Chapter 242: Death Without Proof
Xiao Huaibi didn't say what he wanted, and Zhong didn't hesitate to continue asking.
But when she went down the mountain again, she ran into Li Yutai, who had just come out, outside the Hanfeng Palace.
Plain clothes and simple decorations, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and another look of pleading.
"What's wrong with her?" Stepping into the temple door, Zhong Chichi asked curiously.
Li Changye was very surprised to see her, and while beckoning her over, he asked, "Why did you suddenly go down the mountain?" β
Zhong Chi Chi has not come down for half a month.
After Cui Wenji went to the funeral and was buried, the case was over.
Although it is a pity to waste a soul chasing array in vain, but the death certificate is ruined, and it is futile to pursue it again, and it is meaningless to her.
What's more, at the beginning, it was because Zhou Yunqing mentioned the mystery of the Book of Jin, and she also suspected that Cui Wenji's death was related to the Xinghualin Witch, so she agreed to help investigate the cause of death, but it turned out to be a love killing, so it was nothing for her.
Therefore, after this incident was over, Zhong Chi Chi returned to the mountain to continue the cultivation.
It will go down the mountain today, mainly because in the morning Wang Zihui brought a message.
"Wang Zihui said, are you going back to Chang'an?" Zhong Chi Chi asked a little confused, and stood in place without moving.
Now it's the beginning of July, and she feels colder and colder on the top of the mountain day by day, and it is normal for the summer army to return to the city, but Wang Zihui said that the palace is already being cleaned up, and Li Changye went up the mountain yesterday, but he didn't tell her.
Li Changye's eyes swept away, and he guessed that she was upset about something, and got up and walked towards her with a smile.
"It's the Queen Mother who is going back, it's autumn, the Queen Mother and the concubines are weak, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time-" He held her shoulders, bowed down to eye level with her, his eyes were slightly bent, "I don't go back, I don't tolerate heat, I like to live here!" β
Zhong Chi pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing.
His eyes were crooked like hooks, kissed the tip of her nose, and then found it on his lips, pecking lightly, accompanied by a gentle whisper: "Chi'er live with peace of mind, how long will you live, how long will I live with you......"
Zhong Chi Chi was full of joy when he heard it, and his tone couldn't help but bring out the meaning of coquettishness: "I don't want to live!" It's getting colder and colder in the mountains, and I'm going back too! β
"Oh?" He was a little surprised, "Do you really want to go back?" Right now? β
Zhong Chi nodded.
These days were very peaceful, not only did she make up for the magic power consumed by the Soul Chasing Array, but the third layer of the realm assisted by magic weapons would also reach a bottleneck, so there was no need to stay on the mountain anymore.
What matters at the moment is to sum up with Zhou Yunqing to find the whereabouts of the remaining two magic weapons.
She wanted to go back to the city, which was naturally very good for Li Changye, and she didn't ask much about the reason, so she immediately ordered to go down, pack up, and set off with the Queen Mother and her party tomorrow.
After arranging these, Zhong Chi Chi recalled what happened to Li Yutai just now, and asked again: "What's wrong with your sister?" What bad things did you do to ask for sin? β
As a princess, Li Yutai is really very sensible, she should admit her mistakes, even if she has a lot of support behind her, she will not abuse it.
Li Changye used such a person to appease the forces of the Emperor family, which was extremely worry-free.
This is also one of the reasons why she easily gave up to avenge Choi Wen-hee.
Cui Wenji's innocence and Zhou Yunqing's affection were not enough for her to spend her mind on ruining Li Changye's good deeds.
"It's not a big deal-" Li Changye hugged her back to the dragon chair and handed her a cup of tea, "A few days ago, Yun'an held a banquet in the mansion, and a minister in the princess's mansion collided with the little lady of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family held a grudge and wanted me to help mediate." β
Yuan's little lady?
"It can't be Yuan Qi Niang, right?" Zhong Chi Chi was surprised and forgot to drink tea.
"Seems to be, right?" Li Changye hadn't paid attention to this matter, and seeing that she seemed to be a little interested, he called Gao Fu to tell her the whole story.
It's really Yuan Qi Niang!
According to Gao Fu, Li Yutai set up a banquet in the princess's mansion, and invited many young ladies, halfway through the banquet, Li Yutai's maid led Yuan Qiniang to a deserted courtyard alone, and soon rushed in a princess named Chu Feng, who wanted to be rude to Yuan Qiniang, but fortunately Li Zai arrived in time.
ββ¦β¦ That Chu Feng received a slap from General Li and died that night, although His Royal Highness Yun'an said that Chu Feng was conspired by someone to collide with Yuan Qi Niangzi, but there is no proof of death, and Mrs. Yuan still refuses to accept His Royal Highness Yun'an's apology...... "Gao Fu said with emotion.
"There is no proof of death...... Zhong Chi took a sip of tea, "That's really a bit hard to say!" β
I can't see that Li Zai is such a ruthless person.
Li Changye waved Gao Fu away, and smiled disappreciatively: "It's just a little dispute." Yun'an has always been good friends with the Yuan family, and it is impossible to deliberately let people collide with Yuan Qi Niang, it's just a misunderstanding, turn around and give the Yuan family a step down, and he won't keep holding on to it. β
Zhong Chi glanced at him thoughtfully.
It is impossible for Li Yutai to deliberately let people collide with Yuan Qiniang, which means that Chu Feng was really plotted by someone?
"Yun An said that it was a feud between the retainers in the mansion, and he had already handed over the retainer who committed the crime to the Yuan clan to deal with-" He smiled meaningfully, "What does Chi'er think?" β
Zhong Chichi's heart moved, but he just said: "The eldest princess must have come to the conclusion after the trial, if Your Majesty thinks there is anything else, you might as well let Yuwen break it and investigate it carefully, what do I think?" β
Li Changye said with a smile: "Yuwenduan's main position is General Zuo Jinwu, how can he have time to investigate those parents' short cases?" He tilted his head and kissed her on the face, his eyebrows and eyes crooked, "The folk say, don't be deaf or dumb, don't be a housekeeper, as long as you don't make a big fuss, I don't bother to care about ......"
β¦β¦
"How big of a fuss are you going to make about this?" Zhong Chi Chi asked straight to the point.
The other party paused slightly, but still pushed a stack of nearly an inch thick paper in front of her in front of her, and said with a slight smile: "Lady refers to the matter of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the Yuan family?" β
Zhong Chichi touched the paper casually, and said: "If you can find out the evidence, it is just a matter of going to sue in an open and honest manner, doing this kind of small action is just scratching the itch of the boots, once it is a big trouble, Your Majesty will not sit idly by and suddenly provoke a fire." β
His eyes were warm, and he said softly, "Is the lady worried about me?" β
There is no denial.
Zhong Chi glanced at him, lowered his eyes and casually flipped through the newly copied codex.
He laughed softly, his eyes shining like the moon: "The lady is so worried, and she is overjoyed-"
"Can't you talk well?" Zhong Chi patted the codex and raised his eyes as if smiling.
He held a pot and poured tea, his eyes were gentle: "When the incident happened, I had already returned to Chang'an." β
Zhong Chichi sneered, "So, do you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?" β
He gently placed the refilled tea cup in her hand, and when he raised his eyes, he smiled clearly: "Naturally, it's relatedβ"
