The side courtyard was isolated, and Hua Xiao sent someone to guard the gate of the courtyard.

The group retreated into the garden, waiting for the arrival of the wrongdoer.

In order to prevent the murderer from escaping, Hua Xiao ordered King Yi's mansion to be closed, and everyone could only enter and not leave.

He also sent someone to report to Concubine Sheng, saying that he and the princess had seen the dead man today, and they were discouraged, and that today's greeting would be waived, and they would go again tomorrow morning.

At this time, Li Qing asked, "How long will Mr. He arrive?" ”

Sheng Shan'er, who had just been scared by her once, asked angrily, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Qing said: "After a while, when Mr. He arrives, he will definitely be very busy." If I have enough time, I'd like to have breakfast first. ”

You don't have to go to the concubine to say goodbye, why are you still hungry? Masochism?

Sheng Shan'er looked at Li Qing with the corners of her mouth twitching: "You...... Can you still eat? ”

Li Qing raised his eyelids and looked at her, and asked rhetorically, "You can't eat it?" ”

Sheng Shan'er stretched out her hand and pointed to the side courtyard, "After seeing such a terrible thing, how could I possibly eat it?!" ”

Li Qing looked at her like a fool: "Then what are you still doing here?" After a while, Mr. He will come and open his stomach, dig out his heart and liver, and take out the stomach that you usually use to hold food, and open it to see if there is any water in it. ”

“…… You, you, you shut up! Whose stomach do you say?! Sheng Shan'er was going crazy, she couldn't control herself from thinking about the disemboweling scene, her scalp was numb, her abdomen rolled, and she turned around and leaned on the railing to retch in the artificial lake.

She was not the only one who wanted to vomit, Liu Wu and the other two maid rings also covered their mouths tightly, and the other people's faces were not very good-looking, their faces were blue and black, not much better than the female corpse lying in the courtyard.

Only Hua Xiao and the guards beside him had normal faces, but they looked at Li Qing's eyes and were a little speechless.

……

The breakfast was still delivered, and it was placed in the pavilion by the clear lake that was dug out by hand.

In autumn, the pavilion is equipped with a curtain to block most of the wind.

Li Qing and Hua Xiao sat opposite each other, and the others stood outside the pavilion waiting. As for Sheng Shan'er, her face turned pale after retching, and her hands and feet were weak, so Hua Xiao asked Yahuan to help her back.

Eat without saying anything.

Although Li Qing and Hua Xiao are already "husband and wife" who have visited the church, they have never lifted their hijabs, never drunk wine, never tied their hair, and of course have never had a round room, and they didn't even know what each other looked like before, and they only met for the first time this morning, which is almost equivalent to strangers.

Suddenly being forced closer by such a suspected murder incident, he was not embarrassed when he was busy, but when he calmed down, Hua Xiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he was full of curiosity about a woman like Li Qing, who was bold and careful, maverick, and ran away with Sheng Shan'er.

Li Qing didn't feel embarrassed, she was thinking about a lot of things in her mind while eating: about the case, about the jade pendant that Hua Xiao wore that day.

While thinking about her eyes, she casually glanced at Hua Xiao, just in line with his gaze.

The two of them staggered their eyes at the same time.

Hua Xiao put down the dishes and chopsticks, coughed lightly, and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

Li thought about it lightly, then put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Oh, what do you think about this case?" ”

Hua Xiao: "......." ”

"Let's talk about it after eating." Hua Xiao said with a little headache.

Didn't you ask me to ask? Li Qing sighed in his heart and picked up the dishes and chopsticks again.
