Chapter 078 - With an attitude of being responsible for you
The figure in the moon-white robe was Chu Yan pretending to be "Ning Liulang"!
At this moment, King An's soul was at the railing, if Chu Yan took two more steps to this side, King An was afraid that he would be bounced away by the evil qi around him.
"Don't come here!" Shen Lingxi hurriedly shouted: "My Dharma is not finished yet, don't step on my formation." ”
Mu Huai'an: ???
Chu Yan: ......
At this moment, King An behind Shen Lingxi also recognized Chu Yan and exhaled in a low voice, "Huh? Sixth brother? How did the sixth brother come here? ”
Seeing that he was about to float in the direction of Chu Yan-
"Don't move!" In a hurry, Shen Lingxi shouted at him.
Mu Huai'an and Chu Yan followed her line of sight.
There is nothing there.
"Shen Lingxi......" Mu Huai'an put his hands around his chest, prolonged his voice, and gave her a "stop" look.
And Chu Yan, thoughtfully, only groaned for a few breaths, turned his head and walked down.
Seeing this, Shen Lingxi's heart was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly said to Mu Huai'an: "I just found that there are traces of iron claws and hooks on the railing on the west side. The murderer who threw the body must have climbed up from downstairs with an iron claw rope, and if you have nothing to do, you can go downstairs to look for clues. ”
"I have already checked the day of the accident." Mu Huai'an looked like he knew this, "The man's footprints were found in the flower bed downstairs, and Dali Temple is following this clue." ”
Shen Lingxi frowned.
Men's footprints?
The answer is not the same as what King An said.
Presumably it was a deliberate trick left by the murderer.
Shen Lingxi: "Have you searched the second floor?" The murderer carried so many body pieces and climbed from the first floor to the third floor, it was hard not to be discovered! ”
"You mean the man was hiding on the second floor beforehand?" Mu Huaian raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers, "That makes sense." ”
He turned around and walked downstairs.
Shen Lingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at King An, "Okay, the ritual has been completed, now you can leave this attic." ”
The young man smiled happily and bowed to Shen Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi instructed again, "Remember, if you meet His Royal Highness King Ning in the future, you must stay away from him, otherwise your soul will be hurt by his evil spirit." ”
Only then did King An understand why she would prevent herself from approaching, and secretly remembered it.
Shen Lingxi said goodbye to him and walked down the stairs.
The second floor is a resting place with many wings.
At this moment, the westernmost wing room was lit with candles, and Mu Huaian was searching inside with a group of officials.
"Chief, half a bloody footprint was found here." Suddenly, a messenger shouted, "It should be a woman's footprint......
Mu Huai'an was overjoyed: "Quick, stretch down the footprints and bring them back to the yamen." ”
Shen Lingxi stood at the top of the stairs, and when he heard this, there was no surprise on his face, and he walked directly down the first floor.
Downstairs, Chu Yan, who was pretending to be "Ning Liulang", stood in front of the incense case with his hands in his hands, and a pair of black eyes were looking at King An's spiritual position, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xu was because there was no one on the first floor, he didn't look like a scholar before, and his body inadvertently exuded a cold aura, a kind of indifference and alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away.
Sensing Shen Lingxi's footsteps, Chu Yan came back to his senses, his eyes drooped slightly, he cleaned up the aura around him, took half a step back, and saluted her, "Shopkeeper Shen, don't come to harm." ”
Shen Lingxi politely returned the salute and asked curiously, "Why did Ning Liulang suddenly come to King An's Mansion?" ”
"Not suddenly." Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at her, "I just happened to hear that the girl was here, so I wanted to come and confirm one thing with the girl face to face." ”
"What?" Shen Lingxi's face was a little vigilant.
After all, not long ago in Heming Tower, in front of the "guards", she asked Mu Huaian to tell "Ning Liulang" that she had no affection for him.
His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, shouldn't he feel that he has lost face, and today he specially used the identity of "Ning Liulang" to ask her about the guilt of Xingshi, right?
Chu Yan guessed what she was thinking at a glance, and she almost laughed angrily.
He took a few steps back, moving further away from her.
Under this identity, the tone that has always been gentle is also a lot colder: "I heard from the guy that the girl went to Heming Tower today to apply for embroidery." I came to ask the girl, to complete the embroidery, you have to go to the palace for a while, I don't know if the girl is willing? ”
"The owner of the gold reward embroidery girl in the Heming Tower, it turned out to be you?" Shen Lingxi's face could not hide the look of surprise.
"Exactly down there." Chu Yan half-lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, "That embroidery is a few months ago, Gonggong Li, who was next to the Queen Mother, went to Sucheng and bought it from Yao Niang with a lot of money, and planned to make a shroud." The embroidery girl of the Shangyi prison couldn't learn, and Yao Niang disappeared again, so she handed it over to find another embroidery girl to enter the palace. ”
Shen Lingxi finally realized why Xuetuan specially took her to Heming Tower.
It turned out that it was something in the Queen Mother's palace.
Thinking of what Fang Cai was thinking, Shen Lingxi's expression was a little confused, and he smiled, "I see." ”
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Seeing this, Chu Yan's dark eyes were slightly deep.
"The girl asked Mu Shaoqing to tell me before, and I already know it."
He said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, the girl was wrong before, so she would mention this matter to Mu Shaoqing with a 'responsible' attitude towards the girl." Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and neither you nor I mean that to each other, the girl doesn't have to take the matter to heart anymore. ”
He deliberately bit the word "responsible", which made Shen Ling's mouth suddenly.
"It turns out that Lang Jun is just to be 'responsible'." Shen Lingxi smiled and nodded, his expression was much more relaxed, "Then I'll rest assured." ”
This answer made Chu Yan's eyes a little deeper.
He didn't expect that one day, he would become a burden to her like Mu Huai'an, making her "uneasy".
No, he is not as good as Mu Huai'an.
After all, Mu Huai'an is a "best friend".
And he just met in the water.
"Girl, have you thought about it? Would you like to enter the palace? Chu Yan put on a businesslike attitude.
"Sharing worries for the Queen Mother is within the scope of our Great Zhou people, and it is naturally no problem to enter the palace." Shen Lingxi cleared his throat and asked, "I just don't know, if you want to leave the palace ...... something?"
Chu Yan: "I will apply for the girl and Father-in-law Li in the future, and you can rest for two days for five days." ”
"Okay, yes, I'll go." Shen Lingxi replied crisply.
Chu Yan got her reply and politely said goodbye to her.
"Lang Jun wait." Shen Lingxi stopped him and asked the doubts in his heart, "Lang Jun knew very early that I was the only one who could embroider this double-sided embroidery, why didn't you look for me directly, but spend a lot of money in Heming Tower?" ”
"The matter of embroidering the handkerchief in the Hidden Moon Pavilion involves the people in the palace, if you rashly invite the girl into the palace, you are afraid that you will be worried about your life, so you have not invited the girl." Chu Yan replied truthfully, "Now that the person is dead, the girl should not be in trouble when she enters the palace." ”
Shen Lingxi came to Mu Huai'an this time, originally for the matter of embroidering the handkerchief, and when he heard this, he asked curiously, "Who is the person in the palace who is involved in the Hidden Moon Pavilion?" ”
"This person, the girl just met ...... a few days ago" Chu Yan looked at her and said two words meaningfully: "Yuzhu." ”
