Chapter 52: The Mystery of the Killing (2)
Until Zitong's figure was out of sight, Ziyang smiled and said, "Sixth Prince, you have been tired for a long time, why don't you take a rest in the cold house?" ”
Haotian glanced at him, "No need, this king will go back to the house." Send your daughter to the palace tomorrow, she is the princess married by this king, and she should return to the palace. ”
Ziyang hurriedly nodded yes and sent the six princes away.
Haotian returned to the palace and saw that the tenth brother Haoyue was waiting for him.
"Sixth brother, if Concubine Shu dies like that, won't you be sad and frightened?" Haoyue couldn't help but ask when she saw Haotian's indifferent expression.
Haotian said indifferently: "I can't talk about the cold, it's just a little strange, the four knives on Concubine Shu's neck have killed her, why did the perpetrator gouge out her eyes, does this person really hate her to the bone?" ”
Haoyue was also puzzled, and rubbed her temples with her hands like a headache, "This person is cruel and fierce, but such a delicate and beautiful girl, but she can also do it?" If it's someone outside, it's fine, if it's from the house, sixth brother, you have to pay attention, that scene is that I also have a cold scalp and cold sweat when I see it, so I sympathize with the little girl who ran away last night, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the terrifying scene is enough for her! ”
Seeing that he turned the topic to Zitong again, Haotian couldn't help but say, "That girl is indeed interesting!" ”
"Really? I'd love to see what that girl was like! Haoyue smiled.
Haotian smiled faintly and didn't answer.
After a while, Haoyue said to herself: "I really don't understand, why did the murderer gouge out Concubine Shu's eyes?" ”
After a while, Haotian said slowly: "Tenth brother, do you know why I took Concubine Shu as a concubine?" Because her eyes are so soft! Hearing this, Haoyue looked at him in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
The night was faint, and the moon cast a clear glow through the dark purple twilight.
Zitong sat in front of the steps of the blue jade stone, deep in thought.
At the beginning of last night, she came to the warm incense pavilion where Concubine Shu lived. Coincidentally, the maids of the concubine were not there! It stands to reason that Concubine Shu was cut off by someone, and there should be some movement in the house, but no one heard the slightest sound, which is really strange.
In a trance, someone came to Zitong's side, "Miss, what are you doing?" ”
Zitong saw that it was Wan'er, and hurriedly said, "Wan'er, didn't I tell you to go back to rest earlier, why did you come back again?" ”
Wan'er took a breath: "The city lord ordered to prepare some things and send the young lady back to the palace early tomorrow morning." ”
Zi Tong was a little angry with his father, and he was in a hurry to send himself into that terrible palace again. But, after thinking about it, if you want to find out the truth of this matter, you can only do it by returning to the palace, who let this matter happen to you! Thinking about the woman who died tragically, Zitong's sense of justice was bursting, and she vowed to find out the real murderer!
Early the next morning, Zitong was sent back to the palace by her father.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Zitong was taken directly by the housekeeper to the courtyard where the sixth prince Haotian lived.
Zitong entered the Qingyou Pavilion for the first time and sighed. The world is rich and honorable, and it really has to be the home of this emperor.
Every piece of furnishings in the quiet pavilion can be said to be priceless and a treasure in the world; The decoration layout of each place can be said to be unique and ingenious.
The sixth prince Haotian sat in front of the bookcase, reading an excerpt, and there were probably dozens of folds in front of him.
There was a stunning woman leaning on the soft couch next to her, her eyes revealing a little grievance, and when she saw the green jade bowl in the hand of the maid standing on the side, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Lord, can the concubine not drink it." ”
Haotian said lightly: "No." ”
The woman was like a pear flower with rain, and begged bitterly: "Lord, the concubine begs you." ”
Haotian raised his eyes to look at her for a while, and then said, "Xiaolian, help Concubine Ru take medicine." ”
Zitong stood aside, quietly watching this scene, couldn't help but feel very sympathetic to Concubine Ru, and then looked at the soup in the bowl, frowning secretly, what the hell is this? The swarthy nature makes people disgusted at first sight, why did the sixth prince force Concubine Ru to drink this thing? He's so ruthless! There is no feeling of pity at all!
Zi Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion in her heart when she saw that Concubine Ru still drank the disgusting decoction, but what puzzled her was that when Concubine Ru left Qingyou Pavilion, she actually asked this ruthless prince to plead guilty, saying something that should not make the prince angry, and bowed her head and left.
Zi Tong sighed, things and things in the world, people and people, there seems to be a kind of fate, that is, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, there is no way. At this moment, she was in no mood to sympathize with others, she had been standing here for two or three hours, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she was almost unconscious, and this sixth prince seemed to have long forgotten that there was such a person as her, neither let her stay nor let her go, she was left here like this.
Zi Tong secretly looked at the sixth prince who was concentrating on reviewing the excerpts, and found that he really had a good skin, only to see that he was handsome, his face was like a carving, his facial features were distinct, and his angular face was handsome and abnormal. It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. The innate dignity and domineering are even more unbearable.
Just when Zitong looked at his face a little distracted, she heard Haotian's voice that was neither light nor serious, "You go and pour a cup of tea for this king." ”
Zitong was stunned, was he talking to himself?
Haotian didn't raise his head: "What are you doing here?" ”
Zitong had to reply softly: "The little girl will go now." ”
Zitong handed over the teacup, but Haotian frowned: "The tea is so hot, how do you tell this king to drink it?" ”
Zitong subconsciously probed the teacup with her hand, feeling that the temperature was moderate, and the water was still hot?
Haotian said unhurriedly: "Pour another glass." ”
Zitong reluctantly poured another cup of tea, and at this time, a young man walked in from outside, with a lofty atmosphere and an extraordinary appearance, and he was also rich and powerful at first glance! This person is none other than the Ten Princes Haoyue.
Zitong put the tea tray on the bookcase and quietly stood aside.
Haoyue saw her and nodded with a smile.
Haotian picked up the teacup but didn't drink it, suddenly threw the teacup in his hand on the ground, and reprimanded: "The water is so hot, do you want to burn this king?" ”
Looking at the smashed tea cup and the splashed tea, Zitong knelt down weakly, alas, here it is again! She silently cleaned up the mess on the ground, and suddenly, her fingers tingled, and Zitong looked down to see that she had been cut by broken porcelain, and blood was constantly spilling from the wound.
Haoyue saw Zitong staring at the cut finger motionless, and stepped forward to pull her up from the ground, "Silly girl, don't you know the pain?" ”
Haotian frowned at the blinding red, and he glanced at the right wing standing aside.
The right wing immediately understood Haotian's intentions, and took out a white jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Zitong.
Zi Tong looked at the right wing incomprehensibly, what did he do with such a bottle for her?
Haoyue shook her head helplessly, took the jade bottle from her hand and opened it, and a little fragrant powder from it was gently applied to Zitong's fingers, saying that the magic blood was immediately coffin?
"Zitong, I haven't thanked the Ten Princes yet." Haotian said coldly.
Zitong hurriedly said: "Thank you to the tenth prince!" ”
Haoyue smiled slightly: "Sixth brother, this girl is Zitong!" Mmmm, it's really fragrant, especially these big purple eyes, it's really charming! Sixth brother, you are really a blessing. ”
Haotian glanced at Zitong casually, and then said, "What serious are you here?" It's not for you to come to the beauty pageant! ”
