Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 446 Retribution
Xue Yuheng looked at her deeply, "By the way, are you really my junior sister?"

"if not."

Qin Luoyu thought that he was referring to the plan he made to pull Mulan into the water, and said a little helplessly, "Don't worry, the medicine won't have any side effects on Mulan, it just makes her morning sickness worse."

She paused, "I wanted to expose Ling Chengji's true colors, but I didn't go so far as to harm a pregnant woman."

Qin Luoyu felt a little guilty and uneasy for pulling the pregnant Mulan into this plan.

She actually hesitated.

But this time, she didn't want to cause more harm and turmoil because of her little sympathy and intolerance.

Just like when the fourth prince's mausoleum Qi Zhao rebelled, although Ling Junxing later turned defeat into victory, Divine Doctor Ge, Xue's family, and countless loyal ministers and generals all died in that rebellion.

Therefore, Qin Luoyu didn't hesitate too much, and took advantage of Mulan's visit to do something with her tea.

The medicine would make Mulan suffer from morning sickness, but it would not have any additional effects on her or the fetus.

She wanted to use Mulan to stimulate Ling Chengji and add fuel to his fire.

It's fine if he doesn't disagree.

If he really wanted to do something to Lord Ling, this time, none of Ling Chengji, Zhaherou, and the hidden lines behind them could escape.

However, although Qin Luoyu had good reasons for prescribing Mu Lan, facing Xue Yuheng at this moment, she still couldn't help feeling guilty and couldn't help explaining.

But she doesn't regret it either.

Xue Yuheng shook his head and sighed softly: "I didn't mean that - I just wanted to say that my junior sister lost her life in Yuankong Temple when she was pregnant with a child. If she really came back, how could she be so patient and slow to Ling Chengji?" Set up a situation. Tell the emperor directly, let the emperor kill them for you, wouldn't it be better?"

Qin Luoyu smiled slightly, "Evidence must be given to kill people, let alone Ling Chengji who killed people."

It's not that she doesn't worry about Ling Junxing.

But she didn't want Ling Junxing to kill Ling Chengji in a moment of anger because of her words, and then feel guilty later.

After all, Ling Chengji was his only remaining blood relative in this world.

If Ling Chengji was to die, it would be an unforgivable death.

She doesn't want Jun Ling to pay a little bit of debt for this.

Su Wangfu, Mulan vomited badly the day she returned from the palace.

At that time, Zhaherou was ordered to dismiss the barbarians from the north, but they were not in the mansion. Ling Chengji invited a doctor to check Mulan's pulse. The doctor said it was normal morning sickness.

However, for two consecutive days, Mulan vomited badly.

Ling Chengji was really worried, so he went to the palace to invite the imperial physician, but he still couldn't find a solution.

The imperial physician told Ling Chengji, "Mr. Xue will not return at night, why don't you go to the hidden medical hall and ask Mr. Xue to come and take a look for your wife."

Ling Chengji didn't want to invite Xue Yuheng at first.

However, he didn't want Mulan and the fetus in his womb to suffer, so he went to the hidden medical hall and invited Xue Yuheng.

After Xue Yuheng's pulse diagnosis, his expression was solemn, he hesitated to speak.

Ling Chengji dismissed all the servants, and Xue Yuheng said in a low voice that only Ling Chengji could hear: "Madam is not pregnant, it seems to be poisoned."

Xue Yuheng asked Mulan in detail what she ate, where she went, and who she had contact with on the day of morning sickness.

Knowing that Mulan had gone to the palace, Xue Yuheng immediately kept silent, took Mulan's pulse again, and said vaguely: "I misdiagnosed it, madam, it should be morning sickness."

Xue Yuheng took a pen and wrote Zhang's pregnancy-protecting prescription, then left in a hurry.

Xue Yuheng's reaction made Ling Chengji suspicious.

He immediately secretly recalled Zhaherou to the mansion.

"It's indeed poisoning, but the poison is not serious. It just makes Madam suffer from severe morning sickness and suffer a lot."

Zha Herou's words were much more straightforward than Xue Yuheng's, "Looking at the entire Night City, the only one who can poison Madam in such a silent manner, apart from Xue Yuheng and me, is the one in the palace."

Zhaherou prescribed a medicine, Ling Chengji cooked the medicine himself, fed it to Mulan, and Mulan's vomiting stopped as expected.

When Mulan fell asleep, Ling Chengji returned to the study.

Zha Herou followed in, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Since she dared to attack Madam, she must have remembered the past. Your Highness, since the Emperor ordered His Highness to go to Daishan to prepare for the ceremony, It can be said that this is a god-given opportunity, and I hope His Highness will not hesitate any longer."

Ling Chengji was silent for a long time, "Let me think about it again."

Qin Luoyu remembered the past, but he didn't kill Mulan and him, but only taught Mulan a small lesson.

If she vents her anger, she can let Mulan and the child go.

Mulan no longer vomited, her diet began to return to normal, and her spirits improved.

Relieved, Ling Chengji set off for the Daishan Palace to prepare for the sacrifice to heaven and autumn hunting. Before leaving, he asked Zhaherou to take good care of Mulan.

Zhaherou always remembered what Ling Chengji said to think about it.

She waited in King Su's mansion for almost 20 days, during which time she sent letters to Ling Chengji several times, asking about his decision.

However, Ling Chengji never replied to her.

Zhaherou sent people to Daishan overnight to meet Ling Chengji in person, and he must obtain a letter of approval.

In the end, Ling Chengji only gave her two words: "Let's talk."

It was late at night when Zhaherou received the message with these two words.

At the same time, she got another news: Ling Chengji had submitted a letter of resignation to Ling Junxing, hoping that after the end of the sacrifice ceremony and autumn hunting, he could bring Mulan back to Jizhou City, and truly be a idler.

Ling Junxing did not persuade Ling Chengji to stay, but agreed to Ling Chengji's request.

In the dark night, Zhaherou stared coldly at the direction of Mulan's hospital.

His Highness is now so indecisive and indecisive, all thanks to Mulan.

When meeting Mulan, His Highness's desire to do great things faded away.

Right now, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, and His Highness cannot help hesitating.

Since His Highness refused to act according to the original plan, she had no choice but to help His Highness.

*
The night before the empress and the civil and military officials were about to leave for Mount Dai.

A fire broke out in Su Wang's mansion in the middle of the night, and the fire started from Mulan's room. Mu Lan had no time to escape and died tragically in the mansion.

The fire was so great that no one in Su Wang's mansion could escape.

This incident alarmed Ling Junxing, he came to King Su's mansion overnight to check the situation, Qin Luoyu insisted on coming with him.

When Mulan was found, she was completely unrecognizable, and she was still holding a blackened and mutilated baby shoe in her hand.

In the place Mulan held tightly in her palm, she could vaguely discern the original color of the little shoe, which was the most beautiful cherry pink in spring.

Qin Luoyu felt pity in his heart, and turned his head away, unable to bear to look any further.

Lord Ling was about to protect her in his arms, and sent her back to the carriage, not allowing her to get down again.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice ran over sweating profusely, saying that a survivor had been found in the mansion, and Ling Junxing hurriedly left with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Xue Yuheng also came from the hidden medical hall, Qin Luoyu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at him.

He shook his head slightly.

This fire has nothing to do with him, Wei Wuji, or Jueying.

Qin Luoyu frowned.

In this night city, no one knows the identity of King Su, and no one would dare to break ground on Tai Sui.

Moreover, King Su's mansion is heavily guarded, and it is definitely not that easy to break into King Su's mansion.

Could it be that the people of King Su's mansion were guarding against themselves and setting the fire on their own? ?
The survivor of King Su's Mansion only had time to say "someone set fire" before dying, hardly providing any useful clues.

The Ministry of Punishment is on the verge of a formidable enemy.The nine gates were closed all night and night, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent countless people to search the city, intending to catch and hunt down the murderer who set fire to King Su's mansion.

When Ling Chengji received the news and rushed back day and night, his eyes were thick blue, his hair was messed up, and his face was extremely pale.

He hugged Mulan and remained motionless for a long time.

At this moment, any words of comfort are useless.

Yiling Junxing just stood aside silently, without saying anything.

Ling Junxing couldn't empathize with Ling Chengji's pain.

Back then at Yuankong Temple in Meicheng, when he hugged Qin Luoyu, who was pregnant with Liujia, the grief that would destroy the world was just like that of Ling Chengji at this moment.

Ling Chengji finally put down Mulan and got up slowly.

Ling Junxing slowed down his voice: "The Ministry of Punishment is arresting the murderer, and I will definitely give an explanation to my elder brother."

Ling Chengji's eyes were dead silent, like a pool of stagnant water that even the light could not penetrate.

He stared straight at Ling Junxing, as if he was asking Ling Junxing, or himself, and murmured: "Murderer. Can this murderer really be caught?"

Ling Junxing said in a deep voice, "Naturally."

Ling Chengji laughed, laughed, but shed tears.

"Jun Xing, you really don't know who the murderer is?"

Ling Junxing frowned: "What do you mean, big brother?"

Ling Chengji said bitterly: "It's nothing, I just asked casually."

On the way back, he ran into Zhaherou, who was injured and almost lost his life.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, someone could set fire to King Su's mansion in the middle of the night, including Mu Lan and so many guards, not one of them was left behind.

Among them, if there is no acquiescence of Ling Junxing, I am afraid that no one can do it.

But his second brother, his second brother.

In vain, he really believed Ling Junxing's words, and really thought that Qin Luoyu couldn't remember the past.

In vain, he still wished to think that resigning from office and going back to seclusion would bring peace to him and Mulan.

This fire is clearly intended to treat the person in his own way.

What he did to Qin Luoyu three years ago is now taking revenge on Mulan and the child in her womb.

As expected, he should listen to Zhaherou's words and seek the chance of life first.

*
Mulan's funeral was extremely simple.

Although Mulan has always been called Madam by Ling Chengji, she has not been canonized as Concubine Su, so the funeral cannot be grand.

The date of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven could not be delayed, so Ling Jun took Qin Luoyu with him, and led all the officials to set off for Mount Dai.

Only Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was ordered by Ling Junxing to stay in Buyedu to thoroughly investigate the fire in Suwang's mansion.

As for Ling Chengji, after holding the funeral for Mulan, he still rushed to Daishan on the grounds of his duty.

Ling Chengji's mood was calmer than anyone imagined.

He arranged the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and the autumn hunting in an orderly manner, taking everything into consideration, taking everything into consideration.

In addition to sympathizing with King Su's experience, everyone respected him even more.
