Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 110: Falling into a trap
Li Ziqing looked at the two people walking out of the dense forest in horror.
Some of the older men had handsome faces, were gentle and elegant, and held a strong bow in their hands.
The young man, with a sharp face and bright eyes, was about to put the bow and arrow in his hand back on his back.
"How are you? Where are you hurt?"
The young man hurriedly squatted down to check Li Ziqing's injuries.
"It's nothing serious. My leg is slightly injured, but the bones are fine."
"Apply this wound medicine to him. The smell of blood may attract wild animals in the forest."
The young man applied the medicine skillfully and tore off a corner of his robe to bandage Li Ziqing's leg.
"Stand up and try to walk, can you?"
Li Ziqing got up, stretched his injured leg, and nodded.
"Please leave your names, my two benefactors. I will repay you when I return to the city."
"We also live in the city. My name is Baili He and his is Sheng Beiqiu. We went out together and came back through this forest to take a shortcut back to the city. I happened to hear your call for help and came here. It's just a small favor, so I don't need to say thank you."
"My name is Li Ziqing. My family has been practicing medicine for generations. The Baicao Medical Clinic in the city is owned by my family. If you two benefactors have any questions, you can always contact me."
"Okay."
Baili He's voice is clear and bright, just like him.
The three of them went down the mountain together and got to know each other quite well along the way.
From then on, the three of them often got together, with Baili He's father Baili Xian as the replacement, and the three of them called each other brothers in private.
Later, the two were made kings for their contributions to the emperor, and Li Ziqing went to the Imperial Hospital because of his superb medical skills.
He looked at the tall and handsome Cangyu in front of him, his heart full of love for his child.
He regretted that he was powerless to help his biological mother, Concubine Sheng.
When he rushed over to look after Xiao Cangyu, he caught a glimpse of Concubine Sheng's body being collected by palace servants.
She was in the prime of her life, but her face was dark blue.
The bulging belly made his eyes red.
She is the apple of his eldest brother's eye and the child he has watched grow up.
Little Cangyu was speechless due to fright. He discussed with his eldest brother and decided that Beibohou should come forward and propose to send Cangyu away from the crisis-ridden palace and go to Qianliu Mountain to learn skills.
There was an elder there whom he had accidentally saved. He wrote a letter asking for help, and the elder gladly agreed.
Ten days passed quickly.
Apart from the poisoned wine served by the prince in public, Prime Minister Yun and his colleagues could not find any other evidence.
"Prime Minister Yun, please think of a solution quickly. The deadline is approaching. How should we respond to His Majesty?"
"Yes, we questioned the prince, but he refused to admit it, and we have no evidence that he set the fire. How can we resolve this case?"
Kou Boran, the Minister of Dali Temple, is the youngest and is most nervous about the hat on his head. He has been very diligent and anxious these days.
Yun Xuanzhi was also in a headache. He didn't know the truth about the poisoned wine and the fire, and he couldn't guess His Majesty's attitude towards the Crown Prince and Prince Sheng.
After the death of Xibohou Xia Jun, the prince's power gradually declined. In addition, almost all the troops of the three battalions of the Capital Defense Camp were confiscated, and the prince's position was in jeopardy.
Yun Xuanzhi has been immersed in the court for many years and has been secretly supporting Prince Ning. Today's situation is obviously in Prince Ning's favor.
"The people who were assigned to keep an eye on Prince Sheng's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion, what reports do you have recently?"
He remained calm and composed, a character trait he had developed through years of experience.
Of course, apart from the loss of control that day.
"Everything is the same as before in Prince Sheng's mansion. Prince Sheng has been resting in bed. The servants have prepared some medicine and sent it to him. I heard he is getting better day by day."
Dali Temple Minister Kou Boran was losing interest and replied with a frown.
This was the first time he encountered such a case. Apart from the fact that Prince Sheng drank alcohol and became poisoned in public, there were no other clues.
The three people who were burned to charcoal in the new house of Prince Sheng’s Mansion were turned into white bones, and no clues could be found at all.
The fire seemed to have come out of nowhere, but everything was back to normal after a night.
The Xiling envoys had originally planned to leave after King Sheng's wedding, but the bride and two accompanying maids were burned to death in the bridal chamber, so they also needed to wait for an explanation.
However, as a defeated country, they also knew their limits. Anyway, the people sent to marry the princess had already arrived in Dongcang, and their mission had been completed. If they waited for another ten days, they might be able to get some benefits back, which was not a big deal.
"Report to the Lord, the guards who are keeping an eye on Prince Sheng's Palace have news to report."
The four men were sitting in the Dali Temple hall with worried looks on their faces when an attendant outside the door ran in to report.
"Let him in quickly."
Dali Temple Minister Kou Boran hurriedly sat down.
A short guard ran in.
"Sir, we are keeping an eye on Prince Sheng's Mansion. A servant in the mansion ran into the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion while he was out shopping. The two had an argument and fought in the street. The steward almost took the servant's life, but was saved by our people. Now both of them are under custody."
"The servants of Prince Sheng's Mansion had contact with the steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
"bring it here."
"Yes!"
Suddenly, several people felt as if they had sensed something was going on and sat up straight.
"Who is in the hall?"
Kou Boran, the Minister of Dali Temple, asked the question with great momentum.
"Master, I am Guan Lin, the steward of the Prince's Mansion. I did nothing wrong, but was beaten on the street and had to fight back."
Of course he knew who he was fighting against.
But he just couldn't understand why he revealed his identity and went looking for him on the street, and was even taken to the Dali Temple. This would be very disadvantageous for the prince who was imprisoned in the mansion.
Guan Lin knelt in the hall, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Master, I am a servant in charge of purchasing in Prince Sheng's Palace. My name is Li Wei."
"Why did you two fight in the street? Tell the truth."
"Master, there is no dispute between us, just a few words. I will apologize to him right away."
Guan Lin, the steward of the Prince's Mansion, quickly turned around and kowtowed to Li Wei while speaking anxiously.
"Brother Li, this is all my fault. Whatever compensation you want, we can discuss it privately. I'll apologize to you first."
"I don't need your apology. Did you capture my wife and children? Where did you hide them? We have already arrived at the Dali Temple. I just want to know where my wife and children are?"
Li Wei shouted wildly, his eyes were red.
"It's not me. It's really not me. I really don't know where your wife and children are."
How come you still have a wife and children?
How could a spy chosen by the crown prince and sent to Prince Sheng's palace be allowed to have family ties? What's going on?
Butler Guan Lin had sweat pouring down his forehead as he stared at Li Wei closely.
How could he say such a thing here, isn't it obviously suspicious?
"Li Wei, tell me why you had an argument with the steward of the Prince's Mansion in the street. If it involves the lives of your wife and children, I will make the decision for you."
Kou Boran, the Minister of Dali Temple, said sternly.
"Reporting to the masters, I am a servant of Prince Sheng's Mansion, but I am also a spy sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Palace. I took a ten-day break and went back to my home in the suburbs. Yesterday, I went back and found that my wife and three-year-old son were missing. I found a piece of torn cloth in the dark. I can see that it is the fabric of the servants of the Crown Prince's Mansion, because I have had such clothes. I suspect that my wife and children were abducted by the Crown Prince's Mansion and used to threaten me."
Li Wei kowtowed and told the truth regardless of the consequences.
"No, he's talking nonsense. He has nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion. I don't know this person."
Butler Guan Lin was shocked and quickly denied it.
"You arranged for me to be sent to Prince Sheng's Palace. There were three people going with me, but they were all cleared out by the Prince Sheng's Palace through job competition in the early stage, leaving only me. You usually assign tasks to me, and you said you don't know me?"
Li Wei's eyes were red with anger as he glared at the housekeeper.
"Li Wei, why did you betray your master?"
Guan Lin was extremely panicked.
He felt that he and the Prince's Mansion were being plotted against, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
"I betrayed you? I worked for you and put my head on the belt, but you guys were behind my back and touched my family. How can I not feel chilled!"
Kou Boran looked at Prime Minister Yun and the other two adults, who showed joy on their faces.
This is really a case of someone supplying a pillow when he is sleepy, and the spy walked into a trap himself. Although it is a bit strange, at least there is a new breakthrough in the case.
