The Mansion of the King of Words.

Early in the morning, when the family opened the door, he saw a flower and green leaf hanging on the door bolt, and his mind was spinning, and he remembered what the master had told him not long ago, so he hurriedly ran into the inner hall to report the news. That night, Xiao Yan stood in Lu Xiaohan's house as promised.

"Don't come unharmed, princess." He was playing with a piece of jade pendant, looking quite improper.

Xiao Han was finally able to see him clearly this time, with fair skin, bright eyes and bright teeth, and clear outlines, she secretly sighed that she was worthy of the royal genes, although the styles were different, but they were handsome.

"It's really a pleasure to bother the Seven Kings to go on a trip," she pretended to be polite, "but I have some trivial information recently, but I don't know if it's a clue, I want to ask the Seven Kings to ponder it together." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. He paced to the table and sat down, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. This free and casual energy is the same as Lu Xiaohan.

Xiao Han immediately entered the state, and sat down opposite him, "I have communicated with Xiao Yu a lot these days, and I overheard some coincidences. The day before the incident, he wrote a letter to ask Miss Xu to meet on the second day of the incident, and the specific time and place were the same as those at the time of the incident, but one day earlier. ”

She said this, and fell into the memories described in the whisper......

The reason why Xiaoyu was able to rush to the scene as soon as possible that day was because he received an anonymous letter saying that Xu Yun was in crisis by the river. So he hurried out of the house, and when he passed through the courtyard, he was hit by the reckless maid Ruo'er. In anger, he snorted angrily, and the other party hurriedly knelt down and explained: "The slave and maid can't find any trace of the princess up and down, so I'm in a hurry, please atone for the prince!" ”

Time was pressing, and he walked away without much thought, but as soon as he arrived at the river, he saw a well-known scene. At that moment, he suddenly thought of what Fang Cai said, so the two things that might have been completely unrelated overlapped at that moment coincided with each other, and then became ironclad evidence in his heart.

After listening to Lu Xiaohan's relay, he pondered: "If the time and place of Yun'er's murder coincide with the time and place of her and the third brother's appointment, but only one day in advance, will it be ......?"

Xiao Han stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers beautifully in front of his eyes, "The prince and I have thought of it together!" Since it is unlikely that Miss Xu and I will have an invitation to protect each other, someone must have used the letter to move forward the date by a day. ”

"In this case, the person who did the trick must also be inseparable from the person who wrote the anonymous letter to the third brother," he followed her train of thought, "maybe it was the same person." ”

Xiao Han nodded: "That's right, if these inferences are true, then the reason why I appeared on the scene is easy to explain." Perhaps the murderer did the same, left a letter to me, and tricked me into going to the river with a lie. ”

The two glanced at each other, and the clues in their hearts gradually became clear.

There was a knock on the door. After quickly dodging to the screen, Xiao Han took a deep breath and asked calmly, "Who is it?" ”

"Miss, it's Ruo'er." A familiar voice sounded outside the door, it was her personal maid Ruo'er.

Xiao Han was about to find an excuse to send her away, but Xiao Yan leaned out and gestured at her, and she suddenly realized, yes! Ruo'er is his personal maid, when did he disappear from the palace that day? What anomalous behavior can be said before disappearance? You can find Ruo'er to find out a thing or two! So she sorted out her expression and called Ruo'er into the house.

"Miss, the prince has allowed the slave to come back and serve you!" Ruo'er looked beaming.

Xiao Han smiled, fortunately, there is such a caring person by her side, if she hadn't taken care of her secretly in the past few months, she might have died on the sickbed.

"Ruo'er, I have something to ask you, it's a big deal, you must answer carefully."

The maid covered her mouth and snickered: "Miss, look at you mysteriously, what else will be more important than you being favored again?" ”

"On the day Miss Xu was killed, what unusual words or actions did I have?"

Ruo'er probably didn't expect Miss to suddenly ask about this, and was slightly sluggish: "How much time has passed here, how did Miss think of this?" ”

"Although the days have passed, this matter has not yet been turned over, and my grievances have not yet dissipated. So just answer my questions carefully, and don't let go of anything! ”

Ruo'er tilted her head and recalled: "There was nothing unusual about Miss that day, and it was also a common chord after getting up early, grooming, eating, walking in the garden, and chatting with the slave maid was also homely. ”

"Wandering?"

"Yes, I remember that morning, the slave maid called Miss in her ear several times, but Miss couldn't hear it. After lunch, I was still not very energetic, so I retired from the slave and maid early and went back to the room to rest. ”

"You're saying I'm left alone after lunch? So ......"

"But it's not, now that I think about it, I really regret killing the slave," Xiao Han was about to ask Ruo'er when she found out when she was not in the room, but she snatched the conversation, "It's all because Ruo'er was careless, and she actually took a nap in her room for an afternoon, until the housekeeper came to slam the door and knew that something had happened to the young lady!" ”

Ruo'er's face was full of chagrin and remorse, but at this time, Lu Xiaohan's heart was filled with a chill. He said that when he received the report, he had bumped into Ruo'er in the garden, and Ruo'er said that he was looking for the missing princess; But now, Ruo'er said that she had been napping in the house all afternoon and didn't know about her disappearance. One of them will be a liar.

At this moment, Xiaohan's brain was a little confused, she looked at the well-behaved girl in front of her, thinking about the friendship over the past few months, she really couldn't think of Ruo'er's motive? But in the face of such a reality, there is no doubt that the possibility of lying is extremely small.

"I see, you go out first." Her tone was a little weak, and she watched Ruo'er walk out the door in a daze.

"It looks like things are going to come to a head soon." The whisper walked out from behind the screen.

Xiao Han calmed down and tried to calm his mind, "I can't think of any reason for her to ......"

"There's a lot of things you can't think of," interrupted her, "and if you still have any hesitation, you can confront her directly." ”

She rubbed her temples and said in a muffled voice: "This matter needs to be further confirmed before we can act, she is my personal maid who plays small, if there is really a misunderstanding in this, such a showdown will definitely ruin a master-servant relationship." ”

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, and left her a word when he left,

"The master and servant are still framed like this, I'm afraid it's even more femme fatale."

The next day, she rushed to the whispering chamber early, and trotted all the way, in a hurry, and she had to confirm the doubt at once, and she could not wait for a moment.

There was also a long corridor that was his room, but she could vaguely see a figure, so she unconsciously slowed down. As the distance got closer, the back in front of her became more and more familiar, and when it was only a few meters away, she finally recognized that the owner of the back was Ruo'er.

She stepped into the whispering window and looked in, and though she couldn't see anything at all, she tried for a while. When she turned her face sideways, Xiao Han saw that her face was filled with an indescribable smile, and she seemed to be very satisfied and happy. After a little more pause, Ruo'er stuck something on the window railing, and then walked away briskly.

Xiao Han stepped forward and saw clearly that the thing she had inserted in the window railing was a daisy that had just been plucked from the branch. Looking at the delicate yellow in front of him, Lu Xiaohan understood the ** layer in his heart.

"What are you doing with your pestle at my door?" A deep male voice suddenly came from the side.

It turned out that Xiao Han was only immersed in contemplation, but he didn't notice that the owner of this room had opened the door and came out.

She smiled at him listlessly, and said weakly: "Lord Wang, I think I can avenge Miss Xu and myself." With that, she ran into the house on her own.

Xiao Yu was about to criticize her for her recent free and loose style of doing things her own way, but when she turned around, she threw a small flower on the table, and she didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Can you show me the letter from that day?"

He saw that her face was sallow, and she had two deep dark circles under her eyes, and thought that she should have stayed up all night, so although he had a whisper in his heart, he still took out the letter as she said.
