Rebirth: Splendid Wedding

Chapter 283: Encountering an Ambush Thought to Rescue (2)
At this moment, Na Jun walked in and reported: "My lord, I received an express letter from Chuanzhou, saying that the person who poisoned Yang Liwan has been found."

"Who?"

"He is from Jiangzhou. He was originally a death row prisoner who was about to be executed. He was released a few days ago and sneaked into our army. According to his description, the person who released him had a scar on his face and spoke Kyoto dialect. "

"Have scars on your face and speak Kyoto dialect?" Tuoba Lin pondered for a moment, but he didn't have any impression of this person in his mind, so he asked Yan Qiu, "Do you know who that person is?"

"I have a little impression..." Yan Qiu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "There seems to be such a person under Huang Ying's command, he seems to be called Liu Gui, and Huang Ying used to be Qin Chongyang's disciple. Someone saw him getting closer to Zhou Jinghao."

Tuoba Lin's eyes suddenly sank, and he thought for a moment, "If you guess correctly, Yang Liwan is dead, and Liu Gui must be next. Yan Qiu, you should go back to Beijing immediately, and you must find Liu Gui first, and don't let him It was silenced."

"Yes."

Yan Qiu ordered that he was about to leave, but Yin Ruijun shouted: "Wait."

Yan Qiu stopped in his tracks.

"Lin, Yan Qiu is gone. Tomorrow, only you and Na Jun will return to the capital. What if those assassins ambush and attack you?" Yin Ruijun worried.

Tuoba Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't there you?"

"Me?" Yin Ruijun blinked, with a blank expression on his face, "I didn't say I wanted to go back to Beijing with you?"

Tuoba Lin laughed and said, "Did I say I wanted you to come with me?"

"Then you mean..."

Tuoba Lin didn't answer him right away, but said to Yan Qiu and Na Jun, "Yan Qiu, you can leave at dawn. Na Jun, go down and rest, and get up early in the morning to take care of everything."

……

Due to the wind last night, today's temperature is much lower than yesterday, and the sky is also drizzling.Tuoba Lin left Huzhou City with Na Jun, Yan Ye and several personal guards, and galloped on the way back to Beijing.

Originally, he wanted to bring Bai Rifei back to Beijing, but because of Yang Liwan's incident, he changed his mind and went back by himself, and in two days, Yin Ruijun sent someone to escort him to Beijing.

Therefore, his group was not dragged down by the prisoners, and they ran faster on the road. It was estimated that it would only take two and a half days to return to Beijing, but they did not expect to encounter a rainy day, and it would last a whole day, and the rain was getting bigger and bigger, and the trip was delayed.It's night, and I haven't seen the town yet.

"Master, do you want to continue on your way or find a place to rest?" Na Jun reined in his horse, and the rain hit his face, blurring his vision.

Tuoba Lin stopped to observe the surrounding environment. This is a mountain depression with cliffs on both sides. It is difficult to find farmers in this area. He can only see if there is a place to rest for the night.

"Master, there seems to be a cave in front." Yan Ye pointed to the front.

"Okay, just rest here for the night."

Just as they were about to go, Tuoba Lin suddenly seemed to have a murderous aura hidden in the cliffs on both sides, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone be careful, there is an ambush!"

As soon as the words were finished, about a dozen killers in black and holding swords landed on the cliffs on both sides, and surrounded them.

Na Jun said to Tuoba Lin in a low voice: "Master, it seems that they came prepared."

Yan Ye couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "They are all in ambush here, of course they came prepared."

At this time, two of the black-clothed killers drew their swords and rushed forward...

……

When Concubine Yan returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, Qianwei and Cailing had already received the notification and rushed to greet her outside the gate of the mansion. Miao Qiutong and several concubines also came together.

But because Feng Yunxi was taken away by Yuan Mei, Concubine Yan was not in the mood to pay attention to them at all, got off the carriage and went straight to Zhenxia Pavilion.Before the chair was warmed up, she asked Qianwei to try to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to inquire about Feng Yunxi.

During the days when Concubine Yan was not around, Qian Wei followed Yan Concubine's orders and placed her people in places where celebrities and aristocrats came and went most frequently in the capital, actively searched for information, and gathered people's hearts. With the help of Xing Hao, In just ten days, good results have been achieved.

It just so happened that the singing girl she placed in Chunmanyuan had contacts with a certain high-ranking official of the Ministry of Punishment, and that night, she inquired about Feng Yunxi from these high-ranking officials.

It turned out that after Feng Yunxi was taken away by Yuan Mei, she was not taken to the Queen Mother immediately, but was locked in the dungeon of Dali Temple, awaiting trial.The geisha also found out from the senior officials that Feng Yunxi pretended to be a ghost to frighten Princess Minghui. Princess Minghui woke up and sued the Queen Mother.

At night, the westerly wind suddenly blew and the temperature dropped. Concubine Yan couldn't sleep all night thinking of Feng Yunxi who was suffering for her in the dungeon.As for the changes in the mansion after more than ten days away, I learned from Cailing that Miao Qiutong regarded herself as the concubine of the mansion and managed the affairs of the mansion. Poisoned to death.

When she got up the next day, she was sitting at the dining table, and Cai Ling told her what had happened.

That day, Miao Qiutong saw a little fox playing outside Zhenxia Pavilion. At that time, she didn't know that it was raised by Zhenxia Pavilion. She thought it had sneaked into the mansion to play. .

Just when Cailing came out and saw it, she told them to stop, saying that it was given to the princess by the prince.

That night, she saw a tabby cat died in front of the little fox's food bowl. After inspection, she found out that the food was poisonous.

"Princess, she must know that the little fox was given to you by the prince, so she was jealous and deliberately put rat poison in the little fox's meal. Fortunately, the little fox was sleepy that night, and the meal was stolen by a cat, otherwise... "

"Cai Ling, you need evidence for everything. There is no evidence to prove that Concubine Miao was the one who poisoned you. Don't jump to conclusions, you know?" Concubine Yan took two mouthfuls of pastries before putting down her chopsticks without appetite.

"Qianwei checked and saw her maid sneaking around in Zhenxia Pavilion that night, who else could it be?"

"Let's talk about this later." Yan Feiran rubbed the center of her brows wearily, not wanting to get entangled in this issue, so she asked, "Is Qianwei back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Qianwei's voice from outside the door. "I'm back." The voice came, and Qian Yiwei rushed in angrily.

"Princess, I finally found out." Qianwei said: "Just a few days ago, Mrs. Yuwen invited a Taoist priest to perform exercises for Princess Minghui. After that, the princess went to Taifu's mansion. Within two days, it was reported that Minghui The princess is awake."

Sure enough, it was related to Dong Ruojie, she just thought, how could Feng Yunxi be responsible for spreading rumors, there was no one else but Dong Ruojie.

"Princess, what shall we do next?"

Concubine Yan thought for a while and asked, "Where's the jade pendant I kept for you?"
