"Missed?"

Liu Hao's face sank when he heard the report of the spies who came back from Pei County.

The person who came bent down deeply and didn't dare to raise his head: "My subordinates saw with their own eyes that Xue Rui got into the carriage with a young woman, and it should be the one who sneaked into the restaurant two days ago." ”

Liu Hao's eyes sharpened: "The person is still alive, but what about the killer?" ”

"This man is gone."

"Gone?"

Listening to him whisper, the spout's legs were weak, and he knelt down, "The prince forgives the sin, the villain waited for them to leave, and then went into the restaurant to inquire, but those people were supervised by Xue Rui, and they were not allowed to go out of the house at night. ”

When Liu Hao heard this, his face looked a little better, although Yu Shu was not dead, but the murderer he arranged was caught by Xue Rui, as long as he searched for it, his people would confess Liu Yi, and when the time came, he was not afraid that Concubine Lu and his family would not have a grudge against the Xue family.

"Hmph," Liu Hao sneered, Liu Tan's smug face flashed in front of him, and he thought:

You are a hairy boy, don't you learn the Tao in the mountains, come back to Beijing to stir up troubled waters, think that there is a Xue Xiangfu behind you to rely on, do you dare to fight with me?

If I don't do it, I'll let the Lu family and the Xue family fight first, and sooner or later they will clean you up together.

"Alright, let's go down and do something."

"Yes, the villain is retiring."

Liu Hao was left alone in the corner of the garden, and he heard him talking to himself:

"Then how did Yu Shu escape this catastrophe. Maybe she calculated that she was going to kill herself? Hey, in this way, her death-breaking thaumaturgy is not like what she said to outsiders that she can only perform once a month, this person really can't stay, and she has to find another chance to get rid of it. ”

It was getting late, Liu Hao was in a good mood at this time, and when he went out of the garden, he met the maid sent by Princess Ning, and he didn't like it, but asked people to go back and spread the word. I'm going to rest in the upper room tonight.

This Princess Ning is a scholar. The temperament is a little wooden, and his person is only in the middle and upper posture, of course, he can't enter the eyes of Liu Hao, who has read countless people, so the husband and wife respect each other like guests. The number of times Liu Hao slept in the study. More than the number of times I had sex with her.

Princess Ning knew that Liu Hao was coming. Hurriedly dressed up and asked the kitchen to prepare the tonic for supper, she heard the wind two days ago. The mother-in-law of the concubine in the palace intended to show Liu Hao the side concubine, and she was in a hurry.

Thinking that she has only been in the door for three months, there is no news in her stomach, Ning Wangfu added someone to come in at this time, in case she likes the prince, and she has a good life, it is a top priority, it is urgent to quickly conceive a son and a half daughter, and sit firmly in the position of this princess.

This Princess Ning was hurriedly preparing, but she was caught off guard, and Liu Hao was tripped on the way.

"Lord, lord."

Hearing the call behind him, Liu Hao stood still, and turned his head to see the housekeeper in the front yard running over in a hurry.

Liu Hao frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"The palace and the palace sent people, just outside the gate, the sage ordered you to enter the palace."

Liu Hao's right eyelid jumped suddenly.

***

Before dawn, Yu Shu woke up, she was too tired when she came back yesterday, she didn't eat a bite of food, so she went to bed, and the maid called her twice for a long time, but she couldn't wake up.

As soon as Yu Shu woke up, he asked Xue Rui to tell him that he hadn't returned overnight, so he woke up, asked people to prepare hot water for a bath, and ate something casually, so he locked himself in the small study, and asked Fluttershy to stay outside the door and not disturb.

took the small green stove out, added the Daigo incense powder that He Fangzhi had tested into the bottom of the furnace, lit a box of green charcoal with five taels of silver on the lower layer, and waited until the smoke came out of the ding, smelling the refreshing fragrance, she rubbed her palms, and sat in front of the stove with three copper plates.

This hexagram was thrown for Xue Rui, and the thing he asked was whether his design of King Ning would go smoothly this time.

If you want to ask about the lawsuit, you must know the male and female Xiao in the lawsuit, Xue Rui, Liu Hao, Liu Yi's zodiac, Yu Shu is not difficult to know Lu Dao, dividing out the six-handed hexagram, loading it into the gossip, taking the descendants of the family, there is a murderous image, and then look at the eyes of the official ghost, the ghost thief launched.

Among the six masters, the ghost is a god, and it is also a monster, and the thief is a thief, but he can steal money, so the ghost thief launches, and when he encounters the right time and place, it is auspicious, and when he encounters a villain, he is a big murderer.

This hexagram came out with a result, and Yu Shu smiled.

Xue Rui can be a villain in this game, no matter which one Liu Hao and Liu Yi are, they can't please him.

In the end, it was a personal calculation, Yu Shu had a successful calculation, he was much more relieved, and he was no longer worried about Xue Rui's loss, and in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but feel pain when he saw the thin and faint smoke bundle in the furnace.

Originally, a pill of Daigo Xiangbu was a trivial matter, and it could be thrown two or three times, but it was broken by He Fangzhi, but she just divined a hexagram and it was gone.

It really doesn't stand up

The sun rose, and several figures wearing court clothes walked out of the Zhengyang Gate at the foot of the imperial city, not falling a few steps before and after, some old and some young.

A few people went out and stopped, and last night before and after the third watch, Xue Lingnan was announced to the imperial study, bowed his head to Guo Huai'an, the secretary of Dali Temple, and said:

"Chengbi, this kid is impulsive, fortunately with Jingming's control, he didn't get into trouble, thank you here."

Guo Huai'an and Xue Lingnan were both ministers of the dynasty, and they could be close friends, seeing this, they hurriedly helped him by the hand and said with a wry smile:

"My elder brother tormented me, Chengbi is also my junior, when it comes to such a major event, I naturally won't sit idly by, I am fortunate that the saint is wise and distinguishes between right and wrong. It's just that in the future, this case will be investigated by me, and you will have to take the lead. ”

Guo Huai'an entered the palace with Xue Rui overnight last night, and he was mentally prepared, this case really has to be investigated, and it has to fall on him.

Sure enough, after the emperor was angry, there was a confronting between the two princes, both of whom said that they were wronged, and the emperor slapped the table and spoke-

Check, Wei Qing, you check for me to the end, I want to see which unscrupulous rebel dares to assassinate my courtier!

"Don't worry."

Xue Lingnan agreed.

The three of them separated in front of Zhengyang Gate and got on the carriage and horse that came to pick them up.

No one else. Xue Lingnan's cold face eased down, glanced at Xue Rui, who was sitting quietly below, and said:

"It's a bit reckless, but you've done a good job."

Xue Lingnan is an old man, when he entered the palace last night, he only heard Xue Rui talk about things in front of the emperor, and he knew what was right and what was wrong.

"Ning Wangfu's Dead Soldier Brand, where did you get it?"

Xue Rui lowered his head and said, "When my grandson is traveling." Got it by accident. ”

Xue Lingnan heard that it was the past three years. I lost interest in asking more, stroked my beard, and said:

"Last month, the court proposed to establish a prince, and King Jing had some voices. King Ning pouted. This time he had a good calculation. I want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I see that he is a little anxious, and the saint has been in poor health recently. Although the spirit is a little weak, they will not be allowed to come, King Ning and the eleventh prince, no matter who is the most guilty, the saint will be more suspicious of them. As a result, the two turned against each other, and it was beneficial to King Jing. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and shook his head, not knowing what he remembered.

Xue Rui didn't say much, and the two ancestors and grandsons didn't talk about this matter anymore, not because they didn't care, but at this point, they didn't need to intervene too much.

When he was about to arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xue Lingnan spoke again, and asked casually:

"The righteous sister you recognized outside is the female operator who can tell the difference between life and death, find a day to bring back to the house, and let the old man see it."

Xue Rui's eyes flickered, and he raised his head, "Grandfather? ”

Xue Lingnan looked at him with two eyes, "That is, it is a righteous sister, naturally it is good to be righteous, when I have seen her character, I might as well recognize one more junior, let you burn and worship the three incense, and marry the brother and sister seriously." ”

Xue Rui looked stunned and nodded slowly, "I'll tell her when I turn around." ”

"Hmm."

Xue Lingnan retracted his gaze, pushed the carriage door, was helped out of the carriage by the butler waiting outside, and entered the gate with steady steps.

Xue Rui stayed in the car for a few more moments, pursed his lips, looked down at his arm wrapped in thick gauze, and the corners of his mouth gradually revealed a sarcastic arc.

***

Xue Rui changed his clothes at home, and then went to the Wangji Building, just past lunch.

Today is cloudy and cool, Yu Shu is sitting on a recliner in the courtyard reading the account book, and when he saw him walk in, he put down the abacus in his hand and looked at him with a smile:

"Are things going well?"

Xue Rui nodded, walked over and sat down beside her.

"Then why are you upset?"

Xue Rui turned his head to look at her, "Where did I see that I was unhappy?" ”

Yu Shu raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, poked out a finger, lightly touched his forehead, then his nose, and the last point of his chin, and said:

"Here, here, and here."

Seeing that she counted his whole face, Xue Rui couldn't help laughing, and his expression suddenly relaxed:

"It's just that I'm tired, so how can I be unhappy. Did you have a good rest and lunch last night? ”

Yu Shu shook his head, "I didn't eat, wait for you, the food is hot, I guess you're busy until now, you definitely don't have time to eat." ”

Xue Rui's smile became more and more obvious, and there was no one else in the courtyard, so he raised his hand and pinched her chin, shook it, and said:

"Good girl, it's not in vain that big brother loves you."

Yu Shu slapped his hand away, rolled his eyes and stood up, tugged at his right sleeve, and walked into the house:

"I asked people to grab the medicine, and you can drink the medicine for me after eating later, don't be bitter."

Xue Rui looked at the back of her head with ambiguous eyes, and replied softly.

***

After eating, Yu Shu stared at Xue Rui and drank the medicine, and was a little disappointed when he saw that he frowned without blinking.

She made this medicine fry early in the morning, she tasted a good thing beforehand, it was bitter to death, and she still wanted to see Xue Rui's embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Xue Rui didn't know what Yu Shu was doing in his heart, and when he saw that she was staring at him intently, he just thought something was wrong.

"I see if you've finished drinking," Yu Shu took the medicine bowl, put it aside, and poured another cup of tea for him to rinse his mouth.

When the two of them are alone, they usually have to talk about unknown things in private, and there is usually no one to serve.

After a few times, she did these things of serving tea and pouring water, and it was also easy.

"Let's talk about it, you entered the palace last night to resume your life, what did the emperor say?"

Xue Rui smashed the bitter taste in his mouth and told her:

Last night, he went to invite Guo Huai'an to enter the palace to face the saint together, and his statement in front of the emperor was consistent with what he said to Guo Huai'an, but the last to hand over the two pieces of evidence was Dali Siqing, who has always been famous for his iron-faced selflessness.

The emperor's anger can be imagined, one is the courtier who was tragically murdered, and the other is the scheming son, no matter which son did this, he can't tolerate it.

"Actually, I guess there is another reason why the Holy One has such a big temper is you." Xue Rui said, he deliberately pointed out in front of the emperor that Yu Shu was targeted by the murderer.

Yu Shu blinked his eyes, understood, and sneered: "No, if I, a lifebreaker who is vital to the world, die, don't say that a prince can't afford to bear the guilt, even if he is a prince, he has to get off the ground." ”

This is true, but it is not her who is expensive, but Jingchen, the big troublemaker.

Liu Hao miscalculated this time, he wanted to get rid of her, but he didn't know that her life was not what he wanted.

"What did King Ning say?" Yu Shu asked again.

"He, of course, won't admit it, and as for Liu Yi, he feels even more wronged," Xue Rui looked playful, "It's a pity that you weren't on the spot, and you didn't see the scene of the two of them arguing." ”

King Ning and the eleventh prince were temporarily called into the palace, completely unaware of the catastrophe coming, when the emperor threw the secret letter and the dead soldier's waist card in the faces of the two, they were stunned on the spot.

Liu Yi was really dumbfounded, but Liu Hao was panicked, the former was confused, but the latter understood.

"The emperor asked about the crime, and both of them insisted that they didn't do it themselves, at first King Ning pretended to be pretentious, and blamed someone to frame them, but Liu Yi didn't appreciate it, and when he saw that he was burned, he pointed at King Ning and questioned, stirring up nonsense, saying that he killed Zhou Qi."

Xue Rui expected that there was no difference, and the catastrophe was coming, and the husband and wife had to separate themselves to protect themselves, not to mention the royal brothers.

Thinking of Liu Yi pointing at King Ning's nose in the imperial study, righteously accusing King Ning's blushing face, Xue Rui felt ridiculous.

"Last night, Liu Yi entered the palace alone, and he couldn't turn around for a while, only to know that Lu Dao was wise to protect himself, and when he went back, he told Concubine Lu that there were many people who used their brains for him, I think at this time, he should have thought that Liu Hao framed him, and he couldn't wait to find Liu Hao to fight hard."

Don't forget that the cause of the whole incident is that the emperor wants to investigate the details of Lu Buhuan, the governor of Liangguang, and weaken the Lu family's local power.

Now that the matter is getting bigger, it just gives the emperor an excuse, if Liu Yi bears this crime, he will definitely be involved in Lu Buhuan in the end, and the Lu family will be full of trouble.

On the other hand, Liu Hao lost his trust in front of the emperor, and his brothers were not harmonious, even if he was lucky to get out of the favor, he would damage his vitality.

"Ha, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and these two people are not good birds." Yu Shu gloated.

Xue Rui glanced at her, a little strange, and asked, "King Ning, but I don't know, when did Liu Yi provoke you to lose such a temper?" ”

He didn't know that Liu Yi sneaked into Yu Shu's resting room at the Shuangyang Meeting, and tried to misbehave, but was beaten and intimidated by Yu Shu.

"Uh," Yu Shu choked, pretending to be innocent, "As far as his virtue, I don't think he likes it?" ”

Not noticing that her evasive expression had fallen into Xue Rui's eyes, let him pay attention, and when he turned around, there was another branch.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Xue Rui waited for Yu Shu's happiness to pass, and then knocked on the coffee table, considered his words, and told her with a complicated expression:

"My grandfather wants to see you." (To be continued......)
