Duanmu Zhu's face was expressionless, and she held a small dagger in her hand, which was stuck in her mother's body at this time.

This was given to her by Duanmu Qing, saying that if Aunt Qin wanted her life, she could use it for self-defense.

Although I was desperate at that time, I still couldn't believe that after all.

She still couldn't believe that her mother would kill her with her own hands, but she found that Duanmu Qing really didn't miscalculate at all.

This woman is really good at it.

"You ......"

"I've never heard that tiger poison doesn't eat children, but I haven't heard that children don't kill their mothers, so I think that in the world, after all, we still have to be ruthless in our children's hearts!

In fact, I really want to know, can your so-called national hatred and family hatred really wipe out your nature as a mother?

But in the face of you, I found that it was superfluous for me to ask this question, and you could tell me without even answering. ”

It was only at this time that Duanmu Zhu's expressionless expression began to shatter, slowly revealing the sadness of his heart dying.

His expression was distorted by pain, and Qin slipped to the ground, but his eyes stayed on Duanmu Zhu's face.

"Rou'er!"

Something skipped in the bottom of my heart, like a feather that pierced the surface of a calm lake.

Rou'er, that was when she was a child, she called her nickname, and later she was Miss, Niangniang......

However, after the wild geese flew away, the lake still had to return to calm.

That soft voice, it's too late.

Blood poured out of her slash, quickly staining her clothes red, and then spreading to the ground.

She watched as she began to struggle, watched the blood flow out of her body, and watched the blood gush out of her mouth.

Watch her life drain little by little.

But, from beginning to end, it's just watching.

"I'm sorry!"

Duanmu Zhu didn't hear these three words, but could see from the shape of her mouth that kept gushing blood.

She watched as her outstretched hand fell to her, as she closed her eyes with struggle.

Then, the man, died.

It was her mother, the one who brought her into this world.

"Mother!"

Tears finally slipped down one by one.

The pain spreads inexorably in the heart.

No matter what happens, since today, you have always been the dearest and dearest person in my heart.

The one that no one can replace.

When the blade stabbed through his body, Duanmu found that it was not as painful as he imagined.

With a little cold feeling, like the hand of death, at this moment, it gave birth to an inexplicable peace of mind.

There is no fear, no resistance, and no unwillingness.

Everything today seems to have gone through a lifetime.

The meaning of life is not in the length of life, but in the bitterness and joy experienced.

And she, after today's events, felt a sense of tiredness from the bottom of her heart.

She was not afraid of the emperor's treatment of her after this incident, nor was she afraid of their resentful eyes when facing her relatives.

It's just that at this moment, life, in her eyes, is really boring.

As she fell, her hand landed on her palm, and a faint warmth came from there.

It's like when she was a child, she led her through the path by the lake of Yongding Houfu.

In such warmth, she could finally close her eyes with peace of mind.

In the lobby, no one spoke, and these two women died here, on the same dagger, in the hands of the same woman.

"Throw them to mass graves!"

The Emperor's voice pulled everyone's thoughts back.

The cold look of the master above made everyone suddenly come back to their senses from the death of this mother and daughter.

"Jun Hao, how did you find this evidence?"

There was no emotion on the emperor's face, and his gaze was very peaceful.

"Actually, Qing'er had found that something was wrong with the Qin family before, but she never figured out what was wrong with her.

It wasn't until this incident happened that we started to investigate her, and we didn't want to, but we found these things. ”

"In other words, the Marquis of Yongding never knew that this Qin clan was a remnant of a distant country?"

Han Lingyan was shocked, and immediately knelt down and said loudly: "The reason why the Qin clan lurks in the Yongding Marquis Mansion is to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, and the Yongding Marquis Mansion still doesn't know her true identity!" ”

The Emperor did not speak, as if to ponder the crux of this.

Han Lingyan didn't dare to get up, and still knelt on the ground.

"You say, how can this Qin clan have such a deep grudge against the Yongding Marquis Mansion? Even to his own daughter? ”

Regarding this, Han Lingyan had no way to answer him, so he had to say: "The key to this, I'm afraid that only the Qin clan himself understands." ”

There was another silence, and the courtiers who were standing not far away had a layer of sweat on their backs on such an April day.

From the morning to the present, there are simply too many things that have happened, too fast and too unbelievable.

If there is one carelessness in the middle, the emperor will be angry, I am afraid that it will be a blood disaster.

"No matter what, the matter about the assassination of the Marquis of Yongding Mansion can be regarded as resolved, but fortunately, no one has been wronged."

With a faint smile on his face, the emperor looked at Han Lingxi.

Although the emperor was smiling, Han Lingyan felt a chill that came out of those eyes.

The emperor, for him, finally stopped acting.

"Yes!" In any case, at this time, since he is smiling, he has to bear it.

"Get up! Thanks to you this time, why are you still kneeling! ”

Han Lingyan hurriedly thanked him and got up.

The others present exhaled at the same time in their hearts.

This matter has finally passed, and looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that he is no longer pursuing it.

Either way, they're safe.

Of course, this is what most people think, but it does not include the few old ministers who have been following.

"It seems to be providential! If it weren't for the haunting of Shiji Town, I might have already disposed of the Yongding Marquis Mansion in a fit of rage.

Explain the things in this world, God is still watching, urging me not to make mistakes, don't you say? Jun Hao? ”

The heart that had just settled down a little suddenly rose again, and Han Lingyan hurriedly knelt down.

Although the emperor asked this to call him a cousin, he had absolutely no taste of intimacy at this time.

The matter of Shiji Town was planned by him, and if Lin Yuyan was confessed at this time, he would definitely die.

However, since the emperor asked him so, it was obvious that he had made a discovery, and if he didn't say it, wouldn't he say that he himself was a god and played with the emperor in the palm of his hand?

This question, no matter how it is answered, is wrong.

This time, he really did too much, so much that it touched the emperor's bottom line and touched his dignity.

"Why did Jun Hao kneel down again?" The emperor's tepid voice made people unable to hear the emotion, but there was a kind of coldness in the ears.

The hearts of the ministers who had just fallen back into their stomachs suddenly hung up at this moment.

Zhao Yuhong's heart tightened slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Han Lingxi, this matter can't really be related to him, right? Does that Qing'er know?

There are many people who are nervous, but there are also happy people here.

For example, Zhao Yufeng.

Being able to quietly rob Chu Chu from his mansion is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Although he knew that after Chu Chu was taken away, he would die soon, but even if he took away a dead person, it was still challenging him.

At this moment, watching this person being questioned by the emperor felt extremely comfortable.

"Father! Erchen is back. ”

A hearty voice rang out, stirring the air through the entire lobby.

Who's this?

With this voice, a man in coarse cloth walked in, and with him came another man.

I saw that although the man was wearing inferior clothes, he had a kind of nobility all over his body, which was impossible to ignore.

And the confident and gentle look on his face makes people even more unable to take their eyes off.

"You ......"

Zhao Yufeng's expression froze on his face, and he looked at him stunned.

"What's the matter, the third brother doesn't recognize me?"

Only then did everyone realize that this man who suddenly appeared was a little similar to Zhao Yufeng Jing.

Or, more accurately, to look like the emperor.

"Fourth brother!" But it was Zhao Yuhong who called out.

A cadre of old ministers only found out at this time, isn't this person the fourth prince Zhao Yuheng who went to Dongli back then?

Nodding, Zhao Yuheng still smiled faintly: "Ninth brother." ”

Then he walked next to Han Lingxian and made a big salute to the emperor: "Erchen knocks to see his father." ”

For his appearance, everyone present was shocked to close their jaws.

But the emperor seemed very calm, just walked up to him and helped him up, looked up and down again, and nodded with a smile: "It's good to be back." ”

Han Lingyan's gaze was always locked on the face of Zhao Yuheng, the fourth prince of Xiqi.

He had already received a report on his return to China, but later, it was said that he disappeared under the pursuit of many forces.

But he didn't expect him to appear here at this moment.

And it came out of his house.

As soon as he turned his face, he saw Lin Yuyan's somewhat helpless expression.

This person is Zhao Si.

"Father, my son asks you for your guilt!"

After saying a few words to the emperor, Zhao Si suddenly fell to his knees.

"What's wrong?"

"Erchen came back this time, because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he traveled lightly and turned into an ordinary person.

On the way, he heard that the Marquis of Yongding assassinated his father and was imprisoned.

Although Erchen has not been in Xiqi for many years, he believes in the spirit of General Duanmu and General Jing from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, he did a bold thing, Erchen borrowed 3,000 troops from General Lin from Jingnan, and pretended to trust ghosts and gods in Shiji Town to delay time.

So as to find out the truth of this case. ”

Hearing this, the emperor was very surprised, but he was not angry at all: "It turned out to be your doing." ”

"The son asks his father to atone for his sins."

"Forget it, you can be regarded as a great achievement, although the way of doing things is a little inappropriate, I don't care about it this time."

A smile appeared on Zhao Yuheng's face: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

After the emperor and Zhao Yuheng exchanged pleasantries, it seemed that they found that Han Linghan was still kneeling on the ground: "Why is Jun Hao still kneeling?" ”

"Father, this matter is all because of the son-in-law, and the prince is also afraid that you will blame the son-in-law for participating in this case privately, so he didn't say it, and the father should not blame him again."

The emperor shook his head with a smile and said, "Since you already know what is going on, how can you be angry with Jun Hao?" ”

Han Lingyan got up at this time, the expression on his face did not change, but he had some strange feelings about this Zhao Yuheng in his heart.
