Princess Yongan's Mansion.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

Seeing someone suddenly kneeling down and worshiping like this, Ling Yuyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Wuji in confusion.

"Princess, please be patient."

"Tell the princess everything you know."

Li Wuji smiled, turned to look at A'er who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"yes..."

"The younger one's name is A'er, and he is a follower of Lu Qingshu, the son of Lu Zhengping, the Minister of War. Lu Qingshu sent people to kill the little prince!"

A'er nodded, looked up at Ling Yuyan, and said slowly.

After hearing A'er's words, Ling Yuyan and the others all changed their expressions.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Xia Qiu stared at Ah Er and asked loudly.

"It's absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Ah Er nodded affirmatively and said.

"Then why did he kill my young prince?!"

Xia Qiu asked loudly.

"That's because... because Lu Qingshu was jealous of His Highness Taiqing's favor for Marquis Liyang, and was worried that the Marquis would steal his position in Taiqing's heart, so he wanted to suppress the Marquis."

"Originally, under the instruction of Master Shangshu, he ordered the capital guards to find trouble in Las Vegas, but to no avail, so Lu Qingshu took the initiative and found out that the young prince often went to Las Vegas to gamble, and then spent a lot of money on it.

I spent a lot of money to find a killer and kill the young prince, intending to use this to frame the marquis..."

A'er hesitated for a moment, glanced at Li Wuji, and said with trembling lips.

After hearing A'er's explanation, Xia Qiu and the blue-clothed swordsman both looked angry, but Ling Yuyan, on the other hand, had a calm face, only frowning slightly.

"Although the murderer has fled the capital, I have found this person and captured him. If the princess needs it, I can have someone send him to the capital immediately. It is entirely up to the princess to handle it."

"As for this person, although he did not participate in the assassination, he is also Lu Qingshu's personal attendant. If he cannot escape his involvement, he can be handed over to the princess."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan who was as calm as water and said seriously.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, A'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked and looked up at Li Wuji in horror, because that was not what Li Wuji promised him in the first place.

"He is just a person who follows orders, what does it have to do with him? Since the Lu family has died, I don't want to pursue it anymore."

"As for the murderer, there is no need to send him to the capital. I just have to trouble the Marquis and let your people take action."

Ling Yuyan thought deeply, sighed, and spoke slowly.

"That's fine, Princess, don't worry, that man will soon go down to bury the young prince with him."

Li Wuji nodded and said seriously.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Ling Yuyan stood up slowly, bowed to Li Wuji and said gratefully.

"It's just a little effort, you're welcome."

Li Wuji smiled, raised his hand, and said softly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji winked at Cao Zian. After Cao Zian understood, he left the princess's mansion with the frightened A'er.

"I will definitely keep this kindness in my heart and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Ling Yuyan looked at Li Wuji and said sincerely.

"No need. I am not here today to seek repayment from the princess. I just feel ashamed of the princess. Although the young prince was not killed by me, he died because of me after all, and I am also responsible."

"I owe the princess a favor. If you can be of use to me in the future, just ask."

Li Wuji looked directly at Ling Yuyan and said seriously, his eyes sincere.

Looking at Li Wuji, who was the only two people in the rumors, Ling Yuyan frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"This is my first time here. It's still early. Can I have a look around?"

Li Wuji finished drinking the tea in his cup, stood up slowly, and asked with a smile.

"certainly."

Ling Yuyan agreed, stood up and made a gesture of invitation, led Li Wuji out of the main hall, and began to wander around the mansion.

It must be said that although Ling Yuyan came to the capital as a hostage seven years ago, the empress is not stingy. The environment and area of ​​this mansion are both good.

There are many gardens, rockeries, pavilions and pavilions, which can be considered magnificent.

After walking to a pavilion in the backyard, Li Wuji stopped, sat on a stone bench, and signaled Lu Yuan who was following him to step back.

When Ling Yuyan saw this, she knew that Li Wuji was going to say something that was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so she also thought about the sword servants and Xia Qiu who were following her and waved her hands.

"Princess Princess?"

Xia Qiu glanced at Li Wuji hesitantly, with worry on his face.

"It's okay, please step back first."

Ling Yuyan showed a relieved smile and said slowly.

Xia Qiu nodded, exited the pavilion with the sword attendant, and stood not far away, always observing the two people in the pavilion with nervous expressions.

"They are worried about you."

Li Wuji looked at Xia Qiu, who had been looking forward to it, and said with a smile.

"Don't blame me for being childish."

"Now there are only two people left here, the Marquis and myself. If the Marquis has anything to say, you can say it."

Ling Yuyan smiled bitterly, defended Xia Qiu, and then said seriously.

"Although you and I don't belong to the same country, the princess is the least bullying person among the noble people I have ever met. There must be many people like them who make you care about and try every means to protect them, right?"

Li Wuji smiled and said pointedly.

"Yu Yan is stupid and doesn't understand the meaning of Lord Hou's words."

Ling Yuyan said with a smile.

"It's not that you don't understand, you just don't want to be seen through."

"The death of the young prince is a big blow to you, right? You seem to be calm, but I can see that you feel very uncomfortable."

"Although I have not personally experienced the pain of losing a loved one, I can relate to it."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan and said sincerely.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan frowned and fell into silence, neither admitting nor denying.

"The reason why you found a so-called murderer to ask the Five Elements Division to stop investigating the murder of the young prince and give up revenge for the young prince is not because you are cold-blooded, nor is it because you are afraid of me."

"You just want to protect those you care about and care about, because you know that once this matter is related to Li Guo's court, Ling Guo will not let it go, and this is the result you least want to see!

"

"Once the two countries are at war again, the people on the border between the two countries will be implicated, and Ling Guo has no chance of winning. You don't want to put Ling Guo's fate on the murder of the young prince."

"So this matter must be stopped in moderation. No matter who the murderer is, it is no longer important, or even if it is important, you can't do anything about it, because you want to protect Ling Country and protect the people of Ling Country, right?"

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan and spoke softly, every word like a knife, almost pulling Ling Yuyan naked.

Ling Yuyan looked at Li Wuji in disbelief. She was no longer as calm as at the beginning. Her eyes were full of surprise, but she still didn't say a word.

"I am not a spy sent by the imperial court, and I am not here to test you. I just accidentally understood what you were thinking, so I admire you and want to meet you."

"Just think of it as a gift in return. After all, you helped me block the entanglement of the Five Elements Division and did me a big favor, whether it was intentional or unintentional."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this. God knows and the earth knows. You know and I know."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Ling Yuyan hesitated for a long time and finally spoke slowly, her words full of gratitude.

Similarly, in her heart, she also unconsciously developed a feeling of admiration for Li Wuji.

"Don't call me Lord Marquis. I don't like it. Just call me Young Master. It sounds more friendly."

"Okay?"

Li Wuji slowly turned his head, looked at Ling Yuyan unscrupulously again, and asked with a smile.

"Listen to the young master."

Ling Yuyan nodded slightly and answered slowly.

"good."
