Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 323 The 2rd Victim

Since he has said he wants to cooperate, Leng Xiao will definitely show his sincerity.

He readily agreed: "Okay, it's in the letter my father wrote to Lin Yuan that year. The letter revealed that many people from Zhaoyue Kingdom came to Jiangnan during that period."

"Among them are some members of the royal family. They frequently show their goodwill to my father. They probably want to bribe him to help them do things."

"But given my father's character, he will definitely not agree to their request."

After a moment's silence, Chu Yan asked again, "Did Lord Leng reveal who was the one who was trying to make advances and hint at him?"

"One of the letters mentioned it. It was Yuyun Peak."

Chu Yan frowned slightly.

"Husband, who is this Yu Yunfeng?" Seeing the expression on her prince's face, Shen Yindi knew that it might not be a good thing.

The next moment, Chu Yan gave the answer.

"Yuyunfeng is the current monarch of Zhaoyue Country."

"He probably hadn't succeeded to the throne yet at the time Master Leng said that."

"So Lord Leng was convicted of treason back then? And then his entire family was killed?" Shen Yindi sorted out the truth of the matter a little.

"Yes, but the person who killed the whole family has not been found yet. Some say it was a righteous man from Da Chu who acted on behalf of heaven, some say it was assassinated by someone sent by the imperial court, and there are also rumors that the Zhaoyue Kingdom killed people to silence them after seeing the truth."

Shen Yindi understood. No wonder they all looked unhappy.

"So the case has not been overturned until now?"

"Yes, there must have been someone investigating secretly, but after more than ten years, there is no strong evidence." Chu Yan told what he knew.

"Just like your case, it seems to have become a cold case."

"I'm not surprised by this. It turns out he's a habitual offender. He's been planning this for a long time! Just to destroy one person!" Shen Yindi clenched his fists.

"Master Leng, rest assured. This investigation into my prince's affairs will surely involve the events of the past."

"My prince is the second victim!"

"Your father's grievances will certainly be cleared up, and we will report to the emperor and vindicate your father!"

"Now we have found more and more clues. I believe the truth will be revealed in the near future! Both my prince and your father will be cleared of their grievances!" Shen Yindi said with a solemn oath, and anyone who heard it would be excited.

Especially the two parties involved.

Even if you manage your facial expression well and appear calm, your heart is already in turmoil.

"What Adi said is absolutely right. This king is now very confident."

Leng Xiao also nodded.

"I will continue investigating and will definitely find out the truth." His tone was very firm.

"This matter should have nothing to do with Lord Lin. If Lord Lin is blamed for Lord Leng's incident, then he will be able to destroy another pillar of the court of our Great Chu! He wants to kill two birds with one stone. He is really a traitor."

There was anger in Shen Yindi's tone.

Leng Xiao did not express his opinion. He said in a low voice, "Whether it is related to him or not, I will naturally find out."

"Yes, you can reasonably suspect anyone before the truth is revealed. But Shuya is our friend, and we have a very close relationship. She is just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Lord Lengmen, please do not embarrass her for our sake."

Shen Yindi intercedes for Lin Shuya.

Leng Xiao also readily agreed: "Okay, I won't do anything to her until I find out the truth."

"Okay, then I would like to thank Master Lengmen."

"By the way, where will Lengmen live in the future? Is it still outside the city? It doesn't seem very convenient." Shen Yindi asked thoughtfully.

Leng Xiao saw her expression and asked in a low voice, "What does Princess Zhenbei think?"

Shen Yindi smiled and said, "If the unpopular one wants to listen, then I will tell you my humble opinion."

"Might as well just say it."

Chu Yan also looked at her, wondering what good ideas his A Di had.

Only Shen Yindi's clear voice was heard: "I suggest that Master Leng live in Lord Lin's house."

This proposal is really bold.

Even though Lin Shuya had said so before, he had not yet decided.

Shen Yindi continued to explain: "Since Master Leng still thinks that Lord Lin is a suspect, then live in his house and watch over his family."

"On the other hand, Lord Lin will set off to the south tomorrow to quell the rebellion. The journey is long and dangerous, and we don't know when he will be back. Only Shuya and her mother will be left in the Shangshu Mansion, an orphan and a widow. By then, Lord Leng can help take care of them."

"There is one thing that the cold master may not know."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"The Queen had previously intended to have the current Crown Prince Chu Heng marry Shu Ya and make her the Crown Princess."

"But Lord Lin refused, and because of that, I offended the Queen."

"Based on our experience dealing with the Queen during this period of time, we know her character very well. She will definitely take revenge in secret. Now that Lord Lin is about to go south, I am worried that she will take the opportunity to deal with Shuya and the others."

A hint of surprise flashed across Leng Xiao's eyes, but it was fleeting.

After a while, he found his voice again: "I will consider it."

"it is good."

"Master Leng may have something to say to them alone, so the prince and I will not disturb you."

"If you have anything to do, just call me. By the way, why don't you stay for lunch together?" Shen Yindi also made the same invitation.

"it is good."

Leng Xiao agreed.

Afterwards, Shen Yindi took Chu Yan away.

In the main courtyard, Lin Shuya and the others were still chatting. Seeing Shen Yindi finally come back, they immediately called her over.

"Adi, what's the situation with those killers? I haven't even checked them out yet!" Si Qi asked curiously.

She slept very late today and when she got up, Shen Yindi and Chu Yan had already entered the palace.

She also didn't want to go next door to see it herself.

"He has recovered well and can walk without any problem, but his internal injuries are very serious and he won't recover in a short time." Shen Yindi said truthfully.

Si Qi curled his lips, his voice a little depressed: "My brother was a bit heavy-handed at that time."

"That's normal. Pavilion Master Si Yin is also eager to protect his sister. Not killing her outright is already considered restraint." Shen Yindi said disapprovingly.

"Indeed. My brother has always loved me."

"Don't worry, as long as they stay in the palace and receive my treatment, they will get better one day."

"That's true. After all, you are a miracle doctor. It's their blessing to have you heal their wounds."

Shen Yindi smiled and didn't ask too many questions.

She looked at Lin Shuya and asked, "Shuya, when will your father leave tomorrow?"

"They should be leaving soon. They are gathering troops today, and the imperial edict arrived at home early this morning."

"Okay, let's go over to see Lord Lin tonight and give him a farewell party."

"Witchcraft is prevalent in the Miao area of ​​southern Chun, and there are also a lot of poisonous insects and miasma. I will bring some ointments and pills to him tonight, so he can carry them with him for self-defense." Shen Yindi mentioned.

When Lin Shuya heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said gratefully: "Adi, thank you so much!"

Shen Yindi waved her hand disapprovingly: "You're welcome. I'm just trying my best. I hope Lord Lin can return safely."

After a pause, she added: "There is something else I want to tell you."

"Ok?"
