Although it was a day of rest, the people of Beiya did not rest.

At the moment when Chu Yi took Shen Shu's wrist and entered the main hall, the flying fish guards who came and went immediately stopped.

After a few days ago, after a drastic clean-up by the emperor's order, those who remain in the Beiya are all Chu Yi's cronies.

They were familiar with the appearance of every chamberlain in the palace, and the moment they saw Shen Shu, they knew that she was not a real chamberlain.

In addition, most of the Flying Fish Guards are good at investigating cases, and their observations are meticulous and their eyesight is amazing.

The distance was close, and almost the moment he saw Shen Shu, he found the ear piercings on her earlobes.

It's a woman.

His Royal Highness King Yi, who is glorious and majestic in their hearts, does not eat fireworks in the world, and is famous, actually led a woman into the North Ya!

This realization made the Flying Fish Guards quickly exchange glances with each other.

In addition to their curiosity, they unconsciously cast a lot of critical glances at this woman who could win the favor of King Yi.

Shen Shu was held by Chu Yi's wrist, and as soon as she entered the hall, she felt that there were countless eyes that fell on her.

The cold and deep hall is so quiet that it can be heard as if a needle has dropped on the ground.

If it weren't for a warm and firm internal force, it continued to pass from Chu Yi's palm and into Shen Shu's wrist through the clothes-

She may feel that she is a prisoner who has been forcibly taken in for interrogation.

"Bring the ashes." Chu Yi walked to the black desk in the middle of the main hall before letting go of Shen Shu's hand and ordering to the flying fish guard beside him.

Flying Fish Wei got the order, and quickly took out a black lacquer box from the dark compartment on the side of the main hall and presented it in front of Chu Yi.

Chu Yi took the lacquer box, opened it, and placed it on the desk.

"The palace maid was poisoned in the incense burner, and this is the incense ash left in the incense burner that day. I have already been tested by a doctor, but no toxicity has been detected. The father's body was only a little frightened, and nothing wrong was found. ”

These words finally relieved Shen Shu from the restraint of being scrutinized.

She looked at the incense ash in the lacquer box, and without thinking about it, she put her hand in it, and twisted a pinch and put it on the tip of her nose.

This familiar action made many Flying Fish Guards who looked at her look surprised.

Could it be that they are all wrong?

This person is not the sweetheart of the King of Lights, but was only captured by the King of Lights to work?

At this moment, Shen Shu had no time to take care of anything else, and was completely attracted by the hidden smell in the incense ash.

She frowned, didn't look up, and asked casually: "Since His Highness said that no poison was detected in these incense ashes, how did you know that this incense ashes were poisoned by the palace maid?" “

"It was my father who found it."

Chu Yi's voice was slightly deep: "Father said that he smelled a peculiar smell and ordered someone to remove this incense burner to thoroughly investigate the person who burned the incense." Then Feiyuwei found that the palace maid had committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake after being on duty at night. ”

He said, staring at Shen Shu's side face: "But what did you find?" ”

Shen Shu looked solemn, put her hand into the lacquer box again, and in the pile of incense ashes, she played back and forth, twisted it one by one, picked out a few black particles the size of a grain of rice, and put them in the palm of her hand.

After repeating this several times, she presented the black particles picked out from her palm to Chu Yi's eyes, raised her eyes and asked, "Has the imperial doctor ever tested it, what are these things?" ”

Chu Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"The doctor speculated that this should be the impurities in the incense pills, and it was not found to be poisonous."

"It's not a shomaru." Shen Shu said in a low voice: "It's the remnants of the burning wings of the bat bird. ”

As she spoke, her eyes drooped again, she hesitated for a few moments, and said, "The bat's wings are extremely thin, and if they are cut into small pieces, it will be difficult to find them mixed in the incense pills. And after the bat bird is burned, there will be a special fishy smell...... If you are sensitive to this smell, you can easily detect it even if it is mixed in the incense pill.

And...... In the trough under the floor tiles of the palace maid's house, among the scum that had been melted by the corpse grass, there was flesh, white bones, and black mixed with black ...... It must be the body of a bat bird. ”

These words made Chu Yi's expression slightly condensed.

He instantly understood the meaning of Shen Shu's words-

After the bat bird is burned, it will have a fishy smell, which can only be easily detected by those who are sensitive to this smell.

That night, it was my father who noticed that the smell of the incense burner was different.

This also means that the father smelled and recognized the smell for the first time.

Thinking of this, Chu Yi couldn't help but think of what his father had told him earlier: "Thirty years ago, the emperor's grandfather sent my relatives to lead a large army to Yunjiang to sweep the Medicine King Valley. I was accidentally injured by a bat bird, and my body fell into an old disease......"

He thought of his father's body for the past few days, although he continued to take medicine, he never got better......

He immediately understood that the recurrence of his father's old illness was related to the bat's wings in this incense pill.

However, why did his father not mention anything about him, and kept letting him investigate thoroughly in the palace with great fanfare?

What's the mystery in this?

Shen Shu saw that he didn't say a word for a long time, and asked the question in his heart in a low voice: "The bat bird is a thing outside the gate, how could it fly thousands of miles into the forbidden court, and it was used by the palace maid to poison the saint?" ”

"I'm afraid it didn't fly in, someone sent it in." Chu Yi said in a deep voice.

Shen Shu's face changed slightly, and now in this capital, the only one who can have anything to do with the batbird -

I'm afraid that there is only the "national teacher" of Western Hungary, that is, Chu Zhan, the only son of the "deceased" Ten Princes!

"Are you suspicious of 'him'?" Shen Shu asked thoughtfully.

Because she was in full view of everyone, it was inconvenient for her to ask Chu Zhan's name directly, so she could only bite the word "he" to hint.

Chu Yi came back to his senses, and his phoenix eyes looked at Shen Shu: "Worried about him?" ”

"No, I'm not worried."

Shen Shu shook his head decisively and replied truthfully: "I believe it must not be him." ”

She knew that Chu Zhan knew a lot about her "previous life".

If he wanted to kill the emperor, the emperor would have died a long time ago.

Shen Shu's determined tone made Chu Yi's eyes darken, and there was a little unpleasantness in his heart.

He said lightly: "But I've only known him for a few days, but I trust him beyond ordinary, and I don't think I ...... this king at the beginning."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yi was shocked that something was wrong, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and his lips were pursed.

Even so, except for Shen Shu, the Flying Fish Guards who were standing beside him, without exception, all heard a strong sense of vinegar from these unfinished words.

The lowered eyes of the Flying Fish Guards trembled in unison.

At this moment, no one in this hall will think that this little girl who pretended to be a eunuch was arrested by His Highness to work.

With His Royal Highness's temperament, he will not be "jealous" of a woman who is caught to work.

This girl must be the person on the tip of His Highness's heart.

Shen Shu, who has always been nervous about this kind of thing, waited for a long time and didn't see King Yi finish speaking.

She asked curiously, "Nothing?" ”

All:......

Chu Yi flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned away from looking at her.

"That's it, let's go, it's not early, I'll send you out of the palace."

After saying this, he stiffened his face, grabbed Shen Shu's wrist as he had come, and led her out.

Shen Shu was a little stunned by this sudden move.

She was passively led out of the Beiya by Chu Yi and walked towards the palace gate.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the palace gate, Shen Shu was anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness said that after entering the palace, you will tell me who the pair of master and servant in Mu Huayuan is, I have done so many things for Your Highness today, when does Your Highness plan to tell me?" Xiao Qingxue's life can't wait too long. ”

However, as soon as her words fell, she heard a voice calling from behind: "Your Royal Highness King Yi, please stay, the Queen Mother is invited." ”
