After a while, I saw a good doctor with a goatee, carrying a medicine box, running over with a sweaty head.

He didn't dare to slack off, bowed to King Heng and Princess Heng, and hurried to Liu Xu's side to treat him.

After some looking, hearing and asking, the good doctor was kneeling on the ground to report: "Back to the prince and princess, Liu Xu's ears and Adam's apple have been damaged to varying degrees. That is, you can't speak, and you can't hear anyone say. ”

King Heng was shocked: "How can it be so serious? ”

The good doctor replied, "He did it because he had eaten a poison called Rodanwort." ”

King Heng was depressed: "If you take special medicine, you should not be able to speak, how can you not hear it with your ears?" ”

The good doctor thought about it for a moment and replied, "This ...... Weichen had just checked Liu Xu's ears, and there was a small amount of black dust left on the side of his ears, and the smell was indeed the smell of rodangrass.

Obviously, it was the murderer who blew the fine powder of rodan grass into Liu Xu's ear with a straw, which caused his ear to be deaf. ”

The housekeeper was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground: "Back to the prince and princess, when the old slave caught Liu Xu last night, he was still fine, and he didn't see anything wrong."

In this way, the old slave really doesn't know, maybe Liu Xu knows that he is guilty and that it is not impossible for him to harm himself in prison.

For this consequence, the old slave is blamed for not being strict in his care, and he cannot atone for his sins in death, so please punish the prince and the princess. ”

King Heng was full of suspicion and asked the housekeeper: "Isn't it because you tortured Liu that he looks like this?" ”

The housekeeper panicked: "Lord Wang, the old slave has been wronged, and he has never used any means against Liu Xu." If the prince doesn't believe it, he can ask the five guards who are guarding Liu Xu. ”

It didn't take long for the five guards who were guarding Liu Xu to be brought over and knelt on the ground one by one.

The guard kneeling at the front reported: "Returning to the prince and princess, the housekeeper has always been very merciful, and indeed never let us use the slightest punishment, and let the good doctor bandage Liu Xu's dog bite injury."

Originally, the five of us were arranged by the housekeeper to take turns to take care of Liu Xu, but we were worried that Liu Xu was cunning, so we discussed taking care of it together. In the intervening time, I have never seen anyone approach Liu Xu, please ask the prince and princess to take a look. ”

"Please see the princess." The other four guards followed.

"Okay, this king knows, you all stand down." King Heng waved away from everyone, and went to rest with the princess, while he himself went to the study.

……

In the study, General Wang, the guard with a long sword in his hand, walked to the hall from the outside and bowed: "Back to the prince, my subordinates have secretly checked the other patrolling guards, and they all testified.

At the beginning, the housekeeper left after sending Liu Xu to the dungeon of the palace with the guards. They could faintly hear the shouts of the five guards gambling money. ”

King Heng was angry from his heart: "Drinking, this king is to let them take care of the prisoners, how dare they gamble money, will General Wang think that people with a heart take advantage of this gap to sneak into the dungeon and do something to Liu Xu?" ”

General Wang nodded: "The thoughts of his subordinates coincide with the thoughts of the prince. By the way, the people sent by his subordinates have already checked Liu Xu's home, and his mother does have a little problem with her health, but it is not as bad as Liu Xu said. ”

King Heng pondered: "This shows that Liu Xu's attempt is extraordinary, judging from the extent of his injury, he is just a pawn who makes wedding dresses for others, and the real mastermind is still hiding in the shadows."

However, this king doesn't understand one thing, doesn't the person who is hidden in the shadows just want to get that piece of jade Ruyi, since he has succeeded, why bother to make such a heavy move to Liu? ”

"The subordinates are also puzzled, since that person wants to shut up Liu Xu, wouldn't it be more direct to kill him, but just let him not speak or listen, it's too unbelievable."

"Could it be that he is someone close to us, in case Liu Xu confesses his identity, will be like this?"

Perhaps, as the prince said, Liu Xu is illiterate, he can't hear what others ask him, and he can't reveal any favorable clues to others.

However, he had eyes and could point to the man...... The matter is getting more and more confusing. ”

King Heng slapped the table heavily and bit his lip fiercely: "This matter is by no means a trivial matter, General Wang's familiarity with the palace is no less than that of this king, it is best to personally take someone to check all parts of the palace, whether there are any missing objects, or something abnormal."

In addition, you have to try to find out the man's thoughts, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can't let go of any possible place. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" General Wang bowed, took the long sword in his hand, turned around and left.

Looking at the figure of General Wang walking away, King Heng sat on the chair weakly and said to himself: "Is he really here?" ”

After a long time, King Heng turned back from deep thought and dragged his tired body out of the study.

……

Behind the wooden frame in the study, there were two long sighs, it was none other than Liu Ling and Tian Xinyuan.

The housekeeper asked the two of them to come out to find Yu Ruyi, which just gave them a chance to be free.

At the beginning, they did have the intention to find Yu Ruyi, as long as there is water, they must see, look for it, exhausted, just passing by the study, a spirit, and the idea of the study.

After a lot of hard work, he finally transferred the guards guarding the courtyard door, sneaked into the study, and before he started to search for important clues, he heard the footsteps of King Heng walking into the study.

Liu Ling and Tian Xinyuan's energetic energy was all extinguished at once, so they had to hide behind the bookshelf, holding their breath and not daring to make the slightest sound.

It was not easy to survive until King Heng and General Wang left, and they could finally take a good breath, and the two of them sat on the ground at the same time, with their mouths open, and they couldn't care about being reserved, as long as they were happy.

The two of them didn't expect to hear the private conversation between King Heng and General Wang.

Among them, King Heng's last sentence made Liu Ling suddenly suspicious, and he always felt as if he had heard it. racked his brains and finally remembered that Tian Xinyuan's father, Tian Botai, had said similar things.

Could it be that King Heng is not the mastermind behind the scenes, and like Tian Botai, he also has the jade pendant that the mastermind is looking for?

If this is the case, King Heng is young, more than 20 years ago, he has not been born yet, obviously the jade pendant in King Heng's hand was given by others, or obtained by accident, who is this original owner?

King Heng said in his mouth, 'Is it really him coming?', if you can say such a thing, you must know the origin of the jade pendant, and even all the people involved in the whole incident.

Liu Ling told Tian Xinyuan about this matter, and Tian Xinyuan immediately boiled all over, and almost didn't scream: "Great, we are by mistake, but I didn't expect to find a correct one."

Liu Ling, you say, what should we do next? Otherwise, I will find a way to inform Xu Yun that the three of us will join forces, and we will not be afraid of not being able to open all the secrets in King Heng's mind. ”
