Lin Yi hung Zhu Kun from a distance, only to find that Zhu Kun turned into a remote alley and spoke to a person for a few words, then went to a teahouse, sat there, ordered some food, and just stayed there in a daze.
Are you waiting for someone? Lin Yi was a little unsure.
But he eavesdropped on those words just now. It was Li Tai who wanted to invite Hou Junji to dinner. This probably had nothing to do with the poisoning incident. He didn't believe that Li Tai had poisoned him and himself.
Don't let it go.
"Hey, I finally caught you." Cheng Huailiang patted Lin Yi's shoulder heavily from behind, but Lin Yi couldn't let him pat him, especially when he was still exuding mental power.
"Ouch, it hurts, Xiaoyi." Cheng Huailiang pricked his hand sadly.
"You deserve it. You are the same as your father who likes to pat me on the shoulder." Lin Yi turned around and looked at Cheng Hualiang with a smile.
"It's my fault too? Who made you grow taller? Otherwise, I'd be slapped on the head." Cheng Huailiang waved his hands.
Lin Yizhen was convinced by the unreasonable Cheng brothers, and he believed that they were blaming himself.
"Where's your brother? Aren't you always inseparable?" Lin Yi asked helplessly.
"Didn't we look for you separately? You entered the palace and didn't let us in to help, so as soon as we heard you were leaving the palace, we came to find you. Hehe, I didn't expect to find you." Cheng Huailiang smiled proudly.
"What are you doing to me? It's not me who was poisoned." Lin Yi said in a funny tone.
"Isn't this about you? I'm also concerned about Li Chengqian. How is he?" Cheng Huailiang asked.
"He's fine." Lin Yi sighed. He didn't let these brothers enter the palace just because he didn't want people in the palace to observe their feelings. Everyone thought they got together just because they learned magic, so let them be like this
Think so.
When he was not in the capital, other people rarely interacted with each other, which was considered a taboo. If they knew that their relationship was as good as this, it was inevitable that they would have some thoughts in their hearts. After all, they were the legitimate sons of important ministers, and their influence was still
Very big, especially Li Shimin. If Li Shimin had a taboo against Gao Ming, it would be troublesome. Lin also didn't want anyone other than Gao Ming to take over. He was worried.
"Let the brothers help, otherwise we can't do anything and we will feel very uncomfortable." Cheng Hualiang was a little depressed. He saw that Lin was busy, and his brother was also poisoned, and they could only watch helplessly. It was really
Frustrated.
"Okay, let's find someone to help follow the little eunuch in the teahouse and see what he is going to do when he goes out?" Lin Yi happened to feel bored. He couldn't always wait here, just in case he was fine. Or even if
What's weird? He may not be taking action in the past few days.
"Oh, is there anything else?" Cheng Huailiang obviously felt that this was a trivial matter and he could just let a guard do it.
"No, I have nothing to do. If that person is found out so easily, do you still need me to intervene?" Lin Yi turned around and was about to return to the palace. He planned to think of another way. It is not a good idea to keep surveillance like this.
thing.
"So, we are still not needed?" Cheng Huailiang was very dissatisfied.
"Huailiang, just be honest these days and don't cause any trouble for me. I'll be satisfied." Lin Yi was helpless. If these brothers started to stir up trouble, the capital would be completely in trouble.
"It sounds like we are playboys. We guys are different from those young men who only know how to flirt with women!" Cheng Huailiang protested.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Of course it was different. The trouble that kind of young master could cause was not that big. But if these boys went crazy, it would be a big deal.
"Prepare the New Year's goods. The New Year is coming soon and I don't have time now. Prepare some for me. We'll talk about other things after the New Year." Lin Yi waved his hand at him and walked away.
"Really, I can't help even if I want to." Cheng Huailiang arranged for someone to follow Zhu Kun and then left.
Zhu Kun sat in the teahouse for about half an hour and then returned to the palace. He decided to fake Li Tai's will this time and let the master get rid of Wan'er. Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy.
At midnight, Li Chengqian had fallen asleep, but Lin Yi was still sitting on the bed, closing his eyes and scanning the key palaces of the palace with his mental power.
In particular, the person named by Chang Le to pay attention to, Li Ke, had already fallen asleep. Although his sleep was a little uneasy, he showed no sign of waking up. However, the little eunuch next to Li Tai had not slept all the time and was sleeping so late.
At that time, he quietly left Baifu Hall and walked towards the north of Taiji Palace.
Isn't that where the emperor's concubine lives? What is he doing there?
Lin Yi went out and followed him.
But Zhu Kun did not enter any temple. He just avoided the patrolling personnel, walked to a wall, moved a brick out of the shadow, put a small note in it and left.
Lin Yi also came to this place and found that the wall tile was slightly protruding. He pulled out the wall tile and took out the note. He unfolded it and took a look and found that it was a poem written on it. Could it be that he was exchanging words with someone?
Expressing his feelings? Lin Yi wrote down the poem, put the wall tiles back as they were, and left.
All night long, he was wondering what the note meant.
"Where can I think of returning to Hong Kong by the moon window? My thoughts of tenderness always come to nothing."
With Lin Yi's knowledge of poetry, he really couldn't understand it. But he didn't need to understand it. One day later, a palace maid named Wan'er in Guihong Palace committed suicide by hanging herself.
However, after inspection by relevant personnel, it was discovered that she had been strangled to death, making it look like she was hanging from the neck.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that poem. Could it be that the palace maid named Wan'er was talking about?
"Brother Yi, what are you thinking about? Do you think the death of the palace maid this time is related to the poisoning incident?" Chang Le could only ask Lin Yi. He didn't know anything now, and there was no need to disturb his father and the emperor.
Mother.
"Maybe it's related. The night before yesterday, I found that the little eunuch you asked me to pay attention to left a note behind a wall brick. But although I also paid attention to that place, I didn't find out who took it. As a result, today
This palace maid is dead. Look, this is the poem written on the note." Lin Yi handed the poem to Chang Le.
"Guihongdian, Wan'er. It seems they are really related." Chang Le said thoughtfully.
"I just don't know what their relationship is." Lin Yi regretted a little. He should have kept an eye on it, but when he was doing other things, someone took the note away.
"I think I should talk to my mother, she might know something." Changle remembered that his mother said that she had checked on the little eunuch.
"Wouldn't this make her worry too much?" Lin Yi was a little worried about his godmother's health.
"Then... what should we do?" Chang Le was at a loss for ideas.
"Catch that Zhu Kun." Lin Yi said.
"But, he belongs to Fourth Brother. If we arrest him without any evidence, Fourth Brother will go to the father to complain." Changle did not agree very much. There are some things that are beyond the rules in the palace and are not allowed to be done.
"It concerns the safety of my godfather and godmother. I don't care about that much anymore. Just don't let Li Tai know about it for now." Lin Yi stood up and planned to go in person.
"Then if you catch him, go to the East Palace. We will interrogate him with the prince brother." Changle also stood up.
"Okay, wait for me." Lin Yi walked out quickly, and he happened to use his mental power to catch Zhu Kun leaving Baifu Hall and walking towards the outside of the palace.
Lin Yi quickly ran in front of him and didn't do anything, just called him to stop.
"Which palace are you from? Come and help me with something." Lin Yi waved to Zhu Kun.
"Uh... I've met the King of Zhongshan. I'm from Baifu Palace. I'm..." Zhu Kun accompanied him with a smile.
"Oh, okay, come and do something for me." Lin Yi waved at him before he finished speaking and walked in the other direction.
Zhu Kun had no choice but to follow him. As a result, when he arrived at a deserted place, Lin Yi used Demu magic to tie Zhu Kun up.
"King Zhongshan, what are you doing? I belong to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Zhu Kun was not very panicked. He was the most trusted person of the Fourth Prince. Even if King Zhongshan didn't dare to do anything to him.
"I know..." Lin Yi did not explain. He just waved to the people following him and took Zhu Kun back to the East Palace.
"Xiao Yi, you are very fast." Li Chengqian had already gotten off the bed, but his body was still very weak and he could not sit still for too long.
"I'm so anxious to find out the result and let my godfather give me an explanation." Lin Yi said.
Zhu Kun was a little worried. It seemed that this had been planned for a long time. He heard that Lin Yi was very good at extracting confessions. He might not be able to survive it.
"Then ask, we are all listening." Li Chengqian glanced at Chang Le, and Chang Le nodded.
"Let's start with the palace maid Wan'er. What's your relationship?" Lin Yi stared at Zhu Kun's eyes and carefully used mental pressure to confuse him.
How did Zhu Kun know that Lin Yi had this ability? Lin Yi had only used this ability once. Apart from those present at the time, only Li Shimin knew about it.
"She was the one who introduced me to Christianity." Zhu Kun's expression was dull.
Changle's expression was also dull. Brother Yi is so awesome! He can tell the truth just by asking.
"What teaching?" Lin Yi's voice was very soft.
"Jianjiao."
"How did she die?"
"I had someone kill me."
"Why do you want to kill her? Aren't you both taught by the same teacher?" The voice came like a dream.
"She was so courageous that she dared to poison the emperor's family. I was afraid that it would implicate me, so I pretended to pass on the fourth prince's order to have her killed." Zhu Kun answered all questions.
But Li Chengqian's eyes widened when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the weak palace maid was the culprit.
Changle covered his mouth nervously, fearing that he would scream and disturb Lin Yi's questions.
"Who killed her? Why did that person listen to Li Tai?" Lin Yi hesitated before continuing to ask. He knew that if he asked this question, he might ask something he shouldn't know. But for Li Chengqian's safety
To think about it, he had to know how much power Li Tai had.
"It's a secret guard. The fourth prince bribed a secret guard to work for him."
Li Chengqian turned his head stiffly and looked at Changle, who almost fainted. She never thought that her fourth brother would be so bold, and that he would dare to bribe his father's secret guards? (To be continued. If you like this
