The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

Lin Wan'er was taken down, Fu Nanping glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and said, "Since the truth has come to light, you all should step back."

Lin Wan'er's personal servant girl, Shui Mo, suddenly made a sound and begged: "My lord, my wangfei was wronged. My wangfei has never harmed anyone. I beg you to spare me my wangfei."

"The sachet containing the poison belongs to her, and the powder of the poison was also found in her yard. The evidence is conclusive. Why is there any injustice?"

"Someone must have framed that thing deliberately. The princess is kind-hearted and has never had the intention of harming anyone..." Shui Mo prostrated on the ground, risking heavy punishment, and tried her best to fight for Lin Wan'er.

The maids and women beside her also complained for Lin Wan'er, which shows that Lin Wan'er's character is indeed good.

Seeing this, Princess Danyang said: "Ping'er, the princess is usually gentle and virtuous, and she should not be the kind of person with a vicious heart. You'd better discuss this matter in the long run."

"Aunt Huang, don't worry, Ping'er will take care of this matter." Fu Nanping looked at the servant girl on the ground, and said, "You all stand down."

"My lord..."

Fu Nanping said with a gloomy expression: "One more word, drag it out and fight!"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally retreated without saying anything.They are slaves who speak lightly, even if they take their lives, it may not be useful.

Seeing this, Su Xing'an bowed and said, "My lord, if there is no order, I would like to leave first."

Fu Nanling responded indifferently, and said: "This time, it's hard work for Doctor Su."

Su Xing'an hurriedly said: "Your Majesty speaks seriously, this is the job of an official, I really dare not talk about hard work. If the two Highnesses have nothing to do, I will leave first."

Su Xing'an withdrew from the door after receiving the consent, and Ji Linglan also bowed and said, "Princess, lord, if there is no order, Xiaomin also wants to leave first."

Before Fu Nanping could speak, Princess Danyang spoke out first: "Alan, I have been sleeping poorly recently, I heard from Ling'er that your sleep aid medicine is very effective, why don't you give it to me. "

Ji Linglan bowed and said, "Yes, Ah Lan obeys."

"Go and wait outside, I have something to discuss with the prince."

"Alan resigns."

Seeing Ji Linglan walk out the door, although Fu Nanping felt unwilling, he didn't stop her.He knew in his heart that Princess Danyang was the rescuer that Fu Nanling had recruited, and any bad sleep was an excuse to prevent him from being alone with Ji Linglan.

Princess Danyang turned to look at Fu Nanping, and said solemnly: "Ping'er, what you did today was too much. Although something happened to the Lin family, as long as Mr. Lin is still here, it won't fail. You are so eager to If you get rid of it, it will only be self-defeating, so you can do it yourself."

Fu Nanping was startled, and then said: "Aunt Huang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you were also bewitched by that poisonous woman Lin Wan'er?"

Princess Danyang looked at Fu Nanping silently for a while, turned and left without saying anything more.

Fu Nanping looked at the back of Princess Danyang leaving, his face was cloudy and cloudy, he was silent for a while, and said loudly: "Come here, so I can restrain Concubine Li's body, and prepare the car to go to Lin Mansion."

"Yes, my lord."

Ji Linglan followed Princess Danyang out of Prince Ping's Mansion, and returned to Prince Ling's Mansion under her escort.

Ji Linglan said gratefully: "Alan, thank you, Your Highness Princess, for making the rescue."

Princess Danyang sighed, and said: "Speaking of which, you are deeply involved because of Ling'er's involvement, so you should help me. You keep that jade plaque, and what I say always counts."

"Yes, Alan, I would like to thank Your Royal Highness for your kindness."

"Okay, I'm tired, so I'll go back home first."

"Congratulations to Her Majesty the Princess."

Seeing Princess Danyang's carriage going away, Xiao Linzi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, Princess Danyang is here, so we are safe from danger."

"Who invited Princess Danyang?"

"It's the meaning of the master." Li Sheng replied: "Before the master entered the palace, he once told the slaves that if the son has something to do and the master can't get away, he can ask Princess Danyang for help."

"My lord?" Ji Linglan glanced at Lu Jiu, then turned and returned to the palace.

Lu Jiu was stunned, and followed immediately, explaining: "I only told the lord what happened that day afterwards."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "Brother Lu, do you know Princess Ping's family background?"

Lu Jiu replied: "Concubine Ping's name is Lin Wan'er, she is the granddaughter of Elder Lin Ge."

"The chief minister of the cabinet?" Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said, "I remember that King Pingnan's youngest daughter is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Lin Ge. Could this Lin Wan'er be her daughter? No, the surname is wrong."

Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin Ge has two sons. The eldest son is named Lin Tinghui. He is a scholar of the Imperial Academy. His wife is the daughter of General Sun Pengchun, who is the father and mother of Princess Ping."

"If this is the case, then the power behind Princess Ping is not trivial, so why would King Ping take the risk of offending the cabinet and the general's mansion to depose Princess?" Ji Linglan asked with doubts in her heart.

Lu Jiu glanced at Xiao Linzi, Xiao Linzi understood, and took two steps quickly to put a distance between them.Only then did Lu Jiu explain: "That's because Lin Tinghui was ordered to compile the history of the country some time ago, and because of improper wording, he angered the emperor. Not only was he dismissed from office, but he was never hired. If it wasn't for Lin Ge's support , most of them will lose their lives.”

"Improper wording?" Ji Linglan was stunned for a while, and then realized that what Lu Jiu said was just perfunctory to the public, there must be something else involved in the royal secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to the outside world, so Lin Tinghui was punished so severely .

"Even so, Mr. Lin Ge is still here, and the General's Mansion is there to support him. How could King Ping be so decisive?"

Lu Jiu whispered in Ji Linglan's ear: "The letter of credence came from Linguo, and he will be sent to our country in January. The visitors are Linguo's princess Yaohua, her son-in-law Ji Mingqiu, and their daughter Pingting Princess Ji. Pingting, it is said that there are plans to get married."

Ji Linglan suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that King Ping intends to make peace with Lin Guo, no wonder."

"In the past, I knew that King Ping was treacherous and cunning. When I saw him today, he was ruthless and ruthless. Few people can compare with him."

"In order to achieve the goal, he did not hesitate to use the life of side concubine Li to wrong Princess Ping, and he didn't even consider his own flesh and blood. This kind of cruelty is really chilling." Ji Linglan paused, and said: "Maybe Princess Ping's stomach His child was also killed by him."

Lu Jiu couldn't help reminding: "Ah Lan, he didn't get what he wanted this time, and he will definitely think of other ways. We need to be more cautious in the future."

"it is good."

In the past, all the knowledge of Fu Nanping was from the mouths of Fu Nanling and others, and there was no specific knowledge.Through today's incident, Fu Nanping became more concrete in Ji Linglan's heart, and it also made him deeply understand Fu Nanping's unscrupulous methods.Although he is smart, he doesn't have such deep scheming, and it's better to avoid it if he can.

After a busy day, Fu Nanling finally got some free time. As soon as he returned to the Vanity Palace, he invited Xiao Lizi to ask about Ji Linglan's situation.

"Master, thanks to the presence of Princess Danyang today, the young master was able to escape completely."

Fu Nanling asked nervously: "Can you be sure that Aunt Huang arrived in time, and Fu Nanping didn't spend time alone with Ah Lan?"

"Sure, the servant has asked in detail. After the young master rescued the little princess, he planned to leave, but King Ping forced the young master to stay in the Prince Ping mansion on the grounds that he suspected that the death of side concubine Li was strange. At this moment, Princess Danyang arrived. King Ping The treacherous plan failed."

Fu Nanling couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, this time it's really thanks to Aunt Huang."

Xiao Lizi reminded: "Master, King Ping has put in so much pains this time, it's not just to lure the young master to the house."

Fu Nanling sneered, and said: "Of course I know this. In Fu Nanping's heart, nothing is more important than the throne. He has gone to great lengths to abolish Lin Wan'er's concubine position, and it is nothing more than for the envoy of Linguo a month later. Once the marriage is successful and he ascends to the crown prince, that is a certainty."

"What is the master's plan?"

"He wants to make a kiss, then let him make it."

Xiao Lizi frowned, and said: "Master, once Prince Ping's marriage is successful, it will be a great disadvantage to us."

Fu Nanling smiled contemptuously, and said: "Only a fool would do that. Since Fu Nanping wants to be a fool, can we stop it?"

"The prince means to win over Lin Ge and the General's Mansion?"

"Fu Nanping thought that Lin Tinghui was dismissed from office and Elder Lin Ge was harshly criticized, and the Lin family lost power, but he didn't think that Elder Lin Ge was the elder of the three dynasties, and it was not his descendants who could achieve longevity. There is also the General's Mansion, although it was The military power has been taken away, but the Imperial Forest Army is still under the control of the Sun family. If you want this capital, you can't do it without the Sun family. Don't want the ready-made things, and insist on looking far away, aren't you a fool?"

Xiao Lizi frowned, and said, "Then what does the prince want to do?"

"Since the emperor's brother is thinking hard, then we will push the boat along the way and help him when the time is right."

"My lord is wise!"

"What time is it?" Fu Nanling asked suddenly.

"Back to the master, it's already the beginning of the Hai hour."

Fu Nanling stood up suddenly and said, "Xiao Lizi, prepare the car, let's go home."

"At this time? Master, the gate of the palace is closed, besides, you have worked hard all day, and it is not easy to run back and forth."

"It's okay, you go to prepare the car, I can't feel at ease if I don't see him."

Seeing Fu Nanling's insistence, Xiao Lizi could only sigh helplessly, turned around and left the bedroom, and called his attendants to prepare the car.

After taking a shower, Ji Linglan was leaning on the bedside to read a book, when she heard a knock on the door, but no one spoke.He couldn't help asking strangely: "Who is it?"

The other party did not answer, and the knocking on the door continued.

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, put the book on the bed, took out the dagger from under the pillow, got out of bed and came to the door, and asked again: "Who is it?"

"Alan, it's me." A familiar voice sounded, but it was exhausted that could not be concealed.

Ji Linglan was startled, then put away the dagger, opened the door, looked at Fu Nanling in front of the door, and asked, "My lord, when did you return home?"

Fu Nanling's face was pale and he couldn't hide his tiredness. He said pitifully: "Alan, I'm so tired, can I go in and talk?"

Ji Linglan only hesitated for a moment, then let the door open and said, "Come in."

Fu Nanling immediately beamed with joy, entered the door hastily, took off his shoes and got into bed, all done in one go, extremely smooth.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said: "My lord, I only said to let you in, but I never said to sleep with you."

"Alan, I'm going back to the palace early tomorrow morning, you just take pity on me and let me stay."

Ji Linglan closed the door, frowned and said, "Can your body withstand such a toss?"

"I heard what happened today. I couldn't be by your side at the critical moment. I always felt uneasy. There was only one thought in my heart, and that was to see you, so I came back." Fu Nanling looked at him with burning eyes. Looking at Ji Linglan, she didn't hide the desire in her eyes at all.

Ji Linglan's heart trembled when she heard the words, and said: "You want to see me, that's the reason for your willfulness? If your body is broken, you will want to see me in the future, and you have no chance."

Although he was not forgiving, Ji Linglan still acquiesced in Fu Nanling's stay. He sat back on the bed again, picked up the book on the pillow, and said: "Let's let it go today, not in the future, can you hear me clearly?"

"Yeah, it's all according to A Lan." Fu Nanling nodded hastily, moved to Ji Linglan's side, grabbed his arm, and leaned weakly on his shoulder.

Ji Linglan looked down at him, and said softly: "Go to bed when you're tired, I'll read some more, it's time for me to rest."

"Alan, Lu Jiu told me about Fu Nanping's intrusion into the palace at night a few days ago. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, can you not hide it from me?"

"You are weak, and you have to take care of the emperor and guard against those who have evil intentions. The energy required is already overloaded. I don't want to distract you from the things I can solve by myself."

"Alan, those are not important. You are the only one I really care about. If something happens to you, what use will I have those?" Fu Nanling looked up at Ji Linglan, and said, "Promise me, you will be the only one in the future." If you encounter the same thing again, don’t hide it from me, okay?”

Ji Linglan was silent for a moment, and said: "When you confess to me, I will answer you again."

Fu Nanling's body froze, the strength in his hands tightened, and he said: "Alan, give me a little more time, I... I'm not ready yet."

Ji Linglan was inevitably a little disappointed, she got up and said, "I'm going to turn off the lights."

Ji Linglan got out of bed and blew out the lights, turned around and returned to the bed, but turned her body sideways, with her back to Fu Nanling.

Seeing this, Fu Nanling felt bitter and unbearable, approached him tentatively, put his forehead against his back, put his hand lightly on his waist, and said: "Alan, I'm going to prepare to receive the envoy from Linguo recently, I'm afraid it won't be long. I can’t come back. When this incident is over, I will tell you everything.”

Ji Linglan responded softly, "Go to sleep."

Fu Nanling leaned against Ji Linglan. Although the two were very close, he felt that there was a gap between them that could not be bridged.Fu Nanling understood that Ji Linglan had already become suspicious, and if he didn't confess, the relationship between them would only grow further and further apart.

Feeling the temperature behind her, Ji Linglan's mood was quite complicated. She wanted to know what Fu Nanling was hiding, but she was also afraid of knowing the truth.After living for nearly 40 years, he finally moved his heart, but the situation is still like this. Could it be that he is destined to die alone?

Early the next morning, around Yin Shizhong (four o'clock in the morning), Fu Nanling got up quietly, looked at Ji Linglan who was sleeping, bent down and approached carefully, and looked nervously at his lips.Warm breath hit his face, Fu Nanling felt his heart was about to jump out, but at this moment, Ji Linglan suddenly opened his eyes.

Fu Nanling paused, hurriedly opened the distance between the two, and said guiltyly: "Alan, well, it's time for me to enter the palace, it's still early, you should sleep for a while."

Looking at Fu Nanling who fled in embarrassment, Ji Linglan was inexplicably pleased, a smile appeared in his eyes, but he suddenly remembered the side concubine who framed him in his dream.The joy in my heart disappeared, replaced by a sour and astringent taste.

"There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem. Even if he doesn't want to marry, someone will force him to marry. Ji Linglan, Ji Linglan, if he really married someone else, even in name only, would you not care?"

Time passed quickly, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and Fu Nanling hadn't come back since that night.The decoration of the store was completed two days ago, and Ji Linglan went to check and accept it in person, and she was generally satisfied.It's rare for Fu Nanping to not do anything wrong, probably because the envoys from Linguo are about to arrive, and he has to concentrate on planning to find the right person for this marriage.

On the second floor of the Banquet Building, Ji Linglan was drinking tea leisurely, fixed her eyes on the crowd downstairs, and said, "Brother Lu, when will the envoys arrive?"

Lu Jiu also sat by the window drinking tea and said, "Before noon."

Looking at the lively scene below, Ji Linglan said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a tradition to watch the excitement. You look at the crowd downstairs, and you really doubt whether the convoy of the envoys can pass smoothly."

"Before the envoys enter the city, the Royal Forest Army will come to maintain order and ensure their safe passage."

Ji Linglan asked curiously: "Who is coming out of the city to greet you? King Ping?"

"Well, King Ping, Minister of Rites, and Minister of Guanglu Temple led all the officials to greet him."

Ji Linglan was a little surprised and said, "So grand?"

"Princess Yaohua, Linfengyao's position in Lin State is no less than that of King Ping in Fu State. Her son-in-law, Ji Mingqiu, is a general of Lin State. It is Fu Guo's confidant's serious trouble."

Ji Linglan asked puzzledly: "Then what is the purpose of their coming here? Now that the Three Kingdoms are at the same level, and Linguo has the potential to overwhelm the two countries, why do they want to make peace?"

"Although Linguo's national power is strong, the royal heirs are weak. The emperors of Linguo are all infatuated, and there is only one empress in the huge harem. Now Linhuang is very old, but there are only one son and one daughter under his knees, which is the current emperor. The crown prince Linfengshu and the princess Linfengyao. Linfengshu is cowardly and indecisive by nature, and has no ability to control a country. If he is allowed to succeed, I fear that the three kingdoms will not last long. Fortunately, there are Linfengyao and Assistant Ji Mingqiu, this marriage is probably Lin Guo's plan for the future."

Ji Linglan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Won't the ministers object to the empress alone?"

Lu Jiu naturally noticed Ji Linglan's expression, and understood what he cared about, and said, "It's human-made, nothing is impossible."

Ji Linglan was startled when she heard the words, but when she realized it, she couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and changed the subject: "Then Linfengshu should have an heir now, right?"

"There is a son who has just reached the age of the weak crown. He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and his condition is similar to that of the prince. In addition, there are two daughters. The eldest daughter married Lu Zhi, the eldest son of Prime Minister Lu Zhong, and the younger daughter is only ten years old now."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "What about Princess Yaohua?"

"Princess Yaohua's eldest son passed away, and now there is only one daughter under her knees."

"Then why is she willing to let her daughter marry so far away?"

"This is also for the royal family of the neighboring country, and it is a last resort."

Ji Linglan couldn't help sighing. Although people in the royal family have the power that everyone admires, they also have helplessness that ordinary people can't understand. For them, the continuation of the royal family is their primary consideration in everything they do, not their own. happiness.

"I hope they don't choose to make peace with Prince Ping."

"Judging from the current situation, King Ping is their best choice."

Ji Linglan pretended to be calm and asked: "Since a marriage is so important, what does the prince think? Doesn't he plan to fight for it?"

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "Ah Lan should know best how the prince will choose."

Ji Linglan's face became hot, she shifted her eyes to cover up, and took a sip from her teacup.

"Stay back, back!" There was a sound of heavy footsteps, followed by loud shouts.

Ji Linglan looked over and found that there was a group of soldiers in armor on the street, maintaining order in the street.

"The envoys have entered the city, and they will pass through here in another quarter of an hour."

"Brother Lu, have you ever been to Linguo? How are Linguo people different from us?" Ji Linglan subconsciously thought of those blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners in modern society.

"The appearance is the same, both have black hair and black eyes, but the clothes are slightly different."

"Oh, what about the text, is it universal?"

"The characters of the three countries are the same."

"I see."

Ji Linglan didn't ask any more questions, and looked outside while drinking tea.

After about a quarter of an hour, the noise from outside resounded again, and a convoy came from west to east. At a glance, it occupied the entire street, and the flag of Lin Guo was planted on the carriage.The first one is a luxurious carriage, the heavy curtains are lifted, leaving only a layer of tulle floating, the people inside are faintly visible, you can see its graceful figure, but you can't see its true face, which makes the onlookers feel relieved more curious.

In front of the carriage were two tall horses, one of them was Fu Nanping wearing a black python robe, and the other was a tall man in armor with a weapon and whip hanging from his waist, riding alongside Fu Nanping.

As the distance got closer, Ji Linglan finally saw the man's face clearly. His facial features were handsome and his face was well-defined, which fit Ji Linglan's image of a general marching and fighting in his mind. He had a manly air of a soldier.

Seemingly aware of Ji Linglan's gaze, the man looked up and happened to meet Ji Linglan's gaze.Ji Linglan smiled slightly, but the man was dazed for a moment.Unavoidably, Fu Nanping saw that something was wrong, so Ji Linglan left the window decisively.

Fu Nanping noticed Ji Mingqiu's abnormality, and followed his line of sight, but saw nothing, and couldn't help asking strangely: "What is the general looking at?"

Ji Mingqiu came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Fu Nanping said with a smile: "The general and the princess are exhausted from the journey, first go to the Huitong Hall to rest, and in the evening, the father is throwing a banquet to clean up the general and the princess."

Ji Mingqiu said indifferently: "Princess is suffering from wind and cold, and I may not be able to attend the banquet today. Please also ask King Ping to report to the emperor. After the princess recovers from illness, I will apologize to the emperor."

Fu Nanping asked with concern: "The princess is ill, have you ever seen a doctor?"

"There was an imperial physician with me, but I just traveled day and night, I couldn't rest well, and I haven't recovered."

"If you need any kind of medicinal material, the general can just ask, and the king will find it for the princess."

"Thank you King Ping for your generosity."

Fu Nanping tried to draw in the relationship with Ji Mingqiu, but Ji Mingqiu was always so lukewarm, and even the expression on his face never changed. This made Fu Nanping, who has always been good at communication, couldn't help feeling deep in his heart. deep frustration.

Upstairs, Ji Linglan looked at the group of people going away, and asked casually: "Brother Lu, how is Princess Ping doing now?"

Lu Jiu retracted his gaze and replied: "After we left Ping Wang's mansion that day, Ping Wang took people to Linge's mansion. I don't know what they said, but after a few days, Ping Wang and Princess Ping reconciled. Lin Wan'er was taken home by Elder Lin Ge himself."

"Then side concubine Li died in vain? What about her family?"

Lu Jiu said calmly: "As long as Fu Nanping promises enough benefits, the death of a daughter is really nothing."

Although Lu Jiu's words were not pleasant, it was a common social phenomenon in feudal society, not only for ordinary people, but also for the royal family, just like today's grand marriage.To put it bluntly, it is to exchange the happiness of her daughter's life in exchange for sufficient benefits.

"What about Concubine Li's child? How is it now?"

Lu Jiu understood Ji Linglan's worries, and said soothingly: "After all, he is the first child of Prince Ping's Mansion, so he will not be underestimated. Don't worry."

Ji Linglan sighed and said, "I hope so."
