Chapter 221

When King Xu came back, it was the end of Xu Dynasty.

In the room, Xingyun's body has been dragged away, the ground is clean, as if nothing has happened, only the air is filled with if there is no bloody gas, suggesting what just happened.

She is wearing a long brocade on her head, and she is already hanging on the ground.

XuanCao changed the robe for King Xu. King Xu went to the couch and said, "there's something delayed outside. It's late. Linglong, have you eaten yet?"

Jade Linglong nodded, as if some absent-minded, Xu Wang can not help worrying: "how, the body is not comfortable?" Then he reached for her forehead.

Yu Linglong pushed away his hand, sat up from the couch, and said to Hemerocallis and others, "you all go down."

All the people in the room retreated. Yu Linglong stood up and sprinkled some lily fragrance into the blue and white incense burner with her own hands. She said faintly, "Xingyun is dead."

King Xu seems to have a bit of an accident, but in a flash he doesn't care about it and says, "die, what do you worry about?"

Yu Linglong thought for a moment, and slowly said what happened in the afternoon. Xu Wang listened, and his face became more and more dignified.

When she said that Xingyun would rather commit suicide than say the person behind the scenes, Xu Wang's face was slapped with cold.

After Yu Linglong finished the story, King Xu was silent for a long time before he said, "before you and I get married, I seldom live in the house. I never pay attention to these things."

Yu Linglong was silent. She guessed Xu Wang's meaning. Since he wanted to cover up his identity, he would not easily stay in the palace. It is not necessary to think about it. Those eyes that are everywhere in the dark will certainly not let him go. In order not to arouse the suspicion of those people, Xu Wang will try not to stay in the mansion.

But now it's different. He and Yu Linglong have become relatives, and their time in the palace will be greatly increased. In this way, his chances of revealing his identity will also be increased accordingly.

If you want to make yourself safe, you must thoroughly check these spies in the mansion. There must be more than one person like Xingyun.

Yu Linglong raised her eyes and looked at King Xu. Knowing that he was the same as himself, she said faintly, "do you know who is the real master of Xingyun?"

Xu Wang's face became cold and stern, and his eyes gradually became deep and quiet. It seemed that he was looking directly at the bottom of jade Linglong's eyes.

"You guessed that?"

With a cold smile on her pink lips, Yu Linglong whispered, "you are the king. In this world, in addition to the emperor, who else is higher than you?"

Xingyun doesn't have to pledge allegiance to the master behind her. Judging from Xingyun's words before her death, Yu Linglong believes that Xingyun is not afraid of death, nor is she afraid of being punished by the master for exposing her identity. If she doesn't want to cover up something very important, she just wants to protect people who are very important to herself.

It's not hard to guess that there are very few people who can become dead men. If you want to make use of a person, but you can't trust her completely, the best way is to grasp her handle, such as controlling her family.

Xingyun is dead. It doesn't make sense to investigate who she wants to protect. What Yu Linglong wants to know is that Xingyun can't even trust and entrust King Xu and Princess Xu. That only shows that the person behind her has a big head, even more important than Xu Wang's identity.

In this way, the scope is much narrowed down.

King Xu is the emperor's favorite prince. In this world, who is higher than him? Who else will attack him? Who dares to attack him?

Yu Linglong has a faint answer in her heart.

There's only one person

Only one answer can explain everything.

Why did he hide his identity, why did he avoid his eyes and ears, why did he wear a mask

Yu Linglong gradually found that she was getting closer and closer to the center of the plot, but the closer she was, the more gloomy she felt. It seemed that all the people were in the dark, all the people were standing still, waiting for a chance to hit the target.

Just like a tornado, the more violent it is to the outside, and the closer to the eye of the wind in the center, the more calm it is that the slightest wind can not be felt.

Night, gradually deep.

Two people sat on the couch side by side, without saying a word, but they all had the same mind.

For a long time, King Xu sighed and naturally closed her hair on the temples. He said in a low voice, "I'm going to go to spring hunting in the future. You can have a rest."

Big hand gently pursed her hair, and he said in a deep voice, "don't worry, everything has me."

I thought I could have a rest day, but Yu Linglong didn't expect that something happened again.

The next morning, Yu Linglong had just had breakfast when she heard the voice of her servant girl outside the door: "I'd like to report to Princess Zhao Liandeng's request."

Yu Linglong raised her eyes and looked out. Her mother Liu said, "princess, the daughter-in-law of Zhao Liandeng's family is the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper Zhao, who is also in charge of the affairs in the house."Jade Linglong nodded, and mother Liu raised her voice and said, "let's pass it on."

A woman in her thirties came in and politely saluted Yu Linglong: "maid Zhao Liandeng's, please give my regards to the princess."

Jade Linglong said faintly: "what's the matter?"

Zhao Liandeng's peeping eyes look at Yu Linglong's face, it seems that it is difficult to speak.

Jade Linglong some impatient, one side of the Ling Er clear voice way: "have what matter to say quickly, tardy do what?"

I didn't expect that a little servant girl of ling'er was so powerful. Zhao Liandeng's family was frightened and said, "report to princess, outside There are a few women outside

Looking at her words flashing appearance, jade Linglong knew that these women are not good things, the voice can not help but cold down: "what people, to speak clearly."

Zhao Liandeng's head drooped, a pair of dare not face jade Linglong appearance, quickly said the matter roughly once.

It turns out that before Yu Linglong married into the mansion, there were a group of women with special status in Wang Xu's residence. They were given to King Xu by outsiders in various names, including singers, dancers, and some women who were good at playing zither and pipa. King Xu was not in the mansion all the year round. All these things were left to the steward of Zhao, who was of low status and did not dare to offend the masters who had sent them. He had to take them down and put them all in the north courtyard.

King Xu seldom went back to the mansion, and he never took care of these women when he came back. Although there were some restless people who wanted to climb up the branch and take the initiative to hook up with King Xu, it was a pity that none of them succeeded. These women had been living in the palace in such an embarrassing status, but it was still nothing.
