Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

On the way back to Beijing, because of Zhao Zhiyue's health, the team slowed down and walked for two hours, but they had just crossed the border of the same state.

At noon, Shen Xuhuai led people into the forest where Song Yinian was killed. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhiyue was also brought along.

Zhao Zhiyue was weak, when Zhao Guanglin was around in the past, she couldn't even bear to let her walk the road, let alone let her climb the mountain.

After walking not far, Miss Zhao couldn't hold on any longer, her little face was pale, she clutched her chest, showing pain.

"Girl, are you alright?" Qiaoling helped her to stop.

Zhao Zhiyue pulled her lips reluctantly: "No problem."

Shen Xuhuai led the people ahead, but he didn't see anyone following him for a long time. When he looked back, he saw that the person was still at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng suggested: "My lord, why don't we let Miss Zhao take the key and let's go up by ourselves? If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to find a place when it gets dark."

"Zhao Guanglin has always loved this daughter. If Song Yinian hadn't been silenced, he wouldn't have made such a plan. I'm afraid even she herself didn't know that Zhao Guanglin had given her such an important thing."

Wen Sheng fell into confusion: "But I asked the maid to check Miss Zhao's body, except for some simple jewelry, there is nothing else."

Shen Xuhuai looked at Zhao Zhiyue who was resting on the tree trunk in the distance, and said, "That's why I took her with me."

"." Wen Sheng was speechless, and after talking for a long time, the son didn't feel any pity.

Zhao Zhiyue didn't know why Shen Xuhuai brought her here, but seeing the red in the green, the gloomy eyes gradually regained their brilliance.

She remembered that day in the dark prison cell, the scorching red came into view, and there seemed to be a hint of warmth flowing through her heart.

He's actually a nice guy.
"Girl? We should go." Qiaoling's voice pulled back Zhao Zhiyue's drifting thoughts.

She looked up, and Shen Xuhuai had already walked a long way.

Zhao Zhiyue didn't want them to wait for a long time, so she forced herself to continue walking.She was pampered since she was a child, and it was very difficult for her to walk in the forest covered with dead vines and weeds.

Shen Xuhuai intentionally waited for her, and the accompanying guards also deliberately slowed down, which made her a little embarrassed, trying to keep up with his pace, but just a few steps away, there was a sharp bird song in the forest.

Zhao Zhiyue was startled suddenly, and in an instant, several black shadows flashed out of the green bushes, and the sharp knife light rushed towards his face with murderous intent, murderous intent was everywhere, and people's voices were loud.

The two groups of people fought in chaos, and the fighting during the day was more clear and profound than the assassination at night.

Zhao Zhiyue looked at the knife close at hand, her body seemed to be frozen, she forgot to call for help, and forgot to run for her life, she thought that she was probably going to die.
She was already ready to die, but at the next moment, a heavy weight was placed on her shoulders, and a huge force made her fall backwards.When she rolled down the hillside, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw the red figure piercing the enemy with a sword.

And then, it's gone and then...

The news of Shen Xuhuai's assassination and disappearance at the border of the same state quickly spread back to the capital, undoubtedly reminding people of Liu Shu who died unexpectedly a few months ago.

Fu Xiuyun immediately sent people to Tongzhou for support, and he would never allow the same thing to happen again.

The ministers stayed in the Yizheng Hall all day, and they left the palace one after another until evening.

Cai Wenbin was a little absent-minded, especially after hearing the news of Shen Xuhuai's disappearance, he always felt that the secret was more than that simple.

Thinking of Liu Shu's death, he vaguely guessed something, but seeing his father's heavy and vicissitudes back, he suddenly lost the courage to speak.

His younger sister entered the palace as a concubine, his first wife passed away suddenly, and the home he cared about ceased to exist a long time ago.Now that cold mansion stood there, but he had the idea of ​​escaping.

The Cai family is no longer the former Cai family, and everyone has changed.

They bear the same surname, live under the same roof, hypocritically and carefully maintain the so-called kinship, but the blood flowing in their bones has long been different.

Cai Wenbin didn't want to go back to that deserted home, so he told his father and went to Dali Temple.

Ling Qingyan watched his thin figure disappear into the twilight, feeling a sense of melancholy: "He is also a poor man—"

Mo Shu poked his head out from behind him: "My lord, are you here to wait for him on purpose?"

"Yes," Ling Qingyan admitted frankly, "From the perspective of the Cai family, only Cai Wenbin behaves like a gentleman, so if we want to find out the secrets of the Cai family, we need to start with him."

Mo Shu felt that relying on a gentleman's bearing alone was not reliable: "But he is the eldest son of the Cai family, so how could he do something unfavorable to the Cai family?"

"It's true that he is the eldest son of the Cai family, but his younger sister was sent to the palace by Cai Yuan, and his wife died because of it. If this is not enough, then I have to tell him about that."

Mo Shu's curiosity was completely aroused: "What's the matter?"

Ling Qingyan didn't intend to hide it: "Four years ago, the imperial concubine Huimin died of illness, and the last person she saw was Cai Yuan. Although I don't know what happened that day, but the night after Cai Yuan left the palace, the imperial concubine hanged herself. It is precisely because of this that His Majesty will be alienated from the Cai family."

It is a serious crime for a concubine to kill herself, and it will affect her mother's family. Cai Yu often goes to and from the palace, so how could she not know about it?

When she found this place, Ling Qingyan also felt strange, what exactly happened that made Cai Yu want to die regardless of the fate of his family?It's a pity that the old man who served in Changchun Palace has long been executed, and the only way to find out the truth is from the Cai family.

Mo Shu still hesitated when he heard this: "But that's all, can Mr. Cai promise us?"

"Besides that, there is another thing," Ling Qingyan continued, "After the death of the imperial concubine Huimin, the wife of the Cai family, that is, Cai Wenbin's mother, became ill and passed away not long after. The doctor who treated Mrs. Cai said that Mrs. Cai died not from a cough, but from poisoning."

"What?!" Mo Shu cried out in surprise, realized something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth, "Master, according to what you said, Mrs. Cai was poisoned?"

"Yes."

At first, the doctor was not aware of Mrs. Cai's poisoning, and it was not until later that he gradually realized that something was wrong.

The water in the big family was deep, and the doctor was afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn't dare to say more. After going there twice, he found an excuse to leave the capital.If Ling Qingyan hadn't followed the clues to find him, he might have forgotten that such an incident happened in the Cai family.

As the sky was getting darker, Ling Qingyan looked up at the plaque hanging high, on which the words "Dali Temple" were impressively written.

Shen Xuhuai was assassinated in Tongzhou, presumably they found out some secrets, the Cai family acted in such a hurry, it seems that they decided to do something.

Ling Qingyan let out a deep breath and said, "Let's go, we don't have much time left."

His mother was poisoned at home, and with Cai Wenbin's intellect, it is not difficult to guess the reason, and his wife and younger sister were also involved.

Therefore, Ling Qingyan was sure that Cai Wenbin would be willing to cooperate with him.
