Chapter 22: Fear
"That's why I have to see the prince before I say it." Jin Ling's eyes were tearful and frightened, "My aunt, she is a palace maid...... She told me only about it. Or when she lost her words for a while, saying that I was like a mother, I asked her again and again before she said it. β
Guangzhen's eyes were like torches and did not move.
She didn't say which palace maid it was, nor did she say who that lady was. She only said this one sentence to me and was killed...... I can't think of anyone else who wants to hurt her. My aunt has always been in the country, and there is absolutely no enemy. It's because I'm too curious that I'm hurting her......"
Jin Ling hid her face and wept.
"Don't cry yet!" Guang Zhen said in a good voice, "You made it clear, who is the murderer?" β
Jin Ling wiped her tears: "I don't know who it is." But it must be inseparable from Qi State...... I didn't see anyone either...... I don't have any evidence either...... I only know the few words my aunt said......" Jin Ling looked innocent and confused, "but I always felt that my aunt's death had something to do with what she said." I didn't even dare to say these words to my family......"
Guang Zhen frowned and didn't move, staring at Jin Ling for a moment before saying, "Think about it carefully, who kidnapped you, and what did you look at after that?" β
Jin Ling shook her head, "I was taken away in my sleep, and I haven't been asleep ever since." I didn't wake up until Dr. Tang gave me a drink......"
"Oh?" Guang Zhen looked at Jin Ling again, "Then do you know who kidnapped you?" β
"Lord Shizi!" Jin Ling looked confused, and his expression seemed to be saying that Guang Zhen's words were very inexplicable.
"Then you can see him?"
"The prince is also counted?" Jin Ling became more and more confused, "How can the prince be a murderer......
Guang Zhen was stunned, this girl, he couldn't talk about her, and he couldn't talk if he wanted to.
As for what she said, is it true or false?
"Did your aunt tell me where that lady is?"
Jin Ling shook her head: "I asked, she didn't say anything, just said that when she left Niangniang, Niangniang seemed to be sick, she gave Niangniang to beg for medicine and came back, and she didn't see Niangniang." After that, my aunt wandered alone. She was only seventeen years old at the time..... One person almost starved to death, and was saved by my grandmother just as she was dying......"
"Lord Wang!" Jin Ling hurriedly said, "You said that my aunt didn't commit any serious crime." β
"Nope!" Guang Zhen hurriedly comforted, "How could your aunt commit a crime." β
"But she's dead...... Jin Ling suddenly cried, "Lord Wang, I don't dare to go home." Can I stay here until the killer is found? And can the prince send someone to protect my family? I'm so scared! I watched my aunt be killed. She collapsed without even saying a word! I'm scared ....."
"Good!" Guangzhen nodded, "You will live in the palace." On the Jin family's side, you can rest assured that there are people guarding day and night, until the murderer is ambushed. β
.....
Jin Ling followed Leng Tianlie and didn't come back.
The Jin family waited until it was dark, only to see the maid Rui'er come back alone.
"The girl said that she wanted to cut off relations with the Jin family!" Rui'er cried to Jin Xiang who came up, "And asked me to go back to Jin's house with her." But she went to the inner courtyard of the palace alone, and did not take me with her, so I had to come back. β
"Break off the relationship?" Not only Jin Xiang, but even Jin Xing and the old lady were not calm, "She really said that?" β
"Hmm!" Rui'er nodded, "When she left, the girl also specially explained, let me tell the old lady and the eldest son, she said that only by severing the relationship with the Jin family, her marriage contract with the King of Qi will not count, and the Jin family will not go bankrupt....."
"This kid!" Mrs. Jin's face was sad, "I don't look at when, I pity her aunt's bones." How could she leave at this time! β
"The girl said that my aunt's death may have nothing to do with the Qi country." Rui'er recalled Jin Ling's explanation before leaving, "The girl also said that if someone asks about her marriage contract with King Qi, the master will tell the truth." There is also the prince who already knows that his aunt is not from the Jin family. also said that her aunt's death may have something to do with her life experience. The girl also said that even if the relationship is severed, she will always have the blood of the Jin family in her body, she will always be the daughter of the Jin family, and she will always hope that everyone in the Jin family will be safe, healthy and healthy. β
Listening to Rui'er's words, Jin Xing's face became solemn: "Okay! Did you all hear that? Jiu'er will always be the flesh and blood of our Jin family, no matter what happens in the future, she will be the daughter of our Jin family. β
"This kid ....." Mrs. Jin let out a long sigh, "what is she doing......"
"No matter what she does. As long as she's okay. Jin Xing sighed, "Rui'er, you will go to the palace tomorrow." You have served her since childhood, follow her. And get her some more silver tickets. The child must have been frightened and went to the prince to seek refuge. β
......
It's cool at night.
A room in King Liang's bedroom is warm and fragrant.
"Can you see clearly?" Guang Zhen lay on the bed and hugged the princess and asked softly, "Who do you think she looks like?" β
Guang Zhen sent people to place Jin Ling in a side room in the palace.
After placing Jin Ling, the princess secretly went to see Jin Ling.
"It's too skinny." The princess sighed lightly, "However, the military attachΓ©'s face is somewhat similar. β
"Like whom?" Guang Zhen asked.
"Knowingly asked." The princess yawned and closed her eyes, "It's not that there are people who look the same in this world. Don't be suspicious. How many years have this been......"
"But the lady in her mouth will not really die!" Guang Zhen whispered, "Do you think there is such a possibility, Niangniang arranged for the palace people to fake their deaths and escaped from the palace by themselves." Otherwise, how to explain the self-immolation of the mother. The corpses are all charred, except for the golden phoenix crown as evidence, it cannot be 100% said that it is the mother who died. If Niangniang hadn't died, then it wouldn't be impossible for King Qi to rebel......"
The princess closed her eyes and did not speak.
"You should know. Qi Lin once pursued Niangniang. Guang Zhen leaned into the princess's ear and said, "If he knows that Niangniang is still alive, maybe it is really for Niangniang's ......."
"Didn't you chase it too!" The princess opened her eyes violently, "Do you dream that she is alive?" β
"Look at you!" Guang Zhen hurriedly said, "Where do you want to go." Yu'er is fifteen years old. I have been devoted to you all these years, and the world can be learned! β
"Qi Lin has already died!" The princess said angrily, "It's okay for you to find an excuse and find a normal one!" β
"Don't be angry!" Guang Zhen said in a good voice, "Qi Lin is dead, but doesn't he have a son?" When he dies, his rebellion doesn't necessarily follow! I always feel that Qi Huan is not as unscrupulous as everyone says......"
"I'm sleepy!" The princess was not angry, "If you think that people are rebelling, you will sue you!" Speaking of absurdity, how can the king of Qi compare to the prince......"
"Shh Guang Zhen gritted his teeth and covered the princess's mouth, "Didn't I tell you that this palace has the emperor's eyeliner." β
