Seeing Qin Wan's complexion change, Zhan Yang hurriedly said, "What's wrong? What did the princess think of?"
Qin Wan was still in shock, but he didn't say anything for a while. Zhan Yang frowned and looked at Qin Wan without urging him. After a while, Qin Wan finally settled down, "The news is very timely. I did think of something, but …”
Qin Wan hesitated, "But in order to catch the head, I'd better not tell you."
Zhan Yang is also a smart person, he changed the subject and said, "Something happened in the capital, I don't know if it has something to do with it."
Qin Wan shook her head, "Since Zhan Butou can think of this, then this matter ends here, and you should stop investigating."
There was a flash of struggle in Zhan Yang's eyes, and Qin Wan suddenly asked, "How is Mr. Zheng?"
Zhan Yang sighed when he heard this question, "My lord is sick at home now."
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "Master Zheng is still clear in his heart, Zhan Butou is well-intentioned, if he can be promoted, it would be a good thing for the common people. Only when he holds a lot of power can the power be used for the people, but the officialdom needs to be free. Keep it as it is.”
Zhan Yang was helpless, "Okay, then I will listen to the Princess, I will not investigate this case any further, although I am a bit unwilling, but I trust the Princess."
Qin Wan nodded, pouring a cup of tea for Zhan Yang while suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, "Thank you very much, all of us know Guanyin Town, but no one has visited it on the spot. Xue, it must be very difficult for you to come and go and stay there for a few days."
Qin Wan already knew that Zhan Yang was very dedicated to his duties, but this time made her admire Zhan Yang even more.
Zhan Yang's jurisdiction is only Lin'an City, it's not his duty to leave Lin'an City, and he went to Guanyin Town alone this time to learn from the unknown, and he had to hide it from others, so it must be very difficult, but he still went, and in the end Got a harvest.
Zhan Yang's attachment to crime and the truth seems to be more resolute than Qin Wan imagined.
Zhan Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's nothing difficult. I'm a big man and it's not dangerous to walk outside. It just takes some time." Zhan Yang's tone was light, and then he said, "Ning Yi's case is not easy for me. I didn't think much about it at first, but after the princess said it, the more I thought about it, the more I was wrong, if I just believed that Ning Buyi was the murderer and missed the real person behind the scenes, then I'm afraid I'll be uneasy for the rest of my life."
Qin Wan looked at Zhanyang, "You are like this for every case? If it is really an unsolved case, it will be too hard for you to do so."
For an outsider, no matter when he hears or sees a murder case, he feels sorry for the deceased, and he hates the murderer very much, but like Zhan Yang, or someone like Shen Yi who takes punishment and prison as his official responsibility, over time, he will Dilute the emotional turmoil. They are rational and calm. They may have anger, but they will never be the motivation for them to investigate the truth. To investigate the truth, it must be a responsibility, but Zhanyang obviously takes this responsibility too seriously. It's serious, but how many unresolved cases will there be in a Yamen
Zhan Yang smiled, and a bit of satisfaction appeared on his resolute face, "Maybe I am such a person. If I don't clear up a case, I feel very uneasy in my heart. Now that I have put on this government uniform, Just gotta do something about it.”
Qin Wan looked at Zhan Yang and smiled, "There are very few people who are absolutely righteous in this world, but I think you are such a person."
Zhanyang's person is just like his expression, always cold and solemn, like a sword of justice, always slashing towards evil without hesitation.
Zhan Yang tightened his hand holding the teacup slightly, and smiled wryly, "No, who hasn't thought about himself yet? It's just that I'm alone, so I don't care that much. I will think about getting promoted and getting rich all day long so that they can live a good life."
Qin Wan hesitated to speak. Zhan Yang is not young anymore, and he has been a headhunter for many years, so he has some savings. Finding a matchmaker to say that a marriage will not be a problem, but he seems to have no such plan, Qin Wan thought. Let me mention it, but Zhanyang never mentioned his family affairs in front of them. Qin Wan is a sensible person, so he didn't want to ask more.
Qin Wan nodded, "It's still the same sentence, you can do a lot of things for the people. The more you do this, the more you need to protect yourself. Now that the government is unstable, the yamen is a temporary shelter. You can go up with your ability It’s definitely not a problem, it’s not easy for the common people to have a good official.”
This is a compliment, and the smile on the corner of his lips softened by two points, "Thank you Princess for reminding me, I will think about it."
The two said a few more words, Zhan Yang didn't come to drink tea with Qin Wan, he knew that Qin Wan was going to enter the palace, so he got up and left quickly.
After Zhan Yang left, Qin Wan sat alone in the private room and didn't get up for a long time. She only got up when the cup of tea in front of her was cold, put on her cloak and got on the carriage.
The queen mother is getting weaker every day, and she will be especially sad after taking strong medicine. Qin Wan dare not be careless, so he can only go to the palace to see the queen mother once a day. In the carriage, Qin Wan is still thinking about what Zhan Yang said just now If Zhanyang just said that Ning Buyi met a person back then, but didn't say what that person looked like, or if he described something else, Qin Wan wouldn't think too much about it, but Zhanyang just said that the person was leaning on a cane and When you hear someone talking, you don't even look at them...
People with these two characteristics are mostly blind people, and only blind people use a cane, and only blind people don’t subconsciously look away when they hear a sound, and can instruct Ning Yiyi to do so A person must be a high-ranking person, and Qin Wan just happened to know such a high-ranking blind person.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help thinking of something, something she had ignored.
The only person in the world who knows that the current emperor is not Prince Luo is the queen. Later, Concubine Jin died because of this, and King Jin and his own father were also killed because of this. It is enough to see that as long as the emperor knows who understands this secret, he will not If you are merciful, is there anyone who knows before these three people
It has been twenty years, if this secret is announced to the world today, I am afraid that even Prince Yanqi and others will not believe it, and in these twenty years, the emperor has already learned to be the Prince of Luo, or the time is too long. Long, everyone can't tell the difference, so what happened when the emperor was just rescued
At that time, Prince Luo was Prince Luo, and Prince Gong was Prince Gong. Even though the two were brothers, they were somewhat similar, but everyone could still clearly distinguish the two, and the two had different temperaments and endowments. No one would admit that they were wrong. , but the emperor was able to escape the catastrophe because he was seriously injured.
Burns, knife wounds and sword wounds made it difficult to distinguish his face, ordinary people couldn't see it, so who would have a chance to find out
At that time, the person who treated the emperor was Princess Yiqin. Princess Yiqin was a disciple of Yaowanggu. In front of Yiqin and Princess Yi, the emperor is mostly Chicheng. Is there any imprint on the emperor? Does Princess Yi know the old wounds on the emperor? Or other details... In short, Princess Yi is the one who is most likely to discover the secret...
And when she died in the end, Yue Ning said that Princess Yi died suddenly. Although it was said that she died of illness, but she was a doctor at a young age. How could she die of a serious illness? This doubt is much easier to explain if it is explained from other aspects...
If the emperor wanted a person to die, that person had to die, and it was even normal for that person to die.
But what if Prince Yi and Yan Ze find something is wrong
The hatred of killing one's mother, killing one's wife, such a deep hatred, is it worth it for them to come back after many years
Qin Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, of course it was worth it. In the face of the strife of the imperial power, few people can fight against him. If he wants revenge, he can only rely on years of planning. If this is the case, then what is Yan Ze's purpose? ? Did he already know the emperor's secret
Qin Wan was full of doubts but couldn't understand it, and when she entered the palace, she was so calm that she dared not show it.
When they arrived at Shoukang Palace, Qin Wan heard Yue Ning's voice from afar...
"Yes, this sword is not bad. If you are young, choose this one."
"Try it, can you dance or not?"
"Yes, yes, that's it, hey, it looks good..."
Qin Wan entered the palace gate, and within a short distance, he saw Yue Ning was teaching Yan Sui how to dance a sword. Sweating profusely, the whole person looked very excited.
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly and she walked in, and Yue Ning saw her first.
"Hey, you're here! I'm waiting for you! How about taking a look at the dagger I prepared for him?"
Qin Wan came forward with a smile, "Why did you start teaching him martial arts?"
Yue Ning smiled and said, "The last time I talked to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager said that His Royal Highness Jiu's health was not good. At that time, I decided on a whim whether to teach him martial arts. He is a boy who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. , The queen mother said that the emperor used to practice martial arts when he was young, and I had several short soldiers, so I chose one for him."
Qin Wan took a closer look and saw that the dagger in Yan Sui's hand was so thick that it had never been sharpened.
"There is no blade..."
Yue Ning said, "Where can I cut him a knife, what if I hurt myself?"
Qin Wan was most at ease when Yue Ning was doing things, Yan Sui stopped and looked at Qin Wan out of breath.
Qin Wan smiled, "Take a break when you're tired..."
Yan Sui shook his head, and started waving again, Qin Wan went into the Nuan Pavilion to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
As soon as he reached the door of Nuan Pavilion, Qin Wan heard voices coming from inside.
"When the emperor was young, he liked sword dancing the most. I remember that at that time, the first emperor invited a great swordsman from Mengzhou to teach him. He said that the sword is more elegant than the knife. I don't know what the reason is. Learning martial arts How about elegant or not..."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Han'er is different, he can dance with swords, spears, swords and halberds, but he prefers knives."
Speaking of Prince Gong, the Empress Dowager's interest inevitably faltered, and Qin Wan heard Yan Ze say again, "I still remember when I was very young, I watched the Emperor compete with them. In comparison, Uncle Prince Rui's martial arts is the best. Well, my father is always the one who loses."
The queen mother sighed, "Yeah, so I don't want Yan Sui to learn martial arts."
Yan Ze comforted, "Learning martial arts is also beneficial. Don't worry, Yan Sui will not become a martial arts idiot in the future. You see, the emperor has finally been in good health these years, and it has something to do with practicing swords in his early years. It is you, too. You need to move around more."
The queen mother smiled bitterly, "I can't do it anymore, I just woke up before you came, but now I'm a little sleepy again."
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes and walked in, the Queen Mother immediately smiled when she saw Qin Wan, and Yan Ze turned her body in the direction she came from.
"Meet the Empress Dowager..."
With the medical towel still on his face, Yan Ze bent his lips and said, "The princess is here."
"Your Highness came early, but I was late."
Qin Wan asked the queen mother for her pulse while talking with the queen mother. The queen mother remembered what she said just now and suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen the emperor dance sword for so many years. Hey, he is too busy..."
Yan Ze said gently, "The emperor puts state affairs first."
The queen mother thought of something and seemed to have other ideas, but she didn't say anything. When Qin Wan asked for the pulse, she waited for Qin Wan to speak. Qin Wan said, "After taking the medicine, the pulse condition has improved a little, but it's not enough. If you feel tired, just rest, and never get angry or tired."
The queen mother smiled, "Sure enough, you are the most at ease when you take medicine."
Since the Empress Dowager said she felt sleepy, neither Yan Ze nor Qin Wan would stay in the inner room, and they left after a while.
Yue Ning was still teaching Yan Sui outside, Yan Ze walked out of the door calmly, walked to the corridor and stood still according to memory, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen the princess coming to the mansion for the past two days."
Qin Wan turned her eyes to look at Yan Ze, because Yan Ze's face was covered with a medical scarf, her eyes could be unscrupulous, "I always feel that His Highness's eye disease has been cured, but I don't know why, His Highness still can't see, I think it may be It's really a bad chance."
Yan Ze still had the usual gentle appearance, "Does the Princess know where the opportunity lies?"
Qin Wan didn't expect Yan Ze to ask such a question, so she couldn't help but take another deep look at Yan Ze, "I am a doctor, and I can only treat people's diseases. If Your Highness has unresolved problems, I can't cure them, unless His Highness If I want to untangle my heart, it will get twice the result with half the effort.”
Yan Ze smiled slightly, "Miraculous doctor Sun said that I may still have undiscovered hidden illnesses, but the princess is sure that I have unresolved knots in my heart."
Qin Wan withdrew his gaze and looked at Yue Ning in the distance, "There are medicines for physical illnesses, but no medicines for mental illnesses. Dr. Sun has a pure personality, so maybe he didn't think so much."
Yan Ze listened silently, not at all annoyed by Qin Wan's words, on the contrary, after a moment of silence, "Does the princess know where my knot is?"
Qin Wan pursed her lips and did not speak, but Yan Ze smiled slightly, "The princess is really good at medicine, with the princess around, the emperor's grandmother's health can be hoped."
After saying this, Yan Ze stepped forward and walked straight towards Yue Ning along the straight corridor. Qin Wan looked at Yan Ze's back, and felt for the first time that His Royal Highness was shrouded in a repulsive air. Thousands of miles of indifference.
