Either the princess of Annan County has seen this sister, knows her whereabouts, and knows how she is doing, or this Gu Yanyan has an ulterior past, and the princess of Annan County must hide a thing or two for her.

Han Changdui put this matter aside for the time being, didn't ask any questions, and just continued to ask about the four beauties: "Since these four beauties are related to the relics of Emperor Ming, and the sage is also looking for this map, then, the sage must also know about this, does he know how to open the mechanism of the relics of Emperor Ming?" ”

Princess Annan squinted: "I don't know, he asked for this picture because he wanted to know how to open the treasure of Emperor Ming." ”

Han Changwan smiled suspiciously: "Then, why does the saint want to have a child with the princess of the county?" ”

This matter is the lifelong shame of the princess of Annan County, hearing this, her face turned red, not only hateful, but also angry, the joints of her hands turned white, and she made up her mind for a while, gritted her teeth and said: "This matter is related to the method of opening the last mechanism of Emperor Ming's relic, forgive, forgive this concubine can only tell Han Shizi after seeing that the prince is safe and sound." ”

Han Changwan narrowed his eyes and said noncommittally: "Okay, what this official has is patience." ”

Seeing that Han Changdui didn't ask about it, the princess of Annan County breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Han Changdui.

The princess of Annan County is actually suspicious, she knows that the Han Wangfu has a heavy army, and she has always been feared by Emperor Yong'an, although Emperor Yong'an and King Han are each other's in-laws, but they have always been incompatible with each other.

Then Han Changdu, who is the prince of King Han, is naturally jealous of Emperor Yong'an.

At the beginning of last year, Han Changdui suddenly handed over the military power in his hands and entered Beijing as an official, although the world was full of praise on the face, praising Emperor Yong'an and the monarchs and ministers of King Han, but privately it was rumored that the prince of Han Wang entered Beijing, and he was called an official by reuse, in order to take his body as a hostage.

The princess of Annan County thought that since she had been reduced to a hostage, at most she had the power of self-preservation, where did Han Changdui have the courage and confidence to dare to confront and compete with Emperor Yong'an.

She was suspicious of Han Changdu's methods.

But now it seems that he really has the confidence to compete with Emperor Yong'an.

Thinking like this, she blurted out, "Han Shizi thinks he will definitely win?" ”

Han Changdui said expressionlessly: "There are certain things in the world, it's just a fight." ”

Princess Annan County smiled abruptly: "Yes, the things of the world, if you win, you will win or lose, if you don't win, you will definitely lose." ”

The drums sounded one after another, and just after the end of the year, the candles in the palace of Annan County were more than half extinguished, and in the dark night, the bleak moonlight was reflected on the lake, the lake was rippling, the ripples spread, and a crescent moon was torn and broken and messy.

There was silence in all directions, there were dead people in the back room, still hanged, the death was hideous and ugly, very unlucky, and the other person was imprisoned again, the west room was mostly empty, and the remaining maid named Shi Dong did not dare to live by herself, so she moved to another room and squeezed with other maids.

Shi Chun died violently, hanging is a way of death that everyone taboos, she is a servant girl, the body is not allowed to spend the night in the house, it should have been a broken mat and a roll, and it was sent directly to the mass grave.

But now that Leng Linjiang has intervened in this matter, and has concluded that Shi Chun did not hang himself, but was killed, and he wanted to find out the facts of the case, then the body could not be moved out for the time being, so it could only be temporarily placed in the West House, and two bold little servants were arranged to guard it in the house.

No matter how bold these two little guys were, they didn't dare to enter the house, and stood tremblingly under the eaves of the verandah opposite the West House, only daring to look at the door of the West House from a distance, but not daring to approach half a step closer.

"Eh, there you go." The little guy with a square face poked the little guy next to him with his elbow and said in a low voice.

"Why don't you go! Why did you tell me to go? The little guy on the side is a pointed chin and a beautiful eyebrow, but his temper is not very good, his thick eyebrows stand up, and he glares at each other.

The square face was not angry or angry, and confessed: "I'm afraid, you are bold." ”

The pointed chin choked, and he thought he was scared, but he felt that his face was dull, and he stumbled and said, "I, I, I won't go." I heard that people who are hanged are very ugly, and they are easy to turn into evil spirits. ”

Quartet glanced at the window of the West House, only to feel frightened, and his face turned white with fright: "It's really fake, you, don't scare me." ”

The pointed chin also scared himself, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "I, I also heard what people said, I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it." ”

As they spoke, a black shadow flew in front of the two of them, like a fleeting cloud of smoke, difficult to capture.

The two of them looked at each other in unison, frightened, screamed, and hugged each other tightly.

"Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts." The two of them were dumb for a moment as if they had been choked by someone, and then suddenly their voices changed their tune, which was not like human voices.

The two men screamed and supported each other, and staggered away.

The scream was so terrible that the other two rooms in the back room were lit up with candles in an instant, and there was a squirming movement, and someone opened the door with a puzzled face and looked out.

The warm night breeze blew slowly, and the courtyard was empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost.

Where the hell came from, blind this is.

With a "bang", the person who poked his head out impatiently closed the door and continued to sleep with his head covered.

After a moment of silence, a servant girl came out from behind the vermilion pillar, and she glanced around, then walked to the door of the West House with her head down, pushed the door open, and quietly flashed in.

The room was pitch black, the night breeze blew in through the open windows, adding to the coldness, and a withered yellow mat was spread on the floor, on which a white cloth rose and fell, outlining the outline of a human figure.

The maid covered the door with her backhand, leaned against the door and breathed softly, calmed her mind, and tiptoed over.

There was a dead silence under the white cloth.

The maidservant reached out to uncover the white cloth, and saw that Shi Chun's face had become pale, even though she was mentally prepared, she was still startled by this unsightly and ugly face.

The maid steadied her mind again, squatted down and pulled out the hairpin on Shi Chun's head, her hair was scattered, her eyes shrank, and she groped for a moment in the black oily hair.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he muttered secretly: "Why not." ”

Her face was full of suspicion, and she reached out again and touched it carefully.

"Are you looking for this?" Suddenly the lights and candles lit up in the room, and a faint and cold word sounded.

The maidservant was so frightened that she lifted her pale face, and she looked at the visitor with a frightened face.

I don't know when there were so many more people in the room, Han Changwan and Princess Annan County stood at the front, and there were a few people standing behind, all of whom she had seen today.

Han Changdui raised his hand, holding a silver needle glowing with black light in his hand, it is not accurate to say that it is a silver needle, this needle is half the thickness of a hairpin, and the place where the needle should be threaded is carved into a plum blossom shape, such a needle is hidden in the bun, and it is impossible to see it if you don't look carefully.

Four or five lights illuminated the Westinghouse as bright as day, and the light fell on the faces of these people, all of whom had a cold and solemn expression of wanting to eat people, and they were scared to death.

The light fell on the silver needle, and the black light was cold and palpitating.

"Are you looking for this needle?" Han Changdu's gaze was cold, and the needle in his hand was like a sharp sword, piercing the maidservant's eyes.

The maidservant trembled violently in horror, staring at the silver needle in Han Changdu's hand, and the corners of her lips twitched: "You, you, how can this, how come, in your hands?" ”

Ruyu sighed twice and sneered: "Shi Dong, I didn't know that you were so bold to touch the dead in the middle of the night." ”

It turned out that this maid was Shi Dong, who originally lived in the same house as Shi Chun.

Shi Dong shook his head and shook quickly: "No, no, it's not me, I'm not, I don't." ”

Ruyu looked at Shi Dong like a fool, lowered her eyes, moved her eyes to look at the white cloth that was lifted, and the sneer on her face was as sharp as a knife: "You still don't admit it if you catch one, are you blind or stupid?" ”

Shi Dong cried and said with a sad face: "No,, that's not what you mean,,,!" She was already colorless, and she knelt on the ground with a "poof", and the sound of kowtowing was endless.

"Now that you are convicted, let's talk about it." Han Changwan sneered, holding the needle between his fingers, and spoke lightly.

Shi Dong was already crying like no one, and he was almost out of breath when he sobbed: "Slave, slave, slave is threatened, slave is forced to be helpless!" ”

Ruyu took a step forward and shouted with a cold face: "If you don't tell you honestly, who knows if you are forced to be helpless!" Are you not there to protect anyone, are not, say! ”

Shi Dong knelt on the ground, looking at the people in front of her with teary eyes, all of them were fierce and vicious, she was shocked, and she only felt that she had cut off her life.

She closed her eyes, saying that it was also death, not saying that it was also death, that's it, it was enough to kill her, why bother, why bother to die a group of people!

She gritted her teeth and widened her eyes, her eyes bulging slightly, with a resolute face.

Han Changdui looked at Shi Dong's appearance, and sighed in his heart, and between the calcium carbide firelight, his body moved.

At the same time, Shi Dong rushed out resolutely, rushing towards the wall quickly and violently.

Who knew that there was no sharp pain and blood splattering as she expected, but instead bumped into something that was neither soft nor hard, and the force of the rebound knocked her back hard, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, and couldn't get up for half a day.

Seeing this, Ruyu beckoned the two maidservants to step forward together, clamped Shi Dong's arm one left and one right, and then pulled out a handkerchief and gagged her mouth neatly.

"Let you say that you don't say it, and dare to seek death, you think that if you die, you will be a hundred, but you are the son of the family in this house, and the family is pinched in the house, it is easy to die, it is rare to survive and not to die!" Ruyu was angry and scolded.

Shi Dong was shocked, kowtowed, and begged for mercy over and over again.

Yao Qi stood at the back, listening to Ruyu's words, she faintly felt a little weird, but she couldn't say anything wrong, she just felt that Ruyu's words sounded like she was threatening Shi Dong, she stared at Ruyu and Shi Dong's movements at a good glance, lest she miss any details.

Shi Dong's collision was determined to die, and with ten percent of his strength, Han Changdu's abdominal pain was unbearable, he covered his stomach, bent down, and looked painful.

Seeing this, Leng Linjiang hurriedly stepped forward to support Han Changdu, and asked worriedly: "How is it, Jiuchao, how are you." ”

Han Changwan turned his head to look at Yao Qi, only to see that her gaze didn't fall on her for half a minute, let alone worry, she shook her head helplessly, smiled bitterly, straightened up and said, "It's okay." ”

Then he pulled out his arm and walked in front of Shi Dong.

Leng Linjiang naturally saw Han Changdu's gaze looking at Yao Qi, hehe chuckled twice, retreated to Yao Qi, and stabbed Yao Qi with his elbow: "Eh, Jiu Chao is injured, why don't you show your concern, after all, it is your Shangguan, and it will depend on him for your promotion and fortune in the future." ”

"Don't be funny, how strong can a girl who has no power to tie a chicken have, she can hit him with a bang, then he is really made of tofu." Yao Qi glanced at Leng Linjiang, said with disdain on his face, and then changed his face, and looked at Leng Linjiang with a smile: "Besides, Lord Shaoyin, you are the lowly official, and you can't be promoted to make a fortune if you have a humble position, and it all depends on you, my lord, to reach the pinnacle of life from now on." ”

Leng Linjiang took Yao Qi's hand away with a disgusted face, and sighed: "Oh, I'm just using it for this." ”

Yao Qi smiled flatteringly: "This is still of little use, Lord Shaoyin, the net worth and future of everyone in our Jingzhao Mansion Office are in your hands, and you will be promoted to Jingzhao Mansion Yin one day, don't forget to give a piece of the pie to the lowly positions." ”

Leng Linjiang smiled: "Ah, I love to listen to you." ”

Han Changdui walked up to Shi Dong, shook the silver needle in front of her eyes, and said expressionlessly: "Shi Dong, someone else asked you to pick up this thing?" ”

Onigiri reads a book

Shi Dong was gagged, unable to speak, her arms were held down tightly, unable to move, she struggled violently twice, her mouth made a whining sound, and nodded heavily.

Han Changwan glanced at Ruyu: "Took what was in her mouth." ”

Ruyu hurriedly said: "No, this little hoof has the heart to seek death, and he will bite his tongue and kill himself." ”

Han Changwan pursed his lips and was silent, and glanced at the princess of Annan County lightly, that look seemed to be saying that this kind of subordinate who can talk back, if he was in the palace of King Han, he would have died eight hundred times.

The princess of Annan County suddenly felt that her face was gloomy, and she scolded Ruyu in a low voice: "How can you talk to the envoy, go, let her go!" ”

Ruyu's face turned white, and she glanced at the two maidservants rather embarrassed.

The two let go of Shi Dong and took off the handkerchief from her mouth.

Shi Dong regained his freedom, and immediately rushed to Han Changdu's face, hugged his legs, and cried with snot and tears: "My lord, my lord, my servant, my servant was forced, please, please save my servant, save my servant." ”

Before the words were finished, the tears were still there, Shi Dong snorted, the words stopped abruptly, she collapsed on the ground, and fainted.

Everyone looked at Han Changdui's hand that had withdrawn from Shi Dong's back neck in astonishment.

Han Changdui didn't feel embarrassed at all, shook his hand, and ordered lightly with an expressionless face: "Ah Qi, take her down and interrogate her strictly." ”

Yao Qi, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded yes, not showing it on his face, but he was indignant in his heart, why do you always have to find her for such a thing, does she look fierce.

In front of everyone's eyes, Yao Qi stepped forward with a gloomy face, grabbed Shi Dong's shirt with one hand, carried her on her shoulders, and walked out with a heavy weight.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths slightly open, and they didn't know what to say.

An Qi was the first to come back to his senses, looking at Yao Qi, who had already walked out of the door, he opened his mouth in astonishment: "This, this, isn't this the girl sent by Leng Shaoyin." ”

"yes, she, isn't she hurt?" Ruyu held her chin, and a trace of gloomy light flashed between her eyes.

The princess of Annan County looked at Han Changdui and sneered self-deprecatingly: "The envoy is really good, even his own subordinates can be willing to give up." Her charming eyes moved slightly: "That Meng Suijiao is also a subordinate of the envoy." ”

Han Changdu's face did not change, and his heart did not beat and spit out two words: "Exactly." ”

A big drama of catching a thief in an urn came to an end, Han Changwan and a few people rested in the guest room, and the princess of Annan County ordered someone to bring in a sumptuous supper.

She is endlessly grateful, as soon as Shi Chun died, she knew that Shi Chun almost stole the four beautiful pictures, Shi Dong threw herself into the net, and she knew that the poisoning of the son of the world was also plotting against it.

She had very complicated emotions towards Han Changdui, she was very grateful to this person for stopping Shi Chun's movements, and she was afraid of Han Changdu's pervasive methods, and she hated him even more for threatening her with Simeitu.

Working with such a person is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

The supper in the palace of Annan County is particularly exquisite, and every dish has a origin, but the portion is smaller, almost all of them are gone, only the pot of bird's nest porridge is very large.

Leng Linjiang was eating, and he raised his head and glanced at Han Changdu.

Han Changwan took a sip of bird's nest porridge, gently put down the porridge bowl, and looked at Leng Linjiang with a smile: "Just ask whatever you want, I will definitely say what I can say." ”

Leng Linjiang held back for a whole night, and finally found an outlet for catharsis, he asked non-stop in one breath: "Jiu Chao, what is going on with the princess of Annan County, what is going on with the prince, which one are you singing tonight, you," he paused slightly, and asked hesitantly: "What are you looking for?" ”

Before Han Changdui could speak, there was a chuckle at the door, Yao Ji carried a few pages of thin paper, and said slyly: "Lord Shaoyin, why are you so much, what's the matter, curiosity is really heavy, do you know that curiosity kills cats." ”

"What do you mean by curiosity killing a cat?" Leng Linjiang smiled and said, "What does curiosity have to do with cats?" ”

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows, walked to Han Changdu's side quietly, handed the pages to Han Changdu, and quietly sat down beside Leng Linjiang with a bowl of porridge, smiled narrowly, and had a deep meaning in his words: "Lord Shaoyin, if you are too curious, it will not only kill cats, but also kill people." ”

Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face slowly solidified, and then he laughed again: "Yes, you are right, I am a person, my brain is not enough, it is enough to be curious and curious." ”

Yao Qi pursed his lips and smiled.

She knew that Leng Linjiang was the most transparent gentleman.

Han Changwan lowered his head, slowly drinking bird's nest porridge, while looking at the few pages of tissue paper in his hand, his face sank a little, although the content written on this paper was what he expected, but the degree of difficulty was still beyond his expectations.

He rubbed the corner of the paper, looked up and asked Yao Qi: "Has she sent someone to her home?" ”

Yao Qi nodded: "After getting the confession, I told Meng Zongqi about his humble position, and he personally brought the internal guards over." She raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside: "In about half an hour, they will be back." ”

Yao Qi was doing things, Han Changwan was naturally trustworthy, nodded and said, "Has the medicine been delivered to the front hall?" ”

Yao Qi said: "I sent it over, after the medicine takes effect, the princess of Annan County should send someone over." ”

Han Changdui relaxed, put his hands behind his head, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes slightly: "I'll be busy for a while." ”

Leng Linjiang showed an extremely sympathetic expression: "Hey, the night is long, wouldn't it be a pity not to sleep." ”

After that, he didn't wonder what was written in the few pieces of paper in Han Changdu's hand, and walked out the door without hesitation.

Yao Qi smiled and made up a knife behind Leng Linjiang: "Lord Shaoyin, the source of all evil is curiosity." ”

Hearing this, Leng Linjiang was stunned, as if there was a demon chasing and biting her behind her, and she ran away without a trace.

The moment the door was opened, the slightly cold wind in the middle of the night came in along the crack in the door, diluting the heavy smell of food in the guest room, and blowing the people's spiritual platform Qingming.

Han Changdui raised his head and stared at the reclosed door with a cloudy expression, his eyes flashed, and there was a faint feeling: "You deliberately want to break him open." ”

"What, what on purpose?" Yao Qi snorted and drank two mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge, looked up and said blankly: "What did the adults say on purpose?" She looked at the empty porridge bowl, got up and filled another bowl, and sighed: "This bird's nest is really good, but there is a little more rice." ”

Han Changwei looked at Yao Qi, who was skillfully pretending to be stupid, opened his mouth, shook his head helplessly and smiled: "If you like to drink, drink more." ”

Yao Ji snorted: "Bird's nest is a precious thing, so naturally you have to drink more." ”

Han Changwan smiled: "If you like it, go back to the house, and ask people to stew and eat it every day." ”

Yao Qiquan didn't hear this, didn't answer, took a sip of porridge, and looked out of the door anxiously: "It stands to reason that the medicine will be effective soon, why hasn't the princess of Annan County sent someone yet, she shouldn't regret it." ”

"No, it won't." Han Changdui said firmly: "The four beautiful pictures are in our hands, she doesn't dare to regret it." ”

Yao Qi snorted, remembering the performance of Ruyu when she had just caught Shi Dong, she suddenly raised her head and frowned slightly: "My lord, I feel that there is something wrong with Ruyu." ”

Han Changdui was puzzled: "What's the matter, what did you find?" ”

Yao Ji carefully explained the situation of Fang Cai, and said cautiously: "My lord, you see, the princess of Annan County should not do it herself, but she will not fake it to others, so who will do it, naturally she is the closest and most trusted person, if this person has a problem, then, no matter whether the medicine is true or not, people will have an accident." ”
