Chapter 164 All the hard work comes with joy
After all the hardships, there is happiness ahead. Xie Lingxiao finally suppressed his impulse and did not continue.
He lay beside Shen Jingxuan, trying to calm the desires in his heart and holding his beloved tightly in his arms.
Shen Jingxuan lay in Xie Lingxiao's arms, smelling his scent, feeling extremely satisfied.
After a long silence, Xie Lingxiao asked worriedly, "Xuan'er, what happened when you entered the palace?"
So much time has passed, and when he looks at Shen Jingxuan, he will think of the scene in front of the palace gate, which makes his heart tighten and feel uncomfortable.
Shen Jingxuan leaned into his arms and said, "Ah Xiao, if it happened more than ten years ago, wouldn't it be impossible to find out?"
So much time has passed, it's probably difficult to know the truth of what happened back then.
She couldn't go back and ask her mother. Given her father's love for her mother, he would definitely not tell her about such a terrible thing.
Her grandparents might know something, but they were old and she didn't want them to know yet.
Xie Lingxiao gently stroked Shen Jingxuan's back: "As long as it happens, there will be traces."
"What does Xuan'er want to find out? I'll let Ling Feng check it out."
When he heard Shen Jingxuan's words, he guessed that this matter must be related to her father.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
As Shen Jingxuan changed, their feelings for each other improved a lot. They no longer had so many concerns, but instead cherished the person in front of them even more.
Shen Jingxuan knew that Xie Lingxiao didn't want her to work too hard, but how could she bear to make him worry about everything.
She gently stroked Xie Lingxiao's chest: "Ah Xiao, I suspect that the queen and my father had a dispute in the past."
"I want to find out what happened to them back then."
Shen Jingxuan told the truth about what happened in the palace.
To Shen Jingxuan's surprise, Xie Lingxiao was not only not surprised, but was unusually calm.
Xie Lingxiao tried hard to recall what he remembered, after all, he was much older than Shen Jingxuan.
There are some things that he may not care about at first, but if it is a big deal, he knows it by heart.
Xie Lingxiao searched all his memories, but still could not find what happened between Shen Jianan and the Queen.
"Xuan'er, I don't remember any connection between them. Let Lingfeng check it out tomorrow." Xie Lingxiao said.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes suddenly widened: "You don't remember? Were you there at that time?"
For a moment, she actually forgot that Xie Lingxiao was ten years older than her and had ten years more memory than her.
Xie Lingxiao suddenly turned sideways and didn't look at Shen Jingxuan. Age seemed to have become a scar in his heart that could not be touched.
In the past, he didn't care, but ever since he knew his feelings for Shen Jingxuan, Xie Lingxiao gets angry every time he thinks of age.
He was afraid that he would grow old while Shen Jingxuan would still be young and be remembered by others.
Shen Jingxuan didn't understand why Xie Lingxiao suddenly ignored her.
After thinking clearly about the reason, Shen Jingxuan snuggled in his arms and laughed out loud.
When she had laughed enough, she held Xie Lingxiao's face back and said, "Let the people from the Scarlet Flame Temple investigate together with Lingfeng."
There is strength in numbers. I think we will have the answer soon.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly remembered the Queen's letter, and she asked, "Ah Xiao, the Queen has had contact with the Marquis of Anguo, was the Queen also the one who asked her to do the military camp work?"
The two men had already determined that it was Marquis Anguo who did it. To dare to poison in the military camp, the person behind it must be no simple person.
Xie Lingxiao sneered: "She doesn't have that ability, it was arranged by the emperor."
His good brother, the emperor, tried every possible means to regain the military power, but he did not expect that this time he would use hundreds of thousands of soldiers to set up the trap.
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Your Majesty? Why would he do this?"
The existence of soldiers is to protect the Beiling Kingdom. Only when the soldiers continue to grow stronger can they deter other countries and prevent them from being invaded by other countries.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't understand why the emperor poisoned tens of thousands of soldiers.
Even if he could slowly recover, the amount of gold, silver and medicinal materials lost would be considerable.
For a country, it is a huge loss, not to mention serious damage.
Xie Lingxiao said helplessly: "He has always wanted to take back the military power. He has tried every possible means over the years. Is there anything he can't do?"
"Now this is nothing more than trying to make me hand over my military power."
He knew the emperor too well. He had been keeping silent for so many years just because he didn't want to fall out with him.
Now that he is no longer alone, he will definitely not let the emperor do anything bad.
What's more, they have a huge grudge and will not let him go easily no matter what.
"Axiao, if you hand over your military power, you will be in danger, right?" Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly.
If you hold the military power, the emperor will be a little cautious. If you hand it over, the emperor will definitely have no scruples.
Xie Lingxiao lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Don't worry, I won't take risks with your safety or mine."
"Okay, I'm not worried as long as Axiao is here." Shen Jingxuan said with a smile.
Looking at Shen Jingxuan's smile, Xie Lingxiao couldn't help but kiss her forehead and hugged her tightly.
It's time for him to live for himself. He has left everything alone for these years and was only focused on finding out the cause of his mother's death.
Now that I know who my enemy is and that I have someone I love, I will never give anyone the chance to harm me or the people around me.
Xie Lingxiao asked in a muffled voice: "Xuan'er, what are your plans for the Queen's matter?"
"If the information Ling Feng found out is as I thought, then I will do whatever it takes to make her pay the price." Shen Jingxuan gritted her teeth.
"Ah Xiao, I will have the people in the palace prepared. Everything will be decided after Ling Feng finishes his investigation."
Even if she cannot take revenge in a short period of time, she can prepare in advance, and when the time is right, she will avenge her father.
The two stopped talking. In the quiet room, they hugged each other tightly. For a moment, the only sound left was the faint breathing sounds.
There was a knock on the door. Xie Lingxiao tucked the quilt in for Shen Jingxuan and got up from the bed.
"Come in." Xie Lingxiao sat on the chair and looked towards the door.
Ling Feng came to the room and saw that Shen Jingxuan had woken up. He nodded at her and said, "Master, do you need to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to inform them?"
It was getting late, and if Shen Jingxuan didn't return home for a long time, the people in the mansion would definitely be worried.
Ling Feng was afraid that Xie Lingxiao might not be able to think carefully because of Shen Jingxuan's coma, so he deliberately reminded her.
Xie Lingxiao hesitated for a moment: "Go and let them know. I'll send her back later."
He didn't want to send Shen Jingxuan back and wanted to be with her all the time.
But now that things are like this, Shen Jingxuan’s reputation cannot be affected because of him.
It seems that some things need to be done faster, otherwise he will never be able to marry the girl of his dreams.
After hearing this, Ling Feng continued, "Yes, then let Ling Huan go back and let him know."
"Master, the interrogation at the military camp has yielded results. What should we do?"
Xie Lingxiao's dark eyes flickered slightly: "Confessed? But is it the Marquis of Anguo?"
Although he knew it in his heart, he needed more actual evidence.
As long as those people tell him who is behind it, he can do what comes next.
"No, they said it was He Jun who ordered it." Ling Feng said.
When Shen Jingxuan heard the name, she was furious and asked, "Him? Why is he in contact with people from the military camp?"
People in the military camp usually don't leave the camp, so how did He Jun do it? And he was able to use more than a dozen people at once.
