A sigh passed silently in her heart. She glanced at Yilan, who had been standing next to Tong Jia. She didn't know what she was thinking. It wasn't until Nian was impatient with waiting that someone heard a voice, "Ring, I'm wearing it this morning."
I gave it to her when my son came to Jingsiju."
Nian sneered, obviously not believing her words, but still turned around and asked: "Yilan, your sister said that the ring is with you, is it true?"
Yilan's heart jumped violently, and just when she opened her mouth to speak, Tong Jia was already there before her and said: "Yilan has been staying in Lanxin Pavilion from last night to now, and has never left. Why?"
Maybe I went to Jing Si Ju, maybe my sister forgot about it, right?"
Ling Ruo's face changed slightly and returned to normal. She looked at Yilan who was about to speak but said softly: "Lan'er, don't be nervous. Just tell the prince whether you have been to Jing Si Ju today."
"I..." Yilan twisted the handkerchief in her hand hard, and just when she didn't know how to answer, Tong Jiashi had already shaken her hand and said: "Lan'er, Zheng's matter is not a trivial matter. You must think it over carefully before proceeding.
Answer, don’t give the wrong answer.”
To others, these words sounded like good-natured consolation, but Yilan knew clearly that she was warning herself that she was the one who asked Ling Yao for the ring. No matter what the reason was, it was hard to escape from this fact. If she told the truth at this time,
, Tong Jia will certainly be in trouble, but it will be difficult for her to escape, not to mention that ring...
People are often selfish when it comes to themselves.
After weighing for a long time, Yilan gritted her teeth and said something that made Ling Ruo sad, "I...I don't know what my sister is talking about. I have been in Lanxin Pavilion all day, how could I go to Jingsi Ju to ask my sister for a ring?"
Woolen cloth!"
"Lan'er, do you know what you are talking about?" Ling Ruo couldn't believe her ears. Yilan was telling lies with her eyes open. Is she crazy?!
Yilan lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, but the words she just said reached everyone's ears clearly. Nian sneered and said sarcastically: "Ling Fujin's calculation is really good. He can't get the ring."
You want to shift the responsibility to your sister, but luckily Yilan understands justice and doesn't cover up this lie for you."
Before Ling Ruo could defend herself, she already said to Yinzhen, who had been silent, "Your Majesty, although there is currently no evidence to prove that Zheng's disappearance was caused by Niu Hulu, there must be an inseparable relationship between the two.
I think that Niu Hulu should be interrogated properly."
Yinzhen's eyes flickered on and off under the candlelight, making it difficult to see clearly. After a long time, a low-alcoholic voice sounded in the night, "What's the motive? Su Yan, why do you think Ling Ruo did this?"
"This..." Yinzhen's words made Nianshi unable to respond. Yes, what was Niu Hulu's reason for doing this? Jealousy? This obviously doesn't make sense.
Yinzhen didn't give her any more time to think about it, and said calmly: "Don't jump to conclusions without real evidence. We can wait until we find Zheng!"
As soon as this statement came out, not only the Nian family, but also the Nala family and the Tong Jia family were shocked and inexplicable. In this situation, Yinzhen said this clearly to deliberately favor the Niu Hulu family. What does this mean?
, both of them knew in their hearts that this was not a good thing for them.
Nala was the first to come to his senses, nodded and echoed: "What the prince said is that the most important thing now is to find the Zheng family, and other things can be investigated slowly."
"Why not, send someone to search Dongling Pavilion front and back, maybe there will be clues." Tong Jia's suggestion was approved by Yinzhen, and he ordered Gou'er and Zhou Yong to each lead a team from elsewhere.
The guards came and searched Dongling Pavilion carefully.
Although Tong Jia stood quietly on one side after saying this and said nothing, Lingruo still caught a subtle hint of expectation from her expression.
Lowering his head, with an invisible smile, he slowly stroked his fingers from the skirt of his clothes. The clothes made of fine brocade would not feel any irritation, but for the sake of beauty, they had many flowers embroidered on them.
, ruining the original smoothness of the satin.
Gou'er and Zhou Yong were both people around Yinzhen who were very particular about efficiency. The search was completed in less than half an hour, with only three feet left to dig. There was nothing suspicious near Dongling Pavilion.
This answer was beyond Tong Jia's expectation. The ten fingers hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly. It was impossible. Changshou clearly said that Li Wei was knocked unconscious. How could he not be found? Did Li Wei find him before they came?
Already woke up and left? Impossible. Changshou said that he was very heavy-handed. It was impossible for Li Wei to wake up and leave before they arrived. As for after they arrived, the lights were brightly lit and guards were posted to guard Li Wei even if he woke up.
Maybe he left without a trace.
Things have progressed to this point, and for the first time something different from Tong Jiashi's imagination has occurred, which has caused waves in her originally determined heart. Suspicious eyes swept over Ling Ruo, but the latter just maintained his usual calm expression, which made her
Can't see any clues.
Originally, in Tong Jia's plan, as long as they discovered Li Wei and he had no way to explain it, the doubts about Niu Hulu would continue to expand. Coupled with her subsequent arrangements, Niu Hulu and Lingruo would definitely not be able to escape.
The eighth prince was charged with collusion.
But something went wrong just at this moment. Is it a minor accident that doesn't get in the way or a flaw that can affect the overall situation?
At this time, there was a rhythmic running sound, but it was the guard responsible for guarding the gate of the palace. When he ran to Yinzhen, he knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Prince Qi, the thirteenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.
Each of them has brought his troops to confront each other near Chaoyang Gate. The Thirteenth Master sent someone to say that the matter is of great importance and asked the Fourth Master to come over immediately."
Hearing this, Yinzhen's eyebrows, which had not relaxed all night, became even tighter. What was Old Thirteen doing? There was a commotion in the palace last time, but luckily it didn't reach the ears of Emperor Ama. Why did it just stop for a few days?
Then the trouble started again, and each time it got bigger and bigger, and people and horses were brought along.
However, Lao Shisan is not a person who does things without discretion. This time he made such a big fuss and sent someone to invite him. What happened?
Just as Yinzhen hurried towards Chaoyang Gate, the atmosphere between Yinxiang and Yinzhen was already tense.
"Old Thirteen, a good dog doesn't block the way. I spared you last time, but you still don't know me. Do you have to fight me?" Under the jumping flames, Yin Zhen looked at Yin Xiang with a fierce look on his face.
, the hand holding the knife tightened again and again, as he walked here
He was stopped by Yin Xiang who suddenly appeared at every turn. This also puzzled him. They were very secretive and careful in what they did tonight. How could Yin Xiang suddenly show up and bring many people with him?
It seemed as if he had been prepared for it.
The long knife was also held in Yinxiang's hand, and he still had the careless smile on his face, "Dog? Brother Jiu seemed to have forgotten my relationship with you when he said this. Wouldn't it be wrong for you to say that I am a dog?
You are talking about yourself, and..." He deliberately slowed down his tone and slowly said the last three words, "Huang Ama!"
