Wen Wan saw that the matter was almost settled and it was time to return to normal. So I prepared to send someone to pick up Ling Chang the next day. Unfortunately, before people set out, they got bad news. Ling Chang killed someone.
Lingcheng killed someone, and the person he killed was his half-sister. When Wen Wan heard the news, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Ling Chang killed the fourth princess (Guo's daughter). Tell me clearly what happened." This matter of killing siblings is not a joke. of. Once this matter spreads, Ling Chang's life will be ruined. Even if he has great talent, this stain will make him unable to turn around for the rest of his life and make him despised by the world.
Xia Ying¡¯s face was so dark that it made people feel scared. He told Wen Wan what happened. In fact, what happened was very simple. Ling Chang was with the fourth princess, and then the fourth princess died. There were only two children in the house at the time.
Wen Wan sneered and said, "Is Guo's child dying of illness?" Wen Wan's idea was that since the child was dying, she might as well put the blame on Ling Chang. To destroy this child. Therefore, the people who followed believed that Ling Chang had killed the four princesses.
Xia Yao shook her head: "No, the fourth princess's body was a little weak before. But after two years of careful conditioning, her body has improved. She is no different from a normal child. What happened this time is really strange. And what happened this time is obviously Aiming at Ling Chang. "This looks like a trap. But why it was targeted at Ling Chang was really strange.
Wen Wan sneered: "Xia Yao, you are wrong. This incident is obviously aimed at me. That child Ling Chang was just used by these people. Their real purpose is me. But this incident is really strange. , it is too rare that Mrs. Guo would attack her own flesh and blood, but if it had not been for her, none of the palace maids and eunuchs around her would have done this. It's quite interesting." After Wen Wan said, she felt that she might have thought wrong. Guo used her own daughter to harm Lingchen and wanted to destroy Lingchen. It is not justified. Not to mention that Lingchen would be destroyed in this way and it would not hurt her at all. Even the prince would not be able to let such a scandal spread. Nothing makes sense.
Xia Yao heard Wen Wan say that this matter was for Wen Wan, and disagreed: "Princess Princess, you said that the Guo family came for you. Just Ling Chang, they can't affect it even if they kill him. Princess. Why go to all this trouble?" Xia Yao and Xia Ying couldn't figure it out.
Wen Wan also thinks it is unreasonable. He asked coldly: "After this incident came out, what was the attitude of the Crown Princess, and what did she do? Hai Ruyu has been in charge of the East Palace for so many years, and he actually let Guo family frame his son like this. Doesn't she deserve one? All the people working for Ling Chang were dead? Otherwise, why was there no one around Ling Chang this time? If the princess was so incompetent, she could protect the four children unscathed. It¡¯s so rare.¡±
Xia Yao's cold light flashed: "Princess, are you saying that the Crown Princess did it on purpose? It depends on whether you come forward or not if something happens to Lingchen this time. If you do, you will be involved in the internal affairs of the East Palace. If you don't, it will chill Lingchen's heart." Can't blame it. Xia Yao speculated on Hai Ruyu with the greatest malice. It was true that Hai Ruyu had a very bad impression on Xia Yao before. Of course, the main reason is that this matter is too strange.
Wen Wan remained silent, this really cannot be ruled out. Nowadays, the status of the prince is becoming more and more delicate, because the emperor now relies heavily on the third prince. The number of people who support the third prince is far greater than that of the prince. The prince's status was on the verge of collapse, and Hai Ruyu went crazy and wanted to destroy everything. wrong. This is not considered burning the boat. Anyway, she intervened in this matter and they benefited. If he didn't intervene, Wen Wan would feel cold. If he didn't intervene, he would just waste a son. And this son was taught by her.
Xia Ying smiled: "Princess, what's so difficult about this matter? You won't forget the people around His Highness Lingcheng, right?" If there was no shadow, maybe things would be more difficult. But there are shadows and people who can prove it. What are you afraid of?
Wen Wan was a little surprised as to how Xia Ying knew. There was no way the emperor would tell her.
Xia Ying hurriedly explained: "I feel it." There is no need to tell this kind of thing. As long as there are masters around, you can feel it. Otherwise, if a powerful assassin comes, everyone will watch and assassinate the master.
Xia Yao said she also knew.
Wen Wan rejected the proposal: "No, the news about the shadow cannot be revealed. Once this news is revealed, Lingyang's situation will be very dangerous in the future." Once the things about the shadow are known, it is very likely that none of these people will be human beings. Then she knew what the emperor and her were planning. This would cause Lingcheng to die. Maybe someone had speculated before, but it was still speculation after all. Mere speculation doesn't allow them to make up their minds yet.
Wen Wan thought for a while and then said: "Xia Yao, please go there in person. Although it is a housework in the East Palace, Ling Chang is my student. As a teacher, it is not inappropriate for me to ask." Xia Yao, the Wen Wan faction The meaning of the past is obvious. It's just plain support. AndShe Wan also knew very well that unless the prince was out of his mind, he would never charge Lingtan with killing his sister. She can't be involved in this matter, but it can definitely involve Dong Gong.
Xia Yao felt that Wen Wan should not interfere. After all, it is a matter of internal affairs. Wen Wan shook her head: "I just asked you to go and have a look, and I didn't ask you to interfere. Just don't let Ling Chang suffer." After Wen Wan finished speaking, she thought that Xia Yao's temper was not as calm as Xia Ying: "Forget it, it's still Xia Ying Go! "Xia Ying now, well, how should I say it. Getting more and more sinister. She is more able to keep her composure than Xia Yao, who is becoming more and more energetic. Wen Wan feels that the two of them are very good, each has its own characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.
Xia Yao doesn't care anymore. After being with Wen Wan for so many years, and now that he is old enough, there will definitely not be any competition between his confidants from other wealthy families. Xia Yao smiled and said: "Xia Ying, I asked Xia Xian to give you your favorite steamed seabass. You can have some when you get back."
But when Xia Ying just walked out of the door, she was stopped by Wen Wan again: "Xia Ying, just go and find out the news. Don't come forward."
Xia Yao and Xia Ying were stunned at the same time. Because this was the first time that Wen Wan took back what she had said: "Princess, what's wrong?" If there wasn't some important reason, she would definitely not regret it all at once.
Wen Wan shook his head and said nothing. Wen Wan was completely lost in thought, and she didn't even seem to see Xia Ying go out. Wen Wan always felt that the matter between Mingjin and Lingying was too strange: "Xia Yao, tell me, could this really be the fault of the Crown Princess?"
Xia Yao's eyes widened: "Princess, why do you suddenly doubt the Crown Princess?" She was just talking, not really doubting the Crown Princess. After all, the Crown Princess will not gain any benefit from this incident.
Wen Wan did not answer Xia Yao's doubts, but went to the study and stayed alone in the study. Xia Yao rarely, well, it should be said that she has not seen Wen Wan like this for several years.
Xia Ying came back after being out for a long time, and was a little surprised to hear the princess alone in the study. Wen Wan heard Xia Yao's footsteps in the study and asked the two of them to go in.
Xia Ying said: "Princess, I have received the news. The prince has closed this case, saying that the palace maid and the eunuch neglected their duties and failed to protect the four princesses. The affairs of the four princesses have nothing to do with Ling Chang. In Ling Chang's past At that time, the fourth princess was gone. The people below misunderstood her. But Lingchen was frightened and needed a good rest."
Wen Wan knew that this was a matter of course: "What is going on? Who is using such clumsy means. What is the purpose of this person? Have everyone around him been caught?" If Wen Wan's guess was not wrong, There must be something wrong with Guo's staff. However, what is the purpose of using such clumsy means? With whom did she form such a grudge against her? There are so many twists and turns through Lingtan Turn.
Wen Wan was puzzled. She knocked on the table and expressed her doubts: "Xia Yao, you really don't think these two things are strange. What do the people behind the scenes want to do?" Anyone with a brain understands. , now that the emperor is well, no one can touch her. If she moves, she will only seek death. But why did these people deal with her so blatantly? Wen Wan really doesn't understand this point.
Xia Yao shook her head, she couldn't figure it out either. If you want to plot against the princess through Ling Chang, it will be difficult. It can be said to be a fantasy.
Wen Wan gave up thinking for the time being. Thinking about it again would only waste your brain, so she might as well take a rest. When he returned to the house, he happened to see Xia Xian bringing Mingjin's favorite candied date cake. Mingjin was now talking about the cake. I won¡¯t eat even if I die.
Wen Wan looked at the candied date cake, but her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately walked out: "Xia Ying, go check it out immediately. When did Jiang Wei start to like eating candied date cake? Did she like it when she was a child or after she went to the palace? "If you started to like candied date cake after entering the palace, then things are really not that simple this time. There must be another mystery.
Although Wen Wan didn¡¯t believe it was a coincidence, she could not find any clues after searching. I don't believe it is a coincidence, but there is no evidence that it is not a coincidence.
Xia Ying was a little surprised, but still hurried out. After a while, he came back and said: "Princess, Jiang Wei has liked eating pastries since she was a child. She likes to eat all kinds of pastries as long as they are delicious. But she fell in love with candied date cake after entering the palace. It is a mother beside Jiang Wei who is good at making candied date cake. "It tastes very good." Xia Ying paused and said, "Princess, this mother has died because she could not survive the punishment."
A frightening light flashed in Wen Wan's eyes. If it was a coincidence before, Wen Wan could only believe it without evidence. What remained was a suspicion she had developed over the years. But now, Wen Wan is 100% sure that this incident was not a coincidence, but someone had planned it. But no one can tell when Mingjin will go to the Royal Garden. This requires pre-planning, a long time of preparation, the right time and place, and various requirements.It's all come together. very troublesome. But why did they go to such trouble to murder her Mingjin? She has not formed such a deep hatred with the people in the palace (those who have formed hatred are not capable of making it bigger).
