Chapter 454: Tell a story to the prince
After all, it's not the first time I've come, and I'm no stranger to Yiqiē on the road. Nie Shuyao walked towards Kunning Palace under the leadership of the palace maid.
The queen didn't ask for it, and she didn't wear a command gown. Walking on the road to the palace with a relaxed look, from time to time you can also glance at the surrounding furnishings.
Nie Shuyao knew that Bizhu was the queen's person, so he brought her here, presumably the queen also figured out guò for her to understand the situation outside.
Since you can't let Pang Guifei's child be the crown prince, you have to support the eldest prince. Judging from Nie Shuyao's observation as a detective for many years, the eldest prince is not stupid, but very smart.
Maybe the queen asked him to do this, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to save his life. Because they don't have a powerful foreigner, as long as they are alive, there is hope.
However, Nie Shuyao still has a bold guess, she doesn't think that Queen Xia has the wisdom to keep the two children. This is likely to be the handiwork of the Empress Dowager Zhang.
The means of overt indulgence and covert support are also very suitable for the current form. And in such an environment, it is very good to train people, not to mention that this person is a person who is likely to take over the throne, and he must have strong perseverance.
Nie Shuyao felt that this was made by Empress Dowager Zhang, and if it was her, she might have done it.
In the midst of his thoughts, Kunning Palace has arrived.
Empress Xia was waiting there early, and beside her were the two princes, and they looked pretty good.
After Nie Shuyao gave her a big salute, she bowed down and said, "I don't know what the queen's mother ordered when she summoned her courtiers." ”
Empress Xia said with a smile: "Mrs. Wudinghou doesn't have to be formal, I invited Mrs. here today to let Mrs. accompany the palace to talk." There have always been relatively few people around Hongu. There are few people who can talk to the palace, and I always feel bored these days, and I want to find my wife to accompany the palace to relieve my boredom. ”
The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth twitched. This is really not a good reason, the point is that it is difficult for me to excuse myself. Speak? Hehe, this is hard to kill her.
While Nie Shuyao was thinking, the second prince Zhu Xian said, "Mrs. Wudinghou tells us about the cases you usually solve." ”
Nie Shuyao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "How does the second prince know that the courtiers have solved the case?" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the eldest prince Zhu Cong and found that his eyes were no longer godless, but looking at him with a blazing look. So Nie Shuyao was even more determined.
Empress Xia answered: "This kid doesn't know which slave to hear about Lord Wu. I thought of Madame. At the beginning, Cong'er's jade pendant was found by his wife. ”
Speaking of this, Nie Shuyao couldn't help but know what was wrong, so he sat on the brocade stool brought by the little palace maid and slowly talked about a small case. Empress Xia saw her tell the story and left.
It's a little story she's seen from books before. With a slight change, it is also colorful.
It was said that it was a theft, and after investigation, it was found that the neighbor of the stolen person was very suspicious. The catchers spied on the neighbor. At night, the neighbor secretly went out with a package on his back. And they followed him. There were a few times when it was a bit lost.
Fortunately, it happened to be raining lightly that afternoon, and when I followed the footprints to the edge of the cliff in the suburbs, I heard a scream, and then found a cloth shoe in front of the cliff. The tip of the shoe was facing the cliff, and although the footprints on the ground were messy, the weeds on the ground were falling towards the cliff.
The catchers thought that the thief might have accidentally fallen off the cliff in the dark, and that he had fallen off the cliff with the stolen money, so they wanted to go back to his life. But the headcatcher didn't think so. He told the catchers to go back to rest, and he hid in the shadows and stared at the cliff by himself.
Speaking of which. Nie Shuyao asked, "Does the second prince think this head-catching is right?" Did he catch the thief? ”
Zhu Xian frowned and said, "Since Madam said so, then the head hunt must be right." Otherwise, the husband wouldn't have asked that, but why did he think the thief would come out? ”
Nie Shuyao was immediately impressed by this eight- or nine-year-old child, and asked, "How did the second prince know that the head catcher was waiting for the thief here?" ”
"Feeling." Zhu Xian pouted, frowning and trying to think.
Nie Shuyao looked at Zhu Cong and said, "What does the eldest prince think?" ”
She didn't take him for a fool, and her eyes and tone never leaned on it, just as he was a normal person like herself.
Zhu Cong's eyes lit up, he glanced around, and said softly: "It's a shoe, only one is not to say, and the tip of the shoe is still facing the cliff, which is too strange." When people run, even if they fall off, their shoes will not fall so accurately. ”
"Well, good, that's a point." Nie Shuyao nodded approvingly: "Another point is that the thief is chasing after him, and the thief also knows it, otherwise he wouldn't have almost lost it." But how could a man who was in a hurry to gallop linger on the edge of a cliff? If you don't linger, the footprints on the edge of the cliff won't be messy. If the steps are messy, the grass will not fall to the side, and it is obvious that these are artificial, intended to confuse the judgment of catching fast. ”
Zhu Cong pursed his lips and smiled, feeling a little warm in his heart. In addition to the queen mother, this is the first time I have heard someone boast about herself!
Zhu Xian nodded and asked, "What happened later?" ”
Nie Shuyao revealed the answer, "After the catchers walked for half an hour, the thief climbed out of the cliff, he had a rope tied to him, and the package was still on his back. When the head catcher arrested him, he stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down carefully, and by the moonlight he saw a very inconspicuous crooked neck tree in the middle of the cliff, and a rope on it. Do you understand? ”
The two princes also suddenly realized, and nodded one after another, "Understood." ”
After the detective story was told, Nie Shuyao also saw Bizhu, who disappeared as soon as she entered Kunning Palace, and the queen also returned. I thought, "When their business is done, it's time for me to leave the palace." ”
However, Zhu Xian was still unsatisfied, and said, "Mrs. Wu Dinghou, tell us a small case again." It's fun to solve a crime. ”
Nie Shuyao saw the desire in their eyes, and felt a little pity in his heart, like they were born in the deep palace, and they didn't know if they had ever been out of this high wall, let alone play crazy like ordinary children.
Then he said, "That's it, that's all for today." Another day, I will write some short stories and draw some good-looking cartoons, and the second prince only needs to send someone to Wuding Houfu regularly to get them. In this way, it also saves the courtiers from running this way, and it can be regarded as helping the courtiers. The second prince doesn't know, the courtiers still have a baby at home, and they can't leave it for a moment. ”
The second prince is also a kind child, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll send someone to the house to get it in three days?" ”
"Okay." Nie Shuyao happened to be free during this time, so he could write a few small cases to test them, and he could also draw the One Piece.
Subsequently, Nie Shuyao left Kunning Palace by the way.
I thought that I would leave the palace so directly, but I didn't expect to see Pang Yujuan with a smile on her face as soon as I left Kunning Palace.
She stepped forward and took Nie Shuyao's hand and said, "I knew that you came here, and my aunt wanted to see you!" (To be continued......)
