Chapter 69: The First Day of Work
The Praetorian Guards didn't know what was going on, and when they were about to go to tell the truth, they heard a loud shout from upstairs: "Don't talk to anyone!" …… Wow! "I don't want to be in this place anymore!
Half an hour later, Chen Ling felt better, ordered someone to boil hot water to wash her body, and when she was lying on the bed and sleeping, a black-clothed figure flashed in the air, broke through the window, and broke into her boudoir.
Chen Ling kicked the person out with a clever wit. The man grabbed her leg and quickly said, "It's me!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled down his veil, and his handsome face was covered in blood.
Before Ouyang ...... finished speaking, she heard urgent footsteps outside, and said solemnly, "Ju'er, go outside and take a look." ”
Ju'er was sleeping outside, and was about to go inside when he heard the noise, and suddenly heard his words, and opened the door in response, only to see two Praetorian Guards standing outside, raising their hands and about to knock on the door: "What's the matter?" ”
The one on the left bowed his head and said, "Just now I heard a noise from above, and I was afraid that someone would enter, so I wanted to come and investigate." ”
"Oh, it's fine." Ju'er blinked, "...... just now"
At this moment, Chen Ling's cross talk came from inside: "I was practicing just now, and I accidentally kicked the window, so I'll send someone to repair it tomorrow!" ”
"Yes." Although they had doubts, they did not dare to say more.
Just as they were turning, the one behind them spoke, "Tell the people that you must not speak to anyone about the events of this night, or else you will ...... Don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
The two couldn't help but be shocked by her momentum, and clenched their fists and bowed their heads: "Obey." ”
With a 'squeak', Chen Ling glanced at the man sitting on the chair, and said with some displeasure: "Why come to me and ask Huage, isn't it better?" ”
Hearing this, Ouyang raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”
"If someone sees it, you and I will not be able to argue." As she spoke, her eyes narrowed, "But with Peony, it's a different matter." ”
Ouyang couldn't help laughing, suddenly frowned, leaned forward, and covered his right shoulder with his hand, as if he was enduring severe pain.
She walked over and took a look, only to see that there was an extremely long cut in his back, and blood spurted out of it, and his back was soaked through: "What's the matter?" ”
With that, she hurriedly took a bottle of gold sore medicine from the bedside, tore open his clothes, and poured it on. Ouyang's body couldn't help but tremble, gritting his teeth without making a muffled sound.
When he was properly bandaged, she sat down in front of him and looked straight at him.
Ouyang Yu poured himself a cup of tea and moistened his throat: "I was stabbed." ”
"What do you explain by this dress?"
He held his chin with his hand, and his blood-lost lips looked slightly pale, but the phoenix eyes were bright: "Want to know?" First of all, tell the king why he suddenly mentioned peonies? ”
"......" Chen Ling rolled his eyes, not wanting to look at him, no matter where he turned, he could feel his gaze, and he was unconsciously attracted to it, and finally said, "You and the peony girl have a deep relationship, and the deeds have spread all over the royal city." ”
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Even if the light was dim, he could still notice the faint flush in those smart eyes.
She lowered her head and muttered, "Just ...... I fell asleep while taking a bath and accidentally drowned...... Aren't you going to explain to me what happened tonight? ”
Ouyang Yu's hand that was about to reach out in front of her retracted, picked up the teacup and took another sip: "There is something, it's better that you still don't know." ”
"Oh." She didn't ask any more questions.
After a long time, he still hasn't left. Chen Ling couldn't help but yawn and said, "You're not leaving?" ”
"It's not convenient right now." As he spoke, he glanced at the window.
Chen Ling got up and opened the window, looked around, and saw many figures hurrying on the streets of Wangcheng, and even a few looked at her, took a basin of footwashing water and poured it out, and then closed the door.
"It's really inconvenient." With that, she went back to the bedside, blew out the candle, and then whispered, "If you don't dislike it, you can go and sleep behind the screen for the night." ”
With that, she closed her eyes.
Ouyang Yu really went to the screen, and was sitting on the ground, when he received a quilt thrown out of the bed: "Ling'er is considerate, and she will be a virtuous wife in the future." ”
Chen Ling was silent, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and he was a little sad, so he only said, "Sleep." ”
The next day, when she woke up, there was no one behind the screen, only a few traces of blood left in the room. Chen Ling wiped the blood away, opened the window and looked at the wall, but there was no stain.
Ju'er came in with a set of clothes: "Miss, what are you wearing today?" ”
"Wear overalls!"
Today is her first day after taking office, so she naturally has to wear a fast trap costume and go to work happily! By the time she arrived at the Punishment Department, there were already hundreds of people practicing on the playground in the backyard.
She watched and learned a little, and finally found that it was not as good as her own, so she started running to warm up. After she had run a few laps, the prince came to her side and asked gently, "Lingling, it's so early!" Which case do you want to take today? ”
Chen Ling's eyes lit up: "You can choose freely?" ”
"No one else can, but you're different." She is his quasi-crown princess, and it is natural to open a small stove.
Chen Ling pulled away his face and showed a bright smile: "I want to be difficult!" ”
After that, she went to the archives, pulled out the old case, and finally found Lily's family case - the Liu family corruption case.
As soon as he opened it and looked at it twice, he was stopped by the prince: "Lingling, what are you doing with this?" ……”
Thinking that he hadn't interceded with her in advance, Chen Zhuyuan's tone was a little softer: "This row of brochures can't be opened. ”
"Why?"
"Because it's all final." Chen Zhuyuan patiently popularized science, "These cases are already clear, and the truth is known, so there is no need to review them anymore." You just have to look through the other side. ”
With that, Chen Zhuyuan pointed to the largest room next to him.
"But when I take a cursory look, there are many strange things about this case." As she spoke, she tugged at the grip inside and asked bluntly, "The other cases have ten pages and explain things very clearly, but this one only took one page to write such a big corruption case, and the conviction clause behind it is only one page, don't you feel strange?" ”
Chen was unimpressed: "This is the case in many cases. ”
"But the cause and effect of this case have not been explained, and I have seen other cases, but this phenomenon has not been seen."
Chen Zhuyuan listened to her words, and began to doubt in his heart, took a look and saw that it was indeed the case, and when he looked back, he saw the last big seal, and his heart was shocked, "There is indeed something strange." ”
How can there be a case of a queen mother in the Criminal Department?
Chen Ling didn't know that it was the queen's phoenix seal, and only saw the line that introduced the women of the family - Liu Yingying and Liu Yingluan were sold into the Wenhua Pavilion and taken as peonies and lilies, and they were prostitutes all their lives, and they paid for their father's crimes!
It turns out that Peony and Lily are sisters!
