Chapter XIV: Investigation of Cases
When Huo Xing left to close the door, and Huo Weilou was the only one left in the house, he relieved himself of his tiredness, sat on the couch, and closed his eyes.
For this mother, Huo Weilou is entangled.
Everyone said that he was the eldest son of the old prince, and he was respected and loved by people, but he lacked maternal love.
When Huo Weilou was young, he only said that his mother was biased, his father was on the big side, and his mother was on the small side, and he felt that it was understandable. As he grew up, he gradually realized that his mother was not partial to him, but a feeling he couldn't understand - hatred.
Yes, hate.
Can a mother hate her son?
Huo Weilou was puzzled.
Later, when he realized that he had unknowingly been given a chronic poison, and all the details he could think of pointed to the old princess, he was as strong and forbearant as Huo Weilou and almost fell.
Fortunately, he survived.
Therefore, when Huo Xing told Huo Weilou the news of the shattering of the three views, it only confirmed his conjecture.
As for why, he did not know.
The more Huo Weilou thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he unconsciously sighed deeply, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling not far from the house.
Huo Weilou flicked his fingers to extinguish the candle and flashed out of the study.
Quietly, Huo Weilou approached the man who was laboriously drilling through the dog's hole.
The night clothes looked very familiar, and the hairpin on his head didn't look good, the corners of Huo Weilou's mouth twitched unconsciously, and as soon as the man climbed out panting, he didn't wait for her to stand up, so she picked up the collar of her back coat and strode back to the bedroom.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Shen Xinyue was speechless and asked Cangtian, "Why can't you change the other way?" Isn't that fun? Do you know that it is easy to die if the collar is stuck in the neck? ”
Thinking that he was almost strangled to death by Huo Weilou as soon as he crossed over, and then let him fly around several times, Shen Xinyue was simply angry, and launched an attack on the other party like a cannon.
"Hey, hey, hey...... The princess of the dignified regent palace wants to drill a dog hole when she returns home, why can't she change it in a different way? Isn't that fun? Do you know that if you spread it like this, the face of my palace will make you lose your light? ”
Seeing Shen Xinyue sitting on the ground angrily, her little head tilted, and her apricot eyes looking at him angrily, Huo Weilou suddenly gave up the cold and serious face of the prince for the first time in his life, and wanted to tease this woman who always brought him surprises, uh, or frightened.
Shen Xinyue patted the dirty hand that was crawling the dog cave just now, and then crossed her hands on her waist, looking at Huo Weilou with an unteachable expression, "Big brother, do you know about the case?" In my current situation, can I go out and investigate the situation openly? The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, so naturally I have to hide a little. Hide a little, but you have to go off the beaten path. I don't have the light skills to fly on the wall, and I can fly around, so I have to temporarily be short of breath and climb that dog hole. ”
Huo Weilou was simply laughed at by her, seeing that Shen Xinyue had been sitting on the ground, afraid that she would be cold, and he would go up and carry her.
Shen Xinyue stood up with a spirit, raised his palm and struck at Huo Weilou's front door.
This trick came as a surprise, Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows, his body did not move, and his big hand stretched out to directly hold Shen Xinyue's right hand, Shen Xinyue did not give in, and then stretched out his left hand to grab Huo Weilou's waist, but before he touched it, he was grabbed tightly by Huo Weilou's other hand.
Feeling the power of Shen Xinyue's arm, Huo Weilou smiled lightly, and with a little force, he brought Shen Xinyue to a 180 degree, slashed through the air, and gently put it on the ground.
When Shen Xinyue stood at her feet, she was already laughing and trembling, "It's so fun, it's so fun." ”
"What is the reason for talking and talking, and suddenly making a move?" Huo Weilou squinted at her.
"The reason is to tell you, even if I am weak and weak, I know how to resist. Don't carry me at every turn. This has made all the images of this girl disappear, you know? ”
Humming Shen Xinyue said as she raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat that was oozing slightly from her forehead.
Huo Weilou quickly took out a towel from his arms and stuffed it directly into her hand, turned around and sat down at the table to pour tea, and changed the topic, "What case are you going to investigate?" ”
Jokes aside, when it came to business, Shen Xinyue immediately looked serious, "Have you heard of anything in the house today?" ”
"Nature." Huo Weilou said, how could he not know that such a big thing happened in the house?
"That'll do, so I don't have to tell you from beginning to end. The poisonous snakes in the old princess's lotus pond are all from the Western Regions, and a wandering Taoist priest has such harmful things in his hands, aren't you curious? Shen Xinyue stared at Huo Weilou with a pair of big inquiring eyes.
Huo Weilou was uncomfortable with her, handed the freshly poured tea to Shen Xinyue's hand, watched her drink it in small sips, took it, and poured another cup.
Shen Xinyue took the cup, drank it all this time, and looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously, "Are you talking?" ”
Huo Weilou took the teacup from Shen Xinyue's hand again, and was about to pour the third cup, but Shen Xinyue held it down, "Big brother, are you playing deeply?" ”
Huo Weilou was not amused by her this time, but looked slightly unhappy on his face, "So you are going to investigate this matter?" ”
"That's right." Shen Xinyue looked like she took it for granted, and she didn't understand why Huo Weilou suddenly seemed unhappy.
"I don't know when it started, my dignified regent palace needs a woman to investigate the case!" There was obvious dissatisfaction in Huo Weilou's voice.
Shen Xinyue didn't know how to answer this time, but just looked at Huo Weilou in confusion.
"I sent him to take care of you, but what about her? Are all the people of my palace so disobedient? Huo Weilou frowned.
"No, she wants to follow me alive or dead, but such a dangerous thing, I can't affect her as an innocent person, so I panicked and said that I couldn't go, and then quietly gave her a little bit of sleep medicine......" Shen Xinyue hurriedly explained, and her voice sounded gradually unconfident.
Huo Weilou sighed lightly, worried about the safety of a slave maid, but not about his own safety, what kind of woman is this, "What clues can you find?" ”
Looking at Huo Weilou's sudden change, Shen Xinyue somehow felt depressed for no reason, "No." When they left, it was already a little dark, thinking that there were few people on the road, in order to avoid provoking their attention, so I changed into this night clothes and quietly followed, I didn't know the way, it was dark again, but I noticed that they came to a Taoist temple, the Taoist priest and those Taoist children separated, the Taoist children went to the Taoist temple, so I only followed the Taoist priest, but not long after, he was still lost by him. ”
Seeing Shen Xinyue's lost appearance, Huo Weilou's heart couldn't bear it, his voice was not as stern as just now, and he said very gently: "It's just that I lost a Taoist priest who doesn't enter the stream, don't mind." Rest assured, those who cause trouble in my house will not let him escape easily. In the future, you don't have to risk yourself again. The rivers and lakes are sinister, and they are not something that women like you can deal with. ”
Listening to this, doesn't he know something?
Shen Xinyue came to her senses again, "Lord Wang, did you also send someone to investigate?" What did you find, let's hear about it. ”
Huo Weilou nodded and said slowly: "There is a restaurant in the town not far from that Taoist temple, and that restaurant is the property of Lan Qingruo's grandfather's family, and there is her grandfather's sphere of influence within a radius of more than ten miles. ”
Shen Xinyue was a little surprised when she heard this, "Lan Qingruo - Taoist priest - her maternal grandfather? Changing relatives - using drugs - killing people to kill people? The Regent – Poisoned? ”
Shen Xinyue suddenly felt as if she had discovered something, isn't this the bridge in those typical ancient novels that you read in modern society?
How did you cross over this time and catch up with these bloody storms?
Although it is exciting, it is really tiring......
Shen Xinyue pinched her temples fiercely, hissing in her mouth.
Huo Weilou was worried that she was frightened, and asked with concern, "What?" What is wrong with you? ”
"Nope. I just thought of something out of the blue......"
Shen Xinyue carefully recalled the memories of the original owner, as if Lan Qingruo's grandfather's business had caused a big obstacle to the business of the original owner's family.
The original owner's family was engaged in the silk business in Jiangnan, and the silk in Jiangnan was absolutely in demand in the north.
The original owner's family had been doing smoothly and making a lot of money, but a few years ago, I suddenly heard that a relative related to the Taifu Mansion was obstructed, which caused the sales to the north to drop by a few percent, causing a lot of losses.
Now that she has crossed over, occupied the body of the original owner, used the identity of someone else, and put on these things that should not be shared, why not help the original owner put these things aside?
Thinking of this, Shen Xinyue said solemnly: "Since the prince even knows everything about Lan Qingruo's grandfather's family, then the prince must know all these things that happened to the prince and in this palace." There must be something big going on behind this.
Although I came reluctantly, I could not stand idly by. You also know that although the toxicity in your body has been suppressed by me for a while, it has not been completely eradicated after all, and if you are not careful, it will still kill you.
Therefore, I think that although I have cleared the suspicion of the matter of changing relatives, I still want to live in your mansion temporarily, firstly, to seek a way to completely remove these poisons from your body for the prince; The second is that if there is really something big behind it, maybe I can help one or two. ”
"Of course," Seeing that Huo Weilou did not answer immediately, Shen Xinyue continued: "If the prince thinks that it is inconvenient for me to be in your mansion, then Xinyue will not force it. I remember that when I got married, my mother's family was married to a mansion in the capital and some scattered dowries, so please ask the prince to make it convenient, and I turned around and moved to my own house with the dowry. ”
Huo Weilou sat and looked at Shen Xinyue, listening to her talk about this call, and his heart was both happy and confused.
Happily, she said that she would continue to stay in the palace to detoxify him and help him get through his trouble.
This was unthinkable to him, after all, this palace brought more harm to Shen Xinyue.
Confused, who is this woman exactly?
She is definitely not the straw bag daughter Shen Xinyue in people's mouths, she is quick-thinking, decisive, sincere and kind, and loves and hates clearly, so who is she?
