Seeing King Jing looking at him, the secret guard hurriedly said, "Anyuanhou's sister and the concubine Shu from the East Palace came together.
But they were never seen entering the city. They might have gone directly into the mountains. "
"Anyuanhou's sister? The one who was given a marriage to Prince Rong?"
Yami nodded.
They received news from the capital that said there was only one Marquis Anyuan in the capital, and he should be that person.
"This is interesting. A girl who was just given a marriage, instead of staying in the capital to be married, actually followed her to Yongzhou and got involved with that guy from the Lan family."
King Jing placed his hands on his lower abdomen and tapped his lower abdomen habitually with his fingers. His lower abdomen was kicked so hard last night that it hurt whenever he touched it.
The pain made him a little irritable, "Have you found out Prince Rong's attitude towards this marriage?"
"After being hit by bone-splitting poison twice, King Rong's condition has become more serious. It is said that he is now awake for less than an hour a day.
Dong Zang knelt in the Cining Palace for a day, wanting to ask the Queen Mother to make the decision to let the man from the Anyuan Marquis Mansion marry Prince Rong immediately, in order to celebrate Prince Rong's happiness. The Queen Mother ignored him, but the Marquis Anyuan gave Dong Zang a good beating. . "
Thinking of this, the secret guard said, "My lord, do you think Anyuanhou's sister wants to use this to escape from her marriage?"
After thinking about the impression of Du Xueyi, he was indeed not a man who was greedy for power. If Shi Yu didn't live long, he would not marry his only sister to Prince Rong's palace, even if he had a good relationship with Shi Yu.
But the imperial edict has been issued, so the best way is to delay it. After Shi Yu dies, the marriage can only be abandoned. How can it be possible to agree to get married in advance.
But whether Chang Qingnian came to Yongzhou to escape from marriage, or if he had other purposes, King Jing did not know for the time being, and ordered, "Send someone to check their whereabouts.
Send more people to the princess. If what happened last night is really related to Yan Lan and the others, I'm afraid they will protect Wei Wanyi today. "
He didn't know how good Chang Qing Nian was in Kung Fu, but King Jing had seen Lan Shu's skills many years ago.
If Yan Lan was accompanied by a master, he was really not sure whether she did what happened last night.
The Protectorate Army has always protected their shortcomings, and this behavior affects them from top to bottom, and then affects their families.
Yan Lan has lived in the Wei family for many years, and there is no guarantee that she will not help Wei Wanyi out of gratitude for General Wei's kindness in taking him in.
After receiving the order, the secret guard quickly ordered his subordinates to divide their troops into two groups.
Investigate Yan Lan and the others, and pretend to be assassins to intercept Wei Wanyi.
The person who was just checking Yan Lan's whereabouts soon returned to Prince Jing's study, "Your Majesty, Yan Lan and his party are here."
Yan Lan came to meet Mrs. Wei Xiao and Wei Wanyi.
King Jing was covered in wounds and wanted to send the butler to see them, but something came to his mind and he finally took a soft sedan to the front hall to meet the guests.
Yan Lan was obviously taken aback when she saw Prince Jing, and asked hesitantly, "Prince Jing?"
King Jing saw the shock on the faces of several people. He felt that he had never been so embarrassed as he was today, but his doubts about Yan Lan and the others also eased a bit.
He forced himself to calm down, maintained the prince's dignity, and nodded.
After confirming that it was Prince Jing, Yan Lan and others hurriedly saluted, and then Yan Lan asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"
Her eyes were concerned and seemed to be a little scrutinizing.
King Jing's eyes fell on her face, "There was an assassin in the mansion last night, and I was injured without noticing."
"Where did this madman come from so boldly that he dared to attack the prince?" Yan Lan's face was full of disbelief.
King Jing shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.
The room was silent for a while, and Yan Lan tried to speak but stopped.
Seeing this, King Jing said calmly, "I heard that you are here to see the princess and mother. Unfortunately, the princess and mother-in-law just left for Beijing this morning. I wonder if those who are here have other matters. ?”
"We also came to the palace, and then we found out that the wife and the princess had returned to Beijing..." Yan Lan was in a dilemma.
After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to muster up courage and said, "To be honest with the prince, Yan Lan is indeed here to visit them, but she also has something to ask for.
Liu He said that the deposed queen sent people to kill my brother, but Liu He had no actual evidence except verbal identification. The deposed queen never admitted it and committed suicide out of fear of guilt.
I originally came to Yongzhou to look for my brother's bones with the intention of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, I actually found them in the mountains.
It's pity that my brother was killed by an adulterer and was eaten by wild animals after his death. It's really hard for me to swallow this breath.
Yongzhou is the realm of the prince. Maybe someone saw his brother being killed, or there may be some physical evidence.
Yan Lan knew that it was presumptuous to speak like this, but please help Yan Lan for the sake of the general protecting the country and the fact that my brother sacrificed himself for the Wei Dynasty. "
After saying that, she knelt down on one knee.
After King Jing pondered for a moment, he asked, "You said that your brother was eaten by wild beasts, so how did you identify his bones?"
Yan Lan took out the commander's seal of the Protector General's Mansion from his arms, "This is Qingyan's commander's seal. With my brother's loyalty to Qing Yan, he will not give the commander's seal to anyone else casually.
And Liu He also confessed that my brother went to Ganzhou with his commander-in-chief to mobilize troops that day, but was chased by Wu Yuchu and his wife. He had to come to Yongzhou to seek help from the prince, not wanting to be forced into the mountains by the queen's secret guards, so..."
The guards of Jing Dynasty took a look, and the guards hurriedly sent the handsome seal to him.
The moment he saw the handsome seal clearly, his eyes brightened, and he quickly lowered his eyes to examine it for a moment before saying, "I am ashamed to say that I have never seen the handsome seal of the general protecting the country, and I really don't know whether it is true or not.
As for what you said, I will try my best to send people to investigate, but you must be mentally prepared. I, an idle person, may not be able to find anything. "
Yan Lan seemed to be really desperate. After hearing this, she was very grateful and said, "Yan Lan thanks the prince in advance."
Glancing at the injured Prince Jing, she added, "Since Madam and Wanyi are not here, Yan Lan will not disturb the Prince's recovery and will set off back to the capital."
King Jing thought of his plan for Wei Wanyi and was afraid that they would catch up and ruin his affairs. "It's better to rest in the mansion for one night and start again tomorrow morning."
Yan Lan seemed to want to refuse, but also wanted to ask for help from King Jing. She couldn't resist his kindness, so she looked at the people next to her in embarrassment.
Prince Jing also followed her line of sight, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is this? Where have I seen him before?"
Lan Shu cupped her hands and said, "Prince Jing has indeed met me. I lived in the East Palace for several years."
"Are you...are you Concubine Shu?" King Jing suddenly realized and hurriedly raised his hand to Lan Shu, "I have met Sister-in-law Shu."
Lan Shu smiled and said, "I am just a river girl now. I don't deserve King Jing to be so polite. King Jing can just call me Lan Shu."
"How dare you do this? I will never forget Senior Lan's protective feelings back then."
King Jing's attitude was humble, "I heard that my senior has returned to Zhujian Villa and it is inconvenient for me to enter. I have always been concerned about him. I wonder how my senior has been doing these past few years?"
Hearing what he said, Lan Shu also remembered that she had secretly helped King Jing once when he was raped by another prince.
For her, it was really not worth mentioning, so she smiled lightly and said, "Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Now that we have finished talking about Yan Lan, we will go back first."
"Senior is joking. Now that we are here, how dare we let senior go back without even having a sip of tea?"
Without waiting for Lan Shu to refuse, she said to the housekeeper who was standing by, "Go and tidy up a few yards so that Senior Lan and the others can be accommodated properly, and prepare some food and wine..."
Just at this time, the guard came in nervously and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, something happened."
