The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

"You mean the prince's death is related to the second prince?"

Lou Zhizhang almost instantly thought of Emperor Jingping's recent actions in the court, and came to this conclusion effortlessly.

Xie Lang didn't hide anything and nodded towards him.

If this is the case, then it is understandable that His Majesty was so angry that he imprisoned the second prince and handed him over to Xie Lang and the imperial guards for interrogation. Lou Zhizhang was able to deduce many things that might happen in the future in an instant.

But it was far less horrifying than the moment I found out.

Lou Zhizhang was shaken and took a deep breath to calm down again. No wonder no news has been revealed until now.

"However, the second prince was only a teenager back then. No matter how good he was in planning, he was unable to kill His Highness the Crown Prince. There must be something hidden in this, right?" He raised his head and looked at Xie Lang, whose expression had not changed.

Xie Lang pulled his lower lip: "Of course it has something to do with Tang Kun."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "The investigation of what happened back then has not yet been concluded. I will try my best to find out the truth. But no matter what the truth is, I will not let him send people to assassinate Mingyue." Let him live."

His eyes were as deep as a sea brewing with a storm.

As he continued to investigate the matter of the prince's death, he also found that many of the things were different from what he knew in his previous life. The more he investigated, the more frightened he became, and there was always a vague premonition in his heart.

Xie Lang believed that his hunch would not be wrong.

This is also the reason why he came to Zhuangzi to find Lou Zhizhang. There are some things that are inconvenient for him to investigate because of the public situation, but with Lou Zhizhang's personal connections, it is far more convenient for him to investigate.

Lou Zhizhang looked at the coldness in his eyes and understood that he would do what he said.

But Mingyue definitely doesn't want to be involved with him anymore.

At such an old age, he still had to worry about his grandchildren's complicated and entangled emotions. Lou Zhizhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. For the sake of his granddaughter, he could only make up his mind to be the bad guy who broke up the couple.

Just when he was trying to think of a way to speak, Xie Lang suddenly said again: "I asked grandpa to investigate for me earlier. I wonder if there is any clue?"

Lou Zhizhang was slightly startled. Was he referring to the death of General Xie and his wife in battle ten years ago?

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "This matter is not easy to investigate. It has been ten years now, and most of the insiders who survived the war have disappeared. I have found people to ask, but I have not found the problem yet."

After saying that, Lou Zhizhang looked at Xie Lang steadily, his eyebrows slightly twisted.

Why did he think that things might have been different back then?

Xie Lang lowered his eyelids to cover up the cold emotions in him. After calming down, he raised his hand towards him: "After the prince was killed by an arrow, the border war was tense. My parents were guarding Mobei City, waiting for reinforcements."

"The lives of the people in the city rest on the shoulders of my parents. I don't believe they will fall into the enemy's trap because they are greedy for credit."

Back then, the Dingyuan Army accidentally intercepted the whereabouts of the barbarian grain and grass. His father ignored the obstruction and personally led his troops to intercept the attack. However, he fell into the barbarian trap. With a small enemy and a large number, 300 people went forward, but only three of them were able to return in the end.

The news of his father's injury spread to the whole army in an instant, and the people were greatly moved. The barbarians took advantage of this to attack, but he forced himself to fight regardless of his injuries, and finally died on the battlefield.

His mother wore armor and went into battle, but in the end she died under the enemy's sword.

Just as they were desperately fighting off the barbarians, the imperial troops arrived in time and took over the entire Mobei City and Dingyuan Army. At the same time, they brought an edict from Emperor Jingping depriving his father of the marshal's seal.

Since then, the Dingyuan Army, known as the Tiger and Wolf Division, has since been disbanded and incorporated into the new army.

The Dingyuan Army guarding the border today was formed by slowly absorbing people with lofty ideals from the remnants of the army. Among them, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was secretly involved. Therefore, the new army in northern Xinjiang in these years is different from the Dingyuan Army back then. Not big.

Xie Lang had long ago felt that what happened back then was unusual.

However, no matter how we investigated, even if we asked the soldiers in the army at that time, the final result of the investigation was that his father was greedy for power and fell into the enemy's trap, thus causing Mobei City to be almost captured.

But his father has been training at the border since he was not in charge of the Dingyuan Army. How could he not even see such a plan?

Xie Lang pursed his thin lips tightly, and the cold and cruel look in his eyes was shocking.

Lou Zhizhang waited patiently for him to finish explaining the doubts he had discovered. His patience had long been tempered by his granddaughter, and then he asked warmly: "Then what does the Marquis hope I can do for you?"

In his opinion, Xie Lang is the junior.

Even if this person single-handedly upsets everyone in the court, but in the final analysis, he has not yet been crowned, so he cannot be called an adult.

And looking at the things he did to Mingyue, Lou Zhizhang didn't want to complain. That was so childish.

The coldness in Xie Lang's eyes gradually receded.

Then he said something that shocked Lou Zhizhang for a long time and made him unable to recover.

"What happened back then may have something to do with the Crown Prince and His Majesty."

...

Xue Mingyue waited in the backyard for a long time.

By the time she finished drinking a pot of milk tea from the kitchen, no one in the room had come out yet. Later, she began to feel impatient, and then she simply stopped waiting.

I have wasted so much time, I might as well go to the pharmacy and continue my endorsement.

If her senior brother and senior sister hadn't gone back to their residence to prepare for the free clinic, she wouldn't have come here to wait out of boredom. Xue Mingyue felt inexplicably angry and left the yard angrily.

Song Jiang, who was standing outside, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He looked back at the closed door, recalling his wife's indifferent attitude towards Mr. Hou during this period, and suddenly realized something from it, and he couldn't help but be surprised: the relationship between the couple seemed not to be very good. good.

It doesn’t seem like it, it’s really not good.

Xue Mingyue was angry with herself for a long time, and then she remembered that Xie Lang might have discussed something important with her grandfather, which was why they chatted for so long. Besides, Song Jiang didn't seem to send anyone to inform him at all.

Also, how could the busy Mr. Hou be something she could see whenever she said she could?

Liuyun Liuxing looked at her carefully and saw her skillfully preparing the medicinal ingredients.

But she couldn't hide her anger in her movements, so she looked much more fierce. Even the boys around her didn't dare to approach her.

Xue Mingyue didn't notice, and the suffocation in her heart gradually calmed down through the repeated actions. She calmed down and thought about what to say to Xie Lang. This time it was really time to show off her cards.

Does she have any trump card that can blackmail Xie Lang?

Xue Mingyue was so lost in thought that she didn't notice someone standing not far away and looking at her for a long time.

She didn't even notice that everyone around her had left at some point, and Liuyun Liuxing who was closest to her also disappeared. Just when she suddenly thought of something, she suddenly realized that there was a shadow hanging in front of her. .

"?"

Xue Mingyue raised her head.

In front of her eyes, a slender finger with distinct joints pinned a pale pink flower to her ear.

The corners of Xie Lang's black robe were blown up by the wind, and he chuckled: "It looks good."
