Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 370 The Rosewood Sedan

"I heard that there was something unclean in the food, so the emperor sent Commander Huo to investigate the matter thoroughly."

In Kunning Palace, the maid Qinghuan followed the Queen's instructions and quietly reported the news she had heard.

The Queen's eyes narrowed. She had just sent Luo Xiaoran to the prison, and right after that, something unclean got into Luo Xiaoran's meal. What a coincidence!

"Qing Huan, do you think I've been used?"

The Queen's voice was filled with a hint of danger. Qing Huan blinked and replied cautiously:

"Now that I think about it, Princess Qingyi's initiative to come up and talk to me that day was indeed too obvious."

The queen's breathing became a little rapid. She closed her eyes and carefully recalled what Chen Lingyi said that day.

After a long time, he opened his eyes again, full of doubts.

"I don't care whether Chen Lingyi is using me to deal with Luo Xiaoran. In my eyes, she is just a prostitute who curries favor with the powerful.

I just want to know who the real murderer is who killed my brother!

My parents asked me to protect myself and not think about this matter anymore, but my eldest brother loves me the most, how can I stay out of it!

Maybe, I should meet Luo Xiaoran first..."

……

Heaven Prison.

Huo Qingyun raised his hand without hesitation. He looked at Luo Xiaoran steadily, his expression sincere and solemn.

"I, Huo Qingyun, swear here that I will never spread the word 'allergy' to anyone else, and I will not let Jiang Bin know about your inference about the death of the late crown prince today.

If you break this oath, your soul will be destroyed!"

Looking at Huo Qingyun swearing to the sky, Luo Xiaoran seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Huo Qingyun was stunned. Is the way he looks now... funny?

Huo Qingyun silently put down his raised hand, and his eyes gradually changed from confusion to resentment. Luo Xiaoran felt that her smile was indeed inappropriate, and she tried hard to stop laughing, her eyes shining.

"I just suddenly remembered that when you threatened me with the imperial prison in the military headquarters, I swore to heaven and made up some nonsense to explain my own name."

As if recalling Luo Xiaoran's funny look at that time, a hint of warmth flashed in Huo Qingyun's eyes.

"So, you were really lying at that time."

Luo Xiaoran waved her hands with an expression that said, "There's no need to mention the past."

"We weren't familiar with each other at that time, so I couldn't tell the truth. It wouldn't be reliable if I told a complete lie, so I had to tell half the truth!"

So you mean, we know each other well now?

The warmth in Huo Qingyun's eyes became even stronger. He thought that they had become true gentlemen's friends.

Suddenly I remembered that the reason why Luo Xiaoran was captured by the Bingmasi that day was because Lin Xiaotian was assassinated, so he ordered the city gates to be closed and people leaving the city to be searched. Only then was Luo Xiaoran, whose pass did not match the order, found out.

In the end, no results were found in the assassination of Lin Xiaotian.

Perhaps it was because Luo Xiaoran had just given Huo Qingyun great inspiration regarding the death of the late crown prince.

Or perhaps, as he got to know Luo Xiaoran better, Huo Qingyun felt that Luo Xiaoran could always give him unexpected surprises.

Somehow, Huo Qingyun couldn't help but connect the assassination of Luo Xiaoran and Lin Xiaotian together.

After all, he now knows that Luo Xiaoran has kung fu skills.

As soon as he thought of it, Huo Qingyun asked without hesitation or any other thoughts.

Then Huo Qingyun saw a rare flash of guilt on Luo Xiaoran's bright and lively face.

Luo Xiaoran looked like she had eaten a very sour apricot, and her whole face was covered with tears.

During this time, Huo Qingyun just looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"I didn't assassinate Lin Xiaotian, but I was the one who set the fire on his sedan chair."

After Luo Xiaoran finished speaking, the one whose facial features flew around was Huo Qingyun.

If he remembered correctly, Luo Xiaoran was really just a village girl at that time, a commoner who couldn't be more ordinary.

The only special thing about Luo Xiaoran at that time was that King Yan knew her name, and she was released from the imperial prison because of this.

Therefore, how could she have the guts to burn the sedan chair of the patriarch of the Lin family? What reason did she have to burn the sedan chair of the patriarch of the Lin family?

That rosewood sedan was Lin Xiaotian's proudest sedan. Everyone in Kyoto knew it, and seeing the sedan was like seeing the person.

Whenever the rosewood sedan paraded through the streets of Kyoto, everyone would follow it with admiring eyes, because they knew that the person sitting inside was the head of the Lin family.

"Don't ask me why I did that! It will involve other things, it's a bit complicated, I don't want to talk about it!"

If this matter is explained, it can be linked to the murder of Lin Qianqian. The situation is too complicated. I refuse to talk about it!

By the way, Huineng has already told Lin Xiaotian that he killed Lin Qianqian, but why hasn't Lin Xiaotian come to settle the score with him yet?

Could it be that he is holding back some big move?

Luo Xiaoran didn't know that while she was daydreaming, Huo Qingyun was being amazed again and again by her "feat" of burning the rosewood sedan chair.

However, since Luo Xiaoran didn't let Huo Qingyun continue asking, Huo Qingyun would not go against her wishes.

On the other side, Wei An followed Huo Shui outside while thinking about the sad ending of the little mermaid.

He wasn't paying attention and bumped into Huo Shui who suddenly stopped in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't notice you stopped."

Wei An apologized while rubbing his head.

Huo Shui still had his back to her, and said in a cold voice, "Are you blaming me... for suddenly stopping?"

Wei An was stunned. Although she was young, she could understand good and bad words, and could even hear Huo Shui's deliberately difficult tone.

But when he thought that in the future days in the Heavenly Prison, he would still have to rely on Huo Shui to bring food to her and Luo Xiaoran and protect their safety, Wei An endured it silently.

"I didn't mean that. My eyesight is bad. It's my fault. Sister Huo Shui, please forgive me!"

Wei An's soft words successfully made Huo Shui turn around, but her pretty face still had a cold look.

"I don't forgive, so what?"

Wei An subconsciously clenched her fists, which was her usual action when facing difficult problems.

But he was stunned for only two moments before Wei An reacted quickly and put on a friendly smile again.

"Then what should I do so that Sister Huo Shui can forgive me?"

"Sure enough, you are just like your master, with a servile and fawning face!

I admit that your master is quite clever, and perhaps he has hooked up with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan through some means.

But my Lord Huo is a well-known and talented man in Kyoto, a man of both civil and military talents. He is not someone that a country boy like your master can cling to!

If a situation like today were to reach the ears of Prince Yan, he would know that his future princess was alone in a room with a man.

Your master is willing to sacrifice his reputation, but my master's reputation is damaged, what should I do?"

Huo Shui didn't know that Wei An was a servant sent by Chen Ji to be by Luo Xiaoran's side to protect her closely.

She thought that Wei An was the maid that Luo Xiaoran brought from the village. The similar heroic eating habits of the two just now made Huo Shui confirm this.

That's why she dared to speak to Wei An.
