Chapter 35: Secret Force
As soon as she returned to Songxi Garden, Lin Xueqi broke away from Mo Xichen's arms and hurriedly ran into her room, and Mo Xichen also followed.
Lin Xueqi stretched out his hand towards Mo Xichen, Mo Xichen was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, and Yixuan appeared beside him waiting to be called, "Go and bring the iodine wine." ”
Iodine wine is a medicine and something that can make invisible words visible, and it is also something that Lin Xueqi urgently needs now.
Seeing that Mo Xichen understood what she meant, Lin Xueqi didn't say anything, and took out the recently collected evidence from the drawer of the table: the folding fan, Li Bing's broken tongue, the silver needle that made Shuyi die, and the current diary shredded paper.
Yixuan came back not long after he went out, he put the iodine wine on the table in front of Lin Xueqi, and then retreated again.
Lin Xueqi picked up a brush, picked up the iodine wine again, opened the lid, dipped it a little, laid the white paper flat, and gently painted it on the paper, and soon, the font appeared on it.
She scribbled each piece of paper one by one, and those hidden selves emerged, but unfortunately some of them were intermittent.
"Sister Huang...... The country is prosperous and prosperous...... Father...... The throne was given to ...... Now...... Sister Huang, can you see ......" After Lin Xueqi finished reading the pieces of paper one by one, he angrily threw them on the table.
"There is so little information!" Lin Xueqi frowned, looking at the evidence in front of her, she couldn't help but have a headache.
Now she came up with a few clues: 1. He is a man, because only a man has enough strength to kill with a single shot, and the shoe mark he left last time.
2. He will use poison. Because Li Bing died of poisoning, and Mo Xichen was also poisoned.
3. He is familiar with the royal palace. If he can successfully find that dungeon, it shows that he is familiar with the palace, so he should be a person in the palace.
4. He can fold a fan. This characteristic is only Mo Yi, because he is a person from the palace and is familiar with the terrain of the palace, but he does not meet points 1 and 2. Because he is soft and weak, he is not good at using poison.
5. That person's martial arts are not low. The last time she attacked her in that garden, she was able to escape without any problems, proves this point.
Point 6, the last and most important point, is that the person behind the scenes is by no means alone! The emperor was already counted, because he was in a hurry to destroy the evidence of the crime, as well as those doubts in his study. The second suspect is Mo Yi, because he uses a folding fan, and he is familiar with the terrain of the palace, and she has not given a correct explanation for other points.
Lin Xueqi wrote these on the paper, so as not to forget it later, Mo Xichen stepped forward and took away the paper, Lin Xueqi also acquiesced to him to take it, she sat opposite Mo Xichen, looking at him.
"The analysis is very reasonable." Mo Xichen quickly glanced at it and nodded, he was very satisfied with those views.
"But there's very little information. Going again tonight? Lin Xueqi asked Mo Xichen for his opinion.
The defense at night will definitely be much stronger than in the morning, because in the morning the emperor will be in the study, and no one will go, and in the evening the emperor will go back to his mansion, and he will definitely take stricter anti-theft measures in the study, so she needs Mo Xichen to go with her.
Mo Xichen shook his head, "No, there is a feast in the palace tonight." We had to attend, but not in white again this time because ...... That's when people from neighboring countries came to visit. ”
"People from neighboring countries? It's a coincidence. Lin Xueqi also knew that tonight's plan was going to be ruined, but he wasn't much frustrated.
There is a good saying: "When a soldier comes, he will block the water and cover the earth." She wanted to see what the people from the neighboring country were doing.
As long as it doesn't disrupt her plans, it's okay to do anything.
Lin Xueqi changed into a blue light coat and covered a veil. After today's incident, I am afraid that the capital knows that she and Mo Xichen are wearing dejected white clothes to attend the wedding banquet, in order not to be embarrassed, and for the sake of planning, she should change her clothes and wear a veil before going.
"Where is the princess going?" Mo Xichen looked at Lin Xueqi, who was about to go out, and asked.
"Something. Lord Mo just needs to know that everything I do is for you and me. With that, Lin Xueqi walked out, leaving a resolute back to Mo Xichen.
*
The capital is still as lively as ever, not as lifeless as Songkeyuan is today. So Lin Xueqi's body and mind were quickly relaxed.
She came to the original inn, ordered a bowl of rice wine again, and listened to the storyteller not far away.
Only in this way did she feel that she was not a princess living in the palace at this time who wanted revenge, but also a carefree ordinary person, but this may not be realized.
"Have you heard? Today is the wedding banquet between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Miss of the Lin Mansion, but the Nine Princes and the Nine Princesses are all dressed in white! The storyteller exaggeratedly, Lin Xueqi thought: If this storyteller was born in modern times, he would definitely become a respected teacher. This acting is amazing!
"Dressed in white? That's disrespectful! But who are the two of them, one is the terrifying Nine Princes of God Killing, the other is Wu Qi and Qin Qi, her mother is still the eldest princess of the year, they are really a perfect match together! The other person chimed in, revealing the identities of Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen.
Lin Xueqi calmly drank the tea used for entertainment on the table, looked at them and listened to their conversation quietly, and greeted their eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart: Perfect match for your mother! Which dog's eye can see it?! Don't you see that she doesn't agree with him? Yet she didn't say it.
Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a certain place, and she saw that the poor people who were originally poor people in the slums had changed into new clothes and pulled their children to play in some places, and the bosses did not exclude them, but greeted them with smiling faces.
It seems that I have been doing well recently, and I am really grateful to Mo Xichen. Lin Xueqi smiled with relief.
"Mother, is that the Ninth Princess?" A childish child's voice made Lin Xueqi's delicate body tremble, and seeing that the others were attracted by this child's voice Looking this way, her face was calm, and she bought a string of sugar gourds and brought it to him, "Little friend, you can't eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense, how can I be the ninth princess?" ”
If you are recognized, it will be over! I wanted to scatter my heart in the capital, if I was recognized...... She didn't want to be treated like a zoo creature.
So, children, don't say any more, let my sister and I take a quiet break!
"It turned out to be a mistake." He may have heard Lin Xueqi's heart, took the sugar gourd and ate it, and didn't say Lin Xueqi's true identity anymore.
But the child is so good at bribing the adults on the side, the child's mother looked at Lin Xueqi up and down, and didn't say anything in the end, but Lin Xueqi knew that she must have guessed who she was, because her outfit had not changed at all from the clothes she wore when she entered the alley.
But fortunately, the mother was wise and knew that Lin Xueqi didn't want her child to say it, so she didn't say it and went back with her child.
Lin Xueqi watched the mother and son go back, and when they returned to the inn, the rice wine was also served. The storyteller on the side glanced at Lin Xueqi, as if he was thinking about whether what the kid said was true or false.
"Sir, go on. Children's words are unscrupulous, and children's words sometimes can't be believed, and sir, do you think the Nine Princesses will come out now? Lin Xueqi smiled and opened her eyes and said nonsense.
The storyteller thought about it, but felt that it was not very possible, so he let down his guard and continued to exaggerate.
Because it was the wedding banquet of the crown prince Mo Yi and Lin Qingwan, the storyteller would definitely think that Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen didn't have time to come here for the wedding banquet, but what he didn't expect was that he was just the opposite.
"Hear, the emperor has a secret army!" The storyteller lowered his voice, looking very mysterious.
Lin Xueqi couldn't help but come over and wait for his next step.
It's a surprise every time I come. Is the secret army the one that killed the parents back then? She remembered that it was a sunny day, but the bright red blood still stung her eyes.
"This army is very mysterious, I only know, every soldier in this army has very good martial arts!" Mr. Storyteller touched his non-existent beard with an unfathomable look.
"Where did you hear that?" Lin Xueqi asked. This is the answer she wants to know the most, knowing that the eldest princess was killed by the emperor back then, and now knowing that the emperor has an elite army, where did he know all this.
"Heaven must not be divulged." The storyteller ignored Lin Xueqi's question and continued to talk about some things.
Lin Xueqi pursed her lips, but in order to get more information, she had to continue listening, "This secret force is very hidden, it generally does not come out, and it does not protect the palace, and it will only come out to carry out tasks when necessary." ”
Hearing this, the big stone hanging in Lin Xueqi's heart was put down, she just thought that if this unit was hiding in the shadows, then the emperor would definitely know about her and Mo Xichen's secret break-in, but God still favored her, and the emperor didn't expect that someone would enter his study.
But he only came out to carry out the mission when necessary, and did he do it five years ago? Emperor, did he use that secret army to kill her father and mother?
She didn't know, she wanted to know, but now that she learned the news, she had to beware of the emperor, because she didn't know when the emperor would send them a task, and once they were dispatched, I was afraid that there would be another bloody storm!
Abruptly, the storyteller waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, you want to know other things, come back later." As he spoke, he packed his things and prepared to leave.
Lin Xueqi went back to the inn and paid for the wine, wanting to go back to the palace in a circle, but was stopped, "Girl, slow down." ”
She looked back and saw the storyteller walk up to her, crouch down, whisper a word in her ear, and left, heading towards the Beijing Gate.
Lin Xueqi froze in place, and others asked her what Mr. Storyteller had told her, but Lin Xueqi smiled and said nothing, and continued to return to the palace according to the original method.
