auspicious time has come

Chapter 200 Handing the Knife

"The general was taken to Dali Temple for interrogation." Wang Jingyong's tone was filled with uneasiness and anxiety: "Someone killed King Hedong and planted this crime on the general's head!"

"What?!" Yan Ming was shocked and frowned tightly.

After all, these open swords and hidden arrows are all aimed at the general...

"The non-existent treasure map has been handed in a long time ago, and his innocence has been proved!" Wang Jingyong clenched his fists, his eyes were reddish due to excessive anger, and said: "If you want to set up some shit defense envoy, the general also agreed! Looking back, they still want to put the general to death!"

"Be careful!"

Yin Hai strode in from the outside. Hearing Wang Jingyong's words, he walked into the hall and lowered his voice to remind seriously: "At this time, there are officials and military guards everywhere, so many eyes and ears are staring at you, why don't you Don't you think the general has caused enough trouble?"

Wang Jingyong's eyes trembled when he heard the words, and his fists with bulging veins clenched tighter.

"I know you are worried about the general, but at this time, the more you can't be chaotic." Yin Hai swept the officials in the front yard without any trace, and said: "Otherwise, you will give yourself the blame."

"Suddenly such a thing happened, Madam was frightened and passed out." Yin Hai slightly raised his voice and said, "I also ask Doctor Yan to follow me to see and treat Madam—"

Yan Ming understood, and immediately responded positively.

This is not a convenient place to talk.

Seeing the two walking out of the front hall quickly, Wang Jingyong immediately followed.

It is false that Madam Xiao is unconscious, but it is true that she is frightened.

She was walking back and forth in the hall anxiously, when she saw Yin Hai and the others coming in, she immediately asked, "How is the situation!"

Of course, she didn't just hear the news. The reason why she didn't go to the front yard again was because she tried her best to calm herself down—this matter was too strange, and she must not add to the chaos at this time, so that people could take advantage of it!
After hearing Yin Hai's general explanation of the current situation, Mrs. Xiao's heart sank, and she asked, "Do you want to send a message back to the Northland quickly?"

Always plan for the worst!

Yin Hai immediately said: "Don't worry, ma'am, the subordinate has just sent out the news in secret. There are cronies arranged by the general along the way to stand by at any time. The secret letter can be delivered to Army Division Yan within six days at the latest."

As for how to deal with the arrangements after receiving the secret letter, Army Division Yan and Mr. Su have their own regulations—these were all discussed in detail before the general left Yingzhou.

"Six days..." Mrs. Xiao was still uneasy: "Is it too late?"

Yan Ming subconsciously said: "According to common sense, the murder of a prince is involved, and the general's status is here, so it is impossible to close this case hastily..."

But this is just common sense, in case...

"Send another letter!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly said.

Yin Hai asked: "Who does Madam want to send the letter to?"

"Send it to..." Mrs. Xiao said in a hurry, but suddenly stopped, and said to herself: "No, it's not right..."

As Jing Shi said, the eldest princess Yongyang has helped him a lot, and he doesn't want to involve the eldest princess in the future...

Of course, as a mother, she must be selfish... At such a critical moment, as long as she can save her son, she will try anything!
But this should not be impulsive...

"No, there is no need to send a letter." Madam Xiao settled down, and she said calmly: "This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone must have known about it... If you send a letter rashly, if you are accidentally discovered, it will actually hurt you." If others harm themselves, they will cause more trouble."

Although Yin Hai didn't understand who she was referring to, he nodded in agreement.

This is the truth at the moment.

The news had already spread, and it would be superfluous to rush to anyone at this time.

"Remember, don't go to Ah Heng!" Mrs. Xiao specifically confessed: "The Ji family must not be involved—"

Everyone should go down.

Yin Hai sighed softly in his heart.

Naturally, they shouldn't and won't look for Painter Ji, but even so, will Painter Ji really stay out of it?
The rain was torrential.

At noon, the Crown Princess asked the envoy to go to the school to pass the message, and invited Heng Yu and Princess Jiayi to go to her palace for lunch.

Hengyu seems to be doing everything as usual, but in fact he doesn't know what to eat.

The Crown Princess did this to appease her.Last night, the King of Hedong first tried to do something wrong in the palace, and then he was stabbed to death suddenly——

Fearing that Hengyu would be frightened and overthinking, the concubine had a private conversation with Hengyu after the meal: "...my Highness and I have already arranged what happened last night, and we will never spread it. As for the matter of King Hedong, I have Dali Temple to investigate in detail."

Hengyu understood what she meant.

The Crown Princess was afraid that she would feel that the death of King Hedong would be suspected to be related to the slighting of her last night——

While afraid that she would think too much, at the same time, she has completely concealed what happened last night, and does not intend to leave any chance for outsiders to make a fuss.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Heng Yu thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

"You don't need to thank you, you caused all these troubles because you entered the palace to teach Jiayi, which is what I should do." The princess said: "Yi'er's schoolwork is not in a hurry, if you feel uneasy, You can also rest at home for a few days."

"Heng Yu can't be said to be frightened at all, and you have already arranged everything properly, so Heng Yu doesn't need to worry too much."

The princess nodded with a smile when she heard the words: "That's good. Jiayi is going to take a nap, Mrs. Ji might as well go and take a rest for a while."

"Yes." Heng Yu got up and saluted: "Heng Yu is retiring."

The princess then ordered someone to send her off.

After the palace servants sent Hengyu away, a female envoy came in with medicine.

Nanny Xiang took the medicine bowl and held it in front of the Crown Princess: "This is exactly the prescription that Mrs. Ji handed over before. After several medical officers checked it, they all said it is usable."

The princess nodded, took the medicine bowl, and drank the medicine along the side of the bowl.

The maid hurriedly handed him some tea for rinsing.

The Crown Princess rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and with a slightly bitter face, said with a helpless smile: "It's even bitterer than the ones I drank before."

"Sweetness comes from bitterness." Nanny Xiang coaxed with a smile, and handed over a plum.

……

The East Palace is next to the study hall of Princess Jiayi, and has set up a quiet hall for Heng Yudan to rest.

Accompanied by the female envoy, Heng Yu just returned to the vicinity of the study hall, when he saw a familiar figure in the vermilion corridor in front of him.

"Brother." She called aloud and walked over quickly.

After the maid sent the man to the corridor with an umbrella, she retreated to the pavilion to wait.

"I haven't been free today, so I'm able to come here now..." Ji Nanxian lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard about it?"

Hengyu nodded.

"Aheng, tell me the truth with your brother... Did Xiao Jie do what happened last night?" Ji Nanxian asked.

"It's definitely not him." Heng Yu said firmly.

"I also don't think it's possible... During the conversation that day, it can be seen that Xiao Jieshi doesn't seem like a person who can act on his own will." Ji Nanxian frowned and said: "But the Princess Hedong bit this matter to death...Saint Outraged by it, he was so angry that he even vomited blood, His Royal Highness only came back from the saint half an hour ago."

Heng Yu frowned tightly when she heard this, and her voice was so low that only the two of them could hear: "According to this, he can't be a saint..."

No wonder she was too suspicious, but this matter was strange, she couldn't help but wonder if it was arranged by the imperial court.

After all, a King of Hedong who acts absurdly is not considered precious to a saint...

"If he is not a saint, then someone is deliberately handing a knife to the saint..." Hengyu's eyes changed: "The saint has always been suspicious of Lord Hou, and I am afraid it will not be easy to get out of this silt. gone."

Ji Nanxian sighed complicatedly: "That's right, the sage was suspicious and prejudiced when he treated Xiao Jieshi first, and there were civil servants headed by Jiang Linggong in the court who heard the news and stared at it... This situation is difficult to solve."

After a moment of silence, he looked at his younger sister who was full of worry, and said, "But there is one thing, it's good news."

"Same as you." Ji Nanxian said: "His Royal Highness also believes that this incident was definitely not done by Xiao Jie, but was deliberately framed by others. His Highness has secretly asked people to investigate last night's incident secretly. If there are clues and progress, I'll tell you again."

Heng Yu felt a little relieved: "If that's the case, it would be the best."

This is certainly good news, at least on the surface, but when the situation is unclear, you can't pin all your hopes on the prince——

"Brother, I..."

"Needless to say, brother knows." Ji Nanxian looked at her and sighed softly: "It is impossible for my little Yu'er to stand by and watch."

"Since you risked to save his life when you were in Yingzhou, how could you just sit idly by this time?" He said with emotion: "When I met Xiao Jieshi last time, my elder brother has already seen it. Man is not only an ally, but also a heart-to-heart friend with one heart and one mind—”

"..." Heng Yu was silent for a while with complicated emotions.

Brother seems very unwilling to think about it further.

But elder brother's words are right, she can't sit idly by.

"Since there is an alliance agreement, a promise is a thousand gold, and brother will not object to your helping Xiao Jieshi. I will do my best to help if I can, and we can discuss countermeasures together." Ji Nanxian said: "But you should always remember' Do what's in your power' four words."

Heng Yu nodded seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I understand."

Immediately asked: "Brother, do you know why the Princess of Hedong insisted that the person was killed by the Marquis of Dingbei? How did she escape from being murdered when she was walking with the King of Hedong?"

If it wasn't for Princess Hedong's deliberate slander, then there must be a reason for this.

These details are not easy to find out outside, but brother may know a little bit by the side of His Royal Highness.

"It is said that the Princess of Hedong was overly frightened, and she couldn't answer clearly. She can only let the medical officer watch over her, and take some soothing decoction to calm down before speaking..."

Ji Nanxian said: "As for the details, it is what the female envoy beside her said. It is said that when their master and servant saw that the situation was not good, they wanted to call for someone to come to rescue King Hedong. Because they were hiding in a dark alley, I just escaped a catastrophe. It was also when I was hiding that I overheard those people chatting and mentioned that it was Dingbeihou who wanted to kill Hedong King—"

Heng Yu frowned slightly: "Accidental?"

Is this "accidental" too coincidental?
