The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 339 Testing

All the breakthroughs still lie with Zheng Qi.

"Do you have any idea about the spy that Zheng Qi mentioned?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.

He Jingheng shook his head.

Many things that happened five years ago are difficult to verify. As for the spy, he was even able to grasp the marching route, which shows that his position in the army was extraordinary.

The wartime geomancy map had been kept in the study of the palace. Apart from my father, I was the only one who had access to it. Who on earth could have copied a copy of the wartime geomancy map right under their noses?

Whenever he thought of these things, he couldn't stop getting a headache.

He Jingheng rubbed his brows. At this moment, Yunqi's anxious voice came: "Prince, Crown Prince's Consort."

"when?"

Yunqi walked into the study room, holding a dagger in his hand: "Sir, there is a letter on this dagger. When I chased him out, he had already disappeared."

He Jingheng unfolded the letter and said in a deep voice, "It's someone from Chiyu Villa."

His eyes fell on the handle of the dagger and saw a tiny red feather pattern on it.

"The owner of Chiyu Villa." He Jingheng said in a low voice: "If you can catch him, all his martial arts training will be in vain."

Speaking of Chiyu Villa, Shang Ruoyi just happened to have something to ask him.

"Answer me truthfully, did you massacre the whole family back then?"

He Jingheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We, the Dingguo Palace, have been at war for years, and we don't even have a home to return to. Why would we rush over to slaughter their entire family?"

"really?"

"I swear on the reputation of the Dingguo Palace for a hundred years. You should believe it now, right?" He Jingheng was quite helpless. "Every battle of the Dingguo Palace is justified. We will never kill innocent people. You even said that you would not let go of babies in their cradles. Do you think this is my style of doing things?"

Shang Ruoyi's last bit of doubt was dispelled, she picked up the pen and said to He Jingheng beside her: "What are you looking at? Pen and ink are waiting for you."

He Jingheng was stunned for a moment, then recovered and went to grind the ink stick with a smile.

Yunqi, who was standing opposite, also turned around and left very skillfully, and closed the door considerately. It would be better for their prince to be humble and modest so as not to be seen by others.

Shang Ruoyi had just finished writing her reply when she suddenly remembered what Yingxue had said. The token of the Dingguo Palace was dropped at the Ling family. If the token was real, did it mean that someone from the Dingguo Palace was really involved? And who went to the Ling family?

The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

Perhaps, this person is the spy hiding in the mansion.

On the second night, in a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, Ling Feng was making tea. He was the only one in the huge yard, and the aroma of tea filled his nose.

"Since you're here, why are you still hiding in the dark?"

Shang Ruoyi flew down, Ling Feng's eyes fell on her, and he smiled softly: "I didn't expect you to really come."

"You threw the letter into the yard, why wouldn't I come?" She sat straight on the chair, Ling Feng poured her a cup of tea, Shang Ruoyi took a sip without blinking, it was warm, and the coldness in her body was instantly dispelled.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?"

"Haha, have you forgotten what I am best at?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Besides, we have known each other for a while, I believe you would not do such a thing."

Ling Feng chuckled: "How do you know that I won't kill people out of revenge?"

Shang Ruoyi looked at him and said slowly and firmly: "Because you are not sure whether the extermination of your Ling family was done by the Dingguo Palace, and the poison in Manager Qian has not been cured yet!"

"I didn't expect you would say that."

"The poison in Shopkeeper Qian's body is not difficult to cure." She threw him a pill and said, "Just mix it with snow water and take it."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I was the one who poisoned you. No one can solve the problem except me. But if there is a next time, I will definitely not show mercy. You should know that I have dozens of poisons that can kill you instantly."

Ling Feng raised the teacup and drank it all: "Let's use tea instead of wine."

"Tell me about your Ling family."

Speaking of this, Ling Feng sighed, "It's been many years since the incident. The Ling family was once a prosperous family that almost monopolized all the fabric industries in Jiangnan. I was young at that time, and I didn't know why my family was wiped out. I was away that day, and when I returned home, no one in my family was alive. Not only people, but also dogs were killed. I found this at the scene." She took out a black token and put it on the table: "I didn't dare to make it public, so Butler Qian took me to hide everywhere, for fear that people would find out that there were still descendants of the Ling family alive in this world."

Shang Ruoyi picked up the token, looked at it over and over again, then took out an identical one and put them together.

The two tokens are exactly the same in style and material.

If she was right, this must have been the work of the spy.

Seeing her heavy face, Ling Feng whispered: "I didn't want to use you, but in order to avenge the hundreds of people in the Ling family, I had to do this."

Shang Ruoyi didn't look at him, but looked at the token in her hand with disbelief.

This, how is this possible?

Noticing that she looked very unhappy, Ling Feng frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"How could it be him?"

"what?"

Shang Ruoyi withdrew her gaze and suddenly remembered what He Jingheng said to her before she left.

She said quickly: "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

Just as she was about to leave, Ling Feng grabbed her and said, "Where are you going?"

Shang Ruoyi looked at him: "Do you want to come with me?"

At this time, the He family.

He Jingheng was discussing matters with He Zhiyuan in the study.

"Uncle San, what on earth are you doing here so late?"

He looked at the sky outside and said anxiously, "I've been here for almost half an hour, and you haven't said anything serious yet."

He Zhiyuan said softly: "Jingheng, where is Ruoyi?"

"She has something to do and is out."

"It's so unsafe for a girl to go out so late at night."

"Uncle San, I was originally going to go out with her. If you hadn't said you had something important to tell me, I would have gone with her."

Hearing this, He Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly.

"Uncle San, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious. I just heard that Lord Zheng Qi was kidnapped by snow bandits. My uncle had some friendship with him when he was an official in the court, so I wanted to ask if you could rescue him."

He Jingheng's eyes flickered when he heard this.

"Uncle San, why have I never heard you mention being on good terms with the Zheng family?"

He Zhiyuan smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "Zheng Qi has offended my elder brother before, how dare I make it public?"

"I see." He Jingheng nodded. "But who did Third Uncle hear about the abduction of Lord Zheng?"
