Li Huaiyun bowed and saluted, and asked in a sincere tone, "Your Majesty, is this decision too hasty, and it was decided rashly without the consent of the wooden kite!" ”

"Besides, people are living well, why entrust them?"

Emperor Zhou Sheng explained, "Isn't this just to fulfill you? ”

"The emperor Mingjian, the subordinates and the princess are only in an employment relationship, there is no such relationship, they are absolutely innocent!"

"You don't need to be so quick to get rid of the relationship, I'm not against you."

It's endless! Why don't you believe me! Li Huaiyun explained again, "Your Majesty, we really don't matter! ”

Seeing that the person in front of him vigorously denied it, Emperor Zhou Sheng asked in a little surprise, "But she is obedient to you, you know, even if it is me, it is difficult to move her!" ”

"That's just because she needs my help to find out the truth about the princess's death."

Emperor Zhou Sheng looked at the young man in front of him, he couldn't imagine that this person was so confident and able to find out the truth, more than ten years ago, this case was an unsolved case in the eyes of everyone!

Neither the Criminal Department nor Dali Temple could find the truth of this case, and Mu Kite always thought that it was me, the emperor, in order to shield the murderer, otherwise they would come to investigate.

But the truth is that no one can find out the real culprit behind it.

"Are you really confident that you can find out the murderer in this case?"

Li Huaiyun thought for a moment, "Yes, as long as the body is dissected tomorrow, the murderer will be found!" ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng suddenly became more curious, and asked, "I heard Si Zheng talk about you, I am very strange, where did you learn this?" ”

Li Huaiyun explained, "My aunt is a doctor, so I have been exposed to this aspect. ”

"I see! I'm looking forward to finding out the murderer, but before that, you have to promise me one thing. ”

"I don't know what?"

"After finding the murderer, I have to do my best to stop the wooden kite, this girl has a bad temper, I am afraid that she will do something out of the ordinary."

"Please rest assured, the emperor will definitely stop her!"

"Then I will be relieved! That's right! I ask you again, if the princess promised to marry you, would you be willing! ”

Li Huaiyun immediately bent down and clenched his fists, "Please ask the emperor to take back his order." ”

"You don't want to!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Zhou Sheng frowned, and looked at Li Huaiyun with puzzled eyes, if this was replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have been grateful, after all, it was a matter of ascending to the sky in one day, but this person refused, but it was a little interesting.

"What do you mean by that? The princess is not worthy of you? ”

"Or do you think there are other better options on your terms?"

"Not really, for me, the princess is indeed the best choice, but she is the helmsman of the Demon Slayer, and we have no such relationship!"

"As long as I say no, it's fine!"

Li Huaiyun explained, "The emperor doesn't know, the little parents died at the hands of demons more than 20 years ago, and I swore that I would avenge their two elders, so before the big revenge was avenged, the little one didn't dare to marry the princess." ”

He wondered in his heart, what did this emperor think again? Why do you have to marry the wooden kite to me, because you want me to look at this woman like a giant baby?

This woman is a princess at any time, but her temper is not very good, in case of a quarrel in the future, he has not returned the favor, after all, behind the other party is the royal family, this condition is too strong for him!

"Hmmm! It is an ambitious man! ”

"Besides, the princess is not interested in me, she is looking for me, just wanting me to help him investigate the case."

After listening to this, Emperor Zhou Sheng thought carefully for a while and nodded, "Okay!" I know what you think, but you still have a chance, and I can see that the wooden kite has a different attitude towards you. ”

Li Huaiyun could only laugh indifferently at this, not knowing what to say.

"Then put this matter aside for the time being," Emperor Zhou Sheng thought for a moment and instructed, "You must help me take care of the wooden kite!" This woman is so stubborn that she often gets me into trouble!

I saw that when she talked to you, she had that special attitude, and the relationship between the two of you was not ordinary. ”

"I hope you can take good care of her on weekdays! If you have any requests, you can try to have someone pass me on to you, and the palace will deliver what you need. ”

Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted, "Please rest assured, the little one will definitely take care of the wooden kite." ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng took out a thumb-sized, fiery red jade pendant from his waist and handed it over, "This is a jade pendant from the Red Refining Mountain in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after a long time of cutting and carving, there is this rare treasure, you just need to show this thing to the soldiers outside the imperial city, and it will take you to a place, where someone will pick you up, when the time comes, if there is any situation or need, just tell that person!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Huaiyun took the jade pendant, this pale red jade pendant is engraved with the word Zhou, the surface of the jade is warm, the light transmittance is very good, and it is also carved with moire.

He never thought that when he came to the palace this time, he would be able to get a jade pendant from the emperor himself, and the value of this jade alone was not expensive, let alone being able to pass on words.

Li Huaiyun bowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out the real murderer!" ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng nodded slightly, "Hmm! In the evening, I went to the house at the back of the courtyard with the wooden kite and had dinner together. ”

"Ahh Li Huaiyun was a little surprised, "Your Majesty! That's not the place where you have dinner with the prince and the princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for an outsider to go there! ”

"Suitable!" Emperor Zhou Sheng laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder, "I chatted with you again just now, and found that your ideological realm is quite high, and it is also late to let you go there this time, it is worth a drink between the two of us!" ”

"By the way, help me wait and see, that prince has the appearance of an emperor."

"This..." Li Huaiyun hurriedly refused, "Your Majesty, what you are talking about now is probably not something that people of our class can talk about, and please go find Shangshu!" Prime Minister, these powerful people, they should know better than I do this, and they are more qualified than me to do something. ”

When the emperor said this, did he want to abolish the crown prince?

"You don't need to be too alarmed, I'm just asking you to give me an opinion!"

Li Huaiyun lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of thing, I really can't give advice below, I don't know the prince and those people at all, but I still have an idea below!" ”

"Say!"

"According to the rules handed down by my ancestors, I have only one opinion, Lichang!"

Emperor Zhou Sheng looked to the side, the expression on his face was flat, obviously not interested in this response, "What you said is the same as them!" ”

Li Huaiyun knew that he couldn't say anything more, although he just gave an opinion, but he didn't talk nonsense, this is the foundation of the country, and he can't say anything at his level.

Although this answer was too mediocre, Emperor Zhou Sheng was still quite optimistic about Li Huaiyun, and felt that this young man was different from others!

"That's it! I won't force you to say anything, let's go to dinner together, and when we finish eating, I will naturally give an order, and you can also be responsible for investigating this case. ”

Li Huaiyun immediately thanked him, "Emperor Xie, his subordinates will definitely find out the murderer!" ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng put his hands behind his back and turned to look at the night sky that was already gradually darkening, "After finding the murderer, remember not to publicize it loudly!" This case is ugly! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"You go find the wooden kite first, and I go and change my clothes."

Li Huaiyun got up and walked to the house over there, and when he crossed the path on the grass and came to the front of the house, he saw the wooden kite standing at the door waiting for him.

"Princess!" He waved his hand at the wooden kite, and then glanced behind her, the room behind him, the exterior of the room was quite delicately decorated, the top was glazed tiles, and the wood on the door was made of high-quality agarwood.

Looking from the window on the side, there are many desks inside, and many princes and princesses are sitting at the tables, patiently waiting for the emperor to come.

From time to time, there was a cacophony inside, and the people inside were talking loudly.

Mu Kite stood in the corridor outside the door and looked at Li Huaiyun, "It's so late, what did the faint king say to you?" ”

"Huh!" Li Huaiyun thought quickly in his heart, what he could say and what he couldn't say, but such a move immediately aroused Mu Kite's doubts.

"What's wrong? Can't even say anything about me? Don't forget, I brought you into the palace in the first place! ”

"Wood kite, you misunderstood, I was just thinking about what to tell you!"

"What's there to think about!"

Li Huaiyun smiled faintly, "There's really nothing to think about, that's it, the man you keep shouting about the faint king, care about everything about you!" But you still have a lot of prejudice against him. ”

"Concerned? When my mother died without turning a blind eye, he cared? I've been in the Demon Slayer Division for so many years, and he cares? Thinking of this, Mu Kite was even more angry, she was also very angry, this man actually dared to speak to the faint king!

"Maybe he's having some trouble! And you can't tell anyone else," Li Huaiyun explained, "as the Son of Heaven, he must always maintain this kind of majesty, which is also quite a common thing!" ”

"You've only been talking to him for a while, and you're completely speaking for him!"

Li Huaiyun shrugged his shoulders, "Listen to me, don't be so extreme!" ”

"I'm not extreme!"

Why is it so hard to speak! Li Huaiyun thought to himself, just like killing his father and enemy, is it necessary?

Mu Kite said with a complaining face, "You know that I am very disgusted with that faint king, don't say good things for him in front of me in the future!" ”

"You're going to have to try it too..."

"Shut up! If it weren't for your investigation of the case, I would have let you out a long time ago! Hurry up and get in, the faint king will be here soon. ”

The wooden kite turned around and pushed open the door, and walked in with Li Huaiyun, the candles placed in this room were quite bright, and there was a desk in front of each prince and princess, with something filling the stomach on it.

There was a lot of talk in the whole room, and it seemed that everyone was talking about this princess who had not been home for a long time.

"Fourteenth sister!" The Seven Princes got up from their seats, walked up, and led them to the corner.

The wooden kite didn't care too much about this, and Li Huaiyun was also glad that it was this child and would not receive more attention for it.

Li Huaiyun explained: If you also use a simple way, how much it would be!

"Thank you Seventh Prince for explaining!" Li Huaiyun sat at the table, unaffected by anything in the slightest.

At this time, someone stood up, and then followed one of the princes to add such an order.

The Seventh Prince was quite enthusiastic about this, and called a wooden kite, "Fourteenth sister!" You haven't been here in a long time! ”

"yes!" Mu Kite replied coldly, "Brother Qi has been doing well lately!" ”

The Seventh Prince replied with a smile, "Very good! ”
