After the Mid-Autumn Festival, ^

Zi Ling no longer went for a walk in the garden, and his homework every night was replaced by copying and reading.

One night, Zi Ling was practicing calligraphy under the lamp, when suddenly there was a noise outside, and there was a noise. Before he could ask what was going on, Zhan Zhan rushed into the study, and he asked nervously, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

For so long, Ziling had never seen Zhan Zhan so reckless. In the past, he always accompanied her quietly, silent and calm. What's going on today? What made him so nervous?

"Did something happen? Brother Zhan is so nervous? ”

"The Assassin was spotted on the side of Siyein, and by the time the Imperial Guards arrived, the Assassin had already fled. The slave was afraid that something would happen to the mother, so he came in and hoped that the mother would forgive the sins. ”

"Assassins? What about the emperor? How is the emperor? Zi Ling was so anxious that she suddenly became nervous about Meng Hongyu. She didn't want anything to happen to him!

"Minions...... I don't know. ”

"Let's go! Let's go to Siye Academy. She hurried to the Siye Academy.

There was a lot of noise in the Siye Courtyard, the eunuchs and palace ladies went in and out, and the imperial guards searched carefully in the courtyard.

Zi Ling saw a palace maid holding a basin of water in her hand, and a blood-stained towel was soaked in the water. Her heart tugged, could it be that he was hurt? Is the injury serious? Or is it already ......

She didn't dare to think any further, and rushed into Liu Wanruo's bedroom as fast as she could.

Seeing Meng Hongyu sitting on the chair by the window safely, her hanging heart let go. He's fine! Thank God.

Liu Wanruo was sitting at the table, and the imperial doctor was stopping the bleeding and bandaging her.

Seeing Meng Hongyu frowning tightly, his face full of anger, Zi Ling stood beside him and looked at him quietly. %&*";

How good it is that he is safe and sound. At this moment, she wanted to be by his side, listening to his breathing, watching him get angry. Even if he was worried about other women, she didn't care, as long as he was safe.

After bandaging the wound, the imperial physician reported: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhaorong was injured in the arm, and the wound was not very deep. The minister had already stopped the bleeding for her, and she only needed to rest for a few days. ”

"Well, you step aside."

After a while, the Queen Mother, Concubine De and Concubine Shu all came to Siye Academy, and everyone was relieved to see that the emperor was not injured.

The Queen Mother asked: "Emperor, tell the mourning family what is going on?" ”

Erchen and Liu Zhaorong were drinking tea at the table when a masked man in black broke in and wanted to assassinate Erchen with a sword. Liu Zhaorong stood in front of Erchen, and the assassin panicked and stabbed Liu Zhaorong in the left arm. But the strange thing is that he looked at Erchen and Liu Zhaorong strangely, then jumped out of the window and fled. ”

The Queen Mother was furious: "What about Lu Yao! What a crime to blame for poor protection! ”

"It was Erchen who asked Lu Yao to wait outside the palace, and Erchen didn't expect that there would be assassins in the palace." Meng Hongyu hurriedly protected his close attendants.

"Zi Ling dared to ask, can the emperor see the assassin's face and figure clearly?" Zi Ling couldn't help but ask.

"He is masked, I can't see his appearance clearly, his body is about the same as Lu Yao, looking at his movements, he should be a master, if you want to kill me, it can be said that it is easy. I don't understand why he hesitated for a moment and fled. ”

"Did the emperor see the sword in the assassin's hand?" Just like a detective, Zi Ling was suddenly full of interest in this "case".

"The sword...... It's familiar, let me think about it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That's right! The sword was the Guards' sabre. ”

In the palace, weapons were strictly controlled, and no one except the Imperial Guards wore swords.

"Lu Yao, order the Imperial Forest Army to bring swords and assemble in front of Siye Courtyard!" Without Meng Hongyu speaking, Zi Ling gave orders on his behalf.

After a while, all the guards of the Royal Forest Army arrived, and the Siye Courtyard was brightly lit.

Zi Ling cleared his throat and spoke solemnly: "I think you all know about the assassin in the Siye Courtyard just now. The emperor said that he saw the sword in the assassin's hand, which was the sword of the Imperial Guard. Therefore, everyone present is suspicious. The main palace summoned everyone to find out the assassin, and at the same time, to restore your innocence. ”

Although she is the imperial concubine, she has never put on a stand in front of others, calling herself "this palace". Tonight, in order to play a deterrent role, she put on the majesty of the concubine and called herself "Bengong".

"Please hand over the swords in your hands to Hongu one by one, let Hongu check whether there are blood stains on the swords, and then, Hongu will dip the sword into a barrel." Zi Ling said, pointing to the large wooden barrel placed in front of her.

"This bucket contains a special potion, as long as your sword has been stained with blood for an hour, after soaking in this water, even if the blood stains are wiped off, the sword will change color. Do you understand? ”

Zi Ling began to examine each person's sword one by one.

A tall man with a handsome expression handed the sword into Zi Ling's hand, and after Zi Ling pondered for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Say! Why did you assassinate the emperor? ”

The guard said coldly: "The sword of the lowly has not changed color, why should the mother say that the lowly is an assassin." ”

Zi Ling smiled and announced loudly: "To tell you the truth, the bucket in front of this palace is only filled with ordinary water, not any special medicine. The reason why Hongu wants to say this is to scare everyone. ”

She turned her head and continued to say to the man, "Bengu has already observed your expression, and your eyes are evasive, and you don't dare to look directly at Bengu. And you look relieved to see that your sword has not changed color, if you are not an assassin, why should you be so nervous? ”

"Because it is disrespectful to look directly at the mother, so the humble position has been bowing his head.

"After Hongu took your sword, he found that the hilt of your sword was wet and hot, which means that your palms were sweaty with nervousness, right?"

The man argued, "That's because I sweated all over my body when I came to assemble in a hurry." ”

Zi Ling sneered and said, "More than eight hundred guards, this palace has checked them one by one, and it has been an hour since you were checked, hasn't your sweat dried yet?" ”

"Humble ...... Humble positions are more afraid of heat. ”

"The autumn breeze is cool, it's so cool tonight, I believe no one here will feel hot, right? Isn't it because you're so nervous that you feel hot? ”

"Humble ...... He has always been in poor health and is different from ordinary people. ”

"Not well? So how did you get into the Guards? ”

Zi Ling shouted categorically: "Bold fanatics, you still want to quibble, Bengong has studied criminal psychology, and your abnormal reaction can't escape Bengong's eyes!" "Before the crossing, she had studied law and criminal psychology in college.

"Be lenient in confession, strict in resisting! If you confess truthfully, you will not only avoid torture, but also save many lives. Zi Ling continued to know the pros and cons.

The man was slightly stunned, "Hahaha......", and then he looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so much that everyone present was inexplicable.

After laughing, he said briskly: "Niangniang is really smart, so I admire it." There's nothing to say below, but today it's planted in the hands of Niangniang, and I finally understand my death. ”
