Xiao Lingyue didn't know what Zhan Beihan was thinking: "There is only one problem now."
Zhan Beihan smiled: "Second brother?"
"That's right." Xiao Lingyue admitted.
She sighed: "This is also my fault. I thought you deliberately let King Xiang bump into me, and wanted to use him to forcefully reveal my identity. I was very angry, so I didn't hide it from King Xiang anymore and admitted it to him." Shen Wan' is me."
Therefore, now King Xiang knows very well that "Shen Wan" and Xiao Lingyue are the same person.
"If His Majesty asks about this matter after returning to Beijing, Prince Xiang will definitely tell the truth. He will not deceive Your Majesty easily." Xiao Lingyue continued.
Zhan Beihan looked noncommittal: "Then what are you going to do?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "It's up to you what to do. If you are willing to talk to King Xiang, he may turn a blind eye to your face. If you don't want to,"
"What do you want? Kill people and silence them?" Zhan Beihan said.
"Prince Xiang is the prince of the imperial court, and there is Concubine Shu in the palace. How can it be so easy to kill people and silence them?"
Xiao Lingyue curled her lips, "There's no need for me to kill someone just because of an identity issue, right?"
Zhan Beihan said: "This matter involves the crime of deceiving the king. If I don't help, how are you going to keep it secret?"
Xiao Lingyue curled her lips indifferently and said, "Prince Xiang is a smart man, but it's a pity that the people around him are not smart."
Zhan Beihan's heart moved: "For example?"
"The Hu family alone has a lot of tricks behind their backs, and I happen to know some of them," Xiao Lingyue wrote lightly.
"So-"
Zhan Beihan suddenly smiled, with a dark look in his sharp eyes, "If I don't help, are you going to use the Hu family and even Concubine Shu to go to Prince Xiang, make a deal with him, and silence him?"
Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "That's right."
Zhan Bei said coldly: "Where did you get the handle on the Hu family?"
Xiao Lingyue looked at him calmly: "I don't need to tell you, right? Of course I have my own channels for information."
After a pause, she continued: "You don't think that I left the capital for six years and came back with Beibei without even making any preparations for self-defense, right?"
That is of course impossible!
She took Beibei back to Beijing, and as soon as she arrived on the outskirts of the capital, she met Shen Wan who was being hunted.
Why can Xiao Lingyue recognize who Shen Wan is at a glance? He even knows a lot about her background and the situation in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion?
Because she investigated in advance.
What noble families were there in the capital city of Northern Qin? What was the background of each family? The personnel relationships, as well as the intricate network of relationships between different officials in the court, Xiao Lingyue could check everything.
Naturally, this includes the Hu family.
Otherwise, how would she know that Concubine Shu had a grudge against Concubine Wen? How would she know that the Shen family and the Xiao family were related by marriage?
Xiao Lingyue shrugged: "I have always been cautious. The more chips in my hand, the better. Maybe I will use them at some point."
Zhan Beihan looked directly into her eyes: "Who taught you this?"
"What?"
"Who taught you such destructive means of threatening people and sealing silence/deals?" Zhan Beihan's voice was cold.
Xiao Lingyue laughed self-deprecatingly: "Why do we need anyone to teach us here? When a person wants to protect himself, what means can't be used? What's more, Beibei is involved. When necessary, even if..."
