From eunuch to emperor

The old bustard knocked on the door and went in, and saw the Guqin and bamboo flute playing, and the wine and fruit on the table were still there.

"Second prince? Embracing the moon?"

The old bustard stood at the door of the inner room and called softly.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

It stands to reason that Li Jiye might have been tired last night and didn't wake up, so Lanyue should be able to hear it and should reply.

"Catch the moon?"

The old bustard called again, but there was still no response.

The old bustard felt strange and said, "Second prince, I have come in."

The old bustard opened the door carefully, entered the room, and smelled a strange smell.

The smell of incense and blood...

The old bustard's heart trembled, and he walked quickly to the bed, and saw Lanyue's clothes were taken off, lying beside Li Jiye.

But Li Jiye stared wide-eyed, lying on the bed straight, blood soaked the quilt, and died thoroughly.

"what!"

The old bustard screamed and fell to the ground, dumbfounded looking at the corpse on the bed.

Sima Rui heard a scream outside the door, and immediately rushed into the room.

The two guards had long felt itchy, thinking of the spring scenery inside, they also rushed in.

When the three of them got to the inner room, they saw the old bustard sitting on the ground slumped, looking at the bed in horror.

Sima Rui turned his head and saw that Li Jiye was completely dead.

The two guards saw the jade body, but before they got excited, their bodies turned cold.

Li Jiye is dead!

"what happened?"

Sima Rui was stunned.

The old bustard trembled all over, and shook his head in horror: "I...I saw the second prince...dead just as I came in!"

Sima Rui walked to the bed, grabbed Lanyue's hair, and asked, "What's going on! Did you kill it!"

Lanyue's acupuncture points were tapped, she couldn't move, she couldn't speak, she could only stare in horror.

The old procuress said in horror: "Lan Yue is just a weak woman, how could she kill the second prince, she is not capable..."

Sima Rui is not in the mood to appreciate and play with Lanyue at this time, he just wants to find the murderer.

Seeing that Lanyue's body was not moving, Sima Rui remembered that Lanyue had been acupunctured.

Sima Rui tapped Lan Yue's body several times, but Lan Yue's acupuncture points could not be undone.

"Master!"

Sima Rui knew that this was acupuncture by a master, and his skills were not strong enough to unlock the acupuncture points.

Leaving Lanyue behind, Sima Rui was in a state of disarray.

"General, what should I do?"

The two guards were also terrified.

Sima Rui turned around and scolded: "Block the flower boat, the murderer may still be on board, drive the flower boat to the center of the river, and don't allow anyone to leave!"

"Zhao Yi, you...you go back to the palace and report to the Holy Majesty immediately!"

Sima Rui gritted his teeth and said this.

If Li Jiye is dead, he must report to Li Chengdao to know.

But after Li Chengdao found out, the three of them should die.

If he reported his death, but if he didn't report that he ransacked his family and exterminated his family, Sima Rui still chose to report.

The guard Zhao Yi bowed in tears: "Obey!"

Zhao Yi hurried ashore and rode to the palace.

The old bustard got up from the ground, stumbled and rushed to the first floor, and shouted at Liaoshou: "Let's go, let's go, sail to the center of the river, no one is allowed to leave!"

Mr. Gui came over and asked strangely: "It's time, why are you still driving to Jiangxin? The guests are going back!"

The old bustard took out a silk scarf and wiped his face, tears and snot all over his face.

"Don't ask, don't ask!"

The old bustard wanted to cry but had no tears, wishing she could throw herself into the river.

There were still guests on the flower boat who had not disembarked. Seeing that the flower boat was sailing towards the center of the river again, they all came over and asked, "Why didn't you dock? What time is it?"

The old bustard said patiently: "My lords and lords, wait a moment, we will land right away."

A young son came out and said, "We still have business to do. If you don't dock like this, it will delay the business. We will come to you?"

The old bustard recognized this man as the son of the Minister of Rites.

"Young master, you take care of it, there is indeed something, you take care of it."

The young master reprimanded unceremoniously: "Go to the shore immediately!"

Liaoshou looked at the old bustard not knowing what to do.

The old bustard waved his hands again and again: "No, you can't go, no one can go!"

The young master got angry and cursed: "Do you want to kidnap us! Dock immediately!"

When the old bustard begged, Sima Rui came down from the stairs, pressed the knife on his waist and scolded: "I am Sima Rui who is joining the army of the second prince's palace, no one is allowed to leave!"

Seeing that Sima Rui was here, everyone immediately guessed that the second prince Li Jiye must be there too.

Sima Rui is just a small prince joining the army, he must have been ordered by Li Jiye if he dared to speak like this.

Everyone quiet down, go back to the room obediently, or just sit down in the living room.

ashore.

Dressed up as a middle-aged wealthy businessman, Long Chen stood on the bank with Ya'er, looking at the flower boat that was slowly sailing towards the center of the river.

"I just found out now."

Long Chen smiled coldly.

Ya'er looked back at Zhao Yi galloping into the city with a candy figurine in his hand.

The sugar man made a little rabbit, and Ya'er stretched out his little tongue to lick it slowly.

"Your trick has succeeded."

Ya'er ate very happily.

Long Chen touched Ya'er's little head, and said, "Is my strategy very subtle?"

Ya'er complained: "It's subtle, but also vicious! Fortunately, you and my wife are allies. If you deal with us like this, it will be really troublesome."

Long Chen smiled and said: "So, you have to serve me well, if I am happy, you will be safe."

Ya'er licked the sugar man, and said contemptuously, "Big pervert!"

Seeing that Ya'er was eating happily, Long Chen asked, "Does it feel like your tongue has become a lot more flexible? For things like ventriloquist, practice makes perfect."

Ya'er stopped the sugar figurine in her hand and whispered, "Pervert!"

Long Chen glanced at the restaurant not far away, and said: "Let's go there, and watch the excitement while eating."

Ya'er immediately said: "I want to order a bunch of delicious food, you owe me."

Long Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I will compensate you as much as you ate last night."

Ya'er snorted: "That's about the same."

After entering the restaurant, Long Chen picked a seat by the window and sat down, Ya'er ordered a bunch of delicious food.

The two were in the restaurant looking at the flower boats to watch the fun.

The guard Zhao Yi rode his horse and galloped into Jinling City, all the way to the gate of the imperial palace.

Seeing the guards rushing over, the forbidden army immediately stopped and reprimanded them.

Zhao Yi got off his horse, grabbed the guards and said, "Brother, I am Zhao Yi, the guard of the second prince's residence. I have something urgent to see Commander Jiang!"

When the Imperial Guard heard about the guards in Li Jiye's mansion, they were a little more polite and asked, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, please!"

Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't look like a fake, the imperial army said, "Brother, wait!"

The imperial army hurried into the palace and found Jiang Hui in the room at the gate of the city.

"Commander, Zhao Yi, the guard at the second prince's mansion, said that he has something urgent to see, and he seems to be in a hurry!"

After hearing the report from the Imperial Army, Jiang Hui felt strange, why did the guards of the Palace seek him?

Jiang Hui is the commander of the forbidden army, responsible for the security of the palace, and is Li Chengdao's confidant.

In his position, he is most taboo to have contact with the prince.

"Why are the guards of the palace looking for me? No see!"

Jiang Hui flatly refused.
