"Okay! I, the prince, will trust you for now. Someone, please take Zhu Ling to the side room for safekeeping. No one is allowed to approach without my order!"
After saying this, two boys came in from outside the door and took Zhu Ling down, one from the left and the other from the right.
Yun Yan, who wanted to avoid it, saw that Zhu Ling had been taken away, so he limped in.
"Master, did you believe Zhu Ling?" Yun Yan asked.
Yu Wenyi glanced at Yun Yan coldly and said: "This prince only believes in evidence. Go and order people to search closely near the back mountain of Qinglian Mountain to see if there are any traces of anyone living here."
"Yes, Yun Yan will go to Qinglian Mountain to investigate."
Over there, the Fourth Prince's Mansion had just taken action, and here, Ye Yun received the news.
Hearing that the people from the Fourth Prince's Mansion left the city and headed towards Qinglian Mountain, Ye Yun's hands twirling the grapes paused, then he sat up from the imperial concubine chair and said to Chu Ci: "Spread the word and say that someone was in Dali the night before yesterday." A seriously injured masked man was seen near the temple."
"Princess wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?" Bai Zhi asked doubtfully.
Ye Yun shook his head and said enigmatically: "No, not only will I not kill her, on the contrary, I want her to live well."
In the evening, Yun Yan and his two servants returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion after a long journey. When they came out of the stables, Yun Yan stopped a maid and asked, "Where is the master?"
"The fourth prince is in the study."
Hearing this, Yun Yan dragged one leg and ran straight to the study.
When Yun Yan came in, Yu Wenyi was leaning back on the chair with his eyes closed to relax. When he heard a noise, Yu Wenyi opened his eyes. He glanced at Yun Han sideways, sat up slowly and said, "Have you checked it out?"
Yun Han cupped his hands and said, "Back to my master, Yun Han led people to search the entire back mountain, but no trace of anyone staying overnight was found."
As soon as Yun Yan finished speaking, another young man came in from outside the door. The young man walked straight to Yu Wenyi and whispered a few words in his ear. Yu Wenyi's expression suddenly changed drastically. He had a cold face and a cruel look on the corner of his mouth. He smiled and said to Yun Yan: "Go and drag that bitch to the back mountain of Qinglian and bury him alive on the spot!"
Yun Yan was shocked. He raised his head suddenly and met Yu Wenyi's bloodthirsty eyes. He was so frightened that he was confused. He quickly said "yes" and hurriedly exited the study.
Late at night, a carriage sneaked out from the back door of the Fourth Prince's Mansion and headed towards the city gate. Almost at the same time as the carriage drove out, several black shadows passed over the Fourth Prince's Mansion and chased the carriage.
The bright moon is thousands of miles away, and the soft silver glow passes through the gaps between the branches and reflects in the dense grass, giving off a faint green color. Looking from a distance, it is quiet and peaceful.
However, with the intrusion of a carriage, the silence of Qinglian Mountain was quickly broken.
"Okay, let's do it here." Yun Yan directed the carriage to stop between the woods, and then jumped off the carriage path: "Start digging."
As soon as he finished speaking, three boys with shovels emerged from the carriage. They picked up the shovels and started digging at the place pointed by Yun Yan.
Due to long-term hard work, the three men dug very quickly. In less than two sticks of incense, there was a deep hole more than three feet deep in the ground.
Yun Yan stood on the edge and looked down. Seeing that he was almost digging, he waved his hand and said, "Come up."
The three of them climbed out of the pit with the help of the coachman, while Yun Yan himself walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and pulled the Bamboo Ling out of the carriage whose hands and feet were bound and her mouth was gagged.
With a "bang", Zhu Ling fell to the ground. She glared angrily at Yun Yan and made a whining sound from her mouth stuffed with strips of cloth.
Seeing this, Yun Yan raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth and said: "Don't blame me, I am also acting under orders. Who told you to betray the master? For the sake of you and me getting to know each other, don't worry, I It will make you go faster."
After saying that, Yun Yan glanced at the boy behind him. The latter understood, picked up the handle of the spade and hit Zhu Ling on the back of the head, knocking her unconscious.
Looking at Zhu Ling lying on the ground, pity flashed in Yun Yan's eyes. Everyone in the house knew that Zhu Ling was the master's favorite concubine. In the past, he would send all the delicious and delicious food to Shuyuan, but In the end, he didn't end up being buried alive!
As the saying goes, when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs will be cooked. Looking at the Zhu Ling today, Yun Yan couldn't help but think of himself tomorrow, and felt a lot for a moment.
"Servant Yun, do you want to bury this person?" The young man behind him asked after waiting for a long time without seeing Yun Han's order.
Hearing this, Yun Yan sighed softly and said, "Let's do it."
The boy hurriedly lifted the bamboo ling and threw it into the pit, then picked up the shovel and filled the pit again.
"Let's go back home."
After saying this, several people jumped on the carriage and left Qinglian Mountain in a short while.
After Yun Yan and others walked away, several black shadows jumped down from the trees. Chu Ci glanced at the deep pit that had just been filled and said: "Pit!"
After giving the order, all the dragoon guards immediately took out their swords and started digging.
In less than half a cup of tea, someone discovered the buried bamboo ling in the mud, and with the help of everyone, they pulled her out of the mud pit.
Looking at the person whose body was covered with new mud and whose face could not be recognized, Chu Ci squatted down and reached out to explore Zhu Ling's nose. When he found that Zhu Ling was not breathing, he paused with his fingers on Zhu Ling's nose and immediately helped Zhu Ling up. , a slap to the back.
"Cough...cough cough..."
With one palm strike, the man who had lost his breath suddenly started coughing violently. The sound became more violent and rapid every time. It took a long time before he calmed down.
Feeling Zhu Ling's gradually steady breathing, Chu Ci stood up and lifted the person up from the ground. Then he handed the person over to a dragon knight guard and said, "Let's go!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a dark shadow passing under the moon, and soon disappeared.
In the study room of the Princess Mansion, Ye Yun suddenly heard a noise outside the window and was about to call Chu Ci's name. Unexpectedly, the person who came in was Long San, who had been missing for several days.
Looking at Long San, Ye Yun's eyes first showed a hint of surprise and then immediately turned into joy: "You're back?"
Long San knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
"Then what happened after Japan Palace left Fuyuan Gambling House? Why were you missing for several days in a row?"
"Feng Yuchun was knocked unconscious and thrown into the Hui Canal outside the city. When his subordinates rescued him, he was already in critical condition. Therefore, his subordinates had no choice but to take him to a farmer for treatment, so he was delayed for several days." Long San said coldly.
"I see, where is Feng Yuchun now?"
"Before returning home, my subordinates have sent him home."
"Okay, I understand. You have worked hard these days. Go down and rest first."
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long San disappeared out of thin air again.
After Long San left, Ye Yun sat in the study for a while. Seeing that Chu Ci still hadn't come back, he returned to Fengyang Pavilion.
In front of the desk, Bai Zhi picked out the slightly tilted wick, and then looked at Ye Yun, who was sitting beside him holding a storybook and reading with gusto. He shook his head slightly and sighed: "Princess, it's getting late. Don't wait any longer. Let's go to bed first." .”
With his eyes still on the paper, Ye Yun said: "You go down and rest first, I will wait."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi didn't know what to say anymore, Fu Fu Shen went down.
