"Jie Ye!" Yuan Zinuo smiled brightly. However, her movements were restricted, so she could only give her most beautiful smile to welcome her old friend.
Lin Jieye gave Yuan Zinuo a big smile. When he saw Ouyang Xu, he didn't pay his respects and only nodded slightly." Dongfang Yan greets Sage Emperor!”
Ouyang Xu was not annoyed. He narrowed his eyes." Are you representing yourself or Dongyue?”
"On behalf of the East Yue!" Lin Jieye stood with his hands behind his back. Qi Yunru also praised him for his outstanding temperament. It was rare to see such a young man who was neither ostentatious nor presumptuous.
"You Dongyue people are really well-informed. Last night Consort De died and you came today!”Ouyang Xu stared at Lin Jieye meaningfully.
"We have our own way of contacting each other," Lin Jieye said calmly."Sage Emperor, you don't have to worry about it."”Lin Jieye looked at Qi Yunru beside him. After a moment of surprise, he regained his composure." Caiwei represented Dongyue to marry into the Holy Capital. Now that she has died for no reason, it's not too much for us Dongyue to demand an explanation!”
"An explanation?" Ouyang Xu stared coldly at Lin Jieye," Dongfang Caiwei had an affair with someone and was pregnant with a bastard child. She hanged herself. This is the explanation I'm giving you!”
The smile on Lin Jieye's lips did not change. He looked directly into Ouyang Xu's eyes." However, according to Cai Wei's personal palace maid, Yan 'er, she was framed by someone, which was why she had an affair. If the Sage Emperor did not find out the truth and give her poisoned wine, she knew that she would not be able to survive and committed suicide. I came here to find the person who framed her and give my sister justice.”
Although Lin Jieye didn't directly blame Ouyang Xu, he made it clear that Dongyue didn't trust the officials of the Holy Capital, which was why they sent the Second Young Master to investigate this matter. This was undoubtedly a slap to Ouyang Xu's face. Ouyang Xu's face was dark as he stared coldly at Lin Jieye. Lin Jieye did not show any weakness and returned a provocative gaze. The two of them looked at each other, and a dark tide surged.
Yuan Zinuo saw that the two of them were at daggers drawn and coughed lightly." En! Jie Ye, I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple!”
Lin Jieye turned to look at Yuan Zinuo. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile again." You discovered something?”
"Are you sure Yan 'er is from your Dongyue?”They had always felt that Yan 'er was the most likely candidate to be used to frame Dongfang Caiwei. Now that Lin Jieye said that Yan' er was Dongfang Caiwei's personal servant, it meant that she was from Dongyue. This matter was getting more and more complicated.
"What do you mean?" Lin Jieye wouldn't have believed it if someone else had said so, but since Yuan Zinuo had said so, then there was really something wrong with this Yan 'er.
After that, Yuan Zinuo briefly explained the basic situation and the autopsy results to Lin Jieye. Now, it seemed that Yan 'er was the biggest suspect, so Ouyang Xu ordered people to bring Yan' er over.
"Yan 'er, if you don't want to suffer, tell the truth!”With a faint smile, Dongfang Yan stared coldly at Yan 'er, who was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered. His tone was calm, but it was unusually intimidating, causing Yan' er, who had been calm all this while, to be stunned for a moment.
"This servant is telling the truth. Second Young Master, this servant is not lying!”Yan 'er raised her head, her big eyes clear. This was not the first time she had met Dongfang Yan. The Second Young Master looked gentle, but his methods were very vicious. If he saw any flaws, what awaited her was something more terrible than death.
"Is that so? Then why are you staring at my eyes? Yan 'er, this is a sign of guilt. You're not telling the truth!”Lin Jieye bent down. It was obviously an interrogation, but his gentle voice sounded like he was talking about love.
Yan 'er immediately lowered her head, not daring to look straight into Lin Jieye's eyes." I'm not lying!”
"What did you say about the jade pendant?" Lin Jieye already knew that there was something wrong with this Yan 'er, so he didn't probe further. He stood up, walked to the chair beside him, and sat down, leaning back in a relaxed manner.
"That jade pendant was indeed taken from the man in black by this servant! This servant did not dare to take out the jade pendant too early because she was afraid that those people would kill this servant to silence her!”Yan 'er tried her best to appear calm, but three pairs of piercing eyes stared at her, making her feel that all her pretense was futile. She became less and less confident, and more and more nervous. In order to hide her nervousness, Yan 'er could only keep her head down.
"Ming De Palace is guarded by guards both inside and outside. That black-clothed man can enter and exit freely, so his martial arts are definitely not weak. You fell into his hands, but you were still able to remove the jade pendant from him without anyone noticing. Yan 'er, your martial arts are very high!”Lin Jieye's analysis was so clear that Ouyang Xu could not help but sigh. It was difficult for anyone to hide their emotions and secrets in front of him.
"Me? The man in black thought that I was dead, so he let his guard down!”Yan 'er could no longer remain calm. Facing Lin Jieye, she felt that all her pretense was in vain.
"How did the man in black kill you?”The smile on Lin Jieye's lips deepened, and his eyes turned colder.
"He hit this servant's heart!”Yan 'er took a deep breath and tried her best to look calm. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. Yan 'er felt her heart tighten, and the blood in her stomach surged. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground weakly.
"I only used 10% of my power, and I was still ten meters away. Yan 'er, do you think that the man in black only used 10% of his power to kill you?”Lin Jieye teleported to Yan 'er's side and grabbed her wrist. He glared at her coldly." You don't know martial arts at all, but you're still alive. You can't cover up this lie!"”
Yan 'er felt as if her body had been sucked dry in an instant. She stared at Lin Jieye in horror and was about to bite her tongue to commit suicide. At this point, Yan' er knew that she could no longer hide it. She only hoped that she could die a quick death.
Lin Jieye's smile instantly disappeared, and he tightened his grip on Yan 'er's hand. With a crack, the sound of bones breaking was particularly clear in the royal study. Yan 'er had not had the time to bite her tongue before she fainted. Lin Jieye tapped her twice on her body, and she slowly woke up.
"Second Young Master, this servant, this servant was forced. I beg you, please spare this servant!”Yan 'er was already on her last breath. The pain of her broken bones was still tormenting her consciousness, making her not even have the strength to commit suicide.
"Spare you? That depends on your performance!" Lin Jieye let go of Yan 'er's hand. He narrowed his eyes like a cheetah staring at its prey, which made Yan' er even more frightened.
"This servant was the one who drugged the niangniang and strangled the niangniang to death!”Yan 'er fell to the ground dejectedly. She stared at Lin Jieye blankly with her ashen eyes.
"Who instructed you?" Yuan Zinuo and Ouyang Xu had been watching all of this from the side. She had witnessed Lin Jieye's interrogation methods. When dealing with a stupid and hopeless little girl like Yan 'er, only by destroying her will would she be able to get something out of her.
"It's Young Master. I only know that everyone calls him Young Master, but I don't know who he is. I've never seen him before!”Yan 'er was already in despair. She only hoped that Lin Jieye would let her die quickly." Consort De has never been favored. Even if I wait here, I will not be welcomed, let alone talk about my future." Later on, I met Cui 'er. She was in Consort Hui's palace. She asked me to help Young Master. As long as I get Young Master's recognition, I can leave the palace. In the future, I will enjoy endless glory and wealth!”
The three of them were all abnormally surprised. This young master's influence was so great that it actually extended into the palace and could decide the life and death of a concubine. Such a person was a dangerous figure to both Ouyang Xu and the four kingdoms.
"So you killed Cai Wei?" Lin Jieye was used to seeing betrayal and the viciousness of people's hearts, so he wasn't too surprised to know the truth." You planned all these things?”
"No, I'm just following instructions. Someone will help me in secret!”Yan 'er lay on the ground motionlessly. If not for the fact that her mouth was still talking, she would be no different from a dead person." That jade pendant was given to me by a man in black the night before yesterday. He also gave me a note to take it out when the Emperor interrogated the Empress.”
Ouyang Xu's expression was already extremely cold. Two nights ago, Yan 'er was still under his control. That young master was actually able to escape the shadow's surveillance and pass the note to Yan' er. He even predicted that he would interrogate Consort De yesterday. All of this seemed to have been a play that that person had long planned. They were just that person's actors, acting according to his script. Such a person was too terrifying. With his ability, killing him would be as easy as flipping his palm.
"Gui Ying, bring Consort Hui's palace maid Cui Er over!”After a year of reorganization, Ouyang Xu thought that the palace was very clean, but he didn't expect that this young master's people were hidden so deeply. He still had a lot to do next. This matter involved Gongsun Ying and Ximen Qingcheng. He had to find out whether they were actors or schemers, and whether they knew that young master.
"Ouyang Xu! Yuan Zinuo could feel Ouyang Xu's anger, and her small hand gripped his big hand tightly." Everything needs to be done slowly. Those various forces hidden in the dark are deeply rooted. It's not something that can be done overnight to uproot them. Don't worry, I'll be by your side!”
Ouyang Xu received Yuan Zinuo's encouragement, and the loneliness and anger in his heart lessened by a lot. He held that small hand with his back." I'm very satisfied with you accompanying me!”
"Xiao Nuo, you've changed!" Lin Jieye looked at the gentle and understanding Yuan Zinuo in front of him. He suddenly felt that he had never entered her heart before, even though they had been so close. Now that he thought about it, the two of them were in that kind of environment at that time. They only saw each other as the only one in order to find comfort for each other. However, because of their careers, they were unwilling to give themselves completely to each other, so they never let each other enter their hearts.
Yuan Zinuo knew what Lin Jieye meant and smiled gently." I like this kind of change!”She didn't like the Yuan Zinuo who didn't trust anyone in the past, even when she was wary of Lin Jieye. She liked the person who was now willing to give herself to someone wholeheartedly and trust someone. This was a living person.
"I like your change too!" In their previous lives, they had carried too much and lived too tiredly. Now that Yuan Zinuo could obtain a true love that was worth giving her heart and soul, he was willing to fulfill her wish and give her his blessings.
Ouyang Xu didn't know what kind of riddles the two of them were talking about, but this Lin Jieye gave him an inexplicable sense of threat. It wasn't that he was too outstanding, but that there seemed to be a connection between him and Yuan Zinuo, a tacit understanding. It was a small world that no one could destroy or enter. He hated this feeling, so he looked at Yuan Zinuo and hugged her tightly." I don't care if you're Lin Jieye or Dongfang Yan. This woman is mine. No one can covet her!"”
