At night, the bright moon shines on the Shen Mansion in Lining City.

Li Zhilian let out a long breath and walked up the stairs of the study

Shen Zhitang sat in front of the bookcase, quietly flipping through the case files sent by Dali Temple, half-ringing, he raised his head, saw Li Zhilian wandering at the door, and smiled: "Zhipian!" I haven't rested yet! ”

Li Zhilian smiled reluctantly: "Senior brother has been gone for two or three days, I'm a little worried about him"

Shen Zhitang stood up and said, "You want to go to him?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded

Shen Zhitang said: "We have been on the road for two days, you go and have a good rest tonight, and then talk about it tomorrow."

Li Zhilian raised his head and muttered, "Teacher~"

Shen Zhitang smiled: "Who is better for you and Jianqing?" ”

Li Zhilian was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied: "My victory lies in surprise, one move kills, if it is entangled, senior brother is even better."

Shen Zhitang smiled: "Then what are you worried about him?" ”

Li Zhilian frowned slightly and said, "Teacher~ I'm not talking about this"

Shen Zhitang was stunned

Li Zhilian hesitated, but still pulled out the short knife given by Su Yun, unsealed the handle, and a fan-shaped black jade slipped out of it

Shen Zhitang's pupils dilated instantly, and he looked at the black jade in her hand in a daze, and asked in a trembling voice for a long time, "You...... How could there be this? ”

Li Zhilian put the piece of jade back into the hilt of the knife: "The teacher also has one on him, right?" ”

Shen Zhitang's face changed immediately, and he looked around before taking out an almost identical fan-shaped black jade from his arms: "How did you know how to be clever?" ”

Li Zhilian took out the black jade from the hilt of the knife, put it on the table and put the two pieces of jade together, forming a semicircle: "This piece ~ was given to me by Su Yun, when he returned to the Western Zhou Kingdom, he handed me this short knife, and asked me to keep it well, and I must carry it with me, I thought it was a little strange at first, this short knife is not a top grade, why does he want me to keep it well, even Qi Yi, the leader of the Eagle Guard of the Western Zhou Dynasty, said the same thing when he saw this knife"

Shen Zhitang picked up the two pieces of jade in confusion and put them together, the black jade was opaque, and the lines on it were disordered, and he couldn't see anything unusual: "The lines on this one seem to be carved later."

Li Zhilian shook her head, she didn't know anything about jade

Shen Zhitang said to himself again: "I don't know what kind of treasure is hidden in this jade, which has made the Xiao family look for it for so many years."

Li Zhilian said blankly: "Since I knew that this thing was poisonous, I haven't looked at it carefully, but now this jade sequins add up to only half a piece, and it is difficult to see anything."

Shen Zhitang nodded, raised his eyes and smiled: "Oh~ Mercy! Where did you just go? ”

Li Zhilian recalled, continued what he had just said, and said: "I originally thought that this short knife was a token of their Western Zhou Dynasty, until I went up to Liangyi Mountain, and my senior brother Zou Yitang told me that this is a kind of cold poison, called Mohan, shaped like black jade, extremely hard, if you keep it with you, it will weaken your heart and blood and affect fertility...... The teacher often feels dizzy today, and it should be because of it."

Shen Zhitang nodded and said, "The withering of the royal blood of the Western Zhou Kingdom is because of this? ”

Li Zhilian shook his head and said: "The handle of this knife is made of dark iron, which can isolate half of the cold air, and if this thing is always in the knife, then the emperor of the Western Zhou Kingdom can't often touch it, it shouldn't be its problem."

Shen Zhitang raised his head suddenly: "Zhipian ~ then your body ...... What's going on? When I was in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the doctor said that you were overworked."

Li Zhilian smiled and replied: "My body is no longer in trouble, after Zou Yitang found out about the problem with this knife, he re-thickened the handle of the knife for me, and the cold in my body was conditioned for more than half a year, and it was completely discharged."

Shen Zhitang nodded and said, "That's good~ That's good" As if thinking of something, he raised his eyes and asked: "Then you found that I also had a piece of ink on my body when you checked my pulse on the way back??" ”

Li Zhilian nodded: "A few days ago, His Majesty was ill, and when I diagnosed her pulse, I had some doubts, how could her pulse be so similar to mine at that time"

She looked at Shen Zhitang quietly, the candlelight shining on his face, the white hair on his sideburns and the fine lines on his face, now it seemed that they were so obvious, it seemed that this jade had damaged his roots

Shen Zhitang pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the imperial doctor in the palace aware of it?" ”

Li Zhilian shook his head: "It shouldn't be, this ink drought is still an ancient curiosity, if it weren't for Zou Yitang's whim to find a cold thing to protect himself when he was refining the pill, go through the ancient books in the library pavilion, and translate them, I'm afraid this ink drought would not be recognized." ”

Shen Zhitang nodded reassuringly: "Now that I know that the Xiao family is looking for this piece of jade, if they know, this jade will pass through the hands of the emperor, I am afraid that the palace will not be at peace again!" ”

Li Zhilian sighed with emotion: "It's just that Your Majesty is sick, if you can't get out by yourself, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Shen Zhitang raised his head, and his eyes that looked at her narrowed as if he didn't seem to be there: "Oh, has Your Majesty come to this point?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded, and when the words came to her mouth, she held back again, Zhou Zhi killed her family, she didn't know what to do now, and telling Shen Zhitang was just to increase his troubles

Shen Zhitang looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What?" ”

Li Zhilian hurriedly shook his head, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Lin Zhao is dead."

Shen Zhitang nodded: "You said this, is there any problem?" ”

Li Zhi took pity, and then said slowly: "On the way to investigate the case, I met Zhao Qianning and Du Ruoyi in Diaoyutai, and said a few words, they were killed that night, and the way of death was the same as the black-clothed people I killed in Xilin City."

After listening to this, Shen Zhitang flipped through the files on the table, then picked up one of them and said, "You said that it was the daughter of Du Shangshu's family and the murder of the daughter of Lord Zhao's family?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded "um~" and said, "That day, His Majesty sent someone to summon me into the palace, I was worried about the teacher, so I left first, if they received the news of our return, they should come to summon me soon"

Shen Zhitang took a deep breath: "This matter, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, the teacher will guarantee you until tomorrow, you have a good rest tonight"

Li Zhilian nodded and saluted Shen Zhitang to leave

"Wait a minute" Shen Zhitang saw that she had already walked to the door, stretched out his hand and handed her the two pieces of black jade, "This thing is still kept by you, the teacher is more at ease"

Li Zhipian looked at him in surprise, and said for a long time: "I'll write a prescription tomorrow and let Brother Shen Chun go get the medicine."

Shen Zhitang smiled, patted her shoulder and said, "Go back and have a good rest!" ”

Li Zhilian put the two pieces of jade into the hilt of the knife, saluted Shen Zhitang and retreated

After thinking about it, she decided to go to Zhou's Mansion first.

Leaving the silence of the ten thousand households in Ning City, she had just jumped onto the eaves, and there were footsteps behind her: "Sympathy? ”

Li Zhilian turned around and said in surprise: "Senior brother~ Are you back?" ”

Li Jianqing looked at her and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Li Zhilian scratched the back of his head: "I'll go to Zhou's Mansion to find Zhou Gongzi for something."

Li saw a faint "um" and said, "Come back early"

Li Zhilian was stunned! She thought that Li Jianqing would be angry or want to accompany her or something, so she just said "um" and it was over?
