The short knife in Xiao Yi's hand stopped, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at the little maid with a half-smile.
Nangong Yue also raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, just as they had analyzed before, as soon as Aunt Mei died, suspicious eyes would immediately be cast on Xiao Yi.
And Xiao Yi is someone who never likes to explain to outsiders. For him, as long as he has a clear conscience, he doesn’t care about the opinions of outsiders. Nangong Yue sighed slightly in his heart. Xiao Yi’s reputation in his previous life was ruined, and there may be some reasons for this. It's because of his temperament.
Guan Yubai stroked his sleeves and asked, "Your name is Lancao?"
He looked at the little maid with gentle eyes, trying to calm her down with the simplest questions.
Lancao looked at Guan Yubai and nodded stiffly: "Back to the Marquis, this servant is Lancao."
Guan Yubai showed a faint smile, and then said: "Lancao, I want to ask you a few questions, and you must answer them honestly."
"Yes, Lord Marquis. I will tell you everything I know." Lan Cao assured her eagerly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and her body, which was originally as tense as a tightened bowstring, relaxed a little.
Guan Yubai then asked the first question: "Lancao, has your Aunt Mei ever left the palace?"
Lancao hurriedly replied: "Back to the Marquis, absolutely not! Ever since Aunt Mei was promoted as aunt, the servants have been serving her. Aunt Mei stays in the palace every day, peacefully."
Guan Yubai was noncommittal and continued to ask: "Where does your aunt often go in the palace on weekdays and what do you like to do?"
Lancao knelt on the ground, hunching her shoulders. Although she didn't understand why she was asking these questions, she still answered obediently: "My aunt goes for a walk in the small garden every day to enjoy the scenery..." while speaking. , her voice was still a little trembling.
Guan Yubai remained calm and continued to ask: "What else?"
Lancao thought about it seriously and said: "Auntie occasionally makes some embroidery, basically making shoes and socks for the prince, embroidering handkerchiefs and so on."
Guan Yubai looked at her steadily, nodded, and motioned for her to continue.
Lancao could only rack her brains to think back, "Also... after my aunt got pregnant, she especially liked the rose cakes in Li's shop. The slave can only leave the house once every five days, and every time, my aunt will Let the slave buy some rose cakes made by Boss Li himself. The rest..." She thought carefully for a while and then said, "There are really none."
Li's shop?
Guan Yubai lowered his eyes and tapped his knuckles on the side of his body a few times, thoughtfully.
Currently, it seems that Li's shop is the only intersection between Aunt Mei and the outside world.
Nangong Yue intervened and explained: "Aunt Mei was diagnosed with Hi Pulse a month ago on March 20th."
March 20? !
Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai's eyes lit up at the same time. In early March, Carrero escaped from Baiyue.
He should be able to reach Luoyue City around mid-March.
After that, Aunt Mei suddenly fell in love with the pastries from Li’s shop...
Guan Yubai's eyes stayed on Lancao for a moment. She probably didn't know the truth. Otherwise, she wouldn't be staying here so well now. The assassin sent by Carrero would definitely take the opportunity to kill her too. I want to silence myself, so...
The most Li's store can do is pass the news in, and someone needs to pass the news out.
Guan Yubai's voice was gentle, and he asked again: "Lancao, who often comes in and out of the yard on weekdays?"
Lancao carefully counted: "...the woman in charge of flowers and trees, the maid who sweeps and sweeps, and the washing room comes to deliver washed clothes every day... By the way, a few days ago, the flower room sent a few Potted plants..."
As she spoke, Guan Yubai quickly eliminated these people one by one. These people were either not qualified to leave the house at will, or rarely went to see Aunt Mei, and they were not the best candidates to deliver the news.
"Also these days, Dr. Xu Liang will come here every three days to ask Aunt Mei for a safe pulse." Lan Cao continued, attracting Guan Yubai's attention.
Xu Liangyi? ! Guan Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking for a while, he asked Nangong Yue: "Prince Concubine, do you know this good doctor Xu?"
Nangong Yue nodded and said: "Doctor Xu Liang has been at the good doctor's office in the palace for ten years. There are four good doctors in the palace. Dr. Xu Liang is mainly responsible for diagnosing the pulses and diseases of the prince's concubines. Aunt Mei diagnoses After the Xi pulse appeared, the prince ordered Dr. Xu Liang to ask for the Ping Ping pulse every three days, until now."
Lancao, who was kneeling on the ground, could tell something was wrong. Could it be that the prince wanted to blame Aunt Mei's death on Dr. Xu Liang? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, every time Dr. Xu Liang comes, a few servants are waiting in the house." If Aunt Laimei and Dr. Xu were to have an affair, she would This personal slave will definitely be beaten to death by the prince!
Xiao Yi looked at Lancao casually, and subconsciously paused while he was about to disembowel the badger.
Although he didn't speak, the aura he released was impossible to ignore. Lancao felt like a thorn in the awn, and reflexively glanced up. At this glance, his eyes fell on the knife stuck in the badger's abdomen. On the short knife, the white intestines mixed with red blood were exposed in the edge of the knife. Lancao felt that her stomach was tumbling again, and she hurriedly withdrew her sight...
Her body shook even more.
Guan Yubai pondered for a moment and asked in a gentle voice: "Have your Aunt Mei ever mentioned those dim sum shops to Doctor Xu Liang?"
Lancao was so frightened that she didn't dare to hide anything. She thought hard for a long time before she nodded and said, "Yes, yes, two or three times. After Dr. Xu Liang diagnosed Ping'an pulse, Aunt Mei mentioned that she wanted to eat it. The rose cakes at Li’s Shop must be made by the boss himself to be delicious, so Dr. Xu Liang must remember to try them.”
It seems to be correct!
Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi exchanged a quick glance, both eyes sparkling.
Xiao Yi raised his lips and smiled, and ordered decisively: "Zhu Xing, tell me, let Xiao Hezi take people to Li's shop and capture Carrero! And Dr. Xu..."
Guan Yubai shook his head with a smile and said, "Doctor Xu Liang, don't move for now. Everything will be done in secret."
Zhu Xing glanced at Xiao Yi and saw that he had no objection. He hurriedly clasped his fists and responded: "Yes, the prince!"
Lancao on the side was still kneeling in panic, waiting for his next fate until he was taken away by Zhu Xing.
Only Xiao Yi and the others were left nearby. At this time, Baihui and Zhuzi came back from collecting firewood. They started to light a fire, while Xiao Yi continued to cut open his badger.
Without the interruption of others, his movements became extremely fast again. He removed the intestines in a few strokes, then left them to the bamboo to wash, and then went to deal with the second badger.
Bamboo was secretly glad that he had brought a few extra water bags. After washing the badger, he strung it up on wooden sticks and put it on the fire to roast...
"Ziba Zhiba..."
In the sound of the flames jumping, the aroma of barbecue gradually came out, making people salivate. Baihui timely sprinkled various spices and seasonings on the golden roasted badger meat, even though she originally thought she was Nangong Yue, who was not hungry, began to feel hungry.
At this time, Xiao Yi also took care of the second badger, and it happened that Bamboo took over and put it on the grill. Baihui divided the badger meat among the masters. Xiao Yi remembered something and mysteriously brought a blue cloth bag and took out two bamboo tubes.
Guan Yubai raised his eyebrows and immediately guessed: "Bamboo tube wine?"
"Yes, Xiaobai, you can drink wine too." Xiao Yi blinked his right eye at Guan Yubai, meaning am I considerate enough?
As he spoke, he opened the lid of one of the bamboo tubes, and the aroma of wine mixed with a faint fragrance of bamboo came out.
He smelled the aroma of the wine, showed an intoxicated expression, and said matter-of-factly: "Barbecue must be paired with good wine."
Otherwise, how can we call it eating meat and drinking alcohol!
Ayi is so unreasonable! Nangong Yue smiled and gave him a look, but still took the bamboo tube wine from him.
Xiao Yi enthusiastically shared the wine with everyone, and then took a big bite of the fragrant roast badger meat. He ate this roast for an hour.
After everyone put out the fire and cleaned up the mess, Xiao Yihuo stood up, brushed off the dust on his body and said: "Bamboo, get your bow and arrow."
Zhuzi hurriedly went to get the bow and arrow hanging on his horse, while Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue with a smile: "Ah Yue, don't forget our bet, how about half an hour from now?"
A bet? ! Nangong Yue was dumbfounded. This guy is here again. When did she make a bet with him? !
Wait! Half an hour... Nangong Yue suddenly remembered that Xiao Yi had asked her before if she believed he could hunt prey in half an hour? Is this a bet between the two of them?
Nangong Yue’s eyes twitched and she didn’t know what to say.
After all this time, Xiao Yi is still thinking about what she said before that they might return without success.
Thinking about it, she found it funny that A Yi always liked to worry about unimportant details.
Xiao Yi seemed to know what she was thinking. He looked at her confidently and winked frivolously, as if to say that he had always been so willing to spend money and retaliate.
Nangong Yue didn't stop him. She liked Xiao Yi's energetic look the most. She rolled her eyes. They didn't mention the bet anyway, so she smiled and said, "Ayi, how about our dinner tonight?" Is it all up to you?" Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Yi kindly, saying that she absolutely trusted him 100%.
Xiao Yi jumped on his horse triumphantly, and Xiao Si behind him deliberately snorted, seeming to question Xiao Yi's ability.
The next step is the real hunting.
Within a stick of incense, Xiao Yi shot a pheasant with an arrow, but in exchange, Xiaosi shot a dart without showing any weakness and killed a hare; Xiao Yi nailed it with a flying knife After hunting down the snake head, Xiaosi brought back a hedgehog; Xiao Yi hunted a muntjac, and Xiaosi hunted an ibex...
Seeing that there were more and more prey around him, and the size of the prey was getting bigger and bigger, Nangong Yue really had a big head.
Both of them are competitive, and when their eyes meet occasionally, sparks fly...
In just a blink of an eye, Xiao Yi hunted another deer.
Nangong Yue finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Ayi..."
"Is it time?" Xiao Yi immediately looked towards Nangong Yue, still somewhat unfinished.
One moment, he looked like a lone wolf, and the next moment he turned into a family dog, wagging his tail enthusiastically at Nangong Yue, with a bit of pride in his expression, as if to say, look, How could I return without success!
Nangong Yue was almost holding her forehead, so she had to coax her, and talked with a smile about what dishes she should make with these prey tonight...
Everyone continued to move forward, and the atmosphere became leisurely again after losing the murderous spirit before.
Spring hunting is just for hunting, so enough is enough.
Everyone walked leisurely in the forest, occasionally sitting down to rest, and then it was hunting time exclusively for Xiao Hui and Han Yu.
It wasn't until the sun set that everyone set off on their return journey, and they left the forest at dusk.
"Brother!"
From a distance, they saw Fu Yunhe striding towards them, with uncontrollable excitement on his baby face, followed by Zhu Xing.
Xiao Yi curled his lips and knew what was going on.
"Brother, Lord Marquis, the matter is done." Fu Yunhe said to Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, clasping his fists and smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed.
This Carrero is so bold that he dares to hide in Luoyue City. He should be asking for his own death!
Xiao Yi nodded slightly and then ordered Zhu Xing: "Let the king's guards and Lancao go... It's time to let them meet their father."
Zhu Xing understood, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Prince. My subordinates will give them a good beating to let them know what to say and what not to say!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Xing left quickly.
Xiao Yi smiled and winked at Fu Yunhe: "Xiao Hezi, you didn't have fun today. In a few days, I will let you take a rest for a few days."
"Thank you, brother." Fu Yunhe's eyes suddenly lit up and he agreed with a smile. He had already begun to think about where he should take cousin Xia to play in the extra days of Xiu Mu.
Following that, Fu Yunhe also walked away happily, walking happily.
One look at his appearance and you knew who he was looking for.
Nangong Yue looked at his back, the smile in her eyes almost overflowing. When Sister Xia faked her death and left the capital, how could she have known that she would be here today!
Destiny is really full of twists and turns.
Everyone broke up near the camp and returned to their own tents.
After being tired for most of the day, Nangong Yue’s brows and eyes were already stained with fatigue. Xiao Yi touched the top of her hair and said: "A Yue, please rest for a while first."
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said, "I'm thirsty."
His royal concubine gave her orders, and Xiao Yi quickly went to pour her tea diligently.
Just as the tea was brought to Nangong Yue's lips, someone came outside the tent. Huamei came in and reported: "The prince, the prince, the prince is furious and sent someone to summon the prince and the prince. ”
When Huamei said "summoned", that was polite.
The king of Zhennan sent not a maid, but two big and thick palace guards. When the two tall men stood there, they looked menacing, but who dared to really "escape" the crown prince? Master, the guards can only wait outside the camp with polite words.
Nangong Yue wanted to say something, but she had no chance to say anything. The cup in Xiao Yi's hand was still close to her lips, as if he would not give up until she drank a little.
There was silence in the camp for a moment.
Huamei has an inexplicable complicated feeling in her heart. She originally thought that she would come to report the news and attract the thunderous wrath of the future prince, but what is going on now? Why does she feel like even the air is pink?
Nangong Yue, however, felt as if she was digging a hole for herself to jump into, so she had no choice but to hold the tea cup obediently and drink some water.
When the sweet tea entered her mouth, Nangong Yue realized that she was really thirsty. She drank most of the water in the cup in one breath. Xiao Yi then took the cup away and then touched her soft hair. Top, as if to say, so good.
The maids tried their best not to look away.
The young couple adjusted each other's clothes a little, and then walked out of the tent together.
The two guards waiting outside finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the prince would not come out. If the prince did not come out, they would not dare to go in and arrest anyone, even if they were brave and heartless. If you return empty-handed, then to the prince...
One of the guards respectfully stretched out his hand to make a petition: "Your Majesty, please!"
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue went to King Zhennan's tent together. A guard guarding the entrance of the tent hurriedly opened the curtain to let the two masters in.
As soon as he entered the door, he received a "grand" welcome from the King of Zhennan. A blue and white porcelain cup was smashed over, and the hot water in the cup splashed out in mid-air. Xiao Yi frowned slightly, and a big Stepping forward, his tall figure stood in front of Nangong Yue.
"Bang!"
The porcelain cup happened to hit the ground less than three inches away from Xiao Yi's boots. Naturally, it was inevitably shattered into pieces. The fine pieces of porcelain and tea splashed out, soaking the corners of Xiao Yi's robe and black boots. , but Xiao Yi didn't care at all.
His father, just like his wife, loves smashing cups.
Anyway, the Wangfu family has a great business, and they are not afraid that their father will ruin the family. As long as Ayue's skirt is not stained, it will be fine.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth.
When King Zhennan saw that the traitor still dared to laugh, the anger in his heart burned even more intensely. He raised his hand and cursed angrily at Xiao Yi: "Treason, did you send someone to kill Aunt Mei?"
The blue veins on King Zhennan’s forehead are bulging, and his face looks a bit ferocious.
On the ground beside them, Wang Huwei and the little maid Lancao who came to report the news were kneeling with their heads down. Both of them were trembling with fear, wishing that their master did not see them.
Xiao Yi didn’t even look at them. He took Nangong Yue a few steps forward and walked to the middle of the tent. Then he looked at King Zhennan, raised his eyebrows in confusion, and asked, “Father, why are you silent? You are so stupid, who is Aunt Mei?"
This traitor still wants to talk to me! King Zhennan was so angry that his chest hurt, and he slapped the table and said: "You dare to do it, but you don't dare to admit it?!"
"Father, you have wronged me." Xiao Yi looked at King Zhennan calmly, his expression became even more innocent, and he said confidently, "I have no other advantages, but I have always dared to take action. On the battlefield , I have killed thousands if not tens of thousands of people. If you dare to kill, you dare to recognize them!"
Nangong Yue stood behind Xiao Yi with lowered eyebrows, trying hard to hold back her laughter and letting Xiao Yi use his ability to **** people off to death.
The King of Zhennan gritted his teeth and said: "On the battlefield, we are either friends or enemies. Aunt Mei is my aunt, and she is still pregnant. How can it be the same?!" King Zhennan simply said it plainly, so as to avoid pretending to be a traitor. Confused!
"Father, you are talking about the twin Aunt Mei!" Xiao Yi pretended to suddenly realize it, and his expression became even more confused, and he deliberately asked, "Father, why should I kill Aunt Mei?"
King Zhennan blurted out intuitively: "Of course you are narrow-minded and can't tolerate your concubine!"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, "Do you think I can't tolerate a younger sibling who hasn't been born yet?"
Xiao Yi emphasized the words "not born" and reminded King Zhennan not to keep talking about his concubine. The child was still in Aunt Mei's belly. It was hard to say whether it was a boy or a girl. Moreover, it was nine months into the pregnancy, so there were variables. Quite a few, it’s hard to say whether this child will be born!
The King of Zhennan choked and his momentum weakened a bit.
Seeing the change in King Zhennan's expression, Xiao Yi continued with a sneer: "Father, what if Aunt Mei gives birth to a bastard? I have tolerated Xiao Luan, and I still care about whether a child can grow up. The eldest concubine? Or does my father think that I hate him so much that he has a concubine who looks like my mother and concubine, and I hate him so much that he wants to kill her?" Xiao Yi's tone became sharper and sharper, and he no longer showed any mercy. .
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi would suddenly mention his dead wife. King Zhennan was ashamed and angry, and his old face turned red. It seemed that the traitor had long been dissatisfied with him! What an unfilial and rebellious son!
Xiao Yi looked at King Zhennan without blinking, his eyes were cold, and he said almost questioningly: "What does it mean that my father insists on taking her to his side despite knowing that I hate him?!"
Hearing this, Wang Guardi and Lan Cao's faces even lowered, wishing they could disappear immediately.
The King of Zhennan could no longer lose his face, and said angrily: "Son, I am your father. Is this the way you speak to your father?"
Xiao Yi sneered and suggested: "Since Father is so concerned about how people died, then go and find out clearly. Without Father's order, the body must still be in the same place and no one has touched it."
Zhennan Wang frowned, and his breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
Check! Must check!
If Aunt Mei’s death was really the fault of this traitor, I would have to take away the throne from this traitor!
