Chapter 198 Achen, you said he was poisoned, who did it?
Colosseum? There's actually a Colosseum in the capital? Where is it located? Jiang Nanyuan thought so as she followed the men in black out of the princess's residence.
They took these men out of the princess's mansion through the back door, tied them up, and then pulled them out of the city in a carriage.
Jiang Nanyuan sat on the top of the carriage and followed them out of the city to a secluded farm in the suburbs. The farm was very large. Jiang Nanyuan saw those people handing these men over to those people.
Those people checked the condition of these men, and then dragged them into the farm. Jiang Nanyuan followed them and saw that the people in the farm locked these men in the dungeon. Jiang Nanyuan saw some ferocious beasts locked in iron cages opposite the dungeon.
There were tigers, lions and wolves. When these animals saw the men, they bared their teeth and drooled, obviously having been hungry for several meals.
At the same time, there were the roars of ferocious beasts.
This was an underground dungeon. Jiang Nanyuan looked in another direction and found a large arena in another place. There was a ring in the middle, and rows of chairs below, surrounding the ring.
It seems that this is the Colosseum that Ji Lan mentioned. Those men are the playthings of these nobles, and they are asked to fight with beasts for the nobles to enjoy.
Now she finally understood why Ji Lan wanted to capture these men.
So that's why. It seems that more than just these men were arrested before. But why did she let the second son of the Liu family go?
Jiang Nanyuan was a little confused. Since she already knew that these men were here, she didn't stay here for long. She planned to go back and tell Xiao Yuchen and others about the situation here.
She guessed that Xu Wenhao was inside. She had never seen his appearance and didn't know who he was. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she still didn't go to recognize him.
It was already very late when he returned to the house. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuchen had not slept yet. He had been waiting in the house for Jiang Nanyuan to come back. Now that he saw her come back, he finally let go of his worries.
Seeing that Xiao Yuchen was still awake, Jiang Nanyuan told him about what happened in Ji Lan's mansion. He had never expected that there was an arena in the capital!
Seeing that Jiang Nanyuan had been talking about the Colosseum and hadn't mentioned the Imperial Palace, Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but ask, "Yuan, how was your trip to the Imperial Palace? Did you find the Snow Soul Ice Silkworm?"
Hearing him ask this, Jiang Nanyuan smiled and nodded, then asked him to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then asked Xiao Yuchen to draw the emperor's appearance.
After finishing the painting, Xiao Yuchen looked at the person in the portrait and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. The person in the portrait had closed eyes, and he vaguely thought that if those eyes were open, they might be a bit similar to his own.
Why did A Yuan ask me to draw this man? Thinking about Jiang Nanyuan's visit to the palace today, could this man be...
"Ayuan, do you also suspect that this person is the one my mother is looking for?" Otherwise, why would Ayuan ask me to draw his portrait.
Jiang Nanyuan nodded and yawned. "Well, I have some doubts. I'll ask your mother tomorrow. By the way, the emperor is poisoned. It's a chronic poison, not a rare poison. Yue Li should be fine. I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back to the bottle first."
Xiao Yuchen saw that Jiang Nanyuan was sleepy, so he nodded. When he saw her go in, he took the bottle and placed it next to his pillow, then closed his eyes and slept for a while.
After it was dawn outside, Xiao Yuchen went out with the portrait he had painted last night. He saw that Bai Ran and Lin Zhixue were already up. They were talking in the yard with their children. Xiao Yuchen walked over with the portrait and handed it to Bai Ran.
"Mom, look at this."
Bai Ran saw what was in Xiao Yuchen's hand. She wondered what it was. Before she could reach out to take it, Huanhuan in her arms had already stretched out her little hand to take the portrait.
Her chubby little hands held the drawing paper tightly and refused to let go. If Bai Ran took it, she would definitely tear it up.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen took the rattle on the table and teased the child. When the child heard the sound of the rattle, her attention was attracted and she instantly lost interest in the drawing paper. She let go of the drawing paper and turned her head towards Xiao Yuchen to grab the rattle.
Xiao Yuchen placed the rattle in his hand on hers, then hugged her. Bai Ran then had free hands to pick up the drawing paper on the ground.
When she saw the portrait on the drawing paper on the ground, she froze in place, her fingers trembling. She reached out and touched the portrait on the drawing paper with trembling hands. Her tears quickly wet the portrait and spread all over the paper.
Seeing Bai Ran crying, Xiao Yuchen had a rough idea in his mind. It seemed that this person was the one. He didn’t expect that he was actually the emperor!!!
Then doesn't my identity mean that I am the prince of Western Qin?
When he thought of this possibility, Xiao Yuchen's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Chen'er, where is he? Where did you see him? Can you take me to see him?" Bai Ran calmed down for a while, walked forward excitedly and held Xiao Yuchen's arm.
The person who had already given up hope of finding suddenly appeared before her. How could she not be excited?
Xiao Yuchen held the child in one hand and helped Bai Ran sit down with the other hand, then took the handkerchief from Qiuyue's hand.
"Mom, don't get excited first, wipe your face and listen to me slowly."
Bai Ran also knew that she had lost her composure. She took the handkerchief from Xiao Yuchen's hand and wiped the tears from her face, then waited for Xiao Yuchen to speak.
Lin Zhixue was sitting next to Bai Ran. Niannian in her arms saw Bai Ran crying and crawled towards Bai Ran. Seeing this, Lin Zhixue hugged him closer and saw Niannian stretching out his chubby little hands to wipe her tears.
Everyone smiled knowingly when they saw Nian Nian's actions, especially Bai Ran, who felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that the child could also see that she was in a bad mood and was using this method to comfort her.
When Huanhuan saw her brother like this, she also reached out to wipe Bai Ran.
When Bai Ran saw the two children scrambling to wipe her tears, her mood suddenly improved a lot.
She touched both children's heads and kissed them on the cheek.
"Good children." The two children giggled as if they understood what Bai Ran said.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuchen told them everything Jiang Nanyuan had discovered last night.
When Bai Ran heard that Ji Mingzhe might be the emperor, she was dumbfounded. If he was the emperor, he would definitely have many concubines in the harem.
Forget it, so many years have passed and I have let it go.
At least, his first time was with himself.
Bai Ran thought so, thinking that if it was in the past, she would definitely not be able to accept it, but now, a long time has passed, and she has been in the palace for so long, she is no longer qualified to ask him.
"Achen, you said he was poisoned, who did it?"
