CHAPTER XXVI

The secret letter is her report on the matter of investigating the spruce, she has been looking for someone to investigate the death of the spruce since she came back, and the sudden death of the emperor is not that no one came out to suspect, but most of them were suppressed by the tyranny of the eldest prince.

If the death of the former emperor was really just an accident, why were the nineteen dancing girls and fourteen folk cooks, plus a total of thirty-three lives, mutilated and hastily hidden in the cold palace to be discovered.

She is investigating, not only to find out the death of Spruce, but also to seek justice for the thirty-three lives.

"Do you know why your mother didn't return to the temple for a long time?" General Ling sat in the right position, and his words were fierce.

"You have loved to argue with others since you were a child, and you have to do justice when you encounter injustice, when I sold my old face and sent you to Linya Villa, you still don't understand why?"

"Why? Back then, my father clearly investigated the cause of death of the 33 lives, why didn't he continue to investigate; Since my father mentioned Linya Villa, I asked my father if he really won the battle of Shalang City? Ling Yue Yan was righteous, she wanted to have a good talk with her father since she came back, but she didn't expect it to be such a confrontation tonight.

General Ling didn't expect Ling Yueyan to suddenly mention the battle of Shalang City, his expression was slightly moved, but he was still majestic.

"I don't care what rumors you hear, Ling Yueyan, let me tell you, the death of Spruce is not allowed to be investigated by me again!" General Ling was a rare murderer of Ling Yueyan.

But she was not afraid, and even stood up from the ground: "Why can't you check, father, isn't your heart bad?" Don't you dream at night that the thirty-three souls of the dead confide in you their grievances? ”

"Ling Yueyan!" General Ling slammed the table heavily, and Uncle Zhang, the housekeeper outside, noticed that something was serious, and hurriedly called Ling Xian, who was guarding Aunt Mo's rescue.

"Not only the thirty-three lives that died, but also all the palace people who accompanied the emperor that night, why didn't anyone say anything about it?" General Ling also blushed angrily and pointed at Ling Yueyan.

"The fastest person to get the news after the death of the first emperor is the eldest prince who is now in prison, but it is the second prince Junce who gets the throne, do you want to check it? Brave the Ling family's two hundred and thirty-four lives to investigate? ”

She thought a lot that she couldn't understand what her father was saying at the moment, but as a Jiangmen woman, she had been exposed to the deceit of officialdom since she was a child, and she really knew too well what her father meant by saying these words at this time.

Why did so many people die and no one investigates, even if the eldest prince doesn't check when he is in charge of the government, what about the second prince, the second prince who has already sat on the throne seems to have no idea that someone died when the first emperor died, don't you really know, how can you really not know, so many people died in the palace overnight, how can no one know, what about Brother Ye Zheng? Does Brother Ye Zheng know?

General Ling saw that Ling Yueyan had calmed down a little, so he continued: "Half a year ago, the second prince, who had not yet taken office, came to the mansion once, and the queue for gifts lined up for two streets, saying that it had startled your carriage and apologized to you. ”

No one told her about this, Ling Yueyan looked at his father puzzled, waiting to hear what he said next.

"After succeeding to the throne, he mentioned you many times in the court, he only has two side concubines in the harem, and there is no queen yet, anyone with a discerning eye can see why you can't see it?" General Ling said.

Suddenly, a basin of cold water woke Ling Yueyan up, and she finally understood why her mother used her father's official seal to write that letter to her, why the letter deliberately mentioned that she had not yet arrived, who had read the letter, and why her mother had not returned to the temple for a long time.

During these days, Concubine Hu handed her an invitation post, and even the Queen Mother also came in person and deliberately mentioned her mother, so it is so, only when the mother comes back, the marriage is justified enough, and the mother does not return for a day, Junce will not rashly mention it, but the mother will come back after all, at least on her birthday in a few days, she will have to come back.

Scold! It's really ironic, I think I'm smart and peerless, I swagger all day long, and I haven't even noticed that the catastrophe is coming, no wonder Concubine Le frequently showed her goodwill at the winter banquet, and the sound of my sister was more and more creepy when I thought about it at this time.

"But he obviously knows that I only have Brother Ye Zheng in my eyes." Ling Yue Yan said.

General Ling sneered, with sarcasm in his laughter, not sarcastic Ling Yueyan, but sarcastic himself.

"You are my daughter of Ling Mu, whoever marries you is equivalent to owning the entire Ling family's army, and he will watch the military power fall into the hands of others?"

Ling Yueyan was puzzled: "But that's his own brother." ”

After saying it, I laughed, what about my brother, in the letter from Haoyu to her, the one killed by the emperor of Wuai was still his own son.

Power is really a thing that can make people lose their feelings, and it is extremely scary.

"Father, I can promise you not to investigate the death of the sixth senior sister again, but you also have to answer me a question." Ling Yue Yan said.

General Ling sat back in his chair, his eyes were red, and he didn't know if he was angry or how he was red.

Ling Yueyan asked, "In the battle of Shalang City, have you won the master?" ”

"Does it matter?" General Ling blurted out.

Does it matter? Her father asked her if it mattered if she won or lost that battle. She smiled, doesn't it matter? Before his death, the master was still thinking about winning or losing that time, is it important to exchange it for a sentence from my father?

Haoyu said in the letter, no matter how the battle is bound to lose, no matter whether the master wins or loses, the master has to die, but there is a way to die if he wins, and there is a way to die if he loses, the royal family fight in Wuai Kingdom, the prince and his father grabbed the throne, and the prince left a sentence before being given poisoned wine, saying that General Haoyong is the most powerful courtier in Wuai Country, and hopes that his father can always be gracious.

It was such a sentence that made the high-ranking emperor suspect the most loyal general to the country, so he gave a holy decree to Shi Niang's midwife, if the victory of Shalang City is over, the big and small will die together, and if they are defeated, the small one will live.

In the eyes of the midwife, the battle was lost, so Haoyu was able to survive, maybe the master has always insisted that he did not lose, which chilled Haoyu's heart, or maybe Haoyu would rather die than learn to condense empty steps in Guling Peak for three years, and was driven down the mountain by the master, anyway, in the end, the master did not get Haoyu's forgiveness until he died.

"Father, you have always been the greatest hero in my heart, but to this day, I am beginning to hesitate whether that hero used despicable means to win a game that should have been lost..."

Before he finished speaking, at the same time as his father slapped him down, the door of the study was pushed open by Ling Xian, and Brother Ye Zheng stood behind him.

She didn't know when they were outside, such an embarrassing picture had been seen twice by Brother Ye Zheng today, but it didn't seem to matter, Ling Mu's daughter, who would dare to marry.

Ling Yueyan fled there with red eyes, the wounds on his hands were also red as if blood was coming out, Jun Yezheng frowned and kept looking at Ling Yueyan's figure until it disappeared.

"How could the third prince come to the house late at night?" General Ling stepped forward and saluted.

Ling Xian helped: "The injured man is the prince's secret guard, named Qian Mo. ”

Why did the prince's secret guard appear there, it seemed that everyone had questions in their hearts, but no one asked, Ling Xian was also surprised for a while when he saw the third prince appear in the mansion, he didn't expect the dignified prince to be so worried about his secret guard.

Jun Yezheng walked into the study, his eyes wandered over the place where Ling Yueyan had knelt just now, and walked to the bookcase, which happened to be the frontier defense map.

"Since you're here, let's talk about this border change of defense."

"Miss, you know what? The person who saved you is the secret guard of the Three Princes! I took a look, and guess who he was? Xiao Qi said while carefully medicating Ling Yueyan.

"Isn't it Brother Ye Zheng's secret guard?" Ling Yueyan was a little absent-minded, but he also heard what Xiao Box said, told her that it was Brother Ye Zheng's secret guard and asked her to guess who it was, wasn't it a contradiction?

The little box was mysterious, and he applied all the ointment to the wound before saying, "It's the guard!" It's the guard guarding the back door every time we secretly buy the food box of the third prince! ”

It's him?! Ling Yueyan didn't expect that in fact, when she saw the clothes on the guard, she knew that he was Brother Ye Zhengge's person, but she didn't see her face clearly when it was dark outside, and she didn't expect that the guards at the back door in Brother Ye Zheng's mansion could be secret guards.

The small box was still chattering on the side, but Ling Yueyan couldn't listen to a word, since she was a child, this was the first time her father hit her, her face didn't hurt, but her heart hurt.

The more angry her father was, the more it showed that there was something wrong with the battle of Shalang City, she was not struggling with who won that battle, she was asking for an explanation for the master, she couldn't let the master lose his wife and lose his honor.

She went to the window and saw a few people whispering something there, so she called someone to come and talk.

"What are you talking about?" She vaguely heard Brother Ye Zheng's name.

The maid watered the flowers in the yard next door, and many flowers in the backyard grew on the walls, so she often had to take the escalator to water the flowers.

She said that she saw that Brother Ye Zheng was very anxious to climb the back wall of the General's Mansion, and arrested a subordinate and asked if someone in the mansion was injured.

The subordinate happened to come back from the change of guard, so he naturally saw Ling Yueyan and the secret guard, and replied that he was indeed injured, and he was still very serious, and he was dying and was being treated, so Ye Zhengge ran towards the courtyard and knocked over many flower pots in the house one after another.

In normal times, Ling Yueyan would definitely ask again carefully, and let the maid describe every action and words of Brother Ye Zheng clearly, but today she is not interested, Brother Ye Zheng is a kind-hearted person, and it is appropriate to take care of his secret guard.

Li Nannan said that she had made a decision, Li Xiaogongzi was still being raised by Miss Li, maybe after tonight's incident, Li Nannan realized that her future life must be with swords and swords, since Miss Li really loves Li Xiaogongzi, she is also relieved.

It was late at night, I was so tired today, Brother Ye Zheng was still talking to her father in the study, but she couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
