The look of appreciation and gratitude in Huo Mingzhai's eyes was obviously easy to see.

Changying smiled without saying a word, and bent his knees to return the junior salute.

Then he walked down the stone steps, went to the stone table in the courtyard, first stretched out his hand and invited Huo Mingzhai to sit down, and then sat down himself, and said: "I'm afraid this can only be said to be fate." ”

Huo Mingzhai nodded in agreement, and said, "In this way, the generals are all recovered." ”

Changying said: "Although it's a little late, it's better than never remembering it." ”

After she returned to the Ling family, Ling Yan tried to make her recall, and once told her about the events before and after her distress, so she knew that the reason why Huo Mingzhai changed his plan and appeared there was because he believed that his son would go to the Qian family after he got out of trouble.

Therefore, he asked Tong Qi to look for someone, while he himself went to the Qian family to meet Yang Su. As a result, he encountered an accident on the way.

In fact, even if Changying doesn't save Huo Mingzhai, as long as she goes to the Qian family, she will definitely fall into the hands of Fu Rong.

Fu Rong would not kill Huo Mingzhai, because then he would not be able to give an explanation to the emperor.

From the conversation between the two people in the inn, it can be judged that it was Fu Rong's idea to kill Yang Su in Tongzhou, not the emperor's, in this case, they can prevent Huo Mingzhai from going to Qian's house, but they can't kill him.

If he kills him, not only will he not be able to explain to the emperor, but he will also lose a Huo family with a strong family background to use in vain.

At that time, her situation was different, first of all, although she had a background, she had never been directly related to Gong Yu, and she disappeared with Yang Su, and Fu Rong wanted to kill Yang Su again, so she would inevitably have to be arrested.

No matter how fast Ling Yan was and how carefully he planned, he never thought that he would meet the emperor there, let alone that there were secrets behind these five princes.

Thinking of this, she looked at Huo Mingzhai again and said, "The prince doesn't seem to know that Mr. has been to Tongzhou back then, and you didn't tell him?" ”

Huo Mingzhai said: "It was the emperor's decree that it was not allowed to say." Not only was he not allowed to say it, but he himself kept it a secret from Rong'er. I never thought that Fu Rong would be his child, otherwise I-"

He sighed and said, "It's also my fault, I think I can rest assured if I hand over that child to the Fu family, if I also pay attention to it from time to time, maybe there won't be such a thing." ”

"What if...... Otherwise, it's ......", words like this have been heard more than once by Changying recently, but that's how it happened.

But God was not too cruel to people after all, and gave her the opportunity to uncover all this, although the price of uncovering it was a bit big, such as the sacrifice of Ling Yan, such as ...... Rong Yin, however, the Ling family was completely preserved after all, wasn't it?

Her heart hurts, too, but she has to look forward.

If in the rest of his life, he can make his aunt cheerful and at ease, so that Ling Yuan and his brothers can carry forward the family style of the Ling family, and let Daning be at peace from now on, it may not be regarded as a kind of compensation.

In the spring breeze, she lowered her head and picked up a petal and dusted it off.

In the spring breeze, Yang Su led a group of courtiers into the East Palace.

Yang Ji and his family have moved to the Ten Princes' Mansion, and the mansion when Yang Su entered Beijing has now become his residence. As for his title, it will be drawn up after tomorrow.

The palace people were cleaning the palace room, Yang Su looked around twice, and finally stopped in the courtyard and said: "Tomorrow's ceremony will be simplified first, and unnecessary processes will be deleted, but the news should be transmitted to all prefectures and counties as soon as possible, so as to stabilize people's hearts." ”

The recorder wrote it down.

Yang Su took the book and looked at it, then returned it and said, "You all go and get busy first." He said: "It's a pity to go with me to Dali Temple." ”

Xie Peng was in charge of following Yang Su today. He asked, "What are you going to Dali Temple to do at this time?" ”

Yang Su said as he descended the steps: "You'll know when you go." ”

When he arrived at Dali Temple, Yang Su went directly to the place where Fu Rong was mortuary.

The body had been carefully treated with spices and placed in a coffin, and even after a few days, it was still in its original condition.

When the corpse was collected, the people below planned to wrap it in a straw mat and hang it at the city gate, but Feng Shaoyin stopped it. No one asked why it should be stopped? But Yang Su didn't object, so no one dared to disobey, and in the end he was respected.

"Lift it out." Yang Su said.

When Dali Siqing heard this, he hurriedly called people to come.

The body was placed on the slab again.

Ling Yuan looked away and stared at the wall.

Even if Fu Rong is the real culprit who indirectly killed Ling Yan, and even if he is the culprit who has caused Changying to suffer for many years, this face is after all the face he has grown up with since he was a child, and this body does not know how many times he has inadvertently touched each other and how much trust he has handed over to him in the past years.

The most hateful thing may not be the evil of the wicked, but the wicked man, in addition to the evil, he has also participated in the long-term life of others, and he is burned in the time, and he can't pick it out.

Xie Peng's brows furrowed, his eyes were fixed on the corpse on the door panel, and one of the hands holding the sword was inexplicably a little tight.

Yang Su drew his sword and picked up the white cloth, and said, "Untie your clothes." ”

And the servants untied their garments.

Yang Su's gaze fell on a scar on the inside of his arm that was not very clearly shaped.

Although the border is not very clear, it can still be seen as a trident pattern.

Yang Su stared at the imprint for a long time and did not move.

Xie Pengtong looked at the brand, and his eyes became a little darker.

"What is this?" He asked.

Yang Su waved his hand to let the people from Dali Temple go out, and said, "Fu Rong went to Fu's house, and my father sent it back then." ”

Ling Yuan and Xie Peng both turned their heads to look at him.

"Originally, it was just foster care, but the eldest son of the Fu family just died, so he was on top."

Yang Su withdrew his hand and looked at them: "My father said that he had branded a trident on the inside of the child's arm before sending it. I'm worried about it, and it's always uneasy not to see it with my own eyes. ”

Xie Peng looked at the "trident" and lowered his gaze after a long time.

……

Changying chatted with Huo Mingzhai for a while, then got up and went back to Osmanthus Hutong.

Yang Su's performance after returning to Beijing is obvious to all, and for the coronation, Song Xiao and they have recently urgently agreed on several civil decrees, which have attracted the expectations of the people.

Daning because of the party fight, turbulent for many years, and implicated in a number of government affairs, resulting in pirates and bandits, the people suffered deeply, and now it is not easy to fight the thieves, and the ministers are no longer a constraint, who does not welcome the court to usher in a new atmosphere?

The palace is in full swing for the ceremony of the new crown prince to be crowned tomorrow, and the people on the street are also running to tell each other.

Mrs. Ling had already sent someone to the palace to inquire about Changying's situation several times, and Ling Yuan repeatedly assured that Liang Feng's guarantee was not a big problem, so she resisted the idea of rushing to the palace.

As soon as Changying stepped into the mansion gate, Xiuxiu hurriedly asked people to go to Ling's house to deliver news.

After a while, Xu Jinruo also came, bringing the news that Xu Yao had controlled the situation in Liaodong, and would also send people to escort the hundred horses offered by the Liao Wangfu into Beijing.

Although the situation has not yet reached the moment when it is finally settled, it is finally moving in a good direction in a big step.
