Listening to Aunt Yinglan's words, Zhao Ling's eyebrows were twisted together, he knew that he was good-looking, but he was really not happy at all when such words were said by such an old minion.

Yunxiao was also very unhappy that this old pious woman said such a thing, so she stepped forward and kicked Aunt Yinglan again, and scolded angrily: "What are you doing with so much nonsense, get to the point!" ”

Aunt Yinglan almost rolled her eyes when she was kicked by the clouds, and after covering her heart and coughing fiercely a few times, she obediently continued.

"After the old slave knew the thoughts of the concubine, he also paid attention to the Ling Wangfu; His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a deep affection for the Crown Princess, the more you love the Crown Princess, the more jealous and hateful Zhou Guifei becomes, it just so happened that at this time, the abolished queen met an old man in the palace, the old man covered his body with a cloak all day long, and his face was almost never shown in front of outsiders; One day, the old slave listened to the palace people who were waiting in the palace whispering in private, saying that the man who didn't know his name was very terrifying, obviously a face was born with the appearance of a young man, but in addition to the face, the rest of the exposed skin was withered like an old man; After hearing these discussions, the old slave paid more attention to this person, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the old slave to know his secret, and at the same time to know the secrets of the crown princess. ”

Zhao Ling looked at Aunt Yinglan who was leaning against the wall with a sad expression, and said, "That person is Zhuo Lang, the national teacher of Northern Mongolia, who colluded with the abolition of His Royal Highness's mother and killed His Royal Highness many years ago, which can be described as a lot of evil. ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, Aunt Yinglan didn't react much, and said: "The old slave doesn't know his true identity, but he knows that his relationship with the abolished queen is very strange, and the two seem to have reached an agreement for some purpose, but they don't trust each other, which looks quite funny; After the old slave knew the secret of the crown princess, he did not tell it to others, because the old slave knew that this secret was the killer of the old slave, and the old slave must use it in the most critical place. ”

"Soon after, the matter of killing the king after the abolition was revealed, and the entire Jiang family was overturned, and the old slave knew that if the old slave did not want to leave this palace at this time, I am afraid that he would never be able to leave it in the future; At this time, the old slave thought of Zhou Guifei, the concubine Niangniang, she is quite obsessed with His Royal Highness the Prince, and naturally she will hate the Crown Princess who is loved by Your Royal Highness; As long as the old slave exchanges the princess's secret, he will definitely get the result he wants from Zhou Guifei. So the old slave risked his life to come to the Quewei Palace, and saw the concubine Niangniang, she really lived up to the old slave's expectations of her, knowing that the old slave had the handle of the princess in her hand, no matter what the old slave asked, she would respond in one bite; With her help, the old slave successfully left the capital, and she naturally knew everything about the crown princess from the old slave's mouth. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Yinglan raised her head and looked at Zhao Ling, and tried her best to defend herself: "Your Highness, the old slave knows that he has committed an unforgivable mistake, but the old slave also knows that the identity of the crown princess is not trivial, if it is known by others, there will be no peaceful days in Great Wei; So this secret old slave never told anyone else except the concubine Niangniang; When the old slave left the palace, he told himself that as long as he left here, the secret would rot in the old slave's stomach, and he would never tell it to the second person again, and asked His Highness to believe the old slave. ”

Looking at Aunt Yinglan with a sincere expression, Zhao Ling was willing to believe her once, but considering what Zhou Yanran had said to her, he still asked: "Then do you know who Zhou Yanran told the secret of the crown princess?" ”

Aunt Yinglan said: "I don't know about this old slave, but with the old slave's understanding of Zhou Guifei, the secret of the crown princess is so important, she shouldn't talk nonsense; Because she just wants to get Your Highness, as long as she holds this secret, she can make Your Highness helpless, if you tell this secret, it will bring danger to Your Highness, and Concubine Zhou is not stupid, how could she do something to hurt the person she likes? ”

Aunt Yinglan's words are also very reasonable, yes, Zhou Yanran just wants to get him, not hurt him; If she really told Yue'er's secret with great fanfare, there would be countless people who would dare to take the risk to snatch Yue'er, and when the time came, he would naturally confront these people in order to protect Yue'er.

All of them, not to mention Princess Ling, I'm afraid that the entire Great Wei will be involved, she loves him deeply, how can she watch him really be threatened by his life?

Therefore, what Zhou Yanran said at the beginning was probably to coerce him, but in fact, she didn't tell Yue'er's secret to others at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ling immediately turned his head to look at Yunxiao beside him, Yunxiao understood what the master was thinking at the moment, and contacted the news he had obtained during this period of investigation, Yunxiao said: "Your Highness, your subordinates also think that Zhou Guifei should not tell others the secrets of the crown princess, otherwise, with Jingwei's ability, it is impossible not to even investigate a little news." ”

After receiving Yunxiao's reply, Zhao Ling's restless heart finally let go.

He has always been very worried that he will not be able to continue to hide Yue'er's secret, for fear that she will go down the same path as the Tianding clan a hundred years ago, so recently, he has been frightened almost every day, even at night, he has to hold her firmly in his arms to sleep.

Now, knowing that what Zhou Yanran said at the beginning was just deceiving him, he did not have the anger after being deceived at all, but poured out of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, no matter how crazy that woman is, she still has a trace of sanity, otherwise, he will never forgive her in this life.

Zhao Ling walked out of the darkroom with Yunxiao, looked at the rickety and weak figure in the darkroom, and said, "Find a way to make him die easily and tell her to go on the road." ”

Yunxiao knew that His Royal Highness had always been true to his word, and since he had promised Aunt Yinglan, he would naturally not break his trust with her.

So when he heard this order, he was not much surprised, and after holding his fists and receiving the order, he walked into the darkroom.

Zhao Ling didn't look back, left the darkroom and walked directly towards the front yard where the study was located.

He knew that the reason why Aunt Yinglan was so cooperative now was that in addition to really wanting an easy way to die, she also wanted to arouse his pity; After all, people who come out of a place like the harem always have more eyes than normal people.

But this time, he would never easily forgive this old minion who dared to betray Chu Xingyue's secret, if it wasn't for her talking, how could Zhou Yanran make waves with this secret? will not let Chu He kill people when he is forced to do so.

Therefore, the cause of the whole thing is because of this old slave who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and since he knows, he will naturally not be merciful to her.

……

After Xiao Gang entered the palace, according to Zhao Ling's explanation, he called all the people who witnessed the death of Zhou Guifei together for a lecture, and after ensuring that no one dared to chew the root of his tongue behind his back, this was a sigh of relief.

But, after all, the palace belongs to the territory of Emperor Showa, and whoever makes any movement in the palace will be known by Emperor Showa as soon as possible.

Right now, he knew what Xiao Gang had done, and an indifferent smile appeared on his face: "It seems that Ling Er has made up his mind to save Chu He, and he will take action so soon." ”

Fusheng stood respectfully on the side of the dragon bed, looking at Emperor Showa who had just woken up and seemed to be in good spirits, with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been vigorous and resolute, I heard that he has met Chu Shizi in the prison, and also stopped His Royal Highness King Heng's nonsense, and the old slave also heard that Lord Luo entered the palace and went to the Quewei Palace to re-examine Zhou Guifei's body; It's just that right now, the body of the concubine has been sent to the Zhou family by the old slave, and Lord Luo is afraid that he will be in vain. ”

Emperor Showa had a serious expression on his face when he heard Fusheng say the last sentence, "You said, Luo Cheng entered the palace to inspect Yan'er's body?" ”

"Yes, this news was reported by the old slave himself from the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace gate, and it will not be fake. Your Majesty, what's wrong? ”

Emperor Showa said: "Whether it is Ling'er or Heng'er's trouble, I am not worried, I am the only one who is not sure about this Luo Cheng." ”

Fusheng thought about Emperor Showa's words and said, "Although Lord Luo was born into a famous family, he has only stayed in the Criminal Department over the years, and he has only been the head of a small Criminal Department, so he should not have any great talents, and he will not spoil Your Majesty's plan." ”

"You're saying that too soon."

Emperor Showa glanced at Fusheng and said: "Luo Cheng was a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wude, and he was still in the top three, he was only nineteen years old at that time, and he could learn like this at such an age, so it can be seen that this person will definitely not be a mediocre talent; Although Luo Mansion has been presided over by Luo Cheng's brother over the years, who doesn't know that this Luo Second Master is not to be underestimated; It's just because he is the second son of Yan that he is not qualified to be the head of the Luo family, so he has lived under the aura of his brother over the years, but assuming that if the Luo Mansion was handed over to him from the beginning, I am afraid that the reputation and status of the Luo family in the capital will only be even louder than now. ”

"Ling Er is a smart child, he knew from the beginning that Luo Cheng was a real talent, so he didn't order anyone and ordered him to help; In addition, Luo Cheng is an upright and meticulous character, if he really discovers something, maybe he will really get in my way. ”

Hearing Emperor Showa say this, Fusheng began to get nervous: "Then what should I do?" Do you need some hands and feet from the old slave? ”

"How? Is there a way to prevent Luo Cheng from interfering in this matter? Don't forget, if we do something at this time, wouldn't it be telling Ling Er that Zhou Yanran's death is really boring? That's it, send someone to keep an eye on Luo Cheng, and his every move can't be let go; Now that Zhou Yanran's body is not in the palace, find someone to tell him and ask him to go to Zhou's mansion to have a look; I want to see how great his ability really is, and whether he can really see through my arrangement at a glance. ”
