Bei Mingxuan went to the study and took out a silver needle in his hand.
This needle is the one that broke the wine jug.
As soon as he came out of Tingyu Pavilion, he knew that someone had entered the mansion and was following him.
However, he was unwilling to reveal his true martial arts skills in front of others.
There was one thing Bei Mingxuan was certain of, that person was coming directly for the wine jug. It was so obvious that he must have known that he was poisoned.
Bei Mingxuan felt as if he had walked into a foggy forest.
It seems that I can see something, but it is always unclear. For example, I have been investigating the matter of my poisoning for so many years, but there is no news. Why do there appear clues at this time?
Is the appearance of this trace due to the appearance of Chang'an, or is it due to the temptation of the Qilin military talisman? After all, I will go to the South with Chang'an tomorrow, and many people know the news.
Bei Mingxuan sighed slightly, thinking about the day when Chang'an deliberately mentioned in front of the emperor that he wanted to take the Qilin military token back to the Southern Kingdom. If he thought about it carefully, he was still wrong.
At this time, Fu Cheng came back and went straight to Bei Mingxuan's study. As soon as he reached the door, before he could say anything, he heard Bei Mingxuan's instructions.
"Come in and answer."
"Yes." Fu Cheng came into the house and saw that Bei Mingxuan's face was pale and he was holding a wine jug in his hand. The wine jug was obviously the same one he had used before. "Your Highness, this was done by the person who sneaked into the palace at night."
"Someone has already gone to investigate." Bei Mingxuan raised a smile, "It's just hard for Chang'an. Now, can you tell me what Prime Minister Lin's reaction was when he saw that woman?"
"That woman is going to give birth in the next few days." Fu Cheng frowned slightly. "The mansion has already arranged a midwife, but I didn't expect that Minister Lin would actually order that the woman die in childbirth due to complications. If they can prove that the child is the prince's, I'm sure they will keep it."
Bei Mingxuan curled his lips without saying anything. There was nothing wrong with what Minister Lin did.
"Also, Lin Xiang was extremely dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Especially when he heard that woman say that the child she was carrying was the Crown Prince's, Lin Xiang almost fainted.
When deciding to execute the woman, Prime Minister Lin also looked reluctant.
Minister Lin has already sent people to investigate the origins of this woman and how she found her way to his residence."
Bei Mingxuan closed his eyes, as if resting, his hoarse voice lazily saying, "Did she say anything?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When I sent that woman to Prime Minister Lin's residence, I had already given her a drug. She won't remember what I look like. In her mind, the person who took her away from the brothel and sent her to Prime Minister Lin's residence must be the Fourth Prince and the First Prince.
"Okay. What happens next has nothing to do with us. Go and see if the princess is awake."
Fu Cheng went and came back soon, "Your Highness, the princess's fever has subsided, but she hasn't woken up yet."
Bei Mingxuan didn't say much, and Fu Cheng stayed quietly beside him. The moonlight shone on Bei Mingxuan's face, which was angular, handsome, bright, but also extremely lonely.
Fu Cheng sighed slightly in his heart, "My Lord, the princess is ill right now. If she wakes up and sees you by her side, I'm sure she will feel warm in her heart."
He knew very well that Bei Mingxuan had no shortage of loyal servants or profitable subordinates, but he lacked someone with whom he could talk. If that person was Chang'an, Fu Cheng would be happy to meet him.
A bystander sees more clearly than a participant. Fu Cheng saw clearly that his master had feelings for Chang'an, but he just didn't know it, or he just didn't want to admit it.
Bei Mingxuan seemed not to have heard what Fu Cheng had just said, "Have Fu Lin and the secret guards we sent out returned?"
Fu Chengchao glanced out the window and saw Fu Lin walking towards the study. "He's already waiting outside."
Fu Lin walked into the room and said, "Your Highness, Princess Lan is very happy to see you off. Qin went to the residence of General Qin. When I went there, she had not returned yet.
The secret guards received information that the night raid on the palace was indeed arranged by General Qin. Someone had used this arrow to shoot into General Qin's study and revealed to him that the prince had been poisoned. That's why General Qin sent someone to raid the palace at night and destroyed the prince's wine pot.
"You mean to say that someone has already known that the prince was poisoned. And the antidote must be the prince's wine?" Fu Cheng had never been so frightened as he was at this moment. If it was really exposed, would someone attack his master?
"If the Emperor finds out, then everything the Master has done over the years will be wasted. If it is really exposed, then His Majesty's life will be in the hands of others, right?"
Fu Cheng looked at Bei Mingxuan, only to see him looking thoughtfully at the arrow that Fu Lin had brought with him, his left thumb and index finger rubbing back and forth slowly.
Bei Mingxuan was undoubtedly thinking about this. After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the brothers Fu Lin and Fu Cheng. "Look at how sad you two look. Don't say you are my men when you go out."
Fu Lin and Fu Cheng lowered their heads, not daring to say another word, but the worry in their hearts was still heavy.
"It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is." As the voice fell, the door of the study was opened from the outside.
Bai Lu supported Chang'an and came to the study.
Chang'an's face was pale, but her eyes were still bright, with a hint of smile in the corners of her eyes. "I'm sorry, I happened to overhear the conversation between you two, the master and the servant."
Fu Lin and Fu Cheng were extremely respectful. "Your subordinates greet you, Princess."
Chang'an raised his hand, signaling the two. "Your master doesn't care, so why are you so nervous? Besides, how can all these years of hard work be wasted?"
Chang'an had a smile on his lips and his eyes were gentle, but deep in his eyes there was still a coldness like ice and snow that made people dare not approach him easily.
She looked at Bei Mingxuan and said, "Your master has never taken the emperor's 'attention' seriously. People always have to rely on themselves. If we wait for the emperor to pass on the throne, who knows how long it will take. Bei Mingxuan, what do you think?"
When Bei Mingxuan saw Chang'an, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. He walked to her side and held Chang'an's hand. "The fever just subsided, why did you come out?"
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Lu beside him, with a hint of anger in his words, "It's so cold outside, why don't you try to persuade them?"
"I know I was wrong, please punish me, Master." Bai Lu knelt down immediately.
Chang An shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and personally pulled up Bai Lu who was kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up and get up, this is not your fault."
Chang'an glanced at Bei Mingxuan and teased him deliberately.
"Bei Mingxuan, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You knew Bai Lu couldn't get my attention, but you still scolded her deliberately. What were you thinking? Did you want her to hate me like Fu Xue'er did? Or were you just pretending to do that in front of me?"
