Chapter 37: Get along

When he returned to the palace, he still walked out of the dark road, walking in front of him, with a cold wind blowing in his red sleeves all the way, and Duqing in the back, thinking about the case all the way.

Walking to the end of the dark passage, Bu Xihuan put his hand into the jade lamp embedded in the wall, pressed the wick, and suddenly heard the sound of water pouring behind the stone wall in front of him, and after a while, the secret door on the stone steps opened, and the wet and warm water vapor rushed to his face.

Twilight looked behind her, a little startled in her eyes. She only knew that the mechanism of the secret passage was at the dragon's eye, but she never thought that the mechanism that went up was in the wick. Although the flame of the wick is not high and can be extinguished with bare hands, few people can think that the exit mechanism will open a secret passage under the wick, and first put their hands into the fire in the oil. The setting of this mechanism can be called ingenious.

Followed by Xihuan up the steps of the dark road, back to the Nine Dragons Bath Platform of the Hehuan Palace, Twilight Qing looked at his feet as soon as he came up, and saw that the jade pool under his feet was exhausted, but there was still warm steam, and sure enough, what he heard just now was the sound of water pouring out of the pool. She remembered that when she left last night, the water in the pool was released, and it seemed that the mechanism was cleverly set up, and after they left, the water filled the pool again, so that even if someone entered the temple, it was difficult to find that there was a secret passage under the water.

Twilight's eyes showed admiration, for the thoughtfulness of this secret channel. After praising it, she lowered her head again and continued to think about the case.

Bu Xihuan turned around, and what she saw was her contemplative appearance, the dark color in her eyes was deep, and the jade finger in her sleeve flicked towards the faucet on the bath table, and the jade embedded in the middle of the faucet suddenly concave, and the water column in the mouth of the nine jade dragons around the pond surged, and the upper of the two of them was wet.

Twilight looked up, her eyes cold and piercing.

"Do you want to summon the palace people into the palace to serve with a stinking body? Are you afraid that someone won't know that you left the palace last night? Bu Xihuan glanced at her lazily, and the color between her eyebrows did not decrease.

When Du Qing heard this, her face became even colder, "Your Majesty wants to bathe with the mud on the soles of your shoes, but you have no opinion, you can do it yourself!" ”

She flicked her sleeves, and the cold wind that blew out carried the rotten smell of the corpse that had been boiled last night, went to the bathing platform, stepped down the dragon platform, and went to the apse.

She also knew that this carrion corpse Qi would have to be bathed before she could summon the palace people into the palace, but she was not interested in bathing with the mud on the soles of her shoes. The autopsy is her job, and she doesn't care how heavy the smell of the corpse* is when she works, but she has a cleanliness fetish outside of work!

Twilight entered the apse and sat down at the table, too lazy to be idle with life, and then went back to the autopsy this morning.

I don't know how long it took, and Bu Xihuan's voice came from a distance at the gate of the palace, "Serve me to bathe." ”

The man's voice was cold and deep, and Twilight raised his eyes, seeing that his black hair had been scattered, his robe had gone, the jade belt was loose, and a line of jade was eye-catching, but there was no charming spring love between his eyebrows and eyes when they met in the night hall before, only with that thick laziness, as if he had not woken up, lazy, and shallowly cool.

After only one glance at her, he turned and left, leaving only the clothes like clouds, burning half of the temple red, and when the figure was covered by the tent of the main hall, he heard the voice come from the front hall from afar, "The pool is clean." ”

Twilight got up, and she believed that he couldn't bear to bathe with the mud of his shoes. The time when she entered the temple should not be short, and the water in the pool should have been changed. She walked out of the apse, took off her shoes and socks and put them under the Nine Dragons bath, went up the jade steps barefoot, and entered the pool without undressing.

The sky outside is already bright, and if you don't call people into the palace, there should be someone in the palace who is suspicious, and the time can't allow the two of them to bathe separately, and Twilight doesn't mind bathing together. Anyway, she didn't undress, and he didn't lift it, what else could happen?

Twilight Qing raised her eyes and saw Bu Xihuan sitting opposite her, her eyes slightly closed, her robe was dyed with a pool of mist, and the red clouds were close at hand, but her face was a little blurry, not like the color of the world. Seeing him bathing quietly, she didn't say anything more to let her serve, and she lowered her eyes and bathed quietly.

This morning's bone examination, the clues are quite complicated, and she has no clue for a long time. She just wanted to find the murderer of Concubine Liu, and then follow the investigation to find the culprit of her father's murder, but as a result, all the palace guards around Concubine Liu were executed, and the most direct clue was broken, but it was found out that Concubine Liu had given birth to a child.

Dad must not have found out this matter when the autopsy was conducted, Dad is a man, there is a difference between men and women, although the female corpse can be examined, but the examination of the woman's private place needs to sit on the mother-in-law according to the law, so the father should not be destroyed because he saw the secret of Concubine Liu.

But this is just the most normal reasoning, what if the other party is afraid that he will see it, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go?

This possibility is there, so the clue that Concubine Liu gave birth to a child cannot be let go. If the murderer has murderous intentions towards his father because of this incident, it must be related to Concubine Liu's secret, so it is necessary to reveal Concubine Liu's secret.

But it's a bit difficult to check this line, Concubine Liu's child is unlikely to be born in Shengjing, she went to Shengjing to choose a concubine, and after entering Beijing, she entered the palace bureau to teach the palace rules, how can there be time to secretly tie the knot with people? Therefore, if you want to investigate this matter, you should go to the tomb. But Shangling is located in Jiangbei, and she is now trapped in the Bianhe Palace......

Twilight frowned, not seeing that the man across from her had opened his eyes to her for a long time.

The pool water is warm with the eight-sided Chinese tent, and the man is lazily sitting on the jade platform, his body is half-immersed in the water, his face is like a jade, but the expression at the bottom of his eyes is gloomy and difficult to distinguish.

She can do it! He ordered her to take a bath, just to call her to bathe, and with her intelligence, I believe that I can see it, but she really takes it for granted? Shouldn't you say a soft word to him, and you won't see that he's still angry?

The more Bu Xihuan looked at Twilight, the tighter her eyebrows were, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, she saw that she hadn't lifted a glance, and suddenly got up from the pool and strode away.

He was barefoot, and his robe was wet, so he opened the door of the hall and walked down the porch, leaving the sound of inhalation outside the hall and the sound of "majesty" that followed all the way.

Fortunately, he lost his mind without anger, and when he left the temple, he threw the temple door shut. Twilight sat in the middle of the pool, looking up at the closed door of the temple, looking inexplicable. This person is really inexplicable, he came back late this morning, and he also knows that if he doesn't call the palace people into the palace, it will arouse suspicion, and it will be too late to take a bath, so he originally intended to ask her to bathe. In that case, what is he angry about?

Twilight Qing frowned, she used to bathe in herbs after autopsies, but the smell of this rotting corpse today is not good for the palace people to bring herbs, and it will take a long time to bathe in clean water. She thought that the palace people would come in immediately, but after a long time no one came, she smelled the smell on her body before getting out of the water, walked down the steps and lifted her shoes and socks up, and still entered the pool, and then entered the apse and called the palace people.

The palace people came with new clothes, and Twilight didn't need to be served, so she went to the tent and changed out, and when she saw that the palace people who had a happy look on their faces yesterday morning, they all bowed their heads and silenced, with a bitter face.

The palace lady who served her yesterday looked up at her several times, her eyes lamenting. I finally met a well-served son, but I didn't think that I would provoke the dragon's anger one day, and my majesty went, and the son was not far from the cold palace.

Just as he was thinking, a scream of a eunuch came from outside the hall.

"Propagation of the Holy Will---" -

Off topic -

Haha, what are you doing with your majesty's decree? Is it really going to send your daughter-in-law into the cold palace?

Guess!
