Lin Ruoxi raised her eyes and glanced at the man in black silver robe. His dark hair was hanging behind his back, his eyebrows were dotted with red cinnabar, his eyebrows were slender, his eyes were slightly purple, and his facial features were extremely delicate, making him look like a Taoist immortal.

Mrs. Situ whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear: "Ruoxi, this is Old Mo King's third son, Li Yunxiao. He once studied martial arts in the mountain. He just came down from the mountain not long ago. I heard that he was helping Old Mo King send troops to help and make special plans."

Lin Ruoxi could see that Li Yunxiao, the third son of Old Mo King, was indeed a very special person.

Princess Izumo introduced Lin Ruoxi into the house, followed by Mrs. Situ and the two young masters of the Situ family. Princess Izumo lifted the white silk covering Li Yunying's body. When she saw Li Yunying's ashen face, she couldn't help but stretch out.

He covered his mouth with his hands, turned his face away and cried.

Situ Bin kindly took out the handkerchief from his arms and handed it over. Princess Izumo took the handkerchief from him and choked softly towards him: "Thank you, Mr. Sixth Master Situ!" Then he covered his mouth with the handkerchief.

, couldn’t help crying.[

Lin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes and slid her slender fingers over the wound on Li Yunying's neck. The wound was not very deep. They must have been equally skilled in martial arts during the fight, but in the end Li Yunying was hit by the opponent's move and was wounded on the neck.

It was a slight scratch, but the sword was highly poisonous, so he died.

Lin Ruoxi took another look and saw that there was a dagger on Li Yunying's chest. The handle of the dagger had the emblem of the Situ family, but the blood on the blade of the dagger was not black, but red. This meant that Li Yunying

In fact, he died of poisoning first, and this dagger was stabbed into his chest after his death, in order to frame him.

From this point of view, there must be someone behind this who has trouble with the Situ family and deliberately caused grievances between the two families of Old Mo King and Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Situ was not afraid. After seeing the ashen look on Li Yunying's face, which was obviously different from the normal people who were killed by swords, she whispered in Lin Ruoxi's ear: "Ruoxi, how are you? Did you see anything?

?”

Lin Ruoxi nodded, and she said to Li Yunxiao, who was also dressed in black and silver robes like the old Mo King: "Mo King, Mr. Yunxiao, only after I saw the Sixth Young Master did I know why he died. He was poisoned on the sword.

He was scratched and poisoned to death during the battle."

Old Mo King said unceremoniously: "Do you need to say this? We have already seen it!"

Lin Ruoxi was not angry at all and continued: "The Sixth Young Master was first poisoned and died, and then he was stabbed into the heart with a dagger, but he was already dead and would be stabbed into the heart. There were only two in the end, not the Sixth Young Master and the

That man had a deep hatred, and when he saw that he was dead, he stabbed him with a dagger. This was simply a frame-up method, in order to let everyone see the emblem of the Situ family on the dagger."

Old Mo King himself had a bad temper. Although he felt that what Lin Ruoxi said was reasonable, it was clearly biased towards the Situ family. He said coldly: "Can Miss Situ say anything useful? What kind of frame-up, I'm looking at you.

This lie was created to excuse Situ Han."

When Princess Izumo heard Lin Ruoxi's words, she couldn't help but stop crying, stretched out her hand to pull the angry Old Mo King, and whispered softly: "Father, what Miss Situ said is actually very reasonable. Sixth Brother should have been killed by someone."

He was killed, and then framed by that person to the Situ family, just to cause conflict between our two aristocratic families. They were reaping the benefits, so in my opinion, we still have to pursue this matter of father and pay Situ back.

If the second young master is innocent, it can be regarded as avenging the sixth brother. Don't let him die in peace."

Although Old Mo King has a bad temper, he likes his daughter from the bottom of his heart and never yells at her. Old Mo King took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Mrs. Situ and said, "I don't know about this matter."

Let’s not argue with your Pingyang Marquis Mansion for the time being, let’s find out the murderer of my son together!”

Mrs. Situ nodded and said, "Okay!"

As soon as Mrs. Situ, Lin Ruoxi and others left the Old Mo Prince's Mansion, Princess Izuyun chased after her. She took Lin Ruoxi's arm, looked at her with a sincere expression, and said softly: "Ruoxi, I once heard from Jing Yu

You are said to be a very smart woman, who knows everything like a god, and nothing can be difficult for you, but I can feel that you will help you when you are in danger, and you will be lonely, so... if you need me, or someone in Prince Mo's Mansion

When someone asks for help, just ask, we will do our best to help the Situ family and rescue the second young master Situ, which can also be regarded as avenging my sixth brother."

Lin Ruoxi didn't expect Princess Izumo to be such a considerate and considerate woman. She nodded, smiled tenderly at Princess Izumo, then got on the Situ Mansion's carriage and left.

Back at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, everyone in the Situ family decided not to tell the old lady about this matter. The old lady had been suffering from cold recently and was not feeling well. They were afraid that she would not be able to bear it if she learned about it.

So I have to hide this from her.

Mrs. Situ summoned Lin Ruoxi, Situ Zhan, Situ Bin and Qing'er to the flower hall and asked Mo Xueyuan to guard outside the door.

When Qing'er learned that Situ Han had been captured, she had always been in a state of uncertainty. Mrs. Situ noticed her uncertainty and hurriedly persuaded her softly: "Qing'er, you don't have to worry. Han'er is very lucky and has a great destiny."

It'll be fine."

"Madam, actually the reason why I feel uneasy is because Empress Wu will not give us enough time to find the murderer. She will definitely be impatient to convict Mr. Han and execute him so that everyone in the Situ Mansion will pay tribute to him.

He was heartbroken, so he defeated and eliminated everyone in Situ's mansion one by one. After following her for so many years, I know Queen Wu's methods very well."

Lin Ruoxi sighed softly: "Qing'er is right, this matter must be related to Queen Wu, and Qing'er also analyzed the real reason why Queen Wu did this. She just wanted to defeat every member of our Situ family one by one.

One person can bring down the Situ Mansion, so she doesn't have to worry about how the Situ Mansion will hinder her succession and her crown prince's ascension to the throne."

Situ Zhan's obsidian eyes shone slightly: "Empress Wu seems to have been prepared for it. It seems that the border is in turmoil, and the emperor sent his father to suppress it. This must be Empress Wu's idea, in order to prevent her father from being away.

At that time, we took action against the Situ Mansion."[

Situ Bin nodded and said: "Yes, and if my father knows about this matter, I'm afraid it will take about ten days. Even if my father comes back, it will be too late. What's more, my father is currently in the flames of war, so it is best not to accept it.

Receiving such news will affect his mood and even threaten his life on the battlefield."

Situ Bin's words immediately made Lin Ruoxi sober up. She quickly stood up and said with a frown: "Sixth brother, what you said is so important. Empress Wu must have already started to take action. She pretended to pass the secret message to make her father think that

The second brother killed someone and was convicted and executed. The Situ family was in trouble, and they wanted to distract their father. Furthermore, they made him break military discipline and rush back to the Situ family, so that the emperor would convict the Situ family of violating military discipline and attempting to rebel.

...In this way, the Situ family will definitely become a piece of scattered sand."

After everyone heard what Lin Ruoxi said, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Lin Ruoxi hurriedly returned to the study, started writing a letter, and asked Mo Xueyuan to pass the letter to the Situ family's best messenger agent.

Situ Yu, who was far away in the border area, returned to the flower hall and saw that everyone in the Situ family was a little uneasy. There was a sound of raising their robes.

When Mrs. Situ saw Lin Ruoxi coming, she hurriedly walked over to hold her hand and asked, "Ruoxi, what should we do now?"

Lin Ruoxi looked at Qing'er, who was a little surprised. She didn't know why Lin Ruoxi looked at her like this.

"Qing'er, you must still know the bad things Empress Wu did, right?"

Qing'er nodded: "Of course I know, I have followed her for more than ten years, and I know everything she does!"

Lin Ruoxi raised the corners of her lips and chuckled: "Queen Wu, you must have never imagined that the wrong things you have done will make you pay the price!"

Within a day, there were rumors everywhere in the mausoleum city that Situ Han, the second son of Pingyang Hou Mansion, had killed Li Yunying, the sixth son of King Mo, but there was no movement from King Mo's family and Pingyang Hou Mansion. This made everyone

They all find it difficult to understand.

The next day, news came out in the palace that Situ Han had admitted that he had killed Li Yunying himself, and the emperor decided to execute him three days later.

This incident once again caused a stir in the mausoleum city, but this time Prince Mo's Mansion still did not arrange the funeral for Li Yunying, and there was no movement at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, which had to make everyone feel that this matter was too mysterious.

Until the day before Situ Han was about to be executed, Lin Ruoxi and Situ Zhan went to the prison to see Situ Han. At first, Jing Zhaoyin asked the jailer to guard him tightly and not let anyone in or out. But Jing Zhaoyin never expected that his confidant Ye

The prison officer was the disciple of Prince Mo. Prison officer Ye asked the jailer to be accommodating and let Lin Ruoxi and Situ Zhan go into the dungeon to visit Situ Han. Moreover, they could not tell Jing Zhaoyin about this matter. Of course the jailer knew that Prison Officer Ye directly

In charge of them, Prison Officer Ye was not light, so he stopped talking and obediently made way.

The door to the dungeon where Situ Han was imprisoned was opened, and Lin Ruoxi and Situ Zhan walked in. Only then did they see that Situ Han had messy hair, bruises all over his body, and chains on his hands and feet. He must have suffered a lot.

Situ Han raised his eyes and saw that it was Lin Ruoxi and Situ Zhan who came to see him. He couldn't help but stood up excitedly, but before he could stand firmly, he fell to the ground.

Lin Ruoxi and Situ Zhan hurried over to help him up. Lin Ruoxi sighed softly: "Second brother, you have to suffer here!"

Situ Han smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But even though I suffered like this, they still beat me into a trick. Because if I don't fight, they will drink me poisonous wine and kill me."

Situ Zhan stretched out his hand and gently put it on his shoulder, comforting him: "Second brother, you don't need to say anything anymore, we can all understand!"

Situ Han was obviously still emotional: "My little sister told me back then that no matter how they beat me, I would not give in, but if I didn't beat me, I wouldn't even be able to save my life. Even if you found out for me that I was unjust,

I’m afraid no one will be able to bring me back to life by then.”

Lin Ruoxi said softly: "Second brother, it's okay. I can feel the pain you are suffering. Fourth brother and I came to see you this time because we want to ask you clearly how the incident happened."

Situ Han recalled: "That day I received a message from Li Yunying inviting me to his home. Without thinking much, I went to Prince Mo's Mansion to look for him, but as soon as I entered his yard, I saw Li Yunying already lying on the ground.

Moreover, there was a dagger stuck in his chest. I had just approached him to see if he was dead. At this time, people suddenly came from the Old Mo Prince's Mansion and surrounded me. I said that I did not kill Li Yunying, but

They just didn't believe it, so Jing Zhaoyin came not long after, and before I could explain anything, he said that I had killed Li Yunying and took me into prison."

Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes and said thoughtfully: "It seems that they have already thought about attracting people from the Situ Mansion into the situation. They chose the second brother because the second brother is too honest and will not do anything for himself when encountering such a thing.

We found favorable evidence to excuse them, but their wishful thinking was too loud, and I'm afraid they won't succeed."

Situ Han looked at Lin Ruoxi and stretched out his hand to hold her: "Little sister, have you thought of a way to save me?" [

Lin Ruoxi nodded: "Second brother, don't worry, I have already thought of a way to save you, and you will be released soon."

Situ Zhan and Lin Ruoxi quickly left the prison, but a rumor suddenly spread outside that day, saying that Queen Wu actually killed many of the emperor's favored concubines, and that His Royal Highness King Mu's mother-in-law was also killed by the Queen, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mother-in-law.

He was also killed by Empress Wu, and his death was miserable. In the end, there was not even a complete tomb. Empress Wu was too cruel.

Rumors blew everywhere like the wind and spread everywhere. Soon they reached the palace and the prince's palace.

After the Crown Princess heard this rumor, she held out her belly, slightly raised the corners of her bright red lips, and slowly walked towards His Royal Highness, who was holding his forehead with both hands.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" The Crown Princess gently used her slender fingers to massage His Highness' head.

The blue veins on Prince Li Yuan's forehead protruded and he said angrily: "The Empress is really too much. She knew that my biological mother was not her, so she just robbed me. She also killed my mother and concubine, and abandoned his body in the wilderness.

There is not even a complete tomb, so my poor mother-in-law died a tragic death like this."

The Crown Princess sighed heavily: "Your Highness, I also think that the Queen Mother is too vicious!"

She suddenly seemed to remember something: "I heard that there is a good way to put the souls of the dead to rest. Your Highness, please think about it. Your mother and concubine died unjustly, and her soul must be peacefully restored."

, there is no way to reincarnate as a human being, but as long as we rest her soul and let her reincarnate as a human being, it can be considered that you have done this to her."

Prince Li Yuan couldn't believe it. He stared at the princess for a long time and asked, "I will not believe these stories about ghosts and gods!"

"Yes, Prince, you have never believed in these ghosts and gods, but recently many people have seen that the soul of your mother and concubine is walking around in the Prince's mansion. If you don't believe it, you can ask other people in the mansion.
