Chapter 452 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
She didn't know whether she was lucky or sad, but she was lucky that her daughter had not become insensitive in the past nine years. She was also sad that in these nine years, her daughter who was supposed to hide behind her mother to protect her from wind and rain became a person of great influence in the city. At the age of seventeen
You have to try to control the whole situation.
She had to work hard to support so many secret guards and take care of everyone's lives. Such a daughter only made her heartache unbearably.
Rong Ying'an's heart skipped a beat when she heard Xiao Lingyao say again: "When my daughter recovers from her injury, she will leave on her own and return to Sui City in disguise. Sui City and others are still waiting for me. I can't leave them alone."
The door was pushed open at this moment, and Na Baijiang walked in quickly. He wanted to help Rong Ying'an, but he retracted his hand silently and said: "What you said is wrong, girl. I made a big mistake. Now I am messing with people who shouldn't be messed with."
Now, you have waded through this muddy water, and you can't do anything if you leave."
Xiao Lingyao thought about the words and said, "What does the village owner mean?"
"This Zuo Pingdao is the emperor's hunting dog. Although he was sent away today, I don't think he will let go easily. Just now our people discovered that there are two people lurking outside. They want to keep an eye on the Bai family." Bai Jiang
Said: "If you leave, wouldn't it be a sign of self-destruction?"
Bai Jiang had his own thoughts in his heart. His wife's daughter had finally been found. If he retreated in despair, it would only make the relationship between the two of them deeper into an abyss. Besides, he had indeed provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked, and he was considered under the emperor's control.
Something happened right under my nose.
Now he shares the same hatred as the mother and daughter, "How about you stay here until we get rid of Zuo Pingdao?"
Outside the house, Bai Zeyuan raised his eyebrows. His father was smarter now. He decided to delay the attack and leave his wife and daughter behind for the time being. We will wait and see what the consequences will be.
Besides, Zuo Pingdao came to the Central Plains in casual clothes and did not stay at the official inn. Instead, he chose an inn to stay. The room at Tianzi No. 1 was occupied by him. After returning from the manor, Zuo Pingdao got into the room and immediately found something new.
The news was sent in.
"Sir, all the locals know about the Bai family's inner house. It is not difficult to find out. Indeed, as the young village owner said, he usually made noises about martial arts but was suppressed by the Bai village master. His testimony today is not the same.
.”
"In addition, although Master Bai's wife was remarried, she had a good relationship with the young master. She was raised by this lady when he was young, even though the couple later gave birth to a pair of twins.
I haven’t neglected it either.”
"There is a saying among the people that if the head of Bai Village can't discipline the young master, the lady can take care of it immediately. It shows that the Bai family is quite harmonious." This subordinate said: "There are really many people coming and going in this house.
, my subordinates are investigating."
Although these subordinates acted according to Zuo Pingdao's instructions, they were still a little confused. They were following His Majesty's orders to secretly investigate the death of the eldest prince and at the same time search for the whereabouts of Princess Jinhua.
However, it was clearly stated that the eldest prince died of illness, and that Princess Jinhua died for the fifth prince. Both of them have been buried. Now these twists and turns really make them puzzled about His Majesty's thoughts. Could it be that they think there is another reason for the death of the eldest prince, and Jinhua
Princess Hua is not dead?
In this case, His Majesty has already whitewashed the peace, but now he wants to investigate, why?
Zuo Pingdao dismissed everyone, leaving only the Shaoqing. His surname was Yi Zifeng. They were actually about the same age. Yi Zifeng behaved quite similarly to him. There was no one else around. He sat down cross-legged and sat down with him.
Face to face with Zuoping Road.
"They don't understand. Do you know what they mean?"
"Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with the Eastern Palace for a long time. It was originally planned to depose the crown prince. Even so, he is of royal blood after all, and he will not be killed if he is deposed. Now that someone is assassinating the eldest prince, it really offends your majesty."
What Yi Zifeng said made Zuo Pingdao narrow his eyes slightly: "Do you know why you want to conduct a private investigation?"
"The death of the eldest prince involves a lot of things. The reason for the whitewashing is to prevent the Marquis of Zhenbei from having any evidence to rely on. The Marquis of Zhenbei has been ambitious for a long time. We must not give him any evidence to make him rebel."
"Not only that, when the eldest prince could take over the East Palace, it was a deal between Zhenbei Marquis and His Majesty. Only when the eldest prince sat firmly in the east palace would he be willing to lead his troops northward. Now that the eldest prince is dead, the settlement is no longer clear." Zuo Ping said.
sighed.
Yi Zifeng buried his head. It was not surprising that the Zuo family knew about these secrets. Anyone who could follow Emperor Yuan to this day and enjoy a high position had great or small achievements in serving the dragon. The Zuo family was among them, but they couldn't compare to the limelight at that time.
It’s just the Chen family and the Tang family.
"That's why His Majesty announced to the public that he died of illness, but asked us to secretly investigate the truth. In addition, Your Majesty does not believe that the princess died."
Yi Zifeng clasped his fingers together. Others may not know it, but he knew that Zuo Pingdao had been coveting the princess for a long time. Unfortunately, the selection of the consort was preempted by a concubine whom he had never heard of. He watched helplessly as the princess became another man's wife.
"Adults don't believe it either?"
"I don't believe it. I want to see people alive and see corpses after death. Although the blood stains and blood writings in the Buddhist hall are clearly visible at a glance, there was a big loophole at that time - Your Majesty knew that the person who jumped off the cliff was a Xibei kid."
Yi Zifeng's temples tightened and his head hung lower. He could only hear the voice from above continue to sound: "Your Majesty thought that the princess was harmed, but she was not dead.
take away."
"I don't know why your Majesty still acts like that when he sees everything clearly, and why Zhao Lun suddenly became the fifth prince..." Yi Zifeng said: "My subordinate is stupid, please give me some advice."
Zuo Pingdao sneered, shook his head and said: "You don't know, Zifeng. Your Majesty only told me that the person who fell off the cliff was not Princess Jinhua herself. But even so, he still asked Commander Meng to go find her with great fanfare."
Even he couldn't figure out Emperor Yuan's thoughts this time, and he didn't understand what it meant. But from now on, there would be no Princess Jinhua in the world. This move would be a good thing for him. If he found her first, a sinister look flashed in Zuo Pingdao's eyes.
So what if you build a golden house for its light?
However, the prison girl in the golden house could not escape the word "prison", and no one knew that she had fallen into his hands. Zuo Pingdao suddenly became angry because of this thought, and his eyes suddenly filled with blood.
Yi Zifeng raised his head and was reflected in the blood, and said in his heart: "Sir..."
"In Dali Temple, you are the only one who knows what I am thinking. Zifeng, the two of us grew up together. Everyone in the Zuo family has blood on their hands. But even so, I still have something I want.
Man, are you willing to help me?"
Yi Zifeng's hair stood on end. Even though that person claimed to be dead, His Majesty knew that once the situation was broken, how could His Majesty let them go?
"Your Majesty only knows that the person who fell off the cliff is a Xibei, but he doesn't know whether the princess is in danger. If she dies, it doesn't matter. My thoughts are gone. If she is still alive, how can I allow her to throw herself into someone else's body?"
