Bai Zonglin has a son, it is a happy event, and there are rewards from all over the house, and the house is full of joy.

Ji Lingyun and Bai Yanran were left for dinner and went back after lunch. Before leaving, Ji Lingyun promised the Zou clan that he would send people to strictly defend the Bai Mansion to prevent any more assassins from sneaking in to assassinate him.

Bai Yanran looked at Tong'er's innocent appearance, and pulled Su Xin to talk and laugh, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. The power struggle in the palace will affect the innocent people, so why bother to make more unfortunate people in the world.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace, and when I got off the car, I saw Zhu Ling and Xu Quan waiting at the door. Xu Quan saluted the two, and then respectfully invited Ji Lingyun to the prince's mansion to discuss matters.

Zhu Ling saw them and hurriedly greeted them, Su Xin went over to talk to her, and the two little girls chattered and didn't know what to say, so they saw Su Xintu with a happy face.

When the group arrived at Linglong Xiaozhu, they saw a person kneeling at the door from a distance, and when they looked closer, they realized that it was Liu Xing'er, but at this time she no longer had the same charm as before.

The person who was about to cry and run away after Bai Yanran said a few words, but now when he saw Bai Yanran, he seemed to see a life-saving straw, and he rushed over and knelt at Bai Yanran's feet and cried: "The princess forgives her sins, it's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's maid's wishful thinking." also asked the princess to plead in front of the master for the sake of the slave and maid serving the master for many years.

Pray that the master will not drive the slave and the maid away, and the slave and the maid cannot leave the palace, and the master and the maid cannot leave the master. ”

After crying, he was already hoarse, causing a lot of pointing fingers around him. Shu Yue's face was no better than Liu Xing'er's, and when she saw Liu Xing'er like this, she didn't know what was going on.

But she couldn't figure out what was negligent anyway, obviously it was a logical thing in her previous life, but now why it is the opposite end.

Bai Yanran was indifferent, unmoved, but said indifferently: "You are the prince's attendant, and if you make a mistake, you should be sent by the prince." Now that the prince has made up his mind, and the princess is not easy to interfere with, you should go in peace. ”

Liu Xing'er shook her head desperately, regretting that she was not at the beginning. She didn't give up reaching out to pull Bai Yanran's skirt, and begged: "The slave begs the princess, the master will definitely be able to listen to what the princess says, please ask the princess to save the slave." ”

Bai Yanran slowly lowered her body, leaned over and whispered in Liu Xing'er's ear: "It's not that this princess hasn't given you a chance, if you went to Anhua Temple with this princess in An'an, you would naturally be fine." If there is no cause of the day, how can there be the result of today, you can't complain about others. ”

Liu Xing'er raised her head suddenly, met Bai Yanran's calm and deep gaze, and her heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, and the strength in her hand couldn't help but loosen.

Bai Yanran got up, looked at Shu Yue, who was nervous on the side, and said, "Shu Yue, you have always been good friends with Miss Xing'er. Now that Miss Apricot is leaving, you can go and see her off. ”

Shu Yue's body trembled inexplicably, and Nuo Nuo responded. When Bai Yanran, Su Xin, Zhu Ling and their party entered the Linglong Building, Shu Yue stepped forward to help Liu Xing'er.

Liu Xing'er had lost the courage to make a desperate gamble, as if she had been drained of all her anger, and let Shu Yue help her up and bring her back to Yinfeng Xuan.

After closing the doors and windows, Shu Yue asked Liu Xing'er, "What's going on?" ”

Liu Xing'er seemed to come back to her senses, shook her head, and the tears continued to fall down. Shu Yue hurriedly said: "What happened last night?" I've already planned it out, so how could you mess things up. ”

Shu Yue's complaining tone is very different from her gentle and amiable appearance, but Liu Xing'er is now in a mess in her mind, and she can't care about this.

She sobbed and talked about last night's incident, and at the end, she suddenly grabbed Shu Yue's hand tightly, and said with a frightened expression: "I thought that Zhu Ling's search last night was an accident, but thinking about what the princess said to me, it was clear that she had already known our plan!" ”

Zhu Ling also came back to her senses when she heard this, thinking about Bai Yanran's expression and demeanor, she was not half surprised by Liu Xing'er's words and deeds.

If she really knew about this a long time ago, she didn't stop it in advance, but let Liu Xing'er move, and then exposed Liu Xing'er's true face to face through Zhu Ling's hand, and let the prince deal with it himself.

Such a scheming calculation is indeed terrifying, but what makes Shu Yue more concerned is how she learned about it.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no such person in the palace in the previous life, Shu Yue would have suspected that this person and himself were generally reborn. Of course, she couldn't have imagined that Bai Yanran was the cat beside Ji Lingyun in her previous life.

Now that Liu Xing'er was kicked out of the palace, it was a foregone conclusion, and the only thing she was fortunate about was that she did not confess herself, which made Shu Yue feel relieved.

She patiently comforted Liu Xing'er and made her want to go to her uncle. Ji Lingyun also gave her a generous sum of silver, which was enough for Liu Xing'er to spend the rest of her life, which was already considered benevolent and righteous.

Shu Yue said something badly, but Liu Xing'er was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't listen to anything. Shu Yue was already upset, and when she saw this, she didn't want to delay her efforts any longer, so she left with a perfunctory sentence.

Ji Lingyun followed Xu Quan to the Prince's Mansion, and it was rare that Ji Chengyu was not in the study.

The furnishings in the prince's mansion are as good as their masters, and the rules and regulations make it impossible to find a trace of mistakes, but they also lack the picturesque scenery of King An's mansion.

Ji Chengyu sat by the lake and fished, which reminded Ji Lingyun that he had seen the same situation here, but the person who was there that day was Master Yun'an.

Ji Lingyun stepped forward to pick up the fishing rod and woke up Ji Chengyu who was in deep thought, and saw Ji Lingyun specially look at the empty fishing hook, and smiled at him: "I was also the imperial brother and I was also learning from Master Yun'an's wish to take the bait, I didn't know when I was stolen by the fish and ate the bait." ”

After saying that, he casually threw the fish hook back, looked at Ji Chengyu and said with a smile: "Brother Huang has such a time to lose his mind, isn't he thinking of spring?" "Yunnan

Xu Quan on the side couldn't help laughing, Ji Chengyu shook his head helplessly, and said: "Your temperament is becoming more and more arrogant now, and I have something to say about calling you here today." ”

Ji Lingyun said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I also have something serious to talk to the imperial brother, but the imperial brother should say it first." ”

Ji Chengyu said with a straight face: "Father Fang Cai ordered me to enter the palace, mentioning that Master Song was almost poisoned that day.

You also know that there are night owls around your father, but even so, in the end, your father was unable to find out the origin of the assassin, as if this person really appeared out of thin air, which is really unbelievable. ”

Ji Lingyun was also thoughtful, and said: "The night owl is a top-level secret guard, and the red kite girl next to the imperial brother is from here, and she has always won your appreciation. If there is a source that even the night owl can't find out, it is really too strange. ”

Ji Chengyu said: "The night owl has always been alone, and he can't do it in the end, so my father wants me to secretly investigate this matter."

Today, there are people of unknown origin who can poison the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, who knows if they will sneak into the palace to assassinate in the future, and the father is really difficult to feel at ease. ”

Ji Lingyun narrowed his eyes, and then said, "But what's even more strange is the reason why they assassinated Song Shiyang. Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, Song Shiyang has just escaped Liao Guangtian's pursuit all the way back to Nanyang, and at this time, he will naturally think of Liao Guangtian first as soon as something happens.

This time, Liao Guangtian would be so bold and dare to assassinate the important ministers of the Son of Heaven at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't know what the reason is for this? ”

Ji Chengyu also agreed: "On the day that Bachelor Song returned to Beijing, he entered the palace to face the saint and told his father all the details of Nanyang's actions. If the pursuit along the way is to kill people, then the assassination after returning to Beijing is particularly strange. Unless ......"

Ji Lingyun's eyes flashed, and he continued: "Unless, Master Song actually knows far more than he said. And this matter is what Liao Guangtian really cares about, in order to cover up this matter, he did not hesitate to send people to the capital to do it. ”

Ji Chengyu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then it's necessary for me to go to the Song Mansion." ”

After that, he asked, "Just now you said that there is something serious, but I don't know what it is?" ”

Ji Lingyun smiled meaningfully and said, "It's a shocking secret about Concubine Lan and Ji Sihong, I wonder if the imperial brother is interested in hearing it?" ”

Seeing Ji Chengyu looking at him speechlessly, he no longer sold Guanzi, and told the story of the ancestors and grandsons of the Zou family who met Tong'er Zou as slaves in the White Mansion, and then the whole story after the Zou family was assassinated in Anhua Temple yesterday.

is as calm as Ji Chengyu, and he can't help but be stunned when he hears this. He had always known that Concubine Lan was domineering in the harem, but he didn't want her to be so bold and dare to confuse the royal bloodline.

Ji Chengyu frowned when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak: "Is this Zou really reliable?" Do you know that if this is just a trap, you and I are accused of slandering the concubine and murdering my brother. ”

Ji Lingyun also said: "This matter is indeed only the Zou family's words at present, and there is no other evidence. But it's better to believe that there is something than to believe that it is not, just like the royal brother is fishing with empty bait, maybe there can really be a stupid fish to take the bait? ”

As he was talking, the fishing rod suddenly shook violently, and Xu Quan, who was on the side, quickly propped up the fishing rod, and there was really a fat fish that bit the hook of the empty bait, and Xu Quan was stunned when he saw it.

Ji Lingyun was also stunned for a moment, and then said more firmly: "When we can find out the real princess, it will be clear at a glance whether it is true or false." ”

Seeing Ji Chengyu's intentions, Ji Lingyun then persuaded: "Brother Huang, you can also see your father's preference for Concubine Lan and Ji Sihong's mother and son for so many years. If we can't completely break down Concubine Lan's method, Ji Sihong will always be our henchman.

Now that the opportunity is at hand, I know that there is no urgency. But we can first look for the princess in private, secretly collect evidence, and wait until the evidence is conclusive before presenting it to the emperor. ”

Ji Chengyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is secretly investigated by you, don't be reckless, be careful in everything." ”

When Ji Lingyun returned to King An's Mansion, he saw that Gu Fang was practicing boxing in the courtyard, and his moves were sharp, like a sharp blade out of the sheath. He watched from the sidelines for a moment and couldn't help but applaud.

Gu Fang stopped moving, his gaze swept over Lian Yue to look at Ji Lingyun, and he nodded and was about to turn around and leave.

Ji Lingyun stopped him and said, "Didn't you just want me to see the exercises at the door, why are you leaving now?" ”

Gu Fang did not deny it, and said: "The master has not seen it. ”

Ji Lingyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what?" ”

Gu Fang's gaze swept over Lian Yue again, and he replied, "The subordinates' injuries have healed, and they can follow the master to protect them." Lian Yue is in charge of the duties of guarding the palace, and he should also perform his duties. ”

Only then did Lian Yue understand why the gaze of the commander who came over was so cold, and hurriedly said: "What the ancient commander said is that his subordinates have indeed neglected their duties as guards in the mansion recently, which is indeed inappropriate. ”

Ji Lingyun shook his head with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then don't do things yet." ”

Lian Yue glanced at his boss's face again, and then left with peace of mind. Ji Lingyun also raised his feet and walked towards Linglong Xiaozhu, and said casually: "Don't follow up quickly." ”
