Coming out of the dormitory, Wen Qingzhu saw Concubine Wei and Concubine Li guarding the door.
"How is your Majesty?"
The two spoke almost at the same time. Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Dejia can wake up before the wedding."
Concubine Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Li had a complicated expression.
Without saying anything more to them, Wen Qingzhu nodded and left. Lu Tao followed her and said, "The Marquis has captured most of the royal guards, and a small number surrendered voluntarily. There is no omission."
"That's good, where is Concubine Wan?" Wen Qingzhu was still very wary. Concubine Wan was imprisoned, but she could actually instigate Jiang Yue's people.
Lu Tao quickened his pace to catch up: "His Highness is already interrogating, and Jasmine is following over there. There shouldn't be any big problem."
Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped, thinking of what Jiang Yuanhan had asked her in the dark cell.
This made her very worried, so she decided to go to Wanbi's place first.
But as soon as she left Qianyuan Palace, she saw Pei Zhixuan.
"lady."
Wen Qingzhu looked at her and knew that she was waiting for him.
After Jiang Yuanhan came in and came to the dark cell,
After a moment of silence, he thanked me and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Pei, for your help this time."
Pei Zhixuan pointed to an unoccupied place and said, "Can you please delay Madam for a while? I think it's better to tell you some things."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and followed her to the side.
"Madam, I have something to ask you for help." Pei Zhixuan's attitude was very low-key, which made Wen Qingzhu feel nervous.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the door of Qianyuan Palace, watching Pei Zhixuan walking forward. Fu Shiyi was waiting for her at the intersection.
The two of them met, and Fu Shiyi was talking to Pei Zhixuan in a low voice.
Lu Tao looked away and asked worriedly: "Is Miss Pei sincere?"
"I don't know, but one thing is definitely true." Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath.
She didn't know Pei Zhixuan before, but now she does.
Pei Zhixuan, a woman with an arrogant temperament, would probably look down on any other man except Su Huo.
It's just that Fu Shiyi joined Pei Yi's family, and he accompanied Pei Zhixuan into the palace this time. It seemed that Pei Yu valued him very much.
But Pei Zhixuan's request just now seemed to be a bit contrary to the sun.
"Then what should we do now?" Lu Tao felt that Pei Zhixuan should not be allowed to intervene this time.
Wen Qingzhu looked at her expression, smiled and comforted, "It doesn't matter, Pei Zhixuan's purpose does not conflict with ours, and I know what she wants, but..."
Jiang Yuanhan is not that easy to fool.
He turned around and went to Qingning Palace. Under the leadership of Wu Mian, he went all the way deep into the prison.
I don't know how long it took before they walked out of the long corridor.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu walked out, he saw a familiar figure. He quickly walked over and put his arm on her shoulder: "Jasmine? Why are you here? Where is Yuan Han?"
Jasmine pointed inside and said, "Your Highness wants to talk to Concubine Wan alone, so I don't dare to say anything more."
Wen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat and he walked quickly inside.
When they turned a corner, a familiar iron prison appeared in front of them. Wan Bin was standing inside and Jiang Yuanhan was standing outside.
Wan Bin was whispering something, with a slight smile on her brows and eyes.
Because he was carrying her sideways, Wen Qingzhu couldn't see clearly Jiang Yuanhan's figure.
But Wan Bin noticed Wen Qingzhu, the smile on her face spread, she looked over and said, "She's here."
Jiang Yuanhan turned around, his eyes a little dark.
This made Wen Qingzhu feel even more nervous, and he walked over quickly.
Before she could speak, Wan Bin said with a full smile: "Why don't you see Fu Lie coming?"
Wen Qingzhu's face turned cold: "What does this have to do with you!"
Facing Wen Qingzhu's hostility, Wanbi was not afraid at all. Instead, she turned to Jiang Yuanhan and said, "Xiaoba, I have said everything that needs to be said. As for how to decide, it is up to you."
These words made Wen Qingzhu's heart beat with fear. Just as he was about to reach out, he noticed Wan Bin staring at her from the corner of his eyes.
Wen Qingzhu could only take back his hand and whispered: "Can I talk to her first?"
Jiang Yuanhan nodded, turned around and walked out.
As soon as he left, Wen Qingzhu turned around, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold and solemn.
"Yun Wan, don't try to seduce him. I tell Jiang Yuancheng that he will definitely die in my hands!" Wen Qingzhu clenched his fists, all the old and new grudges welling up in his heart.
Wanbi's smile slowly faded. She had never doubted what Wen Qingzhu said.
This was the result of her falling down many times.
The concubine Wan in front of her was dressed in plain clothes. She was obviously an imprisoned concubine, but she still carried an air of power.
She said slowly: "Mrs. Fu, you are a member of the Fu family after all. My whole heart is with Fu Lie. Unless you are willing to give up Fu Lie, he and Fu Lie's pen pal will die."
"Ha!" Wen Qingzhu raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her with some amusement, "It seems that the wise Empress Wanbi is still one step behind others in the news."
Wanbi's expression remained unchanged, but she was a little unsure in her heart. She smiled slightly again: "If you are so confident, why do you need to talk to me alone?"
Wen Qingzhu's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he wished he could kill Wan Bin now.
But she knew that it was still far from possible.
If Jiang Yuancheng was sincere about anyone, it would be Yun Wan in front of him.
Thinking of this, an idea came to Wen Qingzhu's mind: "Jiang Yuancheng is indeed very capable, so I am wondering what kind of compromise he will make between the throne and his mother and concubine?"
These words successfully touched Yun Wan's pain point. Wen Qingzhu was none other than herself. She was the person who understood Jiang Yuancheng best besides herself.
The two of them stared at each other fiercely for a moment, and then Jasmine's voice came from outside: "Madam, Your Highness is leaving."
Wen Qingzhu glanced at Wan Bin, then looked around and said, "This place is a good place."
She gave Wan Bin a meaningful look before turning around and leaving.
Shortly after Wen Qingzhu left, Concubine Wan glanced sideways into the dark corner and said in a deep voice, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
…
On the night of the seventh day of February, Wen Qingzhu was in Qianyuan Palace, trying his best to treat Jiang Yue.
All matters outside were left to Fu Lie and Jiang Yuanhan.
At three o'clock in the morning, Hei Jiren personally carried a box to Qianyuan Palace and waited outside.
Wen Qingzhu took the last injection, and Jiang Yue's breathing finally became smoother.
She handed the things to Jasmine to pack, got up and walked out.
Hei Jiren's back bent further and further, and he placed the box on the table and said flatteringly: "Madam, I have asked all the questions that need to be asked. Now let me see the result."
He reached out and opened the lid, and there was a human head placed neatly inside.
It was none other than Ye Han.
His eyes were closed tightly, with a hint of fear on his face.
Luo Chan happened to come over for something. When he got to the door, his eyes suddenly fell on Ye Han's face.
Immediately, her whole body trembled and she could not stand firmly, but Fuqin quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the box, and Hei Jiren immediately understood, closed the box and carried it away.
When he came in front of Luo Chan, he bowed respectfully, but Luo Chan was so frightened that he stopped breathing.
After he left, Fuqin helped Luo Chan come in and sit down.
Wen Qingzhu waved for the palace servants to serve tea, but Luo Chan shook her head: "No, I just came to ask about His Majesty's condition? He... can he still wake up?"
"Of course, I promised Concubine Wei that the emperor would wake up tomorrow." Wen Qingzhu picked up the teacup and started using it slowly.
But Luo Chan next to him was so frightened that he said tremblingly: "Then what condition can your Majesty recover to?"
If she is sane and regains power, she must die without a burial place.
Wen Qingzhu put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam, the Emperor has other uses for me, and I won't let him say anything he shouldn't."
"Thank you, madam!" Luo Chan immediately stood up and knelt in front of Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu glanced briefly and said, "My queen, please stay here tonight. There are some things that only you can do."
Luo Chan slowly raised her head and looked into Wen Qingzhu's smiling but warm eyes, vaguely understanding what she wanted to do.
After resting for a while, a violent coughing sound came from inside.
Wen Qingzhu asked Fuqin to stay outside and took Luo Chan in.
Jiang Yue, who was lying on the bed, had woken up, but his condition was very bad. He was coughing violently, and neither Lu Tao nor Jasmine could hold it down.
Wen Qingzhu stood still, and Luo Chan appeared shortly after.
The moment Jiang Yue saw Luo Chan, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes were full of resentment and murderous intent.
Unfortunately, this only made his condition worse and worse, causing him to cough like a sieve.
Wen Qingzhu took out a silver needle and stuck it in. Only then did Jiang Yue calm down.
She asked Jiang Yue quietly: "Your Majesty, did Lu Tai have to die in the previous life?"
These words made Jiang Yue's eyes widen instantly, his expression frightened and shocked.
After a while, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
When Wen Qingzhu saw his reaction, he knew it in his heart.
After closing her eyes, she said expressionlessly: "Give him some medicine, and I'll ask him personally."
But this time Lu Tao was a little hesitant: "Miss, this medicine is very powerful, if your Majesty can't bear it..."
"It's okay, I will let him live. As for how to live, that is another matter."
Wen Qingzhu's voice was cold. Although Lu Tao hesitated, she still obeyed Wen Qingzhu's instructions.
He took out the elixir and stretched out his hand to feed it to Jiang Yue.
The moment before Lu Tao closed Jiang Yue's mouth, Jasmine, who had never taken the initiative to say anything, suddenly said: "Madam! Do you really want to do this?"
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Jasmine, and when he thought of the environment she was in, he understood.
"When he answers my question, will you know what's going on?"
Jasmine clenched her palms tightly and nodded silently.
Lu Tao closed Jiang Yue's mouth and stepped aside.
After more than a quarter of an hour, the elixir was digested and absorbed, and Jiang Yue's face began to twist in pain.
After struggling and twisting for a while, he slowly calmed down.
Wen Qingzhu took off the silver needle and asked directly: "Why did you kill Lu Tai?"
"Because King Huan killed him." Jiang Yue's voice was weak but clear.
It fell on Wen Qingzhu's ear, like a critical blow, and his heart stopped suddenly.
Jasmine vaguely knew who Prince Huan was, but Luo Chan looked confused.
It wasn't until they saw Wen Qingzhu's tears falling that she continued to ask.
The questions were answered one by one, and Jasmine and Luo Chan were shocked when they heard them.
The things Jiang Yue described had never happened in Daqi where they lived.
"How did you die in your previous life?" Wen Qingzhu's voice had become calmer.
I heard Jiang Yue's voice getting lower and lower: "I went to Fengguo Temple to offer incense and pray for my father. On the way back to the capital, I was assassinated by the Crown Prince and King Huan's men."
"and after?"
"Later, I felt unwilling to accept it, and suddenly my wallet gave out a gleam of light. I went back to six years ago, when my father was still healthy, and I had to live my life again."
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes: "Who gave you the purse? What's in it?"
"It was given by Master Jiudeng. Inside... I, I don't know anything." Jiang Yue's voice began to break.
Finally, he fainted from exhaustion.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at Jasmine and Luo Chan: "I'll leave this place to your attention. Lu Tao and I will go to Fengguo Temple."
After leaving the palace, Wen Qingzhu rode overnight to Fengguo Temple.
On the streets, all the houses had their doors closed, and there were only patrols of the Forbidden Army coming and going.
No one dared to stop Wen Qingzhu, so they could only let him move forward.
