Chapter 042: Your Majesty Says What to Do
Zhong Chichi couldn't help but glance at Cui Li.
looks like a very serious person, and he is very particular about speaking! I also know how to move Li Changye out of the town!
Although the eldest princess of Tongchang was angry, she didn't dare to ask questions such as "How do you know that something happened in my house", and reluctantly led them inside.
“…… It was indeed found in the area of Cuiyun Lake, but I didn't see a human figure, and I didn't know where someone had fallen into the water......" Changshi finished speaking, and secretly glanced at Cui Li.
Zhong Chi Chi saw it in his eyes and laughed.
The people in the princess's mansion didn't see anything, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they said as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and they didn't know what the eldest princess of Tongchang would think in her heart?
But no matter what she thought in her heart, there was nothing to say in the face of the Son of Heaven sword in Cui Li's hand.
With Cui Li's order, dozens of water-friendly Yu Linlang he brought jumped into the water one after another.
"Over there, over there! A little further to the right! Zhong Chi Chi walked along the shore of the lake while directing the search with great interest, which caused the eldest princess of Tongchang to look sideways frequently, and finally couldn't help but sneer: "Look at Mrs. Zhong like this, could it be that the assassin was watching from the side when he fell into the water last night?" ”
Zhong Chichi smiled at her charmingly: "No, I dreamed of it!" ”
The eldest princess of Tongchang grabbed the maid's hand and closed her eyes forcefully, before she breathed a sigh of relief, smiled coldly, looked at the lake and stopped talking.
Zhong Chichi did watch the assassin fall into the water with his own eyes, and even watched him swim for a while! Not only did she see it, but Cui Li also saw it.
However, dozens of Yu Linlang searched underwater for half an hour, and found nothing except for picking up three soaked old corpses!
The so-called nothing, not only found nothing underwater, but even Zhong Chi Chi found nothing on the shore.
She didn't kill the Assassin when she attacked the Assassin last night, after all, she still had to keep the Assassin interrogating the witch curse, but she didn't rule out the possibility of accidentally killing her.
Therefore, Yu Lin Lang was ready to recover the assassin's body in the water, and she also looked for traces of the assassin's escape on the shore.
But neither end was found.
This situation, in her opinion, has two possible causes.
One is that the assassin chose a path to escape that she didn't discover, and the other possibility is that he was hidden by the people in the princess's mansion.
Thinking of this, Zhong couldn't help but think of the second lady of the Weiguo Mansion.
Born in a famous family, beautiful and beautiful, and a strong contender for the back position, he actually dared to hide an assassin in his room, huh...... Could it be that the Assassin was good-looking? So there are people in a different place to help hide?
Zhong Chichi was secretly pondering, when he suddenly heard a cold snort.
"It seems that General Cui and Mrs. Zhong can't find any assassins today!" Seeing that the salvage was fruitless, the eldest princess of Tongchang finally dared to throw it out after holding back her anger for a long time, and for a while, she was extremely arrogant, "What assassin broke into the water, according to the palace, it must be such a shameless villain, relying on flattery and pet, in front of His Majesty into slander!" ”
Zhong gave her a casual look, not taking her words to heart, still contemplating the Assassin's possible whereabouts.
Cui Li also frowned, his expression solemn and puzzled.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the eldest princess of Tongchang became even more angry, and her voice also raised: "Since the so-called assassin can't be found in Cuiyun Lake, this palace has to enter the palace to ask Your Majesty, what should I do about this matter!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a slave rushed to the scene and reported urgently: "Your Highness, the Holy Driver has arrived!" ”
Zhong Chichi raised his eyebrows in surprise, why did he come?
When the holy car came, everyone was greeted at the door, and Zhong Chi was too lazy to take a few steps before falling to the end.
However, Li Changye did not have to wait for everyone to welcome them to the door.
Xuanyi gold embroidery, jade crown and ink hair, Li Changye smiled and walked leisurely, not waiting for the eldest princess of Chang to open her mouth to complain, she beckoned directly to Zhong Chi Chi from afar, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Chi Chi, come here!" ”
For a while, everyone consciously separated the two sides and made way for Zhong Chi Chi.
But she was still motionless, just standing still, smiling at His Majesty the Emperor, and then, in front of everyone's eyes, His Majesty the Emperor did not hesitate to lose his temperament, and took the initiative to walk towards the beauty, and smiled with a rippling face.
The onlookers lowered their heads one after another, unable to bear to look more.
"Why is Your Majesty here?" Zhong Chichi asked with a smile.
She stood not far from Cuiyun Lake, Li Changye came to her, hugged her in his arms very naturally, and asked while walking towards Cuiyun Lake: "Come and see you, how about it?" Did you find the assassin? ”
As soon as Zhong Chichi shook his head, the eldest princess of Tongchang quickly chased after her, and opened her mouth angrily before her: "Your Majesty, Zhong Niangzi and General Cui don't know where to get the news, and they insist that an assassin jumped into the Cuiyun Lake in the minister's sister's mansion, but so many people have gone down to salvage, and there is not even half a shadow!" Your Majesty! The crime of harboring assassins, neither the courtiers nor the Dou family can afford it! Please also ask Your Majesty to call the shots for your courtiers! ”
As he spoke, he also glared at Zhong Chi several times.
The eldest princess of Tongchang, as the most confident of the three eldest princesses, is all because of her husband's family, the Dou family of Pingyang County.
There is no evidence, she believes that Li Changye will not easily put the charge of harboring assassins on the head of the Dou family, and she is also very sensible that she did not mention that the search of the princess's mansion was an order given by Li Changye, and both inside and outside the words meant that Li Changye was deceived.
As for Cui Li and Zhong Chichi-
Hum! People who are fake and mighty must always be prepared to take the blame for the scapegoat!
Sure enough, Li Changye looked very surprised when he heard this, looked at Cui Li, and then at Zhong Chichi, and said, "Didn't you swear that the assassin fell into the lake?" Why didn't you find it? ”
The eldest princess of Tongchang immediately rushed to reply: "Yes! General Cui and Zhong Niangzi brought dozens of people to salvage in my Cuiyun Lake for more than half an hour, and there was nothing! Your Majesty, tell me, what should I do? ”
Li Changye frowned and said, "Since you can't find it in the water, then look for it on the shore!" ”
The eldest princess of Tongchang looked smug and instantly froze.
Li Changye didn't finish speaking: "In addition to the shores of the lake, there are also various courtyards, all look carefully!" That is a traitor who dared to enter the palace to assassinate, and he found me with a lot of rewards! ”
"Your Majesty!" The eldest princess of Tongchang finally came to her senses, and said with a blue face, "Your Majesty is going to raid the mansion of your sister for the sake of a foxy woman's nonsense?" ”
Li Changye smiled, while pulling the little hand of the foxy woman beside him and kneading it lovingly, he said in an amiable tone: "Where did the second sister say, you haven't seen it when I raided someone's house, how can you be so gentle?" ”
The eldest princess of Tongchang seemed to remember something terrible, and her face changed instantly, and she didn't dare to say another word.
