Chapter 208 Is that girl really that amazing?
"Father, what exactly is going on with Ding Yan?"
Ling Xuerou almost gritted her teeth to pieces.
She remembered that Ding Yan had nothing to do with her in her previous life, so why was he constantly going against them now?
"Ding Yan is known in court as a tough nut to crack; even His Majesty is often driven to despair by him."
But he is indeed a very capable person, which is why His Majesty chose him to investigate the matter of the Governor-General of Jiangnan.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xuerou's face darkened.
"Father, could it be a trap set by Ding Yan to send the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Jiangnan away?"
Or is this a trap set by Wei Jingchen?
Ling Xuerou dared not think any further.
Having been reborn, it seems that something has slipped out of her control!
"What reason does Dante have to target us?"
Ling Ruofeng couldn't figure it out.
"Father, don't forget why you were exiled."
With his daughter's subtle reminder, Ling Ruofeng finally understood.
"You mean Ding Yan knows there are other people behind this and is trying to find them?"
He broke out in a cold sweat.
If a breakthrough is found through him and the Fifth Prince is brought out, he will be truly finished!
What he did was nothing more than exile.
If the Fifth Prince is brought out, it won't be as simple as just losing your life!
"Father, even if he is a member of the cabinet, he cannot be spared now!"
As she spoke, a fierce look appeared on Ling Xuerou's youthful face.
Lin Shujing was stunned for a moment, then quickly took her daughter's hand.
"Xue'er, don't do anything reckless!"
Her daughter is only five years old, what can she do?
What should she do if something happens?
"Don't worry, Mother, we don't need to do this. Father, you agree, right?"
Ling Xuerou knew that although her father wasn't particularly clever, he was a ruthless man.
As expected, after hearing her words, Ling Ruofeng's wavering heart calmed down immediately.
"You don't need to worry about this. Don't worry, I have a way."
He had originally left himself some leeway, but now that things have come to this point, he has no choice but to use that leeway.
At noon, the person delivering the food entered the prison cell.
When he delivered the food to the Ling family's prison cell, several more people walked in.
"You guys' worked hard, let's switch shifts!"
It turns out it was time for the shift change.
Just then, the official delivering the food suddenly whispered, "My lord."
Ling Ruofeng was initially disgusted by the chicken feed-like food, but upon hearing those two words, he immediately perked up.
He looked up abruptly, but the other person shook their head slightly at him.
Ling Ruofeng then calmed down and pretended to get food, getting closer to the other person.
"Kill Ding Yan."
He said something in a low voice.
The other party paused for a moment, then nodded.
After delivering the food, the official changed his clothes and went to a residence.
Inside the courtyard, a man sat by the pond, pinching fish food, while koi swam around him in the pond.
"My lord, they've arrived."
The man leisurely put down the fish food, and the person next to him quickly handed him a cloth to wipe his hands.
Then she handed him a jade tablet.
The man put on the jade pendant and glanced at him.
"Bring it up."
The officer stepped forward with his head down, not daring to raise his head when he came to the man.
"This humble servant greets Your Excellency!"
"how?"
"The Marquis instructed me to deliver a message to the master: kill Ding Yan."
Upon hearing his words, the man looked up in surprise.
Did they explain why?
"No, but Ding Yan is keeping a close eye on things. I'm worried he might find out something."
The man silently turned the jade plate on his thumb, his eyes lowered as if he were thinking about something.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"What did the people on the other side of the shadows say?"
"After failing twice, they dared not act rashly this time, saying that they were always being protected."
"Heh, Yunxuan's luck is really good. Alright, tell the Shadows."
Change the plan to kill Ding Yan. I have other arrangements for Yunxuan. Tell them.
If we can't even kill Ding Yan, then we might as well stop being the Shadow.
Those around him immediately knelt down.
"I'll take care of it right away!"
The group left in a hurry, and the courtyard returned to calm once again.
"My lord, what about the Prince of Jin..."
"Um?"
The man turned his head away unhappily.
"No, it's the Yun family's side. What should we do?"
The person next to him broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed his words.
"They should be leaving Suzhou soon, right?"
"That little girl went to find Valley Master Pei. Do you think they might know about Yun Huaijin's poisoning?"
The man's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with gloom.
"Is that girl really that amazing? Didn't you say that the Ling family girl hated her?"
Find a way to get that guy surnamed Ling to kill that girl.
"yes!"
His men left, and only then did the man stand up.
Looking at the jade tablet in his hand, a hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes.
"Come out."
From the corner, a person stepped out.
"Have you found out who initially wanted to kill Yun Zhao?"
"Master, the other party said it's a child, and since they don't have much silver and they want to kill a child..."
Shadow sent two insignificant men to practice, never expecting them to encounter Lu Xun and his son.
"A child? Ling Xuerou?"
The man was stunned.
How could a child hire someone to commit murder?
"My lord, there is another very strange thing. The message that Ling Ruofeng sent to the Fifth Prince is that the mastermind behind the embezzlement of disaster relief funds is Marquis Ningqian."
"How could a good-for-nothing like him find out about Marquis Ningqian?"
The man frowned, unable to understand what channels Ling Ruofeng had.
"We haven't found anything yet."
"Go investigate further, don't let Ling Ruofeng ruin our plans!"
"yes!"
The man then asked, "Master, should we send the news from the Fifth Prince to His Majesty?"
"Send it over, but don't let the news about Ling Ruofeng get out. Just say that we've found out that the Fifth Prince has a problem, but we're still investigating the specifics."
"yes!"
The man retreated into the shadows and disappeared.
The man simply turned the jade tablet in his hand in silence.
The government office.
Pei Jishi is taking the pulses of the two children.
“Zhao Zhao is right, both children are indeed poisoned, but it’s a bit strange that the older child is more severely poisoned than Xiao Jin.”
Pei Jishi found it strange, if they were to follow their explanation...
The poison was intended for Yun Huaijin; even if the Xu family children accidentally ingested it, the poisoning wouldn't be as severe as Yun Huaijin's.
Yun Zhao, sitting beside him, was stunned.
Her skills weren't up to par, and she couldn't determine whose poison was more potent.
Pei Jishi may not understand, but Yun Zhao is fairly familiar with the relationship between the two families.
Wu Lianzhen disliked Xu Qingyi, so naturally she wouldn't frequently bring her child to dine at the Prince of Jin's residence.
No matter how much he accidentally ingested the poison, it was impossible for him to be more severely poisoned than Yun Huaijin.
"Master, do you think the poison might not have been put in the food?"
Pei Jishi seemed to understand a little.
"That depends on what it is. It was originally for Xiao Jin, but later it ended up in the hands of this older child."
Their gazes fell on Xu Qingyi.
“In the past, if my fourth sister-in-law wanted something, even if it wasn't a big deal, I would just give it to her directly…”
Xu Qingyi had no idea how many things Wu Lianzhen had taken from her in the past.
"To put it simply, this thing must have been carried close to her body, and it's in Xiao Jin's possession."
If there are new poisoned items, think about who gave the child personal items more than twice.
Pei Jishi added.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyi's face turned deathly pale.
