Chapter 146: Who Is the Murderer?
"Master, just let them go?" asked a voice hidden in the darkness in the darkness in the dark.
Looking at the disappearing figure in front of him, the man's face shrouded in black robe looked very gloomy in the faint moonlight.
"Otherwise, that man is not a master to be messed with, and no one can guarantee that he will have a follow-up. ”
"But...... As soon as this happened,...... There is almost no possibility of turning over, and the little one thinks that we don't need to work with them anymore. The voice behind the black-robed man sounded again, as if he had been thinking for a long time before he could ask what he thought.
"Hmph!" the black-robed man snorted coldly: "Then you really underestimate that person! From an unknown person to his current position, do you think the people in the Lanzhao Palace are all fools?"
"This ........."
"At least in ...... Before you get to that position, you can't turn your face with him yet!" I couldn't tell whether to warn myself or comfort myself, after the black-robed man finished saying this, he stared at the dark night in the distance, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Go back!"
"Yes!"
At night, the Lingyun capital is still peaceful, occasionally the sound of drums and hammers sounding from the watchman, or one or two drunk people staggering down the street. Especially near the palace in the west of the capital, it is particularly quiet. At the entrance of the palace as usual, there is a special person standing on duty.
In the Nangong Mansion, the study room, which is not often lit on weekdays, is different tonight.
Nangong Yun was leaning on the mahogany Taishi chair with one hand and looking at a booklet, and Xia Zhu stood beside him.
"Miss, why don't you rest first, and I'll wake you up when the old prime minister returns home?" Xia Lan, who was cutting the candle flame, looked at the obvious tiredness on her master's face, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Her master has developed a habit since he was poisoned by a hundred flowers, sleepiness!
In fact, it is not so much a habit as a side effect. In the past few years, unless he encounters something particularly important, the master rarely stays up late.
Putting down the booklet in his hand, Nangong Yun rubbed his temples and said, "It's okay, wait for grandpa, grandpa was announced to the palace after the accident, and now it's almost a day, I really can't rest assured." ”
Xu hadn't spoken for a long time, and Nangong Yun's voice was a little hoarse.
Handing the cup to Nangong Yun on one side, Xia Zhu asked suspiciously, "What does Miss mean...... This time it's more serious? but...... This shouldn't have anything to do with our Nangong Mansion, right?"
After taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Nangong Yun coughed lightly and asked, "What do you think of Situ Danya's death?"
When Xia Zhu heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he answered.
"Although Princess Qingya's maid insisted that it was the eldest prince's hand, and even the guards who heard the shout and entered the room saw that the murder weapon was in the hands of the eldest prince, but ......" Xia Zhu stopped talking and scratched his head.
"But what?"
"But... I always felt like things were a little too much... It's too ......" Xia Zhu didn't know what to say, she just thought so, and the master asked, so she answered.
"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Xia Lan smiled slightly and answered.
"Yes! It's just a coincidence!" Xia Zhu's eyes lit up and he pouted: "The eldest prince is not stupid, how can he kill a foreign princess in the palace in broad daylight! Not to mention the princess who married him." ”
"Yo! yes! Our little bamboo is getting smarter and smarter now!" Nangong Yun pretended to be surprised and praised.
"Hehe!" Xia Zhu frowned when he heard this, and said happily: "I'm also the protector of Yunshui Pavilion, can't I embarrass Miss?!"
"Oh?" Nangong Yun raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll ask you another question." ”
"Since you think that the eldest prince is not a murderer, then who will be the murderer?"
"Well!" Xia Zhu heard this, his big black eyes blinked, he straightened his chest, and said confidently: "Since he is not the eldest prince, then this may be a false accusation, and the person who wants to plant the eldest prince must be the enemy of the eldest prince on weekdays." So, I think ......"
Seeing his master's eyes looking at him brighter and brighter, Xia Zhu deliberately paused, coughed lightly, and said, "The third prince is very suspicious!"
"Zhu'er has really grown up!" Nangong Yun was indeed a little surprised, she didn't expect Xia Zhu to think of these things, and was about to ask, but her eyes noticed that Xia Lan on the side was looking at Xia Zhu with a helpless smile on her face.
The latter stuck out his tongue when he saw this, and then smiled embarrassedly at Nangong Yun and said, "Miss, I said this when I heard Lan'er talk with Sister Dong today, hehe, as soon as you asked just now, I said it for them!"
"You ghost girl!" Nangong Yun helplessly raised her forehead when she heard this, okay, she overestimated Xia Zhu's stinky girl.
While the three of them were talking, the guards outside the door were out to report.
"Little Miss, the master has returned home!"
"Got it!" Nangong Yun got up when he heard this, and walked out of the door.
Seeing this, Xia Lan Xia Zhu followed Nangong Yun out of the door, and after Nangong Yun waved his hand gently, the two nodded slightly, walking like a backyard.
The former had barely taken two steps when he heard a kind and heavy voice sound.
"This time it was my negligence, when I was busy, I forgot to tell my subordinates to come back and tell Yun Yatou, which caused Yun Yatou to not sleep so late!"
"Master, you forgot to instruct, but the Lord of the Southern Hades sent someone to the mansion to inform the little lady that you will come back later, so that the little lady should not worry. ”
From afar, Nangong Yun heard the conversation between his grandfather Nangong Lin and the old housekeeper Lin Nan.
"Oh! Nan Hades King has a heart!" Although Nangong Lin's face did not change, there was a slight relief in his eyes.
"Cloud girl!"
Nangong Lin raised his eyes and saw the handsome and delicate girl standing at the door of the study, and her originally gloomy face instantly became gentle and kind.
"Why don't you take care of your body so much?stay up all night until this time?" The reproachful words that originally wanted to establish a prestige came to his lips after seeing the girl, but he couldn't help but say it in a warm tone.
"Isn't this worried that grandpa will not be good for his health if he has not eaten in the palace for such a long time!" Nangong Yun stepped forward and took the old man's arm, and said a little coquettishly.
"Nonsense, how can you not have a meal! A simple meal with the emperor and a few old ministers in the imperial study!" Nangong Lin scolded on his lips, but his face was full of kind love.
"How much can you eat, I've asked Lan'er and the others to bring over the prepared supper, but do you want to try the Qiansi noodle soup I made myself?"
"Our Yun girl made it herself! must be eaten!" Nangong Lin's old face smiled into a flower. Because the troubles of the things in the palace during the day are also put aside for the time being. smiled and went to the back hall with Nangong Yun.
"It's still our Yun girl who knows how to hurt grandpa the most. Nangong Lin looked at the thousand silk noodles in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
I was about to start the chopsticks.
Outside, the voice of a domestic servant sounded.
"Tell the master, the king of the south outside the door is here!"
