Chapter 303 The Prince Has No Bed to Sleep On
Fu Zhaoning didn't ask much about what happened that year.
Now that she heard Xiao Lanyuan mention it, she realized that Fu Lin must have tried hard to defend herself in the past.
"Weren't you a baby at the time? Someone fed you soup?"
"Well, so Fu Lin's explanation at the time was that she smelled the fragrance of ginseng, and followed the smell to my bedside, and then found a bowl next to it. She picked up the bowl, and then someone came in."
"Is this what the situation was like?"
"right."
"So no one believes her?"
"The handkerchief that Fu Lin carried with her also had that ginseng smell. Someone checked it at the time and found that the handkerchief had been wrapped with ginseng. The handkerchief was always with her. She herself said that she had never lost it, so she couldn't explain it clearly."
Xiao Lanyuan paused and continued, "Also, the imperial physician found her to be somewhat mentally disturbed at the time, and her words were mixed up and she couldn't remember clearly. She even tried to strangle me."
hiss.
He was just a baby at that time, why did Fu Lin want to strangle him?
"These were seen by many people at the time, so she couldn't explain it clearly."
"Then was she poisoned?" Fu Zhaoning sensed something was wrong. If she wasn't poisoned, was Fu Lin crazy? She was talking nonsense in front of so many people, and was she going to attack Xiao Lanyuan again?
"So, she was not thrown into death row immediately, but was detained first, and was prepared to be interrogated. But unexpectedly, before the interrogation was completed, she disappeared with Fu Jinchen."
"So, everyone will think that she is absconding because of fear of crime?"
"Um."
Fu Zhaoning sighed.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at the ginseng and said, "I have been looking for the ginseng from that year, but I didn't expect that it was in the hands of the emperor, and he even gave it away."
This is even more confusing.
What does the Emperor mean by this?
"There are words and pictures on this parchment scroll." Fu Zhaoning's eyes focused.
They both came closer at the same time.
There was only one line of words on the parchment scroll: "Old History of Zhao State", which must not be seen by anyone.
There is also a simple map drawn on it, with a shape marked at one place on the map.
Fu Zhaoning was confused and asked, "Why can't the old history of Zhao State be seen by others?"
Xiao Lanyuan frowned and his eyes fell on the figure again.
The pattern drawn on his palm by the Emperor before he passed away came to his mind.
"A Yuan, remember this representative is Yu Heng."
Yuheng.
He was very young at the time and didn't quite understand what these two words meant. Later, he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant by what he said. It seemed to have no effect on him, so he kept it in his heart.
Now seeing the direction of the mountains drawn on the map, Xiao Lanyuan suddenly had an idea.
"Bring the map of the country." He raised his voice and ordered.
Soon, a secret guard brought a map of the country.
Xiao Lanyuan spread the picture on the table and lightly stroked it with his fingers.
Fu Zhaoning followed his fingers with his eyes and saw his slender fingers stop at a certain place and then nodded.
"Yuheng Mountain?" she asked puzzledly.
"Well, he once asked me to remember this figure on the parchment scroll. It represents Yuheng."
Fu Zhaoning held his chin and looked at him, "So, the thing he left for you is in Yuheng Mountain?"
It seems that Yuheng Mountain is not very far from the capital, it is between the capital and Jiangnan.
"Um."
"How long does it take to get there from the capital?"
"If we hurry up, it won't take ten days."
But if we take a horse carriage and go slowly, it will probably take more than half a month.
"As for the other two tokens, we may have to go to Yuheng Mountain to find out what they are used for." Fu Zhaoning frowned, "But since the poisonous ginseng is also here, could the secret of Yuheng Mountain be related to the truth about your poisoning?"
If that's the case, then she should also go along to investigate the matter.
Now the Fu family’s affairs are her business.
"Of course we have to go to Yuheng Mountain." Xiao Lanyuan looked at the parchment scroll again and pushed it in front of her, "You keep it."
Fu Zhaoning felt a little surprised.
Before, the three tokens had not been collected yet, so it was reasonable to leave them with her first. But now that the three tokens have been collected, why should I still leave them with her?
"Now that the things are here, and you've told me the location, aren't you afraid that I can go explore it myself first?"
Xiao Lanyuan leaned slightly and moved closer to her.
"Will you go alone?"
He asked seriously.
Fu Zhaoning pursed his lips and said, "No."
Xiao Lanyuan sat back and smiled, "I think you can be trusted."
"But doesn't your dignified Prince Jun's Mansion have a place to store these things? Why do you have to leave them with me?"
Xiao Lanyuan just smiled and said nothing.
When it came to her, he felt that there was a more inseparable connection between them than between ordinary people.
"Then when are we going to Yuheng Mountain?"
"We need to prepare for it. We will have to wait at least ten days."
"Then I'll go back and make some preparations."
"It's so late, let's go back tomorrow." Xiao Lanyuan held her hand.
Fu Zhaoning hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Xiao Lanyuan smiled slightly, "Then let's play a game of chess?"
After the game of chess, the two ended in a draw.
When Xiao Lanyuan was about to leave Jianjia Courtyard, he was obviously reluctant to leave. Qingyi glanced at him and quietly made a few gestures to the guards in secret.
"Let's get up and have breakfast tomorrow morning. There will be steamed buns with shredded winter bamboo shoots. They are very delicious." Xiao Lanyuan was still talking to Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Zhaoning stretched his arms and yawned, "Okay, go back quickly."
"Your Highness! Something bad has happened. There was a sudden fire in your bedroom. The maid rushed to pour water on it, and your bed was soaked."
A guard came hurriedly.
Xiao Lanyuan: “…”
Fu Zhaoning: “…”
Qing Yi, the guards, and Hong Zhuofenxing were all looking at her, and she suddenly became the focus.
"No, why would the house catch fire out of nowhere?" Fu Zhaoning found it unbelievable.
"Maybe the window wasn't closed properly, and the wind blew some candle ash onto the bed, burning it a little." The guard explained calmly.
Qing Yi secretly gave him a thumbs up.
"Otherwise, Princess, we'll have to let the prince stay in Jianjia Courtyard tonight. We'll have to clean up other places all night long, and it will be dawn when we're done." Qing Yi said to Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Zhaoning looked at Xiao Lanyuan. Xiao Lanyuan put his hand to his lips and coughed a few times.
This night, the cold dew was heavy, and he had to wait to make the bed again.
"Everyone, leave!" Fu Zhaoning turned around and walked into the house.
"My Lord, has the princess agreed?"
Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing looked at each other, pursed their lips and smiled secretly, then retreated.
"If you act on your own again, I will not forgive you." Xiao Lanyuan glanced at them coldly, turned around, walked into the house with his hands behind his back, and closed the door.
