Jiaochu

When Ling Dang came over with Commander Wu and two guards, there was no one there.

Commander Wu walked over to check the little blue and white snake and asked a guard to take it to Dr. Han. Lingdang looked around anxiously, but saw no trace of Ye Lingxi and others.

At this time, a scream came from behind. Commander Wu rushed over immediately, but Zing Ding couldn't keep up and fell behind.

On the way, Commander Wu met a young eunuch who was so frightened that he stumbled forward. Hearing that someone was dead in front of him, he followed the direction pointed by the young eunuch and rushed to a small courtyard.

Ye Lingxi, Murong Ze and He He are all here.

He He was in shock and his face turned pale.

Ye Lingxi showed Commander Wu the inside of the room, his expression too quiet.

Commander Wu asked the guards to stay, and he walked into the house. After a while, Lingdang hurried in and saw that Ye Lingxi was safe and sound, and her heart finally fell. When she ran up to him, she saw that Ye Lingxi didn't say a word and asked He He with her eyes. He He shook his head slightly and didn't know what happened.

After she pushed Murong Ze into the yard, Xiao Qianzi had already entered the house holding Ye Lingxi hostage. Murong Ze once again offered to be a hostage. If something happened to Ye Lingxi, he would not be able to escape his involvement. He would be charged with standing by and failing to protect her, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to get rid of it.

After hearing him explain these interests, Xiao Qianzi seemed to be amused. After Hehe pushed Murongze into the house, he asked her to close the door and wait in the yard. So she didn't know what happened in the house.

After the door opened, she bravely ran over to take a look and saw a person lying on the ground. It was Xiao Qianzi, while Ye Lingxi and Murong Ze were unharmed.

It happened that a young eunuch came to see Xiao Qianzi, who was in charge of flowers and trees, and then found someone dead in the house. Murongze asked him to go to Commander Wu to bring him over, so Commander Wu met the young eunuch who came to report the news on the way. .

Commander Wu checked the cause of Xiao Qianzi's death and found that there were no external injuries on the body, no blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and he did not commit suicide by biting his tongue. The color of his lips was normal, and he did not take poison. It was like a sudden illness or sudden death. Commander Wu checked the floor, tables, chairs and beds again, but found nothing suspicious. There was no sign of a fight in the room.

After Commander Wu came out, Murong Ze said: "The princess was frightened and went back first. If Commander Wu wants to ask anything, just ask this prince." He carelessly smoothed the blanket on his knees. At this time, Jingzhe came back and brought A medicine bottle was handed to Murong Ze. He poured out a pill and took it, then put the medicine bottle into his sleeve, signaling to Commander Wu that he could ask questions. Commander Wu asked about the whole story, and Murongze told what happened.

After he entered the house, the little Qianzi was very friendly at first, talking and laughing, but then suddenly became angry and said that he would dig out their eyeballs. Then he laughed suddenly like a madman, and then fell to the ground. Not moving anymore.

Commander Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Has His Highness the Crown Prince seen anyone suspicious?"

"When Commander Wu said this, I remembered it. At that time, there seemed to be a shadow passing by the window. Maybe I saw it wrong." Murong Ze glanced at the sky, "It's time for me to go back to take a medicinal bath. Commander Wu, do you have any other questions?"

Commander Wu stepped aside, and Jingzhe pushed Murong Ze away.

After Ye Lanchen learned about this, he asked Commander Wu to strengthen the guards in Mingyue Garden, secretly find out Xiao Qianzi's true identity, and report back as soon as there is news.

In the afternoon, Ye Lingxi lay on the table and looked out the window, looking a little listless. Xiao Qianzi's words rang in her mind again.

"I have no enmity with the princess, I just can't stand the condescending look of the princess."

Just because she is a high-ranking princess, she has murderous intentions? But to be honest, she was a more ostentatious princess, and perhaps she was more jealous because of it, but she felt that there must be other reasons behind it... She opened her hand and glanced at the thing in her hand, which was a bell. At that time, after Xiao Qianzi suddenly fell to the ground, he quietly handed this thing into her hand with his last breath. He didn't say anything, just opened his eyes and lost his breath.

She immediately suspected that Murong Ze had done something, but he had been sitting in a wheelchair and had no suspicious behavior.

The bell is just an ordinary bell. It makes a crisp sound when it is shaken. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.

At night, a black shadow swooped up the palace wall, then sneaked into the courtyard and disappeared.

She felt like something was pulling her hair, but when Ye Lingxi opened her eyes, she didn't see anything. She thought it was a dream. The next moment she touched something again in her hand. She picked it up and looked at it through the moonlight outside the window. I looked at it and it was a letter.

She touched the pillow again and brought over a box. After opening it, the light green fluorescence came out, which contained the luminous pearl given by Zhao Ce. After discovering that the bead had a good lighting effect at night, she placed it next to her pillow as a convenient flashlight.

The light of the beads illuminated several sharp tooth marks on the envelope, as if they were left by some small animal with sharp teeth.

After observing the envelope for a few seconds, she tore open the seal and took out the letter and half of the jade ring inside. Then she unfolded the letter and read it carefully. Xiao Qianzi's life experience was written on it.

His real name was Wen Qian, and he was born into a wealthy family. When the previous dynasty fell, the Wen family also suffered disaster. He finally survived, but fell into the hands of human traffickers and was later sold to a killer organization.

The name of this killer organization is Jackdaw.

He is the lowest white crow in this organization and is responsible for gathering information. Three years ago he lurked in a theater troupe and came to the capital, and was then arranged to serve in the palace. A year ago he received an order to get rid of the third princess Ye Lingxi.

He was the one who pulled Ye Lingxi into the koi pond last time.

But it didn't work out.

After that, he took no action until King Liu was killed and Meng Tianlan disappeared. This was a good opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters.

But he didn't intend to take Ye Lingxi's life. What the letter said was to spare her life. If Ye Lingxi repays his kindness, he would find someone for him. His sister, Wen Ning, is now twenty.

There is another half of the jade ring on the body.

After reading the letter, Ye Lingxi looked at the half of the jade ring again, searching for information about the Wen family in her mind. She didn't know much about the previous dynasty, but she had an impression of the word Wen, which was the same as Bai Hu. The young imperial physician who followed Imperial Physician Han to treat Meng Tianlan happened to be named Wen, and his name was Wen Ji. At that time, he specifically mentioned that his name came from the meaning of hanging a pot to help the world, but at first glance it sounded like a plague chicken.

Do you want to go and inquire?

She considers herself not a person who repays kindness with kindness, and it would not be beneficial for her to find someone else.
