Tang riddles

There are many women in the Tang Dynasty who bravely chase their lovers.But Yang Yuhuan is really the No.1 woman who can so blatantly express her admiration to the current king above the main hall.Her extremely bold approach, almost to the point of deviant, made everyone in the hall dumbfounded.

What kind of woman is this? She was originally the most neglected and humble woman, but now she has become the object of everyone's attention.After Yang Yuhuan finished expressing her admiration, she also blushed and bowed her head in silence. She looked like a really young girl with a heart full of love.

Li Longji, the newly bereaved concubine, had no thought in this regard at all.He loves Concubine Wu Hui deeply. Concubine Wu Hui just passed away. He thought that he might not be able to recover for a long time, but he didn't expect that just after Concubine Hui left, he would meet such a strange woman.Could it be that she is the reincarnation of Concubine Hui?Why do you look so similar to Concubine Hui?The small appearance of her every move and gesture is really like that of Concubine Hui when she was young, she was small and gentle, and her eyes were as charming as silk.Li Longji loves this kind of woman very much, she is soft and caring, if she knows poetry and rhythm, it will be even more wonderful.

He suddenly let out a long sigh, Concubine Hui, could it be that your spirit in the sky has the knowledge to attract such a woman, and is it afraid that I will be too sad and lonely?Could it be that the fragrance that appeared in the palace when Concubine Hui passed away was some kind of hidden guidance?At this moment, Li Longji was a little dazed.

But the emperor is an emperor after all, Li Longji will not be disturbed by strange thoughts, he still has to find out what should be investigated, and he will not be simplified by this little lady's few words.He could see that the little lady chose this opportunity to express her feelings to herself, in fact, to a large extent to excuse Li Jinyue.What is the relationship between her and Li Jinyue?Li Longji knows his daughter well. As a daughter, she likes women far more than men. A woman like Yang Yuhuan has been hidden in the mansion by her for such a long time. Li Longji would not believe that Li Jinyue hadn't been tempted at all. .

Li Longji was also very concerned about the handkerchief embroidered with "You were born before I was born, and I was old when I was born. You hate me for being born late, but I hate you for being born early". Is it Li Jinyue or himself?He intuitively thought that there might be more possibilities for himself.After all, the age gap between Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan is less than "unborn" and "old". If Li Jinyue and this girl were really in love, they would have been close to her as a concubine long ago, and they would not wait until now. , Let this girl express her heart to herself.

Li Longji did not directly respond to Yang Yuhuan's confession, instead he sat down by the dragon bed, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Since Miss Yang is going to testify for Jin, it seems that it is necessary to clarify the time. Last night, when did Jin leave the mansion, when did he appear at Guangshun Gate, and when did he appear?" At the gate of the city, it must be accurate to the quarter. In addition, the fragrance in the hall is still an unsolved mystery and must be thoroughly investigated. Shen Sizhi..." He suddenly called Shen Sui's name.

Shen Sui cupped his hands and replied: "This humble minister is here."

"What do you think of the case so far?" he asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have initially inspected the scene, and now I have an unformed idea. The key to this case is the exact cause of Concubine Hui's death and the whereabouts of Her Excellency Princess Jin. Especially the exact cause of Concubine Hui's death, Only by confirming this point can the case be initially clarified and we can move on to the next step.”

The sage frowned and asked, "What does the Qing family mean to examine Concubine Hui's body?"

Shen Sui hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I don't dare, but if your Majesty really wants to find out the truth, this step is indispensable. Only when the exact cause of death of Concubine Hui is confirmed, can the exact time of death be determined, and only in this way can the comparison be made. The moment of the whereabouts of Your Excellency Princess Jin is to confirm whether there is time to commit the crime. Besides, this case is full of doubts. First of all, the fragrance in the palace does not represent everything. The human sense of smell is far less sensitive than that of dogs. Our sense of smell distinguishes exactly the same smell. Perhaps in the eyes of dogs there is a world of difference. This is the first point. Your Majesty must not be fooled by the treacherous schemes of conspirators. In fact, simply think about it. If Your Excellency the Princess of Jin really wanted to kill Concubine Hui, why would she enter it herself late at night? Palace, and still leave such clear and directional evidence in the palace, making himself doubted? This is the second point.

The minister inspected the scene and came to the conclusion that if he wanted to murder Concubine Hui, he could not avoid the two maids who had been guarding the palace, and the testimony of these two maids showed that no one had entered the palace last night.In this way, Your Excellency the princess has never entered the bedroom of Concubine Hui, so how did she murder Concubine Hui?This is the third point.Perhaps, there are other long-distance ways to murder Concubine Hui. In this case, there is no need for the princess to enter the palace in person late at night.The contradiction between each other is really too strange, I thought that there must be a bigger mystery in it. "

In fact, Li Longji also thought of the points Shen Sui said, but because the evidence was too clear, he had to arrest Li Jinyue for interrogation.Originally, he wanted to ask about Li Jinyue's whereabouts last night, but his daughter, who has a bad temper, directly angered him afterwards, which is why the scene just happened.Now that Shen Sui clearly pointed out this point, he also fell into thinking.

Taking advantage of this gap, Han Xiu, who stood aside and watched coldly without saying a word, finally came out, cupped his hands and said:

"I want to report to Your Majesty, I believe that Shen Sizhi's words are reasonable. The facts of the case can only be clarified when many details are ascertained. It is too early to convict. I do not believe that Your Excellency Princess Jin will personally enter the palace to murder Concubine Hui in the middle of the night." .”

"Hmph, maybe she just took advantage of your mentality to deliberately enter the palace late at night and leave traces, so she can be exonerated." Xiao Song continued.

"Xiao Xiang's words are really heart-breaking." Han Xiu said indifferently.

"No matter how you say it, the person most suspected at the moment is indeed Her Excellency Princess Jin, this is an indisputable fact." Xiao Song said again.

"I don't know who arranged this so-called indisputable fact." Han Xiu looked at him and said.

"Okay!" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the saint immediately stopped him.Why did he find such two prime ministers to assist the government? Thinking of the perfect match between Yao Chong and Song Jing back then, he couldn't find it even with a lantern.

"Ming Gui! You are in charge of this case, and Shen Sui is the assistant. Give me the answer within three days! Jin State, during this period of time, you are confined in the mansion and are not allowed to go out. General Yang will take care of the princess. That's it. Let's all go down." The saint ordered in a disturbed voice.

Ming Gui and Shen Sui clasped their hands together and said: "This humble minister leads the decree."

Immediately, Yang Shuo, the Great General of the Jinwu Guard on the right, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will lead the decree!"

The rest of the people also bowed down one by one. The saint looked at the maids behind him and said to Gao Lishi:

"Aon, you are in charge of interrogating these people."

"The old slave understands." Gao Lishi bowed.

A complicated palace trial ended, and the crowd slowly exited the palace.The sage finally sat on the top of the hall, propped his elbows on a hidden pillow, and supported his head with his fists. A pair of sharp phoenix eyes kept staring at Yang Yuhuan who was slowly following the crowd out of the hall. Yang Yuhuan bowed her head and looked humble. Respectfully.Until she exited the hall, she raised her eyes suddenly, then glanced at the saint again, then turned and left in a hurry.Li Longji smiled suddenly, this little lady was very smart, she almost never raised her head to look at him, except for those two glances, the timing was perfect.

interesting……

Gao Lishi looked at his expression, nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

After leaving the Hall of Yanying, Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan were going to return directly to the residence under the escort of Yang Shuo, while Ming Gui approached Shen Sui to discuss investigating the case, and the group left in two groups.The remaining longevity king Li Mao, left chancellor Han Xiu, right chancellor Xiao Song and Huangmen servant Li Linfu all had their own affairs, bid farewell hastily and parted ways.

There were so many people, Shen Sui didn't have any more communication with Li Jinyue, they exchanged glances and then separated.Li Jinyue's face was tense, without any expression, and she couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling in her heart.But Shen Sui only needs to think about it briefly, and he knows how uncomfortable she is now.She glanced at Yang Yuhuan again, but the girl didn't look at her and kept her head down.Shen Sui no longer knew whether he was right or wrong in letting Yang Yuhuan come to Li Jinyue's side.Did she harm Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan, or did she help them?The world is impermanent, and it is meaningless to regret it now.Shen Sui never likes to look backwards, she has always looked forward to the future without going forward.

The top priority is to find out the cause of Concubine Wu Hui's death. The sage was vague about the autopsy, neither affirming nor denying it. Shen Sui must let Ming Gui try his best to fight for it.She watched Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan go away, and then followed Minggui to Dali Temple.

On the other side, Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan returned to the Jin Princess Mansion in Changlefang under the escort of the Jinwu Guards of the brigade in silence.At the door, Xu Jie had been waiting for a long time.When they entered the mansion, they only greeted Xu Jie with a nod.Seeing that they all came back intact, Xu Jie felt relieved.Yang Yuhuan went straight into the mansion and walked along the corridor to her own house.Li Jinyue and Xu Jie briefly explained a few words, asking her to be in charge of receiving the Jinwu Guard, and then quickly took steps to chase Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Yuhuan walked fast in front, and Li Jinyue chased after him with big strides.After turning the second corner of the corridor, Li Jinyue was already very close to Yang Yuhuan.She opened her mouth and called out:

"Yuhuan!"

Yang Yuhuan acted as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to walk forward in silence.

"Yang Yuhuan! Stop!" Li Jinyue shouted, then stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Yang Yuhuan was pulled by her, and turned around involuntarily to face her.Li Jinyue found that she was crying so badly that her face was full of tears.

Completely involuntarily, Li Jinyue hugged her into her arms and tightened her arms tightly.Yang Yuhuan stuck to her arms without moving.Li Jinyue could feel the trembling of her body when she sobbed, and every time, it crushed her heart a little bit.

"I won't...I won't let him touch you." Li Jinyue said softly.

Yang Yuhuan didn't answer for a while.The two hugged each other in silence for a moment, Yang Yuhuan slowly pushed Li Jinyue away, she wiped away the tears on her face, and said slowly:

"What ability do you have to do this? Now you are confined here, and you can't protect yourself."

"But I won't let him touch you." Li Jinyue insisted stubbornly.

"Why?" Yang Yuhuan looked at her, questioning in her red and swollen eyes, "Do you love me?"

"I..." Before Li Jinyue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Yang Yuhuan:

"Leave me alone. Right now, it is the best choice for me to enter the palace. I can help you." As soon as she said this, the two of them fell into silence again.

After a while, Li Jinyue said in a deep voice:

"Yuhuan, you have been with me for nearly five years. You should be very clear about what kind of person I am. I can pay a heavy price to realize my ideals, but I have my principles and bottom lines for some things, and I will never let you down. I will give in. I will say it again for the last time, I will not let you enter the palace, let alone let him touch you. Whether I love you or not, I will not."

"You can give me to King Shou, but not a saint?" Yang Yuhuan asked her back.

Li Jinyue was momentarily at a loss for words, and looked at her anxiously.

Yang Yuhuan sighed softly, suddenly stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand to hook her neck, and kissed her lips.This kiss leaves as soon as it is touched, like a butterfly fluttering around.

Then she took a step back slightly, lowered her eyes and said:

"You don't love me, you just pity me. I don't need your pity."

After that, she turned and walked away quickly.
