When the prison car arrived, Wei Yang bowed and reported: "Princess, this person is the assassin who shot that arrow from the tower."
Wen Qingzhu nodded, walked to the prison car, and looked at him carefully.
Seeing his ridiculously big hands, Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes: "Are you the one who assassinated Princess Yijia earlier?"
The people in the prison car glanced over: "Since the princess knows, why bother to ask more questions? It's up to you whether you want to kill or behead me!"
These words are in Xiongnu dialect, and no one else except Wen Qingzhu can understand them.
Obviously, this person also knew that she could understand.
Wen Qingzhu laughed and answered him in Central Plains dialect: "I won't kill you now. There are not many sharp archers like you in the world. It would be best to exchange you for the person I want."
"Huh!" This person didn't care at all.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed and he called out his name softly: "Qi Mo Che."
As soon as these words came out, the man's expression suddenly changed and he stared at Wen Qingzhu in disbelief.
Wen Qingzhu looked up in the direction of the Xiongnu and said: "I not only know your name, but also your origin. As the expelled young master of the White Wolf tribe, you were born with supernatural powers and excellent eyesight, but you fell in love with a woman from the Western Regions. The woman who was expelled happened to be Graceful, the concubine of the King of the Huns.”
When he turned around again, Qi Moche's face was filled with blue veins. He stared at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Do you know where Graceful is? Where is she!"
"Does it matter where you are? You can't protect yourself now. If King Zuo Xian hadn't secretly saved you, do you think you would be here today?"
Qi Moche didn't care what she said, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and began to become helpless and furious.
Wen Qingzhu stopped caring about him and asked Wei Yang, "General Wei, how are Wei Yu and Lu Lei doing?"
"The two of them were seriously injured and are currently recuperating at home. Fan Yu and Master Fan are inside the city, and General Lu is outside the city. There is basically no problem."
"That's good." Wen Qingzhu felt relieved, and then asked, "Have all the assassins been caught?"
Wei Yang shook his head solemnly: "No, several of them escaped. General Lu said that we should not pursue the poor criminals. The most important thing is to follow the princess's instructions and catch this."
Although he had expected it, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when Wei Yang said this.
Are the Huns already so powerful
She planned so hard and put on such a big show, but she failed to catch all the spies!
It's a cool night, under the corridor of Huaqing Palace.
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the railing, looking up at the moon in the sky.
The weather is very good tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is a gentle breeze blowing with a hint of heat.
"Sister." Wen Mingxuan walked up the steps and walked towards Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu looked away, looked at the visitor and asked, "Why don't you have a good rest? You have been tired for a long day."
Wen Mingxuan smiled and shook his head: "Sister, I am the most tired person. You are not tired, so why should I be tired?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then looked up at the moon together and started chatting.
"Sister, do you really miss your brother-in-law?"
"One thing, I wonder how he is doing over there?"
"If Mr. Xin comes over, it will definitely be fine."
"This is not necessarily true. With Lu Ce here, Xin Zhong is no match. I sent Xin Zhong there just to put pressure on the Xiongnu and give Fu Lie a chance to breathe."
Wen Mingxuan looked sideways: "Is Master Xin really that powerful?"
"Yes, Xin Zhong once stayed in Dingyuan for a period of time. There once was a eldest prince of the Huns who was extremely brave and good at fighting. He severely damaged the Lu family army. Lu Chuan's two brothers and brother-in-law both died at that time. Later, Xin Zhong passed away , on the one hand, Lu Ce was strategizing behind the scenes, on the other hand, Xin Zhong was unparalleled in bravery and directly killed the Xiongnu prince, thus restoring the morale of the Lu family army, and the Xiongnu also continued to fight among themselves."
"Master Xin is so powerful!" Wen Mingxuan's face was full of admiration.
Wen Qingzhu tilted his head, looked at him with a smile and said, "It's very powerful. The most important thing is that for Xin Zhong's sake, Lu Ce may not do it too harshly."
"No, Mr. Lu is really treasonous?" Wen Mingxuan asked his question.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a long time before saying: "No, but Da Qi must have people he wants to get rid of, otherwise he would not go to the Huns. Obviously, it is an excellent opportunity for him to go to the Huns now."
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Ah Lai came over.
Wen Mingxuan slapped his forehead and said, "Sister, Princess Dejia wants to see you."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Wen Qingzhu slapped Wen Mingxuan on the arm, which actually made her hand numb.
This made Wen Qingzhu even angrier, so he turned around and left.
Wen Mingxuan followed her out of Huaqing Palace, apologizing constantly: "Sister, I really didn't mean it. If you get really angry in the future, don't hit me with your hands. Find something to hit me with."
"Go, go, go!" Wen Qingzhu waved his hands in disgust and turned around to get on the sedan chair.
Arriving at Fengyang Pavilion, Wen Qingzhu walked in quickly.
But seeing Wei Yang sitting in the room, Wen Qingzhu immediately slowed down and said, "General Wei."
"The princess is here, Na Chen will leave first. Dejia has fetal pressure, please look after the princess." After Wei Yang finished speaking, he turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Wen Qingzhu quickly walked over to Jiang Dejia and sat down.
I took her pulse and listened, it was a little unstable.
Fortunately, Wen Qingzhu turned around and told the palace attendants to go to Tai Hospital to prepare the medicine.
After he was done, he turned back and asked Jiang Dejia: "Why did the fetus move? Not to mention what we said before, if there is anything for Ning Xiu to do after leaving the palace, you can just take charge from behind?"
Jiang Dejia smiled: "It's okay. Ning Xiu did a good job, but he was inexperienced and something went wrong. I just stepped in. Fortunately, my uncle arrived in time and there was no big problem."
"Originally, you shouldn't be asked to help with Qiniang's affairs, but I don't trust many people, so I can only let you take risks. I'm sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry for. Counting the county prince and his wife, they are also my brother and sister-in-law. It is not an exaggeration to help them this time. Besides, Qiniang is Lei Shuo's sister. She and Lei Yan can fight for the emperor to enter the palace. I can help Qiniang." It should be."
Wen Qingzhu felt relieved when he saw that Jiang Dejia was fine.
But she asked again: "What do you want from me?"
Jiang Dejia nodded: "The princess was well hidden, but her whereabouts were leaked, and she was caught by the assassin. Later, Pei Zhixuan appeared and deceived the assassin with a letter. That's when I rescued Qiniang and her son. Pei Zhixuan was a little strange. , how did she know that something would happen to Qiniang and her son, and how could she come in such a timely manner?"
"Did Pei Zhixuan save them?" Wen Qingzhu began to think deeply, why was Pei Zhixuan involved in this matter
Jiang Dejia asked someone to get the previous letter, handed it to Wen Qingzhu and said, "Look at this, this paper is only in the palace, which means someone in the palace leaked the news. Could it be Pei Dongli? "
Wen Qingzhu looked at the letter carefully and rubbed the paper gently with his fingers.
It is indeed an imperial tribute.
She raised her eyes and denied Jiang Dejia's guess: "It can't be Pei Dongli. She is under my strict supervision now. To be on the safe side, I let her sleep for three days and won't wake up until tomorrow."
"Who could that be? There is no one else in the palace now." Jiang Dejia felt increasingly strange.
Wen Qingzhu began to think about what happened during the day.
The successive assassinations can be said to be interlocking, from the subordinate behind Taichang Temple Minister for the first time to the hidden arrow on the tower of Xuanwu Gate.
After two waves failed, the corpse-eating bugs came back to the house again. Fortunately, Dr. Gan and the others developed a medicine to kill the corpse-eating bugs in time.
Later, when he returned to Qianyuan Palace, he pretended to be Dr. Gan and first poisoned the dead man's wound, and then when someone exposed him, he stabbed the dead man's heart cleanly.
In the end, even Xiao Fangzi was replaced. This step must be done by someone who is very familiar with the palace.
People like Jiu Zhu have been eliminated. Who else can secretly help those spies
The most important thing is that this person also sent news outside the palace.
While he was thinking about it, someone came in from outside to report that it was Bai Di who wanted to see him.
Wen Qingzhu stood up suddenly, and Bai Di was quickly led in.
He started by saying, "Princess, my aunt is the only spy!"
"How could Aunt Wei be a spy? If she wanted to do something, wouldn't she have done it long ago? What's more, she is an old man who has stayed in the palace for more than 20 years and is one of the maids of Queen Zheng!"
Bai Di took out a letter and handed it to Wen Qingzhu: "Princess, please read this. This is the message that Aunt Wei planned to send tonight. The slave intercepted it. When she caught her, she almost bit her tongue and committed suicide. But the slave She has been controlled and is currently being guarded at Sigongtai."
When Wen Qingzhu looked at the envelope, he saw that the handwriting on it was almost the same as what Jiang Dejia had given her just now.
Wen Qingzhu remained silent this time, and the evidence was already obvious.
She put away the envelope: "You go ahead and do your work first, and then I'll talk about it later."
"Yes." Bai Di retreated.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and handed the letter from Bai Di to Jiang Dejia: "It's Aunt Wei."
"It's really her?" Jiang Dejia didn't quite believe it either.
Just taking the envelope and looking at it, she couldn't help but not believe it.
The two were silent for a long time. The palace had been purged several times, but Auntie had never had any problems.
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu suddenly stood up, as if she had thought of something.
Wei Gugu is the queen's descendant, but she has been dormant in the palace.
She had not taken action many times before, but this time she took action when the Huns assassinated him!
It seemed very hasty, sending a message to the outside world at this time, as if it was intentional.
Wen Qingzhu said goodbye to Jiang Dejia and immediately rushed to Sigongtai.
Meet Aunt Wei alone.
The room was very dark, with only one light. Only my aunt was tied up and lying on her side on the ground.
Before coming in, she was given anesthesia and had little strength, but she could speak.
Wen Qingzhu looked down at her and said, "You are Yun Wan's person."
Aunt Wei's eyes suddenly trembled, she kept shaking her head, her whole body was shaking, and tears slowly overflowed from her eyes.
Until she started babbling and crying, her sadness and self-blame didn't seem like hypocrisy.
When Aunt Wei slowly calmed down, Wen Qingzhu said: "Yun Wan was locked in a dark cell by me and could not easily see anyone else, so there are people from Yun Wan outside the palace, right? Who is she? Why did she ask you to help the Huns? people?"
Aunt Wei choked with sobs for a long time, opened and shut her mouth for a long time, and finally said slowly: "It's Concubine Lan, she is still alive, her face is disfigured, and her voice has changed. She has been staying in the palace to secretly help Concubine Wan, and later Concubine Wan was caught by the princess, and she escaped from the palace. By the way, she is the girl in black gauze that the princess was looking for earlier."
"It's her!" Wen Qingzhu tightened his hands on the table.
That girl in black gauze turned out to be Wen Qinglan!
She's not dead yet!
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingzhu stood up suddenly. She understood!
Wen Qinglan is doing it for her daughter!
After leaving the palace, Wen Qingzhu ordered Bai Di: "The next investigation and punishment are all up to you! As long as you manage the palace flawlessly, I can not only help you get rid of your slave status, but also make you the number one in Daqi." A female court official!"
Bai Di opened his eyes wide instantly, took a deep breath, and kept adjusting himself.
Finally, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and replied: "I will definitely live up to the princess's expectations!"
"From today on, you don't need to call yourself a slave. When the palace matters are finished and Eunuch Fang retires, you will be Lord Bai."
Bai Di was excited. She never expected that Wen Qingzhu would give her such an honor at this time!
Da Qi’s first female court official!
