The two old temple people who were in charge of guarding the corpse were hunched up, their gray and dirty hair was exposed under the old cloth hats, and they retreated with a few silver buns in their hands tightly, and did not forget to gently close the temple door.

Zangjiao's fingers have been pinched white from force, which is to suppress the slightly trembling body. A gust of wind swept in from the tattered window lattice, obviously it was summer, I don't know if it was the ice under the corpse or the cold breath that made the whole body tense Zangjiao shivered fiercely.

He'er didn't dare to come in when he stood outside, but fortunately, the few Yulin guards who came with him outside were guarding, which saved trouble. Although Qin Ge and Chang'an stood beside him with a flat expression, Zangjiao's chest was still pounding as she stared at the obvious outline under the large piece of white cloth and her chest was still thumping.

"Lift the white cloth and let me take a look at Sister Yuzhen." Zangjiao tried to make the tone appear calmer, and Qin Ge and Chang'an glanced at each other, revealing an appreciative look.

Chang'an strode forward, pulled up the white cloth on Lin Yuzhen's head and slowly lifted it, Zangjiao closed her eyes tightly, bit her pale red lip and opened her eyes to look at Lin Yuzhen's corpse.

Lin Yuzhen's face was very serene, there were no blood-drenched stains, and there was no hideousness that was not blinding. She lay peacefully on the broken ice of the coffin with her eyes closed, her face still slightly flushed, and only her hands were tightly clenched into fists on either side of her body.

Qin Ge's face showed surprise, and he glanced at Chang'an, Chang'an carefully looked at Lin Yuzhen's complexion and demeanor, and lost his voice in surprise: "Lin Cairen has only one scar on his body, and his clothes are neatly torn and slightly oozing blood.

The appearance is serene and ruddy, but it seems to be a kind of strange medicine in the White Mountain Country, the slave's master Changfu has mentioned that this medicine is taken from a kind of poisonous flower in the White Mountain, smeared on the blade of the soldier into the body, and the deceased is as painless as taking hemp boiling. ”

"Since it was a stab in the heart, the assassin must have been a tall man, and if he did, the scar should be between the chest and abdomen. Baishan Miracle Medicine, Assassin Isn't Baishan a native of Baishan? But where did the Baishan Yi people come from in the deep palace. Qin Ge looked at Chang'an and wondered.

"You are getting more and more ill-informed now, the envoys of the Baishan Kingdom have already arrived at the Honglu Temple last night, and this morning the Honglu Temple Qing Guo has already performed the sage, and the envoys will be arranged to meet in the near future. I'm afraid that tonight is these restless envoys who break into the Forbidden Palace at night, and I don't know. Chang An replied to her with a frown.

Zangjiao silently listened to the two of them, looked at Lin Yuzhen's corpse, recalled her delicate expression when she first met, held a jasmine flower and smiled and said that the official family is a man who is afraid of sleeping together, and tears are like broken beads sliding from her eyes and falling to the ground.

Qin Ge held her arm and comforted softly: "Cairen, Lin Cairen has already gone, Cairen will go back to the palace after a glance, it is already very inappropriate to come to the funeral palace late at night, and your health is not good, if you are sad and frightened, it will not be good." ”

Zangjiao nodded tearfully, pointed at Lin Yuzhen and clenched her hands and instructed Qin Ge: "Although Sister Yuzhen looks peaceful, her hands are clenched so tightly, she must be sleeping restlessly, you can help me open her hands." ”

Qin Ge agreed, stepped forward and picked up Lin Yuzhen's hands, carefully pulled them open, and when he pulled away the other hand, he exclaimed softly: "There are still things in the hands of talented people." ”

Zangjiao hurriedly stepped forward to look, only to see Lin Yuzhen holding a jade pendant in her palm. When Qin Ge picked up the jade pendant and sent it to Zangjiao to take a closer look, it was a piece of high-grade mutton fat white jade, with a four-legged strange monster carved on it.

"Cairen, this Lin Cairen was holding this thing in his hand when he was dying, but I was afraid that the meaning was very great. You see? Qin Ge took the jade pendant and asked Zangjiao.

Zang Jiao looked at this jade pendant and pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid that this is the thing left by the assassin, take it for me to keep it, if someone from the Criminal Department comes to check the cause of Yuzhen's death tomorrow, then take it out." I think that those temple people who guard the corpse are only afraid that they are very fond of money, but fortunately they have not been discovered. ”

Qin Ge nodded, took out a silk handkerchief from his waist, carefully wrapped the jade pendant and put it in the palm of Zangjiao's hand, and persuaded: "Talent, go back to the palace quickly, I am afraid that it is not very peaceful in this palace, even if there are a few Yu Linwei, it will not help." If the Assassin didn't leave, he had to come back to search for it. ”

Zangjiao couldn't support her surprise and sadness all night, nodded, her body shook slightly, leaned on Qin Ge softly, and whispered to go back to Yunshu Palace.

He'er muttered in a panic, while bringing hot water to soak Zangjiao's feet, and complained about Zangjiao with red eyes: "The lady is getting bolder and bolder now, and when she was at home, the lord was not afraid of some county cases, and when she entered the palace, she went to see the dead people late at night." The slave is really scared to death. ”

Zangjiao complained to her in a daze, bursts of sleepiness hit, and muttered to He'er to clean up and go to bed earlier, and there was no need to toss anymore. Qiulan and Qiuzhi had already gone back to the next room to sleep, and it was He'er who was on duty at night, waiting for the service Zangjiao to lie down, and He'er also spread out the futon on the low couch and fell asleep, leaving only a copper lamp unextinguished, and fell asleep soundly in a moment.

In the darkness, a tall figure turned out from behind the blue gauze cupboard, glanced at He'er, who was sleeping soundly on the couch, snorted coldly, walked to Zangjiao's bed and stared at it through the gauze tent.

Zangjiao tossed and turned in her dreams and couldn't sleep restlessly, Lin Yuzhen's face repeatedly appeared in front of her eyes, as if she was spying on herself, so she twisted her head and swayed from side to side to get rid of that sight, her soft black hair was messy and scattered on the pillow, and her smooth forehead was oozing thin sweat.

The tall figure who was staring down at Zangjiao gradually had unknown emotions in his eyes, reached out and gently opened the gauze tent, and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and stretched it out on Zangjiao's forehead to wipe the sweat.

Perhaps feeling the unfamiliar breath approaching, Zangjiao woke up suddenly, stared at the figure in front of her with a pair of soft phoenix eyes wide, and before she opened her small mouth to call, the figure covered her cherry lips with one hand, and wiped the sweat off Zangjiao's forehead with a silk handkerchief with the other hand.

Looking down at the frightened person in front of her, the figure spoke into her ear and said in a low and pleasant voice: "I'll just help you wipe your sweat, beautiful girl, you don't have to be afraid." Don't worry, I won't hurt a beauty like you. If you're willing to keep quiet, I'll let your mouth go, okay? ”

Zangjiao opened her bright eyes, her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and she nodded vigorously. The figure smiled lightly and really let go of his hand, Zangjiao took a few breaths with her small chest undulating, and looked at He'er on the couch with anger in her eyes.

The man seemed to know what she meant: "Don't worry about your maidservant, I just put some drugs in her water glass, and she will wake up tomorrow morning." ”

"How do I know if what you say is true or false, who are you, and what is the purpose of infiltrating my palace? Don't... Are you the assassin who killed Yuzhen? Zangjiao asked in a low voice, her voice frightened and full of anger.

"You're such a smart girl, but you're a little bit short." The figure actually praised Zangjiao: "I came to retrieve what you got from that woman, but I didn't kill the person." As I said, I would not kill a beautiful girl, who was very young but beautiful. ”

"Nonsense! The thing Yuzhen is holding in her hand must have been left by the person who killed her, since you are here to ask for Yupei, you keep saying that you are not a murderer! His squeamish body trembled, and he stared at the man with hatred.

The man's face in the shadow of the lamp gradually became clearer, and he could vaguely see a graceful contoured face, a high nose bridge and thin, slightly upturned lips, and a pair of eyes like deep pools that could not be seen, faintly glowing with a touch of amber.

"The jade pendant is indeed mine, but it was not taken from me. Of course, it can also be said that someone else took it from me and put it in her hands, you Da Chu call this a false accusation. It's getting late, as long as you give me back that piece of jade pendant, I will leave, and it will definitely not hurt you. ”

The man stretched out his hand in front of Zangjiao and looked at her with an innocent face.
