auspicious time has come

Chapter 229 Who is it?

Ning Yu managed to regain her senses, and stepped forward to help her younger sister: "Sit down first..."

Gu Tingnan poured a cup of warm tea and silently handed it to Heng Yu for her to hold it.

Mrs. Meng looked at her granddaughter sitting there, and it took a while before she said: "I just heard some news from various places about the incident in the palace last night... Ah Heng, tell me, the original story .”

Ordinarily, at this time, there should be no rush to touch the bloody fresh wound of the child, but she knew about her family's Ah Heng.

And what is the most important right now, her family, A Heng, knows better.

Holding the warm teacup, Hengyu explained the whole story of Mrs. Xiao's accident in a hoarse but orderly manner.

"Brother is still in the palace to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to deal with this matter, so he has not been able to go back to the mansion. Please let me tell my grandmother and sister-in-law not to worry about him." Heng Yu finally said.

Mrs. Meng's tone was complicated: "This matter is bound to cause a storm in the court..."

"That Turkic envoy is crazy, to be so rampant!" Yu frowned tightly: "Or, the Turkic people deliberately provoked, seeing that the southern border was unstable, they deliberately wanted to find an excuse so that they could use this to provoke Start a war?"

"What my sister-in-law said is not impossible. The Turkic people have always been warlike... and I have heard that even though they have paid tribute to Dasheng publicly in the past two years, they have not cut off their contacts with Khitan in secret." Heng Thinking of what she saw, heard, and felt last night, Yu said, "But I always feel that... things may not be so simple."

Before the truth is known, it is blind to put all the crimes on one side.

Gu Tingnan said: "If it wasn't for the Turkic people, then who would it be? Mrs. Xiao came to the capital for the first time, and she wouldn't have formed such a deep hatred with anyone..."

"The matter happens in the palace, and the possibility of personal enmity is almost negligible." Mrs. Meng mused: "I'm afraid it's still aimed at the general trend, so why not calm down and see what kind of dilemma this matter will cause to who... ..."

"Yes." Heng Yu lowered her eyes and said truthfully in a low voice: "The incident happened suddenly last night, and I even suspected that this matter was ordered by His Royal Highness—"

Ning Yu and Yu Shi inevitably looked at her in surprise.

Heng Yu went on to say: "But looking at the next step, this matter has undoubtedly forced the crown prince and the court into a dilemma."

"That's right." Mrs. Meng said: "The Turkic envoy is the one who is most suspected now. If you deal with this person, you will give the Turkic people a reason to start a war. If you don't deal with this person, it is tantamount to committing crimes." The act of covering up will inevitably create a rift between Xiao Jie and Lu Longjun from the Northland, and it is absolutely impossible for Lu Longjun in the North to swallow this breath..."

As for letting Dingbeihou and Lu Longjun consider the overall situation, don't you want to "match it"?
May I ask, what reason in this world can make the person who lost his only relative maintain an almost indifferent rationality?

Moreover, the rift between Lu Longjun and the imperial court had already existed long ago, like a string that was about to break, it could not be shaken in any way.

"In this way, doesn't it mean that no matter what you choose, it will lead to war?" Yu said in shock: "... If someone really planned it deliberately, what kind of heart is there to see Dasheng fall into war? It must not be an envoy from another country Is it a trick behind the scenes?!"

"The envoys from other countries..." Mrs. Meng shook her head in thought: "The matter happened in the Eastern Palace, and those envoys from other countries might not be able to reach in... Ah Heng just said that the Turkic envoy claimed to be caught by a palace maid. Injured, and stole the bracelet, but because of the wrong identification, it proves that those words are all sophistry—this point, I am afraid it is also calculated by the people behind it.”

"That's right, the palace lady identified by Jiaque is named Yuezhi, and the biggest feature is that there is a red mole between her eyebrows." Hengyu said: "Jiaque said that he met that palace lady in front of the bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest I also went there last night when I was looking for Aunt Xiao, my eyesight was dim and Jia Que was in a trance due to drunkenness, it is possible to recognize someone with only a single red mole - in this way, only one person who is similar to Yue Zhi's figure is needed Draw a red mole between the eyebrows, comb the same bun, clothes, and jewelry, and you can nail the words that Gaque explained to yourself later as a lie."

And once the most suspected person "lied", the charge became more and more difficult to get rid of.

Ning Yu and the others couldn't help nodding their heads as they heard this and thought about it.

The look in Heng Yu's eyes was serious: "The premise of doing this must be that this person has a very good internal response in the Eastern Palace... It is really unfathomable to be able to cultivate such a hidden eyeliner under the prince's nose."

After a slight pause, she said almost firmly: "If such a person really exists, then this person must be the same person as the real mastermind behind the assassination of King Hedong."

At first glance, these two things are not related, but looking at the overall situation, it can be seen that their purpose has the same purpose - to use the hand of the court to force Lu Longjun to rebel, and to bring disaster to the current ruler of Dasheng.

On a bigger scale, this person has been trying to create troubled times.

This is very similar to Yan Ming.

But Yan Ming still doesn't have such supernatural abilities.

For a moment, the hall fell into a strange silence, and everyone felt a cold air enveloped their bodies.

"Then... who is this person?" Ning Yu asked in a low voice.

Yu Shi also felt nervous: "Could it be those princes and princes who want to seek power?"

"Wait a little longer..." Heng Yu looked at the closed hall door, and said slowly: "I will show up soon."

The opponent set up a game in the dark, how could he know that he would not enter the game?

……

After leaving from the front hall, Ning Yu was worried about Heng Yu, so she walked with her to the courtyard, and asked in a low voice on the way: "Uncle Ping rushed back alone in a hurry, and almost put Mr. Bai into the carriage... But how come?" Has the Hou Mansion gone?"

Heng Yu nodded, and said hoarsely: "He needs Grandpa Bai now..."

Ning Yu sighed with red eyes: "How can God be so unfair? Why did you pick only one person in this suffering of death..."

Heng Yu looked up at the glaring blue sky and the blazing sun, and when the sun shone, there were tears in his sore eyes.

Back in the room, Heng Yu obediently lay down on the bed in order to reassure Elder Sister.

It wasn't until she closed her eyes and fell asleep that Ning Yu just got up from the bed, gently put down the bed curtain for her sister, and left.

Inside the bed tent, Heng Yu opened her eyes again, looking at the top of the bed with every movement.

She couldn't close her eyes.

When she closed her eyes, she saw Aunt Xiao drowned in the water with a bluish complexion, and pool water stained red with blood was coming towards her on all sides.

And, that terrible guess that has sprouted in the bottom of my heart...

Hengyu didn't know how long she had been lying like this, Cuihuai only thought she was extremely tired and fell asleep, so she didn't dare to disturb her, and sent all the female envoys outside to guard her.

Until it gets dark outside the window.

"Girl, it's time to wake up and have some supper..." Cuihuai came to the bedside and called softly.

Heng Yu replied "OK" and slowly sat up.

In the middle of the night, Ji Nanxian, who was exhausted all over his body, returned.

In the morning of the next day, the Dingbeihou Mansion opened its doors.

Soon, the prince came to offer his condolences.

　Catch up, good night everyone (I don’t dare to speak now_(:з」∠)_)
