Lin Xiao has been immersed in the grief of his father's murder for the past few days, and he has been washing his face with tears all day long.

"How is it, did he agree?" Lin Xiao hurriedly asked after seeing the maid come back.

Her father was killed, and until now she didn't know what the situation was, and she didn't dare to go out of the palace to visit without permission, Shen Zecang ordered her to stay in the palace and not to cause more trouble.

She didn't even know if her father's bones had been cleaned up now, so she could only wash her face with tears in the palace and keep begging Shen Zecang to let her see her father.

Hearing the maid's answer like this, Lin Xiao was even more devastated, how could this be? Hurriedly asked, "Did you say anything, Lord Wang?"

The maid said: "The prince said that he would send someone to properly arrange Lin Rui's body, so that you don't have to worry about it, now you are emotionally unstable and not suitable to leave the palace." ”

Lin Xiao naturally knew that his remarks were untenable, but now that her father was dead, she had no backer and did not dare to disobey Shen Zecang's orders without permission. Now I was relieved to know that he would make proper arrangements for his father.

"Your Highness, did the princess clamor to see Lin Rui just now?" the guard asked Shen Zecang.

"Well, I've sent her back. Shen Zecang said, and then seemed to remember something bad again, closed his eyes and shook his head again.

Seeing him like this, the guards naturally guessed what he was worried about, and asked cautiously: "Now that Lin Rui is dead, and the Martial Arts Alliance has no leader, what should we do now?"

Shen Zecang sighed and said, "Now that the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is dead, then they will be useless, and our cooperation will probably be terminated." ”

The guard said in a very sad tone: "This is a cooperation that you have worked hard for so long, and if you don't get rid of this Gu Fengmian, I'm afraid it will become a big obstacle to your ascension to the throne in the future." ”

Shen Zecang snorted coldly: "I naturally know this, but Gu Fengmian has a huge power of his own, plus he has the protection of Shen Zeyuan and Song Shuyan, and now he is married to Zuo Xiang, and now he is not more able to move than me." ”

The guard wanted to say something, but Shen Zecang said to him very seriously: "Okay, let's go down if there is nothing to do." ”

The guard gave up and said "Yes!" and went down.

Qinggele was very happy to hear that Lin Xiao's father had died in the past few days, and saw that Song Wanyan and Lin Xiao had lost their backers, and now no one in the mansion could compare to him, and his heart became more and more happy.

This morning, Song Wanyan and Lin Xiao went to Qinggele to say goodbye.

In the past few days, Song Wanyan has been particularly flattering to Qinggele, and often chats and drinks tea with her to relieve her boredom.

Qingge smiled and said to Song Wanyan: "Sister, I have got a new piece of material these days, which was specially sent by my father from Baiyi Country, I don't think I need so much, so I will give you a horse." ”

Song Wanyan said with a flattered face: "This is unacceptable, my sister's material was specially ordered by your father Baiyi Country Lord to send it to you, how can I be embarrassed to take such a valuable fabric." ”

When he heard this, he was even more happy and said, "Let you take it, you can take it, it's not very valuable, it's just a piece of cloth." But he was very proud in his heart.

Lin Xiao had been heartbroken by Lin Rui's death in the past few days, but now that the two of them mentioned it, they were even more sad, and the tears couldn't stop flowing, and they hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief.

The fire in Qingle's heart came up again when he saw her like this, and her good mood was ruined by her, but seeing that she had always been submissive in front of her for the past few days, she was very sensible, so she also said: "Okay! What are you crying about, I don't know what happened in our palace." I'll give you a horse, too. ”

Lin Xiao didn't do it for her material, but she immediately didn't dare to cry and replied, "Yes! Thank you, princess." ”

Qingler yawned with an "um" and told the two to quickly retreat.

Song Wanyan has been poisoning Qinggel for the past few days, and she has been by her side just to monitor her movements. In the past few days, she has often been sleepy, but her face is not as shiny as before, and Song Wanyan knows that it is a toxic attack.

Song Wanyan took the lead in getting up and saluting Qinggere, and then left, it seemed that it was time to take the medicine a little heavier.

There was a secret report from Wu Guo's side, and the secret guard hurriedly gave it to Shen Zecang.

"Your Highness, do you have any instructions from the Wu Kingdom?" said the secret guard.

"Well, Wu Qingge said that they are ready, let me quickly get rid of Qinggel and light the fuse. Shen Zecang said.

Shen Zecang thought for a while and asked him again: "What's going on in Qinggrad recently?"

"Concubine Song has already done it, and she has been drugging the princess for the past few days, but the princess has not noticed it. The dark guard said to Shen Zecang.

"Well, now that Lin Rui is dead, Lin Xiao is useless to us, Song Wanyan may be useful in the future if she keeps it, these days she secretly increases the dosage of the medicine a little more, Song Wanyan will definitely point the finger at Lin Xiao, so that she doesn't even have a chance to defend herself, you know?" Shen Zecang said.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it. With that, he retreated.

On the third day, Qingler suddenly died violently in his room, bleeding and foaming at the mouth, and his death was very ugly. The people were frightened and hurriedly called Shen Zecang.

Shen Zecang glanced at it and asked very angrily: "Say! What is going on!"

Everyone was stunned and did not dare to speak.

The maid who had been serving Qinggele closely, said: "The princess has been sleepy and unwell in the past few days, and she went to bed very early yesterday, and the slave was afraid that she would not eat and would be hungry in the middle of the night, so she went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge to the princess." ”

The maid trembled as she spoke, and she didn't dare to continue, but Shen Zecang yelled at her, "Go on!"

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the princess to be even more sleepy after eating, let us wait for her to rest and then let us retreat. ”

Shen Zecang said: "Go! Find me all the people who went in and out of the kitchen yesterday, and check them one by one, no one can miss them." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to stay any longer, and immediately went to find out who had been in and out of the kitchen yesterday and checked them one by one.

In the end, after the housekeeper deleted them one by one, the only ones left were the chef, the maid and Lin Xiao who made bird's nest yesterday.

Shen Zecang asked sharply: "You three, it's best to tell me the truth, otherwise I will send all of you to the official mansion." ”

The chef said, "Lord Wang, spare my life, I'm just cooking, and yesterday Concubine Lin asked me to give her a bowl of bird's nest porridge." The princess's maid also came, saying yes, but it was just a bowl at the time, and I didn't know anything. ”

The princess's maid also said: "I snatched this bird's nest porridge from her, she must have done something." ”

For a while, the murderer was quickly locked onto Lin Xiao.
