Shang Shixu hugged Lin Jingmo, with his beloved beside him, feeling both happy and at ease in his heart.
Looking back at Lin Jingmo in his arms, listening to Shang Shixu's even breathing, she reached out and pushed Shang Shixu away, then turned away not wanting to look at him again.
Her heart was filled with hatred at this moment. She knew that she was safe only by staying with Shang Shixu, and only by staying by Shang Shixu's side could she have a chance to kill him!
Chen Minran is just the beginning. She will kill Chen Mianzheng, Qi Xuanyi and Shang Shixu one by one. She will find evidence of their collusion and redress for her father!
With his enemy lying next to him, Lin Jingmo almost had no sleep all night. When he opened his eyes again, all the sunlight had entered the room.
Lin Jingmo sat up and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly he felt that his body was not as cold as before. Lin Jingmo shook his head. He didn't expect that Shang Shixu would be useful by his side...
Suddenly realizing that she slept with Shang Shixu last night, Lin Jingmo quickly turned around and looked at the other side of the bed, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She should have thought that with how cautious Shang Shixu was, how could she not sleep until this time?
Go.
Mother Liu brought some water basins and pushed open the door. Seeing Lin Jingmo wake up, she shook her head and said with a smile: "It's time to change the dressing, Mo'er, you finally woke up. I came here several times this morning and saw you sleeping deeply."
I didn’t wake you up. Does your body still hurt?”
Lin Jingmo nodded and said, "It's getting better now. Thank you, Mother Liu!"
Mother Liu looked at Lin Jingmo in surprise, and then said with a bad smile: "What happened? How come I see you smiling all over your face? You should say it or not, but you look really good when you smile!"
Lin Jingmo reached out and touched his face, then lowered his face after realizing it.
"I just said you look good when you smile, why do you look so down again?"
Mother Liu scooped some ointment with a wooden spoon and walked to Lin Jingmo's side. Lin Jingmo then untied her middle coat. While applying the medicine to her, Mother Liu said: "Thanks to you this time, our wife can not only
Accompanying the young prince, there is no threat from the princess... However, now Master Zhongshu Ling brings his adopted son to Chenzhou, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse... Mo'er, didn't you say you are from the capital?
?Do you recognize this Zhongshu Ling?"
Lin Jingmo looked at Liu's mother, shook her head, and said: "I am just a girl. Although I am taking orders from the princess, I don't know Master Zhongshu Ling. Besides, he is just here to see his daughter off. Even if he wants to
Looking deeper, weren't the people in the Fragrant Garden gone? Even if he was doubtful and had no evidence, could he still do anything to the prince? Even if he didn't take the prince seriously, the prince was still young. In his opinion,
The prince is his only flesh and blood in the world. If he does not look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha, for the sake of the prince, he will not do anything rashly."
After that, Lin Jingmo tied the belt of his middle coat again, looked at Liu's mother meaningfully and said: "Even if he really noticed it, the prince can hand me over to take the blame and spare my life, right?
To die for him at the critical moment?"
Liu's mother was stunned and quickly said: "How could it be possible? It was Mrs. Qing who felt deeply for you and begged her to the death, so the prince allowed you to continue living! Besides, not everyone in the Fragrant Garden is gone, her maid
Xiuzhi and wet nurse Su are still here."
Lin Jingmo frowned slightly. At least in her opinion, Xiuzhi was not a person seeking glory. How could the prince dare to keep her?
Mother Liu saw her doubts, so she said: "Even between masters and servants, there will inevitably be grudges. Whether it is Xiuzhi or Su, they are all willing to say the same thing and say that the princess died of the epidemic. It is not up to him."
Don’t believe it!”
Lin Jingmo curled his lips and said: "Yes, in this case, we don't have to worry. I will definitely remember Mrs. Qing's kindness to me, and naturally, it is appropriate to die for her."
……
Since Chen Minran came to Chenzhou, she has been aggrieved, because just the day before Chen Minran's death, she sent a letter to Chen Minran, saying in the letter that the serious problem would be eliminated soon. They had frequent correspondence between their father and daughter. In order to
Beware of someone intercepting the letter and discovering its secrets. The two of them rarely write letters that are too clear.
Therefore, Chen Mianzheng did not know what the serious illness mentioned in Chen Minran's letter was? But writing the letter proved that at least at that time, Chen Minran had not contracted the disease. Why did she die on the second day? p>
Although Chen Mianzheng asked Xiuzhi and Chen Minran's wet nurse Su Mama, what they said was exactly the same as what Qi Xuanyi said. It was clear that they had already prepared the same rhetoric. This made Chen Mianzheng
I can't help but feel suspicious.
Shang Shixu saw everything in his eyes. He knew that there was indeed something fishy about Chen Minran's death. Moreover, because Lin Jingmo stayed in the palace, it must have something to do with it. However, he did not want to delve into the cause of Chen Minran's death.
I want to hide Lin Jingmo's traces as much as possible, and I also hope that this matter can be concluded as soon as possible.
Sure enough, the next day, Chen Mianzheng made a special trip to Shang Shixu to discuss: "Over there in Nanling, I heard that there was a civil uprising, and a group of unruly people started to act arrogantly for any reason!"
Hearing this, Shang Shixu hurriedly asked: "Xiaoguan also received a letter from the court last night. It said that the people were revolting because the court was increasing taxes nearby, and corrupt officials were killing people, so this disaster happened...
”
Chen Mianzheng said: "No matter what the reason, evil people will always be evil people! Just suppress it directly. It coincides with the peace in the north, and General Lu Feicheng returned to Beijing to receive the reward. Your Majesty originally intended for him to stay in Beijing, but now he is out of this position.
He himself asked for orders to come and suppress it. What I mean is that Chenzhou is not far from Nanling. Why don't you go with him and take a look at some of Nanling's accounts, and those that should be destroyed will be destroyed."
Shang Shixu was a little surprised when he heard this: Chen Minran had just finished his funeral arrangements. Chen Mianzheng was clearly wondering about the cause of his daughter's death, but now he asked him to leave first. Could it be that he had discovered Lin Jingmo!
Shang Shixu stood up and walked out, replying: "My adopted sister's body is still cold, and the cause of her death has not yet been found. How could Shixu leave like this..."
"Didn't you say that she was infected with the epidemic?" Chen Mianzheng calmly picked up the tea cup and drank tea while raising his eyes to glance at Shang Shixu. He put the tea cup down silently and then said again:
"Is it possible, Shijiu, that you also think that my Min'er was killed?"
Shang Shixu's eyes were deep and elusive. He raised his eyes to meet Chen Mianzheng's eyes and said, "Shixu thinks that there may be something hidden at this time...Has the adoptive father ever met the crown prince?"
Chen Mianzheng said nothing and nodded slightly.
Shang Shixu lowered his eyes, making it difficult to see his emotions, and said slowly: "Then... has your adoptive father met a lady in this mansion?"
