The prince is sick: it is too enchanting to marry the princess

Chapter 94 Xiangyue Temple

Ji Qingxue stole a fast horse from the other building and drove all the way to the South Pole. It took three full days to arrive at Xiangyue Temple.

The place mentioned in Nangong Yan's letter is Xiangyue Temple.

Ji Qingxue stood at the gate of the temple and found a monk. She asked, "Master, is there a person named Zhiyuan in this temple?"

As soon as the monk heard the word Zhiyuan, he immediately read: "Amitou Buddha, I don't know if there is something wrong with the female benefactor looking for the presiding officer?"

Ji Qingxue nodded: "That's right, Master, can you show me, I have something to ask him face to face."

The monk looked puzzled: "It's a coincidence that the benefactor came. The host had already retreated a month ago. The old man told him that he would not see anyone during the retreat. So, please come back, benefactor!"

Before Ji Qingxue finished speaking, the monk entered the temple and closed the temple gate by the way.

What's the situation?Seeing what the monk meant, Zhiyuan presided over the retreat, and he still doesn't know when he will be able to leave the retreat.

Ji Qingxue is in a hurry now, she can wait, but Nan Gongyan can't!

Ji Qingxue had an idea, since it was clear that he was not allowed to enter, so he had to think of another way!
While it was getting late, Ji Qingxue climbed over the wall and entered Xiangyue Temple overnight. She landed lightly in the courtyard, but now she was in trouble. Who knows where the abbot lives?

After much deliberation, Ji Qingxue decided to tie a random monk over to ask.

Just at this time, a monk hurried over to Ji Qingxue with a food box. Ji Qingxue tapped his acupoints with sharp eyes and quick hands.

"Now you can answer whatever I ask, if not, I will..." Ji Qingxue wiped her neck.

The monk nodded in a panic, Ji Qingxue then released his dumb acupoint: "Let me ask you, where is the host's room?"

The monk was trembling all over, and he replied: "Master... the room in charge is the last one in the west courtyard."

Ji Qingxue raised her hand and grabbed his neck: "You didn't lie to me?"

The monk nodded quickly: "I dare not lie to you, I... I just went to deliver meals to the host."

As soon as Ji Qingxue heard that the monk was going to deliver food to Zhi Yuan, Ji Qingxue's eyes lit up.

Ji Qingxue grabbed the monk's food box and knocked him out with a palm: "Thank you, little monk."

Ji Qingxue picked up the food box and walked towards the west courtyard.

She walked to the last room in the west courtyard. She leaned close to the door and listened for a while, but there seemed to be no movement inside!

She stretched out her hand to open the door, but as soon as she entered, she found that there was really no one inside.

Ji Qingxue cursed secretly, she was actually cheated by that little monk!
"Female benefactor, why do you want to see the old monk?"

Ji Qingxue put down the food box, and said to Zhi Yuan: "Master, Qingxue didn't intend to disturb your retreat, but I was entrusted by someone, so I need to ask the host to clarify my doubts."

Zhi Yuan stroked his gray beard and said with a smile, "Who entrusted you?"

"Prince Rui, Nangongyan."

Hearing Nangongyan, Zhiyuan Gujing's expressionless expression was cracked: "Prince Rui? Female benefactor, please sit down!"

"Host, don't call me the benefactor, the benefactor, just call me Qingxue."

Zhi Yuan laughed and said, "I don't dare to call the concubine by her name so directly."

It turned out he knew.

Ji Qingxue took out the letter from her arms and handed it to Zhi Yuan: "Master, this is what he wants me to ask you."

Zhi Yuan accepted the letter and opened it, but his expression became very serious.

Ji Qingxue asked cautiously, "Host? But what's so difficult?"

Holding the letter in his hand, Zhi Yuan said to Ji Qingxue: "This matter is of great importance. Prince Rui must be able to come here because he trusts Wang Hao very much. This old monk must know everything and say everything. This is also the old monk's promise to Prince Rui."

Zhi Yuan handed the letter to Ji Qingxue: "Do you know what he wants to ask?"

Ji Qingxue shook her head, she only read the first page of the letter and knew who Nan Gongyan wanted to find, but she didn't have time to read the second page.

Ji Qingxue took the letter and read it, she was dumbfounded.

Back then, Nangongyan's mother and concubine Chu Yushang passed away not long after giving birth to him, and Nangongyan was born with cold poison.

And one year after Chu Yushang left, Ji Qingxue's mother was buried in a sea of ​​flames.

Nan Gongyan suspected that the death of his mother and concubine was not that simple. Zhi Yuan was an old man in the palace back then, and he knew everything that happened in the palace.

"I have been waiting for so many years, and finally Prince Rui asked me this question."

"Is there really something hidden about the death of Concubine Nangong Yan's mother?"

Zhi Yuan nodded, and his thoughts were pulled back to more than 20 years ago.

At that time, Chu Yushang, who was the imperial concubine, was pregnant, and the emperor was very happy, but since she became pregnant, the imperial concubine's body has been getting worse day by day, losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The emperor ordered all the imperial physicians in the palace to treat the imperial concubine, but none of them worked. By the time the imperial concubine gave birth, she was already as thin as a stick.

"I know, the imperial concubine has been poisoned."

The cold poison was brought out by Nangong Yanda from birth, so there is only one possibility and that is that the mother itself was poisoned.

Zhiyuan looked at Ji Qingxue with a smile, as expected of the woman he chose, she was really smart.

"That's right, someone secretly poisoned the imperial concubine."

Ji Qingxue slapped the table: "That's not right, if someone really poisoned, how could there be so many imperial doctors in the palace, no one can find out the reason?"

Zhi Yuan's expression was calm: "This palace always seems to be peaceful, but how many treacherous and turbulent things are here, ordinary people don't know. If you want to survive in the palace, you have to learn not to listen, not to see, or to believe."

Ji Qingxue seemed to understand what it meant. It wasn't that the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't find out the cause, but that someone had sealed their mouths.

"Could it be..." Ji Qingxue looked at Zhiyuan incredulously, could it be the person she thought of?

"Princess, you seem to have guessed the mastermind behind the whole thing?"

Ji Qingxue's face was very ugly, she would rather guess wrong.

"Actually, as early as when Prince Rui was 15 years old, he came to ask the old monk the same question, but I asked him at that time, are you really ready to accept the truth, it is far more than anything you have experienced so far. Things are going to be cruel."

"So, it's really him?" Ji Qingxue's face was more serious than ever.

Zhi Yuan let out a long sigh, but nodded his head.

Let me ask, in the deep palace, who can silently control the entire imperial hospital, and make the imperial concubine die so unclearly.

Except for him who has the supreme right, no one has the ability to deceive the sky like this.

"All the people who went to deliver the concubine all those years ago disappeared inexplicably not long after Prince Rui was born."

No, there is too much information about this matter, and she needs to spend time digesting it.

According to this, Nan Gongyan's emperor's father poisoned his mother to death?
Ji Qingxue complained silently in her heart, did her own father and son become sworn enemies?What kind of bad way to open it?
"Then how did the host leave the palace?"

The emperor has always been suspicious by nature. If he really did this thing, then he would definitely do it without leaving any traces. How could he leave it behind? Zhiyuan, a fish that slipped through the net, will become a hidden danger for him in the future.

"I was one of his hidden guards back then, and I was ordered to perform a special mission for him. But when we arrived at the place where the mission was performed, we realized that something was wrong. Someone had already ambushed there in advance. To carry out that mission The brothers in this mission are all dead, but I escaped by chance, I know that this mission is actually to kill us, I pieced together a corpse from among the many corpses to replace me, and escaped like this.”

"No, I still can't figure it out. The emperor loves Nan Gongyan a lot, so how could he harm his mother and concubine?"

"Princess, have you ever heard of the Wuling clan?"

Ji Qingxue nodded, she is still Wu Xian of the Wuling Clan, how could she not have heard of it.

"Wu Ling clan has always had the ability to control the general situation of the world. Does the princess know why?"

Not to mention, Ji Qingxue really doesn't know.

"There are two reasons. One is that when the head of the Wuling Clan changes, they will choose Wu Xian and the Holy Maiden. Whether it is martial arts or strategy, both of them are Qilin talents, and they both have the ability to guide the country. People from all over the world are scrambling to snatch them, whoever gets Wuxian and the Holy Maiden will get the support of the entire Wuling clan."

This made Ji Qingxue very ashamed, she didn't think that Wu Xian had any ability to give advice.

"What about the second reason?"

"As for the second reason, it is because of a legend. The Wuling tribe is equivalent to a kingdom on the ground. It knows the situation of all countries well, and its intelligence agency is stronger than any other country. According to legend, it has a treasure house. A lot of gold, silver and jewels are enough to cover three big swallows."

Ji Qingxue's eyes lit up when he heard that, are the Wu Ling clan so rich?But having said that, what does this have to do with Concubine Nangongyan?
"And Prince Rui's mother and concubine are the saintesses of the Wuling Clan back then."

Hearing this, Ji Qingxue felt that the truth of what happened back then may be far more than she thought.
