Xia Tan'er responded to Dong Lingjiu's silence. Xia Tan'er pursed her lips speechlessly. She had already mentioned such important things, but Dong Lingjiu's thoughts were still not carried away by her.
Sure enough, the title of Dongling God of War was not given in vain.
Xia Tan'er was silent again, thinking about what topics to talk about so that she could put aside the marriage certificate for a while. Little did she know that Dong Lingjiu was also deep in thought at this moment, especially after hearing what Xia Tan'er said just now. After having doubts, I also had doubts in my heart.
"Could it be that Concubine De was also responsible?"
"But why would you treat me..."
Dong Lingjiu couldn't think of why that person would attack him. At that time, Xia Tan'er was just a poor daughter with no father's love and no mother's love. She was not of much use.
"Is there a bigger conspiracy behind it?"
Dong Lingjiu suddenly felt that the person behind this was really capable of covering up the sky with one hand. He had ordered people to conduct secret investigations many times since the Spring Banquet, but every time the clues came to an abrupt end.
If Xia Tan'er hadn't mentioned it today, even he wouldn't have known there was such a possibility.
"Uncle Nine Emperors."
"Tan'er."
The two silent people spoke at the same time and looked at each other.
Seeing this, Xia Tan'er immediately gave up the right to speak first to Dong Lingjiu.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, please speak first."
"I said earlier that I wanted to go into the palace to investigate, but have you figured out when to go?"
"ah?"
Xia Tan'er was stunned for a moment and didn't react at all. Why did she mention entering the palace again if she wasn't talking about the marriage certificate? Could it be that something was discovered in Aventurine Nine?
"I think Concubine De may have something to do with your being drugged. Didn't she poison Mrs. Lu before?"
"Having said that, it has been several months since the Spring Banquet. Even if there were clues at that time, I am afraid it would have been completely destroyed by now."
"As long as you find the Hehuan Powder given to Xue Chen, and then ask the Valley Master to verify it, you will know whether it is the same medicine."
"Ah? How did the owner of the valley know that he had a sample for comparison?"
Dong Lingjiu braked in time and almost revealed the fact that he was the one who had a good relationship with Xia Tan'er.
If Xia Tan'er knew about this, I'm afraid his wife and children would be separated and he might not be able to see Xia Tan'er in his lifetime.
"It's better than us covering our heads and looking for no way out. How about we go after you and I sign the marriage certificate? The Kyushu Festival will start soon. By then, there will be many people and it will be difficult to do things."
"Yes, yes...but what does this have to do with going after signing the marriage document?"
Xia Tan'er looked at Dong Lingjiu cautiously. The topic she finally got out of was actually brought back by Dong Lingjiu in such a straightforward way. For the first time, Xia Tan'er experienced the feeling of being chased.
Dong Lingjiu glanced at Xia Tan'er and snorted lightly, leaning on the back of the chair.
It seems Xia Tan'er has no choice but to use her ultimate move.
"You should know that the Kyushu Festival was organized by the Emperor's brother with my help."
"Yeah. I know."
Xia Tan'er saw Dong Lingjiu's momentum and immediately nodded honestly.
"Then do you know who is coming to the Kyushu event this time?"
"Princes and princesses from various countries come to win the competition in exchange for admission to Tianheng Academy."
"That's right, but there's one thing you don't know, Tan'er. One of the princesses from the four countries who came to Dongling to participate in the competition wants to come and marry, and the marriage partner is none other than me."
