Chapter 277: The Heart of Disobedience
And with the weirdness of this matter, from Zhuang Mingyue's heart, she felt more and more that this matter was too weird, and it could even be said that it was not as simple as what they saw on the surface.
With this kind of thought, it deepened little by little in her heart, and Zhuang Mingyue wanted to continue the investigation and thoroughly investigate this matter.
At the same time, Zhuang Mingyue also understood in her heart that with her current identity and power, it was not appropriate to directly investigate this matter, not to mention that it was not appropriate, just the origin of the sudden fire made her suffer a lot of obstacles.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was thinking like this, was not willing to give up this fire incident so easily for a while, and finally Zhuang Mingyue, who had thought about it for a long time, decided to mention this matter with Long Yuanxiu and ask him about his thoughts and opinions.
Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't want to pull Long Yuanxiu in at first, after thinking about it, felt that since she was ready to be with Long Yuanxiu, these things that might be dangerous to do should be known to the other party.
Because only when the other party knows, she will not be anxious to investigate when she is in danger, and even worry and blame herself for not even knowing where she is.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was thinking like this in her heart, soon came to Long Yuanxiu's mansion, ready to discuss this matter with him.
I haven't seen Zhuang Mingyue's steward for a long time, and suddenly saw her come to the house, her own kind face, and then she smiled at this moment, just like Maitreya Buddha, which made people involuntarily laugh behind her.
"Miss Zhuang, it's really been a long time, the prince is in the study now, do you need the old slave to take you over?"
Looking at the manager's happy appearance, the smile on Zhuang Mingyue's face couldn't be stopped, "No need, I know Yuan Xiu's study, take care of you and be busy with your affairs." ”
When the steward heard Zhuang Mingyue call Long Yuanxiu's name, not only did he not feel rude, but the smile in his eyes deepened, and he nodded again and again in response: "Alas, good." If you have anything you need, Miss Zhuang, you can just tell the old slave or the slaves in this house to do it. ”
"Okay, then I'll go find Yuan Xiu first." After saying that, Zhuang Mingyue walked directly in the direction of Long Yuanxiu's study.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was very familiar with the layout in Long Yuanxiu's mansion, looked at everything that was obviously very familiar, but at this moment, she felt that everything was not as it was when she came.
I feel that my mentality has changed now, so I feel that after walking in, looking at everything in the prince's mansion, I am full of different feelings.
"Yuan ...... Well? Zhuang Mingyue, who was just about to knock on the door, just put her hand on the door of the study when she saw that the door suddenly opened from the inside out.
Long Yuanxiu, who was standing inside the door, also saw Zhuang Mingyue at the moment he opened the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then there was a smile in his eyes and lips that couldn't be hidden, "Mingyue, why are you here?" ”
"Of course I miss you. Seeing that you haven't looked for me for so long, I can only take the initiative to come and look for you. ”
Since Zhuang Mingyue confirmed the feelings in her heart, she has not concealed her feelings at all, and she is open in the 21st century, so she doesn't think that there is anything wrong with this way of women chasing men.
And Zhuang
Mingyue has always been a person who thinks of anything, so when Long Yuanxiu asked, she never thought that she would hide something because of shyness or something.
On the contrary, when Long Yuanxiu heard Zhuang Mingyue's words, the joy in his eyes suddenly evolved into an inseparable meaning.
But he didn't express his feelings as straightforwardly as Zhuang Mingyue, he just coughed lightly, and struggled to suppress the unstoppable smile on the corner of his mouth to the lowest arc.
"Let's go in first." Although Long Yuanxiu didn't say anything, whether it was his demeanor or the action of eagerly pulling Zhuang Mingyue in, they all expressed his feelings again.
After the two walked in, Zhuang Mingyue found that the long table in the study was already full of all kinds of documents at the moment, and the stacks of them were obviously different from other documents.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was a little curious, stepped forward and reached out to pick up the top book, "This is all the news sent recently?" How can there be so many? ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was talking, directly turned over the paperwork.
Zhuang Mingyue, who just thought it was a matter above the court, was just going to flip through it at will, but after seeing what was said in the document, she couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that the expression on Zhuang Mingyue's face gradually became more serious while looking at the paperwork.
After a while, after Zhuang Mingyue finished reading what was said in the paperwork, she frowned and put the document back in her hand, "You are also investigating the fire in the princess's palace?" ”
Long Yuanxiu, who had never intended to hide something, nodded after hearing Zhuang Mingyue's inquiry, "That fire is really weird, I always feel that it is not as simple as what I see, so I think I should investigate." ”
After Long Yuanxiu said this, he also instantly understood that the word Zhuang Mingyue said was "also", which means that Zhuang Mingyue was also investigating the matter of this fire.
Long Yuanxiu, who didn't want Zhuang Mingyue to be involved in such a complicated matter, couldn't help frowning. But before he could speak, Zhuang Mingyue, who had already seen what he was thinking, took the lead and said, "I have already started to investigate." I'm here to tell you about it today. ”
Long Yuanxiu, who was interrupted first, naturally understood that Zhuang Mingyue didn't want him to persuade anything after hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words.
I saw him take a deep look at Zhuang Mingyue in front of him, and finally shook his head a little helplessly, "Then what have you investigated now?" ”
"The night was windless and not dry enough to ignite and catch fire, and it stands to reason that it would not have caught fire unless a candle flame had been knocked over in the palace. But I asked the guards I saw that day, and they all said that the fire that night started from outside, so they couldn't go in to save people, and they ......"
Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, paused, and after a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Long Yuanxiu in front of him, "And it stands to reason that it is already the middle of the night, and there is no candle burning nearby, and the princess has never had anything to do with it, and she has to have the need for fire to sleep soundly at night." ”
Listening to Zhuang Mingyue's analysis, Long Yuanxiu's frowning brows couldn't help but tighten slightly
Some.
Although he did investigate a lot of things about this fire, the last point mentioned by Zhuang Mingyue was indeed something he had never thought of.
And judging from the analysis that has been available so far, I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as they have guessed before.
Since it is very likely that this fire was man-made, this person either deliberately wanted to burn the princess to death, so as to provoke a war between Tiansheng and Shunqi.
Either the princess didn't want to marry in the Shunqi Kingdom, so she deliberately made the traces of this fire, otherwise, not to mention that this fire came suddenly, just because of the wind, it shouldn't have burned like this.
And in Zhuang Mingyue's opinion, the character of the princess is definitely not a person who will stay in the palace and wait for death, even if this fire is extremely strong, the princess will definitely try her best to escape.
Long Yuanxiu, who was also thinking like this, nodded subconsciously, but at the moment of nodding, a flash of inspiration flashed, "No, there is another possibility, someone helped the princess escape." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who had never thought that there was such a possibility, paused slightly, and after she thought about this possibility clearly, she instantly understood, and her face suddenly became a little solemn, "This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, while all the clues still exist." ”
Long Yuanxiu, who was also thinking like this in his heart, nodded at her approvingly.
As the two of them put this possibility into their hearts, they began to investigate the truth about the palace fire and the burning of the princess as quickly as possible.
But in this investigation, the two inadvertently discovered something wrong.
There should have been nothing left of this kind of thing that had been burned except charcoal, except for some eunuchs and palace maids who came to clean, and no one else should have come.
But when Zhuang Mingshu and Long Yuanxiu investigated again, they not only found that while they were investigating, there were other hidden forces that would appear inside and outside the palace from time to time, and even they could occasionally witness the sudden movements of the forces.
On the other hand, although they can now be sure that in this palace, there are other forces that have settled here from time to time.
But just as they discovered each other, the two of them were afraid that they would be discovered by each other, which led to a startling of the snake, so they never investigated too boldly, but tried to avoid being detected by the other party, and carefully investigated.
Just after Zhuang Mingshu and Long Yuanxiu had followed this group of people for a while, they thought that they might not be able to investigate anything, but they didn't expect to let them find out, something they had never thought about.
It's just because this group of people actually harbors a rebellious heart!
After knowing this, the two of them stared at each other's equally incredible eyes in disbelief. Of all the thoughts they had guessed before, the most likely was that someone had joined forces with the princess and rescued her.
However, at this point in the investigation, the matter has long been more than just who unites with whom, and fakes the situation of suicide in order to avoid other countries and relatives.
