"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to watch you die." The man's smile gradually widened.
Suddenly, a man with his face covered came in from behind and said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhui Dian, what are you doing? Lure Jiang Yuanhan in immediately!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at this man and had a bad feeling in his heart.
As expected, the masked man turned around and glanced at Wen Qingzhu, then at Wen Yufeng and Jiang Yuanan.
"Why are you so fast? Why didn't you knock her out?"
Prince Ning felt that the situation was going to be bad, so he thought: "If she faints, I won't be able to come in now! The king you mentioned is already here! It's time to let Wei Niang go!"
The masked man was interrupted by him and immediately frowned: "Does Prince Ning want to burn down the bridge?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Yuanan did not answer directly, but took a look at Du Weiniang.
The masked man sneered: "Is it possible that at this time, Prince Ning doesn't want Du Weiniang to be safe and sound?"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Jiang Yuanan's face: "Isn't the throne more important than a woman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Ning's soldiers immediately appeared and surrounded the place.
Wen Yufeng held Wen Qingzhu hostage, turned his head to look at Jiang Yuanan beside him, and found that his hands behind his back were a little uneasy.
But he soon understood what Jiang Yuanan wanted to do.
The masked Lian's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Wen Yufeng: "Wen Alliance Leader!"
Wen Yufeng immediately smiled and said: "What the fifth prince can do, Prince Ning can also do."
"You!" The masked man was shaking with anger and waved his hands fiercely, "How dare you betray His Highness!"
Wen Qingzhu remained silent and did not interrupt.
Jiang Yuanan turned out to be smarter this time.
The masked man felt something was wrong, and Jiang Yuanan immediately said: "Come here, escort Wen Qingzhu out, and lure Jiang Yuanhan in! When I succeed, you will all have the merit of following the dragon!"
Several people immediately followed the order and went out. The masked man became anxious and turned around with his sword to order Zhui Dian to wake up Du Weiniang.
Jiang Yuanan became more and more confident: "I am indeed not as good as him in strategy, but you have planned for me to this point. Next, as long as you kill the prince and kidnap your father, I will be the next emperor!"
"The prince's people are not that easy to deal with!" The masked man suddenly became anxious and blurted out.
This time, Du Weiniang was mainly used to contain King Ning. He himself did not bring many troops.
Jiang Yuanan raised his head and laughed: "Weren't you still asking why I came so quickly? It's because the prince let us in directly for Wen Qingzhu. My people didn't lose a single soldier. Now there are still people outside the city. My troops are waiting at any time, do you really think Wang Mo has defected to you? Who dares to take away my gold mine without my permission!"
"You-" The masked man was completely panicked. If this matter goes wrong, His Highness will probably have an even more difficult time.
Not long after, Du Weiniang woke up, Zhui Dian pinched her neck and threatened Jiang Yuanan: "Your Highness Prince Ning! Do you really don't care about this woman?"
Jiang Yuan'an's head jumped, but he was still able to hold his own. He frowned and said, "Weiniang, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, my second brother has done enough for me." Du Weiniang didn't care, but had a look of relief on her face.
Zhui Dian immediately tightened his grip, and Du Weiniang's breathing became rapid.
Jiang Yuanan just looked at it, his heart felt like a knife. Just when he was about to lose it, news came from outside: "The prince is here!"
The hand chasing the electricity subconsciously relaxed, and Du Weiniang gasped proudly.
Wen Qingzhu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he came at a good time.
Otherwise, Jiang Yuanan might not be able to bear it anymore.
"Sister!" Jiang Yuanhan's face immediately relaxed when he saw Wen Qingzhu.
When Wen Qingzhu saw him coming, he naturally put on a show and immediately yelled: "Why are you here? If you join forces with Fu Lie, you still have a chance to make a comeback!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people escorted Fu Lie in.
Wen Qingzhu choked for a moment, what was Fu Lie doing
The masked man subconsciously took a step back, but he soon figured it out.
Even the prince can come in for Wen Qingzhu, so Fu Lie can do it even more.
Jiang Yuanan was also confused when he saw Fu Lie coming in.
He glanced at Wen Qingzhu subconsciously. Why was there something unexpected
Wen Yufeng immediately thought of an idea: "Your Highness Prince Ning, why not kill Fu Lie first?"
Jiang Yuanan's forehead twitched, killed Fu Lie? How to kill Fu Lie
Who can kill Fu Lie! ! !
Fu Lie raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuanan: "As long as you let Qingqing go, you can kill me on the spot."
Jiang Yuanan quickly understood such an obvious hint.
Immediately ordered: "Bring him forward! Behead him in front of him!"
The soldiers escorted Fu Lie to the front. The masked man subconsciously felt something was wrong and was about to order Zhui Dian to drag Du Weiniang to retreat.
But he didn't want Fu Lie and Wen Yufeng to attack at the same time.
Fu Lie broke away from Prince Ning's men in an instant and launched his killing move directly at the masked man.
Wen Yufeng fell behind Zhui Dian in an instant, and when his finger fell, Zhui Dian was immediately frozen.
The masked man retreated repeatedly, and finally decided to retreat with all his strength and no longer care about Zhui Dian's affairs.
Fu Lie gave a symbolic chase and then turned around.
Jiang Yuanan was supporting Du Weiniang, while Wen Qingzhu was holding her wrist, frowning and saying: "The situation is not good, we need acupuncture immediately!"
Jiang Yuanan immediately picked up Du Weiniang, but he didn't want Wu Mian outside to come in and report: "Prince, Concubine Li has been caught!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanan was immediately startled.
Wen Qingzhu immediately asked Fu Lie to come over to help, took Du Weiniang from Jiang Yuanan's hand, and said to him: "Go quickly! Wei Yu should be over there too!"
Jiang Yuanan nodded and left here immediately.
But he didn't want to go out and find that all of his people were being guarded by Fu Jiajun, and they didn't seem to have much ability to resist.
At this point, Jiang Yuanan's thoughts about fighting for the throne were completely gone.
In the side hall, Wen Qingzhu had just finished acupuncture. When Du Weiniang's condition came down, someone came outside to report.
It is said that Concubine Li died of a heart attack while being held hostage. King Ning killed all the assassins and some of the palace servants in Chengming Palace.
After Wen Qingzhu listened, he didn't know what to say.
Concubine Li still couldn't survive it.
But she felt a little strange. They had sent three times the number of people there and had eliminated several batches of undercover agents before. Why was Concubine Li still being held hostage
"I... I'll go take a look." Du Weiniang heard these words just after she woke up and struggled to do it.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and pressed her down: "You can't move! It's difficult to remove the remaining poison in your body. I'll go over and take a look."
"Madam, let me go! The second brother lost his sister first, and now his mother is gone. He has nothing to lose."
Du Weiniang grabbed Wen Qingzhu's sleeve, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Yuanhan at the door suddenly said: "Take her there. Concubine Li's death also needs to be investigated carefully."
Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
A quarter of an hour later, the group of them arrived at Chengming Palace.
In the middle of the yard, Jiang Yuanan was holding Concubine Li's body and shaking, his head lowered so that no one could see his expression clearly.
Du Weiniang was carried on her back, and she knelt down in front of Jiang Yuanan, crying and shouting: "I'm sorry, second brother, it's all my fault."
Jiang Yuanan raised his head and saw Du Weiniang's tears. He wanted to speak, but couldn't say a word.
Finally, she leaned on Du Weiniang's shoulder.
After a while, Hei Jiren hurried over, glanced at the courtyard, and asked cautiously: "What are your orders, madam?"
"Take the people from the Shenxing Department to torture the remaining palace residents of Chengming Palace. Especially those who died, ask them one by one what they have done these days and who they have come into contact with."
Hei Jiren understood, bowed and replied: "Yes."
Wen Qingzhu walked up to Jiang Yuanan. Although it was very untimely, she still said: "Prince Ning, Concubine Li was murdered. I need to check her body."
Jiang Yuanan raised his head, his eyes full of murderous intent.
He didn't know how long he watched, but he finally stood up and brought in Concubine Li's body.
Wen Qingzhu inspected carefully and finally found a clue.
"Come here! Come to Master Xue Valley."
After waiting for a while, Xue Guang rushed over.
Wen Qingzhu expressed his doubts: "Grandpa, what herbal medicine can instantly cause heart disease?"
It was really because Concubine Li's heart disease appeared too suddenly.
She has read the reports from Tai Hospital these days, and Concubine Li's condition is getting better and better.
Especially in the past three days, there has been basically no recurrence of heart disease.
According to what Wei Yu told her just now, even if Concubine Li was held hostage, she was actually very calm and did not have any panic.
But during the confrontation, Concubine Li suddenly lost her breath, and she died without having time to save her.
Xue Guang thought about it and mentioned several herbal medicines, but he added: "Although it is sudden, heart disease is a very complex symptom, and it can also be chronic. The medicine has stayed in the body for enough time and been absorbed by the body. This That’s what causes heart disease.”
"Thank you, grandpa." Wen Qingzhu understood and ordered someone to escort Xue Guang away.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Gan and Hei Jiren came over together.
Two pieces of information were given one after the other.
Because Concubine Li was in good condition, Dr. Gan reduced the dosage of the medicine.
The nanny who serves Concubine Li has been visiting Qianyuan Palace frequently recently and has close contacts with Changsun Shanggong.
"Eldest grandson Linlang?" Wen Qingzhu frowned. She did not need to deal with Concubine Li.
When Dr. Gan heard this, he couldn't help but explain: "Recently, Changsun Shanggong has not only interacted with the stewards of Chengming Palace, but also met with the stewards of various palaces one after another. Because there are fewer mistresses in the harem, some idle manpower needs to be replaced. As for the deployment, Sigongtai has been conducting strict inspections recently and is very busy, so Changsun Shanggong is temporarily in charge of this matter."
Wen Qingzhu looked at Imperial Physician Gan with great interest: "I didn't know that Imperial Physician Gan has such a good relationship with Changsun Shanggong? You know everything about him."
Dr. Gan quickly lowered his head and said, "Wei Chen has been running to Qianyuan Palace recently, so that's why I found out."
Wen Qingzhu didn't embarrass him and waved her down.
He turned around and sent people to deal with the matter in Chengming Palace, and found Jiang Yuanhan.
"There is something wrong with Concubine Li's death. I think we need to investigate the entire palace."
Jiang Yuanhan nodded: "I think so too. I even wonder if Concubine Wan is causing trouble?"
"Isn't she locked up?" Wen Qingzhu was slightly shocked, why did Jiang Yuanhan mention this.
Jiang Yuanhan hesitated and said: "Zhao'er said earlier that something would happen to you, and then..."
"Implicated you?" Wen Qingzhu said it for him, and his heart sank.
