Rebirth of the silly girl Chengfei

Chapter 139

At the gate of the palace on the north side, Zhao Fangyan untied a spare horse, got on the horse and left.

She pulled the reins fiercely, the horse galloped, and there was another sound of hooves behind her, obviously Yu Qingyun also rode the horse and followed.

After leaving Shunjing, to the north of the city is a vast wilderness connecting the mountains.

Zhao Fangyan slowed down, looked around, and searched carefully.

Unexpectedly, she saw Yu Wangyan under a hill.

When the two people's eyes met, Yu Wangyan's eyes darkened obviously, there was surprise in it, but more of it was a bottomless undercurrent.

"Miss Zhao, Your Highness Fourth." He cupped his hands, expressionless.

Zhao Fangyan got off the horse, and because of the excessive speed, his knee hurt severely, as if a bone had been broken.

She frowned and held back, and bowed to Yu Wangyan, "Fang Yan met His Royal Highness King Jin. King Jin, may I ask why you are here?"

Yu forgets to say a word.

Zhao Fangyan came over and looked to the side of Yu Wangyan, and soon found something eye-catching on the ground behind him.

"Miss Zhao, slow down."

Regardless of Yu Qingyun's reminder, Zhao Fangyan walked quickly to those things, leaned over to pick them up and inspect them.

This turned out to be a fireworks tube, which had already been used, leaving a half-black shell.She opened one of the firework tubes and poured out a hand of burnt ashes, mixed with some kind of strange white powder.

what is this?
Zhao Fangyan had never seen such a white powder.She took out the veil, carefully wrapped up a part of the powder, put it in the clothes properly, and then carefully inspected the fireworks tubes.

There are dozens of fireworks tubes, arranged in a zigzag line on the ground, all of which have the same shape.Zhao Fangyan opened another one, and poured out the same residue and white powder.

"King Jin, are you here to check, like Fangyan?" Zhao Fangyan raised his head and asked.

Yu Wangyan looked away coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said nothing.

Doubt, like a seed, was sown in Zhao Fangyan's heart.

She knew that King Jin was reserved and reticent, but he was not such an indifferent person.Why is he so indifferent right now?Don't want to say it, or can't say it?

Yu Qingyun bowed to Yu Wangyan, and smiled kindly: "King Jin, when I was leaving the palace, I happened to see Princess Jin at the palace gate on the north side of the imperial palace. She must be waiting for you."

Yu Wangyan's expression changed slightly, and the complexities in his eyes made Yu Qingyun unable to understand, but he murmured: "Thank you for telling me, my lord."

"You and my brother, why should you be so polite." After Yu Qingyun finished speaking, she glanced at Zhao Fangyan and said in a low voice, "This time...Miss Zhao was really hit hard."

"... Mmm." Yu Wang hesitated to speak.

"King Jin, do you have something on your mind? Why do I see that you are frowning."

"It's nothing." Yu Wangyan said: "The king is going to pick up Se, and leave."

"Hey, King Jin!" Yu Qingyun called, but saw that Yu Wangyan had already stepped on the horse, whipping his whip and walking away.

He walked quickly, and his figure disappeared into the distance.

But Yu Qingyun, who was looking at his back, couldn't see the coldness on his face that seemed to shatter at any moment.

Yu Wangyan breathed heavily, and the wind poured into his stomach, and the sound of the wind couldn't cover up his breathing.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't have the confidence to face Zhao Fangyan.

This incident, on the surface, seemed to be condemned by God, but he knew that it was actually a man-made disaster.He has even guessed who caused this man-made disaster.

This person and horse gradually disappeared into the distance, Zhao Fangyan looked over, feeling suspicious in his heart.

She walked towards her horse, and said to Yu Qingyun, "When we were offering sacrifices, there were bursts of bangs from the north of the city. It wasn't thunder, but the explosion of these fireworks."

Yu Qingyun was surprised, recalled it for a moment, and said: "I remember, the thunder was accompanied by lightning. Just after the thunder sounded, there was lightning across the sky in the north of the city."

"Fan Yan believes that it must not be real lightning." Zhao Fangyan said: "Your Highness, you can think about it carefully. Usually, when there is thunder and rain, you will first see the lightning and then hear the thunder."

Yu Qingyun was startled, her eyes deepened, "You're right. Just now... there was indeed thunder first and then lightning."

"So, Fang Yan suspects that the lightning is the pattern formed in the air after these fireworks exploded."

Zhao Fangyan pointed to the fireworks tubes on the ground, "Fourth Highness, please look at the placement of these fireworks tubes, they don't seem to be placed randomly."

What she said seemed to make sense, but it was still unbelievable.Yu Qingyun said: "Every year and festivals, people set off fireworks around the capital to celebrate. It is only at night that they can see the splendor of the fireworks clearly. As for the daytime... I feel that no matter how bright the fireworks are, they can't compare to sunlight."

"So Fangyan suspects that there may be something extra in this fireworks tube..." Zhao Fangyan murmured, the most suspicious thing in her heart was the strange white powder she poured out of the fireworks tube.

That thing is not gunpowder, what could it be?
"Fourth Highness, Fang Yan can't relax yet, there are still things to be confirmed." She looked at Yu Qingyun, "I am really happy that Fourth Highness can accompany me to this time. Your Highness, please go back home soon , Fang Yan also bid farewell."

"Alright." Yu Qingyun smiled slightly: "Then let's go back to the city together. I'll send you to the door of your house and then go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty the Fourth Highness."

In the distance, Yu Wangyan hastened to the north city gate.

With the badge symbolizing the prince's status, he rode his horse directly into the city, and no officers and soldiers dared to ask more questions.

After entering the city, the speed of the horses slowed down, but Yu Wangyan's heart became more anxious.

He closed his eyes, tried to adjust his emotions, turned a corner at the entrance of the street, and instead of going to the emperor's palace, he changed his way to Prince Jin's mansion.

On the way, he met Shan Zong, thought about it, and asked Shan Zong to go to the imperial palace to take care of Xiao Sesel, and waited for him to return to the imperial palace to pick her up.

Prince Jin's mansion has always been relatively deserted.It is said that King Jin likes to be quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed, so there are relatively few visitors to King Jin's Mansion.

Yu Wangyan rode his horse to a stop at the gate of the mansion, got off his horse, and rushed in.

"Jin, His Royal Highness King Jin!" The guard at the door hurriedly saluted, trying to stop him, but couldn't stop him at all.

The guard had no choice but to rush to the study and shouted loudly: "My lord! His Royal Highness King Jin has passed the residence!"

Almost as soon as the guard's voice fell, a black shadow quickly passed by on the roof of the study.The frightening speed completely fooled the guard's eyes, but Yu Wangyan still saw it.

"who!"

He roared in a deep voice.

In broad daylight, who dares to sneak around in Prince Jin's mansion?
His heart trembled, fearing that King Jin in the study would be murdered, Yu Wangyan ran over with all his might, and shouted, "Father!"

The door of the study creaked and was pushed open.

Standing under the door was King Jin, who looked unharmed, but his face was extremely cold.

Seeing that he was fine, Yu Wangyan heaved a sigh of relief. For a moment, he didn't notice the expression on King Jin's face, so he quickly walked up to King Jin and asked, "Father, what's the matter with you? Just now a figure came from the roof of the study. Skimmed over."

"Shadow?" King Jin murmured in disbelief, shaking his head, "You probably got it wrong..."

"I'm not mistaken." Yu Wangyan said firmly.

"It's fine as long as nothing happened." King Jin turned around and went back to the house, "Forget the words, come in and talk."

"Yes."

After Yu Wangyan came in, he closed the door.

It was dark in the study, and none of the windows were open.This made Yu Wangyan wonder why his father had to stay in the dark and airtight room just now.

But right now, what he and King Jin want to say is extremely confidential.Yu Wangyan sighed, looked at King Jin's back, and said solemnly: "Since the assassination of the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Jiaolan Palace last time, I tried my best to persuade my father, but it seems that it was in vain."

King Jin snorted coldly: "I knew it, you would come to question me."

"Father..." Yu Wangyan seemed to feel a colic in his heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and said calmly: "The members of the sacrificial group died too innocently!"

"Innocent?" King Jin said coldly, "They died in the line of duty with their own bodies, and they deserved their death."

"Why did you do that?" Yu Wangyan's fists were already tightly clenched under his sleeves, trembling along with his trembling body.

"Father, peace is not easy to come by. We should not attempt to rekindle the war between Dayao and the Northern Wei Dynasty for our own selfishness. We should not kill the priests of the sacrificial group because of this. They have no grievances against us."

"Heh, do you have to have grievances and enmities to be harmed?" King Jin said coldly, his tone becoming resentful.

"Forget the words, you said that I disregarded other people for my own selfishness. Back then, Emperor Tianying forcibly snatched your mother and concubine into the imperial palace for his own selfishness, and caused my wife to leave. Did he care about you, my father and son? "

Yu Wangyan was shocked, and frowned tightly, "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. Emperor Tianying made a mistake, and we will take revenge. However, if what the father did today is known to outsiders one day, it will definitely will invite their revenge."

"Who are they...?" King Jin turned around slowly, his old and yellow face looked a little dark in the dim light.

"Are you referring to Zhao Fangyan, or Xiao Sesu?"

Yu Wangyan's clenched fist suddenly shrank again, "... Sese is not an outsider."

"So you want to tell her that I am the one behind this seemingly natural and man-made disaster."

"...Never." Yu Wangyan's words were bitten hard.

He won't tell Thurse the truth of this incident. The king's father is becoming more and more murderous towards Thurse. Only by letting Thurse know nothing can her safety be guaranteed.

King Jin seemed to sigh, walked towards a chair a little stooped, and sat down slowly.

"Forget the words..." There was a pot of rare white marigolds on the small table, he fiddled with the petals twice, and murmured: "No one will know the truth about what happened today."

Yu Wangyan frowned and said, "Don't take it lightly."

"Are you afraid that Zhao Fangyan will find out about me?" King Jin raised his eyes to look over, and there was clearly a cold murderous look in those dark eyes.

"It's better for people to be stupid. Only when they are stupid can they be safe. If Zhao Fangyan and the rest of the sacrificial group are too smart, then they have no choice but to die."

The suddenly cold atmosphere hit Yu Wangyan immediately. He listened to King Jin's words, looked at his father's old but murderous face, and felt an unbelievable feeling in his heart, like—this study It gradually turned into a coiled silk hole, filled with spider webs, and he was covered by these webs one by one, making it more and more difficult to breathe.And not far away from him, Se Se, Zhao Fangyan, and many others were also entangled in spider silk circles, gradually being submerged...
