Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple
Chapter 48 Overlord, Upward Bow
"Why is the second prince inside?"
"Second... the second prince was burned to death!"
"Second prince..."
Everyone piled up at the door, all of them were so scared that they couldn't believe it.
It's the same way, the one who is in the new house at this moment should be the bride, Princess Li.But for some reason, the second prince was lying on the bed in the wedding room, and he was already dead.
The burns on the second prince's body were actually not too serious. Compared with the scorched blackness in the yard, the second prince could still see his appearance.
Strictly speaking, he was not burned to death, but suffocated, inhaled too much smoke and poisonous gas generated by burning, and finally died.
Generally, there are very few cases of being burned alive in a big fire, and most of them are killed by suffocation or poisoning.So even though the burning situation inside the house was much better than outside, the second prince was still completely hopeless, and he was quite dead.
The queen mother opened her eyes wide and almost staggered and fell to the ground, being supported by the left and right palace servants.
"Queen Mother! Are you okay, Queen Mother?" The palace people panicked.
The Empress Dowager pointed tremblingly at the room and said, "This...what the hell is going on!"
Before the wedding banquet was over, the groom died.A few days ago, a Taifu Zhao died suddenly, and today the second prince died, and they all died in front of the Empress Dowager. It seems that the impact on the Empress Dowager was not small.
The queen mother said: "How could there be a fire! What's going on! Who will tell Aijia!"
The empress dowager got angry, and the servants of the second prince's mansion knelt down in a large area. The housekeeper knelt at the front and didn't dare to breathe. He almost rolled his eyes and passed out in fright.
Li Luo lowered his head and took a look. The butler looked very guilty, he definitely knew something.
Li Luo deliberately asked him: "Housekeeper, why is there no water in the water tanks in the mansion for the second prince's mansion to hold a wedding? What's going on? Even if the mansion caught fire, it shouldn't be so embarrassing."
The housekeeper was already guilty, but now he was called by Li Luo, and he couldn't kneel immediately. He fell to the ground and said, "Idiot... I don't know... I don't know!"
The Empress Dowager also found out, just now the Empress Dowager noticed something was wrong, but Li Luo didn't say anything and she didn't pay attention to it, and said immediately: "Prince Li is right, why is there no water in the water tank?! You are not here Your housekeeper? How do you manage things! Let such a big fire burn in the house!"
The Queen Mother became anxious, and said: "Arrest this housekeeper for the Ai family! Maybe he is the one who deliberately wanted to murder the second prince! Arrest it! Arrest it for the Ai family!"
Leaving aside whether the butler committed murder on purpose, it is indeed the butler's dereliction of duty to say that there is not a single drop of water in the many water tanks.
One must know that today's second prince's wedding banquet was attended by almost all civil and military officials from the whole dynasty, even the queen mother.There was a fire in the mansion for no reason, which was really appalling.If everyone hadn't discovered it early, if the fire had burned to the front, not only the second prince would have died, but all the courtiers' lives would be in danger, even the empress dowager's life would be in danger.
The empress dowager was in a hurry, and the guards had no reason to disobey orders, so they immediately stepped forward and detained the butler.
The housekeeper panicked and shouted: "The queen mother spares my life! The queen mother spares my life! The villain! The villain is wronged!"
"Are you wronged?" The queen mother scolded, "If it wasn't for your negligence! How could the second prince be burned alive! Aijia chopped off your head and it is not wronged at all! Your life alone is not enough! Can you pay for it?" Take the life of the second prince? When the emperor finds out about this matter, not only your head, but also the heads of your whole family will be indispensable!"
"The queen mother spares my life! The queen mother spares my life!"
The butler was dumbfounded, and was detained on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, his forehead bled instantly, but he didn't dare to stop, and shouted: "The queen mother is really wronged! You are wronged! The villain did not neglect his duty, yes... yes The second prince told the villain to let go of all the water in the tank!"
"What did you say?" the Queen Mother asked in surprise.
Not only the Queen Mother, everyone showed surprised expressions, even Li Luo.
The second prince had someone deliberately let go of the water in the tank, what does that mean?
These large water tanks are used to fight fires, and they need to store water all year round in case of emergencies.With such an important matter as a wedding banquet today, it is logically impossible to drain the water in it, instead, we need to check the water tank several times.Why did the second prince let go of the water in the tank?Li Luo was thoughtful, and his reaction was as if the Second Prince knew that there was going to be a fire, and he hoped that the fire would be as big as possible.
But right now, the second prince died in the sea of fire, his life was gone.
"The villain dare not lie!" The steward cried and said, "It was the second prince's order, and the villain dare not disobey. The second prince not only ordered... commanded the villain to drain all the water in the water tank , and also ordered the villain...the villain is...to set fire in the yard!"
"What is he saying?"
"Set fire? The second prince let someone set fire?"
"This man is talking nonsense!"
Everyone started discussing, no one believed what the butler said, they all thought that he was talking nonsense in order to clear himself of the charge of dereliction of duty?
Li Luo frowned, and said in a low voice: "He should not have lied."
Xie Changying looked at him sideways and said, "Are you sure?"
Li Luo observed the housekeeper's expression, he was very scared, flustered and regretful, but he didn't appear to be lying, he should be telling the truth.
In this way, the situation becomes even weirder.
The queen mother laughed back angrily, and said: "What do you mean? The second prince asked you to set fire, and then burned himself? What nonsense are you talking about! Does the second prince want to commit suicide?"
Even if you want to commit suicide, being burned to death by the fire is too painful, and it is better to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife.
And Li Luo felt that there was something very strange, the second prince was lying on the bed, and the fire outside was so big, he didn't even get up to leave the room.The second prince's body lay flat on the bed, as if he was asleep, and he didn't seem to be in any pain.
Li Luo didn't go forward to examine the corpse carefully, and felt that there were about two possibilities.First, the second prince actually died a long time ago, not in the fire, and of course he was not suffocated by inhaling poisonous gas.
The second possibility is that the second prince was in a coma, so when the fire broke out, he didn't notice when he was having difficulty breathing, and died in a coma.
Regardless of the possibility, Li Luo felt too weird.Why did the second prince ask the butler to set fire to him and burn him to death?
The housekeeper was anxious with snot and tears, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, there is no lie for a villain, it's all true! It's true! Second prince, the second prince insists that the villain set fire, set fire... ..."
In fact, he still has something to say, the second prince had a quarrel with Princess Li, and in a fit of anger he called the butler and asked the butler to set fire to the little princess.
The housekeeper had no choice, so he followed what the second prince said.It's just that he never thought that the one who set fire to death was not the little princess, but the second prince who instigated him.
Why the second prince appeared in the wedding room and was burned to death, the steward had no idea at all. If he knew that the second prince was in the room, he would never have set fire to it.
The housekeeper actually wanted to burn to death the little princess of Li Guo, who is today's bride.The butler didn't say this, he only said half of it.He was also thinking in his heart, now that the second prince is dead, if others know that it is the little princess who will be burned to death, then the matter will be even bigger.
Fortunately, the little princess of Li country was not injured, so the butler didn't dare to tell the rest of the matter, lest he be accused of murdering the princess again.
"Queen! Queen!"
A palace official trotted over, holding something in his hand.
While they were talking, people from Dali Temple had already rushed over, and Li Luo saw Cao Zhishui.
There was a murder case in the second prince's mansion, and this matter must be investigated by Dali Temple. Cao Zhishui was on duty today, and followed Li Wuzheng to rush over to see the situation.
Wu Zuo came in to check the second prince's body, but the investigation didn't go well, but he found something from the second prince's body.
A eunuch saw it nearby, and immediately ran over with the thing in a panic.
The eunuch knelt on the ground, handed the things to the Queen Mother, and said, "Mother... Queen Mother, take a look!"
The eunuch was very panicked and stuttered.Li Luo couldn't see what he was holding in his hand, but he saw the Queen Mother's expression, as if she had seen a ghost.
The queen mother exclaimed, took the thing, and said: "Suicide note?!"
The crowd was noisy again, and everyone heard the Queen Mother's words.What Wu Zuo found on the body of the second prince turned out to be a suicide note!
The second prince's clothes and skin were a little mottled, but the whole thing was not burnt black and was still intact.This suicide note was placed close to the second prince's arms, so it was well protected, but a corner of the envelope was burned, but it didn't affect anything.
"The second prince left a suicide note?"
"The butler didn't lie, it was the second prince who asked the butler to set the fire!"
"The second prince is going to commit suicide!"
"On the day of great joy, why did the Second Prince commit suicide because he couldn't think about it!"
Everyone was confused and well behaved. The second prince was still toasting with everyone just now, and he didn't look unhappy, nor did he look sullen and wanted to commit suicide.But when he turned around, the second prince actually asked the butler to set fire to him, and burned him to death, and prepared a suicide note in advance.
Things seem a little weird, but it's not over at all.
The Empress Dowager opened the suicide note in disbelief, and then took a look at it, and then she was shocked again, and said: "This...how is this suicide note...how..."
The queen mother couldn't finish her sentence, so she took a sideways look at the people around her while holding the suicide note.
Everyone didn't understand the Queen Mother's reaction at all. Standing beside her was the little princess of Li Guo. The little princess was glanced at by the Queen Mother, and immediately asked strangely: "Queen Mother? What happened?"
"This suicide note..." The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, and said, "Did you write it?"
The little princess was stunned for a moment, not caring about etiquette, took a look at the suicide note, and immediately said: "What is this?! My suicide note? I didn't write it! How could I write such a thing! It's so ridiculous It's too ridiculous!"
Everyone was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
The suicide note found from the second prince was not the second prince's suicide note, but...
The suicide note of the little princess of Li country.
No wonder the Queen Mother was stunned after glancing at the suicide note, and even asked the little princess of Li Guo beside her.
The little princess was also dumbfounded, and said: "I didn't intend to commit suicide, why did I commit suicide? It's ridiculous! What is written on it! King Yingchuan didn't force me either, the prince and I are innocent! "
Li Luo was just a little curious at first, after all he had no friendship with the second prince, but when he suddenly heard the little princess mention Xie Changying, he immediately took two steps forward and said to the little princess, "Show me."
Li Luo's current body is the elder brother of the little princess, so the little princess still trusts him, so she passed the suicide note to Li Luo.
Li Luo looked down, it was really the suicide note of Princess Li, not the second prince's suicide note at all.
There is nothing written on the envelope of the suicide note, so it can't be seen, but after opening the envelope, there is a signature inside, and the handwriting is beautiful, it can be seen that it was written by a woman.
It was written in the suicide note that the little princess said that she couldn't survive anymore. She was going to marry the second prince, but after arriving in Daxie, Xie Changying, the King of Yingchuan, teased her twice and three times. Seeing that King Yingchuan was honorable, he forced her to do shameless things.
The suicide note stated that Xie Changying took away the little princess's innocence and threatened her not to tell others.The little princess was in great pain because of this incident, and seeing that she was about to marry the second prince, the little princess felt so guilty that she felt sorry for the second prince, so in the end she really couldn't make it through, and finally chose to set fire to herself on the wedding day.
The little princess wrote down Xie Changying's atrocities in her suicide note, just to let others know about it, saying that even if she was a ghost, she would not let Xie Changying go.
Li Luo glanced at the suicide note, his face turned livid, and he was extremely angry.
This suicide note was questionable at first glance, it should not have been written by the little princess at all, the intention was naturally to frame Xie Changying.
The little princess said firmly: "Queen, I didn't intend to commit suicide, and King Yingchuan and I have nothing. This suicide note is full of nonsense! And my suicide note, how could it be with the second prince!"
Everyone didn't see the suicide note, but they couldn't help guessing after hearing the panicked words of the little princess.
The Empress Dowager's complexion also changed, she took the suicide note, and immediately folded it up and asked the eunuch to take it away, saying: "Let's leave today's matter to Dali Temple to deal with. How will the temple handle the case?"
Everyone was extremely curious, but they had no choice but to disperse first according to the Queen Mother's wishes, left the Second Prince's Mansion, and went back to their respective residences.
Li Luo came out of the Second Prince's Mansion, and took a carriage to go back to his own Prince's Mansion.
According to the original plan, Li Luo and Xie Changying were going to leave separately, so Li Luo got into the carriage alone.But soon, the carriage walked for a while, and after leaving the Second Prince's Mansion, it suddenly stopped for a while, and then the curtain of the carriage was raised, and someone got into the carriage.
It was Xie Changying.
Xie Changying "surreptitiously" got into the carriage and sat beside Li Luo.
Li Luo's face was full of bitterness and hatred, and he didn't seem to notice that there was a living person beside him, and he didn't even look at Xie Changying.
Xie Changying immediately raised her hand, supported Li Luo's chin, turned his face away, then lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.
Li Luo waved his hand to repel the flies, pushed Xie Changying's handsome face away, and said, "Don't make trouble, I was thinking about something."
Xie Changying was dissatisfied. Did Li Luo get tired of looking at her own face recently? It seemed that she was becoming less and less attractive. It wasn't like this before...
As Xie Changying thought about it, she suddenly realized that her thoughts were resentful, as if...
Xie Changying coughed quickly, hiding her sour heart, and said, "What are you thinking, so focused."
"Of course it's about the second prince's mansion, and the little princess' suicide note." Li Luo was very angry when he said that, "Can't you see it? Someone is going to target you!"
Many people only had a half-knowledge of the suicide note and didn't read everything written on it, but Li Luo read it all, and Xie Changying was standing beside him just now, relying on his height advantage, he also read every single word.
Xie Changying was not as angry as Li Luo, and said, "It should be."
Li Luo said: "Someone forged the little princess's suicide note. The purpose is obvious. They want to murder the little princess. Then you will be the culprit who 'killed' the little princess! At that time, the emperor will definitely be furious. Both public and private, the emperor will definitely bring you to justice! This trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is extremely powerful!"
Li Luo was filled with righteous indignation, but fortunately things had changed now, the little princess was fine, she was not burned to death at all, but the second prince was burned to death.
Li Luo frowned and said, "Things are a bit strange. Why is the little princess' suicide note on the second prince? The suicide note says that the little princess chose to be buried in the sea of flames, but she will be clean after death. But the housekeeper said that the second prince told him to set fire to the mansion All the water tanks in the house were cleaned up, because we didn’t want people to put out the fire.”
No matter what Li Luo thought, he felt that the second prince wanted to kill the little princess, and then put the blame on Xie Changying, so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of Xie Changying.
but……
Li Luo added: "The Second Prince died in the flames, so..."
Something must have happened in the middle, or some accident.However, there are too few clues now, and Li Luo can't imagine what important link is missing in the middle.
"Cough cough—cough..."
It is estimated that Li Luo was too angry and excited, so he couldn't stop coughing.
As soon as he coughed, Xie Changying became very worried, sat down a little closer, closed Li Luo's cloak behind him, hugged him in her arms, gently patted him on the back, and said, "Don't worry, take care of yourself. "
Li Luo complained, "Can I not worry? Someone wronged you, and you almost became a murderer who forced the little princess to death."
"Fortunately, it's okay." Xie Changying smiled, and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, Dali Temple is investigating this case. You can't think of anything now. You can ask Li Wuzheng what clues they found tomorrow."
Li Luo nodded and said, "That's true."
Xie Changying patted him on the back and asked, "Is it better?"
Li Luo nodded again and said, "I'm fine."
"Go back and take a hot bath, rest early, don't think about it, understand?" Xie Changying asked.
Li Luo said, "I know, I'm not that delicate."
Xie Changying raised her eyebrows, and whispered in Li Luo's ear: "If I'm not so delicate, I'd be so happy. Anyone would faint from a kiss? Let alone talk about other things. "
Li Luo blushed a little, pushed Xie Changying several times, and said, "It's so late, you should go back quickly, don't be seen again."
"I won't go back." Xie Changying said, "I'm staying with you today. If you're not feeling well, I'll take care of you."
"No!" Li Luo immediately vetoed, saying: "The little prince has found us, why don't you go back?"
Li Luo was almost bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, for fear that the little prince would come out again to catch the rape.
Xie Changying said, "It's so late, how can he still come to your mansion to make trouble?"
Li Luo thought about it, this is...
Anyway, Li Luo couldn't bear to part with Xie Changying, so he reluctantly agreed to take Xie Changying back with him.
The weather was a bit cold at night, Xie Changying had already figured it out, and when he got back, he asked Li Luo to get some hot water, just in time for a hot bath to warm him up.The most important thing is, maybe you can have a mandarin duck bath.
Although it is true that Xie Changying is still not quite used to Li Luo's new face, Xie Changying finally "recovered" and naturally wanted to do some intimate things with Li Luo, and the mandarin duck bath was a good start.
Hearing Xie Changying's words, Li Luo blushed a little.
Xie Changying smiled and said, "Don't want to take a bath together?"
Li Luo's eyes were agile, flickering back and forth. He sized Xie Changying's perfect figure several times, and finally couldn't resist. He said with a straight face, "Take a shower, what's the matter with taking a shower together, what a joke! Just wait, I'll call for hot water!"
Li Luo put down his harsh words, and immediately went to ask the boy to get hot water.He thought to himself, he can't be cowardly, all the beauties have come to his door on their own initiative, this is a very good opportunity.that is……
Li Luo was a little worried about his small body, wouldn't he just pass out?It's too embarrassing to think about it.
"Prince, His Royal Highness."
Soon, before Li Luo was ready mentally, there was a servant calling outside the door.
Li Luo was startled, and said, "The hot water is ready so soon?"
The young man said outside the door: "The hot water has not been boiled yet, the Crown Prince of Xie Kingdom has come down, saying that he has urgent business with you."
"The little prince is here?" Li Luo immediately felt guilty when he heard Xie Tang's name, and couldn't help but whisper to Xie Changying: "It's so late, what is the little prince doing here?"
Xie Changying frowned, he didn't know why Xie Tang came looking for him suddenly, and it was midnight, so late, what's the rush?
Besides, the hot water will be ready soon, can other urgent matters be more anxious than the mandarin duck bath?
Xie Changying said: "It's too late, tell Xie Tang to go back first, let's talk about something tomorrow."
"No, no, I'd better go see him." Li Luo shook his head and said, "Maybe the little prince is really in a hurry."
Xie Changying was dissatisfied, and stared at Li Luo with resentful eyes.
Li Luo and Xie Tang had a good relationship before, which made Xie Changying very jealous. Now Li Luo is going to see Xie Tang in the middle of the night, and Xie Changying is not easy to come forward, so they can only let them get along alone. Li Luo still cares about Xie Tang. , Xie Changying was even more jealous.
Li Luo patted Xie Changying's chest and said, "Beauty, take off your clothes first, obediently take a bath and wait for me, I will come back soon to pamper you!"
Xie Changying was molested by Li Luo, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Then you have to hurry up, don't make me wait."
Li Luo suspected that Xie Changying was seducing him now, so he swallowed his saliva recklessly, and said, "I'll be back soon!"
Li Luo left the room, and soon a servant came in with hot water.
Xie Changying was "not easy to meet people", when the servant came in, he hid himself, and only showed up when the servant left.
Xie Changying looked at the hot water and twitched the corners of his lips, waited for a while and really took off his clothes, then sat in the tub, waited for Li Luo to come back and saw him taking a bath, and then...
Thinking of this, Xie Changying couldn't help laughing. As soon as Li Luo opened the door, his eyes must have stared. After all, the prince is still very confident in his appearance.
Xie Changying spread her arms out, leaning against the edge of the tub with a confident expression, waiting for Li Luo to throw herself into her arms impatiently.
but……
Xie Changying soaked for a while, but Li Luo didn't come back.
Xie Changying soaked for a while, but Li Luo didn't come back.
Xie Changying raised his hand and looked at his fingertips, they were wrinkled from the hot water, but Li Luo still didn't come back.
Xie Changying felt that the hot water had already turned cold, and if he continued to soak like this, he might catch a cold.However, Li Luo still didn't come back!
Xie Changying couldn't take it anymore, Li Luo and Xie Tang had so much to say, and it was still in the middle of the night.The more he thought about it, the more jealous he became, so he stopped taking a bath, stood up, got dressed, and slipped out of the room quietly.
Li Luo met Xie Tang in the tea room, and Xie Changying knew about it, so Xie Changying went to the tea room with ease, and then jumped over the window to enter, and sure enough, she saw Li Luo and Xie Tang sitting face to face.
Li Luo and Xie Tang sat facing each other, with a table between them, the distance was quite safe, which gave Xie Changying some comfort.
The room was very quiet, Li Luo did not speak, neither did Xie Tang.On closer inspection, the two seemed to be drinking tea.
Li Luo took a sip of tea, looked down at the teapot and teacups, and then at the little prince Xie Tang, as if he hesitated to speak, wanted to say something, but didn't speak.
Xie Tang didn't even look at him, he was very calm, with the appearance of a worldly expert.
Xie Tang said quietly: "What's the matter, Prince Li? Do you think the tea brought by Gu is not good?"
"No." Li Luo said with a smile: "The tea is very good. It's just..."
They've been sitting here drinking tea for almost an hour, and just tasting tea...
Xie Tang said he was looking for Li Luo for something urgent, but after Li Luo came, Xie Tang just drank tea with him and didn't say a few words.
Xie Tang said: "Prince Li thinks the tea is good, so drink a few more cups. Gu's tea is indeed top-notch, and other people can't drink it."
Li Luo couldn't bear it anymore, he was still in a hurry to go back to the bath, and said, "Isn't the prince doing anything else? Didn't you say you have something urgent to call on me?"
Xie Tang laughed, he ran over to find Li Luo anxiously, it was indeed something urgent, but he didn't intend to tell Li Luo.
Before going to the second prince's mansion to attend the wedding banquet, Xie Tang found out the adulterous relationship between Xie Changying and "Prince Li". Xie Tang was very angry, and was very dissatisfied with "Prince Li" seducing Xie Changying, and also dissatisfied that Xie Changying changed his mind so quickly. Li Luo.
As Li Luo's friend, Xie Tang got angry the more he thought about it.And there was something that made him even more angry, that is, "Prince Li" had not seduced Xie Changying enough, but also seduced his master!
Xie Tang felt that this matter should not be left alone, so after the wedding banquet was over, Xie Tang asked someone to inquire, and the guards quickly reported back that Yingchuan King Xie Changying and "Prince Li" did not leave together, they left separately.
Xie Changying seemed to have gone back to the mansion, but Xie Tang was also very smart, so he kept a cautious eye and went directly to Xie Changying's Yingchuan Palace. As expected, Xie Changying was not at the mansion, and the servants said that the prince would not come back today.
Xie Tang almost exploded when he heard that, if Xie Changying didn't come back to live, where could he go?He must have been hooked away by that vixen "Prince Li"!It must be living in the residence of "Prince Li"!
Xie Changying lived with the vixen, what else could he do at night?Xie Tang made up his mind a little, and his chest almost exploded with anger. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that they were sorry for Li Luo!
So Xie Tang came, saying that he was looking for "Prince Li" urgently, but in fact there was nothing at all, he just came to delay the time, so that Xie Changying and "Prince Li" could not get along with each other.
Li Luo had a headache, he is also a smart person, at first he didn't understand what Xie Tang meant, but after almost an hour, how could he still not understand?
But Li Luo couldn't explain clearly at the moment, Xie Changying didn't believe it before, would Xie Tang believe it?
Li Luo hesitated for a moment, then broke the boat and said: "Prince, let me tell you the truth, in fact Li Luo..."
Li Luo is me, I am Li Luo.
Before he had time to say these words, Xie Tang suddenly slammed the teacup on the table with a "thud", and scolded: "You deserve to mention his name?"
Li Luo: "..."
Xie Tang is a temperamental person, he has endured "Prince Li" for a long time, the next one couldn't hold back, stood up directly, stared at Li Luo and said: "You think you have confused my uncle, but you can still fool me Is it? I’m telling you! Li Luo is my friend! You are far from him, and you don’t deserve to mention his name at all!”
The more Xie Tang talked, the more angry he became, and he said: "Gu also told you that you want to be with Gu's emperor uncle, this is impossible! Gu doesn't allow it!"
Li Luo looked up at the little prince Xie Tang, feeling that the current situation is very bloody, very similar to the plot of an ancient drama.Xie Tang was like an evil mother-in-law who wanted to separate the male lead and the female lead, as if she would take out a check for a sky-high price in the next moment, throw it in the face of the female lead, and say: Make an offer, take the money and leave me son!
It's a pity that the bloody plot didn't continue, and an unexpected guest left.
The servant hurried in and said, "Prince, Mrs. Han is here."
Xie Tang was startled for a moment, and said, "Master?" It's not just Xie Changying who is here at "Prince Li" in the middle of the night, why is Master also here?Could it be...
Before Xie Tang could think about it, Han Jingting had already walked in, and then directly took Xie Tang's hand and said, "Running around in the middle of the night, Master has been looking for you for a long time, go back to your residence."
Xie Tang looked at Han Jingting strangely, and said, "Master, did you come here to look for me?"
Han Jingting said helplessly: "Otherwise, what are you looking for? It's not peaceful in the capital now, it's already so late, you're not resting in the mansion, and you're still out of the house, why can't I come to you as a teacher? Can I not worry about you? "
Xie Tang's heart felt warm, and he breathed a sigh of relief.It turned out that Master did not come to look for "Prince Li", but came to look for himself.
Xie Tang was taken away by Han Jingting's words, and soon left Prince Li's mansion.
As soon as those two people left, someone turned around from behind Li Luo, it wasn't Yingchuan King Xie Changying.
Xie Changying's hair was still a little wet, but there was a chill on her body, as if she had run ten laps outside in the middle of the night.
Li Luo didn't seem surprised by Xie Changying's appearance, but patted his chest and said, "My lord, you are so smart! Fortunately, I have you! If you hadn't brought Mrs. Han here, I might not have a good day today! The little prince's attitude , want to devour me alive and tear me apart!"
Han Jingting actually didn't know that Xie Tang didn't return home in the middle of the night, it was Xie Changying who went to find him.
Xie Changying ran to the tea room to take a peek, and saw that Xie Tang had a tendency to stay here overnight, so he immediately went to Han Jingting to rescue him, taking Xie Tang away.
Xie Changying came over displeased, lowered her head and kissed Li Luo's lips fiercely, and said, "What are you eating alive? I want to eat you right now."
"My lord, your body is so cold, even your lips are cold." Li Luo said with a smile.
The mandarin duck bath that had been agreed was gone, because Xie Tang made a fuss, the hot water had already been cold, and it was too late now.Li Luo's health was not good in the first place, Xie Changying gave him different kinds of supplements every day, for fear that he would not eat well or get enough sleep.
Although Xie Changying really wanted to eat Li Luo now, but it was too late, so she said, "Come on, come back with me to rest, or you will be sick again tomorrow."
Li Luo was very obedient, and was led by Xie Changying back to the room, and said: "My lord, don't worry, we'll take a bath tomorrow."
……
The story of the second prince is widely known in the city. For a while, some people said that the second prince committed suicide, some said that the second prince was murdered, and some said that the second prince was killed by a ghost. Anyway, there are all kinds of arguments .
The emperor heard about this incident that night, and it was inevitable that he would be furious.At dawn the next day, as soon as the palace gate opened, Li Wuzheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, immediately entered the palace.
The emperor angered Li Wuzheng because of his anger, and cursed his head and face, making Li Wuzheng have to solve the case within ten days, and if he couldn't solve the case, he must be held accountable.
Li Wuzheng was originally a hands-off shopkeeper of Dali Temple. He didn't handle cases at all before, but now he is suffering and has no clue at all.
The case of the second prince is really too weird, Li Wuzheng has no idea at all, he thinks that the second prince is more likely to commit suicide, after all, it was the second prince who asked the housekeeper to set fire, but if he committed suicide, no fool would believe it.
Li Wuzheng came out of the palace with a sigh, stopped riding a horse, and walked towards Dali Temple with a dejected expression.He thought in his heart, it would be great if Li Luo was still there, there seemed to be nothing strange that Li Luo couldn't figure out, if Li Luo was still there, he would definitely be able to solve the case in a short time and save himself from the fire.
"Li Luo... oh-"
Thinking of Li Luolai, Li Wuzheng sighed fiercely, and his whole body became even more decadent.
Li Wuzheng didn't like Li Luo before, he felt that Li Luo was a spy, his identity was a mystery, and he might have ulterior motives, but after getting in touch with him a lot, he felt that Li Luo was a good person, and he was narrow-minded.
But right now, Li Luo is missing, no one is alive, no one is dead, no corpse can be found.
The most important problem is that after looking for Li Luo for a few days, the prince seems to feel that there is no hope, and he doesn't mention looking for someone these two days.
"Ugh--"
"Ugh--"
Li Wuzheng sighed again, but this sigh seemed to have an echo, and someone beside him also sighed hard.
Li Wuzheng looked back and said in surprise, "Little prince? Why are you here? You're still alone."
The person who sighed was the young prince Xie Tang, Xie Tang was alone, without Han Jingting or guards, he looked unhappy and sneaky.
The little prince made a gesture of silence to Li Wuzheng, and said: "Be quiet, I'm catching a traitor."
Li Wuzheng looked up, not far ahead was Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, the little prince came here to catch a traitor?
Li Wuzheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Your master and the prince have a leg?"
Xie Tang immediately glared at Li Wuzheng, and said, "Bah! Why do you slander my master!"
Li Wuzheng was puzzled, and said, "Then why are you here to catch a traitor?"
Xie Tang said bitterly: "Don't you know? Uncle Huang has moved on! He kissed me with that Prince Li."
"How is it possible?" Li Wuzheng didn't believe it, and said: "The prince likes Li Luo, he likes it very much, he hates Prince Li before it's too late, how could he like...like..."
Before Li Wuzheng finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, he was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Not far away is the back door of Yingchuan Palace, Li Wuzheng thought of going to the palace to find Xie Changying after leaving the palace, maybe Xie Changying could help him?
Therefore, Li Wuzheng was in the vicinity of the palace.
"Second... the second prince was burned to death!"
"Second prince..."
Everyone piled up at the door, all of them were so scared that they couldn't believe it.
It's the same way, the one who is in the new house at this moment should be the bride, Princess Li.But for some reason, the second prince was lying on the bed in the wedding room, and he was already dead.
The burns on the second prince's body were actually not too serious. Compared with the scorched blackness in the yard, the second prince could still see his appearance.
Strictly speaking, he was not burned to death, but suffocated, inhaled too much smoke and poisonous gas generated by burning, and finally died.
Generally, there are very few cases of being burned alive in a big fire, and most of them are killed by suffocation or poisoning.So even though the burning situation inside the house was much better than outside, the second prince was still completely hopeless, and he was quite dead.
The queen mother opened her eyes wide and almost staggered and fell to the ground, being supported by the left and right palace servants.
"Queen Mother! Are you okay, Queen Mother?" The palace people panicked.
The Empress Dowager pointed tremblingly at the room and said, "This...what the hell is going on!"
Before the wedding banquet was over, the groom died.A few days ago, a Taifu Zhao died suddenly, and today the second prince died, and they all died in front of the Empress Dowager. It seems that the impact on the Empress Dowager was not small.
The queen mother said: "How could there be a fire! What's going on! Who will tell Aijia!"
The empress dowager got angry, and the servants of the second prince's mansion knelt down in a large area. The housekeeper knelt at the front and didn't dare to breathe. He almost rolled his eyes and passed out in fright.
Li Luo lowered his head and took a look. The butler looked very guilty, he definitely knew something.
Li Luo deliberately asked him: "Housekeeper, why is there no water in the water tanks in the mansion for the second prince's mansion to hold a wedding? What's going on? Even if the mansion caught fire, it shouldn't be so embarrassing."
The housekeeper was already guilty, but now he was called by Li Luo, and he couldn't kneel immediately. He fell to the ground and said, "Idiot... I don't know... I don't know!"
The Empress Dowager also found out, just now the Empress Dowager noticed something was wrong, but Li Luo didn't say anything and she didn't pay attention to it, and said immediately: "Prince Li is right, why is there no water in the water tank?! You are not here Your housekeeper? How do you manage things! Let such a big fire burn in the house!"
The Queen Mother became anxious, and said: "Arrest this housekeeper for the Ai family! Maybe he is the one who deliberately wanted to murder the second prince! Arrest it! Arrest it for the Ai family!"
Leaving aside whether the butler committed murder on purpose, it is indeed the butler's dereliction of duty to say that there is not a single drop of water in the many water tanks.
One must know that today's second prince's wedding banquet was attended by almost all civil and military officials from the whole dynasty, even the queen mother.There was a fire in the mansion for no reason, which was really appalling.If everyone hadn't discovered it early, if the fire had burned to the front, not only the second prince would have died, but all the courtiers' lives would be in danger, even the empress dowager's life would be in danger.
The empress dowager was in a hurry, and the guards had no reason to disobey orders, so they immediately stepped forward and detained the butler.
The housekeeper panicked and shouted: "The queen mother spares my life! The queen mother spares my life! The villain! The villain is wronged!"
"Are you wronged?" The queen mother scolded, "If it wasn't for your negligence! How could the second prince be burned alive! Aijia chopped off your head and it is not wronged at all! Your life alone is not enough! Can you pay for it?" Take the life of the second prince? When the emperor finds out about this matter, not only your head, but also the heads of your whole family will be indispensable!"
"The queen mother spares my life! The queen mother spares my life!"
The butler was dumbfounded, and was detained on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, his forehead bled instantly, but he didn't dare to stop, and shouted: "The queen mother is really wronged! You are wronged! The villain did not neglect his duty, yes... yes The second prince told the villain to let go of all the water in the tank!"
"What did you say?" the Queen Mother asked in surprise.
Not only the Queen Mother, everyone showed surprised expressions, even Li Luo.
The second prince had someone deliberately let go of the water in the tank, what does that mean?
These large water tanks are used to fight fires, and they need to store water all year round in case of emergencies.With such an important matter as a wedding banquet today, it is logically impossible to drain the water in it, instead, we need to check the water tank several times.Why did the second prince let go of the water in the tank?Li Luo was thoughtful, and his reaction was as if the Second Prince knew that there was going to be a fire, and he hoped that the fire would be as big as possible.
But right now, the second prince died in the sea of fire, his life was gone.
"The villain dare not lie!" The steward cried and said, "It was the second prince's order, and the villain dare not disobey. The second prince not only ordered... commanded the villain to drain all the water in the water tank , and also ordered the villain...the villain is...to set fire in the yard!"
"What is he saying?"
"Set fire? The second prince let someone set fire?"
"This man is talking nonsense!"
Everyone started discussing, no one believed what the butler said, they all thought that he was talking nonsense in order to clear himself of the charge of dereliction of duty?
Li Luo frowned, and said in a low voice: "He should not have lied."
Xie Changying looked at him sideways and said, "Are you sure?"
Li Luo observed the housekeeper's expression, he was very scared, flustered and regretful, but he didn't appear to be lying, he should be telling the truth.
In this way, the situation becomes even weirder.
The queen mother laughed back angrily, and said: "What do you mean? The second prince asked you to set fire, and then burned himself? What nonsense are you talking about! Does the second prince want to commit suicide?"
Even if you want to commit suicide, being burned to death by the fire is too painful, and it is better to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife.
And Li Luo felt that there was something very strange, the second prince was lying on the bed, and the fire outside was so big, he didn't even get up to leave the room.The second prince's body lay flat on the bed, as if he was asleep, and he didn't seem to be in any pain.
Li Luo didn't go forward to examine the corpse carefully, and felt that there were about two possibilities.First, the second prince actually died a long time ago, not in the fire, and of course he was not suffocated by inhaling poisonous gas.
The second possibility is that the second prince was in a coma, so when the fire broke out, he didn't notice when he was having difficulty breathing, and died in a coma.
Regardless of the possibility, Li Luo felt too weird.Why did the second prince ask the butler to set fire to him and burn him to death?
The housekeeper was anxious with snot and tears, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, there is no lie for a villain, it's all true! It's true! Second prince, the second prince insists that the villain set fire, set fire... ..."
In fact, he still has something to say, the second prince had a quarrel with Princess Li, and in a fit of anger he called the butler and asked the butler to set fire to the little princess.
The housekeeper had no choice, so he followed what the second prince said.It's just that he never thought that the one who set fire to death was not the little princess, but the second prince who instigated him.
Why the second prince appeared in the wedding room and was burned to death, the steward had no idea at all. If he knew that the second prince was in the room, he would never have set fire to it.
The housekeeper actually wanted to burn to death the little princess of Li Guo, who is today's bride.The butler didn't say this, he only said half of it.He was also thinking in his heart, now that the second prince is dead, if others know that it is the little princess who will be burned to death, then the matter will be even bigger.
Fortunately, the little princess of Li country was not injured, so the butler didn't dare to tell the rest of the matter, lest he be accused of murdering the princess again.
"Queen! Queen!"
A palace official trotted over, holding something in his hand.
While they were talking, people from Dali Temple had already rushed over, and Li Luo saw Cao Zhishui.
There was a murder case in the second prince's mansion, and this matter must be investigated by Dali Temple. Cao Zhishui was on duty today, and followed Li Wuzheng to rush over to see the situation.
Wu Zuo came in to check the second prince's body, but the investigation didn't go well, but he found something from the second prince's body.
A eunuch saw it nearby, and immediately ran over with the thing in a panic.
The eunuch knelt on the ground, handed the things to the Queen Mother, and said, "Mother... Queen Mother, take a look!"
The eunuch was very panicked and stuttered.Li Luo couldn't see what he was holding in his hand, but he saw the Queen Mother's expression, as if she had seen a ghost.
The queen mother exclaimed, took the thing, and said: "Suicide note?!"
The crowd was noisy again, and everyone heard the Queen Mother's words.What Wu Zuo found on the body of the second prince turned out to be a suicide note!
The second prince's clothes and skin were a little mottled, but the whole thing was not burnt black and was still intact.This suicide note was placed close to the second prince's arms, so it was well protected, but a corner of the envelope was burned, but it didn't affect anything.
"The second prince left a suicide note?"
"The butler didn't lie, it was the second prince who asked the butler to set the fire!"
"The second prince is going to commit suicide!"
"On the day of great joy, why did the Second Prince commit suicide because he couldn't think about it!"
Everyone was confused and well behaved. The second prince was still toasting with everyone just now, and he didn't look unhappy, nor did he look sullen and wanted to commit suicide.But when he turned around, the second prince actually asked the butler to set fire to him, and burned him to death, and prepared a suicide note in advance.
Things seem a little weird, but it's not over at all.
The Empress Dowager opened the suicide note in disbelief, and then took a look at it, and then she was shocked again, and said: "This...how is this suicide note...how..."
The queen mother couldn't finish her sentence, so she took a sideways look at the people around her while holding the suicide note.
Everyone didn't understand the Queen Mother's reaction at all. Standing beside her was the little princess of Li Guo. The little princess was glanced at by the Queen Mother, and immediately asked strangely: "Queen Mother? What happened?"
"This suicide note..." The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, and said, "Did you write it?"
The little princess was stunned for a moment, not caring about etiquette, took a look at the suicide note, and immediately said: "What is this?! My suicide note? I didn't write it! How could I write such a thing! It's so ridiculous It's too ridiculous!"
Everyone was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
The suicide note found from the second prince was not the second prince's suicide note, but...
The suicide note of the little princess of Li country.
No wonder the Queen Mother was stunned after glancing at the suicide note, and even asked the little princess of Li Guo beside her.
The little princess was also dumbfounded, and said: "I didn't intend to commit suicide, why did I commit suicide? It's ridiculous! What is written on it! King Yingchuan didn't force me either, the prince and I are innocent! "
Li Luo was just a little curious at first, after all he had no friendship with the second prince, but when he suddenly heard the little princess mention Xie Changying, he immediately took two steps forward and said to the little princess, "Show me."
Li Luo's current body is the elder brother of the little princess, so the little princess still trusts him, so she passed the suicide note to Li Luo.
Li Luo looked down, it was really the suicide note of Princess Li, not the second prince's suicide note at all.
There is nothing written on the envelope of the suicide note, so it can't be seen, but after opening the envelope, there is a signature inside, and the handwriting is beautiful, it can be seen that it was written by a woman.
It was written in the suicide note that the little princess said that she couldn't survive anymore. She was going to marry the second prince, but after arriving in Daxie, Xie Changying, the King of Yingchuan, teased her twice and three times. Seeing that King Yingchuan was honorable, he forced her to do shameless things.
The suicide note stated that Xie Changying took away the little princess's innocence and threatened her not to tell others.The little princess was in great pain because of this incident, and seeing that she was about to marry the second prince, the little princess felt so guilty that she felt sorry for the second prince, so in the end she really couldn't make it through, and finally chose to set fire to herself on the wedding day.
The little princess wrote down Xie Changying's atrocities in her suicide note, just to let others know about it, saying that even if she was a ghost, she would not let Xie Changying go.
Li Luo glanced at the suicide note, his face turned livid, and he was extremely angry.
This suicide note was questionable at first glance, it should not have been written by the little princess at all, the intention was naturally to frame Xie Changying.
The little princess said firmly: "Queen, I didn't intend to commit suicide, and King Yingchuan and I have nothing. This suicide note is full of nonsense! And my suicide note, how could it be with the second prince!"
Everyone didn't see the suicide note, but they couldn't help guessing after hearing the panicked words of the little princess.
The Empress Dowager's complexion also changed, she took the suicide note, and immediately folded it up and asked the eunuch to take it away, saying: "Let's leave today's matter to Dali Temple to deal with. How will the temple handle the case?"
Everyone was extremely curious, but they had no choice but to disperse first according to the Queen Mother's wishes, left the Second Prince's Mansion, and went back to their respective residences.
Li Luo came out of the Second Prince's Mansion, and took a carriage to go back to his own Prince's Mansion.
According to the original plan, Li Luo and Xie Changying were going to leave separately, so Li Luo got into the carriage alone.But soon, the carriage walked for a while, and after leaving the Second Prince's Mansion, it suddenly stopped for a while, and then the curtain of the carriage was raised, and someone got into the carriage.
It was Xie Changying.
Xie Changying "surreptitiously" got into the carriage and sat beside Li Luo.
Li Luo's face was full of bitterness and hatred, and he didn't seem to notice that there was a living person beside him, and he didn't even look at Xie Changying.
Xie Changying immediately raised her hand, supported Li Luo's chin, turned his face away, then lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.
Li Luo waved his hand to repel the flies, pushed Xie Changying's handsome face away, and said, "Don't make trouble, I was thinking about something."
Xie Changying was dissatisfied. Did Li Luo get tired of looking at her own face recently? It seemed that she was becoming less and less attractive. It wasn't like this before...
As Xie Changying thought about it, she suddenly realized that her thoughts were resentful, as if...
Xie Changying coughed quickly, hiding her sour heart, and said, "What are you thinking, so focused."
"Of course it's about the second prince's mansion, and the little princess' suicide note." Li Luo was very angry when he said that, "Can't you see it? Someone is going to target you!"
Many people only had a half-knowledge of the suicide note and didn't read everything written on it, but Li Luo read it all, and Xie Changying was standing beside him just now, relying on his height advantage, he also read every single word.
Xie Changying was not as angry as Li Luo, and said, "It should be."
Li Luo said: "Someone forged the little princess's suicide note. The purpose is obvious. They want to murder the little princess. Then you will be the culprit who 'killed' the little princess! At that time, the emperor will definitely be furious. Both public and private, the emperor will definitely bring you to justice! This trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is extremely powerful!"
Li Luo was filled with righteous indignation, but fortunately things had changed now, the little princess was fine, she was not burned to death at all, but the second prince was burned to death.
Li Luo frowned and said, "Things are a bit strange. Why is the little princess' suicide note on the second prince? The suicide note says that the little princess chose to be buried in the sea of flames, but she will be clean after death. But the housekeeper said that the second prince told him to set fire to the mansion All the water tanks in the house were cleaned up, because we didn’t want people to put out the fire.”
No matter what Li Luo thought, he felt that the second prince wanted to kill the little princess, and then put the blame on Xie Changying, so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of Xie Changying.
but……
Li Luo added: "The Second Prince died in the flames, so..."
Something must have happened in the middle, or some accident.However, there are too few clues now, and Li Luo can't imagine what important link is missing in the middle.
"Cough cough—cough..."
It is estimated that Li Luo was too angry and excited, so he couldn't stop coughing.
As soon as he coughed, Xie Changying became very worried, sat down a little closer, closed Li Luo's cloak behind him, hugged him in her arms, gently patted him on the back, and said, "Don't worry, take care of yourself. "
Li Luo complained, "Can I not worry? Someone wronged you, and you almost became a murderer who forced the little princess to death."
"Fortunately, it's okay." Xie Changying smiled, and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, Dali Temple is investigating this case. You can't think of anything now. You can ask Li Wuzheng what clues they found tomorrow."
Li Luo nodded and said, "That's true."
Xie Changying patted him on the back and asked, "Is it better?"
Li Luo nodded again and said, "I'm fine."
"Go back and take a hot bath, rest early, don't think about it, understand?" Xie Changying asked.
Li Luo said, "I know, I'm not that delicate."
Xie Changying raised her eyebrows, and whispered in Li Luo's ear: "If I'm not so delicate, I'd be so happy. Anyone would faint from a kiss? Let alone talk about other things. "
Li Luo blushed a little, pushed Xie Changying several times, and said, "It's so late, you should go back quickly, don't be seen again."
"I won't go back." Xie Changying said, "I'm staying with you today. If you're not feeling well, I'll take care of you."
"No!" Li Luo immediately vetoed, saying: "The little prince has found us, why don't you go back?"
Li Luo was almost bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, for fear that the little prince would come out again to catch the rape.
Xie Changying said, "It's so late, how can he still come to your mansion to make trouble?"
Li Luo thought about it, this is...
Anyway, Li Luo couldn't bear to part with Xie Changying, so he reluctantly agreed to take Xie Changying back with him.
The weather was a bit cold at night, Xie Changying had already figured it out, and when he got back, he asked Li Luo to get some hot water, just in time for a hot bath to warm him up.The most important thing is, maybe you can have a mandarin duck bath.
Although it is true that Xie Changying is still not quite used to Li Luo's new face, Xie Changying finally "recovered" and naturally wanted to do some intimate things with Li Luo, and the mandarin duck bath was a good start.
Hearing Xie Changying's words, Li Luo blushed a little.
Xie Changying smiled and said, "Don't want to take a bath together?"
Li Luo's eyes were agile, flickering back and forth. He sized Xie Changying's perfect figure several times, and finally couldn't resist. He said with a straight face, "Take a shower, what's the matter with taking a shower together, what a joke! Just wait, I'll call for hot water!"
Li Luo put down his harsh words, and immediately went to ask the boy to get hot water.He thought to himself, he can't be cowardly, all the beauties have come to his door on their own initiative, this is a very good opportunity.that is……
Li Luo was a little worried about his small body, wouldn't he just pass out?It's too embarrassing to think about it.
"Prince, His Royal Highness."
Soon, before Li Luo was ready mentally, there was a servant calling outside the door.
Li Luo was startled, and said, "The hot water is ready so soon?"
The young man said outside the door: "The hot water has not been boiled yet, the Crown Prince of Xie Kingdom has come down, saying that he has urgent business with you."
"The little prince is here?" Li Luo immediately felt guilty when he heard Xie Tang's name, and couldn't help but whisper to Xie Changying: "It's so late, what is the little prince doing here?"
Xie Changying frowned, he didn't know why Xie Tang came looking for him suddenly, and it was midnight, so late, what's the rush?
Besides, the hot water will be ready soon, can other urgent matters be more anxious than the mandarin duck bath?
Xie Changying said: "It's too late, tell Xie Tang to go back first, let's talk about something tomorrow."
"No, no, I'd better go see him." Li Luo shook his head and said, "Maybe the little prince is really in a hurry."
Xie Changying was dissatisfied, and stared at Li Luo with resentful eyes.
Li Luo and Xie Tang had a good relationship before, which made Xie Changying very jealous. Now Li Luo is going to see Xie Tang in the middle of the night, and Xie Changying is not easy to come forward, so they can only let them get along alone. Li Luo still cares about Xie Tang. , Xie Changying was even more jealous.
Li Luo patted Xie Changying's chest and said, "Beauty, take off your clothes first, obediently take a bath and wait for me, I will come back soon to pamper you!"
Xie Changying was molested by Li Luo, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Then you have to hurry up, don't make me wait."
Li Luo suspected that Xie Changying was seducing him now, so he swallowed his saliva recklessly, and said, "I'll be back soon!"
Li Luo left the room, and soon a servant came in with hot water.
Xie Changying was "not easy to meet people", when the servant came in, he hid himself, and only showed up when the servant left.
Xie Changying looked at the hot water and twitched the corners of his lips, waited for a while and really took off his clothes, then sat in the tub, waited for Li Luo to come back and saw him taking a bath, and then...
Thinking of this, Xie Changying couldn't help laughing. As soon as Li Luo opened the door, his eyes must have stared. After all, the prince is still very confident in his appearance.
Xie Changying spread her arms out, leaning against the edge of the tub with a confident expression, waiting for Li Luo to throw herself into her arms impatiently.
but……
Xie Changying soaked for a while, but Li Luo didn't come back.
Xie Changying soaked for a while, but Li Luo didn't come back.
Xie Changying raised his hand and looked at his fingertips, they were wrinkled from the hot water, but Li Luo still didn't come back.
Xie Changying felt that the hot water had already turned cold, and if he continued to soak like this, he might catch a cold.However, Li Luo still didn't come back!
Xie Changying couldn't take it anymore, Li Luo and Xie Tang had so much to say, and it was still in the middle of the night.The more he thought about it, the more jealous he became, so he stopped taking a bath, stood up, got dressed, and slipped out of the room quietly.
Li Luo met Xie Tang in the tea room, and Xie Changying knew about it, so Xie Changying went to the tea room with ease, and then jumped over the window to enter, and sure enough, she saw Li Luo and Xie Tang sitting face to face.
Li Luo and Xie Tang sat facing each other, with a table between them, the distance was quite safe, which gave Xie Changying some comfort.
The room was very quiet, Li Luo did not speak, neither did Xie Tang.On closer inspection, the two seemed to be drinking tea.
Li Luo took a sip of tea, looked down at the teapot and teacups, and then at the little prince Xie Tang, as if he hesitated to speak, wanted to say something, but didn't speak.
Xie Tang didn't even look at him, he was very calm, with the appearance of a worldly expert.
Xie Tang said quietly: "What's the matter, Prince Li? Do you think the tea brought by Gu is not good?"
"No." Li Luo said with a smile: "The tea is very good. It's just..."
They've been sitting here drinking tea for almost an hour, and just tasting tea...
Xie Tang said he was looking for Li Luo for something urgent, but after Li Luo came, Xie Tang just drank tea with him and didn't say a few words.
Xie Tang said: "Prince Li thinks the tea is good, so drink a few more cups. Gu's tea is indeed top-notch, and other people can't drink it."
Li Luo couldn't bear it anymore, he was still in a hurry to go back to the bath, and said, "Isn't the prince doing anything else? Didn't you say you have something urgent to call on me?"
Xie Tang laughed, he ran over to find Li Luo anxiously, it was indeed something urgent, but he didn't intend to tell Li Luo.
Before going to the second prince's mansion to attend the wedding banquet, Xie Tang found out the adulterous relationship between Xie Changying and "Prince Li". Xie Tang was very angry, and was very dissatisfied with "Prince Li" seducing Xie Changying, and also dissatisfied that Xie Changying changed his mind so quickly. Li Luo.
As Li Luo's friend, Xie Tang got angry the more he thought about it.And there was something that made him even more angry, that is, "Prince Li" had not seduced Xie Changying enough, but also seduced his master!
Xie Tang felt that this matter should not be left alone, so after the wedding banquet was over, Xie Tang asked someone to inquire, and the guards quickly reported back that Yingchuan King Xie Changying and "Prince Li" did not leave together, they left separately.
Xie Changying seemed to have gone back to the mansion, but Xie Tang was also very smart, so he kept a cautious eye and went directly to Xie Changying's Yingchuan Palace. As expected, Xie Changying was not at the mansion, and the servants said that the prince would not come back today.
Xie Tang almost exploded when he heard that, if Xie Changying didn't come back to live, where could he go?He must have been hooked away by that vixen "Prince Li"!It must be living in the residence of "Prince Li"!
Xie Changying lived with the vixen, what else could he do at night?Xie Tang made up his mind a little, and his chest almost exploded with anger. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that they were sorry for Li Luo!
So Xie Tang came, saying that he was looking for "Prince Li" urgently, but in fact there was nothing at all, he just came to delay the time, so that Xie Changying and "Prince Li" could not get along with each other.
Li Luo had a headache, he is also a smart person, at first he didn't understand what Xie Tang meant, but after almost an hour, how could he still not understand?
But Li Luo couldn't explain clearly at the moment, Xie Changying didn't believe it before, would Xie Tang believe it?
Li Luo hesitated for a moment, then broke the boat and said: "Prince, let me tell you the truth, in fact Li Luo..."
Li Luo is me, I am Li Luo.
Before he had time to say these words, Xie Tang suddenly slammed the teacup on the table with a "thud", and scolded: "You deserve to mention his name?"
Li Luo: "..."
Xie Tang is a temperamental person, he has endured "Prince Li" for a long time, the next one couldn't hold back, stood up directly, stared at Li Luo and said: "You think you have confused my uncle, but you can still fool me Is it? I’m telling you! Li Luo is my friend! You are far from him, and you don’t deserve to mention his name at all!”
The more Xie Tang talked, the more angry he became, and he said: "Gu also told you that you want to be with Gu's emperor uncle, this is impossible! Gu doesn't allow it!"
Li Luo looked up at the little prince Xie Tang, feeling that the current situation is very bloody, very similar to the plot of an ancient drama.Xie Tang was like an evil mother-in-law who wanted to separate the male lead and the female lead, as if she would take out a check for a sky-high price in the next moment, throw it in the face of the female lead, and say: Make an offer, take the money and leave me son!
It's a pity that the bloody plot didn't continue, and an unexpected guest left.
The servant hurried in and said, "Prince, Mrs. Han is here."
Xie Tang was startled for a moment, and said, "Master?" It's not just Xie Changying who is here at "Prince Li" in the middle of the night, why is Master also here?Could it be...
Before Xie Tang could think about it, Han Jingting had already walked in, and then directly took Xie Tang's hand and said, "Running around in the middle of the night, Master has been looking for you for a long time, go back to your residence."
Xie Tang looked at Han Jingting strangely, and said, "Master, did you come here to look for me?"
Han Jingting said helplessly: "Otherwise, what are you looking for? It's not peaceful in the capital now, it's already so late, you're not resting in the mansion, and you're still out of the house, why can't I come to you as a teacher? Can I not worry about you? "
Xie Tang's heart felt warm, and he breathed a sigh of relief.It turned out that Master did not come to look for "Prince Li", but came to look for himself.
Xie Tang was taken away by Han Jingting's words, and soon left Prince Li's mansion.
As soon as those two people left, someone turned around from behind Li Luo, it wasn't Yingchuan King Xie Changying.
Xie Changying's hair was still a little wet, but there was a chill on her body, as if she had run ten laps outside in the middle of the night.
Li Luo didn't seem surprised by Xie Changying's appearance, but patted his chest and said, "My lord, you are so smart! Fortunately, I have you! If you hadn't brought Mrs. Han here, I might not have a good day today! The little prince's attitude , want to devour me alive and tear me apart!"
Han Jingting actually didn't know that Xie Tang didn't return home in the middle of the night, it was Xie Changying who went to find him.
Xie Changying ran to the tea room to take a peek, and saw that Xie Tang had a tendency to stay here overnight, so he immediately went to Han Jingting to rescue him, taking Xie Tang away.
Xie Changying came over displeased, lowered her head and kissed Li Luo's lips fiercely, and said, "What are you eating alive? I want to eat you right now."
"My lord, your body is so cold, even your lips are cold." Li Luo said with a smile.
The mandarin duck bath that had been agreed was gone, because Xie Tang made a fuss, the hot water had already been cold, and it was too late now.Li Luo's health was not good in the first place, Xie Changying gave him different kinds of supplements every day, for fear that he would not eat well or get enough sleep.
Although Xie Changying really wanted to eat Li Luo now, but it was too late, so she said, "Come on, come back with me to rest, or you will be sick again tomorrow."
Li Luo was very obedient, and was led by Xie Changying back to the room, and said: "My lord, don't worry, we'll take a bath tomorrow."
……
The story of the second prince is widely known in the city. For a while, some people said that the second prince committed suicide, some said that the second prince was murdered, and some said that the second prince was killed by a ghost. Anyway, there are all kinds of arguments .
The emperor heard about this incident that night, and it was inevitable that he would be furious.At dawn the next day, as soon as the palace gate opened, Li Wuzheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, immediately entered the palace.
The emperor angered Li Wuzheng because of his anger, and cursed his head and face, making Li Wuzheng have to solve the case within ten days, and if he couldn't solve the case, he must be held accountable.
Li Wuzheng was originally a hands-off shopkeeper of Dali Temple. He didn't handle cases at all before, but now he is suffering and has no clue at all.
The case of the second prince is really too weird, Li Wuzheng has no idea at all, he thinks that the second prince is more likely to commit suicide, after all, it was the second prince who asked the housekeeper to set fire, but if he committed suicide, no fool would believe it.
Li Wuzheng came out of the palace with a sigh, stopped riding a horse, and walked towards Dali Temple with a dejected expression.He thought in his heart, it would be great if Li Luo was still there, there seemed to be nothing strange that Li Luo couldn't figure out, if Li Luo was still there, he would definitely be able to solve the case in a short time and save himself from the fire.
"Li Luo... oh-"
Thinking of Li Luolai, Li Wuzheng sighed fiercely, and his whole body became even more decadent.
Li Wuzheng didn't like Li Luo before, he felt that Li Luo was a spy, his identity was a mystery, and he might have ulterior motives, but after getting in touch with him a lot, he felt that Li Luo was a good person, and he was narrow-minded.
But right now, Li Luo is missing, no one is alive, no one is dead, no corpse can be found.
The most important problem is that after looking for Li Luo for a few days, the prince seems to feel that there is no hope, and he doesn't mention looking for someone these two days.
"Ugh--"
"Ugh--"
Li Wuzheng sighed again, but this sigh seemed to have an echo, and someone beside him also sighed hard.
Li Wuzheng looked back and said in surprise, "Little prince? Why are you here? You're still alone."
The person who sighed was the young prince Xie Tang, Xie Tang was alone, without Han Jingting or guards, he looked unhappy and sneaky.
The little prince made a gesture of silence to Li Wuzheng, and said: "Be quiet, I'm catching a traitor."
Li Wuzheng looked up, not far ahead was Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, the little prince came here to catch a traitor?
Li Wuzheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Your master and the prince have a leg?"
Xie Tang immediately glared at Li Wuzheng, and said, "Bah! Why do you slander my master!"
Li Wuzheng was puzzled, and said, "Then why are you here to catch a traitor?"
Xie Tang said bitterly: "Don't you know? Uncle Huang has moved on! He kissed me with that Prince Li."
"How is it possible?" Li Wuzheng didn't believe it, and said: "The prince likes Li Luo, he likes it very much, he hates Prince Li before it's too late, how could he like...like..."
Before Li Wuzheng finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, he was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Not far away is the back door of Yingchuan Palace, Li Wuzheng thought of going to the palace to find Xie Changying after leaving the palace, maybe Xie Changying could help him?
Therefore, Li Wuzheng was in the vicinity of the palace.
