On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

Three days later.

Thirty miles away from Jialing Pass, under the lingering cold air and the cool autumn wind, the two of them and their horses were walking slowly on the vast grassland.

Did Xu Changying tell Shen Lingyuan the place of Shen Chi's death? Shen Lingyuan and Ying'er came to the Lehe Grassland outside Jialing Pass after a simple settlement of the remaining affairs.

It's just that the traces left by Shen Chi here have long been buried by time, except for the endless weeds, there is nothing else to be found.

Yinger walked behind Shen Lingyuan obliquely, a pair of gentle almond eyes looked at Shen Lingyuan's tall and straight back from top to bottom, the smooth curves of limbs, and occasionally glanced at her sharp eyes when she was vigilant about her surroundings.

It really complied with that sentence - three days away from Shiba, you should look at it with admiration.Unexpectedly, after only seeing each other for two years, the once innocent and ignorant boy has grown into a man in an instant.

There is no longer the reckless recklessness of the past, and there is no trace of mischief. Today's Shen Lingyuan is stable, general-minded, and resourceful.

But it also lost some of the aura that young people should have.

Ying'er lowered her eyes.

How old is he?

At the age of more than ten years old, if he was in Beili at this time, he should be the Haoerlang who ran to his heart's content on the Zhiyuan field, dressed in fresh clothes, angered the horse, and drank with passion.

But now he is trapped in this whirlpool of power and cannot extricate himself.

What a trick.

Ying'er sighed softly, waved the horse's rein, and rode the horse to Shen Lingyuan's side, and the two walked side by side.

"My son, what's bothering you?"

Shen Lingyuan turned his head when he heard the sound, his sharp phoenix eyes softened in an instant, and he smiled at Ying'er, "It's still the same as before, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"There are also differences."

Ying'er followed Shen Lingyuan with a smile, "In the past, my son's thoughts were written on his face, and I could see it at a glance, but now I can guess it with half-truths and half-false relying on the tacit understanding we have gotten along with over the years. of."

"So, I have made progress?"

"You can also say that." Ying'er looked at Shen Lingyuan, "Is what the prince is thinking in his heart something that he can tell me?"

Seeing Yinger's questioning, the arc of Shen Lingyuan's mouth slowly disappeared. He missed Yinger's burning gaze and lowered his head. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly held the horse's rein tightly, "Woo!"

He stopped his horse, got off his horse, looked up at Yinger, and said seriously, "Sister Yinger, I want you to answer a question for me."

Ying'er also reined in, looking down at such a solemn Shen Lingyuan, she was stunned for a moment.

Shizi's knot seems to be more difficult to solve than she imagined.

Ying'er frowned slightly, then got off the horse, and faced Shen Lingyuan and said seriously, "Speak."

Shen Lingyuan bit his lip lightly, his phoenix eyes fixed on Yinger's eyes: "I want to know, who are you loyal to?"

"What did you say?"

Ying'er was very surprised, her eyes scanned Shen Lingyuan's face in shock, and it was written all over her face: Did I hear wrong?

She immediately asked back: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"I……"

Shen Lingyuan's expression was also very tangled, he seemed to be in a state of extreme struggle, so that the doubts in his heart almost affected everyone around him.

Including Ying Er, who grew up together since childhood, who is as close as a sister, is inevitable.

Shen Lingyuan turned around and said to Yinger, sorry.

He sighed, sat on the ground, looking at the sky in the direction of Xinxia City, his eyes were full of complicated emotions.

Shen Lingyuan said slowly: "Sister Ying'er, do you think father is really dead?"

Ying'er is now in a fog, she walked to Shen Lingyuan, and responded carefully, "Judging from the news we have received, Lord Hou has passed away, otherwise Emperor Xing would not be able to let it go so easily, let us A few have the opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven."

Shen Lingyuan knew that Ying'er was telling the truth, and so was the information he had learned, but there was always a premonition somewhere.

"But I think father is still alive."

Ying'er propped up her almond eyes slightly, and sat cross-legged beside Shen Lingyuan, "Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

"I re-integrated the old department after I returned from the snow mountain. Although everything seems to be working normally, if there is a major event, the seniors will never follow my wishes, so they are loyal to my father, not me. And, almost They are avoiding me as much as possible for all major matters, as if there is an invisible hand that has arranged everything, and Shen Lingyuan is not included in all of this."

Shen Lingyuan said that the light in his eyes was getting darker and darker. "Even Brother Xiao..."

Ying'er did not expect that so many things happened behind Shen Lingyuan's growth. She wanted to give Shen Lingyuan some comfort, but found that there was no way to do it. Finally, Ying'er pondered for a moment and said, "My son, the old ministry once followed Hou Master was born and died, and they are a life-and-death friendship, so if Master Hou leaves any last wishes, they will not obey. But I think that others may deceive you, but Lu Xiao will not."

"Why do you dare to be so sure?"

"Don't you know who your mother is?"

"I learned from Senior Tongchen that my mother is Princess Jingyun who married to Beili. She used to be a noble daughter."

It's just that Shen Lingyuan was discovered by Lao Wu in order to avoid tracing the identity of his mother, so the specific identity of Princess Jingyun has not been traced so far.

Shen Lingyuan: "Could it be that my mother clan is also involved in this matter?"

Ying'er nodded, "Although I am the queen who follows in Beili, I have heard Mama Liu mention that the queen's family is not an ordinary clan, but the Lu family of Donglin's famous general back then, and Lu Xiao is the queen. dear brother."

Shen Lingyuan suddenly widened his eyes, "You mean, brother Xiao, is my uncle?"

Shen Lingyuan, who had never changed his words after calling Brother Xiao for more than ten years, finally realized the eyes of Chang Xinghou who hated iron and steel.

"That's why I said that Lu Xiao will never hide it from you." Ying'er said halfway through her affirmative sentence, and suddenly her eyes flashed, she really missed a key point.

Ying'er hesitated: "Unless..."

Shen Lingyuan raised his eyes: "Unless?"

Ying'er's face became serious: "Unless, it has something to do with the tragedy of the Lu family. If it is involved in the tragedy of the Lu family being exterminated, he will keep silent to you if you don't protect Lu Xiao."

Shen Lingyuan has recovered from the shock just now. He has also heard about the tragedy of the Lu family's extermination. Arrogant and domineering in Autumn Hunting, he took credit for his pride, and actually cut off a pair of legs of the young Prince Rui because of a dispute over a red fox.

As a result, Emperor Xing was furious and ordered the massacre of Lu's family.

At that time, Lu Xiao was the one who told this story to Shen Lingyuan. He never thought that the person who was expressionless and calm after telling the story was actually the descendant of the Lu family, and he was also his uncle.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingyuan's heart beat faster, and he suddenly remembered what Lu Xiao had said to him in Su Shu's private school.

'If you must know, command me. '

At that time, Shen Lingyuan thought that Lu Xiao had received some order from his father, or someone's request, so he was holding back and couldn't say it clearly.

But now it seems that Lu Xiao is his uncle, and even his father's last wish cannot block the blood relationship between the two. Many years have passed since the tragedy of the Lu family. Can the emperor reverse the case?

A name suddenly appeared in Shen Lingyuan's heart.

Shen Yanqing.

If it was Shen Yanqing, Shen Lingyuan had an inexplicable premonition.

he can.

Shen Lingyuan had spent a lot of effort to search before, but Shen Yanqing wasted so much time, what was the purpose of doing these untraceable things at the expense of others and at the expense of himself?

Is it for the Su people?

However, those old people from the Su Kingdom in Shu Yipo had gradually assimilated with the people of Lin Country on the way of transporting gold, and it was the end of their battle to take Shu Yipo without anyone knowing it, and it was impossible to do anything else.

Is that for father?

But even though his father left Yeqi to Shen Yanqing, the leader of Yeqi was still Lu Xiao, a power he could easily regain, and the roster of the old department finally fell into Shen Lingyuan's own hands.

What is that for?

Shen Lingyuan had never dared to think or believe it before, but now the answer is ready to come out.

Shen Yanqing did it for him.

Maybe Shen Yanqing still has his own persistence in his heart, or the hatred of the country and the family, or fame and fortune, but it cannot be denied that Shen Lingyuan exists in Xinxia for a day, and Shen Yanqing's actions are all beneficial to him.

Whether it's hiding Shen Lingyuan in the Marquis' Mansion, saving Hualou, or going to the snowy mountains, everything is pushing Shen Lingyuan to regain control of the old ministry, or Shen Yanqing is pushing Shen Lingyuan back to Beili process.

Shen Lingyuan seemed to have touched an edge and was slowly climbing towards the center of the truth.

When Shen Lingyuan was immersed in his own thoughts, his whole body almost didn't move. Ying'er was really worried.

She first stretched out a jade hand and waved it in front of Shen Lingyuan's eyes. Seeing that there was no response, she was about to get close to Shen Lingyuan's ear and scream a few times, but suddenly the person in front of her grabbed her shoulder.

Ying'er was taken aback, and when she was still in shock, she heard Shen Lingyuan's urgent voice, "Something must have happened to Xinxia."

Ying'er rubbed her sore shoulder from the scratch, "Why did your son say that?"

Shen Lingyuan lowered his head and his eyes flickered, and raised his head when Yinger called, "Sister Yinger, I have a hunch that they will definitely overturn the Miemen case when I am not in Xinxia!"

"This!" Ying'er didn't believe that the fact that the dust had settled would change, but when she saw Shen Lingyuan's determined expression, she couldn't help being shaken in her heart.

She chased after Shen Lingyuan and hurried towards the figure of the horse: "My lord, if they are really doing this behind your back, it means that they don't want you to participate. Now we are too far away from Xinxia. It’s useless to be anxious, and we still need to think about it in the long run.”

Shen Lingyuan had just grabbed the reins of the horse, and after hearing some words from his own sister, he silently let go of his hand and turned around.

"You're right. If they really did it, it would be useless for me to rush to Xinxia now." Shen Lingyuan turned around and leaned on the saddle and took a few deep breaths. He closed his eyes, as if he was forcing himself clam down.

Ying'er didn't urge him, and let him adjust himself.

I don't know how long it took, when a gust of autumn wind hit, Shen Lingyuan slowly opened his eyes under Ying'er's gaze, and his eyes had regained their clarity.

He gave Yinger a grateful look back.

"Sister Yinger. Thank you."

Ying'er showed a relieved smile: "It doesn't have to be like this between you and me. Tell me, what do you want to do now?"

Shen Lingyuan thought for a moment and said, "I still want to go back to Xinxia."

Ying'er understands Shen Lingyuan's heart, she will not forcefully change his mind, but will only support: "It's fine if you decide, I will accompany you."

Shen Lingyuan shook his head: "I can go back to Xinxia by myself, Sister Ying'er, I need you to go to the Valley of Life and Death for me."

"Valley of Life and Death?"

"Yes. I want to know why Hua Lou committed suicide, and what is the truth that Brother Xiao is unwilling to tell."

What's more, Shen Lingyuan wanted to know what Shen Yanqing's truest purpose was.
