Chapter 384: Escorted back to Beijing
Yan Li effortlessly obtained the confession from Dugu Qingyun Gai's private seal.
Before leaving the post house, she warned: "The prince first went to comfort his sister, and then told the envoy that the accident was unintentional. Thanks to the palace getting the news and coming to the rescue in time, the two princesses were spared." Yu Difficulty."
Dugu Qingyun's face was ugly, but he still managed to smile, with a rather sinister tone: "Thank you very much, Princess 깊."
"You're welcome, this is what the Jin State should do as the host." Yan Li replied calmly, "But because you are indeed in trouble on the territory of the Jin State, unfortunately, the number of guards and envoys who died, please ask Prince Dugu to do it." According to statistics, their pension will be paid by the State of Jin."
Dugu Qingyun said in a bad tone: "No, I can afford this pension myself."
Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "In that case, I won't be polite to Prince Dugu and will leave first."
"Wait a minute." Dugu Qingyun frowned slightly, with some suspicion on his face, "You have obtained the confession. Can the eldest princess tell me truthfully that there is really someone in the South Kingdom involved?"
Yan Li's expression was subtle: "Prince Dugu, do you think I am cheating on you?"
"Who is involved in this?"
"I'm not that powerful yet." Yan Li said indifferently, turned around and walked out, "The only thing that is certain is that Shen Yunniang is a chess piece of a powerful person in the Southern Kingdom, and there are chess pieces like Shen Yunniang who are proficient in the art of charm, and there are also chess pieces in the Yan Kingdom. "
Dugu Qingyun's expression changed, and he chased after him consciously: "There is one in Yanguo too? Who is it?"
"Princess 녤 has never been to Yan Kingdom, how can she know who it is? Prince Dugu should go back and check it out by himself."
After saying these words, Yan Li walked away without looking back.
Dugu Qingyun's face turned green and white, and he stared coldly at Yan Li's back, feeling very disgusted with being controlled by others.
He couldn't help but wonder, where did Yan Li come from? He was obviously young and had never had any strange people as his teacher. Why did he always look like he was in control of the overall situation?
Her mother is really a ghost.
After Yan Li left the post house, he went directly back to Han Mansion.
The process of Mu Cang's interrogation of Han Yun has also ended.
In the deliberate guidance of her and Mu Cang, the two confessions of Dugu Qingyun and Han Yun had roughly the same meaning, both pointing the finger at Yan Jin, the fourth prince of Shengjing.
"Princess, the grudges are clear." Yan Li put the two confessions together and compared them slightly, "Others respect me three feet, and I respect them one foot; if others want to harm me, I definitely have no intention of repaying evil with kindness." ”
Mu Cangdan said: "Yang Yi will arrive in Fenglu early tomorrow morning and ask him to take these two confessions back. Han Yun, Han Yunshuo and Shen Yunniang will be escorted back to Shengjing. All those who participated in the ambush will not be left behind. If you are an accomplice, let the emperor and empress deal with it when the time comes.”
"Yes." Yan Li nodded, "By the way, I asked Yang Yi to bring back some news. He said that the princess had been plotted against. She was seriously injured and could not bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling. She needs to stay here for treatment and rest for half a month. go back."
The conspiracy against the eldest princess will only increase the anger of the emperor and queen, and all the culprits will naturally be severely punished. Tianlai Novel Network
In addition, while Yang Yi is escorting the prisoner back to Beijing, Yan Li and Mu Cang can take the opportunity to go to the South Country. When he returns to Shengjing to bring a message to the emperor, Yan Li needs half a month to recuperate, which is enough time for Yan Li Li and Muchang arrived at the Southern Imperial City.
Half a month is neither short nor long.
Even if the Emperor and Queen of Jin were concerned about her injuries, it was not worth sending people back and forth to check on her injuries.
Yan Li and Mu Cang can have up to twenty days to freely arrange their time. Of course, even if there is a business delay in the middle, there is not a logical reason to explain it.
After lunch, Mu Cang and Yan Li made sure that everyone who should be accommodated was properly placed and everyone who should be controlled was under control.
The two of them went shopping in Fenglu Market and rode horses to the military camp to wander around.
In the evening, they received a letter from Yang Yi. Yan Li wrote back and asked them to come directly. Everything is under control here. There are no checkpoints, no roadblocks, and no ambushes along the way.
So early the next morning, Yang Yi led 900 elite troops to arrive on time.
As soon as they arrived, they had more manpower, making everything easier and more convenient. After handing over to Lin Jian and the others, the soldiers rested for half a day, replenished food and water, and quickly put the prisoner into the prison car and returned to Beijing with all the evidence.
Silence returned to Fenglu City immediately.
Before Yan Li and Mu Cang left Fenglu, Lin Jian came to see her: "After Wan Niang got married to a humble position, she didn't do anything she shouldn't do. Will the eldest princess let her go?"
"It's not my decision whether or not to let her go." Yan Li said indifferently, "She is someone else's chess piece. Who knows who will give her an order to kill you in the middle of the night."
Lin Jian's expression changed slightly: "She...should not know how to do it."
Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
Lin Jian said nothing, but his expression was one of inability to let go and hesitation.
"I won't kill her, but you still have to be on guard when you need to." Yan Li said indifferently, "You are the commander, in charge of a military force, and you are responsible for the safety of the entire Fenglu people. The lives of your parents, brothers, sister-in-law, and son depend on you. It’s the hand of one person, so you decide whether to trust her or guard against her.”
Lin Jian bowed: "Yes, thank you Princess Princess for your kindness."
"Go back."
"I resign from my humble position."
That night, Yan Li and Mu Cang lay head to head on the ridge of the highest roof of Han Mansion, looking at the few stars in the night sky. Yan Li suddenly felt something and asked, "Mucang."
"Um?"
"You said that after I died, if I had not been reborn into Yan Li's body, would I have become a star in the sky now?"
Mu Cang froze when he heard the words, then turned his head and stared at her face closely.
It was hard to see clearly at night, and only the outline of her face could be seen vaguely: "No."
"Why?"
"Didn't the high priest say that? You can't become a star as long as your lamp is not extinguished."
"But according to common sense, my body is actually dead." Yan Li frowned, "How can a dead person really come back to life?"
Mu Cang didn't speak.
He couldn't answer this question.
Although there are many things in the priest's hall that mortals can't imagine, such as astrology, divination, and prediction of the future, they protect the orthodox royal family of the Southern Kingdom and their people like a guardian god.
Some high priests with high cultivation do have spiritual power to communicate with the gods, but they are not omnipotent.
If a person dies for one or two days, there may be a chance of survival.
But if breathing stops for half a year or even a year, no matter how well the body is preserved, it will lose vitality little by little, the internal organs will begin to fail, and all body functions will stop functioning.
Even if the priests' hall really has a way to let her return to her previous body and come back to life, will she still be the same as before?
