Chapter 118: antecedent
Cui Lingling stared at the jade tablet in surprise, and said with emotion: "Your Highness is probably the most powerful prince in history."
Feng Lisheng said bluntly: "I borrowed this, and I have to return it when I use it up."
"That's His Highness's ability. Let's do it! Since there is a jade tablet as a token, then we, the Red Lotus Sect, will take over this task, and there will be news within half a month at the latest."
Feng Lisheng nodded: "Then I will leave everything to the saint."
Although Shen Mingjiao and Qin Yan who were on the side didn't understand what they were talking about, they quickly guessed what was going on with their intelligence.
After talking about this matter, Feng Lisheng looked like Qin Yan again: "Do you have anything to say to the king?"
Qin Yan glanced at Cui Lingling, the meaning was self-evident. Cui Lingling paused for a moment, pouted impatiently.
"Okay, just go, who cares to listen to your broken secrets!"
After finishing speaking, she didn't even look at him, and directly pulled Shen Mingjiao out angrily.
Qin Yan stretched out his hand subconsciously, but finally took it back again.
When there were only two people left in the study, Feng Lisheng looked at him suspiciously: "Aren't you going to chase after him?"
Qin Yan smiled and waved his hands: "It's better that she doesn't know about some things."
Thinking that the two might be allies in the future, it was rare for Feng Lisheng to say a word of persuasion. "There should be no secrets between husband and wife."
Qin Yan didn't answer. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew it in his heart. He is different to Cui Lingling.
But even so, the time the two knew each other was too short after all. He has always been on guard, and it is impossible for him to tell others casually about such a terrible thing.
Not wanting to continue this topic, he said directly to Feng Lisheng: "Your Highness, just ask whatever you want!"
Feng Lisheng took out the piece of rice paper that had previously recorded the information about the murder of the former crown prince before finishing the jade case.
"Tell me everything you know."
Qin Yan poured himself a cup of tea.
"When the first prince was born, I was studying in the Jiangnan area. After I got the news, I hurried back to the capital, but when I got home, I saw a white sail hanging on the gate from a distance. They all said that my sister couldn't think about it because the prince was killed. Throwing into the river.
But I don't believe it, because I know my sister. Although her character looks gentle, she is tough in her bones, and she will never commit suicide.
So at night, I sneaked into the mourning hall and opened the coffin for an autopsy. Although the entire face of the woman in the coffin was swollen with blisters, I could tell at a glance that she was not my sister.
I rushed into the front yard to question my parents. My mother touched my head and sighed and asked me to leave it alone, saying that this was the best way to protect my sister.
I was young and energetic at the time, and I heard a lot of rumors outside, thinking why our family was so aggrieved, why did my sister run away when she was clearly right!
So I ignored my parents’ objections and took someone to find my sister quietly, wanting to see if she was doing well. After all, my sister and I grew up together, and I found my sister's place without much effort, it's just..."
He closed his eyes and took a deep sip of tea.
"When I arrived with my men, my sister was being hunted down by a group of men in black. Those people trained fast. Although my sister had hidden guards by her side, there was a huge difference in the number of them. I immediately raised my sword and rushed forward, but At that time, I had only learned martial arts for a few years. Before long, all the guards beside my sister fell to the ground bleeding.
I desperately dragged my sister to run forward, obviously we had already got rid of those people, but a feathered arrow flew over from nowhere and shot straight at my sister's chest..."
Feng Lisheng interrupted him: "Impossible." If the Crown Princess had died by then, who gave birth to Shuo'er?
Qin Yan seemed to know what he was thinking, and continued: "At the same moment my sister fell, a black shadow flew over and took my sister away."
