All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

The bright moonlight spread a layer of clear light on Chu Yan's slightly pale face, giving his handsome and deep face a kind of cool brilliance.

He looked at Shen Lingxi and said eloquently: "King An's mother concubine Lianfei is surnamed Liang, and his father Liang Dezhang served as the commander of Suzhou City during his lifetime. Liang Dezhang has a son named Liang Qing under his knees. He is a rare general, and he and my aunt are childhood sweethearts. If it wasn't for the trip to the lake, the person my aunt would marry should have been Liang Qing."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, she remembered the rumors about the eldest princess and the son-in-law in the capital.

It is said that the eldest princess originally looked down on Cui Jin, and one day she accidentally fell into the water while boating on the lake, and was rescued by Cui Jin, so she had to marry him.

This is also just confirmed, just now she heard from Yuzhu, what Eunuch Chang said to Cui Jin, "At the beginning, in order to keep the heart of the eldest princess for the Zhao family, the son-in-law did not hesitate to marry and bear the humiliation..."

It can be seen from this that it was not what the Zhao family wanted when the eldest princess wanted to marry Liang Qing.Perhaps the falling into the water was the result of the collusion between the Zhao family and Cui Jin.

After Shen Lingxi thought of this, she simply told Chu Yan what Yuzhu had heard.

Chu Yan raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealed a look of surprise, "The Duke of Wei's residence and the Duke of Dongchang's residence are related by marriage. Cui Jin and Concubine Zhao are about the same age, so it is reasonable to know each other."

In the past few days, after repeatedly confirming that Shen Lingxi's words in the name of "ghost theory" are true, now he directly chooses to believe Shen Lingxi's words.

Shen Lingxi asked again suspiciously: "It is rumored that after half a year of marriage, the eldest princess changed her mind with the son-in-law. Since then, she has been in harmony with the son-in-law. They are very affectionate. With the eldest princess's temperament, since she has feelings for Liang Qing, she should not Feel free to fall in love with the son-in-law."

"That's because Liang Qing died." Chu Yan said with a faint expression, "Shortly after my aunt got married, the Liang family was ransacked and exterminated for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. Unable to bear the great change, she hanged herself. When she died, King An was less than one year old. Hearing that Cui Jin risked his life to deal with the Liang family in secret, my aunt was very grateful to him, and because of this, she changed her attitude towards him."

Shen Lingxi suddenly understood.

The childhood sweethearts were destined to have no fate, and then died unexpectedly. No wonder the eldest princess treats Wang An, who was born by Concubine Lian, differently, as if she was her own.

But at this time, Cui Jin's helping hand is the best time to win the trust of the eldest princess.

But in the final analysis, this marriage was a scam from the very beginning, and the so-called "dealing with the Liang family" was probably a means to deceive the eldest princess' trust.

"These are all matters between the eldest princess, Liang Qing, and Cui Jin, and what does it have to do with Yuzhu?" Shen Lingxi asked puzzled.

Chu Yan: "There is a young son in the second room of the Liang family. He was sent to the palace by accident and escaped. This son's name is Liang Yu, which is Polygonatum odoratum."

At this point, he paused, "Jade bamboo looks exactly like the late Liang Qing. When my aunt saw him in the palace, she asked Concubine Zhao to send him to the Yutan Palace to serve. Over the years, my aunt has repeatedly entered the palace and regarded Yuzhu as a servant. As a nephew and junior, there are many people who take care of her. Yu Zhu is of the blood of the Liang family, and he died so tragically, with the character of my aunt, she will definitely not sit idly by."

Until this moment, Shen Lingxi finally understood the relationship between the eldest princess and Yuzhu, the Liang family, King An and the son-in-law.

Yuzhu was killed and dismembered in the ice cellar of the East Palace. The body parts should have been frozen in the ice cellar like Xue Tuan's body, but they were taken out by someone with a heart and thrown on the attic.

Shen Lingxi was extremely confused, and couldn't help muttering: "Why did the person throwing Yuzhu's body just throw Yuzhu's body in this attic of Prince An's Mansion?"

Chu Yan looked at her with downcast eyes, "The person who threw the corpse must have guessed that King An committed suicide, and it should be related to the Zhao family, so he did this kind of thing to tell the eldest princess that Yuzhu and King An died. There is something strange. Otherwise, how could the Zhao family be so eager to put the eldest princess to death?"

Shen Lingxi's eyes moved slightly.

The eldest princess regards King An as her own, and Yuzhu is the one whom the eldest princess has always protected.

If the eldest princess finds out, both King An and Yuzhu died at the hands of the Zhao family.

The eldest princess will definitely not let the Zhao family go.

Things were about to come to light, and for them, the eldest princess had become a waste game that would turn against her at any time, so they decided to kill the eldest princess directly, and then blame Chu Yan, killing two birds with one stone.

Every step is a killer move, every step is extremely sinister.

Shen Lingxi couldn't hide her anger when she thought of the end.

She simply told Chu Yan about what Wang An said before, "You can't go downstairs", and "Never believe that" Wei Guogong was behind the scenes.

At the end, Shen Lingxi pointed to the soul-relief lamps hanging under the eaves and the mottled cinnabar marks left on the walls around the attic, and her soft voice was rarely filled with anger, "After King An committed suicide, they I have done rituals in this attic, so it can be seen that there are ghosts in my heart. Wang An's heart is pure and kind, and he must have been deceived by others during his lifetime, but he doesn't know how they deceived him. His heart is really to blame."

Since Chu Yan knew her, he had seen her calm and smiling a lot, and this was the first time he saw her get angry.

Her bright eyes seemed to be burning something, and her whole body seemed to come alive.

Chu Yan's cold eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a little warm color.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, patted the top of her hair, subconsciously lowered his voice, and comforted him: "Man is doing it, and God is watching. Don't be angry with these wicked people. I promise you, no matter what evil they have done, I will definitely I will personally arrest them and let them suffer the consequences."

His eyes were solemn and focused, under the candlelight, reflecting the shaking lamp shadow.

The flickering candlelight reflected his black pupils brilliantly.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes, her eyes filled with puzzlement.

Why did he say these things to her?

She...she didn't want his promise of comfort.

But in the end it was for Yu Zhu, An Wang and Xue Tuan.

"You..." Shen Lingxi was about to say, thank him for his righteousness, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

His warm and powerful palm seemed to be...still on the top of her hair.

Realizing this, Shen Lingxi froze.

Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was surprise and embarrassment flashing across her clear eyes.

"Your...hand..." She raised her eyes to glance at his bony wrist, her voice trembling.

Chu Yan's eyes were slightly startled.

It was also at this time that he felt the fluffy and soft touch coming from the palm of his belatedly.

"Sorry..." He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and withdrew his hand from the top of her soft black hair, and gently ran over it with his fingertips, as if there was still the warmth of the soft hair, "I just thought of the snow ball for a while, I'm sorry .”

Shen Lingxi:? ? ?
Is this treating her like a cat?

Chu Yan didn't look at her shocked little face, put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, turned away deliberately, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, let's go back."

After that, he turned around and walked downstairs.

Shen Lingxi didn't have time to think about it, she just wanted to ask him how he planned to make them "reap the consequences", so she hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed.

Under the moonlight, the two walked back side by side, and the bright moonlight stretched their figures very long.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do? If you need help, include me, Yuzhu, King An and Xuetuan."

"You call them to meet me first."

"They dare not approach you."

"Oh why?"

"Because you have evil spirits on you, let me tell you..."

The gentle night wind blows the voices of the two people far away, gradually becoming inaudible...
