Chapter 115 Inside Story (two more)
Perhaps it was because she had worked too long last night, and it was almost time when Lin Zhao opened her eyes sleepily. The sun outside the window warmed her body, she turned her head suddenly, and there was no one beside her pillow.

"Master?"

Lin Zhao sat up and saw the person standing with his back facing him in front of the window, heaved a sigh of relief: "What time is it now? I'm going to visit the princess today."

"Ma'am is awake, it's time for lunch."

Xue Dao was neatly dressed, turned around, and looked at her with folded arms.

Lin Zhao quickly lowered his head to look for his embroidered shoes. Who knew that Xue Dao came over. On the table beside him was a set of clothes that Huaizhou local girls often wear. He picked up the embroidered shoes on top, squatted by the couch, and stretched out .

Lin Zhao didn't know why, so his two feet were twisted together.

Xue Dao raised his head, his eyes seemed to blow the morning breeze: "What? Are you shy now?"

Lin Zhao bit his lip, and passed his foot over. Xue Dao put it on, looked at her body, and said gloatingly, "It seems that I have chosen the right clothes, and it can be covered up."

Lin Zhao realized that his neck and collarbone were full of tooth marks, so he stretched out his hand to cover it, took the clothes and put them on, and hurriedly said, "Take me to see the princess."

"It's too late today, let's go tomorrow." Xue Dao said.

Lin Zhao frowned: "But this is too unruly."

"It's okay, I've already told someone to tell the princess." Seeing that Lin Zhao was about to comb her hair, Xue Dao took the comb, put down all her hair, looked at the smoothness of her hair in the mirror, and said, "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, natural to carve, I don't think I need to dress up today."

Xue Dao went to the outer room to bring hot water and towels, and asked Lin Zhao to wipe his face. The man raised his head: "No makeup? People will be laughed at if they see it. What does it look like?"

"Who dares to say that Mrs. Xue Dao is wrong." He said with a smile.

Lin Zhao stared at him blankly.

Xue Dao took her hand and walked out. Lin Zhao thought that he was going to have lunch, but the two of them walked out of the courtyard gate of Tingyu Pavilion, and asked strangely: "Master, where are we going?" ?”

"Didn't I say yesterday that I would take you to visit Huaizhou City?"

Xue Dao chuckled: "Do you know about Moon Lake?"

Lin Zhao nodded lightly: "Mount Emei is in the middle of autumn, and the shadow of the Pingqiang River flows. I have heard of this Yueshang Lake in Huaizhou since I was very young." With joy in his eyes, "You want to take me there? "

"Madam is really full of poetic spirit." Xue Dao said with a smile, "I asked Ping Lian to book a painting boat. Let's go to Yueshang Lake to have a good look at it today, okay?"

Lin Zhao agreed.

The carriage slowly arrived at Yueshang Lake, and the two landed on the ground. Lin Zhao looked at this place, but it was a big clear lake, intertwined with blue and emerald green, with flocks of birds and birds, and there were many people wandering around for fun. There were also boats floating on the lake, men and women Drinking and laughing on the top is a peaceful scene rarely seen in Qingjing.

Xue Dao turned his head, and Lin Zhao followed suit.

"Huaizhou skinny horse." said the former.

Lin Zhao finally realized after being reminded that there was a man and three women on the small boat. These three young girls holding musical instruments were actually young prostitutes.

The painting boat that Ping Lian had booked slowly landed. This cruise ship was much smaller than the one she took when she came here, but it was more beautiful and elegant than that one. Thick curtains covered the windows.

Xue Dao helped Lin Zhao up, let the people on the boat go down, and supported the pole himself. The boat sailed slowly towards the middle of the lake. Lin Zhao sat by the side of the boat, smelling the fragrance of the flowers and the breeze blowing his face. Changyi.

The boat sailed far away, almost reaching the opposite bank, Xue Dao retracted the pole, stopped among a lotus leaf, looked back at Lin Zhao, pointed to the small pavilion, Lin Zhao went in, there was a food table inside, and she sat down , Xue Dao sat leaning against the door, and suddenly said: "Madam, do you know...why the prince blamed this matter on the Xue family."

Lin Zhao picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but did not place his beak directly.

Xue Dao casually turned over the hem of his clothes: "I want to hear from you, you don't have to worry, you and I are husband and wife, there should be no false words between husband and wife."

Lin Zhao hesitated, and then said: "Prince Huai is the younger brother of Prince Ying, so he is naturally feared by the saint. If he can be killed, he must do meritorious service in front of the saint. However... assassinating a royal family is a felony, and it is a felony to receive credit in private. Someone needs to take the blame. Your grandfather once had a good relationship with King Ying, and you are a scholar of the eldest son. If your father-in-law hadn’t contributed to supporting the saint’s ascension to the throne, you might be in danger of dying. Therefore, you pretended to be the work of the Xue family. It is only said that in order to keep the saint's heart, the Xue family is willing to use the heads of Prince Huai and his son as a nomination certificate, so that they can keep their current status as new nobles forever, and only in this way can the framing matter be justified."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xue Dao vigilantly. The man closed his eyes and nodded: "You are right." Then he opened his mouth and smiled, "But do you know who is behind this?"

Lin Zhao said truthfully: "I'm afraid he is also a member of the royal family."

"It's the prince."

Xue Dao was straightforward.

Lin Zhao was shocked.

"If there was no son that day, I'm afraid King Huai would have died on the spot."

"But isn't the prince already awake? You said in your letter that as long as you search the city to identify him, the assassin who fled Huaizhou City will be caught sooner or later."

"The son is not awake."

Xue Dao said, "I lied to you."

Lin Zhao's eyes rolled slightly, and he understood in an instant: "You didn't lie to me, you lied to the prince."

Xue Dao chuckled.

"The city of Huaizhou is closed, those assassins and the crown prince can't communicate, so they will... intercept the letters between you and me to check." Lin Zhao had no intention of eating, and carefully analyzed, "I'm afraid the Zhang family's bodyguard bureau who sent letters back and forth has hidden The person who has captured the crown prince, so far, got the news, will make such a bad plan, let the assassin attack the mansion again, and then be caught by you, and confess the slander and nonsense."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xue Dao, who stared at her with burning eyes.

Lin Zhaodao: "Am I wrong?"

"That's right."

Xue Dao looked at her with his chin propped up: "The prince can't wake up, we can't catch the assassins, tell a lie to lure them into the bait, as for the assassin's slander, the prince and princess don't believe it, the secret presented to the saint The purpose of the letter is to scare the snake away, and now that the fifth prince is coming, the assassin is being imprisoned in the palace, and everything will come to fruition."

After hearing this, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the case, and wondered that the letter suddenly became strange.

"Ming Wei, have you seen the secret agents in the escort agency?"

Xue Dao asked.

Lin Zhao thought of that person, nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen it."

"Since that's the case, then don't say anything." Xue Dao said, "They know your identity, and they won't do it casually. I heard from Ping Lian that you were assassinated when you came here. I'm afraid it's just a cover-up."

"Blindfolding?"

"Since it's an assassination, why did you send only one person and be restrained by that Xie Shuangmu with one blow? It's just to win your trust. I've seen the assassination man before. The belt is standard for the Long Tassel Army."

"Long Tassel Army?"

Lin Zhao gripped the chopsticks: "Wei Xianfei's natal family."
