Although this aroma is extremely light, it seems to be nothing, but it makes Shen Qianmo, who has always had a keen sense of smell, feel familiar. She picked up the black cloth and put it in front of her nose to smell it carefully.

That's right, the aroma comes from this strip of cloth. And this aroma must have smelled somewhere itself.

She's always sensitive to smells and can't go wrong. She is fully confident in this.

Her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed, a habitual movement she had when she was thinking.

Lu Ziqing felt that he must have been tired from working overtime for days, and when he saw Shen Qianmo's frowning eyebrows, he had an urge to reach out and smooth them out.

Just as he was trying his best to control his abnormal impulse, Shen Qianmo suddenly shouted as if he had an epiphany: "I know!" ”

Lu Ziqing was startled, and hurriedly shook his heart, and asked calmly, "What did Princess Xuan find?" ”

Looking at Shen Qianmo's eyes shining and her pretty face shining at this time, Lu Ziqing felt that her heart was beating faster and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Shen Qianmo naturally didn't know Lu Ziqing's thoughts, she was worried about her discovery.

How many people in the harem will be implicated in this discovery, and what kind of impact it will have on the palace, she really has no bottom.

But as a professional forensic doctor, all she has to do is speak for the deceased, and any discovery is an important clue, and there must be no concealment.

Due to the importance of the matter, it was inevitable that many people would leak the news, Shen Qianmo approached Lu Ziqing's ear and said softly: "The fragrance on this cloth strip is the same as the fragrance on Concubine Li's body. ”

The soft voice sounded in his ears, and the faint fragrance floated into his nose, Lu Ziqing only felt a "boom", his qi and blood surged, and even the roots of his ears were hot.

He swore that he had really used his best self-control to resist this inadvertent temptation. But his hand still wanted to wrap his arms around Shen Qianmo's waist uncontrollably.

"Mo'er!"

At this moment, a low cry came from not far away, with obvious displeasure, as if trying to suppress anger.

It's the voice of King Xuan!

Lu Ziqing's face turned pale, and he quietly put down his hands, clenched his hands into fists instead, and hid them in the wide sleeve robe of the official uniform to hide his gaffe.

Shen Qianmo was overjoyed when she heard this familiar voice, and looked back at where the voice came from.

A man in a dark robe, cold as jade, arrogant and lonely but domineering, sat in a wheelchair, glaring at her angrily, with a dark face.

What's wrong with this guy? Shen Qianmo looked at him with an awkward look, he really couldn't laugh or cry, inexplicable.

Due to the salvage of the body, the footprints at the scene were messy, and there was no need for rubbing. The Imperial Guards carried out a comprehensive salvage and search of the lotus pond and its vicinity, and did not find the head of the deceased. The body has also been transported to the Criminal Department, and the next step is to perform an autopsy.

The on-site investigation can be said to be basically completed, so Shen Qianmo proposed to Lu Ziqing, "Lord Lu, I've seen almost everything here, can we go?" ”

"Of course, Princess Xuan, please." Fortunately, Lu Ziqing has excellent self-control, he tried hard to regulate his emotions, and he has basically returned to normal.

Shen Qianmo nodded, took the lead in the direction where Meng Yuanheng was, and after standing still in front of him, he squatted down to be at eye level with him.

Seeing that his handsome face was tense, as if he was angry, Shen Qianmo raised her hand to cover his hand holding the wheelchair, her hands were as cold as ever, she rubbed the back of his hand a few times with some distress, and said helplessly: "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Yuanheng was really angry. He was angry with himself for being useless, and he involved her in the mess around him again and again.

He will never forget the scene in the cave of the Wuji Sect, when she was so painful that she could harm herself, and when he found her, she trusted her wholeheartedly and whispered "Take me away". He always brought her dangers of one kind or another, but she always believed in him, followed him, comforted him, and helped him.

He had vowed to protect her well in the future, and not to put her in the slightest danger. But now, he has lost some confidence, and he doesn't know if he still has this qualification.

Because, there are some things that even he himself doesn't know how to face.

For her, whether it is Feng Ze or Lu Ziqing, it seems that they are a better choice than herself.

But he couldn't, no matter what, he couldn't let her go. Because of the days without Mo'er's company, he couldn't live at all.

Although he saw King Xuan's angry face, Lu Ziqing could only step forward and salute. "Xiaguan Lu Ziqing has seen Lord Xuan."

Meng Yuanheng glared at him with a cold look in his eyes. "Lord Lu, you'd better remember your own identity."

Hmph, don't think he can't see it, when Mo'er talked to him just now, he was obviously distracted.

The moment he saw Shen Qianmo and Lu Ziqing whispering in his ear, he seemed to have an urge to kill. If he hadn't believed Mo'er, he would have already crushed Lu Ziqing's bones at this moment.

Immediately, he handed Shen Qianmo a complaining look. Mo'er, how can you get so close to other men, it's easy for them to think about it.

This guy really has the talent to change his face in an instant, Shen Qianmo secretly laughed. It's just that he saw that he was quite kind to Lu Ziqing, why did he suddenly change his face today.

Meng Tianluo approached at this time, and said to Meng Yuanheng with a smile on his face: "King Xuan really looks at the future princess very closely, so he can't rest assured that he will follow." It's no wonder that the future Princess Xuan is calm and wise, courageous, and indeed a rare strange woman, even this king can't help but be moved, haha......"

Shen Qianmo frowned. How can this Meng Tianluo be so frivolous!

Seeing that Meng Yuanheng's eyes darkened, as if she was about to turn her face on the spot, she patted the back of his hand, shook her head lightly at him, stood up and smiled coldly at Meng Tianluo's rampant smile. "King Luo has won the prize, but it is better than those who run away when they see the corpse."

When Meng Tianluo heard this, his face, which was still laughing just now, instantly became gloomy. This was a mockery of his lack of daring to see the headless female corpse just now. He stared at Shen Qianmo fiercely, his eyes spewing with rage, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.

No one has ever dared to talk to him like that, and no one has ever looked down on him. This woman, he will regret what she said today.

On the carriage to the Criminal Department, Meng Yuanheng hugged Shen Qianmo tightly in his arms, as if in this way, he would feel a little better about his coldness and emptiness for so many days.

"Ah Heng, are you hiding something from me?" Almost out of breath after being hugged, Shen Qianmo moved in his arms uncomfortably, and asked uneasily.

This guy hasn't been normal since he entered the palace that day.

Meng Yuanheng squeezed out a very bitter smile above her head. He knew that Shen Qianmo didn't like that he had something to hide from her. On that day, he remembered that she had said on the boat that two people who loved each other should be honest with each other.

But how did he talk about this matter?

So he could only shake his head and choose to be silent.

Shen Qianmo saw that he didn't want to say it, and he didn't force it. He didn't say it, there was always a reason, she knew that Meng Yuanheng was not an indiscriminate person.

"By the way, Ah Heng, did you know Concubine Li before?" Shen Qianmo was thinking about the case in her heart, and suddenly remembered this matter, so she raised her head and asked him.

Meng Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were dazed for a moment. "Concubine Li, who?"

Shen Qianmo glanced at him, "Concubine Li is the most favored concubine by the emperor now, don't you know?" ”

The emperor's favorite concubine, he knows what to do, he doesn't even know what Concubine Li looks like. Meng Yuanheng looked at her innocently.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, it seemed that Meng Yuanheng did not know Concubine Li, but Shen Qianmo was sure that she would not be mistaken, Concubine Li's feelings about Meng Yuanheng were different. Then it's a one-sided problem for Concubine Li.

Seeing Shen Qianmo frowning again and falling into deep thought, Meng Yuanheng was dissatisfied with her neglecting herself, raised her hand to stroke her frowning eyebrows, and said coquettishly: "Mo'er, talk to me." ”

Seeing him like this, Shen Qianmo couldn't help laughing. "Meng Yuanheng, how old are you?"

Meng Yuanhengjun's face flushed, and he remembered the scene where she and Lu Ziqing were whispering in her ear just now, and her heart was sour, and she hugged her and said in a muffled voice: "Stay away from Lu Ziqing in the future." ”

It turns out that this guy is jealous! Thinking of his angry appearance in the lotus pond just now, Shen Qianmo curled the corners of his mouth. No wonder he kept a stinky face towards Lu Ziqing just now.

It's just her and Lu Ziqing? It's all about it. You're so jealous too. Shen Qianmo deliberately made a serious face and said: "What should I do, wait a minute to dissect the corpse, I still have to share a room with him, and I like to conduct autopsies and investigate cases, and I may often go in and out of the criminal department in the future to work with him, I can't stay away from him." ”

She will not be like the daughter here, nesting in her own courtyard all day long, doing butterfly fluttering and flower appreciation, sad spring and autumn, chanting poetry and painting, dressing up and other meaningless things for her.

She has her own life plan, and in this plan, she is bound to deal with many people, including Lu Ziqing.

It is already a sure thing that Lu Ziqing will become the next secretary of the Criminal Department, and she will continue to investigate the case and perform the autopsy and give full play to her expertise, which is inseparable from his support.

When Meng Yuanheng heard her words, his face was lost and gloomy, as if his whole person was cold.

Shen Qianmo saw that he was eating, chuckled, decided not to tease him anymore, leaned up and kissed him on the face, and said softly: "Don't worry, he and I are only colleagues at most, what I like is you." ”

Hearing her say "What I like is you", Meng Yuanheng finally showed the most heartfelt smile in the past two days. He grabbed Shen Qianmo's shoulders tightly, his eyes shone with a scorching light, it was a tender and sweet feeling that seemed to melt everything, and Shen Qianmo's heart trembled when he saw it.

"Mo'er." With a soft call, his voice was still low and hoarse, and it was so sexy in Shen Qianmo's ears. She looked at him as gently as water, which made Meng Yuanheng can't help but bow her head and kiss her lips tossing and turning.
