Chi Yan(1/2)
Ji Yue's first reaction was quite cold-blooded and confused.
What a big deal?
He has been on the battlefield and killed countless people, but only protected his own people. A foreign princess, who has framed Wei Lian, has no concern for her life and death.
However, I am really tired of living a life of daring to make trouble in the Qin Palace.
Compared to Ji Yue's calmness, the envoys from various countries looked different.
Melna was surprised: "Why did he die? This is the Qin Palace..."
Aslan whispered: "Don't worry about this."
Qiao Hongfei frowned and looked at Wei Lian with a little concern, feeling that something was wrong.
Wei Yan was stunned and could not believe that he had attended the banquet together a few days ago, and the beautiful woman died like this. He put down his wine glass absent-mindedly, his hands trembling a little.
Yelu Dan showed a little shock and a little regret.
Prince Xia raised his eyes in shock and gently withdrew his gaze, looking distraught.
I always feel... a storm is coming.
After this incident, no one paid attention to Wei Lian's problem of subduing the Red Maned Horse.
The princess of a country died of Qin's palace or was poisoned by someone. Everyone here was suspected and looked solemn.
Originally, after the national banquet, they would stay in Yongping for a few more days before they could set off and return home one after another. Now, this happened, I am afraid that I would not be able to leave for a while.
Wei Lian swept everyone's expressions without hesitation. Everyone showed normal reactions, and no suspicious people were found for the time being.
Hu Yan Kemu responded the most: "What did you say? The princess is dead?"
"How could the princess die? It's just nonsense!" Hu Yan Kemu could not accept the news of the goddess' death. Everything came too fast, too fast and too unreal.
The palace maid of Yan State cried and said, "It's true... the princess was infected with the cold and kept drinking medicine... But as soon as she finished drinking the medicine today, the princess vomited blood and fell on the table and stopped moving. The maid went to find her nose and the princess was... she was already swallowing!"
Then she screamed and ran out in fear. She wanted to find the envoy of Yan State, but the envoy of Yan State was still watching Wei Lianzhu horses here, so she hurriedly ran over and reported directly to the King of Qin.
Wei Lian said that Princess Chonghua was infected with cold and was not considered a sarcastic rehabilitation after being closed. At this time, the lake water was already cold and bone-black. Li Chonghua was soaked in the water for so long and was frightened again. It was impossible not to get sick.
She did get seriously ill after she went back and started taking medicine.
But yesterday's medicine was fine, but there was a problem when I took it today.
Hu Yankemu took a sudden step back, turned his head and pointed his finger at Wei Lian: "Didn't you say you are a Guijun? Are you responsible for all the big and small matters in the harem of the King of Qin? Princess Chonghua had something happened under her nose, you have to give an explanation!"
He was not completely upholding the injustice for Princess Chonghua. After all, Wei Lian successfully tamed the red-maned horse and slapped Chen Guo in the face. Hu Yan Kemu's disgust with Wei Lian was mixed with some personal grudges, always thinking about pulling people into the water.
Wei Lian's expression did not change: "I am not staring at her like Prince Huyan. How can I count it under my nose?"
He was unaware of this. The Qin Palace was so big that he had not opened his eyes, so how could he know what happened?
Hu Yan Kemu did not let him go: "Then you can't let it go! Someone has something wrong in the harem. Since you are in charge of the harem, you should be responsible for this matter!"
Wei Lian sighed lightly.
I knew that this Luan Seal was a hot potato and was a scapegoat at the critical moment.
He shouldn't have answered.
When the palace maid of Yan State saw someone targeting Wei Lian, she suddenly remembered something and immediately stood up and accused him: "It's you! It must be you! A few days ago, our princess offended you. It's not enough for you to drown her in the water. Do you still want to poison her to death!"
She looked angry: "Why are you so vicious!"
She and Princess Chonghua grew up together. They were not as loyal as sisters, but were at least loyal. That day, the princess returned to Ningyue Tower in a wet body. When she came back, she cried and cursed endlessly. She knew what Princess Chonghua had framed Wei Lian, and she knew what Wei Lian did to Princess Chonghua.
People are always protecting their shortcomings and selfish, and at the same time they bully the weak and fear the strong. She dared not hate the noble King of Qin, so she could only hate Wei Lian. In the past two days, the princess was lingering in sick bed, and she also helped Princess Chonghua curse Wei Lian to die early and not be reborn.
But unexpectedly, Wei Lian was not dead, and the princess died first.
It was a bolt from the blue.
When the princess dies, they will inevitably be unable to escape death when they wait around. Since they are all dead anyway, they must seek justice for the princess!
Hu Yankemu's eyes widened: "What did you say? What was drowned in the water? How dare he treat the princess like this?"
"What's he afraid of? He is protected by His Majesty the King of Qin!" The palace maid of Yan State became more and more unscrupulous, "He was afraid that our princess would take the favor and had the intention to kill. Such a vicious person would be punished! I would curse you for not being good--uh!"
Before the word "death" was spoken, the palace maid stared at her in disbelief.
An arrow penetrated her heart and exposed it from her back, showing the harsh force.
The bright red blood gradually spread out from her chest.
The palace maid covered the arrow with her fingers tremblingly, breathing with difficulty, and suddenly fell to the ground, swallowing with her eyes open.
Everyone was stunned by this incident.
Wei Lian's eyes moved slightly.
Ji Yue withdrew his bow expressionlessly, as if he wasn't the one who killed a person with one arrow just now.
He could not tolerate others slander Wei Lian.
I can't listen to others' curses for the guards to kill them.
Ji Yue walked to Wei Lian and asked him softly: "Aren't you scared?"
Wei Lian lowered his head and patted his chest: "I'm scared to death."
Ji Yue comforted: "It's okay, I'll kill someone."
Everyone: "..."
What a hardcore comfort.
Hu Yan Kemu clenched his fists: "Your Majesty the King of Qin is killing people in public and silence them to protect the criminals?"
"Hasn't the sinner been killed alone?" Ji Yue didn't even look at the corpse, and his eyebrows were disgusted.
"She clearly knows the inside story!" Hu Yan Kemu was aggressive, "What's going on when the princess she was talking about was drowned?"
"How can a palace maid trust people with a slander? Such people who have ulterior motives and falsely accused noble kings will be cut to death by thousands of knifes. A single arrow pierces her heart and will be a favorable gift for her." Ji Yue said coldly, "Prince Huyan does not believe in orphans, but believes in the one-sided words of a palace maid. Is this the loyalty of Chen to Qin?"
Someone in the Chen State envoy group hurriedly suppressed Hu Yan Kemu and reminded him not to anger the King of Qin.
They are not here to visit.
They are here to pay tribute.
To put it bluntly, it is just a vassal state and is not qualified to challenge the King of Qin. The Chen State has resentment towards Qin State and provoked it at first, but if the King of Qin is serious, they will not be able to take it.
Everyone is still in their territory, so how can they let go of their wildness?
Hu Yan Kemu was not confused after all. Even if he had great resentment, he could only endure it indignantly.
The envoy of Yan State should be held accountable most in this matter.
But the envoy of Yan State dared not ask. He was so scared that he was scattered, and had lost his ability to think.
Originally, the princess was the biggest bargaining chip in Yan State, but the King of Qin was not interested at all. The princess was gone again. After he went back, he didn't know whether the head on his neck could be kept.
The envoy of Yan State looked dark and almost fainted on the spot.
"It is useless to say more. It is important to find out the murderer right now." Wei Lian spoke.
Hu Yan Kemu wanted to say, "Isn't the murderer the only one? Why are you still shouting to catch the thief?" He was shook his hand slightly before he suppressed it.
"Since Princess Chonghua is poisoned, I will check the bowl of medicine." Wei Lian calmed down from beginning to end, and deliberately glanced at Hu Yan Kemu, "Go to the scene first. If you are worried, let me go with me."
Hu Yankemu had suspected that the murderer was Wei Lian, and Sheng was afraid that Qin would cover him, so of course he followed him to see what happened. Melna was not interested in watching the fun, so she took Aslan to go with her.
Qiao Hongfei was worried that Wei Lian would not be out of the matter. However, Wei Yan was afraid of seeing the corpse and decided to hide back in the house by himself. Seeing that most people were going, Yelu Dan also followed.
Only Prince Xia seemed to not want to wade into this muddy water, so he sued him and returned to the sinking water basin by himself.
-
Condensing Moon Tower.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Wei Lian saw Li Chonghua lying on the table, closing his eyes, and a blood stain flowed from the corner of his mouth.
There was a bowl of medicine that had been drunk on the table, and there were still some residue in it.
Doctor Wang and Doctor Xu have been sent to wait for the order. Doctor Wang picked up the medicine bowl and sniffed the residue left in the bowl. Doctor Xu stepped forward and took the pulse for Princess Chonghua first, then looked through her eyelids and sniffed her nose. Her expression gradually became solemn: "Princess Chonghua was indeed poisoned and died of death."
Hu Yan Kemu almost rolled his eyes.
Isn’t this nonsense? It’s obvious that something happened after drinking this bowl of medicine...
At this time, Doctor Wang put down the bowl and bowed to Ji Yue: "Report to Your Majesty, this bowl of medicine is not poisonous."
Hu Yan Kemu immediately shouted: "What kind of quack are you? The palace maid said that Princess Chonghua got poisonous as soon as she finished drinking this bowl of medicine. You are still farting here!"
Yelu Dan didn't say anything, but his eyes also showed the meaning of "The King of Qin was too protective of it."
Doctor Wang showed displeasure. He worked in the Imperial Hospital for decades and was also a respected senior. He was suddenly called a quack doctor by a vulgar and barbaric young man from a foreign country, and no one could swallow this.
"I have been practicing medicine for thirty years and have never made any mistakes, let alone fraud." Doctor Wang said in a bad tone, "Prince Huyan is cautious."
"Then what kind of poison is she infected?" Hu Yankemu asked.
After a long examination, Doctor Xu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I can only confirm that Princess Chonghua died of poison, and it will take no more than half an hour, but... I cannot be sure what poison Princess Chonghua was infected with."
