Chapter 424 Miao Yi is gone
Nan Xuan's words instantly reminded Yun Ran of the scene she had seen on the mural, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Tsk, something's going on." Nan Xuan smiled slyly and glanced at Ye Jingzhen who was following behind Yun Ran. "Have you learned bad habits, kid? Did you do something bad last night?!"
Ye Jingzhen looked back at him with cold eyes and said indifferently: "It's very cold in the underground palace. What can we do?"
"It's because it's cold that it's easier to do things." Nan Xuan narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes and leaned close to Ye Jingzhen and said, "Hey, you two are engaged, what's there to hide?"
Ye Jingzhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Practice whip techniques and sword techniques."
Nan Xuan:...? ? ?
He scratched his ears, wondering if he had heard it wrongly.
The tomb is so huge and eerie, a man and a woman alone in the same room, isn't that a good opportunity to promote feelings?
His stupid disciple and silly girl just practiced whip and sword techniques for an entire night?
While he was stunned, Ye Jingzhen had already chased Yun Ran a long way away.
Nan Xuan quickly caught up with him and was about to ask him if he was still young and didn't understand the ways of the world, and if he wanted to read some relevant teaching books or something.
Ye Jingzhen suddenly turned around, stared at him with sharp eyes, and mouthed a warning: If you dare to talk nonsense in front of Ranran, don't blame me for being disrespectful to your teacher!
Nan Xuan:......
He smiled and waved his hands, "Oh, I was just kidding, why are you so fierce?"
The two of them sent Yun Ran all the way back to Shanhai Tower. Chang Li, Yun Sanlang, Yin Qianlan, and Yun Chengxi gathered in the lobby on the first floor, staring at the door.
As soon as he saw Yun Ran and the others coming back, the dejection on his face disappeared without a trace, and Yun Chengxi even ran out with his short legs.
"Sister! Sister f...His Royal Highness Prince Jing'an!"
Yun Ran reached out and held the heavy little ball in his arms: "I'm sorry to have made Chengxi worried."
"Mom and Dad are almost crying!" Yun Chengxi sniffed and looked up with a sense of grievance. "Mom said that if you don't come back, she will go to the capital and ask the emperor for you!"
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Yun Ran touched Yun Chengxi's head and smiled.
Yin Qianlan sniffed and looked at Ye Jingzhen who was standing next to Yun Ran: "Thank you, Your Highness, for seeing me off all the way."
Yun Sanlang also said, "Your Highness, thank you for taking care of my daughter again. Your Highness, please come in and have a seat, drink some tea, and rest your feet."
"No need, I still have things to do. I'll come to see Ranran, Chengxi and the two elders when I have time." Ye Jingzhen said.
Yun Sanlang and Yin Qianlan did not force Ye Jingzhen to stay and sent him out safely.
After a day and a night of hard work, Yun Ran was now exhausted. She sat at a table in the lobby on the first floor, drinking the hot tea poured for her by Uncle Chang.
The lonely king shook his head and rubbed against her, acting coquettishly.
Yun Ran was stroking the lonely king and suddenly felt that something was missing.
She called out to Jiuyue, who was carrying dishes downstairs, "Sister Jiuyue, where is Sister Miaoyi?"
Jiu Yue served the guests the dishes, then came over to her and said, "Miao Yi, she waited for you to be taken away by Eunuch An yesterday, and then she left with Ka Bei."
"Gone?" Yun Ran was slightly stunned. The departure was so sudden.
However, when I thought about what I said to my second brother and master that night, I thought it through.
Presumably, Miao Yi learned that King Nanlin was coming to Dakang, so she left Shanhai Tower and went to find a new hiding place.
"Did she leave anything behind?"
September shook her head: "It seems not."
"Did they leave anything for you to relay?"
Jiu Yue continued to shake her head: "It seems not."
"Okay." Yun Ran ruffled the lonely king's fur and sighed softly.
Fortunately, my second brother is not here, otherwise, Miao Yi would leave without saying goodbye, and my second brother would probably be sad.
On the other hand, Ye Jingzhen left Shanhai Tower, but did not immediately return to his Jing'an Palace, nor did he enter the palace.
He and Nan Xuan went to a Green Bean Shop on Kuizhou Street.
Nan Xuan still needs to conceal his identity when he goes out. Ye Jinghua previously exposed his portrait, so now he can only wear a veil or a human skin mask when he goes out on the street.
The two entered the shop, and Nan Xuan took off the veil on her face. The shop owner immediately knelt down in fear and let the two go to the backyard.
They served good tea and water, and handed over a thick stack of account books.
This is like treating Nan Xuan as someone who is here to check the accounts.
Nan Xuan pointed to the account book on the tray, waved his fingers, and then pointed to the exquisite snacks on the counter outside.
Without waiting for him to say anything, the shopkeeper immediately understood, took the account book away, and replaced it with several plates of exquisitely crafted snacks.
"Pavilion Master, Your Highness, please enjoy your meal."
After saying that, he considerately closed the door for the two of them and disappeared in a flash.
Nan Xuan is close to the fifth prince of the current dynasty, now His Royal Highness Prince Jing'an. This is no longer a secret in Xuantian Pavilion and Baidouxuan.
However, Nan Xuan kept the last layer of window paper of the master-disciple relationship tightly covered, for fear that someone with gossip would speak out and ruin the matter.
"Those black-clad assassins last night were all from the Five Poison Sect." Nan Xuan said straight to the point.
Ye Jingzhen said nothing, but took out the arrowhead he had brought with him and placed it on the table.
Nan Xuan picked it up and took a look, frowning: "This scent is very familiar."
Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows. He also felt it was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it before.
"It's impossible for the Five Poison Sect to assassinate me and Ranran without any guilt." Ye Jingzhen said.
"Do you have anyone you suspect?" Nan Xuan asked.
Ye Jingzhen hesitated for a moment: "Yes, but there is no evidence."
"Tell me about it?"
"Based on Ye Jinghua's behavior before what happened last night, the Five Poison Sect should be related to him."
Ye Jingzhen pondered for a moment and said, "His princess suddenly became pregnant, so my father excused him from guarding the mausoleum last night, leaving me and Ranran behind. Not long after everyone left, those people arrived."
At this point, he was suddenly stunned: "I think I know where that fragrance comes from."
"Oh?" Nan Xuan looked at him with interest, "Where did you come from?"
"My father's birthday banquet." Ye Jingzhen suddenly clenched his fists.
At Ye Cangling's birthday banquet, the hallucinogenic incense was burned in the incense burner on the table!
Although it was not exactly the same smell, this special aroma made him recognize it at once.
"It's the snake witch." Nan Xuan narrowed his eyes, cracking his knuckles. "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Heshun has started causing trouble again these days. What are you going to do?"
Ye Jingzhen took a sip of tea and said, "I've already asked Gao Ziyang to go to the palace to contact my elder brother. He will report to the emperor about the assassination of Ranran and me last night before Ye Jinghua goes to complain to him."
"However, I may have to trouble you to go to the Heshun Palace. I need evidence."
Nan Xuan looked at his serious expression and pouted: "You want me to raid his house? That's too dangerous!"
Ye Jingzhen felt a chill: "Are you going or not?"
