Mountains and rivers are in her palm

Chapter 234 Cao Man is dead, the clue is broken

Xie Qun took the antidote and looked at Yan Lingzhen full of desire for knowledge.

But he saw that the other party was staring at him like a young adult, with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Xie has been an official in the court for so many years, don't you know that there is a saying that the more you know, the faster you die?"

Xie Qun almost didn't mention it in one breath.

Yan Lingzhen jumped off the chair.

"The antidote is divided into batches. In the middle of each month, this lady will personally come to deliver the medicine to the adults. By the way, I will add another word. If the antidote is not taken in time, the adults will directly turn into a pool of blood and evaporate from the world."

When talking about the blood evaporating from the world, Yan Lingzhen's expression was as ordinary as saying that she would eat an extra bowl of rice tonight.

When Xie Qun realized that what he had just taken was not an antidote but poison, Yan Lingzhen was no longer in the room.

Xie Qun: "..." What a Yan family!Sure enough, no one is kind!

This Cao Man is the right-hand man who supports the Seventh Prince, controls half of the capital's financial resources, and can do whatever he wants. Yan Wanqing's courage is truly admirable.

It's just that she doesn't know how she is doing in Xiliang City now, whether she has won the battle.

Yan Lingzhen walked up and down the eaves of Dali Temple, followed by a figure at some point behind her.

"Is everything done?"

Yan Lingzhen stopped: "Fifth sister, don't you feel relieved about Xiaoliu's work?"

Yan Hongzhao was dressed in black, with only a pair of eyes exposed from all over his body, he looked extremely stern.

"Sister is facing the Japanese pirates and Xiao Hongshen alone in Xiliang City right now. We must do everything within our power in the capital. Only in this way can we prevent sister from worrying about the future." Yan Hongzhao said slowly.

The night wind was blowing the hair of the two sisters, Yan Lingzhen looked up at Yan Hongzhao, and couldn't help but said, "Fifth Sister, the smell of blood on your body has infected me."

Yan Hongzhao took two steps back: "You should have gotten used to it a long time ago."

"Ever since my sister went to Xiliang City, Fifth Sister, you haven't come home all day long, and you have brought those scumbags to fight everywhere. I heard that you have wiped out all the hills outside the capital." Yan Lingzhen sighed He breathed a sigh of relief: "If my sister is in the capital, I definitely don't want to see you become like this."

"Xiao Liu, do you know?" Yan Hongzhao looked towards the direction of the imperial city from a distance: "Since the day my aunt was killed, I have sworn that I must become strong. Only by being strong can I protect my loved ones." Later, my father and brother were brought back from the battlefield, and one night I saw my elder sister standing in the snow crying, which made me even more determined."

"No one knows what sister has paid for this family." Yan Hongzhao couldn't help but said: "Sister could have found a suitable family in Kyoto to marry, or found a place to fly away, but she didn't. It’s far more than we imagined.”

The corners of Yan Lingzhen's lips condensed a bit, with a lot of bitterness: "Xiao Liu knows what Fifth Sister said in her heart."

"If you are clear, you shouldn't meet Xie Qun privately." Yan Hongzhao looked at her and sighed: "It's too dangerous. If you are seen by Xiao Hongshen's people, you will be more dangerous in the future."

"Whether I'm in danger or they are in danger, we don't know until we touch each other." Yan Lingzhen said unconvinced.

Yan Hongzhao shook his head helplessly: "Okay, it's getting dark, go back quickly, mother won't sleep until she sees us go back."

The two sisters jumped down from the eaves, stepped on the bluestone slab, and cast long shadows on the ground.

"Fifth Sister, will things be over when Auntie comes back from Xiliang City?" Yan Lingzhen couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do then?"

Yan Hongzhao thought about it.

"Hold the sword to the end of the world, stay away from the capital."

Yan Lingzhen smiled: "I just thought so too. Kyoto is such a good place. The people outside are desperately trying to squeeze in, and the people inside are trying to escape. When sister comes back, everything will be settled. Let's get out of this muddy water."

I hope at that time, everything will go well.

When Xie Qun received someone from the Cao family to visit Cao Man, he went into the cell without any shoes on.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Cao Man hanged himself in the cell.

There was a fingerprinted crime on the ground.

"Who let him in!" Xie Qun grabbed the skirt of the person next to him.

The man was terrified: "The person on duty also died, he died in the dormitory, my lord."

Xie Qun gritted his teeth: "Go and check!"

Under the vine of Cao Man is bound the evil forces of half of the capital, and even if he dies, he will definitely not be able to settle everything!
He Xie Qun couldn't believe it anymore, under the emperor, who could cover the sky in the capital with one hand!
……

"Cao Man is dead?" Zhang Lanyi heard the sound and the cup in his hand fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.

Laifu hurriedly wiped the tea stains on her hands with a handkerchief: "Your Majesty didn't get burned?"

Zhang Lanyi stopped Laifu's movements: "Is he really dead?"

"It is said that there is an inner ghost in Dali Temple. After finishing the work, Cao's family came to visit Cao Man, and then he hanged himself. Before he died, he wrote all his crimes on paper and signed them."

As Laifu spoke, he saw Zhang Lanyi's eyes were red and tears could not help but fall from the sockets.

"Ma'am... are you okay?"

Zhang Lanyi held the hand on the coffee table, his joints turned white.

"How did Cao Man just die?" She suddenly sneered, "I have been trying to kill him for a long time, but how did he just die?"

Lai Fu stared blankly at the Queen, for some reason, his heart also felt empty.

"He's dead, but I haven't explained clearly what I want to know." Zhang Lanyi gritted her teeth, the malice in her eyes almost broke her down: "What happened back then!"

Zhang Lanyi overturned everything on the case table to the ground: "I must know why my father died back then!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Laifu looked at the crazy Zhang Lanyi very worried.

But Zhang Lanyi suddenly calmed down: "Cao Man is dead, but there is still someone alive."

Lai Fu had a bad heart: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. Your Majesty ordered that no one be allowed to see the Empress Dowager. Now it's such a critical moment. You must not make any mistakes."

Zhang Lanyi's eyes were red: "Bengong is unwilling to bear the burden of humiliation and has lived until now just for an answer. How can you tell Bengong to endure it now!"

"Your Majesty—! Before leaving, the princess repeatedly told the servants to ask you to think carefully at this critical moment. If you can't figure it out, go to Concubine Sun Gui."

Zhang Lanyi paused, her lips trembling: "Sun Lianyi?"

Seeing that her mood had stabilized a bit, Lai Fu quickly said: "The imperial concubine is already an ally of the empress, and the authorities are confused by the bystanders. What's more, the evidence this time was sent by Concubine Sun. Maybe she knows something."

"You're right, I'm going to find Concubine Sun now." Zhang Lanyi stretched out her hand and said to Laifu, "Change clothes."
