Ling Haoyue raised her eyes and said, "I was young at the time, and I don't remember it very clearly, I only remember that coffin." โ€

In her memory, she only remembered the dark shrub in which her father was lying, wearing a snow-white shroud, with a white cloth covering him, and only one silhouette was there.

The black coffin and white shroud are particularly eye-catching.

"Did my father have an enemy when he was alive?" Ling Haoyue asked.

Uncle Zhong replied: "The horse has a pure temperament, but he has never had a grudge with anyone, if there is a grudge, I am afraid there is only one - Zhou Yi." โ€

"Zhou Yi?" Ling Haoyue muttered.

"But Concubine Yun's brother, General Minglie, Zhou Yi?"

Uncle Zhong nodded and said, "Yes." When the concubine asked to marry the princess, the princess had discussed marriage with Zhou Yi, the son of the Zhou family, but the princess took a fancy to the concubine, so she begged the queen mother and the emperor, and the emperor decreed to dissolve the marriage contract between the two and marry the princess to the concubine. โ€

"Divorced by the princess, Zhou Yi was ridiculed. The first emperor Xu was guilty, so he named him General Minglie, and pointed out a marriage to him, and the matter was settled. โ€

Ling Haoyue tried to recall Zhou Yi in her mind, she remembered that General Minglie was guarding the southwest border, and he was in power, but he was a fierce general.

"Did Zhou Yi and his father ever have a head-on conflict this time?"

Uncle Zhong shook his head and said: "That's not true, the horse has always avoided him, and the horse said that if he and Zhou Yi meet head-on, he is afraid that Zhou Yi's face will be damaged, so it is better to avoid him than this." โ€

Ling Haoyue lowered her eyes and was silent.

"County Lord, do you suspect that the person who killed the colt is Zhou Yi?" Uncle Zhong exclaimed.

Ling Haoyue shook her head and said, "Without evidence, no one can be sure. How much does Uncle Zhong know about Zhou Yi?"

Uncle Zhong quickly brushed it through his mind before he replied: "The Zhou family is also a famous nobleman in Beijing, and Zhou Yi's sister is the current saint Concubine Yun. Later, Zhou Yi was named the general of Minglie by the first emperor, and he was sent to guard the southwest border, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict. โ€

"How is Zhou Yiqi and his people?" Ling Haoyue continued to ask.

"It's mediocre, but it's not a gentleman's son, and he can't compare to the horse master in terms of talent, but after he was appointed as the commander of the southwest border, no enemy in the southwest dares to attack, and His Majesty is very satisfied with this. โ€

Uncle Zhong's answer made the suspicion in Ling Haoyue's heart even worse.

"In this way, this General Minglie is not an ordinary person. "An ordinary child of a family can keep the border stable for several years, and he must have it.

"By the way, when the horse had an accident, Zhou Yi had already served in the southwest border for a long time. Uncle Zhong added.

"The distance between the southwest and the south is not far away, but it is not close, if he really does something, it is also unaware. Ling Haoyue muttered.

The southwest and southern Xinjiang borders at the same time, far from the capital, if Zhou Yi secretly sets up an ambush on the road, it is really difficult to be discovered.

Uncle Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Back then, I also doubted that Zhou Yi did it, but I really didn't find anything. โ€

"Then since my mother married my father, the Zhou family has not been in contact with the Ling Guogong Mansion anymore?" Ling Haoyue actually wanted to ask if Zhou Yi and Ling Guogong had any intersections, but at the moment she couldn't tell Uncle Zhong that his father's death was related to Ling Guogong. If he said it, if he believed it, then he was afraid that he would raise the knife and question Ling Guogong. If you don't believe it, it will cause Uncle Zhong to misunderstand, and Uncle Zhong still has some trust in Ling Guogong.

Uncle Zhong thought for a while: "At first, there were mutual dislikes, but after all, the Zhou family is the second prince's mother's family, and they are all handled by the imperial court, so it's not too cold, county lord, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing but a casual question. Zhou Yi must have his means and ability to gain a firm foothold in the southwest, he and his father have a hatred for taking his wife, and his suspicion is not small. Ling Haoyue expected that if someone conspired with Ling Guogong, then this person must have a grudge with his father, and this person's power would not be too small, it was obvious that Zhou Yi was the most likely person.

Uncle Zhong muttered: "It is not unreasonable for the county lord to say this, at that time I carefully examined the corpses of the horse and the princess, the horse had countless sword wounds on his body, and he died of exhaustion, and the princess was killed by a knife, but there is one thing that is very strange, the princess's face was cut a lot. โ€

"Disfigured ......," Ling Haoyue said thoughtfully, "this is more like a woman's handiwork." "Disfigurement is a kind of thing that ordinary men can't do, and this kind of damaging technique is mostly seen in the struggle of women in the back house.

"Could it be a woman? No, ordinary women don't have the courage to assassinate the central government and the royal princess. Uncle Zhong was a little unconvinced.

"It's terrible for women to be ruthless, but there are too few women who can kill people and won't be found out. โ€

Women's minds are often less meticulous than men's, so there are even fewer women who can kill people and not be detected by royal agents.

"When did Zhou Yi marry his wife, and who did he marry?" Ling Haoyue asked further.

Every detail has the potential to find out who the murderer is?

"Zhou Yi's relatives are the marriage personally referred to by the emperor, and he is married to Xue, the daughter of the original Ministry of Rites, and he has become a relative before Zhou Yi went to the southwest, and later both of them went to live in the southwest. โ€

Ling Haoyue chuckled: "The first emperor was also thoughtful, directly pointed out Zhou Yi's relatives, and sent him to the southwest, he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict, and it was also for the sake of his mother." โ€

Uncle Zhong nodded and said, "At that time, the horse also said the same, so it's okay, Zhou Yi is no longer in Beijing, and this old matter will gradually not be mentioned." โ€

"County Lord, if you still suspect Zhou Yi, then I will personally go to the southwest to investigate, if it is really what he did, he will always show his feet. โ€

Ling Haoyue thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, then Uncle Lao Zhong will take a trip, be careful, and send me a letter as soon as there is news." โ€

Uncle Zhong nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, county lord, I will definitely be able to find out the murderer who killed the horse." โ€

"Be careful, no matter if you can find anything or not, after three months, Uncle Zhong must come back. Ling Haoyue can't wait, she must find out the murderer who killed her father within three months. Sending Uncle Zhong to the southwest is just one of the strategies.

"County Lord, just wait for my news. Uncle Zhong's eyes revealed firmness, he would definitely find the clue.

"The little girl next to the county lord is very good, and she is a little girl, and the county lord must take her with him when he goes out. Uncle Zhong was not worried about her safety, and always kept reminding her.

Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I will protect myself, and I will avenge my father." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

After Uncle Zhong left, Ling Haoyue leaned on the soft couch and rubbed her eyebrows, the person who killed her father was not so simple, Ling Guogong was just one of them, who else? Is it Zhou Yi?

Zhou Yi's grievances with his father and mother are well known, and the emperor and the queen mother are only afraid that he is the first one to suspect. Uncle Zhong checked it many years ago, and now if he investigates again, can he find clues?

"County Lord, are you feeling unwell?" asked Lily of the Valley cautiously. Ling Haoyue's face was not very good, a little pale, and the whole person was a little embarrassed.

Ling Haoyue shook her head and put down the hand that was rubbing her eyebrows.

"County Lord, do you have a headache, do you want the slave to rub it for you?" asked Lily of the Valley again.

Ling Haoyue waved her hand and said with a light smile: "No." โ€

Lily of the Valley couldn't help but mutter, "But your face looks so bad." โ€

"The county lord. At this time, Qingdai walked in, and as soon as she came in, she saw Lily of the Valley muttering in her mouth.

"Lily of the valley, what are you muttering?" said Qing Dai with a smile.

Lily of the valley looked very worried, and said, "Qing Dai, do you see if the county lord's face is a little bad, do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look." โ€

After she said this, Qingdai looked at it, and it seemed that it was really a little bad.

Under the burning gaze of Qing Dai and Lily of the Valley, Ling Haoyue chuckled: "What do you watch me do, I'm fine, but I'm just a little tired." โ€

However, the two girls looked at each other, then turned their heads again, and continued to look at her with burning eyes.

Ling Haoyue was very helpless, and couldn't help but look away, pretending that they weren't looking at herself. It's really how these two girls' eyes make her panic so much.

She is a doctor herself, so she doesn't know her body.

Finally, in the middle of the night, Qingdai spoke: "County Lord, is your little day coming?"

Ling Haoyue's little day, Qing Dai has been carefully remembering, and the calculation day is within the month when she went to southern Xinjiang.

As soon as Qing Dai said this, Ling Haoyue suddenly remembered that her little day had indeed not come.

"Oh, I'm very tired, maybe it's just that the little day is coming. "Ling Haoyue also had this kind of postponement of the small day in the past, and then when the small day came, the reaction was extremely strong, with fatigue and extreme pain in the abdomen.

Qing Dai frowned and said, "County Lord, you really didn't come this month's little day, could there be something?"

Ling Haoyue smiled faintly and said, "How can there be anything? I may have been too tired recently, and it is normal for a small day to be postponed, and besides, I am a doctor myself, so I don't know if my body can do it." โ€

Then Qingdai and Lily of the Valley obviously had a "I don't believe it" expression. The county lord has never paid much attention to his body, otherwise he would not have stayed up all night from time to time.

"County Lord, why don't you go and find Mr. Su to have a look. Qingdai said hesitantly.

"Didn't you just let him take the pulse......" Ling Haoyue said nonchalantly.

Qing Dai retorted directly: "That's just going through the motions, Mr. Su didn't even feel his pulse at that time, county lord, the slave and maid saw it with their own eyes, don't fool us." โ€

Lily of the Valley also nodded and said, "That's it, county lord, you better go and have a look, otherwise it will always make people feel uneasy." If you don't want to go, the slave will go to Mr. Su to come over. "Old Mr. Su is Ling Haoyue's master, it may not be appropriate to ask Master to come over to see it, but it is okay to ask Old Mr. Su to come and see for the sake of Ling Haoyue's body.
