Chapter 10: Isn't It Better to Live Short?

As the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass.

If a man wants to conquer the world, he needs a golden iron horse, bloody killing, and piles of white bones; And if a woman wants to conquer the world, she only needs to conquer the man who gets the world.

No matter how decisive a man is, he can't escape the temptation of beauty, only beauty is not enough, and no man does not take the bait.

Presumably, there are many people in the court and even the magistrates who are not clean, and King Lie is afraid that he has the evidence, no wonder he was chased and killed all the way, I really don't know how many people he was dragging into the water with this move?

Mo Yuan stiffened his body and waited for a long time, for fear that Shen Xihe would ask what the rouge case was, so how could he explain it to the county lord of Bingqing Yujie?

Fortunately, only one sentence came from above: "I know, you go down." ”

Relieved, Mo Yuan stood up and respectfully retreated.

After finishing breakfast and wiping his mouth, Shen Xihe asked Biyu: "Who changed the blood-stained clothes for His Royal Highness King Lie yesterday?" ”

"Back to the county lord, it's a servant." Jasper hurriedly replied.

"Does Your Highness have any scrolls, books and other items on him?" Shen Xihe asked again.

"The slave didn't see it." Jasper thought carefully and shook her head.

Shen Xihe stood up and walked to the windowsill, took out a box of incense from her incense kitchen and handed it to Biyu: "Go and change this incense in His Highness's room, and then go and get His Highness's changed clothes." ”

"Yes."

After Jasper retreated, Shen Xihe sat in front of the log table, his round and pink fingertips gently moving on the brocade silk.

Xiao Changying was chased and killed so relentlessly, which showed that he must have sufficient evidence, but this evidence has not had time to pass it on.

Otherwise, the person behind the instigator would have been punished a long time ago, how could he be so arrogant in plotting to assassinate the prince of the dynasty?

Soon Jasper fetched the bloody clothes, originally she was worried that the county lord would want to wash it on her own initiative, but thinking of the morning incident, she still took it as it was.

Shen Xihe seemed to not see the blood stains on the clothes, grabbed it in her hand and spread it out inch by inch, but she didn't touch anything, her eyes moved: "Go and get His Highness's boots." ”

Jasper was inexplicable for a while, but he still hurriedly put away his clothes, and went to fetch Xiao Changying's boots, Xiao Changying wore a pair of black leather cloud toe boots, and the edge of the boots was met with exquisite gold silk moire rollers. Maybe it was the cover of the long shirt, but the boots didn't get much blood on them.

Shen Xihe didn't find any sandwich in his boots: "It shouldn't be......"

"County, county lord, what are you looking for...... Biyu plucked up the courage to ask, the county lord's daughter who has not been out of the pavilion is so unsuspicious that she touched the shoes of His Royal Highness King Lie, this behavior is really ......

Shen Xihe didn't answer her, but his eyes fell on the little petals left on the sole of the boot that couldn't tell what kind of flower it was, it was rubbed too much, probably because it was not polished at the shading.

I took the silver leaf clip for perfumery, pinched off the petals, and sniffed it closely.

Biyu's eyes widened and she watched in horror at the actions of her county lord, and her heart couldn't help but beat violently.

"It's Lobelia ......" Shen Xihe smiled lightly, turned around and walked out, and found Mo Yuan and commanded in a low voice, "You follow the traces of King Lie's being chased and killed, and find a place where there is Lobelia Lotus, if there are traces of trampling around, dig it up, whatever you dig up, bring it back, and go in person." ”

Mo Yuan glanced at Shen Xi and Jasper who was holding the boots of the Lie King behind him, nodded a little as if he didn't understand, and left quickly.

Shen Xihe turned around and walked into the room where Xiao Changying was lying with light steps, his eyes fell on the incense burner with curling cigarettes, which was also the condensing incense refined by the mandala.

A small amount of mandala can calm the mind and calm the qi, and can also cure headaches and help sleep. If the amount is too large, it will cause people to become delirious and fall into a fantasy and cannot extricate themselves.

Xiao Changying must have been chased and killed not far from here, and he realized that he was physically exhausted and was likely to die in Huangquan, so he buried the things on his body in a hidden place after getting rid of the killer for the last time.

As long as he dies here, someone will find him, and he will definitely search for it, and he must have made a mark, at least a mark that his people can find, so this place will not be too far from here.

"It's not in vain that I'll save you."

Let Biyu take a book, she sat in the outer hall of Xiao Changying's house and flipped through it, Mo Yuan went for about half an hour before coming back, dug up a booklet covered with mud and a sachet containing a jade pendant, and handed it to Shen Xihe.

Shen Xihe did not shy away from it, and Xiao Changying was separated by a curtain, flipping through the account book that Xiao Changying almost lost his life, and there were two letters and a few deeds in the booklet, and after turning it over, Shen Xihe couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the people involved are so wide and so heavy." ”

"County Lord, what are we going to do with this thing?" Although he didn't look at it, Mo Yuan was not a martial artist who could only fight, otherwise Shen Yueshan would not have specially sent him to protect Shen Xihe, he had already guessed what it was.

Shen Xihe: "Do you have a way to send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without leaving a trace?" ”

"To His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Mo Yuan couldn't help but raise his voice, and was shocked that he was rude, "County Lord, before leaving the northwest, the prince instructed the last general, don't get close to His Royal Highness the Prince......" Looking at Xiao Changying in the curtain, he lowered his voice, "Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not survive for two rounds, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be crowned in a few months......"

That is, he will not live for five years, and the prince has lived in the Taoist temple for a long time since he was eight years old because of his health. In the court, there is no foundation, and the prince who exists in name only.

All the kings are waiting for the prince to compete for the supreme position.

"Really?" Shen Xihe's eyes were deep, with a faint smile of meaning, "Isn't it better to have a short life?" ”

"County Lord, be cautious." Mo Yuan was so frightened that he subconsciously looked at the door and window.

Shen Xihe was calm and indifferent, and even directly ignored Xiao Changying's existence: "Mo Yuan, the Northwest Palace, just like the Gu family that was destroyed not long ago, cannot coexist with the Xiao royal family, if you want to keep the Northwest Palace, keep the Shen family, and the generals who follow the Shen family to defend the territory, only I will win the throne." ”

Emperor Youning will not marry her, she must marry the prince.

"Instead of gambling on the heart, it is better to choose a short-lived one and let the emperor and grandson who retains the blood of the Shen family ascend to the throne earlier."

"County Lord......" Mo Yuan was shocked by Shen Xihe's words, and his face turned pale with shock.

"You can ask Daddy, and I'll say it's what I said." Shen Xihe held the ice blue shawl on the ground, the wind blew gently, the light yarn floated, lining her fluttering, and her voice became ethereal, "Bet on your life, don't bet too early, because if you buy and leave, there is no room for regret." ”
