Chapter 554: Clues

Leng Yixiu's body is still sitting upright, not moving like a mountain, but his eyes are looking down, layer by layer, like the cold wind in winter, with thin snowflakes, inch by inch on people's skin.

"This king came to ask you, has that dress always been in your hands?"

"Yes." The lady in charge replied prostrately: "Since that New Year's banquet, Niangniang has handed over the clothes to the old slave for safekeeping, and the old slave does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and has always been careful, until today it was sent to Ning Wangfu, and it was also handled by the old slave. ”

"Very good," Leng Yixiu sneered slightly, "Then you say, before you send it, the clothes have a fragrance?" ”

The lady in charge leaned to the ground, but she could still feel Leng Yixiu's gaze cut on her back, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze out, like wearing a sticky and cold underwear against her skin, but she didn't dare to move at all.

In fact, she had been thinking when she heard the conversation between Leng Yixiu and Wei Guifei, since she started to keep the clothes, it is certain that she has not used incense, and if she is going to give it to Princess Ning today, there is no reason to use incense, the preferences of the fragrance are different, not to mention that Princess Ning is pregnant again, this is the least thing that should be paid attention to, so she can be sure that there is no incense on the clothes.

However, looking at Leng Yixiu's determined expression, there is no need for him to come to the palace to tell this lie, so ...... What's going on?

She gritted her teeth and slammed her forehead on the ground, "Back to the prince's words, the old slave can be sure that since the clothes have been kept in the hands of the old slave, there has been no incense on the clothes." ”

"Oh?" Leng Yixiu's laughter was even colder, he leaned over slightly, his eyes looked like a dragon from the clouds, cold and distant, but with persecution, "Then you say...... Princess Ning hadn't worn that dress yet, and she hadn't even unfolded it, and the fragrance was ...... Where did it come from? ”

"Old slave ......" The cold sweat of the lady in charge slowly seeped into the bluestone brick surface from the corner of her forehead, leaving a faint trace, "The old slave doesn't know." ”

"You don't know?" Leng Yixiu's voice was smiling, but it made the mother's heart tremble slightly.

Wei Guifei looked at the lady in charge who was kneeling on the ground, and her heart was a little sour, for many years, there was only this old lady left by her side, and now that she was asked by Leng Yixiu like this, how much brilliance did she have on her face?

Wei Guifei stood up, took a step forward and said, "Xiu'er, this palace can vouch for Mama Liu, that fragrance is definitely none of her business." ”

"Oh?" Leng Yixiu looked sideways, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised, drawing a somewhat sharp arc, "So who does the concubine think?" ”

Wei Guifei's eyes were scorching, shining, but the fingers under her sleeves were trembling slightly, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "I don't know about this palace, in short...... It wasn't done by this palace, and it won't be done by Mama Liu. ”

"That's strange," Leng Yixiu's body slowly returned to its original position, and his voice was slightly long, as if he was thinking slowly.

"Lord - Lord Wang! The old slave remembered something! "When the lady in charge heard Wei Guifei speak for herself, she was warm and astringent, obviously it was a good thing for the mother, and she left it to herself, so decent, but in the end, things became like this, how could she not be ashamed or regretful?

"What's the matter?" Leng Yixiu's eyes immediately sharpened, "Something comes to mind, say it quickly!" ”

"Old slave...... When I went to Ning Wangfu, I took a carriage, and when I was halfway there, the wheels of the carriage suddenly broke, and the old slave's head was hit, and the two little eunuchs said that they would repair it immediately, but ......"

She hesitated, Leng Yixiu didn't ask, but some scenes slowly surfaced in her mind as she said, and she intuitively told him that there was really something wrong with this.

"But-" The lady in charge couldn't hear Leng Yixiu's voice, looked up quickly, and lowered her head again and said: "The old slave didn't know why, he suddenly fainted, and when he woke up again, the two little eunuchs had almost repaired the carriage, and the old slave was also very nervous at the time, and hurriedly looked at the clothes, the box was still there, and the clothes inside were also safe, so ...... I didn't go to my heart, I just thought I had hit my head, so I fainted for a while. ”

After the lady finished speaking, her head was against the ground, and the cold ground slowly spread from her forehead to her whole body, and she didn't feel anything at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she also feels that something is a little inappropriate, it is said that it is just a head hit the wall of the car, how did you faint?

"Who arranged the car for you?" Leng Yixiu's heart was slightly relieved, of course he didn't want to have any misunderstanding with Wei Guifei, although it can't be proved now, this matter must have nothing to do with her, but at least from all aspects, she really didn't need to do this.

So, instead of wasting time here, it is better to follow the clues to check, as long as what the master said is true, then, there must be traces.

"The old slave is willing to accompany the prince," as soon as the lady in charge heard his question, she knew that he was at least willing to believe what she said, and she didn't hide it in her heart, she said it all according to the truth, so she naturally wanted to find out the matter quickly and give Wei Guifei and herself a proof of innocence.

"Very good," Leng Yixiu said, looked sideways at Wei Guifei and said, "If the mother concubine doesn't mind, Erchen remembers that she went with Erchen." ”

"Naturally," the corners of Wei Guifei's mouth stiffened with a smile, "Being able to find out the truth and remove the danger around Rong Xi is also what this palace hopes for." ”

Leng Yixiu didn't say anything more, he stood up, bent slightly to Wei Guifei, turned around and strode away.

The lady in charge also hurriedly got up, glanced at Wei Guifei, and didn't have time to say anything else, so she quickly followed.

Wei Guifei looked at Leng Yixiu's upright back, watched him stride away, and didn't look back, thinking about what happened just now, her heart seemed to be dug open by someone, and the whirring cold air passed through her body, making her seem to be frozen into an ice sculpture, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, and she saw the crystal light flashing in the corners of her eyes.

Leng Yixiu had already thought about it along the way, and the lady in charge followed behind him, and when he was about to arrive at the courtyard, Leng Yixiu stopped, and the footsteps of the mother in charge also stopped, and then he realized that he walked in front of Leng Yixiu.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard the neighing of horses, and several little eunuchs were busy working there. Is there something the concubine has to order? ”

"It's not the mother this time," the lady in charge smiled, looked behind her and said: "It's the prince who wants to do things for the mother, the prince entered the palace in a hurry, and didn't come by carriage, isn't it, the concubine Niangniang specially asked the old slave to arrange for the prince." ”

Hearing what the lady in charge said, the little eunuchs looked at her line of sight, only to find that Leng Yixiu was standing outside the door, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Leng Yixiu stood there, his clothes were lightly swaying, like a drifting cold wave, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound, only to feel that the empty courtyard just now suddenly felt crowded.

"Get up, hurry up and prepare the car, this king still has something to do." After a while, Leng Yixiu spoke.

The eunuchs hurriedly got up and went to prepare the car with their hands and feet, and the lady in charge said on the side: "Don't bother, just arrange for the car when I go out in the morning." ”

The eunuch leader's mouth was grinning, and he said with some embarrassment: "Mama, this ...... I'm afraid it's not very good, there are rules for the carriages and horses in the courtyard, and the identity of the prince is different from yours, so naturally ......"

"Is it listening to you or to me?" The face of the lady in charge sank, and she lowered her voice and said, "What do you know? The prince went out to do errands this time because of the micro-service, if he used the carriage you prepared, wouldn't it be clear that he was suing others about the identity of the prince? ”

"Oh......" The eunuchs immediately understood, and nodded their heads again and again, "Thank you for mentioning it, otherwise...... I'm afraid the minions won't be able to please and will have to be scolded. ”

After that, he immediately turned around and pulled the horse to set the carriage used by the lady in charge when she went to King Ning's mansion in the morning, and they prepared with their hands and feet, and no one noticed that the lady in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage was quickly prepared, and Leng Yixiu said, "Who drove the carriage in the morning?" Let's go out with this king this time. ”

"Yes." The two little eunuchs immediately walked out and jumped into the carriage, and the lady in charge also followed Leng Yixiu and got into the carriage.

"Lord, where are you going?" The little eunuch asked outside.

"According to the road in the morning, go again," Leng Yixiu replied inside, "In addition, stop at the place where the carriage is broken in the morning, and this king will see if it is because of the road conditions." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch immediately understood, didn't His Royal Highness King Ning receive the errand of building the road? Is this going to be an unannounced visit?

The carriage quickly left the palace, the two little eunuchs were driving the car outside, but the car was silent and depressed, the lady in charge sat at the door, Leng Yixiu didn't say a word, but she became more and more nervous, and the curtain was blown and slapped on the carriage for a while, making a "pop" sound.

The lady in charge felt that the cold sweat on her body was blown by the wind, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly, goosebumps all over her body, Leng Yixiu didn't speak, she didn't dare to say a word, just lowered her head and looked at her fingers, praying in her heart that Leng Yixiu would find some clues, so that Wei Guifei's disgust could be cleared away, and not to cause misunderstanding between Wei Guifei and Leng Yixiu.

There was not much time, so I heard the little eunuch outside say: "Lord, the place where the carriage broke down in the morning will be there soon." ”

Leng Yixiu's eyes immediately sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, stop when you get there." ”

"Yes."

The speed of the car slowly slowed down, the horse stopped with a snort, and the lady in charge hurriedly raised her hand to lift the sedan curtain.
