Chapter 64: Murder in a Closed Room (4)
Zhu Ao did not doubt his wife's ability, his heart was slightly relieved, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, the queen, this king is fine." ”
Sun Yunqi didn't get up in a hurry, still maintained a saluting posture, and said, "The concubine retires." Then he took his personal maids, Tingwei and Yinhe, who had been named Zhaoyi, and left.
Zhu Ao circled around the crime scene twice, but still didn't find any valuable clues, sighed softly, instructed his subordinates to watch the scene, and left.
Lan Youcheng was locked in a small room, there was only a small window in the room, and the faint sunlight sprinkled on Lan Youcheng's face through that small window, although it was summer sunshine, Lan Youcheng still felt a slight chill, as if it was the last ray of sunshine in her life, so weak, but so stubborn, as long as there was a little gap, it would shine in.
Lan Youcheng sat on the ground, clasped her knees with her hands, thinking back to her short life, heh, it was really ups and downs, originally she was born in the Liangguo Mansion Miss Lan Family, in other people's words, she was born with a golden key, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. Because her mother was not favored, she did not live well in the Liangguo Mansion, and she was not even as good as a subordinate with a higher status. Later, her father Lan Yu was killed on suspicion of rebellion, and she wanted to exterminate the three clans according to the law, at that time she thought she was going to die, although she was not doing very well, but she didn't want to die, she was only fourteen years old at the time, her life had just begun, and she hadn't met the true son of her life, how could she want to die? It is said that girls begin to dream of their marriage from a very young age, and Lan Youcheng is no exception, often fantasizing about marrying a prince charming and living a happy life with him. Although her father betrothed her to a fool and she was powerless to change, nothing could stop the dreams of humanity.
Later, her dream came true, a vassal king came down from the sky to save her, and also accepted her as a concubine, entrusted with financial responsibilities, she was very excited, very grateful, and determined to use her own body to protect this happiness, but disaster fell from the sky, a commander she had never seen much died in her room for no reason, and all the doors and windows of the room were locked from the inside, judging from this situation, except for her, no one else had the possibility of committing a crime, which made her speechless.
Lan Youcheng Bingxue is smart, she knows in her heart that if she can't find the real murderer, even if Zhu Ao doesn't believe that she is the murderer, she has to kill her, otherwise the entire Su Kingdom will treat Zhu Ao as a faint monarch like King Zhou You, people's hearts will be scattered, and the good situation that Su Guo has just created will come to naught.
If my blood can clear the way ahead for the prince, then let it drain. Lan Youcheng secretly swore in his heart.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open with a "squeak", Lan Youcheng subconsciously looked up, and was pleasantly surprised, it was the prince who came.
Regardless of whether the prince thinks she is a murderer or not, he still comes to see her at this time, after all, he still has affection for her, Lan Youcheng is very happy, immediately knelt up straight, kowtowed to Zhu Ao and said: "The concubine has seen the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”
Zhu Ao glanced at this concubine who had been extremely pampered by her, it was only a while, she was haggard like this, she felt distressed for a while, the expression on her face changed and changed, she really didn't know what to say, and after a while, she said lightly: "Get up, don't be polite." ”
Lan Youcheng still knelt on the ground and didn't move, and said faintly: "Let the concubine kneel for the prince for a while, the concubine is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to kowtow to the prince in the future." ”
Zhu Ao's heart was so sad that he almost went up to hug her, but he knew that there were still many followers outside, so in order to take care of the impact, he still held back, and said lightly: "Youcheng, don't you hate this king?" ”
Lan Youcheng shook his head gently, tears had already flowed down his eyes, and said, "What did the prince say?" How can this matter be blamed on the head of the prince, if you want to blame it, you can only blame it on the bad life of Youcheng, I don't know who made such an unbreakable game to frame him. To tell the truth, if the prince can come to see the concubine for the last time, the concubine will be very content, and she will die without regrets. The concubine is blessed, and she can't always be with the prince in this life, but she only hopes that she can be reincarnated as a person in the prince's mansion in the next life, even if it is a dog or a cat, as long as she can follow the prince and repay the prince's great kindness to the concubine in this life, the concubine will be satisfied. ”
Hearing such a word, even a steely heart would turn into a finger twist, Zhu Ao only felt that every word Lan Youcheng said, it was like a boulder to hit his heart, how could a person who was so affectionate to himself do such a thing, no matter what, this king would change her innocence.
At this time, Lan Youcheng suddenly put his left arm to his mouth and bit down hard, and a row of white teeth was stained with bright red blood.
Zhu Ao was shocked, didn't understand what she was doing, and shouted, "Youcheng, what are you doing?" Stop it! ”
Lan Youcheng's bite exerted all the strength of his body, the muscles on his painful face began to twitch, tears and sweat were mixed together, and he couldn't tell the difference, and after a while, he let go of his mouth and said faintly: "Lord Wang, please write down, this row of tooth marks on the left arm is the mark of Youcheng, if there is one more person or other living creatures in the prince's mansion in the coming day, it is Youcheng who has come back to find the prince, and I hope that the prince will have mercy and take in the concubines." ”
Zhu Ao couldn't control it anymore, rushed up with an arrow, hugged her delicate body, and said: "You stupid girl, the matter has not yet reached the last moment, how can you say these frustrating words, don't worry, this king will do his best to return your innocence." ”
"Lord Wang." Lan Youcheng cried out and plunged into Zhu Ao's arms, at this time, nothing is more important than trust, Lan Youcheng only felt that he didn't want anything anymore, as long as he could cry in the arms of the prince, then he would have no regrets in this life.
Zhu Ao didn't interrupt her, hugged her delicate body, stroked her hair, and let her cry as much as she wanted in her arms. After a long while, Lan Youcheng gradually stopped crying, crawled out of Zhu Ao's arms, wiped his tears, and said, "Thank you for trusting the concubine, with the prince's words, the concubine will have no regrets in this life." If the real culprit can't be found before noon, ask the prince to kill the concubine to motivate the soldiers of the three armies. The concubine will not complain about the prince, if the concubine's life can contribute to the prince's foundation, it is the concubine's honor. ”
