Episode 40

Ling Buyi, Cheng Shaoshang, and Yuan Shen and others came to the place where Liang Shang was killed. It was built with bricks and wood outside. As soon as they walked in, they could see a case with many gold and stone objects next to it. Because they found that it was immediatelyThe scene was preserved, so you can still see a few black and red blood stains on the table and couch.According to what Qu Lingjun said, the maidservant Youtong went to deliver food to Liang Shang on her behalf, but was scolded and went out. It was not until the servant went in with the book that he found Liang Shang dead at his desk with a dagger stuck in his back.Liang's mother still refused to give up and scolded Qu Lingjun as a murderer. Cheng Shaoshang suggested investigating the scene first. Yuan Shen couldn't help but mock her as the most showy girl in the city.Mother Yuan watched the two people quarreling with each other, and she already made a judgment in her heart. She concluded that her son must like Cheng Shaoshang.After arriving at Shulu, Cheng Shaoshang and Yuan Shen inevitably quarreled. In order to protect Cheng Shaoshang, Yuan Shen decided to accompany him. Although he had good intentions, his mouth was so annoying that Cheng Shaoshang did not appreciate it.

Moreover, from Cheng Shaoshang's point of view, he was not a girl who married to obey her husband. Yuan Shen must be jealous that Ling Buyi could marry such an outstanding person like him, but he still advised him to lower his sights.Yuan Shen was speechless and simply walked out of the study house. Cheng Shaoshang looked around and was inspired by Yuan Shen's words to measure the dimensions of the house inside and outside step by step. Sure enough, he found that there was a secret room hidden in the study house.Just as Cheng Shaoshang was carefully groping the wall, activating the mechanism and preparing to enter the secret room, a pair of hands suddenly pulled her in.Cheng Shaoshang took a closer look and found that the other party was actually Liang Ya. The eye-catching bloody clothes next to him and his panicked expression were enough to show that he was the real murderer.Cheng Shaoshang tried his best to calm down his emotions and deliberately guided Liang Xia to explain the whole story.

It turns out that Liang's mother promised to pass on the position of head of the family to Liang Xia, but unexpectedly it fell to the unlearned and incompetent Liang Shang. It was because of her unwillingness that she finally had the idea of ​​killing.At the same time, Liang Wuji guessed that Liang Xia was abnormal, and then it was reported that Cheng Shaoshang was missing. Ling Buji immediately ordered people to demolish the book house.Liang's mother failed to stop him, and Liang Xia became more and more anxious. Cheng Shaoshang coaxed him into making a deal with Ling Buyi, and he still had a chance to survive.Seeing that the wall was about to be smashed, Liang Xia appeared holding Cheng Shaoshang hostage with a dagger. Ling Buyi deliberately wanted to cut off Liang's mother's hands and feet, and while she was distracted, he directly pulled Cheng Shaoshang into his arms.Cheng Shaoshang was safe and sound, but Liang Ya had become a fish in the net, madly cursing his mother for her hypocrisy.

Yuan's mother found it incredible what Liang Ya did. It was Liang Ya who was not funny and had no ambition, so the position of head of the family was not passed to him. He was also a loving mother who often failed.Ling Buyi asked Liang Ya to reveal the mastermind of the prince's plot, but before Liang Ya could speak, he was silenced by Liang Wuji.Liang Wuji accompanied Ling Buyi into the palace to meet the saint. He spoke about his origins to show his loyalty, and bluntly said that shooting Liang Xia would be beneficial to the overall situation.After Liang Wuji left, Ling Buyi also confirmed that this person was not the mastermind. In fact, Emperor Wen already knew this.At the same time, a slap hit the little Yue Hou's face hard, followed by the Yue Concubine's scolding.Xiao Yuehou confessed to the frame-up of the prince, and even felt aggrieved for the concubine Yue and the third prince, feeling that Emperor Wen was too partial to the Xuan family.Regarding the Gucheng case, the cause of the death of King Lao Qian'an, and the murder of Han Wu, Concubine Yue had already guessed at least seventy-eight points. Xiao Yuehou knew that she could not hide it, so she truthfully told the whole story.

It was precisely because he wanted to take revenge on the Xuan family that Xiao Yuehou planned to let King Lao Qianan go into the dense forest to investigate the miasma, but he did not expect that the situation would get out of control.As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Buyi and Emperor Wen suddenly appeared. Only then did Xiao Yuehou realize that Concubine Yue had deceived him into deceiving him.Ling Buyi asked Xiao Yuehou why he wanted to change the ordnance. Even if the support was delayed, Gucheng could still support it for ten days, but in the end it only lasted two days.Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuehou had no idea about the ordnance and once again emphasized that he had no intention of harming the Huo family. From this, Ling Buyi concluded that there was a traitor around King Lao Qianan, and Peng Kun was the culprit.Emperor Wen thought that the Yue clan was full of loyal people and only two brothers and sisters were left alive, so he announced on the spot that he would deprive Xiao Yue of his title and demote him to guard the imperial mausoleum.Even Concubine Yue felt ridiculous for such an obvious cover-up punishment. Although Ling Buyi showed no reaction on the surface, her heart was already turbulent, and she frowned and returned to Changqiu Palace.

Cheng Shaoshang noticed Ling Buyi's emotions and couldn't help but ask about the situation. Ling Buyi asked Cheng Shaoshang how he viewed revenge, even if it hurt the person he loved deeply.Cheng Shaoshang was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said that there must be a choice between two things, and there must be a more important one.That night, Yuan's mother suddenly asked Yuan Shen if he liked Cheng Shaoshang. Yuan Shen thought for a moment and said that he had had fantasies about his future wife in the past, involving family background, appearance, talent, learning and moral character. But later when he saw his parents' separate marriage, he instantly felt that marriageIf this is the case, there is really no need to get married.Although Yuan Shen did like Cheng Shaoshang, it was a pity that he was a step too late, and even other girls could not replace him.Yuan's mother felt helpless, lamenting that she and her husband were married from aristocratic families, and the interests involved were so intertwined that it ultimately affected Yuan Shen.

Although Yuan Shen liked Cheng Shaoshang in his heart, it was too late now. Even if there were so many arrangements, it was of no use, but he still planned to live the life in front of him.Concubine Yue summoned Ling Buyi alone and wanted to apologize for what happened back then. She also said that Emperor Wen's approach was not very appropriate, so if Ling Buyi needed her to do something, she would definitely help secretly.Concubine Yue also hopes that Ling Buyi can put aside his hatred and continue the Huo family's bloodline to live a good life.Ling Buyi rejected Concubine Yue's kindness, saying that the incident back then would not implicate the Yue family, but he would not let go of the hatred in his heart, and he would definitely return it to his true enemy a thousandfold.
