Fang Rui did not hide the fact that she died, because she did not die somewhere else, but in Yuan Song's study.

Yuan Song's explanation is that there are a lot of confidential documents in his study, and there are a lot of mechanisms arranged in it, and I don't know how Fang Rui passed, so he triggered the mechanism to die inside.

Shen Qing was sitting in the study, Su Qiu had already gone to look for Ji Wuhuan, and she took Xia Rao and Mama Yang to listen to Yuan Song.

Yuan Song seemed to be very angry, and he was alluding to the fact that Ji Wuhuan asked Fang Rui to come over, intending to do something unseemly.

Shen Qing looked at Fang Rui who was lying on the ground with her eyes open in horror, she was indeed killed suddenly, but she could be sure that she was definitely not Ji Wuhuan's person, so why did she suddenly come here? What is the purpose?

Shen Qing couldn't figure it out, and Yuan Song was already angry: "Although this matter is a family matter, if the official documents in my room are lost, it will be a capital crime!" ”

After he finished speaking, Shen Qing's mind felt like a 'ding', remembering what happened this afternoon. Who would be in such a hurry to hope that Yuan Song would die? And Fang Rui is Ji Wuhuan's woman, she is dead here now, once Yuan Song determines that it is Ji Wuhuan's hand, then Ji Wuhuan will also be dragged into this quagmire in public. If he doesn't do it to Yuan Song, Yuan Song will definitely not spare him easily because of Yuan Shuang, and now it is time for him to return to Nanzhao......

Thinking about this, Shen Qing went to look at Fang Rui again and said, "Has the eldest uncle ever asked people to search the corpse?" ”

Yuan Song's face was slightly gloomy: "No." ”

Shen Qingwaner: "The eldest uncle might as well ask someone to search for it, if it is not surprising, Aunt Fang Rui must have something like the prince's token or handwritten letter." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, and they all wondered if Shen Qing was going to kill his relatives in righteousness.

Yuan Song was also puzzled, and stared at her: "Could it be that the princess saw Wuhuan and instructed this aunt to come over?" ”

Shen Qing smiled lightly and said, "The prince naturally doesn't have this time, but I doubt that the eldest uncle has offended someone outside, so there is this matter, which can not only distract the eldest uncle, but also provoke a direct conflict between you and the prince, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Yuan Song frowned, but Shen Qing continued: "Moreover, what a smart person the prince is, I believe the eldest uncle must know that if he wants to get the documents in your room, he will never use such a stupid method to let an aunt who is powerless come over." ”

"How is this impossible?" The steward next to him said: "It's an unrestrained person like her who makes the minions relax their vigilance......

Shen Qing glanced at him lightly, looking at the fine sweat on his forehead, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"If that's the case, then you're to blame. Why Aunt Fang Rui was able to enter the study where important official documents were stored, it was your intention, and it was really an accident, you should know very well in your hearts. Shen Qing said lightly.

Her words were a word to wake up the person in the dream, Yuan Song turned his head to look at the steward with a dark face: "Tell me, how did she get in?" ”

"This ......" the steward knelt on the ground and said busily: "She, she took the prince's waist card......"

"!" Shen Qing said coldly: "If the prince really wants to steal the documents, how can he let Fang Rui take his waist card in a grand manner, and if he asks people to come over at night in night clothes, wouldn't it be safer." ”

"This ...... The minions don't know either. "The steward's forehead is sweating more and more, but there are more and more flaws.

As he was talking, the waist card on Fang Rui's body had also been searched, and it was indeed Ji Wuhuan's.

The more evidence pointed to Ji Wuhuan, the more Yuan Song didn't believe that Ji Wuhuan did it. If he really wanted to come and get something, he would never be so full of loopholes.

"Uncle, this matter ......"

"I know, I'll find out, as for this aunt's death...... I'll look it up too. Yuan Song said with a calm face.

Shen Qing didn't say anything more, and got up to say goodbye.

As soon as she left, Yuan Song immediately ordered the person in charge to be arrested, but before he could ask questions, an arrow came from outside the house, and the blow was fatal.

"There are assassins, chase!"

Yuan Song let out a loud shout, looked at the dead steward on the ground, and remembered Shen Qing's words, but the only person who remembered was Xuanyuan Li.

Shen Qingcai came out of Yuan Song's courtyard and immediately went to Fang Rui's courtyard.

At that time, the maids and daughters in the yard were all kneeling on the ground and crying sadly. They were all brought from home by Fang Rui, so they were naturally more loyal. And now that Fang Rui is dead, they have nowhere to go.

"Who is Aunt Fang Rui's side to serve you?" Shen Qing looked in the courtyard and didn't find anything abnormal.

The mother-in-law looked at each other and walked out of a pink-clothed little girl.

"Slave Fangcao, I've seen the princess." She spoke in a trembling voice, as if she was frightened.

Shen Qing looked at her, but at the age of twelve, how could Fang Rui let her serve by her side? With her fiery personality, the people who stay by her side should not be like this.

"You're the one who waits by Aunt Fangrui's side? But is there anyone else? Shen Qing said again.

Xia Rao stood up on the side and said in a cold voice: "Auntie is dying tragically now, if you dare to hide anything, the princess can't help you!" ”

Xia Rao's threat was somewhat useful, and after she finished speaking, she saw a mother-in-law pushing another mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law stood up and wiped the corners of her eyes without tears with a handkerchief.

"Back to the princess, the slave maid was also serving by the aunt's side before. It's just that in the past two days, the princess always said that my wife and I are not skillful, so she transferred herbs to serve. The mother-in-law hurriedly said.

Shen Qing looked at her, her complexion was dark, and her hand in front of her was very natural, not holding it like other people, and looking at her gaze, as if there was nothing, as if with a little disdain.

Shen Qing looked at her and smiled, "What do you call Mama." ”

"The old woman's surname is Ma."

"Mama, where do you live?" Shen Qing continued to ask.

Ma Pozi didn't know why she suddenly asked this, and said hesitantly: "Princess, ...... are you?"

Shen Qing continued to smile: "Where your home is located, but it is warm as spring all year round and blooms with sunflowers? ”

Ma Pozi was stunned, but immediately found that she was out of shape, and hurriedly lowered her head again: "The slave doesn't know what you're talking about." The place where the slave and maid are located is just a poor country, where does it come from, it is as warm as spring, and it is full of sunflowers. ”

"Really?" Xia Rao stepped forward, grabbed Ma Pozi's hand, and ripped her sleeve open.

"What are you ......" Ma Pozi looked puzzled.

Xia Rao looked at her wrist but frowned, the place where the plum blossom mark should have been printed had been stripped off alive.

"Princess......" Xia Rao turned her head to look at Shen Qing.

"Take it down, and wait for the prince to come back and deal with it." Shen Qing said directly.

"Why!" Ma Pozi still pretended to be ignorant, but Xia Rao didn't give her too much chance to speak, and let her take her away.

Shen Qing smiled at the people present, looked at their eyes that hung down anxiously as soon as they met their gazes, and said with a smile: "Since you are Aunt Fangrui's people, when you take care of Aunt Fangrui's affairs, I will let you go back, during this time, you can live here with peace of mind." "If you let them out now, they will not be used by someone with a heart, and now Fang Rui's death has not completely dissociated from Ji Wuhuan, if Xuanyuan Li takes advantage of this, it will be another trouble.

Several people did not dare to speak, and their whole bodies trembled with fear. In their opinion, Shen Qing's act of arresting people was simply unreasonable, but no one dared to refute it.

Shen Qing looked at Fang Cai's green-clothed little girl ring and said, "Fangcao......"

"The slave is here." Fang Cai was startled and hurriedly knelt down.

Shen Qing frowned slightly, didn't say anything more, only said, "Since Aunt Fang Rui still let you serve before she died, why didn't you go to the eldest master's study with her?" ”

"Auntie is not allowed." Fangcao said quickly.

"Really?" Shen Qing looked at her gaze a little colder, she was still nervous and overwhelmed a second ago, but now she answered this question very quickly, as if this answer had actually been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for an answer.

"Then you will take care of your aunt here temporarily, if you need anything, you can also go to the Jade Courtyard to find me, but don't leave the house for the time being, understand?" Shen Qing instructed.

Fang Cai nodded hurriedly, seeing this, Shen Qing didn't say anything more, and led the people out in steps.

Fang Rui's courtyard was locked, Shen Qing watched the door locked, and then exhaled slightly, and her expression became a little more serious: "Xia Rao, staring at Fangcao, who she has seen and what she has said, she has to report it back word for word." ”

"Are you the one who suspects that she is also Regulus?" Xia Rao said.

"Not sure, but if you follow her, you'll be sure. Now that Ma Pozi has been arrested, if she is really Xuanyuan's person, then she will definitely be eager to spread the news. Shen Qing said firmly.

Xia Rao bowed: "The slave understands." ”

"Hmm." Shen Qing responded, but before he finished speaking, the cold wind tightened, the sky quickly darkened, and every grain of crystal fell down.

"It's snowing?" Xia Rao was a little surprised, she had always liked these things.

"It's snowing, and as soon as the snow stops, it's going to be spring." Shen Qing raised his hand to catch the falling snow particles, watching it slowly melt in his palm, looking indifferent.

What Ji Wuhuan saw when she came over was exactly what she saw when she reached out to catch the snowflakes. She stood sideways, wrapped in a cloak, revealing a fair face, her facial features were delicate and indifferent, and her white hand stretched out, caught the snowflake, and held it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully. There is no joy like a little daughter, but with the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which makes people feel distressed.

He stepped forward a few steps forward and held an umbrella: "It's snowing, let's go back." ”

Shen Qing turned his head to look at him, he was still wearing a black robe that he liked, and the cuffs were embroidered with gold threads, which looked a little noble.

He usually pulled all the hair on his head and loosened half of his bun, as if his facial features were a lot softer, looking at him like this, he actually looked better than usual.

"Su Qiu told you?" Shen Qing asked.

Ji Wuhuan bowed his head and walked back with her.

Mama Yang wanted to follow, but was pulled by Xia Rao, just watching them move forward slowly, which was extremely eye-catching.

"I hope the princess can be brave enough to believe in someone again." Xia Rao could see that Ji Wuhuan was very attentive to Shen Qing. No one has ever heard of the name of King Huainan's killing, and he has seen his indifference like a 10,000-year-old iceberg outside, but now, when he looked at Shen Qing, his eyes were full of gentleness, and the murderous aura on his body disappeared cleanly, such a person should be trustworthy.

"Again?" Yuan also came out and looked at Xia Rao with his sword: "Could it be that something happened to the princess?" ”

Xia Rao glanced at him lightly: "You can't understand a little ghost like you." With that, he walked away.

"Imp?" Yuan Ye twitched his face: "I'm twenty-five!" ”

Xia Rao ignored him and left with Mama Yang. In the past, she could walk among men before she was disfigured, but now, she was not interested.

Ji Wuhuan looked at Shen Qing, who was half a step away from him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he leaned closer to her.

Shen Qing subconsciously moved to the other side, but was pulled by Ji Wuhuan: "You hide again." ”

Shen Qing looked at his angry eyes and blinked: "I didn't hide?" ”

Ji Wuhuan saw that she looked innocent and didn't know anything, her teeth rattled, she raised her hand angrily, and scooped her into her arms.

"Walk next to me in the future."

"It's out of place."

Ji Wuhuan gritted her teeth again, but when she looked down, she actually raised the corners of her lips and smiled. The anger in his heart seemed to be suddenly blown away by the wind, and he laughed comfortably.

"Did you find Ji Rui?" Shen Qing asked with a smile.

"I know where he went, but he didn't let us get him out." Ji Wuhuan said.

"Why?" Shen Qing was puzzled.

Ji Wuhuan sighed slightly: "The person who arrested him is Zhang Xiaofang, the daughter of the king of Dongyang County who came with the Nanzhao mission, if he can take her this time, he will also be able to take down the powerful king of Dongyang County in Nanzhao, you know, this is the only daughter of this county king." ”

"Ji Rui wants to take advantage of this woman?" Shen Qing frowned slightly, for some reason, she was unexpectedly disgusted by taking advantage of women's feelings.

Ji Wuhuan looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking, but he didn't hide it from her, he just hugged her tighter and nodded.

Shen Qing's expression was slightly gloomy, and when he walked to the gate of the Jade Courtyard, he stopped: "The prince will go and meet Sang Rou." ”

Ji Wuhuan frowned: "Later, she will come to see me." ”

"It's about Aunt Lan and the third son, Aunt Lan found out that Sang Rou was secretly investigating her, and now she has been locked up by Sang Rou, and she should be stained with blood." Shen Qing said again.

Ji Wuhuan saw that she was standing at the door and refused to move, knowing that her awkward temperament was up again, so she was not annoyed, just threw the umbrella to the side, and hugged her again: "Okay, this king will go and see you." But you've been out all day, and it's easy to eat cold on such a cold day. The doctor said, if the woman eats the cold...... Those days will be very uncomfortable. ”

After he said this, his face became hot and panicked.

Shen Qing thought about the 'days' he said, did he mean the menstrual affairs?

"Lord ......"

"Huh?"

"What the hell do you think of me?" Shen Qing hesitated.

Ji Wuhuan stood still, and the snow particles in the sky were already mixed with white and tender snowflakes like catkins falling one after another. He looked at the little person in his arms, the small face, the small body, just nestled in his arms, it was hard to imagine that she was actually the master of the dignified Meiyun Pavilion, as decisive as himself, but softer than his own heart.

"I want to live with you for the rest of my life." Ji Wuhuan looked at her eyes like a pool and smiled lightly.

Shen Qing curled up in his arms, and could feel his slightly trembling body when he said this, but his deep eyes were full of satisfaction and happiness.

She suddenly became a little timid, not daring to think about the future. Maybe that's it, okay. Maybe it's good to covet his gentleness for a while. She's so cold......

Ji Wuhuan looked at Shen Qing, who squeezed her body into her arms again, the corners of her mouth finally hooked up a big arc, and carefully carried her to the house.

On the other side, Ji Rui faced the sudden cold wind, and the illness in his body recurred all of a sudden, and suddenly, he began to regret sending the people who came to rescue him.

Zhang Xiaofang took him captive in an abandoned thatched hut in the mountains, and by this time she had already gone down the mountain, saying that she was going to buy some food.

He only felt that his throat was itching, his chest and abdomen seemed to be holding a stuffy breath, and the cold wind came through the thatched hut, and he began to cough violently, because he had no handkerchief at hand, and it was not surprising that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Xiaofang...... Zhang Xiaofang ...... "When Ji Rui shouted this, he was already full of murderous aura.

Zhang Xiaofang wrapped the mink bought under the mountain and climbed up the mountain with difficulty, she regretted a little how she could have kidnapped people here, here is a poor and remote place, she went down the mountain to buy something to eat, and it snowed. When it snowed, she went to buy a mink and some medicine for the sick seedlings on the mountain.

When I arrived at the door, I heard Ji Rui's voice inside. Her delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and she pushed the door open, but she didn't notice that the cold wind swished in, and Ji Rui coughed so much that he almost lost his breath in an instant.

Zhang Xiaofang looked at it, frightened, hurriedly stepped forward, and looked at the blood all over the bed: "You can't be terminally ill." ”

Ji Rui glared at her angrily and pointed to the door.

Zhang Xiaofang understood, and hurriedly turned her head to close the door.

Ji Rui's cough stopped a little, and he just wanted to scold, but he saw Zhang Xiaofang opening the food box like a baby, and said to himself: "I rode to the best restaurant in the capital and bought you soup, how about it, I'm righteous enough." ”

Ji Rui was stunned, looking at her smiling at herself, she couldn't say what she felt, she just looked at her and raised her chin: "Stinky girl, you look pretty good......

Before Ji Rui's words fell, Zhang Xiaofang raised his head directly and drank it, and did not forget to sigh: "It's really good." ”

Ji Rui glanced at it, and the qi in his heart rushed up, and he began to cough again, accompanied by blood.

Zhang Xiaofang took a look, hurriedly stepped forward, wrapped the quilt tighter for him, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I bought two copies." ”

Ji Rui glared at the warm mink coat on her body angrily, and said, "I'm cold." ”

Zhang Xiaofang was very entangled: "I didn't buy two pieces of this, it's too expensive, I didn't bring too much silver......

Before she finished speaking, Ji Rui began to cough again.

She looked at it and struggled for a while, so she reluctantly took off the mink and covered him.

Ji Rui enjoyed the temperature on her body with satisfaction, and seemed to have the fragrance on this girl's body, and couldn't help laughing, but look at her again, hey, she actually put on a cotton jacket that looked very warm.

"Didn't you say you had no money?"

"I don't have the money to buy two minks, but I can also buy a big cotton jacket." She looked outside and said, "Hurry up and eat, we'll go down the mountain after eating." ”

"How do you go down?"

"I'll carry you. Since I brought you here, there is no reason for you to freeze to death here, don't worry, I, Zhang Xiaofang, am in the rivers and lakes, and what I pay attention to is the word 'righteousness'! She slapped her thigh, sat down at the table, and ate by herself, and the smell of rice overflowed.

Ji Rui looked at the warm brazier and the mink fur in the room with a little thought, and looked at her wrapped in a big cotton jacket with a very fragrant appearance, and said with a smile: "You can also leave me a little." ”

Shen Qing heard the news of Xuanyuan Li again early the next morning, and heard that Yuan Song went directly to the excerpt, expressing Xuanyuanli's great achievements over the years, and directly proposed that he should marry the tenth princess as soon as possible, and then stay in Dawei as a concubine, and the emperor also issued an edict that ten days later, the marriage would be completed.

When Ji Wuhuan said this, there was a strange light in his eyes.

Shen Qing sat on the warm couch and tasted the tea he had collected from nowhere, and said with a light smile: "Really? ”

Seeing her attitude, Ji Wuhuan also showed a slight smile: "Nanzhao, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back." ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Qing lowered his eyebrows lightly, looked at the floating tea leaves in the teacup, and said: "He has been waiting for more than ten years, and he has been planning for more than ten years, he will definitely go back, even if he ......" Shen Qing raised his head and looked at Ji Wuhuan: "Even if he kills the tenth princess." ”

Ji Wuhuan frowned slightly, looked at the scar on Shen Qing's face that still had some traces, looked at her indifferent eyes, and remembered that it was not because he said that Qing'er wanted to prevent him from returning to Nanzhao, so he started to kill.

"Ten princesses, I'll make people look like they." Ji Wuhuan said.

Shen Qing looked at Xia Rao, Xia Rao understood, turned her head and took a small box and sent it to Ji Wuhuan: "Lord Wang." ”

Shen Qing opened the box, and a sharp short arrow appeared.

Ji Wuhuan looked at the arrow, as if he remembered something, and his face sank: "I will help you put it in the Ten Princesses Palace." ”

"If Xuanyuan didn't do it, those people would be fine, if he did......" Shen Qing looked at Ji Wuhuan and smiled lightly: "I hope this can appear next to the tenth princess." "In that case, no matter how much Xuanyuan Li maneuvers, he will never want to leave here again, and he will never want to return to Nanzhao.

Ji Wuhuan looked at Shen Qing, she had a smile on her face, but hatred in her eyes. He knew her hatred as much as he knew that his mother had been killed by those men, even if he didn't want to admit it.

Yuan also hurriedly came in from outside: "Lord Wang, there is new news." With that, he looked at the people in the room.

Ji Wuhuan sat steadily, and also picked up the teacup like Shen Qing, and said, "Let's just say it." ”

Yuan also saw that he did not shy away from it, so he did not hide it, and went directly: "All the shopkeepers of Zhuangzi shops in the mansion have all arrived, just waiting for your order, the solemn mansion will never be rich." ”

The reason why the Sumu Mansion can enjoy such wealth and glory is all supported by hundreds of Zhuangzi shops, and now if all the competent stewards are withdrawn and all the unpaid silver this year is withdrawn, then with the habit of spending money like flowing water in the Sumu Mansion, it will be in trouble in an instant, not to mention that Yuanshuang's marriage has also been decided, and the most expensive New Year is about to arrive.

"Hmm." Ji Wuhuan responded lightly, Yuan Ye thought that he would forget it like this, but saw Ji Wuhuan slowly speak: "Send all the evidence of Yuan Song's embezzlement of public funds and bending the law for personal gain to Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple for so many years, and there can be no delay for a moment." ”

"This ......" Yuan also looked at Shen Qing, if he did this, he would undoubtedly kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Shen Qing put down the teacup and turned his head to look at Ji Wuhuan: "Has the prince ever thought that the Huainan Royal Mansion should open another mansion?" "If Ji Wuhuan really plans to break with these people, then continuing to stay will only be a piece of chicken feathers.

Ji Wuhuan looked at her, her face was a little solemn: "Later, let's go meet my father with me." "The father who was sick in bed and had not been out for more than ten years.
