Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 360 Abandoned Yard
I'll have to put this matter aside for now and ask him again when his condition gets better.
Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yun were both raised by her, and the two brothers have always had a good relationship. She doesn't want any rift to arise between them.
“Changle understands what the Queen Mother meant, and Yun Che does not want to create a rift between him and His Royal Highness Prince An because of this. However, there are too many doubts in this matter. If we don’t find out the cause and effect, I’m afraid there will be endless troubles.”
She and Xiao Zhan naturally believed that Xiao Yun did not intend to go against them, and he must have done so because he was threatened.
Now they just want him to tell the whole story, so as to ensure that Xiao Yun is no longer threatened.
Otherwise, once this kind of threat is made, there may be a second time, and who knows what Xiao Yun will do next time.
And she always felt that there was something strange about it. Doctor Xu was killed, Jun Li was released, and Jiang Chongyi died. These three events were closely linked and close in time. Was it really a coincidence?
The Queen Mother agreed with Jiang Xue's words.
Yes, this hidden danger must be resolved before we can feel at ease.
When Jiang Xue came out of the Empress Dowager's Luanyi Palace, the sun had already set. As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, she saw Xiao Zhan standing in front of her carriage.
"I thought you had gone back." I watched him walk towards me with a smile and naturally take my hand.
"I want to go back with you, so I'm waiting here. But it's only an hour or two, so I won't be waiting too long."
He squeezed her hand gently, and when he felt the coldness of her fingertips, he held it tightly with heartache.
"I'm sorry, if I had kept a closer eye on it, the pagoda wouldn't have been stolen, and you wouldn't have to suffer from the blood poison anymore."
He had originally hoped that Doctor Xu could come up with the antidote as soon as possible, but he didn't expect this to happen.
"This is not your fault, why are you apologizing?" Jiang Xue comforted softly:
"Mengxun is obviously coming for the Buddha. You have seen her methods. No matter how closely you watch her, she will find a way to steal the Buddha. Besides, although the blood poison has not been removed, you can see that I am doing well now. There is also Doctor Li's medicine. Don't worry too much and don't blame yourself."
Her comfort made Xiao Zhan secretly sigh in his heart, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for.
Obviously, she was the one suffering from the blood poison, but she comforted herself instead.
He put his big hands around her slender waist, pulled her gently, and held her in his arms, assuring her in a low voice: "I will definitely help you find the pagoda as soon as possible."
"Well, I believe you." She wrapped her arms around his waist, closed her eyes, leaned into his warm arms, and nodded gently.
"What are you going to do?"
In the dark alley, Jun Li, who was covered in wounds, saw the two people hugging each other at the palace gate, and wanted to rush over out of jealousy.
But Mengxun grabbed him and dragged him back. She slapped him in the face, leaving five obvious fingerprints.
"Are you awake now? If you are, come back home with me."
She had finally rescued this man from Wu Meifeng, not to see him go crazy.
The burning pain on his face calmed Jun Li down a little.
When he looked up at Jiang Xue and the others again, he saw that they had already boarded the carriage and were galloping towards the direction of Prince Gong's Mansion.
"Where's Xiao Yun? I have a few friends who need his help to get it out."
After finally taking his eyes off the carriage of Prince Gong's Mansion, Jun Li said gloomily.
"Where is Jun Li now?"
These days, Xiao Zhan has been under surveillance.
"Your Highness, there is news that someone has moved into a courtyard in the south of the city. I went to check and found that it is the prince of Xichen."
The person who answered the question was the owner of Tingfeng Tower.
Because the shops closed late last night, it was already midnight when he got home. Just as he reached the door of his house, he saw a carriage coming from afar and stopped outside a deserted yard just across the street from his house.
He felt strange at the time. How come someone suddenly came to this abandoned yard which had been unattended for more than ten years?
With years of experience in collecting intelligence, the shopkeeper felt that something was wrong, so he hid in the dark and observed carefully.
He saw a tall man getting off a carriage. He was wearing a black cloak and wrapped himself tightly, so his appearance could not be seen at all. However, the shopkeeper felt that the figure looked particularly familiar. After thinking about it, he realized that it was almost exactly the same as Jun Li.
"Abandoned yard?" Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard it. She had heard of that yard and it had a good location.
It used to be the house of a wealthy businessman. Later, his business failed, his family fell into poverty, and he owed a lot of debts. This house was used to pay off the debts.
No one has touched it until now, and it has become a deserted yard.
"The location of that yard is really great. If you want to buy it, it will cost a lot of money based on the current land price. Jun Li was sent to Beiling as a hostage. Can he really come up with so much money?" Jiang Xue expressed doubt.
Even if Jun Li was rich, he should have spent most of it when he was trying to get close to Xiao Yan and Xiao Li.
Where would I get the extra money to buy that abandoned yard in a prime location?
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Xiao Zhan had the same question.
Logically speaking, Jun Li shouldn't be able to come up with that much money.
He looked at the shopkeeper to confirm again.
"I cannot be completely sure. After all, it is night and visibility is poor. It is not easy to see clearly. Please give me a few days to check it out." said the shopkeeper.
Xiao Zhan thought about it and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble the shopkeeper to investigate."
After the shopkeeper left, Jiang Xue looked at the document in Xiao Zhan's hand and said, "You have been carrying this document with you these days. Have you encountered any problems?"
A few days ago, Ye Rongxiu came to Prince Gong's Mansion and chatted with him in his study for more than an hour. He left after leaving this document.
These days, Xiao Zhan goes out early and comes back late. He doesn't even have time to eat lunch and only comes back late at night. It seems that he has encountered some difficult problems. Jiang Xue is very worried about this.
"It's not a big problem, but it involves more than 20 lives, so it's definitely not a small matter."
Knowing that his busyness these days had made Jiang Xue worried, Xiao Zhan spread the documents in front of her so that she could also see the contents.
"The Jiang family murder in the west of the city?" Jiang Xue read these words slowly, her heart skipping a beat.
Jiang family massacre, she remembered that Jiang Chongyi's family seemed to be a small family in Yujing City, no way!
"That's right, the Jiang family in the west of the city is Jiang Chongyi's maternal family." Xiao Zhan said solemnly.
Sure enough.
She frowned, her guess turned out to be true.
"Jiang Chongyi died not long ago, and now more than 20 people from the Jiang family have also passed away. This is definitely not a coincidence."
She felt that there must be someone behind this.
But Jiang Chongyi is timid, and her family is just a small family with neither power nor money. They rely on this weaving workshop to make a living. How could she possibly offend others?
