Chapter 57: If You Aren't Married

Chinese Lou Yue carried Su Liuying and walked directly outside, walked all the way to the carriage outside, threw her into the car, and told Nanshan to send her back to the palace.

Su Liuying panicked, grabbed his arm, and said in a loud voice

"Lord Shizi, the slave and maid have an errand and can't leave here......"

"You have an errand here?!" Hearing this, Lou Yue looked back at her coldly and said angrily

"Do you know who's behind this? How many lives do you have to send? Thinking that she had helped Ning Guifei find out the real murderer without caring about it before, and almost died in the hands of the assassin, Lou Yue was still afraid that she would continue to fall into this dangerous situation.

However, Su Liuying's desire to track down the people behind the assassin was not all for Ning Guifei. Thinking of the string of rosewood Buddha beads in her arms, Su Liuying's heart has not settled, although the countless denials of the Buddha beads in her heart have nothing to do with Ah Niang, but the little word 'Qiong' on the Buddha's head pokes her nerves all the time, making her eager to know, who is the real owner behind this string of Buddha beads?

She knew that Lou Yue was worried about her safety, but she insisted on solving the mystery of the Buddha beads. Therefore, she had to take what Concubine Ning Guifei had said to her in Anguo Temple to convince Lou Yue to let her stay.

She jumped off her horse and said

"Since I intervened in the case of Ning Guifei's miscarriage, I have been unable to get out of it, and the real people behind the scenes will not let me go, so Guifei Niangniang is right, instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative and find out who is behind the scenes." Lou Yue didn't understand this reason, and he took the initiative to take the assassin case, just to find out before the mastermind behind the scenes attacked her and protect her.

Staring at her, Lou Yue said with a straight face

"Now this case is under the control of this son. You mean that you think that this son can't find out who is behind the scenes, but you can?! Su Liuying meant this, but she didn't know how to explain it to him for a while, and her face immediately turned red.

Fortunately, the blackened face covered her blush, and only a pair of translucent eyes showed a quick color, which became more and more bright under the reflection of the snow, which made Lou Yue's heart flutter.

Obviously, standing in front of him at the moment was a thin boy dressed in errand clothes and with a dark face, but Lou Yue couldn't help but reach out to her cheek when he saw a few heartbeats...... Looking at the outstretched hand, Su Liuying instinctively thought that he was angry and wanted to beat himself, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, wanting to hide but not daring, so he had to stiffen his body and look at him in a daze.

When she looked at her, Lou Yue came back to her senses, but her hand had reached her face, and it was impossible to take it back.

Thanks to his quick reaction, he silently put away a few fingers, changed the touch to poke, poked her head with his index finger, and said coldly

"It's okay to stay in the criminal department if you want to, but you can't appear in front of this world like this, dirty eyes!" Seeing that he was willing to let him stay, Su Liuying didn't notice the panic in someone's eyes at all, and nodded happily.

Lou Yue turned around and left, and Su Liuying followed him back to the Punishment Department. Looking at his right hand with his negative hand behind him, he suddenly remembered the broad palm he had clenched tightly in his nightmare on the night of Laba Festival, and his face suddenly became hot.

She thought that she was so determined to return his things, and let Su Shiyu bring him such ruthless words, according to his previous temperament, he must not be able to stand her humiliation once or twice, and turned against her.

However, unexpectedly, instead of hating her, he just returned the package silently, and also sent her laba porridge, and silently accompanied him when he was helpless in his nightmares...... And now that they met again in the Criminal Department, he was also like no one, caring about her as usual, as if what had been done to him had never happened, avoiding her helplessness and embarrassment...... Somewhere in her heart warmed up little by little, Su Liuying was grateful for his tolerance of herself, but when she thought of his dedication to herself, her heart became extremely heavy - she was destined not to be with him, if he was so unwilling to let go, what would she do?

The three assassins locked in the water prison had already had the intention of dying, so no matter how the people in the criminal department interrogated them, they gritted their teeth and were unwilling to expose the instructors behind the scenes.

Seeing that the seven-day period given to her by Ning Guifei was about to arrive, Su Liuying was also in a hurry, she couldn't sleep and eat every day, and the corners of her mouth were blistering.

On the fifth day, there was still no clue, and even Concubine Ning couldn't sit still, so she summoned her back to the palace to ask about the situation.

As soon as she got out of the gate of the Punishment Department, there was a sound of a car behind her, and Nanshan stopped beside her in a carriage and said

"Master is also going to the palace, come up, by the way!" Su Liuying dared to ride in the same car with Lou Yue, plus she deliberately alienated him, and she was careful to avoid him in the Criminal Department these days, so she would not take Lou Yue's carriage at this time.

She glanced at the closed curtain and sneered

"It's okay, it's not too far, I'll just walk." After that, he deliberately moved his side to the side of the road and stayed away from the carriage.

The curtain was lifted, and Lou Yue's voice was cold without a trace of doubt and rebuttal

"Get in the car!" Su Liuying was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she climbed into the carriage with a bitter face, but she didn't go in, and sat side by side with Nanshan on the wheel.

Nanshan didn't know what Lou Yue meant, so he drove her into the car and told her

"Come in, I'm going to talk to you about the assassins." Su Liuying was worried that she had nothing to give to Concubine Ning when she went back, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she opened the curtain and climbed in.

In the car, Lou Yue sat upright, raised her eyes when she heard the sound, saw Su Liuying coming in, Liang Liang glanced at her, closed her eyes and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Asked himself to come in and didn't speak, Su Liuying couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he had to sit down carefully and mutter

"Have you ever asked the words from the Assassin's mouth these days?" In the face of Su Liuying's inquiry, Lou Yue still closed his eyes and did not answer, and the car suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

For a long time, just when Su Liuying was sitting at a loss, Lou Yue suddenly spoke abruptly, his voice was not as cold as before, with a hint of hoarse voice.

"Why should I return something?" He asked this sentence coldly, and Su Liuying was stunned for a moment.

After such a long time, she thought that he had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that he would finally be obsessed with returning his things on the day of the Laba Festival.

Her heart tightened, and she couldn't think of how to answer him.

"Why don't you want Lou's things in this life? Why do you hate the Lou family so much? Without waiting for Su Liuying to answer his first question, Lou Yue had already asked the deepest and most urgent question in his heart.

When he opened his eyes, he looked at her with an unusually normal light, but a monstrous wave turned in his heart, looking at her for a moment, waiting for her answer.

Does she hate the Lou family? Before returning to Beijing, her family and the Lou family had never intersected, and it can be said that the Lou family had no grievances with her.

Therefore, although she hated Lou Yue at that time, she did not hate the Lou family. And she made that vow back then, but it was because she belonged to Li Xiu at that time, she didn't want to marry Lou Yue, and she was afraid that her father and uncle would be afraid of the power of the Lou family to force her.

A-Niang said that the oath she made must be fulfilled, and Changshengtian is watching it from the sky. And A-Niang was afraid that she would break her oath and be reprimanded by Changshengtian, so before she died, she must remember that she would not have anything to do with the Lou family...... The heart sank minute by minute, and the bright eyes dimmed a little bit.

Suppressing the trembling and pain in her heart, Su Liuying lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at Lou Yue's eyes, her voice was as light as smoke-

"I don't hate the Lou family...... It's just that four years ago, I vowed not to marry into the Lou family in this life...... "Since I can't be with him, it's better to break all his thoughts ruthlessly...... As soon as these words came out, everything in heaven and earth seemed to be instantly still.

Lou Yue's whole body was shocked, the fingers that were tapping on the table suddenly tightened, his face turned a little pale, and he looked at her with heavy eyes, but he didn't say a word.

Su Liuying couldn't even breathe, hung her head stiffly, and didn't dare to look at him again. Suddenly, the carriage fell into a deathly silence...... Finally arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Liuying jumped out of the carriage as if she had fled, and was about to leave in a hurry, when Lou Yue's voice sounded in a low voice behind her-

"What if I might make a vow to marry you in this life?" Hearing this, Su Liuying's steps froze, and she looked back at Lou Yue with a serious face in shock.

After seeing the resoluteness between his expressions, her heart was flustered, and she pretended not to care on her face, and smiled indifferently

"The prince laughed, the wife you want to marry can only be the most noble princess of the Dayong Dynasty, not my little palace maid. The prince is a smart person, and if you don't let go of the things that should be let go as soon as possible, it will hurt each other. In the cold and windy winter, her thin body disappeared in the dark shadow of the tall palace gate, and the shallow smile raised at the corner of her mouth was like a beautiful and dazzling epiphany blooming in the deep palace, obviously so beautiful and gorgeous, but disappeared without a trace in the next moment, making people unpredictable and infinitely regretful...... Lou Yue stood in the wind with his hands in his hands, and looked at the woman who was smiling lightly and saying the most ruthless words to him for a moment...... Leaving the palace gate as if escaping, along the way, the palace people passing by will look back at her twice, Su Liuying raised his hand to touch his face, only to find that it was already damp...... She looked like this, and she dared to go to see Concubine Ning there, so she turned around and went back to the bureau first, planning to wash well before going to Changxin Palace.

Packing up her mood, she lowered her head and walked into the backyard of the division. At this hour, the subordinates of the bureau were busy, and the courtyard was quiet, Su Liuying returned to his room and opened the cabinet, and was about to get a clean clothes to change into, when his eyes glanced at the empty corner of the cabinet, and his heart suddenly sank with a 'pop'...... The package Lou Yue gave her is gone!

She thought of something instantly, and hurriedly leaned down to open the cabinet below, the box containing the bamboo flute was still there, but the precious golden silk jade wax plum hairpin that the stairs gave her was gone!

A heart fell like an ice cellar, and she sat on the ground, her mind blank...... Before she could recover from the shock, there was a noise in the courtyard, but it was the palace people from the bureau who had come back for dinner after their errands.

As soon as Sui'er entered the door, she saw Su Liuying sitting on the cold ground, and hurriedly exclaimed and pulled her up, looking at her pale and flustered face, and said worriedly

"What's wrong with you? I haven't seen you come back for a few days, why do you look like you're lost as soon as you come back? But the errand outside the palace was not done? "Before Su Liuying went to the Criminal Department, the aunt in charge only said that she was sent out of the palace to run an errand, so seeing her unruly look, Sui'er first instincted that she had smashed the errand outside the palace.

In Sui'er's repeated questioning, Su Liuying slowly came back to her senses. Her throat was dry and uncomfortable, and she said with difficulty

"Our house may have been burglarized, can you see if you have lost anything?" As soon as she heard that there was a thief in the house, Sui'er was also shocked, and quickly jumped up to rummage through her cabinet, and when she saw the intact money bag in the cabinet, she breathed a sigh of relief

"Thankfully, my money was not lost. Amitabha, this is my livelihood after leaving the palace......" Hearing that her money bag was not lost, Su Liuying was stunned, and the next moment, she got up and lifted the pillow on the bed, and her money bag was also there.

In an instant, a bright light crossed her mind - if it was a thief, why didn't she want silver taels, but she just took what Lou Yue gave her!

Could it be that Princess Lishu did these again? Because she was annoyed that Lou Yue gave her something, she took it away?

! The more you think about it, the more likely it becomes. Thinking of Lishu's hatred for herself, as well as her impulsive nature of ignoring it, Su Liuying could predict that those things would be destroyed by her anger when they reached her hands.

Thinking of this, she suddenly became anxious in her heart, and she couldn't wait to go to the Scarlet Palace to ask Lishu for it.

However, she has no evidence, and what can she take to ask a princess for something, maybe this is another trap set by Lishu for her.

After thinking about it, Su Liuying became more and more anxious, and Sui'er saw it and asked worriedly

"What did you lose?" She nodded, and then quickly shook her head. Sui'er was straightforward and couldn't hide her words, but before she got the things back, Su Liuying didn't want to make things bigger.

Sui'er saw that she nodded and shook her head again, and her heart was even more strange, and she couldn't help but say anxiously

"Have you ever lost something? If you lose it, I'll help you tell the aunt in charge, and ask her to search all the houses in this department, and the person who stole the things is the ...... in this courtyard."

"Don't worry." Su Liuying hurriedly persuaded Sui'er,

"I'm missing something, maybe I've misremembered the place, I'll just look for it."

"What is it, I'll help you find it?" Su Liuying tried to excuse herself, so she had to say that she still had something to tell her aunt in charge, wiped her face and changed her clothes to go out, and quietly went to Changxin Palace.

Knowing that the assassin had been reluctant to confess who was behind the scenes, Ning Guifei was also full of sadness, and she tightened her brows and gritted her teeth and said coldly

Qinghui was killed. Now, apart from these three assassins, there is no clue to find out who is behind the murder of my emperor. So, you have to find a way to get the assassin to speak, no matter what. Otherwise, it will be you and Hongu who will die. Ning Guifei's words shocked Su Liuying's whole body - if the real murderer knew that Ning Guifei and himself had been pursuing this case, I was afraid that they would attack them.

As if a big stone had been pressed on her heart, Su Liuying pondered for a moment, and finally hesitated to speak

"Niangniang, do you still remember the string of Buddhist beads that Qinghui hid the poison in the beginning?" Hearing this, Ning Guifei looked stunned, and the next moment she was puzzled

"You mean there's something special about that string of beads?" So far, Su Liuying had to tell the Buddha beads, but she still didn't take out the Buddha beads, let alone tell Ning Guifei the word 'Qiong' engraved on the Buddha's head.

She said

"If the slave is not mistaken, the string of Buddhist beads that Qinghui carried on her wrist at the beginning was not like ordinary Buddhist beads, but it was made of precious red sandalwood. Niangniang, just think about it, an ordinary temple girl, there will be such good things there. Ning Guifei understood it at one point, instantly understood, and gritted her teeth and hated

"If it is really a Buddha bead of red sandalwood, it must have been given to her by the master in her palace." Thinking that day when she heard what the assassin said in the dense forest, Su Liuying nodded in agreement and was about to speak, when Fei'er on the side listened, rolled her eyes, and took the lead

"Niangniang, why don't we call the mothers of the palace like the temple this time, and get a pair of beads of similar style, and see how they react? If it is abnormal, it must be the owner of the beads. Fei'er prides herself on being smart, and last time she watched Su Liuying use this trick to try out Qinghui in Anguo Temple, she thought about using this trick to try out the behind-the-scenes commander of Qinghui Buddha Beads.

Hearing this, Concubine Ning unconsciously looked at Su Liuying and said

"What do you think?" Sighing silently, Su Liuying said softly

"That's a good idea. However, this method is only suitable for people who are taken by surprise and have not been taken by warning. But after Qinghui's incident, the person behind the scenes was only afraid that he would be on guard, so he would not be fooled again. In this way, it will startle the snake. Ning Guifei nodded approvingly, turned her head and glared at Fei'er angrily, she retreated to the side with a red face, and didn't dare to say anything more.

"So—what's your plan?" I don't know when it started, Ning Guifei believed in Su Liuying more and more, and always felt that any tricky matter could find a breakthrough in her hands and solve it smoothly.

Thinking of the behind-the-scenes mystery of the red sandalwood Buddha beads that she had been carefully carrying on her body, Su Liuying plucked up her courage and said

"This matter has to start with the three assassins in the prison......" Coming out of Changxin Palace, Su Liuying did not rush back, but turned around and went to Princess Lishu's Scarlet Palace.

Walking to the verandah of the Hundred Gardens, I saw a beautifully dressed beauty sitting in the flower pavilion on the side of the road, surrounded by the palace maid, but it was Princess Lishu.

Su Liu's eyes turned slightly, but the next moment he took the initiative to kneel outside the flower pavilion to greet Lishu. Seeing that it was her, Lishu frowned, glared at her with disgust, and said coldly

"Get out of the way, Princess Ben doesn't want to see you." Hearing this, Su Liuying was overjoyed, and was about to get up and leave, Xiu'er, who had been looking in the direction of Yongkun Palace, said happily

"Princess, here you are!" Before the words fell, Lishu had already rushed out of the flower pavilion, pretending to pass by by accidentally, and bumped into Lou Yue who came out of Yongkun Palace head-on.

Seeing this, Su Liuying hurriedly retreated silently to the back of the verandah and hid herself, watching Lishu happily pull the corner of Lou Yue's robe and chatter.

"Brother Lou, it's the New Year soon, you have what you want, Shu'er will give you a New Year's gift."

"Whatever!"

"Brother Lou, there is a lantern festival in the New Year, can you take me out to play then?"

"I don't like lantern festivals!"

"Brother Lou ......" The two gradually drifted apart, Su Liuying, who was hiding behind the pillars, watched the backs of the two leave, watching Lishu pull Lou Yue's little hand in the sleeve robe, and felt a little envious and bitter in her heart inexplicably - once, she was also like Lishu, daring to love and hate, and never hiding the emotions in her heart.

However, now, whether she hates or loves, she has to carefully hide it. It's just because she has lost the power to love and hate...... Back at the Division, Sui'er was already asleep, Su Liuying reopened the cabinet, looked at the empty corner, and felt cold in her heart - when she first found out that the package was missing, the first thing she thought of was that Lishu took it.

But just now she deliberately went to show her face in front of Lishu, and after seeing her attitude towards herself, she suddenly understood that the person who took her things was not Princess Lishu.

According to Lishu's impulsive and willful temperament, if she knew that the white fox skin she asked for from Lou Yue was given to her by him, and there was such a precious golden silk jade hairpin, it was estimated that she would not test her by herself, she would have been so angry that she vomited blood, and came to the door to find trouble for herself.

would even ask Lou Yue when he saw him, instead of asking him what new gifts he wanted. Therefore, she expected that Lishu did not take the thing.

So, since it wasn't her, who would have deliberately taken what Lou Yue gave him? Su Liuying's brows tightened more and more, however, when she saw the obvious traces of turning in the cabinet, her heart suddenly shook, her hand unconsciously touched her chest, and her eyes turned cold - perhaps, the string of red sandalwood Buddha beads she had always carried on her body was the real purpose of the person who took her package!

However, if this person's purpose is the Buddha beads on her body, why did she take away what Lou Yue gave her?

The more she thought about it, the more confused and confused Su Liuying's heart became...... Early the next morning, after Su Liuying left the palace, she did not go directly to the criminal department, but moved to the most prosperous long street in the capital.

She walked into a jewelry shop and asked if there were any Buddhist beads made of rosewood, and the shopkeeper shook his head regretfully. Even going to a few houses was the same result, Su Liuying hesitated - could it be that she wanted to take out the real Buddha beads?

However, when she thought of the word 'Joan' on the Buddha's head, her heart suddenly tightened, no matter whether it had anything to do with A-Niang or not, she was unwilling to take it out to anyone again...... However, if she can't find the same red sandalwood beads, how can she carry out the following plan?

Lou Yue came to the Criminal Department early in the morning, and was used to searching for that familiar figure, but early in the morning passed, and he never saw Su Liuying's figure.

Thinking of the heartless words she said to herself yesterday, Lou Yue wanted to cut off all his thoughts about her, ignore her, and ignore her.

However, no amount of reason could compete with his heart, and after not seeing her for a long time, he couldn't help but ask Nanshan,

"What about her?" Nanshan scratched his head and said

"I don't know, I asked around, and no one has seen her today." Hearing this, Lou Yue's eyes sank, and she secretly thought in her heart that she must not want to see herself again, so she did not come to the Criminal Department again.

The sadness in his heart is unspeakable, but he said indifferently on his face

"It's good that there is destined to be a fierce battle here today, and she is not here - I am relieved." With that, he raised his head again and said solemnly

"Everything can be arranged?" Nanshan said with a solemn face

"Everything has been arranged according to the master's arrangement." After searching for a whole day, I finally bought a string of similar Buddhist beads before dark.

Although it is not rosewood, but the appearance is very similar, Su Liuying thought, those assassins just listened to the order to retrieve the red sandalwood Buddha beads, but what the real beads look like, I am afraid that these assassins do not know, hoping to fool this string of fakes.

Just about to return to the Criminal Department with the Buddhist beads that he had bought with great difficulty, there was a sudden chaos on the street, and an official in the official uniform of the Criminal Department rode past on horseback, shouting along the way

"If a felony escapes, the criminal department has an order to close the nine doors." Cat flutter Chinese
