Tianyinju.

Li sat in the room and was drinking tea after dinner, because the sky had darkened, and a candle had been lit on the table next to him.

Yinqiao walked in at this time. "Madam, there are two old ladies who say that they have something important to ask to see you, saying that it is about the death of the fifth aunt. ”

Li pondered for a moment before saying, "Let them in." "Put down the teacup in your hand.

Yinqiao turned around and walked out, leading in two old women.

These two old grandmothers are both old men in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and one of them is the old lady who pours night incense.

As soon as the two grandmothers entered, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Li family.

Li glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said lightly, "Say it." ”

The two old ladies glanced at each other, and according to the previous agreement, the old ladies who poured the night incense took the initiative to say: "Madam, the murderer described in the mouth of the third lady...... The old slave and this old sister feel very much like a person....... ”

Li frowned when he heard this. "Who?"

The old lady who poured the night incense looked at Li and said cautiously: "...... The eldest prince ....... ”

Li was instantly silent.

Yinqiao glanced at Li's silent appearance, stared at the old lady who poured the night incense and asked, "Why do you suspect that it is the eldest prince?"

The old lady who poured the night fragrance stared cautiously at Li's every move, and saw that she seemed to acquiesce to Yinqiao's question, so she dared to answer: "Because the old slave once saw the eldest prince feeding a black cat ......." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the old lady beside him a few times implicitly.

The old lady reluctantly spoke: "The old slave has indeed seen a black cat appear next to the eldest prince, and more importantly, ...... The eldest prince was blind in one eye. ”

Li listened to the words of the two old grandmothers, and the dusty memories that he had forgotten were suddenly revealed.

After having Zhuo Wenbo, she completely forgot the existence of Zhuo Ziao. If it weren't for the reminders of these two grandmothers, she would have forgotten that there was such a person in the house.

Yin Qiao looked at Li Shi at the right time and said, "Madam, the eldest prince is indeed blind in one eye, and he was still blinded by the sword of Si Kou Yubing, who escaped. ”

The black cat and blind one eye all faced the murderer in Zhuo Ran's mouth. But what Li couldn't figure out was why Ziao wanted to kill the fifth aunt, and he glanced up at Yinqiao hintly.

Yinqiao immediately took out the reward silver and rewarded the two.

The two old ladies took the silver bounty and kowtowed with a thousand thanks.

Yinqiao personally sent them out of Tianyinju, and said uneasily: "Madame knows this matter in her heart, and she has her own decision, it is best for you to be cautious when you go out of this door, and don't talk nonsense everywhere." After a pause, he warned meaningfully: "Otherwise, there will be rewards and punishments." ”

The two old ladies reassured themselves again and again, and turned to leave.

Yinqiao was about to turn around and go back and forth, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhuo Ran from far and near, so he stood in place and watched her get closer and closer.

I saw that her face was full of tears, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her green hair was even more dull.

sighed again in her heart, her reputation as the first beauty in the capital was about to give way to Zhuo Nan.

"Third Miss. "Bow your head and salute.

Zhuo Ran looked at Yinqiao, who saluted her in a proper manner, and said coldly, "I want to see my mother." ”

"Please come with the slave maid. "Silver leads the way.

The two stepped into Tianyinju, walked through the outer courtyard and walked into the inner courtyard, Zhuo Ran stopped at the door of the room, but Yinqiao walked into the house to report.

"Madam, the third lady asks to see you outside the door. ”

Li glanced at Yinqiao and said lightly, "Let her in." ”

Yinqiao turned around and walked out, and soon led Zhuo Ran back and forth.

Zhuo Ran saw Li bowing his head and saluting, "Mother, my daughter has a few words I want to say to you alone." ”

Li glanced at Yinqiao, and Yinqiao immediately retreated in understanding.

Zhuo Ran took a few steps closer, looked at Li with a well-behaved face and said, "Mother, the fifth aunt also told Ran'er something before she died. ”

Li looked at Zhuo Ran's well-behaved appearance and lowered his eyes. "What's the matter?" the fifth aunt must have told Ran'er that she had deliberately misplaced her to death. If you want to blame her, she is so beautiful that she provoked Steward Zhou!

Zhuo Ran took another step closer, and recalled with a strange expression: "Before her death, my aunt suddenly said that the third aunt's real name is Meishuang....... ”

Li Shi stood up suddenly, and looked at Zhuo Ran with indifferent eyes, and suddenly became extremely aggressive!

Seeing that Li was so out of shape, Zhuo Ran lowered his head to achieve his goal, revealing a silent smile.

Li Shi came back to his senses and sat down slowly, his sharp eyes became indifferent again, and he looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "What else is the matter?"

"None. ”

"If you're tired, go back to Baihuaxuan, where you used to be, to rest. ”

Zhuo Ran looked up at Li's polite refusal, revealing a look of fear. "Mother, my daughter doesn't dare to go back to Baihuaxuan. ”

Lee frowned.

Zhuo Ran continued with some concern in her heart: "The fifth aunt was brutally killed, and the daughter suspects that someone is secretly avenging the dead third aunt, in case the murderer even takes revenge on the daughter...... The daughter is afraid of ....... ”

Li Shi looked at Zhuo Ran, and saw that she looked frightened and didn't seem to be fake, and asked, "Why did you say that the murderer killed the fifth aunt in order to avenge the third aunt?" Could it be that Ziao killed the fifth aunt really to avenge the dead third aunt? But didn't he hate the third aunt the most before?

Zhuo Ran suddenly burst into tears, took out a handkerchief and wiped it before replying: "Although the fifth aunt was disfigured by the murderer, it was not fatal, what really killed her was the wound on her neck, mother! She was deliberately bled to death! The murderer was too cruel! The daughter had also seen the corpse of the third aunt, and she also cut her throat with a knife, so she was suspicious." ”

Li Shi comforted in his heart: "The person is dead, no matter how sad you are, it will not help." I'll let someone find out about it. "Thinking of Zhuo Ran's identity, even if she is the fifth princess who has fallen out of favor, she is also the princess of the fifth prince, but she can't have an accident here.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Qing'er's courtyard is guarded by the officers and soldiers left by Situ Weiguo, it is very safe, I will ask Yinqiao to send you to her courtyard to rest." ”

Zhuo Ran: "......" knew that the fifth aunt was secretly killed by Zhuo Qing's faction, and even sent her to Yue Diexuan!

Could it be that her mother wanted to put her to death?

On second thought, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.

Because if something really happened to her Zhuo Qing, Zhuo Qing would definitely be pointed out by thousands of people! Thinking about it like this, she felt at ease!

His mind turned to his heart, but in an instant, he bowed his head to the Li family and saluted. Thanks to the mother's thoughtfulness, my daughter retired. ”

"Hmm. Li bowed slightly, and watched Zhuo Ran step out of the door and say a few words to Yinqiao outside, and the two walked out of the courtyard.

Li stepped forward and closed the door, turned around and entered the inner room, sat in front of the dresser with his back to him, and suddenly whispered: "Come out." ”

A dark guard leapt from the beam of the room and knelt down on one knee in front of her.
