Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Although Chen Yinuo didn't know what happened between the prince and Shangguan Chu, it was obvious that he had made a fool of himself this time.

He stood at the entrance of Dongshi Street, which was empty due to the rain, and there were only a few pedestrians holding oil-paper umbrellas and rushing to the next destination. No one noticed such a man who seemed quite out of place with the surrounding environment.

The rain hit his face, and it was cold.

Chen Yinuo lowered his head slowly and held his right wrist.There, the scald a few days ago was still a little painful. He applied the medicine scribbled on the ground, and he didn't feel any discomfort afterwards. Until just now, after he realized that something bad happened to him, he was probably nervous, and he always felt a dull pain in the scalded area.

When the raindrops hit the back of the hand, there was a tingling sensation, like many ants crawling slowly.

This injury...is perfunctory after all, he thought.

Just like the "Mr. Chu" that he blurted out, after all, he was too unthinking, and it is still unknown what kind of tsunami will be caused later... He wondered if he should go to Ji's house, and explain clearly to Shangguan Ji Wuyan, But after thinking about it, I really didn't dare.

In the end, it was the rain, and he returned to the post house in a daze.

……

When Li Yuqi returned to the East Palace, it was the time when the rain was heaviest.

The entire night sky was dark and oppressive, and the rain was pouring down, as if the rain was poured down by the hand of a god, without any cover or hindrance.

Even though the carriage drove directly to the door of the dormitory, just a few steps away, there were servants huddling in front of and behind, protecting the lanterns and holding umbrellas, even so, Li Yuqi was still drenched by the horizontal rain , hair dripping with water.

The people in the hall were turned on their backs, and the servants were busy preparing clean clothes and hot water for bathing. Outside the hall, the wind and thunder were like anger.

Li Yuqi sat there, watching the people coming in and out of the room, watching them no matter how careful they were, they still stepped on the ground and left messy and dirty footprints one after another.If it is normal, there will always be a few words of scolding, but today he has no such thoughts.

Today, as he sat there, his thoughts were already illusory and indistinct, so he didn't care whether the footprints on the ground were dirty or not.

The fire in the Chongren Hall was really not his fault - even though things backfired and made him abandon Shangguan Yuan like a shoe, he never thought of killing her.The East Palace is so big, it is more than enough to support an idler, not to mention, Shangguan Yuan's life... is always more useful than death.

He just neglected and turned a deaf ear, just like treating a tree or a grass in the East Palace, ignoring it.

However, because of the autopsy results of the sentence "I was a virgin until death", he became a suspect in killing his wife.

Not long after Shangguan Yuan's death, he was indeed worried about the questioning and accusations from Shangguan's family, and even asked the doormen to prepare several excuses in advance, but waited and waited, let alone Shangguan's family, not even letters. One letter came, and gradually, he put down this thought.

The prepared rhetoric has long been shelved.

As for the Shangguan... After all, he is in decline. Even if he can talk a little bit in Jiangnan, he is already at the bottom of Yanjing City... His spirit has probably faded early.Thinking of this, he felt more and more at ease.

But who would have thought that none of the Shangguan family would come, but she, Ji Wuyan, a daughter of the Ji family, would come to Yanjing City early to jump up and down, make trouble, and break into the Chongren Hall of the Eastern Palace at night. What was taken away in the Chongren Hall, and the You family, also suffered repeated setbacks, and gradually lost their hearts. Seeing an imperial decree granting marriage, it was perfunctory and sloppy.

If it is said that everything has something to do with Ji Wuyan, it is not true, but if it is said that without her stirring up the situation and keeping things in the dark, things would not be what they are now.At least, the relationship between the Ningyou family doesn't have to be as it is now.

I thought it was just jealousy between the girls' families, but now Li Yuqi dare not think so.

Ji Wuyan turned out to be from the Ji family in Yunzhou... Shangguan's wife Ji came from the Ji family in Yunzhou. This is not an unspeakable secret. People, of course, have to investigate clearly in advance.

But in the news that was found, it clearly stated that the two families had long since died of old age because of their marriage back then.Among the thirteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, Shangguan lives in Tanzhou, which is located in the northernmost part of the south of the Yangtze River, while Ji lives in Yunzhou, which is located in the southeast. In recent years, the number of times Shangguan's wife has returned to her natal family is also one of the few.

The word "not to worry about" is the comment of the diners on the Ji family, and Li Yuqi also agrees with it very much.But now it's like this, is it because they don't communicate with each other? !

The heavy rain poured down on the yard, and the sound of the rain was deafening. Looking at the dark night outside the door, Li Yuqi waved to his confidant, and ordered, "Go and call the black robe."

"At this moment?" His confidant looked at the sky and estimated the time. He really didn't think it was the right time, place, and people. He gently comforted him, "Your Highness...you have been showered in the rain. Why don't you take a bath first to get rid of the cold?" ?”

Li Yuqi pressed his temple with one hand, waved the other hand outward, frowned and said nothing.

The confidant bowed and retreated, and took away the busy servants by the way—every time His Royal Highness saw the black robe, he would turn away from the left and right.

……

The black robe has no fixed base, at least, Li Yuqi doesn't know where the black robe is hiding, and Li Yuqi's confidants naturally don't know either.

There is a coffin shop in West City. The shopkeeper is an old man with a cane and a limp. One eyeball is gray and white, and he is obviously unable to see.That coffin shop is closed during the day, and only opens at sunset every time.

Naturally, the business won't be much better, but the old man can't afford it either—every time Li Yuqi looks for a black robe, he will hand over a piece of gold leaf to the old man. After half an hour, the black robe will appear in the East Palace.

If it happens that the coffin shop is not open, just throw the gold leaf in through the crack of the door.

Li Yuqi also had people secretly watch to see if the black robe was hiding in this coffin shop. The old man collected the gold leaves, turned around and entered the back room, and he would come out after a few words, but he kept guarding until the black robe Pao appeared in front of Li Yuqi, and no one saw him coming out of the coffin shop...

If you can't see him coming out, then follow him back. Li Yuqi sent people to follow him several times, and was tied up and sent back every time. Heipao is also very good-tempered, he doesn't say much, and he doesn't get angry.After doing this several times, Li Yuqi, who felt ashamed, had to give up.
