Chapter 185

After Ling Mu'er handed over the evidence that could bring down the Taifu to Zhou Qiyan, he calmed down a lot and began to actively cooperate with the treatment. Although he was free, he asked how he got it, Ling Muer only said that the prince sent someone to send it.

At the stage when he was seriously ill, she didn't intend to tell him about the seventh prince's despicable and threatening behavior. Firstly, it was not conducive to his treatment, and secondly, she didn't want Zhou Qiyan to hold grudges against anyone because of this incident.

After Ruidi's death, his greatest wish was to avenge the Zhou family's grievances. This wish will soon be fulfilled. If Zhou Qiyan felt that the master he was devoted to and grateful for was such a despicable villain, he would be heartbroken. must be sad. Such a gentle big brother shouldn't be burdened anymore.

On the third day of Zhou Qiyan's poisoning, Ling Mu'er finally researched the antidote that could cure the strange poison in his body. It was also on this night that Su Ce returned with great news after retreating from court.

"The emperor really ordered to reverse the case for the Zhou family?"

Zhou Qiyan, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have forgotten that his left leg was broken by someone picking out his hamstring, and he accidentally fell down and hurt his leg when he was in a hurry, but this did not destroy his morale, but he refused Ling Muer's support , limping towards Su Ce.

"What the little county king said just now is all true, did you lie to me?"

"Tell me, why did I lie to you?" Su Ce looked arrogant, "After the king of this county presented the evidence of Taifu's crime to the emperor, the emperor was furious and ordered people to investigate immediately. In addition, the seventh prince came forward to testify. Fu has been deprived of his official position and taken to prison."

Seeing that the excitement on Zhou Qiyan's face disappeared little by little, Su Ce continued to add, "Don't worry, since the emperor ordered to overturn the Zhou family's case, after the truth of this matter comes to light, the Taifu will not just be locked in the prison."

Zhou Qiyan looked at him nervously, "Then who is in charge of this case?"

Su Ce held his head high, looking more and more like a proud peacock, "The king of this county."

'Plop' Zhou Qiyan knelt heavily on the ground. At first Ling Muer fell because of his unsteady center of gravity, but Zhou Qiyan slammed Su Ce's third brother on the head, "Zhou Qiyan thanked the little county king for saving his life!"

Word by word, categorical, and even the bandaged wound opened again, but he still thanked him sincerely.

"The person you want to thank is not me. If Miss Ling hadn't rejuvenated, you would have played chess with Lord Yan long ago."

Su Ce pointed at Ling Mu'er with his chin, indicating that he should turn around, "As for overturning the case for you, if the Seventh Prince hadn't tried his best to testify that he killed relatives righteously, that criminal evidence alone would not be enough for the emperor to make up his mind. But once you recover from your injury and leave my county palace, I don't want the Seventh Prince to misunderstand that I stole his people."

Hearing the news of the Seventh Prince's testimony twice, Ling Muer frowned, "Seventh Prince? He's not the son-in-law of the Grand Tutor, how could he?"

Su Ce didn't speak, but Zhou Qiyan slowly explained: "The Seventh Prince promised me that once he had evidence, he would do his best to help me. He has always kept his word."

Looking at Ling Mu'er again, Zhou Qiyan's eyes were more grateful than the pampering in the past, "Mu'er, thank you for saving your life. I, Zhou Qiyan, knew you. It was a blessing from my previous life. There is a sea of ​​fire under the mountain, and I will not hesitate."

If he knelt down again, he would have to stay in bed for another half a month after finally recovering his body.

Ling Mu'er quickly helped him up, "What did Brother Zhou say? I have always regarded you as my elder brother. Your affairs are my affairs. You can finally avenge your family. Muer is really happy for you."

Su Ce went to the study first under the pretext of carefully investigating the case, and took Ling Mu'er away before leaving.

"Tell me, what deal did you make with the Seventh Prince to make him spend such a large sum of money and hand over the evidence of his crime to you?"

Su Ce is a smart person, Zhou Qiyan, who is seriously ill, can't see the clue, but he can't hide it from him.

"Since you know everything, why bother to ask, how can you not see anything in court today?"

Su Ce frowned, but soon relaxed it again.

Indeed, when he went to court today, he saw Ling Zixuan standing in the Seventh Prince's camp, and because he only had a glimpse, he thought he had recognized the wrong person. Now think about it carefully, if Ling Mu'er hadn't been there to help, how could it be possible for Ling Zixuan's character to follow the domineering Seventh Prince.

"If I didn't know your feelings for Shangguan Shaochen, I would have doubted Zhou Qiyan that you fell in love with now." Su Ce joked.

Ling Mu'er glared at him viciously, "Talk nonsense again, be careful that I will hoarse your voice!"

Su Ce smiled dotingly and said, "Is it really worth it for the Ling family to make such a big sacrifice for a Zhou Qiyan? You didn't see the Sixth Prince getting angry today, and you can't wait to eat Ling Zixuan alive. "

Ling Muer, who had just finished laughing, fell into worry, "Will the sixth prince really deal with my brother? Is my brother in danger?"

"Now you think that Ling Zixuan is in danger? When you rescued Zhou Qiyan, you ran out before dawn." Su Ce folded his arms and looked her in the eye. "But I'm curious about one thing. How did you not know how to run so fast?"

Of course, Ling Mu'er didn't say that she hid in the space, but it wasn't because she was afraid that Su Ce would catch up and affect her plan.

"I will definitely repay people who are kind to me tenfold. This is the purpose of making friends with me, Ling Muer. Not to mention Zhou Qiyan, even if the little county king encounters such difficulties, I will do my best." Ling Muer Said from the heart.

Thinking of the Seventh Prince, she hurriedly turned around, "The Seventh Prince took that criminal evidence as a threat, I thought he wouldn't help, what's going on?"

Su Ce knew she would ask that.

"The Seventh Prince is a thoughtful person, and many things have long been under his control. Although I don't know when he got the evidence, even if Ling Zixuan didn't exist, he would have given it to the emperor to get rid of it." It’s just that the two things are mixed together, and he uses them dexterously.”

Hearing Su Ce's explanation, Ling Mu'er suddenly realized, no wonder the Seventh Prince said on the day her brother got married that he had already planned for everything.

The Seventh Prince has been secretly fighting for the crown prince position, and he has always had Sheng'er in his heart. It is impossible for him to keep Sheng'er by his side forever, so the first person to solve is the Seventh Prince's concubine's natal family.

With the downfall of the Tai Tuo, the Seventh Prince and Concubine will have no strong backing. After he successfully ascends the throne in the future, he will be able to canonize Sheng'er as a concubine. At that time, even if the Seventh Prince and Concubine continues to quarrel and have no support, she will be alone and helpless.

In addition to the matter of Ling Zixuan this time, the Seventh Prince guessed that it would not be beneficial for her to persuade her brother. He also knew that she and Zhou Qiyan were stock friends, so he presented the evidence of the crime in advance and made a favor.

It seems that she wronged the Seventh Prince. Although he is despicable, he is not a villain, otherwise he would not help secretly.

"Can the Zhou family's case really be overturned?"

Su Ce shrugged, "Others may not be able to, but I, Su Ce, can."

Ling Muer gave him a look of 'just brag'. Just now I was still wondering why he cared so much about Zhou Qiyan's smile a few times.

"The Zhou family was framed for poisoning the emperor. With the evidence of the Seventh Prince, it can be proved that the Taifu did it. Murdering the emperor is a serious crime that will destroy the nine families. As long as you get the Taifu's own handwriting, you will be free." But he succeeded in redressing Zhou's family. What do you think of Taifu's final fate?"

"But if the Taifu admits it, the whole family will be hurt. If he doesn't admit it, he will stay in prison for the rest of his life, and the Zhou family will never be able to reverse the case."

Su Ce glanced at her appreciatively. If possible, he really wanted to pry open her brain and take a good look at what was inside, how she was so smart.

Ling Mu'er is a woman and she hates the court, otherwise she would be a high-ranking official if she entered the palace.

"You are the only one in the entire capital who doesn't know the methods of the king of this county."

After mysteriously dropping a sentence, Su Ce went back to the chair in the study and sat down. He seemed to be looking up information, and he seemed to be planning something. Ling Mu'er wanted to ask for clarification, but couldn't bear to disturb her, so she had to leave the room silently, waiting for his good news.

About seven days later, Su Ce successfully obtained the Taifu's letter of confession. The emperor was furious and ordered to behead the next day at the Meridian Gate. On the day the Taifu was beheaded, the emperor ordered to reverse the case for the Zhou family. It was also from that day that Zhou Qiyan finally regained his former identity. It turned out that he was actually the noble son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

I still remember the first time I saw Zhou Qiyan, he was so seriously injured that he was worse than a beggar, and later I heard that he took his younger brother to hide in Tibet for three years.

He is obviously a noble son, but he is living a miserable life of fleeing, and now the situation is finally bright, but he will never know the secret of her transaction with the Seventh Prince.

"Congratulations to Big Brother Zhou for finally being able to achieve his wish and regain his former identity."

Ling Mu'er has been feeling unwell recently, so she substituted tea for wine.

Although Zhou Qiyan's body was mostly healed after Ling Mu'er's conditioning, his leg injury was the root cause of the disease, and he would shake a few times every time he got up.

He looked at the people present and respected them one by one, "Thank you Seventh Prince, Xie Xiaojun Wang, and thank you Mu'er. If it weren't for your help, my Zhou family's injustice would not have been announced to the world. Zhou Qiyan's fate will be in the future." If you have any request, I will say nothing."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Ling Muer's obstruction, he insisted on drinking a glass of strong wine.

Ling Muer is a person who values ​​affection, but Su Ce raised his glass for Ling Muer's sake and didn't care. Only the Seventh Prince shook his head, "When you were asked to be loyal to me, this is One of the conditions I agreed to you is that the time limit for you and my master and servant also depends on the end of this case, and now you leave or stay, this prince will not interfere, "

Hearing this, Ling Muer looked at the Seventh Prince in disbelief. It turned out that this promise was still there when they traded, so it seems that she really wronged the Seventh Prince. He could completely keep hiding the evidence of the crime, so that Zhou Qiyan could serve him unconditionally for the rest of his life.

"As long as the Seventh Prince doesn't dislike me for a day, I will not leave for a day. The prince has helped me a lot and is my lifelong benefactor. Zhou Qiyan will rely on the Seventh Prince to make decisions from now on."

"Okay, since you have this determination, I will definitely not treat you badly after I fulfill my wish." The Seventh Prince gave Zhou Qiyan a wink after laughing heartily, signaling him to take a step to speak.

Under the locust tree in the yard, the Seventh Prince pointed to Ling Muer who was not far ahead, "Like her?"
