Chapter 53: The Headless Corpses
Yan Nanwan was held in his arms, and he was about to struggle subconsciously, thinking of the transaction between the two of them, and finally had to give up and fall asleep in his arms.
There was the sound of even breathing in his ears, Xue Yan opened his eyes slightly, looked down at the sleeping person in his arms, and suddenly remembered the scene when the two met for the first time at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
He, the crown prince, the fifth prince, the thirteenth prince, and Tao Xiaobei, when they stepped into the main hall together, the eyes of everyone in the hall fell on them, but she lowered her head, as if what happened above the hall had nothing to do with her. At that time, he felt that she was different from women in the world.
Later, when his father wanted to marry her to the crown prince and royal brother, her words confirmed his conjecture even more.
"Marriage?" Xue Yan whispered and touched these two words, and his lips hooked, "Then try it!"
Yan Nan slept until the afternoon before waking up leisurely, and as soon as her eyes opened, she met Xue Yan's smiling eyes, and her mind didn't react for a while.
Xue Yan looked at her stunned appearance, raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead, "Are you fascinated by my beauty at night?"
"But no, what does a man do with such beauty?" Yan Nanwan rubbed his forehead and complained dissatisfiedly, "Let the women in the world have no way to live." ”
Xue Yan got up, put on his shoes, picked up the coat on the side, turned to look at her, and said with a smile, "Now that you have taken me, don't women in the world have a way to live?"
Yan Nanwan also got up and said with a smile, "In this way, I actually saved the women of the world." She got dressed, walked up to Xue Yan, looked at him carefully and carefully, raised her hand and pinched his face, "Although you royal families are all good-looking, only you are thrilling." ”
Xue Yan shook her hand on his face and said with a smile, "I'll just treat you as a compliment." ”
Yan Nanwan touched Hungry Bian's stomach and said quietly, "I'm hungry." ”
"The meal has been prepared, eat here, or go out?" Xue Yan asked.
"Get out, lively. ”
Yan Nanwan has completely let go of her temperament in front of Xue Yan now, and since she has decided that the two will be in the same boat in the future, there is no need to hide too much.
The shopkeeper had already arranged seats for the two of them, walked to the table and sat down, Xiao Er brought the prepared meal to the table, Yan Nanwan couldn't help but ask, "The person behind the July Building won't be you, right?"
Xue Yan nodded without concealment, and smiled evilly, "I just like to eat, drink and have fun, and of course the industry is mostly a place to eat, drink and have fun." ”
"Chunfeng Mansion is also yours?"
He nodded.
"Won't it be the same?"
"It's not. Xue Yan was a little serious, "The person behind the Cuihong Courtyard has always been a mystery. ”
"Then how did you insert the water lady into it?" Yan Nanwan took the chopsticks, put the vegetables in his mouth, and asked vaguely.
Xue Yan poured himself a glass of wine, poured another cup of tea for Yan Nanwan, and looked at her, "How do you know that Shui Niang is my person?"
"When I took you out of the Emerald Red Courtyard yesterday, it happened that Shui Niang was passing by, and when she saw you, her face was obviously wrong. Yan Nanwan recalled that Shui Niang's face was surprised and shocked at that time, and she wanted to laugh when she saw the ghost's expression.
Xue Yan picked up the wine glass, brought it to his lips, and praised, "Wan'er really has a seven-trick exquisite heart." ”
Yan Nanwan stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
Xue Yan watched her eat with relish, and her appetite was greatly boosted, and the two of them finally ate the dishes on the table, "It's a pleasure to eat with the evening." ”
"Aren't you in a happy mood when you dine with Miss Chi Xue?" Yan Nanwan glanced at him, this person likes to talk nonsense.
Xue Yan smiled, "That's different. ”
After eating and drinking, Yan Nanwan went to Dali Temple with Xue Yan.
When they arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, the official watched the two of them come over, one hurriedly went in to tell Qin Zhao, and the other greeted him, "The seventh prince, the princess." ”
Xue Yan nodded, "What about Qin Zhao?"
"The adults are inside and check the corpse and the human head with Takesan. The official bowed his head and replied respectfully.
When Qin Zhao heard that Xue Yan was coming, he hurriedly put down the affairs at hand and trotted out, "Seventh prince, princess." ”
"How's the investigation?" Xue Yan got straight to the point.
"There has been some progress. Qin Zhao took the two of them to Dali Temple.
Yan Nan suddenly said in a late voice, "Trouble Lord Qin to invite the Hubu Shangshu." ”
When Qin Zhao heard this, he paused and looked at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan swept over with a sharp look, "Did this prince say that the words of the princess are what I meant, why don't you go and get the old man from the household department for me, what do you want me to do?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Zhao hurriedly beckoned to the official to order, "Invite Master Cheng to Dali Temple, and say that there is an existing case that needs his assistance in the investigation." ”
Xue Yan said, "Tell the old man that if he doesn't come, this matter will be directly fixed on his head." ”
The official listened and hurried away.
Qin Zhao lowered his head and walked ahead, muttering in his heart that the Seven Princes were really getting more and more ......
Yan Nanwan smiled slightly, pulled Xue Yan's hand, and said in a low voice, "I can't see that you are not only debauched, but also quite a scoundrel." ”
"As long as you don't say I'm lewd. As he spoke, he took her hand.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhu San was burying his head in trying to match these corpses and heads one by one, but these corpses and heads were separated for too long to be accurate.
"Is there any poisoning in the corpse?" Yan Nanwan asked.
Takesan nodded, "Most of the corpses here were poisoned to death. ”
Yan Nanwan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Crane top red?"
"Yes, it's all crane top red. Zhu San's face was solemn, "Miss Yan, I have something I want to say to you alone." ”
Yan Nanwan glanced at Xue Yan, and Xue Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Okay, let's go over there." ”
Zhu San followed behind Yan Nanwan, his eyebrows were furrowed all the time, and when he stepped aside, Yan Nanwan spoke, "What's wrong?"
Zhu San nodded, "Miss Yan, if this matter really wants to continue to be investigated, I am afraid that it will affect not only the court, but even the harem." ”
"What did you find?"
Zhu San glanced around, walked into Yan Nanwan, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Yan Nanwan was shocked when she heard this, and after a while, she asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhu San is sure that the eunuchs who serve by the emperor's side and the concubine are different. I took a closer look, and there were indeed a few corpses of eunuchs serving in the harem. ”
"Don't make a noise about this matter for now, I will discuss it with Xue Yan before making a decision. ”
Zhu San looked at Yan Nanwan and stopped talking.
Yan Nanwan looked at his appearance and smiled, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
