In the event of an accident, Wen Qingzhu thought it would be easy for him to get it to her in time, if nothing else, to hang someone's life.
Late at night, in the backyard of the palace, a figure was jumping on the roof.
Soon the pursuer appeared, but fell down silently.
In front of the side hospital, Aping woke up from his nightmare, opened his eyes and sat up in an instant, sweating profusely.
She stretched out her hand to lift the curtain and looked outside, but found no one.
After closing it, as soon as the curtain fell, a stream of liquid suddenly splashed on the curtain. A Ping suddenly turned his head and saw a hand reaching in.
"ah-"
Screams pierced the sky, and guards from other parts of the palace rushed towards this direction.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the lights in the palace were lit up one after another, making it look like daylight.
In the main courtyard, Wen Qingzhu hurriedly passed on his clothes and stood up. Lu Tao held a lantern and led her to the west room.
Pushing the door open, a strong smell of blood came out.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw A Ping on the bed. He looked like he had been fished out of a pool of blood, covered in blood.
After a quick check in front of the bed, I felt a little relieved.
Most of the blood on Aping's body was not hers.
After more than half an hour, Wen Qingzhu finally took care of the injury and handed Aping over to the care of the nuns at the palace.
She walked outside, sat down, and asked the guard captain: "What's going on?"
"Someone wanted to kidnap Aping and sent two groups of people in. The first group of people attracted the attention of the guards, and the second group of people tried to secretly capture Aping."
"Sound in the east and attack in the west." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
Cold sweat dripped down the head of the guard captain: "Fortunately, the two people sent by the princess last night noticed something unusual and raised the alarm, so we rushed over, but Aping was still injured, and we also lost more than ten people."
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes: "I understand, go down."
The guard captain wanted to say something else, but Lu Tao shook his head at him, and he went down unwillingly.
He looked down at his hands, and there were still blood stains on them.
The other party came directly towards A Ping.
If he wanted to kill her, he might have succeeded now. It seemed that the person who came just wanted to kidnap A Ping.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked at the gloomy night outside the door: "Lu Tao, go and contact Mr. Yang Song and see if you can get in touch. If not, we will live in Huaqing Palace in the future."
It was getting brighter, and Wen Qingzhu came to visit A Ping again. She was not seriously injured, but she showed no sign of waking up.
After asking the nanny who was taking care of A Ping, Wen Qingzhu continued to diagnose A Ping's pulse.
After diagnosing the pulse, she immediately reached out and opened A Ping's eyelids, and her expression changed instantly.
The nanny next to me asked very worriedly: "Princess, is Aping okay?"
"It's okay. Take good care of her. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Wen Qingzhu stood up and turned to the kitchen.
The cook was looking after the medicine stove. When she saw her coming, she quickly got out of the way.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Where's the dregs of medicine that A Ping drank last night?"
"Here." The cook quickly took out a jar from under the chopping board.
Taking the jar, Wen Qingzhu poured the dregs of medicine onto the chopping board, examined it carefully, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
Someone had spiked the medicine last night.
In the front hall, all the servants were standing here, everyone was frightened.
One after another, people were taken into the side room next door, and it was known that there was no one in the main room.
At noon, Su Huo walked out of the side room.
Stopping in front of Wen Qingzhu, he handed her a case file: "We found out that three people have sneaked into the palace. It is basically certain that they are targeting Miss Aping."
Wen Qingzhu took the case file, flipped through it quickly, and said calmly: "It seems that the palace has become a sieve. They can come and leave when they want."
Su Huo disagreed: "What you said is too serious. In order to sneak into the palace, they have been preparing for at least two years. Fortunately, they did not take action against you."
Wen Qingzhu pointed to the position beside him: "If they dared to attack me, they would already be corpses."
Su Huo's heart moved, he sat down as he was told, and said thoughtfully: "You came to me not to investigate A Ping's affairs, right?"
"Of course, I know what happened to A Ping, and I came to you for another matter that I didn't know about." Wen Qingzhu told what happened last night when Lei Xiao and Ruan Mi came over.
Su Huo looked solemn: "How could it be Master Lei and General Ruan?"
Wen Qingzhu pinched his brows and said distressedly: "According to normal circumstances, I should trust Mr. Lei, but Ruan Mi's personality makes it impossible to doubt him. What's more, the Ruan family and the Lei family are in-laws."
After pondering for a long time, Su Huo made a suggestion: "Since the incident started with Yun Wan, why not go and see Yun Wan first?"
Wen Qingzhu refused: "No! If I really go, I will have fallen into Jiang Yuancheng's trap. The reason why he has not taken action now is because he is worried about Yun Wan. It is not the time to use Yun Wan yet."
"What do you want to do with Yun Wan?" Su Huo suddenly felt that Wen Qingzhu in front of him was very strange.
She slowly revealed a meaningful smile: "You will know then that, to a certain extent, Jiang Yuancheng and I are the same type of people."
These words made Su Huo frown, but he didn't say anything.
In the evening, the carriage entered the palace and went straight to the queen's residence.
Wei Qinglin had been ready for a long time. When he saw them coming, he immediately ordered people to move A Ping to the back hall.
After settling A Ping, Wen Qingzhu followed Wei Qinglin to the front hall.
"I may have to work hard on you recently." Wen Qingzhu was not polite.
Wei Qinglin shook his head: "Sister Qingzhu, why do you have to be so polite."
She glanced in the direction of Qianyuan Palace, still a little worried: "Don't tell me, Your Majesty?"
Wen Qingzhu replied: "No, I estimated in my heart that this matter is most likely related to the emperor, so I didn't tell him."
Wei Qinglin was slightly shocked, but he didn't ask anything and said he would take care of A Ping.
Now that I have come to the palace, of course I cannot avoid meeting the emperor.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuanhan was not in the palace, and Linlang stayed behind, saying that the emperor went to the Le Military Camp to discuss matters with Ruan Mi.
"That's it?" Wen Qingzhu smiled, becoming more and more certain that what happened last night was really related to Jiang Yuanhan.
Linlang's face was filled with apology: "That's what the emperor told you."
Wen Qingzhu waved his hand, turned and left.
Looking at her back, Linlang clenched his hands, not knowing whether it was right to lie to her like this.
After leaving the palace, Wen Qingzhu kept thinking, who has the problem between Lei Xiao and Ruan Mi
When we returned to the palace, it was already late at night.
After tossing and turning, Xi'er suddenly knocked on the door outside.
"Princess! Princess!"
Lu Tao quickly got up and opened the door to let Xi'er in.
Wen Qingzhu was not asleep at all. He opened the tent, looked at Xi'er who looked flustered and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's the regent! Xianbei has captured the regent! Asking Qi to cede Youzhou!" Xi'er quickly took out the secret letter and handed it over.
After reading the secret letter, Wen Qingzhu's expression flickered under the light.
She reached out her hand, and Lu Tao took the secret letter, then burned it.
Xi'er was a little puzzled: "Isn't the princess worried?"
Wen Qingzhu took a pillow and leaned on it: "If Xianbei could catch Fu Lie, why would they make such a request? They obviously have other purposes."
"Then the regent is okay?" Xi'er felt relieved.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and asked Lu Tao to get the book she had not finished last night. She turned over the pages and said to Xi'er, "Tomorrow you and Beidou will go to Xiangzhou. There is news about Jin Yuanbao."
Xi'er was immediately overjoyed: "Really?!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at the page he saw last night. It happened to write about the customs of Xiangzhou, saying that the folk customs were strong and strong.
She reminded Xi'er: "Don't get excited when something happens. If you don't understand anything, take my sign and go to the magistrate of Xiangzhou. He is a good official and understands the importance of gold ingots."
"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!" Xi'er thanked her repeatedly.
As soon as Xi'er left, Lu Tao said very worriedly: "Fu Shiyi is Pei Yu's man, will there be any problems?"
Wen Qingzhu put down the book in his hand and looked at Lu Tao with a smile: "Have you forgotten where Fu Shiyi is from?"
Lu Tao was startled and murmured for a long time: "Xiangzhou."
Fu Shiyi really knew the news about Jin Yuanbao not from Pei Yu, but from his hometown in Xiangzhou.
The last time there was a snowstorm in Yunzhou, refugees came to the capital, and the magistrate of Xiangzhou put in a lot of effort.
A person with this ability would of course know where Jin Yuanbao is, but with his ability, he might not be able to save Jin Yuanbao.
I just told myself through Fu Shiyi's mouth.
For three days in a row, Wen Qingzhu did not see the emperor, but the rumors became more and more fierce.
Early on the fourth day, the governor asked to see him.
In the living room, Wen Qingzhu asked while reading a book, "What's the matter with Mr. Jin?"
Jin Long replied respectfully: "I heard that an assassin appeared in the palace a few days ago?"
"Yeah." Wen Qingzhu put down the book in his hand.
Jin Long took a deep breath and quickly explained the situation: "Yesterday, we caught a thief in an inn that we had been chasing for a long time. While searching for and sorting out the stolen goods, we found a stone."
"Stone?" Wen Qingzhu stared slightly.
Jin Long raised his head and said, "Emperor Stone."
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything. She knew very well that there was indeed a stone in the palace, also called the Emperor's Stone.
Jin Long continued: "After interrogation, the thief confessed that this imperial stone was stolen from the Prince Regent's Palace on the day when the Prince's Palace was assassinated."
Wen Qingzhu said: "It's just a stone. Although it's also called the Emperor's Stone, Master Jin doesn't need to make a special trip, right?"
"I don't think it's necessary, but Mr. Lei impeached the princess and the regent with the intention of treason. At the same time, he produced evidence of collusion between the princess and He Zui. I came here because I wanted to take a look at the princess's warehouse."
After Jin Long finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu was not in a hurry to reply, but turned to look at Lu Tao: "Are there any new rumors in the capital today?"
Lu Tao shook his head: "No."
Wen Qingzhu looked at Jin Long attentively: "I don't know yet that Lord Lei is impeaching me and the regent. Can I see the emperor first?"
"I'm afraid not!" Su Huo's voice came from outside the door.
Wen Qingzhu looked up and saw that Su Huo came in with people from Dali Temple, obviously not letting Wen Qingzhu leave.
When Su Huo came in, Wen Qingzhu also stood up.
He looked at Jin Long, then at Su Huo, and said with a smile: "It seems that you two are well prepared."
"Princess, I misunderstood. I was just following orders." Jin Long lowered his head and didn't seem to want to embarrass Wen Qingzhu.
Now that the matter was over, especially with Su Huo still there, Wen Qingzhu took them to the warehouse.
Soon I found the unlocked door lock, deep and shallow footprints, and signs of rummaging.
Su Huoming sealed the scene, turned to Wen Qingzhu and said, "Princess, please come with us."
Lu Tao was very angry: "Master Su! You clearly know-"
"Let's go!" Wen Qingzhu glanced at her, interrupted her, and followed Su Huo out happily.
When they arrived at Dali Temple, Wen Qingzhu was not put in prison, but was guarded in the guest room.
Su Huo looked at her deeply and said, "Princess, have a good rest. Everything will be clear after the interrogation of He Zhui."
"Excuse me, Mr. Su." Wen Qingzhu smiled and sent him away.
After coming back and sitting down, Wen Qingzhu told Lu Tao: "Go get paper and pen."
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were laid out. Wen Qingzhu dipped his pen in the ink. He thought carefully about the events of the past few days and began to list them one by one.
