Two days later, Xiliang took Bai Qiqian to a deserted suburb.
There is an isolated tomb in the wilderness. There is no stone tablet on the tomb. However, looking at the soil, one can easily tell that this is a new tomb.
Xiliang pointed to the grave and said, "Qianqian, this grave is the one where Mrs. Wei and Qiu Jin are buried."
Bai Qiqian grinned: "It seems that Yunran's thoughts are not bad, and he even buried the two of them together."
Ever since she saw that scene in the prison, Bai Qiqian has always had a lot of emotions. In the final analysis, she can only look up to the sky and sigh: "This world is really impermanent, everything is impermanent!"
Xiliang didn't answer, just smiled.
He nodded towards Leng Yan who was following behind him. Leng Yan stepped forward and, using his inner strength, struck directly towards the grave.
Bai Qiqian's body trembled: "Dad, what do you want to do?"
Xiliang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "You'll know later."
After a while, the soil collapsed, revealing the coffin. Leng Yan stepped forward, opened the coffin, and then said: "Palace Master, come and take a look."
Bai Qiqian took a step forward, her face suddenly changed: "Dad, what is going on? Why is there only Mrs. Wei's body inside, and where is Qiu Jin? Could it be that Yun Ran buried Qiu Jin somewhere else?"
Xiliang shook his head: "Qianqian, in fact Qiu Jin faked her death. She did so many things with the purpose of creating an opportunity to escape. She was taking advantage of Yun Ran from the beginning to the end. However, I admire
Yes, she actually grasped Yunran's thoughts perfectly."
Bai Qiqian remembered what Xiliang had analyzed for her the day before yesterday, and she gradually began to have concerns in her heart.
She looked a little pale: "Dad, you are right, Qiu Jin is really vicious. In order to escape, he would not hesitate to sacrifice Mrs. Wei."
Xiliang looked intently at the gloomy sky and said, "If Qiu Jin was the only one who drank poison and committed suicide in front of Yun Ran, maybe Yun Ran would drag her out to feed the wild dogs."
If Mrs. Wei died first and Qiu Jin followed her, the situation would be different.
Bai Qiqian held her forehead: "Dad, Qiu Jin is a dangerous person. And if she falls into trouble this time, she will definitely not let it go."
Xiliang waved his hands and said with a non-committal smile: "Let's talk about this later."
With extremely complicated emotions, Bai Qiqian buried Mrs. Wei again.
When I went back, I met Ye Ruochen on the street. The man was wearing a purple robe and was still as evil as ever. Looking at Bai Qiqian's clear and soft eyes, a sinister smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "Fuyao, close by
Have you missed me these days?"
Bai Qiqian was not in the mood to joke with him, and said in a neutral tone: "My whole mind is focused on Ye Liyuan."
Ye Ruochen chuckled: "Don't worry, Li Yuan will be back with you soon."
Bai Qiqian looked at Ye Ruochen excitedly and reached out to grab his clothes: "Do you have any news about him?"
Ye Ruochen took the opportunity to cover Bai Qiqian's hand and said softly: "Li Yuan was involved in the Wei family's affairs and was temporarily detained in a specific cell. Well, wait until Dali Temple confirms his innocence
When the time comes, they will be released.”
Bai Qiqian pouted: "Then how long will it take to confirm his innocence?"
Ye Ruochen frowned: "Now there are many ministers in the court interceding for Li Yuan. He will be released in two or three days at most."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "I don't have to worry about that."
Those who interceded for Ye Liyuan were probably the ministers whom Ye Liyuan supported in the court.
As long as they put pressure on the emperor, Ye Jinjue will definitely release Ye Liyuan as soon as possible.
Bai Qiqian returned to the other courtyard with peace of mind, planning to wait until Ye Liyuan returned to the palace before she would go back with him. These days, her nerves have been in a tense state, and she should have a good rest.
Bai Qiqian took a hot bath and then lay down on the bed to rest.
When she was dreaming, she also dreamed that she and Ye Liyuan were living happily together, and the corners of their mouths were filled with smiles.
At night, beautiful palace lanterns sway in the cold wind, and candlelight shines.
Zhuge Lanling stood up straight and walked into the palace. Although his steps were firm, his heart was agitated.
This time, Ye Jinjue came to him to talk about something. Zhuge Lanling still knew some people in the palace and had already learned some things in advance, so when he heard Ye Jinjue mention that topic, he
Just a wry smile.
Ye Jinjue asked intimately: "Zhuge Aiqing, I think it's time for you to get married?"
Zhuge Lanling thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, actually I have been married for a long time." Thinking about it, he and Yan Sanniang have been entangled for several years.
Ye Jinjue was a little surprised: "Didn't your wife run away a long time ago? Oh, Zhuge Aiqing, I will marry my beloved Princess Xianya to you. I wonder what you think?" If it can be used
For Ye Jinjue, it was worthwhile for a princess to leave Zhuge Lanling.
Zhuge Lanling knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, actually I came to the palace this time to ask the Emperor for something."
Ye Jinjue's eyes flickered for a long time, and his voice was somewhat cold: "Say."
Zhuge Lanling glanced at Ye Jinjue: "Your Majesty, I want to resign from the position of imperial physician."
Ye Jinjue heard what Zhuge Lanling said and slowly stood up: "Why do you want to resign from the position of imperial physician? Give me a reason."
Zhuge Lanling sighed softly: "The emperor also knows that the relationship between the minister and the emperor is just a transaction."
Ye Jinjue asked: "I will marry my most beloved sister to you, but you can't believe me?"
Although he and Zhuge Lanling had a short-lived cooperative relationship because of a transaction, Ye Jinjue still wanted to keep Zhuge Lanling. After all, this was the time when he needed talents.
Zhuge Lanling raised his head: "It's not that I can't trust the emperor, but can the emperor trust me? Your Majesty, don't forget that Ye Liyuan and I have known each other for many years, otherwise I won't do this for the emperor easily this time.
matter."
Ye Jinjue laughed: "Don't worry, I can definitely trust you."
Zhuge Lanling still shook his head: "Even if the emperor trusts me, I don't want to stay in the court. Instead of letting me interact with everyone in the court, I yearn for a pastoral life. I hope the emperor will grant your permission.
minister."
Ye Jinjue stared at Zhuge Lanling for a long time: "I am really disappointed in you."
After a long time, Ye Jinjue whispered: "You betrayed Ye Liyuan. He will definitely regard you as a thorn in his flesh in the future. You might as well do things for me."
Zhuge Lanling still knelt on the ground motionless: "I long for a pastoral life, and I hope that the emperor will make it happen."
Ye Jinjue was a little angry. No one had ever dared to ignore his good intentions so much.
But this Zhuge Lanling is so proud that no matter how much he breaks it, he will keep breaking it. Looking at him, Ye Jinjue finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it, since you only want to live a pastoral life, then I will help you."
Zhuge Lanling kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I am deeply grateful."
After saying that, Zhuge Lanling left the palace. Ye Jinjue looked at his back with some regret, it was such a pity for such talents.
But that's fine, at least he won't do anything for Ye Liyuan.
Thinking of this, Ye Jinjue smiled proudly.
Zhuge Lanling took advantage of the night and hurried to the sky prison. Ye Liyuan was imprisoned in a small and quiet place, which was isolated from the outside. However, the environment inside was still quite good, which also showed that his prince's
identity.
Zhuge Lanling still had the token given to him by Ye Jinjue, so he entered the prison without any difficulty.
When he entered, Ye Liyuan was resting with his eyes closed.
There was a faint scent of medicine floating in the cell. Ye Liyuan rested one hand on the stacked books, and the other hand fell on his knees. He was half buried in his arms, his beautiful eyebrows were closed, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Zhuge Lanling shook his shoulders: "Li Yuan, Li Yuan, wake up."
Ye Liyuan was startled, sat up, and looked at Zhuge Lanling in confusion, unable to regain his senses for a moment.
Zhuge Lanling laughed, took a step forward and shook him: "Li Yuan, you also slept like this in the prison. It seems that you have been doing quite well recently."
Ye Liyuan said somewhat, "I didn't notice you walked in just now. If you were an assassin, I'm afraid my life would be over." Ye Liyuan stood up, turned his head, looked at the things placed aside, and didn't have time to drink.
After finishing the medicine, he asked, "Lan Ling, has that medicine been tampered with?"
Ye Liyuan suffered from a severe cough in the prison.
Ye Jinjue sends someone to deliver medicine every day.
Zhuge Lanling walked over, picked up the medicine bowl and smelled it: "It just added some soothing ingredients, nothing serious."
Ye Liyuan sneered: "Of course I know that Ye Jinjue doesn't dare to take action against me now. If I die and those people rebel, he will have a headache for a while."
Zhuge Lanling patted him on the shoulder: "Li Yuan, many ministers in the court are interceding for you now. You will be released in a few days."
This had long been expected by Ye Liyuan.
Ye Liyuan turned around and looked at him: "By the way, why did you go to the prison today?"
Zhuge Lanling smiled like a fox: "I have clearly told Ye Jinjue that I yearn for a pastoral life, and he agreed to let me go."
Ye Liyuan was very surprised: "He would actually let you go?"
Zhuge Lanling grinned: "Yeah, I thought there would be some setbacks, but I didn't expect him to let me go like that. It seems that he was too confident in his own ideas, and he actually insisted that the relationship between you and me is the same.
Water and fire.”
This is where Ye Jinjue becomes arrogant, thinking that he has everything under control.
