"This time it's not just a letter from the Bai family, the prince of Tianyu Kingdom also sent a sealed letter." Ye Xiudu said those words at that time, his face was very solemn.
The current crown prince of Tianyu Kingdom is the second prince back then.
Five years ago, a major event occurred in Tianyu Kingdom that shocked the whole country. Someone poisoned the food at the palace banquet with ruthless means and no scruples.
The then-Crown Princess was poisoned to death in this incident, and the old Emperor was also poisoned and almost died.
Fortunately, Dr. Qiongshan happened to be passing through Tianyu Kingdom at that time. He had an unusual relationship with Yu Qingluo. The royal family of Tianyu Kingdom was Yu Qingluo’s natal family, so he entered the palace to serve the emperor. Detoxified.
However, after this incident, the emperor's body had been ruined a lot, and now he could only rest in the palace, and the Tianyu Kingdom was handed over to the prince to supervise the country.
The incident of the royal family being poisoned came to light a month later, and the mastermind behind it was found out. Such a heinous crime involving nine tribes caused a great uproar in the Tianyu Kingdom back then.
Many people were murdered in the palace at that time. In addition to the crown prince, there were also several concubines with low status and some palace servants. The prince and queen were also slightly poisoned, but they were not seriously injured.
It can be seen that the murderer at that time was basically attacking indiscriminately. As long as he could deal with people in the royal family, it didn't matter even if there were a few more lives.
At that time, this incident was very involved and caused a sensation in the four countries. The palace servant in charge of catering was sent by the murderer. After being found out, he took poison and committed suicide without saying a word.
Originally, this matter had come to an end, but recently the prince discovered that things had changed. He suspected that the real mastermind behind the scenes had not been caught, and was probably still dormant beside him.
It's just that the incident five years ago was carefully planned, and the status of the palace people involved was even more unbelievable. Even the chamberlain who had been with the prince for more than ten years was involved, and the prince's nanny was also bribed. The princess would be poisoned in her morning diet, so that the toxins at the dinner would mix together to form a highly toxic substance.
Such a method is really incredible.
Otherwise, with the proper control of food in the palace, there would not have been such a big mistake, allowing the murderer to persecute so many people.
So now the prince has new suspicions, but he can't find anyone who he can trust and who is capable to investigate the matter.
That's why he found Yu Qingluo, who was far away in Feng Cang Country. On the contrary, he trusted this adopted sister whom he had not been with for a long time.
He needs someone with a fresh face, someone who has no interest in the suspected subjects in Tianyu Kingdom and can make people take it lightly to investigate this matter.
Twelve-year-old Ye Qingbei is the most suitable candidate for Ye Xiu alone.
"Hey..." Ye Qingbei felt his head hurt when he thought of what his father said.
His father actually trusted him to do this kind of dangerous work. How could he give up the burden
Ye Qingbei rubbed his eyebrows and lost interest in continuing to read. He turned around and lifted up the quilt and went to bed.
Early the next morning, he got up early as usual, and after cleaning up, he went to call Nian Nian.
After the group set off, the journey was uneventful.
The rest of the trip went smoothly, and Nian Nian's mood gradually improved.
Along the way, except for Mo Piao, a nymphomaniac who loves philandering, who occasionally made a mistake, and Niannian inexplicably found five more red bottles with varying degrees of toxic symptoms in his hand, basically nothing unexpected happened.
A month later, the carriage entered the territory of Tianyu Kingdom.
Then, Ye Qingbei noticed that Nian Nian's mood had finally improved, and his eyes began to shine and become gloomy again.
After riding in the carriage for a long time, he very wisely jumped on his handsome black horse again and walked all the way into the city gate.
Wen Ya and Mo Piao said... They also really want to ride a horse. Beibei, can't you sacrifice your life and give the horse to them
The two looked at each other bitterly, then looked at Nian Nian.
Nian Nian glanced at them and snorted, "Why, am I terrible again?"
"..." Nian Nian, you are so self-aware that you actually know how to add the word 'and'.
However, even though the two of them thought so, they still shook their heads calmly and said extremely seriously, "No, how could it be?"
Nian Nian nodded with satisfaction, leaned against the pillow, and sneered again.
When she arrived at the inn where she was staying at night, Nian Nian couldn't wait to enter the room and began... to study her sixth red bottle.
When Beibei brought dinner and entered her room, he felt even more sympathetic to his future brother-in-law.
Even before they met or even said a word, he seemed to have become the number one enemy in Nian Nian's mind, and... he was eager to be killed again and again and again.
So pathetic.
He put the dinner on the table, served it for her, and then asked Wen Yamo to come over and eat together.
Nian Nian put away the red bottle and washed her hands before sitting down at the table.
Ye Qingbei handed the bowl to her hand and whispered, "We will reach the capital of Tianyu Kingdom in about ten days. Nian Nian, have you decided what to say about breaking off the engagement? "
"Well, I've thought about it." Niannian nodded seriously, pushed his bowl in front of Ye Qingbei, and pointed to the plate of shrimps on the table with his eyes.
The corner of Beibei's mouth twitched, and he picked up one of them resignedly, peeled off the shell neatly, and then placed it in Nian Nian's bowl.
Wenya lowered her head silently, feeling so sad. She, a maid, had not done her duty at all.
She raised her eyes to look at Mo Piao secretly. That girl... looked like she hadn't seen her at all. She was eating with gusto. Her temperament was really similar to that of Aunt Yuexin.
Wen Ya shook her head and lowered her head to eat.
Beibei was stunned for a moment when he heard Nian Nian's answer, and asked uncertainly, "Have you really thought about it? What are you going to say?"
"If he agrees, everyone will be happy. If he doesn't agree... then we have to use extraordinary measures." Nian Nian turned her head and her eyes fell on the red medicine bottle.
Beibei, "..." He knew it and pretended he didn't ask.
He lowered his eyes and ate seriously.
However, after taking two bites, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed and he raised his eyes to look at the roof.
At the same time, Niannian also let go of her chopsticks, raised her chin slightly, and stared at the top of her head.
Wen Ya was a little slower than the two of them, but he also heard the sound of footsteps on the roof. It seemed that someone was running forward along the roof tiles. Just listening to the movement, the footsteps were a bit vague and he seemed to be unsteady. .
Two sounds of "Ka Ka" suddenly sounded. Nian Nian and Bei Bei's expressions changed at the same time. They stood up and took two steps back.
Wen Ya also saw clearly and quickly stood up and turned around until she stood still.
There was a crunching sound, and a big hole suddenly opened in the roof, and someone fell straight down from it.
