A glance at the spring breeze

Ruan Lan took a step back in shock.

Unexpectedly, the arrows of that shape, apart from those used by the person who attacked him that night, were actually...

Ruan Lan's shoulders couldn't help trembling slightly.

Yin Jian continued: "This kind of arrow is obviously different from the usual royal military or ordinary civilians in terms of material and shape. It stands to reason that as long as arrows of this shape exist, there will always be manufacturing and production. The clues used, even if the murderer cannot be found immediately, the creator can be found along these clues."

When Ruan Lan was attacked at the inn that day, she only glanced at those arrows briefly, and knew that they were well-made, and they were definitely not something ordinary people could make by themselves, so they couldn't be used by ordinary hunters.The two arrows in the ghost house should have been placed for a long time. Although the arrows have some old traces, they can still be recognized by Ruan Lan at a glance. It can be seen that their materials are excellent and can withstand the erosion of the external environment.

This kind of well-made weapon of unknown origin has always been a taboo in the eyes of the emperor. If the arrow is simple and rough in workmanship and simple in material, it will be fine, but it is of high quality. He seeks help from his mother's murderer.

Ruan Lan asked: "Your Majesty, is there any result?"

Yin Jian said: "Yes, but it can also be said that there is no such thing. According to reports from the palace spies, this type of arrow has disappeared a few years ago."

Ruan Lan asked in surprise, "How could this be? On the first day after escaping from the capital, I was obviously attacked by someone with this kind of feather arrow."

Yin Jian looked at him, his dark eyes were bottomless: "Could it be that time that Qi Mo just said outside?"

"That's right. When I met him at the inn in Langchi, he was being hunted down by a group of people from the Western Regions, and I was ambushed by another group of unidentified people. I thought it was General Wei..."

"It's not him." Yin Xian said suddenly, "Since you left, I have sent someone to spy on General Wei. His every move is under my control. Although he is very powerful, as far as I know, until When I left the palace a few days ago, he couldn't find any trace of you, let alone find the inn where you temporarily stayed and intercept you just one day after you left the palace. People, absolutely cannot be his people."

"So, Your Majesty has long thought that I didn't kill Wei Wanpin?"

Yin Jianyang said with his lips: "I still need to think about it? You and I have slept together for so many years, and I know everything about your body. Ruan Lan, you don't know martial arts since you were a child, how could you assassinate with your own strength? Concubine Wei then ran away?"

Although this is indeed the case, why does Ruan Lan always feel that she is underestimated?

However, Yin Jian's words reminded him all the time - right now, the whole thing is becoming more and more complicated.

Ruan Lan originally thought that this matter was really what she thought before, that it was Wang Guifei who planned to kill Wei Wanpin, and then blamed him.

Looking at it now, Miss Wang is really unnecessary.

She was already the imperial concubine in charge of the six palaces, and she had the eldest son and daughter of the emperor, but Wei Wanpin had just entered the palace and had no heirs, so she had no need to send assassins into the palace at the risk of being beheaded. And on the night of Yin Jian's birthday, Wei Wanpin was hurriedly killed.

Even if she had this idea and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, arranging him a charge of "absconding in fear of crime" and blaming Concubine Wei's death on him, then there was no need to implicate the princess, but she could directly send a killer to pick him up , and then kill him when the time is right.

Why go around such a big circle, just to get rid of two people who pose no threat to her at all?

Weird, so weird.

Wait, what if you think about it from another angle?

If the imperial concubine was deceived like him and Qin'er...

Could it be that……

In this matter, not only he and Qin'er were deceived, but also the noble concubine also received the news, thinking that she was going to flee, so she tried every means to contact the princess and send him out of the palace?

He suddenly remembered that besides Yin Xian and him in the palace, only the noble concubine seemed to know that his mother was raised by Yin Xian in the courtyard in the east of the city.

Will it be—

Could it be that the person behind the scenes killed his mother in order to show it to the imperial concubine.Let the imperial concubine believe that it is he who wants to escape from the palace, that he has nothing to worry about in the imperial city, and that he begged her to find a way to contact the princess and send him out of the palace!

Unlike Ruan Lan who has no relatives in the court and the public, the imperial concubine's father's family is now very powerful in the court and has a very wide network of contacts. If you want to check something, you will be able to find it out.Therefore, only when Ruan's mother really died, and Yin Jian refrained from talking about it, could Wang Yatou feel that she had to help him.

But how did Miss Wang think that he wanted to leave the palace?

Just a little short of--

I figured it out now...

Assassins... enter the palace...

Ruan Lan's heart moved, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, the assassins in the palace that night only came to He Yuxuan?"

Yin Jian just watched him bow his head and meditate for a long time, but he didn't make a sound to disturb him.Unexpectedly, Ruan Lan suddenly asked such an irrelevant question, and she was rather curious: "Why do you want to ask this?"

Ruan Lan could only say, "It's related to this matter."

Yin Xian replied: "Except for He Yuxuan, they also went to the Imperial Study Room at first, but they soon returned. Maybe they thought I was in the Imperial Study Room, so they..." "No."

Those people did not seek fault at all.

Because what they went to was not the Royal Study Room at all.

From his He Yuxuan to the direction of the imperial study, there is another Bihua Palace, which is the sleeping palace of Wang Guifei!

It turned out to be the case.

That's it!

Under the guise of assassinating the emperor, the assassin went to the imperial study, but in fact he went to Bihua Palace not far next door to deliver a letter to the noble concubine in his name!

Therefore, Miss Wang was also deceived by the assassin who came that night.

If this is the truth, then this is not just killing two birds with one stone!The person behind the scenes played him, the imperial concubine, the princess, and Yin Jian all over the place, but never showed up from the beginning to the end, and properly grasped the trust and suspicion between the four of them.

"What's wrong?" Yin Jian asked from the side, "Ruan Lan, do you know something?"

"I……"

If you tell Yin Jian all these things, then you will betray Yin Qin'er who kindly helped him; if the above guesses are all true, then telling Yin Jian is equivalent to betraying the noble concubine as well.Yin Qin'er and Yin Jian are siblings, even if they tricked Yin Jian into helping him out of the palace, Yin Jian would still let her go out of brother-sister relationship and would not be harsh.However, the noble concubine is different... She is Yin Xian's concubine in the harem, if Yin Xian knows that the girl Wang obeyed the assassin's wishes and helped her former childhood sweetheart escape from the palace...

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

He remembered that one night before he left the palace, Yin Jian told him that the confinement of the noble concubine for three months was a crime of "meeting her lover in private".He and the imperial concubine had just exchanged two or three sentences at the beginning, but Yin Jian could call him a "secret lover". The relationship between them is more suspicious.It doesn't matter to him, but it's not good for a noble concubine in a high position.

Ruan Lan thought about her words for a while, and answered lightly: "I'm not right, because the assassins that night did not come to assassinate His Majesty. Those assassins actually came to me under the guise of assassinating His Majesty, saying they would help me Leave the palace."

The expression on Yin Jian's face was slightly surprised, but it was obvious that he didn't believe it: "It's actually like this?"

"Ah."

"Then, you agreed?"

"……Um."

"But you have always been smart, how could you believe them once they said it?"

Yin Jian's question was quite reasonable, even if those assassins came in the name of Princess Yueyang, what the assassins said that night was full of doubts, and there were many things worthy of suspicion.

However, Ruan Lan just believed it.Believe it without hesitation.

Even Ruan Lan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, whether he was dazzled by the word "leaving the palace" at that time.

He could only say: "Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, in short, I never lied."

It's just a little concealment.

Yin Jian observed the expression on Ruan Lan's face, and it was true that her face was not blushing, her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't look like she was lying.He closed his eyes and sighed: "Forget it, after all, I can tell...you have long wanted to leave the palace."

"..."

"But...aside from these, I actually came here this time to ask you a question." Yin Jian said seriously, "Alan, I wonder if you would like to go back with me?"

"what?"

Ruan Lan almost thought that she had heard wrong, her eyes widened in shock.

So Yin Jian repeated it again: "I don't know, would you like to go back with me? No hurry... no hurry, you take your time to think about it. I will leave for Songshan in three days. If you don't want to go back with me, I will Do not force it any more.”

"What are you brothers talking about?" At this moment, Qi Mo suddenly walked in from the door, Qi Wen was still on his shoulders, "We have helped you tidy up the house, so you brothers can sleep in one room tonight .Xiaowen will sleep with me, so you don’t have to disturb Granny Lu.”

Qi Wen rolled his eyes: "Who wants to sleep with you, I want to sleep with big brother, hehe."

Qi Mo also rolled his eyes back: "You want to sleep with big brother, but he doesn't want to sleep with you."

Qi Wen "humph" said: "That's not necessarily true." He turned his head to look at Yin Jian, with a childish light in his eyes and a look of expectation on his face, "Big brother, will you tell me a story tonight? My brother's story It's too ugly, and it's not as good as Granny Lu's."

Qi Mo pulled Qi Wen from behind and patted him on the head with a "paji", "It's good to hear a story, pick whatever you want."

Qi Wen stuck out his tongue and made a grimace.

"My brother hasn't heard me tell a story for a long time." Yin Jian looked down at Ruan Lan and said, "Is that right, Ah Lan?"

It took Ruan Lan a long time to answer "Yes".

Qi Mo said: "You see, the two brothers have been separated for many days, and they want to catch up on the old days at night, so how can they have time to take care of you, a poor boy."

Unconvinced, Qi Wen stared and said: "If I were a little boy, wouldn't you be a big boy!"
