Originally, he had planned to find the culprit and take the initiative to attack, but the clues seemed to have been cut off.
Li Hongyuan had one foot on the couch and one foot on the ground. Jingwan naturally sat between his legs with her legs half bent and leaned on him. She was still dressed as she usually did at home, no different from her usual afternoon nap. Unfortunately, now was not the time for her afternoon nap. Moreover, she had slept for more than twenty hours since last night.
At this moment, there was still an afterglow on the horizon. However, he believed that there would be news soon. The days were getting shorter and shorter.
At this moment, Li Hongyuan was very calm. Even the terrifying aura around him seemed to have disappeared. Of course, this was on the premise that one did not look into his eyes. He was completely a quiet and handsome man.
Qing Ju's sobbing had also disappeared. There were quite a number of people present, but it was so quiet that it was scary. It was as if no one dared to breathe. That kind of feeling was really not too good.
"Wake him up," Li Hongyuan said in a low voice.
It was obvious who this person was referring to.
Gong Jiu took out a few silver needles and inserted them. Qing Yi on the ground showed signs of waking up. The main courtyard was the most special place in the prince's mansion. If it was outside, it would not be so comfortable to wake up.
As for Gong Jiu, the kick that Li Hongyuan gave him was not light. He estimated that three of his ribs were broken, but it was actually considered light. If his master had used all his strength, he would have died. After all, breaking his ribs and piercing his heart was not difficult for his master. With such an injury, Gong Jiu only looked a little pale. Other than that, whether it was walking or inserting the needles, his movements were very stable. No one could tell that there was anything wrong with him.
Although Qing Yi had the identity of a spy, but in essence, he was still an actor. He was placed in Jin Qinwang fu early on. It must be known that Li Hongyuan had always concealed it well. Even if he was afraid of him, he did not treat him as a real threat. Because a person, no matter how fierce he was, he would not be able to overturn the heavens. Placing a spy in his mansion was only because he was cautious and did not want to leave anything out. Perhaps, this person was not valued. Perhaps, he had long been forgotten and was entrusted with an important task at this special time …
A member at the lowest level, no matter how sophisticated he was, in front of a person like Li Hongyuan, he was just an ant that could be easily crushed.
Therefore, when he faced Li Hongyuan personally, even if he tried his best to control, his body would still tremble like a sieve. And this appearance, Li Hongyuan's subordinates puzzled and depressed. This kind of person could be a spy? But the truth was, not only was he a spy, he had become one! However, this time, it also taught them a lesson. Sure enough, they could not underestimate anyone. Previously, they did not put this kind of person in their eyes at all. And because they knew their place, they never doubted him. However, this lesson, to them, was really too painful.
If the wangfei was to "sleep and not wake up" … … then the consequences, they did not even dare to think about it. Just the current situation made them tremble uncontrollably.
"That thing, when and where did you get it from?" Li Hongyuan asked calmly.
In fact, Qingyi was the only place that was unfavorable to Jingwan. However, because he did not know what it was — — even if he said it was a venomous insect, according to the results of the interrogation, that was only what the person who gave him the venomous insect told him. He did not know what the insect looked like. Other than knowing that it could make people fall into a deep sleep, he knew nothing. If it was someone who did not know anything about venomous insects, perhaps they would be fooled so easily. But Gong Jiu, who seemed to know a lot about venomous insects but had no memory of it, was an "accident". Therefore, there were still some doubts. Could it be that this person was just a shield, and the real culprit was still hiding?
This question had been asked more than once. Even if he had suffered a great crime before, it was still not as great as the pressure he felt when facing Li Hongyuan. With a trembling voice, he repeated what he had said before.
Although their status was low, there was no absolute prohibition against them leaving the Prince's Mansion. These people, compared to those concubines and concubines who were not allowed to leave the Prince's Mansion, had more freedom.
After that, Li Hongyuan ordered the guards who knew the time of Qingyi's departure. Even if they knew that there was a problem now, they did not dare to hide anything. In fact, all of their statements were the same. There was nothing that did not match. Even if they were questioned carefully, there was nothing suspicious.
"Investigate the other people who were on duty that day again."
Regardless of whether they were related or not, since Li Hongyuan ordered them to investigate, they would definitely investigate again.
There was no problem the first time, and there was no problem the second time. However, on the third time, there was a problem. On that day, there was obviously a guard who changed his patrol time with another guard because of something. In other words, he was not supposed to be on patrol. However, like the other people in the same team, he said that he had seen Qingyi. This was quite abnormal. What was even more abnormal was that the other people in the same team said that this guy was the one who was on patrol with them.
As the leader of the guards, Guard Qian was in charge of the Prince's Mansion's security. Every half a month, he would regroup the guards. The time of Qingyi's departure was about seven or eight days. There was no reason for him to mix up the members of his team. However, the comrade who "took over" said that he was on patrol with them. Moreover, he definitely did not see Qingyi. Under normal circumstances, if twelve people said the same thing, and one person said something different, it was obvious that he would choose to believe the former.
However, Guard Qian and the rest's expressions changed. If they did not call all the guards here and not just those who were on duty that day, this point would probably be overlooked.
When everyone said the same thing, the one who was different might be the key.
Other things aside, in Gong Jiu's hands, there was a type of medicine that could make a person's memory blurry for a certain period of time. If someone deliberately did it, then, they would be able to remember some things that they wanted them to remember.
As for whether this was the case, it was not difficult to prove. All they had to do was to ask about other things in detail.
As expected, other than Qingyi's incident, everyone else's memory was very blurry. Especially the person who changed his patrol, he even had a confused memory.
And this situation was exactly the same as the effect of the medicine in Gong Jiu's hands.
This time, not only Li Hongyuan, but also the others, looked at Gong Jiu with a strange gaze.
Gong Jiu lowered his head slightly and pursed his lips. Compared to his usual indifference, his expression was exceptionally serious. However, Li Hongyuan did not open his mouth to ask, nor did he open his mouth to explain anything.
Even though this matter was not done by him, but the medicine came from his hands. It could basically be confirmed. Then, he had an unshirkable responsibility. However, he had his own private courtyard to study all kinds of things. Others would not easily set foot in it. Usually, he would personally clean the courtyard. Moreover, in order to prevent unrelated people from entering, he had placed a lot of poison in the courtyard. On the surface, no one would be able to find any clues. However, if someone wanted to spy on him, they might lose their life.
Li Hongyuan shifted his gaze away from Gong Jiu and landed on Qingyi, "Take him away and interrogate him."
Qingyi was dragged away. This time's interrogation might not be so simple.
Based on the current situation, it was very likely that Qingyi's gu was not obtained from someone outside, but from someone in Jin Qinwang fu. This person might be the key. Based on the current situation, it was hard to say whether they could interrogate him or not. And before the truth came to light, everyone was a suspect.
Li Hongyuan held Jingwan's hand, his gaze quietly fell on her face. It was unknown what he thought of, but his left foot suddenly curled into a smile. It was sinister, treacherous, cold, and ruthless, intertwined together, incomparably terrifying.
Who was Li Hongyuan? He was the living King of Hell, controlling the power of Qi Yuan. He wanted to see who the rat behind this was. Even if he couldn't find out, he would not let go of one person even if he wrongly killed hundreds of thousands of people. Especially since they chose to target Wan Wan, then they must be prepared to be cut into pieces. For Li Hongyuan, if they made a move on him and succeeded, he might even admire the person behind this.
Making a move on Jin Qinwang Fei, in essence, was still targeting Jin Qinwang. But since they didn't directly target him, it could only mean that the other party was quite afraid of him and knew that if they directly clashed with Li Hongyuan, their chances of winning were too small.
He was the first to be afraid, would Li Hongyuan be afraid of such an opponent?
Li Hongyuan maintained this posture for as long as a quarter of an hour. He waved his hand and let them all leave. He glanced at Qing Ju who was kneeling on the ground as if she had nothing to live for, "Take her away and lock her up, wait for Wangfei's punishment."
After all, she was one of Jingwan's people and had served by Jingwan's side for many years. Li Hongyuan wouldn't easily punish her. This was his respect and love for Jingwan. Although, he knew that when the time came, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that Jingwan wouldn't do anything to Qing Ju.
Probably also understanding this point, Hei Mei and the others slightly breathed a sigh of relief. If Wangye punished her, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that Qing Ju would die. "Not knowing" wasn't a reason to exempt her from the crime.
Qing Ju, on the other hand, didn't have any happy reaction. At this moment, she was surrounded by deep regret and self-blame. From her point of view, it was her fault. It was all her fault that she had harmed the princess consort. The princess consort was still pregnant with a child. If the child was also implicated … If it wasn't for the hope that the princess consort would definitely wake up, Qing Ju might have already used her death as an apology. As for Qing Yi, the sweetness of her young maiden's heart was as much as the hatred for him now. What she hated the most was not that he used her, but that he used her to hurt Wangfei. If he only wanted to get some benefits from her, she might be a little sad in the end.
Jingwan was Li Hongyuan's reverse scale, but for some other people, she was also important.
Qing Yi was interrogated again. This time, she really didn't look like a human. She looked like a pile of rotten meat that was barely holding on to the shape of a human.
"Master, there's a high chance that this actress was also drugged, so we couldn't interrogate her."
Perhaps because he was mentally prepared, Li Hongyuan didn't flare up. "Get ready. We'll go to White Dragon Temple tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
When the city gates opened the next day, Li Hongyuan left the capital with his men in a grandiose manner.
In the morning court, Li Hongyuan was naturally impeached again. Regardless of how Le Chengdi would deal with it, he had injured the city gate guards and used his horse to injure people in the city. He couldn't avoid being impeached.
Le Chengdi also had a headache. That evil spawn clearly hadn't caused any trouble for a long time. How did this happen again?
No matter how much he favoured this son, since the impeachment report came, he couldn't ignore it. At least on the surface, he had to put on an act. However, when he sent someone to Jin Qinwang fu after the court meeting, he was informed that Jin Qinwang had left the capital. The people of the Wangfu took a lot of people away. It seemed that he wouldn't return after going out for a stroll.
Speaking of which, in the past, when he left the capital, he would at least report to him. This time, he actually left without a word. Le Chengdi was so angry that he almost flipped the table. He kept scolding, evil spawn, evil spawn.
As for those brothers of Li Hongyuan, even if Le Chengdi didn't like them, they didn't spare any effort to add oil and vinegar to Le Chengdi's eyes. After all, only by removing Li Hongyuan, the biggest obstacle, other people's chances would be "equal". Therefore, they didn't put Father Emperor in their eyes, failed to live up to Father Emperor's love and care for him, had no regard for law and discipline, and in the long run, it might cause people's resentment and so on.
These words might really add fuel to the fire. However, when Li Hongyuan wasn't here, the unlucky ones were naturally those who jumped around in front of him.
Le Chengdi's anger couldn't be extinguished, but he also knew that his son couldn't have left the capital for no reason. Even yesterday's incident might have a reason. Therefore, he let people investigate first.
However, when he sent people to Jin Qinwang Fu to inquire, he didn't get any results. Because all the insiders in the Wang Fu were taken away by Li Hongyuan. No matter who it was, to be able to get Gong Jiu's medicine and be able to cause trouble in the Wang Fu, it couldn't be just an ordinary servant. Even with Qing Yi as an example, this kind of situation was rare. It should be known that even in the Wang Fu, there were only a few people who knew about the guard rotation. Therefore, this person must not be so transparent. Therefore, Li Hongyuan was 100% sure that this person must be among the people he took away.
At this time, if he left him in the Wang Fu together, who knew what other things would happen? It was better to keep him under his nose. He wouldn't leave Jingwan's side at all times. What else could happen? He didn't need to think about anything else and could just directly commit suicide. However, in this world, was there really someone who could do this?
Li Hongyuan didn't need to send people to Bai Long Temple to inquire about Master Liao Chen's whereabouts. The last time Master Liao Chen came to the capital, after the Imperial Gui Fei appeared, the King of Hell clearly told him that he hoped that Master Liao Chen wouldn't be wandering in the short term.
Master Liao Chen was a supreme expert, but because of pity for the common people, he was suppressed by Li Hongyuan. He was helpless enough.
