September is full of flowers

Today's weather seemed to suit the mood of the people in the Taige, the sun shone warmly in the sky, illuminating the dark corners of the Taige.

Shen Man, Lian Yi, and Qing Ning were waiting in the living room. Tang Jiuyue heard that she hated wearing clothes all night, so she went to change them.It doesn't matter that they finally caught the suspect after all these hours.

The suspect kneeling on the ground kept his head down so that no one could see his face clearly, his hands were chained behind his back, and the clothes on his body were still Li Xi's. It doesn't fit very well.

Lian Yi tilted her head and stuffed a pear into her mouth, puffed her cheeks and mumbled, "Why do I look at this person as if I've seen him before."

Shen Man hurriedly stood between her and the suspect, and asked Lian Yi mysteriously, "Could it be someone Chen Zhou met?" She was afraid that this person would suddenly go mad and try to kill Lian Yi.

Lian Yi glanced at Shen Man, and pushed her away impatiently.Even if the person who escaped from Chen Zhou really had a grudge against her, it would be no problem to rely on her ability to protect herself, so does she still need Shen Man's protection?

"Raise your head and let me see how divine you really are." Lian Yi walked up to the suspect and said arrogantly.

But the suspect turned a deaf ear and kept his previous posture.

Lian Yi frowned, Shen Man saw that this was a sign that she was about to get angry, and thought that Miss Tang would not be able to explain if the suspect was injured before she came, so she grabbed Lian Yi and dragged her back Walk.

"Come on, Supervisor Lian Yimen, take another bite of pears. Look at your face, you must have stayed up too late recently. If you continue like this, you will be exhausted physically and mentally. The pears from Taige are tributes from the local government, and they are very nourishing. , let's eat a few more pieces."

Lian Yi touched her face, and was moved by Shen Man's words. "Am I really emaciated?"

Shen Man looked at her face seriously and nodded seriously.

Lian Yi sighed helplessly, "Hey, I can't go on like this, I want to eat a few more pears, so don't grab me." So he searched all the fruit plates in the hall of Taige, rolled up the pears and left them empty Eating carefully on the side.

Qing Ning still has a few silver needles pierced in her head. It is said that she recently pretended to be sick and pretended to show her experience. She felt that it was not enough to be a supervisor of the Jiaozheng Gate who only knew the rhythm, so she took this opportunity to learn some medical skills, because I could no longer find anyone else to do the experiment, so I had no choice but to operate on myself.

Shen Man deeply admired Qing Ning's dedication to sacrificing herself for the Dao of Yin and Yang, but she was a little worried about whether the few silver needles she inserted in her head would touch or rub something.As far as she knew, this kind of silver needles were long and dangerous, and there was a rule in the order of pulling them out. If they were pulled out randomly, it might cause trouble.

Tang Jiuyue changed into a beige dress, with some elegant patterns embroidered on the sleeves and necklines, which looked more refined and luxurious.

Shen Man looked at her, unable to move his eyes away for a moment.

But Qing Ning looked at it, thinking that if the supervisor of the gate saves the money for making this set of clothes, maybe he can rebuild the chapter that was accidentally blown up.

Lian Yi pouted when she saw Tang Jiuyue's outfit.I thought in my heart that if I also had such a custom-made set of clothes, I would be no worse than her in style!

Several people were seated, and Tang Jiuyue was of course the main seat at the top, but there were suspiciously two seats left and right below.

"Is there anyone else coming?" Lian Yi asked.

Qing Ning replied, "The murder case involved the imperial court and the harem. Now that the criminals are to be interrogated, each of them will have representatives to supervise the interrogation."

"Who are the people sent?"

"The imperial court probably sent the eldest prince here. As for the harem, according to the convention, women in the harem are not allowed to leave the palace, but there is one exception. I think they will probably let Princess Decheng come." Qing Ning peeked at the gate supervisor above. glance.Decheng came to the Taige from time to time, and it became more and more frequent recently, and he came to see the gate supervisor.Then I thought about that day the gate supervisor pinched his fingers at the sky, saying that Princess Decheng, Hongluan, was moving...

Qing Ning couldn't help sighing, the supervisor and the princess?I'm afraid the emperor is going to jump.

Shen Man's mind was up and down, her attention was not on the suspect, but on someone.

Several people waited for a while, and sure enough, it was announced that Princess Decheng and the eldest prince Zhu Kui had come together.Tang Jiuyue didn't put on airs either, and led the three of them to greet them respectfully in front of the Tai Pavilion.But after entering the Taige, although the status of the prince and princess are more noble than the gate supervisor, according to the historical rules, the gate supervisor still sits first in the Taige.

Decheng and Zhu Kui took their seats without saying much, and their eyes couldn't help but fell on the kneeling man in the hall.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Tang Jiuyue said calmly, "Who are you? Why did you murder Shang Shuling and the court lady Xiaochun?"

The man was silent and refused to speak.

Tang Jiuyue gestured to Qing Ning with her eyes, and Qing Ning clapped her hands.A person walked into the hall from the side door and stood beside the suspect.

The suspect who had been dumb all this time finally raised his head at this moment, with a hint of eagerness and hope in his eyes.He looked at the woman beside him, carefully sizing her up from bottom to top, not letting go of a single thing.The last gaze rested on the pearl hairpin on her head, and then stayed there stiffly.

The expressions of Decheng and Zhu Kui changed slightly.Decheng asked with confusion, "Is this woman really Concubine Li?"

She had heard that Tang Jiuyue had resurrected Concubine Li, but she still couldn't believe that there really was such a magical yin and yang technique in the world. If the dead could really be resurrected, the order of the world would definitely be in chaos.I believe that with Tang Jiuyue's intelligence, even if she mastered such a secret technique, she would not use it easily, let alone let a person who has been resurrected from the dead swagger around here, fearing that others would not know it.

But seeing is believing, although it has been a long time since I have seen Concubine Li, the appearance of this person in front of me is very similar to the Concubine Li in my memory, people can't help but believe it.

Zhu Kui was also surprised, his body was straight and slightly leaning forward, he wanted to see more clearly.He has seen almost all of his father's concubines, but there are very few who can have the charm of Concubine Li.Back then, Concubine Li was in great favor. If he wanted to please his father, he had to please Concubine Li, so he was relatively familiar with Concubine Li.I thought she was really dead, but I didn't expect to be able to stand in front of him alive at this moment, which really surprised Zhu Kui.

"Could it be... is she really Concubine Li?" Zhu Kui calmed down, "Could it be that Concubine Li didn't die back then?"

"Concubine Li is indeed dead," Tang Jiuyue said slowly, raising her eyes, and glanced at Decheng coldly, "Princess Decheng should know."

Decheng was flustered by her glance.

Back then, he had indeed witnessed Concubine Li being buried alive. She was also in the palace, but she couldn't save her.

"Then...then she..." Zhu Kui pointed at the woman standing in the hall and asked, "Is it a human or a ghost?"

"She's human." Tang Jiuyue turned to look at the suspect, "You should already know who she is by now."

The suspect smiled bitterly and helplessly, "She's not her, I really fell for it."

Tang Jiuyue said calmly, "Then tell everyone who you are and who she is."

The suspect suddenly turned around and knelt down towards the woman beside him, bowed deeply, and said in a suppressed voice, "Ding Feng has seen Mrs. Shen, but I haven't seen him for so many years. Is Mrs. Shen okay?"

Shen Man trembled all over, staring at the man's face.Sure enough!This person is none other than Shang Shuling's wife and Concubine Li's biological mother, Shen Shi!

It was dark last night, and the subtle changes on her face could not be seen, but now the light is sufficient, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes can be vaguely seen.But even so, she and Li Fei look almost exactly the same!

No wonder!

Shen Man also remembered the reflection in the water that she saw when she passed by the waterside corridor when she went to the Shangshu Mansion that day. The face of that shadow was also the same as the Mrs. Shen she saw later. She thought she saw Mrs. Shen, but in fact, that The shadow in the water is most likely Li Fei!

"Ding Feng? Is he Ding Feng?" Qing Ning recalled carefully, "In the Yin-Yang Dao examination back then, this person stood out from the crowd and stood out. He was considered the most qualified to be selected as a disciple by the gate supervisor at that time... But later I heard that He temporarily gave up this opportunity, and later disappeared..."

She secretly thought, if Ding Feng hadn't given up back then, it might not be Tang Jiuyue who is sitting in the position of gate supervisor now.Superintendent Zou Damen was full of praise for Ding Feng who took the exam, and felt that no one in the world could surpass him, even Tang Jiuyue back then was slightly inferior.

Why did such a person of extraordinary demeanor give up his future all of a sudden, and why did he end up here again?What is the connection between him and Li Fei?This is really puzzling, regrettable and curious.

Tang Jiuyue's eyes lit up when he heard him admit his identity.

"Since you admit that you are Ding Feng, can you tell us why you murdered so many people?"

Ding Feng didn't seem to hear her words, still knelt in front of Mrs. Shen, and said to himself, "Mrs. Shen, they found Tiantian's bones, and you can finally bring her home. Don't abandon her again, she won't She should enter the palace... There are so many people who want to harm her, she is a pure and kind girl, she shouldn't end up like this."

Madam Shen had tears in her eyes. She looked at the man kneeling in front of her, supported him with slightly trembling hands, looked at his face, and choked up, "Mr. Ding, why did you become like this?"

Back then, Ding Feng was young and handsome.Although the family conditions are not good, but they are very talented.After worshiping a famous teacher in Kyoto, he was sent to Shangshufu to arrange Fengshui.During this back and forth, Ding Feng met the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, and fell in love at first sight.

Now Ding Feng can't find the slightest shadow of that year. His back is bent, his hair is thin, and his face is covered with ugly scars. Compared with his original age, he seems to be 20 years old.If it wasn't for the same bright eyes as before, no one would have recognized him as him.

Lian Yi looked at his face and recalled carefully, and suddenly clapped his hands and stood up and shouted, "Ding Bo! He is the old man Ding Bo who is guarding the library at Tianwenmen!"

After being reminded, Shen Man suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw Ding Bo when he entered the library that night.This somewhat ugly and frightening old man is actually the personable and talented Ding Feng they said back then? !

This is incredible.

But at the same time, Tang Jiuyue's inference was verified.

Because Ding Bo is indeed a person related to the imperial palace and the Taige at the same time, he is clearly standing in front of everyone, but he will not arouse the slightest suspicion from others.

It's just that Ding Feng has been hiding in the Library Pavilion for many years, why did he suddenly want to kill someone?And why did you want to kill Shang Shuling and Xiaochun?

Ding Feng stood up and turned around, his indifferent gaze swept over everyone present, and he said sadly and angrily, "Since you have found me, I will not hide anything anymore. It's just that Tian'er's case back then has not been settled yet." , I am really not reconciled."
