Day and night, the horses continued towards the palace without resting. Everyone"s horses and faces were covered in dirt and sand, you couldn"t see who they were.
General Tong Jian Min heard the news and quickly ran away, asked surprised. "Why has Your Majesty returned hurriedly? Tong Er just chased you to tell you that the health of the Empress Dowager has improved; Therefore, he had personally left with a group of soldiers. Could it be that the king did not find him on the road?
"I found it, I sent it to the camp." Rong Tian"s feet kept walking hurriedly while asking "Is the health of the Queen Mother better?"
Tong Jian Min had to follow quickly "It"s much better. You no longer need to take medication since yesterday and you can leave the bed to walk in the garden. Your Majesty, where are you going quickly? "
"To the prince"s palace."
Upon entering the prince"s palace, everything was the same. Without the presence of the royal maidens, the prince"s palace only has the lower maids who were in charge of sweeping the area. When they saw the sudden presence of the Great King, they were surprised and greeted hastily and left scared.
When he opened the door of the room, he looked inside and everywhere he had an image of Feng Ming that made Rong Tian unable to contain his emotions. "Feng Ming, I came to take you."
However, everything was silent, there was no one to answer.
Rong Tian continued speaking, until a female voice responded from behind.
"Your Majesty, to recover a soul, a shaman has to be present."
Turned out to be Cai Qing, he followed Rong Tian back to the palace. Because she was sitting inside the horse carriage and was constantly moving, her face was a little thinner.
During the Feng Ming incident, next to him were his closest maids, only Cai Qing was a new a.s.sistant. Because of this, he made Rong Tian suspect; therefore, he did not want her to stay with Feng Ming and deliberately ordered him to follow him.
Rong Tian looked at her deeply and nodded "You"re right" He called the guards outside "Bring the counselor Lu-Dan here, all the things he needs, and order Tong Jian Min, who will then bring them."
The guard received the order and quickly ran away.
Cai Qing served a cup of tea for Rong Tian "Great King, please have some tea."
Rong Tian worked hard all the time, he was thirsty, but before he drank it, the guards who had just sent arrived running, they looked terrible, the guard reported: "Your Majesty, Counselor Lu-Dan is dead."
"What?"
With a clink the cup in Cai Qing"s hands fell and broke into pieces.
Rong Tian took two steps back and finally stood firm. He wanted to interrogate carefully, but Tong Jian Min pushes the door, his forehead full of cold sweat he said, "I recently heard about the Lu-Dan Advisor incident and examined the body. Although Lu-Dan is dead, the dead person is not Lu-Dan. "
Rong Tian seems to regain his mind and emotions, sat in a chair and continued. "What is the exact situation? Explain everything to me in detail! "
"Majesty, that person looks the same as Lu-Dan, the same dress, but he wore a strange mask of unknown origin. That person killed himself by drinking poison, black blood dripped down his mouth, causing the mask to wrinkle. "Jian Min"s hands handed over the meat mask" This is the mask the man had, I ask his majesty to look at it "
Rong Tian just took a look and stalked the mask and looked sharply at the standing guard. "Could it be that none of you noticed? What did not pay attention? Was it changed before the trip began or was it during the trip that disappeared? "
This guard is also one of the confidants who followed Rong Tian and knew something about the matter with Lu-Dan. He encountered his unfortunate report, and was full of complaints. I was surprised and scared. He quickly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has strictly ordered that Counselor Lu-Dan upon returning to the palace will use a lot of energy and will have to cultivate and rest. And no one is allowed to disturb him. Along the way, even the food tray just left outside the carriage for him, how can subordinates touch the face of the national advisor to see if it is false? "
Rong Tian could not p.r.o.nounce another word.
From the beginning, Lu-Dan began his plan, and even proposed to Rong Tian to return to the palace, something he cannot believe is that Lu-Dan will escape during the trip. That plan, only arriving in the city would be discovered. This thought made Rong Tian feel that he had a great loss.
Under the eyes and pain again, did Lu-Dan waste so much effort just to run away? But if he didn"t run away, was there another reason?
"Is it because of Feng Ming?" Rong Tian"s gaze was like a wild animal that was attacked.
Everyone in the place felt an abnormal pressure, and the air seemed to be pressed in a hard block and could not enter the lungs. No one dared to speak.
"Let"s say Lu-Dan is not here, what kind of tricks would he be doing?" Rong Tian tried to a.n.a.lyze this calmly "Dong Ling and Tong Er know that there is a spy within the group, who will secure the area carefully. There are thousands of soldiers who protect Feng Ming, also loyal maids, and Rong Hu, Lie-Er, who will return ...
I stop talking to myself. In his line of sight he turned to the side of Cai Qing, creating a suffocating and powerful pressure.
"Cai Qing, what is your relations.h.i.+p with Lu-Dan?"
Cai Qing"s face was even paler than a dead person. Just after hearing the news of Lu-Dan"s death, she became nervous to the point of dropping the cup as if it had been struck by lightning. Now, hearing the powerful interrogation tone of Rong Tian"s voice, his weak body could not help but tremble.
She shook her head "none ... none ..."
"Any?"
"yes"
"Quickly send this order, inside the camp, there is a boy named Cai Jiang, bring his head to me."
"Your Majesty, please don"t!" I was surprised and stunned. He got up and hugged him. He clung to his legs and said: "Your Majesty, please don"t! Your servant will answer, just hope that His Majesty can forgive Cai Jiang."
Rong Tian said quietly: "Speak!"
"That time, when Sister Chiu Lan tried to cook Chef Dong Fan"s recipe, I don"t know why Counselor Lu-Dan knew it. While cooking, Chiu Lan asked me to look for a plate of fresh blood. At that moment, Advisor Lu-Dan called me and gave me a bowl of fresh blood. He told me to bring him back to Chiu Lan to put in the food. "
Upstairs echoed the sound of Rong Tian clenching his teeth.
"Are you a royal maiden next to Duke Ming, but dare you bring another object from another kingdom and put it in Duke Ming"s food? If Lu-Dan put poison, would Feng Ming survive? For this incident, I could kill your whole family! "
Cai Qing shook his head desperately. "That blood, your servant had tested it with a needle to test the poison. Chiu Lan also tested it. Because he had no poison, therefore, he put himself in Duke Ming"s food. "
"Stupid! Even if it wasn"t poison, you can"t bring food from an unknown source to eat Feng Ming! Lu-Dan might not put poison, but he could have done a magic spell. "Rong Tian quickly thought," The unknown death of Song Teng could have connection to that strange bowl of blood. "
