Carrier Pigeon
After clenching his fists, he finally agreed to Song Lingyu's approach. After the two reached an agreement, Song Lingyu told him about her plan. Since it was inconvenient for Song Lingyu to stay outside, she returned to the Song Mansion first, and let the Seventh Prince go to the palace to pay respects.
Song Lingyu returned to the mansion and didn't say anything. Since the last incident, the Song family seemed to have relaxed a lot about her going out.
The next day, Huixin found a milky white pigeon in the courtyard. She originally thought of catching it to make soup for Song Lingyu, but she saw a roll of letter paper on the pigeon's foot. Huixin didn't dare to move much and hurriedly held the pigeon and ran towards Song Lingyu's room.
Song Lingyu saw the pigeon in Hui Zhen's hand and was taken aback for a moment, until she opened the letter paper and found out that this pigeon was a message carrier from the Seventh Prince's mansion. Song Lingyu ordered Hui Zhen to release the pigeon, but did not reply to the letter for safety reasons. At the same time as Hui Zhen released the pigeon, Song Lingyu also burned the letter paper and asked Zhilan to prepare the carriage.
They arrived at the Seventh Prince's mansion, and this time the guards did not stop them but instead led them directly to the main hall. This normally represented the Seventh Prince's respect, but Song Lingyu didn't have the leisure to notice it this time. As soon as they entered the main hall, Song Lingyu saw Lian Le with an unhappy face. Song Lingyu's heart sank and asked, "What happened?"
Lian Le just glanced at Song Lingyu and averted his gaze: "Yesterday, I was about to go to the Emperor's place to talk about the disaster relief plan, but I saw someone being led out by a eunuch, and he was very respectful by his side. At first, I didn't pay attention, but when I told the Emperor that I had a plan, the Emperor said that this plan was exactly the same as what that person just mentioned!"
Upon hearing Lian Le's words, even Song Lingyu, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but feel a little stunned. This plan was something she had inadvertently overheard when Mu Xiaojuan and the refugees were discussing it in the village, but despite that, she had still organized those details to make this plan more feasible.
But why? Why would someone have plans like hers?
There are only two possibilities: either it was the refugees who came up with the plan or Mu Xiangyu is still alive!
Song Lingyu asked Lian Le: "Can you see clearly what that person looks like?"
Lian Le thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't remember, at that time I just glanced at him lightly, he was also walking with his head down. Later I went to report to the emperor, so at that time I didn't pay attention to so many things."
Song Lingyu let out a slight sigh, Mu Xiaoqiu except for not wearing a bamboo hat in the village, outside the village was always wearing one. Now that everyone in the village is dead, there are only a few people who know what Mu Xiaoqiu looks like.
Lian Le suddenly raised his head, as if he had remembered something: "I only remember that he was a man, very handsome, and at the time I was thinking that there were few men in this world who looked like him. Later, I noticed his right hand. His right hand was wrapped with many white strips, and it seemed that there were also some between his fingers."
By the time he finished speaking, Song Lingyu had basically confirmed that the person was Mu Xiao Man!
It turned out that he was not dead, but had been alive all along. He had deceived Song Yishan and everyone else's eyes. As for the charred corpse, it might have just been to create a fake impression that he was already dead.
Mu Xiao Mu, I really underestimated you!
