Warm fragrance cloud around

Cheng Jiangyun told Lin Junnuan in detail what he had heard from the emperor.

Although the emperor didn't tell him to keep the secrets, he didn't need to think about it. These royal secrets should never be spread out easily, but when facing Lin Junnuan, he didn't want to hide anything.

Gazing into her clear eyes, all his doubts and suspicions will disappear in an instant.

"I see."

After listening to Cheng Jiangyun's narration, Lin Junnuan let out a long sigh, "The mother and daughter of Princess Anhua really have exactly the same temperament."

"how you said that?"

"It's nothing." Lin Junnuan shook his head lightly, his whole body seemed a little listless: "Then you should go to Doctor Feng quickly. With the emperor's oral order, he should be able to confess frankly."

Cheng Jiangyun was surprised: "Aren't you going?" This is not in line with her usual personality. She used to rush to the forefront of any clues, and she was more active than him, the young minister of Dali Temple.

"I still have something to do, you go by yourself."

Lin Junnuan's mind didn't know where it went, waved casually at Cheng Jiangyun, and then left with his head down thoughtfully. Cheng Jiangyun opened his mouth, but still didn't stop him. Go to the residence of the imperial physician.

After walking a dozen steps or not holding back, Cheng Jiangyun secretly gestured and called out the guards who had been by his side: "Follow me and see what's going on with her."

The guards took the order to leave, and Cheng Jiangyun looked at the avenue ahead with people coming and going, with a sense of loss in his heart for no reason.After careful calculation, the relationship between him and her is actually no different from that of strangers on the side of the road. It is just a fate that passed by. After solving the case and going through this journey, it seems that there is no reason to walk together again.

Should they go their own way naturally, or make up a reason to walk with her logically?Cheng Jiangyun's eyes were downcast, and he was calculating.

"Young master, why are you here?"

When Lin Junnuan found Ahua, he was taking his brothers to unload goods at a car dealership. It happened that a convoy of ten or so people brought goods into Beijing. After a while, the big guys were tired, and they could have a glass of wine together after earning some money. .

Seeing Lin Junnuan coming, A Hua hurriedly asked her to go to a place with few people, "There is a lot of dust here, son, please stand far away."

Lin Junnuan patted the big wooden box they were carrying curiously, and sure enough, a layer of dust kicked up, causing her to sneeze several times.

"What's in this box?"

"I don't know," Ahua took out a handkerchief to wipe Lin Junnuan's face, hesitated for a moment, then put the handkerchief back, turned his head and continued to explain while busying: "The team leader said it was the books of his masters, The master and his family plan to enter Beijing next month, so they will bring the books here first."

Lin Junnuan subconsciously approached the box and smelled it. There was indeed a scent of books that had accumulated over the years, and there seemed to be some strange smell mixed in it. She couldn't tell it apart for a while, so she rubbed her nose and left without thinking too much. Open it so as not to hinder people from unloading.

Ahua helped people unload a large wooden box, patted the ashes off his body, and came to Lin Junnuan: "Young master is here today, do you have something to order?"

"No, no," Lin Junnuan waved his hands again and again, "During this period of time, everyone has helped a lot. Go and pay 20 taels of silver, order two tables of wine and vegetables, and add extra meals for everyone."

"I thank you, Young Master, on behalf of everyone," Ahua cupped his hands and made a bow, "The case is completely solved?"

"Not yet, but it's coming soon," Lin Junnuan sighed, "It's up to Cheng Shaoqing, we have nothing to do."

Ahua nodded, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, it should have been like this a long time ago, it's not a big deal for a group of street gangsters to spend all day around the murder case.

"By the way, let me ask you a question." Lin Junnuan frowned suddenly, "Do you know where people in this capital usually go if they want to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff?"

"Why did you ask this question, son?"

"It's nothing, it's just... a little bad feeling."

Ahua thought for a moment before saying: "Most of the mountain ranges in the suburbs of Beijing are fiefs and manors of high-ranking officials, and idlers can't easily get in and out. But when it comes to suicide by jumping off a cliff, there is a cliff of no return on Lingwu Mountain in the eastern suburbs. The cliff is so high and steep that it is often heard that there are people who commit suicide jumping off the cliff of no return to seek death.”

"Cliff of No Return?"

"Yes, it is said that most of the people who climbed that cliff did not come back, so the name Wuguiya came into being. The bottom of the cliff is shrouded in smoke all the year round. Some people say that it is the ghosts of the dead who linger."

Lin Junnuan pouted, "About the Cliff of No Return, are there any legends about idiots resenting women?"

"Indeed, sir, have you heard of it?"

"It is said that a long time ago, there was a lady from a rich family who fell in love with a poor scholar. Although the scholar was full of knowledge, unfortunately he had no luck. Knowing that the scholar is dead and has no intention of living alone, after a three-day hunger strike, taking advantage of his family's unpreparedness, he sneaks to the Cliff of No Return and follows the scholar to his death. The two are forced to separate before death, but they can stay together forever after death. It is also a beautiful story .”

Lin Junnuan couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Of course, such a "holy place for suicide" must be embellished with one or two lingering and tragic love stories. These are all routine operations, so don't take it seriously.

"From tomorrow onwards, you bring two smarter people to follow me. We will guard the Cliff of No Return for these two days."

Although Ah Hua was full of doubts, seeing that Lin Junnuan had no intention of explaining, he didn't ask any further questions, and just followed orders.

Lin Junnuan saw them unloading for a while, and was powerless to go up to help. The big wooden boxes were very heavy. At the end, she suddenly said to A Hua in a mysterious way: "The story just now actually has another story. A version, would you like to hear it?"

"Master, please speak."

"Miss and the scholar actually didn't die after jumping off the cliff, so they met at the bottom of the cliff. They didn't dare to go home because they were worried that their family members would hinder their marriage. A life of chopping wood and hunting."

"At the beginning, I was full of love and drinking water, and the small life was very sweet. After a few days, conflicts appeared. The scholar found that the young lady was so delicate, and she couldn't make a fire and cook. Without the superior living conditions, compared with the yellow face of the hunter's family It's not as good as a mother-in-law; the young lady found out that the scholar is so pretentious, the so-called economics are all on paper, and he yells that he is insulting when he cuts a few firewood, and finally he has to help the hunter..."

"and after?"

"Later, they lived in the mountains for a month, and all their money was spent. The hunter's daughter-in-law didn't want to waste her family's food to support idlers. The two of them went hungry twice, and finally had to go back to their respective homes in despair. In the future, when we mention each other, it seems like we are enemies."

Hearing Lin Junnuan's nonsense, A Hua didn't know what it was like, so he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Lin Junnuan shook her head, and concluded: "So, the money in the world is the biggest. Even if you really have a love that will last until death, you have to earn money to support yourself before you are eligible to talk about love."

A Hua lowered his head even more, and after a long silence, he said softly: "A Hua... I would like to follow the teaching of the young master."

"Oh, I'm just talking casually, don't worry," Lin Junnuan patted him on the shoulder boldly, "If you have a crush on any girl, tell me as soon as possible, son, I will definitely wrap you a big red envelope , I guarantee that you can raise your daughter-in-law to be fat and fat, and Mrs. Xiao is still waiting to hug her great-grandson."

Ahua thanked in a deep voice, with a bitter smile on his face.

***

It was not early when Cheng Jiangyun came out of Mrs. Feng's house, and spent another two hours sorting out the case information, staying up all night in Dali Temple, and the next day when the sky was slightly bright, he led a group of guards to the Princess's mansion.

He didn't cover up much when he entered and exited Imperial Physician Feng's residence. Presumably the news had already reached the eldest princess' ears, and the whole night was enough for her to find ways to deal with it.But at this time, the main door of the Princess's Mansion was wide open, and the usual guards were not there, only Madam Fu, who was dressed solemnly and exquisitely, stood guard at the door.

"Cheng Shaoqing is here, the master has been waiting for a long time."

Cheng Jiangyun nodded, and arranged for four people to guard the door, while he led the rest of the people into the mansion with Madam Fu.The servants who usually got up early and worked hard didn't see any of them at this time, and the whole princess' mansion seemed to be an empty garden. Although the garden was still full of colorful flowers, it looked a bit sad when no one came to admire it.

"The servants were dismissed by the master last night," Nanny Fu explained softly, "There are too many people talking, I'm afraid it will delay Shaoqing's work."

Princess Anhua was sitting in the main hall right now, dressed in a luxurious and dignified attire, much more domineering than her haggard appearance that day.

"Cheng Shaoqing is here, take a seat."

Cheng Jiangyun asked others to stand guard outside the hall, saluted earnestly, and then sat down on the right side of Princess Anhua.

"My next princess should..."

The eldest princess raised her hand suddenly to stop him from continuing to say: "There is no need to say more, the emperor's meaning is very clear to me, and there is nothing to justify."

She casually picked up a peony in the vase, and dusted the petals with her nails: "It's like this flower, it looks so beautiful in a vase, but once it gets bugs, of course you have to find them out one by one." die."

"I have been busy removing bugs, but I didn't realize that the flower was rotten from the core, so I had to throw away the whole stinky flower to save such a delicate and gorgeous vase from being wasted. Why not?"

Cheng Jiangyun lowered his head and did not answer her words, and brought the topic back to the case: "Leaving aside the death of Concubine Liu, the main thing I'm investigating is this serial murder case. I wonder where Princess Jiayi is?"

The eldest princess threw the flowers on the ground without hesitation, frowned slightly, and the aura around her suddenly weakened: "It's my fault, it's my negligence, all the punishments will be borne by me."

"Jiayi was young and ignorant, and she made a big mistake after listening to other people's advice. The emperor has always loved her, so he will definitely not blame her."

Cheng Jiangyun was unmoved: "In order to further find out the truth, I also hope to invite Princess Jiayi to come out to meet each other. This is also the emperor's will."

Princess Anhua half leaned on the soft couch, took a deep breath before she calmed down, and said sideways: "Nurse Fu, you go and ask Jiayi to come over, and let her not worry, I will be here for everything."

Madam Fu led the order to go out, and after a while, she ran back panting.

"Master, the princess is not in the room, nor in the mansion!"

"What did you say?" Princess Anhua turned pale with shock, and asked a few more words, her complexion suddenly turned pale, and she slumped on the couch limply.

At this moment, the guards sent by Cheng Jiangyun to follow Lin Junnuan hurried over.

"Master, Mr. Lin is at Wuguiya at this time, and Princess Jiayi is also here."
