Chapter 34: Destruction of Evidence
Because the study is like a mansion, with a courtyard and a back garden, and the gate is guarded, fortunately, he took Mo Xichen sensibly to avoid those people.
Lin Xueqi gently opened the door of the study, trying not to make a sound, and Mo Xichen followed her and walked in.
The study is very bright, and the things are neatly arranged, so that people can clearly see at a glance which things are placed where, but Lin Xueqi also noticed one thing: the windows are locked.
Lin Xueqi's gaze skimmed over the shelves where the treasures were placed, the bookshelf where the books were placed, and finally locked on the desk used by the emperor's office.
She walked to the table, looked through the books, and found that the handwriting marked on these books was not written by the emperor himself, but by the emperor. And this handwriting is the opposite, it looks like a woman's handwriting!
"Mo Xichen, come and take a look." Lin Xueqi greeted Mo Xichen who was standing on the side, after all, Mo Xichen was more familiar with the palace than her, and he was afraid that he would recognize this word.
Mo Xichen heard Lin Xueqi's voice, walked towards her, and saw where she pointed Qianqianyu, he frowned slightly, "The handwriting is very familiar." ”
Lin Xueqi was overjoyed in her heart, "Then think about it carefully." ”
Seeing her happy appearance, Mo Xichen recalled the owner of this handwriting, and then replied, "It's the handwriting of the eldest princess." He replied in the affirmative.
Eldest Princess, this is her mother's handwriting! Presumably, these books are the childhood memories of the emperor and her mother, so she was reluctant to throw them away.
She looked through some of them, found that there was still the emperor's handwriting in it, and gave a more detailed answer, and at the end of the book, the emperor also wrote a sentence: Sister Huang, are you okay?
Obviously, the emperor misses her mother very much, but as the closest person to her mother, Lin Xueqi cannot rule out that the death of her mother and father has nothing to do with him.
Lin Xueqi put down the book, she rummaged through the bookcases, and found a piece of paper, which was full of calming herbs.
Why did the emperor consume this? Lin Xueqi's heart had doubts.
She glanced at the names of the herbs and silently memorized them in her mind. Fortunately, God gave her a mind that she could never forget, so that she could record such an important clue.
Calming medicine is a good medicine that can help sleep and improve sleep, it is not strange that the emperor is busy with official business day and night, but what if he eats this, there is another hidden reason?
She put the paper back in place, then looked at the bookshelf, looked at the rows of books, and reached out and touched them one by one, some of them were about politics and military, some about medicine.
She pulled out one of the medicine books and dropped a booklet. She crouched down and picked it up, and when she turned the pages, she couldn't turn them down.
It was a diary in which he recorded something, but he hadn't continued to write it down since five years ago.
It seemed to be written about inconsequential things, but her instincts told her that this diary contained a secret, a little-known secret.
Each piece of paper was only written on one side, and the second half was not written, she stretched out her fingers to caress the paper that was strong through the back of the paper, feeling something strange, she turned her head and asked Mo Xichen, "Is there a way to hide the handwriting here?" ”
Mo Xichen nodded, "Write with rice water, after drying, it will be the same as white paper, and when you want to read it, you can directly paint it with iodine wine, and the handwriting can come out." ”
"Is there iodine?" Lin Xueqi asked. Iodine wine is a disinfectant preservative used for skin infection and disinfection, it is a medicine, she did not expect, iodine wine can also make the handwriting visible.
Mo Xichen shook his head, "Iodine wine is generally on the imperial doctor's side, how can there be in the emperor's study?" When Lin Xueqi heard this, his face was a little displeased, "But this king does have a bottle, because this king sometimes goes out to fight, he gave it to this king." ”
When Mo Xichen said he was referring to the emperor.
"Did you bring it with you now?" Lin Xueqi was overjoyed in her heart, thinking of what kind of gold sore medicine and burn medicine Mo Xichen always brought a few times ago, this time she should also bring an iodine bar?
"Nope." Mo Xichen decisively vetoed.
The smile on Lin Xueqi's face faded, "Forget it, it's not too late to come and see it another day." So saying, she put the pamphlet back in its place, for if it was taken away, the Emperor would find suspicious, and she was the first to suspect it, and she did not want to take the risk.
Lin Xueqi turned her gaze to the place where the treasures were placed, looking at those exquisite and well-made treasures, she squinted her eyes slightly, looking for something suspicious.
The TV is placed like this, there is a mechanism that can open a secret room, and what is placed in the secret room is a little-known secret. But the people who hide these are the great officials and the lords of a nation.
So she was also wondering, is there a hidden secret room in this study? Inside are the evidence of the death of the mother and father?
This is also her conjecture, and she doesn't know if there is one, but she still has to try to know the truth.
"Your Majesty." The voice of the guard sounded outside, and Lin Xueqi was shocked in his heart: Why didn't this emperor attend the wedding banquet and leave so early? She's not done searching yet!
Mo Xichen became serious, looked around, and thought of a solution. The windows of the study were locked, and the emperor must have been afraid that someone would come in and search for that person to escape through the window, so he locked the window when he left.
Lin Xueqi also became serious, she couldn't be discovered by the emperor, otherwise it would be over, and she wouldn't want to avenge her parents in this life!
"Well, is there an anomaly?" The Emperor asked outside.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal." The guard replied outside, and then opened the door, and the Emperor stepped in, walking towards the study door.
Mo Xichen picked up Lin Xueqi by the waist, jumped up, and stood firmly on the beam. Lin Xueqi didn't know how to work lightly, so he had to hold on tightly to the placket of Mo Xichen's chest to prevent himself from falling.
'Squeak', the door of the study was pushed open, and as soon as the emperor came in, he looked around, and found that there was indeed no abnormality, so he sat on the chair, looked at a few books in front of him, and rubbed: "Imperial sister...... Are you alright? His head was lowered, so Lin Xueqi couldn't see the emperor's expression at this time.
"Sister Huang, have you seen it? The current Mo Dynasty is really prosperous, no worse than when his father was alive. The Emperor sighed. Then he walked to the bookshelf and took out the booklet, "You have been with me for many years, and today you are going to say goodbye." ”
So saying, he took out the brazier, took the oil lamp on the table, dyed the booklet with diesel, lit a fire, and started a fire.
Lin Xueqi's eyes widened, and she wanted to go down to rescue her, but she was firmly imprisoned by Mo Xichen, making her unable to move, and covering her mouth.
The emperor looked at the raging fire, opened the window, the wind blew in, and the fire became bigger, and the emperor went out and closed the door.
As soon as he saw that the emperor was gone, Lin Xueqi broke free of Mo Xichen's hand and jumped down directly, watching the fire burning, Lin Xueqi didn't care about anything else, stepped on the brazier with one foot, made the fire smaller, and continued to step on it, and the fire was extinguished.
She crouched down, picked up some pieces of paper, and picked out what she could read. Seeing that her hands were already dark, Lin Xueqi didn't pay much attention to it.
Still standing in Fang Liang Mo Xichen watching Lin Xueqi work so hard, he also asked himself: A woman is working so hard to find the real murderer, why should he sit still and wait for a man to die? Obviously, her martial arts are not the best, but she is good at dancing and playing the piano, as well as her medical skills. And he is the terrifying Nine Princes with strong martial arts, how can he be more indecisive than a woman at a critical moment?
In fact, Mo Xichen is also thinking about Lin Xueqi, he is not indecisive, but finally knows how to think about her future life for others.
"This emperor!" Lin Xueqi slammed her fist on the ground, her eyes were full of anger, she originally had some respect for him, not only because he was the lord of a country, but also because she was her own uncle, but now it seems that she only dislikes him! Destroy this important clue, and she doesn't know how long it will take to find the murderer!
Mo Xichen jumped down, came to Lin Xueqi's side, raised her hand, and looked at the already somewhat broken skin, he couldn't help but feel faintly distressed.
He comforted: "The emperor also has brains, he will not leave such important evidence of guilt, presumably to hide something." Go back now and come back later. ”
Lin Xueqi had no choice but to nod, the evidence had been destroyed, what was the use of staying here?
She put those small pieces of paper into her sleeves, wiped away the black fist marks left by the angry smashing on the ground, and then stood up, Mo Xichen directly grabbed her waist, went out of the window, and rushed towards Songxi Yuan with light steps.

At this time, the wedding banquet was already very chaotic, the emperor went back to the study halfway, and the groom pulled the bride into the cave room, and they were still waiting here to eat and drink?
Just when they wanted to leave, the emperor suddenly came, and his hearty laughter made everyone stop, "Don't go, everyone, eat some more, it's rare for the six princes to get married, how can they quit halfway?" He said it nicely, but the crowd could still hear what he was saying.
So I had to continue to eat and drink, and talk about some things, such as ...... The Nine Princes and the Nine Princesses wore white clothes to attend today.
The so-called bride Lin Qingwan in the cave room sat in the corner of the bed, and the groom Mo Yi drank water calmly on the seat, "Today...... Prince Ben's Nine Emperor Brothers and his princess attended in white, which really shocked Prince Ben. ”
Lin Qingwan didn't answer, she just sat there quietly, looking at her fingers in a daze.
"You say, how should the prince repay him? The Nine Emperor Brothers' actions are still so surprising. As soon as this sentence came out, the quiet Lin Qingwan's delicate body trembled, and her lips turned white.
"Forget it, let's see what happens in the future. How to say that the Nine Emperor Brothers are also heroes of the Mo Dynasty. Mo Yi smiled and took a sip of tea, but this smile was a little weird.
"Your eldest sister is also so surprising." Mo Yi's gaze looked at Lin Qingwan.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Lin Xueqi is not my sister!" Lin Qingwan raised her head and anxiously argued.
Mo Yi seemed to suddenly realize, "It seems to be so." But she's funny. As he spoke, he smiled lightly.
