An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Ji Yue was slightly surprised: "You know?"

As soon as Wei Lian saw Ji Yue's reaction, he knew that he also understood who the real culprit was.

The hidden guards around the King of Qin are not just for food and drink, and Ji Yue himself is not easy to fool, so why can't we find out the murderer who killed Princess Chonghua.

When the female medical officer handed over the letter burned in the censer to Wei Lian that day, Wei Lian considered all aspects of the incident.

Princess Chonghua was poisoned, and the one who reacted the most was Prince Chen Huyan Kemu.Huyan Kemu has always been hostile to Wei Lian, and also has a heart of admiration for Princess Chonghua, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.The death of Princess Chonghua, Huyan Kemu will definitely complain about it, and question Wei Lian. Wei Lian is from Chu, so even the state of Chu will be involved.

Later, it was revealed that the poison Princess Chonghua had suffered was Chi Yan, which directly dragged Liang Guo into the water.Liang Guo and Chen Guo are feuds, Huyan Kemu quickly shifted his target, targeting Liang Guo, making the situation even more chaotic.

The real culprit calculated Huyan Kemu's psychology correctly, made him jump so hard, and later led to the kumiss incident, and made Huyan Kemu the murderer.

And because Liang and Chu are already suspicious, they will certainly not raise any objections to whether Huyan Kemu is the real culprit. The important thing is to protect themselves and clear up their suspicions. Whether Chen Guo was wronged or not has nothing to do with them.

Chen Guo could only suffer from being dumb.

But the real murderer also knows that such a layout can make Liang and Chu shut up, but it can't convince King Qin.He was afraid that King Qin would continue to pursue the real culprit secretly, so he left another backup.

——Letter from Yeludan.

If a complete letter is found in Ningyue Building, it is obviously a frame-up.It is impossible for someone who can set up such a series of tricks to be so careless.But it happened to be a torn page with only a few words left. On the contrary, it made people think that this was the real culprit.

Princess Chonghua lost her innocence. It happened that Yeludan's whereabouts became a mystery on the same day, and he went back to Yulong Pavilion to take a bath and change clothes at noon. It was confirmed that he was the perpetrator.

Yeludan once fought with Huyan Kemu in the palace to fight for Melna, which is enough to show that Yeludan's defilement of Princess Chonghua is not impossible.

In this way, among the Seven Kingdoms, Chu, Lu, Liang, and Chen were all involved in the vortex, and the loss of a princess in the Yan Kingdom was even more tragic. Offend everyone.

As soon as the plan is in the plan, the game is in the game, and everyone is included in the plan.

There is only one who stays out of the matter from the beginning to the end, watching the fire from the other side, innocent.

Watching the snipe and clam fight each other, reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The Prince Xia who acts low-key and rarely shows up, Wen Heng.

Of course everything needs evidence.Although the most flawless ones are often the most suspicious, you can't give people such a big hat for no reason.

Wei Lian's doubts about Wen Heng were not groundless.

In any case, Chi Yan in kumiss has proven to be an afterthought.Yang Yang didn't have any problems when he secretly drank the kumiss, which means that Chi Yan in the kumiss was made after Princess Chonghua's accident, in order to frame Chen Guo.

When Princess Chonghua's accident happened, almost everyone gathered in Ningyue Building, only one person expressed that he did not want to get involved and chose to leave.

It was Prince Xia Wen Heng.

When everyone was in Ningyue Tower, Wen Heng was the only one who had time to go to the imperial dining room and poison the kumiss.

There is also a possibility that he is a dignified prince, and the poisoning may not necessarily need to be done by himself.But if you think about it in another way, this matter is extremely dangerous. Once it is discovered, Xia Guo will definitely not be able to bear Qin Guo's anger.

What's more interesting is that this Prince Heng is said to be ignorant of martial arts, but has profound attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting.Wei Lian met him face to face just now, but he noticed that there was a callus from martial arts practice in Wen Heng's palm, his footsteps were as vain as possible, and his breath was hard to hide.

They are also good at pretending to be weak, how can Wei Lian fail to see that this is a colleague.

It's not that the other party is pretending badly, it's just that Wei Lian's martial arts are higher, so he can detect a little clue.

But this point is just the evidence of the last accident, Wei Lian found many doubts before this.

After the letterhead incident came out, Yeludan became the most suspected person.

Since Yeludan took a bath and changed his clothes, Wei Lian then sent someone to inquire about the Clothes Bureau, and learned that Yulong Pavilion did not send a change of clothes to the Clothes Bureau.

Where did the changed clothes go?Why not send it to be washed?What is there to hide?

Wei Lian followed the clues and continued to investigate secretly along the palace servants serving Yulong Pavilion.Yeludan can guarantee that he will not reveal his flaws, but he can't guarantee that the palace people around him will also not reveal their flaws. Being in Qin State, he dare not kill people at will to silence them.

Soon, Wei Lian learned from a trembling little court lady that when Yeludan came back from the outside, his clothes were disheveled and he looked terrified. He threw the clothes to her and ordered her to burn them, and warned him not to speak out.

Seeing the mottled marks on the clothes, the little maid thought that Yeludan was lucky to some court lady in the palace, but she never expected to have something to do with Princess Chonghua.But she didn't burn the clothes, but saw that the clothes were expensive, so she became selfish and wanted to wash them and sell them for some money.

Before he thought about it, he was sent by Wei Lian before he made a move, and he was frightened and confessed immediately.

Wei Lian ordered someone to present the clothes, but found traces of bone erosion fragrance left on the clothes.

Ecstasy Bone Fragrance is a strong aphrodisiac.

According to what the maid said, Yeludan looked panicked when he came back, if he was lucky enough to be an ordinary court lady, how could he turn pale with panic.

Obviously, he did defile Princess Chonghua, but he didn't do it voluntarily.A prince should not be so anxious that he would even lose his life.

Just by the smell of bone erosion on his clothes, it can be concluded that Yeludan also fell into someone else's trap.

After the suspicion of Yeludan was ruled out, the most suspicious person became the Prince Xia who had never been involved from the beginning to the end.

Wei Lian visited Ningyue Building that night, and found something strange in Li Chonghua's eyes, so he made a guess.

There were no suspicious blue marks on Li Chonghua's skin, but mostly traces of love, which also made everyone think that Li Chonghua was poisoned through his mouth.

But Wei Lian knew that Chi Yan could be ingested by the eyes.

Mirna only checked Li Chonghua's wrist that day, but did not look into her eyes.However, Imperial Physician Xu, who had seen Li Chonghua's eyes, did not understand Chi Yan's poison.

If Li Chonghua suffered from eye poisoning, then it is meaningless to only investigate the whereabouts of everyone that day, and also investigate the previous two days.

Wei Lian checked the whereabouts of everyone two days ago, and learned that Wen Heng had gone out two days ago.

Things can be connected in series here.

Two days before Li Chonghua's death, Yu Lian slandered Wei Lian by the Qinyuan Lake and pushed her into the water. Wei Lian retaliated on the spot and went back, lying on the lakeside crying miserably.

No one knew who Li Chonghua met after Wei Lian and the others left.

Wei Lian deduced that it was very likely that Wen Heng went out that day and ran into Princess Chonghua who was crying by the lake, and on a whim, handed the poisoned handkerchief to Princess Chonghua to wipe her tears.

The poison entered Princess Chonghua's eyes from then on.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain how a poison can get in from the eyes.

It is said that Wen Heng made a sudden move because the traces of Wen Heng's going out that day can be found, which shows that he did not expect to meet Princess Chonghua after going out, and he did not cover up his whereabouts that day.Two days later, Changsheng reported that Wen Heng hadn't gone out all day. In fact, Wen Heng had never been out. It can be seen that Wen Heng had intentionally concealed his whereabouts at that time and did a good job in his alibi.

As for the matter of carrying poison with you, there is no need to delve into it. People of the royal family always have means to save their lives.

After giving the poison to Princess Chonghua, Wen Heng set up a series of big plans.He eroded the bones of Yeludan's clothes and designed it to tarnish Princess Chonghua.After Yeludan woke up, he definitely didn't dare to speak out, and those who defiled the King of Qin were undoubtedly looking for death.So Yeludan hurriedly fled back to Yulong Pavilion to change clothes and take a bath, and then ordered the clothes to be destroyed and the body to be wiped out, so that the matter of eroding soul fragrance under the temperature balance could be concealed.

After Princess Chonghua fell into a coma after being humiliated, Wen Heng took advantage of this to lurk in the Ningyue Tower, and put the so-called broken pages of the so-called envelope that had been prepared in the incense burner, further expanding Yeludan's suspicion.

In terms of geographical location, the Shenshuiwu where Xia Guo lived was just behind Ningyue Building, and Wen Heng also concealed the fact that he knew martial arts, so it was really easy to come and go between the two places without anyone noticing.

Later, when Princess Chonghua woke up, no matter how panicked she didn't mention it, she must have dared not speak out at the first moment.The value of her coming is the marriage. If she loses her innocence, she will be the first to die.

So she put on her clothes, ate and drank the medicine pretending nothing happened, not wanting that just after drinking the medicine, it happened to be the time for the poison to develop.

After the Dongchuang incident, everyone gathered in Ningyuelou to be suspicious of each other. The real murderer, Wen Heng, had already gone to the Imperial Dining Room to poison the kumiss.

When Yeludan and Huyan Kemu fought for Melna, the envoy of Xia Kingdom had already arrived in Qin Kingdom, and Wen Heng was watching with cold eyes, and learned of their lustful nature, and then made a series of plans.

Pulling Chen, Liang, Lu, and Chu into the water, and calculating everyone's psychology, everyone is speechless, and everyone is playing with applause.

Wen Heng planned every step of the way, and this game of chess was not insane.

But he has calculated thousands of times, calculated the thoughts of every big man, but missed the uncontrollability of the little people.

If Yang Yang hadn't secretly drank the kumiss, Wei Lian would not have completely ruled out Chen Guo's suspicion.

If it wasn't for the court lady not burning the clothes out of selfishness, Wei Lian would not have noticed the bone-corroding fragrance on the clothes, and thus knew that Yeludan was also being plotted by others.

And it won't... let Xia Guo, who hides the deepest, surface.

One hundred secrets and one sparse, in the end the whole game will be lost.

Wei Lian summed up the cause and effect, covered up some unspeakable things, and told Ji Yue the rest.

After hearing this, Ji Yue kissed his forehead: "Smart."

"Don't talk about these things." Wei Lian glanced at him, "You really don't care?"

Ji Yue is not a person who can be calculated by others.

"Gu knows it's him, and Gu also knows that he wants to disturb the peace of the six kingdoms, so that Xia Guo can live on." Ji Yue chuckled, "Except for one capital city, the rest of Xia Kingdom belongs to Daqin, and it has long been in subjugation. Marginal. Wen Heng is not bad, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tries to turn the tide, he will not be able to save Xia Guo from falling."

"Chen Guo has been acting secretly in recent years. He has been restless for a long time, and he has long wanted to deal with it. This time, he sent troops to Chen Guo this time. It's not that Wen Heng's calculation succeeded, but that he was going to deal with Chen. He gave me a name for nothing. It's too late for Gu to thank you." Ji Yue paused, "In comparison, Xia Guo really doesn't even have the value of asking Gu to send troops."

The State of Xia is too weak, and there is another State of Chu separated from the State of Qin. If Xia is defeated, the State of Chu in the middle will not sit still and wait for death.

This is also the reason why Ji Yue kept a capital city in Xia Kingdom and didn't destroy it completely.

If you want to destroy Xia, you must first conquer Chu.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to have a Chu country in such a huge territory.

This is why Wen Heng mainly targeted Chen and Lu this time.Chu and Xia are closely related, one prospers and the other loses, Xia will not really put Chu in danger.

Wei Lian was naturally aware of the stakes.

If Ji Yue really wanted to move Xia, Chu State would be in danger.At present, there is not much need to move Chu, but Chen Guo, who makes small moves frequently, is imminent.If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake, why not, as long as you understand it in your heart.

"Wei Lian." Ji Yue said, "Being a king never deals with whoever is wrong, but only with whoever is harmful."
