Lin Qing turned his head suddenly, but saw that it was Jiang Shao standing behind him and looking at him coldly.

"See you again." Today, he was still wearing a black dress, and the words he uttered with an expressionless face made people feel chills when they heard it.

Lin Qing smiled awkwardly, and bowed slightly towards Jiang Shao: "Yes, we met again." ”

To be honest, Lin Qing and Jiang Shao met not long ago, and as Lu Chengxuan's personal guard, the number of times Jiang Shao came and went in and out of the Three Kings' Mansion could not be described as frequent. But Lin Qing had never had such a strange feeling today, she always felt that Jiang Shao in front of her seemed to be a little different from him usually, but she couldn't tell what was different.

"You've been ...... lately It's best to be careful. Jiang Shao still didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, but his tone seemed to be mixed with a trace of contradiction and entanglement, and he seemed to have made up his mind to say such a sentence to Lin Qing.

Although Lin Qing didn't dare to say that he knew Jiang Shao very well, he was also sure that Jiang Shao was a person who didn't like to say useless things. Today he suddenly told her to be careful recently, there must be some reason why Lin Qing didn't know.

What do you mean by that? Why am I—"

Jiang Shao hurriedly interrupted Lin Qing's explanation: "The prince is already investigating Tingfang's affairs, if you don't stop it, I won't be able to protect you at that time." ”

After leaving such a sentence without a beginning or an end, Jiang Shao walked away quickly, leaving Lin Qing to stand in place and look at the direction he left in a daze. Jiang Shao's words seemed to mean that she was the murderer of Ting Fang, which made Lin Qing suddenly angry, could it be that in his eyes, she Lin Qing was a cold-blooded and ruthless executioner?

Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Shao expressed his distrust of her as early as when he was in Muhe Town. It's just that she and Jiang Shao were neither enemies nor friends at that time, so she didn't take his opinion too seriously. But who knew that Jiang Shao would sacrifice his life to save her without warning under the hands of Jiang Shangui, so that he himself almost lost his life. Although Jiang Shao said goodbye when he was in Fengcheng, Lin Qing had already classified him as a friend in his heart.

Now it seems that this friend may have been just wishful thinking on her part! Lin Qing thought like this, and felt a little sentimental in his heart.

……

"Ah Shao, I heard that Fu Bo handed over the task of investigating the cause of Tingfang's death to you, what do you think about this case?" Lu Chengxuan walked on the gravel road in the Three Kings' Mansion, and behind him was Jiang Shao, who lowered his head as if he was contemplating.

After waiting for a long time but not hearing Jiang Shao's answer, Lu Chengxuan couldn't help but raise his voice: "Ah Shao? ”

"Huh?" Jiang Shao's eyes were full of doubts, indicating that he had not listened to Lu Chengxuan's words.

Lu Chengxuan was not annoyed, he stopped and said the words that Shi Cai asked again. But he couldn't figure it out a little, Ah Shao was always very focused when he was in front of him, why was he distracted today?

"The subordinates should be damned, the subordinates think ...... Tingfang's death should have nothing to do with others. Jiang Shao said in a deep voice.

Lu Chengxuan glanced at Jiang Shao's face as if unintentionally, and did not continue to ask, only replied in a low voice: "I see." ”

A master and a servant stood on the gravel road, looking at each other but silent. Such a scene has not occurred since Lu Chengxuan and Jiang Shao met, so both of them seem a little unnatural.

"By the way, Ah Shao, how is the matter of the edict investigated?"

"The spy planted in Muhe Town reported that Zhao Mingsong had left Muhe Town, and it was expected to arrive in the capital in the near future."

"Are you sure the edict is in his hands?" Lu Chengxuan asked anxiously.

The subordinates thought that this news was absolutely reliable, and before the death of the emperor, the former prime minister Zhao Huai was summoned to the palace to meet him, and then Zhao Huai was beheaded for treason with the enemy, and the court was speculating that the emperor handed over the edict to Zhao Huai. Now that Zhao Huai is dead, as his righteous son, Zhao Mingsong is the most likely to hold the edict in his hands. Jiang Shao calmly analyzed.

Lu Chengxuan nodded involuntarily, he didn't deny Jiang Shao's analysis, but he had another guess in his heart.

"Zhao Huai's family, in addition to his son Zhao Mingsong, there is also a Zhao Muxi. In terms of intimacy, Zhao Muxi is Zhao Huai's own daughter, but Zhao Mingsong is his adopted son, will it be possible, the edict is actually not in the hands of Zhao Mingsong as the world speculates, but in the hands of Zhao Muxi? ”

After listening to Lu Chengxuan's words, Jiang Shao's first reaction was to think of Lin Qing, "Could it be that the prince left Miss Lin in the mansion for the emperor's legacy?" ”

Lu Chengxuan chuckled and said: "This is only one of the reasons, if she has the edict in her hand, I will coax her to hand over the edict to me obediently, if she does not have the edict in her hand, I will coax her to deceive the edict from Zhao Mingsong's hands." ”

"You...... Are you lying to her? Jiang Shao's face turned white involuntarily, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Lu Chengxuan, "Isn't she your most beloved woman?" Why ......"

Lu Chengxuan's tone was quite meaningless: "My most beloved woman is Ah Fan, but she is not." ”

"This is impossible, doesn't she have a birthmark on Zhao Muxi's body? You found out about this matter personally, why do you say that she is not Zhao Muxi? ”

Jiang Shao felt that his brain was no longer enough, although he had many doubts about her identity when Lin Qing first entered the Three Princes' Mansion, and was even very sure that Lin Qing was approaching Lu Chengxuan with ulterior motives. But with the passage of time, Lu Chengxuan became better and better to her, and even brought her directly into the palace, coupled with the occurrence of a birthmark incident, Jiang Shao almost determined that Lin Qing was Zhao Muxi, whom Lu Chengxuan had been looking for for many years.

But now Lu Chengxuan personally told him that Lin Qing was not Zhao Muxi, which made Jiang Shao feel very confused.

"I didn't believe her as soon as I entered the Three Princes' Mansion, so I designed someone to tie up An'er, so that she would come to me for help when she was desperate, and then she would have a good impression of me, and at the same time she would not understand why I was good to her. I then arranged for my subordinates to pretend to be assassins to enter the house, and I decided that I would sacrifice my life to save her, but she took the initiative to block the sword for me. The birthmark was just that I happened to see her on her arm, so I lied to her that Ah Fan also had it on her, so that she could believe that she was Ah Fan. Seeing Jiang Shao's doubts, Lu Chengxuan explained patiently.

"You mean, you don't know if Zhao Muxi has a birthmark on his body? What if Zhao Muxi really has a birthmark on her body, what if she is really Zhao Muxi? If you lie to her like this, how will you face her in the future? And, why do you arrange so much and I don't know anything? Jiang Shao's tone was a little hurried, which was very inconsistent with his usual calm image.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengxuan didn't reveal any news to him at all! Jiang Shao couldn't understand why Lu Chengxuan wanted to hide it from him, the two of them had always been honest with each other. Is the reason why Lu Chengxuan did this because he already has an opinion about himself in his heart?

Jiang Shao's words made Lu Chengxuan ponder for a long time, he really didn't imagine the possibility that Ah Fan also had a birthmark on his body! Originally, he planned to ask A's nurse Tingfang to verify the matter, but he didn't expect Tingfang to be poisoned and died at this time!

"Why didn't I let you know, haven't you figured it out yet? Ah Shao, you already have a love for Lin Qing! If I tell you about this arrangement, how can I be sure that you will disturb my plans by caring too much about her? Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, Ah Shao, I don't believe you can be an exception! ”

Lu Chengxuan's words smashed straight into Jiang Shao's body like a boulder, so that Jiang Shao was almost breathless.
