Chapter 271 Just Let Them Go

Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Xiao Jinxi continued to ask: "What about Princess Mei? You have come to Tianqi, what will she do?"

At this moment, Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, and there was guilt in his eyes: "At that time, I was dazzled by hatred. I only wanted to seek revenge from Ye Qing."

"So from the first time I escaped from Fallen Leaves Valley, I didn't see my junior sister again. I didn't see her again until I was taken away from Tianqi."

Xiao Jinxi asked: "Then what happens after the apocalypse?"

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened: "In those years, what happened to me in Tianqi has nothing to do with Ye Qing."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head: "How could it be irrelevant? You came to Tianqi, thousands of miles away. How did Ye Qing find you? What you ignored may be the key to Ye Qing finding you."

Xiao Yun hurriedly said: "Ye Qing didn't find me because of these."

"No." Xiao Jinxi said, "How do you know it's not? If you know Ye Qing so well, why are you still helpless against him?"

Xiao Yun shook his head again: "I didn't lie to you, those years really had nothing to do with him."

"Well, it's okay." Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Then tell me, how did Ye Qing find you later?"

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, but he remained silent.

Xiao Jinxi shook her head: "Xiao Yun, you hate Ye Qing so much, but now you refuse to say it. What are you trying to hide?"

"Xiao Yun, don't you understand even today? Ye Qing is no longer a simple Gu refiner."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun raised his head instantly and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jinxi shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Yun, have you ever thought about the fact that the Dayue Criminal Department and Dali Temple teamed up to arrest Ye Qing, but he escaped in the end?"

"More than that, Ye Qing can continue to stay in the Fallen Leaves Valley later on, and even design everything in the Fallen Leaves Valley to cover people's eyes and ears, and prevent outsiders from entering."

"But the Da Yue government doesn't know anything about it, don't you think it's strange?"

"Not only that, there are often herb pickers outside Fallen Leaves Valley. And Ye Qing wants to design everything in Fallen Leaves Valley, how can he not be seen at all? Don't you think it's strange?"

Xiao Yun was puzzled for a moment: "You mean, someone is helping him with all that?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Otherwise, do you think Ye Qing can really do all this?"

"Also, Ye Qing, who was wanted by the government, was able to open the Jishengtang in Da Viet. No one helped him, do you think he can do it alone?"

For a moment, there was surprise in Xiao Yun's eyes, and he murmured, "So they knew each other a long time ago."

"They?" Xiao Jinxi smiled and continued: "Xiao Yun, without them, I believe you and Princess Mei would not have ended like this."

"Back then, Ye Qing arrested you and made you suffer for so many years. And when you arrived at Tianqi, you still couldn't get rid of them, and finally implicated Princess Mei."

"Are you really willing to let them go like this?"

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened instantly, and after a long time, he said, "It's Prince Qi."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and asked, "Prince Da Yue Qi Nangong Chu."

Xiao Yun nodded and replied, "That's right. I only found out a while ago that Nangong Chu and Ye Qing knew each other."

Xiao Jinxi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I don't just know him, I'm afraid he has known him for a long time. Ye Qing escaped from the siege of the Dayue government back then. The officers and soldiers searched for him for a month, but they couldn't find him."

"Maybe, all of this is Nangong Chu's handwriting. Back then, Nangong Chu looked like an ordinary prince, but he had already been paving the way step by step secretly."

"When he learned of Ye Qing's existence, the temptation was very great for him."

"The Fallen Leaves Valley is located within the jurisdiction of Prince Qi's Mansion. It is not difficult for him to hide Ye Qing secretly."

Xiao Yun was shocked when he heard this: "Miss Xiao, you already knew about Nangong Chu and Ye Qing?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled: "Xiao Yun, you know yourself and your enemy. If I want to arrest Ye Qing, I will naturally have to investigate this person."

"Xiao Yun, when you left without saying goodbye, Princess Mei must have wanted to find you, right?"

At this moment, there was guilt in Xiao Yun's eyes: "It was my fault. I thought of those things at the time, but I didn't dare to tell her. She watched me run out like crazy. She was obviously worried, but I refused to tell her. Don’t dare to ask again.”

"The day I attacked Ye Qing, she hadn't come to Fallen Leaves Valley yet. I failed and escaped, so I dared not see her even more. If I had told her earlier, she would no longer trust Ye Qing, and she would not be plotted by him .”

"At that time, she resisted the decree and escaped marriage, she went to Fallen Leaves Valley. But Ye Qing poisoned her and told her that I was in Tianqi."

"As long as she comes to Apocalypse, after a month, I will go to her with the antidote. It is because of this that Meier came to Apocalypse."

"Although they are all in the Prince's Mansion, she is in the backyard and I am in the front yard. We have no chance to meet each other. I only received Ye Qing's letter and antidote a month after she entered the mansion."

Xiao Jinxi was puzzled and said: "Princess Mei is unruly by nature and doesn't like the royal family. She came to Tianqi just to find you."

"It's impossible for her to be trapped in the Prince's Mansion because of a marriage decree. But why didn't she take you away after you met. Could it be that you refused to go with her?"

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened instantly: "Because the antidote Ye Qing gave was not a one-time antidote. Ye Qing said that every six months, he would give me the antidote once."

Xiao Jinxi asked suspiciously: "Princess Mei read so many books in Ye Qing's study in those years. There's nothing she can do about that poison?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "No way, we can't cure the poison Ye Qing personally formulated."

Xiao Jinxi already understood, but then he asked in confusion: "Have you ever thought about why Ye Qing left you in the Prince's Mansion with so much effort?"

"Is it just to help Dayue, Prince Qi, and Princess Mei?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "Back then we didn't know about the relationship between Nangong Chu and Ye Qing. We always thought that it was the conspiracy between the Empress Dowager Dayue and Ye Qing."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said: "That's right, the imperial decree of marriage was originally issued by the Queen Mother of Dayue. At that time, Princess Mei was the only woman of the right age in the royal family of Dayue. She wanted Princess Mei to come to Tianqi to make a marriage. It is reasonable to say that these two people conspired." .”

"Besides, Nangong Chu was still in the Queen Mother's party at that time. It's not the Prince Qi who is now in power."

"And then, when will the poison be cured?"

Xiao Yun smiled wryly: "The poison was completely cured in the year Emperor Zongyuan ascended the throne. At that time, Meier had already entered the palace. It is not so easy to get out of the palace again."

Xiao Jinxi already understood: "And at that time, Murong Xuan had already remembered. If you wanted to take him away, how would you explain it to him, so naturally it would be even more difficult."

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, and he remained silent.

Xiao Jinxi already understood, it seemed that at that time, they wanted to leave, but they couldn't.At that time, Murong Xuan could already be called Father Emperor.

"What about Liu Quan? You also arranged to enter the palace?"

Xiao Yun said in a deep voice: "That's right. Liu Quan was an orphan, and he almost starved to death on the street. At that time, Mei Er and I rescued him on the streets of Dayue. Mei Er then brought him into the Di Ji Mansion. Liu Quan was right Meier is loyal."

"Later, Meier decided to come to Tianqi, so she asked Liu Quan to lurk outside the Prince's Mansion, hoping that when she escaped from the Prince's Mansion later, he would be able to assist her outside."

"But Meier entered the palace later. There are many inconveniences in the harem. Liu Quan said that he would like to enter the palace and keep Meier by his side."

"But if you want to go to the harem, you can only be a eunuch. I didn't agree with it at first, but Liu Quan went to cleanse himself. I re-arranged his status and entered the palace."

Xiao Jinxi instantly understood that Liu Quan was actually so loyal to Concubine Mei that he didn't hesitate to leave the palace.What would Concubine Mei think if she knew that Liu Quan died of poisonous Gu or because of Murong Xuan?
After a while, he asked, "Xiao Yun, since Concubine Mei's poison has been cured, why did Zong Yuan die again in the third year?"

"What is the real cause of Concubine Mei's death?"
