Instigated by the martial arts master Ying Chuanlin, He Yuting went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the crime.
Lu Wenzheng suppressed his anger and had no choice but to order his servant Rong'er to summon Ling Yun at the Commandery's Mansion in the east.
After about a stick of incense, footsteps sounded outside, and Ling Yun walked in from the outside with a graceful look and elegant steps.
His brows are gentle and noble; he has a faint smile on his handsome face, with clear facial lines, sword eyebrows slanting into the temples, a straight and three-dimensional bridge of his nose, and a pair of clear and deep eyes, shining with a moving expression as bright as stars. .
He was dressed in a light blue plain brocade official uniform with a hundred flowers, which covered his slender and strong figure, making his whole body appear more upright and straight, like a jade tree facing the wind, with a heroic and unrestrained posture.
Ling Yun first saluted Mr. Lu, then turned around and saluted He Yuting with a smile.
Ying Chuanlin's breath stopped, and he pinched his palms tightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yun, a look of disbelief flashed across his face.
Last night, Ling Yun was poisoned by his "Ten Steps to Fall in the Wind" in the Heavenly Prison. If there was no antidote, there would be no way he would have survived; even if he didn't die now, he would still be dying and lying in bed unable to get up. .
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun was standing in front of him calmly and calmly as if nothing had happened, and he also looked cool and composed. How could he not feel confused?
Ling Yun's clear and smart eyes turned, "Oh, it turns out that senior brother is here too. It's been a long time!"
A sneer flashed across the corner of Ying Chuanlin's lips, and he said sullenly: "What a long time no see - Junior Brother, didn't we just meet last night? Why are you pretending to be confused?"
A trace of surprise flashed through Ling Yun's clear and distant eyes, "Last night?... I was always at Junma's Mansion last night. How could I meet my senior brother? Did senior brother sleepwalk last night, or is he still awake now?" "
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Ying Chuanlin's face was covered with dark clouds and there was no smile at all; his sinister eyes wandered over Ling Yun, and he said in a low voice: "You said you were in the county horse's mansion last night, who can testify?"
Ling Yun said without hesitation: "Master Lu, as well as all the brothers in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment can testify."
Ying Chuanlin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and sneered: "But can Commander Ling guarantee that they will always get along with you day and night? Yes, they handle official business with you during the day and can testify for you; as for the night, then But it’s hard to say—who doesn’t know that Commander Ling is a brave and talented person, and his whereabouts are erratic and unpredictable..."
Ling Yun's decent smile finally faded, and he said with a low expression: "What does Master Ying mean by this? Could it be that Mr. Lu and so many brothers from the Shangshu Palace of the Ministry of Punishment can tell lies?"
Ying Chuanlin said: "Of course I believe they won't tell lies; but what I want now is: Commander Ling can produce a solid evidence or find a reliable witness to prove what he did last night Already?"
Yang Zhen couldn't help it anymore and said angrily: "Ying Chuanlin, you are bullying others too much! Let me tell you, you should not go too far with some things..."
Lu Wenzheng remained calm, and slowly raised his hand to stop Yang Zhen's emotions that were a little out of control due to excitement; then turned his face, looked at Ling Yun with a pair of bright eyes and said: "Commander Ling, those who are clean will be clean themselves." , now that the matter has reached this point, I hope you can provide evidence that you were not present last night to clarify yourself, so that you can give an explanation to Lord He and Master Ying."
Ling Yun whispered back, "Yes." Then he turned around and glanced at He Yuting.
Silently looking at the so-called father who came to him aggressively to accuse him, this father who met across the street but could not get to know him, countless indescribable emotions accumulated deep in his heart, bit by bit consuming his determination and determination. His shifting belief made him feel cold and desolate...
He adjusted his somewhat chaotic emotions and said in a cold voice: "Since Mr. He and Master Ying want to know where I went last night so much, I have no choice but to tell the truth: I was with the princess last night... "
At this point, he paused slightly, his eyes moved, and he glanced at the people around him without any emotion, "As for the specific details, I don't think I need to talk about it anymore!"
As soon as the words came out, many people in the living room winked, their ambiguous eyes filled with all kinds of obscure emotions, and chuckled softly.
Lu Wenzheng's face darkened and he said, "Don't laugh!"
He turned his bright eyes to He Yuting and said, "Master He, would you like to ask the princess to come out and confirm?"
He Yuting hesitated. At first, due to human feelings, he wanted to say "no need" casually, but then he thought about it, wouldn't this go against the original intention of coming here to investigate the crime?
But if he said "I have this intention" in a casual manner, he would feel that he would have offended Princess Huanyu and Prince Jinling.
And when he raised his head again and collided with Ling Yun's distant and cold eyes, an inexplicable and complicated emotion surged into his heart unconsciously...
He Yuting was struggling in a tangled whirlpool and was momentarily stagnant.
Time stood still for a moment. The awkward atmosphere slowly flowed in the air, making it suffocating and breathless.
At this time, I heard the clear and sweet voice of a woman in the hall: "No need to invite me, I'm here!"
This voice is sweet and soft, with a hint of protracted tone, bathed in the morning tipsiness, making people feel relaxed and happy, and feel intoxicated.
More importantly, this voice broke the long-standing stalemate in the living room.
Everyone looked for the sound and saw Princess Huanyu, dressed in white neon clothes, walking up like a fairy from Lingbo.
Lu Wenzheng and others hurriedly stood up and respectfully bowed to the princess.
Huanyu raised her pretty face and said, "No need."
She walked directly to Ling Yun, took Ling Yun's arm in a grand manner, and said unhappily: "Jianma, you ran out early in the morning without saying a word to me, which made me look for you for a long time, really!"
Ling Yun said: "Princess, don't be like this. It's so embarrassing to have so many people watching."
Huanyu pursed her lips and said: "So what? We are an upright couple, so what are we doing coyly? Let's go, I came up with another fun game. Let's go back and study it again. I'm sure it will be better than yesterday. That night was interesting..."
As she spoke, she lazily pressed her soft jade-like body against Ling Yun's body; then she climbed up his neck affectionately with her hands.
She exhaled like blue, and her pink face almost touched Ling Yun's face. Ling Yun blushed a little, coughed uncomfortably, and gently shook off the princess's ambiguous movements.
Ying Chuanlin teased: "Oh, the princess and Commander Ling are really like gods and immortals, they are like glue and cannot be separated for a moment!"
"Really, Master Ying is very jealous, isn't he? If you feel uncomfortable, don't look at it!" A cold smile appeared on the corner of Huanyu's lips, like a poppy blooming.
Ying Chuanlin's face was grim, and he was choked to the point of speechlessness.
Huan Yu's eyes turned and stopped on He Yuting, "Oh, it turns out that my uncle is here too, and my niece is being reasonable!" She turned around and gave He Yuting a deep blessing.
"Haha, why should the princess be so polite..." He Yuting laughed dryly, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Huanyu's pear sunken slightly, she arched her eyebrows and said with a smile: "By the way, uncle, you are here, what are you doing?"
"This..." He Yuting was speechless for a moment.
Lu Wenzheng took over the conversation and said: "The prison was robbed last night. Master He came here to ask where Commander Ling went last night."
Huan Yu was startled: "Last night? Didn't I just say that Jun Ma was with me all the time last night? Do you want me to state the specific details?"
Lu Wenzheng said: "This is not necessary."
"In that case, then I don't need to go on about it anymore, right?" As she said that, she paused slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, since everything is fine, can we go back?"
Lu Wenzheng turned his probing eyes to He Yuting and said, "Do you have any doubts about what happened in the prison last night, Lord He?"
He Yuting's mind was in turmoil at this time, and he felt that he would not be willing to let go of last night's prison robbery so easily, but for the moment he could not think of any effective countermeasures; while thinking about it, he actually lost his mind. made a claim.
Seeing that He Yuting was just silent, Princess Huanyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and said with a charming smile: "It seems that uncle has no doubts anymore? - Since everyone has no doubts, let's go, Commandery Ma. There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with!”
As she said that, she took Ling Yun's arm and walked out.
Ling Yun was not in a hurry to leave. He stopped slightly and glanced at He Yuting in front of him with an indifferent expression without saying a word. Then he turned his clear eyes to Lu Wenzheng, lowered his hands and said respectfully: "Sir, if there is no other, Regarding the matter, I have resigned first."
Lu Wenzheng glanced at him meaningfully with his deep eyes. He didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.
Ling Yun bowed deeply to Lu Wenzheng, then turned around slowly and walked out with Princess Huanyu, leaving only a deserted and lonely figure behind.
In the living room, everyone just watched helplessly.
He Yuting silently watched Ling Yun and Huan Yu's backs drifting away, countless complex and unclear emotions tumbling in his eyes, but he said nothing, and finally turned into a helpless bitter smile.
Ying Chuanlin's face was livid, and his dark pupils were filled with suppressed anger. He could only grit his teeth secretly with hatred but could do nothing...
Ling Yun and Huan Yu returned to Huanyun Pavilion in Junma Mansion.
Huan Yu winked mischievously at Ling Yun and said, "How about it? I've helped you so much, how can you thank me?"
Ling Yun leaned forward affectionately, hugged her delicate body ambiguously and said, "What do you think, do you want us to do a fake show again like we just said?..."
Huan Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Besides, you're not serious again!..."
The two of them were laughing and joking.
Suddenly Ling Yun suppressed his smile, his sharp eyes turned cold, and he said outside: "Who is outside?..."
