Chapter 431 If you don’t want it, just give it back to me
When Ye Xiumin knew that Zhuo Chengyi was not at home, she immediately understood why Xiangxiang committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake.She stabilized her mind, thinking that this matter must not be known to outsiders, but she was a little girl and had no clue how to handle this kind of thing. She had no other choice but to send someone to Ye Mansion to ask her second son for help. Brother, Ye Xiuren.
The disappearance of the prince was a major event in the capital, not to mention that the missing one was the imprisoned fifth prince.
Zhuo Chengyi had always wanted to compete with Zhuo Lingchu for the position of crown prince. When Ye Xiuren learned about this, he made a prompt decision and informed Zhuo Lingchu about it.
In less than an hour, the fifth prince's mansion was sealed, and everyone in the mansion was taken away for investigation, including Ye Xiumin.
At that time, she felt extremely regretful. It would be better for her to find Concubine Hui than to find her second brother. The second brother, that idiot, would only report the matter impartially and would not be flexible at all. What if her husband came back and found out about the Fifth Prince's Mansion? I was so disturbed by her that I didn't know how to blame her.
Zhuo Lingchu vaguely felt that Zhuo Chengyi's disappearance might be related to Mu Yun, because Ye Xiuren once mentioned to him that Zhuo Chengyi coveted Mu Yun's beauty.
Later, Ye Xiuren saw the excellent horse that Gao Ningxin rode back at the villa. He confidently told Zhuo Lingchu that he had seen a similar horse in the fifth prince's stable.Because that horse has a very unique birthmark. It has maroon hair all over its body, but there is a patch of white mane on its right hip, which is impressive.
Zhuo Lingchu made a decisive decision. While ordering people to investigate Zhuo Chengyi's activities in the past half month, he returned to the place where Gao Ningxin was abandoned.
Because it had rained, no deliberate traces could be found at the scene. However, when Zhuo Ling initially ordered people to conduct a comprehensive search of nearby farmland, someone actually found several corpses in a tunnel used to divert water to irrigate farmland. , including the missing fifth prince, Zhuo Chengyi.
This incident shocked the entire court.
Things are getting weirder and weirder. Zhuo Ling initially thought that Mu Yun's disappearance was the fault of Zhuo Taining. Now it seems that everything that happened in the Villa on New Year's Eve was planned by Zhuo Chengyi.So, who temporarily betrayed the enemy, killed Zhuo Chengyi, who had already succeeded, and kidnapped Mu Yun?
"Check, find out who Zhuo Chengyi has contacted, what he said, and what he did since he was imprisoned!"
It was the first time in his life that Zhuo Lingchu, who had always been cool and reserved, got so angry. He was really careless. He thought that by confining Zhuo Chengyi in the house, he would not dare to act under his nose. Unexpectedly, he was He was so bold and dared to touch his Zhuo Lingchu woman.
Zhuo Chengyi, death is not a pity!
It was already the second day that Zhuo Lingchu's people investigated Xunyun.
Before that, Zhuo Lingchu had almost forgotten the existence of this mysterious person.
Hahaha, I never expected that this insignificant vendor would actually make such a big fuss. It was really a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
A subordinate came to report: "The group of dead soldiers who attacked the other village on New Year's Eve have been determined to be secret guards raised by the fifth prince in private. The fifth prince's servant has already confessed after seeing the fifth prince's body."
"The servant said that Xunyun rarely interacts with outsiders. He only communicates with Zhuo Chengyi one-sidedly. Everyone in the house thinks that he is the turtle king who gives Zhuo Chengyi women."
Zhuo Lingchu's face was as dark as water, "He is outside, what has he done? We must investigate it thoroughly!"
The subordinate immediately responded, but stopped talking before leaving.
"Say!"
"Your Highness, you haven't closed your eyes for two days. You can rest for a while while my subordinates are investigating Xunyun," the subordinate advised.
Zhuo Lingchu waved his hand, "Go and do your business."
He can't rest, he is stable, what about Jun'er?Jun'er is still suffering, waiting for his rescue.
Zhuo Lingchu was right. At this moment, Mu Yun was not only waiting for Zhuo Lingchu to come to the rescue, but she was also preparing her own rescue tool - datura flower juice.
She put all the datura flowers she had collected into the soup cup that contained soy milk yesterday, then found a wooden stick and punched it vigorously. In order to prevent the flower juice from getting on her hands, she also used clothing to seal them tightly. Wrapping her tightly, even though there was the sound of wheels as the carriage moved forward, she still moved carefully and carefully, for fear that Xun Yun outside the curtain would hear her movements.
The carriage suddenly stopped. Mu Yun quickly put away the soup cup and leaned her upper body against the wall of the carriage, pretending to be calm.
For a long time, there was no movement outside the car curtain. Just when Mu Yun wanted to open the car curtain to find out what was going on, Xunyun opened the car curtain a crack and threw a big paper bag inside. The whole car smelled like meat. Overflowing.
Mu Yun hesitated and did not dare to move.
The carriage quickly started moving again, and a man's deep voice came from outside.
"The beggar's chicken is hot, eat it quickly!"
Mu Yun sighed in her heart, ah, he knew that there was meat in people's food. She was tired of eating either fried cakes or pancakes in the past two days.
But as a hostage, how could she dare to make excessive demands?Some are good to eat.
Lifting the car curtains, there was a row of simple shops outside. They seemed to be passing through a town at the moment. People were coming and going outside, and it was very lively. Just looking at the clothes, the people here were wearing thinner clothes than the people in Xijing.
Mu Yun later remembered that the temperature here seemed to be higher than that in Xijing.
Qingyang City is to the west of Xijing City. If you drive all the way to Qingyang City, the temperature will not rise so fast. Could it be that Xunyun changed his route again?
The more Mu Yun thought about it, the more something was wrong.
The smell of chicken filled her nose. Mu Yun put aside all her worries for the time being and had a delicious meal. However, when there was still one big chicken leg left, she had a plan in mind.
The spices used to pickle this beggar's chicken are extremely rich, and the Datura flowers have a light smell. Even if it is dipped in rich flower juice, Xun Yun will not notice it.
Just like that, all the mandala flower juice that had been pounded hard all day was poured on the beggar's chicken legs wrapped in lotus leaves.
"Hello!"
A small, glistening white hand poked out from the thick cotton curtain behind Xunyun. When Xunyun turned around, a big chicken leg almost hit him in the face.
"I can't eat anymore, here you go." The chicken legs swayed, exuding an alluring aroma.
Mu Yun was tired, "If you don't want it, just give it back to me." After saying that, she made a gesture to pull the drumstick back.
Xun Yun snatched it away, and his rough fingertips ran across the back of Mu Yun's delicate hand seemingly unintentionally. She was so shocked that she quickly retracted her hand into the car.
Mu Yun cursed Meng Lang in her heart, but she urged him to eat quickly. She imitated his tone just now and said harshly: "It's hot, eat it quickly!"
