Sun Shining had always listened to him, and didn't ask much at all, he took two steps back and looked at the pool vigilantly: "The pool water is poisonous?" ”

"Once it comes into contact with pool water, it will slowly corrode." He turned his head to look at her, and said a lot of offense, his hand was very fast, and he pulled down the earring on her left, which was a small pearl embedded in silver, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the earring fell into the pool water, and there was no splash, ripple, "You come and see." ”

Sun Shining stepped forward curiously, the blue pool water seemed to have vitality, forming a series of bubbles, holding the earrings a little below the water surface, and then the unthinkable happened, the earrings shrunk significantly, as if they were eaten and eaten by invisible insects, until they disappeared completely, and it only took about half a pillar of incense.

She raised her head blankly and looked at Shen Nianyi: "What about my earrings?" ”

"It's gone." Shen Nianyi said in a low voice, "Do you want to try again?" ”

Sun Shining hurriedly shook her head, although her earrings were not worth anything, she couldn't withstand such a waste, and after listening to Shen Nianyi's explanation, she realized that this pool water is a special strong acid, no matter what is placed in it, whether fast or slow, it will be corroded and wiped out.

"If I tell you this, you may be afraid, and if you say no now, I can take you back the way you came, as if nothing had happened." Shen Nianyi bit every word very hard.

Sun Shining was a little confused, he brought her here, looked at a dangerous pool, and said cautiously, what is it for, almost at the same time, a thought jumped out of her mind, and she couldn't help but put her hands on the edge of the pool, and then looked into the depths of the center: "Is there also a seamless pool in the pool?" ”

Shen Nianyi still looked at her, and he didn't know whether it was approval or worry in his eyes: "You have always been able to understand it by pointing to the end." ”

"If my hands go in, won't there be any bones left?" When Sun Shining said this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, as if he was telling a joke that had nothing to do with him.

"I'm not going to let you go into the pool with your bare hands." Shen Nianyi immediately shouted, "I won't sacrifice you in vain." ”

"You didn't ask me to come here, did you?" Sun Shining was still laughing, in addition to laughing, she didn't know what kind of other expressions she could make, she suddenly thought that time, he took her to the morgue of Dali Temple, and pressed her face heavily among those disgusting corpses, she had to identify the abnormality in it, she struggled hard but couldn't break free from his hand.

Although the case was later solved and the murderer was brought to justice, she had nightmares for many days, and even ate vegetarian food for a month, but she still couldn't swallow it, she didn't feel the need to tell him personally, because he was not a selfish person, and she was definitely not, she thought that he did the right thing and was very good, if it wasn't forcible to come, the case would have dragged on, and of course more innocent people would have lost their lives.

She asked directly and transparently, and she didn't give Shen Nian the slightest way out, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, he actually had a day when he was stretched, still in front of Sun Shining, but then he felt that she spread out her words and said, still for him, and didn't want to see him embarrassed and struggle.

He entered the court as an official, and sometimes she was more restrained and embarrassed than the ordinary people.

Although, in front of the Son of Heaven, everyone must obey orders, but she has to stay away, just like the old saying goes, the emperor is far away, and she doesn't have to face it directly.

He sent the secret letter taken out of the seamless clothes into the palace, the emperor did not go directly to pick it up, but quietly looked at the pages lying in the sterling silver tray, in the imperial study, there were only two monarchs and ministers, and there was a very light breathing sound, and the two eunuchs on duty were thrown out one step earlier.

"You haven't touched the pages directly." After a long time, the emperor asked.

"Nope." Shen Nianyi knew that the emperor's words were not finished, and there was a continuation later, sure enough, the emperor not only saw these papers, but also knew the origin of them, the paper and the ink of writing itself are not special, but the two together become highly poisonous, as long as someone doesn't care about touching the paper directly with their fingers, the toxin will pass through the skin of the fingertips, erode into the body, the poisoned person will not notice, it only takes an hour, and when the toxin enters the heart, there is no way to diagnose and treat, and a life is whimpered.

"You have always been cautious and careful, you shouldn't make such a mistake, this is still a secret thing made in the big interior, the widow personally delivered it to He Qing's family back then, and now the object is still there, but the person is dead." The emperor's gaze stayed on the page, "Although I know that there is a list in it, but the widow is a little curious. ”

Shen Nianyi knew that since the emperor could tell the origin of this thing, there must be a way to crack it, and sure enough, the emperor opened the drawer at hand and took out a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings, which were very similar to the one Qi He took out at that time, he didn't look up, and asked lightly: "I have seen this glove?" ”

"I've seen it in a servant." Shen Nianyi didn't mean to hide, he was just surprised, where did the one in Qi He's hand come from.

"A servant?" The emperor chuckled and said, "There is such an interesting thing, what a coincidence, the person who gave the widow this pair of gloves, mentioned by the way, he once made another defective product, and gave it to a person who needs it, although it is not as good as this one in the hands of the widow, handed over to the hand, but it is just right, and the widow also saw that the bag you used to hold these papers is also a good thing, and it is also a good thing, that is also a fake?" ”

"Exactly."

"What is his name, he must be an outstanding man."

"The surname is the same as the river."

The emperor's face changed slightly, and all of them fell on Shen Nian's eyes: "I have never heard of it, and I am unknown." ”

"He just wants to live in a small place and live for the rest of his life, so the emperor will not hear this person's name."

"If you don't have big ambitions, you don't have to learn from them." The emperor wanted to try to put on gloves.

"Your Majesty, let Weichen come." Shen Nianyi said.

"It's okay for you to come, it's okay to show you this list." The emperor handed over the gloves, "If you are poisoned, the widow will bury you in the imperial tomb." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Nianyi quickly put on his gloves, took out the pages on the silver plate, opened them, and never stopped at the words for a moment.

"Look, the widow can trust you, and there is also a ready-made pen and paper here, so you might as well copy the list for the widow." The emperor advised, "Just write on the rice paper next to it, the widow looked at the case file last time, and felt that your words were getting more and more sophisticated, and writing a few strokes in front of him also opened the widow's eyes." ”

Shen Nianyi didn't have any reason to refuse, he opened the page, read one first, then took off his gloves, took a pen to write, and transcribed several names, repeating it several times before the list was re-recorded.

"The words are really good." The emperor picked up the list and said casually, "Set the original on fire." ”

Shen Nianyi put the paper back on the silver plate, held the candle in his hand, walked to the door and opened it, and then walked straight to the garden, under a bush of begonia flowers, lit a corner with a candle, he avoided the wind, waited for the paper to burn into charcoal, and then brought the silver basin back to the imperial study intact.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair: "Or are you thoughtful, are you afraid that the smoke that burns will also be poisonous?" ”

"Yes, I heard the emperor say that it is poisonous and ferocious, so you must be careful." As soon as Shen Nian crushed the ashes in front of the emperor, there was no possibility of leaking it, so he took off his gloves and wanted to return them.

"You don't have to return this thing to the widow, you have other uses for keeping it." The emperor said slowly.

Shen Nianyi didn't raise his head, his eyes were firmly fixed on the color of the carpet under his feet, for fear that if his eyes met, he would reveal more thoughts.

"Stay with you, and let the one who opens it seamlessly take out the object as well." What the emperor said was very light, as if he was talking about eating a dim sum for the imperial meal, and even with a little smile, "Shen Aiqing will not say to the widow, it is you who have opened the seamless." ”

Shen Nianyi still hung his head and said nothing.

"What, you're trying to excuse that person?" The emperor took a sip of the teacup, "If you want to prevaricate the widow, you can not bring these to the widow, anyway, the He Qing family is dead from top to bottom, and only a child who doesn't know anything is left." ”

"Wechen understands that this matter is very important." Shen Nianyi's voice was heavy and sticky.

"So, are you afraid that the person who opened it will be in danger, and feel unworthy for him?" The corners of the emperor's mouth are still rolled, but the bottom of his eyes is cold like frost, inch by inch, "You also know that the value of the objects you want to take is far above this list, since you have revealed clues, you should be mentally prepared, if not, the widow will have to find this person in his lifetime, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep and eat." ”

"Your Majesty, please allow Weichen for a while." Yes, Shen Nianyi guessed it, but the situation was pressing, he couldn't hide it, let alone hide Sun Shining under his wings forever.

"Give you five days, or the man will finish this, or if not, send him to the palace, the widow would love to meet for a while." The emperor's words are undoubted, "He Qing's family sacrificed fifty lives of the whole family for the sake of not losing an inch of land and money at the border of this dynasty, is Shen Aiqing reluctant to be the one next to him?" ”

There are some things that you want to hide from the emperor, but you can't hide them, Shen Nianyi believes very much what the senior who brought him into the industry said, there is nothing in the world that the emperor doesn't know, only things that the emperor doesn't want to know.

The emperor's tone is quite relaxed now, there is no need for him to force himself into a corner, there is no way to retreat, as long as he moves forward, then he should be able to protect Sun Shining.

Now, face to face with Sun Shining, eye to eye, her words broke his silent mask, since he had guessed, speaking outright was the best choice: "This is the edict of the emperor today, it is necessary to open the lock in the pool and take out the contents inside." ”

"So, can I know what's hidden inside?" Sun Shining's smile was elegant, not at all like a person who wanted to do such a dangerous thing.
