On the way back to Beijing, out of concern for Zhao Zhiyue's health, the team slowed down their pace and walked for two hours, but they had just left the border of Tongzhou.

At noon, Shen Xuhuai led people into the mountain forest where Song Yinian was killed. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhiyue was also taken along.

Zhao Zhiyue was frail. In the past, when Zhao Guanglin was around, he would not even let her walk the road by herself, let alone climb the mountain.

After walking not far, Miss Zhao couldn't hold on any longer, her face turned pale, she clutched her chest with a look of pain on her face.

"Girl, are you okay?" Qiao Ling helped her stop.

Zhao Zhiyue reluctantly pulled her lips: "It's okay."

Shen Xuhuai walked in front with others, but no one followed him for a long time. When he looked back, he saw that the person was still stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't we let Miss Zhao take the key and we can go up ourselves? If we continue like this, we might not be able to find the place even after dark."

"Zhao Guanglin has always loved this daughter. If Song Yinian had not been silenced, he would not have made such a move. I am afraid that even she herself would not know that Zhao Guanglin gave her such an important thing."

Wen Sheng was confused: "But I asked my maid to check Miss Zhao's body. Except for some simple jewelry, there is nothing else."

"Yes," Ling Qingyan admitted frankly, "I look at the Cai family, and only Cai Wenbin behaves like a gentleman, so if you want to find out the secrets of the Cai family, you need to start with him."

His younger sister entered the palace and became a concubine, his first wife passed away suddenly, and the home he cared about ceased to exist a long time ago. Now that the cold mansion stood there, he had the idea of ​​​​escape.

Fu Xiuyun immediately sent people to Tongzhou to provide support. He would never allow the same thing to happen again.

Ling Qingyan had no intention of hiding it: "Four years ago, the imperial concubine Huimin died of illness, and the last person she saw during her lifetime was Cai Yuan. Although I don't know what happened specifically that day, but the night after Cai Yuan left the palace, the imperial concubine hanged herself. It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty is alienated from the Cai family."

Zhao Zhiyue didn't know why Shen Xuhuai brought her here, but when she saw the red among the green, her dark eyes gradually regained their luster.

Zhao Zhiyue didn't want to keep them waiting, so she forced herself to continue walking. She had been pampered since she was a child, and it was very difficult for her to walk in the mountain forest densely covered with dead vines and weeds.

Mo Shu felt that relying solely on gentlemanly demeanor was unreliable: "But he is the eldest son of the Cai family, so how could he do something detrimental to the Cai family?"

Mo Shu still hesitated after hearing this: "But it's just like this, can Mr. Cai agree to us?"

Shen Xuhuai looked at Zhao Zhiyue who was resting on a tree trunk in the distance and said, "That's why I have to take her with me."

Cai Wenbin was a little absent-minded, especially after hearing the news of Shen Xuhuai's disappearance, he always felt that the secret was more than that simple.

"It's true that he is the eldest son of the Cai family, but his sister was sent to the palace by Cai Yuan, and his wife died because of it. If this is not enough, then I have to tell him about that."

Ling Qingyan looked at his thin figure disappearing into the dusk, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness: "He is also a pitiful person——"

Shen Xuhuai waited for her intentionally, and the accompanying guards also deliberately slowed down their pace. This made her a little embarrassed. She tried to keep up with his pace, but just after taking a few steps, a sharp bird song suddenly came from the forest.

Zhao Zhiyue looked at the knife so close at hand. Her body seemed to be frozen. She forgot to call for help or run for her life. She thought that she was probably going to die.

She was ready to die, but the next moment, there was a sudden weight on her shoulder, and a huge force made her fall backwards. As she rolled down the hillside, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw the red figure holding a sword.

Impaled the enemy.

When he found this place, Ling Qingyan also felt strange. What happened to make Cai Yu die regardless of the prosperity of his family? Unfortunately, the old man serving in Changchun Palace had already been executed, and the eldest lady also wanted to find out.

The truth about halal can only be obtained from the Cai family.

At first, the doctor did not notice that Mrs. Cai was poisoned, but it was not until later that he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Then, it disappeared and then...

"." Wen Sheng was speechless. After talking for a long time, the prince showed no sympathy at all.

"Besides that, there is another thing," Ling Qingyan continued. "After the death of Imperial Concubine Huimin, the eldest wife of the Cai family, Cai Wenbin's mother, became ill and died shortly after. According to what was given at the time

The doctor who treated Mrs. Cai said that Mrs. Cai did not die of coughing, but of poisoning."

Mo Shu poked his head out from behind him: "Master, are you here specifically to wait for him?"

Mo Shu's curiosity was completely aroused: "What's the matter?"

It is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide, which will bring harm to the mother's family. Cai Yu often goes in and out of the palace, how could she not know about this?

The ministers stayed in the government palace all day, and then left the palace one after another in the evening.

He is actually a good person.

"Girl? We should go." Qiao Ling's voice brought back Zhao Zhiyue's distant thoughts.

"What?!" Mo Shu cried out in surprise, realized something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth, "Sir, according to what you said, Mrs. Cai was poisoned?"

Zhao Zhiyue was suddenly shaken. In an instant, several black shadows flashed out from the green bushes, and the cold sword light rushed towards her face with murderous intent. Murderous intent was everywhere, and people were shouting loudly.

She recalled that day in the dark cell, when the blazing red came into view, and a hint of warmth seemed to flow through her heart.

Cai Wenbin didn't want to go back to that deserted home, so he told his father and went to Dali Temple.

She looked up and saw that Shen Xuhuai had already walked far away.

The water in the big family was so deep that the doctor did not dare to say anything for fear of getting into trouble. After visiting twice, he found an excuse to leave the capital. If Ling Qingyan hadn't followed the clues and found him, he would have forgotten that such an incident had happened to the Cai family.

thing.

"That's right."

Thinking about Liu Shu's death, he vaguely guessed something, but looking at his father's heavy and vicissitudes of life, he suddenly lost the courage to speak.

The news that Shen Xuhuai was assassinated and disappeared at the border with Tongzhou quickly spread back to the capital, which undoubtedly reminded people of Liu Shu, who died unexpectedly a few months ago.

Two groups of people fought in chaos. The fighting during the day was more clear and profound than the assassination that night.

The Cai family is no longer the Cai family of the past, everyone has changed.

They bear the same surname, live under the same roof, hypocritically and carefully maintain their so-called kinship, but the blood flowing in their bones has long been different.

The sky was getting dark, and Ling Qingyan looked up at the plaque hanging high, with the words "Dali Temple" written clearly on it.

Shen Xuhuai was assassinated in Tongzhou. It seems that some secrets were discovered. The Cai family acted in such a hurry that they seemed to have decided to take action.

Ling Qingyan let out a deep breath and said, "Let's go, we don't have much time left."

His mother was poisoned at home. With Cai Wenbin's intelligence, it was not difficult to guess the reason. There was also the matter of his wife and sister.
