Chapter 294: Bad News
Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing raised her eyes and looked at Shangguan Mo, and a strange look flashed across her water eyes. Although this man always likes to argue with her on weekdays, she feels like a steady and solid pillar that can be relied on at critical moments.
"Thank you." After staring at the man's deep pupils for a while, the woman's cold voice slowly escaped.
An unnatural look flashed in Shangguan Mo's eyes, and Leng Yi's thin lips suddenly raised slightly, and his tone returned to his previous coldness: "Don't forget your current identity. In addition to Princess Pingnan, he is also the palace master of Qinglong Palace. Even for those brothers who are still willing to follow you, you must become stronger. There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome. Time can dilute everything..."
The man's cold voice and solemn and serious expression all made people feel the deep meaning. The eyes stared quietly, and no one spoke again. Until the man slowly turned his eyes to Feng Ling not far away, the tension in the air was resolved. Shangguan Mo Ning looked at Feng Ling and suddenly changed his words: "The owner of another piece of ice jade has been found. It is said that the identity of the owner of these two pieces of ice jade is closely related..."
Hearing this, Feng Lingshui's eyes were slightly stunned. Before he could fully recover from the tense atmosphere that had just been solidified, the sudden news from the man immediately woke her up, eagerly approaching the man, and couldn't wait to speak out: "Brother Shangguan, have you found any new news? You said that the owner of another piece of ice jade... what does he have to do with me?"
"It is not clear what your relationship is with the owner of another piece of ice jade, but one thing is certain, the owner of that piece of ice jade... is actually not unfamiliar with you!" Shangguan Mo's mellow and low voice exuded a profound and profound meaning.
As soon as he said that, Feng Ling was shocked. Even Huangfu Yuqing's water eyes flashed with a strange color. He didn't understand what medicine was sold in Shangguan Mo's gourd, and he was even more curious about who the owner of the other piece of ice jade was.
"Who is it?" Feng Ling blurted out, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. Shangguan Mo's deep and dark eyes made her feel very uneasy. With the woman's sixth sense, she always felt that something was about to happen.
"It's the Deputy General Ji next to King Pingnan!" Shangguan Mo said lightly, his tone was calm, but his sharp eyes stared at Feng Ling's face without a moment of change.
"What? Brother Ji, do you say another piece of ice jade is in Brother Ji's hands?" Feng Ling exclaimed, her beautiful eyebrows frowned tightly, and the surprised expression in her water eyes was obvious. Perhaps any name was spit out from Shangguan Mo's mouth, she would not have such a strong reaction. She never thought that the person would be Ji Lu, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something in an instant.
"It's true that another piece of ice jade is in his hands. You also know that my original purpose of coming to Jiangbei this time was for this..." Shangguan Mo's faint tone was calm. Compared to his calmness, Feng Ling's emotions seemed much more excited.
At this moment, Feng Ling's water eyes widened, and Huangfu Yuqing's brows couldn't help but frown tightly, because something suddenly came to her mind. I remember that when she was in Ning'an, the girl Feng Ling had told her about some things about Ji Lu, and actually mentioned that he had a sister who had been separated for many years, and the only connection between the two was just a jade pendant.
Now Shangguan Mo's words undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble in the hearts of the two women. If Ji Lu was really Feng Ling's brother, it would mean that the relationship between the two men would be rewritten, and it would never be possible for brothers and sisters to become husband and wife.
Huangfu Yuqing frowned, looked Shangguan Mo deeply, and said in a low voice: "Shangguan Mo, is it possible that you made a mistake?"
Shangguan Mo's face darkened, and he replied in a low voice: "Do you think I, Shangguan Mo, will make such a low-level mistake? Another piece of ice jade is indeed in Ji Lu's hands, but what is the relationship between him and Feng Ling? This has not been found yet..."
"No need to continue to check it down, Brother Shangguan. This jade pendant... is for you. This is our previous agreement. I did not break the agreement. This matter ends here." Feng Ling suddenly spoke out. His originally excited little face has calmed down now than before. It is not difficult to see the woman's still complicated inner emotions in the flashing ripples in the depths of her water eyes.
Huangfu Yuqing glanced at Feng Ling with her eyes facing her. She could understand the girl's mood at this moment. Shangguan Mo was slightly stunned at first. Perhaps he didn't expect that when the matter was about to end, Feng Ling would suddenly stop.
"Are you sure?" The man's mellow and hoarse voice emanated from a low voice, and his deep eyes looked at him with suspicion. He could see that Feng Ling's expression was a little wrong. Is there really something unknown behind these two jade pendants? However, he was used to respecting the employer's decision. As long as the silver is clear, he can meet the other party's request.
"Confirm." Feng Ling said coldly, and suddenly he seemed a little listless. Shui Ning glanced out the window.
Huangfu Yuqing showed a look and asked Shangguan Mo to leave for the time being. The man nodded, and the tall and long figure quickly disappeared outside the door. The woman's watery eyes slowly moved to Feng Ling, walked to her side, gently put on her shoulder, and said softly, "Feng Ling, maybe there is no misunderstanding here..."
"Princess, stop talking. I want to be alone now..." Feng Ling drooped his head, his eyes no longer looking at the woman's gaze. It was not difficult to see that his mood was very complicated at this moment.
"Okay, you are alone in the house. I just want to go out and have a breath of wind to wake up your mind." Huangfu Yuqing nodded. In fact, Feng Ling is not just the bad mood. Her mood has also fallen to the bottom. The two news brought by Shangguan Mo today made the two women feel extremely depressed at the same time.

Although Huangfu Yuqing had already told Li Wei to find out the dike, she and Shangguan Mo had been there several times, looking for any clues and not letting go of any clues. Huangfu Yuqing also saw the bloody stains mentioned by the man.
According to common sense, the flood breaks the dam and is considered to be in full force, and it will not cause injuries, unless... before the dam breaks, there was an unexpected fight here. If the fight really happens, the blood stains may not necessarily be from Nangong Longze. Huangfu Yuqing Yuli comforts himself in this way.
A few days have passed, and except for the scenes I have seen now, Huangfu Yuqing and Shangguan Mo have not discovered more. However, Li Wei has left Jiangbei with the woman's entrustment. Huangfu Yuqing can only place her hope on Li Wei and Ji Lu, hoping that both of them can make progress.
"Shangguan Mo, do you find out that all the craftsmen are really dead? Or... should we go to the homes of the nearby people again?" Huangfu Yuqing frowned and thought about something.
"Maybe... I should tell you some bad news first!" Shangguan Mo's deep eagle eyes stared straight into the woman's eyes, with a solemn expression, which made Huangfu Yuqing's heart, which was already hanging in her throat, almost jumped out of her throat. The first thought that the conditioned reflex in her mind was Nangong Longze.
"..." I originally wanted to ask, but my throat seemed to be stuck in my throat. Huangfu Yuqing couldn't ask a word. Her clear and clear water eyes were wide open, staring at the engraved handsome face of the man in front of me.
Shangguan Mo could not see the tension of a woman. Her current nervous reaction was all because of another man. Thinking of this, Shangguan Mo felt inexplicably nervous, swallowed his throat with difficulty, stared at the woman's watery eyes for a long time before speaking-
"It's not about him, you don't have to be nervous."
As soon as he said this, Huangfu Yuqing felt relieved from the bottom of her heart, but her tense body had not yet completely relaxed, and she tensed again: "Then what are you referring to?"
"The Li Wei who you sent back to the capital... Deputy General Li, he is dead! A brother found his body less than ten miles away from the capital." Shangguan Mo's voice was extremely calm, but the expression in his eyes could not make people feel his seriousness and solemnity.
Huangfu Yuqing was indeed shocked by the news. She never thought that Li Wei's skills would end like this. If it weren't for her... Huangfu Yuqing could not continue thinking about it.
"It's all my fault! If it weren't for me... or he wouldn't have died!" Huangfu Yuqing took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and brought the pain deep in her pupils into her heart. The self-blame in her tone was obvious.
"If it weren't for you, he would have died, because the second prince had already made up his mind not to let him continue to live..." Shangguan Mo said lightly: "So you don't have to blame yourself for this matter."
That being said, how could Huangfu Yuqing feel nothing? Just when the woman was in a low mood, Shangguan Mo's low and mellow voice came again: "There is another news..."
"Good news or bad news?" Huangfu Yuqing's cold voice seemed a little weak. When she heard the news of Li Wei's murder, she felt that her whole body was cold. On the one hand, she felt guilty and blamed herself, and on the other hand, she had to re-enact the conspiracy of how to come to Beijing to expose the second prince's conspiracy. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the burden on her body was getting heavier and heavier.
"Not good, but not bad." Shangguan Mo said lightly: "Ji Lu is returning along the river embankment. I have asked him to come here. I believe he will be there before dark..."
Hearing Ji Lu's news, Huangfu Yuqing's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stared at the man and blurted out: "Is he the only one?"
