She didn't want to be a caged canary at all. Hugging Zhongli Mingye, she whispered softly, "Let me help you, okay... okay..."
"..." He was distracted by this mosquito-like voice.
This was the Xiangguo Temple. Zhongli Mingye forcefully suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
"Do you have a clue?"
Song Jinyu raised her head and sighed, "I just have a faint suspicion!"
She thought of Ji Qinglin and hesitated again. If... Zhongli Mingye really found out it was him, wouldn't it ruin Ji Qinglin's revenge plan?
The martial arts world had its own rules. Seeking revenge was as common as eating and drinking.
However, this was under the feet of the Son of Heaven. Now that Zhongli Mingye was in charge of this matter, she felt extremely awkward.
Seeing Song Jinyu's entanglement, Zhongli Mingye pinched her soft cheek. "If you don't, just stay at home obediently and wait for this king..."
"I'll spoil you well..." These words were extremely ambiguous and lingering, making Song Jinyu blush.
She couldn't help thinking about the timing. This man...
There was nothing she could do. She couldn't get freedom from Zhongli Mingye. Song Jinyu had to be obediently sent back by his people. Before leaving, she still insisted on feeling Shen Shulan's pulse.
Her heart skipped a beat. In a few days, Shen Shulan would wake up!
She hoped it wasn't Ji Qinglin! It mustn't be! Otherwise, it might implicate Tianmen Mountain.
Although she didn't get Zhongli Mingye's permission, he still told Song Jinyu some doubts.
The three officials died very strangely. They all died of poisoning and were in great pain before they died!
"Go to the residence of the junior guardian of the crown prince..." She had some doubts. It seemed absurd, but it couldn't be missed.
Sure enough, after feeling the pulse of Xu Zichen's wife, Song Jinyu finally confirmed her suspicion. This poison was very familiar. It could make people suddenly fall ill within a short period of time without showing any signs of poisoning. Only people from Tianmen Mountain had such ability!
"Let's go!"
When she came out, Ji Qinglin was waiting at the intersection early. "Little junior sister, I'm quite confused about some things. Please help me solve my doubts."
Not understanding Ji Qinglin's thoughts, Song Jinyu still invited him to the prince's mansion.
"A few days ago, I saw the handwriting of that prescription. It was very familiar."
Song Jinyu remained calm. "This princess doesn't know what senior brother means."
"Nothing else. I'm just curious why the handwriting of that prescription looks so much like yours?" Ji Qinglin stared at Song Jinyu, trying to see something.
But she showed no reaction.
"Let's be straight. Is the new elixir the emperor is taking your work?"
"Master died very strangely. You and Yan Fei had a very deep relationship. I guess you were eager for revenge." He stood up and looked at the lake.
"Junior sister, I think you can understand what I mean!"
Of course, she understood. It was about revenge. It was a deep blood feud. Song Jinyu didn't need to verify. His words showed that he was greatly involved in this case.
Song Jinyu smiled faintly. "Senior brother, I've already quit Tianmen Mountain. As for what you said about Master and Yan Fei's death,"
"You're overthinking. The second elder is the real murderer. I think senior brother Wen has already executed the traitor."
She would never admit it anyway.
"Junior sister, I won't stop!" He definitely wouldn't. He looked at Song Jinyu seriously. "So, stop investigating this matter."
After all, Ji Qinglin knew that Song Jinyu would suspect him sooner or later. After all, she might still remember what happened a few years ago.
Maybe she would expose him for Zhongli Mingye's sake.
Song Jinyu chuckled. "It depends on what you do." Now, although she had no evidence, she was sure that the murderer was Ji Qinglin.
That poison was too familiar. It was only available inside Tianmen Mountain.
And she just happened to know that "story".
"Heh!"
"The scenery of the Temple of Heaven is the best!" After a long time, he said this irrelevant sentence silently. "You've just come to the capital. Prince Yu hasn't taken you there yet, has he?"
"Indeed not. Thank you, senior brother!"
Watching that desolate back, Song Jinyu felt very sad. She knew too well the feeling of carrying a huge hatred on one's back, and he had carried it for ten years!
She herself had Zhongli Mingye's help, Master's early layout, and other coincidences, so she could avenge her hatred as she wished.
But what about him? He was all alone! He had struggled step by step. He was originally a noble and ambitious person,
but he was forced into a desperate situation by that deep blood feud.
At this moment, Song Jinyu hesitated!
She closed her eyes and calculated in her heart. Zhongli Mingye would find out about Ji Qinglin sooner or later.
Just based on these human lives, when connected together, Ji Qinglin had no way to escape. And what was the meaning of her telling Mingye the real murderer?
She felt inexplicably anxious!
The rules of the martial arts people were to avenge their enemies and redress their grievances. But now, what should she do? The moral principles of the martial arts world and the laws of the Xia Dynasty were swirling in her mind, making her head a mess.
"If you don't have your meal, this subordinate will tell the prince!" Seeing the worried look on her face, Miecui said half-jokingly.
Something was wrong!
Why did Ji Qinglin single her out? Instead of seizing the opportunity when the court was in turmoil to continue his revenge,
or had he already killed all the people he wanted to kill? The Temple of Heaven! It was the place where the emperor of the Xia Dynasty offered sacrifices. Usually, outsiders were not allowed to enter.
"Miecui! When is the sacrifice to heaven?"
Her heart was beating very fast. She faintly felt that Ji Qinglin was telling her something! "Three days later, the emperor will go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for a good autumn harvest!!!"
Not good! "Hurry, go find the prince and bring him back!"
It would be troublesome if it was too late! I'm sorry, Ji Qinglin. No wonder he said such words when he left. She originally thought it was to threaten her not to tell the past.
In fact, he already had the will to die.
After the tragedy of the Ji family broke out that year, no one paid attention to it, and it ended without a conclusion after that. The emperor was derelict in his duty.
So, the emperor was his last target for revenge! Thinking of this link, Song Jinyu felt even more heartache. What on earth was Ji Qinglin going to do!
If he didn't tell her, his revenge would have been avenged.
But why?
Zhongli Mingye had just returned from the Six Gates and happened to meet Song Jinyu. "Don't panic!"
After listening to what she said, "This king got the news that the Shen family did frame the Ji family back then, and those three officials all perverted the law and suppressed the case of the Ji family's extermination."
"So you know now that Ji Qinglin is the real murderer?"
Zhongli Mingye smiled. "I originally relied on speculation. Now that you, my beloved concubine, have told this king this key point, it's naturally your credit!"
She couldn't laugh. "Senior brother he..."
"He's not a person from Tianmen Mountain. He's the top third scholar of the Xia Dynasty."
It was precisely because he had the ambition to be a good official that he was so contradictory in the process of revenge!
