Chapter 50 It is not yet known who killed the deer
On the streets of the Purple Feather Imperial City, there is a solemnity and solemnity that is rare to see in a hundred years.
Many shops have closed signs, and most of the people's houses are hung with white silk on the outside.
Almost no one was called, and people of all ages gathered on the streets, dressed in white filial piety clothes, and walked along the main streets of the imperial city in silence.
Everyone's face was unusually solemn and sad, and they didn't say a word during the whole process, but they showed extreme respect and sorrow for the deceased.
For King Ling, they are grateful, it is because he has been stationed at the border pass for many years to defend against foreign enemies, so that they have today's peaceful and prosperous era.
Although he treats people indifferently, and even has the title of "Ghost Face Shura", he has never treated the people like a prince, on the contrary, those who rely on the powerful and oppress the people will not end well in the end.
King Ling, who was so loved by the people, suddenly broke the news of his death.
At first, people were extremely unbelieving, but later, a letter from the border passed to confirm the news, and even the imperial court issued an order to bury King Lingguangguang.
The people were heartbroken, and the god of war, the prince who had made great achievements in war and had outstanding achievements, was finally buried in a well-dressed mound......
Large white lanterns were hung high on both sides of the entrance of King Ling's Mansion, and long white silk danced in the wind, making the already quiet King Ling's Mansion even more bleak and desolate.
In the hall, there is a tablet of King Ling, a couplet is hung on the wall, and a wreath of various colors is placed at the door.
Everyone in the palace was dressed in filial piety clothes, the housekeeper stood at the door to entertain the guests who came to worship, and Ling Yi, Jiang Yi and the magpie knelt in front of the spiritual seat, as people wearing linen and filial piety.
The magpie knelt on the ground, weeping as he burned paper into the stove, and now the young lady was gone, and even the prince had been killed......
Although King Ling's reputation in the court has always been arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take anyone seriously, but he has an accident, and there are many officials who come to mourn, including Yang Mingchang, the captain who tried to protect General Xiao's position last time.
Ling Yi secretly wrote down the names of the officials who came, they were usually more clear and righteous in the court, and they could be used as candidates for wooing in the future.
And the queen mother, the emperor, the prime minister, the extremely staff, and even the entire Yan family, none of them appeared.
The people of the palace know in their hearts, presumably they are looking forward to the death of the prince more than anyone else, this is the so-called relatives......
At this moment, although the palace is nominally mourning for King Ling, fasting for a month, and not wearing bright clothes, some people are afraid that they will not be able to sleep happily.
The emperor and the prime minister gathered in the queen mother's bedroom and summoned all the palace maids and eunuchs beside them.
"Lan'er, brother, now that our biggest obstacle is gone, the mourning family no longer has to be nervous every day by the truth of twenty-five years ago..."
"The queen mother has suffered for many years."
"Don't say that, the queen mother has done everything for you, and she has never complained or regretted." Looking at Murong Lingche's eyes was full of love, this was a maternal love that Murong Lingche had never had.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, don't worry about it in the future, someone will come to stop the emperor from owning the country." Prime Minister Yan Su said, his eyes flashing with unknown feelings.
Murong looked at Yan Su gratefully and said, "I want to thank my uncle for always being by my side, if it weren't for my uncle's mention, I'm afraid Murong Lingche wouldn't have disappeared so easily." ”
"It's the emperor's sage, and the minister just reminded him a little."
Murong was shocked and delighted, remembering the report from the secret guard, saying that Shui Mo Xuan was friends with Princess Ling and went to the border with her.
After Princess Ling's disappearance, Murong Ling Che already had toxins left in her body, and she was in a hurry for a while, and her condition became even more serious.
On that day, Murong Lingche disregarded his own safety and insisted on going out to find Mu Zhiyu, but Shui Mo Xuan followed all the way, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, secretly attacked, because his body was already weak, he was finally defeated, and was knocked off the cliff by Shui Mo Xuan.
Later, Shui Mo Xuan pretended to go back to the military camp to report that King Ling was attacked by the enemy and fell off the cliff, and the soldiers in the camp searched for many days at the bottom of the cliff, and finally only found the fragments of King Ling's clothes, and there were often wild beasts nearby, and the biggest possibility was that the corpse was eaten by wild beasts.
If it weren't for Yan Su's secret guards who saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Murong Lingche had disappeared into this world like this.
Murong was in ecstasy, and no one would threaten his throne in the future.
"Your Majesty, King Ling is dead, and the next step is to completely eradicate the foundation of King Ling's Mansion, as well as the Xiao family closest to him, especially Xiao Luoyu."
"What my uncle said is very true, it's just that King Ling is deeply loved by the people, and he has made outstanding achievements, if I suppress King Ling's Mansion at this time, I am afraid that I will be saddled with fratricide, and I will not be able to tolerate the infamy of meritorious ministers, and I will be spurned by the people of the world at that time..."
"It's still thoughtful that the emperor thinks, since King Ling is dead, then the rest is just ants that are still breathing, don't be afraid, the coming days are long, don't worry about finding an opportunity to completely eradicate them."
There was a burst of laughter in the dormitory, but he didn't notice a dark shadow flashing outside the door.
"And so they really say?"
In the middle of the night, in the secret room of King Ling's mansion, Ling Yi said to a man in black, and from the other party's voice, it could be heard that she was a woman.
"Yes, the emperor said that he would not move the palace for the time being."
"This can be guessed a long time ago, no matter how ruthless Murong Jinglan is, he will not do anything to the palace on the cusp of this limelight. And now, let him laugh to his heart's content, who will have the last laugh is not certain. ”
looked at the seemingly weak but actually strong woman in front of her and said, "Xinping, you have done a good job, but you have been lurking by the side of the Queen Mother, and you have worked hard." ”
"I have never felt hard, a few months ago, if it wasn't for the princess to rescue, I'm afraid I would have been sold into the Qinglou, it is my honor to be able to do something for the princess and the palace."
Ling nodded, and had to admit that the princess was very good to them, and could make them really do anything for her, "If there is any danger, find a way to get out of the palace immediately." ”
"I know." Xin Ping said this so that they would not worry about her, but she had already sworn that even if she lost her life, she would complete the task assigned to her by the princess.
And the truth that the old witch inadvertently said twenty-five years ago today is probably what the princess cares about, this is a clue, and she will definitely pursue it to the end.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and spoke, "Still no news from the princess?" "The disappearance of the princess, each of them is very anxious, and they all hope that she will return safely as soon as possible.
Ling Yi was stunned and shook his head, "Not yet, Jiang Yi has already contacted all the provinces of the rivers and lakes to help find it, and once there is news of the princess, he will immediately tell us." ”
"In that case, I'm relieved. It's getting late, I have to go back right away. After Xinping finished speaking, she disappeared into the secret room.
Ling Yi was also the princess before going to the border to learn about Xinping's deposit, the princess accidentally rescued her from the hands of the Qinglou people when she went to the street, and later secretly taught her some self-defense skills, in order to repay the kindness, regardless of the danger, she became the appearance of the queen mother's personal maid Dongshuang, and was willing to lurk beside the queen mother.
And her task is to confirm one of the princess's guesses, and by the way find evidence.
In the past, she reported directly to the princess, and before leaving, the princess explained that she had something to report directly to herself, which shows the princess's trust in herself, and also made him swear that no matter what happens, he will complete the task that the princess explained to her.
As soon as the news of the death of King Ling, the god of war, came out, some people would inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos at the border.
So Ling Xuan, Ling Jiu and his secret guards stayed in Xiao Luoyu's camp, while Ling Feng, Ling Wu, Ling Liu and their secret guards stayed in Murong Ling Che's military camp to protect the safety of the border pass.
And Xiao Luoyu hurried back to the imperial city, and was able to ensure the safety of the Ling Palace, although Murong Jinglan would not move the palace for the time being, but he also had to be foolproof.
In the courtyard of Jing Ge Country, although Mu Zhiyu was not restricted from freedom, it was no different from seclusion, because she couldn't get out of this courtyard at all.
In the past few days, Ye Feng went out on errands and did not appear in front of her for the time being, so she searched almost all parts of the courtyard, but still did not find any way to escape.
The only thing that wasn't shrouded in the formation was the cliff behind the house, but she wouldn't jump unless she had to, because if she went down, she would definitely die.
Sitting quietly in front of the window, looking at the cliffs outside, his eyes were covered with a faint melancholy, one hand supporting his chin, and his brows were tightly locked.
She's been gone for so long, I'm afraid the man who spoiled her so much is going crazy.
Thinking that his body has not fully recovered, I can't help but worry about him, according to his temperament, if he wants to do something, I'm afraid no one can stop it, as long as he shoots cold eyes and roars coldly, all people will have a numb scalp and retreat to the side in fright......
What if he really disregarded his body and insisted on coming to him, she really didn't want him to do it.
And Chu Muchen, I don't know what his injuries were, the man in black who hurt him, when he fought with him, obviously didn't use all his strength, as if he didn't want to hurt himself, could it be related to Ye Feng?
If so, what is his purpose?
If the two appearances were not coincidences, then they must have been premeditated, but it seems that he had not been seen before, so why did he lock himself up here?
What worries her the most is that his aura is too powerful, that is, she has no one to feel the dangerous aura, she can kill people with the sound of the flute, and maybe there are many unrevealed strengths.
And what is the true identity of such a man?
As she pondered, footsteps came from outside.
I was shocked, could it be that he was back?
