He was all too familiar with this cold voice.

Since childhood, the owner of this voice has always been quiet and introverted. Hearing such a relaxed and smiling tone suddenly made Xiao Chuan's heart colder.

He slowly raised his head, Xiao Lin in black stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him quietly, there seemed to be a smile and kindness in those eyes.

The mountain wind howled, enveloping his limbs and bones with coolness.

The pain in the body and the fear in the heart made Xiao Chuan forget his movements for a while, and could only stare at Xiao Lin in a daze.

"Brother, this account should be settled."

Xiao Lin approached Xiao Chuan step by step, Xiao Chuan just woke up like a dream, he wanted to stand up, but before he got up, Xiao Lin kicked him away.

"Pfft——" Xiao Chuan, who fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell limp again.

"Please, don't kill me." Xiao Chuan knew that he couldn't run away, and desperately begged for mercy, "You can save my brother's life. In the past, it was the elder brother who was not good. It was the elder brother who made a mistake. Please, see In terms of our past friendship, please spare my life, I will never dare again!"

"I used to be your big brother, but you wanted my life." Xiao Lin sneered, "Now you want to talk about friendship with me? It's too late."

After finishing speaking, he drew out his long sword, and struck Xiao Chuan's right leg a few times with a very fast technique, blood spurted out.

"Ah------!!!" Xiao Chuan let out a tragic cry, covering the heel of his right leg with both hands, curled up in pain and rolled all over the ground, the desperate cry echoed in the mountains for a long time along with the sound of the wind.

"Don't, don't... Please... let me go..." He was so painful that he could hardly utter a complete sentence, but because of his tenacious desire to survive, he kept begging.

Xiao Lin looked at the blood-stained sword, "You bought my life back then, but I survived and recovered. You took Liu Rufeng away, and now it seems that you did the right thing. People who are scheming and playing tricks don't deserve the sincerity of others."

"I'm very grateful to you, big brother." Xiao Lin said calmly, "But the debt that should be paid still has to be paid."

After finishing speaking, he raised his sword again, this time aiming at Xiao Chuan's left leg.

Blood spewed out again, and Xiao Chuan's cry was distorted by the tremendous pain. Like a madman, he bumped his head around and rolled around, trying to relieve the piercing pain of the severed hamstring in this way.

"You crippled my leg, and I crippled yours, isn't that fair?" Xiao Lin said, "It's just that your leg can't be healed even if Hua Tuo is alive again."

"You, you are so ruthless! You are not human!" Xiao Chuan was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with cold sweat and blood.

"Are you ruthless? Not only do you want to seize the position of the eldest son, but you also want to kill my whole family." Xiao Lin chuckled, "Thinking that I am a bastard with a rough life experience, and my biological mother was tortured, you want revenge, right? It's a pity, You are an outcast whose parents don't even know who you are, you are not a member of the Xiao family at all, you were fooled by that woman, you idiot."

"Xiao Lin, why is your luck always so good!" Xiao Chuan knew Xiao Lin's temperament well, knew that he would not be able to hide tonight, so he decided to go all out. I have a better foundation than me, and I even have better luck than me! I regret so much, I regret that I gave up on someone who really likes me. I never even dreamed that it was because Bai Chen married you that I was on the brink of failure! One wrong step, Wrong step!"

"A person like you is not worthy of Mr. Bai's sincerity." Xiao Lin raised his sword, "There is no need to talk nonsense, just die."

Although Xiao Chuan had expected such a tragic ending, few people could calmly face the imminent death.

His complexion changed drastically, he ignored his bleeding legs, exerted great effort with his upper limbs, moved his body, and retreated desperately. This was entirely supported by his instinctive desire to survive.

"No, no, I can't die," Xiao Chuan suddenly fell into madness, "I haven't become a son, I haven't enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this world, I can't die."

His body seemed to gain strength suddenly, and he retreated a lot suddenly, but he didn't know that his body had already reached the edge of the cliff, and the edge was covered with moss. His palm slipped and lost support, and he fell into the cliff in an upside-down posture. cliff.

"what!!!"

The cry before dying became smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared into the valley.

Xiao Lin came to the edge of the cliff, the mountain wind blew the corners of his clothes and rattled, the bottom of the cliff was pitch black, bottomless.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuan went crazy and fell into the cliff by himself.

The grievances between the two of them came to an end in this way.

……

In just one day, such a drastic change had taken place in the palace.

The concubine fell ill, Kang Wang couldn't take care of her clothes, and everything fell on Xiao Lin.

Because of this, Bai Chen also saw Xiao Lin's decisiveness in handling things.

Xiao Chuan was not the son of King Kang, so if such a thing spread, it would be a scandal about the royal clan, so it was naturally suppressed.

Fortunately, they investigated and arrested people quickly, without alarming anyone.

Xiao Lin first asked Kang Wang to seal Xiao Chuan's marriage and divorce agreement, and then asked someone to send it to the Liu Mansion.

Liu Rufeng was eager to leave Xiao Chuan as soon as possible, this useless thing, and happily accepted it, without asking a single extra word, not caring at all whether Xiao Chuan has been beaten and maimed by the person he asked for now.

After a few days, news spread that the eldest son of the palace and Mr. Liu Xiang had separated from the upper class of the capital.Then the palace released rumors through others——Xiao Chuan went out to visit mountains and rivers to relax.

Injured by love, focusing on mountains and rivers can relieve sorrow. This behavior is reasonable and reasonable, and naturally it will not arouse suspicion.

Emperor Dehui naturally also knew about this matter. After Xiao Lin's legs recovered, King Kang had already discussed with him and officially confirmed the candidate for the son.He didn't like Xiao Chuan very much in the first place. He also heard about Liu Rufeng's departure from Xiao Chuan's visit to brothels, and he became more and more disappointed with Xiao Chuan in his heart. Let this go.

As a result, no one knew this secret except those who were present that night.

——Even Xiao Mo didn't know, she was still young, King Kang was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the blow, so he ordered Xiao Lin not to tell her yet.

The turbulent waves in the Wangfu came and went faster. On the surface, everything was calm. Only those who have experienced shock and change know that the Wangfu has been severely damaged under the calm.

Let's go back to Mo Lianchou.

Afterwards, Bai Chen inspected her body and found that apart from the fatal wound stabbed by the princess, there were many strange spots on her body, and those spots were poked with a silver needle, and the silver needle faintly showed signs of discoloration.

Why was she poisoned, who poisoned her, and why was she poisoned?

Completely clueless.

The most strange thing is that not long after Mo Lianchou died, her husband from Shanshan also bit his tongue and committed suicide in the place where he was held. During the autopsy, it was found that he also had spots of the same shape on his body.

The clues were completely broken. After discussing with Bai Chen, Xiao Lin finally decided to burn their bodies.

——Let the secrets of the palace disappear with the death of Mo Lianchou and Xiao Chuan.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Chen went to Dali Temple to answer questions and found out that just last night when Xiao Lin ordered people to secretly dispose of the bodies of the two men, a fire broke out in Qilin Square, far south of the city.

Under the raging fire, two houses were reduced to ashes.

Bai Chen's heart trembled. He could probably guess which two houses were burned. Fortunately, they found a lot of poison from Mo Lianchou's body. These are important evidences.

If they hadn't moved quickly, all of these would have been burned with the fire.

When Bai Chen's mind was racing, he saw Luo Lanye hurried into the room with a dark face, followed by Qin Yucheng who wanted to lower his head to the floor.

Although Luo Lanye was always serious, he never shook his face at his subordinates. It was the first time he saw Luo Lanye's face turned dark like this. It was obvious that his boss was very angry now.

Could it be that something has happened again?

"Bai Lushi, come with me to the Heavenly Prison." Luo Lanye said, "You go to examine the corpse later."

"Yes, Lord Luo." Bai Chen immediately said in surprise, "But another big case happened?"

Luo Lanye snorted coldly, and glanced at Qin Yucheng, "It's not a new case, it's Ling Shuang and Huan'er who were killed."

Bai Chen was taken aback, "Aren't the two of them in the cell?"

Luo Lanye seemed to get more and more angry as he thought about it, "Prisoner Qin, tell me, what's going on? Why was a good prisoner killed in the prison? Someone dared to come to Dali Temple to kill people? Is there any law for the king? Your prison What the hell is Cheng doing?"

"My lord, calm down!" Qin Yucheng was full of annoyance, "The subordinates have arranged for a thorough investigation, and will definitely find out the truth and give an explanation to your lord."

"Everyone in Dali Temple is now suspected." Luo Lanye said coldly, "Everyone must be investigated. Let's go, go to the prison first."

On the way, Bai Chen finally figured out the general circumstances of the murder.

Ling Shuang and Huan'er were imprisoned in a special prison for female prisoners, and were guarded by two women at the same time every day.

The two women are good at drinking, and they hardly get drunk when they drink on weekdays, and they haven't had any troubles.After drinking alcohol yesterday, he was completely drunk. After waking up this morning, he found that Ling Shuang and Bing'er had been killed.

The gate outside the special prison is guarded by jailers. There are four gates from the special prison to the gate of the sky prison, with four layers of guards.

With such strict security, it is unlikely that outsiders will commit crimes, and the most likely possibility is that there are insiders.

Mo Lianchou was killed, and then the foreign man committed suicide, and then the fire in Qilinfang, Ling Shuang and Huan'er died in the prison.

All this is related to Qilinfang, what secrets are hidden there?
