Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 173
"There are not many people in this capital who dare to disrespect the prince. Does the prince not have any thoughts?"

"There are too many people who want to be unfavorable to this king. According to what the princess means, shouldn't this king want to ask everyone one by one?" The fact is exactly the opposite. There are thousands of people who are enemies of the Su family, and the target group is too large. , It takes a lot of time and energy to check one by one.

"...The concubine doesn't mean that."

Su Yichen sat up straight and seemed to let out a deep breath. "You are right about one thing, daring to do evil in Wei Wang's mansion shows that this person is definitely not ordinary, and killing people without being noticed shows that his martial arts are comparable to many soldiers of the Su family, and he is familiar with the environment of the palace... To meet these two conditions, Either this person is from the mansion, or this person has already made plans for the palace, and has been lurking by our side for a while."

"The concubine doesn't know much about the interpersonal structure in the mansion. According to the prince, who is most likely to be the real culprit behind this incident?"

Su Yichen's slightly lowered eyes were deep: "I heard that you brought a woman back a few days ago?"

Xu Ruqing didn't know why he suddenly brought up this matter, but she still replied truthfully: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing."

"You are such a careful person, don't you think about checking her details?"

"This...no."

According to Xu Ruqing's style of work, she thought about sending someone to find out the details of Yan Xiang'er, but she was distracted by other things at the time, so she didn't continue to follow up on this matter.

"My lord, are you suspicious..." Xu Ruqing asked uncertainly.

Su Yichen didn't say it directly, but took out a booklet from under the thick stack of memorials and handed it to Xu Ruqing.

Xu Ruqing took the booklet and opened it. What was written in it was a background introduction about Yan Xiang, the eldest son of Hou Zhongyong who disappeared three years ago.

"Yan Xiang, if I remember correctly, he is the second son-in-law of Governor Ouyang, the husband of Ouyang Biqian."

The marriage between the Ouyang family and the Yan family was pointed out by the Empress Dowager Huiwen when she was alive, but the marriage of the two did not last for a long time. The child also disappeared, and it was later heard that Yan Xiang carried the child and died following Ouyang Biqian.

"After Lord Ouyang's second daughter passed away, Yan Xiang, the eldest son of the Zhongyonghou, also disappeared strangely. Three years later, the Zhongyonghou took in another adoptive daughter and named him Yan Xiang'er. Don't you think it's all too coincidental?"

Xu Ruqing carefully chewed what Su Yichen said, and combined with the clues he had found before, the truth soon had a rough outline.

"If he just changed his identity and took the child away to start a new life, what was his reason for doing so? I mean, why didn't he dare to be himself without political factors?"

In ancient times, a man could have three wives and four concubines, and Yan Xiang had a man of eight feet. It would be no problem if he wanted to find a second wife to raise the child together. Even if a man alone raised the child, it was normal in this era. Why did Yan Xiang pretend to be a woman? Identity, live in this world with humiliation?

Hearing this, Su Yichen slightly raised his head to meet her pure and clear eyes, and said only four words: "Because of the world."

Because of the mundane...

At that moment, Xu Ruqing seemed to understand.

"who's that person?"

Su Yichen knew who she was asking, but he had no way to tell her about it.

He took back the booklet in Xu Ruqing's hand, his eyes full of tiredness: "This matter involves a lot, my king has already sent Xuan Ming to report this matter to Jing Zhaoyin in the city, and someone from the government will find out later. You'd better Stop, don't continue to investigate."

"Since the prince doesn't want to say it, the concubine will investigate it herself. The concubine must take care of this matter, and I ask the prince to make it happen."

"Give me a reason why you insist on doing this, why?"

Xu Ruqing seemed to sigh, and said: "No reason, just because she betrayed my trust in her, she must pay the corresponding price for those four innocent souls who died in vain in the court."

"The concubine has benefited a lot from listening to the prince's words. I would like to thank the prince for his enlightenment. The concubine will leave." After speaking, Xu Ruqing bowed politely, turned and left the study.

Su Yichen looked at Xu Ruqing's cold back, with many thoughts in his heart.

She has really changed, and she has become so principled that no one can easily change what she believes.

Su Yichen rubbed his temples tiredly, closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, his bony fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden table in front of him, and then he opened his eyes slowly, "Xuan Ming."

A ghostly shadow came out of the darkness: "This subordinate is here."

"You go and take out the things in the second secret compartment and return them to the tenth prince's mansion. When you see the tenth prince, you say that this king can't fulfill the promise he made with him as promised. Return the things to him and persuade him to do it himself."

Xuanming heard the words with regret and disbelief in his eyes, and he deliberately persuaded: "My lord, what the ten princes gave you is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that is good for your legs. Doctor Zhang said that his newly developed prescription is just for you. Missing this medicine, and looking for this herb for a long time, are you sure you want to give up this Ganoderma lucidum to others for the sake of the princess?"

As the prince's secret guard, Xuan Ming always hid in the dark to protect him, so he naturally heard every word of the conversation between the two of them.As the prince said, there are many things involved in this matter, and if you don't pay attention, you may be killed. He thinks that there is no need for the prince to delay the treatment of the leg disease in order to fulfill the unreasonable troubles of the princess.

"Xuan Ming, when did this king not know that you are such a talkative person?"

Sensing the coldness in Su Yichen's words, Xuanming quickly knelt down: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

"Since you know your mistake, why don't you hurry up and do what the king told you?"

Xuan Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to swallow the words welling up in his mouth. "yes."

……

The imperial palace, the tenth prince's residence.

"He really said that?"

Xuan Ming nodded: "Yes, the prince also said to let the tenth prince you, so that you can do it yourself."

Long put down the brocade box in his hands dejectedly, with a look of loneliness on his face: "I haven't seen you for so many years, the emperor really hasn't changed at all, as before, he will always stand high and stay out of things."

Xuan Ming pursed his lips: "The tenth prince's words are wrong, let me say something more, it is your people who broke the rules first. You know, the most taboo thing for the prince is that others do things without his consent. people."

"Could it be that the friendship between me and him is not worth the lives of a few servants?"

"Since it is human life, there is no distinction between high and low."

After hearing Xuan Ming's words, Long Huai was silent.
