Qi Yuning took the spirit from Lu Ze's arms, looked at Lu Ze's back carrying the lantern, and thought for a long time before saying, "Lu Shizi, be careful." ”

If Lu Ze was dragged into the water by the water ghost and died in the lotus pond, wouldn't there be no spirit in the future.

Lu Ze turned to Qi Yuning and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Lu Ze went to the lotus pond and watched the koi swimming in the crystal clear water with a lantern, and a small green turtle lying on the edge of the pool.

Lu Ze instructed the little guy on the side and said, "Go down and scoop up the little turtle." ”

"Yes."

The little guy quickly scooped up the little turtle by the pool.

Lu Ze took the little turtle and put it on the palm of his hand, this little turtle was not as big as his palm, so he took the little turtle into the courtyard and handed it to Ling Ling, "Do you want this turtle turtle?" ”

Ling Ling's eyes lit up, he took the little turtle from Lu Ze's hand, and immediately turned around and smiled: "Daddy!" It's this ghost. ”

Qi Yuning saw the little turtle in Lingling's hand, and even put Lingling on the ground, a few steps away from Lingling.

If it was really a ghost, Qi Yuning would not be so afraid.

But this green-haired turtle, she is really afraid.

Ling Linglian ran towards Qi Yuning: "Mother, kiss." ”

Qi Yuning hid behind Lichun, looked at Lu Ze with hatred and said, "Lu Ze, you know that I am afraid of turtles, and you still give Lingling a turtle to play." ”

Lu Ze said: "I forgot that the county lord is afraid of turtles." ”

Lu Ze walked to Lingling's side and said, "Lingling, your mother is afraid of turtles and turtles, give the turtle to Daddy, you go to sleep first, and then play with turtles and turtles when you wake up?" ”

Ling Ling took the little turtle and walked to Qi Yuning's side and said, "Mother, ghosts don't bite, don't be afraid, you touch the turtle." ”

Li Chun in front of Qi Yuning smiled and said to Ling Ling: "Miss Ling Ling, what the county lord is most afraid of is this green turtle. ”

Ling Ling saw that Qi Yuning was really scared, and handed the turtle to Lu Ze very sensibly: "Daddy, then you have to take good care of the ghosts and ghosts for me!" ”

Lu Ze chuckled and touched Lingling's head.

Lingling fell asleep when he returned to the room, and Lu Ze raised the turtle in the inkstone pool, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, and found the big eunuch to question.

"When King Duan fell into the water, was he dragged into it by the water ghost?"

The big eunuch trembled and said: "This matter is true, two years ago, the sacrificial ceremony, all the princes came, King Duan was standing by the pool and was caught by a faceless and long-haired water ghost and pulled down into the lake, at that time many people saw it, when we all went down to the lake to save Duan Wangye, Duan Wangye had already choked, and the water ghost was nowhere to be seen." ”

At the sacrificial ceremony two years ago, Lu Ze was indeed not here, and only later did he hear that the third uncle was drowned, and no one ever said that it was a water ghost that hurt people.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock at the door.

Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning standing at the door and said, "The county lord doesn't sleep so late?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "You threw the turtle away, I don't want Lingling to hang in front of me with the turtle tomorrow." ”

Lu Ze said: "If the turtle is thrown away, Lingling will inevitably be disappointed after waking up, tomorrow I will talk to Lingling, it is better for the turtle to stay in the lotus pond." ”

Qi Yuning saw the big eunuch on the side, and looked at her and Lu Ze curiously, presumably guessing her relationship with Lu Ze.

Qi Yuning said to the great eunuch: "What happened in the palace tonight, including the matter of the spirit, you had better rot in your stomach." ”

"Yes." The big eunuch said continuously.

After the big eunuch left, Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "Does the county lord have time to accompany me to the third uncle's tomb?" ”

"What?"

Lu Ze said: "I suspect that the death of the third uncle is not simple, the county lord has always been bold and careful, but do you want to go to the tomb together?" ”

Qi Yuning: "......"

Lu Ze said again: "The county lord should also want to know why Zhao Jie ascended the throne as emperor in the end, right?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "Does this have anything to do with your third uncle's tomb?" ”

Lu Ze said: "The cause of the third uncle's death is strange, the county lord is the martyr of the Qi family, so he won't be afraid to enter the tomb, right?" ”

Qi Yuning wrapped his body tightly and said, "No, I'm afraid." ”

Fear of the grave is not a shame.

Lu Ze smiled, and was no longer embarrassed by Qi Yuning.

……

Early the next morning, Qi Yuning took Lingling to find Princess Duan to play with Zhao Jie, planning to return after noon.

Princess Duan saw Zhao Jie and Lingling having fun, and said with guilt: "It's all my fault, so I can only let Jie'er succumb to this place." ”

Qi Yuning said slowly: "Princess Duan, why don't you take the little county king back to Shengjing City, the little county king is also His Majesty's own grandson......

Princess Duan said with red eyes: "My Shan'er has been killed tragically, I can't afford to provoke it, so I can only hide here, and I ask the ancestors of the Zhao family to bless my family Jie'er." ”

Qi Yuning asked, "Didn't Lord Shan stumble and fall into the river, and his life and death are uncertain?" ”

Princess Duan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and choked up: "Yes, she fell into the river and died." ”

Qi Yuning looked at Princess Duan, and her intuition told her that the matter of Lord Shanjun falling into the water was not so simple.

And from the perspective of Princess Duan's sadness, as if it was certain that the Lord of Shan County was dead, Qi Yuning also thought that since the Lord of Shan County could not find the corpse, there was still a possibility of survival.

As a mother, how could Princess Duan die so certainly?

After falling into the water, no one can be found, and I must hope that I will still be alive.

The Lord of Shanjun was only three years younger than Qi Yuning, and Qi Yuning especially remembered that the Lord of Shanjun was quite favored by Princess Duan.

At that time, there was only one child in the entire Duanwang Mansion, and Duanwang and Princess Duan gave all their love to the Shanjun Lord.

Princess Duan couldn't hide the sadness in the corners of her eyes, "County Lord, I'm out of shape." ”

Qi Yuning got up and said, "Lu Shizi still has something to help me over, and I am tired of the princess helping me take care of Lingling." ”

Princess Duan said: "The county lord can rest assured." ”

After Qi Yuning hurriedly left Duanwang's courtyard, he went to find Lu Ze, and when he asked, he learned that Lu Ze had gone to Duanwang's tomb.

When Qi Yuning arrived in front of King Duan's tomb, he saw Lu Ze and his two guards confronting a team of soldiers and horses.

The leader Qi Yuning also knew that he was a small general in the Qi family's army, and after withdrawing from the Qi family's army, he didn't know where he went, but he didn't expect to guard the tomb here.

"See Lord Qi!" Wang Tao saw Qi Yuning coming, knelt down and saluted.

Qi Yuning said: "You don't have to make this big gift, get up." ”

Lu Ze saw Qi Yuning coming and said, "Do you know him?" ”

Qi Yuning said: "He used to be one of my father's generals, and he still came to the palace to pay his respects during the New Year's holidays over the years. ”

Wang Tao saw Lu Ze in front of him and said: "Lu Shizi, this is the important place of the tomb of King Duan, you are not allowed to enter the tomb if you say anything, and you disturb the spirit of King Duan's underground." ”

Lu Ze frowned and said, "Can't I meet my third uncle?" ”

"Yes, please don't embarrass me Lu Shizi."

"Then what if the Dali Temple investigates the case?" Lu Ze said, "Get out of the way." ”

"What is this?"

Qi Yuning heard Princess Duan's voice and saw Princess Duan hurrying over, "Lu Shizi, county lord, what are you doing here?" ”

Lu Ze saluted to Princess Duan and said, "Third uncle, I want to go in and see the third uncle." ”

Princess Duan stood in front of the mausoleum and said, "Your third uncle has been buried in the earth, how can you go into his mausoleum and disturb his tranquility?"

Lu Ze bowed down and said, "Third uncle, I just want to find out the cause of the third uncle's death, so that he can really be buried in peace." ”

Princess Duan has always been weak and quiet, but when she heard this, she scolded loudly: "Lu Ze, are you crazy in Dali Temple?" The prince fell into the lotus pond and died, everyone saw it, what else are you checking, get out! ”

Qi Yuning saw that Princess Duan, who had always been weak and good-tempered, became so sloppy, and stepped forward to comfort Princess Duan and said: "Princess, please believe me and the prince, we really don't have any malicious intentions, the prince and the prince are also uncles and nephews who are connected by blood, and they just want justice for the prince." ”

Princess Duan said: "What justice? I don't need justice, you guys get out of here, with me today, no one wants to enter the prince's tomb! ”

Seeing this, Lu Ze was not easy to break through, in the end, Princess Duan was his third aunt.

Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze: "Let's go, it's almost noon, and if you don't go back, it'll be too late." ”

Lu Ze glanced at Qi Yuning and followed her, "The cause of death of this Duan King must not be simple. ”

Qi Yuning said slowly: "Just now, when I was talking with Princess Duan, I found that Princess Duan was determined that Lord Shan had died tragically. ”

Lu Ze said: "Let's pretend to leave and wait until midnight tonight to investigate." ”

Qi Yuning: "Do you have to be in the middle of the night?" ”

Lu Ze listened to Qi Yuning's words and said: "The third aunt is here, it's not good to rush in to investigate, wait until the middle of the night, my secret guard will control Wang Tao and them, and the third aunt will not come over so quickly." ”
