Chapter 168: The Secret of the Blade

Hongluan didn't know what the Prince's meeting was about, she had been sitting on the roof for so long, but her mood was really cheerful, and she fell asleep after lying down for a short time.

woke up early the next morning without breakfast, took Xing'er and Zhaodi to the East Palace, and asked Erya to stay to deal with Liu'er and Xiaoyuan and others; There is a palace maid in charge to write down everything, let them do things according to the rules first, and wait for her to come back and take a look.

When I walked to the lakeside pavilion, I saw the prince and his party, and when I saw Hongluan, someone came over to ask: "Girl, His Royal Highness the prince has summoned you to wait." ”

Hongluan went over to salute alone, and the people around the prince had already retreated, leaving only two people in the pavilion.

The prince looked at the lake: "We thought wrong. ”

Hongluan didn't understand what the prince said, and when he heard the prince's words, he also knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately and stood still.

"Maybe I'm wrong;" The prince turned his head and looked at Hongluan: "You haven't eaten yet, come with me." ”

Hongluan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

The prince had already sat down: "If you dare or not, I say that it will be done; When you get up and speak, and everyone sees me either kneeling or bowing, do you think I'm happy? ”

Hongluan got up, she didn't understand what was upset, and if someone was rude in front of the prince and didn't kneel and bow to him, the prince would not be unhappy, he would cut off someone's head.

"I don't even know what they think in their hearts, can I believe that there are only a few people who can be counted, and just kneeling is loyalty?" The prince waved his hand and said again, "You can sit down." ”

Hongluan looked at the prince, sat on her side and sat half of her ass, she didn't dare to answer half a sentence about the prince.

"That time we talked by the lake;" The prince looked at Hongluan: "Are you guessing how the murder weapon disappeared into the lake?" ”

Hongluan didn't want to answer, she wanted to pretend to be stupid, the prince had already picked out the words so clearly, she still said obediently: "The slave guessed it should be ice." ”

The prince looked at Hongluan: "I think the same way, it's just wrong; The ice in the freezer is supplied according to the quantity, and the size is regulated; Those who can make sharp weapons are not less; The freezer has strictly checked and no one has a problem. ”

Hongluan was stunned: "It's not ice?" She didn't expect it, and she thought it was ice.

Because midsummer is approaching, the palace has begun to supply ice to cool down the nobles, so she thinks that it should not be difficult to make sharp weapons out of ice; But the prince said no, it must not be - he was assassinated, but he couldn't be sloppy. And this time the assassinated prince obviously attaches great importance to it, unlike the original several assassinations; She felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask.

The prince nodded: "It's not ice, I also searched my body that day, and no one brought sharp weapons on my body; I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so I thought that you had to think of ice in one sentence that day, so I called you over and asked if what you thought was different from what I thought. ”

Hongluan lowered his head and was silent for a long time: "Have you searched all over your body?" ”

"I've searched them all." The prince was sure: "I can trust those people." He was referring to the search guards.

Hongluan shook his head: "The slave doesn't understand this, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince nodded and smiled: "I know you don't understand, but you always have some ideas that are different from others, maybe they can remind us of something; Let's eat first, and when you're full, you might be able to think of something. ”

Hongluan looked at the table full of food, to be honest, she really wanted to eat, if it wasn't for the prince, she would have done it a long time ago: if she couldn't eat it, she would have to go back to Erya and the others to taste it - they usually don't even sniff this kind of food.

The prince is not an idler, even if he seems to be idle every day; And he couldn't really be looking for a woman like himself for the Assassins: could it be that he suspected that he had something to do with the Assassins? Hongluan broke out in a cold sweat and began to think hard, not wanting to be a fool one day.

If the prince wants to kill someone, it is not as easy as cutting vegetables, and it must be eliminated from the prince's suspicion of her. Hongluan began to think seriously: "Your Highness, maybe that sharp weapon is very small. "When she was a beggar, she had heard that there was a kind of sword that could be rolled up, as thin as paper, soft as cotton, but unusually sharp.

"Not small; Looking at your wounds, I deduced that it should be a two-finger dagger with a wide width. The prince glanced at Hongluan, but what appeared in front of him was the cute grimace under the lantern that night: "Although it is not big, as long as you bring it with you, you will never be able to find it." ”

In fact, he didn't know what he had to summon Hongluan for, and it was impossible for this little woman to solve such a big matter; But there must be a ...... that the prince choked on the soup in his mouth.

Hongluan hurriedly wiped the prince, I don't know why he was so good that he could choke.

The prince took the red luan handkerchief and wiped it himself: "You sit down, I'm just careless." ”

Hongluan stood aside with a wry smile, but he really didn't know how to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, so he could only do it himself; Seeing that he was okay and not burned, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his seat: "Two fingers wide, if it is one finger wide, I can't say that I can't roll it up and hide it under my tongue; Two finger widths is impossible. ”

The prince wiped his hair and was slightly surprised, and looked up at Hongluan: "Is there a blade that can be rolled up?" ”

Hongluan was a little at a loss by the prince: "There should be, the slave maid has just heard about it." She said the weapon that sounded sharp and said no more, but she wondered how she could prove that she had nothing to do with the assassination.

If the prince doubts her, he will definitely doubt King Fu; If it really doesn't work, go to King Fu and ask for advice - no, it's just a plot with a tiger; Hongluan shuddered when he thought of King Fu's eyes, or it was rare to see King Fu to save his life.

The prince was silent for a long time before he said, "If there really is such a thing, the sharp weapon has already been taken away; We had a preconceived idea that it was a dagger, and naturally it would not make people open their mouths. He stroked his palm: "You must be very familiar with what I do, and I can count so many people, this person thinks a lot." ”

Hongluan looked down at the soup in the bowl in front of him, it was so fragrant; She didn't hear anything, she didn't hear anything.

The prince looked at Hongluan and said with a smile: "You are really my auspicious star, do you want to come to the East Palace on an errand?" ”

Hongluan plopped down and knelt on the ground: "The slave is vulgar and unbearable...... "I was miserable in my heart: Prince, it's good to say that I have also saved you once or twice, so you don't need to force people to death like this, right?

The prince coughed a few times and interrupted Hongluan's words, but he was silent, and sat there motionless, so that Hongluan's heart didn't know what to do; She can't go to the East Palace, but the prince coughs lightly and can't refuse herself, how can she be?
