Chapter 27 - Eating

A lunch is nothing. Xie Qingrong nodded her head helplessly, then retrieved a piece of paper from her chest pocket and handed it over to Xuanyuan Chen: "This is the picture on the dagger, I felt that there was something fishy about this, so I drew it out. I don't know if you have seen this picture before."

Xuanyuan Chen observed the pattern carefully, feeling that it looked extremely familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen it before.

"Azure Dragon."

"This subordinate is here. Please give your instructions, master." A black figure knelt down behind Xuanyuan Chen, and Xuanyuan Chen threw the drawing paper behind him. The green dragon quickly took the drawing paper, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from his sight.

Xuanyuan Chen pulled Xie Qingrong's wrist, and said to her: "This king will take you on a tour around the Duke Palaces, so that you won't get lost after getting married."

Xie Qingrong coldly glanced at him, but did not resist, allowing him to drag her along as she walked around the Prince Chen's Mansion.

Prince Chen's Mansion was constructed with a very light atmosphere. As far as the eye could see, it was all green, and the winding paths were filled with elegant orchids. A faint and serene orchid fragrance filled the air, causing people to feel relaxed and happy.

Xie Qingrong took a deep breath and the faint fragrance of orchids wafted into her nose. Taking another step forward, she saw a four-cornered pavilion.

In the center of the pavilion, there was a stone table, and beside the stone table, there were four stone stools. Xuanyuan Chen pulled Xie Qingrong and sat on the stone chair, and ordered someone to serve them tea.

Not long after, Butler Meng and a few servants came over with a plate of tea. On the plate of Ruyi Cake, there was a plate of Snowflake Soup, and a pot of good Longjing Tea.

Xuanyuan Chen moved the dessert to Xie Qingrong, and poured himself a cup of tea to take a sip.

At this time, the green dragon returned with news. He knelt on one knee on the ground and reported, "My prince, this is the special symbol for the King Jing Palace."

"Alright, This King knows." Xuanyuan Chen waved his hand to allow the green dragon to withdraw, then asked Xie Qingrong: "What do you think about the wangfei right now?"

Xie Qingrong took a bite of Ruyi Cake, and after sshe slowly chewed on it, he revealed a cold smile: According to the coroner, the victim's life was at stake and with a single strike, she was killed.

After that, he paused for a moment and continued: "I am a bit curious about the identity of the dead person, to actually be able to use Xuanyuan Jing to kill."

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes flashed, and said: "This matter has already been referred to Beijing Zhaoyin, Master Yin Zheng. There is no need to ask any further, Princess."

Xie Qingrong frowned, as it concerned Xuanyuan Jing, even if it was handed over to the Beijing Zhaoyin, it would merely be a punishment for killing someone. Xuanyuan Jing would definitely be taken out, but even if there was evidence, the King Jing would eventually push it onto the dark guards.

And today, Xuanyuan Chen was acting a little strange, as though something was amiss from the very beginning.

She looked at Xuanyuan Chen with some suspicion, and probed: "Since Your Highness has already treated me as a wangfei, why should I be excluded? I was also present at the murder case and had reason to know about it. "

Xuanyuan Chen touched his forehead and sighed, he really couldn't hide it from her. Well, tell her.

"The identity of the deceased was that of a midwife. She served this king's matriarch when he was giving birth." Although Xuanyuan Chen's tone was very calm, Xie Qingrong could still hear the mixed emotions of hatred and fury within.

"And then?"

Xuanyuan Chen didn't answer and only smiled slightly. That smile was a little cold as he said: "Then, that midwife disappeared. I never thought she would appear in such a manner."

Xie Qingrong did not expect this person to be the midwife of the Empress when she was giving birth, but why did Xuanyuan Chen have such hatred? Could it be that there was some secret behind this?

Furthermore, Xuanyuan Jing had killed her first to silence her, so what kind of secret was that to make Xuanyuan Jing make a move?

Xie Qingrong frowned and asked: "Why do you think Xuanyuan Jing killed his midwife?"

Xuanyuan Chen took a sip of tea and said coldly, "Of course it's to exterminate the corpses and conceal the truth. They know very well what they have done. One day, this king will find out who they are. "

The atmosphere had become a little stiff. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Did you already guess that it was Xuanyuan Jing who made it?"

Xuanyuan Chen confirmed, "Yes. This King guessed it right after knowing the identity of the deceased person. It's just that there is no conclusive evidence. "

Xie Qingrong asked: "Don't you think that's strange? Would Xuanyuan Jing be so stupid as to leave the evidence behind? "

Xuanyuan Chen answered her question. "Seeing the dagger, your first reaction is to find the owner of the dagger. Then you would think it was a frame-up, a murder by the murderer. But this is precisely what the murderer is good at. "

After explained it to her, Xie Qingrong finally understood that it was the Golden Cicada's way of getting out of its shell.

This Xuanyuan Jing was really good at scheming, as expected of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom's Second Prince.

"What does this midwife know that caused her to be silenced?" Xie Qingrong asked again.

"This duke wasn't sure before, but now this duke is certain that Imperial Consort was definitely involved in what happened that year. I never thought that I would be fooled by them. " Xuanyuan Chen said it lightly, but a trace of hatred flashed past his eyes.

But he also understood, even if he knew that the Imperial Consort was involved, so what? The one standing behind the Imperial Consort was the Right Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister's power was intertwined and intertwined, back then he couldn't even shake this big tree.

He could only hide his strength and seek the best time.

Xie Qingrong did not understand why a simple case would involve so many people, but she did not plan to ask, because one day, the truth would come out.

Xie Qingrong looked at the sky outside.

The sun was rising and it was almost noon. More than half of the two plates of snacks on the table were gone.

Xie Qingrong asked: Xuanyuan Chen, do you still want lunch? Xie Qingrong got used to it the first time she shouted Xuanyuan Chen's name.

When Xuanyuan Chen heard Xie Qingrong call out his name, the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised into a happy smile.

The two of them sat in the great hall. Not long later, Butler Meng brought her maidservants in one after another, each of them holding a dish in their hands.

As the lid was lifted, a burst of fragrance assaulted his nostrils.

There are sand boat trek, lute prawn, Longfeng tenderness, fragrant oil cooking paste, osmanthus fish sticks, five fragrant pigeon, sweet and sour lotus root, chicken wire silver ear, Eight Treasures Bunny Ding and so on.

It was Xie Qingrong's first time seeing such a sumptuous lunch, hence the general's mansion only needed to eat a few simple meals.

Tsk, this royal family is truly extravagant.

Eat slowly, eat without saying a word, very good habits.

Xuanyuan Chen wiggled his chopsticks a few times, then put them down, directly throwing out a heavy weight. "General Xie can arrive in the capital by tonight at the latest."

Xie Qingrong answered with a "En" and continued to chew. Her expression did not change at all, as if her father's return was not enough to move her.
