Chapter 207: Jade Hairpin
Things seemed to be very wrong, Zhou Shuxuan walked up to her and poked her gently, and asked, "Why are you so unwilling, is something wrong?" ”
Miaoli came back to her senses at this time, but she was still stunned, and replied incorrectly: "You can eat anything at night, I don't care." ”
What's the matter with what's eaten?
"What the hell are you thinking? I ask you if something is wrong? ”
Miao Li didn't think about it, she just shook her head, "Nothing happened, I just got a little distracted, and I didn't hear what you were talking about just now." ”
It's too strange, Zhou Shuxuan let people come in, light the lamp, add some charcoal, and take off his robe before he sat down beside her, wanting to talk to her properly.
After sitting down, he felt as if there was something under the cushion, Zhou Shuxuan lifted the cushion and pulled it down, took an envelope and came out, there was no name on it. Miao Li is still in a restless mood and doesn't notice what he's doing.
Zhou Shuxuan was full of suspicions, the place where he was sitting now was where Miaoli could reach out, reached out and probed inside, and took out a jasper hairpin and a piece of paper from it, which read, "I only hope that your heart is like my heart, and I will live up to my love."
Love poems?
Zhou Shuxuan couldn't react for a while, but it was still within Miaoli's reach, and a man would think wildly.
Zhou Shuxuan asked himself not to think about the mess, and held the hairpin in front of Miaoli and asked, "What is this?" ”
Miaoli was still absent-minded, glanced at his hand, and said perfunctorily: "Is this what you gave me?" It's beautiful. Without looking at the expression on his face, Miao Li took it and held it in her hand.
Zhou Shuxuan's face was full of question marks, he would send this kind of thing, jade is not a good jade, and the workmanship is also very rough, he can't take this kind of thing, these crafts can only be outside the palace.
But looking at her like this, it looks like she doesn't know that thing at all. Strange, but what was she thinking absent-mindedly?
Zhou Shuxuan asked again, "What are you thinking?" ”
"There's really nothing." Miao Li looked at the hairpin in her hand again, played with it in her hand, and then handed it to him, "It's really beautiful, you can help me put it on." ”
Zhou Shuxuan's hand froze in the air, and it was not wearing it or not. I clenched the letter tightly in my hand, and my fists were almost sweating. finally took the hairpin in her hand, and then threw it on the table, "This doesn't seem to be very good for you, so don't bring it." ”
Miaoli didn't react again, and Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "Has anyone been here today?" ”
Xu Meitang was recognized by her at that time, and the palace maids also saw it, and they must not be able to hide it, so they said: "The princess is here, maybe she is angry in her heart, and she said a few words in a weird way and left." ”
Zhou Shuxuan kept staring at her while speaking, and saw that Miaoli's eyes were a little dodgy, which was a sign of lying.
"What you say is true?"
Miao Li was afraid of his questioning, so she said with certainty: "It's all true, what I lied to you for, what I said is absolutely true." ”
kept affirming what he said, and didn't say what Xu Meitang said at the time, this is still a sign of lying.
It's impossible, Miaoli has always been good, and there has never been such behavior before. At this time, Zhou Shuxuan still chose to believe her, and forced a smile and asked, "Did you hide some little secret in your heart and didn't tell me?" ”
Miao Li was shocked, and felt that Zhou Shuxuan seemed to have something abnormal today, and kept asking her these questions, as if she knew something. But if he knew, he wouldn't be so calm, he shouldn't have known, or he was testing her.
Miaoli is now in a mess in her head, and there is no way to think normally. still insisted on his answer, "I don't have any little secrets, only the crown princess has been here today, I don't believe you to ask them." ”
Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the hairpin on the table, and the things he was still pinching in his hands, and really got up to ask.
Miao Li looked at his back and felt that he was weird, as if he didn't trust himself. She shouldn't have had this strange feeling, after all, she really had something to hide from him. It seems that after Xu Meitang left, she couldn't think about it.
Zhou Shuxuan walked outside, Zhu'er was waiting outside, this was Miaoli's personal girl, she knew what Miaoli did. Zhou Shuxuan asked recently: "Who did the girl see today?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, there are some embroidery girls, and there is the crown princess, but the princess came in as a palace maid, as if she was sneaky."
Zhou Shuxuan now feels a little crazy, and he can't calm down when he hears the words sneak. Forcing himself not to think too much, he asked, "Then who did she meet yesterday?" ”
Zhu'er thought about it for a while, "Just a stall in Langzhong, the girl seemed to be very familiar with him, and the two talked for a while. ”
It should be Lu Guangbai, Zhou Shuxuan asked again: "Did they only speak?" ”
"That Lang Zhong seems to have given the girl something."
"What's that?"
"A small medicine bottle, it seems to cure the lack of qi and blood."
"Is it just a small medicine bottle? Isn't there this? Zhou Shuxuan showed momentum, as if he was forcing a prisoner, and held the envelope in his hand in front of Zhu'er.
Zhu'er's face changed greatly after seeing it, and she knelt on the ground with a bang, and stopped talking. Zhou Shuxuan was a little frightened by her movements, what did she mean by kneeling? It can't be a lack of heart.
Zhou Shuxuan still had a cold face, and asked sharply: "Say, is there such a letter?" ”
Zhu'er seemed to be very scared, kneeling on the ground and trembling, "Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave and maid didn't know that they were standing far away at that time, and the slave and maid didn't see clearly. ”
The stammering thing is the current word that has been debunked, and I don't know if what she said is true or false.
Zhou Shuxuan slowed down a little and said, "You are not defending her, you are harming her." What are you doing when she talks to other men, is it because she has a ghost in her heart? You'd better be honest and make things clear to Lone, or you'll be dragged out and killed. ”
Zhu'er was so frightened that she was like a sifting chaff, and she kept shaking, and then said, "Back to Your Highness, the girl did take this letter at that time. However, it has not been opened, so the slave and maid have been put away. The other slaves and maids did not know, but the girl did not let the slaves and maids in this afternoon. ”
The whole process has been said, there is a cause and effect, and Zhou Shuxuan still doesn't believe that this is the case.
"Get out!"
After letting Zhu'er leave, Zhou Shuxuan didn't go back to find Miaoli, and went to the front hall to sit down, wanting to calm himself down. Things shouldn't be what he imagined, how could Miao Li have anything to do with Lu Guangbai?
Miao Li has not been interested in Lu Guangbai for so long on Zhaoyun Mountain, let alone now, it should not be. Lu Guangbai is also a righteous gentleman, he will never do such a thing, everything is what he thinks too much.
But how to explain Miaoli's restlessness, how to explain the letter and hairpin in his hand, his eyes are still dodgy, obviously lying to him. These performances are not fake, and if he wants to believe that they are fake, he must give a reason.
Impossible, he really believes in Miao Li. It's useless to go on with this kind of fantasy, you still have to find someone to ask clearly, yes, you must ask clearly. Whatever the truth is, it has to be asked.
Zhou Shuxuan returned to the back and found that Miaoli was still in a daze, as if he didn't know that he had been out for a long time. Walked up to Miaoli, slapped the letter in his hand on the table, and asked, "Who wrote this?" ”
Miao Li glanced at it and replied as usual: "Li Zhiyi wrote it, divination operator." ”
"I'm not asking who wrote this poem, I'm asking who wrote this character?"
Miao Li glanced at the handwriting, and the stroke was rough and powerful, it should be a man's handwriting. "If it doesn't look like what you wrote, then I won't recognize it."
Zhou Shuxuan raised the hairpin again and asked, "Then do you know this hairpin?" ”
"Didn't you give it to me?"
What the hell is being said? Zhou Shuxuan looked at her current expression, and she was actually serious, and she didn't see any sign of lying, but what Zhu'er said just now ......
Zhou Shuxuan calmed down and said: "This hairpin and Li Zhiyi's poem were both found under the mat just now, packed in an envelope, and there is no signature on it. ”
Miao Li now fully understood what he was saying, sat up straight and asked, "Do you think I hid it behind your back?" ”
Zhou Shuxuan nodded, this time is to tell the truth.
"Huh!" Miao Li followed his words and asked, "Who do you think gave it to me?" ”
"Didn't you see Lu Guangbai when you went out of the city yesterday? Didn't he give it to you? Zhou Shuxuan is still in a state of questioning and is not angry.
Miao Li's words were a little unclear, "I...... I...... He only gave me a small vial of medicine, why did he give me this? Why don't I remember he gave me this? ”
Where did this all come about, Miaoli flipped through the mat, she didn't know what was put underneath.
Zhou Shuxuan stared at her, judging from his years of experience in trying cases, from the fact that Miaoli's reactions when he came to the door were true, there was no trace of lying. "I have already asked Zhu'er, and she said that it was Lu Guangbai who gave it to you. I'm sure you don't have anything, so you don't have to lie to me. This is just a piece of the senior brother's heart for the younger sister. ”
This...... led her to drill into the circle, and writing love poems was still a piece of affection from the senior brother to the junior sister, obviously wanting her to admit that it was sent by Lu Guangbai.
"I have nothing with him, and those who are clear are self-purifying. It's true that he didn't give it, and I didn't know these things existed. Who are you asking? Let her in and make it clear in front of me. ”
Say it face to face, Zhou Shuxuan just heard it clearly, and he is not afraid to confront him face to face. shouted to the outside world, "Pearl!"
Knowing that Zhu'er was staying outside after the incident, Zhou Shuxuan came in as soon as he called.
Miao Li took the jade hairpin and the letter and asked, "Did you tell the prince that these were given to me by someone else yesterday?" Don't you speak with a clear conscience? ”
"Girl, the slave did see it yesterday, and she told the truth."
