Chapter 267: A Good Seedling for a Tyrant
"Lord Yan." The fourth young master was the most timid. He looked at his father and his eldest brother, and it seemed that no one was in the mood to greet Yan Wenjie, so he gritted his teeth and walked over.
Yan Wenjie asked him: "Fourth Master, can I ask you a few questions?"
The fourth young master nodded.
Yan Wenjie: "What is the relationship between Miss Yao and the Second Young Master?"
The fourth young master was stunned, and after a pause, he said, "Second brother used to have a very good relationship with my younger sister."
"So, it got worse later?"
"yes."
Yan Wenjie narrowed his eyes: "When was it bad?"
"Last autumn..." He lowered his head and said, "After returning from the autumn hunt, my younger sister clamored to enter the palace. The whole family opposed it, and my second brother reacted most strongly."
The fourth young master paused.
He felt that he had spoken out of turn, as if entering the palace was a very bad thing.
So he began to make excuses: "I'm not saying that entering the palace is bad. Entering the palace can make you an imperial concubine, but you can never see the emperor. The emperor doesn't even go to the harem..."
At this point, he felt that he had said something wrong, and tried to make up for it: "I didn't mean to investigate the emperor or pry into his privacy. I just said that entering the palace might not necessarily win his favor..."
He paused and said, "I'm not saying that you have to be favored to enter the palace, but if you enter the palace, if you make a mistake, it will also bring trouble to the family..."
The fourth young master's face turned red with anxiety: "...I'm not afraid that my little sister will bring trouble to the family, it's just that there are many things going on in the palace, and there are many conspiracies and intrigues, and my little sister is naive..."
The fourth young master covered his mouth, stared at Yan Wenjie with wide eyes and a look of despair.
"Master Yan, I don't think the people in the palace are scheming. I just... I just..."
Someone come save him and make him a mute...
Yan Wenjie: "..."
"I understand. I won't tell anyone these words."
The fourth young master breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Wenjie went to Miss Yao's room again.
My daughter’s boudoir remains the same as before.
Yan Wenjie discovered that there was not a single mirror in the room, and Miss Yao's clothes were also very plain and elegant in color.
There were also some jewelry in her box, as well as some of Miss Yao's personal belongings.
"Brother Yan, is there something wrong?" The subordinate looked around but didn't see anything special.
Yan Wenjie said: "Under what circumstances would a girl not have a mirror in her room?"
The subordinate said dryly: "The girl is ugly."
Yan Wenjie glared at him. Miss Yao was not ugly at all, she was a great beauty.
But why doesn't she look in the mirror?
unless……
She didn't want to see herself in the mirror.
So what made her hate herself so much?
Yan Wenjie felt that he had grasped something.
After leaving the Duke of England's mansion, Yan Wenjie returned to the Dali Temple. He found Miss Yao's case file and opened it.
The coroner concluded that Miss Yao was stabbed to death by a sharp weapon, as evidenced by the wound on her neck. The murderer was swift and swift, leaving her no chance to resist. However, the coroner found bruises on Miss Yao's body, as well as some traces of old injuries.
Yan Wenjie didn't think much about it at the time and just thought it was an accidental bump.
But now he had to think more. If a rich lady didn't get bumped accidentally, then someone must have left a mark on her.
Who is it?
She usually doesn't go out...
Someone from the British Mansion?
The first person Yan Wenjie thought of was the second young master.
His various behaviors are most suspicious.
Yan Wenjie narrowed his eyes and turned to look for the Fourth Young Master.
The fourth young master was still walking in circles, feeling upset and regretful for having accidentally said the wrong thing just now.
"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do?"
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Did I say something wrong?"
"Isn't this Lord Yan going to complain to the Emperor?"
The fourth young master became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, so he decided to go talk to Yan Wenjie and tell him that he really didn't mean that. Then he turned around and found that Yan Wenjie had been standing behind him without him knowing when.
"Fourth Master, I have an unwelcome request."
"You...you say." The Fourth Young Master forced a smile.
"Which doctor is often invited to the palace?"
"Doctor Wang of the East City." The fourth young master frowned: "Is there any problem?"
"No."
Yan Wenjie strode away.
The fourth son: "..."
Did he say the wrong thing again?
Lord Yan asked the doctor what he was doing?
The fourth young master walked around a few times.
"What on earth are you asking the doctor for???"
It's really frustrating.
The Fourth Young Master ran out. He wanted to see it with his own eyes to prevent Lord Yan from finding any evidence that was unfavorable to the Duke of England's Mansion.
…
"Injured?" The emperor looked at Yan Wenjie.
Yan Wenjie nodded. He was determined not to miss any opportunity to gain the emperor's favor, so he would tell the emperor as soon as he found out something.
In the past, people scanned memorials, but now they scan faces.
"How could a rich lady get hurt?" the emperor became even more confused.
Yan Wenjie said: "Your Majesty, the old doctor said that Miss Yao was self-harming."
This made the emperor even more confused: "Why did you mutilate yourself?"
He doesn't understand.
An Jiu felt that Miss Yao might be suffering from depression or something like that, but her family didn't know about it, and even if they did, they wouldn't understand.
Yan Wenjie continued, "Your Majesty, the fourth son of the Yao family said that Miss Yao started to like... like Your Majesty after the autumn hunt, but the doctor said that Miss Yao started to self-harm as early as April last year."
"I checked and found that April 13th is Miss Yao's birthday. The Duke of England held a coming-of-age ceremony for her."
The emperor was also fascinated by what he heard.
He didn't expect that Miss Yao, a little girl, would have so many suspicious points and secrets...
Yan Wenjie left after he finished speaking.
An Jiu and the emperor looked at each other.
At this time, Jiang Sheng did not come. Through the information provided by Xiao Ji, he captured several spies from the Chu State and obtained some secret letters from them.
Some of the contents of the secret letters were very obscure, but some were about swallows.
The emperor held the secret letter and read it.
【What's this? 】
【King of Jin in Chu State? 】
[What is his relationship with this Swallow?] The emperor felt something was not right.
He asked An Jiu to come over and take a look.
An Jiu came over.
Rather than being a secret letter, it was more like an obscure and somewhat ambiguous greeting between old friends.
"How are you, my old lover?" The emperor narrowed his eyes.
"At least there was ambiguity." An Jiu said, pointing to the content of the letter.
Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "I am familiar with the King of Jin in Chu. He is famous for being romantic and unrestrained... I didn't expect that his old lover would be a spy in Daxia."
At this point, based on her age and status, we can basically infer that Swallow is most likely Concubine Shu.
In the entire harem, she was the only one who met the requirements, except for the Queen Mother.
But the emperor had no evidence, and Concubine Shu had raised Prince Jing and Prince Duan, so she couldn't be taken down with just a few words.
and……
Jiang Sheng also brought a secret letter.
Also from the Chu royal family.
"They are asking about someone," Jiang Sheng smiled and glanced at An Jiu.
An Jiu felt uncomfortable when he was stared at.
"Is it about me?"
Jiang Sheng nodded.
The words of the Chu royal family...
An Jiu thought of the original owner's brother.
Before Xiao Jin died, An Jiu suspected that An Tai had arrived in Daxia.
Now let’s look at the contents of the letter…
An Jiu felt a little nervous unconsciously.
Could it be that An Tai really came to Da Xia?
Will he come to find me?
But your sister is dead, I'm a fake
Can't we just be well on our own?
Shine in their respective spy fields?
An Jiu looked at the emperor helplessly. The emperor coughed and said to Jiang Sheng, "I know."
I know...
That’s it?
Jiang Sheng glanced at An Jiu. He was a spy from the State of Chu. How could he be let go just like that?
Wow!
My cousin is really a good candidate to be a tyrant.
