Following the Shangshu Destruction Case, in less than three days, Shang Shulang, Shi Yushi, and Zhanggu died mysteriously one after another, and their left hands also disappeared. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Criminal Department combined these tragic cases into one case, referred to as the severed case.

These people who died were all members of the Criminal Department, and they all worked for the abolished prince, and after the fall of the abolished prince, they took a neutral attitude, but they did not expect to be slaughtered with a neutral attitude, which is undoubtedly extremely incomprehensible.

Liu Yan has been staying in bed honestly these days and hasn't gone anywhere, and Banrong doesn't allow others to disturb him, so he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court.

"It's the fourth day." The closer the day gets, the more uneasy Liu Yan becomes, it is true that this leg is too important to him, and letting a military general lose the leg he relies on for survival is like a painter cutting off his own hands.

"Your Highness, you don't believe that Chu Shenxia will come back within five days, but please believe in my medical skills, even if you don't have the bone renewal miracle medicine, I can make Your Highness stand up again." Banrong carefully smeared the medicine on his bruises.

"Aren't you unsure?" Liu Yan looked down at her white jade-like fingers, and it was hard to believe that these weak fingers could do so many things.

"Seventy percent of the certainty is also the certainty, I dare not say so absolutely, I am afraid of what happens. Even if there is a miracle medicine, it is just from seventy percent to ninety, and the last one is in the sky. Banrong withdrew his hand and moved the dish containing the herbs aside.

Liu Yan looked at her with some amusement: "You still believe this." ”

"People suffer when they don't believe, and the reason why Your Highness suffers is because he doesn't believe in us, and he doesn't believe that he will be fine." Banrong handed over a bowl of decoction.

Liu Yan took it and blew lightly, the heat on the decoction immediately fell to the side, and new heat soon came out, he put the medicine bowl aside, his eyes fell on Banrong, and he thought for a while and said, "Sometimes, I think you are really like him." ”

"Who?" Banrong asked nonchalantly, picked up the bowl of soup again, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's better to drink it while it's hot." ”

"Let it go." Liu Yan's gaze slipped from the medicine bowl, and he picked up a book casually, as if he was looking at it seriously.

Banrong glanced at him, reluctantly put down the medicine bowl, packed up his things and prepared to withdraw, and turned around and told again: "Your Highness remember to drink, if you are afraid of bitterness, I will put some sugar next time." ”

Liu Yan's hand shaking the book, pretending not to hear, and when he looked up again, there was no one there.

Lowered his head in disappointment, his eyes fell back to writing, he couldn't tell why he was disappointed, but this disappointment was really real, his eyes swept to a figure folded out from behind the door, a joy, when he looked up, it was his confidant, Lu Zhi.

"Is Your Highness better?"

Liu Yan saw that he was in a hurry, there must be something urgent, but he didn't say anything else, nodded slightly, and simply asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The willow palm is dead." Lu Zhi took a breath and observed his expression all the time.

"Even if I can't get out of this room, how can I not know about such a big thing?" Liu Yan dropped the book in his hand, looked at him with an expression that wanted to say but was extremely forbearing, and couldn't help urging: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I have a cousin named Lu Ke, who is on an errand in the Criminal Department with Liu Zhanggu, and before Liu Zhanggu had an accident, the two of them had a little dispute, and Lu Ke threatened to kill him." Lu Zhi's gaze wandered on the ground for a while, and he frowned: "Who would have thought that Liu Zhanggu would really die, and now the people of the Sixing Temple have arrested my cousin." Your Highness, you know, the punishment of the Punishment Temple is something we can't bear, I'm afraid..."

Liu Yan's eyebrows squeezed towards the center, squeezed out two deep lines, and said, "Are you afraid that Lu Ke won't be able to stand up, because you have a special relationship with him, and this case will fall on me?" ”

Lu Zhi suddenly knelt down on his knees, and said in fear: "Not only that, because Shangshu died suddenly, and the new Shangshu personnel have not yet been confirmed, the emperor has handed over the case to King Qing for trial, with the assistance of the three divisions." Although Lu Ke is short-tempered, because he is in an important position in the Criminal Department, it is convenient for us, so... So I asked him to do something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The case of the abolished prince without a head." Lu Zhi slowly spit out this sentence.

Liu Yan's whole body stiffened, his heart was like being overwhelmed by a boulder, the headless case of the abolished prince caused a sensation in Jincheng, everyone knew about it, and everyone remembered the scene of the year more or less.

But Liu Yan will not forget, he will never forget that his dearest Uncle Qin Wang was beheaded in half, and he wrote seven injustices in a row before he died. It's a nightmare, a nightmare for all clansmen.

Lu Zhi paused slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness always believes that King Qin is innocent, and he privately calls all kinds of connections to collect evidence, and a few days ago, Lu Ke also found the trace of one of King Qin's henchmen for me." ”

Liu Yan's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "How?" What did he say? ”

"He..." Lu Zhi sighed heavily, and said extremely helplessly: "He... Confessed! ”

It was as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and these four words were like a thunderbolt in his heart, and the city wall that he had built with years of conviction finally collapsed.

Lu Zhi's hurried voice came in his ears again: "Your Highness, if this matter is dug up by the Si Xing Temple, the emperor knows that you have the heart to overturn the case for King Qin, but I am afraid that a big disaster will come!" ”

Liu Yan's frowning brows slowly relaxed, Lu Zhi didn't listen to much of what he said, he only had the tragic image of King Qin before his death in his mind, his eyes were misty and looking at the person in front of him, and he laughed at himself and said helplessly: "Is it true that the imperial uncle I respect the most?" ”

His eyes slowly closed, and he suddenly thought of something, and he was shocked, why did he not have an accident in addition to his grief, could it be that he actually believed in the judgment of the year in his heart? I just won't admit it. Thinking of this, Liu Yan instantly collapsed, and his painful gaze jumped into shame.

"Your Highness!" Seeing that he didn't react, Lu Zhi shouted hurriedly.

As soon as he called him, Liu Yan came to his senses a little and said lightly: "What do you want to do now?" Do you want me to send troops to save him? You also know that this is impossible, he is your cousin, and he will not confess it all. ”

Lu Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if he was making a decision, and said with a long sigh: "Lu Ke can't live." ”

"What?" Liu Yan straightened up and looked at him incredulously, "He is your relative, as far as I know, you have been dependent on each other for so many years, and you are such a younger brother as him!" ”

When Lu Zhi looked up at him, his eyes were already red, and he said sadly: "Your Highness, even if he is my dearest, but Your Highness also knows the punishment of the Punishment Temple, even if you survive the punishment of the Punishment Temple, and the means of King Qing, Lu Ke will not be able to escape this catastrophe no matter what!" ”

Liu Yan looked at him with some emotion, Lu Zhi followed him when he was eleven years old, and it has been eight years now, Liu Yan has complete trust in him as a confidant, but he can actually do this for himself, how can Liu Yan not be moved?

finally couldn't bear to say: "Forget it, you are such a younger brother as him, I really can't bear it." ”

"If Lu Ke confesses, it will bring great disasters to His Royal Highness, and it will make the entire Shunwang Mansion suffer, and even if he has a hundred lives, he will not be able to repay his humble position! Even if it is the only relative of the lowly position, the lowly ... There is no way to do it. The men on weekdays were crying with tears on their faces.

Liu Yan frowned and interrupted him: "Things haven't been hit by this step yet, you don't move first, don't make this decision until you have no way out, you go down first." ”

Lu Zhi was silent for a long time, answered in a low voice, and retreated.

But the wind and clouds came faster, and there was no time to dodge, so they were hit by the rain one after another, and there was nowhere to escape.

Banrong stuck his head out of the window and beckoned Wang Ruoyu, who was practicing swords outside, to come in and take shelter from the rain.

"Your Highness." Wang Ruoyu greeted coldly, although he knew that His Highness had an injury to his foot, but he had never come to visit, thinking that he was still living in his mansion, so he spoke again: "Your Highness's injury is not healed?" ”

Liu Yan was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, it's almost good." ”

Banrong also smiled and wiped the raindrops that were clinging to her hair, and smiled gently: "Why is it raining and I don't know how to hide?" ”

Wang Ruoyu smiled back: "It's not big." ”

This sisterly care really surprised Liu Yan, especially Wang Ruoyu's smile, for a moment he felt that his eyes were a little ethereal. wanted to interject but was afraid of ruining the atmosphere, but he couldn't help but broke the atmosphere: "Chu Shenxia should come back today?" ”

Wang Ruoyu's gaze couldn't help but fall on Liu Yan's face, and then turned back very quickly.

Banrong smiled and explained to her: "Chu Shenxia is the person His Highness thinks about day and night, you can see the anxiety on his face. ”

Wang Ruoyu's expressionless face suddenly flashed with surprise, and he looked at Liu Yan in a daze.

Liu Yan was looked at unnaturally by her, knowing that she wanted to go elsewhere, she coughed lightly and did not explain.

Outside the door, the sound of heavy, hurried footsteps came one after another, and everyone waited for someone to come in.

Chu Shenxia walked in from outside the door, with a dusty face mixed with a lot of fatigue and some pain, compared to before, it seemed to be a little thinner. He walked towards Banrong, his messy hair fluttering gently, not embarrassed, but unable to take his eyes off.

Under the gaze of everyone, he took out a few herbs from his arms and handed them to Banrong, his voice was very hoarse: "The medicine is here." ”

As soon as the concise words landed, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave, Liu Yan wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he pretended to cough and coughed lightly.

Chu Shenxia paused, and said in a deep voice: "Tengyun is dead." ”
