"I'm sorry, Princess, I'm really unwell." Wen Qingfang took care of Jiang Yuansheng all night and couldn't kneel down at all.
He Wenru said nothing.
The two nuns behind her immediately stepped forward and forced Wen Qingfang to kneel down.
Wen Qingfang had never been treated like this before and was about to open her mouth and scream.
Her mouth was tightly covered.
"Keep her here, and I will take care of the prince."
He Wenru gave an order and Wen Qingfang was dragged out.
In the Luoying Pavilion of Xue Mansion.
Wen Qingzhu listened to Lu Tao talking about the news about Prince Huai's Mansion, and said with pity: "She might not have gone. Prince Huai is like this. It's impossible to do anything."
"But Princess Huai insists on going back. Mr. Zheng has already returned to Beijing, and she has not tried to persuade her to stop her." Lu Tao felt even more pity, thinking that she was too stubborn.
On July nights, the wind is hot.
Wen Qingzhu lay on the mat, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
For some reason, her eyelids kept twitching.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Shaoyao's voice came: "Miss, Yunxian has sent a letter."
Wen Qingzhu immediately stood up and let Shaoyao in.
Shaoyao handed over a very small roll of paper. After reading it, Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows darkened: "How did Yunxian end up in the heavenly prison?"
"My servant is not sure. After the young lady went to bed, Lu Tao went to General Fu's side. It seemed that something happened on the canal side." Shaoyao also looked worried.
Wen Qingzhu quickly changed into a set of casual clothes, put on his cloak, took Shaoyao and Xi'er and went to Tianlao.
After meeting Lu Lei, Wen Qingzhu explained his intention.
"I want to see Yunxian."
"No! She is now a prisoner of the imperial court and is waiting to be executed!"
Lu Lei refused without hesitation.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him and asked, "What on earth did Yun Xian commit?"
"On the King of Chu's side, it was Yunxian who took it upon herself to destroy the fence of the moat and murder Mr. He, what do you think?" Lu Lei looked at her with firm eyes.
Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment: "It's not Yunxian, it's Wen Qinglan."
"Do you have evidence?" Lu Lei became serious.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No, but I have a way to make Wen Qinglan show his weakness."
Lu Lei took a deep breath and was about to refuse, but Wei Yu came over.
He brought Concubine Wei's order with him: "Master Lu, this is Concubine Wei who wants to see Yun Xian."
Lu Lei looked at Wei Yu and had no choice but to let them in.
He was very worried and kept following behind.
Arriving at the depths of the prison, Wen Qingzhu saw Yun Xian, who was covered in scars, wearing gray prison clothes, her hair was messy, and her face was even more dirty.
Standing outside the iron fence, Wen Qingzhu took off his hood, looked at Yun Xian and said, "I'm here, you tell me, I will decide whether to save you or not based on your information."
Yunxian gasped and turned her head with difficulty: "Save me out first."
"You have no choice." Wen Qingzhu looked at her indifferently, "If you don't want to tell me, I will go to the canal myself and I will know everything."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Yunxian was anxious: "Wait! I said it!"
Wen Qingzhu slowly turned around, looked at Lu Lei, and motioned for him to open the iron door.
Lu Lei was silent for a moment. He heard about the canal and decided to go over and open the iron gate.
After Wen Qingzhu walked in, he asked someone to bring water and food to Yun Xian.
After devouring the food, Yunxian finally regained some strength.
She looked at Wen Qingzhu, then at Wei Yu and Lu Lei, and smiled sarcastically: "None of you can escape. That bitch Wen Qinglan wants to kill three birds with one stone. Fu Lie, Lu Chengfei, Wei Feng, no one can escape." Don’t even think about escaping this.”
"What do you mean?" Wen Qingzhu's face turned serious and he reached out to grab Yun Xian's chin.
Yunxian breathed heavily, raised her head and laughed.
After a long while, she looked at Wei Yu and said: "Wen Qinglan has found out that Qiaoyu is a member of the Yue family. If I remember correctly, she is still pregnant with Wei Feng's child."
After hearing the news, Wei Yu looked calm, while Lu Lei looked at Wei Yu and then Wen Qingzhu in surprise.
After finding that their faces were calm, he said in disbelief: "The Wei family is actually harboring people from the Yue family! Are you looking for death!"
"Master Lu, now that you know, I suggest you stay silent."
After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, he turned to look at Yun Xian: "What's the matter with General Lu, and what's the matter with Fu Lie?"
"No, you have to help me first, and then I'll tell you." Yunxian shook her head firmly and refused to speak again.
Wen Qingzhu stood up, put on his hood, turned around and walked out.
Instructed Lu Lei: "Watch Yunxian carefully and don't let anyone get close to her."
After leaving Tianlao, Wen Qingzhu turned to Dali Temple.
Yunxian went to the jail quietly. If this case was handled by Su Huo, she would definitely get the news.
She only got the news now, so Yunxian's case was handled by him.
The carriage stopped at the door of the Criminal Division.
Wen Qingzhu got out of the car and looked at the dark Shenxing Division, which looked cold and dark.
"Let's go." Wen Qingzhu took Shaoyao and Xi'er there.
When they arrived at the door of the Shenxing Department, a sinister-looking government servant welcomed them in. He said with a cold smile: "Miss Wen, my lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wen Qingzhu glanced at this person and curled his lips: "That really kept you adults waiting for a long time."
The yamen servant led them to the house diligently.
Hei Jiren was sitting on the main seat, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing her coming, he immediately put down his tea cup and greeted her enthusiastically: "Miss Wen, please come quickly."
Wen Qingzhu stepped in, but the yamen servant behind him stopped Shaoyao and Xi'er.
"You two girls, I would like to have a private chat with Miss Wen."
Wen Qingzhu looked at Hei Jiren: "What? Are you afraid that my people will leak the news?"
Hei Jiren laughed evilly: "No, no, it's just that this matter is of great importance, and I can only tell Miss Wen alone."
After looking at Hei Jiren for a long time, Wen Qingzhu finally agreed.
Shaoyao and Xi'er stayed outside the door. The door was closed and the room was silent.
Wen Qingzhu sat down leisurely and looked at Hei Jiren: "Tell me, you helped Yun Xian. Where did you get the news from her?"
"Miss Wen is indeed Miss Wen, I admire you so much." Hei Jiren said a few polite words, and the smile on his face slowly faded away.
After he sat down, he rolled up the sleeves on his wrists, revealing the black meridians on his wrists: "Miss Wen, you should be able to cure this poison, right?"
Wen Qingzhu squinted his eyes and saw, isn't this the poison from the Qiang people
"Master Hei is really powerful. Even poisoning is different." Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked at him, "This poison is difficult to detoxify, and it won't be cured in a short time. Didn't Master Hei go to guard the imperial mausoleum some time ago? How did he get poisoned? Already?"
Hei Jiren tried hard to endure the anger in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "It's just a trick by the villain. It's nothing now. May I ask if Miss Wen can cure this poison?"
"Yes, yes, what's the benefit of helping me?" Wen Qingzhu tapped his knuckles on the table and looked at Hei Jiren with his eyes.
The smile on Hei Jiren's face appeared again: "There are many benefits. For example, Fu Shiyi is targeted by King Ning and King Chu. If Miss Wen loses him, she will also lose Concubine Luo."
Wen Qingzhu twisted his wrist and looked at him sideways: "Is there any progress in the corruption case in Jiangnan?"
"Well, Mr. Fu has already obtained the evidence. This evidence is very unfavorable to King Chu and King Ning. They will definitely not let Mr. Fu return to Beijing safely." Hei Jiren is very confident, and Wen Qingzhu will definitely be reluctant to let Fu Shiyi go.
But Wen Qingzhu laughed: "If Fu Shiyi can't return to the capital, what's the point of having him?!"
Hei Jiren stared at Wen Qingzhu for a long time, and his expression slowly turned gloomy.
The two of them just looked at each other until Hei Jiren suddenly laughed: "Miss Wen, why don't you tell me, is there anything that Hei Jiren needs help with?"
"This has to make me think carefully. It's rare for Mr. Hei to help me." Wen Qingzhu deliberately pondered, but in reality he was thinking about how Hei Jiren could be poisoned like this.
It seemed that she needed to inquire about the news from the imperial mausoleum.
After a long time, the candle crackled, and Wen Qingzhu raised his head: "I thought of it."
Hei Jiren tried hard to maintain a smile and asked respectfully: "Miss Wen, please speak."
Wen Qingzhu's smile deepened: "I heard that Master Hei has many eyes and ears, why don't you help me investigate an old matter."
After returning to Xue Mansion, Lu Tao was waiting anxiously at the door.
"Miss, you're finally back." Lu Tao hurriedly came over, pulled her and walked inside.
Wen Qingzhu asked: "Something happened over the canal?"
"Well, General Fu is waiting to meet before leaving." Lu Tao hurriedly took her to Luoying Pavilion.
As soon as he walked through the courtyard gate, Wen Qingzhu saw Fu Lie wearing a suit of armor from a distance, with Yang Dong in the same military uniform standing next to him.
Quickly stepping forward, the two people came together under the veranda.
"Weizhi, has the order been issued?"
Fu Lie held her hand: "Well, Your Majesty asked me to go over there to deal with the riots over there, and also to supervise the canal affairs."
"On the other side of the canal, King Chu, King Ning and King Huai have all intervened. Now that Li Du is still there, you will only have a thankless job in the past."
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but frown. Jiang Yue was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"It doesn't matter Li Du. The people of King Chu and King Huai are difficult to deal with. They are fighting for control of the canal. It's very chaotic over there."
Fu Lie looked at Wen Qingzhu's worried face and suddenly reached out to touch her eyebrows: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything. Lei Yan will accompany me there."
"Well, then you should be careful." Wen Qingzhu was actually not at ease.
After seeing off Fu Lie, Wen Qingzhu stood at the door, feeling worried.
At dawn, Mrs. Ning came over with Ning Xiu's letter.
After reading Ning Xiu's letter, Wen Qingzhu looked at Mrs. Ning: "Do you really want to send Ning Xiu to the canal?"
"Well, this is what Ping'er said. The conflict in the Hanlin Academy is too serious, and Xiu'er's simple temper is not suitable." Mrs. Ning actually hopes that Ning Xiu will stay in the capital.
But every time she saw Ning Xiu coming home with a tired face, Mrs. Ning became worried.
Wen Qingzhu sighed: "It's true that when the late Emperor was here, the Hanlin Academy was the most noble place. Unexpectedly, it is now the main battlefield for power and profit."
"That's why Ping'er is worried. Rather than staying in the capital like this and not learning anything, it's better to go to the canal and learn some practical things." Mrs. Ning knew that the canal was a big project, and she would get a lot of credit for doing it well.
Wen Qingzhu was hesitant. The problems on the other side of the canal were equally serious.
Staying in the capital, at least there is no danger of life.
When we went to the canal, maybe something happened one day and a body would be brought back.
Seeing her hesitation, Mrs. Ning simply asked: "Please help me, Miss."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and asked, "Did Ning Ping say anything else?"
"He said this matter is risky, but we can afford this risk. I hope Miss Wen can help." Mrs. Ning had no choice but to repeat Ning Ping's words.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
As soon as Mrs. Ning left, she immediately sent a letter to Wei Feng and told him what Yun Xian said.
Soon, Wei Feng replied.
He knew about Qiaoyu. As for going to the canal, he told Wen Qingzhu not to worry.
Wei Lin was also going this time, and he originally wanted to take Ning Xiu with him.
He is really not suitable for intrigue.
