Chapter 128 Revenge
It was quiet at night, and the second son of Su Wang's mansion was noisy enough, his arrogance was as arrogant as his voice, Wan Jinlan, who was yelling at a distance, could hear his words clearly.

Wan Jinlan was leaning on the pole on the corridor, in the darkness, no one could notice that there was anyone here.

The two red lanterns at the gate of the courtyard were blown up by the wind, and the shadows falling from the branches protruding from the wall swayed on the floor. However, Xiao Qi, who was in his early ten years, was dressed in a rich blue brocade robe, and he was kicking around with a servant. Come out of the courtyard.

"My lord, what are you trying to do with your son every day?"

The servant carrying the lantern couldn't stand Xiao Qi making trouble for the prince every day.The princess will not do anything to the young master, but he is the kind of servant who will inevitably be scolded and punished.

Xiao Qi snorted coldly, "When he comes back, the concubine mother will treat him well. I just want to tell him that the concubine mother will always treat me well. Why do you think he came back?"

Xiao Qi stomped his feet angrily.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Then Mr. Wu lives in the guest house, tomorrow we will drive him out of the palace."

The servant persuaded: "Young master, Jade Willow's beauty is just average. Why do you continue to offend the son because of her? The son is your own elder brother, and he will inherit the palace in the future..."

The little servant was kicked before he finished speaking, "Mother and concubine can only treat me well, the palace belongs to my son, what has it to do with him! If you dare to say another word, you will get out of my son's mouth. s things."

The little servant dared not speak again.

The two master and servant walked by the corridor, Wan Jinlan listened to Xiao Qi complaining all the way, showing all kinds of disrespect to Xiao Nian.

In the darkness of night, like a vigorous black cat, Wan Jinlan left Su Wang's mansion silently.

On the second day, Wu Ye was troubled by Xiao Qi again.

Xiao Nianshen inevitably had another fight with Xiao Qi, Xiao Nianshen felt that Xiao Qi was annoying enough, so he temporarily placed Wu Ye in the house outside.By the time it was settled, it was already dark.

The sky was gloomy, with dark clouds gathering overhead, and it felt like it would rain any moment.

At the corner of the street, Wan Jinlan saw Xiao Nianshen get into the carriage from the gate of the house and leave with his own eyes.

Yu Song was not worried about her going alone, "Master, why don't you go directly to Mrs. Pei, if the father-in-law is really murdered by Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Pei wants to do things in the capital thousands of miles away, there must be something for her People, Su Wang's son is very likely to be involved."

Wan Jinlan understood this truth, but she really had to look into it carefully. She had helped the Lord Kangping and Wu Ye on the river back to the capital, and she had faintly sensed that Wu Ye had some unspeakable affection for her.

After she returned to the capital from Yangzhou, she also heard from elder brother Zhijing that the county magistrate took Wu Ye to the gate of the mansion, vaguely revealing that he wanted to marry his son and daughter as in-laws.

She didn't gamble with the emotions that might have been blown away by the wind, but mainly relied on Jiang Shang's kindness to help.

"You stay here, if there is a situation, the old rules."

Yu Song was quite helpless, the master loves to do everything by himself, as a secret guard, he followed her to inquire about the situation and look after her.

Xiao Nianshen arranged for Wu Ye's house to have few attendants, and most of them were in the outer courtyard.

According to the old rules, Wan Jinlan poked through the paper on the window and looked in, if he didn't see anyone, he would change to another room.

Before finding out which room Wu Ye was in, birds chirped from the streets outside.

She simply went up to the roof and crouched quietly on it.

Not long after, there was the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, and then Xiao Nianshen was suspected to be speaking: "Go to the outer courtyard to guard."

The sound of the door being pushed open.

After that, Wan Jinlan never heard anything else.

She lay on her back, moved her body slowly, and lifted two tiles in a row, but she didn't see anyone in the room below, and she was covered in sweat after a while.

It was completely dark.

"Click, click"

It was the sound of raindrops hitting the roof.

Wan Jinlan relaxed, and casually wiped the raindrops that fell on her forehead. With the interference of raindrops, it was easier to hide her movements.

He lifted a tile again, put his eyes down, and the scene he saw at a glance really shocked his jaw.

In the past, Xiao Feng had a reputation for being unfeminine, and she once suspected that he was as good as Long Yang.

She had heard that there were high-ranking officials and aristocrats who liked masculinity, but she couldn't imagine what it would be like for two men to be together.

Seeing Xiao Nianshen carefully smearing the wounds on Wu Ye's body, she was thinking whether Wu Ye's injuries were beaten up by Xiao Qi, or caused by Xiao Nianshen.

If Wu Ye and Xiao Nianshen were in this kind of relationship, would she still be able to find out anything from him with the little affection in the past?

When Wan Jinlan fell into self-doubt, after applying the medicine underneath, Wu Ye could be considered as fully dressed.

"Zian endure it for a few more days, and when the weather gets warmer, I will take you to the front line. With your talent, you will surely stand out in front of your father and be reused."

Xiao Nian saw that Wu Ye was silent, a disapproving smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he gently smoothed the folds of his front, and then turned and left the room.

Wan Jinlan quietly crouched on the roof, looking over the main ridge, watching the young man under the rain curtain carrying an umbrella to send Xiao Nianshen out the second door.

There was the sound of the courtyard door closing, and another loud "bang" from below.

At the place Wan Jinlan didn't see, Xiao Nianshen touched the place next to the hair crown with his dry fingers, it was a little wet there, he squinted his eyes and looked back.

Wan Jinlan lowered her eyes, and saw that the things on the Duobao Pavilion fell to the ground, and Wu Ye was sitting on the ground with her knees buried in her head, her shoulders shaking silently.

Wan Jinlan suddenly settled down again.

Another stick of incense time passed, and when Wan Jinlan was about to be drenched by the rain, she jumped down silently and pushed the door open to enter.

Wu Ye was cut off from the imperial examination due to family changes, and his future prospects were zero in the future. Under such circumstances, he met Xiao Nianshen.

Xiao Nian understood his ambition deeply, and he could always speak to his heart when speaking, and after several conversations, he introduced him as a confidant.

Xiao Nianshen also faintly confided to him about Su Wang's mansion, he pressed the treasure on him, and wanted to make a big splash, so he left the capital with him without hesitation.

What he didn't expect was that on the second day after arriving at Su Wang's mansion, after a banquet, he absurdly woke up on Xiao Nian's deep bed the next morning.

He doesn't want to go on like this, but the world is so big that there is no way out for his surname Wu.

When Wu Ye was in deep pain, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and his heart shuddered, thinking that it was Xiao Nianshen who had returned.

The moment he walked into the main hall, he froze for a moment.

Wan Jinlan's forehead was still dripping water, her face was covered with a paste, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

It took Wu Ye a while to recover from his dumbfoundedness, and recognized the person.

"Miss Wan, is that you?"

Wu Ye saw Wan Jinlan wipe his messy face casually with his sleeve, he looked around, but couldn't find the towel.

"Why are you here?" Wu Ye knew that she and King Qi were exiled, and the news that the two disappeared on the road of exile was also sent back to the capital, but he did not expect to see her here.

Wan Jinlan smiled wryly, "The world is so big that there is no room for me. I came here today to ask for something. I have the audacity to come to find Mr. Wu. I hope Mr. Wu sees that I have treated you and Mrs. Kangping in the past. For the sake of a little kindness, I hope you can help me."

Mr. Wu looked at her distressed appearance, and recalling what happened to the two of them, he couldn't help feeling that they were both fallen people in the world.

Wu Ye gave her a comforting look, went out, told the servants not to enter the main courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and closed the door from the inside after entering the main hall.

"I don't know why Miss Wan came here? If Wu can help, he will do his best."

Wan Jinlan lowered her eyes, "My father died from the poisoning of my second aunt, Mrs. Lin. Does Mr. Wu know who got the letter from Mrs. Lin?"

Wu Ye had already guessed, but now that the guess came true, he suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, Wan Jinlan didn't need to be sure anymore, and asked again: "Are you involved in my father's death?"

"I, Wu Ye, swear to God, the death of Lord Zhen Guo has nothing to do with me."

People nowadays respect the sky, the earth, ghosts and gods, Wan Jinlan saw him swearing with two fingers up, there was no trace of guilt in his eyes, and he had some judgment in his heart.

Seeing that the corner of her clothes was still dripping, Wu Ye went into the inner room and took out a cloak and handed it to her.

Wan Jinlan just had trouble with her body, so she wrapped herself up after taking it.

"You said it had nothing to do with you, I believe you, but can you tell me what you know?"

It was raining heavily outside, and the windows were crackled by the slanting rain.

Wu Ye whispered about the events before Duke Zhen was poisoned.

"Before King Su escorted King Guangling into Beijing, people from Bingzhou came from King Su's mansion in the capital. After King Su entered Beijing, there were rumors about Concubine Wan and King Su in Beijing. I was Xiao Nianshen's staff, and I also met people from Bingzhou. , by coincidence, I saw the carriage of the second wife of the Wan family have an accident in Qingyufang, and the figure of that person hurried past, I didn't take it seriously, but after two days, I heard that Zhen Guogong was poisoned information"

When Wan Jinlan wanted to ask Xiao Nianshen if she knew about it, she vaguely heard the sound of birdsong.

Her complexion changed, she took off her cloak and threw it at Wu Ye, opened the window and jumped out.

"I'm leaving, you should be careful and find a way to erase the traces."

Leaving these words in a hurry, she disappeared into the rain.

Wu Ye thought of something in a flash, and hurriedly put the cloak back into the cabinet indoors. Seeing the water stains on the ground, he quickly went outside to soak in the rain for a while, stepped on his wooden shoes in the rain, and then stepped on them inside the house.

When the busy work was over and he went out and stood under the eaves and his heart made a "dong dong" sound in his chest, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Yu Xiao Nianshen, who was holding an umbrella, walked in with the guard boy.

Wu Ye tried his best to calm himself down, and asked calmly with his usual attitude: "Why did the prince come back again?"

Xiao Nianshen didn't say a word, he went straight into the main room, saw that the main hall was in a mess, with many watermarks, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and pushed open the door of the inner room, saw that the things on the Duobao Pavilion had fallen to the ground, and there was nowhere to go.

Wu Ye's heart was beating violently, and his hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Xiao Nianshen did not speak, but looked at the two rooms connected to the main hall, a moment later, a guard came to report, saying that the rain was too heavy and there was no trace of anyone coming around the courtyard.

Wan Jinlan was wearing a well-dressed outfit, and she was already very proficient in the posture of fleeing for her life. If she climbed over the wall, she would not leave any traces at all, and it was raining, even if there were some traces left, it would be difficult to find.

Now that she already knew that her father's death was inextricably related to Concubine Su Pei, she would of course take the opportunity to avenge her.

Seeing her non-stop heading towards King Su's mansion, Yu Song also knew what she was going to do.

"Master, it's good to leave this matter to the subordinates, you go out of the city first."

Wan Jinlan shook her head, she felt uneasy if she didn't see Pei's eyes closed.

At this moment, Xiao Nianshen never expected that someone would rush to King Su's mansion to kill her mother. He was wondering whether Wu Ye had already contacted people in Jingdu and wanted to leave him.

Wu Ye had a history of sneaking away from him after becoming his man, and he chased him back.

These days in the palace, because of Xiao Qi's troubles, Wu Ye made many requests to go out and live.He just settled people down today, and when he left, the person in charge of keeping an eye on Wu Ye informed him. Wu Ye closed the courtyard door, and there were faint voices in the room.

He led people back all the way in the rain, surrounded the courtyard, checked inside and out, except for the water in the main hall, there was nothing suspicious.

Wu Ye waved everyone back with a cold face, and stood guard in the outer courtyard. After the door was closed, he held Wu Ye's trembling hand, "Zian, I don't think you will do anything about the current relationship between you and me. Do not say anything else."

He stared fixedly at Wu Ye, his gaze made Wu Ye want to gag.

Wu Ye avoided looking, but Xiao Nianshen forcibly pinched his chin.

Wu Ye was disgusted by Xiao Nianshen's different feelings for him, but he also felt relieved.

He himself was mired in the mud, but he didn't want Wan Jinlan, who was in the same embarrassment as him, to be observed by Xiao Nianshen.

He lowered his eyes, forcing himself to show his intention of being submissive, "Your Majesty knows what I want, as long as I do it, Zian will not leave you."

Xiao Nian's deep eyes showed a little satisfaction, he changed the subject and asked, "Where did the water in Zi'an's house come from?"

Wu Ye had long been prepared to be asked about water marks, Xiao Nianshen's seemingly unprepared question, but he did not panic.

Wu Ye turned around and said in a low voice, "Zi'an thought that it would be better to die like this before, but when he pulled the gauze curtain, he didn't pull it off for a long time. Zi'an thought, maybe the heavens can't bear me to hang like this, so I will Then open the door and let it rain in the courtyard, if you get cold..."

Xiao Nian covered his mouth deeply, with shame in his eyes, "I pushed you hard."

Wu Ye let out a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as your Majesty gives Zi'an what he wants, Zi'an will not leave."

When the two of you came and went, Wan Jinlan sneaked into Su Wang's mansion silently in the rainy night, and at this time, Mrs. Pei had already fallen asleep.

Wan Jinlan sealed her throat with a knife, Pei Shi didn't even make the slightest sound, and the girl on night watch outside was snoring under the influence of the smoke.

The chief culprit, Mrs. Pei, is dead, and news of Mrs. Pei's death will come out tomorrow morning at the latest. The best chance for her and Yu Song to leave Jinyang City is tonight.

The two of them entered the city through the city wall at the southeast corner of Jinyang. The flying tiger claws were thrown on the two-foot-high tower, and the two of them could sneak out in a few breaths.

In the early morning of the next day, when Mrs. Pei was found dead, Wan Jinlan and Yu Song were already sixty miles away from Jinyang.
