Chapter 352: Solving the Case
Li Siben only cared about Ying Zheng's reaction, and at this time, he heard Ying Zheng's clear intentions, and even ignored her expressions, and spoke directly. 【Book by】
"There are hundreds of cats needed in the palace, and among them, sixty-seven are black or gray, which are not easy to see at night. In order to catch mice, most of them are not kept in captivity, and the cat scratch marks are not very clear, so it is difficult to find out which cat did it. ”
Li Si denied the clue that he started with the cat, and then the clue of gauze.
"This piece of gauze is a hand-spun muslin cloth, often used to wipe the utensils of the house, whether it is the palace or the attendants of the bureaus, it is common to exist, so there is no way to find the source."
The evidence seemed to have reached a dead end, and he did not finish his conclusion, and continued to talk about the clues that he had denied.
"The old minister asked General Meng Yi for help, and interrogated and questioned the servants and their attendants who went out last night in each palace, and there is no major progress at present, and the investigation is still being pursued."
Ying Zheng was not satisfied with this result, because of the wind and snow, the clues were all broken, and it seemed that progress could only be made through the mutual identification of the people who had gone out, but in this way, the result would be subjective and slow, and the error was extremely high, so he pondered the facts of the case and was at a loss.
I turned my eyes to look at the princesses around me, and I quite agreed with what Li Si said that someone was preventing the prince from spreading his leaves, Hu Hai, as the youngest son of Yingzheng at present, was more than six years old, and no prince or princess had been born in six or seven years, which was indeed an amazing thing in the palace.
If it is said that Yingzheng is not young, rarely has the ability to have children, and he has been busy with government affairs for a long time, it can still be explained, but now Suo Yi is pregnant with Liujia and has been carefully cared for, but he was suddenly scared by a cat and the fetus is difficult to protect, it is too much to say.
Who could it be, in this palace, it seems that everyone is deeply in love with Yingzheng, who doesn't want Yingzheng to have more of his own children? It's the princesses who have given birth. Or the princesses who have never been conceived?
The so-called unpredictable human heart, I looked at it one by one, and from the faces of these people with very different expressions, it was really difficult to see who had bad intentions.
This bad guess was confirmed. Ying Zheng must be very sad in his heart, he hopes so much that his palace will be harmonious and full of virtuous and beautiful women who will prosper together, but there are people who will even harm his children, such a cruel thing appears in what he thinks is the softest pure land in his heart, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get rid of this pain in this life.
I focused my eyes on the solemn expression of Ying Zheng's eyebrows, and felt heartache for his troubled life.
"Your Majesty," my hoarse voice was like a heavy stone on the ground, and everyone in the hall was amazed when they struck it, and their eyes were projected, and I was shocked when I looked at it. But I was surprised by my own voice, and I still wanted to say: "The slave concubine heard the ancient legend that cats have nine lives, and their lives are difficult to give up, so they want to eliminate their comprehensive beauty." The essence of sunlight is injected into the body by heaven and earth, and it is fluorescent with leakage.
Every night, the cat's urine will glow brightly, as a way to shave its comprehensive beauty, and expose its whereabouts to the outside world, so the concubine thought..."
My voice growing as I hesitated to speak. Although it was gentle, it struck the hearts of all the people in the temple like a falling stone, and they looked at it, and I could not say any more.
Li Si was surprised by my remarks (in his opinion, I did it), and he did not expect that I would take the initiative. But he immediately lowered his eyebrows and pondered, because what he wanted to do was not to give me advice, but to solve the serious case handed over by Yingzheng.
Li Si Mingrui, he soon became enlightened and offered his strategy to Ying Zhengjin.
"Your Majesty. The old minister asked for orders to search the clothes worn by the palace people last night, and asked the king for permission. ”
The weather is cold, the frequency of changing clothes is very low, and the ladies of the palace have been invited to the Ripple Mansion very early, and there has been no news, and they will not wash their clothes so step-by-step.
As long as you put away the clothes of the palace people and check in a dark place, you can quickly find people who have hugged cats and got cat urine or saliva on them, which is a good way to narrow down the range.
Ying Zheng glanced at me without knowing what it meant, and unexpectedly rejected Li Si's request.
"It's just a cat, it's too much to check, it's better to do this, all the concubines will return to the palace at this time, and order the maids of the palace to gather the clothes they wore last night and hand them over to the Huan Washing Bureau for centralized washing."
Ying Zheng gave an order, without waiting for everyone to react, when even the clapper got up, he walked out without warning when he passed me.
"Lis, do as the widow wants." He left a message as he spoke.
Out of the main hall, out of the Ripple House, he didn't let go, didn't go to the Qiongyang Palace or Qixi Palace, he just stopped in a secluded corner of the rockery, pressed me against the stone wall, supported my hands on both sides, and stared straight at me.
I was extremely uncomfortable with him, watching the guards and inner guards who turned their backs to guard the secluded area because of his existence, and nervously grabbed the brocade robe with two sleeves.
Reaching out close to me, after my head and neck had retreated to the stone wall, Ying Zhengcai mischievously moved close to my ear, tearing and sniffing behind my ear.
"Why don't you watch from the sidelines and intervene?" He asked.
The hot and humid breath from his mouth spread to my skin, stirring my heart.
My throat was so dry that there was no saliva, and I tried to gather some thinking skills and answered Ying Zheng's question.
"The slave concubine seems to be suspicious, and if she says it, it is better to clarify her innocence earlier."
"You mean," he asked, hoarsely as he moved his body from his lower limbs up to me, his lips moving from my neck to between my lips, "are you angry that no one doubts you?" ”
Of course I was angry, but because he was so surrounded by breath, I lost blood in my brain and couldn't breathe.
"How dare a concubine?" I looked down at it, not knowing how to get rid of the agitation in my heart.
His shoulders suddenly squeezed down, and his lips pressed close to mine, but they didn't press, just seemed to touch them when they squirmed.
"I don't dare."
His fiery gaze was about to burn the same presumptuousness, and when the cold stone wall behind me was about to heat up, it could be regarded as an evil smile and leaned back.
"Widows hate smart women, but at this time, you are too stupid."
Away from a distance, Ying Zheng and I looked much more normal, he stared at me clinging to the stone wall for a while, then turned around and opened his mouth.
"Let's go, follow the widow to see the good show you directed."
What kind of drama did I direct? When did I become the director of this show?
I was curious, but I didn't care if I wanted to or not, Yingzheng said it, and I was going to follow, fortunately, I was also thinking about keeping a distance from him at this time.
Li Si didn't know when he stood outside the edge guarded by the guards, he saw Yingzheng appear, and hurriedly greeted him, but when he saw me, he changed his impatient demeanor to a desire to speak.
There must be something important to say, but I can't say it here, I thought so in my heart, and was about to retreat to give them some space to be alone, but Ying Zheng stopped my legs.
"It's okay, say."
Liston paused, raised his eyes to look at Yingzheng who was staring at him, and replied in a low voice.
"Please be angry with the king, yes," he said, taking a deep breath, his legs and feet bent slightly, ready to kneel at any time, "Wangyi Palace." ”
Wangyi Palace? What is Wangyi Palace, could it be that they have other actions besides waiting for the night to deal with this matter? Curious, I looked at Ying Zheng's reaction.
Zheng's face was gloomy, almost gloomy, his eagle-like gaze seemed to have dropped to the temperature of a thousand years of ice, and the look of looking forward made people feel piercing cold.
This cold air, even if I was four or five steps away from him, was like a piercing feeling.
It's been a long time, no, it's been a long, long time when I didn't dare to move, and when Li Si, who was slightly bent, couldn't hold on to it and fell to his knees, Yingzheng finally reacted.
"The widow has said that it is not permissible to wronged a good man."
His timbre seemed to be a sudden change of ten years old in an instant, and my heart trembled and my heart ached when I heard it. Could it be that Ying Zheng and Li Si have other plans and have found out the culprit of this matter, and the evidence at this time points to Wangyi Palace?
Looking at Ying Zheng's expression and Li Si's attitude, it should be.
"The old minister doesn't dare to say anything, whether it is true or not, please ask the king to decide."
Li Si was worried about Yingzheng's reaction, which had nothing to do with the outcome of the case.
Looking up at the sky, Ying Zheng only showed the world his majestic and slightly lonely majesty, and the rest was only seen by the sky.
I stood with him for a while, and I couldn't bear to see him quietly approaching him when he was lonely, and holding his hand when he was lost.
I wanted to speak out to relieve his scourge and doubts, but unexpectedly, it added even more upset to him.
"Go to Wangyi Palace."
He lowered his head, wrapped his hand around me, and paced towards Wangyi Palace.
No one spoke, no one stopped, and everyone could feel the collapse of Yingzheng on the verge of the border, so everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was unified.
This section of the journey to Wangyi Palace was probably the most difficult and uneasy that everyone had ever been to.
There are few guards lined up outside the palace of Wangyi Palace, Meng Yigang is standing at the gate of the palace with his body straight, and when he sees Yingzheng coming, he shifts and hands him over.
Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to enter, he looked at the three big characters "Wangyi Palace" on the gate of the palace, and was instantly speechless, and stared for a long time.
As early as when I was in Qi, I heard Lin Jixiang say that Zhao Wu had the feelings of accompanying Ying Zheng through the pain of losing his mother, and after coming to the Qin Palace, I repeatedly saw Zhao Wu's flying and domineering and Ying Zheng's love for Hu Hai, I think, at this time, Ying Zheng's sadness must be heavier than I imagined.
