“Xu Qian!” Wei Yuan enunciated each word clearly, his expression serious.
Emperor Yuan jing obviously didn’t care about the name of the small gong. He looked at Wei Yuan and was surprised that the eunuch would say the name of the gong in such a serious tone.
he’s a man of great potential. He was the one who investigated the case of the little Flag Officer and Zhou chixiong, and he was also the one who pointed out the source of the gunpowder. Emperor Yuan jing took a sip of tea and looked down at the chessboard. As he placed a piece, he said, ”
so many days have passed. What’s the progress on his side? I heard from eunuch Liu that the kid goes out early in the morning and returns late at night. The eunuch who recorded his whereabouts couldn’t find him.
I did find something, ” Wei Yuan continued, “”County Magistrate Zhao of Taikang County died in the government office’s dungeon early in the morning yesterday.”
“Magistrate Chen has already reported the matter,” Emperor Yuan jing nodded.
Wei Yuan continued, ” the cause of death is natural. There are no external injuries, poisoning, suffocation, or any other external means. It’s either a Taoist Yin God or a wizard from the northeast.”
Bang … The White chess piece in Emperor Yuan jing’s hand fell on the chessboard.
The Emperor, with his thick black hair and crow’s feet at the corner of his eyes, was silent for a few seconds. He picked up the falling chess piece with a smile and threw it into the box.
“I’ve been playing for so many years, but I’ve never won once. Boring.”
Wei Yuan stood up and bowed.
Emperor Yuan jing turned to the Crown Prince and asked, “”I heard that the day before the Spirit Dragon suddenly went crazy and threw Lin an into the lake?”
The Crown Prince lowered his head and replied,”at that time, Lin ‘an was riding on the Spirit Dragon and playing on the surface of the water. It was huaiqing who whistled and disturbed the Spirit Dragon. Only then did Lin’ an fall into the water.”
The Crown Prince and the princess of Lin an were born of the same mother. Princess huaiqing used evil means to bully Lin an. As the DI older brother, there was no problem with him saying so.
Seeking the truth, but slightly leaning towards Lin ‘an in the heart, in the eyes of his Imperial father, this was a kind of “simple.”
“But there’s one thing that I’ve been concerned about, but I haven’t figured it out,” the Crown Prince added.
“The Spirit Dragon’s reaction was too intense,” Emperor Yuan jing said.
Except for himself, the Spirit Dragon treated the princes and princesses equally, including the Crown Prince.
Whether it was a Crown Prince or a Prince, as long as they didn’t ascend the throne, they were essentially the same.
“Father, it’s not just that.” “Not only did the Spirit Dragon shake off Lin ‘an, it also excitedly swam towards huaiqing. It even hit the shore with its head and laid down on the shore, waiting for huaiqing to ride it.”
Emperor yuanjing’s pupils suddenly shot out a sharp light, and he stared at the Crown Prince. “Huaiqing has a Mount?”
“The strange thing is, when huaiqing was about to ride it, the Spirit Dragon was unusually resistant and forced huaiqing to retreat.” The Crown Prince shook his head.
Hearing this explanation, Emperor Yuan jing frowned and thought for a moment, “”I’m going to take a look at the Spirit Dragon.”
Emperor Yuan jing left on the Dragon carriage.
The Crown Prince and Wei Yuan followed. Before entering the sedan, Wei Yuan asked casually, “”Your Highness, other than Princess huaiqing, who else was with her at that time?”
The eunuch beside him lifted the curtain of the carriage, but the Crown Prince did not immediately enter. He turned around and replied, “”What a coincidence, the copper Gong under Lord Wei is also here.”
Xu Qian … Wei Yuan was stunned.
To the Crown Prince, a small gong was not worth paying attention to. The only reason he remembered him was because the other half of the poem was simply too amazing.
Otherwise, huaiqing had so many trusted aides, and the Crown Prince couldn’t be bothered to remember some insignificant minions.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince lifted the curtain and saw that Wei Yuan was still standing in the same spot.
“Lord Wei, aren’t you going?”
Only then did Wei Yuan react and follow her into the sedan.
The Crown Prince did not put down the curtain and said with a smile, “”But that Gong is really interesting. Bengong did not think that a mere Gong would have such a poetic talent. That day when we held a banquet by the lake, in order to help Lin ‘an out of the predicament, he actually composed a poem on the spot.”
The Crown Prince is telling me that the gong in my hands is already Princess huaiqing’s man … Wei Yuan laughed nonchalantly. It was the last sentence that piqued his interest. He lifted the curtain and said, “”What poem did he write this time?”
No matter if it was ” don’t worry about not having a confidant in the future, who in the world doesn’t know you ” or ” the thin shadow is horizontal and the water is clear, the faint fragrance floats in the evening moon “, to the well-read Wei Yuan, they were all excellent works.
For the past two hundred years, every Da Feng scholar had a talented poet living in their heart.
“When drunk, you don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams that crush the River of Stars!” The Crown Prince said in a clear voice.
What! good poem! Wei Yuan’s eyes brightened as he was deeply stunned by the two lines.
The Crown Prince waited silently for a moment. Sure enough, Wei Yuan’s question came from the sedan chair opposite him, “”What about the first half?”
“There’s nothing else,” the crown prince’s mouth twitched.
No more … Wei Yuan fell into silence.
Seeing that the other side was silent for a long time, the crown prince’s mood instantly became pleasant.
……..
Xu Qi ‘an entered the palace. In the eldest princess’s elegant garden, he saw the Royal eldest daughter, who had small breasts. She was wearing a beautiful palace dress with a white base and decorated with red plum blossoms.
Her hair was tied up in the most popular bun and she was adorned with beautiful jewelry, which complemented her beautiful face.
After Princess huaiqing had the palace maid serve the tea, she smiled and said,”Any progress on the case?”
She was probably asking about the investigation results of Azure Dragon Temple … “There’s indeed some progress,” said Xu Qi ‘an.
Yesterday, under the joint efforts of the Wen Yuan Pavilion, they had found out the rise and fall of the pagoda temple and the current inheritance. The eldest Princess must be asking about related information to the Azure Dragon Temple.
Hearing this, Princess huaiqing’s eyes brightened, and she looked at Xu Qi ‘an expectantly.
Up until now, this little Gong had never disappointed her. She was a first-class person with a keen sense of smell.
When she had recommended him to the night watchman, the eldest Princess had thought of taking him in for her own use, but in her expectations, the process was:Observe, hint, show kindness, and rope.
