"Let her go first, as long as Old Madam Ling is there, it is unlikely that Ling Guogong will make a faint move, what this palace wants now is how to let the Zhao family open his mouth to identify Ling Guogong, otherwise even if the Zhao family is dead, the real murderer behind the scenes is not just at large. โ€

From beginning to end, Ling Haoyue's goal was to avenge her parents, she didn't care about the rest, but Ling Guogong, the murderer, was caught, how about Ling Guogong's mansion, she was really not interested, anyway, no one was innocent.

"Does the princess mean to meet the Zhao family?" Qing Dai asked, "But according to the slave maid's observation, it is unlikely that the Zhao family will retract the confession, if the Zhao family really wanted to say it, she would have said it in court at that time." โ€

"Why didn't the Zhao family say it, it's not all the credit of Old Madam Ling, threatening her with Ling Yuanqian, now that Ling Wanrou is dead, the Zhao family only has one son, Ling Zhengchu, for her son to bear all the charges, she is a good mother, but she made the wrong idea, Ling Zhengchu is not only her son, but also the son of Ling Guogong, using his own son as a bargaining chip to threaten her, will such a father be good to his son?"

Ling Haoyue suddenly felt that people's hearts were so interesting, there were two sides, there was a good side and a bad side, but I didn't know when and which side was more obvious.

"Princess, you are an outsider, so you can naturally see it clearly, but Ling Zhengchu is the scruple of the Zhao family, I am afraid that the princess will analyze the truth to her, but I am afraid that she may not be able to say it. โ€

Ling Haoyue didn't know the truth that Qing Dai said: "The truth of intimacy is understood in this palace, but the Zhao family is the best chess piece in this palace at present, of course, we must play the role of this chess piece well, otherwise there will be no chance in the future." โ€

"But princess, the Zhao family is a felon, and you can't easily see it. Qingdai couldn't help but remind.

"I didn't say that I should go during the day, but at night. Ling Haoyue said with a smile, "Look at what scared you, isn't there still a Tianshu, what are you worried about if you have a Tianshu." โ€

"No need to go. โ€

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and Ling Haoyue hurriedly looked back: "Qi Yan, why are you here?"

His Royal Highness chatted with the princess slowly, and the slave and maid retired. Qing Dai saluted Qi Yan, and then left very interestingly, closing the door very intimately. Your Highness has come to see the princess, so don't disturb your subordinates.

"Qi Yan, what do you mean by what you just said? Could it be that the Zhao clan is dead?" Ling Haoyue frowned slightly.

Qi Yan nodded: "The Zhao family was found before I came, and committed suicide in prison. โ€

"What a good idea. Ling Haoyue clenched her fingers, she really underestimated Old Madam Ling, leaving no gaps at all, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

Qi Yan gently broke her hand: "Good, we have another way, don't hurt yourself." Ling Haoyue's palms had indeed been pinched out of red marks by her fingernails, if she was a little stronger, I was afraid that she would break the skin and bleed.

"I wanted to go to the prison first, so you don't have to go there, but unfortunately Zhao was already dead by the time I arrived. Qi Yan was slightly regretful, he immediately went to the prison after receiving the news, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late.

Ling Haoyue's eyes condensed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there anything abnormal about the Zhao family's corpse?"

But if Zhao has the slightest sign of his killing, then things will be much easier.

Qi Yan sighed lightly and said, "I know what you mean, but the Zhao family did commit suicide, she hanged herself with a belt, and I carefully checked the strangulation marks on her neck, and there was no problem." โ€

Ling Haoyue's expression darkened, and she was silent in an instant, she had been preparing for so long, just to take down the person in one fell swoop, but unfortunately in the end, it fell short.

"Yue'er, don't be discouraged, we'll always catch his fox tail. โ€

Ling Haoyue shook her head and said helplessly: "It's too difficult, I have arranged so much in this mansion, but I haven't caught any Ling Guogong's handle at all, he must have let the Zhao family do everything, he has been behind the scenes, now that the Zhao family is dead, even her henchman Zhao's mother is dead, if you want to find evidence again, it is really difficult to reach the sky." โ€

Speaking of Mother Zhao, Ling Haoyue remembered something: "By the way, Qi Yan, when I was inspecting King Ning's body that day, I found a black mole on his elbow, is this King Ning since he was a child?"

"When King Ning rebelled, I was still young, but I never remembered whether I had it since I was a child, I'm afraid only my father knew. Yue'er, why did you suddenly ask this?" Qi Yanhu looked at Ling Haoyue suspiciously, the empty hole may not be windless, Ling Haoyue must have a source for asking this.

"I've seen the same black mole on a person, in the same location. โ€

Qi Yan's expression changed slightly.

"I'm not sure, I've already asked Qingdai to check, but I'm not too sure if there is a connection between the two. โ€

"If that's what you say, then it's not easy. Qi Yan thoughtfully.

"Who's the other one?" Qi Yan asked, he might have to look it up for himself.

"The man's name is Zhao Wu, and he is Zhao's mother's nephew, but now it is said that he is dead in prison, and his wife and children have disappeared. Ling Haoyue bit her lips lightly, how strange this matter is, there seems to be an inextricable relationship in it.

"Maybe what you said is true, King Ning can bounce under the nose of my father, he is definitely not a simple person, he was caught so easily, he is too faceless. โ€

Ling Haoyue looked at him and said with a light smile: "I thought you would be very excited to hear this news, and then immediately run out to find out." โ€

As a result, Qi Yan's performance seemed to be a little expected, which made Ling Haoyue couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"Don't you think it's better for General Wei to deal with King Ning's affairs, if I'm too excited, I'm afraid that some people will charge me again. "Of course, this person is worthy of Emperor Xiqin and Wen Mohan.

"When I saw Princess Hua'an a few days ago, she said that you are very busy, so I preconceived that you were eager to find out the truth of the matter. Ling Haoyue smiled, it seemed that she had thought about it, Qi Yan's temperament had always been like this, and this matter had not become his worry at all.

Qi Yan stroked her hair and said with a smile: "I'm very busy, I'm busy preparing for the dowry, marrying the peerless Princess Haoyue, this dowry can't be sloppy." โ€

"You...... You're going to make fun of me. Ling Haoyue was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to bury her face in the quilt.

Qi Yan gently took her into his arms and said with a low smile: "Yue'er, you can't be so shy, you are so shy now, if it is the night of the candles in the cave room, wouldn't you be ......?"

Ling Haoyue directly raised her hand, covered his mouth, and glanced at him: "Tuanzi is here, don't talk nonsense." "Put your hand on your belly, there's a little ball here.

Qi Yan put his hand over her hand, and under the palm of his hand was his lover, and their group, and his handsome face was instantly full of smiles, happiness was probably like this.

"The dumplings are all there, and the lady is still shy. A man teased.

Ling Haoyue's face turned even redder, although she couldn't see it, the burning sensation on her face was indeed so clear.

"You still say ......"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Qi Yan hurriedly closed his mouth, just stop in moderation, and if he continues, I'm afraid that Yue'er will be really angry. Hurriedly changed the topic: "Yue'er, although the Zhao family is dead, it is not impossible to reveal the true face of Ling Guogong. โ€

Ling Haoyue tilted her head to look at him, puzzled.

"Lord Cui has obviously begun to suspect Ling Guogong, this is obviously not enough, how can we not let more people be suspicious of him, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted, then people's eyes will not help but stare at him, in front of everyone, as long as he has any abnormal movements, it will be undoubtedly revealed. โ€ใ€

Ling Haoyue suddenly realized at this time, and said in surprise: "You are right, a woman from the Zhao family spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy murder, Ling Guogong, who is a husband, doesn't know at all, even if it can't be proved that he is not involved, then he must also know." โ€

"In the past, most of the generals in southern Xinjiang were good friends with my father, and once they learned the news, they would not sit idly by. The Zhao family has subdued the law, and Ling Guogong, the pillow person, cannot easily get rid of suspicion. A cold light flashed in Ling Haoyue's eyes, even if it was an old fox, she would definitely grab his tail.

"Yue'er, now you have to be extra careful in the Ling Guo Mansion, Ling Guo Gong and Old Lady Ling are not good at stubble, you must not be alone in the future, starting tomorrow night, Xiao Yao will sleep in the same room with you. โ€

Ling Haoyue nodded: "Well, I listen to you, I will protect myself and his." He touched his belly lovingly.

Zhao's affairs can have a lot of disputes in the court, a small duchess, actually bought and killed the princess of the dynasty, and at that time the horse was on the way to southern Xinjiang to take over, when there was a change in southern Xinjiang, so that Ling would hurry to the border, if it was not for the automatic elimination of the riots in southern Xinjiang later, then maybe what would become of southern Xinjiang now. In the recital of the imperial historian, this matter was said to be wild, and in the end, it was all the same meaning, as a husband, Ling Guogong actually connived at his wife to do such a thing that was harmful to the interests of Western Qin, and Ling Guogong could not escape punishment.

Under the verbal criticism of the officials, Ling Guogong felt a grievance in his heart, but he couldn't say these officials, so he could only defend himself vigorously, he didn't know it, it was completely done by the poisonous woman of the Zhao family......

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know anything about this matter, and he didn't know that the Zhao family actually did such a thing, and the minister failed to manage the internal affairs of the mansion, please punish Your Majesty. โ€

As soon as Clinker's words came out, a doctor of the imperial historian immediately came out to object: "Ling Guogong is going to turn a big thing into a small thing,"
