Chapter 55: Suspicion

The pit where the body was buried was not dug deeply, and in less than a quarter of an hour, several guards dug up Xia Xiang's body.

Qian Tu put away his thoughts and looked at the corpse seriously.

His cheeks were sunken, but his eyes were closed. The fatal wound was a wound in the neck that cut the major arteries. After a while, Qian Tu said: "I was cut by someone and the blood vessels in my neck died, and I didn't suffer too much pain." The murderer took advantage of the victim's defenselessness to attack at close quarters. ”

Qian Tu stared at Xia Xiang's face and continued expressionlessly: "The murder weapon is the short sword in the hand of the maid just now. ”

And a man? He also saw a man, but he couldn't see what the man looked like. Qian Tu's brows furrowed again, could it be that he couldn't make a mistake today!?

First of all, he couldn't see the two people at all, but now the man who appeared when the maid was killed, he still couldn't see clearly! Ever since he woke up at the age of twelve, he had the ability to see the past, and he had never been so depressed as he was today!

In frustration, Qian Tu saw that the shape of the corpse's hand was somewhat abnormal. The corpse's left hand was spread flat, but its right hand was clenched into a fist. As soon as the thought came to him, Qian Tu walked to the right side of the corpse and broke off the corpse's right hand.

Xiao Zhao and the three of them stood a few feet away, dumbfounded. My lord... Don't need a handkerchief?

Dongmei also walked over, and the person died right under her nose, and she didn't know it. Is that person's martial arts too high, or is her martial arts too low?!

At this moment, Qian Tu found the silk thread of the clothes remaining between the fingernails of the corpse.

"Golden silk?" Dongmei said.

"Yes." At this time, the previous battle between the two had already been thrown out of the clouds. Qian Tu replied to her and said, "Golden silk, and it's the best golden silk." ”

Chu Yueqing's face turned pale, and he subconsciously clenched Xuanyuan Hao's arm. Golden silk is a tribute. There are only a handful of people in the capital who can have golden silk, and who can sneak into King Hao's mansion silently, a figure appears in her mind.

She thought that things would have a few more years to turn around and prepare. However, it turned out that his murderous intent had already begun!

Chu Yueqing looked at Xia Xiang's corpse coldly, her voice was sad, and said, "Go buy a coffin and bury it." ”

Qian Tu didn't stop it, things have developed to this point, and the next thing is no longer something he can touch.

――

Xia Xiang's body was put away by the guards and placed in the coffin, and she went out from the back door of the palace at dusk to find a place to bury it.

Qian Tu asked the two to resign, and led the frightened Xiao Zhao and the two little servants back to his mansion in a carriage.

Chu Yueqing sneaked away the others, leaving Dongmei and Moori, and said to them, "Tomorrow, I want to go back to the Hou Mansion." Come with me. ”

Dongmei nodded solemnly, and then went back to the side room.

Chu Yueqing looked at Moori with a sad face and said, "You can also go back and rest." ”

――

The charcoal fire in the hall was unattended, and it had been extinguished. Chu Yueqing closed the door, the room was empty, and her heart was empty.

She looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a firm gaze, and Xuanyuan Hao was also looking at her. His eyes burned and his eyes filled with anger, "Come here." ”

Chu Yueqing was stunned and didn't understand why he was angry. But she also told him a little, and went with him into the inner room.

Walking into the inner room, Chu Yueqing didn't speak, waiting for him to speak first.

Xuanyuan Hao was also looking at Chu Yueqing, he was thinking about how much he could trust him, and recalled in his mind every minute and every second since he married her.

He was regained his sanity when the maid was in acuteness. There have been two cases like this in previous years, but this time it was a little different.

The first two years he was in the month of Layue, and on his birthday, he endured the piercing pain of the whole night before he could wake up for more than a month. But this year is very calm, and the calm makes him feel if his time is running out.

Chu Yueqing saw that he had been staring at her, and her cheeks involuntarily began to burn, but reason calmed her down. Since he didn't say it, then she said it first.

His eyes still seemed pure, but as she looked at them, she suddenly felt a little bottomless. After a while, she slowly spoke, "If you can't think of what to say to me, then I'll ask you." ”

"Okay." Xuanyuan Hao nodded lightly and stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for her next step.

"You," Chu Yueqing took a deep breath, closed his eyes to stop looking at him, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you in a normal state of mind now?" ”

When Xuanyuan Hao saw her like this, he felt that he was thinking too much, with her boldness, where was it worth his vigilance. The corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled, and said, "Normal." ”

Chu Yueqing's heart was beating like a drum, and she especially hoped that Xuanyuan Hao would answer her ignorantly: Lady, Hao'er is normal? When did Hao'er become abnormal? Or cry to her aggrievedly: Qingqing, do you dislike Hao'er?

Then she went over and hugged him, and said no. Then they praised him and coaxed her.

But what she heard was a normal 'normal', Chu Yueqing pretended to be stupid and opened her eyes, smiled very stiffly, and asked, "What did you say?" I was too nervous to hear clearly. ”

"No", Xuanyuan Hao looked at Chu Yueqing's face that was more ugly than crying, and the smile in the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper, and said, "You heard it, I know." ”

At this time, Xuanyuan Hao's brocade robe and jade crown, his eyebrows were as clear as the sun and the moon, and the smile in the corners of his eyes was quite spoiled, and even he didn't notice it.

If other women saw his doting smile, they would probably be as sweet as honey. It's just the current situation, obviously Chu Yueqing doesn't want to see him look at herself with such a smile, and she can't realize whether there is sweetness in this smile, she only feels that this smile is like a joke, and it is like a mockery, more like a big-tailed wolf seeing his prey.

In short, it makes her very hairy.

After Xuanyuan Hao finished speaking, he went out in a very happy mood, and the anger that he had provoked by Adian before also disappeared. Chu Yueqing was left standing alone in the inner room, at a loss.

――

Opening the door of the main hall, Xiao Xiangzi was outside.

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao who opened the door and came out, Xiao Xiangzi was overjoyed, and bowed down and said, "Lord Wang." After the salute, Xiao Xiangzi did not raise his head, but his eyes were shining.

Xuanyuan Hao snorted lightly and said, "Xiao Xiangzi, you go to tell Master SΓΉ Ding, this king will not go to Qinwu Academy tonight, I will go to see him at the beginning of tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang" Xiao Xiangzi quickly ran out to the Qinwu Academy, such good news must be reported to Master SΓΉ Ding earlier.

In the Qinwu Courtyard, Steward Zhang and Ding Yi were sitting on the stone table in the courtyard playing chess.

"Ah", Steward Zhang put the black chess in his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, Ding Laodi, I won again." ”

Ding Yi threw the white chess in his hand and said: "I am a military general, and I am naturally no match for you literati with these things." Why don't Brother Zhang get up and play a few tricks with me, and see who loses and who wins? ”

Steward Zhang hurriedly waved his hand, and his smile made the fine lines on his face crawl out, and he said, "Brother Ding, you can't cheat me like this." As far as my three-legged cat kung fu, I can't be disabled by you if I play with you. If you don't want to play chess, we won't play, and it's good to just sit quietly and wait. ”

Ding Yi said that he didn't want to play chess, and he didn't insist on letting Manager Zhang accompany him. But sitting on the stone bench and waiting is not his style, he is anxious!

Therefore, he walked back and forth in the courtyard, looking forward to the gate of the Qinwu Academy.

Steward Zhang was dizzy, and finally couldn't help but say, "Brother Ding, don't go anymore, I'm dazzled when I leave." ”

Ding Yi walked more happily, and said with a smile: "You are old and dizzy, so I told you not to squat in the room and read, but to come out more to practice martial arts..."

Ding Yi's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes were sharp, and he saw Xiao Xiangzi running over from a distance, and said excitedly: "It's here." ”
