The Queen's Secret

Tao Mingyi arranged the trial in the afternoon, so that Qi Yuxin could go back to the old case room in the morning to prepare. After chatting for a while, the father and daughter went back to their rooms.

Qi Yu had just woken up, and her energy had improved a lot, so after doing some exercise in the room, she randomly took a book from her bookshelf to read.

After flipping through it a few times, Qi Yu realized that she couldn't stand it anymore, and felt a little annoyed, because tomorrow's trial was more or less because of that person...

crazy…

Qi Yu closed the book carefully, went to the bookcase and took out a wooden box with some flower patterns carved on it, just holding it in his hand, it seemed to smell the fragrance of flowers.

She opened the box, and there was a string of Buddhist beads inside, which were worn on her hands. The purple-black beads were engraved with scriptures, which were very delicate.

She quietly looked at the string of Buddhist beads in the box, and then sighed after a while...

"Mother...thank you."

This is her habit, every time when she is upset, she will take out this string of Buddhist beads to have a look, this is her mother's relic, she has been keeping it safe all the time, Qi's mother believed in Buddhism, since childhood She will tell Qi Yuxin some Buddhist principles, so Qi Yuxin has been indifferent since she was a child, and she followed her mother.

It's just that her mother has always been sick and weak. Even if she had been giving birth well, she couldn't survive that cold winter...

Qi Yu closed the box heartily, unwilling to look at it any more. Thinking about it, she should also take this string of Buddhist beads to the old case room, and she must be so upset in the future.

Qi Yu's heart became much calmer, and Qi's mother's voice, which was as light as a pear flower, seemed to echo in her ears, gently telling herself the principles of Buddhism over and over again...

Qi Yuxin lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and felt dawn...

The next day, before dawn, Qi Yuxin got up early in the morning. After freshening up, she found that Tao Mingyi hadn't woken up yet. She left a note and took the prayer beads and rushed all the way back to the old case room to prepare for the afternoon trial. matter.

When returning to the old case room, the sky had already lightened slightly. Qi Yu began to sort out the investigation records, and then carefully read them again. Not long after, Lin Qingxuan came.

"Yu Xin?"

Lin Qingxuan saw that the door of the old case room had been opened, and thought it was Meng Gan, but when he looked inside, he found Qi Yuxin sitting inside, motionless, like a beautiful jade sculpture.

"Qingxuan, morning."

Qi Yu turned her head to look at Lin Qingxuan, showing a slight smile. After sleeping, her spirit has improved a lot, her body is not as uncomfortable as yesterday, and her complexion is naturally much better.

"Are you feeling better? Why so early?"

Lin Qingxuan frowned, originally thinking that he would come to get ready early today, but Qi Yu's heart was earlier than her own...

"I'm fine now. Sect Leader Tao has promised Ling Xian to be interrogated in the auditorium this afternoon, so I'll come back early to prepare."

"This afternoon, so soon?"

Lin Qingxuan knew at a glance that the father and daughter had agreed at home yesterday, and it seemed that the notice would be published soon.

"Well, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, a trace of firmness that could not be refuted flashed across his face. Lin Qingxuan saw it, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

"I'll help you!"

Lin Qingxuan knew that Qi Yuxin couldn't be persuaded.

"Is Meng Gan still resting?"

Qi Yu asked with concern, but she didn't raise her beautiful eyes, which fell on the investigation record, looking engrossed.

"Well, Master Tao ordered him to rest for two more days. His arms and back were injured, so he couldn't move around much."

After Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, Qi Yuxin frowned at this moment, and said, "Well... you should rest more."

She didn't have time to visit Meng Gan yesterday, unexpectedly she was stabbed twice, she thought for a while, then asked: "Is the wound deep?"

"No, skin trauma."

Lin Qingxuan smiled, but that kid probably won't be able to move around for a few days, if the wound is pulled, it might rupture again.

"okay."

The wrinkles between Qi Yu's brows relaxed, and he lowered his head to continue looking at the investigation records. The two of them read and discussed while reading. After an hour, the arresting officer sent over the notice of the trial time.Later, after the two of them had a hasty lunch, they rushed to Huang Cunmen.

This time it is a trial behind closed doors, it is about people in the army, and the death of General Zhenbei has not been announced yet, so no one who has nothing to do with it can enter the trial.

There were three people kneeling in the hall, Ling Xian, Chen Erhua, and the soldier who cut and wounded Meng Gan.

Snapped--

The gavel sounded, and everyone raised their heads to look at Tao Mingyi. He was dressed in a crimson flying fish robe, and his gaze was like an eagle, sweeping across everyone's eyes, as if he wanted to see through everyone's flesh and blood.

"Chen Erhua!"

Tao Mingyi called Chen Erhua, he was shocked, and answered with a little trembling, then looked at Ling Xian beside him in horror, seeing that his expression was as usual, his lips were tightly pressed as if a sharp knife would tear him apart.

"Six days before General Zhenbei disappeared, you bought lime, sand and gravel. Did you use it yourself?"

Tao Mingyi asked, and Qi Yuxin's gaze fell on Chen Erhua, that cold gaze seemed to be a deep lake, quiet, as if hiding a ferocious beast ready to go.

"No ..."

After Chen Erhua answered, he looked at Ling Xian beside him, but saw that the man didn't look at him, but was still looking straight ahead.

"Who is that for?"

Tao Mingyi leaned forward, half-closed those torch-like black eyes, so frightened that Chen Erhua didn't dare to look directly at him, but then looked at Ling Xian beside him again, but that person still didn't look at him.

"answer my question!"

Tao Mingyi naturally noticed that Chen Erhua kept looking at Ling Xian, but Ling Xian didn't give him half a look.

"It's...Deputy General Ling ordered, I don't know what the purpose is..."

Chen Erhua swallowed, not daring to look around, Tao Mingyi continued to look at Chen Erhua, and said, "Then why did you escape to Xiliang City?"

When Chen Erhua heard it, her scalp felt numb, and she hesitated to speak.

Snapped--

The gavel sounded, and at this time Qi Yuxin noticed that Ling Xian's eyebrows had finally loosened, he frowned slightly, his eyes slightly looked at Chen Erhua, with the sharpness of a knife.

When Chen Erhua was about to look over, Qi Yu immediately said, "Answer your lord's question."

The cool voice brought Chen Erhua back to his senses, and he looked at Qi Yuxin, and that faint voice made Chen Erhua inexplicably relieved.

And Qi Yuxin also successfully prevented Chen Erhua from making eye contact with Ling Xian, because Qi Yuxin could see the warning in Ling Xian's eyes.

"Yes... Deputy General Ling told me to leave the capital immediately and not come back... Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

It was Qi Yuxin who spoke. She took a step forward to force Ling Xian, but it made Chen Erhua who was close to her feel more secure.

"Otherwise... just kill me..."

Chen Erhua immediately lowered his head, because an ant like him could feel the murderous aura emanating from Ling Xian...

Tao Mingyi did not interrogate Ling Xian immediately after listening, but turned his attention to the man beside Ling Xian, and said, "Chen Liang, why did you kill Chen Erhua?"

The man named Chen Liang was the one who stabbed Meng Gan. He frowned and said, "He has military secrets about the south. I was ordered to deal with him."

He spoke every word clearly, but the ending was extremely short. Qi Yu knew that he was guilty, and he also knew that he was starting to doubt the man beside him, Ling Xian.

"By whom?"

Qi Yuxin's voice was extremely cold, like icy snow hitting her ears, with a hint of chill.

"Deputy General Ling."

Qi Yu listened intently, sneered, and glanced at Tao Mingyi, Tao Mingyi understood, and said, "Is there a military order?"

"No."

Even if the assassination mission is carried out, there must be a military order, but Chen Liang doesn't even have a military order, so he wants to carry out the assassination mission?

"There is no military order, why do you dare to carry out the mission?"

"I trust Lieutenant General Ling."

These words sound firm, but only Qi Yuxin, who is closer to Chen Liang, can see clearly, his eyes flicker.

"I...I don't have any information about the south, my lord, I am wronged..."

"quiet."

Tao Mingyi told Chen Erhua to shut up, and then opened his mouth, saying: "I have sent someone to inquire about Chen Erhua's life experience. He has a clean background, and the people he has business dealings with are ordinary businessmen. When I cross the south, none of the people around me are from the south.”

When Chen Liang heard it, his face was cloudy and cloudy for a while, and he turned to look at Ling Xian, but Ling Xian didn't look at him. He instantly looked like a person drowning in water, wanting the people around him to give him a hand , only to realize that the people around him were the ones who pushed him into the water...

"I didn't let him do that."

Ling Xian spoke in a flat voice, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his face was very indifferent.

"you…!"

Chen Liang pointed at Ling Xian, gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but Ling Xian said, "If I asked you to do this, you should have a letter to prove it."

"...Well, Ling Xian, you know that the letter of the assassination mission will be burned after reading it, but you actually take advantage of my trust in you?"

Chen Liang flushed with blood, his face was flushed, and he said angrily, "I misread you!"

"Since there is no evidence, wouldn't it be too childish to convict me based on Chen Liang's words?"

Ling Xian looked very calm. If it wasn't for the twinkling light in his eyes, Qi Yu could hardly find any flaws in his face...

"Who said there is no evidence..."

Chen Liang looked at Ling Xian, his blushing face disappeared, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, while Ling Xian frowned, and looked at Chen Liang, the two of them looked at each other, and the courtroom fell into a momentary silence …

"I thought you were a trustworthy person...but no matter how trustworthy you are, you have to be careful. This is Lieutenant General Ling who you taught me."

Chen Liang sneered, watching Ling Xian frowned more and more, the feeling of revenge in his heart suddenly made him feel very refreshed, but it was accompanied by bouts of dull pain...

The dull pain of being betrayed by someone you trusted...

Qi Yuxin and Tao Mingyi glanced at each other. They knew that Ling Xian was difficult to deal with, and they had a way to deal with it, but they didn't expect that Chen Liang secretly kept a hand...
