Chapter 128 Qingzhu is dead
Chapter 128 Qingzhu is dead
Xiao Wei glanced at everyone, waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him spread out to search everywhere.
There were footsteps and shadows everywhere.
After a while, someone came to report:
"Your Highness, all 126 people in Haitang Garden were killed by a single sword. No one survived."
"Your Highness, all the important documents in the study were burned, and no suspicious letters were found."
"Your Highness, we didn't find the boy you mentioned..."
……
There was thunder outside. Lin Zhaoyue covered her head with the quilt and shivered unconsciously.
She remembered that in her previous life, every time it rained, Liu Yiyi would become extremely cruel and enjoyed torturing people for fun. Every time it rained, she would be tortured to the point of losing half her life.
The thunder came from far away, rumbling like it was exploding next to my ears.
This was not her previous life, it was just an ordinary rainy day. This was not her previous life, and she was no longer the abandoned queen thrown into the cold palace...
Xiao Yan probably went to Liu Yiyi's place tonight. Lin Zhaoyue coaxed herself for a long time before she mustered up the courage to get up and fasten the bolt.
Just as he was about to put the bolt down, a great force came from outside and the door was pushed open.
At this moment, lightning as thick as a thumb struck the ground, illuminating the dark night as bright as day.
A strong smell of blood came. Xiao Yan stood at the door, all wet. His clothes were covered in blood, which mixed with the rain and dripped down, quickly forming a pool of blood-red.
At this moment, he was like an evil ghost that came to your door late at night to claim your life.
Was he injured or did he kill someone?
But no matter what he did, whether he was dead or alive, it had nothing to do with her.
When Xiao Yan saw Lin Zhaoyue, he was stunned for a moment.
It's so late, why hasn't she slept yet?
"wait for me?"
Lin Zhaoyue: …
She also didn't know how Xiao Yan had the nerve to say this?
Lin Zhaoyue didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, so she turned around and walked towards the bed.
Xiao Yan seemed to be certain that she was waiting for him, and continued:
"If you come home late in the future, you don't have to wait for me. If you are tired, go to sleep first."
You are really self-indulgent.
Lin Zhaoyue sneered and said:
"Your Highness, you're overthinking. I'm not waiting for you."
"Then why did you lock the door so late?"
Lin Zhaoyue didn't say that she was afraid, she just said:
"I can close this door whenever I want. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also concerned about this?"
Having said that, Lin Zhaoyue went to bed, covered her head with the quilt, and had no intention of talking to him anymore.
Xiao Yun glanced at Lin Zhaoyue who had wrapped herself up like a silkworm pupa, his eyes flickered, and he spoke:
"Afraid of thunder?"
Lin Zhaoyue did not respond.
He didn't seem to care whether she answered or not, and said to himself:
"Ms. Lin, who is fearless, is afraid of thunder. How strange! Are you afraid of being struck by thunder because you did something wrong?"
Lin Zhaoyue covered her ears even tighter.
After looking at the person on the bed for a while, Xiao Yan turned and went to the bathroom.
When he came back from shower and went to bed, he found that Lin Zhaoyue was still awake.
He hugged her and found that her body was shaking.
Really scared?
Holding her with a little more strength, Xiao Yan said:
"I'm alone, go to sleep."
His tone showed the confidence that even if the sky fell, he would hold it up.
If this was her previous life, Lin Zhaoyue would have been so moved that she would cry, and then so excited that she would not have been able to sleep for three days.
But now, there was no ripple in her heart.
Just as I was about to struggle, I heard Xiao Yan's low voice:
"If you move again, I won't be able to restrain myself."
Lin Zhaoyue gritted her teeth, hooligan!
If he really wanted to, he should go find Liu Yiyi! What was he doing here?
I really want to take out a pair of scissors and cut his hair while he is sleeping.
Only after the delicate body in his arms softened did Xiao Yan fall into a deep sleep.
In his dream, he dreamed of the girl whose face he couldn't see clearly and the rough lotus jade pendant around her waist...
……
Thunder roared, and in the Kunning Palace of the imperial palace, a storm had just stopped.
The queen, who still had her charm, lay in the emperor's arms, her voice still filled with the seductiveness after the rain.
"Your Majesty, last time during the spring hunt, Yin'er was seriously injured, and there has been no result so far. And then there is the burning of the Eastern Palace. Can you just let the person behind the scenes do whatever he wants and hurt Yin'er?"
The emperor knew what the queen was going to say, and said with a headache:
"Queen, even if you want to punish me, you need evidence."
"What evidence do you need? It's obvious that it was done by the eldest prince. I don't care. Yan'er is my son, and I don't want him to suffer this kind of injustice.
Your Majesty, Yan'er is also your son, and you don't even feel sorry for him."
The beautiful eyes were red, the woman was crying beautifully, and Xiao Zhang's heart softened.
I don’t know what’s going on lately. During this period of time, if he doesn’t see the queen for a day, he will miss her very much. Her figure is all in his mind.
Unable to bear seeing her cry, Xiao Zhang coaxed her:
"Okay, tomorrow I will summon the Crown Prince and the First Prince to the Imperial Study and give an explanation to Ying'er. Will the Queen be satisfied?"
The woman said coquettishly, and put her arms around the emperor's neck:
"That's better. The night is still long. I will serve the emperor..."
……
That night, Xiao Yan rarely had a nightmare.
Lin Zhaoyue slept soundly, and when she woke up, the seat next to her bed was empty.
I guess Xiao Yan went to attend the morning court.
It was still raining outside, and the sound of the raindrops was very soothing. Lin Zhaoyue rolled over in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep again.
The Imperial Palace, at the entrance of the Imperial Study.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Yan came out of the imperial study. Xiao Yan had a blank expression on his face, while Xiao Chen looked hurt, but his eyes could not hide the joy.
"Crown Prince, my father asked me to admit that Chunlie was assassinated, and also said that I was the one who burned down the study in the East Palace. Heaven and earth are conscientious. Crown Prince and I are brothers. How could I do such a thing to harm my brothers? If I say that I didn't do it, can you believe me?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Chen and said with a smile:
"I believe in my brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen reached out and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and suddenly burst into tears:
"It is enough to have the Crown Prince's trust. I know that the Crown Prince will believe me.
I was just afraid that the Crown Prince would bear a grudge against me because of this incident, which would affect the brotherhood between you and me. You know, among all the royal brothers and sisters, I like the Crown Prince the most.
Now that the Crown Prince has said this, although my father has punished me with house arrest for half a year, I do not feel any resentment at all. In the final analysis, it is all my fault for not protecting the Crown Prince well. "
He planned the spring hunting incident and burned down the Eastern Palace. His father convicted him of the crime but only sentenced him to house arrest for half a year.
How is this a punishment?
It's clearly connivance.
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he walked away with a look of great satisfaction on his face.
Xiao Yun frowned slightly and left the palace.
"Your Highness."
Feng Xin was waiting outside and started shouting when he saw Xiao Yan come out.
Xiao Yan got on the carriage and said:
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the eldest prince."
"Yes, sir, are we going back to the East Palace now?"
"Let's go to the online pavilion first."
"Yes……"
……
As soon as Xiao Yan and Feng Xin returned to the East Palace from the Linking Pavilion, a guard came to report:
Qingzhu was in the dungeon, dead.
