But he was negligent and hadn't paid attention to it before.

Although it is normal for some young people to have an inconspicuous Adam's apple or grow out late, Nie Shiyu is already nineteen years old, why is his neck still so smooth?

"Overseer, what's wrong?" Seeing Jing Heng staring at his neck and frowning silently, Shi Yu asked.

"Nothing." Jing Heng retracted his gaze and temporarily suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and now the top priority is to bandage the wound.

Half an hour later, Shi Yu and Jing Heng had already returned to the palace, judging from the results of Chaiyun's interrogation.

The young man who assassinated was named Sheng Yuan, the youngest brother of Sheng Ping, but because he was an illegitimate child, he was not included in the Sheng family tree.

But since he learned that he had such a younger brother, Sheng Ping was very good to him, and Sheng Yuan received a lot of care from Sheng Ping since he was a child. Since Sheng Ping's death, he tried his best to track Jing Heng's whereabouts, in order to avenge his brother, this time he finally tracked down the ready-to-wear shop and mixed in from the backyard.

"Overseer, according to Sheng Yuan's confession, he also spent money to hire a murderer, and used all his savings to hire an assassin to follow the Overseer, and the assassin assassinated by Merlin the day before yesterday also made him identify the portrait and determined that it was the person he hired."

Jing Heng frowned, "It doesn't make sense, if he hired someone to kill the lord, why would he do it to the emperor." But if his initial target also included the emperor, then why didn't he know him in the ready-to-wear shop. ”

After all, he and Nie Shiyu both travel in regular clothes, and the assassin doesn't seem to be a master, if he doesn't even have a portrait, why would he be so determined to assassinate Nie Shiyu?

Chaiyun nodded, "There is indeed a problem, my subordinates asked, Sheng Yuan insisted that the person he hired to kill was the Overseer, and the portrait he gave was also the Overseer." ”

Jing Heng quickly narrowed his eyes, "Go and investigate, there must be a hidden secret in this matter." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Chaiyun retreated, and on the other side, Shi Yu's wound was also bandaged.

Although Jing Heng specially sent someone to send the imperial doctor to check Shi Yu's wound again, he was rejected by Shi Yu on the grounds that his neck hurt and he could no longer disassemble the gauze.

Seeing this, Jing Heng didn't continue to insist, but just followed the imperial doctor when he left Hanguang Palace.

"Adult men don't have an Adam's apple?" The Imperial Physician bowed his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Back to the Overseer, there are also such cases. If a man is too obese, the Adam's apple may not be noticeable on the outside. ”

"What if you're thin?" Jing Heng asked.

Nie Shiyu's small body has nothing to do with obesity.

"This ......," the Imperial Physician hesitated for a moment, and then continued to speak, "If that man is born weak, with a void body, and congenital deficiencies, this may also occur. ”

"Body Void ......" Jing Heng remembered Shi Yu's remarks, and secretly raised his eyebrows in his heart, this is possible.

"Stand down."

Without saying more, Jing Heng waved his hand and let the imperial doctor go.

According to what the imperial doctor said, it is normal for Nie Shiyu's Adam's apple to be not obvious.

coincided with a courtier who came to ask for a meeting and report on government affairs, Jing Heng temporarily suppressed his thoughts and dealt with the courtiers.

In order not to affect Shi Yu's rest, Jing Heng went to Ji Yingxuan again, but listening to the government affairs reported by the courtiers, Jing Heng couldn't help but be distracted for a while.

Although according to the imperial doctor's statement, it is indeed explained, but now that I think back carefully on Nie Shiyu's neck, it seems that I can't see the shadow of the Adam's apple at all, even if it is not obvious, it will not be impossible to see at all, right?

Could it be that Nie Shiyu's body was really empty to such an extent, and the Adam's apple had never grown at all?

"That's not right!" Jing Heng was suspicious, and suddenly spoke, startling the courtiers who were reporting.

"Governor, Governor, what do you think is wrong?"

Jing Heng came back to his senses, and only then did he notice that there were still courtiers standing in front of him.

"I'll report this matter later, so let's step back first."

After speaking, he got up directly and walked towards the Hanguang Palace.

Several courtiers looked at each other, and they couldn't figure it out.

On the other side, in the Hanguang Palace, Shi Yu stood in front of the bronze mirror, reached out and touched his neck wrapped in gauze.

Suddenly heard footsteps at the door, subconsciously turned his head, pulled the wound, and grinned in pain.

"Governor, didn't you go to discuss with the courtiers, and it was over so soon?"

Seeing Shi Yu's painful appearance, Jing Heng frowned, "Don't move!" ”

"I don't want to, but I can't stand the conditioned reflex." Shi Yu stiffened his neck and sat down at the table.

Although the wound is not deep enough to kill her, it really hurts.

Jing Heng's eyes fell on Shi Yu's neck, and then fell on her thin figure, and his heart became more and more suspicious.

Being looked at by this gaze, Shi Yu felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Is there something wrong with you, Overseer?"

Jing Heng's gaze moved to Shi Yu's face, "Why doesn't the emperor have an Adam's apple?" ”

Shi Yu's heart trembled, and he immediately remembered the way Jing Heng stared at his neck in the ready-to-wear shop, so it was!

"Overseer, you are here to uncover your scars!" Quickly came back to his senses, Shi Yu's face fell, "What's wrong without the Adam's apple, I was born weak, what can I do if the Adam's apple can't grow!" ”

"Is that really the case?" Jing Heng's gaze wandered over Shi Yu for a moment.

"Or else?" Shi Yu's face became more and more ugly, and he said in a cold voice, "It's not that the Overseer doesn't know, you still have to come to me to sprinkle salt on my wounds, do you?" ”

When Nie Shiyu was a teenager, not having the Adam's apple was already a problem.

At that time, Empress Dowager Lin even secretly found someone to make a fake Adam's apple, but it was not realistic enough and too easy for people to see through. In the end, Empress Dowager Lin heard that if a man was congenitally deficient, he might not have an Adam's apple, so she decided to use this reason at that time.

Seeing Yu's cold face, Jing Heng's heart was shaken for a moment, but he still couldn't completely dispel his doubts.

"After all, the emperor was injured this time, so it is better to find a doctor to check the pulse, which is more secure."

"Does the Overseer want everyone in the Imperial Hospital, and even the entire palace, to know?"

Shi Yu frowned and stared at Jing Heng unhappily, but he was a little panicked in his heart.

It seems that Jing Heng is really doubting herself, if her identity is exposed, with the relationship between her and Jing Heng, can she find a glimmer of life?

Shi Yu still felt that she had no bottom in her heart, she was willing to believe that Jing Heng would not really kill her for the time being, but what about the future, can it be the same?

"The emperor can rest assured, as long as you don't want to, Weichen will never let any news get out." Without ignoring the tension in the depths of Shi Yu's eyes, Jing Heng spoke to the outside of the hall, "Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor to come over." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiazi's report came from outside the hall.

"Emperor Qi, Lord Overseer, Imperial Doctor Lin asks to see you."
