Li Muyun lived in a secluded place, and he was even more upright than Shen Yi back then. After Qin Wan returned to Beijing, he asked people to check a lot of Li Muyun's affairs, but they didn't find anything. Qin Wan was naturally a little surprised when he bumped into Li Muyun today.
Glancing over the shop Li Muyun entered just now, Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, Yunhelou.
Yunhe Tower is closer to the imperial city than Zuixian Tower, but it does not have the reputation of Zuixian Tower at all. There are not many dignitaries who come here to eat, and at this time, the restaurant looks deserted, Qin Wan Frowning slightly, seeing that Li Muyun's carriage was already moving, he didn't know whether to step forward or follow.
While hesitating, Qin Wan saw a young man walking out of Yunhe Tower.
This person looks ordinary, and his clothes are also ordinary, but seeing this person's face, Qin Wan feels familiar for some reason.
However, she couldn't remember where she had seen this person for a while.
Just full of doubts, Qin Wan saw Li Muyun's carriage heading towards the south of the city again, Qin Wan's heart moved, and he quickly told Bai Ying, "Bai Ying, follow the green curtained carriage in front..."
Baiying whipped the whip, and the carriage followed immediately. Qin Wan opened the curtains to look, but saw the carriage heading south of the city.
Li Muyun's house is in the west and south of the city, but now he is heading straight to the south of the city. Could it be that he is going to the Lin'an government office
Qin Wan only thought that Li Muyun was there for business, but he didn't think so. When the carriage went south, it didn't go to the road of Lin'an government office at all. Qin Wan looked suspicious all the way.
Is Li Muyun going to leave the city? !
Qin Wan was full of doubts, and only dispelled it when Li Muyun's carriage turned into a small alley. Seeing that the alley could only accommodate one carriage, Qin Wan hurriedly asked Bai Ying to stop.
"Don't go in, it's easy to be spotted, this alley doesn't seem to be a straight line, get out of the carriage and take a look to see which house Li Muyun has entered..."
Bai Ying took the order and immediately headed towards the alley. Qin Wan sat in the carriage and came out after waiting for half a stick of incense, "Miss, Master Li entered the third house in the alley, and the carriage stopped at the door. Yes, the servant took a look and saw 'Guo Zhai' written on it, the gate was ordinary, it seemed to be a small courtyard with two entrances."
Most of the families of this generation are just small rich families, and there are no high-ranking officials. What is Li Muyun doing here
Qin Wan said conveniently, "Write down this place and order Han Dong to check it later."
Bai Ying nodded, and Qin Wan went back to Hou Mansion first.
On the second day, Qin Wan went to Xunniang's place early in the morning. Seeing that Fan Xin's wound had not festered anymore, he was greatly relieved and changed Fan Xin's medicine himself. Fan Xin couldn't help asking about the situation in Beijing.
"The Shuoxi army has been in the hands of the prince for many years. Now that the prince has an accident, the Shuoxi army is like fat to be divided. There is no one in the capital who does not want to get his hands on it."
Qin Wan sighed from the bottom of her heart, "In the current situation, it is not easy for His Highness to do anything publicly, but don't worry, His Highness has his own arrangements in mind."
Fan Xin naturally understood when he heard the words, but when he looked at Qin Wan, his eyes were full of forbearance, but he hesitated to speak.
He is a member of the Shuoxi army, and he has personally experienced Prince Rui's accident. For Fan Xin at this moment, there is boundless anger in his heart. Thinking that the Shuoxi army has no commander, they will be dictated by others and disrupted. For the reorganization, there will be a new head coach, and those generals who were devoted to Prince Rui before, one can imagine what will happen to them.
Thinking of this, Fan Xin wished he could go to the Northwest now.
Qin Wan knew the resentment in his heart, "You have to trust His Royal Highness."
Thinking of Yan Chi, the hostility in Fan Xin's eyes disappeared a bit. Qin Wan stayed here for a while and then left. He went all the way west to visit Princess Taichang. She hadn't visited the Anyang Marquis Mansion in the past few days. .
Qin Wan was actually worried about Yan Chi in his heart, but this was not the time for her to go to Prince Rui's Mansion, so she had to do something to resolve her worries. After staying in Anyang Marquis Mansion for a while, Qin Wan followed Yue Ning went to Prince Yi's Mansion. There was no need for needles today, so Qin Wan and Sun Muqing changed Yanze's prescription to a new one. After finishing all this, it was already dusk when he returned to Hou's Mansion. On the second day, Qin Wan went to the palace again to see a doctor for the Empress Dowager. When she arrived in the palace, the Empress Dowager's complexion was worse than the day before. When she saw Qin Wan, the Empress Dowager didn't say much. Qin Wan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly prescribed a new prescription .
After watching the queen mother drink the medicine and rest, Qin Wan sat with Yan Sui for a while.
The two sat next to the beauty on the porch, and the others were far away. Recently, Qin Guan often brought Yan Sui to talk here. Seeing that His Royal Highness Ninth Prince talked a lot, they naturally didn't dare to disturb him.
Qin Wan can see the surrounding situation at a glance, which naturally eliminates the possibility of others eavesdropping. What's more, when Yan Sui talked to her, his voice was extremely low. Yan Sui said, "The concubine mother is afraid of everyone..."
"Didn't the emperor dote on Concubine Jin? Is she also afraid of the emperor?"
Yan Sui nodded, "There is also the queen, and the imperial concubine..."
Yan Suisheng's face is like a dumpling, but his demeanor is old-fashioned, Qin Wan said, "But did they trigger the empress at that time?"
Yan Sui shook his head, "I don't know."
He doesn't know, it doesn't mean there isn't.
Qin Wan was not sure where Concubine Jin's fear came from, but she found it very strange. Concubine Jin was the only concubine after the imperial concubine who was loved by the emperor like jewels and treasures. She suddenly became afraid for no reason. , but Yan Sui is too young, no matter whether it is the crown prince or the king Cheng, they don't take him seriously, so there is no one who wants to kill His Highness the Ninth Prince because of seizing the heir, so that the concubine Jin is afraid...
But if not for this reason, then why? !
Qin Wan said again, "Your Highness, the words you often write were taught by Concubine Jin?"
Yan Sui shook his head, Qin Wan frowned, Yan Sui's small brows were also tightly knit together, he looked left and right, his eyes were full of struggle, as if he was thinking, should he tell Qin Wan.
Qin Wan didn't urge her, just looked at Yan Sui quietly. After an unknown amount of time, Yan Sui straightened up, pulled Qin Wan's sleeve, and motioned for Qin Wan to get down a bit, Qin Wan bent sideways, Yan Sui Then he said something to Qin Wan.
"I... When I saw Concubine Mu that day... I saw Concubine Mu's body and wrote a few scarlet letters..."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Wan's complexion suddenly changed! At that time, Yan Sui was the first to run to Concubine Jin who was lying in a pool of blood. At that time, King Jin was also beside Concubine Jin. Yan Sui saw those words, but none of the people who came later mentioned it. , even King Jin's confession, and never mentioned it, Yan Sui said it was scarlet letter, so it was scarlet letter!
Qin Wan felt sorry for the young Yan Sui, who saw that scene, and asked again, "How many words did your Highness see?!"
Yan Sui thought for a moment, "Two, or three... Concubine Mu has shed a lot of blood, and the first word is only half."
Qin Wan held his breath, "Then, can Your Highness recognize these words?"
"Only recognize the last word."
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Isn't it, a word 'Wang'?"
Yan Sui's eyes lit up, and then he nodded.
Qin Wan was a little anxious, "Do you remember the general appearance of the first two words?"
Yan Sui pursed her lips, "I can't read the first word clearly, and I don't recognize the second word, remember... I can't remember it clearly, I just remember that there is one stroke like this, and two points..."
Yan Sui drew two strokes in the air, Qin Wan felt a little inexplicable, adding two dots with one stroke, there were too many words like this.
"If you see that word again, will your Highness still recognize it?"
Yan Sui pursed his lips, looking a little nervous, but with a hesitant look on his face, Qin Wan didn't dare to force Yan Sui too tight, and quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it doesn't matter, when you see it and feel like it, remember to tell me That's it."
Yan Sui breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
Although Yan Sui is now learning to read characters with his master, he has less and less time to practice calligraphy recently. Now that the Queen Mother is ill, no one cares about him. Maybe when Yan Sui learns that character, he will Thinking about it, how could she be sure now, and the only one in the palace that day was King Jin, not to mention King Yong or King Cheng, but why did Concubine Jin write three words
Qin Wan asked again, "Does Your Highness recognize King Jin?"
Yan Sui nodded, and Qin Wan said, "When His Highness saw King Jin, what was he doing?"
Yan Sui's eyes and pupils shrank, as if he was a little scared, but he still said, "He was holding a dagger and standing next to Concubine Mother, Concubine Mother fell to the ground, bleeding all over the ground, Concubine Mother closed her eyes..."
After Yan Sui said this, his little face turned pale, and Qin Wan hurriedly shook his little hand, "Does your Highness think there is anything strange about King Jin? Did you see those words when the Empress Empress and the others came later?"
Yan Sui shook his head, "I don't know if it's strange or not. When the empress arrives, the blood of the mother and concubine has already covered the words..."
"Have you ever told anyone about this?!"
The corners of Yan Sui's lips were tightly pursed, and he said for a moment, "I told my former wet nurse, and the wet nurse told me not to tell me, so I will stop talking."
Qin Wan's heart trembled slightly, and he wanted to continue asking, but seeing the horror in Yan Sui's eyes, he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly got up and dragged him around the yard, Yan Sui was very happy, and asked Qin Wan had no choice but to make up a few words to coax Yan Sui about the canary, and after a while, Qin Wan went to look for Madam Su.
"Mommy, there is something I want to ask."
Madam Su now trusts and respects Qin Wan, and hurriedly said, "Please tell me the Princess."
Qin Wan then whispered, "Before you, who served His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Su Momo's complexion changed slightly, "What is the princess asking this for?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "Your Highness mentioned it just now, and asked where the wet nurse went..."
Mother Su was not puzzled when she heard the words, she just said, "The Princess don't ask Concubine Jin to save people from now on, those people have all been dealt with, especially this wet nurse, who was dealt with by Eunuch Yuan himself."
Yuan Qing dealt with it personally? !
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded, "I understand, don't worry."
Mother Su was blessed and went to take care of Yan Sui herself, but Qin Wan didn't want to stay any longer, so she said her farewell before leaving the palace with a heavy heart. On the carriage back home, Yan Sui's words were like a hard iron across Qin Wan's heart.
The matter is too simple, if King Jin kills Concubine Jin, how can he watch Concubine Jin write a few words in blood? !
He should have destroyed the words written in blood immediately, and when Yan Sui saw those words, King Jin must have seen them too, but King Jin didn't mention a single word, and there was no record in his father's manuscript...
Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly felt a shock in his heart. In his father's manuscript, it was written that he met the King of Jin at the end, but the last side made his father decide to flee the capital with his family. What did you say? Does it have something to do with the bloody words of Concubine Jin? !
Thinking of this, Qin Wan's heart jumped wildly.
Even though she was excited, Qin Wan didn't dare to reveal the clues that she was investigating the matter. After returning to the Hou's mansion, she could only suppress her worries about Yan Chi, and at the same time began to carefully discern the details of King Jin's case, going back and forth After thinking about it several times, I am still sure that King Jin must have been wronged, but in the palace, who can kill Concubine Jin silently? ! Where did Concubine Jin's fear come from? !
Qin Wan couldn't figure it out. On the second day, after going to Xunniang's place, he didn't go anywhere else. After waiting in the mansion for two days, Han Dong sent the news first, and read Han Dong's letter to the Hou's mansion. , Qin Wan frowned deeply.
Bai Ying said, "Han Dong came in person, Lord Hou and his wife thought it was something about the shop."
Han Dong wrote in the letter that the house was empty and it was under Li Muyun's name. Could it be that Li Muyun, like the third son of the Wu family, likes to live in his own empty house from time to time? !
Qin Wan shook her head, with ten thousand disbeliefs in her heart, she suddenly realized that Li Muyun probably went there to see someone, and couldn't help but regret that she didn't wait a little longer that day.
Qin Wan couldn't see Yan Chi, and there was no clue about the case in the palace. Qin Wan couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but Qin Wan didn't expect that after another two days, the turning point of the case finally came—
Early this morning, Qin Wan finished his breakfast and planned to enter the palace. Before he left, a servant came outside first, saying that Zhan Yang had arrived. When he heard that Zhan Yang had arrived, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. The first reaction is dead!
When they got to the front yard, they saw Zhan Yang waiting anxiously. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly said, "Princess, I found a new case. Please follow the villain and help me out."
Qin Wan naturally went there happily, but said, "Who happened?"
But Zhan Yang shook his head, "I don't know my identity yet, I just want the Princess to help confirm my identity."
Qin Guanjian Zhanyang's expression was solemn, and his heart couldn't help but tense. It's not easy to ask more questions in the Hou's mansion. Qin Guan hurriedly told Hu and followed Zhanyang out of the mansion. He was suspicious in his heart. Could it be that the corpse was so rotten that he couldn't recognize it
After getting into the carriage, Zhan Yang rode a horse to lead the way. Seeing the carriage going all the way to the northeast, Qin Wan subconsciously suspected that he was going to Prince Rui's Mansion, but when he was three blocks away from Prince Rui's Mansion, Zhan Yang turned around The direction, and soon, Qin Wan saw the place where the crime took place. The vast and majestic lintel was covered with cobwebs. Even so, it couldn't stop the iron painted silver hooks with the words "Jin Wangfu" Impressive...
