12. Put it to death
said that it was to follow the old routine, but in fact, it was just that Li Xian was unwilling to wade into this troubled water, if this matter was not handled well, the Empress Wu would inevitably be furious, and if it was handled too well, it was inevitable that the prince would be careful.
You'an lowered his head and groaned, and suddenly bowed to Li Xian: "Your Highness, please forgive your servant for daring to ask Your Highness a question." Does Your Highness want to dispose of one or two people at will and cover up the matter, or does he really want to catch someone peeking at the secret documents? ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone present showed a look of surprise. Although the queen of heaven is not in the palace at the moment, He Jinshu represents the authority of the queen of heaven, Li Xian can only say: "The secret matter of voyeurism is very important, if someone wants to use this to spy on their intentions and do what they like, it is fine, in case it is a spy bought by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences are unimaginable." Since the matter is in front of Lone, Lone naturally wants to try his best to find the real culprit. ”
You'an expected that he would have to say this, and went on to say, "In that case, Your Highness should allow your servant to defend herself." If His Highness needs the life of the servant to stabilize people's hearts and end this matter, then the servant is at his disposal. But if His Highness really wants to find out the real culprit, then even if there is only suspicion, he should put the servant back unharmed, pretend that nothing happened, and induce the real murderer to commit the crime again. Otherwise, it is not a pity for the servant to die a cheap life, but the result left behind is endless trouble. ”
This was said very boldly, and even He Jinshu couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Li Xian didn't expect that he would be gagged by a little palace maid, he has always cherished his reputation, so he had to follow You'an's meaning and let her continue.
You'an secretly glanced at Li Dan and said, "Your Highness, someone came to Xinlan Courtyard today to spread the word, saying that His Royal Highness King Xiang has something to be sewn up, and he asked his servant to come over." The maidservant waited for a while in the outer hall of the Yude Palace, and was taken to the transcription room to wait, and then these people arrived one after another. ”
Li Xian and He Jinshu's eyes both looked at Li Dan, Li Dan calmly spoke, like a mist under the swaying lights: "Gu is indeed looking for someone to sew and mend it today, but the sixth brother has a fox fur that was scratched when he was riding a horse at night." However, later, the red mud around the lonely side said that there was an embroidery girl who was very famous over there, so it was better to try it over there, it was before and after dinner, and now there are also an hour or two, He Shanggong can call the red mud to ask. ”
Ask the ghost! Red Clay is his person at all, and it is not up to him to say anything.
Li Xian nodded slightly: "There is such a thing, that fox fur is a tribute from the father to Lone, and Lone naturally has to cherish it." ”
But You'an's life is now hanging in the hands of others, so he can only say in a good voice: "Your Highness, when I left from the Yude Palace, a sister showed me the way, saying that I was waiting here, why don't you ask this sister." ”
Li Dan still looked careless about everything, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Which one? ”
"It's a ......" As soon as You'an spoke, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, the palace maid who served in the inner hall, except for the special face like red clay, the usual clothes, hair accessories, and even makeup were exactly the same, and the palace maid looked mediocre, and she couldn't say what characteristics she had for a while.
The palace maid sent messages and ran errands for Li Dan, and she should be Li Dan's person. You'an subconsciously glanced at the guard kneeling on the side, since he entered the Yude Palace, he hadn't said a word, connecting all the details of tonight, and a thought suddenly sprung up in his heart, this guard with ridiculous words is also Li Dan's person!
If His Royal Highness the dignified Prime Minister set up such an exquisite bureau in order to frame her, a little palace maid who had just come out of the court, it would be too high to think of herself.
She silently recalled all the details she could remember, and suddenly remembered that when the guard entered the transcription room, he had made a gesture of reaching into his arms to pick something out, only to be interrupted by the sudden intruder. Everything was based on speculation, and she intuitively felt that the guard might have been sent by Li Dan to find something to deliver, and the real purpose could not be told truthfully, so she temporarily framed herself for a tryst with him.
After figuring out the cause and effect, it is not difficult to understand all the questions, the intimate act that suddenly came in the outer hall during dinner was that Li Dan deliberately wanted people to see it, and he had a private message to explain to this little palace maid, and those traitors hiding in the shadows would naturally be moved. You'an pinched his fingers tightly, being used as bait, the feeling of being placed on the hook is really bad, the moment the fish opens its mouth and takes the bait, the bait on the hook should also be shattered.
But she's the bait, so she shouldn't die obediently......
