Chapter 45: Father and Daughter Talk
"My son, my father wants to tell you about the assassination of my concubine, and the spies sent out in the past two days have almost returned, and my father knows something." The emperor moved a bench for himself and sat down beside Ling'er's bed.
"Father..."Ling'er looked at the emperor with teary eyes.
"You just listen to your father now."
"Have you caught the real culprit?" Ling'er stopped crying and asked in a thick nasal voice.
"Not yet, but if only we knew who it was. Your father explained to you slowly, and you listened patiently. The queen interjected.
"The owner of the fish intestine sword that your master heard about on the rivers and lakes is a swordsmanship master in Beimeng, named Yelulong, a member of the royal side branch of Beimeng, specializing in licking blood from the knife edge, that is, a mercenary, this time he was bought by someone to assassinate Qi Rong."
"What does my father mean, he didn't come to assassinate his son?" Ling'er, who had a thick nasal voice, continued to ask.
"It seems that he assassinated you, but you ran away without hurting him, in fact, the target has always been Qi Rong. He won't come to assassinate you, kill you, my father will definitely destroy the country in Beimeng, what money can be earned and what money can't be earned, he is still measured, you look at Shi Mi, there is no serious injury after a sword. The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, the business has the rules of the business field, and the business of licking blood from the knife edge is also business. ”
"Qi Rong is kind and kind, and I haven't heard of anyone making enemies with him."
The emperor glanced at her after hearing Ling'er's words, and was silent after thinking for a while, and then said, "If he is in the way of whom?" ”
"It turns out that I hurt him." Ling'er suddenly understood, it was estimated that Shi Mi did it, or he would have been slightly injured that day, but Qi Rong would never have woken up. "Then father, why don't you arrest Shi Mi."
"Now all the spearheads are pointed at Wen Juma and General Wen."
"What? How could it be! ”
"Yes, my father doesn't want to believe it. However, this may not be true, and it is possible that the real murderer deliberately asked us to see this. ”
"Why Wen Qingjue?"
"Beimeng wants to enter so many people, do you want to enter from northern Xinjiang? There are also rumors on the rivers and lakes that General Wen is dissatisfied with his son being a colt and thinks about it. ”
"Among those people, only Yelulong, who holds the fish intestine sword, has superb swordsmanship, and nothing else."
"What do my sons mean, only Yelulong himself came from Beimeng, and everything else is looking for it here?"
"Isn't this what my father meant?"
"My father actually thinks so too. killed Qi Rong, and then planted the blame on General Wen and Wen Yuma, and the person who really took advantage of the fisherman was too obvious. ”
"Why didn't my father arrest people?"
"Do you arrest a great general without evidence? He now has the forbidden army around the imperial city in his hands, what if it is the opposite, the dead and wounded are still the people of our East China. The father wants to improve his official position, transfer him back and hand over the military power before he can move him, and when the time comes, he will pretend to be meritorious because of his escort, Shi Mi will be promoted to a concubine, and it will not be too late to let General Shi come back to attend the wedding ceremony and arrest him. And my father wasn't sure it was him. Before this, my father wanted to avenge Qi Rong, vent his anger for Qi Hai, and it was the right thing to catch that Yelulong first, my father had already submitted his credentials to Beimeng, assassinate my East China concubine, and if I didn't hand over the criminals, I would cause a war! But the father didn't say that the concubine was dead, and it is estimated that they don't know when they will wait, and now the father has thought of a good way to catch Yelulong. Then clean up the people behind the scenes, whether it is Shi Jing or Wen Zhiluo (the name of General Wen)! ”
"What does the father want his son to do?"
"Get better, don't get sick anymore, you need to act to deal with these people, how can you get sick again."
"The son made his father and queen mother worried. will live up to his father's trust, and will definitely avenge Qi Rong. Ling'er's eyes were firm.
"Now that my father is saying to the outside world that Ma Qirong is only seriously injured, then Yelulong must think that he can't get money if he doesn't complete the task, and he will come to the imperial city again and try to catch him. During this period, you have to watch Shi Mi, now he is not allowed to communicate with the outside, he has no one with him, and they are not allowed to meet and communicate with each other in the palace. ”
"Thank your father, you will live up to your father's trust!"
