Jiaochu

Chapter 273 Guards

Commander Wu has already found a clue. When King Liu was drinking and listening to the piano in Zixue Pavilion, Liu's mother came to Yanruo and whispered a few words. Yanruo apologized to King Liu and said that he had something to deal with and would come back as soon as possible. King Liu refused to comply and attracted Shen Ning with loud noises. Shen Ning helped Yan Ruo to rescue Yan Ruo, and Yan Ruo was able to escape.

Afterwards, King Liu and Shen Ning, the young uncle, drank and had a good time. After getting drunk, they rested in the box, leaving only one guard to guard the door.

Late at night, Zixue Pavilion was about to close. Shen Ning and her friends made an appointment to admire the moon, and they left together.Then the guard went downstairs and asked the waiter to bring a bowl of hangover soup upstairs. When the waiter came up with the hangover soup, he saw the guard opening the door and letting a young man in.

After handing the sobering soup to the guard, the waiter didn't want to stay any longer and went back downstairs to clean up the dishes.

Where the young man went after that, the clerk didn't know.

"Isn't that Commander Wu, and Master Yuan?"

Hearing Ye Lingxi's clear voice, Princess Pingnan retracted her thoughts and looked forward.Commander Wu and Yuan Luo each came over with two of their men, followed by a submissive man.

After the two saluted, Princess Pingnan looked at the waiter with his head lowered behind him. Yuan Luo introduced the waiter's identity with a gentle smile. It was the waiter who delivered the hangover soup. After roughly telling the whole story, Yuan Luo introduced the waiter's identity. Luo apologized and said, "I shouldn't have disturbed the prince. Please forgive me, princess."

Princess Pingnan said: "Your Excellency also acts impartially, so why should I be guilty?"

Seeing Ye Lingxi and Princess Pingnan leaving and returning, bringing with them Commander Wu, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and Yuan Luo, the commander of the Imperial City Division, Imperial Physician Han and Bai Hu were calm and calm, not in a state of nervousness or fear, while Wen Ji was You keep your head down and pretend to be quail, just for fear of saying the wrong thing and getting into trouble.

Yuan Luo first inquired about Meng Tianlan's situation with concern, and Imperial Physician Han gave similar answers. Yuan Luo said that they had something important to discuss, and Imperial Physician Han took Bai Hu and Wen Ji to leave first.When Wen Ji walked to the door, he glanced back at the waiter again, with inquiry and curiosity in his eyes.

"Is this the young master?"

Yuan Luo signaled, and the waiter raised his head and looked forward. His eyes looked at Meng Tianlan's face for a while, and he hesitated and said that he wasn't sure, it looked a bit similar.

"There are not just one or two people who look alike in the world. Did you see clearly at that time?" Yuan Luo asked.

The waiter replied solemnly: "I just took a look at it at that time, but I didn't see it very clearly. Maybe I saw it wrong. I'm not sure whether it's this young master or not."

"Maybe you saw it wrong." Ye Lingxi said.

The waiter nodded in agreement, "I must have misunderstood. At that time, I was busy wiping the table, clearing the dishes, and going to deliver hangover soup to the distinguished guest upstairs. I was so busy that I lost my head looking at the flowers. Even after a quick glance, I didn't see the young master's face, and I don't know if he is this young master..."

Seeing that the waiter couldn't explain the reason, Yuan Luo asked one of his men to take the waiter out, and apologized to Princess Pingnan, saying that it was his duty, and Princess Pingnan expressed her understanding.

"I heard that there is a guard guarding the door before. Does this guard know anything?" Princess Pingnan said.Yuan Luo posed this question to Commander Wu: "I wonder if Commander Wu has found the person?" Commander Wu shook his head, indicating that the person has not been found yet.

The master died, and the guard disappeared again. Ye Lingxi thought that there must be some kind of connection between them. If the guard colluded with outsiders to set up a scheme to kill King Liu, they should cooperate inside and outside...

Commander Wu glanced at Ye Lingxi, who was thinking deeply, and wondered what other strange ideas came into the mind of the third princess.

"The Emperor has given a three-day deadline to solve the case. The deadline is coming soon. If no new clues are found yet, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Emperor to explain." Yuan Luo looked at Commander Wu, as if to say, "We are tied to the same rope now." grasshoppers on the ground.”Commander Wu did not answer the call, his expression was solemn, and he was also quite troubled by the confusing aspects of the case.Yuan Luo turned his attention to Meng Tianlan who was lying on the bed, "I just hope that the prince will wake up soon, maybe the person who took the prince away is the person we are looking for."

Ye Lingxi thought that it was probably the same group of people. Did the mastermind behind this want to make a fuss about King Liu's affairs to suppress the Southern Territory, or did he have a more ulterior purpose? The more important point is that the mastermind behind this Was it someone from the court, one of the envoys from the feudal lords, or was it the work of spies from other countries?
After coming out of the Imperial Hospital, Princess Pingnan and Yuan Luo went in their own directions.Commander Wu stopped Ye Lingxi to speak alone, while Hehe and Lingdang stood by.

"What do you think of the guard I just mentioned?" Commander Wu asked straight to the point.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be seriously asking for her opinion, Ye Lingxi was a little flattered and told her speculations and thoughts truthfully. She speculated that the guard had been bribed and now that his master was dead, he would have been silenced. If not for hiding.

Commander Wu also thought about this. He had been sending people to search for his whereabouts since he found out that the guard was missing, and he also investigated all the details of the guard.

This guard is called He Chi. He worked as a guard in Prince Liu's mansion five years ago. He is cautious and ruthless in his work. He has a life-threatening ruthlessness in him. He secretly helped Prince Liu deal with countless shady things and treated Prince Liu very much. Loyal, obedient, and deeply trusted by King Liu, he is King Liu's most capable subordinate and confidant, and can be said to be King Liu's right-hand man.

If this person was truly loyal but never showed up, he was probably killed or seriously injured and unable to move, otherwise he would seek justice for his master.

……

Before dinner, a confidential letter was delivered to Ye Lanchen.After opening the secret letter and seeing the letter inside, he frowned slightly and his expression became a little solemn.

"Is anyone going to visit the Imperial Hospital today?" Ye Lanchen picked up the tea cup and scratched it a few times, with a hint of edge hidden in his eyes.

Eunuch De then told the people who were visiting today in chronological order. When he mentioned the couple Murong Min and Rong Xian, Ye Lanchen paused while lightly scratching the tea cup, then took a sip of tea and said nothing. what.After Eunuch De finished his answer, Ye Lanchen thought for a moment, glanced at the secret letter in front of him, and said, "King Pingnan has received the news, and Fang Bing has arrived with the Red Armor Army."

De Gong said fairly: "The prince is also concerned about the safety of the princess and the prince. General Fang has been on the battlefield for a long time and is not a reckless person. He will not cause any trouble in the future."

"I hope so." Ye Lanchen put down the tea cup and looked at the secret letter in front of him, his eyes deep and sharp.
