Chapter 358: Welcoming Guests (Part 2)
Xiao Chengxuan knew that he could not get any benefit from Shen Yanchuan, so he endured it again and again, and finally swallowed back the words in his throat.
He pointed at Chen Yanchuan with a warning, then turned and left.
Shen Yanchuan had just returned from investigating a case, and was valued by his father. If he went to find Shen Yanchuan at this time, he would be the only one in trouble.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Eunuch Li whispered to smooth things over, "Your Highness, please don't bother with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. He has been under house arrest recently and has suffered a lot in front of His Majesty."
Naturally, Chen Yanchuan would not waste energy on such trivial matters with Xiao Chengxuan.
He looked back, and recalled the envelope that had not been opened by His Majesty, his eyes darkened slightly.
…
Xiao Chengxuan was released from house arrest, and when he left the palace, he was much more imposing than when he came.
Even though he had embarrassed himself these past few days, what his mother said was right, his father still loved him like a child.
really.
Everyone in the Prince Qi's Mansion soon learned the news, and the whole mansion was filled with joy.
However, when Xiao Chengxuan returned home, he heard even better news.
"Are you serious?"
Xiao Chengxuan was just about to change his clothes when he heard his subordinates report. He didn't even bother to wash his hands and kept asking, "Is Ye Heng really dead?!"
The subordinate knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, it is absolutely true! He died three miles away from the nearest post station to Tongbei. Originally, as long as he held on a little longer and arrived at the post station to rest, he would have arrived in Tongbei smoothly in a few days. But that night, it suddenly snowed heavily, and everyone was hungry and cold. Ye Heng couldn't hold on and fell in the snow."
Xiao Chengxuan narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure he is really dead?"
The subordinate showed an affirmative look on his face: "Master Lu has taken action."
Then Ye Heng will definitely die!
Xiao Chengxuan was finally relieved: "Okay, okay!"
He walked a few steps excitedly, and suddenly asked, "By the way, no one has noticed this, right?"
"Don't worry. It's normal for exiled prisoners to die on the way. It's beyond expectation that he could hold on for so long. You know Lord Lu's ability. He won't make mistakes. I think he deliberately chose the day of heavy snow to do it."
Thousands of miles away, it is a sparsely populated place. Even if someone dies, the heavy snow will bury everything.
Xiao Chengxuan crossed his arms and thought for a while: "Let's put this matter aside and talk about it later."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. He is just an exiled prisoner. It takes a long time for the news from Tongbei to reach the capital. Besides, he has angered His Majesty, so no one will be so blind as to bring this matter to His Majesty's attention."
These officials, both high and low, are extremely understanding of human nature.
People like Ye Heng would never be mentioned for years. If His Majesty ever remembers him and asks him a question, the person might have been dead for who knows how long.
Xiao Chengxuan was finally completely relieved.
Ye Heng knew too much. Now that he is dead, he can sleep peacefully.
He thought for a moment and ordered, "Tell the people over there to take good care of Lu Da and tell him to stay there for the time being. I will let him return to the capital smoothly after a while."
"yes!"
…
Lian Zhou acted quickly and found out everything clearly without spending much effort.
Then he immediately reported it to Shen Yanchuan.
"…That's what happened. There are two theories about Gao's death, but most people think it's related to Miss Ye Er."
Lian Zhou said as he carefully glanced at his master's expression.
He was extremely angry when he heard about it, let alone his master?
Such a blatant slander is something that anyone who uses their brains will know is problematic, but most people do not have the ability to discern and just go with the flow and believe the rumors.
"Shuntian Prefecture took away Gao's body and also took away her personal maid for questioning, but I don't think there will be much progress."
The person died in the middle of the night, and even the only suspicious pot of scented tea was poured out and washed clean, leaving no trace.
Just based on the signs of struggle on Gao's body, it is impossible to determine who did it.
This has almost become a dead end.
After listening to this, Shen Yanchuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How has she been these days?"
Lian Zhou looked a little confused: "Miss Ye Er has been staying at home and has not gone out."
Anyone who gets dragged into such a terrible thing would probably be annoyed to death.
But it's not a solution to keep going like this. She can't possibly stay away from coming out forever, right?
Until this matter is clarified, her life will not be easy.
"Only Princess Qinyang went to the Ye Mansion two days ago. She stayed there for a long time and left at night. I heard that when she came out, she still smelled of alcohol."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyes slightly: "What?"
Lian Zhou secretly groaned in his heart, but his master asked him to find out everything that had happened in recent days, so how could he dare to slack off?
Naturally, I didn't dare hide anything and told everything truthfully.
Lian Zhou coughed and said, "Well... maybe Princess Qinyang is also speaking up for Second Miss Ye? But then again, she is still willing to enter and leave the Ye Mansion openly at this time, which can be regarded as not fearing rumors and supporting Second Miss Ye!"
Chen Yanchuan had a blank expression on his face: "Aren't there enough rumors about her? Who else could implicate her?"
Lian Zhou: “…”
Well, it seems that what the master said is quite right?
She is a troublemaker. With her around, those people will be more restrained.
Suddenly, Yun Cheng's voice came from outside.
"Master, a guest has arrived."
Lian Zhou was stunned and looked back: "Who would come to my house at this time?"
They returned to the capital during the day, and everyone in the city saw them and knew that Chen Yanchuan had returned.
But why would anyone come to visit at this hour?
Even if you want to visit your master, you should at least wait until tomorrow to hand in the invitation, right?
Lian Zhou said: "Hey, Yuncheng, the master just came back, you can let them go back first, and we will talk about it tomorrow——"
Yun Cheng paused, but did not retreat.
"Master, the people who came are from the Ye Mansion. They said... they came to give you a gift."
Chen Yanchuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he finally raised his eyes to look.
Lian Zhou was also stunned.
Ye Mansion?
Who else could make Yun Cheng so polite except the Ye family?
While thinking, Chen Yanchuan had already spoken: "Let them in."
"yes."
After a while, Yun Cheng came in with five nimble servants.
The five men all held black wine jars in their arms.
You can tell from the look of it that it’s not light.
"The young ones have met the prince."
The five people saluted respectfully, and the person in the middle stepped forward and said respectfully:
"After hearing that the prince had returned to the capital, the second young lady specially ordered us to deliver wine. These five jars are the five best-selling wines at Yunlai Wine Shop. The second young lady said that she was grateful for the prince's previous kindness, but she was too busy recently to come in person, so she prepared a small gift and asked us to deliver it to show her intention to welcome the prince."
