Chapter Fifty-Six: The Battle in the Mourning Hall
Rong Xi's smile made Leng Yixiu's eyes light up.
The smile was warm and soft, her eyebrows were no longer as sharp as before, the warmth in her eyes was like a flash of early spring light, thousands of miles of ice and snow quietly melted, and with a bang, turbulent spring water flowed out, and her curved lips were like two petals, which flushed Leng Yixiu's whole heart.
She rarely smiles like this, and she rarely even shows a smiling face, Leng Yixiu doesn't know that she is cold, and she occasionally smiles softly like this, which is amazing.
His hand turned, the big hand wrapped around her, her fingertips were slightly cool, slender and small, he shook her hand, and the temperature of the palm passed from the fingertips to her heart.
When the people at the gate of the mansion saw King Ning arrive, they hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Wang, you are here." ”
Leng Yixiu waved his hand, Rong Xi took a step back quietly, her identity today is Li Haijiang's apprentice, dressed in men's clothes.
"King Ning has arrived--" shouted, and some of the people inside took it, and followed Leng Yixiu's footsteps to the middle of the mourning hall.
As expected, on the chair next to him sat Liu Yiwei, the king of Qi, he was dressed in white, his face was even paler, his eyes were bloodshot, his black pupils were a little more cloudy, and his lips had lost their blood.
Seeing Leng Yixiu coming in, he slowly stood up, his body shook slightly, and the little guy next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help, he looked at the prince's coffin, and then looked at Leng Yixiu, and then said sadly: "Third Emperor Brother, Second Brother...... Over there. ”
Leng Yixiu didn't speak, just nodded, took the incense handed by the eunuch, held it to his chest and said, "Second Emperor Brother, Brother Chen, I came to conduct an autopsy for you today to find out the cause of your death, I hope you can go on the road with peace of mind." ”
Leng Yiwei's eyebrows were slightly raised, and then his eyes turned red again.
Rong Xi swept it from the corner of his eye, this person is the King of Qi? It's a good look, but it's a pity that I'm sick, especially those eyes, which always make people feel very uncomfortable.
Leng Yixiu finished the incense, turned to Li Haijiang and Rong Xi and said, "Okay, you guys start." ”
"Wait!" A break interrupted the footsteps of the two men.
Rong Xi turned his head to see that a man strode in from outside the door, wearing a robe, the corners of his clothes were flying in the hurry, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were round, and he looked angry.
What's going on?
Behind the man was an elderly man, dressed in a purple official uniform, and carrying a bag in his hand, bulging, as if there was something.
Seeing this old man, Rong Xi noticed that Li Haijiang's beard beside him was pouting again, huh? Could this be the junior brother? It doesn't look like the brothers are very harmonious......
"What do you mean by the Fifth Emperor Brother?" Leng Yixiu had no expression on his face, but just turned his head and looked at the five princes who came lightly.
"What do you mean?" The fifth prince smiled coldly, "Third Emperor Brother, the younger brother wants to ask you what you mean, the second brother has already gone, how can anyone touch it?" ”
"This is the will of my father, to make the body of my second brother ugly to this king, so as to find out the truth about his death, these two are the masters brought by this king, why not?" Leng Yixiu said proudly.
"Master?" The eyes of the fifth prince swept over Li Haijiang's body, as for Rong Xi, he didn't put it in his eyes, he just felt that this person was too young, and a person who didn't have any hair grown, what could he do? However, just a sweep made him can't help but look at it again and again.
The young man standing in front of him was dressed in a moon-white robe, with a light blue belt tied around his waist, although there was no precious gem inlay on it, but it was tightly tied to his waist, and his posture made him even more erect.
He stood there quietly, but like a bright jade tree, people couldn't help but look at him, his complexion was white and moist, a pair of long eyebrows flew obliquely, the eyebrows were heroic, a pair of eyes were deep and quiet, like a deep pool without waves, the pupils were black and bright, almost immersed in those beautiful eyes, just ...... The gaze of those eyes was too calm, and it seemed a little cold, and it made people feel chills when they looked closely.
His lips pursed slightly, and the straight line flew like a blade, suddenly making people feel a pain on their faces.
Who is this young man?
Leng Yixiu noticed the gaze of the five princes, turned around and stepped forward to take a pillar of incense, and silently blocked the eyes of the five princes, "The fifth brother should put incense on the second brother first." ”
The fifth prince was blocked, remembering that he had indeed not given incense to the prince since he arrived, and he could only take the incense hatefully and go first.
And Leng Yixiu blocked Rong Xi's movements, so that Leng Yiwei, who was on the side, saw that his eyes had noticed Rong Xi from the beginning, and felt that this young man had a calm temperament, but because of this, he was even more outstanding, but it didn't look like a puppet, and his face was also very handsome, which was eye-catching.
He didn't believe that Rong Xi's identity was as simple as just a fake apprentice, and Leng Yixiu's seemingly unintentional block just now made him even more sure of what he thought in his heart.
"This is the palace servant," the fifth prince had incense, still holding on to the topic just now, "The younger brother believes that only people of this level are qualified to give the second brother a physical examination. ”
"However, my father said that he had already experienced it, and he had nothing to gain." Leng Yixiu said unceremoniously.
The old man's face turned red, "Yesterday the official did inspect it, and no abnormalities were found, and when I went back yesterday, I always felt uneasy, so I ...... I want to check it again. ”
"The younger brother also feels that it is very necessary, only those who serve the court can be qualified to touch the body of the second brother." As he spoke, the fifth prince swept Li Haijiang with cold eyes.
Li Haijiang's beard was pouted high, and his face was sarcastically like a purple eggplant skin, he puffed out his cheeks and just wanted to refute, only to hear a cold and clear voice say: "The world is just different in the division of labor, there is no high or low." ”
The fifth prince was stunned at first, and then he was angry, "What are you?" ”
"Doing it depends on real skills, not on the level of level, the five princes haven't heard of it, are there any masters among the people?" Rong Xi's words carried a hint of sarcasm, she paused and said, "As for ...... I'm not something, let's take a look at the post-mortem of Guò first. ”
Rong Xi's words were like a drop of hot water into the oil pot, and the "hiss" sound stirred up countless echoes, and smashed into the ears of the people present, Leng Yixiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, sure enough, it is my princess, listening to this tune, it is different from ordinary people, what did she just say? Are there masters in the people? Well...... Not bad.
When Li Haijiang heard this, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears, and the fingers in his sleeves trembled slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief today, this princess ...... What a strange person, not much to say, but extremely weighty, and most importantly, this is tantamount to rehabilitating this kind of profession that everyone considers "bloody and low-level"!
The five princes looked at Rong Xi with angry eyebrows, and they couldn't wait to catch him and beat him up, but it was a pity that Leng Yixiu was there, the smile on his face disappeared, his eyes were gloomy and flipped over, and he became more and more aggressive.
Leng Yiwei was also shocked by Rong Xi's words, and then when he saw Leng Yixiu's expression, he became more and more curious about Rong Xi's identity, but he was not as stupid as the fifth prince, he just lowered his eyes, pursed his lips without saying a word, and quietly watched the development of the situation.
Leng Yixiu sank his face, the murderous aura around him came out, and the fifth prince couldn't help but take a few steps back, only to hear him say in a cold voice: "Father's order is to let this king arrange a candidate for the second brother's physical examination, as for what this king arranges, there is no need for the fifth brother to bother, if there is anything wrong, there is this king to take care of it!" ”
Seeing that his attitude hardened, the fifth prince didn't dare to say anything more, but just flicked his sleeves and said, "Hmph, that's the best!" ”
"Let's get started." Leng Yixiu turned to Rong Xi and Li Haijiang and said.
"Senior brother, why don't you let me give you a hand? Or...... Let me learn from you? The five princes asked with a smile.
He is an official, although he is slight, but he is always higher than the status of people like Li Haijiang, especially his words are not tough, and he also brings out the relationship between senior brothers, Li Haijiang turned his head to look at Rong Xi, Rong Xi did not say anything, this kind of trivial matter is also worth bothering her?
Leng Yiwei noticed this subtle phenomenon, where is the reason for the master to ask the apprentice for instructions? It's ...... There's something weird.
Li Haijiang was pondering what Rong Xi's facial paralysis expression meant, whether he agreed or disagreed? was embarrassed, only to hear Leng Yixiu say: "Since Wu Yanzuo wants to help, let's go over and help." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wu Qizuo immediately thanked him.
"However, today's autopsy is not for me, but for him." Li Haijiang pointed to Rongxi Road.
"Him?" Wu Yanzuo's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Rong Xi over and over again, his appearance and demeanor were not bad, but ...... Acting is not determined by appearance, most of them are the experience of decades of accumulation of countless corpses, what can a person at such an age do?
After he was surprised, he was disdainful, "Senior brother, you don't have to spend any hour practicing apprenticeship, how can it be a simple autopsy this time?" You must know that this matter is related to the emperor's order, in case ......"
"What if? It's up to me. Rong Xi coldly interrupted his words, glanced at him, and then glanced at it, making Wu Yanzuo swallow back the words later, and opened his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.
Leng Yixiu waved his hand, and a group of guards came up and carried away the incense case in front, revealing the prince's coffin, which was gold-plated with high-quality golden silk nanmu hooks, which was extremely luxurious.
Rong Xi looked at the precious coffin, but a faint sadness welled up in his heart, what if the coffin was expensive? To be dead is to be dead, and it has nothing to do with what kind of coffin you lie in, and it has nothing to do with the funeral of the scenery.
She looked at the prince lying in the coffin lightly, there was no sadness or joy in her eyes, only calm. Li Haijiang peeked at it, and couldn't help but secretly praise, this princess is really amazing, what she is most afraid of is to test with affection, judging from the princess's eyes alone, this has been done.
