She has waited for eighteen years, so these few short days are nothing to her.
"Yun'er, go ahead and see where your father lived."
"Thank you, mother. Yun'er will respectfully obey your command." Knowing Feng Xian'er's thoughts, Ling'er did not refuse.
"But you have to take care of your body and don't overwork yourself." Feng Xian'er stood up and gave him some advice before leaving.
"Yun'er knows. Thank you for reminding me. Don't worry, Yun'er will take good care of herself and won't let you worry."
"Well, that's good."
The drama of family affection finally came to an end. Looking at Feng Xian'er leaving, Ling'er let out a long sigh.
"Phew—I'm so tired!"
At this moment, she really admired those movie stars. Nimabo, it's easy for their faces to get cramps after acting like this every day.
Forget it, let's not talk about this. Right now, returning to the Shangguan Mansion is the top priority.
She covered her face with the veil again, stood up and walked out. Because she needed to consult Yin Feng about something, she asked Yin Feng to go with her.
Shangguan Mansion is actually the prince's mansion where Shangguan Yunxiao lives.
When conferring the title of Prince of Yunxiao, the empress wanted to give her a new mansion, but for some reason, Shangguan Yunxiao refused. She insisted on continuing to live in the Shangguan Mansion. So the empress gave her a new plaque, on which she personally inscribed the four characters "Prince Yun's Mansion".
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, it saw a commotion inside.
As Ling'er's cultivation level continued to improve, the sensitivity of her sensory organs also increased day by day, so she could hear clearly any sound within a hundred meters.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Someone come and put it out!"
"Hey, this is what's going on. How could this Wuyou Villa catch fire?"
"You idiots, what do you usually do? Don't you know that Wuyou Villa is a forbidden area? When General Shangguan was alive, he said that Wuyou Pavilion is the top priority of the entire general's mansion. If a blade of grass is missing from Wuyou Pavilion, you will all be beheaded! Now it's on fire! Just wait for your entire clan to be implicated!"
"Put out the fire, quick!"
From a distance, one could see a thick smoke surrounding the sky above Prince Yun's Palace.
Wuyou Villa
Could it be that this Wuyou Villa was the courtyard where Xia Shang lived when he was alive? If not, General Shangguan would not care so much about that courtyard.
But why did it suddenly catch fire
As soon as he got off the car, the housekeeper ran over in a hurry, knelt down in front of Ling'er with a plop, and kowtowed for mercy.
“Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me…” That look of fear didn’t seem to be pretended; it was genuine fear.
Although she knew why the housekeeper was like this, Ling'er still asked: "What's wrong, housekeeper, why are you like this?"
The housekeeper did not dare to look up. After hearing Ling'er's words, he replied with tears in his voice: "To reply to the prince, this old servant deserves to die. This old servant did not discipline the servants who were guarding the house. In a moment of carelessness, Wuyou Villa... Wuyou Villa..."
"What happened to Wuyou Villa?"
"Wuyou Villa is on fire! This old servant deserves to die, please forgive my sins, Your Majesty, please spare my life..." He knocked his head hard on the ground, and it was broken. Some blood stains were clearly visible on the floor.
If this is indeed the courtyard where Xia Shang lives, to say that this is a coincidence is a bit too much of a coincidence.
"You get up first and go to put out the fire. I will hold you accountable later." Ling'er didn't want to make things difficult for these servants.
However, this fire incident reminded her that there must be something wrong with Prince Yun's mansion.
The fire started from all the vents at the same time, and soon it became uncontrollable. Moreover, the fire was burning in a strange way, and pouring water on it was of no use at all, instead it became more and more intense.
The end result was that Wuyou Villa was burned to ashes, without even a blade of grass left.
Ling'er stood in the pitch-black Wuyou Villa, feeling very complicated.
Xia Shang had been dead for eighteen years, why were there still people paying attention to his affairs? And he took the lead and burned Wuyou Villa to ashes.
What was his purpose in stopping me from investigating Xia Shang? How did he know about the conversation between the empress and her? Could it be that they had spies not only in Prince Yun's mansion, but also in the inner court of the imperial palace
This series of questions, like surging waves, continued to sweep Ling'er's peripheral nerves. More and more problems and burdens were weighing on her.
Bai Xingchen, Shangguan Yunxiao, Feng Qingcheng, Xixue, Xia Shang, Xia Shang's beloved, the arsonist. One by one, step by step, they all seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are always linked together, constantly leading to the next problem.
Is all of this just a coincidence, or are they all connected
Suddenly, Ling'er felt so tired. If only Di Shitian was by her side, she could lean on his shoulder and rest for a while.
He reached out and rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache.
Yin Feng stood silently behind her, watching her worry and tiredness, but he could do nothing to help her.
"Yinfeng, have you ever heard of a person named Xia Shang?" The more complicated the matter is, the more she has to investigate. Otherwise, she can't always be Shangguan Yunxiao.
She always felt that as long as she found out the truth about this matter, she could leave Shangguan Yunxiao's body. Perhaps, this was destined.
When Yin Feng heard the name Xia Shang, his body was obviously startled and his pupils shrank.
Although he was very tired, his insight was beyond ordinary people, so he immediately noticed Yin Feng's abnormality.
He stopped kneading his temples instantly, tilted his head towards where Yin Feng was, and said seriously, "So many people have died, and I became Shangguan Yunxiao inexplicably. If we want to get out of this series of troubles, we must find out the ins and outs of this matter. I learned from Feng Xian'er that Shangguan Yunxiao's father is very likely the man named Xia Shang. This Wuyou Villa is where Xia Shang once lived. However, it was burned down before I arrived. So now I can only start with the name Xia Shang. If you know anything, tell me. It is not suitable for us to stay in Fengguo for too long. We need to solve these things as soon as possible and leave here. I believe you understand."
Yin Feng frowned for a long time before speaking, "Your father actually has a younger brother named Xia Shang."
Yin Feng's words surprised Ling'er deeply.
The emperor's younger brother, that is, he also has an uncle. But why in her memory, she has no impression of this uncle at all? Could it be as she guessed? Her uncle committed some unforgivable crime and was removed from the family tree!
"It all started a long time ago. At that time, your father had just ascended the throne. During another trip with your uncle, he met a very special girl named Lingxi."
Consonance...
This should be her mother. It turns out that her name is derived from the surnames of her father and mother. I think her father and mother must be very loving.
"Then what?" Ling'er was very interested when she heard the love story about her parents.
"At that time, no one would have thought that your father and your uncle would both fall in love with Lingxi, but Lingxi chose your father. Later... a lot of things happened later, and your uncle was expelled from the royal family. After that, he disappeared without a trace and his whereabouts are unknown."
Yin Feng did not specify the reason why Xia Shang was expelled from the royal family, but just mentioned it briefly.
Things like this are equivalent to royal scandals. No wonder Yin Feng is unwilling to speak out.
"Until something happened in Yunhai City, Xia Shang showed up again. But he left after a while and didn't do anything."
"Something happened in Yunhai City? What happened?"
"I can't tell you this yet. Because it has something to do with your hidden memories. You have to wait until you remember it yourself."
Hidden memories again. What exactly are her hidden memories? Why can't I tell her? Why must I let her remember them herself? When will she be able to remember them
"So, do you remember when Xia Shang returned to Yunhai City?"
Yin Feng thought for a while, then said with certainty: "Eighteen years ago."
"What did you say! Eighteen years ago?" (To be continued)
