Chapter 155 Another Victim
"It's absolutely true. I won't lie to anyone!" Bei Yingchen was afraid that Yi Qianhuan wouldn't believe him, so he blurted out everything he knew.
To put it simply, after he left the Wanbao Auction House, he waited for the Shangshu Gongzi to come out in the teahouse opposite.
About an hour later, the Minister's son left Wanbao Auction House. He not only praised this place highly, but also said that he met people from the God Clan.
"The God Clan member he mentioned was the birdman. I remember that guy kept bragging to me after he came out, saying how glorious and amazing it was to meet the God Clan. At that time, I listened to his description and laughed at him for mentioning a birdman. I didn't expect him to get so angry that he seemed to have fallen seriously ill after returning."
Bei Yingchen said slowly: "At that time, I thought this kid was possessed by evil spirits, and what he did was also evil. It was not until I heard you and Yue Rong talking just now that I realized the connection between the two."
"Brother, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" Bei Yuerong looked at Bei Yingchen reproachfully.
Bei Yingchen was not convinced: "How dare you blame me? If I hadn't eavesdropped, I wouldn't have known that you were hiding something so important from me. Since you saw the birdman in the auction house, why didn't you tell me?"
"I was the only one who saw it at the time. I was worried that it was just my illusion. How could I dare to say anything?" Bei Yuerong felt a little embarrassed when Bei Yingchen looked at her, and quickly changed the subject: "Madam, is that child from the God Clan? What are God Clan?"
"Is it hard to understand the God Clan? As the name suggests, they are the descendants of the God Clan, the children of God!" Bei Yingchen said as a matter of course.
Yi Qianhuan smiled and said, "I have never heard of any gods in this world before. Gods are hidden in people's hearts. How can a thing without substance give birth to new life?"
"So, Mr. Shangshu was deceived?" Bei Yuerong asked.
"Maybe. Before I met the birdman, I couldn't come to a conclusion. However, I do know that the Shangshu Gongzi's luck was also taken away by someone, and if you calculate the time, it happened just after he and the young prince went to the auction house together. The three people whose luck was taken away are all related to the auction house. This is definitely not a coincidence."
"Then should we start from this aspect and investigate it carefully?" Bei Yingchen became interested as he spoke and looked at Yi Qianhuan expectantly.
"This matter is unusual. It is enough for me to investigate it myself." Yi Qianhuan wrote a new prescription for Bei Yuerong, then said goodbye and left.
While Yi Qianhuan was writing the prescription, Bei Yingchen was looking at her with pitiful eyes.
Seeing Yi Qianhuan leave without looking back, Bei Yingchen turned to look at his sister: "Am I so untrustworthy? Why doesn't she take me with her every time she goes out?"
Bei Yuerong laughed: "Brother, you are not a master of mysticism. The Crown Prince's wife may be worried about your safety, so she didn't take you with her."
"That Governor is not a master of mysticism..." Bei Yingchen said this, but he knew very well in his heart that Ji Chilian had the support of the entire Beifusi behind him.
Seeing Bei Yingchen walking out with a depressed look on his face, Bei Yuerong always felt that her elder brother seemed to have special feelings for Yi Qianhuan.
Yi Qianhuan immediately went to Prime Minister Liu's residence.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Yi Qianhuan heard a laughing voice coming from not far away.
"Madam, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Yi Qianhuan looked behind him.
The carriage of the princess's mansion stopped steadily behind her. Princess Lianhe, who had opened the curtain to look, smiled at Yi Qianhuan and quickly got off the carriage with the help of her maid.
"Greetings, Princess." Yi Qianhuan said calmly and confidently with an attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
Princess Lianhe walked in front of Yi Qianhuan, her skirt swaying slightly as she moved: "I heard that Miss Liu was unwell, so I brought some medicinal herbs to visit her. I wonder why the Crown Prince's wife came here today?"
Yi Qianhuan answered truthfully: "I found out that the recent incident of stealing people's luck in the capital might be related to Miss Liu, so I came here to investigate."
"I have also heard about this from the Governor. He is so overwhelmed by this matter that he is always too busy to take care of other things. Fortunately, the Crown Prince's wife is assisting the Governor. I think the truth will be revealed soon, and I can rest assured." Princess Lianhe smiled, "Since we all want to see Miss Liu, why don't we go together?"
"Of course." Yi Qianhuan seemed not to have heard the deep meaning behind Princess Lianhe's words, and walked into the gate of the Liu family with the princess.
As soon as he entered the Liu family, Yi Qianhuan felt a chill coming over him.
Although the sun is shining brightly today, the warmth of the sunlight seems unable to penetrate into the Liu family's home, making the entire family seem filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
After paying close attention, Yi Qianhuan and Princess Lianhe drove to the Liu family's flower hall together.
The maids quickly brought tea. After Yi Qianhuan and Princess Lianhe waited for a while, the Prime Minister's wife Zhang came to entertain them in person.
Zhang is over 40 years old this year. She is well maintained and looks gentle and elegant in a dark blue dress. At first glance, she looks like a gentle and decent lady.
After entering the room, Zhang bowed to Princess Lianhe and said, "Your Highness, I greet you."
Princess Lianhe smiled with her eyebrows curved, and personally helped Zhang up: "Madam, you are welcome. This palace and the Crown Prince's wife heard that Miss Liu was not feeling well, and we were worried about her. We suddenly came to visit today, and we are sorry to cause trouble to you."
Zhang looked at Princess Lianhe, her eyes filled with uncontrollable love: "Princess, you are being too humiliating to me."
Zhang turned and looked at Yi Qianhuan.
At just one glance, Zhang's eyes were filled with amazement.
As the prime minister's wife, Zhang came into contact with noble ladies and rich girls every day. However, those delicate beauties paled in comparison with Yi Qianhuan in front of her.
Zhang had seen Yi Qianhuan several times at palace banquets before, and she had heard that Yi Qianhuan was different now, but she had never expected that a change in a person's character could bring about such a big change in appearance.
Zhang looked at Princess Lianhe, then at Yi Qianhuan, and found them both pleasing to the eye, as both were rare beauties.
"The prince's wife has come to visit specially. My Rouer will be very happy to know about this." When mentioning Liu Qingrou, a hint of loneliness appeared in Zhang's eyes.
"I heard that Miss Liu has been in poor health since she fell seriously ill. I don't know why?" Princess Lianhe asked first.
"This is a strange thing. At first, Rouer only had nightmares occasionally and talked nonsense in her sleep. But later, for some reason, it became more and more serious. Not only did she have a high fever that wouldn't go away, but she also refused to eat or drink. At that time, the prime minister quickly invited the imperial physician from the palace to treat her, but they couldn't find out the cause of the disease." When Zhang said this, she couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
