Princess Wukang's expression froze, and she said, "What? She is from your palace? Then do you know why she drowned?"

A chill swelled in the heart of Princess Wu County, and Wu Kang's dark eyes, which were still dark, were scorching and terrifying for a moment, like a sharp cold out of the sheath, as if she had changed someone, which made people feel chilled in their hearts.

So he forced himself to calm down and said: "Joke, how do I know why she drowned, maybe she accidentally fell into the water, or maybe she committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake with depression!"

"My sister is pushing everything at this time, and she really knows so little!"

Princess Wukang said fiercely, but she was panicked in her heart, now the only clue is broken, although Chu Xia is a person in the palace of Princess Wu County, but there is no evidence that the poisoning in early summer was instructed by Princess Wu County, so it is okay to take her at this time!

"If someone lives in the harem, it can be handed over to Dali Temple, and it is inconvenient for this princess to interfere. Third sister, if it's okay, my sister will take the first step, the begging ceremony has begun, if you are absent without authorization, my father will blame it, and I can't afford it. Besides, tonight's needle-threading skills also need to be prepared, and then we will compete again, hum!"

After the princess of Wu County finished speaking, accompanied by all the maidservants, she walked away.

"It's hateful, it's still a step too late, the witness was murdered, and now it's getting harder and harder to catch the real murderer!"

Princess Wukang looked at the distant figure of Princess Wuxian and stomped her feet in anger.

Li Ji smacked his lips and said, "Princess, I think there must be something strange in it, it doesn't seem to be that simple!"

Princess Wukang shook her head and said: "The eldest princess will not appear sooner or later, just when we are about to seize the early summer, she will appear inexplicably, I think it must be the eldest princess's doing, but now there is no evidence, and there is nothing to do about her!

Li Ji's opinion is the opposite of Princess Wukang: "Although she appeared at the scene of the crime, it does not prove that she is a murderer, and she is not stupid enough to ask someone in her palace to poison her, and after the defeat, she is killing her, isn't this trying to cover up?"

But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of a better way, so I had to give up, and it was better for me to be less in the palace, so I hugged my fists and said: "Princess, if there is nothing else, I should also leave the palace, don't do it!"

"You can't go!"

"Why?"

"You...... What has not been fulfilled in the promise to help Princess Ben?"

"Then tell me, what the hell is going on, I'll do it for you right now!"

"Princess Ben didn't expect ...... yet"

Li Ji was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he always felt that Princess Wukang was purely happy with him.

"I won't talk to you more, there are still many things to do in the begging ceremony, and we can't stay here too long, let's go back to the 'needle building' together and think about it in the long run!"

Princess Wukang whispered a few words to the golden sword guard Tian Anqi, and then said: "Tian guard, you bring more people to protect the scene and deal with it properly, and after the begging ceremony is over, this princess will show her father and investigate the case thoroughly." ”

Tian Anqi solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Yes, princess, the villain must protect the scene!"

Li Ji followed Princess Wukang from the back garden back to the "needle floor", the road is quiet, around the rockery, through the path, to the Tianchi Lake, the pool is covered with lotus leaves, the dew on the lotus leaves under the sun is flickering, such as Tingting girl standing on the water, the breeze blows, the lotus leaves shake gently.

With such a beautiful view, Li Ji couldn't help but secretly sigh: "If it weren't for the palace maid drowning here, or being in prison and unable to get out, how refreshing and pleasant this scene would be at this time......

Li Ji followed behind Princess Wukang, although he was unshackled, he felt that he was restrained by her all the time, and he had no freedom, and he couldn't help but be interested in the beautiful scenery in front of him, and only thought about how to leave the palace.

Princess Wukang suddenly whispered in his ear: "In this forbidden place of the palace, the rules and precepts are clear, and if you are not careful, you will be killed at every turn." Your identity must be top secret, otherwise once exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. In order to avoid people's eyes, I am now the personal eunuch of this princess for the time being, and my daily food, clothing, housing and transportation are all with me!"

Li Ji listened to her words, not like he was alarmist, and secretly said: The palace is intrigued, deceitful, and there are many taboos, which are unguardable. For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to pretend to be a eunuch and always accompany Princess Wukang, otherwise if you are caught by the palace guards, don't say that your life is not guaranteed, and I am afraid that the head of Xiang Shangshang will not be guaranteed, and then it will be a big trouble!"

After thinking about it, he couldn't help sweating and said, "Everything is arranged by the princess!"

On Xingyue Island on the shore of Tianchi Lake, next to the pavilion with carved railings and jade buildings, there is a white figure sitting quietly, which is particularly eye-catching in the lake and mountains.

Faintly, there was the ethereal sound of the cave flute, and the water flowed slowly, revealing an indescribable knot, and the wisps floated inadvertently.

Don't think about it, you can also know that the sound of this flute comes from the hole flute of the white figure.

Princess Wukang suddenly stopped to listen, smiled, and waved her hand to signal the guards to support the boat over.

Someone had already led a few small boats over, and the boats passed through the lotus leaves on the lake, and soon arrived at Xingyue Island.

Xingyue Island is a small island in the center of Tianchi Lake in the back garden of the palace, which is usually inaccessible.

When Li Ji saw it, the scenery here was unique, with bamboo flowers and trees, as well as rockery bluestone. A few weeping willows fluttered in the wind, as if dancing gracefully, gently swaying the soft swaying of the technique.

Under a weeping willow, the white figure sat quietly on the boulder by the lake, holding the hole flute in his hand, and was playing leisurely.

The cave flute is gentle and tactful, like the natural charm of flowing clouds and flowing water, which seems to contain all the thoughts and affection in this flute, and the rustling sound of the breeze is intertwined into a graceful song.

A moon-white dress embroidered with cloud patterns fluttered in the wind, and she sat casually, her whole figure looking a little hazy.

"You guys, wait here!" Princess Wukang said in a coquettish voice, her voice as crisp as a yellow warbler's coquettishness.

She left Li Ji and the guards, maids and others, walked through the flowers alone, and walked straight towards the white figure.

Standing still in front of her, a pair of crystal eyes looked at her carefully, and listened quietly, as if he didn't want to alarm everything.

The sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and Princess Wukang applauded and said: "The princess is so Yaxing! The sound of the flute is melodious and tactful, ethereal and ethereal, but it faintly contains a bit of the sound of swords and halberds, mixed with the fragrance of lotus flowers, which is refreshing, it is really amazing!"

The woman stood up and said with a smile: "Giggles, Wu Kang, you are a naughty mischievous again, you finally found such a quiet place, and you were disturbed by your life!"

"What the princess said is wrong! This princess is strolling and admiring the flowers, who would have thought that the sound of the flute would come across the air and disturb the quiet, so she followed the sound, it turned out that the princess was playing here, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could I easily miss it? hehe!"

Your Majesty has spoiled you too much, and now you are becoming more and more lawless. ”

Princess Wukang suddenly approached the woman, stretched out her hands and rubbed against her, scratching her armpits, itching so much that she couldn't stand it, giggling and laughing, and the two suddenly frolicked among the flowers by the pavilion.

Li Ji stood quietly aside, and suddenly a white shadow flashed, full of collisions, unable to dodge, stumbled under his feet, and subconsciously reached out to support the woman in white who bent forward.

When I looked closely, the woman in white who played the hole flute was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a crescent moon bun and a plum blossom hosta, and although the makeup was grand, it was not elegant. The skin is as clear as snow, and there is a natural depressive charm between the eyebrows. Although it is not beautiful, but that kind of elegant and weak beauty, people see it, and there is a secret pity in their hearts.

"Be bold, don't kneel down when you see the princess!"

The personal maid on the side let out a panicked scream, and Li Ji glanced behind him, only to see that everyone had already knelt on the ground.

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave little Li Zi has seen the princess!"

When the princess saw the young and handsome Li Ji at first glance, her air was lofty, her ears were slightly red, she was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that it was a little eunuch, she immediately came back to her senses, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Princess Wukang, turned around and said softly: "Although Wukang and I are elders, we are of the same age, and we have always been good friends, and we really have sisterhood, you don't have to be polite, just be even!"

"Princess Xie!"

Princess Wukang smiled and bent over, and said, "Sister Wang Yao, she is really gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable!"

"It's like you, it's just a lawless wild girl!" After a pause, the woman in white named Wang Yao said again, "This year, you must be determined to win the needle!"

"How dare you? With Sister Wang Yao here, how can I have a place to stay!"

Your mother is the daughter of the Zhangjia family of Suzhou Longmen, the first embroidery village in the world, embroidered all over the world, the pattern is beautiful, the idea is ingenious, the embroidery work is meticulous, the color is elegant, it can be described as a must in the south of the Yangtze River. Your embroidery skills are already proficient, and they are better than your mother. ”

Princess Wukang showed a hint of smugness on her face and said, "Sister Wang Yao has come to laugh at me again!"

After a pause, he was a little sad and blamed himself: "A few days ago, I went to Suzhou to pick up my mother, but I didn't expect to almost hurt her. ”

Wang Yao frowned and said, "Oh?

Princess Wukang said: "Some people in the harem are jealous of my father's favor for me, so they are resentful and want to frame our mother and daughter, which is really intolerable, and their hearts can be punished!"

So he told everything that happened today, and Wang Yao was furious when he heard this: "How can this be true, every day is clear, the sky is clear, and the palace is forbidden, there is such a thing! Your Majesty should be made clear as soon as possible and this case should be thoroughly investigated!"

"Father has a lot of affairs today, so I shouldn't disturb it, and I will report it separately after the celebration is over. It's a pity that the evidence has been destroyed, and it may be difficult to find the real culprit!"

Wang Yao glanced at Li Ji and said, "Fortunately, thanks to your personal eunuch's cleverness, your mother and daughter can survive this catastrophe safely." It is rare for Concubine Zhang Shu to enter the palace to reunite with you once, after this catastrophe, after tonight, she will definitely go back to her hometown in Suzhou!"

"What my sister said is very true, my mother has always disdained the intrigue and deceit in the palace, and because of the tragic death of my unfortunate fourth brother, she was heartbroken, and she was discouraged, and she left the palace angrily, accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lights, and did not ask about the affairs of the red world. ”

"So you took advantage of the Qixi Festival to go out of the palace to find your mother without permission, no wonder Your Majesty Long Yan was furious and punished you for three days to face the wall and think about it!"

Li Ji only now suddenly realized that after Princess Wukang sent him to the palace that day, he was punished by the emperor, no wonder he didn't see anyone for a few days, it turned out that he was confined.
