Chapter 12 Hidden Mystery
Ling Yue looked at Liu Xi's departure back and kept thinking about the scene of the assassination. If Liu Xi had received the ten taels of gold at that time, could she still stand here safely at this moment? And what does the smile that flashed at the bottom of Emperor Xia's eyes represent? Does the smile of controlling the overall situation and controlling everything mean that everything is expected by Emperor Xia?
"Sister Ling Yue, what are you thinking about?"
Ling Yue was interrupted by a sudden voice and looked at the girl in front of her as cute as a porcelain doll: "Huh?"
"Heart, you don't recognize people. Now you're going to call me sister." While talking, a young man in white apricot satin clothes walked to Ling Yue, "The child is naughty, please don't be surprised." The gentle and elegant temperament is somewhat similar to that of the prince, but in contrast, it is still a little immature.
"Brother Chen, don't always say that I'm young. I'm thirteen years old." Xia Xin clenched his fist and waved in the air to protest.
"I'm only 13 years old, that's really small." Ling Yue said with a smile.
"Wow, Sister Ling Yue, even you say I'm young."
"What are you talking about? So lively?" Although Xia Kang is the prince, he has been away for many years and his biological mother Liu's humble background. Therefore, most princes and princesses are unwilling to make friends with this brother and sister without any power background, but Xia Kang doesn't care about these. What he needs is the kind of brother who can live and give his back to each other, even if they have no blood relationship with each other.
"Third brother, you really don't recognize people at all. They all call Ling Yue sister."
Xia Kang patted Xia Xin's head gently: "I remember that my heart was just walking at that time, but I didn't expect it to grow so big in a blink of an eye."
"Brother Kang is better, unlike Brother Chen, who always says that he is small and not small."
"Good, my heart is not small." Xia Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Ling Yue." With a slightly low voice, the people who had gathered together to chat in twos all calmed down.
Ling Yue turned her head and saw that Emperor Xia was getting up from the spruce carved chair and slowly walking towards herself: "Your Majesty, do you call me?"
"I want to hear what you think about this matter. Lao San, Lao Liu, you also say your own opinions, and everyone else will disperse." Except for the people left by Emperor Xia's name, the rest of them left one by one after saluteing Emperor Xia.
"Father, Xin'er should also stay, and Xin'er wants to play with Sister Ling Yue."
"Okay, stay with your heart." Emperor Xia put his hands behind his back and looked kindly at his favorite ninth princess.
"Thank you, father, I know that my father is the best." Xia Xin said coquettishly.
"Speaking about it, what do you think of this assassin?" Xia Di glanced at the assassin who lay on the ground and had been dead for a long time. "Lao San, remember to stay alive next time. Although the assassin bit his tongue and killed himself, in the final analysis, you are also responsible."
"My son is frightened and asks my father to commit a crime." With that, Xia Kang wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Emperor Xia.
"I just want to remind you that you should think more about doing things in the future, which is far worse than that of the prince."
"Yes, I would like to follow the meeting of my father."
Xia Di nodded, and then turned his eyes to Ling Yue: "Ling Yue, what do you think of this matter?"
"There are three doubts here." Ling Yue squatted down and carefully observed the assassin's body.
"Oh? Which three doubts?" Xia Di asked with great interest.
"First of all, since this assassin wants to kill me, why didn't he choose to poison snacks and hot tea? And do you want to choose this way that is most revealing your identity? Secondly, judging from the clothes he was wearing, it obviously didn't fit, which showed that he should not be a eunuch, and he didn't know where he got it from. Finally..." Ling Yue did not go on, but looked at the assassin's body in silence.
"What's the last thing?" Xia Di asked.
Ling Yue stood up and looked at Emperor Xia with burning eyes: "Finally, the reason why this assassin assassinated Ling Yue was completely instructed by the emperor."
As soon as this statement came out, Xia Kang and Xia Chen immediately changed their faces. You know, Ling Yue's words were enough to make her head different, but the person himself seemed to know it.
"Why do you think it was instructed by me?" Xia Di's tone was so calm that there were no waves and no feelings could be heard. But the more so, Xia Kang and Xia Chen feel more and more horrible, because they know very well that their father is a suspicious and incontible person. When he laughed, he could gently order the palace people or ministers who didn't like him to be dismembered by the five horses; he could also reward the prisoners who repeatedly offended him in anger.
No one can understand this mood and unpredictable king, even his son or the sleeping queen and concubine by the pillow. No one can understand Emperor Xia, and perhaps even he himself can't understand.
"Because..." Ling Yue just wanted to say something, and saw Liu Xi walking quickly not far away, followed by a famous young man in black and thick satin. When Ling Yue approached, she found that the young man's face was as beautiful as a woman.
"Ke Chengyang, the imperial historian of Zuodu, can see the emperor." Ke Chengyang folded his hands and bowed to salute. In the slightly magnetic voice, there is a sense of thunder and wind.
"Ke Yushi, don't be polite."
"I don't know what it means to enter the palace?"
"Ha ha, it's not a big deal. I just want you to check the identity of this assassin."
Ke Chengyang looked sideways at the body on the ground, and then said, "Weichen understands that the emperor will give Weichen two days, and Weichen will definitely find out the water."
"Okay, then I will leave all the power to you, but don't let me down." A meaningful smile appeared on Emperor Xia's face.
"Yes, Weichen obeys."
The imperial history of Zuodu? Judging from the situation, this young man named Ke Chengyang should be similar to the public security reconnaissance in his previous life, Ling Yue thought. It's just that for her, she doesn't have to wait for two days, because she has guessed what Xia Di wants to do. The so-called Sai Shihui is just an excuse. As for who the assassin is, it doesn't matter at all, because what really needs to happen is her. Murong Lingyue was assassinated. Whether she is safe or in a different place, there must be a proposition, that is, she was assassinated. The only way to solve this proposition is to flow into rivers.
Thinking of this, Ling Yue looked at the sparkling water not far away, and bursts of fragrance came from her face. Xia Kang and Xia Chen were silent, because the last point Ling Yue just said made them feel that there seemed to be a mystery in the assassin incident at the same time.
"Your Majesty, it's almost noon. It's time for you to eat." Liu Xi bent down and said softly.
"Um, I want to have dinner with the queen today. Let's go to the Queen's Hall."
"Wow, Xin'er also wants to go to the Queen's place."
"Ha ha, you are really naughty. Let's go with me to see what delicious food the queen has."
