princess of Changle, originally had a gentle and kind personality, and was deeply loved by the people in the capital. On weekdays, her attitude towards the servants in the mansion was surprisingly good. It was as if they had changed into a different person.

When she usually goes out, she still has a gentle temperament in front of the people, but when she returns to the mansion, her personality and temper will become particularly irritable. There are already many servants in the mansion who have been severely punished by her for making a small mistake. He was severely punished.

For a moment, the servants of the entire Prince's Mansion were walking on thin ice, and they were even more cautious on weekdays, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

These are not secrets, Wen Ruyan naturally has the ability to find out from those servants.

In the past two days and nights, Wen Ruyan also went to the back, but the prince's mansion is too big. After entering the front yard, there is a clear lake, and on the lake is a corridor extending in all directions. The corridor was full of long pavilions and pavilions, and even in the middle of the night, the guards of the Prince's Mansion never let up, and their guards were really tight.

It took Wen Ruyan nearly an hour to go around the guards and roughly determine where the princess and the prince lived, but when he was just approaching there, he accidentally touched a silver thread as thin as silk under his feet. In an instant, there were bursts of wind chimes in the entire corridor, and then two old men in black suddenly jumped out of the attic not far away.

"He Fangxiao is young, dare to trespass on the prince's mansion!"

As the voice fell, there were bursts of piercing sounds in the air at that time, and more than a dozen faint lights flashed along the moonlight.

Fortunately, Wen Ruyan was not very human, he had already reacted when he first touched the silver thread, kicked his feet and jumped outside, just as his body jumped out of the corridor, an image appeared on the lacquered red pillar in an instant. Picked up a dozen silver needles.

The tip of the needle penetrated close to an inch, leaving only the tail trembling slightly outside.

"What a deep internal force."

Although Wen Ruyan dodged the blow, his face changed slightly. After that, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and he used his strength to float away on the lake.

After the two black-clothed old men landed, they looked at the back of Wen Ruyan who had disappeared into the night, and a trace of solemnity appeared on their faces at the same time.

"This person's lightness kung fu is amazing!" One person said seriously.

"Don't chase, be careful of the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, the most important thing is to protect the prince." Another person also said with a serious expression.

Not long after the two of them moved, bursts of candlelight lit up in the attic behind them.

About half a moment later, Ye Zhen, who was dressed in palace attire, walked over slowly accompanied by her maid.

"Who was it just now? Did you two see clearly?" Ye Zhen parted her cherry lips lightly, and her cheeks that could be broken by bullets were also covered with chills.

"This person's lightness kung fu is too high, the two of us didn't see it clearly, so I ask the princess to forgive me." An old man clasped his fists and said.

Ye Zhen narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "Even you didn't see it clearly, could it be that the person who came is one of the two priests in the uncle's mansion?"

Speaking of which, Ye Zhen continued to whisper to herself: "Uncle Huang is getting more and more impatient."

After that night, Wen Ruyan never went to the back. The two men in black were very skilled in martial arts that night. Presumably it was Princess Changle who arranged protection for the prince. Those two men lived deep in the courtyard. And at that time, he didn't rush to chase him, probably because he was worried about the prince's safety.

Princess Changle's arrangement is so cautious, but she also indirectly told Wen Ruyan that the situation between her and the prince is indeed not good now.

Could it be that she was afraid that King Heshuo would assassinate the prince?

It should be so.

Although King Heshuo now has his own army to control the government, Emperor Qi is not dead yet. Even if Emperor Qi dies, the crown prince will still be the rightful successor of Daqi. The prince cannot stay.

If something happens to the crown prince, after Qi Huang returns to heaven, he can naturally become the emperor of Da Qi.

At that time, even if someone suspects that the prince's accident was caused by him, so what?Without evidence everything is in vain.

Many people can guess this point now, and Princess Changle can naturally think of it, so Prince Qi has been well protected by her, and no surprises can be tolerated.

Wen Ruyan sees this very clearly, and the purpose of his trip is to prevent King Heshuo from ascending the throne.

It seems that I still have to protect Prince Qi's safety.

Wen Ruyan let out a long sigh, and then frowned slightly.

Protecting the safety of Prince Qi is indeed not too difficult. If King Heshuo does not want to kill the king and usurp the throne and bear the infamy, he will not blatantly harm the prince in broad daylight. With the two men in black arranged by the princess, he won't be able to win so easily.

The reason why Wen Ruyan frowned slightly at this moment was because he couldn't figure out one thing, that is, what kind of person is this Changle Princess Ye Zhen?

According to the servants, this princess of Changle, Ye Zhen, has been gentle and graceful since she was a child, but why did she become like this overnight?
Even if Qi Huang's serious illness and inability to return to the sky have dealt a big blow to her, it is impossible to completely change a person's character, right?

Gentle and graceful, cold and irritable, which one is her true face?
The night is getting darker.

The chilly autumn wind rustled the dead branches and fallen leaves outside Wen Ruyan's room. Wen Ruyan stepped to the window with his hands behind his back, looked up at the silver moon in the sky, and his thoughts drifted away.

Day two.

early morning.

Wen Ruyan, who was dressed as a servant, came to the front yard to clean up as usual. After two days of recuperation, his 'lame leg' that was hit by a carriage has improved a lot. It's not like the limp when he first entered the mansion.

Several little maids who had finished their work gathered together and looked at Wen Ruyan, who was sweeping the floor, pointing and laughing, and not long after, one of the little maids was pushed out by the crowd, and that little maid immediately made a fuss A big red face.

She turned her head and looked at her little sisters uneasily, but heard them keep saying: "Go, go, what are you afraid of! The princess and the housekeeper will not come out at this hour."

Wen Ruyan, who was sweeping the floor, naturally saw their little movements from the corner of his eye. Although the expression on his face was calm, there was a wry smile in his heart.

In the past two days, because he wanted to inquire about the news, he did not seldom talk to these little maids. Although his face after changing his appearance looked very ordinary at the moment, he usually spoke witty words and occasionally showed his talent. I really got along well with these little girls.

After all, these inexperienced little girls are easy to deceive.
The little maid who was pushed out had a red face on her face, and held her hands on her lower abdomen for a long time, then she mustered up the courage to walk up to Wen Ruyan, and said, "Brother Liu, are you tired? How about me?" Clean it up for you?"
