Chapter 275: Consequences
Li Wangzhen wanted to tell Li Qi the truth, but he was afraid that exposing himself would cause death, so he tore off the skirt of the inner lining, dipped it in blood and wrote "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky", using the sentence in "The Preface to King Teng's Pavilion" to imply that the murderer is related to Qi Changtian.
Then she took advantage of the chaos to return to the hairpin feast, pretending that nothing had happened. Until the next day, Jiang's mansion was burned, Xilingyue was slandered, and the whereabouts of the prince Li Heng were unknown.
It is precisely for this reason that she insisted on writing to Xiao Yi, not as she said, for fear that Xiao Yi would blame her for not taking good care of her, so that Xilingyue would be unjustly imprisoned. It's because she knows that Xiao Yi has treated the real Jiang Yunyi, and once he comes, the identity of the fake Jiang Yunyi will be revealed, and with Xilingyue's ability to investigate the case, she will definitely be able to find the murderer.
In this way, she Li Wangzhen will be able to get out of this matter, not only take care of Xilingyue, let Xiao Yi owe her a favor again, but also avenge the real Gao family. If Xilingyue hadn't found the real culprit, and Mrs. Gao would continue to get away with it, she wouldn't have offended anyone, and she could continue to be a delicate lady and stay out of the matter silently.
I have to say that in this case, every thought, every step taken, and every clue left by Li Wangzhen were carefully considered. She not only successfully avoided Mrs. Gao's eyes and ears, but also avoided the danger of being exposed, if Xilingyue really became a substitute for the dead ghost in the end, at least in front of her fiancΓ© Xiao Yi, she would be benevolent and righteous, and she would be worthy of it.
Thinking of this, even Li Chengxuan had to admit that Li Wangzhen deserved to be the first talented woman in Pinglu Ziqing, not only wise, but also scheming. In terms of talent and appearance, Xilingyue may still be able to fight with her; But when it comes to family background and scheming, Xilingyue is still too far behind.
It's no wonder that Xiling Yueyue's childhood sweetheart's righteous brother will be snatched away by Li Wangzhen, such a woman, such a means, it doesn't take much effort to rob a man.
Li Chengxuan subconsciously looked at Xiling Yue, but saw that she was still a little puzzled, and was still asking: "But if you want to expose this matter, you can go directly to tell Li Fuxuan, why do you have to go to great lengths and leave so many clues?" β
Li Wangzhen smiled and asked: "If I tell Li Qi directly who the real murderer is, who do you think he will help?" Is it to help me, or to help my fake aunt? β
Xilingyue remembered Li Qi's affection for the fake Mrs. Gao, and finally understood, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Also, he is very likely to shield the fake Mrs. Gao and kill you." β
Li Wangzhen also thought about it, nodded and said: "Li Qi has bad intentions, and his father is loyal to the court, and he is not a person all the way after all. Today, I happened to take this opportunity to make a break with him, and Ziqing and Zhenhai will have nothing to do with each other in the future. She said to Xilingyue, but her eyes swept towards Li Chengxuan, and her intention was self-evident.
Li Chengxuan smiled but did not speak. Ziqing and Zhenhai are good, this matter is well known, otherwise Li Shidao would not have maintained a relationship with Li Qi even though he knew that Mrs. Gao was dead. Now that Li Wangzhen saw that Li Qi's defeat had been revealed, and the imperial court was bound to take Zhenhai, she hurriedly used Mrs. Gao's death to make a fuss, deliberately dissociated herself from Zhenhai, and showed her loyalty to her father in front of him, the prince.
It is really amazing that Li Wangzhen can have such a skill and scheming at such a young age. Li Chengxuan thought like this, looked at Xilingyue again, but found that she was full of emotion and guilt, and said earnestly: "Li Niangzi, I was too narrow-minded before, I didn't expect you to have such wisdom!" That...... That day in the dungeon, I said something heavy to you, I was really ...... You've helped me so much, and I'm ......."
Xiling Yue was incoherent because of shame, and finally simply stopped talking. Li Wangzhen felt very surprised and ridiculous, and couldn't help but look at Li Chengxuan, seeing that he was also smiling, as if he had seen through all his thoughts.
Li Wangzhen didn't want to have no reason to live, so he replied lightly: "You don't have to thank me, I'm not helping you, I'm for myself." β
Xi Lingyue thought that this was her polite words, and felt even more guilty, thinking silently in her heart that she would no longer have the face to compete with her for Brother Yi.
Li Chengxuan saw her expression in his eyes and said coldly: "Chang'an is a good place to heal emotional wounds. β
Xiling Yue looked at him in surprise: "Lord Wang, I have wanted to ask for a long time, do you know how to read minds?" β
Li Chengxuan raised his hand again to flick her forehead: "Just your little bit of careful thinking is written on your face, and you still need mind reading?" β
"They all said that you can't hit my forehead, I have dignity!" Xiling Yue angrily reprimanded.
Li Chengxuan pretended to be displeased: "Do you know the consequences of resisting this king?" β
"The consequences?"
"If you rebel against this king, this king will be angry, and once you get angry, you will not overturn the case for your stepfather, let alone let him become an imperial merchant again."
When Xilingyue heard this, she was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and she slapped her palms and realized: "Yes, you can clear up the grievances of my father-in-law, why didn't I think of it!" She turned her head to look at Li Wangzhen again, and said stunned, "I still have to worry about this matter......
From beginning to end, Li Wangzhen listened to the words exchanged between the two, bowed his head and smiled ambiguously.
Li Chengxuan didn't explain anything, and asked again calmly: "How?" Do you want to follow me into Beijing and overturn the case for your father-in-law? β
Xilingyue hesitated: "Do I have to enter Beijing?" Can't you call the shots? β
Li Chengxuan's face did not change: "If you don't enter Beijing, who will go to Dali Temple to show grievances?" The king is not clear. β
"However, I can't cope with Zhenhai, Chang'an ......" Xilingyue still couldn't make up her mind, thought about it and thought about it, and waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll find another way......"
"Yue'er." Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded and interrupted her words.
Xi Lingyue, Li Chengxuan, and Li Wangzhen followed the sound, and saw a young man in white standing next to the stairs on the second floor, looking over expressionlessly.
He has a pair of indifferent eyes like flowing clouds, his eyebrows are as sharp as wind and thunder, the bridge of his nose is high, his thin lips are lightly pursed, his skin is as white as frost, and his clothes are whiter than snow.
Just looking at his face, it seems that he can see through the rising sun and the moon, the rain, snow, frost and sunshine, and see through the magic of the creator.
And his temperament is even more indescribable, saying that he is Yunwen, but his eyebrows are gathering wind and clouds, and he is cold and flying stars; said that he was martial, but he was like a dream. Several contradictory feelings were so blended in him, as if a layer of mist was hanging in front of him, making people want to peel aside and find out.
He and Li Chengxuan are two completely different men, he is indifferent and cold, like a heavenly being; The latter is proud and noble, and it belongs to the fireworks and red dust.
And Li Wangzhen was born in gold and jade, and he had already seen the ultimate in the wealth of the world, so he was obsessed with the transcendence of heavenly people, and wanted to enter his heart to understand this mysterious man - Xiao Yi, the word is clear, the heir of the Shu Jin family "Jinxiuzhuang", the seventh generation of the "Medicine King" Sun Simiao, and the brother-in-law of Xiling Yue's childhood sweetheart.
