Chapter 37 Does the Princess Like Lu Yun?
Qi Yuning frowned and said, "What does it mean that uncle is not uncle? Logically speaking, the King of Shu should also be uncle."
Wang Tao said, "I don't know what this sentence means, but General Huo said before his death that it was indeed uncle, not uncle. After that, Prince Duan trusted me and took me in, but not long after, Prince Duan also had an accident. I stayed here to guard the tombs of Prince Duan and the princess, so that they can rest in peace."
Princess Duan was extremely distressed and said, "Lu Ze, please stop investigating. I just want my Jie'er to grow up well and live an ordinary life. I have already lost two of my loved ones, and I cannot lose another one!"
Lu Ze did not agree to Princess Duan's request, and said to Qi Yuning, "Princess, please send my aunt back first."
At Chou time, the sky is extremely dark.
Qi Yuning helped Princess Duan back to the villa. Looking at her painful expression, he sighed softly.
Qi Yuning comforted her softly, "Princess, take good care of yourself. You are a very blessed person. You still have the little prince. You will be able to avenge yourself in the future!"
Princess Duan listened to Qi Yuning's comfort and said with tears in her eyes, "Yes, I still have Jie'er."
After Qi Yuning came out of the villa, she saw Lu Ze leaning against the door waiting for her to come out.
Lu Ze said, "We have examined the body of my third uncle and found obvious signs of a blow to the back of his head. He must have been beaten to death before he fell into the water, not drowned."
Qi Yuning said, "According to what the chief eunuch said, Prince Duan was dragged into the water by a long-haired water ghost and drowned in front of everyone. How could he have died from being beaten?"
Lu Ze said: "It's very simple. My third uncle must have been beaten to death and his body was thrown into the lake. If the body floats up, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will investigate the cause of death in detail, and the murderer will not be able to escape justice.
But if everyone watched him being dragged under the water by a water ghost and drowned, everyone would think he drowned and would no longer investigate the cause of his death. "
Qi Yuning asked again: "Since Prince Duan was already dead before entering the water, how could he stand steadily and then struggle in the water?"
Lu Ze said: "That's even simpler."
Qi Yuning raised an eyebrow and said, "Someone is wearing the same clothes as Prince Duan and pretending to be Prince Duan?"
"Yes, and then the fake Prince Duan and the water ghost took advantage of the chaos to swim away. The water in the lotus pond is connected to the Qing Lake next door. The murderer only needs to swim to the Qing Lake and everyone will believe that Prince Duan drowned himself."
Qi Yuning asked again: "But why do we need to arrange a water ghost? Since he was pretending to be Prince Duan, why didn't Prince Duan fall into the water by himself?"
Lu Ze said: "The murderer needed someone to see him drown. If it wasn't a water ghost, the eunuchs and guards who came to rescue him could have saved him in half an hour and he wouldn't have drowned. Only a water ghost would make people believe that he drowned so quickly. This murderer is a meticulous person."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "It would have been nice if you were in the Imperial Mausoleum Palace two years ago. Where were you then?"
"His Royal Highness sent me to Xinzhou to handle a matter."
Lu Ze handed the ointment in his hand to Qi Yuning and said, "This incense has the effect of calming the mind. Princess, you should rest early."
Qi Yuning took it, took the ointment with her fingertips and applied it on her wrist, then sniffed it gently, "Hmm."
…
Qi Yuning did not sleep well. Sometimes he saw the blurry faces of his parents, and sometimes he saw Princess Shan when she was young.
"Sister Yuning, why are you ignoring Sister Baozhu?"
"Sister Yuning, does this coral necklace look good?"
Qi Yuning woke up with a start and looked outside. It was still dark outside. "Lichun, what time is it?"
"Princess, it's five minutes past midnight outside."
Qi Yuning glanced at Lingling beside him, rubbed his temple and said, "Help me get up, it's time to go back to the palace."
Lichun was dressing Qi Yuning. After Lingling woke up, she walked to Qi Yuning and said, "Mom, are we going home? What about Guigui?"
"Turtle must stay at its home too." Qi Yuning picked up Lingling and said, "Turtle's parents will be sad if they can't find him."
Lingling asked, "Then how about taking Guigui's parents back with us?"
Qi Yuning shook his head and said, "But turtles prefer a wide pond."
Lingling asked, "But what if Lingling also likes Guigui?"
Qi Yuning smiled quietly and said, "Mother loves Lingling so much that she locked Lingling in a small water tank and doesn't let her go out to play. She can only play in a small water tank. Does Lingling want this?"
Lingling shook her head and said, "I don't want to."
Qi Yuning chuckled, picked up Lingling, and went to Prince Duan's villa to say goodbye.
Princess Duan looked very unhappy, and little Zhao Jie beside her reluctantly gave the ceramic pony to Lingling.
Lingling held the ceramic pony and said, "Thank you, little uncle. Lingling likes the little uncle now. I will come to play with him again when the time comes."
Little Zhao Jie nodded and said, "Lingling must come!"
After getting on the carriage, Lingling's little head kept sticking out of the window until she could no longer see little Zhao Jie.
Qi Yuning did not sleep well last night. She felt drowsy as soon as she got into the carriage. She leaned on the soft pillow beside her and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Lu Ze was originally teaching Lingling to read. When he saw Qi Yuning close her eyes, he whispered to Lingling, "Daddy wants to take you out for a horse ride. Do you want to?"
Lingling nodded repeatedly.
Lu Ze carried Lingling outside the carriage. It was windy today, but luckily Qi Yuning had brought a lot of winter clothes for Lingling. After putting on the coat for Lingling, she was not cold while riding the horse.
When Qi Yuning woke up, he was shocked to see Lingling not in the carriage.
"beginning of spring!"
Lichun opened the curtain outside the car and said, "Princess."
"Where's Lingling?"
"The prince was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so he took the little princess and left on horseback first."
Qi Yuning said, "It's so cold, taking Lingling on a horse? Is there any father like him?"
Qi Yuning walked out of the carriage and looked around, but both the father and daughter were gone.
Lu Ze took Lingling on horseback for a while, and seeing that Xianglin Temple was nearby, he took Lingling to the temple.
Lingling saw Xianglin Temple and said, "Lingling knows this place. Uncle hates this place the most, but mother likes Uncle to accompany her here the most. Every time Uncle comes here, he cries."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Your mother asked your uncle to accompany her to the temple?"
Lingling nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Ze brought Lingling to Xianglin Temple and saw Lu Yun, who was sweeping fallen leaves in the temple with a green face.
When Lu Yun saw Lu Ze, he quickly threw away the broom that was sweeping the dead leaves in his hand, ran to Lu Ze, and said hoarsely with red eyes:
"Brother, you finally came to save me! I can't stay in this damn place anymore, please save me and take me back. The damn Qi Yuning even sent people to watch me and not let me eat any meat. I can't even hunt by myself!"
Lu Ze said: "Since you have become a monk, you are no longer my brother. If you really want me to save you, return to secular life first."
Lu Yun cried, "I don't want to leave the secular world and marry Qi Yuning. You don't know how vicious she is! Whoever marries her will have a flood in his brain!"
Lu Ze: "...just continue to eat bran and vegetables."
Lu Ze took Xiao Lingling's hand and turned to leave. It was really a show of brotherly love.
When Lu Yun saw the little girl next to Lu Ze, he was slightly stunned. Where did Lu Ze get a little girl who looked so much like him?
I don’t know if it’s because Qi Yuning put too much pressure on him, why does he feel that the little girl looks a bit like Qi Yuning?
It's an illusion. It must be because I ate too many green leafy vegetables.
As Lu Yun continued to sweep the floor with a broom, he looked down and saw a woman coming up the steps of the mountain path.
Lu Yuan couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, he only saw the woman gently took the little girl from his elder brother's hands and held her in her arms, the two looked very intimate.
Lu Yun was stunned. When did Lu Ze find him a sister-in-law?
Qi Yuning looked at the little bald donkey on the mountain, with hatred still in her eyes. She glared at Lu Ze and said, "If it weren't for Lingling, I wouldn't let that little bald donkey off so easily!"
Lu Ze said, "Yun'er is young and ignorant. He is only sixteen, indeed too young. How could the princess agree to marry Yun'er?"
Qi Yuning asked, "Does it depend on me whether I agree to the imperial decree that Lu Baozhu asked for to grant marriage?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You can refuse it, Princess. Did you agree to this marriage because you like Lu Yun?"
