This sentence moved the Duke of Xingguo even more! He had been holding tens of thousands of troops and horses and remained neutral. After hearing her words, he seemed to be eager to say directly, "Your Highness, I will follow you from now on."
Qi Zhaomian looked at her helplessly, as if blaming her for taking all the benefits for herself.
Ye Xi lowered her head and smiled secretly. Now that she saw that they had a good relationship, she felt happy and was willing to see them living in harmony.
"That brat has repeatedly attempted to take my son's life. Your Majesty, please intervene on this behalf!"
Qi Yili was waiting for this sentence, and pretended to be embarrassed when he heard it: "I know what you said, Lord Sun, but Chang Lingyue is also the only son of Duke Sui. If I want to deal with him, I have no evidence and it will be difficult to do so."
Upon hearing this, Duke Xingguo also became anxious. He looked around and finally landed on Lin Shanjuan, and he suddenly understood.
"I've long heard that your Highness is adept at solving cases. My son's two lucky escapes were entirely thanks to you, so I shouldn't bother you. But right now, it's really... I hope your Highness can get to the bottom of this case and give my son justice."
Lin Shanjuan took advantage of the moment when he bowed to look at Qi Zhaomian. When he raised his eyelashes slightly, she understood and quickly helped him up.
"It's my job, you're welcome."
Duke Xingguo raised his head gratefully and said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort. As long as we can get to the bottom of this case and bring that lawless boy to justice, no matter what needs to be done, our whole family will agree!"
After saying this, he took out the jade pendant he was clutching tightly in his hand and said, "I found this in the woods where my son fainted. This jade pendant belongs to Chang Lingyue! But based on this alone, he and his son must have other explanations, so I didn't make it public. Now I'm giving it to the prince consort to use as he sees fit."
He guessed that Lin Shanjuan had his own rules, otherwise he would not have asked him to spread the word that "the child is seriously ill" everywhere. He must have done it for Chang Lingyue to see, trying to lure him into the trap.
Anyone who can climb to this position is not stupid. Even if they can't guess everything the other person is thinking, they can at least understand the general idea.
After Duke Xingguo left, Lin Shanjuan smiled and said, "It seems that Duke Xingguo really dotes on his youngest son. He really doesn't put on airs at all."
Ye Xi also agreed with this statement: "But Sun Yuze didn't almost lose his life due to external injuries, but rather took something inappropriate. How can we obtain evidence for this?"
Qi Zhaomian: "The people from the Inner Court are in charge of providing food, clothing and other expenses for each minister. You can go and ask the people in charge of the Duke of Xingguo's family what they have been feeding him these days."
Lin Shanjuan expanded on this: "And his servant, doesn't he always follow him? You can ask him."
Qi Yili rubbed his forehead and said, "Isn't it obvious who the murderer is? It's just that the consequences we want are too severe, so the existing evidence can't completely kill him."
Chang Lingyue and Sun Yuze have been at odds for many years. Everyone in Beijing knows about it, and there are constant minor frictions between the two. As long as Sun Yuze is still alive, he will not be able to use this to completely defeat Chang Lingyue.
It was difficult in the past because there was no murderer, but now that the murderer is right in front of us, it is even more difficult.
Several people fell into silence. Ye Xi thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any good plan, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Duke Xingguo loves his son dearly, but Duke Suiguo does too. Moreover, he only has one son. If something goes wrong, his family line will be extinct. He certainly doesn't want that. It's difficult."
This sentence made Qi Yili frown even more, but it instantly opened the minds of Qi Zhaomian and the others!
They looked at each other subconsciously, and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes——
Lead you into a trap!
The two looked at them in confusion: "Royal Sister, have you...come up with any good ideas?"
Lin Shanjuan curled his lips and smiled: "Please walk into the trap."
-
The night was quiet. Lin Shan lay on the couch after taking a tired bath and asked about the doubts he had during the day.
"Is Duke Sui the military pillar of Ji Shihan's side?"
Qi Zhaomian was still combing her hair by the mirror, her three thousand strands of black hair hanging down on her shoulders, making her skin look whiter than snow. Just a casual glance back or a glance, and her whole body exuded indescribable beauty and charm.
"Yes. Over the years, with Qin Wenxiang as his literary advisor and Chang Zhenming as his military advisor, and with countless local officials as his vassals, Ji Shihan was able to commit so many major crimes without leaving any traces."
The comb made a slight sound when it was placed on the table. Qi Zhaomian stood up and walked over, passing Lin Shanjuan who was lying on the inside.
"However, after Qin Wenxiang fell, he has recently been showing goodwill to Jin Hong. However, Jin Hong is a loyal minister and will not be easily moved by him."
Speaking of Jin Hong, Lin Shanjuan could only think of the black man who was almost burned to charcoal. She couldn't help laughing and said, "It doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will tell him that it was Ji Shihan who ordered his study to be burned down. Let's see if he is determined."
Qi Zhaomian was amused by her: "You, you always have bad ideas in your mind."
Lin Shanjuan showed a look of injustice: "No, no, no, I still have lustful thoughts in my mind, otherwise..."
Qi Zhaomian had been overly pampered by her for two consecutive days, so upon hearing this, he quickly withdrew from her arms and wrapped himself tightly.
"Be moderate!"
Lin Shanjuan turned over and lay on his side, looking at her with interest: "I don't understand, what is moderation? I've never heard of it."
Qi Zhaomian pursed his lips, his mind racing as he thought of a way to change the subject: "Tomorrow...who are you going to ask to impersonate Sun Yuze?"
Lin Shanjuan temporarily suppressed his other thoughts: "Me, or Ye Xi, we can both."
Qi Zhaomian was a little worried: "But... after all, you and Sun Yuze look very different. What if someone recognizes you?"
Lin Shanjuan shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I won't show up. I have my own way of making them believe beyond a doubt that the person who got on the bus was Sun Yuze."
Qi Zhaomian believed her and nodded, but then she thought about the danger of this trip. She didn't know how many people Chang Lingyue would send. If any of them got into trouble, it would be something she didn't want to see.
"you……"
Of course, she still prefers Lin Shanjuan.
Lin Shanjuan held her hand under the quilt and said, "Don't worry, no matter which of us goes to be the bait, nothing will happen. You don't believe me, but you also don't believe Ye Xi?"
Qi Zhaomian took the initiative to throw himself into her arms: "I believe you more than anyone else. It's just..."
Believing that you can do it and worrying about your failure do not conflict with each other.
There was no need to express her unspoken feelings. Lin Shanjuan kissed the corner of her eyes, and the warm breath ignited Qi Zhaomian's desire.
I am a person who is really difficult to be at peace. No matter how Lin Shanjuan comforts me, I will still feel uneasy about various things.
If this goes on, she might get impatient.
If it were me, I would have been annoyed a long time ago.
Her thoughts were boundless, and Lin Shanjuan could see them through the sad ends of her hair and the gloomy brows.
Since she's feeling uneasy, then hug and kiss her. Whether it's a deep hug or a deep kiss, both can emphasize your presence and soothe her anxiety.
It was too late when Qi Zhaomian realized that her belt was loose, but she no longer wanted to refuse and took the initiative to welcome Lin Shanjuan's arrival.
The moon's shadow swayed, but it could not shake the soft bed in the princess's tent.
Near dawn, His Majesty Xihe let out a soft sigh.
"...Lin Shanjuan, no, no loss."
Lin Shanjuan kissed her gently, helped her change into dry clothes, and then held her in his arms.
"As you wish. Good night."
She looked at the sky and couldn't help but kiss Qi Zhaomian: "No, Your Highness is very powerful this time, you should say good morning."
Qi Zhaomian was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover her mouth, but he didn't have the strength, so he simply bumped his head against her collarbone.
"Silence."
Lin Shan smiled tiredly, tucked in the quilt and coaxed her to sleep.
