Qu Youying glanced at him and asked instead of answering, "Why are you here?" Did you find a thousand rhinos? ”

"Nope." Speaking of this, Xie Xiaoer's eyes flashed, he lowered his head, and said a little lonely, "I have found a lot of places and used some connections, but I haven't found her." ”

"It's right not to find it."

Qu Youying said.

Since the fire broke out in Shuifu and the death of "Shui Junyu", Xie Xiaoer has been looking for a thousand rhinos everywhere, but the thousand rhinos are like evaporating from the world, and there is nowhere to find them.

Qu Youying wanted him not to look for it, because it was impossible to find it.

But Mu Jingzhu said that if he didn't do something, he would be uncomfortable.

"Why? Have you spotted a thousand rhinos? Tell me quickly. ”

Sure enough, as soon as he heard about Qianxi, Xie Xiaoer became excited, he grabbed Qu Youying's sleeve, and his eyes suppressed the outburst of forbearance and deep longing.

Qu Youying raised her hand, slapped him on the forehead, and asked instead of answering, "Didn't you just want to ask me why I was so kind to Shui Wuyue?" ”

Xie Xiaoer was stunned for a while, and then said, "Why?" Does it have anything to do with the thousand rhinos? ”

"Jing Candle and I suspect that the disappearance of the thousand rhinos is related to the death of Shui Junyu." Qu Youying patted his hand holding his sleeve and said comfortingly, "You want to know why, let's go back and talk about it, there are many people here, and it is inevitable that someone will listen to the corner." ”

"Okay."

Xie Xiaoer nodded, let go of her hand, and urged her to go back to Shui Linze's yard as soon as possible like a child.

How did they know that when they returned to the courtyard, they were blocked.

The person who came looked fierce and vicious, and he didn't look at Xie Xiaoer, so he said straight to Qu Youying, "You, come in, our prince wants to see you." ”

The person's tone was not good, and he looked arrogant, Xie Xiaoer was not happy to see it, and immediately stopped in front of Qu Youying, and said angrily, "Even if the prince wants to see someone, he must know how to be polite and thoughtful!" How can you be so rude! ”

"Who are you? Dare to say this about my lord! Be careful to get you caught! ”

"Do you still think I'm afraid of you? This is a water mansion, not your prince's mansion, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. ”

"You're so bold, someone-"

"Come on, arrest this lowly subordinate for me."

The man also wanted to ask someone to arrest Xie Xiaoer, but was interrupted by a voice raised behind him.

Surrounded by guards and maids, King Yi walked to the front of the courtyard and ordered someone to directly arrest the guard and drag him away.

He also put on a polite appearance, and said to Xie Xiaoer, "Gongzi Xie, this person's etiquette is not correct, it is because this king is not strict in discipline, and this king will definitely not let this kind of thing happen in the future." ”

Xie Xiaoer wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qu Youying, Qu Youying glanced at him, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Qu Youying walked to his side, saluted King Yi, and said with a smile, "Qu Youying has seen His Royal Highness King Yi. I don't know what is the important matter for His Royal Highness King Yi to find the people's daughter? ”

"Miss Qu is polite, please come inside."

He was not polite, and directly invited Qu Youying to speak inside, and his momentum did not look like a guest at all, as if he had become the master here.

And this courtyard is Shui Linze.

In other words, from a certain aspect, it can be said that Shui Linze and Yiwang have an unknown deal, otherwise Yiwang would not be so blatant even if he didn't put people in his eyes again.

But!

Qu Youying followed behind King Yi and walked inside, a hint of imperceptible gloom flashed in her bright eyes.

However, since King Yi entered the Water Mansion, he has always been the same as King Ji, keeping one side motionless and not favoring either side of the two young masters in the mansion.

But now King Yi took the initiative to appear in Shui Linze's courtyard.

In addition to the above speculation, there is also a possibility that Shui Linze is forced to make a choice.

After all, everyone knows that the heir of Shuifu will be born between Shui Wuze and Shui Lin Ze. Over the years, although Shuifu has not been in the court, it still maintains a certain influence in the court.

This time, the emperor ordered two East Palace contenders to come to Shuifu to celebrate his birthday, presumably for this reason.

But the problem is that the Taijun of Shuifu is now fake, and although there is only Shui Wuyue left as a candidate for the crown princess, there is no guarantee that it is her.

If the guess in Qu Youying's heart is true, then the old lady may not choose an heir between Shui Wuze and Shui Linze.

Jiang Tong must have figured this out a long time ago, so although he leaned to the side of Shui Mist, he was also lukewarm to him, and maintained a neutral position in Shuifu for several days.

But King Yi is not Jiang Tong, and the scheming city has never been as deep as him, and when he appeared in Shui Linze's courtyard today, he must have wanted to make a move.

Qu Youying pinched her palm, and within a few steps of her life, she had already thought about all the possibilities.

But even so, she was also lacking in skills, she and Xie Xiaoer were trapped here, unable to inform Mu Jingzhu, she could only hope that Yun Shu, who was waiting for her to come back in this courtyard, could see this scene, and then ran out smartly to ventilate the news.

"Miss Qu's face is solemn, but she is not feeling well?"

"I was tired from the autopsy yesterday, and I didn't have a good rest at night, so it didn't get in the way. Thank you for your concern. ”

"It's okay, if Miss Qu faints here or something else, it's hard for this king to explain to someone."

"The prince laughed." Qu Youying said, "The prince is above 10,000 people alone, who dares to ask the prince about his discomfort?" ”

King Yi turned a corner in the corridor in front of him, and directly took Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer to the pavilion in the courtyard, and when he heard Qu Youying say this, he had a smile on his face that he worked hard to maintain, and said, "Who else can there be, isn't it the ninth brother of this king." Although the ninth brother didn't say it, but in the eyes of this king, he took great pains for you and did a lot of things that were not in line with this king! ”

"Don't say that, how dare the people dare to climb King Ji? The two princes are both high-ranking figures, and the folk girl is just the daughter of a businessman, so she dare not let the prince take it to heart. ”

What she said was true.

Although King Ji helped her a lot, after all, he was a prince and one of the contenders for the prince, and approaching her would definitely not be because he was purely interested.

And this King Yi, he is a character who has assassinated her many times behind her back, and she doesn't dare to offend.

King Yi didn't poke it either, and invited her to sit down in the pavilion, but Xie Xiaoer was isolated and guarded and couldn't leave.

And in the pavilion, after the people served tea, there were only her and Yiwang.

Qu Youying looked around, King Yi made it clear that he wanted to talk to her alone, but he didn't hide it.

She was a little unsure of what he was going to do.

"Lord Wang, I came here today to find the people's daughter, it shouldn't be as simple as drinking tea, right? If there is anything, the prince might as well say it directly. If the people know, they will definitely tell them all. ”

After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for King Yi to speak, Qu Youying didn't want to wait any longer, so he could only take the initiative to open his mouth and gave him a step down.

Sure enough, after hearing her last sentence, King Yi grinned and said, "Then please tell Miss Qu that you disguised yourself as a man and the results of the female corpse when you first entered the Water Mansion." ”

Qu Youying's hand to get the teacup was in mid-air, slightly stagnant.

"The prince wants to ask about the corpse?"

"Yes." King Yi explained, "This king is not ambiguous, before entering the mansion, he has heard about some things in the water mansion, plus some recent events, I think they all started from the corpse, cause and effect, there must be a cause to have an effect, so we have to start from the root." That corpse was the corpse examined by Miss Qu at the beginning, and afterwards Miss Qu strongly requested that it not be destroyed and sent to Yizhuang for embalming, so at that time, Miss Qu felt that the corpse was abnormal, right? ”

"Yes." Qu Youying was not ambiguous, she said bluntly, "But that corpse, a few days ago, in Yizhuang, has disappeared." The prince has a lot of ears and eyes, so he should know about it, right? ”

"Not bad. But this king still wants to know from Miss Qu's mouth if there are other differences found in that corpse. ”

Qu Youying frowned, she had only told Mu Jingzhu and Shui Linze about the suspicion of the corpse.

Now that King Yi is asking like this, could it be that Shui Linze really told him everything.

However, if he told him that if King Yi wanted to know more, it would be more convenient for Shui Linze to come forward to trap her, and he would not expose King Yi himself too much.

Could it be that —

In just the blink of an eye, Qu Youying already had a positive answer in her heart to what today's King Yi did.

She reached out and grabbed the glass, smiled lightly, and said, "Yes." The largest is the jade key. The key is swallowed directly into the body, and it has been embalmed, which should be a more important thing, so that the deceased would rather die than be preserved. But she was unlucky enough to meet me and get it back in front of everyone. But as for what the key was for, the people didn't know. ”

"Miss Qu, this king is not asking about what was obtained from that corpse. This king wanted to know if in the eyes of a puppet, with Miss Qu's ingenuity, could know the true identity of the corpse. ”

King Yi seemed to be just chatting, and his tone was kind, but at the same time, the majesty that burst out of his body was still suppressed on Qu Youying's body.

Suppressing one person invisibly is not something that everyone can do.

But even if someone can do it, not everyone will be suppressed to the point where they can't resist.

Coincidentally, Qu Youying is the latter.

She let go of the teacup, picked up the teapot, and got up to add some tea to Yiwang's teacup.

"Lord Wang, since you know the corpse, you should know that the corpse is highly decomposed, and no one in the entire Shuifu knows about the existence of such an old person, let alone any witnesses, etc., so who this person is, the people really don't know."

"I'm afraid I don't know. Miss Qu is the heir to the art of painting skin, and you can restore the appearance of any corpse, whether it is rotten or white bones. Why, didn't you draw a portrait at that time, and kept it for backup? ”

The smile on Qu Youying's face did not diminish in the slightest, and when she learned that King Yi's purpose was not the jade key, she guessed that what King Yi wanted to know was the identity of the corpse.

So when he asked, she wasn't surprised, and she didn't show any flaws.

"Draw a portrait and keep it for later?" She took a sip of tea and smiled deeply, "The prince has wronged the people's daughter." If there is a portrait of a folk girl, she will take it out at that time, or tell the third or fourth son. After all, the affairs of Shuifu have nothing to do with the people's daughter, who is responsible for the autopsy, and the purpose is only to help solve the case. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can go to any place where the people have stayed these days. ”

Yiwang has always maintained a kind complexion, and after all, in Qu Youying's last sentence, there was a collapse, which also made Qu Youying even more sure that he would ask this, but he was just framing her.

If he really had the handle in his hand, he wouldn't have invited her so politely, and if he asked so kindly, he would have taken out the drawings directly.

As for the origin of the drawings, it can be disguised under any pretext.

"Miss Qu, it seems that this king underestimated you. In the water mansion, there are many dangers, why don't you do it in the next few days, you-"

"Is the fifth brother robbing people with the ninth brother? The ninth brother is going to be angry. ”

Qu Youying looked for prestige and saw Jiang Tong, Shui Linze, Shui Mist Ze and Mu Jing Candle all appear on the nine-song corridor outside the pavilion.

And they were followed by Yun Shu.

Qu Youying smiled slightly in her eyes, and she was completely relieved in her heart.
