Three days before King Jing's funeral, the concierge came to report that it was Concubine Li who wanted to see her.
Wen Qingzhu, who was looking through various documents, looked up: "Who do you think is asking for a meeting?"
The servant reported respectfully: "It's Concubine Li from Prince Ning's Mansion. She said she didn't understand some things about the funeral, so she came to ask Madam."
After closing the things in front of him, Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and then went to the front hall.
As soon as he walked in, Li Qing greeted her enthusiastically: "I have met Madam Ping Guohou. I heard that Madam was frightened two days ago. It just so happened that His Highness Prince Ning gave me some fine bird's nests, specially sent to Madam to calm her shock. .”
When Wen Qingzhu saw Li Qing's cheerful expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he asked her to sit down.
Then he asked: "I accepted the bird's nest without ceremony, but how did you know that I was frightened?"
Concubine Li glanced around, Wen Qingzhu understood and asked all the servants to get out.
Li Qing, who no longer had any scruples, told the truth: "Sister Yijia told me that she is very worried about you, and she specially prepared this bird's nest for you."
"Then thank Princess Yijia for me." Wen Qingzhu felt that Jiang Yijia was probably worried that she would not be able to fulfill her promise.
Li Qing glanced at the door and made sure no one was there before whispering: "Madam, I actually have another purpose for coming today. Guanyue is Yunxian, and she wants to see you one last time."
"She's not dead yet?!" Wen Qingzhu was surprised this time. According to Prince Ning's character, he should have died on the street that day after the moon was closed.
Li Qing's face also showed a bit of resentment: "I don't know what's going on with Yijia! It would be great if His Highness killed her directly, but if Yijia insists on saying that, I can definitely learn a lot from that bitch's mouth Secret! Your Highness spared her life now, and now that I can’t ask anything else, I begged Your Highness to leave her to my disposal.”
"So after leaving it to you, she wanted to see me and you came?" Wen Qingzhu asked with a smile.
Li Qing's face was slightly embarrassed, but she still kept her attitude: "I don't want to get around that bitch easily. She said that you gave her this life, so I feel pity -"
"Concubine Li! Do you think I am someone who is easy to fool?" Wen Qingzhu interrupted her ruthlessly.
Li Qing started to get a little nervous, but she still frowned and said: "She has something I want to know, so I came here."
"What's up?"
Li Qing didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to be so direct and full of excuses.
Wen Qingzhu was a little impatient, so she stood up and left.
Li Qing suddenly remembered that Jiang Yijia once told her not to try to play tricks in front of Wen Qingzhu.
"Wait a minute! She said she has evidence that Concubine Wan conspired to murder Queen Zheng!"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu slowly turned his head and looked at Li Qing with deep eyes.
"What you said...is true?"
"It's absolutely true!" Li Qing now felt that it was not enough for her to sit in the position of the concubine.
If she can bring down Concubine Wan and the King of Chu in one fell swoop, then her mother, Yi Tianxia, is not—"
"Let's go!" Wen Qingzhu laughed.
In the dungeon of Prince Ning's Mansion.
In the dark light, humid environment, Yunxian was tied to a shelf with injuries all over her body.
Li Qing covered her nose in disgust and ordered her servants: "Pour water on her to wake her up!"
A bucket of water poured down her head, and Yunxian woke up with a start, and was instantly overwhelmed by the pain all over her body.
She moaned lowly, and it felt as if her bones were about to fall apart if she moved.
"Say it." Wen Qingzhu remained motionless, not even looking at Yun Xian.
Hearing Wen Qingzhu's voice, Yun Xian suddenly raised her head, stared into Wen Qingzhu's eyes and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"What do you think?" Wen Qingzhu laughed.
When Yun Xian was about to speak, Wen Qingzhu said first, "I know what you want to say, but I don't think His Highness Prince Ning is a fool."
Yunxian suddenly looked at Li Qing and sneered sadly: "Do you think Li Qing will help you? You're dreaming! It's easy for me to deal with her, let alone Wen Qinglan!"
"You!" Li Qing didn't expect that Yunxian was still belittling her at this time, and she suddenly became angry.
But Wen Qingzhu held her down: "Concubine Li, don't get excited. I know she must have said something to you, but think about it, she will die no matter what. What if she is sowing discord?"
Li Qing calmed down. One thing Wen Qingzhu was right about was that Yunxian would die no matter what.
After letting go of her hand, Wen Qingzhu walked up to Yun Xian. She knew very well that Prince Ning must be secretly observing her somewhere.
After all, Guanyue was trained by her and sent to Prince Ning's Mansion.
Now Yunxian has betrayed her and chosen Jiang Yuancheng.
At this time, she had no choice but to use her last ability to realize her final value.
Standing in front of Yunxian, Wen Qingzhu gently raised her chin. Her face was covered with scars, and her original beauty could no longer be seen.
Wen Qingzhu knew that this was done by Li Qing.
After all, Yunxian used this face to confuse Jiang Yuanan.
"I came to see you, and I just want to ask you one question, and that is how did Jiang Yuancheng convince you?"
Yun Xian looked at Wen Qingzhu and suddenly burst into laughter. At the end, she winked and said, "Come here and I'll tell you quietly."
"That's not necessary." Wen Qingzhu let go of his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw away the handkerchief after using it.
She turned her head, looked around, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning, I know you are here. The reason why I dare to come here is because you must know the reason. I have a suggestion. I don't know if Your Highness has it." Want to meet?"
No one answered, and Wen Qingzhu continued: "Empress Zheng's death is not that simple. I know that Concubine Li is also involved. In this case, why not cooperate with us? After all, King Chu has begun to get involved in the military power."
Finally, at the corner in front, Jiang Yuanan came out.
Li Qing was so frightened that she immediately stood up and saluted him in a panic.
After Jiang Yuanan came over, he looked sideways at Li Qing: "Go down, I have something to discuss with Mrs. Fu."
"Yes." Li Qing retreated tremblingly.
When leaving, she couldn't help but look back, and happened to see Prince Ning move the chair for Wen Qingzhu.
More than half an hour later, when Wen Qingzhu was leaving Prince Ning's Mansion, he was stopped by Li Qing.
"What did you say to His Highness?" Li Qing's tone was aggressive, but her trembling hands betrayed her.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and slowly pressed Li Qing's hand down: "Concubine Li, don't worry, Princess Ning's position will definitely be yours before long."
"This is different from what we said before!" Li Qing felt that things were beginning to go beyond her expectations.
Wen Qingzhu asked, "Did Concubine Li do what we promised before?"
Only then did Li Qing belatedly remember that at the beginning, she had promised Wen Qingzhu to kill Yunxian immediately before the incident happened.
"That's because Yijia convinced His Highness!" Li Qing found an excuse.
Wen Qingzhu's lips curled up: "Didn't you forget to take action and Yi Jia had to step in?"
Li Qing had nothing to say. Only then did she remember that she was so excited at the time that she ignored the agreed thing.
But now she found out that Guan Yue was Wen Qingzhu's man, and she helped His Highness once.
"That, that was just a mistake on my part!" Li Qing felt that without Guanyue, Prince Ning's Mansion would be within her control.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the confidence in Li Qing's eyes, thought again of what Prince Ning had just said, and felt sad for Li Qing from the bottom of his heart.
She didn't say anything else, and temporarily used her military power to capture Prince Ning, so the next thing would be easier to handle.
When he returned to the gate of Pingguo Hou Mansion, Wen Qingzhu met Su Huo who was coming.
"Are you going out?" Su Huo looked outside and found that no one was following her. She couldn't help but worry, "Now there is no news about Jiang Ziang and the Long Zhi you mentioned. How dare you go out like this?" ?”
Wen Qingzhu didn't care at all and waved him in: "Don't worry, someone is protecting you secretly. Otherwise, the guards of Jining Palace will not be useless."
After walking a few steps, Su Huo suddenly stopped: "Why are you going to Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to stop and explain: "Guanyue is dead, I'm going to see her off."
"Huh?" Su Huo couldn't understand Wen Qingzhu more and more.
After sitting down in the room, Wen Qingzhu thought that Su Huo would need help later, so he directly revealed Guan Yue's identity.
"How dare you place an undercover agent in Prince Ning's Mansion! Even if you do, you still use people from the Yun family! You..." Su Huo pointed at Wen Qingzhu and really didn't know what to say to her.
Wen Qingzhu also had some regrets, and reflected while drinking tea: "I was still too confident. I thought that if Luo Chan succeeded, Yun Xian would also succeed, so I was relieved. I didn't expect that Yun Xian had such deep feelings for Jiang Yuancheng that she would betray him." You killed me, you made a mistake!"
After drinking half a cup of tea, Wen Qingzhu suddenly realized that he didn't hear Su Huo speak.
She then raised her head and saw Su Huo's wide-open eyes, staring straight at her, as if she had seen something incredible.
"Why are you looking at me?" Wen Qingzhu showed an innocent expression.
Su Huo breathed a long sigh of relief, but he was still a little unresponsive.
He turned around and sat down, reached for the tea cup, but took out an empty cup, and murmured to himself: "I should have known! How could it be just a coincidence that Luo Fei met Li Du and was so cooperative in going to the palace to testify. "
After drinking from the cup without any tea, Su Huo slowly picked up the cup and said, "You still have people stationed there?"
"No, it's really gone!" Wen Qingzhu smiled helplessly.
I wanted to say Linlang, but Linlang was not hers either.
The reason why the emperor takes such good care of her now is just because he knows Linlang's true identity.
Speaking of which, there has been no movement from the Shenxing Division.
Is it because the emperor doesn't intend to rehabilitate the eldest son's family
"The Long Zhi you mentioned, news came from Cangzhou. There is indeed a man named Long Zhi in the Wu Clan, and he is indeed the next generation of Witch King. But he is still in Cangzhou and has been staying in the Wu Clan territory. Didn’t leave.”
After Su Huo finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "Impossible, the person who looks so similar to Long Ye can't be someone else."
"The Wu Clan's issues were settled more than a hundred years ago and are now stable. How can you suspect that the Wu Clan's people have different intentions?" Su Huo didn't quite understand.
There were some things that Wen Qingzhu couldn't tell him all.
He could only say vaguely: "It's not a question of whether there is any alienation, but the witchcraft has never stopped in the capital. Don't you think this is strange?"
"You mean someone from the Wu clan is in the capital?" Su Huo asked after thinking for a moment.
Wen Qingzhu disagreed with this statement: "You should say that someone from the capital has infiltrated the Wu clan. Cangzhou has been peaceful for so many years. Why did witches suddenly appear in the capital before Empress Zheng's accident? Don't forget that Jiang Yuansheng Why can’t I have a baby?”
Su Huo was shocked when he heard this. If he said that, the people from the Wu clan had been lurking in the capital, waiting for some kind of order.
At night, Fu Lie did not come back.
It is said that the Xianbei barbarians are harassing you again.
Wen Qingzhu touched his belly. It was already two months old, so Wen Qinglan's belly should be almost three months old.
If Wen Qinglan wants to take action, it should be in the next few days.
