Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 232 The Truth
A lamp was burning in the attic, and files and books were piled on the table.

When Ling Youyao came up, she saw Fu Mingjue standing in front of the bookshelf looking for something.The warm light fell on his face, which made his facial features more exquisite and exquisite.

Fu Mingjue heard Ling Youyao's footsteps a long time ago, and when he turned his head and saw her staring at him in a daze, he asked, "What are you doing standing there?"

Facing those deep black eyes, Ling Youyao's ears were inexplicably hot, she moved unnaturally, walked to him, looked at the dazzling array of books on the shelf, and couldn't help asking: "Are these criminal files from previous years?"

"Well," Fu Mingjue took down a volume of the book casually, without concealing it, "There are also some information about the major families."

Ling Youyao was taken aback for a moment, she thought it was just a library pavilion, but unexpectedly there were so many files and tips.

Fu Mingjue holds the Xuanyu Guard in his hand, and has done many things for Fu Xiuyun these years, his hands are covered with blood, so that he has become a fearsome existence in the capital.Because of Xuan Yuwei, Fu Xiuyun had always been suspicious of Fu Mingjue, but carefully speaking, Fu Xiuyun's attitude was very strange, as if deliberately indulgent, but also as if he was helpless.

He randomly flipped through the pages of the book, then put the book back, and said, "Didn't you read the official history of Dayan last time? If you want to know something, you might as well ask me directly."

Ling Youyao straightened out her thoughts, and said seriously, "I really have something I want to tell you."

"Let's talk about it." Fu Mingjue glanced across the bookshelf on the top floor, took out a book from it, turned around, walked to the desk and sat down.

Ling Youyao was about to speak when she suddenly found a letter dropped on the ground, which should have been dropped when he picked up the book just now.I was going to pick it up and return it to him, but when I saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, I suddenly paused and hid the letter by accident.

Seeing that she did not speak out for a long time, Fu Mingjue looked back at her: "What's wrong?"

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Ling Youyao touched her earlobe, and smiled stiffly: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to tell you about this."

Fu Mingjue didn't have any doubts, and stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms, with a hint of pampering in his calm tone: "Could it be that you got into trouble and want me to clean up the mess for you?"

"No," she said, twisting her body restlessly, "this time it's really serious."

"Don't move around, just talk."

As if feeling something, Ling Youyao didn't dare to move anymore, and said: "My lord, I remember you said that Lingling was born in Qingshan Temple, right?"

"That's right," Fu Mingjue said, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"I met Miss Mu today, and I heard her mention by chance that Mrs. Mu also went to Qingshan Temple back then, and her little birthday was only one day away from Lingling's."

At first, Ling Youyao thought it was just a coincidence, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that things were not as simple as she imagined.The reason why Lingling fell into the final situation was all because of that jade pendant.Although she knew the truth, in the eyes of outsiders, Ling Ling was Su Yuming's daughter who lived abroad.

But now Mu Xiaoxiao also mentioned Qingshan Temple. If calculated according to the timeline, Mu Xiaoxiao and Ling Ling were very likely to be in Qingshan Temple together.

After a short pause, she said again: "I saw Master Jiuyun last time in Foguang Temple, and only then did I know that the fortune teller who gave Chang's fortune back then was Master Jiuyun."

"So, you suspect that Mu Xiaoxiao is the daughter of the Su family?" Fu Mingjue asked.

Ling Youyao wasn't sure: "It's just a guess, Xiaoxiao only talked to me about it today."

But Fu Mingjue said: "But this time, you guessed right."

"what?"

"Mu Xun, the commander of the Tingzhou Guard Army, and his wife had no children for many years, but they suddenly had a daughter in the autumn of the 12th year of Shunhe, and that year happened to be the time when the Yuguo Palace had an accident," he explained, "Tingzhou is close to Huaizhou. , the king sent people to Tingzhou to investigate, and only then did he learn that Mu Xiaoxiao is just the adopted daughter of the Mu family."

After Mu Xiaoxiao rescued Ling Youyao last time, he sent someone to check on Mu Xiaoxiao's background. Although he found out that she was not from the Mu family, he did not associate her with Ling Ling.Listening to Ling Youyao now, just confirmed what he thought in his heart.

Hearing this, Ling Youyao was puzzled: "But Lingling is already dead, why do you continue to investigate this matter?"

Fu Mingjue never thought that Ling Youyao would be so perceptive, able to see the flaws in his words at a glance.He didn't want to lie to her, and he couldn't tell her the truth, so he could only say: "This king promised someone to find a descendant of the Yan family for him."

For some reason, Ling Youyao subconsciously thought of Sun Fuzhi, and tentatively asked, "Is that person... Imperial Physician Sun?"

Fu Mingjue pursed his lips and said nothing, just buried his face in her neck, and sighed helplessly: "Why do you think of him?"

Feeling his warm and soft lips on the side of her neck, Ling Youyao couldn't help shrunk her body, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and said: "The last time Xiaoxiao and I were attacked, Doctor Sun came to the house to treat my injuries. At that time, I felt that the expression between his brows and eyes seemed familiar. But I asked Xiaoxiao, she did not have an elder brother. Until that time when I entered the palace, I saw Sun Taiyi again and asked him the same question. Although I did not hear his Answer, but judging from his behavior at the time, I guess he should have brothers and sisters."

After hearing her words, Fu Mingjue suddenly realized: "So you were thinking about these things when you stared at him intently."

Ling Youyao gently pushed him away, and said: "I know there is a secret between you and Imperial Physician Sun, but I'm not interested in your secret at all. If I hadn't heard about Qingshan Temple from the novel today, I wouldn't have thought so much. "

"This king knows." Fu Mingjue caressed the hair on her sideburns, "It's just that this king promised him that he would not mention this matter to anyone, so I didn't tell you."

Hearing his explanation, Ling Youyao felt a little weird, she looked away unnaturally, and whispered: "Got it."

"But now that you've guessed it, it's okay to tell you. Back then, Miss Yan's family was engaged to Duke Yuguo. Later, the entire Yan family was imprisoned, and the marriage was annulled. Miss Yan's family was living in a brothel because of this. After the Duke was rescued, he gave birth to a son and a daughter. But the queen mother hated the Yan family so much that she sent someone to kill Yan Hongjin. Although the two children escaped, they were separated from then on."

Ling Youyao was stunned for a while: "So, Sun Tai doctor him"

"Well," Fu Mingjue said lightly, "The jade pendant in Lingling's hand was handed over to Mrs. Chang by Yan Hongjin's maid."

"Does Doctor Sun know that Xiaoxiao might be his sister?"

Fu Mingjue replied seriously: "I haven't told him yet, but I heard from Jiang Liu that he often goes to Huixianlou to look for Mu Xiaoxiao recently."

Ling Youyao's eyes froze slightly, thinking of Mu Xiaoxiao's bumpy life experience, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The biological mother was exiled in the brothel due to family crimes. Although the brother and sister were lucky enough to save their lives, they were separated for many years.Now that we finally got a clue, and Mu Xiaoxiao was also disqualified because of his father's sin, if Sun Fuzhi found out, he would be very sad, right?
Fu Mingjue noticed the change in her mood, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"It's okay," Ling Youyao shook her head lightly, "Then when do you plan to tell Imperial Physician Sun about this?"

"Jiang Liu has already set off for Tingzhou in the afternoon. After finding out what happened to the Mu family, the king will tell him."

"Oh." Ling Youyao was thinking about the letter, a little absent-minded, "My lord, since I'm fine, can you let me go?"

Fu Mingjue put his arms around her waist and did not let go, the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc: "You have finished what you want to say, but I still have something to do."

Seeing the gloomy look in his eyes, Ling Youyao's heart skipped a beat, as if she had already predicted what would happen next.Unknowingly, the courage came out of nowhere, and quickly kissed him on the lips, and then quickly fled the scene: "You are busy with work, I won't bother you—"

"."

Fu Mingjue was slightly taken aback when he saw the back of her running away in a panic.

The warmth left on the lips is still there, but the person has disappeared.Thinking of Ling Youyao's appearance just now, he smiled again, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness, gentler than the dim twilight outside the window.
