Chapter 1309: Begin the investigation
Bai Xue described what she saw and heard more clearly.
Hearing what she said about the smell of wormwood, Qi Xiaoxian already had a general direction, since Bai Xue gave specific clues, then he had to look in this direction.
"Okay, Concubine Xue, think about it carefully, tell me what you think, but don't think about it deliberately, it will tire Niangniang's body. Rest early, I'll go first. Qi Xiaoxian dropped this sentence and turned to leave.
He knew that Bai Xue and Liao Changkong had been tired for so long just now, and he should leave, let her rest well, and wait until tomorrow to ask.
Bai Xue's face was a little ruddy, and she still couldn't forget Liao Changkong. Imagining the sweet words that Liao Changkong said to herself just now, even if she made her pay for her life, she felt that it was worth it.
Because of such a man, she thinks that no matter how much she pays, it is worth it, he loves herself, and she loves him, and she can feel a steady stream of happiness.
After Qi Xiaoxian left, he went directly to the Taiyi Bureau. It was late when I came to the Taiyi Bureau.
"I've seen adults, I don't know what the adults are saying about coming here so late?" A man dressed in eunuch clothes came to Qi Xiaoxian, he looked different from ordinary eunuchs, and there was a very strong smell of medicine on his body.
"Lord Ben was ordered to investigate the assassination of Concubine Xue, and I came here to ask." The moment Qi Xiaoxian spoke, he sat directly next to him, and the little eunuch hurriedly served tea and poured water for Qi Xiaoxian.
Qi Xiaoxian took the water he sent to him and took a sip of it, he looked at the furnishings next to him, the furnishings here were not much different from the medical hall outside.
"Lord Ben wants to ask you, where do they need to get the wormwood in this palace? Is it possible to go out and buy it? ”
Qi Xiaoxian saw a pile of wormwood next to him and blurted out without hesitation.
Hearing Qi Xiaoxian's words, the little eunuch suddenly laughed, and he felt that what Qi Xiaoxian said was ridiculous.
"There are so many wormwoods in this palace, who would be stupid to go out to buy them, even if an ordinary little palace maid comes here to beg for wormwood, we will give some. There is a lot of wormwood here, and there is an open space behind the palace where wormwood is grown, but they can't leave the palace, so we people from the Imperial Medical Bureau can go over and harvest it!
A few days ago, a palace maid was not feeling well, so she took some wormwood to smoke the house. There are also some eunuchs and palace maids, they always like to take some wormwood back to Xuxu's house. ”
The little eunuch said it very definitely, and he didn't hide it at all.
After listening to his words, Qi Xiaoxian fell into helplessness. Since so many people like wormwood smoked houses, there is no way to check the smell of wormwood.
Qi Xiaoxian stayed here for a while, and then went back to where he lived. At this moment, the moon was already hanging high, and Qi Xiaoxian was not in the mood to sleep.
The emperor handed over such an important matter to him, but he had no clue, and he really felt ashamed of the emperor.
"Hey!" Qi Xiaoxian let out a long sigh.
At that moment, a voice was heard from inside.
Qi Xiaoxian was shocked, he didn't expect that there would be someone here. Qi Xiaoxian didn't hesitate at all, but he had to run over.
Qi Xiaoxian ran over, only to see a person in black clothes running inside, Qi Xiaoxian was angry in his heart, and he immediately pressed this person to the ground.
"Ouch!" A woman's voice came out, Qi Xiaoxian looked down and found that this woman turned out to be Ruan Di.
Qi Xiaoxian was shocked, she never dreamed that Ruan Di would appear here, she hurriedly pulled Ruan Di up from the ground.
"Ruan Di, what are you doing? How did you get here? Qi Xiaoxian was helpless in his heart, he was afraid that he would hurt Ruan Di just now, so he took Ruan Di's hand and looked left and right.
"Qi Xiaoxian is too much! You did this to me, don't you know it's me? Ruan Di blamed Qi Xiaoxian a little and gently slapped Qi Xiaoxian's chest.
Qi Xiaoxian was amused by Ruan Di, he took Ruan Di's hand and kissed it lightly.
"I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, and I will compensate you later." A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Qi Xiaoxian's face.
Ruan Di's face flushed with shame, she knew very well what Qi Xiaoxian meant by compensation. Although she wanted to, she was embarrassed to admit it on the surface, and turned her face away.
"Qi Xiaoxian, you are not ashamed, who asked you to compensate me? I don't want you to compensate me......" Ruan Di said the opposite thing in his mouth, but Qi Xiaoxian instantly debunked her.
"If you don't want me to make amends, then why did you come to me at night? Don't say you don't miss me! You women love duplicity......"
Qi Xiaoxian seems to understand a woman's mind very well, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with what he said. But in Ruan Di's opinion, Qi Xiaoxian is experienced in a hundred battles, otherwise he would not have such a thought.
"Qi Xiaoxian, how do you understand a woman's mind so well? You honestly, is it behind my back to have someone else. Ruan Di's unhappy face was calm.
"Little fool, how could I have someone else, my heart is all about you! If you don't believe me, you can come into my heart and see ......"
Qi Xiaoxian deliberately teased Ruan Di, and Ruan Di wanted to say anything more Qi Xiaoxian, so he directly picked her up from the ground and walked towards the bed.
Ruan Di hooked Qi Xiaoxian's neck and hid shyly in his arms, just like the two of them spent candles in the cave room for the first time.
The two of them spent a whole night sweetly, and by the next morning, Ruan Di was already planning to leave, she was just here to see Qi Xiaoxian. She has the palace entry token given by the emperor before, and she can enter the palace at any time.
"You will investigate the case later, I will go to visit the emperor, and by the way, I will accompany the emperor to play chess." A calm smile appeared on the corner of Ruan Di's lips, and she felt that Qi Xiaoxian should not misunderstand something.
Qi Xiaoxian was unhappy in his heart, but this was Ruan Di's decision, and he still felt that he should follow it, not to mention that he trusted Ruan Di very much.
"Okay, then you can follow the emperor and go back to the restaurant later. I'll go back after investigating the case in the next two days, and even if I can't finish the investigation today, I won't stay here at night. Qi Xiaoxian left a kiss on Ruan Di's face, and he left beforehand.
Ruan Di ate something alone, and then went to the emperor to play chess, and the emperor was naturally happy to agree, and Ruan Di was not willing to release him until dusk.
At this moment, Qi Xiaoxian was still there investigating, and he had no clue for a whole day.
"My lord, will this investigation be fruitless? That person may have already fled, how could so many little eunuchs in the palace be able to distinguish them one by one......
The little eunuch next to him was helpless, he also hoped to find out that person as soon as possible and avenge their master's blood hatred, but doing so was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Qi Xiaoxian lowered his head and was silent and did not speak, and suddenly a thought came to his head. -
