In the yard, Lin Bai teased little Susu for a while.
The little girl and Xiao Jiu were playing Tianli Cube in a competition. Speaking of which, Xiao Jiu's condition seems to have improved a lot recently. She is also extra energetic and has less coughing.
According to him, it was the imperial sister who gave him some supplements recently that were more effective than before.
Tuberculosis was also called a disease of wealth in ancient times, and ordinary people could only wait to die.
But Xiaojiu is a prince, so it is naturally different.
And there is a sister who loves him so much, and her sister is now being chased by the princes, so one can imagine.
Lin Bai didn't take it seriously. It was always a good thing that his condition improved, even if it was temporarily suppressed.
"Uncle!"
Just when he and little Susu were having a great time, Yan Gang suddenly came.
During this time, Yan Gang had been ordered to investigate Chai Yue's affairs.
The two came to the study room, and Yan Ruxue was also there.
Lin Bai asked directly: "What did you find?"
Yan Gang said: "Back to my uncle, according to my uncle's wishes, in order to ensure safety and not be discovered, the progress is very slow, but we did find something."
Because the matter involved the queen, Lin Bai's request was to leave it alone regardless of whether he could find anything, safety first, and not to be targeted.
Yan Gang continued: "At that time, only one of the eight guards around the Queen died, and finally left the Prince's Mansion. Based on the data, we found the hometown of the last survivor, and found that he had never returned, and, His family, like other fallen guardsmen, also received pensions."
"In other words, his family thought he was already dead."
oh?
Lin Bai's eyes lit up, could it be Gu Ping'an? He was ordered to go to Liangzhou, and then stayed at Feiyun Escort Agency for some unknown reason?
"Have you ever asked if he is left-handed?"
After so many years, I can’t remember the appearance of those neighbors at all, nor can I describe them, and it’s not like we have photos in modern times.
But you can't change the fact that you are left-handed. Although this doesn't mean anything, it is a reference.
Lin Bai also asked Zhuiyue that in her memory, her father was indeed left-handed.
However, to Lin Bai's disappointment, Yan Gang shook his head and said, "My subordinates have confirmed that the guard is not left-handed, but..."
Having said this, he paused and continued: "My subordinates specifically investigated the eight guards around the queen at that time. Coincidentally, one of them turned out to be left-handed. His name is An Sidao."
An Sidao?
Lin Bai's pupils shrank slightly, Gu Ping'an? There is also the word "an", is it just a coincidence?
"But when An Sidao was in Cangzhou, he died in battle to protect the Queen."
Lin Bai asked: "Is there a body?"
this!
Yan Gang paused for a moment. It was so old that he was really not sure whether he had seen the corpse.
Yan Ruxue interjected: "I heard from my father that when His Majesty and the Queen returned to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River, they were attacked by the Red Lotus Sect when passing through Cangzhou. It is said that that time was very dangerous. The guards originally wanted to escort Your Majesty and the Queen to evacuate in a small boat, but The queen was so frightened that she gave birth prematurely and was unable to move.”
"The Queen's eight bodyguards swore to protect her to the death. Seven of them died in the battle and one was seriously injured. Fortunately, His Majesty's reinforcements arrived in time, otherwise the Queen and the Queen would have been doomed."
"Because that battle took place on the water, the bodies of many soldiers who fell into the water could not be found. Although some were salvaged afterwards, some were still not found. In the end, the court could only register and issue pensions to the living."
Lin Bai's eyes brightened slightly, "In other words, An Sidao may not really be dead. Is it possible that he is still alive?"
Yan Ruxue nodded, "It is indeed possible."
Lin Bai thought for a while, then looked at Yan Gang and said, "Very good! Next, you can check this person named An Sidao and see if you can find the files from that year and see if there is his body."
"In addition, the last survivor should also check his whereabouts."
"yes!"
Yan Gang took the order.
Lin Bai then explained a few more words, and then Yan Gang withdrew.
In the study room, Yan Ruxue was a little puzzled. Lin Bai had not told anyone else about chasing the moon yet, so he just told the story.
"Chasing the Moon? Do you suspect she is the Night King's daughter?"
After learning this, Yan Ruxue's bright eyes were full of disbelief.
Lin Bai shook his head, "It's not certain yet, but it's very likely. Even if it's not, Chai Yue's origin is definitely extraordinary."
Yan Ruxue nodded, but then shook her head and said, "There's something wrong."
Lin Bai asked: "Which point?"
Yan Ruxue said: "You said that the person behind the suspicion kept Chai Yue in case it would be of any use in the future. If that was the case, why did they want to destroy the Feiyun Escort Agency? This looks like murder and silence."
Lin Bai said, "Perhaps their plans have changed? At that time, they wanted to stay for emergencies, but then the Night King became depressed and may not have felt the need to stay any longer."
Yan Ruxue shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. It was already ten years after the Zhuiyue family's disaster. By that time, the Night King had long been depressed. In other words, he had to be killed sooner."
"Furthermore, if the Queen is really killing people and silencing them, and she recognizes Zhui Yue, then Zhui Yue should be very dangerous, but it's not. Instead, she treats Zhui Yue very well."
"Before, I thought it was because I saved the sixth prince last time and the mother of a country set an example. But when you say it like this, it seems that there is something different. Even if you just show off, it was enough at the time. It cannot always be like this."
"You must know that the Sixth Prince is not her flesh and blood. She is not pretending to be fond of Zhui Yue, and there is no need to pretend."
"And this is very contradictory to the behavior of the person behind it, so I believe that this matter most likely has nothing to do with the Queen. At least she is not the one who silenced her."
"good!"
Lin Bai nodded, "This is exactly what I am confused about."
"Now we can only wait for Yan Gang to confirm Gu Ping'an's identity and whether he is An Sidao."
He really didn't want to investigate this case, but he had no choice. His Majesty and the Night King were urging him, and it might be related to Chasing the Moon, so he had no choice but to continue.
Fortunately, things have been going on for so long, and neither of them has a time limit, so they will look for it slowly.
Safety first.
The talented man didn't want to offend the big bosses in the palace, so he specifically told Yan Gang that it didn't matter if he slowed down, the key was not to be targeted.
Early the next morning, Yan Ruxue asked her husband to get up. The talented man said that his Majesty had already asked to postpone the appointment for half an hour, but he refused to get up and instead tormented Miss Yan.
It was not until he had enjoyed himself that he got up calmly. By the time he arrived at the palace, it had already been more than half an hour.
Those courtiers who were used to getting up early had been waiting for an unknown amount of time.
What's even more incredible is that Lao Zhu, who is always on time, didn't arrive even after half an hour today, even later than Lin Bai.
This seems to indicate some attitude.
The talented man said that it was a big loss. He had known that he should have tortured Miss Yan for half an hour longer. Don't worry, I will come tomorrow.
