Chapter 241 The Whole Family Was Destroyed, It Was Actually a Scapegoat

After the noise, Fu Yi's voice came out of the house again, "Commander Li Yu, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."

Li Yu laughed awkwardly: "Nothing, nothing, Miss Fu Yi, please do your work first, I won't bother you."

Li Yu walked out of the mansion with a bitter face. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a man dressed like a servant walking towards him quickly. He first took out a letter from his arms, and then politely said: "Sir Guard, can you please pass this letter to King Jing'an?"

Li Yu didn't take it, but asked: "Who is your master?"

The servant smiled, "My master is the fifth prince. Please tell King Jing'an that our master is waiting for him in Linjiang Tower."

Li Yu took the letter from the servant, nodded at the servant, turned around and entered the mansion again.

When Li Yu walked to the backyard, Lu Yan and Shen Qing had already made three snowmen, two big and one small. The small one could barely be seen as a cat.

Li Yu handed the letter to Lu Yan, who opened it and saw only two lines of words on it -

I can't repay you for saving my life, so I'll give you a glass of wine at Linjiang Tower to show my respect. I hope King Jing'an and the Princess will do me a favor and talk to you. Chu Lingyuan.

Lu Yan handed the letter to Shen Qing, who smiled after reading it, "The Fifth Prince invited us so kindly, how can we not go?"

Lu Yan brushed the snow from her hair and looked at Li Yu with his eyes: "Prepare the carriage. By the way, I've given Li Ze a leave for this month, so you can drive today."

Li Yu's mouth twitched, but he walked towards the stable very skillfully.

The reason was that when Lu Yan went out, the leader of the secret guards always acted as the groom, because he could drive and protect people at the same time, which was the best of both worlds.

When Shen Qing and Lu Yan came over, Chu Lingyuan had already drunk half a pot of tea.

Seeing the two people enter the box, Chu Lingyuan stood up and bowed his head to signal, and at the same time asked the servant to bring a pot of new tea and cakes.

Lu Yan hung up Shen Qing's cloak, put the hand warmer aside, and poured Shen Qing a cup of hot tea to warm his hands before looking at Chu Lingyuan opposite.

The series of actions were like flowing water, and I don't know how many times they have done it. Seeing this, Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but flash a little envy in his eyes.

No one doesn't want a relationship that is inseparable and respectful to each other. Chu Lingyuan was born in the royal family, so he knows how precious this friendship is.

Yun Xiaoxiao's free and unrestrained smile suddenly flashed in his mind, and Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Putting away his thoughts, Chu Lingyuan looked at Lu Yan and Shen Qing, "Three months ago, I was chased and fell off a cliff. I was on the verge of death, but Miss Yun saved me and saved my life. Before returning to Beijing, Miss Yun told me that Princess Jing'an asked her to take care of me until I recovered, but there is a difference between men and women, so she wrote a letter to King Jing'an."

This is an explanation of the letter.

"Miss Yun saved my life, Princess Jing'an entrusted me with the favor, Yuan knows that it is difficult to repay in this life, so if Princess Jing'an needs me in the future, Yuan will do his best."

The words are sincere and not excessive, which makes people feel more favorable.

In comparison, Chu Lingxi is really a lot worse.

Shen Qing smiled, "Fifth Prince, you are too polite. It was your cousin who saved you. I just did some verbal things."

After a few pleasantries, Shen Qing got down to business, "However, if you ask for something, Shen Qing does have something I want to ask the Fifth Prince to do."

Chu Lingyuan looked gentle, "Princess Jing'an, please go ahead."

"Fifth Prince, do you still remember the case of Minister Qin embezzling the court's disaster relief money and causing hundreds of thousands of people to die ten years ago?"

Chu Lingyuan paused, obviously not expecting that Shen Qing would mention this. The Qin family case led to the extermination of nine clans, and countless people were implicated. Such a sensational event, even though Chu Lingyuan was only six years old at the time, he still remembered it clearly, so Chu Lingyuan nodded seriously to Shen Qing.

Then Shen Qing continued: "After the Qin case, all the male members of the Qin family were beheaded, and all the women were exiled to places of entertainment. The Qin women were proud and unwilling to be humiliated, so they all committed suicide. However, there is still a direct descendant of the Qin family who is living outside. She is the daughter of Minister Qin. This woman claims that the Qin family is innocent and has asked people to go to the area of ​​Qihe River to investigate the incident. Prince Jing'an and I also investigated it and finally confirmed that the Qin family was indeed accused of the crime."

Shen Qing's every word is very clear, but the combination of them makes Chu Lingyuan, the fifth prince of the Great Chu, a little confused.

There is another hidden story in the Qin family case. The Qin family, whose nine clans were exterminated, took the blame for others. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?

The most important thing is that when the case was solved, it was confirmed that there were both witnesses and evidence. Even the Minister of Works personally confessed that it was true. The case was investigated by Shen Yian and Duke Jiang personally. How could there be a hidden story?

However, Chu Lingyuan believed that since Shen Qing had said it, it must not be groundless.

And the fact that Shen Qing came to him with this matter meant that the person behind the scenes was... the prince's party.

Although Chu Lingxiu was only nine years old at that time, he was naturally intelligent and had the assistance of Duke Jiang. However, Chu Lingyuan still found it hard to believe. Would Chu Lingxiu really watch hundreds of thousands of people die?

Chu Lingxiu is the prince of a country and the future emperor!

After thinking for a long time, Chu Lingyuan raised his head, "According to Princess Jing'an's intention, what should Yuan do?"

Chu Lingyuan thought that Shen Qing wanted him to help Qin Luan clear the Qin family's grievances. As for the relationship between Qin Luan and Shen Qing, Chu Lingyuan didn't know, but he wouldn't ask.

Shen Qing shook his head and said, "Fifth Prince, you are overthinking. I mentioned this matter just to help Miss Qin. As for the follow-up, I am an outsider and should not and will not interfere."

Shen Qing knew that although Chu Lingyuan also had the heart to compete for the throne, compared with Chu Lingxiu and Chu Lingxi, Chu Lingyuan was more concerned about the people and persistent in the peace of the world.

So, Shen Qing was sure that Chu Lingyuan would take over the Qin family case.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Qing finished speaking, Chu Lingyuan responded: "Yuan is the prince of the Great Chu. If the Qin family is really wronged, I have no choice but to help."

Such a result was within Shen Qing's expectations. Shen Qing turned his head and called out to the door: "Li Yu, bring someone in."

The next moment, the door of the box was opened from the outside. Chu Lingyuan looked outside the door and saw a woman of about sixteen or seventeen years old walking in. Although she was dressed in plain clothes, she could not hide the beauty between her eyebrows. It was Qin Luan.

Qin Luan first bowed to Shen Qing, and then knelt down to Chu Lingyuan, "I am Qin Luan, your servant, and I greet the Fifth Prince."

Before Chu Lingyuan called Qin Luan up, Shen Qing and Lu Yan had already stood up and walked towards the door of the box.

"Fifth Prince, it's getting late, the princess and I will go back first, and we will make tea around the stove when we have time later."

Chu Lingyuan stood up and watched the two leave.

When Shen Qing and Lu Yan came out of Linjiang Tower, it was getting dark. They wanted to walk around the street again, but they heard a guard hurriedly report: "Your Majesty, Princess, Commander Li Ze said there is news from the Prince's Mansion. Please return to the mansion."
