The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ling Xingmu was puzzled. He sent people to investigate Princess Ji Ling for several days, but still could not find anything special. He was only able to learn some general information.

Princess Ji Ling's biological father was a cousin of the emperor, a prince with little power, and her biological mother was a daughter of an ordinary official family, also with little power. As early as when Princess Ji Ling was young, the prince and the princess died of illness, leaving Princess Ji Ling alone.

According to the younger generation, Princess Ji Ling was of the same generation as the emperor's third prince Di Wang, fifth prince Ye Chuhe, seventh prince Ye Chufeng, and other princes and princesses. Ji Ling was the tenth princess, and she called those princes "brother".

But Princess Ji Ling called her aunt of the previous generation, Princess Gao Yang, "sister"! This is a rather strange point.

However, it is not difficult to interpret this title. There are few princesses in the Zhongyue royal family. Although Princess Ji Ling is not outstanding, she deserves more attention and pity because of her deceased father and mother. Therefore, as a royal princess, Ji Ling also won some attention.

Princess Gaoyang was the most flamboyant princess in the Zhongyue royal family. As a result, Princess Gaoyang and Princess Ji Ling had something in common in terms of attractiveness. Plus, they were both princesses, so Princess Ji Ling directly called Princess Gaoyang "Sister Gaoyang".

In addition, Princess Ji Ling wanted to have a good relationship with Princess Gao Yang, who was already a teenager when she was born. Therefore, Princess Ji Ling, who had not grown up and lost her parents, had to be more sweet in her words in order to survive better. She always called Princess Gao Yang "sister", which made Princess Gao Yang very happy.

However, even though Princess Ji Ling won Gao Yang's favor, her status in the Zhongyue royal family was still somewhat low because she had no support from her father and mother, and no powerful in-laws to help her.

After listening to the secret guard's report on Princess Ji Ling's basic information, Ling Xingmu asked, "What else?"

The secret guard thought for a moment and added, "Master Ling, Princess Ji Ling likes reading and writing, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"anything else?"

"My Lord, Princess Ji Ling has not yet married, and has no plans to discuss marriage."

"That's not what I want to hear." Ling Xingmu waved his hand slightly and asked again: "In the past ten years, has there been no big news about Princess Ji Ling? Even some rumors or some hot topics?"

The secret guard shook his head helplessly: "Master Ling, I haven't found anything. I'm not sure whether Princess Ji Ling is really that low-key, or whether she herself or someone else has used some means to hide her information?"

"Perhaps Princess Ji Ling is really such a low-key and introverted person." Xiao Zhao looked at his son, "Master Ling, you have also seen during the time we have been in the capital that Princess Ji Ling only stands out in matters related to Princess Ye, and is usually mediocre at other times."

They had also attended that tea party. After the party, they also learned everything that happened from the beginning to the end from the mouths of people in the capital. Princess Gaoyang always ordered Princess Ji Ling to do various trivial things for her, and at the same time as she asked her maid to take Princess Ye away maliciously, she found a reason to send Princess Ji Ling away who was concerned about Princess Ye away.

Princess Gaoyang always orders Princess Ji Ling around rudely, but Princess Ji Ling never reacts. In addition, Princess Ji Ling's outward image has always been gentle and restrained over the years, which shows that Princess Ji Ling is really a low-key and quiet princess.

What kind of secrets could happen to such a seemingly ordinary princess?

Therefore, there is no need to investigate Princess Ji Ling further.

After a while, a loud voice was heard.

"I know. I know Princess Ji Ling's temper when she's outside." Ling Xingmu said to Xiao Zhao.

He had inquired about the news in the capital and had also met Princess Ji Ling.

Although he had never talked with Princess Ji Ling, based on his insight into people over the years and now having heard Princess Ji Ling's past introduction, he could be sure that Princess Ji Ling was as gentle as she appeared to be.

But even the most silent person will eventually explode, right? Even the most silent person will eventually have a moment when his or her shining points emerge, right?

Ling Xingmu pondered for a while, but couldn't help but ask the secret guard again.

"Is it true that there is no more information?"

"Please forgive me, sir. This is what I have found." The secret guard shrank his head and replied carefully. Then, after thinking for a while, he asked tentatively, "What specific aspect do you want to know?"

After talking for so long, Ling Xingmu didn't even drink a sip of tea. He directly replied to the secret guard: "Although she is very quiet, has she really never done something particularly important? Just like Princess Ye, Princess Ye helped the Ye Palace fight against the people who attacked the Ye Palace, and shined at several banquets. She washed away her bad reputation with her intelligence and talent, and established the reputation of a miracle doctor with her good medical skills, and cured many patients who needed treatment..."

Ling Xingmu's tone became somewhat serious, and he asked earnestly - "Has Princess Ji Ling really never done anything similar to this kind of major event?"

"This..." The secret guard remembered a secret matter that the young master had always asked them to investigate secretly. He hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Sir, according to the information I have found so far, Princess Ji Ling has not done anything great. Princess Ji Ling has never had an event in the capital city that was as famous as Princess Ye."

Ling Xingmu pulled his lips and smiled, his smile was somewhat sarcastic and complicated. It turned out that he really thought too much. It seemed that the illness had not been completely cured, and his mind was full of random thoughts.

How could Princess Ji Ling be related to the secret he was investigating?

Ling Xingmu waved his hand dejectedly, signaling the secret guards to leave.

I thought the conversation would end here, but unexpectedly a new secret guard returned in a hurry.

And this secret guard also brought back a new message.

“Sir, seven years ago, no one from the Zhongyue royal family went to the south.”

"She is a little princess from a branch of the royal family. She went to the southern part of Zhongyue."

Ling Xingmu sat up immediately and asked urgently: "Where is she now?"

What little princess? Why had he never heard of a little princess since he came to the capital?

"My lord, the little princess is no longer here."

"What? What do you mean gone?" Ling Xingmu asked gritting his teeth, his face full of disbelief.

He was usually calm, but at this moment his heart was completely in turmoil.

He has a secret hidden deep in his heart, and he has always wanted to find out the truth of something...
