After meeting my deceased wife, I became the male lead's rival in love
Chapter 75 Suspended Death
Xiao Cheng's carriage and horses were parked outside Liu County, which was the most inconspicuous county town near the capital, and one day Ling Qiu would be able to meet him there.
"Miss, the prime minister on the right has sent someone to look for you."
The man in black described everything he saw during his investigation.
"The right minister's minions have already checked the nearest place to the capital, and they will arrive in Liu County soon. Miss, should we hurry out of the county today?"
Living in the inn, Lingqiu, who was finally able to rest for a while, shook her head.
With blurred vision, she fumbled to wipe the box in her arms, which contained the small gift Fang Ziyue gave her.
She could bear to have her clothes dirty along the way, but she didn't allow the suitcase to get dirty.
"How about the corpse you prepared?"
Before leaving the capital, Ling Qiu sent people to find a death row prisoner who was about the same size as her.
"Already prepared."
The death row prisoner killed his own sister because of Qian Cai's design, and strangled her sister's child to occupy her family's property.
Even relying on his brother-in-law who has been doing business abroad for many years and never comes back, he replaced her sister's name and spent the man's money recklessly.
She didn't expect that the businessman came back suddenly and found that his wife and children had been killed. In a rage, he sent silver taels to the county magistrate.
He didn't want this poisonous woman to die immediately, he wanted her to suffer in prison.
When they went, the woman, desperate for relief, quickly agreed to offer them her body.
Now the corpse with the skin destroyed is parked in a ditch outside Liu County.
"Going to let people spread the news, it is said that bandits robbed and killed a woman a while ago, and found a lot of good things from her. The body was thrown into the wilderness, and I don't know if there is any missing silver on her. "
Lingqiu closed her eyes, feeling extremely tired and wanting to rest for a while.
The man standing on the side took his orders, didn't stay any longer, and quietly left to do things.
"It's said that women are careful, and it's impossible to hide the silver too clearly. If you find her body, maybe you can catch it?"
In the streets and alleys, "careful people" gather in twos and threes and whisper.
"I heard that the clothes on that woman's body are all embroidered with gold thread. Not to mention the jewelry and silver taels, the clothes are worth a lot of money."
"Golden thread? You are exaggerating. I have accurate information that the woman is wearing a white body, and the orchid pattern embroidered on the dress is silver thread."
"Even so, it's worth the money!"
The man who lowered his head and whispered did not realize that the partition wall has ears.
Someone listened to their words.
"Do you know where the body is? If you want to find it, you have to go there quickly, or those stinky beggars will definitely take advantage of it."
Don't underestimate those beggars, they are very well informed.
"Yes, I got the news from a little beggar with a steamed bun. I heard that it was by the Liu River on the east side of the city. The girl was chased and jumped into the river, but was dragged out by bandits. "
"And...you know, anyway, it was because of her resistance that she was scratched by the bandit's second boss, and the angry bandits chopped her face into pieces."
"Speaking of flowers, didn't it mean that someone saw the plum pattern on the woman's neck?"
"Who did you hear? How did he know? Could it be that they had already found the body? Then do we still have a chance?"
"……Yup!"
No longer listening to the annoyance of the two, the man in black clothes waved and led them to Liuhe.
Thirty people quickly found the woman's body in the dry ditch beside the Liu River.
The leading man is wearing a mask, and the eagle pattern of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is embroidered on the corner of his clothes.
He opened the woman's body, and there was a red plum blossom birthmark on the rotten and swollen nape of the neck.
The man had the body carried away.
"It's a good life for her to die now."
The man's disdainful words dissipated in the wind, and the figure hiding in the distance and watching quietly disappeared after they left.
"Miss, they took the body away."
The man's voice brought Lingqiu, who was resting by the window, back to her senses.
The weather today is fine, the sun is warm and the wind is blowing warm.
Lingqiu had a dream in a daze in this wind, dreaming that the little princess who was far away from the border town had returned.
The little princess in a strong outfit was arranged by Sui'an Hou to return to the capital, saying that he wanted to wipe out the right minister who bullied the king.
Ling Qiu rubbed her forehead, feeling that she was probably in a daze.
In the dream and outside the dream, I want the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to collapse overnight.
"Let's go too." The woman in light blue picked up the small wooden box and left her leaning against the window for a long time.
Although Liucheng is nice, picturesque and full of spring, it is not her home after all.
Her home is in the place where her mother was born, in Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, where her family business is located.
Lingqiu suddenly thought of something, stopped in his footsteps, and tightened his hands holding the box.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
The man noticed Ling Qiu's strange behavior, turned around and asked, "But what's left behind?"
"No." Ling Qiu shook his head, and walked forward again.
She just suddenly thought, if she settles in Jiangnan, what will the little princess do?
Fang Ziyue Xiwu is destined to be a general in the battlefield, to be a general who protects the family and the country, not an ordinary merchant living in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River with her.
What's more, the Marquis of Sui'an's mansion is in the capital, so in the future Fang Ziyue will be given a mansion in the capital when he becomes a famous general.
She didn't want to go to the capital, Fang Ziyue didn't have time to come to Jiangnan.
The two of them...
Lingqiu shook his head, no, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, let's think about these things later.
What she is most concerned about now is whether the letter has reached the border town.
I don't know what kind of expression the little princess should have when she reads her letter?
Surprised, pleased, or angry?
Angry at myself for not telling her sooner.
Lingqiu's pursed lips slightly curved into a smile.
She really wanted to hear the little princess talk about her feelings in person.
……
Three days later, the spies who rushed back to the capital from Liucheng returned to Youxiang's Mansion with their stinking corpses.
Before Ling Qiu was alive, Prime Minister didn't like her strict daughter.After she died, with the smell of corpse all over her body, the Prime Minister shouted with a dark face, "Throw it out!"
Throw it in the wilderness, throw it in a mass grave, you can throw it anywhere, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the right minister's mansion and don't care where she throws it.
When the servants heard the words, they quickly carried the body away.
When passing by Lingyuexiang who covered her mouth and nose with a face full of disgust, she still held back her nausea and looked at it with elation.
The plum blossom birthmark on the swollen and rancid corpse was indeed her "sister" who claimed to be cold.
Ling Yuexiang couldn't help laughing.
No matter how dignified and graceful Lingqiu was when she was alive, it didn't matter how dirty she was, without even a trace of decency?
After the people dispersed, Ling Yuexiang returned to her Pianzhuang and immediately invited the opera troupe to sing for a day and a night.
"Oh my good sister, you died well~"
The drunken Ling Yuexiang groped into Lingqiu's original yard, propped herself up on the table and looked at the copybooks hanging on the wall.
A "quiet" word.
"Heh, don't you like...you like being quiet? Then you just, just be quiet forever, hahaha..."
Ling Yuexiang laughed like a lunatic while drinking wine.
Because of her good sister, she became a concubine.
If it weren't for Ling Qiu and her lucky mother, she, Ling Yuexiang, should be the prostitute!He should be the one who can match any man!
There is a person in Ling Yuexiang's heart, a person she will never forget once she sees her.
That year, she followed her mother to the temple to offer incense, and saw a handsome man in Tsing Yi.
She was so dazed that she accidentally sprained her right foot and bumped into that person.
The man helped her up in time, and asked her considerately, "Girl, are you okay?"
It's a pity that she was forced by her mother to put on a veil that day, so she didn't let that person remember her.
But Ling Yuexiang remembered the four-clawed dragon pendant on the man's body, and after she went to inquire about it, she found out that the jade pendant had just been bestowed to the First Prince.
She only thought about the eldest prince, but she happened to be a concubine.
A concubine who can't get on the stage!
Ling Yuexiang frowned, and suddenly stood up and tore off the copybook on the wall.
"Damn! You really deserve to die! Even if you die ten thousand times, it's not enough!"
Ling Yuexiang had a ferocious face and cursed loudly.
It's a pity that even if Lingqiu died, she was still a concubine.
Why would a dead person occupy the position of the prostitute? !
Ling Yuexiang yelled frantically, uncontrollably smashing things in Lingqiu's house.
The mother-in-law who followed was afraid that Ling Yuexiang would get mad again if she got excited, so she hurriedly dissuaded her: "Miss, you are wrong, you are now the daughter-in-law."
"The second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has gone to the palace to be a show girl, and the first daughter loves to go out after her eyes are healed by a famous doctor."
"That's right... yes... I'm the prostitute..." Ling Yuexiang who stopped suddenly repeated these words.
She suddenly laughed, imitating Ling Qiu's dignity, flicking the dust off her body with a flick of her sleeves, and said softly: "Why did I forget, luckily you reminded me."
As she spoke, she supported her mother-in-law's arm and staggered out.
From a distance, she can be heard saying: "Remember that you have meritorious service, and go to the housekeeper to receive the reward later."
Her mother is the late wife of the Xiangfu, she is the first daughter of the Xiangfu, and her adoptive mother is now the second wife of the Xiangfu.
She is the noble daughter in this prime minister's mansion, what kind of man is she not worthy of?
Her father will definitely be able to bring down the sick old emperor, and then she will be able to beg him to give the eldest prince a crown prince.
She will be the crown princess in the future, and no one can deny it.
She didn't know that she thought the plan was perfect, but the eldest prince she had been thinking of found out the clues.
"You mean that person is the second lady of Xiangfu?" Yun Zinian narrowed his eyes.
A while ago, the name of the second lady of the Xiangfu appeared on the draft list, so this woman is quite courageous, and she dared to do something to deceive the king.
"She originally wanted to find her daughter-in-law Lingqiu to enter the palace for her, but she didn't expect that Lingqiu escaped from the capital overnight but was robbed and killed in Liucheng."
"Escaped?" Yun Zinian was stunned when he heard the words of the dark guard.
He turned around abruptly, lowered his head and asked impatiently, "Does that woman named Lingqiu have a plum blossom birthmark on the back of her neck?"
The hidden guard was taken aback by his sudden abnormality, but according to his investigation, "It's not."
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the concubine's daughter had no birthmark, only Ling Yuexiang had it.
Yun Zinian relaxed his tense body when he heard the words, and murmured: "That's good, that's good."
"Your Highness, there is one more thing. Now that Ling Yuexiang has replaced the identity of the prostitute."
Yun Zinian nodded, and he smiled: "It's exactly what I want."
He thought of the fair neck that tempted him to kiss it, and the waist that was tightly grasped.
What unbreakable order?As long as he becomes the emperor and marries her as the queen, who can find out that she sent someone to enter the palace to be a beautiful girl for her?
Yun Zinian, who was originally ambitious, was even more excited at this moment, and ordered the secret guard: "Invite the right minister to the Green Pavilion, I have something to discuss with him."
He knew that Prime Minister Right wanted to usurp the throne, but it's just that a person with a different surname did not have a good reputation for usurping the throne, so with his ability, he might not be able to do so.
But if he is pushed to the throne, it is justifiable for him to succeed to the throne as the First Prince.Moreover, he can also seal the right minister as a relative of the emperor, giving him endless glory, wealth and a lot of rights.
Isn't that the best of both worlds?
"Miss, the prime minister on the right has sent someone to look for you."
The man in black described everything he saw during his investigation.
"The right minister's minions have already checked the nearest place to the capital, and they will arrive in Liu County soon. Miss, should we hurry out of the county today?"
Living in the inn, Lingqiu, who was finally able to rest for a while, shook her head.
