Old Fifteen had a stern expression on his face as he looked at Old Eighth in dissatisfaction.

"Eighth brother, it's not like I'd say it if it were anyone else!" You startled me. Let me tell you, you are better than third brother and third Sister-in-Law, I am better than third brother, don't worry about me! "

"Lu Li, actually, your eighth brother is right." Qin Nuo said with a smile. Third Brother will always be Third Brother, but third Sister-in-Law may not always be third Sister-in-Law.

Seeing Qin Nuo's face flash with a shadow, Ol 'Eight continued.

"However, this matter of the third Sister-in-Law should not have anything to do with the Eleventh Uncle, and it might not even be related to second brother. Although fifth brother supports second brother on the surface, he does have his own plans. "

"Since you were born in a royal family, do you really have to fight over me? Do you want me to fight to the death with you?" Qin Nuo sighed.

She simply did not believe that Ling Luo was the culprit who poisoned Ling Zhongchi. She knew that she couldn't convince Ol 'Eight at all, let alone Ling Yexuan. However, she believed in her own judgement. She believed that, to be able to have such pure eyes, Ling Luo definitely wasn't a cruel and merciless person!

Only, eighth brother's words made her understand why Ling Yexuan was so angry that day. Disorder due to concern was one of them. The other reason was that in Ling Yexuan's heart, Ling Luo was his greatest rival.

"Ha ha!" "Old Fifteen's complacent laughter interrupted Qin Nuo's deep thoughts. third Sister-in-Law is the smartest, with just a few words, she could make eighth brother say anything! "

"Go!" "Ol 'Eight looked at Ol' Fifteen with disdain." I'm just being nice to Third Brother, not third Sister-in-Law. If I don't tell you, and that third Sister-in-Law doesn't like me in the future, what should I do? "

"Since you all are acting like this, then I will be frank!" There's one more thing I want to ask you. If you know about it, just tell me. Qin Nuo pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

"third Sister-in-Law, feel free to ask. As long as you want to know, even if I don't know, I will ask around. " Old Fifteen immediately followed up with a solemn oath.

Ol 'Eight slightly frowned her eyebrows at Qin Nuo. Her intuition told her that the next question third Sister-in-Law would ask her was what she really wanted to ask.

"Do you know where my cousin went?" Qin Nuo asked as he looked back and forth between Eighth and Fifteenth.

"This... I really don't know! " Disappointment appeared on the face of Old Fifteen. "Originally, I wanted to show off in front of the third Sister-in-Law, but I don't have the chance." Eighth brother must know that if he says he doesn't know, he's just lying to you! "

Qin Nuo's gaze fell on the eighth brother's face and only smiled without saying a word.

Ol 'Eight sighed helplessly.

"That Tang Mo is too reckless. According to Qin Duo, he had wandered around the streets one day and never returned back. Qin Duo found Third Brother, and wanted to ask Third Brother to help him investigate Tang Mo's whereabouts, so Third Brother … "

Eight stopped and looked at Qin Nuo hesitantly.

"He is exchanging terms with my brother. As long as I become his Chief Consort with Prime Minister Qin's adopted daughter, he will find Tang Mo for my brother." Qin Nuo replied quietly.

"Yes!" "Yes," answered Ol 'Eight. But up until now, Third Brother still had not found Tang Mo's whereabouts. It's either related to Second Brother or to the Eleventh Uncle, so there's no way we can get away. "

"That must be the Prince Jing!" Qin Nuo said with certainty. Have you ever thought that the matter of Prince Jing's poisoning is most likely something that the Prince Jing himself introduced … Cough cough, it's very likely that he poisoned it himself in order to frame and frame the Prince and Prince Qing. "

The fifth brother, Ling Zheng, was the eldest son of Imperial Concubine Su. Like the sixth son, Ling Qihuai, they both had just been conferred the title of a branch family.

"How could that be?" "The eighth brother said in surprise." royal father has captured the person who poisoned him, that person is … "

Ol 'Eight's words came to an abrupt halt. He felt that he had really said too much this time.

"So that's how it is." Qin Nuo laughed. I'm relieved. As long as the Prince Mu is executed, my cousin will be released! "

"third Sister-in-Law, don't worry! Since Third Brother has promised Big Brother Qin, he will definitely keep his promise! " Old Fifteen comforted Qin Nuo with a confident look.

Qin Nuo smiled as she looked at Old Fifteen.

"Of course I'm relieved! Even if I do not believe in your third brother, I still have to believe in you! "

When Old Fifteen heard this, his little face immediately broke into a smile like a flower. Eight looked at Qin Nuo silently for a while, then stood up. She picked up Old Fifteen.

"third Sister-in-Law is tired, let's go back and visit third Sister-in-Law another day."

Old Fifteen was enraged! This eighth brother, why does he like carrying me so much!? Couldn't he just let himself out? If the little girl saw it, what would she look like?! Moreover, he didn't say that he would stay at third Sister-in-Law's place and disturb her rest!

Seeing the eighth brother and fifteenth brother's figures disappear in front of his eyes, Qin Nuo let out a long sigh. Indeed, she only wanted to find out about Tang Mo's whereabouts, but she didn't expect that she would actually know so much!

She had originally thought that Ling Yexuan must have used some despicable method to force his brother and the Qin family to submit. She had followed his arrangements and could only let her re-enter the Duke Palace. Unexpectedly, although his methods were not considered good, they were not that bad either! Or perhaps, it was Tang Mo's disappearance, which just so happened to allow him to avoid such a terrible situation. No matter what, he had arranged for his elder brother to recognize Prime Minister Qin as his foster father first. He had definitely thought about it long ago.

However, his brother would accept it even more if he didn't threaten him!

Furthermore, he would coax her into trusting him, making her believe him. He had a soft spot for her! I can tell from what my brother said to her. If he doesn't trust Ling Yexuan, then even if it's for his sake, brother will not be at ease handing her over to him!

What made her uneasy was not the inside story of Ling Yexuan marrying her, but — Ling Luo! He still remembered to say that he wouldn't believe that Ling Luo was the mastermind behind the poison even if he beat her to death. There must be something wrong with this matter!

"Empress, please take a rest!" Ying He walked in, and seeing Qin Nuo's exhausted face, she said softly.

Qin Nuo nodded and casually asked.

"Where is Bi Tao and Ming Liu?"

"To see the prince dismiss those girls!" Ying He's voice was already soft, but now it was even softer. What a pity the girls were! All of them could be considered to be born into respectable families, yet they were sent over like objects. Even if the Prince did not favor them, they would not be able to find a good home when they return! "

Qin Nuo looked at Ying He, and thought of what Ling Yexuan had said about how he wanted to send them away when the lass grew up. Even though Ling Yexuan had only said those words out of anger, the few girls beside her had not reached the age to cause trouble yet. But one day, they were going to get married. Even though it was not difficult to marry those who went out from the palace and the palace, who knew what kind of people they would meet in the future!

"Do you know who the prince left behind?" Qin Nuo asked as if he did not care about what Ying He said.

Ying He was currently feeling sad for her. The more she tried to persuade him, the more upset she would be, so she might as well say something else.

"Other than the three madams, Miss Xia, Miss An, Miss He, and Miss Li have all stayed behind." Ying He immediately replied. And there's also Lady Mei Yue, Lady Liu and Lady Su. "

As for who exactly was Lady Liu and Lady Su that Ying He was talking about, Qin Nuo did not really care too much about them. Just like the Ceng family.

However, they were still noticed by Ling Yexuan! Clearly, that fellow knew everything in his heart! Other than him, there was likely another important reason why he hadn't slept with the ones that he sent away today. It was that they were truly toys given to him by someone else and did not have any other purpose.

However, those who were left behind might not!

In the battle of the imperial household, it was either you die or I live. Even if Ling Yexuan was just being vicious with his words and his heart wasn't that venomous, he wouldn't let anyone who tried to kill him off!

Qin Nuo felt very tired again, lying on the brick bed, wanting to rest. For some reason, Ling Luo's pure and melancholy eyes flashed past his mind, and she instantly sat up. Because he had woken up too quickly, he felt a little dizzy.

"Empress, what's wrong?" "Ying He rushed forward to support him. Are you all right? Should we invite the imperial physician over to take a look? "

"I'm fine!" Qin Nuo smiled, but her delicate eyebrows unconsciously knitted together.

To be fair, she had only met Ling Luo once, and they did not have a very deep friendship. She was also very clear that she didn't have any feelings for Ling Luo. If one did not have any feelings for him, it would be that man who had hooked up with her mother, causing her to have the desire to protect him.

Even though Ling Yexuan had treated Ling Luo as an opponent that was even harder to deal with than Ling Zhongchi, even though Old Eight had directly told her to stay away from Ling Luo, she still could not believe that the one who had made Ling Zhongchi suffer was actually Ling Luo!

Then, who exactly wanted to frame Ling Luo?

Is it Ling Zhongchi? Did that mean that Ling Zhongchi had also smelled Ling Luo's danger?

But what had a person like that ever done to actually make the ruthless Ling Zhongchi feel threatened?

Qin Nuo's thoughts quickly turned, as she felt that Ling Zhongchi being poisoned was very familiar, as if there was a dynasty in history where he was poisoned. Right! It was the Tang Dynasty! When Li Shimin and Li Chengming fought for the throne in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengming was also poisoned, and it happened when the Li brothers were drinking wine.

The only difference was that as the Emperor, Li Yuan cared about family love, causing the matter to be left unsettled, whereas the current Emperor swore to investigate everything thoroughly!

"Although royal father knows that second and third brother are fighting in secret, he definitely won't allow us to kill each other."

Ol 'Eight's words sounded beside Qin Nuo's ears. This sentence seemed reasonable, but it was actually so contradictory. If she really didn't want the Ling Yexuan Brothers to kill each other, the Emperor could act like Li Yuan, turning a blind eye, and making small things out of nothing. But not only did the emperor investigate, he even investigated Ling Luo's background!

Qin Nuo supported her head with her hand and laid back down. She felt that she had grabbed onto something, but didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
