Chapter 154: Choy Sum Meatballs (Part II)
Originally, Li Ping wanted to say, "You look so haggard and ......", but she still had some good feelings for the sweet and pretty Lin Wei in her heart, because only Lin Wei said, "The princess doesn't need to learn etiquette, you are born noble." So after seeing that she hadn't seen her for a day, Lin Wei had lost a lot of weight, and her skin had lost its luster, so she was even more convinced that Lin Wei was framed.
But Lin Wei's haggard speed was inevitably too fast, when she was more than ten steps away from Lin Wei, she saw that Lin Wei's skin was wrinkled and her eyes were blank, but the closer she got to Lin Wei, the drier she became, Li Ping stared at it dumbfounded for less than a minute, Lin Wei was no longer human, and the screams of the palace maid came from her ears......
Du Shaonan went from being pushed away by Li Ping to Li Ping approaching Lin Wei, Lin Wei changed, and the palace maid screamed...... It was only less than two minutes in total, but he exclaimed not far away: "Zombie!? Then he pulled Liu Yiyi next to him and ran.
As soon as he ran here, there were figures around him running quickly, rushing towards Li Ping and the mutated Lin Wei......
"Be careful! Can't be bitten by her! Can't be scratched by her! Du Shaonan subconsciously stood and reminded him, because then he would be infected, if all the masters of Ouchi became zombies, the world would be over, and he would not be able to escape!
After Du Shaonan finished shouting, Lin Wei shook and fell to the ground, and then Li Ping also shook and fell backwards, but she was a princess, of course there was a female guard to catch her.
This one doesn't seem to be quite the same as a zombie...... Du Shaonan saw that none of those masters listened to him, not only was he so close to Lin Wei, but he was also squatting to check, and the one on the ground didn't know if it was a corpse or something, and he didn't move.
"It doesn't seem to be a zombie...... Liu Yiyi said softly, she was also frightened, but she sounded a warning in her head not to faint, she knew she was going to escape. But her legs couldn't move, but fortunately, Du Shaonan pulled her.
Du Shaonan pulled her ...... Liu Yiyi lowered her head, the two of them were still holding hands, her face suddenly turned red, she looked at more and more people who rushed over, and quietly let go of her hand.
Du Shaonan didn't notice that he was still pulling Liu Yiyi, and he didn't notice that Liu Yiyi let go. Because the exclamations of the palace maids not only made the secret guards in the palace appear. The patrolling Imperial Guards also came, and then the Emperor also came.
As soon as Li Mu came over, all the people knelt down and shouted "Long live". This did not make the Son of Heaven's mood a little better, and after stepping down from the irrelevant people later, the emperor moved a chair from Gonggong Yan and sat on the scene to ask about the case.
Li Ping came to trouble Liu Yiyi. In order to prevent someone in Jiashan Palace from reporting to Empress Dowager Lin, she rarely used her brain to use an excuse to go to the garden to play. only took two little palace maids out, and now the princess was frightened and was quickly sent to Renshou Palace, and the two little palace maids did not have that good life. When they first screamed, there was no one to protect them, and when they were more crowded, they cried loudly, and the emperor couldn't stop their crying.
It seems to be really scary. Li Mu had no choice but to let the two old grandmothers take people down first, and asked while coaxing.
Du Shaonan was the only man present at the time. Now he is also looking at him the most calm, of course Li Mu asked him first, Du Shaonan didn't make it up, what did he say from Li Ping, and then he vaguely noticed that Lin Wei was wrong, but he was pushed away when he stopped the princess, Li Ping also said words of sympathy for Lin Wei, and he didn't hide a word.
"Wechen was worried that this person would suddenly become a corpse because he had been poisoned by an unknown poison, so he shouted to be careful not to touch it." The reason why Du Shaonan talked about Li Ping's words and deeds in detail is not only to show that this princess is self-inflicted, but also to buy time to round his words, the word "zombie" hopes that the ancients will not be able to remember it if they don't understand it.
Hearing Du Shaonan say this, Li Mu's expression looked a little better, and then asked the person who checked it: "What did you find?" ”
"Weichen is incompetent, this person's bones show that she has been dead for two years......" The speaker's voice lowered, because he himself thought that this statement was ridiculous, but Lin Wei's corpse was indeed like this......
Li Mu really sneered: "Two years, what did I see yesterday?" ”
"Weichen is incompetent, please ask the emperor to transfer the grievances of the criminal department to investigate carefully...... "They are masters of the interior, after all, they are not professional in handling cases."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked Weichen to ask, what happened? How could the princess faint? Lin Yuxiao finally showed up with Father-in-law Yan of Renshou Palace.
Li Mu immediately stood up: "What's wrong with the queen mother, but she is frightened?" He asked with concern.
"The Queen Mother was startled when she heard the princess fainting, but I diagnosed that the princess was fine, she was scared, she fainted and was escaping reality, she could wake up after a while, and it was normal to cry and coquettish after waking up, and then drink two calming decoctions, the Queen Mother was relieved, let me and Father-in-law Yan see what happened." Lin Yuxiao said in detail.
If the Queen Mother wants to inquire about the news, let Father-in-law Yan alone, and let Lin Yuxiao come over, in fact, she doesn't worry about the emperor asking him to help, Li Mu understands the good intentions of the queen mother when she hears it, yes, his sister is not angry, but fortunately, he still has the queen mother who cares about him.
"Shaonan was also present at the time, you can ask him." Li Ping's stupidity Li Mu was angry when he heard it, how could he be willing to repeat it again.
When the emperor had the privilege of being willful, Du Shaonan could only obediently tell what he said to the emperor, and then told Lin Yuxiao and Renshou Palace's father-in-law Yan.
"The slave will go and talk back to the Queen Mother." It's not the first time that Princess Ping has been stupid, and the father-in-law of Renshou Palace listened very calmly, bowed to Li Mu and said.
Li Mu nodded: "I will take care of the matter here, please rest assured after telling my mother." ”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for Weichen to bring the dishes from the small kitchen to add food to him, you see this......" Du Shaonan looked at the food box that had fallen on the ground, before he pulled Liu Yiyi to escape for his life, naturally he couldn't care about what to eat.
Li Mu looked at Liu Yiyi, who was bowing his head, but he frowned before he said: "What to do, now that you are in this situation, you should send the prince to Renshou Palace to accompany the Queen Mother." ”
"At this time, the Queen Mother has already had lunch, and the Prince hasn't eaten yet......" Du Shaonan said tentatively.
"Isn't there a big kitchen on the Queen Mother's side? Will you wronged the prince by letting the people over there cook food for the prince? Lady Liu, go back, you're frightened, you don't have to cook these days. Li Mu said coldly, and when he heard it, he didn't care about Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi didn't dare to say anything, and said "yes" and retired.
Du Shaonan also gave a gift to the East Palace. One of them went forward, the other went back, and there was no chance to say anything again.
"You help me see how she died...... Li Mu pointed to Lin Wei's body, Lin Yuxiao's ability is no less than that of an old criminal who has served for many years.
Lin Yuxiao only glanced at it from afar: "What did the person who checked before say?" ”
"They say this person has been dead for two years......" Li Mu sneered.
"In this world, there are martial arts and drugs that instantly take away the opportunity of life and change the time of death, and I have heard it when I was handling cases before. Someone used this to fake the scene. Get out of the ...... for yourself," Lin Yuxiao said and looked at the sky, "It's going to be windy, and the emperor's dragon body is important." It's better to go back, if you don't worry, you can let the criminal department check again. ”
"What is there to worry about with your words," Li Mu finally smiled, "I just let the criminal department chase the murderer." ”
The Emperor laughed. The atmosphere present was a little more relaxed, and when Li Mu and his party had just returned to the imperial study. Sure enough, the wind was blowing outside, and the wind was not small, and the branches were shaking.
"Sure enough, you got it right," Li Mu said with a smile again. "If you hadn't reminded me, I'd have blinded the sand." He said and waved his hand to signal all the palace people to retreat.
"The emperor is the true son of the dragon, and no evil can enter." Lin Yuxiao said softly. "We didn't already know that when we were kids."
Lin Yuxiao never mentioned the incident when they were children, even when the two were alone. Today he took the initiative to talk about it, and Li Mu understood it after thinking about it: "Lin Wei's death is really unusual?" ”
"Weichen remembers, after the emperor found out that Lin Wei was a woman dressed as a man, he had asked people to check the origin of this woman, it is said that this woman has been lively and smart since she was a child, but she does not like to read and do poetry, her family is her brother, she once had a serious illness, and her family thought she couldn't live, who knew that she not only survived but also changed her temperament, and dared to take the name of her brother to participate in the imperial examination, which scared her family to flee overnight......"
So to be correct, Lin Wei is actually called Lin Ya, but for Lin Yuxiao, nothing can change the fact that she is going to die.
"You mean......" Li Mu's voice trembled a little, no matter how a person's temperament changes, it is impossible to change from not being able to read to chanting poems and lyrics, and he is also very beautiful, he was moved by those poems to leave Lin Wei behind, but now the more he thinks about it, the more creepy he feels, and he also asked her to accompany the prince!?
"I saw her corpse, it was indeed two years ago, but I don't know what method to use to let the walking dead survive for another two years, but it should have disappeared a long time ago, and the emperor doesn't have to mind too much." Lin Yuxiao's tone was relaxed, the traverser who broke into this world indiscriminately, if he survived honestly, he was so restless, then he had to send him away.
How could Li Mu not mind: "The matter in Mengzhou is just now, there is another incident in the palace, by the way, why is there a woman surnamed Liu everywhere, where did Yue Linfeng go?" Let him come back and get this woman away! ”
When the emperor doesn't think that Liu Yiyi has the ability to do these big things, he just thinks that this woman is ominous, and she is always there to blame the gods, and Yue Linfeng is such a good young talent, as a result, as soon as he meets Liu Yiyi, his temperament changes greatly, and he actually kills the emperor!
"Linfeng should be where my adoptive father is, probably something unexpected happened, so my adoptive father didn't elaborate." What happened, Lin Yuxiao really didn't know.
"Are you saying that for the sake of Yue Linfeng, my uncle even hid it from you?!" Li Mubi was even more surprised when he heard about Lin Wei.
"It's not a secret, it's not for sure, my adoptive father is a cautious man, and he won't tell me until the matter is conclusive...... Is it for my brother's reputation? Lin Yuxiao guessed.
For a woman who is so devastated that she is unfaithful and unjust, what reputation do you need? Li Mu only muttered in his heart when he said this, but now he still said the most important thing: "What about Lin Wei's matter?" What the hell is going on...... Do you say that it will be related to the case in Mengzhou City, and it will not be brought into the palace by a woman surnamed Liu...... Evil? ”
"Lin Wei's matter is really difficult to handle, really let the people from the Criminal Department investigate, I'm worried that they will also find that Lin Wei doesn't think about it again and again, this matter is ...... The best way is to find something else to distract the attention of the people in the palace, like Mengzhou, people, who have always been most concerned about the gains and losses of their own interests. ”
Lin Yuxiao frowned rarely, he was angry with the threat of human beings, especially hated the ignorant and arrogant face, so he made a move, because the other party had already died, he didn't have any scruples if he didn't kill people, but the dead actually came to annoy him!
"What can be done to distract the people in the palace? Do you have an idea? Seeing that Lin Yuxiao would actually frown, Li Mu's heart was even heavier.
"The biggest in the palace is the queen mother, the emperor and the queen, this matter can't make the queen mother worry, the queen is pregnant and shouldn't be alarmed, then it's only the emperor, do you think you are pampering a beauty who doesn't know the height of the sky, or from which minister in the court to get an unpleasant look into the palace?" The so-called major events in the palace have always changed with the emperor's favor, and Lin Yuxiao casually had an idea.
Li Mu didn't do it: "I hate things that don't know the height of the sky, and I don't want to touch those that don't like the eyes." "He was already very angry when he ascended the throne at a young age, why should he do it now?
"Then follow the emperor's convenience." Lin Yuxiao doesn't care, that's what he said.
“…… I really have a way, Ping'er is also old enough to get married, I want to choose a colt for her with great fanfare! Li Mu said very proudly.
"The princess won't agree...... She's better off making a fuss. Lin Yuxiao also smiled.
"I will reveal it to the concubines in the palace, as long as their mother's brothers and nephews can endure Princess Ping's bad temper, I will not only call him as a sister-in-law, but also give him an official position." The more Li Mu spoke, the more proud he became.
"It's really a good way...... Lin Yuxiao said sincerely, this time the palace must not be fully moved, what about the emperor's only sister, who marries is not the same as helping himself to fix his favor, I am afraid that even the queen will be tempted.
The ...... of the Queen's Mother Lin Yuxiao thought about it carefully, it seems that a single man of the right age is only Du Shaonan?
……
Du Shaonan took all the new people from the emperor of the East Palace to the crown prince, and escorted the little prince to the Empress Dowager Lin, facing the puzzled little prince, he could only spread his hands helplessly: "The emperor said that if the prince is hungry, go to Renshou Palace to eat again, as for why, please also ask the queen mother, or ask the emperor, it is inconvenient for the minister to say." ”
"Oh." The little prince really didn't ask, and he didn't have to have lunch before leaving, and sure enough, he was a child who grew up in the palace.
On the way to Renshou Palace, except for the wind was a little strong, the others were safe and sound, and then when they arrived at the Empress Dowager Lin, it was a few old ladies in the palace who came out to greet the little prince, and why was the Empress Dowager Lin not there, this does not need to be asked Everyone knows that Li Ping's crying, screaming, and smashing things are heard outside.
The little prince was not frightened, only curious: "Aunt Huang, what's the matter?" ”
Hearing the word "again", the corners of Du Shaonan and Renshou Palace's mouths couldn't help twitching, yes, Princess Ping has been making trouble every once in a while recently, you see how much even children are not surprised. (To be continued.) )>
