Eunuch Fan's caliber does not match that of "Xue'er" at all, which shows that "Xue'er" is lying!
Rong Changan saw hesitation and anger in Yan Li's eyes.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"
Yan Li still squeezed out a faint smile from the corner of his mouth: "I'm thinking about how to bury your adoptive father. Why don't you tell me where your adoptive mother is, and I will send someone to pick her up. Your adoptive father will be buried. Why don't you let your stepmother know?"
Rong Changan pinched his fingers: "My stepmother lives so far away, and she is too old, how can she make the trek. This is also a sudden, cheap solution, and there is no way around it."
Yan Li: "How about this, how about I escort your adoptive father home with you tomorrow, and come back after a proper burial? This also saves your adoptive mother from traveling thousands of miles."
If he refuses, Yan Li will definitely be even more suspicious, why not agree to him first, and discuss the solution after going back at night.
"The emperor has shown such great kindness to his concubines and their relatives, and the concubines will never be able to repay them. Just do as the emperor said, but tomorrow is too hasty, how about the day after tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is indeed too hasty, Yan Li said: "I will follow you and send my adoptive father home the day after tomorrow!"
Seeing that Rong Changan was weak and pale, Yan Li couldn't bear it: "No one wants to encounter this kind of thing, my concubine's condolences! It's windy and cold here, why don't I send you back to the palace first. Your adoptive father's affairs are urgent. Yes! As for whether Brother Zhang Jiu and Aunt Wang were killed by your adoptive father, I think there will be a day when the truth will be revealed."
Rong Changan didn't want to stand here any longer. Seeing Eunuch Fan's death, she felt so uncomfortable that she almost suffocated. With Yan Li's support, he went down the tower and returned to the deep palace.
Rong Changan was still living in the same yard as Xiaoxiao, and it was very late at night, but she still couldn't sleep and walked around in the yard.
what can we do about it? In order to send back the funeral for Eunuch Fan, Yan Liming's real intention was to find out the identity of "Xue'er". What if he saw Lin Hai and the old woman? Lin Hai could respond, but what about the old lady? When she was in a panic, she would definitely reveal everything.
No, you have to send someone to inform them first, asking Lin Hai to hide and talk to the old woman, so that the old woman can tell Yan Li according to the story she made up.
But it is inconvenient for her to leave the capital now, and it will take two days at the fastest to go back and forth to the old woman's place. She is not in the palace for two days, how can Yan Li not doubt it
If she can't go, who will
There was one more thing that interfered with her thoughts, who was that corpse lying next to Eunuch Fan
Yan Li's words are not credible, because she clearly saw Yan Li's eyes dodge a little on the tower today. Could that corpse be the murderer? Yan Li dumped his corpse outside the city just to lure out the main messenger behind the murderer.
The more Rong Changan thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. If the corpse was a murderer, the messenger behind the scenes would definitely send someone to seize the corpse, because the messenger behind the scenes was afraid of being found out.
Thinking of this, Rong Changan didn't feel sleepy anymore.
"Concubine Xue Gui, are you still asleep?" Xiao Xiao shouted from the room.
Rong Changan: "I have something to do when I go out, you should sleep first!"
"What's the matter, you have to go out at night?"
Rong Chang'an: "Just now, someone came from the emperor's side!"
"It turns out that the emperor ordered you to serve in the past! Then I'll go to bed first."
Xiaoxiao turned off the light, and after a while, I heard Xiaoxiao's even breathing. Hearing that she was fast asleep, Rong Changan quietly entered the room, changed into dark clothes, and tore off a strip of cloth to cover her face. Walking out of the courtyard, seeing no one around, jumped up the high wall, found a gap, left the palace, and headed straight for Nanxun Gate.
Because there were two corpses placed outside the city, Nanxun Gate was brightly lit, but there were only five or six soldiers guarding it. Rong Changan was hiding behind a low wall, looking around to see if there was anyone suspicious, when he heard a voice whispering:
"There are very few guards tonight, it is a good time for us to seize the corpse."
A woman's voice said deeply: "Yan Li is deliberately setting a trap for you, don't take the risk!"
The man who spoke in front snorted: "It's an adventure, I want to snatch it. If someone recognizes Li Ming's identity, they will find me. I can't stay in the capital anymore. The plan we designed , isn't it a mess!"
The two people who spoke were in a hotel, only opened a gap in the window slightly, and looked outside. Through this gap, Rong Changan could see two pairs of evil eyes.
One of the pairs belonged to Ziyan, Ziyan's voice turned into ashes, even Rong Chang'an recognized it.
Hearing Ziyan's words, he was a little anxious: "What if you go out to grab the corpse and get caught?"
The man pondered for a while, then became impatient: "This is not okay, and that is not okay! Do you just wait for Yan Li to find out about the courtyard where I live?"
Zi Yan coldly snorted contemptuously: "Compared to your father, you are less mature. Your biggest shortcoming is that you can't bear your temper. Like assassinating Concubine Xue last night, you didn't hurt her? Don't think about it, I I know why you didn't succeed. You must have done it without seeing the opportunity!"
Rong Changan was very surprised: Zi Yan was also involved in the assassination last night!
Hearing a slap, Rong Changan trembled slightly, the man clapped his hands, and said angrily: "If that Xue'er hadn't stood up suddenly, I thought she had discovered her, so I would assassinate him, otherwise I would definitely be able to Take the lives of her and Yan Li!"
Zi Yan poured cold water on it: "The task I entrusted to you has not been completed once, what do you want me to say about you!"
The man snorted: "Then you don't want to cooperate with me. Now, we will part ways. However, I can remind you that without my help, you can't do anything!"
Zi Yan compromised, and said with a smile: "I was joking with you, why do you take it seriously! By the way, I have an idea!"
The man was still angry: "What's your idea?"
Zi Yan: "I want to ask you. What is your purpose of snatching the corpse?"
The man was even more angry: "You don't need to ask, just to prevent Yan Li from finding out about me."
"Is it necessary to snatch the corpse?"
After a while, the man asked, "What's your idea?"
Zi Yan gave a gloomy smile: "We only need to burn Li Ming's body until it looks so ugly, who will recognize it?"
There was another slap, and this time it was the man clapping his hands together happily: "It really is a good idea, Zi Yan, the strategies in your mind are really endless and inexhaustible!"
Zi Yan smiled: "If it wasn't like this, you wouldn't often call me a female Zhuge!"
Rong Changan scolded in his heart: I really don't know how to be ashamed, female Zhuge? Female Daji is almost the same!
At this time, Rong Changan also recognized the voice of that man, it was the man who forced her to jump off the cliff.
Who is he? During these days, there was such a big storm in the palace, which had a lot to do with the man behind Ziyan. To deal with Ziyan, he must get rid of this man first.
Moreover, their plan was to launch a mutiny to overthrow Yan Li. By getting rid of this man, they could save the country from a disaster.
Rong Changan was thinking about it, when suddenly, with a creak, the door of the hotel opened, and three masked men in black came out, all holding a big knife in their hands, and one of them was holding a package in his hand, but he didn't know What's in the package.
Rong Chang'an thought: Just now Zi Yan said that the corpse should be burned to make it look like a human. Could it be that there are some incendiary objects in the package that can ignite the corpse
