Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

The October morning outside the pass is very cold. Whenever the cold wind blows, the Populus euphratica trees on both sides of the ancient road will rustle a lot of withered and yellow leaves.

Shen Yuexi's mood was the same as the weather in front of him, with his hands behind his back, he lowered his head and kicked the small stones on the ground.

Ji Yunyan sneaked into Prince Ping's mansion last night, set fire to the empty room, and took advantage of the chaos to rescue her, including Xiaobai.However, Su Mo changed her mind and refused to go with her.

Su Mo didn't believe that Queen Wen would be such a person, so she insisted on asking Xiao Beiheng herself.

At that time, the situation was urgent and there was no time to discuss slowly, so she could only escape from Prince Ping's mansion with Ji Yunyan first.

The news that followed made her even more sad.When Ji Yunyan arrived at Fengqi Palace, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter had already been poisoned by Queen Wen.Ji Yunyan was powerless and had no choice but to come back and look for her.

There seemed to be a big stone in her chest, pressing heavily, making it difficult for her to breathe smoothly.

She didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Li's mother and daughter at first, but after getting along, the two sides have settled down, and Li Wan even married Qiang Lin.Everything is fine, if she sees Qiang Lin now, she doesn't know what to say.

Mrs. Li insisted on going to the capital. She was alert at the beginning and asked Ji Yunyan and five hundred soldiers to escort her.Mrs. Li was safe and sound all the way, but she died in the imperial city in the end. This was not the result she could have expected at all.

It is understandable that Queen Wen poisoned her.She can be regarded as Xiao Zhuo's right-hand man. For the sake of his son, Empress Wen wanted to get rid of Xiao Zhuo's right-hand man.But what was the motive for killing Mrs. Li? The two have nothing to do with each other.

Judging from the process of drinking the poisonous tea, it was obvious that Empress Wen had premeditated it, and it was definitely not a temporary killing intent.

"Princess An, don't blame yourself too much," Ji Yunyan sat under the thick poplar tree, with her arm on her bent left knee, watching her walk around, "None of us thought that the queen would kill Mrs. Li. "

Shen Yuexi stopped in her tracks, turned around and asked, "Sister Ji, are you sure you heard the two words Li Wan said correctly?"

Ji Yunyan said: "Princess An, I have been practicing swordsmanship with my grandfather since I was a child. Listening to voices is a basic skill. Miss Li was vomiting blood at the time, but I am sure I heard the words 'aunt' and 'Daliang Village' correctly."

"Auntie is my mother's older sister." Shen Yuexi lowered her head and pondered, "Mrs. Li is the second daughter of Duke Pei, and her older sister is Empress Pei. Empress Pei has been dead for more than a year. Why did Li Wan mention this?"

"Miss Li was unconscious at the time, maybe she recalled the past."

"It's possible, so why did she mention Daliang Village?" Shen Yuexi asked suspiciously, "Sister Ji, how many Daliang Villages does Dayan have?"

"There is only one, Daliang Village on the outskirts of Tongliao County, Liangzhou."

Shen Yuexi's eyes lit up.She is very familiar with Daliang Village. When she and Xiao Zhuo escaped from the siege, they went to Daliang Village and met Feng Zhang there.When Li Wan mentioned this place, could it be that this place has a secret about Pei Jingyun?
What Ji Yunyan said also makes sense.Maybe Li Wan just casually said a few nonsense when she was dying.But she didn't want Mrs. Li and Li Wan to die for nothing. She would rather think that Li Wan deliberately said these two words to Ji Yunyan.

To find out the truth, you must go to Daliang Village, where you may find the reason why Queen Wen wanted to kill them.

"Sister Ji, I've decided not to go back to Shengjing," Shen Yuexi clenched her fists and waved, "Go back to Shengjing and tell my husband what happened here. I'm going to Daliang Village."

After finishing speaking, she ran towards Xiao Bai who was grazing not far away.

"Hey, no!"

Ji Yunyan jumped up and leaped in front of her with a big stride, reaching out to stop her: "I rescued you with great difficulty, how could you take risks by yourself."

Shen Yuexi didn't listen, she wanted to sneak under Ji Yunyan's arm, Ji Yunyan grabbed her by the back of her neck and dragged her back: "Don't be brave, okay, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the child in your belly, right?"

"I can handle it," Shen Yuexi argued, "Auntie can't just die like this, I'm going to find out the evidence against Empress Wen!"

Even if she knew that it was Empress Wen who poisoned her and killed Mrs. Li's mother and daughter, all of these were based on Ji Yunyan's inquiries without any evidence.To accuse Emperor Qi Ming of the queen's crimes, evidence must be found.

Ji Yunyan firmly grasped and did not let go: "You know that Empress Wen is an enemy, and so do I. Could it be that Empress Wen and Xiao Beiheng regard you as a friend? Now Xiao Beiheng must be sending troops to look for you everywhere. If something happens to you, how can I explain to the Queen. Let’s hurry back to Shengjing, that’s the safest place.”

Shen Yuexi struggled and had no choice but to give in: "Sister Ji, I'm not going, let go."

Ji Yunyan let go, looked up at the sky and said, "We've had enough rest, let's go now, and we can rush back to Shengjing in the afternoon."

The two were about to straighten their saddles when a sound of hoofbeats came from outside the woods, and they came straight to where they were.

Ji Yunyan's complexion changed, and she stood in an open place, holding the long sword behind her backhand, and said to Shen Yuexi: "Princess An, hide behind me."

She was afraid that someone would recognize Shen Yuexi when she was walking on the main road, so she deliberately chose a remote and uninhabited path, and she only saw a woodcutter along the way.The visitor came on horseback, obviously not an ordinary woodcutter.

In a short time, the visitor had rushed into the forest on his horse, rolling up the dead leaves all over the ground.

Shen Yuexi hid behind Ji Yunyan's shoulder, looked over with her head, first she showed surprise, then the smile froze on her face, becoming uglier than crying.

"Princess An!" The visitor jumped off the horse excitedly, it was Qiang Lin.

In order not to attract attention, Qiang Lin wore Dayan people's clothes and rode ordinary horses that can be seen everywhere in the market.

Seeing Qiang Lin, Ji Yunyan removed her hand from the hilt of her sword and said, "So it was you, no wonder you found us."

She turned her head and said to Shen Yuexi: "Princess An...it's Qiang Lin, you...are you coming out?"

Shen Yuexi moved sideways from Ji Yunyan's back in small steps, and said, "Cousin-in-law, why are you here?"

Qiang Lin tied the reins to the tree and said with a smile: "Didn't you ask me to prepare the army? I have already ordered the army under my command to camp in the north of Shengjing. Now King An's army that conquered the rebels in Jingzhou has returned. King An misses you, Just ask me to come over and have a look... Hehe, let me tell the truth, I’ll drop by to pick up Wan’er. Isn’t she with you? I thought you came back together.”

Shen Yuexi lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Qiang Lin's smile, she felt like she was going to cry.Qiang Lin followed her through life and death. In order to protect her and Xiao Zhuo, he led his secret guards to block the pursuers more than once. The hideous knife wound on his face was the best proof of his loyalty.

Now she wants to tell Qiang Lin a terrible fact, she really doesn't know how to speak.

Qiang Lin's smile gradually disappeared from his face, and he walked up to the two of them suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong with you two, why didn't you talk?"

Shen Yuexi ruthlessly raised her head.

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day of the junior high school. You should know sooner or later, can you still hide it?
"Wan'er...Wan'er and her aunt have gone to see the god." She chose a statement that was least likely to hurt Qiang Lin, but the volume was only a little louder than that of a mosquito.

Qiang Lin opened his eyes wide, stretched out his hands as if trying to grab her, but stopped halfway, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you say it again, who is going to see the god?"

Shen Yuexi took a deep breath, thinking that this would give her courage, but when she spoke again, her voice was still as low as before:

"Wan'er and aunt have gone to see the god."

Qiang Lin staggered back two steps, crouched down slowly with his head in his hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Who did it?"

Ji Yunyan said: "It's Empress Wen. She summoned Mrs. Li and Li Wan, and poisoned the tea. When I rushed there, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter were already dead. The palace was heavily guarded, and I couldn't bring back their remains .”

Qiang Lin raised his head, his eyes were red, tears streaming down his face: "Why did she do this?"

He also knew that in that environment, let alone Ji Yunyan, even if he was present, he would not be able to take away Mrs. Li's mother and daughter.He just wanted to understand why Queen Wen did this.

Shen Yuexi walked up to him, knelt down and said, "We don't know why Queen Wen did this. Even if Mrs. Li's mother and daughter committed a crime, she shouldn't directly poison them. Obviously she is trying to hide something. I'm about to Go and investigate this matter...don't hold back, crying will make you feel better."

Qiang Lin stood up, his voice was no longer trembling despite the tears streaming down his face: "I once witnessed my brothers die in front of Xiao Beiheng one by one. Now my beloved died at the hands of his mother. I don't want to ask her again For what reason, no reason can stop my revenge. Miss Ji, did Wan Er leave any last words?"

Ji Yunyan said: "Before Miss Li died, she mentioned 'Auntie' and 'Daliang Village'."

Qiang Lin turned to look at Shen Yuexi: "Her aunt is Dayan's Empress Pei, your husband's mother?"

These words were like a spark, which suddenly lit up in Shen Yuexi's mind.She shouted: "I see, my aunt is Empress Wen, and Empress Wen is Pei Jingyun."

Both Ji Yunyan and Qiang Lin were taken aback, Ji Yunyan said: "How is it possible, you said that Empress Wen is Pei Jingyun, then who was Empress Pei who entered the palace?"

"When Empress Wen came to Shengjing, I saw her face, and I knew what to do," Shen Yuexi waved to the two of them, "Let's get on the horse and go to Shengjing to find my husband. I already know what to do."
