Chapter 1823: Following the Clues 2
Recently, a rumor has been spreading in Shengjing that the crown prince was assassinated and was saved by a woman from Jianghu. In order to repay the favor, the crown prince Ye Hengyan invited the woman into the crown prince's mansion and prepared to take her as a concubine. The crown princess is having a quarrel with the crown prince over this matter.
The rumor was so detailed, as if it had been personally experienced, that it spread widely in Shengjing. The protagonist of the rumor, Lianyi, was indeed living in the Prince's Mansion at this time, but the person who revolved around her was not the Prince, but the Crown Princess.
Because from the very beginning, Lian Yi saved the Crown Princess instead of the Crown Prince, but it was misrepresented by someone and became the version that is circulating now.
Lianyi gently waved the round fan in her hand and said to the dignified woman who was peeling grapes beside her:
"Jun Wan, please help me clarify this. I don't want to spread rumors with your man."
After hearing this, Zhuang Junwan glanced at Lianyi in a reproachful manner, continued peeling the grapes in her hand, and said lightly:
"It's not that Jun Wan doesn't want to clarify, but even if she did, some people would think that I was instructed by the Crown Prince and would slander him even more. It would be better to do nothing and see what evil winds they will stir up."
Lianyi rolled her eyes in her heart after hearing this, but she didn't want to have a scandal with the prince. She only used this method to sneak into Shengjing in order to find the evil god's clone more conveniently. Unexpectedly, she happened to witness the assassination of the Crown Princess Zhuang Junwan.
That day, she was riding on a tornado, swaying on the road to Shengjing. When she passed by a green tent, she heard the sound of knives colliding and screams of pain. She swept her spiritual sense and found Zhuang Junwan and his group.
But at that time, Zhuang Junwan looked a little embarrassed, with messy hair and pale face. She was holding a long sword in her hand and was retreating out of the green gauze tent under the protection of the guards. However, the masked men who besieged them had no intention of letting them go and attacked the guards with deadly moves.
Lianyi saw the almost faint dragon aura on Zhuang Junwan, so she was sure that this woman was connected to the royal family. Even if she was not a princess, she must be able to get close to the royal family. So she held Duoduo, who had transformed into a red whip, and rescued Zhuang Junwan from the masked man.
Lianyi has always been very cautious in doing things. In order not to arouse suspicion, she did not kill all the masked men. She just whipped them unconscious and left the rest to the people in the Prince's Mansion.
Because of Lianyi's action, Zhuang Junwan recognized her and took off the auspicious cloud jade pendant from her waist and gave it to Lianyi on the spot, asking Lianyi to escort her back to Shengjing.
This jade pendant is a symbol of status, representing that the banker owes her a favor. As long as it does not violate morality, the banker will satisfy it.
Lianyi looked at Zhuang Junwan, who was embarrassed but not panicked, and she still admired such a woman. After all, she had just been through a near-death experience, yet she was able to calmly bribe her helper.
Moreover, escorting the other party into Shengjing did not conflict with her destination, so she gladly accepted the other party's invitation and served as Zhuang Junwan's personal bodyguard, escorting her all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.
Crown Prince Ye Hengyan had already received the news and had gathered his men to rescue his wife. However, before he even left the mansion, someone came back with a report that the Crown Princess had been rescued by a chivalrous woman, who was now escorting her back, so he should wait in the mansion without worry.
After the prince confirmed that the news was accurate, he waited anxiously in the prince's mansion. It was not that he didn't care about Jun Wan, it was just because he was the prince, but the position of the prince was not stable. Several adult brothers were eyeing the position of the prince and were hoping that he would make a mistake, so he could not make a wrong step.
Zhuang Junwan is the eldest daughter of the prime minister Zhuang Qing. Their marriage is a powerful alliance. If anything happens to Zhuang Junwan, not only will Prime Minister Zhuang feel resentful towards him, but it will also indirectly weaken the prince's power. Therefore, the one who is most worried about Zhuang Junwan's misfortune is the prince.
When the prince saw Zhuang Junwan was safe and sound, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He turned around to thank Lianyi and asked Lianyi what she wanted.
Before Lianyi could even speak, Zhuang Junwan spoke up:
"Your Highness, I'm sure you know what happened to me today. I don't know how many people are hoping that something bad will happen to you and me. This time I met Lady Honglan, but what about next time? How many Lady Honglans can save me?"
The prince was not stupid, he immediately understood what Junwan meant, so he was willing to pay a large sum of money to ask Lianyi to protect Zhuang Junwan personally. Lianyi smiled and said:
"My name is Hong Lan, and I am nicknamed 'Rakshasa Woman' by the people of Jianghu. If the Crown Prince and Crown Princess want to invite me, it would be best if you know more about me first. If you don't mind, I will naturally have no problem."
Afterwards, Lianyi temporarily lived in the guest house of the Prince's Mansion and did not enter the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. Because of Lianyi's gender, rumors spread.
Although the royal family does not participate in the affairs of the martial arts world, they are familiar with it and have heard of Lianyi's name. After reading the results of the investigation, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess decisively asked Lianyi to protect the Crown Princess personally.
In fact, when Lianyi met the prince, she planned to stay close to the two of them, because the prince's face was very strange. He was obviously destined to be rich and respected, but now he was overcast and looked like he would die young. It was obvious that something was interfering with the prince's fate.
Anything that can change a person's fate in a short period of time is definitely not a good thing, so Lianyi went with the flow and moved into the Prince's Mansion.
Also because Lianyi is a man of the world, not fussy about details, and not involved with any forces around the two of them, Zhuang Junwan is very willing to stay with Lianyi and chat.
The matter about the ripple rumor was told to the Crown Princess by the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion, which led to the conversation between the two at the beginning.
"Honglan, eat your grapes and don't pay attention to the rumors."
Zhuang Junwan placed the peeled grapes on a white porcelain plate, gently pushed it in front of Lianyi and said.
Lian Yi nodded and smiled, then said:
"If you are nice to someone for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Junwan sighed helplessly:
"In two days it will be the Empress Dowager's sixtieth birthday. The Emperor wants to hold a grand ceremony. The Crown Prince and I must attend. I'd like to trouble you to come with me to the palace."
Lian Yi understood after hearing this:
"I see. This kind of environment is often the easiest to be plotted against. Those who want to attack you will definitely not miss this opportunity."
Zhuang Junwan nodded and said:
"That's true. It's easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. So Hong Lan must follow me closely."
"I understand. I will make sure that you and the prince return safe and sound."
Lianyi smiled and assured that this time she was really waiting for a pillow, and she could just enter the palace openly to check.
Because of the existence of Bai Wen, the imperial teacher, she suspected that something might have gone wrong in the palace, so she took this opportunity to investigate. Once they entered the palace, Duoduo and Xuanfeng would be able to show their strengths. She wanted to see where the evil god's clone was hiding. (End of this chapter)
