Queen's Detective

Chapter 87 Why Plum Blossom Cake Isn’t Sweet

Early the next morning, Yan Sanbai took away Li Yan's hand from his body, got out of bed and got dressed.

Li Yan was still sleeping, but Xiao Zongzi had already woken up, watching Yan Sanbai put on his clothes with wide open eyes, neither crying nor making trouble.Yan Sanbai carried him out and picked up the clothes for him to wear.

"Is the little zongzi hungry?" Yan Sanbai straightened his collar and asked.

Xiao Zongzi shook his head, nodded again, and said with a red face in embarrassment, "It seems a little bit."

Yan Sanbai rubbed his head, got up and went to open the door.Xiao Shuanzi and Xiao Zhuzi had been waiting outside the door early in the morning with hot water in their hands, and they were taken aback when they saw that it was Yan Sanbai who came to open the door.

Did Xia Yan live with the prince last night?It's such a good feeling.

Or are they discussing something important? !

The two of them fell silent for a moment, Master Leng Ding said that they must not talk nonsense!

So Yan Sanbai saw them bring in the hot water with a serious face, and then go out with a serious face—could they have changed their temperament after sleeping all night?

With such doubts, Yan Sanbai washed Xiao Zongzi's face and brushed his teeth.Xiao Zongzi is very well-behaved. When washing her face, she sat on the stool, raised her head and closed her eyes to let Yan Sanbai wipe it. After she finished wiping, her face was flushed, and her complexion looked much better than yesterday.

After washing up, Yan Sanbai carried him out, leaving Li Yan lying on the bed alone.

Because Li Yan has always loved to eat, so the breakfast in Chongxiao Palace is very rich.Today, Xiaozongzi is here, and there are many more exquisite pasta.The little rice dumplings don’t need to be waited on at all, the chopsticks are very stable, and the small mouth is bulging. The eating speed is not fast, but it is quite edible.

In contrast, Yan Sanbai ate slightly less, and the little Shuanzi who was waiting on the side asked worriedly: "Is it not to your liking?"

"It's okay, it's just a little too sweet. I'll just drink more porridge." Yan Sanbai can't eat very sweet things, and if he eats too much, he will feel sick to his stomach. In contrast, light porridge is good.

Xiao Shuanzi quickly remembered it in his heart.

While speaking, Yan Sanbai saw that the little zongzi stopped eating suddenly, and stopped holding the spoon, lowering his head as if very sad.

"What's wrong?" Yan Sanbai asked softly.

Xiao Zongzi raised his head, his eyes were red, "Brother Yan...I miss Xiao Hanzi..."

Yan Sanbai patted his head, but suddenly thought of some possibility, and asked: "Xiao Zongzi, why did you suddenly think of him again?"

Xiao Zongzi didn't really want to recall, because he was still a little scared, and there was an inexplicable fear in his heart pointing to the possibility he was most afraid of, but Yan Sanbai asked, Xiao Zongzi nodded obediently even if he didn't want to, "Xiao Han My son likes to eat sweet things, when he ate cakes that day, he said, why are cakes not sweet..."

Why is plum cake not sweet?

This sentence was probably the last sentence Fang Zihan said, Yan Sanbai frowned slightly.

At this time, Xiao Zongzi tugged at his sleeve again, moved a little closer to him, and looked up at him as if about to cry, "Brother Yan... Do you think I killed Xiao Hanzi?"

Yan Sanbai was startled, and then he took Xiao Zongzi into his arms and patted him on the back, "Little Zongzi is good, the person who killed Xiao Hanzi is wrong, brother will catch him for you, okay?"

Although Xiao Zongzi is young, but he lived in the emperor's house since he was a child, and his mind is not comparable to that of ordinary children.Maybe he still doesn't quite understand the reason why I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, but he is very sensitive and has already noticed it.This is probably the heart disease that the Queen Mother said.

Xiao Zongzi gave a muffled hum, grabbed Yan Sanbai's clothes with two chubby hands, and rubbed his cheeks against his body, very clingy.

At this time, a big hand descended from the sky and covered his head, kneading it like kneading dough, "Whose baby is this, who will take advantage of it at a young age?"

Little Zongzi blushed, and raised his head, "Brother Yan is bad, but Little Zongzi is not like that."

"Really?" Li Yan raised his tone.

Xiao Zongzi nodded quickly, afraid that he would not believe it.Yan Sanbai smiled, Li Yan would lie to children.

The two exchanged a look, and did not mention Fang Zhihan again.After dinner, Yan Sanbai planned to meet the national teacher. Li Yan was his nephew, so of course he would accompany him.

As for Xiao Zongzi, he was originally going to send him to the Queen's place, but Xiao Zongzi insisted on following him to meet the uncle of the state teacher, so he took him with him.

The national teacher lives in the Xuanwu Hall, surrounded by high courtyard walls to isolate it from the inner courtyard, forming an independent world.

For the Ouchi guards, this is the restricted area of ​​the palace, because the martial arts master living inside does not need their protection at all, and his temper is not very good. He lives in seclusion and leaves the palace without knowing when. .

"When I was in the palace, it was my uncle who was responsible for teaching me martial arts. You know, although my cheap master is famous, he is actually not very reliable." Li Yan said, leading them to push open the closed courtyard door .

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zongzi was also very familiar with this place. He took Yan Sanbai's hand, pointed to the pond and said, "Riding a turtle."

Riding a turtle?turtle?

Yan Sanbai was puzzled, and saw that the not very tall black pagoda in the courtyard with golden bells suddenly opened, as if making a silent invitation.

"Let's go." Li Yan was in front again, and Yan Sanbai led the little zongzi to follow, and walked into the black tower. The ground floor was empty, only the walls were painted with many profound patterns of unknown meaning.

"Remember to close the door when you come in." The voice came from above, Yan Sanbai looked up, only heard the voice but could not see the person.

Li Yan smiled and said, "How come it's been so many years, Master Uncle, you are still in charge of turning it on or off."

"Shut up. Also, I'm not old."

"It's... my little uncle's 31 flowers." As Li Yan said, he turned his head and winked at Yan Sanbai playfully, Yan Sanbai couldn't laugh or cry.

The person upstairs was probably so angry with him that he kept silent. The three of them went up to the top floor, only to see a person sitting cross-legged, wearing a lotus crown, and wearing a wide avenue robe inside. Weidao long.

He was administering needles to a woman lying in front of him with a focused expression.That woman is Fang Hua's original wife, Mrs. Liu, who should have been sent by Guan Qingci.She was still awake, staring at them with alert and terrified eyes, but she couldn't move her body, and couldn't even speak.

"How is she?" Yan Sanbai walked over and asked.

Qi Wei turned her head and glanced at him, said: "Crazy, heart disease is difficult to cure."

When Qi Wei said she was crazy, she was really crazy, and the possibility of her pretending to be crazy was ruled out.What Yan Sanbai suspects now is that this Liu Shi was not crazy when Fang Zhihan died. Could it be that after a few days, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, did he go crazy?

It's time difference...

Seeing Yan Sanbai's pensive expression, Qi Wei couldn't help but ask, "What's your opinion?"

"It's not an opinion, but I feel that Liu's madness must be something else." Yan Sanbai said.

"Indeed, I was there on the day Fang Zhihan died. I don't think Mrs. Liu is such a fragile person. Even if the murderer who killed her son has not been found, she will not be crazy." Qi Wei said, and she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Liu from the corner of her eye. The sudden struggle and pain after hearing her son's name raised her hand and poked a needle into her head, causing her to faint.

Then he stood up, glanced at Li Yan, and said coldly, "Are you still alive?"

"It's not dead." Li Yan shrugged.

Yan Sanbai: "..."

Xiao Zongzi looked at this and that, with a big question mark hanging on his head.

Qi Wei looked down at Xiao Zongzi, but he had a pleasant face, "Come on, little Zongzi, do you want to ride a tortoise?"

Xiao Zongzi nodded sincerely, "I think so."

So Qi Wei led Xiao Zongzi down to ride the tortoise, Yan Sanbai looked at Mrs. Liu who was still lying unconscious on the ground, "Then Mrs. Fang..."

Qi Wei didn't even look back, and waved his hands, "Where did you come from, where do you go back."

Yan Sanbai was helpless, so he prepared to let the people of Dali Temple take her away in a while.Although she is really crazy, but crazy words are not necessarily unbelievable, because they usually have great obsession before she is crazy.

When Yan Sanbai returned to the outside of the pagoda, Xiao Zongzi was already riding a tortoise. His small body was sitting on the back of a tortoise as big as two dustpans, and he was carrying it slowly. feel.

Li Yan said at the side: "I used to ride when I was a child, and this turtle was only this big. Later, I wanted to kill this turtle and make soup, and my little uncle didn't treat me very much."

Yan Sanbai: "..."

Qi Wei in front of him seemed to have heard something, and suddenly turned his head and gave him a deadly look, with a cold look on his face.

"You can ride the turtle slowly with Xiaozongzi, and I'll go to Dali Temple." Yan Sanbai said.

"Going to see Guan Qingci again?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

"What's the name?"

"And again."

"I didn't ask you to speak Wenjiezi."

"So what are you going to Dali Temple for this time?"

"Autopsy."

"Autopsy?" Qi Wei turned around again, his eyes brightened, "I'll go with you."

"No." Li Yan was decisive.

"What you say doesn't count." Qi Wei was also very firm.

"You will bring him down." Li Yan shook his head.

"It was his pleasure."

……

Yan Sanbai looked at the two nephews who were not stopping, and shook his head, "I'll go by myself."

However, he really left, as usual, like the wind, making it difficult for people to catch a piece of his clothes.

Fang Zihan's body was placed in the ice cellar of Dali Temple. Because of the poisoning and cold, his face was blue and purple.Although Wu Zuo had already checked it, Yan Sanbai checked it again worriedly, and the result was the same - Fang Zihan didn't have any scars on his body, and he was in good health.

After looking at it for a long time, Yan Sanbai didn't see any tricks. Yan Sanbai thought that there might be no clues here, so he prepared to leave.But as soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of something strange from the corner of his eye, and stopped immediately. He walked quickly to Fang Zhihan's side, stretched out his hand to pinch his face and opened his mouth completely.

Yan Sanbai frowned suddenly - why are there so many cavities in Fang Zhihan's mouth?

He suddenly remembered Fang Zhihan's last sentence, why is the plum cake not sweet.This seems to be easy to explain, it's nothing more than Fang Zhihan eating sweets, but Yan Sanbai looked at the mouth full of decayed teeth, but his brows still did not relax.

Always feel something is wrong.
