Chapter 102 Ask in Person
Xiao Jin pointed at the table and said, "Sit down."
Ling Chan sat down and found tea and cakes on the table. "Did you know I would come?"
Xiao Jin poured her tea and said, "Don't you know I'm waiting?"
"When I was at the border, I discovered..." He didn't say how he was injured, just mentioned it briefly.
Ling Chan knew how painful burns were, and his burns spread from his face to his body, covering a large area.
The physical pain, and the psychological pain of discovering the disfigurement...
He is a prince, his face is disfigured...
Ling Chan couldn't hide her sympathy and felt a little distressed.
"That's why I investigated Gongzhou." After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he found that Ling Chan was staring at him with some sympathy in her eyes.
She sympathizes with herself?
Doesn't she think her situation is even more pitiful than his?
Although his background was lower than that of other princes, he was truly loved by his adoptive mother, Concubine Xi.
He was not valued by the late emperor, but his elder brother trusted him very much after he ascended the throne.
On the other hand, Ling Chan herself was the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei and was considered a noble lady in the capital, but she had been locked up in the Ling Mansion without seeing the sun, and everything she had was taken away by her stepmother and stepsister.
Ling Chan released her hand from the letter and said, "Take a look."
She placed the letters from Gongzhou and Dahe on top, and the letters from the court on the bottom.
The first few letters Xiao Jin saw were from Da He, and his expression became increasingly serious...
The content of the letter confirmed Xiao Jin's guess.
He continued to look down and his expression changed instantly.
It turned out to be a letter between the people in the court and Gongzhou...
In the next letter, his expression did not change much. It seemed that he had known for a long time that the Queen Mother had a connection with Gongzhou.
"It seems that the prince is not surprised at all by the Queen Mother..." Ling Chan said.
Xiao Jin was indeed not surprised. When Ling Chan had fought with Gong Dian in the palace before, and the commotion was so loud, he had sent people to investigate.
He put the Queen Mother's letter aside...
Ling Chan was puzzled and put the empress dowager's letter back in front of him.
Xiao Jin was stunned, "You suspect the Queen Mother and Da He...?"
Ling Chan glanced helplessly. How could the Queen Mother be in collusion with Da He? Da Qi's world was the world of the Queen Mother's biological son. She would never collude with Da He.
"I mean, don't ignore the letter."
"I want to find out why the Queen Mother wanted to kill my mother."
Xiao Jin picked up the empress dowager's letter again, "The empress dowager killed your mother...isn't that what the second wife said? Is it true?"
At first, only the people in Ling Mansion knew what Ruan Yiyu said. Later, Nanny Qu told the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother sent people to kill her.
However, the Queen Mother could kill Ruan Yiyu, but she could not stop the servants in the Ling Mansion from talking. Gradually, the rumor spread.
Ling Chan looked at him and originally wanted to say that the Queen Mother had also poisoned her, but... in the end she didn't say it.
After Xiao Jin knew her thoughts, he read the empress dowager's letter again.
There was nothing special in this letter, it just asked Gongzhou to encircle Qingyi Tower and send people to protect her.
It was because of this letter that Gong Dian of the Gong family appeared in the palace.
"I really can't tell anything from this letter." Xiao Jin told the truth.
"He is your uncle after all, why don't you ask him yourself."
Ling Chan raised an eyebrow. Why was she asking this? She should be at Yulu Temple right now.
"A few days ago, I sent a letter to the Emperor, explaining the situation at this martial arts conference. Several sects are vying for the position of leader, and Qingyi Tower is also participating. So, to give the Gong family a better chance of winning, I suggest that Princess Wanyue come."
"Many people in the martial arts world have had friendships with the Marquis of Zhenbei. The princess's arrival may change the situation."
"I'm going to pray for my mother at Yulu Temple for a hundred days," Ling Chan said.
"Praying for blessings requires sincerity of heart, and forty-nine days is enough."
Xiao Jin put down the Queen Mother's letter and said, "When the time comes, you will live in Floating Cloud Villa as Princess Wanyue. Regardless of whether Gongzhou has anything to do with your mother's death, he must treat you well."
"When the time comes, if you want to ask anything, you can just ask him directly and see how he tries to smooth things over."
Xiao Jin continued to suggest, "The key is that when the time comes, you can legitimately appear with Qingyi Building and become the owner of Qingyi Building."
"After all... as long as the identities of the people in Qingyi Tower are made public, you will be the legitimate master of Qingyi Tower."
The people in Qingyi Tower were Gong Lele's former female soldiers. Once their identities were revealed, no matter who the previous owner of Qingyi Tower was, Gong Lele's daughter Ling Chan was their real master.
At that time, the female soldiers in Qingyi Tower no longer had to hide their identities.
The so-called assassination of the imperial concubines in Qingyi Tower was just a misunderstanding...
Ling Chan acquiesced to his actions. She really had not thought of separating Ling Chan and the owner of Qingyi Tower into two people. She was Ling Chan and also the owner of Qingyi Tower.
She wanted the sisters of Qingyi Tower to stand in the world of martial arts with their own names in broad daylight.
They are female soldiers who once fought on the battlefield and should not hide their identities.
Xiao Jin picked up another letter and examined it carefully. "The handwriting of this letter seems familiar to me."
But I couldn't remember it for a moment.
In the court...there aren't many handwritings that can impress him, and the handwriting on this letter is not among those.
So he might have seen it accidentally...
Whose handwriting is this?
Ling Chan had her own guess. "Do you think this letter could be related to the Queen Mother?"
Her guess had no basis, it was just her sixth sense.
In fact, she could have asked whether it was related to the emperor's uncle Rong An.
According to the scanner's analysis, the handwriting on this letter was written two months ago. At that time, Liu Hong did propose to the emperor to go to the border to regain control of the tiger talisman, but the emperor had not made a decision yet.
Liu Huaiyu only informed her during the Lantern Festival, but this person was able to know it in advance.
Then he must be the one who accompanies the emperor and is the first to know his intentions.
This person... Apart from Rong An, Ling Chan really couldn't think of anyone else.
Ling Chan's guess was like a ray of light shining into Xiao Jin's mind. Yes, it was Rong An's handwriting.
He had seen Rong An's handwriting on the memorials approved by the emperor.
Because there were not many words in the comments on each memorial, he didn't remember them for a while.
Rong An...
Xiao Jin was in a depressed mood. Rong An was very good at coaxing his elder brother, and his elder brother was often led by him.
Rong An set traps for him several times, but he just avoided them and didn't investigate further.
Because he hopes for peace in the court, and in his heart, Rong An is a villain who is greedy for money, a typical villain who succeeds!
As the saying goes, a villain will show off his power when he succeeds. Once Rong An had power in his hands, he naturally became arrogant and domineering, and even oppressed officials and civilians.
But after all, he has the emperor above him to pressure him, and he and other officials in the court to check and balance him.
Xiao Jin thought Rong An's success was harmless, but he didn't expect...
He actually betrayed Daqi!
