ma'am, calm down

With a lingering weird feeling in his heart, Thirteen decided to clarify the matter.Yang Yun is the emperor's man. Although he supports the crown prince's succession, he never dares to contact the prince in private to avoid suspicion. Why did he suddenly go to the prince's east palace for dinner tonight?

But Mei Yu's identity is inconvenient, and there is no reason to ask Yang Yun about the past, so it's better to take him away halfway, and let him go back to the house after asking.

So Shisan went home and changed into a set of night clothes, put on a mask, and took advantage of the night to hide in Yang Yun's way back to the house.

In the evening, there was a burst of autumn sand rain, which stopped at night, and when the autumn wind blew, the cold air hit people.Pedestrians were driven back home by the rain, the quiet stone road was a bit bleak, and the crescent moon in the sky was hazy, broken on the bright stone slabs.

After waiting for a short time, a small private sedan appeared at the end, and two lanterns were carried in front of the sedan, with the word "Yang's Mansion" clearly written on it.

The sedan chair moved quickly and hurriedly, and the servant's anxious voice could be vaguely heard: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Thirteen lay on the roof by the side of the road and looked down.What happened?

The sedan chair entered Yang's mansion through the side door, Shisan performed lightness kung fu, jumped on the roof and followed, watching Yang Yun being helped off the sedan chair.

Yang Yun's face was pale, blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he stumbled unsteadily.The maids and servants were all panicked when they saw it, and stood there at a loss.A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper shouted angrily: "Come to the doctor quickly! What are you still doing!"

The lights in Yang's mansion were brightly lit, all the servants were in a mess, the doctors came in and out, decocting medicines and giving orders, the commotion lasted until midnight before the courtyard became quiet.

Two little maids came out of Yang Yun's bedroom with washbasins in their hands, and one of them whispered, "I've lost so much blood, I'm afraid it's..."

The other said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, go get water."

Thirteen waited for them to go far away, quietly jumped down from the roof, stood outside Yang Yun's window and listened carefully.

Yang Yun moaned slightly in the room.

Thirteen gently opened and closed the door, the room was dimly lit, and the panting and moaning were particularly obvious.He hurried to Yang Yun's side, looked at his face by the candlelight, and gently opened his mouth.

It is white with black inside, and the tongue coating is different. It should be poisoned, which has penetrated into the bone marrow.

Thirteen quickly helped him up, and injected a burst of true energy into his body.

Both of them were sweating finely. Suddenly, Yang Yun groaned and spat out a mouthful of dark blood.He half opened his eyes: "...who is it?"

Thirteen said softly, "Uncle Yang."

Yang Yun's skinny hand grabbed Shisan's wrist: "Who are you? Why does your voice sound like..."

Thirteen lowered his voice: "Uncle Yang, do you still remember me?"

Yang Yun looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him in confusion, and carefully identified it for a long time: "I really don't recognize..." Before he finished speaking, a sweet smell overflowed from the depth of his throat, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Yang Yun's face was as pale as a corpse, and his body was trembling and panting.

Thirteen hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.Although he helped Yang Yun protect his heart veins, it was a pity that he was too deeply poisoned and it was already too late.

Thirteen whispered, "Uncle Yang, do you still remember Master Songhuai Lingsong? You used to go to his house to drink."

Yang Yun half sat up in shock, and looked at Shisan carefully: "You are..."

"I'm Xiao An. Back then, Uncle Yang used to pinch my face, and he liked to call me 'Xiao Anzi'." He said and took out a jade pendant.He borrowed the jade pendant from the Ji family, with pine and cypress carved on it, exactly the same as the one he owned back then.

Yang Yun looked at Yu Pei in surprise, unable to respond for a long time.Finally, he calmed down and smiled softly: "It turned out to be Xiao An. I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"

There was a sound of footsteps outside, from far to near, Yang Yun hurriedly shouted: "Go down, you don't need to wait."

The maids outside responded and left immediately.

Yang Yun smiled and said softly: "When you disappeared, your father spent so much time looking for you. It seems that you not only had a good life, but also learned martial arts. Today you come to me, but you want to ask me about the time when your father was killed. one thing?"

Thirteen nodded.

Yang Yun looked out of the window quietly, and it took a while to make a sound, but it was a bit desolate: "I have kept the matter of your father in my heart for ten years, and every time I think about it, I feel guilty. Now that the deadline is approaching, I asked you to come to find me Me, it can be considered that God treats me well."

Thirteen waited calmly.

Yang Yun calmed down for a while before finally speaking: "It's a bit hard to talk about this matter, and it also involves some personal matters of mine, so I have to talk about it now."

After finishing speaking, he said softly: "I think you already know that after I met your father, I have been in close contact with a man. This man is the current Holy One."

Thirteen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.Yang Yun's lover is the emperor, that unprincipled fool?

Yang Yun blushed: "He was very different back then. Although he was romantic, he was also very motivated. Naturally, there were concubines in the harem, but he never attacked his courtiers. Back then he ordered me to punish corrupt officials and arrest some of them as an example to others. I was happy in my heart, thinking that I was serving Mingjun, and I had more and more contacts with him, and a few times I was so tired that I fell asleep in his bedroom."

How dull is Yang Yun to dare to fall asleep in the bedroom of the Merry Emperor?

"After a period of time, his attitude towards me became more and more different. He made trouble for me several times, called me ugly, gave me many problems, and often called me into the palace to lecture, saying:' You are so ugly, how can you get a wife in the future?' I was forced by him to hide, but I couldn’t hide, so I finally gave it up and quarreled with him once with the intention of being beheaded.”

Thirteen: "The result?"

Yang Yun blushed, coughed lightly and changed the subject: "After that time, he began to ask me to enter the palace to serve him. I refused, but he advised me: "Emperor Zhaoyi will appoint a male queen, but in the end he will not be a generation of Mingjun." ? Or are you afraid that you are too ugly? I make up for my good looks.'”

Yang Yun looked out the window obsessively, as if caught in a distant memory. It took a long time to come back to his senses and said: "My ambition is to rectify the bureaucracy, so I have been hesitating not to enter the palace. The emperor is very jealous. I heard that your father and I had a close relationship, and suspected your father was the reason for my refusal. He was furious and summoned him into the palace."

"Is this why father died?"

Yang Yun's eyes dimmed: "I heard that the emperor announced that your father had entered the palace, so I immediately went to see the emperor non-stop, but it was too late. Your father was stabbed to death by his sword, blood spattered three feet, and there was no chance to argue. nothing."

Thirteen remained silent.

Yang Yun half leaned against the head of the bed and lay down: "This is the reason why your father died. Since then, the emperor and I have only been monarchs and ministers, and we have never had any private contacts. For some reason, he gradually became fatuous and lustful. The courtiers will attack. When I really can't see it, I will persuade a few words. Sometimes he listens, sometimes he doesn't."

There was a long silence between the two.

Thirteen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yang."

Yang Yun said weakly: "The emperor is surrounded by strict defenses, you must not act recklessly, otherwise you will just die."

Thirteen remained silent.

Yang Yun gritted his teeth and finally said: "If you really want to assassinate the emperor, I will teach you a word. If you say it in an emergency, if the emperor still misses my old relationship with him, it may be of some use."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yunfu whispered a word in Shisan's ear.

Thirteen said: "The emperor is Uncle Yang's old lover, why did Uncle Yang help me?"

The corners of Yang Yun's eyes were moist: "You should hate me, you should hate the emperor even more. Your father and I met once, but I made your family ruined. We are the ones who should be damned."

Thirteen was silent.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a servant said: "My lord, a member of the staff outside the door asked to see him, but the servant said that the lord was not feeling well, so the member of the staff rushed in regardless."

Yang Yun was taken aback, and quickly said: "Understood! Don't stop him, let him in!"

Thirteen hadn't asked Yang Yun why he was poisoned, but it was already too late.Yang Yun urged: "You go first, Mei Yu."

Thirteen was taken aback for a moment: He knew who he was from the beginning to the end?

Yang Yun said softly: "I don't know the reason why you pretend to be Xiao An, but you know so many things about Xiao An, you should be his friend. Go away, or it will be too late."

The sound of hurried footsteps outside came from far to near, Shisan didn't have time to hesitate, and finally broke through the window and left.

Yang Yun's thin face reflected the faint candlelight, Shisan stood on the tree and took a deep look at him.

This was the last time he saw Yang Yun.

……

The next morning, news came that Yang Yun, the servant of the household department, had died of poisoning.This incident was very strange, but the emperor didn't respond to it, he was still having fun in the palace, and only asked the minister of Dali Temple to investigate the case.

Thirteen thought: The emperor's affection for Yang Yun is probably running out.

He really wanted to assassinate Hunjun with his own hands, but he couldn't make up his own mind.Assassinating the emperor has a lot to do with it, so Shisan must discuss it with Ye Peiqing.

Two days later in the afternoon, Shisan was on duty at Dali Temple to investigate the cause of Yang Yun's death.The scene of investigating the case with Yang Yun a few months ago is vivid in my memory. Shisan has difficulty concentrating. From time to time, a thin face and a pair of big eyes appear in front of him.He was a little distracted, and randomly picked up a blue book among the many books and flipped through it.

There are dozens of blue-covered notebooks, all of which were found from Yang Yun's study room, on which were written Yang Yun's thinking in solving the case in the past ten years.All the doubts and clues are written very clearly, together with the relationship between the characters and the pictures of various evidences are clearly drawn.Thirteen roughly looked through it, and the most recent book was about the murder of the fourth prince's son in a brothel.

Yang Yun seemed to be very interested in this case, and wrote the word "love killing" repeatedly.He also found a ladder a few streets away, chopped up and discarded, with blood on it. The name "Wang Zhi" also appeared repeatedly, and Yang Yun circled it with a red pen: Wang Zhi, killing with love, and committing crimes hastily.

Finally, he wrote: "Since the crime was committed hastily, why didn't there be any evidence left? There are two tentative criminals, Wang Zhi killed someone, and someone else helped him calmly deal with the aftermath. Who is it?"

Writing here stopped abruptly. When Thirteen turned to the other side, it was the case of the emperor's pill poisoning.

Wang Zhi's name appeared again.It is written in the notebook: "It's Wang Zhi again. It's definitely not a coincidence. Who is the person who helped Wang Zhi in the case of the fourth prince's son? Is it really the queen who played tricks in the pill? She will use her usual envelope letter paper." , instructing Yuqing to do tricks?"

Yang Yun clearly became suspicious of the pill case, and he didn't believe that the queen was behind the scenes.

Thirteen was fascinated by the reading, and then turned back, but the next few pages were torn out.

He put down the blue book and was about to look for other evidence, but a small official came to him and said, "Critic Mei, the crown prince is looking for you outside the door. He said it was urgent and told you to come over quickly."

Thirteen hurried to the outside of Dali Temple.

The prince was wearing a moon-white costume and a purple gold crown, and was pacing anxiously.There was a sudden sound of thunder above his head, Shisan looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy as if it was going to rain.

When the prince saw Thirteen came out, he hurriedly wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and greeted him: "Mei Pingshi has come out, my father has an order to declare you to enter the palace as soon as possible."

Thirteen paid his respects to him first, then stood up and frowned and said, "Dare to ask what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The crown prince seemed to be concealing something, and said in a disguised way: "The Holy Majesty summoned you suddenly, so you can't go. Mei Pingshi should leave as soon as possible."

Thirteen was full of doubts.The emperor hadn't thought of himself for several days, why did he summon him suddenly?

However, things have come to this, and Thirteen can't go.He thought for a while and said: "Prince, please wait a moment, first let Mei Yu tell the family that I won't be going home for dinner tonight."

As he spoke, he called Ye Lin to him, and ordered softly, "Send someone to the barracks to inform the general quickly, and then report to the old lady, saying, 'Mei Yu is in danger, the old lady must take care of General Ye's flesh and blood. ah'."

Although Ye Lin didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, he also knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly agreed and left.

Thirteen followed the prince into the chariot, and asked calmly, "I don't know how the Holy Majesty mentioned the dismissal today?"

The prince did not answer, but asked in a low voice: "Do you have a poisonous needle on your body?"

How does the prince know that he has a poisonous needle? !

Thirteen had a bad feeling in his heart, but he had no choice but to reply, "I have two with me."

The prince handed over a red pill, and said softly, "You have martial arts, and before you go to bed, the emperor will give you a drug. You have to take this pill first, so that you can keep your mind clear."

Thirteen was angry, but he still sniffed the pill carefully, convinced himself that it was correct, and swallowed it.

The prince said again: "After drinking the drug, the eunuchs will take off your clothes and check to make sure you have no weapons on you. Where will you hide those two poisonous needles?"

Thirteen narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, prince, listen to what the prince said, Mei Yu is going to assassinate the emperor?"

The crown prince frowned and said, "General Ye should have made it clear to Mei Juan long ago. Why are you asking now?"

Thirteen was silent for a while, and the two only heard the sound of wheels turning.

Thirteen finally said: "I have my own method for poisonous needles, the prince needn't worry."

The prince continued to explain: "When you are sleeping, the shadow guards of the emperor will automatically avoid you, and you are the only one left in the room. You only have one chance, so do it yourself."

Thirteen said calmly: "After the assassination, how will the prince respond?"

A suspicious look appeared on the prince's face, and he said slowly: "If you succeed in the assassination, I will naturally send someone to respond, you don't have to worry."

There will be no one to respond!

There must be a sound when killing the emperor, even if he succeeds, the shadow guards will rush up and kill him.

This is an assassination with no return.

Thirteen whispered: "Mei Yu only has one question to ask, how did the crown prince know that Mei Yu has a poisonous needle?"

The crown prince looked at him and said, "General Ye told me this himself. You don't have to worry, I'll meet you outside the emperor's bedroom, and I will definitely protect your life."

Thirteen raised his head and said calmly, "Mei Yu knows."

The carriage swayed and galloped away, splashing water all the way.
