Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 327

There is a lake fifteen miles north of Anzhou Fucheng, called Luliu Lake.The entire lake has a radius of two or three miles. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, and the lake bank is shaded by green willows. The scenery is beautiful and it is a famous scenic spot in Anzhou.

Whenever it is hot in midsummer, rich gentry and big families in Anzhou Prefecture will come here to escape the summer heat and go boating on the lake.Every night, the boats on the lake are brightly lit, and the lake embankment is crowded with people, which is very lively.

For convenience, Prince An's Mansion also built a villa next to the Green Willow Lake.

It is now late October and the weather is getting colder.Except for the sporadic fishing boats on the lake, the shore of the lake is deserted, and there is no lively scene at night in summer.

Shen Yuexi stood on the embankment of the lake, looking at the villa on the opposite bank.

The three of them came here according to the information. Xia Lan stayed in the grove to guard the horses. She and Yang Cong went to the lake embankment to look for the target.

At first, I thought it would take some time to find it, but I didn't expect the target to be so conspicuous, and I saw it at a glance.

Different from the buildings scattered around the lake, there is a post at three steps and a post at five steps outside this manor.The sergeant held torches and surrounded the entire courtyard.This kind of formation can only be achieved by Prince An's Mansion. Doctor Hua and his son should be here.

Although she had found her target, Shen Yuexi was troubled in her heart.With so many soldiers guarding the manor, how do they get in?

"Look, master, the prison cart is here." Yang Cong pointed to the official road not far away.

A procession came from the south, all soldiers armed with knives and guns, and in the center of the procession was a prison cart.The night was too heavy, and the two were far away. Although the soldiers in front of the prison car were holding torches, Shen Yuexi still couldn't see who was in the prison car.

She said to Yang Cong: "If the information is correct, this person should be the poisoner. Why did he come to this manor? Let's take a closer look."

Although it was already night, she was afraid of being discovered by the other party, so she approached carefully, and squatted down behind the side of the road with Yang Cong.

When the prison car came close, Shen Yuexi poked her head out to look, took a look and then retracted immediately.Seeing her nervous face, Yang Cong was about to ask, but Shen Yuexi waved her hand to signal her not to speak.

It wasn't until the prison car entered the gate of the manor and the road became quiet again that Shen Yuexi got up and said, "It really is him."

Yang Cong asked curiously, "Who did the poisoning?"

"Lin Kui," Shen Yuexi pulled Yang Cong up and said, "I should have guessed that it was this bastard who poisoned him."

When she and Xiao Zhuo attended Xiao Beiheng's banquet before, Lin Kui had poisoned Xiao Zhuo to death, she rushed in and made a big fuss, resolving the crisis.This time it was reasonable for Lin Kui to poison the anti-fetal medicine by taking advantage of being an official in the court.

Yang Cong asked puzzledly: "Master, even if he poisoned you, why did he come to this place?"

"I don't know, this is a bit strange..."

Shen Yuexi was contemplating, when Yang Cong who was next to him jumped up and drew his knife in a panic: "Who patted me on the shoulder?"

"Don't be nervous, it's me." Ji Yunyan's voice sounded with a smile behind the two of them.

Yang Cong turned around and saw that it was Ji Yunyan. He breathed a sigh of relief, put the knife back into its sheath, and said, "Why did you touch it without making a sound, and almost scared me to death."

Shen Yuexi also turned around, pleasantly surprised: "Sister Ji is here too."

Ji Yunyan was wearing a black dress with a veil covered, if she hadn't been standing in front of the two of them, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"You said I was scary...you scared me to death," Ji Yunyan looked at Shen Yuexi, "There are rumors in the capital that you were poisoned to death in Shengjing, why did you show up here?"

"That's fake news," Shen Yuexi said, "The other party did poison me, but I didn't let them succeed."

Ji Yunyan said: "You, I said earlier that Xiao Beiheng would definitely attack you, but you just didn't take it seriously. Fortunately, I escaped this time, otherwise I would have died twice."

Shen Yuexi patted her lower abdomen in embarrassment: "I know I was wrong, ah, that's right...how did Sister Ji come here?"

Ji Yunyan said: "Didn't you send someone to inform me to save Dr. Hua and his son? We arrived in the capital last night and heard rumors from the people on the street that you were poisoned to death. Mrs. Li didn't believe it, saying that my niece and daughter-in-law were smart and clever, how could I be poisoned?" Well, it must be a rumor."

When Shen Yuexi was praised, she would feel a little flustered, and said with a smile: "My aunt still understands me very well."

Ji Yunyan smiled and said, "That's what I said."

After she settled Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, she came to Anzhou overnight.The next day, he arrived at Anzhou Fucheng at dinner time. He went to Anwang's mansion non-stop to investigate and found that Anwang's mansion was heavily guarded. After searching, he learned that Xiao Beiheng had put Su Mo under house arrest in the mansion.But she didn't care about this matter, she just went to find Doctor Hua's whereabouts.

She searched and searched but couldn't find Dr. Hua and his son, so she had to leave, and went to the city to inquire again, and learned that there was a mansion of Prince An's Mansion beside the Green Willow Lake, so she hurried over and met a horse watcher in the forest. Xia Lan, after handing over the horse to Xia Lan, she came to look for Shen Yuexi.

"The person in the prison car just now is called Lin Kui," Shen Yuexi said to Ji Yunyan, "He is the one who poisoned me."

Ji Yunyan said: "Lin Kui? I heard Grandpa mention this person, he seems to have been Xiao Beiheng's staff..."

"It's him. It's just a little strange, why did he come to this place," Shen Yuexi said, "Sister Ji, you have superb martial arts skills, please go into the villa and see if you can find anything."

If there is anyone who can enter such a heavily guarded place, it is only Ji Yunyan.She can even come and go freely to the camp of King Qi's army, so this matter is naturally a piece of cake.

Ji Yunyan said: "Okay, I'll sneak in and have a look first, you just go to Xia Lan and wait for me to come back."

After discussing it properly, Ji Yunyan separated from the two and went outside the villa alone.

Although the sergeants guarding the villa tightly surrounded the courtyard, it was not difficult for Ji Yunyan.She took advantage of a sergeant dozing off while holding his halberd, sneaked past him without a sound, ran two quick steps, and used her strength to climb up the courtyard wall.

Lin Kui had already been released from the prison van, and was escorted by several sergeants into a room in the side yard.He stumbled as he walked, and seemed to be suffering a lot.

Ji Yunyan walked along the ridge to the top of the room where Lin Kui was, and gently opened a gap in the roof tiles, and the voices and lights in the room were revealed from the gap at the same time.

"Prince Ping, I was wronged," Lin Kui was talking bitterly, "I really didn't inflict the poison. Song Zhen is definitely avenging his own private revenge. Now my official position has also been cut. I am really miserable..."

Hearing King Ping's words, Ji Yunyan thought, "Xiao Beiheng is actually here?"

She held the sword hilt behind her shoulder with her backhand, hesitated for a while, and finally let go, lifted the tile a little bit and looked into the room.

The room below was brightly lit.Xiao Beiheng was wearing a purple robe and sitting in a chair, with the Yan Que Sword on his lap.At the bottom is Lin Kui, who is kneeling on the ground, wearing a prison uniform and disheveled hair, crying and accusing Song Zhen of how he abused him.

"He didn't distinguish between black and white, insisted that I was the one who poisoned him, and even ordered someone to torture me. I really couldn't stand it...that's why he tortured me."

"Enough," Xiao Beiheng raised his hand to stop Lin Kui from continuing, "Of course I know you were wronged, otherwise what would I do to save you?"

Lin Kui kowtowed excitedly: "If you hadn't stopped the prison car, when I was taken to Shengjing, King An would definitely cut me into pieces. I will never see you again, King Ping."

Xiao Beiheng snorted and said, "You have been following me for so many years, sending you to Xiao Zhuo and letting him kill you is tantamount to cutting off my own arm. How could I do such a stupid thing."

"Then His Majesty..."

"Father, I will naturally find a way to deal with it, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Master, that guy Song Zhen is originally from Xiao Zhuo's side." Lin Kui got up and stood beside Xiao Beiheng, "He is definitely a spy who sneaked into our interior, and wants to remove the right and left arm of the master one by one...Master, you have to make a decisive decision. "

"You don't understand this matter." Xiao Beiheng waved his hand, "Song Zhen is not a spy."

Lin Kui shouted: "Master, you can't be deceived by him. No matter how stupid I am, I can still see that he is deliberately pushing me out to Xiao Zhuo to kill..."

Xiao Beiheng shook his head impatiently, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Lin Kui: "You are my confidant, so it's okay to tell you clearly. The real poisoner is Song Zhen."

Lin Kui seemed taken aback, and said, "Master, you are not joking, are you?"

Xiao Beiheng said: "The plan that Queen Mother and Song Zhen made together was to poison Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they didn't come... Song Zhen prepared the poison."

Lin Kui slumped on the ground and stammered, "So... so it's the Empress."

Not only was Lin Kui surprised, but even Ji Yunyan who was on the roof was also taken aback.She didn't expect that the person who poisoned her was Queen Wen.

"The empress mother intended to push you out as a scapegoat, but she didn't discuss it with me," Xiao Beiheng said, "I'm about to start a war with Xiao Zhuo, and it's time to employ someone, so how could I give you to Xiao Zhuo."

Lin Kui was stunned for a while, then turned over and knelt down: "Master, you have a great kindness to the villain...The villain will be smashed to pieces, and he will repay the master's grace of rebirth."

"Needless to say," Xiao Beiheng got up and said, "You can hide here first. I have to discuss with the queen mother how to deal with the father and Xiao Zhuo. There must be an explanation for the poisoning."

"Respectfully send off master." Lin Kui sent Xiao Beiheng out of the house with tears of gratitude.

Ji Yunyan was horrified when she learned the inside story of the incident.For a while, he didn't bother to find Doctor Hua and his son, so he hurried out of the courtyard to find Shen Yuexi and tell her what he heard.

Shen Yuexi almost jumped up after hearing this: "The queen and Song Zhen conspired, you really heard it right?"

Ji Yunyan said: "Xiao Beiheng's words are absolutely true."

Shen Yuexi froze in place, looking up speechless.

It's not that she didn't doubt Empress Wen, but she always felt that Empress Wen didn't look like her.Now it seems that Empress Wen personally ended up in order to let her son Xiao Beiheng take the crown prince.This means that Queen Wen has become an enemy, and Song Zhen is also on the side of Queen Wen.What worried her even more was that Emperor Qi Ming was still kept in the dark.

Ji Yunyan said: "Now Empress Wen has stood on the side of our enemy, what should I do?"

Shen Yuexi was stunned for a while, then suddenly grabbed her wrist and said: "Sister Ji, you go back to the capital quickly. Aren't your aunt and cousin going to see her? You have to stop them quickly, maybe they will be in danger."

Ji Yunyan said: "No way, they have five hundred soldiers. Could it be that Empress Wen can do it directly? Besides, the two of them are not important..."

"No," Shen Yuexi explained hastily, "I'm afraid that Queen Wen will detain them."

Since Queen Wen wanted to do it on a reunion festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, she poisoned her while she was pregnant.Such a vicious woman, there is nothing she can't do.Mrs. Li is Xiao Zhuo's aunt, she was afraid that Empress Wen would take Mrs. Li's mother and daughter as hostages to threaten them.

Seeing Shen Yuexi's eager face, Ji Yunyan said, "What about Doctor Hua? I haven't found them yet."

Shen Yuexi hesitated for a moment.

Doctor Hua and his son were imprisoned here, although it was more or less auspicious.But speaking of it, after all, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter are more urgent.Let Ji Yunyan save Mrs. Li's mother and daughter first, and then she can figure out a way for Dr. Hua.

"Sister Ji should go to the capital first. When she sees Mrs. Li, she will immediately let them go back to Shengjing. Doctor Hua and his son... I will find a way."

Ji Yunyan agreed: "Okay, then you all have to be more careful."

Shen Yuexi nodded in agreement, Xia Lan led the horse over here, and Ji Yunyan got on the horse and galloped away.

Yang Cong watched Ji Yunyan disappear into the night, turned back to Shen Yuexi and said, "Master, this matter has exploded. Now even the queen has become our enemy, what should we do?"

"Don't panic," Shen Yuexi turned to look at the villa, "Let's find a way to rescue Doctor Hua first."

Xia Lan said: "How can we save him? There are so many soldiers guarding him. None of the three of us have the martial arts skills of Ms. Ji... It would be great if Ms. Ji rescued Dr. Hua before returning to the capital."

Shen Yuexi was also worried, wondering whether to let Daxiong dig a tunnel to get in.But I don't know where Doctor Hua is, so I can't dig holes everywhere, right?

The three of them were at their wits end when another team came over from a distance, all of them were sergeants, and women's cries of pain could be heard from time to time in the only carriage in the middle of the team.

"Oh, I can't take it anymore...it hurts me to death."

Shen Yuexi heard the familiar voice, and hurried to watch it.When she heard the voice of the woman in the carriage, the corners of her mouth immediately turned up.

Isn't this Su Mo?
