Chapter 384: Escorted Back to Beijing

Yan Li effortlessly obtained the confession with Dugu Qingyun's private seal.

Before leaving the posthouse, she kindly reminded: "Prince, go and comfort your sister first, and then tell the envoy that this accident was an accident. Thanks to me for getting the news and rushing to rescue in time, the two princesses were able to survive."

Dugu Qingyun looked ugly, but he still had to force a smile, with a somewhat yin and yang tone: "Thank you very much, Princess."

"You're welcome, this is what Jin should do as the host." Yan Li replied calmly, "But because you did have an accident on the territory of Jin, please ask Prince Dugu to make a statistics of the number of guards and envoys who died, and their pensions will be paid by Jin."

Dugu Qingyun said in a bad tone: "No, I can afford this pension myself."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "In that case, then I won't be polite to Prince Dugu. I am angry, so I will leave first. "

"Wait." Dugu Qingyun frowned slightly, with a bit of doubt on his face, "You have already got the confession. Can the princess tell me truthfully, is there really someone involved in the South Country?"

Yan Li's expression was subtle: "Prince Dugu thought I was deceiving you?"

"Who is involved?"

"I am not that powerful." Yan Li said indifferently, turned around and walked out, "The only thing that can be confirmed is that Shen Yunniang is a pawn of a powerful person in the South Country, and there are pawns like Shen Yunniang who are proficient in seductive arts in Yan Country."

Dugu Qingyun's face changed, and he chased after her subconsciously: "There are also people in Yan Country? Who is it?"

"This princess has never been to Yan Country, how can I know who it is? Prince Dugu, go back and check it yourself."

Leaving this sentence, Yan Li walked away without looking back.

Dugu Qingyun's face was pale and blue, staring coldly at Yan Li's back, and he was very disgusted with the feeling of being controlled by others.

He couldn't help wondering where Yan Li came from. She was young and had never worshipped any strange person as her teacher. Why did she always look like she was in control of the situation?

There was something fishy going on.

After Yan Li left the inn, she went straight back to Han's house.

Mu Cang's interrogation of Han Yunping was also over.

Under her and Mu Cang's deliberate guidance, the two confessions of Dugu Qingyun and Han Yunping had roughly the same meaning, both pointing the finger at the fourth prince Yan Jin who was far away in Shengjing.

"This princess clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment." Yan Li put the two confessions together and compared them. "If others respect me three feet, I will respect them ten feet; if others want to harm me, I will definitely not repay resentment with kindness."

Mu Cangdan said: "Yang Yi will arrive in Fenglu early tomorrow morning. Let him take these two confessions back. Han Yunping, Han Yunshuo and Shen Yunniang will be taken back to Shengjing. All those who participated in the ambush will be accomplices. Let the emperor and the queen decide their fate at that time."

"Yes." Yan Li nodded, "By the way, let Yang Yi take a message back, saying that this princess was ambushed and her injuries are quite serious. She can't bear the hardship of the journey. She needs to stay here to heal her injuries and rest. She will go back in half a month."

The eldest princess was ambushed, which would only increase the anger of the emperor and the queen. All the culprits would naturally be severely punished. Tianlai Novel Network

In addition, while Yang Yi was escorting the prisoners back to Beijing, Yan Li and Mu Cang could take the opportunity to go to the South Country. When he returned to Shengjing, he told the emperor that Yan Li needed half a month to recuperate, which was enough time for Yan Li and Mu Cang to reach the imperial city of the South Country.

Half a month is neither short nor long.

Even if the emperor and empress of Jin were worried about her injury, it was not worth sending people to check her injury.

Yan Li and Mu Cang could have at least 20 days of free time. Of course, even if an accident occurred and delayed the time, it was not impossible to find a logical reason to explain it.

After lunch, Mu Cang and Yan Li made sure that all the people who should be settled were settled properly and all the people who should be controlled were controlled.

The two went to Fenglu Market for a stroll and rode horses to the outskirts of the military camp.

In the evening, they received a letter from Yang Yi. Yan Li replied and asked them to come directly. Everything was under control here. There were no checkpoints, roadblocks, or ambushes along the way.

So the next morning, Yang Yi led 900 elite soldiers to arrive on time.

With their arrival, there were more manpower and everything was easy and convenient. After handing over to Lin Jian and others, the soldiers rested for half a day, replenished food and water, and quickly took the prisoners to the prisoner car and returned to Beijing with all the evidence.

Fenglu City immediately returned to peace.

Before Yan Li and Mu Cang left Fenglu, Lin Jian came to see her: "Wan Niang didn't do anything she shouldn't do after marrying me. Can the princess let her go?"

"Whether she can be let go is not up to me." Yan Li said indifferently, "She is someone else's pawn. Who knows, someone might give her an order one day to kill you in the middle of the night."

Lin Jian's expression changed slightly: "She... shouldn't."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Lin Jian didn't speak, but his expression was hesitant.

"I won't kill her, but we still need to be on guard." Yan Li said indifferently, "You are the commander, commanding the military power of one side, and shouldering the safety of the people of Fenglu. The lives of your parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and son are all in your hands, so whether to trust her or be on guard against her, you decide for yourself."

Lin Jian bowed: "Yes, thank you, Princess, for your grace."

"Go back."

"I'll take my leave."

That night, Yan Li and Mu Cang lay head to head on the highest roof of the Han Mansion, looking at the few stars in the night sky, Yan Li suddenly asked with emotion: "Mu Cang."

"Hmm?"

"You said that after I died, if I had not been reborn into Yan Li's body, would I have become a star in the sky?"

Mu Cang froze when he heard the words, then turned his head and stared at her face from a close distance.

It was hard to see clearly at night, and only the outline of her face could be seen vaguely: "No."

"Why?"

"Didn't the high priest say that? You can't become a star as long as your lamp is not extinguished."

"But according to common sense, my body is actually dead." Yan Li frowned, "Can a dead person really come back to life?"

Mu Cang didn't speak.

He couldn't answer this question.

Although the priest's hall has many abilities that mortals can't imagine, such as astrology, divination, and prediction of the future, they protect the orthodox royal family of the Southern Kingdom and their people like a guardian god.

Some high priests with profound cultivation do have spiritual power that can communicate with the gods, but they are not omnipotent gods.

If a person dies for a day or two, there may be a chance of survival.

But if breathing stops for half a year or even a year, no matter how well the body is preserved, it will gradually lose vitality, the internal organs will begin to fail, and all body functions will stop functioning.

Even if the Priest Hall really has a way to return her to her previous body and bring her back to life, can she still be the same as before?
