Chapter 60: My heart is a little cold
As soon as Zhuang Siyan saw Xiao Guiren come out, he understood everything.
Xiao Guiren's father, Xiao Anguo, was far from dealing with Zhuang Changyuan, so at this time, Xiao Guiren was also uneasy when she saw her changed appearance.
Zhuang Siyan didn't want to embarrass her, just chatted a few words casually, saying that he lived in the Xuan Palace, very close to her Lingshuang Pavilion, and it was snowing so thick today, so he was idle, so he came to talk to her.
He also asked her if she wanted to go out to enjoy the snow.
Xiao Guiren's face was about to freeze, and he said that the weather was cold and she was unwell, so she wouldn't go out.
So Zhuang Siyan came out after sitting for half a cup of tea.
She rested quietly in the Xuan Hall for an afternoon, and when it was dusk, she estimated that it was time for all the ministers to go home for dinner, and then went outside again.
Lan Xin ran with her for a day, and when she saw that she was about to go out after changing her clothes, she was anxious: "Miss, the emperor is coming back soon, why do you want to change into men's clothes again?" ”
Zhuang Siyan looked at her and asked, "When the emperor comes back, does it have anything to do with me changing into men's clothes?" ”
Lan Xin: "......"
Is it okay? You are an emperor's concubine, you have nothing to do and walk around in men's clothes, aren't you afraid that the emperor will arrest you?
This was useful in the past, but now it doesn't work, the emperor's tolerance for Zhuang Siyan can't even be seen by Lan Xin, so he can only swallow his anger.
And after Zhuang Siyan changed his clothes, he left them all behind, and didn't take any of them out, and went to Wenyuan Pavilion alone.
She had Ling Tiancheng's secret order, and it was easy to enter such a place.
So it was easy to find Luo Ke's desk.
Zhuang Changyuan's case is not on the table, there are just some inconsequential case files on it.
However, Zhuang Siyan took a closer look at where Luo Ke was doing things, and soon found that this adult was really different from others.
His bookcase was clean and tidy, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all neatly placed, and the few randomly placed case files looked very incongruous, as if they were done on purpose.
And the pen he used was also very clean, and there was not a single mess on it.
This Lord Luo may be a little obsessive-compulsive, Zhuang Siyan thought, but why did he just put these cases like this?
Is he doing it every day, or is it just this day?
It's a pity that Zhuang Siyan can't go out of the palace at will, otherwise she would want to go to Luo Ke's house to have a look, and only by seeing the situation at his house can she accurately judge what kind of person this is.
In addition to Luo Ke, Zhuang Siyan also focused on finding Xiao Anguo's location.
But she didn't find it, because an official position like Xiao Guiren's father has not yet reached the level of having a book case in this kind of place, he is just an errand runner.
Wenyuan Pavilion, the upper study, and the main Ying Palace, including the places where other ministers might go, Zhuang Siyan walked through them all.
There are still some gains, although the information is trivial, but this kind of case is a little bit of a flaw.
She was not discouraged, secretly remembered the details of her observations, and went out to go back.
When encountering patrolling guards on the road, as long as Ling Tiancheng's pass order was presented, basically no one would look at him more.
Zhuang Siyan walked and walked, and his feet turned a corner.
Since the pass order is so good, Ling Tiancheng should also leave the Chenxi Palace at this time, why don't he go in there again and have a look?
Zhuang Siyan had always been worried in her heart that the mystery in Ling Tiancheng's case of earthquake gold was more complicated than Zhuang Changyuan's case, and it was related to her employer, so it aroused her curiosity.
When the people of Chenxi Hall saw the token, they all let her go and let her go in and out.
Zhuang Siyan took a lamp that was placed outside the palace and went inside.
She quickly found Ling Tiancheng's case file, and summarized the characters in it again, and unexpectedly saw a name.
Luo Ke.
In this case, Luo Ke's role is also to protect Ling Tiancheng.
He even ignored the anger of the emperor at that time, and defended Ling Tiancheng in the court, saying that he was a dignified prince and would not do such a thing.
The strange thing is that there is no evidence for this matter, it has become an unjust case, and it is still a stain on Ling Tiancheng.
What role does Luo Ke play in the DPRK?
Judging from the situation at that time, Ling Tiancheng was just a prince who had no rights and was not favored.
He has been living abroad all the year round, and the first case he received when he entered the imperial city was the earthquake disaster, and it turned out to be wrong.
This is a capital crime that has lost its head, and even the most incorruptible minister can see it clearly.
And at that time, Ling Tiancheng didn't show his talent at all, and others didn't know how powerful he was, let alone see his future development.
So after this incident, almost no one was on his side in the Manchu Dynasty, only Luo Ke was surprised.
Of course, he didn't come up with evidence that Ling Tiancheng didn't commit a crime, he just asked the emperor over and over again to re-investigate the case thoroughly.
The last time he watched it, Zhuang Siyan had actually seen the name and pointed it out to Ling Tiancheng.
It's just that too many things happened in the middle, she went out of the palace again, and when she came back, she also changed her role, so she put the matter aside for the time being.
It wasn't until Zhuang Changyuan's case fell into Luo Ke's hands that she saw his name from here that she felt that this person was really weird.
Zhuang Siyan tapped the case file lightly with his fingertips, his eyes swept over the words on it line by line, and finally stayed on the person who wrote the case file.
Wenyuan Pavilion bachelor, now the official residence is the second grade, Wen Min.
When Ling Tiancheng's case was written, he was still just a nominal bachelor, and his official position was in the sixth grade.
Over the years, Wen Min has risen very fast!
Zhuang Siyan quickly looked through other case files, and there were really a lot of cases in Wen Min's hands, and they were all big and important cases, and the most important thing was a headless case.
Regularity is a good thing, and once discovered, it will find its soft nodes.
And Wen Min has been listed separately by Zhuang Siyan at this time.
It's just that she can't meet this person openly.
She has seen Luo Ke today, he will definitely be suspicious, and it will hinder her, the file on her bookcase is likely to be prepared for Zhuang Siyan.
As long as she moves, Luo Ke will be able to find out tomorrow.
She also really moved, and she also wanted to give the other party an assumption: Yes, someone paid attention to him, and turned over his things, it is very likely that he is looking for Zhuang Changyuan's case, this person can still come and go freely in the palace, so Luo Ke must be very careful.
The more careful you are, the more likely it is to make mistakes, and something that is deliberately maintained will always attract more attention.
Zhuang Changyuan's case was known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and there was nothing wrong with Zhuang Siyan doing this.
But Ling Tiancheng's case, she didn't think about making it public.
Today, this case is still in his Chenxi Palace, and after so many years, most people have ignored it, and it is a good time for Zhuang Siyan to take action.
She sorted out the case, thought about it, put it back in its place, and then withdrew from the Chenxi Palace.
The snow was still fluttering in the sky, and a new layer had been laid on top of the old one.
Zhuang Siyan's footprints when she came were almost invisible, she put back the lamp she had taken off, then carried the hem of her clothes, and walked back along the road.
At night, the palace is still quiet and peaceful, with lights everywhere, illuminating the snowflakes in various colors, and beautiful pieces falling from the sky, like dazzling flowers.
There was only the small sound of "Suosuo" all around, and nothing else.
Zhuang Siyan walked very carefully, as if he was afraid of stepping on the snowflakes, he tried to take his steps lightly, and almost carried himself forward.
From time to time, I have to look back at the footprints I have stepped on, the outer eight-figure, the inner eight-figure, and the "T" shape, the deliberately made puppy feet, horseshoe prints, .......
Like a regular picture scroll, spread out on the road of the palace, it is very beautiful.
She walked seriously, and didn't notice when there was an extra person in front of her, until she bumped into the person, and then she realized: "Oh, what are you doing standing here?" It's all messed up with my paintings. ”
Ling Tiancheng asked, "What painting?" ”
Zhuang Siyan turned his head to look behind him and looked at him in a little surprise: "Why are you?" ”
"Who do you think it is?"
Zhuang Siyan paused: "No one, just thinking about you at this moment, shouldn't you go to sleep in the palace of a mother?" How are you standing here?
Oh yes, why are you still alone, don't you have to follow you? ”
As for the way she spoke, although Ling Tiancheng listened a lot and gradually got used to it, he was still a little speechless.
didn't answer her question, but asked her, "Why are you here?" Shouldn't I be waiting in the palace for me to be pampered at this time? ”
Zhuang Siyan snorted: "Don't make trouble Ling Xuan, we are now in an employment relationship, this is not suitable for that, so you better refrain from it!" ”
Ling Tiancheng raised his eyebrows: "Don't forget, you are already my concubine, and we already have ...... that." ”
"Stop" Zhuang Siyan was a little panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly declared to Ling Tiancheng: "Before, I didn't know that you were going to ask me to take over the case, so I was confused by beauty for a while, and it was my fault."
But it's different now, now I'm a detective, you're my employer, if we have other messy relationships, it will affect the progress of my investigation.
Your Majesty, you don't want to watch a case drag on for several years without a result, do you? ”
She stepped back as she spoke, while Ling Tiancheng listened and pressed forward, forcibly squeezing her to the edge of the palace wall, and with a clasp of her arm, she had already wrapped Zhuang Siyan's whole person into her arms.
The hot breath he breathed melted away the snow in the vicinity and pounced on Zhuang Siyan's face, making her itch, and her heartbeat accelerated.
Zhuang Siyan tried his best to push his chest with his little hand: "What, talk well, don't squeeze me against the wall, cool ......"
Before he finished speaking, his body was light, and he had been dragged into someone's arms, and then he heard a whisper in his ear in time: "So what? Is it still cool? ”
Zhuang Siyan held back for a long time before a sentence came out: "It's ...... It's good, but my heart is a little cold. ”
Then, the lips that had been in her ears suddenly shifted and moved directly to the corners of her mouth.
Ling Tiancheng was snorting hot air as he had already put his lips to hers.
"So what?" He asked.
Zhuang Siyan couldn't answer.
Because at this moment, her whole person was embraced by men, except for a small head, everything else had been tightly covered by Ling Tiancheng's clothes.
Naturally it is not cold.
