That night, Gu Xingyan told Li Shuangwan what had happened that day.

"Are you saying that Ling Heng gave Mo Yu the snake venom?"

Gu Xingyan pursed her lips: "It's not him."

Li Shuangwan thought seriously for a moment, and the line inside was connected with a little effort.

"It really can't be him. With Ling Heng's current strength, even if he defeats Ling Ji and Ling Yao, he still can't take that position. Right now, the most important thing for him to do is to conserve his energy and watch the other people fight to the death. In the end, he will emerge and reap the benefits."

In his previous life, Ling Heng did just that, to the point that Emperor Jingzhang didn't even realize until the end that he was being led by Ling Heng.

On her first day in the palace serving tea, Concubine Wan Shu used her to get rid of Concubine Duan and the Sixth Prince and his mother.

Not long after this, Concubine Wan Shu's father, Minister of Personnel Wan Liming, was reported for corruption and bribery, and most of his money was spent on Ling Yan. Ling Yan and his mother became the second prince to fall after the sixth prince Ling Xian.

The remaining ones are Crown Prince Ling Ji, Second Prince Qi Ling Yun, Third Prince Ling Yao. Ling Ji and Ling Yao are legitimate children, and have the Duke of Dingguo behind them. It would be very difficult for Ling Heng to bring them down.

The biological mother of the second prince Ling Yun was Princess Zhaoguo. From the day he was born, he was destined to have no chance of that position.

Li Shuangwan looked at Gu Xingyan fiercely: "It's Cui Jingyu, isn't it him? The Hu family was abducted in Liangshan, and it was him who did it, just to frame Ling Yao. So, this matter must have been done by him! He wants to push Ling Yao into a desperate situation step by step, so that Emperor Jingzhang will order him to be punished."

Gu Xingyan couldn't help but praise in his heart, "How clever! Miss Li is really smart."

He nodded.

"In his previous life, Ling Heng used other people to eliminate his enemies step by step, and he became the biggest winner. In this life, Ling Heng did not expect Cui Jingyu to help him eliminate these stumbling blocks one by one. Oh, Cui Jingyu, in this life and in the past, he has been working for Ling Heng!"

Gu Xingyan wanted to say a few words for Cui Jingyu, but he swallowed the words back because he had promised him.

Li Shuangwan looked at the man in front of him with burning eyes: "Assassinating the crown prince and colluding with Zhao Mingshan to plot for the crown prince's position, although these two things touched the reverse scale of Emperor Jingzhang, they were not enough for Emperor Jingzhang to depose him immediately."

Gu Xingyan smiled and said, "So, we can let Emperor Jingzhang know about the kidnapping of Hu Zhenfang by the bandits in Liangshan."

In the darkness, Li Shuangwan's eyes were very bright, as bright as the brightest star in the sky, and Gu Xingyan couldn't take his eyes away.

Li Shuangwan felt relieved and smiled, "That's right. This way, Emperor Jingzhang will never believe that those people are bandits."

Gu Xingyan nodded: "He will think that this is Ling Yao's private soldier."

Li Shuangwan: "Now that Ling Ji has been deposed, it is only a matter of time before Emperor Jingzhang issues an order to depose him from the position of Crown Prince. If Ling Yao is removed, the two legitimate princes of the Queen will no longer be eligible to compete for the throne."

"Emperor Jingzhang may tolerate other things. He enjoys watching the princes fighting each other to death. But if someone threatens him, even if it is just a small suspicion, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"

Li Shuangwan looked at the man in front of him steadily: "Even if that man is his son."

At this moment, Gu Xingyan's eyes were focused on the woman in front of him, "Even if that person is his son!"

He smiled gently: "Okay, I will write a letter to Cui Jingyu right away."

"it is good."

"The three letters have been placed in Chu Tower. I believe it won't be long before Lu Dongqing can present the letters to Emperor Jingzhang."

……

The next afternoon, Li Shuangwan was dealing with the accumulated chores during this period, with Yizhu and Roman serving by his side.

Suddenly, he felt a suspicious gaze coming over here. Without even raising his head, Li Shuangwan said to Roman, "Bring the person over here."

Roman was dozing off, and when he heard the sound he looked up immediately, and saw a man standing at the gate of Lexiao Courtyard, looking around, looking very suspicious.

She strode over and pulled the man out: "What are you doing sneaking around? Did Miss Yao send you here?"

"Sister Roman, I, I didn't, I..." It was a little servant girl, with tears and fear on her face, her face was pale, she grabbed Roman's hand that was holding her, and begged bitterly.

Roman was very angry. He grabbed the maid by the collar, dragged her over, and threw her in front of Li Shuangwan: "Princess, it's Xue'er, Miss Yao's maid."

Xue'er kowtowed several times and said, "My lord, my princess, I did not eavesdrop. I did not."

"Roman, help Xue'er up."

Luo Man helped the man up. Li Shuangwan closed the account book and looked at Xue'er, whose forehead was red from knocking. He said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Princess, you, you don't doubt me, my servant?"

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly, "Don't say I haven't said a word while sitting here dealing with the account books. You can't hear anything at all. Even if you stood at the gate of the yard and looked around for a long time without coming over, you knew I would find you. So, you didn't come here because of your master's order, but because you came to see me on your own."

Li Shuangwan put the account book in his hand on the low table beside the table, picked up the tea to moisten his throat and then said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xue'er looked very unhappy. She stood at that corner for a long time. Cold sweat appeared on her back layer by layer. The sweat was dried by the cold wind, but soon appeared again layer by layer.

Ever since she overheard the conversation between Zhou Caiyao and Aunt Zhao yesterday, she had been thinking about it the entire night and was too sleepy to dare to sleep.

She was extremely scared, fearing that if Zhou Caiyao found out about her eavesdropping, she would lose her life.

He was also afraid that the princess was kept in the dark and the general and his wife were deceived by her. The princess was so good, how could she be fooled by a foreign actor?

Moreover, after serving her for such a long time, she knew that this Miss Yao was not as good as she seemed.

Whenever she encounters something unpleasant, she will take it out on her, using all sorts of underhanded means, beating and twisting her in places that cannot be seen by outsiders.

After tossing and turning all night, she finally mustered up the courage to come to Lexiaoyuan. Even if she died, she would not let the princess be deceived.

Thinking of this, Xue'er looked at Yizhu and Luoman who were standing beside Li Shuangwan, then knelt down again, put her hands on her forehead, leaned over to the ground and said, "Princess, I have something important to tell you."

Li Shuangwan said: "Just tell me directly, I have nothing to hide from them."

Xue'er stood up, her eyes full of envy for Yizhu and Luoman. "Yes. Yesterday afternoon, I heard what Aunt Zhao said to threaten Miss Yao."

Xue'er told everything she heard and saw.
