Fan Ning and Li Yuan ran away, only to see the coffin stone slab where Princess Anding's bones were buried, and the food was scattered all over the place, and there were two people holding their heads and covering their chins, "Ouch", it was Xue Ne and Di Renjie.

It seems that when Xue Ne was about to check the coffin, Di Renjie, who had arrived first, came out of the underground palace and put Xue Ne's chin on his head, so he had the scene in front of him.

Fan Ning leaned back with a smile, and clapped his palms and said: "Xue Lang is just an idiot, why is there a Facao who is also an idiot, gnawing his head and biting his chin, don't you all look at people?" ”

Di Renjie crawled out of the underground palace, and when he saw Fan Ning, if he had found a treasure, he could take out a yellowed book from the burlap bag he was carrying, and groped out a dry and stiff brush with Mao Feng, took it to his mouth, opened the book and asked: "This little lady, it was inconvenient to ask each other in the palace yesterday, and the official had a few suspicious shadows, so I bother you to answer." I heard that you were adopted by Li Chunfeng, the Cabinet of the Secret Bureau, did he tell you what year, month, and day you brought you up? ”

Di Renjie can really handle cases anytime and anywhere, Fan Ning looked at Xue Ne, and saw that he bowed slightly, so he replied truthfully: "Master said that I picked it up outside the south of the city when there was a big flood in the summer of the fifth year of Yonghui, and at that time I also picked up Sister Honglian and another boy, the boy was taken away by the nearby mountain people, and I and Sister Honglian had no one to ask for it, so Master has been raising it in the stargazing view." ”

In that year, the Wei River flooded, Chang'an City was damaged, and even the Taiji Palace was flooded. At that time, it was Xue Rengui, the father of Xue Ne, who rushed into the palace against the torrent and carried the emperor out, otherwise I don't know what chaos would happen. In that flood, the people of Gyeonggi were very badly affected, and almost all families lost their lives and disappeared due to the disaster. After the catastrophe, many families **** in order to continue the incense, and the girls were mostly abandoned, what Fan Ning said was not unfounded.

Di Renjie recorded, raised his eyes and raised his goatee, and asked again: "Yesterday, the senior director of the Criminal Department said that he solved the riddle of the book, and the princess Anding recorded in the book has a birthmark under her shoulder that looks like a pear flower, dare to ask where your birthmark is?" ”

"I don't know," Fan Ning subconsciously touched the butterfly bone on his back, and his charming little face was dazed, "I can't see the back, and I don't know if I have a birthmark." ”

"She didn't know, but Xue Mingfu said conclusively that she did, dare to ask......"

Somehow, when it came to this issue, the atmosphere suddenly became a little delicate, and Li Yuanyan said quickly: "You two are really ...... I can't see Xue Lang...... You guys are not ashamed! ”

"Cai, it's not," Xue Ne blushed and argued, "I saw it when I was seven or eight years old, and the county lord said that Xue Mou would be fine, don't tarnish Ning'er's innocence." ”

Di Renjie was not affected by the outside world, and continued to ask: "Then how did the senior director of the Criminal Department know that you have a birthmark on your back?" Judging by how many years older he is than you, shouldn't he be the best of the two of you? ”

"Who will be good friends with him," Fan Ning replied angrily, "When I was in prison in the Criminal Department, he tricked me into going to the side house of the fox to take a bath, and I guess he let those maids peek, which is really despicable." ”

Di Renjie hesitated to grasp the pen and did not continue to write, Xue Ne saw his confusion and explained: "It is the partial house of Li Qianyou, the uncle of the punishment Taichang. ”

It's good not to take it, but it makes people laugh even more when they do, Di Renjie couldn't help laughing, frowned and tried his best to restrain himself: "That high master is really a good means, when Di came in the morning, I heard the abbot say that the high master had already come, and he held the emperor's edict in his hand to thoroughly investigate the case." Xue Mingfu, this case is seen now, all kinds of evidence are supporting the inference of Master Gao, you say that this little lady is not Princess Anding, but there is no evidence, how do you plan to explain to the emperor and queen nine days later? You must know that at present, this matter not only involves Xue Mingfu or the Xue family, but also implicates the Queen of Heaven, the Wu family and even the prince of the East Palace...... Dare to ask Xue Mingfu, is there a clue? ”

"Don't hide it from Di Facao, Xue still hasn't figured out under what circumstances the gangsters sneaked into the temple and took the remains of Princess Anding out of this heavily guarded temple. I heard that this Guanghua Temple was designed and built by Yan Lide, the brother of Yan Liben, the right prime minister of the dynasty, and the drawings are reported to be kept in the home of Yan Youxiang. Since Di Facao was elected as an official by Yan Youxiang, he must be a blue-eyed person of Yan Youxiang, can he be recommended by Xue, Xue wants to get the design of this temple. ”

Di Renjie lowered his head and thought that this kid was not from the Ming Law Department, but the investigation was not out of order, and it happened that he also had a request, so he said: "Yes, Di also has a reluctant request." Whether this little lady has a birthmark or not, based on Xue Mingfu's words alone, I am afraid that it is biased, can you work with the county lord Li to draw the birthmark behind this little lady for the purpose of investigating the case. ”

Di Renjie's request was not too much, it was necessary to investigate the case, Fan Ning and Xue Ne exchanged looks, and as soon as they agreed, Di Renjie went to find the abbot to arrange the room.

After Li Yuanyan entered the room, she looked around carefully to confirm that no one was peeking, and then motioned for Fan Ning to take off her clothes. Fan Ning untied her skirt, revealing her cherry-colored belly pocket, and turned her white and delicate back to Li Yuanyan. According to Di Renjie's request, Li Yuanyan drew the birthmark on Fan Ning's back in detail, and said at the end: "It's really strange, your birthmark is hidden, and you can't see it in the mirror, but Xue Lang is actually clear." Isn't he going to remember it from the age of seven or eight to the present? You two really didn't do anything terrible? ”

was teased by Li Yuanyan when she was on the side, Fan Ning could always tease back, but she couldn't deny this matter at all, her little face turned red, and she said angrily: "How do I know why he remembers, he never told me." ”

Li Yuanyan has admired Xue Ne for many years, and always feels that he is the same age, he has known each other since childhood, and he should be an undoubted pair, but now it seems that he is only afraid that he has fallen in love with Fan Ning more than ten years ago. If she knew that she had lost so early, why did she have to spend all these years ruthlessly in such a way.

Li Yuanyan felt uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, Xue Ne was not only outstanding, knowledgeable, but also warm and appropriate, a gentleman, and could be called the best son of Chang'an City, but he didn't know it, he was humble and cute, who could not be attracted to him?

Li Yuanyan suppressed the sourness like a hot spring, looked at Fan Ning who was tidying up and dressing, and thought to herself that she was actually luckier than her, with the love of her great-grandfather, parents and brother, not like this girl, her life was miserable, and now she was doing such a thing, if there was no Xue Ne, what would she do?

Maybe life is such a balance of gains and losses, you can't be too greedy, Li Yuanyan Huo Ran was relieved, but she was still disgusted: "Don't rub it off, no matter how good you dress, what if you can't solve the case in nine days, you don't have to die, and going to the right prime minister's house to ask for a book earlier is the main chapter......

Since the beginning of the previous year, the emperor ordered Jiang Ke, who had made outstanding achievements in battle, to be the left minister, the Ministry of Industry was still the secretary, and the "master craftsman" Yan Liben was the right minister. Yan Liben was not only born noble, but also painted the "Six Horses of Zhaoling" and "Twenty-four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion" with extremely high artistic attainments.

In addition to the design map of this Guanghua Temple, Xue Ne is also worried about his own underground palace, according to Li Yuanyan, the design of Chongrenfang is completed by Yan Liben's brother Yan Lide, maybe it can be different.

After getting out of Guanghua Temple, everyone will go to Yan Liben's mansion by car, this right prime minister's mansion is located in the southeast corner of the palace outside the palace, with the theme of spring, summer, autumn and winter, move to change the scene, and the structure is ingenious. Xue Ne and the others were in the middle of it, and they were a little out of place to linger.

After entering the second door, a person who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward and saluted: "My father-in-law has been sick for the past few days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see it, but the books mentioned by the two officials can be borrowed, so just follow me to the study room to register, please." ”

It's a pity that I can't see Yan Liben, but if I can get the map, it won't be in vain. Xue Ne and Di Renjie bowed their hands together, followed the housekeeper to the study, and signed their names on the thick library book.

While Xue Ne and the housekeeper were picking up the book, Di Renjie turned the list forward a few pages, and couldn't help but whisper: "Hey, why did Li Qianyou, the chief prisoner, also come to borrow this book?" ”

"Yes," replied the butler, "there was a theft case at the tomb of the former emperor, and Li Sixing used this book to investigate the case, so the two of you should have heard of it." ”

Xue Ne and Di Renjie had heard of this case, and it had caused the emperor to be angry, and the criminal department was busy for three or two months and finally solved it, but it had nothing to do with the case of Princess Anding.

After getting the map, Xue Ne found a painter and asked him to transcribe a copy within two days, so that he and Di Renjie could investigate the case.

It was not early, everyone said goodbye, and Xue Ne returned to Xue Mansion with Fan Ning. From evening to midnight, he has been concentrating on combing all the clues of the princess case, Fan Ning sat beside him, sleepy and crumbling, and barely leaned on his shoulder, she woke up, glanced at Xue Ne, and said with a smile: "I'm not taking advantage of you, I'm too sleepy......"

"You don't have to accompany me here," Xue Ne was distressed and urged Fan Ning to sleep, "I don't know when I will be able to see a name, don't affect your rest." ”

"Aren't we looking for the princess's remains? If you don't go to find a thief, why do you keep circling around that Guanghua Temple? ”

"You also went to the temple today, the guards are very tight, and it is not easy to go in and steal the remains. Even if the guards steal themselves, how can they smuggle the remains out? ”

"Do you mean...... Is there really no remains in the coffin? Although reluctant, Fan Ning can only come to this conclusion, if this is the case, it will be confirmed that the princess was not buried at all, and the fact that she is the princess is stable will be a little more conclusive.

Looking at each other, the two were full of indescribable confusion and melancholy, could it be that the queen of heaven really confessed to the nurse back then, let her quietly take away Princess Anding, and finally buried her in an empty coffin, so that there is today's change?

Xue Ne always felt that something was wrong, but it was difficult to find a breakthrough, and when he was at a loss, Fan Ning on his side leaned on his thin shoulder, and his light tone was full of sadness: "If you really can't hide, you can quietly go out of the city to find your father, so maybe he doesn't have to take a concubine, he has a son who has made trouble, go to the emperor and cry, there should be no heavy punishment." ”

"Do you think I'll leave you behind and go to the emperor myself to ask for mercy? Am I so unreliable in your eyes? ”

"It's not...... I just don't want to drag you down. Fan Ning raised his eyes to look at Xue Ne, touched the young man's resolute gaze, his long eyelashes trembled, and said, "By the way, today the county lord asked me, it's been twelve years, how do you remember that I have a birthmark behind me?" ”

Xue Ne didn't know how to answer, his cheeks were red, but his eyes were very open, and he replied for a long time: "I remember your affairs for half a lifetime......"

The original cold and bitter atmosphere, with the young man's words in a flash, Fan Ning had not yet tasted back, Xue Ne suddenly raised his hand to extinguish the oil lamp, and pushed Fan Ning down on the soft mat, and the whole person pressed on her.

Fan Ning was so shocked that he almost punched, and before he could say "hey", he heard a few inaudible "whoosh", which should have been an uninvited guest who rushed through the defense line and fell into the inner courtyard, and released several long arrows to the people in the room.
