Chapter 86: Finally Waiting
The eldest princess's mansion is always so quiet, as if the dark clouds obscured the sunlight hovering in the sky for a long time.
The peony in the peony garden quietly thanked it, adding a bit of desolation to this oppressive tranquility.
The female official Cuigu walked up to the eldest princess of Yongping and reported softly: "Your Highness, the eldest prince Lu is here." β
"Tomorrow will be the second day of the fifth month." Looking at the decaying peony garden, the eldest princess of Yongping muttered, as if she hadn't heard Cuigu's report.
Cui Gu lowered her eyes to hide her grief and did not dare to answer.
"The second day of the fifth month is the day when Ling'er disappeared."
It was also the day when Ling'er was killed and sealed in the wall.
As long as the eldest princess of Yongping thought about it, she burned all of them.
"Your Highness, your condolencesβ"
"There is no way to mourn in this palace!" The eldest princess of Yongping forcefully broke off a broken branch of flowers, covering her face with ice and snow, "As long as you think that the person who really killed Ling'er is at large, how can this palace mourn?" β
"Your Highness, although it was three years late, the two abductors who killed the county lord were finally cut by a thousand knives, and I believe that the real culprit behind the scenes will definitely be found." Cui Gu persuaded softly.
Her Royal Highness, who was once so high-spirited, was a female general who made the rebels and enemies smell bad.
But since the disappearance of the county lord, His Royal Highness's spirit and spirit have collapsed, and with it, there are countless injuries to his body because of the southern and northern wars.
Regarding the female official's consolation, the eldest princess of Yongping just smiled and asked, "Who did you just say?" β
"Master Lu is here."
"It's Lu Xuan, please come over."
The female officer quickly went to pick up the people.
Lu Xuan walked in the peony garden full of broken flowers, and his expression was a little more dignified.
The county lord of Yingyue is not much younger than him, and it was common when he was a child, so he would have thought that it would be such a fate.
Seeing a weak back in the distance, Lu Xuan sighed secretly and quickened his pace.
"Your Highness, Grand Prince Lu has arrived."
Lu Xuan clenched his fists and saluted: "I've seen Your Highness." β
The eldest princess of Yongping turned around and looked at the young man with clear eyebrows and eyes, and her expression softened a little: "You kid, what are you polite to this palace." β
Lu Xuan is very talented in martial arts, and the eldest princess of Yongping cherishes good talents, and once instructed martial arts when he was young.
If you really want to talk about it, the two have the reality of master and apprentice.
However, the eldest princess of Yongping is a princess with real power in her hands, and Chengguo Gong is a minister of the dragon who follows Taizu to fight the world, and the two families should not get too close, so this master-apprentice relationship is deliberately diluted.
But in the heart of the eldest princess of Yongping, it was different for Lu Xuan.
"Is there something wrong?"
"The little nephew has been surrounding Qingya Academy recently, and there has been some progress......
Lu Xuan started from accidentally learning that a woman dressed as a maidservant had talked to Tao Ming, talking about a female corpse that appeared on the Jinshui River a few days ago, and then talking about Caiyun, the flower girl of Yunyu Xiaozhu, and Caiyun's brother who was doing chores in Qingya Academy......
The eldest princess of Yongping listened quietly, and her expression continued to change as the young man spoke slowly and calmly.
"That's it for now." After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he waited for the reaction of the eldest princess of Yongping.
The eldest princess of Yongping clenched her fists hard, and her face was quite calm: "In other words, this brother and sister are likely to be Qi Guo's fine work?" β
"The Caiyun brothers and sisters only admit that it is revenge for the family, and they do not admit that it is a meticulous work carefully cultivated by the Qi State."
The eldest princess of Yongping sneered: "Can a pair of brothers and sisters whose parents died early have such ability? Do they take the Great Wei people for fools? β
Lu Xuan didn't say anything.
Regardless of whether he treats the Great Wei people as fools or not, admitting it is very different from not admitting it, and this is not something he can participate in interfering with.
is the eldest princess of Yongping, because it involves the Qi country, it is impossible to dispose of Caiyun casually.
"Let's go, take me to meet the clouds." The eldest princess of Yongping walked a few steps out, suddenly thought of something, and asked the young man walking beside her, "How did you know that the maid who drowned had found Tao Ming three years ago?" β
Since the abduction couple was caught, the eldest princess's mansion has not relaxed its investigation, but it has broken the clue when Tao Ming is found.
I didn't expect that there were so many calculations behind Tao Ming's death, and to find out these, the maid was obviously the key.
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is thanks to the eldest girl of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. β
The eldest princess of Yongping was stunned, and her face showed surprise: "Miss Feng? β
For Miss Feng, she was particularly impressed.
Her daughter was found because of Miss Feng, and Miss Feng fell into the hands of a kidnapper like Ling'er.
For such a girl, it is almost certain to have a good impression.
I don't want to face this girl, it's true.
Miss Feng is too easy to make her think of Ling'er, and as long as she thinks of Ling'er's tragic death but can't even find the real murderer, she can't help but die.
Now, she suddenly wanted to see Miss Feng again.
"Miss Feng accidentally mentioned this incident when she was chatting with her brother, and her brother remembered that he had accidentally seen that maid go to Tao Ming, which led to the later investigation......" Lu Xuan explained to the eldest princess of Yongping as he could say.
The eldest princess of Yongping listened silently, and looked at the young man with handsome eyebrows and eyes in surprise: "How did Miss Feng know that she had found Tao Ming?" β
Lu Xuan was silent and said honestly: "The little nephew told her." β
"Oh?"
The young man put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and made a casual appearance: "Actually, after the eldest girl Feng escaped from the gangsters, she met the little nephew, and it was the little nephew who took her back to the capital, so we are still familiar with each other." β
The eldest princess of Yongping walked forward, and her tone couldn't hear the emotion: "I haven't heard of this rumor." β
Lu Xuan's expression turned cold: "At that time, the rumors between the second brother and Miss Feng were spreading, and it was difficult to mention them. β
"I see." The eldest princess of Yongping relieved her doubts and said no more, and hurried to the yamen of the criminal department.
On the side of the Criminal Department, Lin Xiao was waiting.
And with the arrival of the eldest princess of Yongping, the left and right attendants of the Criminal Department were all shocked and greeted each other.
At the same time, all the investigations surrounding the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue were written as excerpts, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.
When it comes to Qi State, this is a big deal, and no one dares to hide it.
Even when he went to the palace, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was resentful in his heart: Why are his subordinates so uneasy, what is wrong with him behind his back, and he actually found the head of Beiqi after checking and checking.
Isn't this about poking a hole in the sky!
Facing a group of officials from the Criminal Department who came out to greet her, Princess Yongping got straight to the point: "Where are the people, the palace wants to see them." β
Yang Shilang gave Lin Xiao a look.
Lin Xiao arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, please come with your humble position." β
The heavy cell door was opened, and the eldest princess of Yongping strode in, and soon saw the colorful clouds scarred by the torture.
"You are the Qi girl who harmed Yingyue?"
A cold and hard voice sounded in the dimly lit cell, and Caiyun struggled to open his eyes, and was greeted by a face that looked like a statue of ice.
It's the eldest princess of Yongping!
Caiyun's eyes widened.
