Chapter 335: A plan within a plan, and clues to the murderer were found
Emperor Xuande raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Yan, who was sitting opposite him and playing chess with him.
"You Ning, you win this round."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the concession." Shen Yan settled down, the outcome was decided.
"One more game." Emperor Xuande looked indifferent.
"Yes." Shen Yan said respectfully.
Emperor Xuande asked, "What do You Ning think of this game?"
"The plan is ready, please put it in the urn." Shen Yan put away the chessboard, "Your Majesty, please go first."
Emperor Xuande then looked at Eunuch Chen, "Has the person who set the fire been caught?"
"Back to your Majesty, the two people who set the fire were caught. They are outside now." Eunuch Chen replied.
"Lock him up!" Emperor Xuande ordered, "After this round, You Ning, go and interrogate him."
"I obey the order." Shen Yan replied.
Eunuch Chen bowed out and locked up the two arsonists.
Emperor Xuande's trust in Shen Yan has never wavered. He didn't believe it from the beginning when someone said he saw Shen Yan kill Xie Chenglin with his own eyes.
He was waiting for Shen Yan to appear.
After Shen Yan appeared, he had to imprison Shen Yan in the Heavenly Prison as a matter of course, but Shen Yan just walked around the Heavenly Prison and then came to the Hall of Cultivation of Heart.
The most important thing is that Emperor Xuande knew that there was a person who looked exactly like Shen Yan in this world.
This person had appeared in the paddock before, pretending to be Shen Yan and causing Shen Qingqing to have a miscarriage.
He knew that this time, it must be this person who was causing trouble again.
Soon, this game of chess was over, and Emperor Xuande was still the loser.
Shen Yan can't deliberately let things slip. She is now a well-known chess god in the world. It would be too fake if she loses to Emperor Xuande, and Emperor Xuande won't believe it.
"You Ning, it's been a day." Emperor Xuande reminded Shen Yan.
In two days, if Xie Huaijing and the others cannot find out the truth, Shen Yan's life will be in danger.
"Your Majesty, there are two days left, there is enough time." Shen Yan believed Xie Huaijing.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Emperor Xuande put down the chess piece, "You Ning, go ahead and catch all the monsters hiding in the dark!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Yan stood up and left, and she went to interrogate the person who set the fire.
After she left, Emperor Xuande leaned on the dragon chair, closing his eyes slightly, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes.
Just as Concubine Wan said, Xie Chenglin is his eldest son. To this day, although he can no longer remember the joy of becoming a father for the first time, he truly loves his children.
After losing several sons one after another, Emperor Xuande felt very sad.
At this moment, he suddenly understood Meng Muyuan's decision and felt that he was really far-sighted.
At this time, the door of Tianlao was full of people. They came to put out the fire.
The fire was so strong that by the time the fire was extinguished, the Tianlao had been burned beyond recognition.
Xie Huaijing, Yan Qing, and Meng Beichen led people into the prison, but did not find Shen Yan.
"Your Majesty, sir, you are injured, I will bandage your wounds." Sun Huanxin said.
Xie Huaijing's hands were covered in blood and he held a hairpin tightly in his hand. He recognized it as Shen Yan's hairpin.
Why is the hairpin there but not the person?
Yan Qing did not bother to bandage the wound. He wanted to find out the cause of the fire in Tianlao, hoping to find clues to the murderer from here.
Meng Beichen came to Meng Muyuan and said, "Father, don't worry. My sister, Jiren Tianxiang, will be fine. I heard that this happened before, and my sister came back safely in the end."
Meng Muyuan stared at Tianlao, his eyes seemed frozen, and he did not answer Meng Beichen's words.
After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Are there any of the deceased in the fire similar to your sister?"
"No." Meng Beichen replied.
"Then continue investigating!" Meng Muyuan seemed to have guessed something, but he did not reveal it.
"Father, please go back and rest first. There is a son here, and he will guard here. As soon as there is news, he will report to you immediately." Meng Beichen said.
"No, you go and do your work. You must find your sister." Meng Muyuan warned.
At this moment, Meng Muyuan seemed to have aged ten years, and the hair on his ears and temples had turned white.
At this time, someone from the royal palace came and said, "Your Majesty, there is news. The person in the portrait has been found!"
Xie Huaijing asked, "Where did you find it?"
"The gate of the city." The servant explained, "The man had been hiding in the city before, hoping to wait for the news to pass before coming out. Later, we searched the whole city. He was afraid and wanted to take a gamble and take the risk to leave the city. As a result, he was arrested. We caught him red-handed.”
"Where is he now?" Xie Huaijing asked.
"Prince's Darkroom."
Xie Huaijing returned home immediately.
The next day, early in the morning.
Emperor Xuande did not go to court. He rested in Yangxin Hall last night, with Shen Yan by his side.
Except for Eunuch Chen, he didn't see anyone else.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" Emperor Xuande had a headache, so Shen Yan finished the acupuncture treatment on him.
He felt a lot more relaxed, "Much better, what's going on with my headache?"
"Your Majesty, this is a heart problem. Once the heart problem is solved, the headache will naturally stop hurting." Shen Yan comforted.
"What did you find out about the two people who set the fire last night?" Emperor Xuande asked.
"They all confessed, but they have nothing to do with the murderer behind the scenes." Shen Yan told Emperor Xuande the results of the interrogation.
"Absurd! Confusing!" Emperor Xuande turned cold and asked Shen Yan, "I heard that people in the court are in panic now. Are you still not going to show up?"
"I can't show up, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted." Shen Yan said.
"I also heard that King Ling captured someone and made it known throughout the city." Emperor Xuande said.
"The whole city will know that the other party will be restless. Only in this way will they jump out on their own." Shen Yan explained.
Emperor Xuande thought for a while, "Tomorrow, I will go to court as usual." His avoidance made the other party afraid to take action.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A deep house in the city.
"Master, the emperor has not gone to court today. Is Shen Yan really dead?" Ruofeng asked the mysterious man.
"I can't sense any breath of life from her. This time, she will definitely die!" The mysterious man said this, but there was always a bad feeling in his heart.
"Then Master, can we implement the next plan?" Ruofeng looked delighted.
"Wait a moment." The mysterious man acted cautiously, "When Xie Chengxuan is finished, it won't be too late for us to take action."
She had been planning for tens of thousands of years, but Shen Yan really died so easily in the end. She couldn't believe it and was unwilling to do so.
"Go and see Xie Chengxuan, see what's going on over there, and tell him that if you don't stop, you will be messed up. If your methods are not ruthless, your status will be unstable!"
"Yes, master."
On the way Ruofeng came to see Xie Chengxuan, Xie Chengxuan was angry.
"Idiot! ruined my plan!" Xie Chengxuan was so angry that he pushed forward and knocked everything on the table to the ground.
"Your Highness, please think of a solution quickly. That Wang Ergui was captured by King Ling. Although he is not one of ours, King Ling will find out about us sooner or later." The subordinate looked worried.
"Xie Huaijing! This prince underestimated you!" Xie Chengxuan gritted his teeth.
A moment later, Ruofeng arrived and he truthfully conveyed the mysterious man's words to Xie Chengxuan.
After Xie Chengxuan heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, "Here comes Miss Yan!"
On the second day, Emperor Xuande went to court as normal.
After the morning court, he returned to the imperial study room to review the papers. The little chamberlain who usually served him served him a piece of clear porridge as usual.
Emperor Xuande was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so he didn't eat.
However, the little chamberlain did not leave, still standing there.
"What are you doing standing there?" Emperor Xuande looked displeased.
"Your Majesty, this is the porridge specially made for you by the imperial kitchen. Please try it." The waiter reminded.
"I didn't know that this was made in the imperial kitchen?" Emperor Xuande looked at the young eunuch, full of doubts.
"You deserve to die, my servant. Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for several days. If you continue like this, it will damage your dragon's body. Please take care of your dragon's body." The young chamberlain knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Emperor Xuande looked at the young chamberlain and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you want me to drink this porridge?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant is also worried about Your Majesty." The young chamberlain looked respectful.
Emperor Xuande picked up the bowl and slowly brought it to his mouth. He stared at the young waiter's face.
The little chamberlain felt panicked and quickly lowered his head. However, he couldn't help but raise his head. He wanted to see Emperor Xuande drink the porridge with his own eyes.
The moment he caught sight of Emperor Xuande from the corner of his eye, he saw that Emperor Xuande actually put down the bowl.
His hands clenched involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred.
At this time, Emperor Xuande spoke, "I have no appetite, so I'll give you this bowl of porridge!"
