Xia Zheng looked at Ning Yuan in shock, and was speechless in surprise.

Ling Han was also equally surprised, how could such a fairy-like and elegant character be the murderer of Concubine Ling?

The women in the harem were killed, mostly because of a competition for favor.

But what does Junnan mean by this?

"I'll go to Junnan and ask for clarification." After Xia Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left Ning Xin Pavilion.

On the way to Qin Tianjian, the crown prince Xia Zheng exuded a low coercion, and the palace people along the way were all trembling with fear when they saw him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been gentle and humble, and rarely loses his temper, what's wrong with him today?

Jun Nan was mixing incense and making tea at this time, and the white smoke was swirling, making it impossible to see his expression.

Xia Zheng pulled out his saber and asked Jun Nandao sharply: "Say, did you kill the concubine?"

There was a fierce murderous aura in his starry eyes, which were as black as the night, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

He knew that Jun Nan was Ning Yuan's favorite person.

So, once it is confirmed that it is really Junnan......

Ning Kite, how sad would it be?

"Concubine Ling was killed by an assassin, how could she be killed by me?"

Jun Nan was dressed in a white priest's costume, with a high crown and wide sleeves, and a fairy appearance, looking like a mortal immortal, noble and undesecrated.

"The assassins deliberately told Concubine Ling that they were sent by me, and it is not impossible to disturb your reconnaissance sight."

After getting a confirmed answer, Xia Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his sword.

Ling Han, who had been following Xia Zheng, also let go of the heart that had been hanging.

Great, people weren't killed by Junnan.

As long as this matter is not done by Ning Yuan's favorite and most trusted person, it will be fine.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to think carefully to know who did this." Jun Nan reminded him.

After the death of the mother, who benefited the most?

Naturally, she is the mother concubine of other princes in the harem.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to enter the East Palace because Concubine Ling was favored, and after Concubine Ling died, His Royal Highness had to be careful, and he must not let people catch him."

Prince Xia Zheng's face softened a little, and he bowed and said, "Thank you Lord Priest for reminding you." ”

When Ning Yuan learned from Xia Zheng's mouth that the real murderer of the mother concubine was not Master Junnan, the boulder pressed in her heart finally fell.

Ling Han quietly retreated, and did not come in to see Ning Yuan.

Because the things that should be done and confirmed have already been done by the crown prince Xia Zheng.

He came back, but it was redundant.

At this time, he was very envious of the crown prince Xia Zheng.

Because Xia Zheng has the identity of a close relative, he can justifiably accompany Ning Yuan.

If he also had such a name, he could touch her openly and comforted her.

If Ling Han knew, what he was looking forward to would come true in the near future.

And the price is that Ning Yuan will always hate him.

I don't know how I feel.

Concubine Ling was assassinated, and the saddest thing was Emperor Xia Qi.

The loss of a loved one made him feel like he was a teenager in a few years.

Even the gray hair seems to be starting to increase.

Three years after the death of Concubine Ling, Emperor Xia Qi ordered that no happy events should be held in the palace, so the marriage between Princess Feiluan and the priest Junnan was also delayed.

Without the protection of Concubine Ling, after the crown prince Xia Zheng, I am afraid that only Ning Yuan can help him.

Although Xia Zheng is talented, gentle and frugal, he lacks the mental skills and city government of an emperor.

Besides, he hated forming a party for personal gain, and felt that it was something that only flies and dogs would do.

In the past few years, the power of supporting the crown prince in the court has gradually weakened, and only a few old ministers who pursue orthodoxy are still holding on.

The other forces either supported the Seventh Prince Xia Yi or maintained a neutral attitude.

If the power of the Seven Princes overwhelms the forces that support the crown prince, then it will be a matter of time before the East Palace changes hands.

It's a pity that the assassination of Concubine Ling couldn't investigate the specific real culprit, and there was no strong evidence left at the scene, so it had to be closed in the end.

Otherwise, they would have a powerful weapon in their hands that could bring down the Seven Princes.

Ning Yuan sensitively sensed that if she didn't do something again, she would fight for the imperial brother.

Without the protection of the concubine, if the prince's brother loses power again......

Maybe the royal brother and her will not end well.

In the past few years, Ling Han has been in the barracks, working hard, and others have run ten laps of the school field, and he has run twenty laps.

Others practiced archery and riding for one hour, and he practiced for two hours.

If others practice the same fighting body ten times, he will practice it twenty times.

With his clever mind, as well as the extraordinary skills that he gradually experienced, coupled with the fact that the generals in the army attached great importance to the talents recommended by the priest Jun Nan, Ling Han soon made a name for himself in the army.

From centurion, to thousand, to lieutenant general in the barracks.

With only one victory in battle, he can get the title of general!

Ling Han's heart was overjoyed, and when he got the title of military merit, he went to propose to the emperor and ask the emperor for marriage.

Although the emperor may not be able to agree, let Princess Ning Yuan marry him.

However, as long as he thought of such a possibility in the future, Ling Han couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

All of this is thanks to the priest for giving him this opportunity.

Just when Ling Han wanted to go to the door to worship Xie Junnan, he met a grandmother and a group of palace maids who were preparing wedding dresses and ritual utensils on the way.

"Be quick, delay the princess's marriage, but you feel better."

Get married? Could it be ......

Ling Han hurriedly stopped Mama and the group of palace maids, and asked, "Didn't the emperor say that in the past three years, no happy events can be held in the palace?" ”

"Yes, but three years have passed, and there has been no happy event in the palace for so long, so it's time to be happy."

Ling Han's heart suddenly hung up.

"Yes, which princess wants to get married?"

At the beginning, when he practiced, it was okay, he could come back to Ning Xin Pavilion for a few days a month to visit Ning Kite.

But in the years that followed, he rarely came back to visit Princess Ning Yuan, especially when he marched to war, and often left for a year and a half.

I know less and less about Princess Ning Yuan.

This time, the princess who is going to get married, is it ......

"Back to the general," said the leading grandmother, "it's our eldest princess and the priest." ”

Princess Feiluan and the priest?

Seeing that Ling Han was stunned in place, the grandmother made a blessing salute and said, "Don't be strange, general, we still have to prepare food for the princess at the marriage ceremony, and we will retire first." ”

Ling Han waved his hand and let them go down first.

Strange, does the priest like Princess Feiluan?

Why doesn't he think that these two people are a good match at all?

However, the princess who was going to marry was not Ning Kite, which made Ling Han breathe a sigh of relief.

Ningxin Pavilion

"Princess, Ling Han is back!"

With excitement and anticipation, Ling Han pushed the door in.

Ning Yuan turned around in response, curling like a new lotus blooming, dressed in purple and luxurious, like a fairy descending to earth.
