Dongfang Jing suddenly raised her head, her clear eyes looked at each other without fear.
Those were a pair of eyes that seemed to be clear but weathered. Murong Ao was used to this kind of young girl who didn't know much about the world, so he was immediately attracted to her.
When she mentioned "Qingshuijian", it naturally caught his heart right away!
Qingshuijian has been bloodbathed in the past few days, but it was all done secretly by him, and Murong Jie's family has no idea what happened.
"Tell me, who are you?" He cut to the chase.
Dongfang Jing glanced at Murong's collateral in-laws who were crying and suffering, and gave Murong Ao a look.
Murong Ao frowned, glared at the butler behind him, and reprimanded, "Take this group of useless things down, don't stand in front of the distinguished guests, it's a disgrace!"
"Yes!" Murong Jie was not present today, so the butler was naturally not afraid of embarrassment, and directly ordered people to drag away the dozen or so people who were poisoned and injured.
Dongfang Jing took a step forward and stared at Murong Ao, "Old Patriarch, you must have heard that Prince Ling reappeared... I might as well get straight to the point. Since I came from Qingshuijian, I am naturally a member of the former Prince! Assistant Yu Chimo ascended the throne and competed against the former prince, does the Patriarch know why Lingsun disappeared?"
Murong Ao's eyes turned cold.
Dongfang Jing went on to say, "The Lan family was afraid that the seven major clans in Lingxi would have something to do with the former prince, so they used Lingsun to force the Murong clan to submit, and ordered the other six clans to obey!"
"The old man only guessed that the disappearance of my little grandson was related to the recent actions of the Lan family, but I didn't expect that there was... a former prince in the middle!" Murong Ao frowned.
Dongfang Jing probably believed his tone, so she continued, "I know that the Patriarch's house is restless, but I'm afraid the Patriarch doesn't know... Murong Jie's family has already secretly colluded with the Lan family!"
Murong Ao is skeptical.
Dongfang Jing guessed that she had poked his sore spot, so she went on fooling around, "Otherwise, the Murong family is heavily guarded, how could the assassin rob Lingsun in full view?"
"Follow me into the study." Murong Ao's expression became more and more embarrassing.
Dongfang Jing's heart that was hanging in her throat finally sank. Although he didn't say anything, his actual actions meant that he believed her.
There are calligraphy and paintings hanging everywhere in Murong Ao's study room, most of them are wild cursive, which is no different from his personality.
"There is no one else here, so you don't have to be restrained." Murong Ao followed the temptation, "This old man suspected the Lan family because of the disappearance of his grandson, so in a rage, he sent people to surround the Lan family in the deep mountains and old forests in the west of Lingxi. Catch him all, no matter whether it is dead or alive, we must seek justice! But the crown prince ordered the reappearance of the rivers and lakes, and the court sent a lot of troops to surround the town. The old man was worried that he would offend His Majesty, so he deliberately withdrew all the troops from the foot of Mang Mountain return… "
"The old Patriarch has been deceived by others!" What Murong Ao said was almost the same as Dong Fang Jing's guess. It was precisely because of the Murong clan's withdrawal that Lanhou's soldiers were able to breathe, but Wuyou's troops were in a desperate situation!
"Blindfolded?!" Murong Ao was astonished.
Dongfang Jing laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty did not issue an order, nor did the imperial court dispatch troops. The people who surrounded the town were mobilized by Murong Jie in private! The old Patriarch should know that Murong Jie is a relative of the emperor. There are still some!"
Murong Ao froze in place.
"The old Patriarch withdrew his troops, and Lan Hou was able to breathe. First, destroy the former prince's family, and then report back to His Majesty to accuse the old Patriarch of treason. He supported Murong Jie, and made the Murong Clan change hands. The entire Lingxi is in the hands of the Lan family. hold it!"
