The Indifferent Prince's Substitute
Chapter 75
Witch case?Lin Yan's heart moved, could the seal on the prince's face be related to this case?
"What month was that?" he asked.
Uncle Zhang thought for a while, "It should be June."
Lin Yan wrote it down, and asked some specific details about the witchcraft case.Everything about that case was suppressed by the emperor at that time, and Zhang Bo only heard a few words from his friends in the palace, so he didn't know much about it.
After Lin Yan asked Uncle Zhang to leave, he rested for a while, took a cloth soaked in water, and moistened Rong Yuan's dry lips. After dinner in the evening, he lit another incense stick, lay on the table, and thought to himself June is the year when the juvenile Rong Yuan and the witchcraft case happened.
This time, the place where he appeared was changed. In a corridor in the hall, there were delicate glazed lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, and voices could be heard from the half-closed door on the left.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has been kneeling outside the door for a day and a night, and not a single drop of rice water has entered, so please let him go back." A male voice said.
"He poisoned Yuan'er, and Yuan'er is unconscious now! Let him continue to kneel!" Another male voice said angrily.
The prince has been poisoned? !Lin Yan was startled, and quickly walked to the door and looked in. A man in bright yellow pajamas was standing by the window, and a middle-aged man in official uniform stood beside him.
"His Royal Highness was also deceived by others. Besides, His Royal Highness is also for Your Majesty. He doesn't want your Dragon Qi to be taken away by the Second Prince." The middle-aged man said.
The emperor scolded angrily: "Confused! I also believe the nonsense of the mad Taoist! What kind of witchcraft is just pretending to be a ghost!"
"Your Majesty, it's not all about playing tricks. The second prince is really weird. Last time, the horse was clearly going towards the second prince, but it suddenly changed direction and stepped on you. The second prince is intact, you But he was injured. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice." The middle-aged man looked serious, "And it is true that under the second prince's bed, a doll with you and his birthday was found. The Taoist can say , The voodoo technique used by the second prince will absorb the dragon energy in your body, allowing you to protect him from disasters, and the damage he receives will be reflected on your body."
The emperor frowned and was about to speak, when the middle-aged man continued: "And I have heard rumors that the second prince is the real dragon. As the second prince grows up, the dragon energy in his body will become stronger and stronger, and Your Majesty, the dragon energy in your body will become weaker and weaker."
The emperor's complexion changed and he sank.
"Your Majesty." The middle-aged man spoke again slowly, "You are the true dragon. You are still young, and this country belongs to you. How can you allow others to covet it so early? His Royal Highness wants to protect your status as a true dragon. To protect you, I heard that the poison can reflect the damage back to the second prince, so I poisoned the second prince, his sincerity towards you can be learned from the sun and the moon."
The emperor was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Has the poison in Yuan'er been found out?"
The middle-aged man nodded, "It's been found out. It's a poison called Spring Drunkenness from outside the territory. It's a bit special. The antidote is hard to find, but it's not impossible to find it. As long as we send more people out, we can always find the antidote." Medicine."
"Send more people to find the antidote." The emperor ordered.
"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed in response, and asked again, "Then His Royal Highness, did your servant send him back?"
"Send him back." The emperor sullenly said, "Let the empress teach him well, and never do such a thing again!"
"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed and retreated.
Lin Yan listened to all the conversations between the two, and felt turbulent in his heart. As soon as the middle-aged man left, he hurried outside.It turned out that Rong Yuan's poisoning was actually caused by the crown prince, and judging from the emperor's plan, there was no intention of pursuing it.
The layout of the palace has not changed for more than ten years.Lin Yan came out of the emperor's bedroom, identified the direction in the dark night, and walked towards the cold palace.
The cold palace was pitch black, only one room was lit with candles, Lin Yan walked to the door, just as Zi Yuan opened the door and came out, he took the opportunity to sneak in.
In the room, Concubine Jing was sitting by the bed, looking down at the unconscious young man on the bed, her face was pale and her eyes were red.
Lin Yan hurried to the bedside, the young Rong Yuan's unconscious face overlapped with the real one's, his heart felt like a knife was twisted, and he was extremely anxious.What about the big monster, the big monster that sealed Rong Yuan, why hasn't he appeared yet?
Concubine Jing got up from the bed, her weak body swayed, seeing that she was about to fall, Lin Yan didn't think much, and reached out to help her, Concubine Jing said gratefully, "Thank you."
"Oh, no thanks." After Lin Yan answered reflexively, she was suddenly startled, and suddenly turned her head to look at Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing went to the table and moistened her lips with cold tea, turned her head to look at Lin Yan, and smiled at him with all her strength, "Look at the distance?"
"...you, can you see me?" Lin Yan's shocked eyeballs almost fell off, and he stammered.
"Yeah." Concubine Jing nodded lightly, and smiled at him gently, "I saw you the first time you came here. There are very few people in my cold palace, let alone little monsters. I'm worried about scaring you. I won’t come to play in the future, so I didn’t let you know.”
Lin Yan came back to her senses and realized that Concubine Jing regarded him as a little monster who sneaked here from elsewhere to play.
But he went back from the past, Concubine Jing is only a human being, why can she see him?Now is not the time to worry about these things, the most important thing is to find the big monster who sealed Rong Yuan.
Lin Yan temporarily concealed the huge shock in her heart, and didn't want to waste any more time, so she asked Concubine Jing directly, "Do you know any other monsters? Wang... the poison in the second prince's poison, the antidote is hard to find, only the seal can suppress it."
Concubine Jing was startled, and looked at him unexpectedly, "How do you know Yuan'er was poisoned?"
Lin Yan pursed her lips and thought about it, and then said the conversation he just heard.
After hearing this, Concubine Jing shook her body, supported the table and sat on the chair, her complexion suddenly turned pale.
Lin Yan walked up to her and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Concubine Jing shook her head and laughed miserably, "I should have known that behind the crown prince, there is a powerful mother clan backing up, but behind Yuan'er, there is nothing. How could the emperor offend the queen's line for Yuan'er What's more, Yuan'er has the blood of a real dragon flowing in his body, the emperor has grown jealous of Yuan'er since he knew about it. If something happens to Yuan'er, he no longer has to worry about losing his throne."
Lin Yan was stunned and couldn't help saying: "But the king... the second prince is his child..."
Concubine Jing's eyes turned cold, and her words were bleak, "As an emperor, the most important thing is children. A child's life is as important as the throne."
"You just said that the seal can save Yuan'er, what's the matter?" Concubine Jing has calmed down, and she understands that relying on the emperor will not save Rong Yuan, she asked Lin Yan.
"...I don't know too well, but it should be a seal of a big monster, and I should know you." Lin Yan said a little helplessly. He didn't understand why the big monster didn't show up yet, and Concubine Jing seemed to I really don't know what other monsters look like.
Concubine Jing lowered her eyes and pondered after listening, Lin Yan asked again without giving up: "You really don't know other monsters?"
"I don't know." Concubine Jing raised her head and smiled, "I can see monsters since I was a child, and I had a monster playmate when I was young. But after entering the palace, I rarely saw monsters again. You are the first one in these years. .”
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes again, and gently stroked a jade pendant on her chest with her fingers, thoughtfully.
After hearing this, Lin Yan anxiously looked at Rong Yuan on the bed, why did this happen, why couldn't he find that big monster, did something go wrong?
Lin Yan was very anxious, he didn't dare to think about what would happen to Rong Yuan if something happened.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Concubine Jing caressing a jade pendant on her chest with her eyes downcast. The jade pendant was very special, it was dark red, darker than the ruby on Rong Yuan's body before.
Just a little strange, I wanted to ask, but suddenly my eyes went dark, and the incense burnt out, and he came back.
Lin Yunhe and Xinghe were dozing off together with their heads leaning against each other, Lin Yan stood up abruptly from the chair, the movement of getting up woke up Xinghe, rubbed his eyes and asked dimly: "Brother, you are back, did you find that big monster?" ?”
"No." Lin Yan went over and grabbed Lin Yunhe and shook him vigorously, "Master, wake up!"
Lin Yunhe's bones were about to fall apart when he shook him, he woke up and screamed, "Stop, stop, I'm awake!"
"Master, there seems to be something wrong, I didn't find that big monster!" Lin Yan quickly explained the matter, and asked anxiously, "Master, what's going on?"
Lin Yunhe frowned after hearing this, stroked his beard and said in thought: "You haven't changed anything, logically there will be no accidents. You said that the prince's mother and concubine have a red jade pendant like the one on the prince's body?"
"Well." Lin Yan nodded, "but the color is much darker and the style is more refined, it seems to be a few years old. The prince's mother and concubine seem to be in poor health. According to what Zhang Bo said before, she will soon be sick. Passed away from illness, the prince is so sad..."
He kept chattering, Lin Yunhe heard it, a thought suddenly turned in his mind, his heart skipped a beat, and sank.
"I have to go back and look for it." Lin Yan stopped talking, poured a cup of tea and drank it in one go, wiped his mouth, and said.
"Brother, it's late now, why don't you take a rest and go back tomorrow." Yin Yin yawned and persuaded.
"No, I can't find that big monster, I can't sleep." Lin Yan glanced at Rong Yuan who was still lying unconscious on the bed, and couldn't find a way to wake Rong Yuan up for a moment, so he couldn't fall asleep for a moment.
"Go." Lin Yunhe patted his arm, got up and lit incense for him.
"Apprentice," Lin Yunhe picked up the only two incense sticks left, paused, turned around and said solemnly, "No matter what happens when you go back, you must not interfere in it, remember, you are just a bystander, the purpose is to save the prince .If you intervene, the past will change, and everything that happened between you and the prince will also change."
Lin Yan didn't know why his master said these words to him suddenly, and nodded blankly: "I know master, I won't, don't worry."
Lin Yunhe lit the incense, and a moment later, Lin Yan fell asleep on the table again.Xinghe asked puzzledly: "Master, why did you tell senior brother like that just now? There is still this incense, only one left, is it enough?"
Lin Yunhe sighed deeply, did not answer, just stretched out his hand and patted his head, and said: "It is enough, after this incense is used, we should be able to know the whereabouts of that big monster."
