Listening to the Bixiao Pavilion of the Wind Courtyard, Chun Tao was instructing the second-class maid to clean the room spotlessly, busy with her own work, like a hostess, and said to the people who were busy in the house: "You can do it carefully, if the prince comes back and sees a speck of dust, I can't spare you!" The fierce tone and the beautiful face are really far from the same.

Hanxin was stopped as soon as he delivered a plate of fruit to the door of Tingfeng Courtyard, because his level was too low and he was not qualified to enter at all. Turning around to listen to the rain courtyard, I saw a hurried figure sneaking out of the direction of Chun Tao's room, and I looked at it carefully, it was a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

At this time, I saw only a low-level maid leaning over the figure slightly and said, "Miss Qiuxue, Mother Liu invited you to take a visit, saying that she would like you to take a look at the recipe of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World today." ”

"Okay, I got it!"

As soon as I heard this voice, my heart suddenly sounded, it was this person who was talking to Liu's mother in the room that day, looking at her cautious appearance just now, I am afraid that there is not some conspiracy.

Qiu Xue hurriedly came to Liu's mother's room, and came out after a while, her face full of joy, as if she had encountered something happy.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the courtyard is quiet when listening to the rain, and the people are basically asleep.

I only heard a scream, breaking the silence, and listening to the rain suddenly became lively in the courtyard. A slightly handsome young man was tied up by the guards of the palace and thrown into the courtyard of listening to the rain, and the rooms of the subordinates were lit one after another, and there were more and more people in the courtyard. When he saw the tied young man fall to the ground, still struggling, he shouted, "I am not a thief, I am not a thief." ”

The old prince and the prince had already fallen asleep, and the people didn't dare to alarm, so they could only find Steward Fu to deal with this matter.

Steward Fu came to the courtyard, looked at the tied man, and said solemnly: "You dare to come to Prince Gong's mansion to spread wilderness, don't you want to live?" ”

The kidnapped man seemed to be frightened, raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Liu's mother, and hurriedly said, "I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief." After speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head again, looking very scared.

Steward Fu shouted to the guards on the side: "You said that you are not a thief, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night, sneaking around in the corner of the palace, come on, search his body for me, I want to see how dare he dare to steal things from the palace." ”

Several guards rushed up and stripped the kidnapped man's clothes, and finally found nothing of value except a ball of red cloth.

The guard handed the red cloth to Steward Fu, who commanded, "Open it." The people present showed curiosity and craned their necks to see what was inside.

The red cloth was slowly opened, and the contents became clearer and clearer, there were two belly pockets of different colors, stacked together, the upper one was red, and the mandarin duck playing in the water was embroidered, and the lower one was yellow, with a few plants embroidered on it. Qiu Xue on the side originally had an expression of watching a play, but suddenly her face was full of fear, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was worried about something.

The people present were in an uproar, and Steward Fu's face was ugly.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows this matter at a glance, it turns out that this man is not here to steal, but to have a private meeting with his lover. The butler Fu didn't know how to deal with it, and the maid had an affair with someone, which was a matter of decency related to the palace, and I was afraid that I had to ask the prince to decide.

Now that the prince has fallen asleep, he will alarm again, and it is not good, so he asked the guards to put the man in the firewood room and deal with it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Chun Tao waited for Dongfang Sheng to have breakfast in the Bixiao Pavilion. Steward Fu reported the matter and presented the evidence together, Dongfang Sheng heard about it, and did not get angry, but said to Chun Tao on the side: "You go and see if this so-called evidence is denied!" It's a thing for you girls, you might know. ”

Hearing Shizi's order, Chun Tao was immediately overjoyed, let himself see such an important thing, does it mean that he is more trustworthy in his heart.

Walking forward, Chun Tao gently opened the red cloth, and the mandarin duck playing in the water belly pocket was presented in front of him, looking at this belly pocket that he was very familiar with, Chun Tao's face changed and changed, and he hesitated slightly.

"Do you see clearly? What is it? Dongfang Sheng spoke. The flat voice seemed to narrate something extremely boring.

Chun Tao was stunned for a moment and said: "Shizi, it's just an ordinary belly pocket of my daughter's family, Shizi still don't look at it, I'm afraid it will stain your eyes." ”

Hearing Chun Tao's words, Dongfang Sheng finally raised his eyes slightly, put down the jade spoon in his hand, and looked at it with a pair of cold peach blossom eyes. Seeing Shizi's gaze, Chun Tao hurriedly wrapped the red cloth in his hand, cutting off Dongfang Sheng's sight.

Suddenly, a guard hurriedly entered the Tingfeng Courtyard, stood outside the hall and said, "Qi Yu Shizi, the thief who was locked in the firewood room died last night, and he was killed by a knife through his heart. ”

Hearing the guard's words, Dongfang Sheng finally sat up straight, a playful smile hung on his lips, and his already evil and handsome face was even more infinitely bright, making Chun Tao on the side fascinated.

I saw Dongfang Sheng say to the Fu steward on the side: "Gather all the subordinates in the palace to gather in the Tingfeng Courtyard." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

After a while, all the subordinates in Prince Gong's mansion gathered in Tingfeng Courtyard. Everyone stood quietly in place, silently looking at the prince who was on the high seat.

In front of the subordinates lay a table on which the mass of evidence was placed, and beside the table lay the man who had been killed, with a translucent and cold knife in his chest, his eyes wide open, and his slightly open mouth as if he had something to say. When the people saw the man's death, they showed a horrified expression one by one.

Steward Fu said loudly: "When such a thing happens in the palace, everyone present has the responsibility of not supervising properly, and today the prince of the world spoke, as long as anyone can find out the murderer and eliminate the harm for the palace, he can be promoted to a first-class slave or a first-class guard, and get a bounty of fifty gold." As soon as these words came out, there was a whisper below.

Halfway through, I saw a small hand slowly raised. Although he was a little scared, he still bravely straightened his hand. Steward Fu's eyes lit up, and he said downward, please this maid.

Everyone got out of the way, and Hanxin slowly walked out. The thin figure is particularly dazzling in the crowd.

Hanxin slowly walked to the table, saluted Shizi, and said, "I don't know who the murderer is, but I can give clues that I have observed. After speaking, Hanxin stretched out his hand to open the red cloth, lifted the red mandarin duck belly pocket on the upper layer and said: "Although this belly pocket is a style that ordinary women can see, its fabric is expensive and rare cloud brocade, not an ordinary maid can get, and the mandarin duck pattern on this top, the stitches are clear, and the stitches are fine, and it should come from the female red master at a glance." Chun Tao on the side looked at the belly pocket in Hanxin's hand, her face was pale, her palms were sweaty, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Hanxin, who was talking above, as if she was about to burn.

Hanxin felt a vicious gaze, put down his belly pocket calmly, picked up the second belly pocket and looked at it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said: "This belly pocket has bright eyes, the owner should be a lively girl, and the fragrance on it is extremely unique and not greasy, it should be sprinkled with fragrance from Jinxiang Pavilion." Listening to the cold words, Qiu Xue's feet were slightly soft, and Mother Liu on the side quickly helped her and nodded slightly, signaling her to feel at ease.

Hanxin put down his belly pocket, looked at the dead man on the ground, turned to the east where he was sitting high, and saluted, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness, the slave and maid are vulgar and shallow, and they only know so much, I hope it can help Your Highness catch the real murderer." With that, he stood quietly aside.

"Look up." Dongfang Sheng's beautiful voice came out.

In response, he raised his little face slightly, looked at the high position, and met a smile but not a smile.

Dongfang Sheng looked at the cold heart below, and felt that this woman was very smart, she should know who the real murderer was, but she only said half of what she said, and she was extremely clever. With a goose-egg-shaped small face and small facial features, she is not a beauty, but her delicate facial features are particularly pleasing to the eye, especially a pair of transparent and pure eyes, which seem to be able to see through everything. Dressed in simple linen clothes, it is impossible to ignore in the crowd. This calm and transparent temperament is better than others.

Looking at the woman who met his gaze, Dongfang Sheng unconsciously asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the world, the slave's name is Hanxin."

"From now on, Hanxin is a first-class maid in Tingfeng Courtyard, serving me" Dongfang Sheng's majestic voice came out.

Han Xin did not show an extremely happy expression, but lowered his head slightly, evoking a cold smile, from today onwards, the plan to assassinate Dongfang Sheng will officially begin.
