Emperor Tan looked at Ling'er's appearance and said with a slight amusement: "Get up, don't be nervous, I just have a few words to ask you today, just answer truthfully!" ”

Hongxing looked at Emperor Tan and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what questions to ask the people's daughters?" ”。 The cousin glanced at Hongxing, then at Ling'er and said, "What is the relationship between the two of you?" ”

Hong Xing glanced at Ling'er, and Ling'er also glanced at Hong Xing suspiciously.

Hong Xing bowed slightly and said, "This should be my half-sister!" "What! Ling'er exclaimed in surprise.

Hong Xing looked at Ling'er's face, which was extremely similar to herself, and slowly told her experience when she was a child. When she said that when her father picked up a baby girl outside the door, Ling'er cried out with an "ah".

"Are you really my sister? Why did my father never tell me this? No wonder my father used to look at my face in a daze! Ling'er muttered.

After listening patiently to the two of them alternately recounting their life experiences, Emperor Tan continued to ask, "Then do you know if there are any sisters?" ”

Hong Xing and Ling'er both showed a look of surprise on their faces, and Hong Xing first shook her head and said, "I only heard my mother say that there is only such a sister." ”

Ling'er also shook her head and said, "Why does the emperor ask that?" I've never heard of me having a sister, and even this sister just found out! ”

When Emperor Tan heard this, he groaned for a while, and beckoned to Hongxing, "Come here." ”

Hongxing hesitated and took a few steps forward, and Emperor Tan asked Gonggong Cao to take Hongxing to the side hall to see the body of the killer's assassin. After a while, Hong Xing came over with a pale face, and was still in a trance, and it seemed that she was frightened.

"How...... How so? How could there be a woman so similar to me? She looked blankly at Xiao Yu and said.

"Little Fish Girl, is this the same woman you said you met in Lan Kwai Fong last time?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly: "It should be, I'm not sure!" ”

Ling'er looked at Hongxing and Xiaoyu in confusion and asked, "What are you talking about?" Why can't I understand a word? ”

Hongxing pondered for a moment, looked up at Emperor Tan and said, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter thinks that Ling'er should also go and take a look!" ”

Emperor Tan did not object, and nodded invisibly at Hongxing, who stepped forward and pulled Ling'er and asked her to follow her to the side hall.

Ling'er followed in confusion, and after a while, Ling'er followed Hongxing back.

She muttered, "Do I really have a sister?" ”

Emperor Tan raised his eyebrows with interest and asked, "Why did you say that, this girl?" ”

Ling'er stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the folk girl has never heard of a sister when she was young, but when the folk girl went to see the woman, the folk girl found that the woman had a jade pendant around her neck, but it was exactly the same as the folk girl!" ”

After speaking, Ling'er pulled out a red rope from her neckline, and at the other end of the red rope was a piece of jade pendant with a blooming hibiscus flower and a fluttering butterfly.

Emperor Tan glanced at Duke Cao on the side, and Duke Cao turned around and walked out in a deliberate manner. After a while, Gonggong Cao came back and presented Emperor Tan with a green jade pendant.

Emperor Tan put the two jade pendants together, and found that sure enough, the jade carvings were exactly the same, the only difference was that the antennae of one butterfly were to the right, while the other jade pendant, the antennae of the butterfly were to the left.

Apparently this is a couple! Emperor Tan turned over the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and suddenly found that there was very small handwriting in the stamens of the hibiscus flower on one of the jade pendants.

One stamen is engraved with a spirit character, and the other is engraved with a show character. "Spirit...... Elegant! Ling'er muttered to herself, "So my name comes from this!" ”

Seeing that the relationship between the assassin and the second daughter in front of him had been understood, Emperor Tan asked, "Can you provide any clues about this woman's origin?" ”

Hongxing said hesitantly: "When the folk girl was young, I heard her mother say that her mother should be a Miao girl!" After speaking, she pointed at Ling'er lightly.

Emperor Tan set his eyes on Ling'er, but Ling'er shook his head in confusion and said: "The folk girl doesn't know anything, and her father never told the folk girl's life experience, only that the maid's mother has passed away!" ”

Concubine Xian thought for a moment, then said to Emperor Tan: "Your Majesty, it seems that you still have to call their father to ask!" ”

Emperor Tan nodded and said: "It's late today, so let's do it, you all live in the palace for the time being, and pass your two fathers in early tomorrow morning, find out your life history, and see if that woman is a sister to you, maybe your father can provide some clues!" ”

Hongxing and Ling'er both knew that the matter was related to the royal family, and the matter was very high, so they both nodded.

That night, Xiaoyu went to live in the palace of Concubine Xian, while Hongxing and Ling'er arranged to live separately. Early the next morning. Then a eunuch came to spread the word that Emperor Tan invited Concubine Xian and Xiaoyu to the Qianqing Palace.

When Xiaoyu accompanied Concubine Xian to Qianqing Palace, Hongxing and Ling'er were already there, and their eyes were slightly red and swollen, showing that they had been sleepless all night, thinking that it was the reason why the sisters were excited to recognize each other last night.

It didn't take long for Master Jia Tuan to also enter the palace, and he was surprised to see Hongxing. As if he didn't believe his eyes, he asked, "You...... Are you a red apricot? ”

Hongxing glanced at him coldly and didn't speak. Jia Tuan Leader looked at Ling'er again, Ling'er nodded to him, and then walked to his side and whispered to Jia Tuan Er about last night's incident, and Jia Tuan Lord's legs were weak when he heard it.

Before Emperor Tan came back, Concubine Xian said behind the screen: "Master Jia, since you are here, think about it, don't talk about it, you must know that this is a life-threatening matter!" ”

As soon as the head of the Jia Tuan heard Concubine Xian speak, he knelt down with a "plop", and said continuously: "Niangniang spare her life!" Mother's life! The little ones don't know anything! Little wrong! ”

Seeing that her father looked like a wreck, Hongxing couldn't help frowning, and gently walked to Jia Tuan's side and pulled his sleeve. Jia Tuan Master only knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, not noticing Hongxing's small movements at all.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian said gently: "Master Jia, you don't have to panic, the emperor will not wronged a person, but ......", she said, her voice turned serious: "But if you want to get through the trick, it is impossible!" ”

When the head of the Jia Tuan heard this, he fell down again, and kowtowed again and again: "Niangniang Mingjian!" Mother's Vision! Smile really doesn't know anything! “

Seeing that this Jia Tuan Master had no responsibility, Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel disdainful and said, "Then you tell the truth, who is Ling'er's mother!" ”

Jia Tuanzhu's body on the ground trembled slightly, he raised his head and his lips squirmed slightly for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Small...... The little ones don't know either! ”

Ling'er's face changed slightly, and Hongxing blurted out: "Didn't my mother say that the woman was a Miao girl!" Jia Tuan Master said with a sad face: "It is indeed a Miao girl, but what is her name, which village does her family live in, and the villain...... The villain doesn't know anything! ”

Xiao Yu listened with a slight headache on the side, it sounds like this Jia Tuan Master didn't have a one-night stand, and it was enough that he didn't even know the woman's name.

Jia Tuan Master trembled more and more, and his entire fat body struggled to clump on the ground. Concubine Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Then think about it carefully and see if you can think of any clues about this woman." And this pair of jade pendants, you can take a look! After speaking, she asked Aunt Jinruo to hand over Ling'er's pair of jade pendants to Master Jia.

Master Jia Tuan was taken aback and said, "This jade pendant ...... Where did this and a jade pendant come from? Concubine Xian said lightly: "What? Do you know this pair of jade pendants? ”

Jia Tuan Master gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Niangniang, this jade pendant is worn by the little girl Ling'er since she was a child, but there has always been only one, how to ...... How did it become a couple now? ”

Concubine Xian sighed slightly behind the screen: "Master Jia, you go to the side hall first!" After speaking, Aunt Jinruo led the master of Jia Tuan to the side hall. When the leader of the Jia Tuan came back, there was no blood on his chubby face, his face was gray, and beads of sweat were dripping down his face.

"Mother, what's going on, little ...... The little ......" said Jia Tuan Master kneeling on the ground with a sad face.

"Master Jia Tuan, from your two daughters and this pair of jade pendants, we speculate that the woman in the side hall should also be your daughter, maybe she and your Ling'er are twin sisters!" Concubine Xian told the story.

"But why that woman appeared in the capital, why she entered the palace to assassinate, it is unknown now, to clear your suspicion, I am afraid you need to provide more clues!" Concubine Xian continued to put pressure on Master Jia behind the screen.

Jia Tuan Master only knew that he knelt on the ground and shouted aggrievedly, and suddenly he stopped: "Niangniang! Empress! The villain remembered! That one...... In that March, there was a person, a person with a dwarf who held the token of the Miao girl to ask the villain for help! ”

"Oh?" Concubine Xian heard a new clue and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then walked behind the screen and told Concubine Xian about the fact that he had been taken captive by King Ding to the juggling troupe.

Concubine Xian knew that Xiaoyu had been taken captive by the eldest princess, but she never expected that things would turn around and pull King Ding in. Emperor Tan, the queen, the crown prince, and the king of Ding, it seems that a big net is scattered all over the world, as if everyone is going to be wiped out.

Xiao Yu saw that Concubine Xian fell into deep thought, and reminded: "The little girl once heard that King Ding's mother concubine is also a Miao girl? Concubine Xian was taken aback, and her eyes revealed a surprise that could not be concealed.

In this way, this assassination is really related to King Ding! Could it be that King Ding wants to frame the queen by this matter!
