Chapter 80: The Covenant Before the Spirit

Although Sima Wei handed over the assassin's matter to the Criminal Department, on the night of the assassination, Xu Mengmeng had already discovered that although the purpose of those assassins was the same, it was obviously not just a group of people, so she let Gu Xuan keep an eye on it.

Sima Wei didn't plan to move the Seventh Prince, but she would definitely move his subordinates, and she just took the opportunity to see if she could miss a person involved in the Baifu case.

I don't know if he was frightened, or he was anxious about not being able to move Sima Xun, Sima Ji was sick, and he was so sick that he didn't even go to the early court, but chose a few respected ministers to deal with the court, and for some reason, he even brought Xu Mengmeng.

After dealing with the court affairs on the first day, when everyone left, Xu Mengmeng was stopped by Wang Gang.

"Ning Jun, does my son's death have anything to do with you?"

"Lord Wang, Ling Lang was given death by the emperor for breaking into the imperial study and killing someone, what does it have to do with Ning?

However, although this matter has nothing to do with Ning, even if I have just arrived in the capital, I have heard of the reputation of the three evils of Ling Gongzi in the capital, although the three of them are bullying people on weekdays, but they may not have the courage to break into the imperial study, so Lord Wang doesn't think it's strange? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Mengmeng couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thanks to the leaky snake attraction plan at the beginning, otherwise he was afraid that it would have been exposed.

"Of course I knew that my son had been falsely accused! On the night of the incident, someone saw your guards leave the banquet hall with their own eyes, was it my son whom you murdered? Wang Gang yelled excitedly.

"Yo~ I want to thank the person who saw it, otherwise Ning Mou has a hundred mouths and can't tell it, indeed, Ning's guard left the banquet on the night of the birthday banquet, but I guess that person must have never told you that my guard only left less than half a pillar of incense, right?

What do you think of my guard's ability to complete this perfect murder case in Half a Pillar of Incense? I'm afraid that half a pillar of incense may not even have time to rush to the imperial study! That person asked Lord Wang to aim the artillery at Ning, I don't know what his intentions were?

And the most important thing is that I have no grievances with Ling Lang, why should I frame him? ”

Xu Mengmeng's words made the irritable Wang Gang calm down instantly, he had done a lot of things for that person, he didn't believe that the man didn't know the importance of his son to him, and he didn't believe that the man would calculate him like this, after all, it would not do that person the slightest benefit, but Ning Jun's words had a certain truth.

"Hmph~ It's better to have nothing to do with you as you say, otherwise I will never let you go!" Wang Gang shook his sleeves away with a fierce threat, leaving Xu Mengmeng to look at his back and fall into deep thought.

Wang Gang is not good at coming today, it seems that someone wants to borrow his hand against himself! But it just so happened that she was also very curious about whose hand it was, it was Zhu Tianrui who died, it is said that Zhu Li loves this nephew very much, and the possibility of being the seventh prince should not be high!

For a long time, although Zhao Yuling has been very targeted at her sister, she never thought that the sister she had always envied and jealous died like this, she hadn't seen her infinite beauty, and she hadn't envied and jealous herself, how could it?

After returning home from the hunting ground, her mind has been messed up, obviously from now on, she can enjoy all the eyes and favors in the Zhao Mansion, all of which she dreamed of before, and now it is easily hers, but her heart is uncomfortable.

At a loss, she had to go to the person she trusted the most in the family, but when she walked to the window of the study, the sound of her father and the housekeeper talking from inside made her subconsciously stop and lean against the window to steal the sound.

"Ah Wen, just now the Furui Mansion handed over the news, saying that it will be with our mansion tomorrow night, you go down and prepare well." Zhao Jingyuan's voice was still indifferent and elegant, but the words he said were shocking.

"Master, this ...... It's not good! The eldest lady cares about General Ning, this is obvious to everyone, now that she is gone, why bother persecuting her, so that she will not be at ease after her death! The housekeeper Uncle Wen's eyes were full of unbearability, and he hesitated for a moment but persuaded him.

"So what? Since she was born in my Zhao Mansion, for the prosperity of my Zhao Mansion, she should accept everything I arranged, she obviously has a marriage contract with Furui Wangfu, but she still dares to die for Ning Jun in public, and it almost ruined my plan, that is, she is dead now, even if she doesn't die, she has to marry me! Zhao Jingyuan's indifferent tone carried a hint of resentment.

"But after all, she is your biological daughter, master!"

"I don't care if she's my daughter or not, this ** must be knotted! Besides, not to mention her, for the sake of our plan, even if we have to sacrifice Ling'er one day, I won't blink an eye......"

When Zhao Yuling heard this, tears poured down all of a sudden, and she turned around and walked in the direction of the mourning hall with a lost face.

In the huge mourning hall, the emptiness and silence were terrible, only Yuqin, who was dressed in plain clothes, knelt in front of the incense table and burned paper.

"You go out first! Let me talk to my sister alone! Driving away Yuqin, she went to the place where she was kneeling and sat down, threw the pale yellow paper money into the brazier in front of her one by one, and said in a low voice:

"Since my mother died, my father gave me to the nurse, and he raised you himself, and I often wondered at that time, if my father had only one daughter, would he have treated me like you, so I envy you and hate you!

Once, I secretly saw the female master praise you in front of him, and he smiled very happily and touched the top of your hair with great pity, and at that moment I thought that because you were better than me, I could get the love that I could not desire.

So, you learned qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I tried my best to learn those, even more than you put in more energy, just so that one day he could notice me, but until I was sixteen years old, the entire Zhao family still only knew the name of your Miss Zhao's gentle and virtuous talent, but I didn't know that my second miss was not inferior to you.

Finally, you him off, he got angry, he was tired of you, he noticed me like a shadow in this house, he ate at the same table with me, he would touch my forehead and smile at me kindly, I thought that I had finally come to the end of my hardship, and finally won you!

However, at this moment, I realized that I was indeed not as smart as you, it turned out that we were just pawns in his struggle for power, you have always understood, but I have never been able to distinguish between dream and reality, am I stupid? ”

Zhao Yuling smiled miserably and lonely, she put down the paper money, got up and walked to the coffin, leaned on it gently, and let the tears drip on the black coffin lid:

"Sister, that person is going to marry you to Sima Zhao tomorrow night, since you like General Ning, then I will test his mind for you? If he dares to come tomorrow to stop the marriage, I will tell him all the truth for you. If he doesn't come, then you and I will die from now on, and how about being that person's pawn with peace of mind? ”
