Seeing Haotian looking at him intently, Zi Tong panicked, and hurriedly let go of his hand and took a step back.

Haotian looked at his empty palm, and suddenly felt stunned, and at a glance saw Zitong, whose face was a little crimson, and his heart suddenly fluctuated and fluctuated, but only for a while, he gradually disappeared the ripples in his heart, as if it was as usual.

Hurried footsteps could be heard in the cloister outside, and in a short time the left and right wings entered.

Zuo Yi frowned: "The prince's subordinates were ordered to go to the second lady to find Xiaolan for questioning, but the other girls said that Xiaolan went out, and I don't know where she went, so the subordinates asked people to look for them in the house, but I didn't expect to find that Xiaolan's girl had drowned in the lake, and the boys had just salvaged her body." ”

Haotian stood up: "Can you find anything suspicious?" ”

Zuo Yi said: "There are no obvious injuries on the corpse, it should have drowned, and the subordinates have ordered someone to find someone to come over." ”

Haotian nodded and said, "I'll go with you to have a look." ”

After not taking a few steps, Haotian found a small tail behind him: "What are you doing with it?" ”

Zitong said: "I'll go and see it too." ”

Haotian twisted his eyebrows: "What is there to see, don't go." ”

Zitong didn't speak, and looked at him stubbornly.

After a stalemate for long, Haotian glared at her, turned around and went to the study to get a dark cloak of his own, wrapped it around her in the blink of an eye, and then strode forward.

Zitong's body was warm, and his heart was also warm, and he followed him closely.

Xiaojing Lake is the most beautiful place in Xuanyuan Wangfu, and it is also Zitong's favorite place, but when she saw Xiaolan's body by the lake, Xiaojing Lake changed in her heart. She looked Xiaolan's corpse up and down, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart, so she looked more and more carefully at every corner of her body, and her face changed color when she looked at it.

Haotian saw Zitong's white face, thinking that she was afraid, and reached out and gently pulled her back.

Zitong said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Xiaolan definitely didn't drown herself. ”

Haotian already knew about this, but he didn't expect Zitong to see it at a glance: "Why?" ”

The left and right wings looked at Zitong in unison.

Zi Tong frowned and said: "If it is self-drowning, her expression should not be like this, Lord Wang, you look at her face, she is shocked and frightened, her expression is terrifying and painful, she is clearly struggling before she dies, and why her hair is so messy, especially the hair on the back of her head, and even a few locks have fallen out." ”

The left wing and the right wing did not notice Xiaolan's hair, but after Zitong said this, they saw it, and the two looked at each other and secretly admired Zitong's delicate heart.

The left wing pulled out the sword on his body, gently brushed away the hair on the back of Jinlan's head, and the two purple handprints on the back of his neck clearly caught everyone's eyes.

Haotian saw it and said, "It's another murder." ”

The left wing hurriedly knelt on the ground: "It's all subordinates who are not doing well, please ask the prince to surrender." ”

Haotian waved his hand lightly and said, "Get up." ”

A few people walked not far away, and the one who walked in front was Ah Fu, behind him was the Ten Princes Haoyue, and there were a few guards.

Haoyue walked closer: "Sixth brother, what's going on?" ”

Haotian said: "This girl must have sold something that shouldn't be sold, and maybe she knows something she shouldn't know." ”

Haoyue said: "It turned out that he was killed." ”

Zuo Yi said: "My subordinates just found out that it was possible that this girl stole the third lady's jasper hairpin, but I didn't expect her to be drowned in this small mirror lake." ”

Haoyue smiled when she heard this: "This person's movements are really fast enough, you have to work harder on the left and right wings, and you can't always ask people to rush to the front." ”

The left and right wingers hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Haoyue saw Zitong and said with a smile: "You're here too, aren't you afraid?" ”

Zi Tong glanced at Haotian and said softly, "What am I afraid of when there are so many people?" ”

Haoyue nodded and said, "That's what I said,"

Haotian turned to Ah Fu and said, "When the servant comes, you let him come to see me first." ”

Ah Fu nodded yes.

Haotian said to the left wing: "Have you checked in this girl's room?" ”

Zuo Yi said: "My subordinates have already been there and found a box of jewelry, all of which have been confirmed to belong to the third lady, and there is some chaos in the room, as if there are traces of turning." ”

Haotian was silent for a while and asked, "Where is that box of jewelry?" ”

The left wing called for someone to bring the jewelry box of the third lady to Haotian.

Haotian opened the box and saw that all the jewelry and jewelry inside were placed in an orderly manner, and frowned: "Take it down!" ”

The left wing took the jewelry box, and wondered Haotian's behavior in his heart.

Haotian asked again, "Where does Xiaolan's family live?" ”

Right Wing replied: "Xiaolan's parents also have an older brother who lives in the suburbs of Beijing. ”

Haotian said: "Right wing, you bring a few people to take Xiaolan's family over." ”

The right wing led the order to go out.

Haotian said to the left wing: "Temporarily park the body in the empty wing room of the West Garden, send two guards, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Left Wing said: "My subordinates will arrange it immediately." ”

Haotian turned his head to Haoyue and said, "Let's not blow the wind here, let's go back to the secluded house and talk." ”

Haoyue nodded and walked with Haotian towards the secluded residence.

Zitong followed behind the two silently.

Haoyue said: "Sixth brother, do you have any eyebrows in your heart?" ”

Haotian said: "The time of Xiaolan's death is too coincidental, I suspect that it is an internal ghost." ”

Haoyue nodded and said: "The inner ghost is the most difficult, have you ever thought about how you can catch this ghost?" ”

Haotian said: "I have a way to lure the snake out of the hole in my heart. ”

Haoyue and Zitong looked at her together.

Haotian asked, "The man in black you met in the Aromatic Pavilion that night in Zitong, did you say that he seemed to be looking for something at that time?" ”

Zitong nodded and said, "Yes, he also asked if I took it." ”

Haotian pondered for a while: "I have the heart to bet that Xiaolan's girl is not stupid, and that ghost is a suspicious ghost, although the probability is half to half, but you can give it a try." ”

Haoyue said: "Sixth brother, don't sell it, come and listen." ”

Haotian said: "It's better to wait for the servants to come." ”

Zitong pouted and said, "Lord Wang, how can you say half of the words, it makes people feel anxious when they hear it." ”

Haotian smiled: "What are you anxious about? Don't run to a place where no one is there these days. "Well, why is it here again? Zitong hung her head in annoyance.

During the conversation, several people came to the secluded house.

As soon as he walked into the main hall, the second lady Rufei, the fourth lady Jinfei and their respective personal rings, as well as the chief manager Ah Shui greeted them.

Haotian didn't say anything and walked straight in.

Haoyue smiled at Xiaohong and Xiaocao standing at the door: "Did you invite you to the next post, there are so many people." ”

Haotian and Haoyue had just sat down, and Concubine Jin stepped forward and asked, "Lord Wang, I heard that something happened to Xiaojing Lake, and Xiaolan really drowned?" ”

Haotian nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Concubine Jin asked, "What can't this girl think about?" ”

Haotian asked Concubine Ru: "Xiaolan is on an errand with you, have you noticed anything unusual about her in the past few days?" ”

Concubine Ru said: "There is nothing special. ”

Ah Fu came to Haotian: "Lord Wang, Master Li has been verified, waiting outside, does the prince let him come in first, or let him wait a little longer." ”

Haotian glanced at the crowd: "Please come in, Lord Li." ”

Master Li followed Ah Fu into the secluded residence, "I have seen the six princes. ”

Haotian bowed slightly: "Lord Li is flat, presumably Lord Li has already come to a conclusion, I don't know why this Yahuan Xiaolan died?" As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall were fixed on this Lord Li.

Zitong is naturally no exception, she looked at the people in the hall, and there was a flash of lightning in her mind, could it be?

At this time, Master Li said: "Back to the prince, the humble position has been carefully checked, Yahuan Xiaolan did not drown herself, but was murdered." It is assumed that someone was crushed by the back of the neck, and his head was drowned by water. ”

Haotian nodded calmly: "I see." ”

Master Li said again: "There is also an unexpected discovery in the humble position, there is a raised lump in the throat of the deceased, as if he swallowed something before he died, maybe it is related to the murderer, but it is really difficult to take it out of the mouth, so if you want to find out, you can only cut his throat, this matter does not dare to act recklessly, so please ask the prince." ”

Haotian was silent and did not speak. The left wing on the side stepped forward and said: "The prince is not as good as his subordinates"

Haotian waved his hand and said, "Xiaolan's family hasn't seen the corpse yet, so it's not appropriate to do this, so let's wait a day or two." ”

Zitong has already understood eight or nine points, this guy really wants to set up a game and lure the snake out of the hole.

After the dinner, everyone left the quiet house one after another, and Haotian pushed open the window, and the stars were already shining outside.

Haoyue came to Haotian's side: "I don't know if it will lead that person out smoothly." ”

Haotian said: "I hope I can get my wish, so it will not be in vain for me to set up this game." ”

Haoyue asked: "Zuo Yi drank a lot of wine just now, I don't think he is cheating?" When I went out, I was helped out, and the right wing went out, and I always wondered who you arranged in Xiyuan? ”

Haotian said: "The left wing is my personal bodyguard, if you send him over, it will be too eye-catching, in addition to the two unsuspecting guards, I have arranged two other extremely reliable people, they have been hidden in a wonderful place, as for the left wing, the task I gave him tonight is to get drunk." ”

Haoyue heard this: "Who are you arranging to ensure that nothing goes wrong?" ”

Haotian stretched out his fingers and wrote the names of the two people on Haoyue's palm.

Haoyue smiled when she saw it: "You called the two of them over, no wonder you sit so peacefully here tonight, and drink so peacefully." ”

Haotian smiled slightly: "I'll go over later, I want to see who it is?" ”

Haoyue said: "I'll go with you." ”

When he turned around and saw the villain outside the door, Haotian immediately frowned: "Why are you still here?" ”

Zi Tong moved in from outside the door step by step: "Lord Wang, are you going to catch ghosts tonight?" ”

Haotian had a cold face: "What did I confess just now?" I said you had to go back to your room to rest by midnight tonight, where are Xiaohong and Xiaocao? How did they get worse? ”

Zitong couldn't help but wonder why her face changed when she was fine in the morning, she said slowly: "They thought I would rest after I slept." ”

Haotian wrinkled his eyebrows: "You deliberately pretended to be asleep, deceived them, and ran out secretly?" ”

Zitong grinned and smiled: "I didn't pretend to be asleep, I fell asleep at first, and then woke up." ”

Haotian's eyebrows tightened, "What is this?" ”

Haoyue shook her head on the side and smiled: "Sixth brother, forget it." Then he said to Zitong: "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Zitong put the white jade tray in his hand on the coffee table: "I know that the prince is going to catch 'ghosts' at night, and according to the prince's temperament, he will definitely go to Xiyuan, but during dinner, everyone toasted with a left and a right cup, and the prince drank a jar of wine. So I went to the dining room and prepared some decanting soup. ”

Haoyue glanced at Haotian meaningfully: "You got up in the middle of the night just to prepare a decanting soup for the sixth brother?" ”

Zi Tong nodded and smiled: "Of course, there are also ten princes, you have also drunk a lot of wine." ”

Zitong poured the decanting soup in the jade pot into two white jade bowls, and came to Haotian's side with a bowl: "Lord Wang, you drink it while it's hot." ”

Haotian's eyes were originally looking at Zitong, but when she walked in front of her, she twisted her face to the side: "I'm not drunk, so I don't need to drink this thing." ”

Zi Tong tilted his head and looked at him: "This is not something that you have to be drunk to be drunk and not wake up in the world, this soup is to prevent the smell of alcohol from rising, you see that your face is still a little red now!" ”

Zitong handed the bowl in her hand a little closer, and Haotian looked at her with a complicated expression, but still didn't pick up the bowl.

Zitong raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why is the prince so awkward?" As he spoke, he grabbed one of Haotian's palms.

Haotian wanted to hide, but she was afraid that the hot soup in the bowl would spill and burn her hands, so she had no choice but to take the white jade bowl firmly.

Zi Tong turned his head and saw Haoyue looking at him, so he said, "Ten Princes, you also drank it while it was hot." ”

Haoyue smiled: "I will not refuse Zitong's heart." So he picked up another bowl.

Zitong turned to look at Haotian, Haotian sighed, and drank the sobering soup in his hand.

Zi Tong nodded with satisfaction, and then leaned to Haotian's side: "Is there a place where the prince has used Zi Tong for tonight's affairs, maybe Zi Tong can help a little." ”

Haotian glanced at her: "Do you want your help?" I'm afraid that a small favor will turn into a big mess! ”

Zitong pursed her lips and looked at Haotian with her eyes: "Where is it so serious?" ”

Haotian said: "I also drank the sobering soup, and you still haven't returned to the room?" ”

Zitong begged: "I can't sleep when I go back, so you let me stay for a while." ”

Haotian raised his face: "No" Before the other word could be spoken, Zi Tong smiled and continued: "Okay." ”

Seeing this scene, Haoyue smiled and said, "Sixth brother, let Zitong stay here." Zitong immediately smiled: "It's still the tenth prince who is easy to talk to." ”

Haotian said: "Maybe something will happen in a while, and it will be safer to return to the room." ”

Zi Tong shook his head: "Where in the entire palace will it be safer than staying by the prince's side?" ”

Haotian's heart jumped involuntarily, and he was immediately speechless, not knowing what to say to refute her.

Haoyue chuckled: "This is very reasonable, the sixth brother might as well take Zitong to Xiyuan to catch the 'ghost' in a while, we will have nothing to do with her." ”

Zitong's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Haotian didn't let go at all: "No." ”

Zitong leaned over a little more: "Okay, okay." Seeing that Haotian didn't speak, Zitong reached out and grabbed his arm, and shook it gently: "Okay, okay?" I'm absolutely, absolutely not going to make a mess. ”

Haotian wanted to shake off Zitong's hand, but when he saw her face that was a little red with excitement, she couldn't exert any strength on her arm, so she had to sigh secretly.
