Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 158 The important clue is broken 1
The candle shadow shakes red, and the heart is also fascinated.

The candle burns silently, reflecting two obsessed figures in the bed net.

Xu Shi hasn't touched the other person's body for too long, and at this moment, he fully revealed the long-suppressed longing on the lover's side.

Afraid of hurting the child in her womb, he was so cautious.

Love, in many cases, really needs to be expressed in the most direct and simple way.

The next morning, in her sleep, he got up and left.

But she fell asleep until the sun was rising.After waking up, Lian'er told her, "Princess Heshun is here. Seeing that the master hasn't got up, I went to see Lafayette in the Palace of Compassion."

"Did she not say anything?" Xinyi asked.

"A person next to the princess said he has something important to report." Lian'er whispered in her ear.

What could it be?Xinyi hurriedly finished washing and changed her clothes.

"Do you know who it is?" she asked.

"Hello!" Lian'er said in Xinyi's ear, Xinyi was shocked, and hurriedly asked Lian'er to invite Li Yan to the back garden.

Why is he such a eunuch?

Xinyi looked at the back and saw that the man raised his arm to pick the unripe grapes, so she asked Lian Er to bring some refreshments and fruits and then retreated.

"Hey—" She patted Li Yan on the back, and Li Yan was almost scared and sat on the ground.

"Sister-in-law, why are you walking silently now? It's not worth your life to scare people to death!" Li Yan said.

Xinyi chuckled and said, "You're still talking about me? Why did you come in dressed like this? And dragged the princess?"

Li Yan looked around and said in a low voice: "Something went wrong, I don't know how to tell you, that's when I found Ruoxi, please bring me in to see you!"

Seeing him so serious, Xinyi also started thinking about all the bad things.

"Tell me, what is it?" She grabbed his wrist, and his hand involuntarily loosened, and the bunch of grapes fell from his hand to the ground.

Li Yan was startled by her sudden behavior at first, and was speechless for a while, but he thought in his heart that she is now a pregnant woman, and her mood may fluctuate more easily, so——

He comforted with a dry smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. In fact, you should sit down first, sit down." Xinyi realized her gaffe, and quickly sat on the stool to apologize to him.

"It's Yan Siming," he sat across from her, his fingers constantly changing the position of crossing.

Upon hearing the name, she quickly got up and sat on the stool closest to him, staring at his uneasy expression.

"He, he, is dead!" After Li Yan said these words, seeing Xinyi's face turned pale, he held her trembling hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, don't be afraid ,me,"

This sudden change caused Xinyi's mood to drop to an extremely low level.

Yan Siming was an important clue in her family's extermination case. He is dead, how can this be investigated?
"When did it happen? How did he die? Could it be that he was killed?" Xinyi asked.

Li Yan hurriedly peeled a frozen lychee for her and handed it to her, saying: "It's been four or five days, and they said he committed suicide, but you know that my brother-in-law Cai Yuanqin is in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so I asked him secretly, and he said, ,"

"Isn't it suicide?" she asked.

Li Yan nodded, and said: "Cai Yuanqin said that he asked the person handling the case, and he said there was something suspicious. It looks like a suicide, but it is more like a forced suicide."

So the killer found out we were investigating?Xinyi thought.

"Isn't the emperor also investigating? Don't you have any clues?" He asked, and she shook her head.

Li Yan pondered: "Except you and me, no one knows what Yan Siming took from your father. Yan Siming has been safe and sound for so many years, and he has made the officials bigger and bigger. The murderer must be supporting him. After you told me about that incident, I had private contact with Yan Siming and hinted to him about your father, but he pretended not to know."

Xinyi nodded and said: "He must not dare to tell the truth." Then she blamed herself: "I should have told the emperor. In that case, maybe, maybe Yan Siming would not die like this."

"Sister-in-law, you have no choice but to hide it from the emperor, so don't blame yourself now." Li Yan comforted, "What I'm worried about is whether the murderer will target you. Judging from Yan Siming's death, that incident may What important person is involved behind the scenes, that person can make Yan Siming die rather than tell the truth. I'm afraid—"

Xinyi bowed her head and remained silent.

"However, sister-in-law, don't worry too much. There are many suspicious points in that case, and the emperor can definitely find out." Li Yan said, "It's just that, with the current court situation," he stared at Xinyi, "I'm afraid He will not let go of the investigation because of the current situation, and miss the opportunity!"

Xinyi clenched her hands involuntarily, and sighed: "That's true, it's such a mess right now, how do you check?"

Li Yan was silent for a moment, then said: "Sister-in-law, the most important thing is to take care of your body now that you are like this. Since the murderer already knows your existence and knows that the emperor favors you, he may deal with you. I will tell you today This matter is just to let you know that how to investigate that case is not in a hurry, the most important thing is to take care of yourself."

He suddenly took her hand, stared into her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, take care of yourself and give birth to the prince safely. At that time, you can let go and go find the murderer. The most important thing right now is you!"

Xinyi stared at his serious expression, then looked at his hand, and said, "You, this is—"

Li Yan withdrew his hand as quickly as possible, stood up and pleaded guilty: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I, I,"

"You," Xinyi put her hands on her lap, looked up at him and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Li Yan!"

"Ah? Oh, no, you're welcome, me, me," Li Yan's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

"You helped me so much, I should actually thank you very much!" Xinyi stood up, slightly bent her upper body, and counted it as a salute, "This matter has reached this point, and I can no longer escape. No matter who hurt me I have to find out by myself. But, I don’t want to get you into trouble. As you said, the murderer is a big shot, I’m afraid you will—” She didn’t go on, but Li Yan said He laughed, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be fine."

The two chatted for a while, and Xinyi persuaded Li Yan not to worry about it for the time being, but then remembered the case of Xuan Ting that Gu Feiyan had mentioned, so she asked Li Yan, "Which prince do you know is most likely to harm you?" Brother Six? King Yu?"

Prince?Could it be that there are already clues to the murderer?
"Sister-in-law, if you let me say, King Yu will not harm Sixth Brother, nor will King Mu." Li Yan thought.

"Who could it be?" Xinyi asked, "Did the prince tell you about it before?"

Li Yan fell into deep thought, he raised his head to look at Xinyi from time to time, but lowered his head again.

"What do you remember?" she pursued, staring at him without moving her eyes.

After a long time, Li Yan smiled at her and said, "Sister-in-law, stop thinking about it, I understand."

ah?Xinyi was at a loss.

"Take care of yourself, I will investigate, don't worry, I will definitely give you news." He stood up, with a solemn expression, and she also stood up, staring at him suspiciously.

"Sister-in-law, you must take care of yourself, for Sixth Brother, and for you." He took a step closer to her, looked at her swollen belly, and said with a smile, "And this cute little child!"

His abnormal behavior made Xinyi very worried. She grabbed his arm, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Do you know who it is? Tell me!"

He just smiled faintly, and replied: "Sister-in-law, don't think about it, I have a measure."

After that, he turned around and left, Xinyi called him again, he turned his head and smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the sixth brother's spirit in the sky will bless me, and you and the child! Oh, if Ruoxi Come back, just say that I left beforehand!"

Before Xinyi could say a word, Li Yan left.

However, an ominous premonition flooded her heart.

It is very likely that Yan Siming was forced to death by the murderer. In this way, isn't Li Yan also being targeted?Moreover, just now, who was the murderer who killed the prince?Could it be that Li Yan already knew about it?

Oops, will he be in trouble?

"My lord, you must keep Li Yan safe!" She folded her hands and closed her eyes to pray.

A few days later, it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival. Xinyi was going to pay homage to Xuanting at Prince Yi's mansion, but Ming Xuanyu persuaded her because she was pregnant, so she sent Ming Ruoxi to pay homage to Xuanting's spirit.

Xinyi just put a lotus lantern by the lakeside of the imperial garden. Back then, it was Xuan Ting who accompanied her to pray for the deceased relatives.Now, that person is gone.

Looking at the little lights floating on the lake, she covered her face and wept.

Can the full moon in the sky convey the thoughts on both sides of life and death?

Xinyi was still very worried about Li Yan, so after the Ghost Festival, she asked Han Fei to visit Li Yan's house, and Han Fei came back and said, "You are very well, and please take care of yourself, my lady."In this way, her heart was relieved.

When Ming Xuanyu came over, she told him the matter, and he laughed at her for being too sensitive.

"That can't be my fault. His appearance at that moment was really, really worrying!" she said.

"However, having said that, why do you trust him so much? You didn't tell me about Yan Siming, but you told him?" He pretended to be annoyed.

"I didn't think too much about it at that time, it's just because, after the prince is gone, only Li Yan often goes to the palace, and the prince has the best relationship with Li Yan, so I trust him." She lowered her head. , scratching his chest uneasily with both hands.

The corner of his mouth moved slightly, he smiled silently, took her into his arms, and said: "I was just talking casually. During those days, if there was no Li Yan, I think you must have had a hard time! So, I I'll be grateful to him too."

She looked up at him with a happy smile.

He pinched her cheek, and said: "You guy, you often do some inexplicable things, Li Yan, Xuan Ting, the three of you seem to have some similarities—"

Speaking of Xuan Ting, her eyes became moist again, and tears rolled down.

He raised her face, gently kissed away her tears, and whispered: "Everything will be fine! It will be fine!"

She just nodded with tears, and replied: "I know, I know how lucky I am, with you, the prince, and the child, as well as Fang Xin, Li Yan, Sister Feiyan, and the princess, everyone They are all so kind to me, I am really happy!"

He smiled slightly and said, "Then why are you crying? I'm a little jealous of you! If so many people care about me, I'm sure I'll be so happy."

When he said this, she couldn't help laughing, and laughed with tears in her eyes.

God is fair. After losing her parents and family, she gained many friends and two people who truly loved her!
However, about ten days after the Ghost Festival, Xinyi heard the news that Li Yan had gone crazy!
How could he be crazy?How can a nice person go crazy?
She wanted to go to Jinghou Mansion to see what was going on with him, but was stopped by Ming Xuanyu.
