Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple
Chapter 45 Li Luo, the bait
"Are you in such a hurry?" Li Luo said, "Don't listen to how I figured out who you are?"
Li Luo was tied here, and his eyes were blocked, so he couldn't see clearly, and the black figure didn't open his mouth just now, sight, hearing, and touch were all useless, leaving only the sense of smell.
Li Luo sniffed, and said, "There is a faint smell of medicine, but it shouldn't be you drinking or applying medicine."
He changed the subject and said: "During the banquet last night, the little prince seemed not in a good mood, his face was a little pale, is he sick? He should have been taking medicine these days? I smelled the medicine It's similar to that on the little prince, I guess it's because you are always with the little prince, so it's unavoidable that you have some faint smell of medicine."
"So..." Li Luo raised the corners of his lips happily, and said, "Now Taifu Han can ask me questions."
With a sound of "唰——", Li Luo said those words, and the black cloth covering his eyes was taken off.
Li Luo blinked his eyes, got used to the sunlight a little bit, and quickly saw the person standing in front of him clearly.He guessed right, it was Han Tai Fu Han Jingting.
"It's a pity, it's a pity..." Li Luo shook his head and said, "It really wasn't the real culprit who killed Taifu Zhao, Taifu Han, you will disrupt my plan like this."
Han Jingting has a very gentle face, but he is a cold person, he doesn't answer Li Luo's words, he doesn't seem to care who killed Taifu Zhao at all.
Han Jingting opened his mouth and said, "Where is Li Luo?"
Just now Han Jingting said that he wanted to ask a question, and the question was where Li Luo was.
Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that this question is not what you want to ask, but what the little prince wants to ask."
These days, the little prince Xie Tang was released from the prison cell of Dali Temple. It should have been a happy thing, but Li Luo suddenly disappeared, which made a group of people worried. Not only Xie Changying had been looking for Li Luo, Xie Tang was also Helping find him.
The little prince caught some wind and cold in the prison cell, and his body was not strong, so he felt a little uncomfortable after he came out. These days, because he was worried about Li Luo, his illness came and went. It really hurts to see.
Li Luo was a little proud. It turned out that besides Xie Changying, there were so many people who cared about him. It seemed that his popularity was really good.
Li Luo looked at Han Jingting and said, "You asked me this question, but if I told the truth, you would definitely not believe me."
"Then talk about it." Han Jingting was very calm.
Without stuttering, Li Luo said, "I am Li Luo."
After he finished speaking, Han Jingting who was standing in front of him narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.But soon, Han Jingting spoke again.
Han Jingting said, "I believe it."
"What?" Li Luo showed a very shocked expression, then shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no! You can't believe it! The first person who believes in me must be my prince, otherwise it will sound weird, like We had an affair in private."
For a moment, Han Jingting's expression cracked a little.
Li Luo became a little curious, and said, "Why do you believe my words? I look like this, and I say I am Li Luo, it's unbelievable? Why do you believe it so calmly?"
"Because of you, I didn't go to see that person yesterday." Han Jingting said.
Li Luo thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Fifth Uncle?"
Han Jingting didn't speak, Li Luo asked again: "Teacher knows a lot of things, especially about the Li country. Why don't you bother Taifu Han and give me a little science? Although I look a lot like Li Prince, but you also believe it, I am Li Luo, I don't know much about Li Guo at all. For example... Who is the Fifth Uncle who asked me to meet yesterday."
Han Jingting said that he believed Li Luo's words, because if the person in front of him was really Prince Li, then it was absolutely impossible for him to miss the appointment yesterday.
In the eyes of Prince Li, his Fifth Uncle is the most important existence, even more important than his life.He lingered on in Daxie just to help Fifth Uncle take over the Li country and become the emperor of the Li country.
Han Jingting looked Li Luo up and down carefully, and said, "It seems that you are really not Prince Li."
The fifth uncle that the little princess wanted to see Prince Li was Li Guo's Fifth Emperor Uncle, and Xie Changying guessed it right.
This time, Li Guo's mission came to Beijing, and the Fifth Emperor Uncle was not included at all.But what is surprising is that Uncle Wuhuang is definitely in the capital of Daxie, and last night, in Daxie's palace, he even asked Prince Li to meet at the old place.
Li Luo pondered for a while, then said: "It seems that this Fifth Uncle has great powers, his hands have even reached into Da Xie's palace, tsk tsk, it's amazing."
Han Jingting's expression was not good, and he said, "It's more than that. You must have known about the young bird's token, right? The person who found Uncle Zhou in Sishi Villa is Uncle Wuhuang."
"So it was him?" Li Luo nodded and said, "Do you want to muddy the water?"
Nowadays, many people want to get the baby bird token, and it seems that Uncle Wuhuang is also determined to get the baby bird token.
This fifth emperor uncle is indeed not simple. So many princes and princesses of the Li country died back then, but the fifth emperor uncle beheaded the "rebel" and became a hero in the eyes of the new emperor. a seat.
Logically speaking, he could be regarded as a traitor among the old Li people, but Prince Li, the son of the late emperor, was very close to Wu Huangshu, and even obeyed Wu Huangshu's words, thinking that Wu Huangshu was forced to do nothing and was holding back his power.
Prince Li knew that his health was short, so he didn't want to be the emperor of Li country at all, he just wanted to help Fifth Emperor Uncle as much as possible to take Li Luo back, and wanted to help Fifth Emperor Uncle to ascend to the throne of Li Country.
The fifth emperor's uncle had gained great trust from both Li Guoxinjun and Li Prince, and extended his hand into Daxie's palace, and was still looking for someone who had the baby bird's token.What he was thinking in his heart, the meaning could not be more clear.
Li Luo sighed and said: "This fifth uncle should not be underestimated. He is a man with ambition and strategy, and he is not on the same level as Taifu Han. I don't think you, Taifu Han, have the upper hand."
"If we cooperate, we must have the upper hand." Han Jingting said.
Li Luo smiled and said, "Cooperation? I'm weak alone, except for my better-looking face and smarter mind, and of course my voice is nice, and..."
Li Luo boasted that he was not soft-spoken at all, and Han Jingting, who was standing opposite, couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him, saying: "Xie Changying is the person of Da Xie, or the royal family of Da Xie, he definitely doesn't want five Let the emperor do something that is not good for Da Xie."
Hearing his words, Li Luo seemed to have a threatening meaning in his words, but Li Luo was not angry at all, instead nodded his head and said with a smile: "Teacher Han is smart, he can tell at a glance that the prince is my weakness. The prince is so cute and beautiful, and he still likes me so much, how can I bear to make him sad?"
Han Jingting said: "So we cooperate."
When Han Jingting reappeared at the gate of the little prince Xie Tang's mansion, it was almost noon.
He didn't need to inform, he went directly into the prince's mansion, and the servants saw the Taifu coming, and they were no strangers to it.This Han Jingting often comes to the Prince's Mansion, and often stays here.
Han Jingting went straight in, towards the room of the young prince Xie Tang.When he reached the door, he saw an eunuch withdrawing with a bowl of medicine in his hand, but the medicine didn't take a sip.
Han Jingting said: "Wait a minute."
The eunuch immediately stopped and said, "Teacher Han, you are here."
"The prince doesn't drink medicine anymore?" Han Jingting asked.
The eunuch was a little embarrassed, nodded and said in a low voice: "The crown prince thought the medicine was too bitter, so he asked the minister to pour it out secretly, and said not to ask the grand master to find out."
Taifu Han picked up the medicine bowl, seemed a little helpless, said: "I see, you step back, I'll go in and have a look."
"Yes." The eunuch left.
Holding the medicine bowl, Han Jingting lightly knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and walked into Xie Tang's room.
The room was a bit hot and humid, bypassing the screen and entering the inner room, one could see the curling heat, it turned out that Xie Tang was taking a bath.
When Xie Tang heard the movement, he thought it was the boy who came in, and said: "If you don't want to eat lunch, just take it away."
Han Jingting took a look inside, and sure enough, the lunch was still on the table, seemingly unmoved.
Xie Tang was lying in the bathtub, with his back to Han Jingting. He didn't realize who came in for a moment, and asked, "Has Mr. Han not come back yet? I don't know where he went early in the morning."
"The Grand Tutor is back." Han Jingting smiled, walked over and said, "I happened to see that the Crown Prince refused to drink the medicine."
Xie Tang was startled, and quickly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Han Jingting standing behind him, holding a medicine bowl in his hand.
Xie Tang stammered a little, and said, "Who refuses to drink the medicine anymore, I just... think the medicine is a bit cold, so I asked someone to take it out and reheat it, I'll drink it now!"
Han Jingting gave him the medicine bowl and said, "The prince is so obedient, so I can rest assured as a teacher."
Xie Tang took the medicine, immediately frowning, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet, sitting in the bathtub and drinking the medicine with his neck tilted, unusually bold.
The tan medicinal soup overflowed from the corner of his lips, flowed down his chin, and dripped into the bathtub.
Han Jingting shook his head, took off the handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth, and said, "So casual, are you drinking medicine, or are you going to take a medicinal bath?"
Xie Tang finally finished drinking the medicine, his face was wrinkled with bitterness, and said, "Master, where did you go early in the morning?"
Han Jingting put the medicine bowl aside, didn't mention Li Luo's matter, just said: "Of course I have something to do."
Xie Tang actually didn't want to ask in detail, and said: "Then... have you found Li Luo?"
Han Jingting paused for a moment and said, "Not yet."
Xie Tang looked disappointed, and lay down on the edge of the bathtub with his head slumped, saying, "Why did it disappear, where did it go?"
Xie Tang was lying on the bathtub, with two white arms overlapping and embracing each other, the butterfly bone lines on his back were very delicate.However, on the butterfly bone on his left side, there is a scar that looks a little eye-catching. It should be an old wound that has healed for a long time, but the scar still remains.
Han Jingting reached out and touched his scar lightly, Xie Tang turned to look at him.
Han Jingting asked: "Did you apply the medicine?"
"This scar doesn't hurt a long time ago." Xie Tang said, "It's been a few years."
"It's an ointment for removing scars." Han Jingting said.
As he said, he looked inside, and sure enough, he saw the medicine bottle on the small cabinet, so he took it and opened it, got some ointment and applied it on Xie Tang's butterfly bone scar.
Xie Tang said indifferently: "I just have a scar all over my body, and it's on my back. It's not visible to others. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need to apply medicine. Besides, if others say that a man has a few scars, it will have that smell. Son."
"Has that smell?" Han Jingting was amused by Xie Tang, and said, "It was Li Luo who said it again?"
Except for Li Luo, no one would say such strange words.
Xie Tang nodded.
Han Jingting carefully applied the medicine to Xie Tang, and when he touched the scar with his fingertips, he seemed to be thinking of something else, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Master?" Although Xie Tang didn't turn his head, he realized that Han Jingting was distracted and called him.
Han Jingting said: "Okay, don't catch a cold if you are still sick, the water is not too hot, just wipe off your body, come out and eat your lunch."
"I understand Master." Xie Tang nodded obediently.
……
"Princess, the Second Prince came to look for you and said he wanted to take you into the palace for a stroll." The servant girl said.
The little princess of Li Guo was full of reluctance, and said: "I don't want to go, I don't want to go."
After saying that, she turned around and left, instead of going back to her room, she went to the room where the accompanying guards were staying.
"Uncle Wu? Uncle Wu, are you there?"
The little princess sneaked, lying on the door of a room, and whispered something inside, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.
There was someone in the room who had just finished taking a bath. He put on his clothes, and there was a very glaring sword wound on the left button. It seemed to be an old wound. It had already healed up now, but it left a deep scar.At first glance, it looked quite similar to the injury on Xie Tang's butterfly bone.
The man put on his clothes quickly, then walked out the door and said, "Why is the princess here, please keep your voice down."
The little princess entered the room and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wu, no one else will know you're here."
It turns out that Uncle Wu Huang of Li Guo pretended to be the little princess' bodyguard, and now he lives in the post house.
When the little princess saw the fifth emperor's uncle, she was full of grievances and said: "Fifth uncle, you can help me, the prince's brother is not willing to help me, I don't want to marry the second prince, I don't want to."
Uncle Wu Huang smiled and said, "The second prince is considered a good-looking talent, why don't you want to? Besides... the second prince belongs to us, if you can marry him, it will be more convenient for you to pass on news in the future."
The little princess pouted, and said, "It's ours, I don't like it, and I don't like him. Does Uncle Wu care about my life or death? Well, I have to figure out my own way!"
As the little princess spoke, she turned around and left. Uncle Wu Huang stopped her and said, "Don't mess around, where are you going?"
The little princess said angrily, "I'm going to Yingchuan Palace!"
At this moment, Yingchuan Palace.
Li Luo woke up leisurely, supported his slightly aching head, and sat up.
"Wake up." Someone said coldly beside him.
Li Luo looked sideways, and said with surprise on his face: "My lord, it's you."
Xie Changying was sitting at the tea table, while Xie Xiaoqi was standing aside.
Li Luo said: "Am I in the prince's residence?"
Xie Changying did not answer, but asked, "You went out of the city this morning and were hijacked. Who hijacked you?"
Li Luo smiled and said, "My lord, you care so much about me."
The person who hijacked Li Luo was undoubtedly Han Jingting.Later, Han Jingting also "sent" Li Luo back to the city.
In fact, according to Li Luo's intention, he just needs to walk back to the city, and he doesn't need to bother Han Jingting for help.But Han Jingting insisted on "sending him a ride", before Li Luo could react, he was dizzy for a while, and was stunned by Han Jingting again, and fell unconscious on the ground.
When Li Luo woke up again, he was already in Yingchuan Palace.Li Luo didn't know exactly how he came back and why he was in the palace.But the result was good, Li Luo sat on the bed happily, and looked at Xie Changying with a smile on his face.
Xie Changying ignored his teasing, Li Luo had no choice but to change the subject and said, "I originally wanted to seduce the murderer today. After all, the prince recently investigated the case of Taifu Zhao, and the investigation was so urgent, the murderer who killed Taifu Zhao must have I'm also afraid that if you find out something, my lord, you may jump over the wall in a hurry and kill me, a witness. It's a pity..."
It's a pity that the murderer didn't catch him, but instead caught Han Jingting.
Xie Changying frowned when he heard what he said. He actually made the bait himself, which sounds really dangerous.
But Xie Changying thought about it again, whether Prince Li is dangerous or not has nothing to do with him, if he can really lure out the murderer, it would be a good thing indeed.But now it seems that the murderer has not been found.
Li Luo added: "By the way, at the banquet yesterday, the little prince mentioned that he was familiar with the baby bird token. Your lord, go and ask the prince, where he saw the baby bird token."
Xie Changying didn't answer.
"My lord?" Li Luo looked at him strangely.
Xie Changying still didn't answer, as if he didn't hear what Li Luo was saying at all.
Li Luo blinked, suddenly realized, and said, "Did the prince already ask the prince?"
It's not just Li Luo who is more curious about the baby's token, but Xie Changying has always been more concerned about it.After all, Xie Changying is also a member of the Daxie royal family, so naturally he cares about Daxie's affairs.
The little prince Xie Tang said that he had seen the baby bird's token before, and Xie Changying remembered it after waking up early in the morning, so he went to Xie Tang's place in the morning.
Li Luo guessed right, Xie Changying had indeed asked Xie Tang about it.
Li Luo said again: "It seems that the little prince has already told you, but you are unwilling to tell me."
Xie Tang did tell Xie Changying that he had seen similar patterns before, but it was a while ago.He had seen a small bead on the body of the second prince Xie Di, and the carving on it was a chick.
Because that bead is not a night pearl, it is not rare, so Xie Tang didn't pay much attention to it, but his memory is not bad, so when he saw the baby bird pattern again, he immediately remembered it.
When Xie Changying heard about this, she was very shocked.The second prince Xie Di actually had a chick totem bead in his hand, which meant that the second prince Xie Di was very likely to be involved with those who wanted to make big things happen, even he was one of them.
This matter suddenly became complicated. It sounded like a fantasy, but Xie Changying thought about it carefully and felt that it was possible.
Xie Di was dissatisfied with Xie Tang as the prince, and it was not a day or two.And Xie Tang didn't have any major faults, so he won't be abolished at all, that is to say, Xie Di and the crown prince are probably out of luck.Xie Di might not be reconciled to being the second prince forever, so if he unites with someone, it's not surprising that he wants to rebel.
But all of this was Xie Changying's guess. He hadn't found the chick's token yet, nor had he discovered any unruly behavior by Xie Di.
Li Luo looked at Xie Changying seriously, and said, "My lord, do you still want to solve the case as soon as possible? The little prince has seen the baby bird token, which means that the person holding the baby bird token should be lurking in the palace. It may be the same person who killed Taifu Zhao."
Judging from the letter Li Luo received, Taifu Zhao was also one of the people responsible for the event, but Taifu Zhao repented and did not want to continue to participate.He had a disagreement with someone in the palace, and Qiulu heard them arguing.
It is very possible that the person who had a disagreement with Zhao Taifu stabbed Zhao Taifu in a moment of excitement.
The biggest problem is that Taifu Zhao was stabbed, why didn't he shout out?Didn't you call the guards?
Li Luo had been thinking about this question before.
Taifu Zhao didn't shout, but left instead, entered the hall and closed the door, as if he didn't want more people to find out about it.It's just that Zhao Taifu didn't expect that the knife wound was too serious, and it would kill him in a short time, and he didn't have time to save himself.
Li Luo felt that the reason why Taifu Zhao didn't yell and didn't let others find out about this matter was because the other party had a handle on him, if someone else was called, not only the assailant would be in bad luck, but Taifu Zhao himself would also be in bad luck.
Therefore, the perpetrator is probably Taifu Zhao's accomplice, and he is also a person who holds the baby bird's token.As it happened, Xie Tang said that he had seen the baby bird token before.Xie Tang has been active in the palace all year round, if he ever saw the baby bird token, the last possible place would be in the palace.
Li Luo said: "Don't forget, we agreed that I will tell you where Li Luo is after the case of Mr. Zhao is over."
Xie Changying's complexion suddenly turned ugly. Li Luo's threats were quite effective. He was silent just now, but now he has wavered.
Xie Changying said: "Second Prince."
Li Luo stood up immediately, and said in surprise, "Second prince? Is the person holding the chick's token the second prince?"
Although this result was beyond Li Luo's expectation, it was reasonable and made Li Luo calm down quickly.
Li Luo sat down again and said, "This is going to be bad."
Xie Changying frowned and said, "Oops?"
Li Luo said: "The person who killed Taifu Zhao is most likely the second prince. If it is really the second prince, then the matter is of great importance. We have not found any favorable evidence, and we cannot point out the murderer at all."
And the longer the time dragged on, the less evidence there would be. The second prince must be trying his best to erase the evidence these days, including killing Qiulu, the perjurer.
not only……
Li Luo said: "If my guess is correct, it will only take a few days, and there will be a scapegoat who will take the initiative."
Xie Changying said, "The scapegoat..."
Li Luo nodded and said: "We are investigating Taifu Zhao's case so tightly, even if the second prince erases all the evidence, he will still feel guilty. The best way is not to blame others, but to find a scapegoat. Only this If the 'true culprit' is found in this matter, and the emperor closes the case himself, it will be considered as the real end, so that he will not be implicated again, won't it?"
indeed……
Xie Changying was silent for a moment.
Li Luo really guessed it right. On the second day early in the morning, the sky had just dawned, and the news came from the palace. Li Wuzheng, the minister of Dali Temple, came to Xie Changying in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he shouted: "Your Majesty!" The prince is not good! The real culprit who killed Taifu Zhao has surrendered himself!"
Xie Changying was no longer surprised, and sure enough, a scapegoat appeared.
Li Wuzheng got angry and said: "The real culprit is a young eunuch in the palace. He admitted that he killed Taifu Zhao, and he has already been taken by the emperor for interrogation. Hurry up, my lord, let's go into the palace to have a look."
Xie Changying didn't get up, nor did he intend to enter the palace, and said, "It seems that this matter can only be so...it's over."
Li Wuzheng couldn't understand what he said.
Xie Changying said to Li Wuzheng: "Go and check the details of that little eunuch, and see if there are any other family members in his family. Also, check if he has any contact with the second prince."
Li Wuzheng was at a loss, but Xie Changying asked him to investigate, and he went there immediately.
The little eunuch doesn't have any family members. He has been in the palace for several years, and his status is not high. I heard that life in the palace is not very easy, but he does know the second prince.
I heard that when the little eunuch just entered the palace, he was often bullied. Later, the second prince accidentally saw it and seemed to help him, so for a long time afterwards, the little eunuch always praised the second prince for being a good person. , Said that the second prince is a good person.
Xie Changying couldn't help sneering after hearing this, and said, "Good guy?"
The case of Taifu Zhao has been dragging on for a long time, suddenly a "murderer" turned himself in, the emperor personally interrogated him, and then confirmed that the young eunuch was the real murderer.
In fact, there were some loopholes in the little eunuch's confession, but the emperor didn't seem to care, and wanted to close the case early.After all, Li Guo's envoys have already entered the capital, and Mr. Zhao's affairs can never end, and it would not be good for outsiders to watch the excitement.
So after the emperor interrogated the young eunuch, even if the case was closed, no one else dared to say no matter how meaningful it was.
When Li Luo heard the news in the Prince's Mansion, he couldn't help shaking his head.
"Seven seven!"
Li Luo walked to the door, pushed it open and shouted outside, and sure enough, he saw Xie Xiaoqi coming out soon.
Xie Xiaoqi was still observing Li Luo in secret, but it was more like Li Luo's personal bodyguard, who was almost there at any time.
Xie Xiaoqi walked over and said, "What orders does Prince Li have?"
Li Luo asked: "Qiqi, did the prince mention me recently?"
Xie Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "No."
"How could it not be possible?" Li Luo asked unwillingly, and said, "On that day, after the day when I shared the same room with the lord alone, did the lord ever ask you what happened to me and him?"
Xie Xiaoqi blushed inexplicably, kept her mouth shut and did not speak.
Li Luo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Did he say that what happened that night must never be known to others, and we must act as if nothing happened!"
Xie Xiaoqi opened his mouth wide and almost asked in surprise, how did you know?
Fortunately, Xie Xiaoqi reacted fairly quickly, and quickly closed his mouth again without saying a word.
Li Luo laughed, and said: "He really said that, this is simply the standard speech of a scumbag."
Li Luo made up his mind, and couldn't help laughing.When he thought about it again, in fact, nothing happened that night, and it was Xie Changying who frightened him, so he couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't the prince too cute?" Li Luo said.
Xie Xiaoqi's eyelids twitched, he could fully understand what Li Luo was thinking, he didn't think Wang Ye was cute at all.
Li Luo said: "By the way, Qiqi. Where is the prince now? I want to see him."
Xie Xiaoqi replied, "Going out of the city."
"What did you go out of town for?" Li Luo said, "Are you on business again? Then let's go out of town too, let's meet the prince by chance! How romantic!"
Xie Xiaoqi: "..."
Anyway, no matter where Li Luo is going, Xie Xiaoqi will definitely follow.
It's just that Li Luo hasn't left the house yet, but a servant came to report that the little princess wanted to see Li Luo.
Li Luo felt a little headache when he heard that, the little princess probably wanted to tell herself again that he didn't want to marry the second prince.Although Li Luo didn't want to see the second prince, but the emperor had issued an imperial decree, Li Luo didn't want to enter the palace at all now, so he couldn't help the little princess.
The little princess quickly entered the mansion, walked into Li Luo's room, and closed the door, as if preparing to plot a big event.
Sure enough, as soon as she saw Li Luo's face, she said: "Brother Prince! You have to save me! The emperor of Daxie has already issued an order. I really want to marry the second prince. I don't want to."
Li Luo smiled dryly and said, "I really can't do anything about this matter. Didn't you find a way to go there before? Didn't you say to cook?"
When mentioning this, the little princess frowned and said, "I went to Yingchuan Prince's Mansion a few times, but the prince didn't see me at all. I never saw the prince's face. How can I cook rice with raw rice?"
Upon hearing this, Li Luo secretly patted his chest twice.Li Luo felt that besides himself being green on himself, it's better not to have other people green on me.
"Brother Prince! Please help me find a way." The little princess was not reconciled, and said, "Do I really want to marry the second prince?"
"Princess."
Before Li Luo could speak, someone beside him spoke up and walked over and said, "Princess, don't be self-willed. As the royal family of Da Li, the princess wants to relieve Da Li's worries and problems. The princess looks at the crown prince. Li's foundation, willingly came to Xie country as a hostage, isn't the situation much more difficult than that of the princess?"
Li Luo turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and sized him up calmly.
He is the princess' bodyguard. He looks like he is in his 30s. He looks very "low-key".
But as soon as the guard opened his mouth, Li Luo knew that his identity was definitely not simple. How could a guard talk to the princess like this?
Especially the little princess heard the guard's words, but she didn't retort stubbornly, she just lowered her head very aggrieved.
Li Luo's eyes flickered, he looked at the guard and said, "Uncle Wu."
The guard nodded, this is the promise, and Li Luo guessed it right, this man is not a guard at all, but the fifth uncle of Li Guo in disguise, eye-catching.
The little princess said: "By the way, last time I conveyed the words of the fifth uncle to the prince's brother. If the fifth uncle doesn't believe me, ask the prince's brother. It has nothing to do with me because the prince's brother didn't attend the appointment."
Li Luo didn't know where the old place they mentioned was, how could he go to the appointment?
Li Luo remained calm and said very calmly: "That day King Yingchuan became suspicious of me, so it was a bit inconvenient for me to go to the appointment, Wushu won't blame me?"
"The crown prince is too worried." Uncle Wuhuang looked easy to talk, and said, "You are alone in the capital of Xie country, and there are difficulties everywhere around you, and Xie Changying, king of Yingchuan, is a difficult person. He stared at you, you were right in not rushing to the appointment, how could Uncle Wu blame you?"
Li Luo said, "It's good that Fifth Uncle isn't angry."
Fifth Emperor Uncle said again: "I asked you to win over Xie Changying before because I thought Xie Changying was a useful person. If we could form an alliance with us, both parties would benefit. But now..."
Uncle Wu Huang pondered slightly, and said: "Xie Changying is too difficult to deal with, and it seems that he cannot be won over. The crown prince does not need to be attached to King Yingchuan alone, it is better... just give up."
When the little princess heard them talking about serious matters, she stood by and didn't interrupt.
Hearing Xie Changying mentioned by the other party, Li Luo thought about it for a while, trying to match the fifth uncle's words.
Li Luo said: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, although King Yingchuan is difficult to deal with, I still know what to do."
Uncle Wuhuang said: "Prince, don't make things difficult for yourself. This King Yingchuan can't win over. It's not a big loss to kill him to avoid future troubles."
"What?!" The little princess next to her exclaimed, and said, "Uncle Wu, are you going to kill King Yingchuan? Really?"
Li Luo was also shocked.
The little princess obviously had a crush on Xie Changying, and said, "You don't need to kill him, that's too..."
Uncle Wu Huang only seemed easy-going, but in fact he was cruel and merciless, and said: "I asked someone to deliver a letter to you before, and I have already mentioned that if you can't win Xie Changying over, you will find a chance to get rid of him. But you have been delaying It’s too late to make a move.”
Li Luo said: "I didn't find a chance. After all... King Yingchuan's martial arts is very strong, and there are many guards around him, so..."
"Oh?" Uncle Wu Huang took a look at Li Luo, and said suspiciously: "Is it true that I didn't find a chance?"
Li Luo was drumming in his heart, this Fifth Emperor Uncle is worthy of doing great things, he doesn't seem to be easy to fool, he must cheer up.
Uncle Wuhuang said: "Isn't it because you have become soft-hearted? You must not forget what your identity is, and you must not forget how your father and brothers and sisters died. You still have blood feuds, and the blood of your clansmen. Expectations have to be borne! Don't be swayed just because of some trivial matters of love! Are you really not finding a chance to attack Xie Changying, or are you emotionally attached to him?"
"What?" The little princess opened her eyes wide and said, "Brother Prince, you... have you fallen in love with King Yingchuan too? You are all... all men. But no wonder, you have always refused to help me Busy, you actually like Xie Changying too!"
Li Luo was startled for a while, but he couldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle Wuhuang was worrying too much, but he just pretended that Xie Changying was the one to take care of. If I don't move him, I'm afraid I won't be able to win him over. Moreover, I really didn't find a chance to do it, so it's not because I'm merciful."
"It's good that you're not emotional." Uncle Wu Huang didn't hold him tight, and said, "I thought of a way to get rid of Xie Changying in one fell swoop, without leaving any future trouble."
Li Luo immediately asked: "What method?"
This Uncle Wu Huang's palace is extremely deep, and it is definitely not a good thing for him to have his eye on Xie Changying. Li Luo couldn't wait to know how he would deal with Xie Changying.
Fifth Emperor Uncle said: "Xie Changying has been looking for a little eunuch named Li Luo recently, and I heard that Xie Changying treats him very differently. Is this Li Luo in your hands?"
Li Luo said: "It's really not here, does Fifth Uncle believe in other people's nonsense?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're here or not." Uncle Wu Huang smiled and said, "Anyway, Xie Changying decided that Li Luo was taken away by you, right?"
Li Luo nodded, it was true, Uncle Wu Huang was very well informed.
Uncle Wu Huang said: "He cares so much about Li Luo, and if he cares about it, he will be chaotic. Li Luo is his weakness. As long as he releases the news and uses Li Luo as a bait, he can easily trick Xie Changying into the trap. Although Xie Changying It’s powerful, but it’s hard to escape!”
Li Luo's heartbeat quickened a lot, and he said, "Uncle Wu's method is feasible, so why not leave this matter to me."
"No need." Uncle Wu Huang said, "The crown prince is not in good health recently, and the most important thing is to take good care of him. In fact, I have asked someone to handle this matter."
Not only did Li Luo's heart beat rapidly, he almost stopped breathing.It suddenly occurred to him that just now, he asked himself where the prince Xie Xiaoqi was. Xie Xiaoqi said that the prince had gone out of the city, but there was no
Li Luo was tied here, and his eyes were blocked, so he couldn't see clearly, and the black figure didn't open his mouth just now, sight, hearing, and touch were all useless, leaving only the sense of smell.
Li Luo sniffed, and said, "There is a faint smell of medicine, but it shouldn't be you drinking or applying medicine."
He changed the subject and said: "During the banquet last night, the little prince seemed not in a good mood, his face was a little pale, is he sick? He should have been taking medicine these days? I smelled the medicine It's similar to that on the little prince, I guess it's because you are always with the little prince, so it's unavoidable that you have some faint smell of medicine."
"So..." Li Luo raised the corners of his lips happily, and said, "Now Taifu Han can ask me questions."
With a sound of "唰——", Li Luo said those words, and the black cloth covering his eyes was taken off.
Li Luo blinked his eyes, got used to the sunlight a little bit, and quickly saw the person standing in front of him clearly.He guessed right, it was Han Tai Fu Han Jingting.
"It's a pity, it's a pity..." Li Luo shook his head and said, "It really wasn't the real culprit who killed Taifu Zhao, Taifu Han, you will disrupt my plan like this."
Han Jingting has a very gentle face, but he is a cold person, he doesn't answer Li Luo's words, he doesn't seem to care who killed Taifu Zhao at all.
Han Jingting opened his mouth and said, "Where is Li Luo?"
Just now Han Jingting said that he wanted to ask a question, and the question was where Li Luo was.
Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that this question is not what you want to ask, but what the little prince wants to ask."
These days, the little prince Xie Tang was released from the prison cell of Dali Temple. It should have been a happy thing, but Li Luo suddenly disappeared, which made a group of people worried. Not only Xie Changying had been looking for Li Luo, Xie Tang was also Helping find him.
The little prince caught some wind and cold in the prison cell, and his body was not strong, so he felt a little uncomfortable after he came out. These days, because he was worried about Li Luo, his illness came and went. It really hurts to see.
Li Luo was a little proud. It turned out that besides Xie Changying, there were so many people who cared about him. It seemed that his popularity was really good.
Li Luo looked at Han Jingting and said, "You asked me this question, but if I told the truth, you would definitely not believe me."
"Then talk about it." Han Jingting was very calm.
Without stuttering, Li Luo said, "I am Li Luo."
After he finished speaking, Han Jingting who was standing in front of him narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.But soon, Han Jingting spoke again.
Han Jingting said, "I believe it."
"What?" Li Luo showed a very shocked expression, then shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, no! You can't believe it! The first person who believes in me must be my prince, otherwise it will sound weird, like We had an affair in private."
For a moment, Han Jingting's expression cracked a little.
Li Luo became a little curious, and said, "Why do you believe my words? I look like this, and I say I am Li Luo, it's unbelievable? Why do you believe it so calmly?"
"Because of you, I didn't go to see that person yesterday." Han Jingting said.
Li Luo thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "Fifth Uncle?"
Han Jingting didn't speak, Li Luo asked again: "Teacher knows a lot of things, especially about the Li country. Why don't you bother Taifu Han and give me a little science? Although I look a lot like Li Prince, but you also believe it, I am Li Luo, I don't know much about Li Guo at all. For example... Who is the Fifth Uncle who asked me to meet yesterday."
Han Jingting said that he believed Li Luo's words, because if the person in front of him was really Prince Li, then it was absolutely impossible for him to miss the appointment yesterday.
In the eyes of Prince Li, his Fifth Uncle is the most important existence, even more important than his life.He lingered on in Daxie just to help Fifth Uncle take over the Li country and become the emperor of the Li country.
Han Jingting looked Li Luo up and down carefully, and said, "It seems that you are really not Prince Li."
The fifth uncle that the little princess wanted to see Prince Li was Li Guo's Fifth Emperor Uncle, and Xie Changying guessed it right.
This time, Li Guo's mission came to Beijing, and the Fifth Emperor Uncle was not included at all.But what is surprising is that Uncle Wuhuang is definitely in the capital of Daxie, and last night, in Daxie's palace, he even asked Prince Li to meet at the old place.
Li Luo pondered for a while, then said: "It seems that this Fifth Uncle has great powers, his hands have even reached into Da Xie's palace, tsk tsk, it's amazing."
Han Jingting's expression was not good, and he said, "It's more than that. You must have known about the young bird's token, right? The person who found Uncle Zhou in Sishi Villa is Uncle Wuhuang."
"So it was him?" Li Luo nodded and said, "Do you want to muddy the water?"
Nowadays, many people want to get the baby bird token, and it seems that Uncle Wuhuang is also determined to get the baby bird token.
This fifth emperor uncle is indeed not simple. So many princes and princesses of the Li country died back then, but the fifth emperor uncle beheaded the "rebel" and became a hero in the eyes of the new emperor. a seat.
Logically speaking, he could be regarded as a traitor among the old Li people, but Prince Li, the son of the late emperor, was very close to Wu Huangshu, and even obeyed Wu Huangshu's words, thinking that Wu Huangshu was forced to do nothing and was holding back his power.
Prince Li knew that his health was short, so he didn't want to be the emperor of Li country at all, he just wanted to help Fifth Emperor Uncle as much as possible to take Li Luo back, and wanted to help Fifth Emperor Uncle to ascend to the throne of Li Country.
The fifth emperor's uncle had gained great trust from both Li Guoxinjun and Li Prince, and extended his hand into Daxie's palace, and was still looking for someone who had the baby bird's token.What he was thinking in his heart, the meaning could not be more clear.
Li Luo sighed and said: "This fifth uncle should not be underestimated. He is a man with ambition and strategy, and he is not on the same level as Taifu Han. I don't think you, Taifu Han, have the upper hand."
"If we cooperate, we must have the upper hand." Han Jingting said.
Li Luo smiled and said, "Cooperation? I'm weak alone, except for my better-looking face and smarter mind, and of course my voice is nice, and..."
Li Luo boasted that he was not soft-spoken at all, and Han Jingting, who was standing opposite, couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him, saying: "Xie Changying is the person of Da Xie, or the royal family of Da Xie, he definitely doesn't want five Let the emperor do something that is not good for Da Xie."
Hearing his words, Li Luo seemed to have a threatening meaning in his words, but Li Luo was not angry at all, instead nodded his head and said with a smile: "Teacher Han is smart, he can tell at a glance that the prince is my weakness. The prince is so cute and beautiful, and he still likes me so much, how can I bear to make him sad?"
Han Jingting said: "So we cooperate."
When Han Jingting reappeared at the gate of the little prince Xie Tang's mansion, it was almost noon.
He didn't need to inform, he went directly into the prince's mansion, and the servants saw the Taifu coming, and they were no strangers to it.This Han Jingting often comes to the Prince's Mansion, and often stays here.
Han Jingting went straight in, towards the room of the young prince Xie Tang.When he reached the door, he saw an eunuch withdrawing with a bowl of medicine in his hand, but the medicine didn't take a sip.
Han Jingting said: "Wait a minute."
The eunuch immediately stopped and said, "Teacher Han, you are here."
"The prince doesn't drink medicine anymore?" Han Jingting asked.
The eunuch was a little embarrassed, nodded and said in a low voice: "The crown prince thought the medicine was too bitter, so he asked the minister to pour it out secretly, and said not to ask the grand master to find out."
Taifu Han picked up the medicine bowl, seemed a little helpless, said: "I see, you step back, I'll go in and have a look."
"Yes." The eunuch left.
Holding the medicine bowl, Han Jingting lightly knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and walked into Xie Tang's room.
The room was a bit hot and humid, bypassing the screen and entering the inner room, one could see the curling heat, it turned out that Xie Tang was taking a bath.
When Xie Tang heard the movement, he thought it was the boy who came in, and said: "If you don't want to eat lunch, just take it away."
Han Jingting took a look inside, and sure enough, the lunch was still on the table, seemingly unmoved.
Xie Tang was lying in the bathtub, with his back to Han Jingting. He didn't realize who came in for a moment, and asked, "Has Mr. Han not come back yet? I don't know where he went early in the morning."
"The Grand Tutor is back." Han Jingting smiled, walked over and said, "I happened to see that the Crown Prince refused to drink the medicine."
Xie Tang was startled, and quickly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Han Jingting standing behind him, holding a medicine bowl in his hand.
Xie Tang stammered a little, and said, "Who refuses to drink the medicine anymore, I just... think the medicine is a bit cold, so I asked someone to take it out and reheat it, I'll drink it now!"
Han Jingting gave him the medicine bowl and said, "The prince is so obedient, so I can rest assured as a teacher."
Xie Tang took the medicine, immediately frowning, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet, sitting in the bathtub and drinking the medicine with his neck tilted, unusually bold.
The tan medicinal soup overflowed from the corner of his lips, flowed down his chin, and dripped into the bathtub.
Han Jingting shook his head, took off the handkerchief beside him, wiped his mouth, and said, "So casual, are you drinking medicine, or are you going to take a medicinal bath?"
Xie Tang finally finished drinking the medicine, his face was wrinkled with bitterness, and said, "Master, where did you go early in the morning?"
Han Jingting put the medicine bowl aside, didn't mention Li Luo's matter, just said: "Of course I have something to do."
Xie Tang actually didn't want to ask in detail, and said: "Then... have you found Li Luo?"
Han Jingting paused for a moment and said, "Not yet."
Xie Tang looked disappointed, and lay down on the edge of the bathtub with his head slumped, saying, "Why did it disappear, where did it go?"
Xie Tang was lying on the bathtub, with two white arms overlapping and embracing each other, the butterfly bone lines on his back were very delicate.However, on the butterfly bone on his left side, there is a scar that looks a little eye-catching. It should be an old wound that has healed for a long time, but the scar still remains.
Han Jingting reached out and touched his scar lightly, Xie Tang turned to look at him.
Han Jingting asked: "Did you apply the medicine?"
"This scar doesn't hurt a long time ago." Xie Tang said, "It's been a few years."
"It's an ointment for removing scars." Han Jingting said.
As he said, he looked inside, and sure enough, he saw the medicine bottle on the small cabinet, so he took it and opened it, got some ointment and applied it on Xie Tang's butterfly bone scar.
Xie Tang said indifferently: "I just have a scar all over my body, and it's on my back. It's not visible to others. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need to apply medicine. Besides, if others say that a man has a few scars, it will have that smell. Son."
"Has that smell?" Han Jingting was amused by Xie Tang, and said, "It was Li Luo who said it again?"
Except for Li Luo, no one would say such strange words.
Xie Tang nodded.
Han Jingting carefully applied the medicine to Xie Tang, and when he touched the scar with his fingertips, he seemed to be thinking of something else, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Master?" Although Xie Tang didn't turn his head, he realized that Han Jingting was distracted and called him.
Han Jingting said: "Okay, don't catch a cold if you are still sick, the water is not too hot, just wipe off your body, come out and eat your lunch."
"I understand Master." Xie Tang nodded obediently.
……
"Princess, the Second Prince came to look for you and said he wanted to take you into the palace for a stroll." The servant girl said.
The little princess of Li Guo was full of reluctance, and said: "I don't want to go, I don't want to go."
After saying that, she turned around and left, instead of going back to her room, she went to the room where the accompanying guards were staying.
"Uncle Wu? Uncle Wu, are you there?"
The little princess sneaked, lying on the door of a room, and whispered something inside, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.
There was someone in the room who had just finished taking a bath. He put on his clothes, and there was a very glaring sword wound on the left button. It seemed to be an old wound. It had already healed up now, but it left a deep scar.At first glance, it looked quite similar to the injury on Xie Tang's butterfly bone.
The man put on his clothes quickly, then walked out the door and said, "Why is the princess here, please keep your voice down."
The little princess entered the room and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wu, no one else will know you're here."
It turns out that Uncle Wu Huang of Li Guo pretended to be the little princess' bodyguard, and now he lives in the post house.
When the little princess saw the fifth emperor's uncle, she was full of grievances and said: "Fifth uncle, you can help me, the prince's brother is not willing to help me, I don't want to marry the second prince, I don't want to."
Uncle Wu Huang smiled and said, "The second prince is considered a good-looking talent, why don't you want to? Besides... the second prince belongs to us, if you can marry him, it will be more convenient for you to pass on news in the future."
The little princess pouted, and said, "It's ours, I don't like it, and I don't like him. Does Uncle Wu care about my life or death? Well, I have to figure out my own way!"
As the little princess spoke, she turned around and left. Uncle Wu Huang stopped her and said, "Don't mess around, where are you going?"
The little princess said angrily, "I'm going to Yingchuan Palace!"
At this moment, Yingchuan Palace.
Li Luo woke up leisurely, supported his slightly aching head, and sat up.
"Wake up." Someone said coldly beside him.
Li Luo looked sideways, and said with surprise on his face: "My lord, it's you."
Xie Changying was sitting at the tea table, while Xie Xiaoqi was standing aside.
Li Luo said: "Am I in the prince's residence?"
Xie Changying did not answer, but asked, "You went out of the city this morning and were hijacked. Who hijacked you?"
Li Luo smiled and said, "My lord, you care so much about me."
The person who hijacked Li Luo was undoubtedly Han Jingting.Later, Han Jingting also "sent" Li Luo back to the city.
In fact, according to Li Luo's intention, he just needs to walk back to the city, and he doesn't need to bother Han Jingting for help.But Han Jingting insisted on "sending him a ride", before Li Luo could react, he was dizzy for a while, and was stunned by Han Jingting again, and fell unconscious on the ground.
When Li Luo woke up again, he was already in Yingchuan Palace.Li Luo didn't know exactly how he came back and why he was in the palace.But the result was good, Li Luo sat on the bed happily, and looked at Xie Changying with a smile on his face.
Xie Changying ignored his teasing, Li Luo had no choice but to change the subject and said, "I originally wanted to seduce the murderer today. After all, the prince recently investigated the case of Taifu Zhao, and the investigation was so urgent, the murderer who killed Taifu Zhao must have I'm also afraid that if you find out something, my lord, you may jump over the wall in a hurry and kill me, a witness. It's a pity..."
It's a pity that the murderer didn't catch him, but instead caught Han Jingting.
Xie Changying frowned when he heard what he said. He actually made the bait himself, which sounds really dangerous.
But Xie Changying thought about it again, whether Prince Li is dangerous or not has nothing to do with him, if he can really lure out the murderer, it would be a good thing indeed.But now it seems that the murderer has not been found.
Li Luo added: "By the way, at the banquet yesterday, the little prince mentioned that he was familiar with the baby bird token. Your lord, go and ask the prince, where he saw the baby bird token."
Xie Changying didn't answer.
"My lord?" Li Luo looked at him strangely.
Xie Changying still didn't answer, as if he didn't hear what Li Luo was saying at all.
Li Luo blinked, suddenly realized, and said, "Did the prince already ask the prince?"
It's not just Li Luo who is more curious about the baby's token, but Xie Changying has always been more concerned about it.After all, Xie Changying is also a member of the Daxie royal family, so naturally he cares about Daxie's affairs.
The little prince Xie Tang said that he had seen the baby bird's token before, and Xie Changying remembered it after waking up early in the morning, so he went to Xie Tang's place in the morning.
Li Luo guessed right, Xie Changying had indeed asked Xie Tang about it.
Li Luo said again: "It seems that the little prince has already told you, but you are unwilling to tell me."
Xie Tang did tell Xie Changying that he had seen similar patterns before, but it was a while ago.He had seen a small bead on the body of the second prince Xie Di, and the carving on it was a chick.
Because that bead is not a night pearl, it is not rare, so Xie Tang didn't pay much attention to it, but his memory is not bad, so when he saw the baby bird pattern again, he immediately remembered it.
When Xie Changying heard about this, she was very shocked.The second prince Xie Di actually had a chick totem bead in his hand, which meant that the second prince Xie Di was very likely to be involved with those who wanted to make big things happen, even he was one of them.
This matter suddenly became complicated. It sounded like a fantasy, but Xie Changying thought about it carefully and felt that it was possible.
Xie Di was dissatisfied with Xie Tang as the prince, and it was not a day or two.And Xie Tang didn't have any major faults, so he won't be abolished at all, that is to say, Xie Di and the crown prince are probably out of luck.Xie Di might not be reconciled to being the second prince forever, so if he unites with someone, it's not surprising that he wants to rebel.
But all of this was Xie Changying's guess. He hadn't found the chick's token yet, nor had he discovered any unruly behavior by Xie Di.
Li Luo looked at Xie Changying seriously, and said, "My lord, do you still want to solve the case as soon as possible? The little prince has seen the baby bird token, which means that the person holding the baby bird token should be lurking in the palace. It may be the same person who killed Taifu Zhao."
Judging from the letter Li Luo received, Taifu Zhao was also one of the people responsible for the event, but Taifu Zhao repented and did not want to continue to participate.He had a disagreement with someone in the palace, and Qiulu heard them arguing.
It is very possible that the person who had a disagreement with Zhao Taifu stabbed Zhao Taifu in a moment of excitement.
The biggest problem is that Taifu Zhao was stabbed, why didn't he shout out?Didn't you call the guards?
Li Luo had been thinking about this question before.
Taifu Zhao didn't shout, but left instead, entered the hall and closed the door, as if he didn't want more people to find out about it.It's just that Zhao Taifu didn't expect that the knife wound was too serious, and it would kill him in a short time, and he didn't have time to save himself.
Li Luo felt that the reason why Taifu Zhao didn't yell and didn't let others find out about this matter was because the other party had a handle on him, if someone else was called, not only the assailant would be in bad luck, but Taifu Zhao himself would also be in bad luck.
Therefore, the perpetrator is probably Taifu Zhao's accomplice, and he is also a person who holds the baby bird's token.As it happened, Xie Tang said that he had seen the baby bird token before.Xie Tang has been active in the palace all year round, if he ever saw the baby bird token, the last possible place would be in the palace.
Li Luo said: "Don't forget, we agreed that I will tell you where Li Luo is after the case of Mr. Zhao is over."
Xie Changying's complexion suddenly turned ugly. Li Luo's threats were quite effective. He was silent just now, but now he has wavered.
Xie Changying said: "Second Prince."
Li Luo stood up immediately, and said in surprise, "Second prince? Is the person holding the chick's token the second prince?"
Although this result was beyond Li Luo's expectation, it was reasonable and made Li Luo calm down quickly.
Li Luo sat down again and said, "This is going to be bad."
Xie Changying frowned and said, "Oops?"
Li Luo said: "The person who killed Taifu Zhao is most likely the second prince. If it is really the second prince, then the matter is of great importance. We have not found any favorable evidence, and we cannot point out the murderer at all."
And the longer the time dragged on, the less evidence there would be. The second prince must be trying his best to erase the evidence these days, including killing Qiulu, the perjurer.
not only……
Li Luo said: "If my guess is correct, it will only take a few days, and there will be a scapegoat who will take the initiative."
Xie Changying said, "The scapegoat..."
Li Luo nodded and said: "We are investigating Taifu Zhao's case so tightly, even if the second prince erases all the evidence, he will still feel guilty. The best way is not to blame others, but to find a scapegoat. Only this If the 'true culprit' is found in this matter, and the emperor closes the case himself, it will be considered as the real end, so that he will not be implicated again, won't it?"
indeed……
Xie Changying was silent for a moment.
Li Luo really guessed it right. On the second day early in the morning, the sky had just dawned, and the news came from the palace. Li Wuzheng, the minister of Dali Temple, came to Xie Changying in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he shouted: "Your Majesty!" The prince is not good! The real culprit who killed Taifu Zhao has surrendered himself!"
Xie Changying was no longer surprised, and sure enough, a scapegoat appeared.
Li Wuzheng got angry and said: "The real culprit is a young eunuch in the palace. He admitted that he killed Taifu Zhao, and he has already been taken by the emperor for interrogation. Hurry up, my lord, let's go into the palace to have a look."
Xie Changying didn't get up, nor did he intend to enter the palace, and said, "It seems that this matter can only be so...it's over."
Li Wuzheng couldn't understand what he said.
Xie Changying said to Li Wuzheng: "Go and check the details of that little eunuch, and see if there are any other family members in his family. Also, check if he has any contact with the second prince."
Li Wuzheng was at a loss, but Xie Changying asked him to investigate, and he went there immediately.
The little eunuch doesn't have any family members. He has been in the palace for several years, and his status is not high. I heard that life in the palace is not very easy, but he does know the second prince.
I heard that when the little eunuch just entered the palace, he was often bullied. Later, the second prince accidentally saw it and seemed to help him, so for a long time afterwards, the little eunuch always praised the second prince for being a good person. , Said that the second prince is a good person.
Xie Changying couldn't help sneering after hearing this, and said, "Good guy?"
The case of Taifu Zhao has been dragging on for a long time, suddenly a "murderer" turned himself in, the emperor personally interrogated him, and then confirmed that the young eunuch was the real murderer.
In fact, there were some loopholes in the little eunuch's confession, but the emperor didn't seem to care, and wanted to close the case early.After all, Li Guo's envoys have already entered the capital, and Mr. Zhao's affairs can never end, and it would not be good for outsiders to watch the excitement.
So after the emperor interrogated the young eunuch, even if the case was closed, no one else dared to say no matter how meaningful it was.
When Li Luo heard the news in the Prince's Mansion, he couldn't help shaking his head.
"Seven seven!"
Li Luo walked to the door, pushed it open and shouted outside, and sure enough, he saw Xie Xiaoqi coming out soon.
Xie Xiaoqi was still observing Li Luo in secret, but it was more like Li Luo's personal bodyguard, who was almost there at any time.
Xie Xiaoqi walked over and said, "What orders does Prince Li have?"
Li Luo asked: "Qiqi, did the prince mention me recently?"
Xie Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "No."
"How could it not be possible?" Li Luo asked unwillingly, and said, "On that day, after the day when I shared the same room with the lord alone, did the lord ever ask you what happened to me and him?"
Xie Xiaoqi blushed inexplicably, kept her mouth shut and did not speak.
Li Luo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Did he say that what happened that night must never be known to others, and we must act as if nothing happened!"
Xie Xiaoqi opened his mouth wide and almost asked in surprise, how did you know?
Fortunately, Xie Xiaoqi reacted fairly quickly, and quickly closed his mouth again without saying a word.
Li Luo laughed, and said: "He really said that, this is simply the standard speech of a scumbag."
Li Luo made up his mind, and couldn't help laughing.When he thought about it again, in fact, nothing happened that night, and it was Xie Changying who frightened him, so he couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't the prince too cute?" Li Luo said.
Xie Xiaoqi's eyelids twitched, he could fully understand what Li Luo was thinking, he didn't think Wang Ye was cute at all.
Li Luo said: "By the way, Qiqi. Where is the prince now? I want to see him."
Xie Xiaoqi replied, "Going out of the city."
"What did you go out of town for?" Li Luo said, "Are you on business again? Then let's go out of town too, let's meet the prince by chance! How romantic!"
Xie Xiaoqi: "..."
Anyway, no matter where Li Luo is going, Xie Xiaoqi will definitely follow.
It's just that Li Luo hasn't left the house yet, but a servant came to report that the little princess wanted to see Li Luo.
Li Luo felt a little headache when he heard that, the little princess probably wanted to tell herself again that he didn't want to marry the second prince.Although Li Luo didn't want to see the second prince, but the emperor had issued an imperial decree, Li Luo didn't want to enter the palace at all now, so he couldn't help the little princess.
The little princess quickly entered the mansion, walked into Li Luo's room, and closed the door, as if preparing to plot a big event.
Sure enough, as soon as she saw Li Luo's face, she said: "Brother Prince! You have to save me! The emperor of Daxie has already issued an order. I really want to marry the second prince. I don't want to."
Li Luo smiled dryly and said, "I really can't do anything about this matter. Didn't you find a way to go there before? Didn't you say to cook?"
When mentioning this, the little princess frowned and said, "I went to Yingchuan Prince's Mansion a few times, but the prince didn't see me at all. I never saw the prince's face. How can I cook rice with raw rice?"
Upon hearing this, Li Luo secretly patted his chest twice.Li Luo felt that besides himself being green on himself, it's better not to have other people green on me.
"Brother Prince! Please help me find a way." The little princess was not reconciled, and said, "Do I really want to marry the second prince?"
"Princess."
Before Li Luo could speak, someone beside him spoke up and walked over and said, "Princess, don't be self-willed. As the royal family of Da Li, the princess wants to relieve Da Li's worries and problems. The princess looks at the crown prince. Li's foundation, willingly came to Xie country as a hostage, isn't the situation much more difficult than that of the princess?"
Li Luo turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and sized him up calmly.
He is the princess' bodyguard. He looks like he is in his 30s. He looks very "low-key".
But as soon as the guard opened his mouth, Li Luo knew that his identity was definitely not simple. How could a guard talk to the princess like this?
Especially the little princess heard the guard's words, but she didn't retort stubbornly, she just lowered her head very aggrieved.
Li Luo's eyes flickered, he looked at the guard and said, "Uncle Wu."
The guard nodded, this is the promise, and Li Luo guessed it right, this man is not a guard at all, but the fifth uncle of Li Guo in disguise, eye-catching.
The little princess said: "By the way, last time I conveyed the words of the fifth uncle to the prince's brother. If the fifth uncle doesn't believe me, ask the prince's brother. It has nothing to do with me because the prince's brother didn't attend the appointment."
Li Luo didn't know where the old place they mentioned was, how could he go to the appointment?
Li Luo remained calm and said very calmly: "That day King Yingchuan became suspicious of me, so it was a bit inconvenient for me to go to the appointment, Wushu won't blame me?"
"The crown prince is too worried." Uncle Wuhuang looked easy to talk, and said, "You are alone in the capital of Xie country, and there are difficulties everywhere around you, and Xie Changying, king of Yingchuan, is a difficult person. He stared at you, you were right in not rushing to the appointment, how could Uncle Wu blame you?"
Li Luo said, "It's good that Fifth Uncle isn't angry."
Fifth Emperor Uncle said again: "I asked you to win over Xie Changying before because I thought Xie Changying was a useful person. If we could form an alliance with us, both parties would benefit. But now..."
Uncle Wu Huang pondered slightly, and said: "Xie Changying is too difficult to deal with, and it seems that he cannot be won over. The crown prince does not need to be attached to King Yingchuan alone, it is better... just give up."
When the little princess heard them talking about serious matters, she stood by and didn't interrupt.
Hearing Xie Changying mentioned by the other party, Li Luo thought about it for a while, trying to match the fifth uncle's words.
Li Luo said: "Uncle Wu, don't worry, although King Yingchuan is difficult to deal with, I still know what to do."
Uncle Wuhuang said: "Prince, don't make things difficult for yourself. This King Yingchuan can't win over. It's not a big loss to kill him to avoid future troubles."
"What?!" The little princess next to her exclaimed, and said, "Uncle Wu, are you going to kill King Yingchuan? Really?"
Li Luo was also shocked.
The little princess obviously had a crush on Xie Changying, and said, "You don't need to kill him, that's too..."
Uncle Wu Huang only seemed easy-going, but in fact he was cruel and merciless, and said: "I asked someone to deliver a letter to you before, and I have already mentioned that if you can't win Xie Changying over, you will find a chance to get rid of him. But you have been delaying It’s too late to make a move.”
Li Luo said: "I didn't find a chance. After all... King Yingchuan's martial arts is very strong, and there are many guards around him, so..."
"Oh?" Uncle Wu Huang took a look at Li Luo, and said suspiciously: "Is it true that I didn't find a chance?"
Li Luo was drumming in his heart, this Fifth Emperor Uncle is worthy of doing great things, he doesn't seem to be easy to fool, he must cheer up.
Uncle Wuhuang said: "Isn't it because you have become soft-hearted? You must not forget what your identity is, and you must not forget how your father and brothers and sisters died. You still have blood feuds, and the blood of your clansmen. Expectations have to be borne! Don't be swayed just because of some trivial matters of love! Are you really not finding a chance to attack Xie Changying, or are you emotionally attached to him?"
"What?" The little princess opened her eyes wide and said, "Brother Prince, you... have you fallen in love with King Yingchuan too? You are all... all men. But no wonder, you have always refused to help me Busy, you actually like Xie Changying too!"
Li Luo was startled for a while, but he couldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle Wuhuang was worrying too much, but he just pretended that Xie Changying was the one to take care of. If I don't move him, I'm afraid I won't be able to win him over. Moreover, I really didn't find a chance to do it, so it's not because I'm merciful."
"It's good that you're not emotional." Uncle Wu Huang didn't hold him tight, and said, "I thought of a way to get rid of Xie Changying in one fell swoop, without leaving any future trouble."
Li Luo immediately asked: "What method?"
This Uncle Wu Huang's palace is extremely deep, and it is definitely not a good thing for him to have his eye on Xie Changying. Li Luo couldn't wait to know how he would deal with Xie Changying.
Fifth Emperor Uncle said: "Xie Changying has been looking for a little eunuch named Li Luo recently, and I heard that Xie Changying treats him very differently. Is this Li Luo in your hands?"
Li Luo said: "It's really not here, does Fifth Uncle believe in other people's nonsense?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're here or not." Uncle Wu Huang smiled and said, "Anyway, Xie Changying decided that Li Luo was taken away by you, right?"
Li Luo nodded, it was true, Uncle Wu Huang was very well informed.
Uncle Wu Huang said: "He cares so much about Li Luo, and if he cares about it, he will be chaotic. Li Luo is his weakness. As long as he releases the news and uses Li Luo as a bait, he can easily trick Xie Changying into the trap. Although Xie Changying It’s powerful, but it’s hard to escape!”
Li Luo's heartbeat quickened a lot, and he said, "Uncle Wu's method is feasible, so why not leave this matter to me."
"No need." Uncle Wu Huang said, "The crown prince is not in good health recently, and the most important thing is to take good care of him. In fact, I have asked someone to handle this matter."
Not only did Li Luo's heart beat rapidly, he almost stopped breathing.It suddenly occurred to him that just now, he asked himself where the prince Xie Xiaoqi was. Xie Xiaoqi said that the prince had gone out of the city, but there was no
