Darkness of Rebirth

Chapter 89

Dongfang Lingwu and Chu Mi had been away for three days, and it was the seventh day of the first lunar month when it suddenly snowed heavily.The long-awaited heavy snow fell one after another, but in a short while, the whole earth turned into a piece of snow white.

Dongfangdu looked at the non-stop heavy snow outside the window, and suddenly asked: "Yun'er, where do you think senior sister and the others are?" The two of them had to pass through their fief Jinzhou, and traveled to Youzhou before arriving at Wuya Mountain.If it's a fast horse, it can reach the foot of Wuya Mountain in three days, but if it's slow, it should still be halfway.

Dark Cloud looked at the flying snowflakes, and replied leisurely: "Probably still in Jinzhou." Dongfang Lingwu wanted to chase after Chu Mi, she also knew, Dongfangdu didn't need Wu Yazi to come to save his life, this is a good relationship Time, why should the two rush to Wuya Mountain?

"Yun'er, why don't you go for a walk with me in the imperial garden and gather some plum blossom snow." The plum blossoms in the back garden have all bloomed, so I can take this opportunity to pick some snow from the plum blossom trees and make tea with snow.The tea brewed in this way has a hint of plum blossom fragrance in the clear tea fragrance.

Just thinking about it, I can't wait to go to the Royal Garden to pick some clear snow from the tops of plum blossoms.

An Yun turned his head to look at Dongfang Du who was eager to go out to pick snow, smiled and shook his head: "You are not in good health, so don't think about leaving this Fengqing Palace." You have to have a good body to do leisurely and elegant things.What should I do if I go out and get infected by the wind and cold, my illness will get worse, and congenital diseases will be caused?

"Yun'er, just accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk, just stay for a while, pick some plum blossom snow, and then come back." Dongfang Du walked to An Yun's side, stretched out his hand and gently pulled off her sleeve, begging.

"If you want to pick plum blossom snow, it's enough for Banlan to go." Turning to look at Banlan who was standing by the side, he said jokingly: "Banlan, Your Highness the Second Prince wants to make snow tea, your personal maid , should I go to the Royal Garden and pick the plum blossom snow for her?"

"Uh..." Banlan turned her head to look at Dongfangdu, and asked her if it was enough to pick some plum blossom snow by herself, or she should keep silent and let her go by herself.Seeing that she frowned first, then raised her brow lightly, she knew what she meant.

"This plum blossom snow picking, His Royal Highness the Second Prince should go in person. The status of a servant is low, and I am afraid that my hands will be dirty with the snow, which will affect the taste of the tea." Banlan replied, and as soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Du smiled to himself She nodded her head slightly, as expected of her good personal maid, she really understands her mind.

"You really want to go by yourself?" An Yun saw that Banlan looked at Dongfangdu's expression before answering himself. Knowing that Dongfangdu really wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to pick plum blossoms and snow in person, there was a faint sign of relaxation in his heart.

Dongfang Du thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, let Banlan go, I'd better stay in Fengqing Palace in peace for a few days." Regarding the poisoning, the minister of punishment and the minister of Dali Temple have never heard of it. If he found any clues, it would be better for him not to walk around and cause trouble for himself.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Banlan: "Banlan, it is inconvenient for me to leave this Fengqing Palace. You can pick some plum blossom snow on behalf of me. After boiling, brew a pot of Qingzhou's Yuhoulongjing and send it over."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ban Lan blessed Fu's body, and then backed out.

"Yun'er, tell me, how should this poisoning case be settled?" The Minister of Criminal Affairs and the Minister of Dali Temple investigated for three full days, but found nothing.In the past few days, all the princes stayed peacefully in their own palaces, almost never took a step, but Dongfang Lingwu, with the permission of Emperor Qianwen, went out of the palace to Wuya Mountain with Chu Mi.

Emperor Qianwen was quite dissatisfied with the performance of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple this time, and issued an imperial edict, if nothing useful was found after three days, he would resign directly and go home to farm.

Zhao Hezhang, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, has been an official for seven years, and he has only been in this position for one year. He didn't expect to encounter such a big case, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was safe to resign and go back to seclusion.This case happened at the banquet organized by the crown prince for the second prince and the third prince to celebrate the title of king. The four princes and the princess were all suspects of this matter.No matter which prince is found to have poisoned them, they will not end well.

Dali Temple Minister Xuan Qiuyu felt that he was unlucky. After ten years as an official, he encountered such a case that could not be investigated and could not be returned. However, Emperor Qianwen insisted on letting him, the head of Dali Temple, investigate this case, so he couldn't let it go. Are officials like Dali Temple Shaoqing coming to investigate this case?It is estimated that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is about to wake up from their dreams at this moment. When they resign, they will have a chance to be promoted.

Although it is said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but if we really find out which prince poisoned it, I am afraid that Emperor Qianwen will kill them. , It's not something courtiers like them can guess.

If it is found that it has nothing to do with the four princes and princesses, then the purpose of the poisoner needs to be investigated again. case.And all this was only caused by the prince's banquet.You said that you are a good prince, what kind of banquet is there!Wouldn't it be good to read books and practice in the East Palace to prepare for taking over the big position?This set up and two sets up, unexpectedly came up with such a big case!

An Yun pondered for a moment before replying: "I'm afraid this case will not be settled." There is no evidence, and the case cannot be settled. If there is evidence, it will be fine to find her here. How should the case be settled for a certain prince?

In such a huge Donggan country, the royal family is so withered, how can Emperor Qianwen be willing to let a certain prince die in his own hands?If the courtier is dead, he can make up for it by passing the imperial examination. If the prince is dead, how can he have the energy to give birth to another one?For so many years, Chang Lin. Fortunately, the concubines in the harem, I have never seen those concubines conceive a dragon seed again!

Emperor Ganwen had his own thoughts on how to choose.

"Yun'er, if the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the Minister of Dali Temple can't find out this case, they are just dismissed from office. What will happen if the secret guards can't find out this case?" She remembered that the secret guard sent by her father Dark Wind is best friends with Dark Cloud.

An Yun frowned and thought for a moment, then replied: "This depends on what your father wants. However, I may not be able to hide this matter from An Feng. I have learned many methods from the Dark Guard Organization. If An Feng seriously investigates Now, it is very likely to suspect me."

Thinking about it this way, An Yun suggested: "Du, why don't I send someone to get some half-truths and half-false clues to guide the minister of punishment and the minister of Dali Temple to find out about the third prince Dongfang Xu." He is good at assassination and gathering intelligence.After many investigations, it was found that Dongfang Xu had an army of a thousand men in his hands.

This thousand-man army is insignificant compared with the 120 million soldiers and horses of the Dungan Kingdom.But if all these thousand people were placed in the palace, it would be more than enough to find a chance to control Emperor Qianwen and the other princes.

If he leads Dongfang Xi to take action against Dongfang Xu, and then forces him to fight back, and when both sides suffer, he will just reap the benefits of the fisherman.The crown prince is abolished, and the third prince is also abolished, leaving her and the fourth prince alone. If Dongfang Jin can be a great leader, it is not a bad idea to let him be on the throne. The throne.

After thinking about it, Dongfang Du said to An Yun: "Dongfang Xi has already had doubts about Dongfang Xu. Regarding the banquet, he is most suspicious of me, not me, but his own brother Dongfang Xu. As long as he pushes a little bit more, he will definitely respond. Dongfang Xu started. He was on the throne at the beginning, and he was able to kill us with the help of your dark guards. Now he has no dark guards, only Wuyu's loyal bodyguards are available, and now I have my own zhen Wei, he has no chance of winning."

Thinking of An Yun in front of her again, in order to get rid of the dark guard organization for herself, in the four years since she left, she founded Huangquan Pavilion, just to protect her alone, her Zhenwei plus An Yun's Huangquan Pavilion, plus The person in Fang Huiting's hands, in this world, she is at her fingertips.However, she could attack Dongfang Xi Dongfang Xu, but she couldn't attack her father Emperor Qianwen.

She must not do anything about rebellion.

Looking at An Yun with gratitude, she said slowly: "Yun'er, you have paid too much for me." She should have walked this road alone, but An Yun came.If she could be a secret guard for the rest of her life, she wouldn't have to endure so much pain of parting, and she wouldn't have to bear so many unnecessary responsibilities for her.

An Yun just shook her head, "I owe you everything, you don't have to feel guilty." It was the debt owed in that previous life, and she was destined to pay it back in this lifetime.No, one life is not enough, she has to pay it back life after life.

"I don't owe anything. In my previous life, I was willing. Even if I said those things against my will, it was just to anger you."

"Then everything I do is voluntary. Don't talk to me in a guilty tone. If I don't owe you, you don't owe me anything." I only hope that things in this palace will be quick. Yes, they go all over the world to play.

"Yun'er, have you ever thought about what you should do if my father finds out and blames you and me?" I was always worried in my heart, afraid that my father would find out about these things I did.

"If I can go to death with you, I don't have any regrets." It's fine to die together, when the time comes, we will go to the underworld together, walk through Huangquan Road, cross the Naihe Bridge holding hands, and drink wine together on the Forgetting Stage Forget soup, write down each other's life after life in the reincarnation book, and never be separated again.

Dongfang Du hugged An Yun into his arms, and said with a smile: "You are so stupid, with me here, how could I let you die. Even if my father finds out, I will protect you well." In this life, they must Live for a long time.

She has the ability to seek power and usurp the throne, but she can't let An Yun accompany her to bear the charge of treason.Now it's just a tricky way, even if Emperor Qianwen finds out, they can retreat and leave the capital.

An Yun buried his face deeply in her chest, so moved that he was speechless.Just at this moment, Ban Lan came back covered in snow and snow, still carrying a small copper pot for making tea in her hand, and said cheerfully as soon as she entered the door: "Your Highness, Xuecai..." Seeing the two embrace each other , I feel so sad, the two of them are here, you and me, she has to brave the wind and snow to pick plum blossoms and snow!Being a personal maid is hard work!After a short pause, he continued: "Xuecai is back, Xiao Anzi will bring charcoal fire over in a while, and then His Highness can cook Xuebo tea in this room." After speaking, her tone was full of bitterness .
