emperor cold concubine

Chapter 698
Xie Changting is not a lively person, and he has a child by his side, so it is impossible to go shopping too late.

The town was not big, and it took only an hour to go back and forth on the noisy street. When we returned to the inn, all the irrelevant people had already left, and the inn was completely silent.

For a town that is noisy enough, such a quiet night always makes people feel somewhat unusual for no reason.

"Mr. Xie and Miss are back?" The owner of the inn stood behind the counter to settle the accounts. Seeing the two coming in, he couldn't help but put down his abacus and Lang Hao, walked out from behind the counter, and handed them a letter.

Xie Changting frowned slightly, and the first thing he noticed was his hand. The innkeeper handed the folded letter to Xie Changting respectfully, and said politely: "This is a letter from the two upstairs to Mr. Xie. They He left in a hurry, as if there was something urgent, so I asked the villain to forward this letter to the young master."

Xie Changting was silent.

"Huh?" Yixue was obviously surprised and strange, "My parents left us and left?"

What happened, so that the father and the queen couldn't bear it anymore?

An ominous premonition crossed Yixue's heart.

The white rice paper was folded very flat, and there were no traces of being taken apart, but this did not explain anything.If the matter was really urgent, Cang Hao probably wouldn't have the leisure to fold the letter paper so neatly.

Xie Changting looked at the letter, then at the innkeeper, and calmly reached out to take it.

"The other three sons also followed?"

It refers to Mo Li, Chu Han and Shisi.

The innkeeper said: "Yes, my lord—all of them rode on horseback, and even the carriage was left behind."

Hearing this, Xie Changting didn't rush to open the letter, but silently carried Yixue up to the second floor.

After entering the wing room and putting Yixue on the ground, Xie Changting pondered for a while before opening the letter, his calm tone seemed to be mixed with a little strange emotion, "Xue'er, the imperial capital... I'm afraid something happened."

Things that can make Cang Hao and Su Mo leave in a hurry, and they can't even wait for an hour, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Yixue was also aware of the unusualness of the matter, and said solemnly: "Brother Changting, please open the letter first, and then we will hurry up and follow."

Xie Changting nodded, opened the letter according to what she said, and quickly read the ten lines at a glance, but he read every word clearly.

After reading the last few words, Xie Changting's face was as cold as ice.

"Brother Changting?" Yixue frowned, "What happened?"

"...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious. The imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis confirmed that he has been poisoned." Xie Changting's face was cold, his eyebrows were downcast, and he stared at the corner of the table, his eyes were full of thoughts that were deep and unpredictable.

"Brother Prince was poisoned?" Yixue's complexion changed, and a glint of ice flashed in his eyes, "Who is so bold that he dares to harm the crown prince? Are the Imperial Capital's Habayashi Army all posing nicely? Someone took advantage of the loophole?"

Xie Changting didn't speak, it doesn't make much sense to think about it now, and the two masters have already returned first, so they will find out the truth of the matter.

Yixue obviously also thought of this, calmed down, but asked strangely, "Aren't Fengyilou Nangong Xuanshang and He Lianzhan both in the imperial capital? Didn't Yixiu summon them to the palace to detoxify?"

"Xue'er, this is the unusual part of the problem." Xie Changting glanced at her, then turned his gaze back to the letter in his hand, on which was written in black and white, "The crown prince is poisoned, and no one can solve it."

No one can solve it, naturally including Helian Zhan.

The letter described the ins and outs of the matter in great detail, but it was not Cang Hao's handwriting, but from Bi Yue, the landlord of Fengyi Building.

Cang Hao directly handed Bi Yue's letter to him without saying a word. Obviously, his master, who is always used to controlling the overall situation, also noticed something unusual this time.

Hearing this, Yixue's expression also became solemn, and the condensed breath quietly revealed in his eyes, a poison that even Helian Zhan, the patriarch of poison, couldn't cure?
"If someone secretly came here to target the royal family, this world that has been peaceful for three years will cause great turmoil again?" Yixue said slowly, quietly filtering in her mind that the person who attacked secretly might come from Where, what identity.

There was a sound of pedaling, Xie Changting and Yixue looked at each other, and then the innkeeper's voice came from outside, "Mr. Xie, Miss."

Xie Changting said lightly, "Come in."

The innkeeper pushed the door open, bowed and said slowly: "Young Master Xie must have read the letter. When those two were leaving, they meant to ask Young Master Xie and Miss Xue'er not to return to the imperial capital for now."

"Not back?" Yixue frowned puzzled, "Why?"

"Xue'er." Xie Changting said, "I understand what Master means, and you don't need to ask."

After all, he turned his head to look at the owner of the inn in front of him, as if he had already confirmed his identity in his heart, and said lightly, "We will stay in the inn for two more days, you pay close attention to the movement of all parties in the southeast, northwest, and if there is any news, the first time Pay me back."

"Yes."

The boss responded, then bowed and left.

"Brother Changting." Yixue's face was slightly ugly, her little face was as cold as frost, "Brother Prince...is there any danger?"

"...I don't know yet." Xie Changting stood by the table with a sullen face, his hands behind his back, his mind was running rapidly, and he was also filtering out suspicious people from all sides. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Xue'er, I need to go out... "

Yixue raised her eyebrows, "Brother Changting plans to leave me here alone?"

That's exactly what it means.

Xie Changting is now very sure that this inn is safe, and Yixue is small but big, so it is more than enough to protect himself...

Xie Changting was silent for a while, but said lightly: "You can go with me."

Yixue raised her lips in satisfaction, "This is my good husband."

The voice fell, and the two fell silent at the same time.

After looking at each other, they unexpectedly remembered the words of the magician who had met each other just now.

"Strange, really strange..."

Yixue glared at the old man with white hair and white beard, "What's so strange?"

"Obviously there is no red thread, but it is the fate of husband and wife..." The white-haired old man twitched his white beard, frowned and thought desperately, but couldn't think of a reason, "I have never seen such a thing in my life. Strange hexagram."

Of course you have never seen it.

Yixue thought to herself, this relationship between husband and wife was forced by this goddess, it would be strange if you could untie it.

However, a "husband and wife's fate" is enough, from now on, Brother Chang Ting no longer has many excuses to refuse her.

Naturally, Xie Changting couldn't directly refute such a result. No matter whether he acquiesces or denies, or accepts the facts, silence is the best answer.
