Ye Qinghuan thought it was some kind of fun at first, and smiled as he read the letter. There were only a few words on the letter, and after taking a look, Ye Qinghuan's expression changed.
Although King Jing disliked Prince Ye, he was still his cousin after all, so King Jing still wanted to know what had happened to Ye Qinghuan, so he glanced at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi stepped forward and said for him, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Qinghuan seemed to have lost his soul, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He handed the letter over, "Tianchi, do you know who wrote this letter?" Wang
Xi took the letter and handed it to King Jing without even reading it. Mu Tianchi glanced at it and was surprised.
The words on this letter were probably the most awkward he had ever seen in his life. Only a few of them were written correctly, and most of them were missing limbs and slanted, as if they were blown by the wind. Even the words written by a six or seven-year-old child would be better than this.
And it was not just the ugly words, this letter... also told a horrifying story.
The second prince was planning to assassinate Ye Qinghuan and slander Ye Shizi for killing Princess Jin Jue. This letter told Ye Qinghuan to pay attention to the second prince's movements, and not to trust the sixth prince easily.
The emperor now had only four adult princes, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the sixth prince was the third prince's follower, the third prince was not on good terms with the second prince, and King Jing was not on good terms with any of them.
This thin letter involved three of the four princes, and Ye Qinghuan himself was obviously related to King Jing. Thinking of this, King Jing's face became solemn.
As the maternal family of the late emperor, the Cheng'en Mansion was deeply trusted by the emperor, and a bright future was beyond doubt. Because several legitimate princes born by the late emperor died young or were disabled, although the Cheng'en Mansion no longer had its own princes, according to its current status, it did not need to stand on the side of other princes. Cheng'en Gong usually had no contact with these princes, and wanted to avoid disputes as much as possible, but disputes still took the initiative to find them.
This letter was delivered by Xiong Feng, and it was full of strangeness. What was written in the letter was even more incredible. Ye Qinghuan couldn't tell whether it was true or not. He had other concerns. Could it be that the letter itself was a trap used to trap the Cheng'en Mansion?
Mu Tianchi thought about it and coughed lightly. Ye Qinghuan looked up and saw that King Jing's fingertips had pinched a mark on one of the names.
King Jing was hinting, and Ye Qinghuan could see clearly that King Jing wanted him to pay attention to "Princess Jin Jue".
Ye Qinghuan was stunned: "You mean, why is it Princess Jin Jue?"
If it was someone else, it would be more credible, but when it comes to Princess Jin Jue, King Jing and Ye Qinghuan have not heard of any recent movements of Jin Jue, and Jin Jue is very far away from the imperial city where they are. Princess Jin Jue has never even met her. Why would the second prince kill such a person and put the blame on him?
This is exactly the contradiction. If this letter is really to set a trap for the Cheng'en Mansion, there is no need to involve a foreign princess, so King Jing is more inclined to believe it, or partially believe it.
King Jing took another piece of paper and pen and wrote "Be prepared for any eventuality". Ye Qinghuan was silent for a while, and he completely understood what King Jing meant.
"It is better to believe it than not. I will order people to keep an eye on the second prince, and... the sixth prince, to see what they are trying to do."
Let's also see who wrote the letter to see what his intentions were.
"Thanks to your timely reminder, otherwise I would have to rack my brains for a while."
Ye Qinghuan smiled heartily and patted King Jing on the shoulder.
People outside only say that King Jing is aloof and doesn't care about anything, but in fact, this guy is meticulous and has his own ideas.
Ye Qinghuan's overly enthusiastic behavior made King Jing frown slightly.
"By the way." Ye Qinghuan said, "Who do you think sent this letter? He actually asked Xiongfeng to send the letter. This person must know my habits very well. Could he be - very familiar with me?"
Ye Qinghuan's guess was not unreasonable. King Jing also wanted to know who sent the letter, but he and Ye Shizi had slightly different ideas.
This letter was indeed sent through Xiong Feng, but it was sent after Ye Shizi visited Jing Wang Mansion. If it was just someone Ye Shizi was familiar with, why did he choose to send it under Jing Wang's nose?
Jing Wang was more inclined to believe that this person had a complicated relationship with Jing Wang Mansion, and he just took the opportunity of Ye Shizi's visit to send such a letter.
The parties involved in this letter were complicated. Looking back at the wild words on the letter, the strokes were forked in several places, but each stroke was very forceful. This way of writing, I'm afraid even the pen...
Jing Wang's mind moved, he remembered that he had seen a bald pen, just these few days, it was... in his room!
It was that young man. He had speculated what he had written in the room. Could it be - this letter that Ye Qinghuan was holding in his hand?
"...Tianchi, what are you thinking about with a gloomy face?"
Ye Qinghuan stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of King Jing's eyes.
King Jing mercilessly slapped his hand away.
Ye Qinghuan smiled and said, "Are you wondering who this person is and where he is? I have a way to find him out, but--"
Ye Qinghuan glanced at King Jing and stopped at the key point.
King Jing looked impatiently and said: If you have something to say, say it quickly.
"Pfft." Ye Qinghuan continued with a smile: "I have my own way. If you want to find the messenger, you have to answer a question for me first."
Ye Qinghuan felt that he was very clever to use this opportunity to get some information from King Jing. He shook his head and said: "I heard that you were assassinated in the palace and moved back to the palace. I have never been able to figure this out. Jingtai Palace is your territory, and you have quite a few guards around you. How did the assassin get into the house?"
Ye Qinghuan thought about gossip for a long time.
Regarding the assassination of King Jing, everyone in the palace was guessing who did it, but the assassin had been killed by King Jing, and the emperor's guards turned the body over and over but found no useful clues.
There are two kinds of speculations in the palace. One is that Concubine Qiu was punished by the emperor because of King Jing, and Qiu must have a grudge against her. Even if the assassination of King Jing was not done by Concubine Qiu, it must be related to Concubine Gui. The other is that someone deliberately framed Qiu. After all, anyone would think of Qiu when King Jing was assassinated. The second prince was anxious to "reconcile" with King Jing, and he also had this concern. In addition to helping Qiu out, he was also afraid that the emperor would listen to the rumors outside.
As King Jing's cousin, Ye Qinghuan naturally cared about King Jing and wanted to know who was so brave to take action in the palace. The third prince had been eager to try in recent years, and had privately joined hands with the sixth prince to compete with the second prince. The princes were on the verge of a fight.
"So - who is the assassin? If you tell me, in exchange, I will find the person who wrote the letter for you."
Why didn't King Jing leave any survivors and just kill the assassin?
Ye Qinghuan felt that he must know something, but he just didn't want to say it. King Jing
snorted coldly and glanced at Wang Xi, who covered his mouth and laughed secretly, and asked the guards to lift Ye Qinghuan's collar.
"Tianchi, what are you doing!" Ye Qinghuan was shocked.
Wang Xi said slowly: "Prince, why don't you learn from your mistakes? His Highness never likes others to negotiate with him. Why do you have to negotiate with him?"
Ye Qinghuan: "..."
Well, he is a fool to think that he can get words from King Jing!
Wang Xi ordered his men to take Prince Ye and throw him out of the house. Ye Qinghuan struggled desperately: "Wait a minute, if I am driven away, who will find the person who sent the letter?"
"That's it, Prince." Wang Xi joked, "Your Highness asked me to ask you, do you want to be driven out, or do you want to say it yourself?"
"I am really impressed." Ye Qinghuan laughed and scolded, and did not pretend to be sympathetic, and took the initiative to tell his own method.
His method is Xiongfeng. Since the person who wrote the letter asked Xiongfeng to deliver the letter, Xiongfeng must have seen this person. As long as they let Xiongfeng lead the way, they will definitely be able to find the person.
King Jing: "..."
So it can be done this way!
Ye Qinghuan untied the dog chain and begged Xiongfeng for help.
Xiongfeng didn't know if he understood it or not. After Ye Shizi finished speaking, he licked the palm of his hand, turned around and ran away.
Ye Qinghuan hurriedly said, "Hurry, it's going to find someone."
King Jing and Ye Qinghuan looked at each other, and followed behind tacitly.
When King Jing and Ye Qinghuan were not around, Li Yu quickly turned into a human without restraint, scaring Xiongfeng to bark.
Li Yu was not afraid of Xiongfeng in human form, but there was nothing that could appease Xiongfeng, so he had to feed Xiongfeng some red fish food.
Unexpectedly, Xiong Feng actually likes fish food very much. Not only did he stop barking, he also licked Li Yu's hand vigorously. Li Yu subdued Xiong Feng, transferred the letter stored in the space out, and let Xiong Feng deliver the letter.
So far, the rescue plan should be completed for the most part, and it depends on how Ye Shizi arranges it next.
In fact, it would be better for him to go along, but it is too inconvenient whether in human form or fish form. As soon as the human form goes out, he will be caught, and if the fish form follows the dog, it is afraid that it will not be able to catch up with the dog.
Therefore, Li Yu decided to stay where he was and wait for Xiong Feng to come back with the letter.
This transformation was extremely smooth. There was still a long time before he could transform back, so Li Yu did not dare to run around. He put on his clothes and sat in the room, staring at a plate of pink peach-shaped snacks on the coffee table.
This snack is called peach blossom cake. It looks like peach blossom and smells very good. Wang Xi said that this is a skill passed down from the chef in the palace. King Jing sometimes uses some.
Since the snacks were placed by Wang Xi himself, there should be no problem. Li Yugan sat there for a while and was bored. Soon he turned his mind to peach blossom cakes.
The last time he became a human, he was busy writing and had no time to eat human food. The last time he became a human, he ate the food brought to him by Aunt Xu without snacks. Now a plate of tempting snacks was placed in front of him, and Li Yu felt... he was greedy.
This is King Jing's snack. It is normal for a pet to bother its owner with snacks.
The peach blossom cakes were divided into three layers, forming a cake mountain, and were neatly stacked. Li Yu picked a relatively large one from the top three, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
The pink cake was crispy and sweet, and it was called a peach blossom cake, and it really tasted like peach blossoms.
Li Yu was afraid that the time of transformation would come soon, so he ate it quickly. After finishing it, he wanted to eat more, so he took the second piece and put it in his mouth.
He didn't plan to eat too much. After taking away two pieces, the top layer was missing, and the original cake mountain became imperfect. Li Yu thought about it, took out two cakes from the bottom layer, which was the third layer, and rearranged the remaining cakes, so that this layer was smaller. Li Yu took out another cake from the second layer and rearranged the second layer...
In this way, the whole cake mountain was smaller.
Li Yu nodded with satisfaction and ate all the extra peach blossom cakes, stuffing his cheeks full.
He was chewing the snack vigorously when there was a loud barking of dogs outside. Li Yu was happy at first. Did Xiongfeng successfully complete his entrustment and come back?
Li Yu went to the window frame to take a look. Xiongfeng was wagging his tail all the way, running at lightning speed, followed by King Jing and the Prince of Cheng'en.
Li Yu: !!!
Stupid Xiongfeng, it was agreed that the dog would complete the task alone, so why did he attract these two people here without betraying him?
