Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world

After listening to Xu Zhuang’s stories of the past, Jiang Huaixu was speechless for a long time.

He had long known that there was something fishy about his father's death, and he also had some doubts about the deaths of Aqing's father and brother, so he decided to investigate both together.

It was only in the past two years that Jiang Huaixu found out some clues, which were related to the royal family, but he did not find more evidence.

It had been more than ten years since his father's death, not to mention the death of General An and his son. The timeline was long enough, so it was not easy to dig out anything.

He was also secretly investigating the matter when he returned to Beijing this time, but all traces had been cleaned up. He did not expect to learn the truth from Xu Zhuang.

Jiang Huaixu just thought it was ridiculous.

Just because of Emperor Chongming’s suspicion and groundless suspicion, General An and his father had to die!

It was obvious that they had no intention of rebellion. My father once said that once the northern border was completely stable, he would return the tiger talisman to the emperor and retire to be with his wife.

As for General An, who is able to become good friends with my father, his ideas should be similar to my father's...

The candlelight on the wall reflected on Jiang Huaixu's expressionless face, and the look in his eyes made people feel frightened.

Xu Zhuang began to run out of energy when he finished telling the second half of these past events. The holes in his body stabbed by Jiang Huaixu were still bleeding, and the blood was all over the ground.

The fact that Xu Zhuang has been able to hold on until now without anyone to treat him can only be attributed to his luck.

Jiang Huaixu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Why should I believe what you say?"

Xu Zhuang said in a weak voice: "Everything I said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Jiang Huaixu had already believed most of it in his heart, because some of what Xu Zhuang said was consistent with the results of his investigation, but he still wanted to trick Xu Zhuang to see if he had any backup plans, so he said: "Is there anyone who can prove what you said? If so, Young Master Xu should be able to grow up safely in the future."

Xu Yi was Xu Zhuang's only weakness. After hearing Jiang Huaixu's definite promise, Xu Zhuang forced himself to cheer up: "Does the eunuch Hai who guarded the mausoleum of the late emperor know?"

Jiang Huaixu's eyes changed slightly: "Haikang?"

Xu Zhuang nodded: "Yes, this person should also know the inside story. He once tried to test me before to see if I knew about this past event, but I fooled him. Your Highness, you may be able to get the answer you want from him if you go find him. After all, I am impressed by your methods...

At the end of his speech, Xu Zhuang pulled the corner of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile.

Jiang Huaixu ignored Xu Zhuang's barbed words, his thoughts were all on Haikang that Xu Zhuang mentioned.

Haikang was the chief eunuch during Pei Zhuo's reign and was quite trusted by Pei Zhuo. Since Xu Zhuang said that Haikang might know, it made no sense for Pei Zhuo not to know anything about it. Haikang's test of Xu Zhuang was most likely a suggestion from Pei Zhuo.

Jiang Huaixu asked coldly: "Does Pei Zhuo know? Is he involved in this matter?"

Xu Zhuang replied: "He is still young and does not know about General An's matter. Besides, Emperor Chongming is so suspicious that he cannot know about it."

"Later, he had no chance to intervene in the affairs of the prince and his father. At that time, Emperor Chongming was not only afraid of the King of Zhenbei, but also the grown-up Crown Prince."

"However, how can I know whether he discovered the trick after he succeeded to the throne? That eunuch Hai was his man. It's just that after that eunuch Hai tested me, everyone who participated in this matter sooner or later met with an accident."

Although Xu Zhuang did not explicitly say whether Pei Zhuo knew about it, he mentioned Haikang again in his words, which was full of hints.

Jiang Huaixu tightened his grip on the sword, and in a flash he figured out some things. Why couldn't he find any clues after returning to the capital? He thought that Pei Zhuo must have cleaned up the traces left by Emperor Chongming when he was still there.

The murderous intent in his eyes almost took shape, and he thought of Ah Qing.

Ah Qing protects Pei Shiyu so much, but if she knew the truth about her father and brother's death, would she be able to accept it?

No, Aqing might not believe what he said.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, it couldn't change the importance of Pei Zhuo in A Qing's heart.

Compared with Pei Zhuo's one-sided statement, Ah Qing was more likely to think that this was an excuse he made up to alienate her from the little emperor.

Only by bringing Haikang out of the imperial mausoleum and letting the eunuch who is Pei Zhuo's confidant tell Aqing in person, will Aqing be likely to believe it.

Because Pei Zhuo was buried in the imperial mausoleum, A Qing sent most of his men there. It would be extremely difficult for him to bring Haikang out without alerting A Qing and force the truth out of him.

We have to find a way to get Aqing to leave the capital for a while, but this is not urgent and can be planned slowly. There are other things to do right now.

Jiang Huaixu lowered his eyes and said "Oh" in an ambiguous tone.

Xu Zhuang's voice was almost inaudible, and he had obviously reached his limit, but he still stared at Jiang Huaixu with his cloudy eyes.

"I have told you everything I know. Your Majesty, please do not forget your previous promise."

Jiang Huaixu finally looked Xu Zhuang in the face, his eyes full of hostility: "Did the king promise you anything?"

Xu Zhuang's eyes widened, realizing that Jiang Huaixu was lying to him. He angrily said, "You bastard, you deserve a bad death. How dare you lie to me?"

Jiang Huaixu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a sharp tone: "When you talk about these things, you always avoid talking about who is involved. Why do you know so much?"

"Emperor Chongming trusted you very much in his early years. If I am not mistaken, Duke Xu should also be involved. You and I killed our fathers, so why should I let go of your enemy's grandson?"

Xu Zhuang's face froze. He realized belatedly that he had been tricked. The more he talked, the harder it became to explain why he knew the truth.

"Jiang Huaixu, you can kill me or chop me up as you like, but Yi'er is only 5 years old. How can you be so cruel as to attack a child!!!"

Jiang Huaixu's eyes were as dark as ink. He held the sword and pierced Xu Zhuang's heart himself. Looking at his face that was still open, he whispered, "Yes, Ah Qing was only 4 years old back then."

The family was broken up and he had to live under someone else's roof.

How could you be so cruel to attack her?

He didn't even dare to think about how Aqing survived.

Jiang Huaixu calmed down and walked out of the cell.

He wiped the blood off the sword with a handkerchief, and seeing Xu Yi still unconscious, he said calmly: "Take him away from the capital and throw him into a beggar's den. Whether he lives or dies depends on his luck."

He put the sword back into its scabbard and continued, "Let Hanlu come and deal with the bodies inside."

Although Jingzhe was somewhat surprised by his master's decision, he still responded: "Yes, master."

But after a while, he looked at Xu Yi in his hand and still hesitated. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Master, why don't you cut the grass and root it out? Leaving it behind will eventually cause trouble."

Jiang Huaixu said without even looking up: "It depends on whether he has the ability to take revenge."

Hearing this, Jingzhe shut his mouth. He had said too much. It was still unknown whether the child could survive and grow up.

***

In the princess's mansion, Yan Qing had already woken up. Looking at the bewildered young man in front of her, she pressed her forehead with a headache.

"Your Majesty should not leave the palace at this time."

Pei Shiyu bowed his head and said, "Yingyi reported that my aunt was injured in an assassination attempt, but she refused to come to the palace to let the imperial physician see her. I will feel uneasy if I don't come to see her in person."

At the end of the sentence, his voice was choked with an almost undetectable sob.

Yan Qing sighed and said, "I've asked Lin Huaigu to take a look. It's not a serious injury. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Pei Shiyu raised his eyes, his eyes slightly red: "Aunt always tells me not to worry, but she is my only relative..."

Yan Qing felt a little soft-hearted. She raised her hand and wiped away Pei Shiyu's tears with a handkerchief, and explained softly: "Shiyu is worried about me, and I am also worried about Shiyu. Now the person who took action is still unclear, and there are many people eyeing you covetously. If they take advantage of your leaving the palace to take action against you, what will I do?"

Pei Shiyu was a little dazed. This situation was very similar to the first time he met his aunt.

He looked away and replied softly: "Aunt, I know I was wrong, but I didn't come here alone. Yingyi and the others are protecting me in secret, and I have also found out who attacked you..."

Yan Qing paused, somewhat surprised that Pei Shiyu had found out who it was so quickly.

"Huh? Who is it?"

Speaking of this, Pei Shiyu's eyes were cold: "It's Xu Zhuang."

He told Yan Qing the whole story.

His people tortured Xu Zhuang severely before Jiang Huaixu went to the imperial prison, but he did not have Xu Yi in his hand, and Xu Zhuang did not show any other expression to the secret guards, so all he got was the reason for the assassination.

Yan Qing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow, hiding the strangeness in her eyes.

Xu Zhuang has already appeared in the open, and Jiang Huaixu should also know the secret from this person. This is one of the important nodes of the plot and cannot be missed.

Yan Qing said to 012 in his mind: "12, pay attention to the plot progress bar and tell me if there are any changes."

012 responded: "Okay Yanyan."

After receiving the reply, Yan Qing immersed his thoughts back into the character setting.

She nodded to Pei Shiyu: "It turned out to be him."

He didn't ask any more questions about this matter, as he believed Pei Shiyu could handle it.

Pei Shiyu looked at Yan Qing hesitantly, he wanted to ask his aunt why she went to Fanyin Temple before Qingming Festival every year, but he didn't ask in the end. Maybe it was related to his father.

Yan Qing did not notice Pei Shiyu's expression. She seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "Why is Yingyi near Fanyin Temple?"

Pei Shiyu's body froze, but he still told Yan Qing everything: "I sent Yingyi to follow Miss Luo. Miss Luo has caused quite a stir in the capital these days..."

Listening to the ups and downs in Pei Shiyu's words, Yan Qing's eyes remained unchanged, and he said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty is right to do this. Just looking at the performance of this Miss Luo when I was assassinated, it is indeed not to be underestimated."

Pei Shiyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Qing's expression remained normal.

Although he had already revealed to his aunt that he was not a good person, he was always afraid that his aunt would be unhappy, so unless necessary, he did not want to show his dark side to her.

Yan Qing noticed the change in Pei Shiyu's eyes, but she only thought that Pei Shiyu was uncomfortable with his own dishonorable method, and completely forgot that Pei Shiyu had once ordered someone to assassinate Jiang Huaixu and was quite adept at this matter.

Yan Qing said with mixed feelings: "Your Majesty, as a monarch, you must make decisions when necessary and must not be soft-hearted."

Pei Shiyu responded obediently: "I will follow my aunt's instructions."

Pei Shiyu was concerned about Yan Qing's injuries and was afraid that it would affect her recovery, so he didn't stay here for too long. After chatting for a few more words, the two left reluctantly.

After Pei Shiyu left, 012 was excited in Yan Qing's mind: "Yan Yan, the plot progress bar has moved forward a big step!!!"

Hearing this, Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the plot on Jiang Huaixu's side was going smoothly, and the day for her to go offline was getting closer. Finally, she wouldn't have to drink those strange-tasting medicines anymore.

However, this good mood did not last for a few seconds, and Fuyun walked in from the door, holding a tray with two bowls of black medicine on it.

Yan Qing's eyes paused, and he felt the bitterness in his throat before he even drank it.

She asked, "Isn't it just one bowl in the past? Why two bowls today?"

Fuyun replied softly: "An extra bowl will help your Highness recover from his injuries."

Hearing this, Yan Qing didn't waste any words. He took the medicine from Fuyun's hand and drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression. When he looked at the other bowl of medicine, his fingertips tightened uncontrollably.

Ever since he discovered that His Highness was afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, Fuyun could always see at a glance these little movements of His Highness that he himself didn't even notice.

His heart moved slightly, and he moved the medicine bowl forward calmly.

Yan Qing didn't hesitate for too long and just picked it up and drank it.

Yan Qing was stunned as soon as she took a sip. It tasted sweet.

She looked at Fuyun hesitantly: "Is it honey water?"

Fuyun shook his head, with a hint of smile in his tone: "No, I added sucrose. I have asked Doctor Lin, and he said that sucrose cannot be added to drugs that suppress toxins because it will affect the medicinal properties, but this can be added and it will not conflict with other drugs."

Yan Qing didn't say anything else, but drank the medicine with sucrose in it bit by bit. The bitter taste in his throat seemed to have faded a lot.

After they finished drinking, Yan Qing put down the medicine bowl and said calmly: "I'm thoughtful, but you don't need to add more in the future."

Fuyun's eyes dimmed, and the smile disappeared in an instant.

He couldn't understand why His Highness didn't like it, since he was afraid of hardship.

It was obvious that His Highness looked much more relaxed when he drank just now.

"Your Highness, don't you like it?"

He still asked, with emotions he wasn't even aware of.

Yan Qing looked at Fu Yun who asked this question with some surprise. The paleness on her face faded a lot, but the slight redness caused by the pain when the wound at the corner of her eye was bandaged had not yet dissipated.

She said calmly, "I don't like it."

Is it because he is not Pei Zhuo? He is not the right person so I don't like him.

Or did all her hobbies die with Pei Zhuo after his death?

No matter what the reason was, Fuyun was jealous to the point of going crazy.

Jealousy ate away at his sanity. Fuyun uncontrollably exerted force with his hands holding the tray. The tray was made of wood and could not withstand his internal force, so it cracked.

Yan Qing frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

After hearing Yan Qing's question, Fu Yun regained his composure. He could not tell any emotion from his tone: "I think this wooden tray has cracked after being stored for a long time. I didn't notice it when I came here. I didn't expect it to crack at this time."

Due to the influence of the medicine, Yan Qing felt a little sleepy. He didn't pay much attention to Fu Yun's explanation and raised his hand to let them leave.
