Ji Linglan looked at the shoe prints on it and smiled, and put the three round stools together.

"My lord and princess, please look, Miss Mu Jin and Miss Gao are about the same size, standing on the same round stool, but the shoe prints are different..."

"What's so strange? People have the same body shape, but the size of their feet is not the same, and the patterns on the soles can lead to different shoe prints. It's ridiculous that you are so sensational!" Ji Linglan was caught consciously Gao Xuzhi couldn't help a burst of cynicism.

Ji Linglan smiled and said: "Master Gao is right. The size of the feet, the pattern of the soles, and even the way of walking can all leave different footprints. The difference between the three sets of footprints I mentioned is not the same. It’s not the differences just mentioned. When people walk, the force of the soles of the feet is different, and the weight of the footprints left is also different, but no matter what, it will not leave as complete as the scene, and almost every place is stressed. The same footprints. Unless he deliberately printed this footprint on the round stool. I don't think Miss Gao still has the heart to do this when she is determined to die."

The complacency on Gao Xuzhi's face has not disappeared, and it became gloomy again.

"Also, the stool was overturned on the ground just now. If Miss Gao really hanged herself, then she kicked over the stool, but there are no other footprints or dirt on it except for the two exceptionally clear footprints. , This is obviously unreasonable. Just like this footprint, this is why Xiaomin put the second round stool on Hibiscus just now." Ji Linglan looked at Gao Xuzhi and said, "Master Gao, do you think Xiaomin's suspicion is Is there any reason?"

Gao Xuzhi glared at Ji Linglan angrily, and said, "Then tell me, who is the murderer who killed Ling'er? When they entered the room, the door and windows were all bolted inside. If there was a murderer, what did he do?" escaped?"

"It's very simple." Ji Linglan came to the door, took down the latch, showed it in front of everyone, and said, "Look, everyone, there are traces of sharp objects on the bottom of the latch, as long as the latch is placed near the entrance location, close the door, and use a dagger to poke the latch little by little. As for who the murderer is, I don’t know. But the general process of committing the crime is now clear. Someone must have stunned Miss Gao beforehand. Then he hung her up with a rope and forged the scene of her suicide. Judging from the rigor and corpse spots, the time of death should be around midnight last night. If Mr. Gao wants to investigate the real culprit, you might as well ask the servant Gao Miss's maid, have you heard any special noises, or encountered people acting strangely?"

Fu Nanling praised without hesitation: "Alan is worthy of being Alan, she really is a great talent!"

Ji Linglan smiled modestly, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

If it is in modern times, he can do more, but without high-tech instruments, many things cannot be tested.Just like whether there are drugs such as anesthesia/anesthetics in the body of the deceased, what are the ingredients, how long does it take to work, and so on.He also thought about testing the things with Tang Tang, but the source of the things was hard to explain, and without theoretical support, people here would not believe it.

Xu Shi Ai Wu Ji Wu, Fu Lianyang looked at Ji Linglan with a more gentle look, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, if you have the opportunity, you can recommend it to the emperor. It's a pity that such a great talent is not an official."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan, his eyes were full of pride, and he said with a smile: "Aunt Huang, Ah Lan doesn't like officialdom, so it's better to stay by my side, I won't bury his talent."

Fu Lianyang nodded and said, "Alright. I can rest assured that you have such a smart person by your side."

Fu Nanling looked at Gao Xuzhi, and said: "Master Gao, it turns out that this Gao Meier did not commit suicide because of a lesson from this king, but he did not know who offended him, which led to his death. I also hope that Mr. Gao will be killed as soon as possible." Find out the murderer and restore my king's innocence."

Everyone knew that Gao Meier was killed because of Fu Nanling, but it was not something that could be put on the table.It didn't take long for Fu Nanling to turn from the perpetrator into the victim, and the case was halfway through, and he wanted to leave the case.Gao Xuzhi's heart is so greasy, it's like eating shit.

Seeing that Gao Xuzhi was silent, Fu Nanling smiled, turned to look at Fu Lianyang, and said, "Aunt Huang, I haven't eaten the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made for a long time. I wonder if Ling'er is lucky today?"

Fu Lianyang smiled softly and said: "Ling'er wants to eat, Aunt Huang will make it for you, let's go back to my yard, let's talk for a while."

Fu Lianyang and Fu Nanling walked out of the room together, completely treating Gao Xuzhi as air.

Gao Xuzhi's face changed again and again, like a palette, and he said angrily, "Come here, arrest the people in the lady's room and interrogate them severely!"

The guard at the door responded, "Yes!"

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life..."

Listening to the wailing in the yard, Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and her impression of Gao Xuzhi was even worse.

Fu Nanling took a step slower, and when Ji Linglan came to him, he asked in a low voice, "Ah Lan wants to help them?"

Ji Linglan was stunned, and then said softly: "This matter is of great importance, I know it in my heart, and I will not overestimate my capabilities."

Although Ji Linglan has good thoughts in his heart, he is not a holy father, and he will not be overwhelmed by everything, not to mention that he is just a poor man who is nothing. Dead ants.

Fu Nanling couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he wasn't afraid of Ji Linglan taking care of him, with his support, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone except Fu Lianchao.It's just that his life is not long after all, without his protection in the future, he is afraid that Ji Linglan will not end well because of his kind heart.

Fu Lianyang's courtyard is called Peony Garden, which is the largest and most exquisite courtyard in Gaofu. There are various varieties of peonies planted in it, and the peony is surrounded by each other, which is very spectacular.Even Gao Xuzhi's courtyard cannot be compared with Fu Lianyang's. It can be seen that in this so-called Shangshu's mansion, who is the real master, this is the imperial power.

Fu Lianyang and Fu Nanling took their seats one after another, and the maids served refreshments for them.

Fu Lianyang looked at Ji Linglan and the others, and said with a smile: "You three sit down, there are not so many rules here."

The three looked at Fu Nanling one after another, waiting for him to speak.

Seeing this, Fu Nanling said: "Aunt Huang told you to sit down, so you sit down and see what I do."

"Thank you princess for giving me your seat." The three of them took their seats one after another.

Fu Lianyang looked at Fu Nanling and asked softly: "Ling'er, I heard that the imperial brother is choosing a princess for you recently. Do you have a favorite girl?"

Fu Nanling smiled wryly, and said: "Aunt Huang, you have watched me grow up since you were young, and you know my body best. I am destined to live a short life, so why bother with other people's daughters."

"What is Ling'er talking about? There are no medicinal materials in the palace. It will surely keep you alive for a long time. What's more, being able to marry into the royal family and marrying you is the blessing of those ladies who have cultivated for generations. Ling'er As long as you open your mouth, no matter who's daughter, who dares to say a little more."

"Aunt Huang, you also said that you are marrying into the royal family. They have to agree because of the emperor's order, but they will be unwilling in the end. Ling'er thinks that is an insult to me."

"Ling'er..."

Fu Nanling interrupted Fu Lianyang and said: "Aunt Huang, listen to me. I know that I was born in the royal family. Although I have a high status, I have too many things to do, just like Aunt Huang. I was weak and unable to survive. For a long time, those lofty things are destined not to be mine. I just want to live freely and willfully. If Aunt Huang really loves me, don't force me so that I can live more comfortably in the few days. "

Fu Lianyang frowned slightly, and said, "Then your heir?"

"Aunt Huang, my father has so many sons, and the royal heirs are thriving. I am not the only one. What's more, with the relationship between me and the second emperor brother, if he becomes the prince in the future, then I will even have an heir. Can I die well? Don't just say something, don't take a life for nothing." Fu Nanling said it very straightforwardly, spreading out and crushing everything.

As Princess Fu, Fu Lianyang is well aware of the cruelty of the royal power struggle. Although he doesn't want to admit it, Fu Nanling is right. Since ancient times, many members of the royal family have died at the hands of their brothers and relatives, and they are no exception.

Looking at Fu Nanling's pale face, Fu Lianyang felt both distressed and helpless, and said, "Don't worry, Ling'er, as long as Aunt Huang is here, I will take good care of you. I will talk to your father."

Fu Nanling's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly expressed his thanks: "Thank you, Aunt Huang, you have treated Ling'er well, and Ling'er will keep it in my heart. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay Aunt Huang."

"What are you talking about between my aunt and nephew. Ling'er wants to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Just wait, I'll make it for you."

Fu Nanling stayed in the peony garden until the afternoon before leaving. The two aunts and nephews talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. It can be seen that Fu Lianyang really loves Fu Nanling.Ji Linglan saw it and felt happy for him.

In the car, Ji Linglan opened the curtain and sat in, looked at Fu Nanling, and asked: "My lord, Princess Danyang and Mr. Gao don't seem like a husband and wife..."

Fu Nanling glanced at Xiao Lizi, Xiao Lizi understood, bowed his body and exited the carriage.

Fu Nanling nodded and said: "There really is no relationship between Aunt Huang and Gao Xuzhi, their marriage is just a political marriage."

"Then what is the origin of your maternal ancestor's family?"

In one family, there is not only a favorite concubine, but also a princess, which is rare even in a wealthy family, not to mention that Gao Xuzhi also took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice.In the world before Ji Linglan, the son-in-law recruited by the princess could not hold important positions in the imperial court.

"My grandfather was the founding hero who followed the emperor's grandfather to conquer the world. After the founding of the Fu Kingdom, he stayed in the frontier and spent his entire life as a soldier, guarding the territory of the Fu Kingdom. She is the eldest princess of Lan Kingdom, and the most beloved princess of the Lord of Lan Kingdom. She doesn’t like red makeup and loves military uniforms. She met her grandfather in a battle. Sending a marriage team to Fu country, grandma took the opportunity to persuade the leader of Lan country, and also sent a marriage team, and the person who made the marriage marriage was grandpa. Since they got married, Fu country and Lan country have lived in peace for dozens of years."

Ji Linglan smiled and said: "A Ling, your grandma is really a hero among women!"

In such an era, it is really admirable for this eldest princess to be able to lead the army and fight, and even resolutely pursue her own happiness!

"Grandpa and grandma have a very good relationship. They have never taken concubines in their life, and they don't even have a housekeeper. There are only three children, concubine mother, aunt and Gao Xuzhi."

"Is your aunt the mother of Mr. Li Xiangwan Li?"

Fu Nanling sighed, and said meaningfully: "Yes, it's a pity that he married someone who was not a human being, and passed away early."

"So now the relatives of your maternal ancestor's family are only Mr. Gao?"

"Dear one?" Fu Nanling smiled sarcastically, and said: "Knowing that the other party killed his only daughter and framed me, he not only didn't want to find out the truth, but instead contributed to the flames, trying to prove my crime. I took it as a stepping stone, but as long as he cares about a little bit of affection, he will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing."

Ji Linglan patted Fu Nanling's arm, and comforted him: "A Lingmo is sad, this kind of person should be recognized early, so that he won't be stabbed in the back in the future. Since he has already fought, you don't have to worry about it in the future."

Fu Nanling held Ji Linglan's hand tentatively, and said, "Alan, as long as you are still by my side, I don't care how others treat me."

Looking at the deep feeling in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan was stunned for a while. He seemed to realize something, but he was not sure. He just frowned slightly, withdrew his hand, and said uncomfortably: "Isn't there still an emperor and a princess?" Spoil you, don't think about it all day long."

Seeing Ji Linglan's reaction, Fu Nanling's eyes flickered, and he changed the subject: "Alan, in your opinion, is the murderer someone from Shangshufu?"

When asked about her major, Ji Linglan quickly threw away the messy thoughts in her mind, and said, "I think so. The most important thing to complete this series of operations is to fascinate Gao Meier, and There are two ways to ingest the drug, one is to infuse food or tea, and the other is to use burning incense. I checked the teacup on the table, the tea in it is full, and the same is true in the teapot. It shouldn't be a problem with the tea. And there is an incense burner on Gao Meier's dressing table, and there are burnt spice residues in the burner, and I speculate that it is probably mixed with drugs."

"If it's as Ah Lan speculates, then the person who killed Gao Meier must be someone close to her, otherwise she would not know that she has the habit of incense before going to bed."

"I think so too, but it's just speculation. As for the truth, no one seems to care." Speaking of this, Ji Linglan couldn't help sighing, and said: "A life is lost like this, but no one cares." The truth, I really feel sorry for Gao Meier."

"This is the cruelty of reality." Fu Nanling suddenly looked at Ji Linglan seriously, and said, "Alan, I'll tell you the truth, I want that position."

Ji Linglan was startled, and then remembered the dream she had had, Fu Nanling was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair.He looked at Fu Nanling and couldn't help thinking to himself: "Do I really have the ability to predict?"

"Alan, even for you, I have to sit in that position. I can't let anyone have the possibility of hurting you."

Hearing Fu Nanling's swear words, Ji Linglan's calm heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly moved his eyes away and said, "You are a prince, so you naturally have the capital to sit in that position. If you want to, you can do it. I It's still the same sentence, as long as you don't let me down and the people of the world, I will always stand by your side."

"Alan, I..."

Before Fu Nanling finished speaking, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Xiao Lizi's voice came from outside, saying: "My lord, King Ping's carriage is blocking the way, I don't dare to make a claim, please show me your lord."

Fu Nanling who was interrupted was not happy at all, but when he heard that it was Fu Nanping, he was even more annoyed.If it was normal, he would definitely not back down, but there was Ji Linglan in the car, and he didn't want the two of them to have a chance to meet, so he forcibly endured it.

"Detour."

"Yes, master."

The carriage backed up slowly, and stopped after not going far.Then Xiao Lizi's voice came: "Master later, the servant will clear the way."

Ji Linglan lifted the curtain behind the car, looked back, and saw an overturned carriage blocking the back, the wheel of the carriage fell off for some reason, and the driver was anxious to repair it.This alley is rather narrow, and the carriages of Fu Nanling and Fu Nanping are big and spacious, one carriage can still go, but two cannot.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared behind the overturned carriage, wearing masks and holding weapons, and rushed towards the carriage they were in.

"No, there are assassins." Ji Linglan's complexion changed, she lifted the curtain to look at Lu Jiu, and said, "Brother Lu, they must be after the prince, the enemy is dark and we are clear, take the prince away quickly, Big Brother Liu and I will take the back seat."

"No! If you want to go, go together, if you want to stay together, I will never leave you!"

Fu Nanling understood the real purpose of this assassination almost instantly. They were not targeting him, but Ji Linglan.And Gao Meier's death was probably just a decoy.

"A Ling, don't make trouble! Only when you go out can you find a chance to save me. Besides, don't forget that I can escape from Gao Wei's hands four times, and they can't catch me." Ji Linglan grabbed Fu Nanling He pulled him out of the carriage with his wrist, and said, "Brother Lu, the prince will leave it to you, hurry up!"

Fu Nanling tightly held Ji Linglan's hand, and said forcefully, "If this king does not leave, anyone who dares to disobey this order will be executed immediately!"

Seeing the seriousness in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan was both heartbroken and helpless, took out the anesthesia spray from her sleeve pocket, and said with a smile: "A Ling, wait for me obediently at the palace."

"Alan, you..."

Without waiting for Fu Nanling's reaction, Ji Linglan sprayed on him, supported his limp body, handed it to Lu Jiu, and said, "Brother Lu, the prince will leave it to you."

Lu Jiu fended off a man's attack, took Fu Nanling over, put it neatly on his body, and said, "Alan, come back safely, otherwise the prince will really deal with us."

Ji Linglan smiled and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry, I will return safely!"

Lu Jiu took a deep look at Ji Linglan, jumped onto the carriage, jumped onto the roof again, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Seeing someone rushing towards him, Ji Linglan drew out his self-defense dagger, and leaned forward.Although he is not considered a master, after all, he has practiced boxing and kicking for three years, but he restrained the two of them by dodging from left to right.He looked up at Liu Xi, and found that Xiao Lizi was also a master, also holding a dagger, his hand was at most a bluff, while Xiao Lizi's hand was a murder weapon.

After entanglement for a long time, Ji Linglan found that the other party suddenly withdrew his hand several times when he was about to hurt him. After such a back and forth, a strange idea popped up in his mind, these people seemed to dare not hurt him.In order to verify his idea, he deliberately bumped the blades of those two people, and the result was just as he expected, the two people quickly retracted their knives, their eyes were full of fear, as if they were the ones who were cut.

After confirming his thoughts, Ji Linglan started to run amok. Those people were messed up by him, creating a chance for Liu Xi and Xiao Lizi to breathe.The two counterattacked, seeing each other's people fall one after another, more than half of them were lost in a blink of an eye, but they were also injured one after another.

Ji Linglan knew that if things went on like this, one of the two of them would definitely confess here. He looked at Fu Nanping's carriage in the distance, narrowed his eyes, and looking for the right opportunity, he approached the two of them and whispered: "Brother Liu, little brother Li Zi, don't want to fight, you go first, I have a way to escape."

"No! The servant promised the master that he will protect the young master well even if he dies."

Compared with other people, Xiao Lizi is more aware of Ji Linglan's position in Fu Nanling's heart. If he ignores Ji Linglan today and escapes by himself, even if Ji Linglan is fine afterwards, Fu Nanling will not punish him severely. Will trust him again.

Ji Linglan was stunned, and said anxiously: "Didn't you find out, they won't hurt me, I think it's easy to get away, but you are different, if you really hurt someone, I will be restless for the rest of my life."

Xiao Lizi said stubbornly: "I swear to protect the young master to the death!"

Seeing this, Ji Linglan was very anxious, looked at the carriage beside her, and said in a low voice, "Then I will get out first, and you guys will leave later. Remember, you must find the carriage."

Xiao Lizi was taken aback for a moment, but before he could reply, the two of them were dispersed by a killer.Ji Linglan galloped towards the carriage, but the other party wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to hurt him, so he could only put away his weapon, but he never thought that Ji Linglan, who was not big in stature but not weak in strength, was knocked into the air all at once go out.

Seeing that the carriage was in front of her eyes, Ji Linglan had no time to rejoice, a figure flew over suddenly, hugged him into his arms, then tapped his toes, and landed firmly on the ground.

"In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone dares to assassinate the prince of a whole country, how audacious! Come, kill without mercy!"

A man's voice came from above, Ji Linglan looked up and found that it was King Ping.He frowned slightly, then stood up, withdrew from Fu Nanping's arms, bowed and saluted, "Xiaomin see His Highness King Ping."

The familiar yet unfamiliar voice, and the haunted figure made Fu Nanping feel dazed for a moment, and then he helped Ji Linglan up, and said softly, "Ah Lan, don't be polite."

Obviously many people called him that, but Ji Linglan felt bored from the bottom of her heart for some reason when she heard Fu Nanping calling him that.

Ji Linglan took a step back, distanced herself from Fu Nanping, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Ji Linglan looked at the two sides in the battle. With Fu Nanping's people joining them, those people are not opponents and will be killed soon.

Seeing the masked people fall down one by one, only one person was left alive, Ji Linglan hurriedly said: "My lord, keep alive!"

"What?" Fu Nanping didn't seem to have heard what Ji Linglan said.

Before Ji Linglan could reply, the last person also died under the knife of Fu Nanping's guards.

Ji Linglan's eyes flickered, and she bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me."

After Ji Linglan finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave, but Fu Nanping grabbed her wrist.

Ji Linglan struggled, but failed to break free, he frowned and looked over, and asked, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Fu Nanping just acted subconsciously, just like countless times in his previous life.He came back to his senses, let go of Ji Linglan's hand, looked at Ji Linglan's arm, and said softly, "Alan is injured, I'll help you apply the medicine."

Ji Linglan looked at her right arm, she was cut at some point, and her clothes were already soaked in blood, but because of her nervousness, she didn't realize it at all.

"Xiaomin can handle it by himself, don't dare to bother the prince." Ji Linglan respectfully kept a distance from Fu Nanping, not giving him the slightest chance to catch his mistake.

The wounded Liu Xi and Xiao Lizi came over, saluted together and said: "This servant (subordinate) has seen His Highness King Ping."

Fu Nanping glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said, "Excuse me."

Ji Linglan said aloud: "My lord, all three of us have been injured and need to be healed as soon as possible. I dare not delay my lord's business, so I will leave first."

Fu Nanping looked at Liu Xi and Xiao Lizi, and said, "You two step down, I have something to talk to A Lan about."
