Li Qi's question was more pointed: "If you really want to stay away from the world, why do you take the initiative to help the official find the assassin?" Don't you understand that the smarter you behave, the more the son likes you? ”

Xilingyue naturally couldn't say that it was for Pei Xingli, so she replied half-truthfully: "I won't tell you anything, the people's daughter is worried that one day her identity will be revealed, so she wants to ...... I want to show it in front of you and ask for a favor...... In case the Folk Girl reveals her stuff, you can see that the Folk Girl is merciful in the matter of catching the Assassin for you, and will not be held accountable for the crime of deception. She pretended to be hateful as she spoke, "Who would have expected that King Fu suddenly appeared that day and interrupted the words of the people's daughter, and the people's selfishness has never had a chance to speak." ”

After she said this, she saw that there was suddenly no movement in the house, and she couldn't help but raise her head, and found that Li Qi and the others were looking out of the door silently.

Xilingyue let out an "ah", and hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw Fu King Li Chengxuan wearing a black brocade robe, standing outside the door looking at her expressionlessly.

"It seems that you are very dissatisfied with this king." Li Chengxuan said as he stepped into the door.

Xi Lingyue looked up at him, and saw that his face was ruddy and shiny, and his voice was loud and breathless, so she guessed that his injuries were no longer serious, and he got out smoothly that night. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then took another breath: "It's the people's daughter who lost her words, and I hope that the prince will forgive her sins." ”

Several people in the house also knelt down to see Li Chengxuan.

Li Chengxuan said a few polite words and asked Li Qi directly: "How is the matter investigated?" Isn't the son of the world still missing? ”

Li Qi apologized: "It's the incompetence of the lower officials, and there have been accidents in the mansion one after another, which has frightened the prince." ”

Li Chengxuan waved his hand: "The servant is polite, and this king also wants to do his best." If you don't mind, this king wants to observe this interrogation, I wonder if it is convenient? ”

"This ......" Li Qi opened his mouth, and was about to say, "This is a family matter, it's not good to drive the prince", but saw that Li Chengxuan had already sat down consciously, and said lightly to the people around him: "Xiao Guo, learn from Li Fuji." ”

Xiao Guo's guards nodded again and again and stepped aside.

Li Qi then walked to Li Chengxuan's side and pleaded in a low voice: "In the past few days, the official has been busy with family affairs, so he has to let the cheap concubine Wanniang entertain the prince on his behalf, I don't know what is wrong with her?" ”

Li Chengxuan first glanced at Xiling Yue, and then smiled lightly: "Wanniang is very good, thank you for shooting and cutting love." ”

Li Qi stopped talking.

Xilingyue looked at these two people blankly, not knowing what they meant between their words, could it be that Li Qi sent a beauty to Li Chengxuan after not seeing each other in just two days? Or his own concubine?

Uh, it's messy. Xilingyue looked around and saw that everyone pretended not to hear, so she also lowered her head and continued to wait for interrogation.

Li Chengxuan's arrival obviously disrupted the process of interrogation, because he didn't know much about the cause and effect, Xilingyue had to explain it again, only to feel that his throat was about to smoke. Li Qi also reported the process and details of the disappearance of his son Li Heng one by one.

After Li Chengxuan heard this, he was quite interested in Li Heng's disappearance, and asked: "After the prince saw this lady the night before, he went directly back to the inner room to rest and never came out again?" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang," Mrs. Gao pointed to the inner room in the back, "That's it, the nurse Liu also went to serve him to change his regular clothes." ”

"The guards on duty have also been guarding the surroundings, and they have never seen the prince go out." Pei Xingli stepped forward to add.

The more Li Chengxuan listened, the more suspicious he felt, so he lifted the hem of his robe and straightened up: "Let's go, take this king to see the layout of the inner room." ”

He took the first step, and several people had to follow, Xilingyue kept kneeling, and when she saw them all leave, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Who knew that Li Chengxuan had already crossed the threshold, and turned his head to Xiling Yue and said: "This lady is also a good hand at reasoning about the case, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

When the prince spoke, Li Qi naturally didn't want to say anything, so Xilingyue rubbed her sore knees, got up and followed her to the inner room.

Compared with Mrs. Gao's luxury and Li Qi's exquisiteness, Li Heng, the prince of the world, is extremely simple, and there are not many furnishings in the room: an ebony gilt treasure elephant twined branch bed occupies the position in the middle of the north side, and in front of the bed is four ebony carved and embroidered narrow screens, and there is a simple black lacquer three-circumference Luohan couch outside the screen, and on the left and right is a black lacquer inlaid luodian tall table, on which are placed several treasures. The east and west windows are also opposite each other, which is convenient for ventilation, and next to the east window is a basin stand and mirror stand made of ebony, and under the west window is a small sandalwood case, on which a bronze three-legged incense burner is placed. The whole room layout is simple and elegant.

Li Chengxuan took the lead in bypassing the screen and walked to the bed, where he could still see the folds on the satin futon. He couldn't help asking, "After the disappearance of the prince, has anyone moved in this house?" ”

"Not a single move." Pei Xingli replied. Li Chengxuan seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at Xiling Yue: "What do you think?" ”

Xilingyue said "uh": "The folk girl thinks that the prince will never disappear out of thin air." Either the guards didn't see it when the prince left here, or someone did something to cover it. ”

Li Qi seemed to think the same way, and nodded: "Yes, no one in this world will disappear for no reason." He sniffed and frowned as he spoke, "How can there be such a strong sandalwood fragrance?" ”

Mrs. Gao stepped forward and replied, "I invited the master of Jinshan Temple to do it. When Li Qi heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense! It's only been how long Heng'er has been missing, what kind of method you have done, wouldn't it be known to everyone! ”

Mrs. Gao seemed to be about to shed tears, and hurriedly replied: "There have been too many things in the mansion recently, and it is an assassin and a prison robber, and I am really uneasy in my heart......

She didn't finish her words, and Li Qi didn't ask any more questions, but just sighed: "The house is restless!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged woman running in with a panicked expression, and suddenly fell to her knees: "Servant, madam, go and take a look...... The two golden screens ...... Suddenly......"

"Lost?" Mrs. Gao was the first to ask.

The middle-aged woman gasped: "No...... I didn't lose it, but I ...... It's ......"

"Since you didn't lose it, make a big fuss!" Mrs. Gao glanced at Li Chengxuan and reprimanded her, "Dare to embarrass in front of the prince, and don't retreat!" ”

The middle-aged woman called "Liu", who was Li Heng's nurse, took care of Li Heng for 20 years, and had a lot of weight in this mansion. She dared to kneel and didn't move, grabbed Mrs. Gao's skirt, and was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Please forgive the old maid for being rude, something really happened!" The two golden screens seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and the patterns on them suddenly ...... Suddenly changed! ”

"Changed? What has become? Mrs. Gao was very surprised.

"Change...... Become...... Something happened to the son! ”
