Yesterday, Xie Yuan personally ordered to throw the third princess's corpse to the mass grave, but when he heard that General Zuo had gone, his expression changed immediately. Immediately asked Meng Fei: "How did you deal with it, will you be recognized?"
Meng Fei lowered his head and replied, "Your Highness instructed him to scratch his face and remove everything that could indicate his identity. He only wrapped it in rags and threw it at the mass grave." Then he continued: "The princess was covered in wounds when she died, and the blood was very heavy. Now that the night has passed, it may have been eaten by wild beasts, so you can't find it or recognize it."
He has always acted prudently, and Xie Yuan has always trusted him. But now Xie Yuan feels that he is in the middle of someone else's calculations, and he never broke out of the game at all, maybe there is an eye staring at them!
Xie Yuan was a little uneasy, and even faintly regretted: "If I knew earlier, I would have burned her clean to avoid another incident."
Hearing this, Meng Fei lowered his head, and there were some waves in his eyes - he was loyal to Xie Yuan, but that didn't mean he didn't have his own view of right and wrong. Being in the game, fighting for power and profit, and paying any price for it is justified. The third princess entered the game, and he didn't say anything when it ended like yesterday. But if a person is dead, it's hard to keep the whole body in the mass grave, and if it is burned, it will almost be smashed to ashes!
Meng Fei's mood was slightly ups and downs here, but Xie Yuan was still uneasy after thinking about it over there, and immediately ordered: "Meng Fei, take someone to watch it immediately. If General Zuo finds nothing or finds the wrong thing, that's all. Really found the body..."
Meng Fei raised his head and glanced into Xie Yuan's fierce eyes.
Xie Yuan went on to say: "If I find it, I will find a way to destroy the body so that General Zuo can't enter the palace."
Meng Fei agreed and hurried away, but when he arrived at the mass grave, General Zuo seemed to have found his target. He only saw that General Zuo ordered a corpse to be put into the carriage. As for what the corpse looked like, Meng Fei was too late to see it.
As Xie Yuan's personal bodyguard, of course Meng Fei couldn't come forward directly in this situation, so he watched from the dark and watched General Zuo lead people away. Then he ordered people to do tricks on the way back to the city, while he rushed to the mass grave to check the situation.
The death of the third princess is of great importance, so the final disposal was done by Meng Fei himself. He placed the smeared corpse in a dirt pit in the mass grave, and even covered the corpse with a layer of soil. . But normally, there is no shortage of wild animals outside the city, especially wild wolves. If the bodies of the mass graves are buried shallowly, they will be dug up and eaten.
Meng Fei had seen from a distance that the body of General Zuo that was put into the carriage was very complete, and he felt that he must have been looking for the wrong one. When he found the pit, he would probably only see the remnants of the bones. However, when he actually looked for it, he found that the pit was empty and the whole body was gone!
Could it be that the three princesses were so lucky that they didn't encounter any beasts in the mass grave, but were recognized by General Zuo? !
Meng Fei's heart skipped a beat, especially in disbelief. But he didn't have time to think about it any more, he turned his head and rode his horse to chase after him on the way back to the city, covering his face with a black cloth on the way, but there was nothing he could do in a hurry, so he could only hit hard and destroy the corpse!
General Zuo met an ambush on the outskirts of the city. The two sides competed for each other. In the end, the carriage containing the corpse was ignited by a rocket and burned.
The snow-white pigeon flapped its wings and landed on the windowsill, making a "coo" sound.
A plain white hand reached out, grabbed the pigeon parked on the windowsill, and closed the window that was blowing cold air into the house. The cold wind stopped suddenly, and the house became a little warmer in an instant.
Lu Qipei put on a big cloak, grabbed the carrier pigeon and returned to the desk, lightly loosening the letterbox on the pigeon's leg with his fingers.
The pigeon was placed on the table by her, and she didn't panic. She jumped up and down a few steps, as if trying to attract Lu Qipei's attention. Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and sprinkled some bird food that he had prepared on the table.
Seeing this, the carrier pigeon immediately settled down, buried his head and began to enjoy the reward.
After Lu Qipei spilled the bird food, he didn't care about the pigeons anymore. He flipped his fingers and untied the small letterbox and took out the note inside. The note is also very small, with hundreds of characters written in teeny small capital letters, but it has already explained the message that needs to be conveyed.
After reading the note with a few glances, Lu Qipei's clear eyes flashed a dark light, and soon returned to his normal appearance.
After reading the letter, there was no need to stay. It happened that there was a charcoal basin burning next to it, so Lu Qipei was going to throw it in and burn it directly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of her room was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind came with the fine snow, and at the same time, a small figure broke in.
"Uncle and uncle, let's go out to play." Lu Sheng broke into the house with the rabbit in his arms, ran all the way and accurately threw himself into Lu Qipei's arms.
Lu Qipei reluctantly caught the child, but his eyes looked out the door - Lu Sheng has always been disciplined, even though he has become more lively in the past few months, it has never happened before without knocking on the door. Therefore, there is no doubt that there is an initiator behind the small group.
Sure enough, when Lu Qipei looked up, he saw Qi Yang standing outside the door smiling at her. He smiled without any guilty conscience at all, and didn't have any self-consciousness to bring bad children: "A Pei, why are you hiding in the room, A Sheng is waiting for you to play with her."
The voice fell, and before Lu Qipei could answer, Lu Sheng suddenly said excitedly, "Bird, bird, little bird!"
The child's exclamation immediately caught the eyes of the two of them, and Qi Yang naturally saw the pigeons jumping on the table at a glance. She was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows slightly: "In such a cold day, is there anyone else to spread news to you?"
It's not that the news will not be spread when it's cold, but it's a small thing like a pigeon that suffers from flying in severe cold weather. Therefore, once the winter begins, unless it is absolutely necessary, the message transmission will easily not use carrier pigeons, but change other channels. The only exception is probably the urgent letter.
Lu Qipei nodded, and did not hide it from her: "From the north, the delivery is too slow."
As soon as Qi Yang heard it, he knew that it was the news from Rongguo, and his eyes suddenly lit up - the emperor had just recovered from his illness recently, and most of the government still relied on the East Palace. She only hoped that it was the prince who had done it before, so that she would not delay anything because of the emperor's previous illness when dealing with Xie Yuan.
When Lu Qipei saw her eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and after a little hesitation, he handed over the note that he had not had time to burn.
Qi Yang took it and sighed, couldn't help sighing: "These three princesses are really pitiful people, marrying Xie Yuan is really bad for eight lifetimes, it's not enough to lose her son, and now she's even losing her own life. go in."
Lu Qipei listened and looked at Qi Yang, thinking that she might be hurt by something. After all, in her previous life, she was also considered to be murdered by Xie Yuan's plan - she was obviously a royal princess of noble birth, and she was born to enjoy everything, but she was killed by a non-human being who she married. Qi Yang in the past life and Ayanna in this life are so similar. I just don't know what happened to the third princess of Rongguo in the past life
Feeling a little touched, Lu Qipei was about to say something when he felt the dumpling in his arms struggling slightly. She looked down, but saw that Lu Sheng was looking at the pigeon with bright eyes, wanting to reach out and touch it.
Children are always a weapon to break the low atmosphere, Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and asked, "A Sheng likes pigeons?"
Lu Sheng was a little at a loss when she heard the words. She didn't know what a pigeon was, but she still pointed at the carrier pigeon and said, "Bird."
Lu Qipei explained to her, "This kind of bird is called a pigeon." After explaining, he asked her, "Do you want to touch A Sheng?"
Lu Sheng's eyes lit up when she heard the words, her dark eyes were full of novelty and excitement, she nodded heavily: "A Sheng wants to touch!"
Lu Qipei stretched out his hand and grabbed the obediently standing carrier pigeon, and while letting Lu Sheng touch the pigeon's smooth little head, he couldn't help teasing the child: "A Sheng is really fun, I used to like rabbits, but now I like pigeons again. ."
The little dumpling didn't understand what Huaxin was, but after hearing Lu Qipei mention the rabbit, she retracted her hand and touched the rabbit's head again.
Lu Qipei was amused by her again, and Qi Yang, who was beside him, laughed when he saw it. The scene in front of her made her relax, and she didn't want to talk about the heavy topic before, but they both read the note, and Qi Yang burned it.
The note was delayed for a moment, but it was finally thrown into the brazier, and the flames that rushed up instantly swallowed it.
At this moment, Qi Yang Dianguang Flint thought of something, she looked down into the brazier subconsciously, and all she saw was the ashes left after the note was swallowed by the flame. On the black and gray, the faint handwriting is dotted, and the original appearance can no longer be seen.
Lu Qipei noticed Qi Yang's anomaly, hugged Lu Sheng and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yang looked at the brazier and was silent for a moment, then suddenly hugged Lu Sheng from Lu Qipei's arms, and said to the child, "A Sheng goes to find Zhi Ting to play first, I have something to say to your uncle."
The little dumpling was still well-behaved, nodding obediently when he heard that, he was put down by Qi Yang and ran away by himself.
As soon as the door opened and closed, there were only two people left in the room, but the atmosphere seemed to become serious in an instant.
Lu Qipei blinked, then glanced at the brazier where even the ashes of the paper were burned, and he probably guessed what Qi Yang wanted to ask. But he opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness has sent A Sheng away, what business do you want to tell me?"
Qi Yang and her didn't go around the corner, and asked straight to the point: "Why is the news on the note so detailed? Before Xie Yuan and Emperor Rong were separated, it was you and I who speculated. This time, the third princess was murdered by Xie Yuan in the mansion. How will the spies know that it should be kept more secret?"
Lu Qipei raised his eyes without answering, and looked at Qi Yang.
Qi Yang had already speculated in his heart, but Lu Qipei's silent response undoubtedly confirmed her guess: "You planned this."
There was no need to respond when the words came out, and Qi Yang also understood in his heart - Emperor Rong was caught in a divisive scheme, and now is a good time to target Xie Yuan. And Xie Yuan would never sit still. If it was really the emperor's layout before, his disease would definitely be ruined. And once Xie Yuan has dealt with Rongguo's troubles, he is afraid to turn his head and fight back even harder!
No one can afford to delay this opportunity. Lu Qipei's action at this time is definitely decisive, but the third princess indirectly caused her tragic death, which made Qi Yang feel a little nervous - just as Lu Qipei thought, Qi Yang really hurt Ayanna in some ways.
Lu Qipei looked at her, but said seriously: "I will also use methods to kill people, and I will not hesitate to calculate people's hearts. I am not the glamorous appearance in Your Highness's heart. Would Your Highness dislike it?"
