"You mean, when you were in the emperor's palace last night, the imperial doctor brought you a cup of coffee mixed with sleeping pills? Then, he disappeared like a living person in the heavily guarded palace?" Leng Yi Yao's voice had a hint of condensation. When it rang out in the classroom, Yunlai, who had been observing her, was suddenly startled.
The people who were chatting lively just now seemed to be frightened and overwhelmed by these words. Everyone froze in place. For a moment, there was no noise in the entire classroom, only Leng Yiyao's smoke-like voice. His eyes fell into the distance, and he answered the call quietly, word by word.
"Are there no guards in the emperor's palace? Where are the guards patrolling the door? Lu Chen, you have to pray that your father is okay. Otherwise, as the last person to stay in the same room with him, if something happens to your father, you I will never be able to escape the suspicion of plotting to usurp the throne in this life!" Her words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Not only were the entire special class stunned, but Lu Chen's eyes in the palace were even colder.
All responsibilities were established because he himself summoned the imperial doctor to treat his father. As a result, he suddenly disappeared after spending the night, and his father's condition became more serious. No matter who looks at him, he is the most suspicious. After all, it would be most advantageous for him to take action now while his father's guilt for murdering the heir to the throne has not yet been proven!
But why would he kill his father
Lu Chen stood up suddenly and looked at the many imperial doctors surrounding the bed, their expressions flickering.
For a moment, no one in the entire palace dared to look up and see Lu Chen's face.
The first captain of the bodyguard responsible for the security of the royal family just died yesterday, and today another imperial doctor who was a close friend of the emperor suddenly disappeared. Murderous plots are everywhere and interlocking. Who is it? Who is behind the scenes
"Let me in!" A cold female voice sounded outside the door. The eldest princess stood at the door in formal attire, with a maid kneeling behind her. Lu Chen's head guard looked back at his master with an awkward expression. Logically speaking, if the princess comes to visit His Majesty, who would dare to stop her? But the current situation is special. His Majesty's condition has not been diagnosed and confirmed. His Highness has ordered that no one can enter without his order. Now, this, this is really a dilemma.
"What? Do you want me to force my way in?" The princess cast a cold glance at the guard standing in front of the door, with a flash of sarcasm in her eyes.
Although he was no longer old, the stern look that swept across his eyes still shocked everyone and made them look pale.
"Please come in, princess." Lu Chen rubbed his brows, took a deep breath, glanced at the sleeping emperor lying on the bed, and said quietly to the phone: "Leng Yiyao, I I owe you two conditions, and now I owe you a third, please help me."
When he said this sentence, he paused several times and finished gradually.
The attendants who were kneeling on the ground could all hear that the Hehe Prince actually lowered his dignity to the lowest level and spoke to a woman in a pleading tone like never before.
Is this still the arrogant and contemptuous eldest prince? Is he still the wanton, arrogant and self-centered His Highness
For a moment, everyone had mixed feelings, and they didn't know whether to sigh or feel sad...
Leng Yiyao propped her chin up and did not agree in a hurry. On the contrary, she looked at the expressions of the whole class that looked like "one, two, three, wooden people", and then she slowly raised her lips: "What? Everyone is fascinated?" "
"No, no." Everyone shook their heads subconsciously, wanting to get rid of it immediately. Just kidding, there was internal fighting in the royal family. During the most tragic period in history, one-third of the civilians in the entire imperial capital were buried with it. Although they have a distinguished status, they do not overestimate their capabilities and think that they can intervene in the internal affairs of the royal family at will. However, for such a big matter, the eldest prince Lu Chen turned around and called Leng Yiyao without hesitation... Is this a little too trusting
Leng Yiyao glanced at everyone's reaction, but the shocked voice of the princess suddenly sounded on the phone: "Your Majesty! You quacks! What happened to your Majesty!"
The sound on the phone became increasingly noisy, and Leng Yiyao guessed that there was already a huge commotion in the emperor's palace.
The life of this eldest princess is closely related to His Majesty the Emperor. Who makes her have no son
She smiled and smiled slightly at Lu Chen, who had been waiting for her answer with bated breath: "Remember the three conditions."
The moment she finished speaking, a meteor flashed across Lu Chen's eyes, instantly lighting up his gloomy eyes. He held the phone with a slight trembling, as if holding the most confidence. "I'll wait for you to cash in on me anytime."
The eldest princess turned around and saw that Lu Chen was still talking to others on the phone at this time. She was furious and rushed over immediately.
Seeing that they were about to collide, Lu Chen's captain of the bodyguard immediately rushed forward to separate the princess.
"Get away! You bitch! How dare you stop me!" The eldest princess slapped her, but the captain of the guard did not dare to hide and accepted it forcefully.
Lu Chen's eyes flashed coldly, but he told Leng Yiyao: "I'm hanging up the phone. Come to the palace as soon as possible."
After saying that, there was a blind tone on the phone.
Leng Yiyao could almost imagine the scene in which Lu Chen and the princess would confront each other in the next moment, and couldn't help but shake her head speechlessly.
The royal family is very dirty and has always been so. I thought that His Majesty the Emperor personally directed the murder last night and had everything under control. But now it seems that it has long been beyond his control.
Who on earth has the ability to push the emperor to this point in his own situation? It seems that he is really bedridden...
She smiled, stood up casually, and packed away her belongings.
"Do you really want to wade into this muddy water?" Yunlai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, raised his head, and looked quietly into her eyes.
He really couldn't understand. She clearly didn't have much affection for the royal family. Even when Lu Chen stood in front of Hemo, he was not on the same level at all. Why did she still go to help him? Wouldn't it be better to let them resolve the royal family's affairs themselves
Muddy water
Leng Yiyao looked back at him and said, "I have been targeted by someone with intentions for a long time. How can I stay out of the matter so easily?"
Last night, during Lu Chen's opening dance, the entire royal family put her and Lu Chen in the same camp. Relying on Hemmer's identity to clear up the relationship? Can. But what if one day, Hemo breaks up with her? Is she going to beg for help and seek protection from the military
She has never been the kind of person who relies on others to live!
Don't mention it, the relationship with Hemo has not been settled yet, even if they are really together, they will never lower themselves to him for this kind of thing. What she wants is always to look at each other as equals!
Perhaps because her voice was too calm and composed, or because her expression was too natural, Yunlai didn't know what to retort for a moment, and watched her leave the classroom and go directly to the palace without looking back.
The palace guards had obviously received the instructions in advance, and Leng Yiyao arrived at Lu Chen's palace gate almost unimpeded.
The eldest princess insisted on guarding His Majesty the Emperor herself. When the second princess heard that her son was being embarrassed, they immediately got into a fight. The two princesses were guarding the emperor's palace at the same time, but Lu Chen came out on his own.
"What is the condition of the emperor's illness?" She saw Lu Chen walking towards him and spoke directly without any nonsense.
"The fever persists and the cause cannot be found." The high temperature all over the body is exactly the same as last night. However, after checking all the conditions, no cause can be found!
"Where is the imperial doctor? Didn't he say he was your father's confidant? I remember that when I came to D City to find you, he was also under the emperor's orders?" Leng Yiyao frowned. Logically speaking, an emperor who has been working in the royal family for a lifetime should not be incapable of understanding people. Since he is a confidant by his side and an imperial doctor who is responsible for physical health, he cannot be bribed easily. But this man disappeared. It just disappeared, it was so bizarre.
"I checked all the surveillance videos and didn't capture anyone leaving the dormitory. However, the coffee in front of the bed was monitored and found to be laced with drugs." This was what he found strange. If the other party was really bribed, You can completely poison him before leaving. Why just stun him
"Your Highness!" While the two were talking, a soft call suddenly came from the window. From the sound of her voice, she seemed to be a woman, but she sounded a bit older.
Seeing the smile slowly blooming on Lu Chen's face, that kind of subconscious gentleness, Leng Yiyao was slightly surprised. She turned her head and saw a woman about fifty years old standing outside the window.
Judging from his clothes, he must be from the palace. His face is simple, his temples are a bit white, and the wrinkles on his face are impossible to ignore.
"Didn't I tell you to stop working? Why are you still cleaning the palace in such a cold weather?" Lu Chen walked over and looked at him helplessly. My wet nurse, who has been honest and honest for so many years, came to see him because she was worried because she heard the gossip outside.
He looked at the chapped hands of the other party and sighed indescribably. I originally wanted to send her to be fostered, but looking at her appearance, I'm afraid she will never be idle.
"I'm a servant, what will I do if I don't work?" The wet nurse smiled, not caring about the chapped skin on her hands. She carefully looked at Leng Yiyao who was standing behind him, and immediately regretted: "Am I Are you interrupting your conversation?"
Standing outside the window, you really can't see that there is a woman in his palace. However, it seems that he is really young. Could it be the little girl whom His Highness has been designated as his princess according to legend
The wet nurse was a little curious, but didn't dare to take a closer look. She shrank back slightly, as if she was afraid that she would stain the noble man's eyes.
"You are my wet nurse." Lu Chen was a little helpless. The other party was born as a slave. After so many years, the deep-rooted concept cannot be changed. He can only let others take care of her life to the greatest extent, but if she really does some chores in the palace, No one will stop me. After all, I was born there and can't change it.
Seeing that she wanted to see Leng Yiyao but didn't dare to look any further, he couldn't help but turn around and smile at Leng Yiyao, and introduced himself: "This is my wet nurse. She took care of me when I was sick when I was a child."
He paused. Children of the royal family were not allowed to be raised by their mother's side. There was nothing that could be done about it. Fortunately, he was not completely alone since he was a child.
Feeling a little better, he turned around and introduced to the wet nurse: "This is Leng Yiyao, the person I... like very much."
Confess your feelings when you disagree
Leng Yiyao blinked, almost not following this man's routine.
Didn’t we just talk about the emperor? Why did the topic turn around as soon as I turned around
But before she could speak, Lu Chen's wet nurse covered her mouth and smiled happily: "Miss Leng seems to be an aristocratic person at first glance. Your Highness has good taste."
So, how is she going to answer the call
Leng Yiyao looked at Lu Chen who finally smiled in front of her and felt her head hurt.
Does this person know what situation he is in now? Are you still joking here
Probably because she was not used to talking and laughing in front of outsiders, Lu Chen's wet nurse quickly lowered her head, and then carefully took out a cup from behind: "This is the barley water I used to make for you when you were a child. Last night, I was afraid that You didn't sleep well. I see you don't look good. Drink a little. It's good for your health." After saying that, he rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going to work." After that, he smiled respectfully at Leng Yiyao and said nothing about the rumors outside.
Seeing that the wet nurse was gone, Lu Chen opened the tea cup, and the familiar smell inside hit his face. He lowered his head and took a sip. It still tasted like his childhood.
"When I was a child, I always thought she was very talkative and liked to divination everything." He turned around and looked down at Leng Yiyao, "Her family is from a small country in the east. They took risks because of years of war and lack of food. Smuggled into the empire. However, he was soon caught by the border guards. The whole family would rather sell themselves into slavery than go back."
When Leng Yiyao listened to his words, there was a faint warmth in her eyes. She was afraid that this wet nurse was extraordinary to him. "I was in poor health when I was a child and often got sick. My father had many things to do and couldn't stay with me every day, and my mother couldn't keep an eye on me because of the rules. I am a wet nurse with a naive temperament. When she saw that I was sick, she would stay up all night. I was tinkering with the local recipes from their hometown. According to her, they were called 'secret techniques'. At first, I refused to drink them. Later, when I became really ill and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor didn't work, I just tried it. Once, the result turned out to be really good." Therefore, I was very interested in the "secret techniques" in the ancient oriental books that wet nurses admired.
Leng Yiyao raised her eyebrows lightly, and a dark cold light flashed in her eyes: "Living sacrifice is also a kind of 'secret technique', right?"
Lu Chen's expression paused, and he suddenly looked at her with lowered eyebrows.
Silence spread lightly between the two of them.
She turned around, curved her lips, and smiled. This is the default.
Therefore, why her original body was sacrificed to heaven in such a twisty way. Is it because of a simple and honest wet nurse beside Lu Chen
He is so arrogant and arrogant, and does whatever he wants, even kidnapping so many noble boys and girls, is it because he believes in such a secret technique? She had to praise that such a person with such a temper could live to such an old age without any harm. Did His Majesty the Emperor sincerely protect his eldest son, or should he let him thank his two uncles for not killing him
"Ahem". Lu Chen coughed and turned his head subconsciously. Regarding the fact that Leng Yiyao was clearly on his "living sacrifice" list, but when he went to D City, everyone else on the list disappeared, but she was still jumping around and alive, the two of them had already I know it, but I subconsciously avoid this topic every time.
"I think you'd better not cough." Leng Yiyao shook her head, thinking that the most troublesome thing now was not settling old scores: "You'd better think about how to deal with your two uncles."
There was a murder just yesterday, and another person is missing today. The police will definitely need to follow up the investigation further. Including last night, there were only three people in the emperor's palace. Now the emperor is unconscious and the imperial doctor has disappeared mysteriously. Even if he is covered with mouths, he may not be able to explain it for a while. In addition, the two Grand Dukes have been dormant for so many years, and now they are obviously ready to take action. Even the emperor couldn't directly abolish them and had been holding back until now. Lu Chen was afraid that it would be even more difficult for him to deal with them.
Sure enough, as soon as Leng Yiyao finished speaking, all the rare smiles on Lu Chen's face disappeared.
"Who was in charge of guarding the emperor's palace last night?" Leng Yiyao tapped the back of his hand lightly with his fingertips. After thinking about it, he started with the simplest place.
"My captain of the bodyguard." Lu Chen replied without hesitation.
"Oh, it's him." He was the one who raced with bullets when he was ambushed on the way back to the imperial capital. Unfortunately, despite his mediocre abilities, almost half of the people under his command died on the road. Compared with a shrewd and capable person like Guard Captain Lu, he is not on the same level at all. But there are indeed no other strong soldiers and generals around Lu Chen. In the palace, the captains of guards have been trained with him since childhood, and the rest are not counted, so at least you can rest assured.
She shook her head, "He has been waiting outside the door and didn't see the imperial doctor go out?"
"Yes, he didn't let anyone else change his shift at night, and the surveillance cameras showed that he was the only one at the door from beginning to end."
"Where's that side of the window?" She squinted her eyes. People would never grow wings and fly away for no reason.
"The door opposite the window is the end point of the guards' patrol. There are also cameras, but there are no traces." Lu Chen sighed tiredly, feeling unbelievable.
"That's easy to explain." Leng Yiyao glanced at the emperor's palace calmly: "If you can't fly, you can only hide on the ground!"
"You mean..." Lu Chen's eyes flashed with light: "Secret passage?"
"Is there a secret passage in your father's palace?" She smiled playfully and said it calmly.
There was a hint of complexity in Lu Chen's eyes, but he didn't hide it: "As far as I know, there is indeed one." Moreover, the entrance was under the bed, but he had stumbled upon it by mistake, and even his father couldn't help it. How could he, a royal doctor, know this without telling him
"Don't worry about whether the secret passage can be announced to the public now. Check it! Check it to the end! If it's too late, if the person escapes, you will never be able to stand up again!" I have to say that the two grand dukes are very smart. . After the emperor's "dark history" was exposed last night, he just hung up and stayed out of it. He didn't stay overnight in the palace, nor stayed by the emperor's side every step of the way. How did he get here and how did he get back home.
But now it seems that staying out of the matter in this way has eliminated all suspicions, and Lu Chen has become the first suspect.
I don’t know, is this a mistake, or is it a deliberate arrangement
Leng Yiyao pointed to the location of the emperor's palace, "Find a few people you trust the most, and check it out directly. Don't worry about what the two princesses are doing, after all, they are on your side." The second princess Needless to say, she was her biological mother. Anyone could trick Lu Chen, but she would never do it. Not to mention the eldest princess. If Lu Chen succeeds to the throne, she can still ascend the throne smoothly. If Lu Chen is pulled down by the two princes, haha, I have never heard of an uncle who would treat his sister-in-law and sister-in-law like home.
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he took Leng Yiyao directly back to the emperor's palace without any further hesitation.
I saw that he ordered the rest to disperse immediately, and the palace door was immediately closed. Immediately, in the astonished eyes of the two princesses, the entrance to the secret passage beside their father was opened!
Under the edge of the bed inlaid with pure gold, there was a dark path, like a tiger, with its bloody mouth open, coming towards everyone.
The two princesses had been married to the emperor for many years and had never known that there was such a secret passage in the palace. They suddenly looked shocked.
But he saw Leng Yiyao walking over calmly, and in a blink of an eye, her petite and exquisite body disappeared under the bed, disappearing in an instant...
Lu Chen's eyes sank, and a group of guards under his command immediately surrounded him and quickly followed him.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two princesses left in the huge palace and His Majesty the Emperor, who was lying on the bed, unable to move...
The sky is obviously very blue, but at this moment, it is strangely restless...
