What Ning Shu wanted to say was that the matter was still under consideration, and there was no plan to leave for the time being.

was interrupted by Xie Yunyan, and she was also silent with interest.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

Ning Shu asked, but his footsteps followed Xie Yunyan's figure.

"Viewing lanterns!" Xie Yunyan seemed casual, but in fact, he took her hand extremely nervously and walked on the corridor in the mansion, "These lanterns are all prepared for you, if you don't look at them, they will be disappointed." ”

"They?" Ning Shu chuckled and pointed to the lantern and asked.

Xie Yunyan actually nodded his head in a matter-of-fact manner.

The corners of Ning Shu's lips hooked up a happy arc, this was the first time she had seen the lantern, and it was indeed full of novelty.

Raising her eyes to look up at the lanterns hanging under the eaves, Ning Shu sighed: "Why didn't you find out that you were such a thoughtful person before?" ”

"I still have a lot on my mind, and you can slowly find out in the future, this is just the beginning." Xie Yunyan was interested and took Ning Shu to the courtyard of his study.

As soon as she entered the door, Ning Shu was completely dazzled.

The entire courtyard is dotted with water tanks, and a huge lotus lantern floats quietly in each tank.

Ning Shu wanted to take a closer look, but she just thought about it, but before she could take a second look, she was pulled to the front of the study by Xie Yunyan.

Xie Yunyan smiled at Ning Shu as if he was invited: "There are still here." ”

Ning Shu looked at it fixedly, "This is-Kong Ming Lantern?" ”

"Yes, there are rumors that you can make a wish, but now that the Shangyuan Festival has long passed, few people have made a wish, so your wish will definitely be clearly seen and fulfilled for you."

He bent down and picked up a pen on the ground and handed it to Ning Shu, his eyes were serious, "Come, here you go." ”

"Huh?" Ning Shu was made to laugh and cry by Xie Yunyan's series of operations.

Holding the pen in his hand, he looked at Xie Yunyan's serious appearance in a word, couldn't bear to spoil his kindness, and wrote seriously with a helpless smile.

Sensing that Ning Shu behind him had moved, Xie Yunyan concentrated on the Kong Ming lantern in front of him.

A flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

Ning Shu moved quickly, picked up the pen without hesitation, and wrote down her wishes smoothly.

Xie Yunyan followed, and after writing, he looked back at Ning Shu and asked, "What did you write?" ”

"Don't say it, it's not effective if it's seen by others."

Ning Shu hugged Kong Minglan and quickly withdrew to the distance.

Xie Yunyan: ......

The two of them were separated from each other in the farthest position of the courtyard, and quietly lit the Kong Ming lantern like a thief.

Hongling hid at the gate of the courtyard, kept cautiously watching the movements of the two, and finally couldn't help but trot back to tell the Duchess of Guo.

"It's rare that that dead boy can have this mind, if he knew it, he would have lost his memory!"

Early this morning, Xie Yunyan came over and asked about some customs about the Shangyuan Festival.

Duchess Guo's eyes lit up, and she used all her strength to teach Xie Yunyan all the treatment that she hadn't received from Xie Guogong for so many years.

Hongling's smile couldn't be contained, and she stood behind the Duchess and pinched her shoulders for her, "That's what Madame said, in fact, Hongling knows that Madame is still looking forward to the prince recovering her memory as soon as possible." ”

"Hey." Duchess Guo sighed, "Do you want to recover your memory as soon as possible?" ”

"Recover your memories as soon as possible—"

Xie Yunyan's eyesight was excellent, and he only glanced at the lamp wall that was rising into the night sky, and saw the wish written by Ning Shu.

He chanted silently and looked at Ning Shu with a blazing gaze.

Ning Shu's cheeks were a little hot when he stared at him, and she twisted her fingers at a loss, thinking about what she should say at this time to change the topic.

"By the way, how is the investigation of Father-in-law Su?"

As soon as he mentioned the matter, Xie Yunyan's expression immediately became solemn.

He had a gloomy face and said to Ning Shu: "Let's go, go in and say." ”

Ning Shu blushed in an instant and followed up with the study.

"Did you make a discovery?"

Closing the door, Xie Yunyan nodded to her and said, "Yes." ”

In order to thoroughly investigate the cause of Father-in-law Su's death, the emperor ordered the body of Father-in-law Su to be frozen in an ice coffin.

Although the whole person was frozen into a large block of ice, all the symptoms at the time of the murder were intact.

"Father-in-law Su - from the neck down was burned to ashes, but the murderer deliberately left his head. Today, Brother Qi and I went to check the body, and I found that there were traces of attack on the back of Father-in-law Su's neck. ”

The bruise was no more than half the size of a fingernail, and it was hidden in the hair, making it difficult to spot.

But he was still found by Xie Yunyan.

"If you want to control Grandpa Su, you either poison or knock people out. Apparently, the murderer chose the latter. Ning Shu analyzed lightly.

Xie Yunyan thought for a while and said, "Although the bruises left behind are very small, I have carefully observed the neck bones of Gonggong Su, and that bit of strength is estimated not to cause people to fall unconscious." ”

"Huh? In other words, Grandpa Su was awake before he died? Ning Shu was a little surprised.

was burned alive under his consciousness, how much pain and fear should Grandpa Su suffer before he died?

Ning Shu's heart couldn't help but twitch.

Xie Yunyan's heart suddenly sank, and he unconsciously approached Ning Shu, leaning against her on his shoulders to be a backer she could rely on.

"Actually, the point I want to say is not this, you said that if a person wants to attack another person, he must have made sufficient preparations before he starts, so why can't even Gonggong Su - cough, such an old eunuch can't be subdued?"

Ning Shu's body immediately straightened up, and she said in surprise at Xie Yunyan's words: "You mean, maybe this murderer himself is a person with little strength, he can be a young man who has not yet been weak, or he can be a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken?" ”

"Yes." Xie Yunyan looked at Ning Shu appreciatively, "This is just my preliminary guess. ”

Ning Shu's white index finger pointed at her chin, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I met someone today. ”

"Who?" can be mentioned by Ning Shu at this time, this person should obviously be related to the case.

Ning Shu said uncertainly: "The girl of Lord Shi's family in Qintianjian, Shi Yingying. ”

"Oh?" Xie Yunyan leaned back in deep thought and leaned back in his chair.

In fact, when he read the file, he also noticed the girl of the Shi family who had contact with Gonggong Su in Shifu that day.

I've also looked into it.

Miss Shi was frail at an early age, and for a long time she had a habit of not going out of the house, and rarely came into contact with the world.

Even if it is contacted, it should be some women in the back house.

In any case, it is impossible to have anything to do with Gonggong Su.

But Xie Yunyan's heart is biased, and when he looks at things, he is biased.

He was full of trust in Ning Shu, even if Ning Shu had no evidence.

"So, you're suspicious of Miss Stone?"

Ning Shu shook her head, "I don't know, I just think that as soon as I returned to Beijing, I came into contact with Grandpa Su's case, and then I met Miss Shi, and I always felt that things were a little too coincidental." ”
