Chapter 7 The Emperor's illegitimate son is killed by design
Just when Qi Sheng's heart was slightly shaken, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
"Lord, the woman who claimed to be the princess's maid is shouting outside to see the princess again."
The moon pinched the faint voice and floated in through the paper window, gently and softly.
The silver needles on Qi Sheng's cuffs were quietly taken back. A pair of bright eyes glanced at Ye Cao tightly, a little weak.
Ye Cao's bony palm gently pressed Qi Sheng's cuffs, and said with a smile, "What? The little lady is in a hurry, and she wants to murder her husband? Ye Cao always likes to be close to Qi Sheng's cheek and speak in a low voice behind her ear. followed closely, skillfully grabbed Qi Sheng's shoulder, leaned lazily on the edge of the couch, and his milky white clothes swayed gently. He added: "Call this little maid in and tell her that her master is awake." ”
Qi Sheng, who was cold by nature and not easy to approach, had already been in chaos in front of Ye Cao repeatedly. was teased by Ye Cao, and his little face turned red.
"Miss, miss." It took only half a cup of tea to comb her sideburns and a little girl in a pale yellow Suzhou embroidered skirt who hurriedly ran into the cabinet, panting heavily, and calling out to her young lady in her mouth, her tone was full of hurry and panic.
"Peach blossoms." Qi Sheng hadn't seen anyone yet, and when he heard it, he knew that this was the little girl from Peach Blossom. Raising his eyes again, Qi Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, and there was a rare joy between his eyebrows.
Because, Peach Blossom must have come to tell her father the news.
Qi Sheng gently broke away from Ye Cao's embrace, and hurriedly got up and dragged his body to welcome Peach Blossom in.
"How?" Qi Sheng's eyes were faint, and his voice was low and cold. Restored to an invincible arrogance. The deep eyes stared at the peach blossom faintly, and the slender fingers supported her.
What does it mean to father, how is everything going? Now Ye Cao's companion is inconvenient to speak too much, so he can only be vague.
This little girl is very clever.
Peach Blossom looked at Qi Sheng's eyes and knew that what her young lady meant was that there were some things to say and some things not to say. Qi Sheng, who was in the dark in the officialdom of the imperial court, told her that if she insisted on following the pavilion master, that is, Qi Sheng, if she said too much, she would die.
"Su Bai tried to take the head of the family to prison, but there was a murder in the Bamboo Crane Tower, and the matter was stopped for the time being, and Peach Blossom didn't know if Su Bai had escorted the head of the family back to Beijing, but it was certain that Su Bai and the others were set in the Bamboo Crane Tower at this time." Peach Blossom lowered her head slightly, and her eyes only dared to fall on her young lady's body. Thinking about it in his heart, Ye Cao really deserves to be the world-famous prince of Huainan, and his aura makes people dare not approach at all, which is not the slightest difference from the rumors. Especially with this beautiful face, it is no wonder that so many daughters of court ministers who have just reached the court want their father to ask the emperor for marriage.
"Yuexi, prepare horses, bamboo crane tower." Before Qi Sheng could make any plans, Ye Cao spoke up. A deep, deep voice reached the door.
-Bamboo Crane Tower-
When Qi Sheng, Ye Cao and his party arrived at the Bamboo Crane Tower, this place had been sealed and impassable. All exits are sealed, and the people inside the Bamboo Crane Tower can't get out, and the people outside can't get out. The boundary of the Bamboo Crane Tower itself is remote, and it was dark when Qi Sheng Ye Cao arrived. Taking advantage of the atmosphere at the scene of this murder, it was originally lively and noisy, but this place seemed to be infiltrating.
If it was an ordinary murder case, there would not have been such a big movement, let alone alarm Jinyiwei to come to solve the case for him. But I heard that this deceased is the illegitimate son of the current emperor, and although he is a dragon fetus, he cannot be called a prince. His mother was just a prostitute in Qinglou, and the emperor was born with a romantic personality before he ascended the throne, but he wandered everywhere but refused to give this woman a name. So his mother Zhao was so angry that she committed suicide, leaving her toothy child to live alone. Emperor Xu was also a little unbearable about this, and after knowing about this incident, he hurriedly passed the book to Su Bai and asked him to investigate the matter.
said that the emperor was affectionate, but after the death of Zhao, he did not take the child to his side to raise him, but let him live. If the emperor is ruthless, he wants to find the real murderer for his son.
Maybe he has his own helplessness and helplessness.
"The crime is serious, and idlers are not allowed to enter."
As soon as he got off the carriage, he was stopped by a group of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives at their waists. The Jinyi guard led by him showed displeasure, this group of people, only he had a different color of flying fish suit. So this is their leader?
Qi Sheng pushed away the embroidered spring knife on his neck with his white palm, and his eyes gradually became cold. "Take us to see Su Bai." It's still a cold voice, without the slightest emotion. Dressed in white, she was surrounded by an aura that was difficult to approach. The silver needles on the cuffs had long been unbearable, and they showed their heads slightly, and they were pinched by Qi Sheng on their wrists. As long as these brocade guards have the slightest murderous intent, Qi Sheng will definitely make them die unconsciously.
Ye Cao looked at Qi Sheng, who was full of vigilance, with some surprise, and thought to herself that she seemed to be a little impulsive.
"Commander Su, but you people can easily see it?" The Jinyi guard who was the leader looked Qi Sheng and Ye Cao up and down with disdain, and his eyes seemed to say that these noble sons were too incompetent to have fun to provoke Jinyiwei.
"Whoosh." Qi Sheng's wrist secretly exerted force, and the silver needle shot behind the ear of the Jinyi guard led by the slight rotation of his wrist, and only Ye Cao beside him noticed this unusualness.
With a "bang", the Jinyi guard led by him suddenly fell. Qi Sheng stepped forward and neatly pulled out the embroidered spring knife on the waist of the fallen man and pressed it against his neck. Without the slightest emotion, he said: "If you don't take us to see Su Bai, I will kill this one first, and then chop you up alive one by one." ”
is obviously harmless to humans and animals, but it is not against the harmony at all when he puts cruel words. On the contrary, it makes people afraid of the aura around her.
