Empress, your husband is invincible

Chapter 157 Finding the traitor

After Li An expressed his loyalty, in order to show his own value, he asked Ling Xuejian:

"Your Majesty, I think you have already locked the person who betrayed you in your heart, but I think you should also find out the reason why she betrayed you, and find out who is related to that person, so as to follow the clues and find the instigator behind it." By.

Only by finding out the mastermind behind the scenes can you completely escape the danger, otherwise you may have a second or third assassination during this trip. "

Listening to Li An's words, Ling Xuejian nodded in satisfaction. She admired Ye Cheng's eyes very much at this time. In the vast sea of ​​people, he managed to find such a talent as Li An, and he stayed by her side since childhood. It is most reassuring to put such a person above the court as his right-hand man.

Right now, this eight or nine-year-old child is able to grasp the key to the problem in a nutshell, which can be seen as a talent.

Ye Cheng was also looking at Ling Xuejian at this time, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, and he also hoped that Ling Xuejian could tell who she suspected.

Ling Xuejian was also very angry at this time, someone who was willing to listen to her, and someone who was trustworthy, she naturally wished for it.

So, Ling Xuejian sighed silently, and then said:
"That person should be Aunt Mengzhi who served in front of the imperial court."

After Ye Cheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows with a look of understanding.

Seeing Ye Cheng's appearance, Ling Xuejian asked:
"Why? Could it be that you already knew?"

Ye Sheng replied:
"It's just a suspicion."

As soon as Ling Xuejian heard Ye Cheng's answer, he became angry all of a sudden, and asked angrily:
"Since you suspect her, why didn't you tell me earlier? This will also put me on guard."

Seeing Ling Xuejian's angry look, Ye Cheng couldn't help but raised his hand to touch Ling Xuejian's little Qiong's nose, and then replied:

"If I told you my suspicion early in the morning, would you believe me?"

Ling Xuejian choked.

Indeed, if she hadn't been able to detect this incident by herself, she would not believe anyone telling her that Aunt Mengzhi had a problem.

Maybe Aunt Mengzhi hid it so well that Ling Xuejian suspected many people around her, except her.

Seeing that Ling Xuejian was no longer contradicting himself, Ye Cheng continued:

"At first, I was just suspicious, because Aunt Mengzhi seemed to be too perfect, so perfect that there was no flaw. But the more she is like this, the more problematic she is.

How could a person be so flawless, unable to find a single fault?Unless she is calculating everything and acting everywhere. "

When Ye Cheng was in the modern age, he was a special vanguard. Dealing with spies was a compulsory course. Facing a small character like Aunt Mengzhi, Ye Cheng could detect problems just by looking up. .

It's just that Ye Cheng didn't want or want to reveal his true identity, so he found a random reason to convince Ling Xuejian.

Ling Xuejian took a deep breath and continued:
"I really never doubted Aunt Mengzhi. She has been serving my mother since she was in power. She has never done anything wrong or made a mistake over the years. My mother has always trusted her. .

Therefore, after I ascended the throne, I always kept her by my side, and never thought of changing her away.

If the betrayer is really her, then when did she start to be an internal responder?Who is her master behind the scenes?What good will it do her if she betrays me and makes me suffer misfortune? "

After much deliberation, Ling Xuejian couldn't figure out why Aunt Mengzhi would betray her, so she simply threw her doubts to Ye Cheng and Li An, two smart people.

Ye Cheng was silent, but he turned his eyes to Li An.

Li An received Ye Cheng's signal and knew that this was another test for him, so Li An said clearly:
"Your Majesty, if you want to find out why Aunt Mengzhi murdered you, you should start with Aunt Mengzhi's relatives."

After hearing what Li An said, Ling Xuejian recalled it carefully in his mind, and then said:

"Aunt Mengzhi and her mother are also serving in front of the imperial court. I remember seeing Aunt Mengzhi's mother when I was young. She was serving my grandmother at that time. She was a very capable woman with a dark complexion. My grandmother's trust."

Li An listened to Ling Xuejian's answer seriously, and then continued to ask:
"Then who is Aunt Mengzhi's father?"

This question baffles our high and mighty empress, she is busy with everything, so why would she pay attention to who is the father of a court lady?
However, she still tried her best to search her memory in her mind, trying to think of any clues.

Suddenly, Ling Xuejian's eyes lit up, looking at her, one knew she was thinking of something.

Ye Cheng and Li An didn't urge Ling Xuejian either, they just waited for her to recover and speak out by themselves.

Only Ling Xuejian murmured:
"I remembered that Aunt Mengzhi's mother married the steward of Prime Minister Gao's family. It is said that the two fell in love at first sight. For this reason, Prime Minister Gao personally begged my grandma to marry her."

Ang Lee continued:

"It seems unreasonable that the prime minister of a country kneels down and begs the monarch to marry him for a servant?"

Ling Xuejian nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yes, this is indeed not in line with common sense. Generally speaking, the emperor would only marry his relatives and loyal officials of the court, and marry his servants, which would only cause him to lose his status.

The reason why I remembered this incident was also because Prime Minister Gao knelt outside my grandmother's bedroom for two hours, which caused a lot of discussion in the harem, so it was heard by me back then. "

Li An continued to ask:

"Your Majesty, the old Majesty at that time, did you agree to marry me?"

Ling Xuejian nodded and replied:
"I agreed. I don't know what method Prime Minister Gao used to convince my grandma. Anyway, my grandma agreed to this marriage. Not only did she personally propose the marriage, but she also gave her a lot of dowry."

After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Li An said:
"This is easy to explain. Prime Minister Gao has never been a pro-imperialist. He has always made great achievements in self-healing. It is not uncommon for his descendants to connive at the people's wealth and rob people's daughters. The people have long been disgusted with him. Yes, it's just that they dare not speak out.

He wanted to use his meritorious service to pull you down, Empress, and ascend the throne himself, so he took advantage of Aunt Mengzhi's relationship to keep an eye on you all the time. "
