In the palm of the female officer's hand lay a small golden ling.

The eldest princess of Yongping shrank her eyes, took Jin Ling with trembling hands, and rubbed Jin Ling's inner wall with her fingertips.

She knew that there was a full moon carved there, and the carving was rough and completely out of step with the delicacy.

It was engraved by Yingyue herself.

That year, a pair of cats were paid tribute to the foreign land, the red one was rewarded by the emperor to Su Guifei, and the snow-colored one was rewarded to her, and she gave the white cat with different eyes to her daughter as a birthday gift for her tenth birthday.

Yingyue liked it very much, personally braided the red rope, selected Jin Ling, and carved a full moon on the inner wall of Jin Ling, and hung the bell on the neck of the white cat.

The daughter said to her happily: "Mother, with this Jin Ling, others will know that I am the master of Bai Xue at a glance." ”

She smiled and said, "Even if you don't have this Jin Ling, others will know that you are the master of Bai Xue." ”

But then Bai Xue fell ill and died, and her daughter was sad for a long time, so she kept the little Jin Ling with her as a memory.

As soon as she saw it, she knew that this was Jin Ling of Yingyue.

The eldest princess of Yongping held the bell hard, and her lips were pale: "Yes...... Found around the bones? ”

The corners of the female official's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the eldest princess: "Yes." Presumably it was by—"

The female officer found it too difficult.

In the face of her master, she could not bear to say the word "deceased", nor could she bear to say the word "county lord".

But the eldest princess of Yongping was still staring at her closely.

The female officer gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "It was held in the hands of the county lord—"

The eldest princess of Yongping listened in a daze, and the Jin Ling in her palm was like a soldering iron, burning every inch of her skin.

It was a heart-rending pain that I couldn't cry about.

Her Yingyue, her Ling'er, was she afraid that she wouldn't recognize it, so she held Jin Ling until she died?

"Your Highness—" The female official was shocked by the empty eyes of the eldest princess of Yongping.

The eldest princess of Yongping slowly got up and walked out.

The female officer subconsciously stopped.

The eldest princess of Yongping glanced at her with a blank expression: "Yingyue is back, I'm going to see her." ”

"Your Highness—"

"Get out of the way!"

The female officer didn't dare to stop again, and turned away with a white face.

The eldest princess of Yongping took two steps forward, and paused at her feet: "Miss Feng." ”

"The courtiers are here." Feng Cheng responded obediently.

"You go with Hongu."

The noble lady who had been paying attention to this side couldn't help but look at each other as she watched the eldest princess take Feng Cheng away.

"What the hell is going on?" The women were puzzled and looked at Sister Feng Mei.

Those eyes pierced Feng Mei hot and embarrassed, pursed her lips and said nothing.

First, Feng Tao was summoned by the eldest princess for questioning, and then Feng Cheng accompanied the eldest princess to drink tea, and was even taken away by the eldest princess.

What people are most afraid of is comparing themselves with the people around them.

The treatment of sisters in the same house is so different, Feng Mei can't wait that she is not here today.

Feng Tao doesn't like to be stared at all the time, especially those eyes that are full of meaning.

The little girl bent her lips and smiled: "It must be that His Highness wants to keep my eldest sister by his side for a while." ”

The women twitched the corners of their mouths, unable to refute them.

For the time being, the coffin used to collect the bones of the Lord of Yingyue County came in from the back door of the Eldest Princess's Mansion and was parked in the main courtyard of Yingyue County.

The courtyard is lush and spotless, as if the owner has never left.

The eldest princess of Yongping stroked the lid of the black lacquer coffin, and her movements were gentle.

There was also the magistrate who came with him, and when he saw the eldest princess like this, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

The courtyard was terrifyingly quiet, and the hand that was caressing the lid of the coffin suddenly froze and was about to push the lid open.

The female official, who had never left the eldest princess, hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, don't look at it!" ”

The eldest princess of Yongping pushed the female official away.

A big hand reached over and grabbed the hand of the eldest princess of Yongping.

The female officer who was pushed shouted: "Horse-"

Du Nian stared at the eldest princess of Yongping tightly, and her usually gentle voice could not hide her trembling: "Yongping, don't look at it." ”

The eldest princess of Yongping looked at him expressionlessly: "You get out of the way." ”

Du Nian grabbed the cold hand and didn't move, and the corners of his eyes were red: "Ling'er doesn't want you to see her now." ”

"You talk nonsense!" The eldest princess of Yongping shook off Du Nian's hand, "Ling'er must miss me very much!" ”

"Yes, Ling'er misses you very much, but she-"

The eldest princess of Yongping coldly interrupted Du Nian's words: "Du Nian, I understand what you mean. But for me, no matter what Ling'er becomes, she is my daughter. I want to see her, and she wants to see me, and no one has the right to stop her. ”

Du Nian was silent for a moment, and silently stepped aside.

Why didn't he want to see his daughter?

Little by little, the lid of the coffin was pushed open.

Seeing the situation inside the coffin, the eldest princess of Yongping seemed to have been drained of her soul and remained motionless.

She leaned over to give her daughter a hug, but she didn't know how to pick her up.

How so?

The eldest princess of Yongping thought in a daze, and the tears of being late fell.

The passage of time became sluggish in this heavy atmosphere, and the magistrate felt that it was not a way to wait like this, so he tentatively called "Your Highness".

The person being shouted did not respond.

"Mr. Du—"

Du Nian looked at it with red eyes.

"Mr. Du mourns. If there is no other explanation, the lower official will return to the yamen to return to Shangfeng first. ”

Du Nian restrained his emotions of losing his beloved daughter, and said in a deep voice: "Don't spread the news about the little girl for the time being. ”

The magistrate looked at him in surprise.

Du Nian arched his hand: "I'm tired." ”

"Xiaguan understands, Mr. Du can rest assured."

When the official left, only the people from the eldest princess's mansion were left in the courtyard, and Du Nian asked about the details of the female official.

He can't fall, the murderer of Ling'er must be found!

After listening to the female official, Du Nian instructed: "Let the people in the house who know about it take care of their mouths, and arrange for people to stay on the side of Sesame Lane for twelve hours a day." ”

As for the neighbors who saw the coffin coming in and out, they didn't know that it was related to the eldest princess's mansion, and the excitement dispersed in that area.

"You're Miss Feng?"

Before Feng Cheng could answer, the eldest princess of Yongping finally reacted: "Du Nian, the people of the eldest princess's mansion don't need you to arrange." ”

Du Nian smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Ling'er's disappearance, he can't get away with responsibility.

That day, Ling'er was clamoring to go to the academy with him to play, and when a student came to the academy to ask questions, Ling'er felt bored and proposed to walk around.

He thought that there was no danger in the academy and nodded, but he never saw his daughter again.

Yongping resents him, hates him, loves husband and wife into resentments, everything is what he deserves.

The eldest princess of Yongping quickly looked away from Du Nian and looked at Feng Cheng fixedly: "Miss Feng, do you remember the appearance of that pair of men and women?" ”

Feng Cheng saw the longing in a mother's eyes, but he could only shake his head: "At that time, I was trapped in the carriage, I only heard their voices and didn't see them, and I didn't see their appearances. ”

The eyes of the eldest princess of Yongping dimmed, and her deep pupils could not shine a trace of light.

Feng Cheng hesitated for a moment and changed his words: "No, I turned around once when I ran away...... It's just that I was too scared at that time, and I didn't have any impression in my head. ”

Looking back, there is a possibility of remembering.

It is said that more is better than less, but she also has a mother, and she is also a daughter.
