Placid Chang'an

There was no sound in the hall for a while, those kneeling did not dare to breathe, even the little emperor stopped crying and looked at Li Shi in disbelief.

What does "so good" mean... that is, it doesn't matter if he doesn't become the emperor anymore, but it's the same for someone else to do it.

This is treason!This is usurper!

And the person concerned stared at everyone indifferently, his eyes were as dark as the night, without any fluctuation, as if he was talking about some insignificant matter.

The Empress Dowager Chu was the first to cut through the deathly silence with a sharp sound: "Li Shi, don't bully us orphans and widows!"

Li Shi didn't pay any attention, he took a step forward and grabbed the little emperor's immature face, forcing those shrinking eyes to look directly at him, his words were as clear as spring rain and thunder, and could be heard clearly.

"It's just a human life. You can't stand it. You have never seen a battlefield. You don't know what it means to be filled with sorrow and blood. You don't care, you are here to die for a dead human life. This is what you see, what about those you don't see? Your thousands of people are waiting for you to make a decision early, and you are hiding here trembling. Since you can't worry about the world's worries beforehand, then it's okay to find someone else to take this position, anyway, what you want is to live in a peaceful corner, and to live with ease!"

Everyone was stunned, even the Empress Dowager Chu froze in place, not knowing what to say.

It is reasonable to say that these remarks are treasonable words that should be punished by the nine clans, but Li Shi's words are reasonable, there is no wolf ambition in his words, and they are beyond reproach.

It took a while for the little emperor to wipe away his tears, and murmured: "I know, I'm going to court now."

"Forget it today." Li Shi slapped him and then gave Tianzao, "I'll tell you how not to be afraid."

Li Shi ordered: "Call Su Cen over and ask him to tell you whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster."

Su Cen originally thought that the little emperor wanted to see him, but he never expected that so many people gathered in the Zichen Palace, Su Cen stepped forward against the eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran stepped forward to salute, and bowed to the emperor and King Ning.

Knowing the reason for calling him here, Su Cen responded calmly, and told the truth about what he found during this period, and finally added his own inference. Although the first case happened in front of the emperor, it was not against the little emperor. The two cases have nothing to do with the royal family, so it should have been just a coincidence.

These days, the little emperor scared himself enough to scare himself, he was finally relieved after hearing Su Cen's report, and he was a little more courageous, so he asked, "What exactly is that ghost you are talking about? Both of them saw it, is there really a ghost?"

Su Cen replied: "I don't rule out the possibility of someone lying and lying. I watched Xu Youhuai's room last night and didn't see any ghosts. The butler of Xu's family followed Xu Youhuai since he was a child and knew a lot. He interrogated his case." It should be clearer."

When Su Cen mentioned that he stayed in Xu Youhuai's room all night, Li Shi frowned and said angrily, "Nonsense."

Su Cen didn't know if it was because he was blaming him for hunting ghosts, or because he was worried about his safety, so he raised his clear eyes to look over, and met those bottomless eyes.

As soon as the eyes crossed, Su Cen smiled calmly, with a bit of complacency, as if quietly taking a long time in front of everyone, with a kind of secret pleasure.

The little emperor asked again: "Then will people die next?"

Su Cen closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "If I'm not wrong, there should be one more."

Little Heavenly Son: "There is one more?"

Su Cen said: "Whether it's Xu Youhuai or Liu Kang who just died today, there are pictures of peach blossoms in their homes, which are 'Peach's Yaoyao, its blossoms' and 'Peach's Yaoyao, its Ye Zhenzhen', These two sentences come from the chapter "Peach Yaoyao" in "The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan", and there is another sentence in it, which is "the peach is so beautiful, there is a lotus in fact", and this "you have a lotus in fact" should be the murderer's next target."

The little emperor hurriedly asked: "So did you find 'There is actually'?"

"I'm looking," Su Cen said. "The sooner we find this 'in fact', the sooner we can arrange defenses and find the murderer sooner."

That vaguely means that if you don't let me go back, you will be blamed if the murderer escapes.

The little emperor didn't know how to read people's faces, and wanted to drag Su Cen to continue asking questions, but was pressed by Li Shi's "then go back and solve the case as soon as possible".

Su Cen bowed to leave, walked out of the Yintai Gate, and walked back along the palace wall. A carriage came from behind, and a person got off from the carriage, and fell slowly behind him. look sideways.

Su Cen was thinking about the case, and didn't pay attention to it at first, but it's fine to look at him one or two, and it's inevitable that Su Cen will feel a little strange if all ten or eight look here.Looking at his white clothes, the eunuch urged him so hard that he didn't have time to go home and change into decent clothes. It was a little dirty and wrinkled, but it wasn't so eye-catching.Smell yourself again, is it because of some strange smell after staying with the corpse for a long time?If he didn't even think about it, he hadn't touched the corpse at all, and after drying it in the yard overnight, the smell had already dissipated.

Li Shirao watched the person in front of him looking around with interest, but he didn't pay attention to what was behind him, and didn't point out, just waiting to see when this person found out.

In the end, Su Cen found out some tricks after Zhang Jun's repeated points, and turned around in doubt. If he hadn't been supported by one hand, he would have fallen headlong into the arms of that man.

Li Shi raised his knuckles and tapped on Su Cen's head, "What are you thinking, you're so preoccupied."

Su Cen let out a cry of pain, raised her head and glared at the person, "Just now I forgot everything, but now I'm thinking about how precious the prince is in his arms, so I won't let me bump into it again and again."

Li Shi squinted his eyes: "Three times?"

Su Cen looked aggrieved, "There was another time at the gate of Xingqing Palace, you blocked me with the bamboo umbrella handle."

Li Shi couldn't help laughing, "Such a grudge."

While talking, he pulled the man to take a step forward. Su Cen felt his eyes darken, and the scent of sandalwood came to his face. The man patted him on the shoulder twice, and asked, "Is it precious?" ?”

A strong, warm, and powerful heartbeat lingered in his ears, and Su Cen lost his mind for a moment, until the tip of his ears turned red when he parted.Fortunately, those ministers were all walking ahead, but I don't know if anyone turned around and peeped.

Li Shi raised his hand to beckon the carriage, "Get in the carriage, I will take you for a ride."

Su Cen originally wanted to go directly back to Dali Temple to continue interrogating the butler of the Xu family, but Li Shi stared at his clothes with disgust on his face, "You haven't changed your outfit for the first few days?"

Su Cen couldn't help but raised his sleeves and sniffed them again. After confirming that there was no strange smell, he put down his sleeves. It was dirty, and it was all wiped away with snot and tears from those who hugged their thighs yesterday, but it shouldn't have reached the level of wrath. the point.

Li Shi said: "Go back first and change your clothes."

Su Cen was not happy, "Changlefang is one city east and one city west from Dali Temple, it's too time-consuming."

"Then go back to Xingqing Palace and take a bath by the way."

After entering Xingqing Palace and taking a shower, can he still come out?Taking the lesser of two evils, Su Cen immediately changed his words: "I'll change clothes," and bargained to please: "I also prepare clothes in the temple, should I go back to the temple and change clothes?"

Li Shi no longer entangled in this matter, he acquiesced, and waved to Su Cen, "Come here."

Su Cen was afraid that this person would go back on his word, so he stepped forward immediately with discernment, and smiled: "What orders does the lord have?"

Li Shi gently pulled the man, and let him sit down on his lap. In the next moment, silk cracked, Li Shi pulled his big hand, and the snow satin trousers fell from his knees to the bottom of his thighs.

Su Cen: "..."

Li Shi raised his eyebrows: "Go back to Dali Temple?"

Su Cen gritted his teeth, "You are a majestic prince, how could you be so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Cen bit down the word "rogue" abruptly. This time, it was the weather-beaten white robe, one sleeve of which was missing.

Li Shi didn't give up yet, he put the man on the couch, grabbed the neckline and tore it down, asking while tearing, "Where did you say you slept last night?"

Su Cen's temper was also torn out, and he resisted with all his hands and feet, arguing with reason: "I didn't return to the investigator's home last night, so I stayed in Xu You's arms all night!"

The two struggled from the couch to the ground, the teapot and teacup lay on the ground, Li Shi had such a big carriage, they could not move at all outside like this, Su Cen finally fell down, Li Shi pushed him to the ground, sneered : "How does someone else's bed taste?"

Su Cen was taken aback, "You keep telling me to go back and change clothes, maybe it's because you're jealous?"

"So what?" Li Shi admitted generously.

Su Cen laughed back angrily, "Dignified Prince Ning is so jealous with a dead man who doesn't know what he looks like, I really have learned a lot."

With a wave of Li Shi's hand, Su Cen's clothes were torn, and he smiled, "Then let you see and see."
