marry the princess

Chapter 14 Aftermath
Because of this sudden attack on the road, Murong Huayi and Su Leyan's visit to the General's Mansion was put on hold.

This assassination involved the fourteenth prince of the royal family and the daughter of the great general of the dynasty, and it happened in the imperial city at the foot of the emperor. The matter spread quickly, and people always talk about it after drinking and eating.However, in the imperial court, it was not as simple as being talked about casually. Emperor Murong Qingyu was furious, and personally sent people to investigate and deal with the matter.

Murong Yu looked at Murong Qingyu furiously in the court hall, but still smiled calmly and calmly.

It's a big deal that needs to be thoroughly investigated.

One day later, the Fourteenth Palace.

The security in the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion was more stringent than the previous days. When Qingyue was walking in the mansion, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she saw the changing guards.

When she returned to Shuixin Pavilion, Su Leyan was standing on the attic looking out, staring into the distance, wondering what she was thinking.Qingyue walked up the wooden ladder with the soothing soup and stood behind her, with a soft voice, "Miss, I went to the kitchen and brought the soothing soup."

Su Leyan turned her head and glanced at the soup in Qingyue's hand, then walked into the room, "Bring it in."

"Miss has not been in a good mood for the past few days, are you still worried about what happened that day?" Qingyue put the soothing soup on the table next to Su Leyan, and looked at Su Leyan's face.

"I have something on my mind" was clearly written on Su Leyan's face, but they all thought that Su Leyan was frightened, and no one knew what she was really worried about.

"Miss, don't worry." Seeing that she didn't answer, Qingyue comforted her, "The Fourteenth Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded recently, and there will not be any thieves who are bold enough to break into the Prince's Mansion. The Prince's Mansion is very safe. The Prince is very vigilant against this The matter, even the emperor personally issued an order, and he will definitely find out the truth of this matter and catch those assassins, so the lady can rest assured."

Su Leyan looked at Qingyue, and smiled weakly, "Do I look like I'm scared to death?"

Qingyue lowered her eyebrows, "Qingyue dare not say."

"Is there anything you dare not say?" Su Leyan stood up from the table, turned around and walked to the window in the back room, "Aren't I just a cowardly and cowardly woman? Greedy for life and afraid of death... If it wasn't for fear of death , why am I standing here now?"

Su Leyan's every move really makes Qingyue feel that she is such a cowardly and cowardly woman, but when a person can so calmly say that she is weak and incompetent, it also makes people feel defensive - a person who sees herself clearly When you are weak, you will try your best to reverse it.But looking at Su Leyan's back, Qingyue didn't doubt her.She was shrouded in sadness and melancholy, which made people feel compassion.

The woman in front of her is a poor woman, at the mercy of others, without herself.

In the study room of the palace, Murong Huayi was sitting on the black wooden chair behind the desk, with his back facing the sun, Wei Lie standing in front couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Where was the Seventh Prince that day?"

"According to the investigation of my subordinates, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince went to the Fengqing Theater that day, and took the entire theater to watch the play together with the Ninth Prince. Everyone in the Seventh Prince's House knows the itinerary. The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince He did indeed enter the theater." Wei Lie lowered his head, feeling very ashamed, "However, my subordinates have not found any evidence that can prove that the Seventh Prince has been in Fengqing Theater."

Fengqing Theater?It was far away from the place where they were attacked, almost half the way around the imperial city.

"It seems that the Seventh Prince and His Highness the Ninth Prince are very partial to that theater. There is no evidence?" Murong Huayi tightened his crossed hands slightly, "Isn't His Highness the Ninth Highness the best witness?"

Murong Huayi glanced down at his arm covered with white bandages, "The arrow that hit me was poisoned, do the people in the court know?"

"Yes, although the lord ordered not to spread the matter, the emperor and officials of the second rank and above all know about it."

"Well," Murong Huayi raised the corner of his mouth, "as long as they know."

"Such a big thing has happened, my palace should be lively." Murong Huayi stood up from the black wooden chair, "I have ordered someone to send a letter to General Yan. You go and take care of it." Check with the Seventh Prince, I need more evidence."

Wei Lie clasped his fists in command, "Your Highness, Wei Lie still needs your instruction on something."

"What's the matter?"

"Mo Niang from Wanhualou seems to be involved in this matter."

Hearing Mo Niang's name, Murong Huayi frowned, "What's wrong with Mo Niang?"

"Because of the flow of arrows, the whole street was sealed off. In the Xianzi Building, which the prince suspected most, a bow and arrow was found in a room on the third floor. There were also arrows in the same room as those shot on the carriage. The prince and When the princess was attacked, the assassin who attacked should be that room..."

"What does this have to do with Mo Niang?"

Wei Lie lowered his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Although when the subordinate went to investigate, the owner of Xianzilou said that no one came in and out of the room that day because of the need to replace the tables, chairs, painting screens and other things in the room, but , Mo Niang sent a letter to her subordinates saying that she was in that room that day."

Murong Huayi fell into deep thought.

Mo Niang is the signboard of Wanhualou, with stunning beauty, good at dancing, and famous in the whole imperial city, many dignitaries, dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen will spend a lot of money to see her dance.But in fact, she is Murong Huayi's subordinate, and she stays in the Wanhualou in the name of an oiran. She can communicate with all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the open, and secretly manages the entire Wanhualou.Originally, the last time he went to Wanhualou and bumped into Murong Yu and Murong Yunnuo, he planned to retreat from the forces of Wanhualou, but all matters have not been fully resolved, and Mo Niang has not withdrawn yet...

"Where is Mo Niang now?"

"Standby in the Flower Mansion."

Murong Huayi supported his forehead with a headache, and was silent for a while, "There must be many eyes staring at me right now, I don't want to see her, and tell me the ins and outs of the matter."

"Mo Niang was nominated by Boss Zhang, a salt merchant of the imperial dynasty, and she made an appointment three days ago to meet her. But she received a conspiracy, and now she knows that someone has been fascinated by her rouge." When she wakes up, she finds herself in the Immortal Purple Tower. Mo Niang is very guilty about this matter, she doesn't know who has plotted against her."

When Murong Huayi heard this, his slender fingers squeezed until the bones were visible.

"I see, you go down first. On Mo Niang's side, it's the same as usual, tell her that she doesn't need to worry, everything will be fine as usual, and the king will take care of the rest."

"Yes!"

After Wei Lie stepped back, Murong Huayi stood there for a long time without moving.

It seems that he has already made a move, and it is time for him to accept his move...
