Shen Lingxi was completely immersed in the reasoning of the case, and he didn't notice Chu Yan's strangeness at all.

Especially when she found out that the instigator behind this conspiracy was Yun Chong, the abolished prince of Yun Kingdom, her eyes were full of coldness.

Scold.

She didn't forget that when she was alone and wild, she saw this half-brother of the prince and brother, escorted by the dead to escape to Da Zhou, although incognito, but lived a rich life with a group of wives and concubines, and was obsessed with the great cause of recovering the country.

"Wait for the right time, the great cause will be accomplished."

These eight words are enough to show that Yun Chong wants to muddy the waters of the Great Zhou and take advantage of the chaos to realize his dream of recovering the country.

It's a beautiful thought.

Merely......

Shen Lingxi pondered: "The biggest backer of the Mu family is the queen, Yun Chong wants to bring down the Mu family and assassinate the queen Shang still said in the past." But he killed Mu Xue'e first. Mu Xue'e is just a boudoir woman, and killing her is of no practical use other than venting her anger......"

"No, if he only kills Mu Xue'e, it is really useless, but if he hangs Mu Xue'e's body on the beam of the Dizang Palace, and leads His Highness down to investigate the affairs of the underground palace, he can let His Highness enter the game."

Speaking of this, her face changed slightly, "Yun Chong intends to muddy the 'water', can you do this...... Is he hinting that the Mu family is related to the death of the former crown princess? ”

When Chu Yan heard this, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Ten years ago, when the mother concubine passed away, the queen had not yet married the imperial uncle, the Mu family was friendly with the Xie family, and they were in-laws, and the Mu family had no reason to kill the mother concubine." He groaned.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes to look at the former crown princess Xie Zhanghua, who was floating next to him and listening quietly with the female ghosts.

Xie Zhanghua recalled: "I didn't have much intersection with the Mu family before I was alive, I only met a few times with Miss Mu at the banquet, and I didn't say a few words. ”

Liu Meiren on the side also chimed in, "Now this queen is indeed a good old man with a soft personality, and she can't do such a thing, as for the Mu family...... The mother of the Mu family, although it is not a good thing, the grandfather of the Mu family seems to be a sensible person, and their family is ...... It really doesn't look like it's going to hurt people. ”

The little eunuch next to him heard these words and sneered a few times.

He moved his lips, and was about to say a few words, but he didn't know what to think, and he sneered and closed his mouth.

It's just that the soul color is a little lighter, and it's almost invisible.

This is a sign that it is about to dissipate.

Shen Lingxi didn't plan to get any useful information from him, and his reaction to him was just a few side glances, and then he turned his gaze.

In the interval between her trance, Chu Yan dropped three more words on the paper: old eunuch.

He said in a deep voice: "Putting aside the clues provided by the dead souls, the only evidence that the embroidered clothes make in his hand is the portrait of the old eunuch depicted according to the dictation of the four Yu Linwei. Since Yun Chong pulled me into the bureau and made the little eunuch look like an old eunuch, this portrait is the clue he wants to give me. ”

After he mentioned this, Shen Lingxi immediately realized that the incident of "the old eunuch was the murderer of the former crown princess" was told to her by Xie Zhanghua's ghost.

The clues placed on the bright side, Yun Chong only gave the portrait of the old eunuch.

Shen Lingxi: "There are only portraits, and there is no way for His Royal Highness to associate the death of the former crown princess with the old eunuch, so ...... In order to muddy the waters of the Great Zhou, in the next step, whether Yun Chong identified the Mu family or framed the Mu family, he would definitely hand over the evidence of the connection between the old eunuch and the death of the former crown princess to His Royal Highness? ”

Chu Yan nodded appreciatively, "So, for now, the plan is to wait and see what happens, and when they make another move, they can grab each other's tails and capture them." ”

Shen Ling's eyes shone slightly.

If you want to catch Yun Chong, it's not that troublesome.

When she became a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, she didn't wander around Yun Chong, and she knew everything about the hidden stakes he had set up in the capital.

Through those dark piles, you can find Yun Chong's hiding place.

At that time, he will be arrested in the Beiya, and he will be tried for a good trial, and the conspiracy and trickery will be clearly examined.

However, Shen Lingxi also has his own scruples.

If she revealed that she knew too much in front of Chu Yan, it would cause him to suspect her identity for no reason.

After all, Shen Lingxi never thought of telling him his true identity and origin.

First, the relationship between her and Chu Yan is just a contractual cooperation, and there is no need to explain these things to him.

Second, her experience is extremely bizarre, maybe one day she will return to heaven and earth, but there is no need to add another person to grieve for her.

Naturally, she would not say it easily.

Although she didn't say it on the surface, she secretly had many other ways to send these secret piles to Chu Yan.

The premise is that you have to go back to Beijing first.

Shen Lingxi lowered his eyes, "In this case, then we should return to Beijing as soon as possible, maybe Yun Chong's next move is already waiting for us in the capital." ”

"Let's have lunch and let's go." Chu Yan put down the pen in his hand, folded the piece of paper full of words, and put it in his sleeve.

Only then did he raise his eyes and look at Shen Lingxi, "But before I go back to Beijing, I have to go to a place first." ”

Shen Lingxi had vaguely guessed where he was going.

But on his face, he couldn't help but show flaws, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Where is Your Highness going?" ”

Chu Yan's gaze fell on her, and he said meaningfully: "You'll know when you get there." ”

*

Xu felt that the relationship between the two was much closer than when they left Beijing.

This time, when he set off from the imperial tomb to return to Beijing, Chu Yan did not ride a horse again, but rode in the same carriage with Shen Lingxi.

On the way, Chu Yan was still reading official documents on the table by the window as before.

And Shen Lingxi was bored, so she opened the little red burden that her little aunt gave her when she left the Shouling Palace.

As soon as he saw the things in the baggage, Shen Lingxi's eyes immediately turned red, and his tears couldn't stop falling.

Yunguo people have a custom of marrying their daughters, and the mother has to embroider the "lucky bag" for her daughter to marry.

Inside this bag is a lucky bag embroidered with auspicious patterns, including a mirror bag, a gentleman's bag, a bodhisattva bag and a bottle bag......

These blessing bags contain spiritual talismans and copper coins, implying the mother's deep blessing and love for her married daughter.

After her mother died of illness that year, she and her little aunt depended on each other in the medicine palace.

She regarded her little aunt as her parent, just like her mother.

In this life, Shen Lingxi never thought that she would still receive such gifts and blessings......

Although Chu Yan was dealing with official documents, the corner of his eyes looked at Shen Lingxi on the side from time to time.

Seeing that she suddenly shed tears in front of a few lucky bags, her phoenix eyes condensed slightly.

Since Chu Yan knew her, it was the first time he had seen her so sentimental, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

He put down the official document in his hand, took out a Supa, and handed it to Shen Lingxi silently.

Shen Lingxi felt out of shape, hurriedly took Supa, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

She knew that Chu Yan had always been thoughtful, and such a strange situation would definitely arouse his suspicions, so she explained: "In Yunjiang, these lucky bags are the dowry things prepared by the elders of the family for the marriage of their daughters, which means beautiful. The eldest princess knew that we were going to get married, so she specially gave this thing, it seems that she is very grateful to His Royal Highness in her heart for saving her life, and she really has a heart. ”

As she spoke, she put the lucky bags away and put them in the baggage she was carrying.

Chu Yanfeng's eyes were slightly raised, watching her every move, and said thoughtfully, "The eldest princess has a cold temperament, but she is familiar with you at first sight, and it is also a kind of fate." ”

Shen Lingxi's fingertips paused slightly, pretending to smile indifferently.

"Your Royal Highness, haven't you forgotten that Yun Yu is my sworn brother, and the eldest princess is his little aunt, I should also call him a little aunt, maybe I mentioned Yun Yu to the eldest princess today, so I will be treated with her blue eyes."

Chu Yan didn't comment, his slender finger bones picked up the official document on the table again, lowered his eyes and looked at it a few times, and asked casually: "I remember that you have never been out of the capital, and now you know a lot about Yunjiang, could it be that these are all told to you by Yun Yu?" ”

The setting of the dowry blessing bag, referring to the "dowry blessing bag" custom of Daluo Town, Shaxian County, Fujian, is an intangible inheritance of the blessing bag embroidery process.
