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

Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, and a look of pain instantly appeared on his face.

"Bingqing was also raised by this king. I naturally feel sorry for her death, but when I know the truth about the death of the emperor's wife, I only feel that this is a reincarnation of karma and retribution, and I will not Avenge their injustice."

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes froze slightly.

When he said "they", he even included the queen.

The implication of these words is that Xie Zhanghua's death has something to do with the Mu family?

It seemed to be responding to Shen Lingxi's guess——

Yun Chong opened his mouth in a timely manner: "Didn't the concubine just ask why Yun Hongshan would kill the concubine since he wanted to cling to Xie's family and the prince? That's because the death of Xie Zhangting made Yun Hongshan realize that with the prince Since the cooperation was no longer possible, he switched to the Mu family."

"And the crown princess is the certificate of honor that Yun Hongshan asked Uerda to give to the Mu family."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the four other than Yun Chong and Prince Rui changed.

Previously, Shen Lingxi had vaguely guessed that since Yun Chong had made it clear many times that his chariots and horses were targeting the Mu family, he would definitely do everything possible to drag the Mu family into trouble.

But she never expected that in such a way...

Chu Yan asked in a very calm tone, "The servants of Yun Hongshan also told you these words?"

"No, no, no." Yun Chong replied hastily, "He is a little servant who only knows about the murder of Queen You'an by Uerda, so how can he penetrate such secrets? People worked hard to find out, and found out."

Speaking of this, Yun Chong's face was quite smug, "Your Highness must not know that after the death of Empress You'an, the first emperor thought of marrying Mu's daughter to Emperor Xiaode."

"It's just that Emperor Xiaode missed his dead wife and had no plans to continue her marriage. That's why the late emperor bestowed the marriage of Mu's daughter to King Huan at that time. That is the current emperor and empress."

"Two years later, the war between Dazhou and Beidi ended, and a few ministers headed by the Mu family appealed to the late emperor to send troops to attack Yunguo. Because of this, the late emperor ordered Mu Tiangang to lead the troops to fight forward."

"With Wuerda's assistance, Mu Tiangang took down the five cities of Yunguo in one go, and his morale was greatly boosted. It also made Dazhou take Yunguo into his pocket in only half a year."

"Your Highness is in charge of the Embroidery Envoy and has settled countless cases. You should know that whoever is the biggest beneficiary in a case is most likely to be the murderer."

"After the death of Empress You'an, the Xie family fell into a slump, and the Mu family became the number one powerful family in the Great Zhou Dynasty thanks to their military achievements and status as relatives. Didn't His Highness ever suspect that they were murderers?"

Yun Chong intentionally paused, and then said: "Your Highness, don't forget that Danzhu, the maidservant who killed Mu Xue'e, was the youngest daughter of the Imperial Physician Liu's family. On the day of the crown prince's death, the Imperial Physician Liu disappeared for no reason, and was finally arrested by Mrs. Cheng Engong." Damn, is this really a coincidence?"

When Chu Yan heard this, her phoenix eyes were as black as ink.

Not only him, but even Shen Lingxi felt that Yun Chong's words, although there was no evidence, analyzed the relationship clearly and logically.

She did not forget that Mu Huai'an had told her the night before the wedding that it was indeed Wuerda who secretly colluded with Mu Tiangang inside and outside to break through the five cities of Yunguo.

But now, it seems that the Mu family is indeed the biggest beneficiary.

If Shen Lingxi didn't know Yun Chong well, he might be persuaded by his remarks.

But precisely because he is Yun Chong——
The more seamless he said about a matter, the more it proved that there must be something strange about it.

"Liu Lang." Wang Rui looked at Chu Yan with a handsome face, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "I can testify that the father did intend to marry Mu Huirong to the elder brother, and the elder brother's respect for your mother Death is still hard to let go, so I rejected the matter. The father had no choice but to marry Mu Huirong to the third brother."

He sighed, "When I first heard about this, I couldn't believe it, but many of the details, after a little scrutiny, can reveal the truth."

Chu Yan's sharp gaze swept over Prince Rui's face if there was any substance, then retracted lightly, and finally landed on Yun Chong's face.

"You just said that you know where Urda is now?" he asked.

His voice was as indifferent and serious as ever, as if he was not affected by Yun Chong's words at all.

But Shen Lingxi clearly felt that the big palm that had been holding her hand lightly, which had never been loosened since just now, was tightening slightly.

It can be seen that Chu Yan's heart at the moment is not as calm as he appears.

"In the Yunjiang Palace in Manyifang." Yun Chong hurriedly said: "For these years, Wu Erda has been practicing on the snow mountain. A while ago, Yun Hongshan was critically ill. Princess Yunjiang asked him to go down the mountain to treat Yun Hongshan. This time they came to Beijing I came here to ask for the title of Yunchao, the son of the king of Yunjiang."

"Three days later, the emperor will have a banquet for his officials in the palace. Presumably Yun Hongshan will be there at that time, and ask for the title of Yunchao. If His Highness wants to seek justice for his late mother, I would like to help His Highness."

Chu Yan looked at him blankly, noncommittal, and waved towards Chunjun, "Take this person to Beiya, interrogate him strictly, and find out how he assisted Danzhu in killing Mu Xue'e, and ordered the dead man to assassinate the queen." .”

Yun Chong never imagined that he had already told Chu Yan the murderer and clues that killed Chu Yan's biological mother.

He even wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter of him killing Mu's family, "Your Highness, even though I had selfish intentions in killing the two of them, I was also helping you to avenge you. How could you be like this... um..."

Chun Jun didn't give Yun Chong a chance to talk too much, and directly led someone forward, covering his mouth and dragging him down.

Prince Rui at the side obviously didn't expect such a direction, his face couldn't hide his astonishment.

"Liulang, you..."

Chu Yan turned to look at him, and cut off his words lightly: "Gu asked Shengxie to send the emperor's uncle back to the mansion, and by the way, bring back the testimony Yun Chong said to Beiya, and interrogate him strictly."

Prince Rui knew that he had always been one-sided, so he had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his lips.

Sheng Xie stepped forward, pushed his wooden wheelchair, and left the meeting hall.

After they left, only Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi were left in the whole hall.

Chu Yan looked at the figure of Prince Rui going away, his eyes were full of thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Lingxi gently shook the hand holding him, and looked at him worriedly, "Are... are you okay?"

Her clear voice, with a hint of concern in her tone, finally brought Chu Yan back to his senses.

Chu Yan turned to look at her, with a little more gentleness in his cold eyes, "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Lingxi nodded honestly.

This was the first time she had expressed concern unabashedly in front of her.

Chu Yan's heart was slightly warm, the previous depression was swept away between the brows, and the corners of the lips curled up in a happy arc.

Seeing him show his face, Shen Lingxi felt a little relieved, and said very seriously: "I know that the death of Empress You'an is a knot in His Highness's heart. But Yun Chong is not trustworthy."

"Mu Huai'an told me earlier that before the war, Wuerda did go to the Mu family's tent and proposed to cooperate with the Mu family. That was the first time Mu Tiangang met Wuerda. The first emperor agreed to join forces with Uerda."

"What Mu Huai'an said differs greatly from what Yun Chong said, one of them must be lying."

When Chu Yan heard this, the smile on the corner of his lips froze slightly.

His phoenix eyes looked at Shen Lingxi for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice: "So, on this matter, do you trust Mu Huai'an?"
