Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 87 The Death of Aunt Lan (4)
Zi Su lowered her head, "Sister, you must not say that. My sister is young and ignorant. But my parents have taught me since I was a child that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Even though Sister Lan is guilty, she is still my sister's master. What's more, maybe she was forced to do nothing today. How can my sister let her be wronged?"

snort!Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly in her heart, and was about to say something else.King Zhongyi was getting impatient.

"Then why did she die here?" It's really troublesome, why didn't he realize that these women were so jealous and squabbled before?

Zisu choked, then raised her head, tears streaming down her face.

"As soon as my concubine asked about this, my sister kept silent, saying that it was my concubine who couldn't offend that person." She wept, "That's when I found out, it turned out that someone really ordered my sister, so she did it." I made a big mistake. But my sister seemed to have some difficulties and was unwilling to say the name of that person. I was in a hurry, so I grabbed her shoulders and asked. But my sister suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, looking terrified , as if thinking of something terrible. The concubine saw that she seemed to want to say something, so she listened to her, and only listened to her sister intermittently about the death of Princess Ping, about poisoning... Then my sister... went... ..." She couldn't help crying when she said this, "This concubine is really terrified..." She trembled all over, as if she was really half frightened by Lan's death.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth, she was such a sharp-tongued fox.He had a surprised look on his face.

"According to Sister Zi, is Sister Lan poisoned?" Seemingly inadvertently, she looked at Mrs. Lan who was dying, and exclaimed. "My lord, the blood at the corner of Lanmei's mouth is black."

King Zhongyi's face was gloomy, and when he walked over to take a closer look, his face became even more gloomy.He took a deep look at Zisu.

"Who let you out?"

Zi Su was taken aback, shouldn't she first investigate the cause of Aunt Lan's death, and then find out who is behind the scenes?But it's better for her.

"This king asks you, who is so bold as to disobey this king's order and let you out?" Seeing that she was silent, King Zhongyi's tone became even colder.

Zisu shuddered, lowered her head and muttered, "I... I fainted the guards and ran out secretly."

"You are quite courageous." King Zhongyi's face was neither happy nor angry, and his tone changed from indifference to indifference.

Zisu hung her head and said nothing, as long as the prince doesn't suspect that Aunt Lan was killed by her, it's fine, and I'll talk about the rest later.

After a while, King Zhongyi ordered lightly.

"Come here, Aunt Lan died suddenly, and she was buried with honor! Aunt Zi lifted the ban on her own, and she will be banned for half a year."

Eh?Mrs. Zhang and the others were astonished, but Zisu was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, the concubine will go back now, and promise not to step out of the room without the order of the prince."

"My lord?" Seeing that Zisu escaped like this, Mrs. Zhang cried out unwillingly, but was cut off by King Zhongyi with a cold look.

Outside the window, a black shadow flicked across.

There were many shadows in the trees, a man and a woman stood in the dark, staring at the direction where the shadow passed.

"My lord, do you want to kill Zisu?" The woman's gentle voice sounded.

"No need." The man shook his head gracefully, "She can handle it by herself."

The woman was stunned, and lowered her eyes for an instant to hide the gloom in her eyes.

"Do you have any orders, sir?"

The man pondered for a while, "How is the investigation going on?"

The woman lowered her head guiltily, "I've checked, and none of them have such a fate. Young master, do you remember wrongly?"

"No!" The man's clear eyes turned slightly, and when they flowed like waves, softness and coldness merged, forming a unique charm that made people fall in love with it.His voice is light, but there is an unquestionable determination.

"Five-Star Lianzhu has already hinted that two of the descendants of the five generals are in the capital, and gold and water are adjacent. In other words, there is a descendant of General Nai Shui beside you."

The woman nodded, "I will continue to investigate, please rest assured, Young Master."

"En." The man nodded, his eyes passed through the night and fell to a corner to the west, which was the location of Yunmengju.

Inside Yunmeng's residence, Fengying knelt on the ground and reported what he saw and heard just now.

Ling Xihan narrowed her eyes, "Does Aunt Lan really not know how my mother died?"

Fengying said: "Aunt Zi kept questioning Aunt Lan about the cause of Princess Ping's death. Aunt Lan really didn't know about it, but she seemed a little skeptical just by looking at her expression. The subordinate originally wanted to save Aunt Lan so that the lady could interrogate her. I don't want to, the prince will go to the ancestral hall at this time."

The corner of Ling Xihan's mouth curled into a sneer, "Of course the father will go, otherwise the princess's play will be for nothing?"

princess!That woman is really not to be underestimated.

Feng Ying was slightly stunned, and finally asked aloud.

"Forgive me for being stupid, miss, today's incident has nothing to do with the princess, why is the lady so sure that the mastermind behind the scenes is the princess?"

Ling Xihan leaned on the soft couch, propped her head on one hand, squinted her eyes, and said slowly: "From the beginning to the end, the only people the princess wanted to get rid of were Lan Suxin and Zisu. I guess the princess probably said something specious They attacked me. It's just that Zisu was smarter, she chose to confess to me first, and then conspired with me to bring down Lan Suxin. Lan Suxin must not be reconciled, and some news might leak out in a panic. This is Zisu thought about it carefully, and wanted to use Aunt Lan to warn and threaten the princess. But she underestimated the princess, thinking that with her father's love, she could be lawless and not look down on anyone. Since the princess was able to step by step Praise Zisu to the sky, and naturally understand her character. The Shen family is enough and scheming enough, but his heart is higher than the sky. It is always difficult for such a person to achieve great things. Defeat Lan Suxin, and then instigate her to kill Lan Suxin to silence her. Zisu also took this opportunity to ask Lan Suxin about the cause of my mother's death. If this matter is really related to the princess, then Zisu holds With the help of the princess, she can completely escape the control of the princess in the future. It's just that the princess is superior to her, and she directly asked Ling Xiyun and others to lure the father to the ancestral hall, just to witness the scene of Zisu's murder."

Fengying was shocked in his heart, the concubine's scheming was too deep.This step by step, the arrangement is seamless, no wonder it has been able to secure the position of princess for so many years.But--

"Miss, I have another question."

"Do you want to ask, my father has already doubted Zisu, why did he let her go?"

"Miss wise."

The corner of Ling Xihan's mouth curled up in sarcasm, playing with the hair on his chest.

"Since Concubine Ning hasn't come back now, if Zisu dies, who will fight against the concubine?" Now she understood that her father was not only a fool, but also very shrewd.Maybe he seldom cares about those women's fights, but he will not ignore the most critical point.Perhaps, she really underestimated this father before.
