Chapter Twenty-Six: Exploring the Prince's Mansion at Night
On moonless nights, heavy black filled the whole world, and the June wind did not cool the body, but added to the irritability and stuffiness.
The sound of the husband holding the gong and beating the gong came from afar, and it was very clear in the quiet night.
Shen Lingjun's squatting leg was numb, and he changed his posture to beat his legs, and the Hou Mansion below was still calm as if no one was there, and as the lights of the last window went out, the whole mansion fell into deep darkness.
"No, is it a miscalculation," Shen Lingjun snapped, slapped his palm on his neck, scratched it, scratched, "hiss~ It's so itchy." ”
Su Musha was also helpless, as if mosquitoes didn't bite others, so they stared at Shen Lingjun and bites.
Shen Lingjun looked at him dissatisfied, "Obviously, your white clothes are much more conspicuous than mine!" ”
Su Musha thought about it for a moment, "Probably you are wearing too red, it thinks it's blood." ”
"Yay~" Shen Lingjun was so surprised that he forgot to scratch the itch, "Are you joking?" ”
Su Musha didn't have any expression on his face, but in the dim light, he could see a pair of bright eyes full of banter.
"Shh~ Someone is coming," Luo Cheng, who was also squatting, reminded the two.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha immediately became serious and looked in the same direction together.
An inconspicuous small door opened, and the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion came in with a person and walked briskly towards Hou Yan's study.
Shen Lingjun raised his chin at Su Mu and motioned to listen?
So, Luo Cheng and the play continued to stay in place, Su Musha followed Shen Lingjun's body and moved, and the person floated over.
On the other side of the roof, Shen Lingjun gently hooked her toes, and the tiles flew up, and she easily received them in her hand.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows, his movements were very skillful, and he seemed to be doing this less.
Shen Lingjun smiled smugly at him and gently put down the tile.
The candlelight inside came through the gap in the roof, and the two of them held their breath and did not dare to make a single movement.
There were two people in the room, the one standing was dressed in a gray robe, an ordinary face that made people forget it, his figure was a little rich, he stood sideways by the candlelight, and the black shadow on the wall covered half of his face, inexplicably showing a bit of gloomy.
There was also a man about forty years old, with a square face and no thick eyebrows, he was wearing a light blue dress, sat down leisurely, showed a trace of nobility with his gestures, and his left hand unconsciously stroked the wrench of his right thumb, and was talking, "Are you ready?" ”
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, the person in the gray robe should be Hou Yan, and the other one didn't know who it was.
Shen Lingjun frowned, a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Hou Yan had an evil smile on his face that was not in harmony with his ordinary face, "Please rest assured, Lord, everything is ready and there is no problem." ”
Shen Lingjun raised his eyebrows, the master, which master?
Su Musha shook his head, and then listened.
The square face hummed in satisfaction, and then said: "Be careful, don't be careless, the Lord has been planning for so long, you can't make a mistake, otherwise you'll ......" Fang Yan glanced at Hou Yan, "You should know the consequences." ”
Hou Yan nodded again and again, "I know, I know, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent, and I will guarantee that nothing goes wrong, and I will call him die before I know it." ”
Fang Mian nodded, pondering for a moment, "The last time I made a rash move, it has already attracted people's attention, don't go out in the mansion these days, and don't contact me, if there is something, I will ask someone to inform you." ”
"Elder rest assured," Hou Yan said: "Even if those people find out about me, they won't know the master's plan, at most I will have another golden cicada to come out of the shell." ”
Fang Face glanced at him, "Well, be cautious," he said, and stood up, "Those people, I'll send someone to deal with them, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha outside stepped back, thinking at the same time, Lord? Elder? When did a mysterious sect come out recently, I haven't heard of it.
"Then ......" Hou Yan hesitated, and said a little cautiously, "Elder, the antidote ......"
Fang Face put one hand behind his back, muttered silently, and only after a long time touched a box from his arms and handed it over, saying: "Originally, you messed up, and the Lord wanted to punish you, but I interceded for you, and you did it yourself." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you Elder, my subordinates will be the liver and brain, and the Lord and the elders will never give up," Hou Yan hunched over and held the box, not knowing whether he was excited or sick, his hands trembled.
Hou Yan sent Fang Mian out, and Shen Lingjun and Su Musha returned to their original places.
L.A. asked the two, "How's it going?" ”
Shen Lingjun pinched his chin with his index finger and thumb and thought about it, and asked Luo Cheng, "Have you heard of any new sects established in the rivers and lakes recently?" ”
Luo Cheng rolled his eyes, "It seems that you are the Jianghu people." ”
As soon as the two talked about what had just happened, Los Angeles gestured to follow the square face.
"Oops, I remember," Shen Lingjun suddenly shouted, letting out all the frightened breath when he was about to use light skills.
Shen Lingjun waved his hand, "No need to follow, I know who this person is, go back and ask a few people to go around his house to keep an eye on, now the main thing is to figure out first, what they are planning and whose life they want." ”
During the play, he crossed his arms and looked at the sky, "What can an outsider do?" ”
Su Mu looked at Shen Lingjun and said, "To be precise, it is the boss of the Silk Village." ”
"Ah, by the way," Luo Cheng remembered, "a kind of purple cloud silk produced by Hou Yan's family is used by the palace, this kind of satin is light and soft, the fabric is spiced, and it can also suppress sweating in summer, it is very expensive, and a horse is worth a thousand gold." ”
Shen Lingjun frowned, "Could it be that he wants to harm the people in the palace." ”
Anything, with a goal, it is easy to do, and after some discussion, everyone decided to wait and see what happened.
Luo Cheng and the play continued to stare at the Hou Mansion, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha went back first, and Su Musha returned to Su Mansion halfway.
As soon as Shen Lingjun arrived in the backyard, he saw Zhao Qizhen coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, and the aroma wafting over made people greedy. Shen Lingjun touched his stomach, a little hungry, so he simply went into the kitchen, the cook had just finished cleaning up, ready to go to bed, and when he saw Shen Lingjun, he happily turned on the stove again and cooked her a bowl of mushroom chicken noodles.
When you are full of food and drink, you will fall asleep beautifully.
In the early morning, "Let's click~", woke up Shen Lingjun, opened his eyes and opened the window to look, a civet cat slipped away from his eyes, and below was a small broken flower pot. The red shadow flickered out and came back again, and Shen Lingjun had an extra kitten in his hand that meowed and struggled.
Shen Lingjun kneaded and rubbed, and the four paws of the painful kitten waved wildly, but she avoided them, "I broke my flower again, see if I can't treat you well." ”
Qinghe heard the movement and opened the door and came in, pursing his lips and smiling: "Miss, you are bullying Ahri again." ”
As soon as Shen Lingjun's hand was released, the civet cat quickly ran away, jumped gracefully, and jumped out of the window.
Qinghe washed Shen Lingjun's face, "Yesterday Mrs. sent a letter, asking Miss to go back for the New Year this year." ”
Shen Lingjun wiped his face and put the handkerchief back in the basin, with a black line, "It's only June, and it's still more than half a year, so let's talk about the New Year." ”
"Madame said, I want to remind Miss every month, so that Miss and nobleman don't forget things," Qinghe smiled and picked up the basin and walked out.
When he went out of the room, he saw Su Musha carrying a basket and walking inside, Shen Lingjun walked over and sniffed, "Wufangzhai's zongzi, egg yolk filling." ”
Su Musha looked at her, "It turns out that you belong to a dog." ”
Shen Lingjun took the basket from his hand and put it on the table to open it, and took one out to nibble, "Mmmm, good times." ”
Cicada Yu brought porridge and side dishes, and Shen Lingjun took a bite of porridge and a mouthful of zongzi, and ate happily.
Ye Qingzhi and Zhao Qi also came over and went to the courtyard for breakfast.
Ye Qingzhi didn't have much appetite, and after drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, her face seemed to be paler than usual. She hadn't slept all night and came straight from the autopsy.
Zhao Qi looked at her and frowned, "I told you to sleep last night, but you didn't listen." ”
"I'm fine," Ye Qingzhi shook her head, feeling a little dizzy.
Shen Lingjun finished eating a zongzi and licked his fingers, "Qingzhi, you are not in the right state, otherwise go and rest first." ”
Ye Qingzhi just wanted to say that it was okay, but Zhao Qi grabbed her and dragged someone to her room, "Shut up and go to sleep." ”
Probably although Zhao Qi looks like he is not stingy on weekdays, she has never really murdered Ye Qingzhi, so she was stunned for a moment, and actually obediently followed him, and only reacted when she got to the room, why listen to him.
However, Ye Qingzhi was really tired, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she became a little confused, thinking before falling asleep, as if she had something to tell them.
Shen Lingjun picked up another red bean paste zongzi, "They have a good relationship." ”
Su Musha took a sip of porridge, "You have a good appetite." ”
"That's," Shen Lingjun said without blushing, "I can eat three in one go." ”
Su Musha looked at her whole body seriously, and said slowly: "I didn't see it,"
Shen Lingjun is small and thin, he can eat so much, he doesn't know where to eat, and he doesn't grow meat. His two sisters also went on a diet in order to maintain their figures, if they knew that Shen Lingjun was not fat after eating so much, they would not be jealous to death.
Shen Lingjun was proud, "I can't envy it," the second one was also finished, and seeing that Su Musha only drank porridge but didn't eat zongzi, he peeled a zongzi and handed it to his mouth, "Why don't you eat it, it's delicious." ”
Su Musha took a bite of her hand and nodded, it tasted good.
Zhao Qi returned, picked up the half-eaten breakfast on the table and continued, "Are you okay today?" ”
Shen Lingjun thought about it, although there was some progress in the case, but the current situation seemed to be waiting for now, but it was okay, so he shook his head, "No." ”
"That's just right," Zhao Qi said, "Come with me to the Hebi Post House in the afternoon." ”
Shen Lingjun's hand was sour, so he simply put the zongzi in the bowl and put it in front of Su Musha, "What to do?" ”
Zhao Qi grinned, "Watch the play." ”
"Ouch, I like this," Shen Lingjun is a character who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he will make up wherever it is lively.
Su Mu covered his head and had a bad premonition, "I ......"
Shen Lingjun didn't wait for him to finish, and stopped talking, "Together!" ”
As he was talking, a person swooped into the hospital, Shen Lingjun threw something over, and the person who came habitually took it, and then he couldn't cry or laugh, and spread out his hand, on which was a peeled zongzi, and his hand was sticky.
Shen Lingjun smiled, "Please eat, see you." ”
The person who came was the emperor's personal guard Mei Jian, she saw that she had a hand anyway, so she took a bite of the zongzi, "It tastes good, it's not the same as the palace." ”
Zhao Qi looked up at her, "Don't look for me again." ”
Mei Jian raised an index finger and shook it, "No, it's looking for the two of you," she said, pointing at Zhao Qi and Shen Lingjun.
Shen Lingjun sighed, "I also want to solve the case as soon as possible." ”
Mei Jian hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "This time it's not for the case." ”
