When a passerby becomes a princess

Autumn in northern Xinjiang has a hint of coolness. Although it is not yet the season of dead leaves, most of the leaves have begun to turn yellow, and occasionally you can see a lot of fruits hanging on some trees.

Lin Qiu frowned slightly looking at the letter in his hand, it was written by his elder brother Lin Bai.

On the night when Liang Xi was wearing the crown ceremony, a court lady appeared in the Huguo Temple and hid in the room for His Royal Highness to rest. She was chased away by the two nuns who followed her. Later, they were about to rest in Liang Xi. Seeds of golden thread flowers were found in his pillow, and when he went to look for the maid again, he couldn't find her again.

Originally, this matter had become an unsolved case. After Liang Xi returned to Northern Xinjiang, when he was training with the raid battalion, he suddenly remembered the maid. , Who knows that after such a long time, he suddenly remembered it.

At that time, Lin Qiu had just started to manage internal funds. When the canal was being built in Yangui Mountain Villa, the tomb of the third prince was burned, and the pregnant concubine Chen was killed. Liang Honglie was worried about Lin Qiu's safety, so he took him back to the palace for protection, and asked the Ministry of Rites to select him Many women from aristocratic families entered the palace, hoping that Liang Xi would leave an heir as soon as possible.That palace lady was once selected as a beautiful lady and sent to Jingliu Palace, and climbed onto his bed several times, and finally kicked out by Liang Xi who couldn't bear it, she was knocked out on the spot, and for this reason, she even called the imperial court in the middle of the night. medical.

Later, because of Lin Qiu's return, all the show girls were driven back again, and this matter was never mentioned again.

After receiving this information, Jin Yiwei found out on the same day that the woman's surname was Cai, and she came from the same family as Concubine Cai, and the Cai family has always been attached to the Qin family, that is to say, the Qin family was behind the prince's assassination?

But this makes no sense at all, because the second prince is the son of Concubine Qin Gui and the grandson of Qin Mutian, the patriarch of the Qin family. Everyone in the family knows that Qin Mutian covets the throne, so how could he kill his grandson? The best pedal for his claim to the throne.

Here we are going to talk about the second prince who has died. The second prince Liang Xu was good at martial arts since he was a child. He spent enough money to hire a famous teacher for him, and spent a lot of money to buy the ten-thousand-year meteorite salvaged from the bottom of the sea, and asked the best swordsmith to forge weapons for him.

Liang Xu reciprocated, and he trusted his grandfather wholeheartedly. It can be said that as long as Qin Mutian killed several of Empress Chu's own children and pushed Liang Xu to the throne, whether it was usurping the throne or manipulating behind the scenes, it would be extremely easy. .When Liang Xu died, Qin Mutian almost fainted from crying, so the Qin family should not be responsible for controlling the Cai family to murder the prince.

Going back to investigate the fake palace lady, she is the daughter of a branch of the Cai family, named Cai E, if you say that her appearance is only above average, but this Cai E is very famous in the Cai family, because her ability to hold her thighs makes people Everyone was amazed.

Cai E was originally a concubine daughter, and her biological mother was a kiln sister. She should have been the most inferior daughter of the Cai family, because this kiln sister is different from the prostitutes in the brothel. In the most inferior kilns, those who can be hired for money, even prostitutes look down on them, and those who can be redeemed to take over their houses are very few.

But this Cai E was favored by the mistress of the family in such a capacity, she was raised by her side since she was a child, and grew up like a daughter-in-law. She was sent to study in the women's hall of her family, and in the end she was recommended by the head of the Cai family to enter the palace.

Think that Cai E is only 17 years old, but has such scheming and ability, how can she not be famous?

Lin Bai sent a lot of people to monitor Cai E, and found that she was more dignified and virtuous than the lady of the family during the day, but at night, she would frequently go in and out of the study and bedroom of several house owners, talking lewdly than that. The kiln sister in the kiln is still wanton, but her dignified during the day and lascivious at night have attracted many men, including Qin Mutian.

This discovery made Lin Bo very surprised, especially based on their conversation, Cai E had already started dating when she was only twelve or thirteen years old, so how did the beautiful woman pass the physical examination when she entered the palace?

It wasn't until later that Lin Bo learned that Cai E had been letting those men back, so no matter how she checked, she was still perfect.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old child can get the benefits he wants and protect himself under the eyes of wolves. How hard is it to do this?

Before the official meeting, Lin Bo was already secretly vigilant in his heart. Sure enough, when he sent someone to "invite" Cai E to the torture room of the guard, this young woman showed a composure and composure that was completely out of her age.

Unlike ordinary people who entered the torture room, Cai E neither cried nor yelled. Even though she was tied up on a shelf, she straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and did not look directly into the eyes of the interrogator. , but looked into his mouth and behaved like a noble lady.

"I don't know what kind of mistake I made, and I will be invited here by the commander of Jinyiwei in this way." Cai E's voice was arrogant and indifferent, and she said that she was caught as a "mistake" instead of "Crime" can be said to be very clever.

Lin Bai sat next to him and didn't speak, he just gestured to Feng Wu who was next to him.

Feng Wu is in charge of torture in Yuanyingfeng Building, and he knows all kinds of detentions and punishments well. However, since he read Lin Qiu's "Ten Tortures", he was immediately shocked by Lin Qiu and worshiped him. As an idol, I even ran to see Lin Qiu excitedly once, and when I came back, I looked deeply shocked. How could such a desolate young man write such a book with profound meaning?Could it be that his cultivation is not enough?

Therefore, Feng Wu put all his energy into studying various criminal laws from ancient times to the present, and kept simulating them in his mind every day. Now that he finally had something to test the results of, he immediately began to fiddle with various instruments of torture on the table, thinking in his heart that he should first which one to try.

Who knew that Cai E just cast aside those instruments of torture arrogantly, and said: "Master Commander, although I, Cai E, is only a little girl, I am also a member of the Cai family. If you want to ask any questions, just ask, if you want to use punishment to humiliate For me, at best, I will die, and then I will have the Cai family... or the Qin family to seek justice for me."

Lin Bo laughed immediately. Although Jinyiwei was not established for a long time, this torture room has welcomed and sent many guests. Most of them have already weakened their legs when they saw those instruments of torture. Although there are threats, they can Most of them are serious and introverted, but like this woman, she is truly fearless, as if "death" is as simple as drinking tea to her.

"What a little girl." Lin Bai stood up, ignored Feng Wu who was beside him with a dissatisfied face, and said, "Then tell me, what did you do on the night of December [-] last year?"

The corners of Cai E's lips raised slightly, and she said, "I went to Huguo Temple and recommended myself to the Crown Prince." She said it without a trace of shame, because in Daliang State, it was not embarrassing for a commoner woman to recommend a pillow to the nobles. Maybe it's still a good story.

"Then what did you bring into Huguo Temple?" Lin Bo asked again.

Cai E raised her eyebrows and said: "I heard that His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess are deeply in love with each other. It is not easy to attract the Prince's love, so I brought some things to add to the fun."

"What fun thing?" Lin Bai frowned, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Welcome spring break."

Lin Bai's brows did not loosen. Although Yingchun Powder is an aphrodisiac, it can only be used for fun and has little harm to the body, so most of the pharmacies in the capital sell it.

But the problem is that this medicine can only add to the fun, that is to say, if Liang Xi is interested in Cai E, taking this medicine will be effective, otherwise it is just a matter of sleeping. Since Cai E wants to hook up with Liang Xi, why would she use it? Such a low-end aphrodisiac?

"Where did you put the Yingchun powder?" Lin Bai continued to ask.

"In the pastry on the table."

Lin Bai looked at Cai E with deep eyes. There is no doubt that there is golden thread flower pollen in the pastry on the table. It is not known whether there will be Yingchun San. After all, this Cai E is just trying to climb the bed The concubine, or a murderer who intends to murder the prince?

"Then who brought the pillow in?" Lin Bai stared intently at Cai E's eyes, trying to see her guilt or panic.

But Cai E looked confused and said, "What pillow?"

Lin Bo said unwillingly, "Didn't you take the pillows in the room?"

Cai E thought for a while and said, "When I went in, everything on the bed was already arranged in the room, why should I go in with a pillow?"

Lin Bo suddenly remembered that the room had been decorated three days ago, but those pastries were brought in at the end of the ceremony on the first day, that is to say, it is very likely that someone else put the pillows.He immediately asked, "How did you get into the room?" At that time, there were obviously guards in royal clothes outside.

Cai E smiled and said: "Money can make ghosts turn the millstones. I bribed the soldiers of the Habayashi Army who guarded the gate, let a palace lady hide in, and then bribed the eunuch who delivered food, put on the eunuch's clothes and followed them. Let's go in together, and let the court lady and I change clothes and come out." She didn't hide anything, just a simple shedding of the golden cicada's shell tricked everyone, and she was very proud just thinking about it.

Moreover, as I said before, self-recommended pillow mats are too common in Daliang State. It is not a big problem for the Habayashi Army to collect money to let a woman from a family into the prince's bedroom. They might secretly envy the prince's luck.

The matter is too simple to tell, so simple that Lin Bo always feels that there is a problem, but he doesn't know how to ask it. If he asks the wrong question, there may be twists and turns.

The execution room fell into silence for a while, and after a long time, Lin Bai asked a question casually: "Where did you buy those Yingchun powder?"

Cai E showed some disdain, and said, "As I am, how can I buy this medicine? It was He Hua who brought it to me."

"He Hua?" Lin Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked anxiously, "But He Hua, the eldest son of the He family?"
