"There was a mess of footprints left at the scene, and it seems that a lot of people have been to the site."

Ah Yao frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"This official personally went to the scene to investigate, although there were a bunch of footprints at the scene, but there was not a complete footprint, I don't know if it was intentional by the murderer."

The murderer deliberately created a bunch of messy footprints at the scene, what did the murderer want to do?

Ah Yao looked at Zhao Shuang's whole body and asked, "Lord Zhao has been an official for many years, what is his unique opinion on this case?" ”

Zhao Shuangquan put one hand on his cheek and said seriously: "The security in Kyoto has always been very good for many years, and it coincides with the birthday of the Queen Mother, but so many things have happened, is this murderer going to the Queen Mother?" ”

The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it is extremely unlikely that the murderer will rush to the Queen Mother.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Shuangquan continued: "Miss Ayao, when will the prince return home?" ”

"The prince went to the imperial residence, and I don't know when I will be able to return home."

"What about this ......"

Zhao Shuangquan really didn't have any ideas, and he couldn't wait to go to the emperor to take the blame and resign.

"Lord Zhao, don't be impatient, after the prince returns home, I will immediately inform the prince of this matter."

"Thank you, Miss A-Yao."

"The Queen Mother's birthday is imminent, so as not to affect the birthday of the Queen Mother, I will bother Lord Zhao to send additional manpower to patrol the streets and alleys of Kyoto day and night to prevent such incidents from happening again."

Zhao Shuangquan nodded, "Even if Miss A-Yao doesn't remind her, this official has decided to send more patrols." ”

"That's good."

Zhao Shuangquan looked outside the house and said, "It's not too early, this official will send someone to send Miss A-Yao back!" ”

"Lord Zhao doesn't have to worry about me, I'll just go back by myself."

"Jingzhao Mansion is not close to the Regent's Mansion, how can you let a girl's family go back alone in the middle of the night."

"No problem! Lord Zhao doesn't need to worry. ”

"......"

Ah Yao interrupted Zhao Shuangquan, "Ah Yao will retire first." ”

Seeing that A-Yao insisted on going back by herself, Zhao Shuangquan didn't say anything more.

The streets of Kyoto are silent in the middle of the night, and occasionally watchmen and night patrol officers pass by.

She quickened her pace and walked straight towards the Regent's Palace.

Passing through a small alley, she faintly saw a dark shadow flashing.

She stopped, glanced into the alley, and when she saw that it was empty, she thought she was dazzled, and continued on her way.

Walking to another alley, she saw another dark shadow.

This time, she turned and walked into the alley.

She clutched the dagger that Rong Qianhan gave her, and walked cautiously in the alley.

Sensing someone approaching behind her, she held her breath and watched for movement behind her.

Hearing the sound of breathing behind her, she jerked around and stabbed the dagger out of her hand.

The dagger slashed through the shadow's right arm, and the shadow took a few steps back, leaning against the stone wall to look at her.

"Who are you?"

The two stood very close, and Ah Yao smelled a smell of blood from this person.

Her instincts told her that this person was most likely the murderer of two people!

"You killed those two people before! Who are you? ”

The shadow didn't speak, but walked slowly towards her.

Seeing that the black shadow was about to approach, she threw out a few silver needles and pierced the black shadow's acupuncture points.

When the black shadow froze in place, she hooked her lips and sneered, "I see how you still run?" ”

As soon as she walked in front of the black shadow, the black shadow suddenly forced out the silver needle that sealed the acupuncture point and fled from the small alley.

Ah Yao immediately chased out of the alley, but there was no trace of the black shadow.

She exhaled heavily, looked around helplessly, and muttered quietly.

"Who is this person?"

Unable to find an answer, she had no choice but to continue her return to the Regent's Palace.

When Ah Yao returned to the Regent's Mansion, Rong Qianhan had not returned.

In order to tell him about the murder as soon as possible, she waited for him in Rong Qianhan's room, and fell asleep on the table after waiting.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Rong Qianhan stepped into the room, he saw A-Yao asleep on the table at a glance.

His eyes softened, and he walked over and picked up Ah Yao.

The sudden weightlessness of her body made Ah Yao suddenly open her eyes.

Seeing Rong Qianhan's familiar face, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Lord Wang, are you back?" ”

"Why don't you go to bed?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back."

A shallow smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said with a doting face: "Next time, you don't have to wait for this king." ”

"No, I have something important to tell you."

Her serious appearance instantly extinguished his tenderness.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, "If there is no business, you won't wait for this king?" ”

"I'll go back to my room if I'm not serious."

She replied truthfully, not noticing Rong Qianhan's mood change at all.

"Hurry up and let me down, Kyoto is ...... again"

Rong Qianhan put her on the bed and leaned in to block her mouth.

"Hmm...... ...... Kyoto"

didn't give her a chance to finish speaking, Rong Qian was stunned and pressed her on the bed to teach her a hard lesson.

Seeing that she had fallen asleep again, he dressed and walked out of the room.

He came to the front yard, and Song Yi stepped forward.

"Lord Wang, according to your instructions, my subordinates have carefully inspected that small alley, and there are no other traces except for the pile of messy footprints."

Rong Qianhan didn't say a word, twisted his eyebrows and pondered.

"Lord Zhao has found nothing over there, and he is in a hurry to see you."

"Hmm."

Rong Qianhan raised his eyes, "You keep an eye on that small alley, and pay attention to the suspicious people passing by that alley." ”

"Yes."

After Song Yi left, Rong Qianhan went to Jingzhao Mansion.

Ah Yao didn't wake up until late afternoon, got up and looked around the room, only to find that Rong Qianhan was not there.

Without time to think about it, she washed up and left the room.

After a brief lunch, she went to the front yard to find a porter.

"Where's the prince?"

The porter said truthfully: "The prince went to Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Knowing that Rong Qianhan had gone to Jingzhao Mansion, she was relieved.

She was just about to return to the backyard when a familiar voice came from outside the gate.

"Miss Yao."

She looked back and saw that it was Li Yun.

"Second prince? What are you doing here? ”

Li Yun looked anxious and said, "Linlin is sick, can you give her a look?" ”

He found out that Li Lin was sick early this morning, and he searched all the doctors in Kyoto, and all the doctors had nothing to do.

In the end, a doctor told him that Ah Yao of the Regent Mansion was Xiaoyaozi's apprentice, and he came to invite Ah Yao.

"The princess is so decent, how can she be sick?"

Li Yun shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, you go and take a look for her!" ”

"Hmm."

Ah Yao followed Li Yun to the imperial residence and entered Li Lin's room.

Li Lin closed her eyes tightly and lay on the bed with a pale face.

Ah Yao sat down in front of the bed and took Li Lin's pulse.

After a while, she frowned and withdrew her hand.

"How?" Li Yun asked anxiously.

"The princess is poisoned!"

"Poisoned!?"

This is the emperor's residence, the residence arranged by Rong Qianhan, the emperor came last night, how could someone poison here?

Without time to think about it, Li Yun fell on her again and asked, "Then do you have a way to cure Linlin?" ”

"I'll try."

"There's Miss Lao."

"The second prince is guarding the door, and no one can come in and disturb me."

"Hmm."

After Li Yun left, she approached Li Lin and gave Li Lin a needle.

As soon as a few needles were pierced, there was a sudden quarrel outside the door.

"A thief broke into our prince's room and stole the prince's valuables, I happened to chase here, I must go into the house to have a look."

Li Yun explained in a good voice: "Linlin is sick, and it is inconvenient to let Miss Wang enter the house now. ”

"What's the disease, you shouldn't be in the same league as that thief, right?"

"Miss Wang, where are these words? We've never seen any thieves. ”

"Then you get out of the way and let me go inside and have a look." Wang Qinghe did not forgive.

"This ......"

Li Yun looked at the closed door in embarrassment.

Wang Qinghe grabbed Li Yun's shoulder, "If the second prince insists on refusing to let me enter the house to find a thief, then I can only offend." ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Yun scolded angrily.

He has always been generous and good-tempered.

But now that Li Lin's safety is at stake, he can't be more good-tempered.

As if he didn't expect him to become so aggressive, Wang Qinghe was stunned for a moment.

"This is the room of the princess of Nanjiang, can you enter it if you say it? That's how Master Taifu taught you etiquette? ”

"You ......"

Li Yun flicked his sleeves coldly and turned sideways to her, "Miss Wang, please go back!" If you really suspect that the thieves have broken into Linlin's room, let your prince come in person. ”

Wang Qinghe clenched his fists tightly, and he was about to make a move on Li Yun.

At this time, Ah Yao pushed open the door and came out, just in time to catch Wang Qinghe's fist smashed at Li Yun.

"You ......"

Wang Qinghe was surprised, her martial arts were difficult to sew opponents in the barracks, but she was caught by an inconspicuous little girl!

Ah Yao raised her eyebrows, "Miss Taifu actually did something to the second prince, is this what your prince meant?" ”

"You don't talk nonsense!"

"That's what Taifu means?"

"I just want to catch the thief and find the lost property for our prince." Wang Qinghe explained.

"If you rashly make a move on the second prince, aren't you afraid of smearing you Xilin?"

"You ......"

A-Yao let go of Wang Qinghe, "The princess is sick, and it is inconvenient to let anyone into the house, so don't go in." ”

"The thief ......"

"I've seen it just now, there are no thieves in the princess's room, you can go."

Wang Qinghe looked unwilling, glared at her a few times, and left angrily.

When Wang Qinghe walked away, Li Yun apologized to her gratefully.

"Thank you, Miss A-Yao, for breaking the siege."

Ah Yao looked at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "The second prince has a noble status, why do you want to be bullied by the little lady Fu family?" ”

"It's not bullying, is it?" Li Yun smiled awkwardly.

It's almost time to do it to you, it's not bullying!

Ah Yao suddenly had nothing to say.

"Our southern Xinjiang is a small country, and my father told us to be kind to people outside, and I don't want to be enemies of others." Li Yun explained.

"The second prince is magnanimous, I'm afraid that some people will only get worse when they see you blindly tolerating it."

"Thank you, Miss A-Yao, for reminding me."

After a pause, Li Yun asked, "How is Linlin?" ”

"I gave her an injection, she has vomited out the poisonous blood in her body, this is the prescription I prescribed, you can catch the medicine back and give her the medicine on time."

"Thanks to Miss A-Yao, otherwise Linlin would have been unable to escape."

Ah Yao smiled at him and asked rhetorically, "Has the second prince checked why the princess was poisoned?" ”
