"If you take her away, you will fall out with me. If you don't take her away, aren't you forcing her to death? Then Chu Xiner will be said to be forced to death because of me. I can't bear the blame.
"
Manmiao's words made Qin Qifeng fall into silence. Seeing his father not speaking for a long time, Manmiao became anxious and tapped his finger on the table to bring him back to his senses, "What are you here for? Don't persuade me and Jiang Shanghe again.
Okay? Let’s get down to business.”
Only then did Qin Qifeng remember that he really had something serious to do when he came to find his daughter.
Before he could speak, he heard Lan Ting's voice coming from the door. He immediately shut up and said a few words to Man Miaoxian.
His actions let Manmiao know that what Qin Qifeng was talking about was definitely related to Lan Ting's secret meeting with those barbarians, but Lan Ting came back before he could say anything, so he couldn't continue talking.
Lan Ting came in to chat with Qin Qifeng and warmly invited him to have dinner together. Manmiao thought Qin Qifeng would not agree, but unexpectedly he readily agreed and had a sumptuous dinner with them happily. During this period, he
The two of them talked and laughed with Lan Ting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Those who didn't know it thought he considered Lan Ting his son-in-law.
As Manmiao watched, she secretly sighed that these politicians were really capable actors. At least, she couldn't do it.
After finally waiting for Qin Qifeng to leave, Manmei wanted to ask Lan Ting what happened, but he refused to tell her. He kept moving erratically, making her unable to concentrate on asking questions.
When it comes to hiding things, Manmiao can definitely hide things! Jiang Shang has been with her for several days without noticing anything unusual about her. But when it comes to saying that she doesn't want to hide things, she doesn't bother to explain it, and just says
He coldly rejected Lan Ting.
The biggest difference between Lan Ting and Jiang Shang is that he is a man who understands women's thoughts very well. He is keenly aware of the bad mood of Mei Mei and is very repulsive to him.
Combined with what Zhuxiang told her, he knew that Manmei knew about the deal between him and the Hu people. She was only angry because he hid it from her. Just as he was about to explain it to her, he heard the boy coming to report, saying that it was
A monk came.
Manmiao was angry in her heart when she heard that the monk was coming. Her first reaction was to explain to the bald man, but Lan Ting's face was filled with joy and he kept telling him to come quickly.
Then it occurred to me that Jie Hui was also a monk, and he might have come.
Lan Ting has been putting in a lot of effort to win over Jie Ai these days, but he's not sure who Jie Ai is looking for.
Manmei thought, if she didn't want to leave, let's see what Lan Ting would do. While he was talking to Jie Ai, if there was really something between Jie Ai and Lan Ting that she couldn't know, she would leave right away, not even a minute later.
With hesitation.
The abstention came very suddenly, and he was still wearing the shabby monk's robes. At first glance, he could tell that he was a traveling monk, so he didn't attract too much attention.
He walked in, saw Manmei, and glanced at Lan Ting hesitantly.
With just one movement, he knew that he was here to see Lan Ting. Manmiao deliberately sat still to see what Lan Ting's attitude would be.
Lan Ting smiled and shook her hand and said, "Don't mind, I have nothing to hide from her."
After hearing this, Manmiao felt a little better mentally, and the expression on her face relaxed.
After quitting his anger, he closed the door and Lan Ting also retreated.
Wait until you are sure no outsiders are around.
Jie Ai then said, "I remember that the prince of the Lan Kingdom died in front of the late emperor?"
Lan Ting nodded, "That's true."
This is not a particularly secretive matter. Everyone in the Lan Kingdom knows that the current emperor Lan Ling became the emperor directly from the emperor's grandson.
Jiehe glanced at Lan Ting and dropped a huge bomb.
"To be honest, I went to Fahua Temple and heard that there are some clues that can lead to the discovery of the royal tomb of the Blue Kingdom." Jiehe said calmly.
Lan Ting suddenly stiffened, and it took him a few seconds to calm down, "What did you find?"
Just by looking at this reaction, Manmiao felt that Lan Ting was definitely a big shot, and he could calm down when someone digs up his ancestral grave!
"Your father was poisoned to death." After Jiehe finished speaking, he felt a sense of relief and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go on." Lan Ting supported his forehead with his hand and did not raise his head. He kept his head lowered and blocked his eyes with his hand so that his expression could not be seen. But with him like this, everyone knew that he was not in a good mood.
"I have dug many graves and seen the bones of many people. The bones of those who died of normal illness are white. The bones of those who were poisoned have blackened bones due to poison accumulation in the body.
I saw the bones of your father. Most of his body was black. He must have been poisoned to death slowly. If it was poisoned suddenly, there wouldn't be so many black bones."
Manmei believes in quitting anger, and thinks there is a certain scientific basis. The poisons in ancient times were not highly toxic like sodium cyanide. If you slowly ingest the toxins, it is possible that they will be reflected on the bones. The American TV series Bones is not
Are they all like this? You can tell a lot from the bones.
Jie Ai is a professional tomb robber, and he doesn't know how many skills he has passed down from his ancestors. At least he can still clearly distinguish between those who died from poison and those who died from illness.
"What evidence do you have?" Lan Ting rubbed his face with both hands vigorously and asked.
"I can't produce any evidence now. If I want evidence, I have to destroy your father's body. I can bring out some bones for you to find someone to examine." After all, he was the late emperor of the Lan Kingdom. He was not angry about this.
He was more cautious and did not bring the corpse out rashly.
Lan Ting raised his head and looked at Jie Ai with a very cautious expression, "Can you guarantee that no one will know?"
Jie looked at him angrily, "If anyone knew, could I still be alive to find you?"
Lan Ting took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Take out a piece of bones. I must find someone to find out what poison my father died from."
Jie nodded angrily, "Avoid those people and go in. Including the round trip time, it will take at least ten days."
He acted very calmly, saying it was ten days, so it wouldn't be much earlier. Manmei had no right to speak, so she could only look at Lan Ting, who nodded, "Thank you. I wonder what Master needs?"
What he said was very artistic. It can be understood as what the master needs to retrieve the bones this time. It can also be understood as, if you help me do this, what kind of reward will you need in the future.
Lei Feng, who was not interested in helping others, simply stated his request after a pause, "Your Highness is indeed very happy!"
I didn't want much. There was one thing I needed in the late emperor's underground palace. I took it, hoping that I wouldn't be held accountable in the future. Except for the thing I wanted, I didn't touch any of the burial items in the late emperor's underground palace.
None of the mechanisms were damaged.
After I took your things, I naturally had to do something for you. After I finish it, we will be settled."
