"Your Highness, Your Highness, please wake up!"
Xiao Yun opened his eyes suddenly, but could only open a crack and saw some overlapping blurry figures.
The dizzy blood makes everything terrifying.
She felt a sharp pain in her forehead, but felt that the pain had nothing to do with her.
A green object came close to her eyes, and Xiao Yun closed her eyes subconsciously.
The fine silk wetted with warm water gently wiped her eyes, brushing away the blood dripping from her forehead, and then pressed it against her eyelids in a soothing manner for a while.
In such meticulousness and consideration, Xiao Yun gradually found himself.
I remember correctly, she should be a dead person now.
The story begins when she learns that the Bermuda Triangle is actually a media hoax.
In order to commemorate her lost childhood and break this superstition, she boarded a ship to Bermuda.
Then he got caught in a storm with the ship and was swallowed into the sea.
Not only did it fail to break the superstition, it also became a citationable document.
Xiao Yun sighed deeply in his heart, and another memory appeared in his mind.
She should still be dead.
This incident begins with the sudden announcement by the current emperor of Shengguo that he would establish a prince.
It is said that the Ninth Prince Xiao Yun has been secretly appointed, and after just a few days of building momentum, the emperor will naturally make her the crown prince with the support of "public opinion".
As a prince disguised as a man, she rejected this very much.
But her brothers didn't feel her rejection.
So she was assassinated.
He dodged open shots and hidden arrows, but he didn't avoid a jade pendant that was smashed from the roof of the restaurant and could be used as a brick.
Perhaps it was the dead person + the dead person that brought about the effect of making a positive out of a negative, and Xiao Yun came back to life.
The person who occupies the main cognition is the modern Xiao Yun, so for her, she has changed from a modern person to a pampered and favored prince.
Xiao Yun in ancient times was just like her previous life, with vivid memories, but it was as if she was separated by a screen and it was difficult to empathize with her.
Although there are some troubles between a woman disguising herself as a man and the unofficial identity of the prince, the former has not overturned for so many years, and the problem will not be big in the future. The latter can be solved with just a statement and a little operation.
After all, she has so many brothers, and the emperor has not officially announced the candidate for the crown prince.
Xiao Yun quickly accepted this identity.
It was probably a bonus of traveling through time. After she figured it all out, the pain on her forehead quickly went away and healed at a speed that could be called a miracle.
After shooing away the imperial doctor who had a look of "Did I drink too much or did the gods appear?", she got up from the bed and prepared to inspect her 50,000-square-meter palace.
After the imperial doctor said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince is fine," no one had any objections to her decision and advised her to continue resting.
Four maids standing on one side came forward, dressed her in layers of gorgeous clothes, embellished them with pearls and gold ornaments, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle in the new clothes.
Because the head was wrapped in a bandage, the crown was skipped.
The polished, full-length bronze mirror reflected her current appearance.
Young and handsome.
He was half a head taller than the maids beside him.
Even with her hair down and her face pale, she doesn't have much femininity, and she also has an Adam's apple that is rare among women.
This is because she has been taking certain drugs that promote the secretion of male hormones since she was a child, and has been living as a man to this day.
A very successful cross-dressing of a woman as a man.
As long as he doesn't become a prince or emperor who must have heirs, this lie can continue.
Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the door.
Someone was following her, keeping a distance that could protect her from danger at any time.
She looked back at him.
The man was wearing a blue shorts, his hair was tied up, and he was dressed like a man, but his figure was slim and his appearance was pretty, so he looked like a woman at first glance.
Xiao Yun failed to find the other party's information from his memory, but he found the appearance of the original guard.
Different from this guy.
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows: "You look a little unfamiliar."
"Mo Ling failed to protect his master and has been executed. My slave Mo Yi will be guarding you for the time being. If you are free, you can choose again."
Mo Ling and Mo Yi are both dead soldiers raised by the royal family.
The original owner was almost beaten to death. Mo Ling, who was following him at the time, bore the brunt of the execution, and the others probably also received heavy punishments.
Although this way, the difference between her and the original owner could be better concealed, but Xiao Yun still felt a little uncomfortable when someone died like this.
She frowned, and quickly reached out to touch her forehead, pretending that she had a headache, and then responded lightly: "Well, you can stay with me for a while, and then change."
Mo Yi: "Thank you, Master."
Xiao Yun's enthusiasm for visiting the palace was much dispelled. She walked through the corridors and asked in a casual tone the topics she should be concerned about.
"Who is the person who smashed me? Where is he now?"
"This is Yang Yu, the third son of Lord Zhisu Neishi Yang."
"He had a conflict with someone on the rooftop of Zhaixinglou, and accidentally dropped the jade pendant during the dispute. After investigation, it was found that the person who had the conflict was his sister's fiancé. Not long ago, he and the Yang family expressed their intention to break off the engagement. This is where the dispute comes from.”
"Yang Yu is now in the dungeon of the palace."
Zhisu Neishi is one of the Nine Qings, in charge of money, grain and related taxes.
Zhaixinglou is the tallest restaurant in the capital, with a total of ten floors. All the dignitaries come in and out. There is only one room on the top floor, and competition has always been fierce.
It is not unusual for the son of Zhisu Neishi to appear on the top floor of Zhaixing Tower.
It's normal for him to wear such a large jade pendant.
It is completely logical for him to have a physical conflict with a man who wants to break off the engagement with his sister.
"From this point of view, it is indeed a coincidence." Xiao Yun said meaningfully, and pointed out the strangeness, "How could Mr. Yang be willing to let his son be imprisoned in the palace directly?"
Zhisu Naishi is considered a high-ranking official. When the suspicion of murder is not high, shouldn't he bring someone to the door to apologize? Why did he directly leave his son's life and death in the hands of the victim?
Mo Yi: "Master Yang has more than a dozen sons from his wives and concubines. Although Yang Yu's mother was a concubine, she passed away at the beginning of the year."
Xiao Yun suddenly realized.
I have enough sons, and it won’t hurt if one of them dies.
She said, "In addition to explaining what happened, does Yang Yu have anything else to say?"
"He asked Mrs. Chen if she had gone to the house to officially break off the engagement."
"Then did Chen retreat?"
"Ms. Chen went to the Yang Mansion to negotiate, and Mistress He agreed verbally, but she has not returned the token and Geng Tie."
Xiao Yun pondered for a while: "Send someone to follow up on this matter, then pull Yang Yu out of the dungeon, tidy up and take him to the flower hall, where I will meet him."
She was in a coma for seven days.
With all the personal guards executed, she didn't think Yang Yu would be in good condition.
that's the truth.
The young man kneeling in embarrassment in the hall had half-wet hair, his skin was "washed" white, and his eyes had no luster.
He was wearing a loose men's clothing that covered his skin completely.
But the shocking scars can still be seen from the collar.
Xiao Yun sat at the top, propped his head, and casually found a sentence to start: "As the young master of the Yang family, you must have never suffered such a crime, right?"
Yang Yu sipped the water droplets that fell on his lips and said with a wry smile: "Yu almost thought that he would be buried with His Highness, but now it seems that there is still room for struggle."
"Please be more cooperative." Xiao Yun said, "I think you should rush back home. Because of your matter, Mrs. Chen has a very strong desire to cancel the engagement. It will only take these two days to complete the process."
He was so shocked that he wanted to stand up, but was pushed back in an instant.
Perhaps the wound was pressed, and Yang Yu's face turned paler.
"What does Your Highness need me to do with you?" His attitude became more positive, "Even if I am asked to admit that I was instigated by someone else, I am willing to do so."
Xiao Yun: "..."
Your bottom line and moral integrity are gone, young man!
She said helplessly: "I have two questions for you, just answer them truthfully."
"Okay, please ask, Your Highness."
Xiao Yun: "First, you said that you learned from the restaurant owner that Chen An had dinner on the top floor for several days in a row, and then you decided to go to the top floor to block him. Why was it the day before yesterday?"
Yang Yu: "Because until the day you were injured, Chen An was alone on the top floor. With his status, he did not have the ability to monopolize the top floor of the Star Building one after another, so he was taking advantage of others. When he was with that person, I Can’t go up.”
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know. Every time I get to the eighth floor, I'm not allowed to go up. When they leave, they don't go through the main entrance of the Star Building. I can only look up and see blurry figures on the nearby street."
"That should be a woman." Yang Yu said this, his face turned ugly, "Chen An must have fallen in love with a noble girl from some family, so he broke off the engagement with my sister."
The Yang family is considered a good family, but they have too many brothers and sisters, and they have lost their mother, so their status in the family is gradually declining.
The dissatisfaction among the families who had originally planned to in-law was obvious.
"Praising the high and suppressing the low is a very logical development."
Xiao Yun nodded: "Secondly, apart from the incident at the Star Reaching Tower, what else left a deep impression on you that day?"
The interrogation questions mainly revolved around the motive, course of action and interpersonal relationships.
The characters you come into contact with are also among them.
However, characters that have nothing to do with the event or have clear labels on them will be subconsciously ignored.
If the incident of Xiao Yun being hit by the jade pendant was an artificial coincidence, then there must be a more precise fuse that could immediately ignite Yang Yu.
She wanted to know what made him so emotional that he immediately rushed to the Star Building to fight Chen An.
Yang Yu was a little hesitant, but his worry about his sister left him too busy to care about anything else, and he quickly told the truth: "Before I left the Yang Mansion, my sister gave me a jade pendant and said that if I met Chen An, she would give the jade pendant to me as a gift. He. She... didn't know at that time that the Chen family intended to cancel the engagement. "
Because the Chen family came to test the situation first and had no intention of breaking off the engagement immediately, his sister had always been reclusive and was easily concealed.
Unexpectedly, my sister still admired Chen An as her fiancé.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun took out the jade pendant that had hit him and looked at it: "The flower carved on it turns out to be curled ears... No wonder."
"The Book of Songs: Juan'er" describes a woman's endless wait for her lover.
Compared with "Jian Jia" and "Tao Yao", "Juan Er" is a relatively unpopular love poem. The secret guard in charge of the interrogation had no problem with reading and breaking sentences, but he could not learn such elegant things.
This jade pendant was broken and then glued together. In addition, Yang Yu subconsciously avoided content related to his sister, so this important clue was ignored.
As for Miss Yang Ba, a woman who lives at home and is deeply involved in the divorce crisis, no one would think there is anything wrong with her.
The gossip in this society can kill people.
Xiao Yun felt that Miss Yang Ba probably played an indispensable role in this accident.
Yang Yu's sister must have commissioned the jade pendant to be carved by a jade craftsman.
The time when the jade craftsman delivers the jade pendant can be controlled.
Judging from the allusions she quoted, she missed Chen An very urgently, so as soon as she got the jade pendant, she would go to him to deliver it to him.
In this way, the time when Yang Yu goes out can be controlled.
As for the time when the jade pendant falls, it can be controlled through verbal stimulation and physical guidance.
Xiao Yun had a guess about the method of committing the crime, but he could not rule out the possibility of coincidence.
At this time, the secret guard who went to Yang Mansion to inquire about news rushed back.
"Your Highness, the eighth young lady of the Yang family committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, killing one body and two lives."
"How is that possible?!" Yang Yu couldn't accept the news at all. He wanted to grab the person's collar and question him, but was ruthlessly suppressed.
He collapsed on the ground and said "how is it possible" one sentence after another. As he went on, his voice became smaller and smaller, and then he broke down and cried.
"Yang Yu." Xiao Yun came over and kicked him. Seeing that he was indifferent, he stepped on the bleeding spot on his shoulder and forced him to face him, "Listen to me first."
She: "I'll help you kill Chen An, how about you work for me?"
From feeling uncomfortable about executing a person at will to deciding a person's life and death based on one's own will, perhaps all one needs to realize is that "the existing laws cannot punish this scumbag."
Yang Yu's tears gradually stopped, and from his hoarse voice, he squeezed out a word like a ghost crying: "Okay."
In his vision blurred by tears, His Highness Ninth Prince's curved lips and smile became clearer and clearer.
He is obviously handsome and elegant in appearance, but there is a lot of evil in his eyebrows.
