Princess Rongling looked at Jin Ling and said, "You mean, someone in the mansion has long been secretly saying that she is thinking about Yang'er?"
"This slave has heard so many times..."
Princess Rongling looked at Yin Ling and asked, "Have you heard of it too?"
Yin Ling nodded, "There are indeed people behind the scenes who are using this matter as a joke to ridicule Lu Tao, saying that she is in charge of everything, even in the man's house."
Jin Ling Yin Ling is a little younger and does not take care of things on weekdays. She only follows Princess Rongling to attend to some trivial matters or go out with her.
Everything in the yard is under the control of Lu Tao and Lan Xin.
Lu Tao is undoubtedly very capable. She knows all the errands in the house. She is also the most effective talker among the four girls. With his face, he obeyed the servants in the yard.
Lu Tao's mother, Mama Zhong, was Song Yang's wet nurse, so Lu Tao went to Song Yang's yard more often and would help straighten out some things on weekdays, which made people gossip about her. He was interested in what happened in Song Yang's house.
Over time, everyone had such a guess in their minds, but no one dared to say it out.
Now that Lu Tao has made a big mistake and is nowhere to be found, all the words that he had kept in his mind came out at once.
Princess Rongling's eyes burned with anger, "It's so ridiculous!"
Just as the two girls were about to persuade her to calm down, the little girl came over to report that it was Chang Lan who was next to Miss Li.
Princess Rongling was a little puzzled and quickly asked someone to come in.
Changlan entered the room, handed over a box, and said: "Princess, Cuijinlou has recently woven a batch of snow yarn, and made some silk handkerchiefs as samples. The girl asked me to give you a few for fun."
Princess Rongling was not in the mood to give her a handkerchief now, but Li Qingyi kindly sent it to her, so she smiled and asked the girl to take it, "Yi'er is interested."
Chang Lan did not leave, but looked around.
Princess Rongling understood immediately and ordered: "You all go out first. I have something to explain."
After everyone else had retreated, Changlan told Princess Rongling Li Qingyi's previous guess.
Princess Rongling was shocked when she heard this, "What? You said Lu Tao is dead?"
Chang Lan said: "After all, we girls have never seen Miss Lu Tao. We don't know what kind of temper she is. We can only make guesses out of thin air. We just came to remind the princess to prevent her from being deceived. If there is someone around her who is secretly causing trouble, it is better to do it as soon as possible. It’s better to clear it.”
Princess Rongling had treated Princess Yuanheng coldly for many years and refused to interact with her. However, Princess Yuanheng was not angry at all and readily accepted Princess Rongling's embarrassing advances. Li Qingyi felt that she actually liked him very much. This sister always remembers the friendship between the two when they were young.
When she heard that something had happened to the Yongping Marquis Mansion, she asked people to ask about it several times.
So Li Qingyi didn't mind helping Princess Rongling. After all, Princess Rongling didn't have any bad intentions, but she was just a little petty.
If she was really a snob, she would not have been cold to Princess Yuanheng when the Queen Mother was alive. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, she has come to reconcile with Princess Yuanheng.
If she could treat Princess Yuanheng sincerely, Princess Yuanheng wouldn't have anyone to talk to.
Changlan saw Princess Rongling's eyes were red and said, "Actually, in my heart, Princess Rongling doesn't believe that Lu Tao will harm the young marquis, right?"
Princess Rongling nodded silently.
When Lu Tao followed Mama Zhong into the mansion, Princess Rongling had just given birth to a child. Her motherly love almost overflowed the Yongping Marquis Mansion. She was also very tolerant of Lu Tao. For more than ten years, she almost treated her as half a daughter. , otherwise I wouldn’t have said that I would accept her as my adopted daughter.
Princess Rongling was very sad when she said that Lu Tao had framed Song Yang.
At this time, she heard from Changlan that Lu Tao was probably dead. She couldn't accept it for a while, and it was even more uncomfortable than not being able to find Lu Tao.
Seeing that she was in sorrow, Chang Lan knelt down and said, "I will go back now."
"etc."
Princess Rongling stopped Chang Lan and said, "Whether Lu Tao is dead or alive, I have to find her first. Did you girls say anything else? Where could Lu Tao... be?"
"The last time anyone saw Lu Tao in the house was until the princess returned to the house the next day. Is there any chance to transport the body out during this period?"
Princess Rongling's heart trembled, and she knew where to start her investigation, "I know, thank you girls for me."
After Changlan left, Princess Rongling fell into silence.
If it wasn't Lu Tao who stole the short arrow and framed Yang'er, who would it be?
The woman who was watching the night said that she saw Lu Tao get up and go to the hut in the middle of the night. She said she had a stomachache. Could it be that someone had deliberately given something unclean to her while she was eating? Fortunately, he took the opportunity to strike when she got up at night?
And Linglingxiang in her room.
Linglingxiang has a calming effect, but it can only make people sleep a little deeper. Lu Tao will inevitably wake up due to severe stomach pain. In this way, the murderer has achieved his goal, neither being discovered by Lan Xin nor You can lure the green peach out and kill it!
Princess Rongling's heart beat wildly, there was such a terrifying person hiding next to her.
She thought for a while and called Jin Ling Yin Ling in. She didn't mention anything about what Chang Lan had just said. She just asked, "Has the Marquis returned home?"
Jin Ling said: "The Marquis just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that there is progress at Dali Temple and he will be back later."
Princess Rongling stood up hurriedly, "Is there any progress?"
"Yes, it seems to be that people from Dali Temple found a woman's bones in a wolf den. I don't know if they belong to Yan Qiao."
Princess Rongling frowned and said, "Change my clothes for me. I'll go to Dali Temple to have a look."
The two girls knew that she was thinking about the young marquis, so they didn't dare to hesitate and went to get the clothes quickly.
Princess Rongling quickly went out and when she arrived at Dali Temple, the bones were brought back by the people of Dali Temple.
Marquis Yongping asked: "Why are you here? If you look at this kind of thing, you might have a nightmare."
Princess Rongling glared at him, "The dead are as scary as the living?"
Marquis Yongping was choked by her yelling, touched his nose and stopped talking.
The people in Dali Temple had long heard that Marquis Yongping was henpecked, so when they saw this, they turned around and suppressed laughter, pretending not to see it.
Princess Rongling walked up to the corpse. The corpse was covered with a layer of white cloth, and the outline of the bones was vaguely visible.
She said she wasn't afraid, but when she arrived, she was still a little frightened, "Can the bones be identified as those of Yan Qiao?"
Cui Chun, who had just been promoted from Shaoqing of Dali Temple to Minister of Dali Temple, personally came forward to explain to her, "The skin has been gnawed by wolves beyond recognition. In many places, it is only connected by muscles and bones. It is difficult to identify. However, there is a broken wound on the toe of the corpse. It can be seen that It's an old injury from a long time ago, I wonder if the Lin family will be able to tell it after they come here."
Princess Rongling froze when she heard this. When she heard the words "There is a broken toe", her head buzzed!
She didn't hear a word of what Cui Chun said later!
Marquis Yongping noticed something was wrong with her and wanted to ask, but Princess Rongling's next move shocked everyone!
She suddenly opened the white cloth and looked straight at the feet of the corpse!
