Chapter 266: I appreciate your good wishes, Your Majesty.
"Wen Yu has already found some clues. Those bandits are well-trained and not like ordinary bandits. They were able to find Zeng Qin's privately minted coins. I'm afraid they were not really after money."
"You mean....they have other purposes?"
"Yes, Wen Yu has secretly followed some bandits. They act decisively and efficiently, and their killing methods are very uniform. They seem like they are from the military."
"You said they were soldiers?"
Pei Zhijin nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the day when Qingyun Hall was wiped out?"
"Remember." Li Lingchen frowned slightly.
"My father was pushed off the cliff that day not only because of Pei Chong, but also because those men in black killed my father first and then pushed him off the cliff."
"And the killing method of those men in black is exactly the same as those bandits, killing with one strike."
Li Lingchen frowned after hearing this, "What happened five years ago was related to those bandits."
"I'm not sure if it's them, but now we have one more clue, which is considered a gain." Pei Zhijin said, and then bowed slightly to Li Lingchen and said, "Your Majesty, I will lead the troops to suppress the bandits. Maybe they are really connected with those men in black five years ago."
Li Lingchen looked at Pei Zhijin, knowing that Pei Zhijin had been investigating and destroying the murderer behind Qingyun Hall in recent years, and wanted to avenge his father, so he nodded and said, "I can promise you that if those bandits are really related to what happened five years ago, we will have to make a long-term plan, and we will make plans after your wedding."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The most important thing right now is your marriage. You don't have any elders here. How about I make you a Duke and let the Imperial Household Department take care of all the wedding ceremonies?"
Pei Zhijin immediately refused after hearing this: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I...it's really not necessary."
"Not happy?"
"Your Majesty knows that I do not like being shackled, and neither does that person."
"Hahaha, good, good." Li Lingchen laughed when he heard it, "I didn't expect that you'd start to be henpecked before the ceremony even started."
Pei Zhijin raised the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said nothing.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Lingchen asked Pei Zhijin to leave the palace. Before leaving, he forced Hong Fu to take the imperial edict to the Imperial Household Department.
As soon as Pei Zhijin left the palace, he met Li Lingxuan's carriage on the street.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Pei Zhijin bowed slightly.
Li Lingxuan slowly lifted the car curtain, revealing his handsome and cold face. He then raised his eyes to look at Pei Zhijin and said in a low voice, "I heard that Jiang Xue is going to marry Master Pei. It seems that she is in a good mood because of the happy event."
"Your Highness, you are joking. I have always been in good health. When something happy happens, I naturally look better than usual."
"Hmph, I would like to congratulate you two."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Lingxuan looked at Pei Zhijin with deep eyes, then lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."
The carriage started slowly. Li Lingxuan held the teacup in his hand and rubbed it slowly. Then he told Mu Qi outside, "Tell her that no matter what method is used, if the ceremony is completed on the seventh day, she will not need any antidote."
"Yes." Mu Qi replied softly outside the carriage.
Lin House.
The main door was closed and most of the servants in the mansion had left. Only the housekeeper was left in the front hall, busy hanging red lanterns.
Lin Wanwan came over from behind, looked at the red lanterns in the yard, and said to the housekeeper with disdain: "Father doesn't even take the Lin Mansion as his home, why do you, a servant, take it so seriously? If someone doesn't know, they would think Lin Yiyi is your daughter?"
When the housekeeper heard Lin Wanwan's voice, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, quickly came down from the ladder, and said awkwardly: "Miss, please be careful with your words. Although the master is not at home and Miss Lin is not getting married at home, the celebration should not be missed."
"Hmph, you villain." Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at the butler and walked straight towards the door.
Seeing this, the housekeeper stepped forward and stopped her, saying, "Second Miss, the master has said that you are not allowed to go out..."
Snapped!
Lin Wanwan slapped the housekeeper and said coldly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me!"
Then he said to Xiaohuan: "Go open the door!"
"Yes."
Xiao Huan hurried forward to open the door. Lin Wan Wan looked at the housekeeper fiercely and said, "If you want to tell father, go ahead."
Then he pushed the butler away and strode out.
Xiaohuan followed closely behind silently.
"Have you found out where the young marquis is?" Lin Wanwan asked Xiang Xiaohuan.
Xiao Huan said respectfully: "My lady, the young marquis is in Baoyue Tower right now."
"Did you get the medicine?"
Xiaohuan's expression changed slightly, and she nodded, "Miss, do you really want to... do this?"
"If I don't do this, how can I ruin Lin Yiyi's marriage? The young marquis is the man that I, Lin Wanwan, like. On what basis can she marry into the marquis' mansion as she wishes? Even if this marriage is ruined, I will never let Lin Yiyi marry into the marquis' mansion and watch her be happy."
Xiaohuan looked at her young lady's resentful expression and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.
Lin Wanwan got on the carriage directly and said, "Let's go."
Xiao Huan finally reacted and immediately whispered to the driver, "Go to Bao Yue Tower."
The coachman nodded slightly, then drove the carriage slowly towards Baoyue Tower.
Baoyue Tower was packed with people at this time. The tables on the first floor had been turned over countless times, and it was hard to find a private room on the second floor.
In the private room in the middle of the second floor, Wang Ziyan was sitting on a stool with a frown on his face, slowly stroking the rim of the cup with his hand. Ah Hui was standing next to him, also with a frown on his face.
"Boss, King Cheng wants to use Yingtang as a scapegoat. Qingyuntang has been wiped out for so long, why is he suddenly looking for the head of Qingyuntang? Besides, who knows whether the head of Qingyuntang is alive or dead?"
Prince Yan's eyebrows were deep, his eyes were fixed on the wine glass in his hand, and then he said thoughtfully: "King Cheng wants the information collection of Qingyun Hall."
Ah Hui said anxiously: "Since the Queen Mother left, King Cheng can no longer hide his thoughts. In my opinion, King Cheng may... rebel in the future."
Wang Ziyan looked at Ah Hui, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said softly: "King Cheng is using us as a shield. Ah Hui, tell your men to follow King Cheng's request and find the head of Qingyun Hall to restrain their edge, and then find a suitable reason to make Yingtang withdraw from the arena."
Ah Hui frowned and said, "What the boss means is... that Yingtang will no longer be involved in the affairs of the underworld?"
"Well, although I promised King Cheng that Shadow Hall would be at his disposal, I also didn't say that Shadow Hall would not be destroyed. Find a reason to make Shadow Hall disappear from the martial arts world."
Ah Hui immediately understood and nodded, "Yes, Boss."
Then Ah Hui took a look at the food and wine on the table and said softly, "Boss, do you want someone to heat up these dishes?"
"Need not."
"Then I will leave first."
"kindness."
After Lin Wanwan entered Baoyue Tower, she was seen by Wang Zijun who had just come in. Seeing that she seemed to be looking for someone, he stepped forward and asked, "Second Miss Lin, why are you here?"
When Lin Wanwan heard someone calling her, her heart skipped a beat. She turned around in panic and saw Wang Zijun had stopped in front of her.
