Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple
Chapter 70 1 start, sleep
Seeing Xie Changying's terrified appearance, Li Luo almost kissed him badly.But Li Luo coughed, in order to save his "messy" reputation, in order not to be regarded as a pervert, Li Luo still held back.
Li Luo said seriously, "Yingying, something happened in the mansion today, so from today onwards, you will sleep with Master, you know? Be obedient and don't let Master worry."
"sleep together?"
Xie Changying blinked her big eyes twice, blushed suddenly, but still nodded and said, "I know."
"You're so cute." Li Luo touched the top of Xie Changying's head, thinking how cute he was, he almost couldn't help it.
A child died in the palace, and it was quite unfavorable for Xie Changying's situation.Li Luo didn't tell Xie Changying about this matter carefully. Li Luo felt that Xie Changying was still a child, and telling him was nothing more than to scare him. Since he was there, he had to protect Xiaoyingying well, and he couldn't be hurt. A little bit of damage.
"Okay, Yingying," Li Luo said, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, it's already so late, let's get some rest."
Xie Changying nodded, but looked left and right, and didn't really mean to take a rest.
Li Luo also looked left and right, but didn't notice anything unusual, and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking for?"
Xie Changying was indeed looking for something, and she was looking for someone, and she was looking for Zhao Shuangxi!
Zhao Shuangxi is Li Luo's adopted son, Xie Changying thought to herself, doesn't Zhao Shuangxi live with her husband?Why is there no one there.
There are many rooms in Yingchuan Prince's Mansion. The old butler has arranged for Zhao Shuangxi a room next to Li Luo. Zhao Shuangxi is older than Xie Changying and has a more independent personality, so it is perfectly fine to sleep by herself.
Speaking of which, Xie Changying always slept by himself, but Li Luo wanted to "take advantage" and was worried, so he insisted on keeping Xie Changying by his side and "sleeping in the same bed" with him.
A child died in Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, which is indeed very unsafe.Now Xie Changying's martial arts is not good, the emperor targets the palace everywhere, and the servants in the palace don't have Xie Changying's confidants, so they really need to be careful.
"No..." Xie Changying shook her head and said, "I didn't find anything."
Li Luo said, "Then let's take a rest."
Xie Changying still had no intention of going to bed, looked up at Li Luo, and said, "Don't you need to take a bath first?"
"Ah! I almost forgot!" Li Luo suddenly realized, and suddenly rubbed his hands together and laughed, Xie Changying's skin was covered in goose bumps.
Li Luo held his face and said to himself: "Oh, I got dizzy and almost forgot to bathe Xiaoyingying. I must calm down, calm down, and hold on. Xiaoyingying is still a child!"
Li Luo felt that he was also quite unlucky, and suddenly traveled back to 15 years ago, and his current boyfriend was still a four or five year old kid, so he couldn't speak at all.It sounds very romantic to raise her boyfriend with her own hands, but the truth is...a bit cruel.
The servants quickly brought the bathtub. Xie Changying's face was pure, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all. She took off her little clothes and went into the bathtub to take a bath.
Li Luo had a headache, so he simply sat in front of the long table, picked up a book, and began to read it seriously.
Hearing the sound of rushing water and seeing the densely packed words, Li Luo's restless heartbeat immediately calmed down, and then...
Fell asleep.
After Xie Changying took a shower, she put on her little clothes and walked over to take a look. She thought that the husband was studying seriously so he couldn't be bothered, but who would have thought that the husband would fall asleep lying on top of the desk, and he looked a little...
Kind of inelegant.
Xie Changying obediently walked over, pushed Li Luo, and said, "Master, Master, wake up, you will get sick if you sleep here."
Li Luo snorted, opened a slit of his eyes sleepily, and said with a smile, "My Yingying is really beautiful since childhood, so cute."
Xie Changying couldn't understand what he was talking about, but she blushed for no reason when she heard Master praise him for being cute.
"Master, go to bed and rest." Xie Changying said.
"Oh." Li Luo rubbed his eyes in a daze, then lay limp on the bed, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.Xie Changying shook his head, sighed like a little adult, then climbed onto the bed, lay neatly beside Li Luo, pulled up the quilt for the two of them, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Li Luo slept until midnight, and then remembered that Xiao Yingying was still taking a bath, so she didn't know if she had finished washing.
He opened his eyes, and the room was completely dark, with no light at all.Li Luo suddenly thought that Xiao Yingying probably had finished washing for several hours.
Li Luo turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Xie Changying lying beside him, already asleep and not waking up.
Li Luo didn't dare to make a sound, and didn't dare to turn over again, for fear of waking Xie Changying.
After growing up, Xie Changying was a very light sleeper and extremely alert. Every time Li Luo turned over in the middle of the night, or wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, Xie Changying would be woken up.
But now it's different, little Xie Changying sleeps soundly, inexplicably just watching little Xie Changying sleep makes Li Luo feel very happy.
Li Luo felt that he had had enough sleep, and he was sleepless in the middle of the night, staring at Xie Changying's little face with bright eyes, thinking that I must protect Xie Changying, I will.
In the past, Xie Changying was protecting Li Luo, but now that Xie Changying needed protection, Li Luo would naturally do his best.
Suddenly, a flash of white light outside the window, very abrupt.
It's lightning.
Subconsciously, Li Luo quickly raised his hands, and carefully covered Xie Changying's ears on both sides.
Sure enough, after the lightning passed, there was a loud bang, and the thunder struck down, and it was going to rain again.
It's already winter now, but the weather isn't cold enough to snow yet, but there will always be thunder and rain in the middle of the night these days.
Children are inevitably afraid of thunder, Xie Changying is only four or five years old, there are no exceptions.Speaking of which, Li Luo was also very afraid of thunder when he was a child, so he could understand what Xie Changying was thinking.
Li Luo kept covering Xie Changying's ears. The rolling thunder outside the window lasted for a while, intermittently, and he didn't know when it would pass. Li Luo felt a little numb in his arms, but he didn't dare to let go, for fear that Xie Changying would sleep well. Changying would be woken up.
Thunder struck intermittently for half an hour, but it didn't rain much. After a while, the thunderstorm passed, and the night finally subsided.
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, he had already held his arm for an hour, and felt that if he held it for longer, he might not be able to keep his arm.
Li Luo slowly let go of his hands, and put them back under the quilt little by little.He was grinning, but he didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that his arm would definitely hurt even more tomorrow, so he should go to sleep, it's almost dawn.
Li Luo stared at him most of the night, but he was actually a little sleepy, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When he fell asleep, Xie Changying next to him suddenly moved.
Xie Changying's eyelashes trembled twice quickly, and his big eyes opened. He blinked his big eyes, the pupils were clear and bright, without any feeling of sleepiness, and he didn't look like he had just woken up.
In fact, Xie Changying woke up a long time ago, awakened by the thunder, but he didn't open his eyes when he woke up.
Xie Changying glanced sideways at Li Luo who was already asleep beside him, his bright eyes flickered with complicated emotions.
To be honest, Xie Changying didn't know why he was afraid of thunder, he was also afraid of many things.For example, the dark night, the late night when he is alone.Another example is opening a cabinet and suddenly a dead mouse appears.Or the mutterings of other people...
But as a prince, Xie Changying felt that she shouldn't be afraid, because once she showed fear, everyone would laugh at him and accuse him of mocking him.
As a prince, how can you be afraid?
So the little Xie Changying looked very cold, as if he could do anything, but those were actually just pretending.
The moment Xie Changying was awakened by the thunder just now, he didn't care about being afraid, because he was surprised to find that Li Luo was covering his ears for him, and his movements were cautious.
Xie Changying woke up, but didn't dare to move.Because he was afraid that if he moved, Li Luo would find out, maybe the master would stop covering his ears.
Xie Changying felt that Master's hands were very gentle and made people miss them very much. He didn't want to let those hands go away, and even wanted to hold them.
Xie Changying pretended to be asleep until the thunder stopped.This is the first time that he is not afraid of thunder, because he has no time to care about the thunder, and feels the warmth of Li Luo's hands with all his heart, and he even hopes that the thunder can last a little longer.
"Master..."
Xie Changying felt that her eyes were sore, and quickly blinked several times to ease it, but the effect was not obvious.
Xie Changying raised his small hand and rubbed his eyes, then quickly closed them, as if he was going to sleep, but his breathing was not steady.
At dawn the next day, Xie Changying woke up, but Li Luo likes to sleep in, so she hasn't woken up yet, and she slept very soundly.
Xie Changying sat up and looked at the sleeping Li Luo with her chin resting on her cheeks. A thought suddenly came to her mind, if...
It would be great if I could be with Master forever.
"Knock Knock-"
The knock on the door interrupted Xie Changying's illusion, and Xie Changying turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
"Knock knock..."
There was another knock on the door, although the sound was not loud, but if it continued, it would easily wake up the sleeping Li Luo.
Xie Changying hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on her clothes and ran to the door, and opened the door with her little feet.
There was an unexpected guest outside the door, who came over with breakfast, not much bigger than Xie Changying.
This person is the one Xie Changying dislikes the most now, even Shen Zhongming is compared to him.
"It's you." Xie Changying said calmly with her hands behind her back, full of style.
The little boy with breakfast outside the door was undoubtedly Zhao Shuangxi.
Zhao Shuangxi said politely: "My lord, is my adoptive father awake? I'm here to bring him breakfast."
"It's so early, of course I didn't wake up, the master is still sleeping, come back later, don't wake the master to rest."
Xie Changying's tone was not very friendly, as for why, Xie Changying herself was a little unclear.
Xie Changying said that he was about to close the door, blocking Zhao Shuangxi from the door.
However, Zhao Shuangxi moved very quickly, already holding the breakfast plate with one hand, while the other hand was against the door.
The current Zhao Shuangxi is bigger than Xie Changying, and his martial arts are also much better than Xie Changying.
Zhao Shuangxi's strength with one hand was stronger than that of Xie Changying, and the door made a "squeak", and Zhao Shuangxi pushed it open again.
Then Xie Changying blushed, and watched Zhao Shuangxi walk in Shi Shiran.
Zhao Shuangxi said lightly: "It's okay, I'll wait here for my adoptive father to get up, I still have some things to talk about with my adoptive father."
Inexplicably, Xie Changying felt that not only was she not friendly enough to Zhao Shuangxi, but in fact Zhao Shuangxi was not very friendly to herself either.
Zhao Shuangxi put the breakfast on the table, then walked to the side of the couch, picked up the clothes that Li Luo had thrown on the chair one by one, and folded them neatly so that it was convenient for Li Luo to change after getting up.
After finishing the clothes, Zhao Shuangxi also prepared the washing water and brought them to the small chair beside the bed.
Xie Changying folded her arms and stared at the back of Zhao Shuangxi's head the whole time, thinking to herself, this person named Zhao Shuangxi is very good at currying favor with Master, no wonder he was adopted as a foster son by Master.
"Huh? Where's Yingying?"
When Li Luo woke up, he stretched out his hand to touch it, but there was no one around him, and it was cold.
Li Luo was so frightened that he sat up, fearing that something might happen.
Xie Changying heard Li Luo opened his eyes and was the first to call her, and immediately ran over, feeling inexplicably happy.
"Master, I'm here!"
Xie Changying ran to the bed and looked up at Li Luo.
Seeing Xie Changying, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You got up so early? You don't need to study anyway, why don't you sleep a little longer."
"Father."
Before Xie Changying could speak, Zhao Shuangxi had already walked over.
Xie Changying glanced at him dissatisfied, but Zhao Shuangxi did not look at him, and said, "Father, breakfast is ready, and there is also the whisper that father said to me yesterday..."
Zhao Shuangxi said half of what he said, and what he said was a bit "ambiguous".
Xie Changying didn't understand at all, what whisper?Master only whispered to Zhao Shuangxi...
As Xie Changying thought about it, she immediately became sour. Is there anything that I can only tell Zhao Shuangxi?Why not tell yourself?
"Shuangxi is so powerful." Li Luo said with a smile, "Have you found out all about it?"
"I've already inquired about it." Zhao Shuangxi nodded.
"It's amazing." Li Luo gently squeezed Zhao Shuangxi's little face, and sighed, "It feels so good."
After he finished speaking, he felt a bunch of faint eyes shooting over, piercing himself, almost piercing a hole.
Li Luo looked sideways, and saw Xiao Yingying looking at him with "You are a heartless person" eyes...
Li Luo laughed dryly, and said: "I'll change clothes, you guys go eat breakfast first, go quickly, don't be hungry."
Xie Changying didn't want to eat the breakfast served by Zhao Shuangxi, so she sat down next to Li Luo, folded her arms and said nothing.
Zhao Shuangxi said obediently: "Father, I have already eaten, this is the breakfast brought for my father."
When Li Luo heard this, Zhao Shuangxi was also very well-behaved and obedient, he didn't seem to be a bad boy, at least he was much better than Shen Zhongming's skinny kids.It's just that after 15 years, Zhao Shuangxi has become so incomprehensible.
"Maybe something happened..." Li Luo muttered to himself.
Zhao Shuangxi raised her head and asked, "Father, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Li Luo changed the topic and said, "How is the wound on your body? Come and ask foster father to take a look, and apply the medicine for you again, so that it will heal faster."
Zhao Shuangxi's body was full of scars from being abused, and she looked ferocious. Although Zhao Shuangxi didn't care much, Li Luo still felt very distressed. Such a small child is also very well-behaved, how could he be able to deal with it?
Zhao Shuangxi walked over obediently, unbuttoned it, and wanted to show Li Luo the wound on his body.
"Wait a minute!"
Xie Changying suddenly jumped up, spread his arms like a hen protecting its chicks, and lay between Li Luo and Zhao Shuangxi.
Li Luo lowered his head to look at Xie Changying strangely, and said, "What's the matter, Yingying? Does the wound on your hand hurt too? Master will change your medicine too."
"Yes...it hurts a bit." Xie Changying said vaguely.
When Li Luo asked him what's the matter, Xie Changying actually wanted to ask himself what's the matter too!He was completely overwhelmed, and didn't even think about what he was going to do, so he yelled to wait, and now he regretted it.
Xie Changying hesitated and said, "Well, what I mean is...Master hasn't washed it yet, why don't you wash it, Master, and I'll apply medicine to Zhao Shuangxi."
"You?" Li Luo looked at Xie Changying who volunteered in surprise.
When did his family become so warm-hearted?What about the flower of Gaoling?
Li Luo's heart thumped, Yingying is young now, and his companions are very annoying on weekdays, it is rare to see a very sensible Zhao Shuangxi who is about his age, so it is understandable that Yingying likes Zhao Shuangxi, so it is inevitable ...
So Li Luo was jealous, did Yingying treat Zhao Shuangxi so well?He actually wants to apply medicine to him!
Zhao Shuangxi looked at Xie Changying calmly, and said, "Yes, foster father, foster father must be hungry, let's wash up and have breakfast first, Shuangxi can also help apply medicine to the wound on the prince's hand."
When Li Luo heard this, he gave a dry laugh, and the two of them felt sorry for each other after they finished talking.
It turned out that Xie Changying rubbed the medicine on Zhao Shuangxi, and Zhao Shuangxi helped Xie Changying to rub it on. The two of them really seemed to love each other very much.
Xie Changying turned his back so that Li Luo could only see the back of his head, anyway Li Luo couldn't see Xie Changying gnashing his teeth now.
While applying medicine to Zhao Shuangxi, Xie Changying was grinding her back molars, thinking that Master would not apply medicine to you, and you would never want to get close to my Master.
Zhao Shuangxi's face was indifferent, and when Xie Changying finished applying the medicine to him, he also reciprocated, applying medicine to Xie Changying's hands, and then said something in a low voice...
"Each each other."
Xie Changying almost got angry with Zhao Shuangxi, and said, "Let me tell you, Master belongs to me alone."
"He is my adoptive father." Zhao Shuangxi whispered, "It's just your master."
"I..." Xie Changying clenched her fists and stared at Zhao Shuangxi fiercely.
After Li Luo changed his clothes and took a shower, he saw Zhao Shuangxi and Xie Changying looking at each other, saying that they were sympathetic to each other, but something was wrong, the two children were like two little quails, and there was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder in the air .
"What's wrong with you?" Li Luo asked.
Xie Changying rolled her eyes, and immediately ran to Li Luo's side, raised her hand and said, "Master, I don't know why, it hurts even more after taking the medicine."
Li Luo held Xie Changying's little hand, and carefully checked it distressedly. It seemed that there was no wrong medicine. It was estimated that the wound was sanded by the medicine, so it would hurt a little.
Li Luo blew to Xie Changying several times, and said softly, "Is it better now? Master will blow it to you."
Xie Changying smiled, cast a provocative glance at Zhao Shuangxi next to him, and said, "Master, it's much better if you blow it off."
Zhao Shuangxi was temporarily defeated, obviously not discouraged, immediately stepped forward and said: "Father, I'm afraid I have already inquired about the matter you asked me to inquire about."
"Almost forgot, this is serious business." Li Luo waved to Zhao Shuangxi, Zhao Shuangxi came over obediently, and sat beside Li Luo.
Xie Changying hurriedly sat on the other side of Li Luo, and asked, "Master, what is it?"
Li Luo asked Zhao Shuangxi to help inquire about something, this matter can only be useful if a child is involved, if Li Luo is involved, I am afraid that he will not be able to find out.
Zhao Shuangxi went immediately after hearing this, that's why she came early in the morning to talk to Li Luo about the situation.
Li Luo asked Zhao Shuangxi to find Xie Changying's accompanying children and ask about Shen Du.
Shen Du is also a child, and he often goes to and from Yingchuan Prince's Mansion. Although he doesn't come to study, he is very familiar with the children in the mansion.If you want to inquire about Shen Du's affairs, it is useless to seek adults. Children always have a lot of secrets, and they are only willing to share them with their peers. Adults never know.
So Li Luo sent Zhao Shuangxi to make friends with those children, maybe they can find out something.
And Zhao Shuangxi lived up to expectations, and really found out something.
Zhao Shuangxi said very maturely: "Father, I heard from Shen Zhongming's two little followers that last time Shen Du was beaten up in front of the lord, so he hated the lord very much."
Li Luo heard from the old housekeeper about that matter, Shen Du failed to plot against Xie Changying, but instead was given to the anti-general by Xie Changying, he was in a mess, and was ridiculed by his companions, Shen Du was very angry.
Zhao Shuangxi said: "The two little followers said that Shen Du said that he would not make the prince feel better, and also said that he would sneak into the palace at night to take revenge on the prince."
Li Luo frowned upon hearing this.
Xie Changying was a little surprised, recalled it carefully, and said, "That night... I didn't meet Shen Du, nor was I retaliated against."
Shen Du's body was found in Yingchuan Prince's Mansion. Someone from Dali Temple had already come to take the body away. There must be someone to do a detailed autopsy, but it is impossible to tell the Yingchuan Prince's mansion the results of the autopsy.After all, the emperor had already issued a foot restraint order, and it was obvious that he was treating the people of Yingchuan Palace as suspects.
Although there is no detailed autopsy result, but Li Luo has seen the corpse, and according to a rough inference, Shen Du may have been dead for a few days, and on the night he wanted to take revenge on Xie Changying, he died...
Li Luo asked Zhao Shuangxi: "He said he was going to sneak into the palace at night to take revenge on Yingying? After all, there are so many guards and servants in the palace, how could he get in?"
Zhao Shuangxi said: "To be obedient is to bribe a servant named Zheng Laoer."
All these were told to Zhao Shuangxi by Shen Zhongming's little follower. Zhao Shuangxi gave them a little favor, so the two of them told Zhao Shuangxi.
That day, Shen Du was devastated and felt that he had to take revenge because he was so humiliated. He also made an appointment with Shen Zhongming and two little followers, saying that he wanted them to see for themselves how he took revenge on Xie Changying.
At that time Shen Du said that he had made all the arrangements, as soon as the midnight arrived, someone would let them enter the palace without any hindrance.
It's just that Shen Zhongming and the two little attendants didn't go at all. Who wants to go crazy with him in the middle of the night? Besides, he was treated badly during the day, and everyone looked down on him a bit.
Therefore, Shen Du was probably the only person who entered the palace in the middle of the night.
As a result, Xie Changying was not retaliated, Shen Du suddenly died in the palace, and was buried in the small garden behind Xie Changying's house.
The strangest thing is...
Li Luo had a dream, and the place where Shen Du was buried was the place where Shen Du was buried. He dreamed that he was holding a bloody dagger in his hand and was burying it non-stop.
Thinking of that dream, Li Luo's hands and feet were inexplicably cold. He immediately shook his head, then stood up suddenly and said, "Second Zheng? I'll go see him."
"I'll go with Master."
"I'm going with my adoptive father."
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi spoke in unison, and seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Li Luo looked at Xie Changying from the left and Zhao Shuangxi from the right.I thought to myself that these two children are so well-behaved, and they are still too young. It is not safe in the palace now, so it is better to bring them with me, so that I can feel more at ease.
It was also Li Luo who took one with his left hand and one with his right, and said, "Let's go together."
Across Li Luo, Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi glared at each other, and followed Li Luo without saying anything.
Li Luo still had some impressions of the servant named Zheng Laoer. He had only been in the palace for a few days, but he did know that there was a servant named Zheng Laoer.When the children were studying, Zheng Er Er would often help carry some things. He looked very diligent, but his smile was a little slippery.
Li Luo took the two cuties with him, and when he turned the corner out of the courtyard, whoever thought it was such a coincidence, he had a face-to-face meeting with Zheng's second child.
Mr. Zheng was carrying a broom in his second hand. He was walking towards them, but when he saw Li Luo in the middle of the walk, he felt guilty for a moment, and he turned a corner abruptly and walked towards the side path.
"Second Zheng."
Li Luo called him, but he didn't even look back, he seemed to be pretending he didn't hear, but his walking pace quickened, and it was obvious that he was very guilty.
Zhao Shuangxi took a look, kicked the boots, and heard a "whoosh" sound, a small stone was kicked from the ground by Zhao Shuangxi.The pebble flew out as if it had eyes, and precisely hit Zheng Lao Er's back knee.
"what!"
Zheng Laoer exclaimed loudly, rolled directly on the ground, and a dog ate shit, looking really embarrassed.
Li Luo turned his head to look in surprise, and said, "Shuangxi's martial arts are so good."
Zhao Shuangxi was a little embarrassed, and said: "The foster father is too much."
Xie Changying snorted and snorted.
Li Luo led the two little ones and walked over, Zheng's second son got up, but was blocked by Li Luozheng.
Li Luo looked at Zheng's second child with a smile, and said, "Are you afraid of me? Why are you running so hard, are you guilty?"
"Mr. Li! What are you talking about, Mr. Li?" Zheng's second child said with a playful smile, "I'm cleaning the yard. The housekeeper said that I must clean everything today, otherwise wages will be deducted."
Li Luo didn't bother to make detours with him, so he simply said directly: "Shen Du gave you a lot of benefits, let you let him into the palace in the middle of the night."
"Gudong-"
Mr. Zheng was so frightened that he knelt down immediately, his expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Mr. Li! Mr. Li! You have to be careful! Mr. Shen Du was not killed by me! It really wasn't me! Whatever you want, just treat me as a scapegoat!"
Li Luo smiled and said: "It's not you, what are you afraid of? I heard that you took Shen Du's money and brought him into the palace in the middle of the night. Oh yes, you must be greedy and think that the money Shen Du gave you Less, so you took him into the palace in the middle of the night, found a place where no one was around, killed him directly, and took away all his money, right?"
"No, no!" Zheng Lao Er panicked, waved his hands again and again and said: "Really not! I took money from Master Shen Du, and Master Shen Du just asked me to open a convenient door for him to come in in the middle of the night. I really didn't do anything else, and I don't know why Young Master Shen died!"
If Li Luo cheated a little, then Zheng Laoer would tell everything, and he would dare to hide anything, for fear that Li Luo would take him as a scapegoat.
That night Shen Du gave Zheng Laoer some money, Zheng Laoer opened the small door and let him in.
Afterwards Zheng Laoer guarded the small gate, waiting for Shen Du to finish his work, and then send him out of the small gate, and just go out without anyone noticing.but……
"But I waited until dawn!" Zheng Er Er said, "It's just that I didn't see Master Shen Du come out again, I thought... I thought he left by himself."
When Shen Du entered the palace, Zheng Er Er didn't know what he was doing.But Mr. Zheng looked at his one and a half-year-old child, what kind of earth-shattering things could he do?Nothing to worry about.
So Zheng Lao Er kept waiting, but after waiting for most of the night, Shen Du still didn't come back when it was almost dawn. If he didn't send Shen Du away, he might be put down by the people of the palace.
As a result, Zheng Laoer couldn't wait any longer, so he simply left the small gate and started looking for the trace of Young Master Shen Du in the palace.Mr. Zheng clapped his hands and said, "I can't find it anywhere!"
Zheng Laoer searched around the palace, but he didn't see any trace of Master Shen Du at all. Later, when it was dawn, Zheng Laoer became a little flustered, fearing that others would find out about this matter, he was worried for a long time.
"After dawn, I was quite scared, but there was still no sign of Master Shen Du in the palace." Zheng Laoer said: "I didn't think about it so much at the time, I thought it was Master Shen Du who had left, maybe I slipped away through the back door while I was looking for him. Otherwise, I couldn't just disappear out of thin air!"
No one expected that in such a short time in the middle of the night, Shen Du disappeared out of thin air. He died quietly and was buried in the soil. No one discovered the secret.
Zheng Laoer said: "I really don't know the rest, I really don't know, I didn't harm Master Shen Du."
"My lord! Mr. Li!"
They were talking, when the old housekeeper hurried over and said, "The people from Dali Temple are here, the people from Dali Temple are here!"
People from Dali Temple had already taken away Shen Du's body yesterday, and the attitude of the officials who came was not very friendly. After all, the emperor had already stated his position, and Dali Temple naturally wanted to curry favor with the emperor.
Li Luo frowned and said, "Don't panic, I'll go and have a look."
People from Dali Temple had already entered the door, saying they were here to inquire about the case. As soon as Li Luo led Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi past, he saw a young man standing in the hall with his chest upright, quite dignified.
The officials of Dali Temple next to him nodded and bowed, and said, "Young Master Li! Young Master Li! I'm waiting for official duties. Look at this..."
That handsome little boy turned out to be Li Wuzheng, with his hands behind his back and an unhappy face, he said, "You mean, I'm interrupting your work! Are you scolding me? I'm going to tell my dad! "
"Young Master Li!" The Dali Temple official quickly apologized and said with a smile: "How dare a villain, Young Master Li misunderstood! The villain didn't mean that."
Li Luo raised his brows, no wonder Li Wuzheng is always eating, drinking and having fun and can be a minister of Dali Temple. Not only is there a young man like Xie Changying, king of Yingchuan, but he also has a father who can fight hard.
"Ah! Your lords are here!"
When Li Wuzheng saw Xie Changying and Li Luo, he immediately ran over and said, "I'm here to see you, my lord. How about it? It's interesting!"
As Li Wuzheng said, he patted his small chest several times, making a loud bang.
Li Wuzheng said again: "Don't worry, my lord, with me around, they dare not bully you."
The official of Dali Temple wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "What about Young Master Li, how dare the little people bully the prince, it's just... just handling the case impartially."
Li Luo smiled and said, "It would be great if he could be impartial."
Li Wuzheng knew that the people in Dali Temple would embarrass Xie Changying, so he came to help.Li Wuzheng said proudly, "What do you want me to do, I am bound to do it!"
Li Luo said: "There is really one thing right now. It is not convenient for us to go out, so I want you to help."
"Really?" Li Wuzheng's eyes widened.
You must know that the young master of the Li family has always been said to be ignorant, and no one has asked him for anything, which made Li Wuzheng suddenly a little excited.
Li Luo whispered: "The Shen family lost a child. Shen Du has disappeared for a few days. They didn't say anything. I don't know the reason. It sounds very strange. I need to trouble you to find out."
Indeed, Shen Du disappeared for several days, yet there was no movement in the Shen family. If they hadn't found Shen Du's body, no one would know that Shen Du was dead.
Now Xie Changying, king of Yingchuan, is not allowed to leave the palace for half a step. All the people in the palace are regarded as thieves, and their every move is watched.Although Li Luo is the emperor's man, it is not good to take any action to avoid being exposed.So they really need Li Wuzheng's help right now.
Li Luo said: "You're so smart, it's sure to be fine if I entrust this trivial matter to you."
"Don't worry, I, I, I..." Li Wuzheng was suddenly praised by Li Luo, and he stuttered, then his cheeks became more and more red, and he grinned and said: "You are so beautiful, I used to I must have misunderstood you, I... Oops!"
Before he could finish his sentence, his ass was kicked suddenly.
Li Wuzheng looked back and saw a dusty footprint on his buttocks, and standing a few steps behind him, Xie Changying was looking at him coldly with folded arms.
Li Wuzheng scratched his small forehead and said, "My lord, why are you kicking me..."
Xie Changying said lightly, "Go and find out."
Li Wuzheng muttered, "Are you in such a hurry? I still want to play with the prince for a while, and I brought a new gadget I bought!"
Li Wuzheng took it out of his arms as if offering a treasure, but Xie Changying was unmoved and didn't even look at it.
Li Wuzheng pouted and said, "Then I'll go find out, my baby is for you to play with for a day." He said and stuffed the newly bought toy into Xie Changying's hand.
In fact, Li Wuzheng also knew that Xie Changying was grounded by the emperor, so he must not be happy being bored in the palace, so he specially brought toys for Xie Changying today, to make Xie Changying not feel sad.
"oops!"
As soon as Xie Changying took the toy, she heard Li Wuzheng's exclamation, and almost threw the toy on the ground.
Li Wuzheng said in surprise: "My lord! Do you have a fever! Why are you so hot?"
"Have a fever?" Li Luo was also surprised when he heard that, and said, "How could it be? Didn't you get better a long time ago?"
Li Luo hurriedly touched Xie Changying's small forehead. Just now he walked over holding Xie Changying's hand and didn't feel much. Now when he touched Xie Changying's small forehead again, he felt a little fever, it seemed to be a low-grade fever.
"It must have rained last night, it was too cold." Li Luo was worried, and said, "Quickly, call the doctor."
Li Luo picked up Xie Changying and left, beckoning people to call the doctor as he walked, neglecting everything else.
Xie Changying didn't feel uncomfortable, but seeing Li Luo worried, his heart suddenly felt sweet.
Zhao Shuangxi helped to call the doctor over, and the doctor saw that Xie Changying had a low-grade fever again, but it was not serious, and it was because Xie Changying's body was always a little weak, so the illness easily recurred.
The doctor prescribed a decoction and told Xie Changying to stay in bed and recuperate.
Li Luo strictly ordered Xie Changying not to get out of bed, told him to close his eyes and go to sleep quickly, and take a good rest, but he himself ordered his servants to decoct the medicine until Xie Changying fell asleep.
Li Luo said seriously, "Yingying, something happened in the mansion today, so from today onwards, you will sleep with Master, you know? Be obedient and don't let Master worry."
"sleep together?"
Xie Changying blinked her big eyes twice, blushed suddenly, but still nodded and said, "I know."
"You're so cute." Li Luo touched the top of Xie Changying's head, thinking how cute he was, he almost couldn't help it.
A child died in the palace, and it was quite unfavorable for Xie Changying's situation.Li Luo didn't tell Xie Changying about this matter carefully. Li Luo felt that Xie Changying was still a child, and telling him was nothing more than to scare him. Since he was there, he had to protect Xiaoyingying well, and he couldn't be hurt. A little bit of damage.
"Okay, Yingying," Li Luo said, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, it's already so late, let's get some rest."
Xie Changying nodded, but looked left and right, and didn't really mean to take a rest.
Li Luo also looked left and right, but didn't notice anything unusual, and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking for?"
Xie Changying was indeed looking for something, and she was looking for someone, and she was looking for Zhao Shuangxi!
Zhao Shuangxi is Li Luo's adopted son, Xie Changying thought to herself, doesn't Zhao Shuangxi live with her husband?Why is there no one there.
There are many rooms in Yingchuan Prince's Mansion. The old butler has arranged for Zhao Shuangxi a room next to Li Luo. Zhao Shuangxi is older than Xie Changying and has a more independent personality, so it is perfectly fine to sleep by herself.
Speaking of which, Xie Changying always slept by himself, but Li Luo wanted to "take advantage" and was worried, so he insisted on keeping Xie Changying by his side and "sleeping in the same bed" with him.
A child died in Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, which is indeed very unsafe.Now Xie Changying's martial arts is not good, the emperor targets the palace everywhere, and the servants in the palace don't have Xie Changying's confidants, so they really need to be careful.
"No..." Xie Changying shook her head and said, "I didn't find anything."
Li Luo said, "Then let's take a rest."
Xie Changying still had no intention of going to bed, looked up at Li Luo, and said, "Don't you need to take a bath first?"
"Ah! I almost forgot!" Li Luo suddenly realized, and suddenly rubbed his hands together and laughed, Xie Changying's skin was covered in goose bumps.
Li Luo held his face and said to himself: "Oh, I got dizzy and almost forgot to bathe Xiaoyingying. I must calm down, calm down, and hold on. Xiaoyingying is still a child!"
Li Luo felt that he was also quite unlucky, and suddenly traveled back to 15 years ago, and his current boyfriend was still a four or five year old kid, so he couldn't speak at all.It sounds very romantic to raise her boyfriend with her own hands, but the truth is...a bit cruel.
The servants quickly brought the bathtub. Xie Changying's face was pure, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all. She took off her little clothes and went into the bathtub to take a bath.
Li Luo had a headache, so he simply sat in front of the long table, picked up a book, and began to read it seriously.
Hearing the sound of rushing water and seeing the densely packed words, Li Luo's restless heartbeat immediately calmed down, and then...
Fell asleep.
After Xie Changying took a shower, she put on her little clothes and walked over to take a look. She thought that the husband was studying seriously so he couldn't be bothered, but who would have thought that the husband would fall asleep lying on top of the desk, and he looked a little...
Kind of inelegant.
Xie Changying obediently walked over, pushed Li Luo, and said, "Master, Master, wake up, you will get sick if you sleep here."
Li Luo snorted, opened a slit of his eyes sleepily, and said with a smile, "My Yingying is really beautiful since childhood, so cute."
Xie Changying couldn't understand what he was talking about, but she blushed for no reason when she heard Master praise him for being cute.
"Master, go to bed and rest." Xie Changying said.
"Oh." Li Luo rubbed his eyes in a daze, then lay limp on the bed, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.Xie Changying shook his head, sighed like a little adult, then climbed onto the bed, lay neatly beside Li Luo, pulled up the quilt for the two of them, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Li Luo slept until midnight, and then remembered that Xiao Yingying was still taking a bath, so she didn't know if she had finished washing.
He opened his eyes, and the room was completely dark, with no light at all.Li Luo suddenly thought that Xiao Yingying probably had finished washing for several hours.
Li Luo turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Xie Changying lying beside him, already asleep and not waking up.
Li Luo didn't dare to make a sound, and didn't dare to turn over again, for fear of waking Xie Changying.
After growing up, Xie Changying was a very light sleeper and extremely alert. Every time Li Luo turned over in the middle of the night, or wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, Xie Changying would be woken up.
But now it's different, little Xie Changying sleeps soundly, inexplicably just watching little Xie Changying sleep makes Li Luo feel very happy.
Li Luo felt that he had had enough sleep, and he was sleepless in the middle of the night, staring at Xie Changying's little face with bright eyes, thinking that I must protect Xie Changying, I will.
In the past, Xie Changying was protecting Li Luo, but now that Xie Changying needed protection, Li Luo would naturally do his best.
Suddenly, a flash of white light outside the window, very abrupt.
It's lightning.
Subconsciously, Li Luo quickly raised his hands, and carefully covered Xie Changying's ears on both sides.
Sure enough, after the lightning passed, there was a loud bang, and the thunder struck down, and it was going to rain again.
It's already winter now, but the weather isn't cold enough to snow yet, but there will always be thunder and rain in the middle of the night these days.
Children are inevitably afraid of thunder, Xie Changying is only four or five years old, there are no exceptions.Speaking of which, Li Luo was also very afraid of thunder when he was a child, so he could understand what Xie Changying was thinking.
Li Luo kept covering Xie Changying's ears. The rolling thunder outside the window lasted for a while, intermittently, and he didn't know when it would pass. Li Luo felt a little numb in his arms, but he didn't dare to let go, for fear that Xie Changying would sleep well. Changying would be woken up.
Thunder struck intermittently for half an hour, but it didn't rain much. After a while, the thunderstorm passed, and the night finally subsided.
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, he had already held his arm for an hour, and felt that if he held it for longer, he might not be able to keep his arm.
Li Luo slowly let go of his hands, and put them back under the quilt little by little.He was grinning, but he didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that his arm would definitely hurt even more tomorrow, so he should go to sleep, it's almost dawn.
Li Luo stared at him most of the night, but he was actually a little sleepy, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When he fell asleep, Xie Changying next to him suddenly moved.
Xie Changying's eyelashes trembled twice quickly, and his big eyes opened. He blinked his big eyes, the pupils were clear and bright, without any feeling of sleepiness, and he didn't look like he had just woken up.
In fact, Xie Changying woke up a long time ago, awakened by the thunder, but he didn't open his eyes when he woke up.
Xie Changying glanced sideways at Li Luo who was already asleep beside him, his bright eyes flickered with complicated emotions.
To be honest, Xie Changying didn't know why he was afraid of thunder, he was also afraid of many things.For example, the dark night, the late night when he is alone.Another example is opening a cabinet and suddenly a dead mouse appears.Or the mutterings of other people...
But as a prince, Xie Changying felt that she shouldn't be afraid, because once she showed fear, everyone would laugh at him and accuse him of mocking him.
As a prince, how can you be afraid?
So the little Xie Changying looked very cold, as if he could do anything, but those were actually just pretending.
The moment Xie Changying was awakened by the thunder just now, he didn't care about being afraid, because he was surprised to find that Li Luo was covering his ears for him, and his movements were cautious.
Xie Changying woke up, but didn't dare to move.Because he was afraid that if he moved, Li Luo would find out, maybe the master would stop covering his ears.
Xie Changying felt that Master's hands were very gentle and made people miss them very much. He didn't want to let those hands go away, and even wanted to hold them.
Xie Changying pretended to be asleep until the thunder stopped.This is the first time that he is not afraid of thunder, because he has no time to care about the thunder, and feels the warmth of Li Luo's hands with all his heart, and he even hopes that the thunder can last a little longer.
"Master..."
Xie Changying felt that her eyes were sore, and quickly blinked several times to ease it, but the effect was not obvious.
Xie Changying raised his small hand and rubbed his eyes, then quickly closed them, as if he was going to sleep, but his breathing was not steady.
At dawn the next day, Xie Changying woke up, but Li Luo likes to sleep in, so she hasn't woken up yet, and she slept very soundly.
Xie Changying sat up and looked at the sleeping Li Luo with her chin resting on her cheeks. A thought suddenly came to her mind, if...
It would be great if I could be with Master forever.
"Knock Knock-"
The knock on the door interrupted Xie Changying's illusion, and Xie Changying turned his head to look in the direction of the door.
"Knock knock..."
There was another knock on the door, although the sound was not loud, but if it continued, it would easily wake up the sleeping Li Luo.
Xie Changying hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on her clothes and ran to the door, and opened the door with her little feet.
There was an unexpected guest outside the door, who came over with breakfast, not much bigger than Xie Changying.
This person is the one Xie Changying dislikes the most now, even Shen Zhongming is compared to him.
"It's you." Xie Changying said calmly with her hands behind her back, full of style.
The little boy with breakfast outside the door was undoubtedly Zhao Shuangxi.
Zhao Shuangxi said politely: "My lord, is my adoptive father awake? I'm here to bring him breakfast."
"It's so early, of course I didn't wake up, the master is still sleeping, come back later, don't wake the master to rest."
Xie Changying's tone was not very friendly, as for why, Xie Changying herself was a little unclear.
Xie Changying said that he was about to close the door, blocking Zhao Shuangxi from the door.
However, Zhao Shuangxi moved very quickly, already holding the breakfast plate with one hand, while the other hand was against the door.
The current Zhao Shuangxi is bigger than Xie Changying, and his martial arts are also much better than Xie Changying.
Zhao Shuangxi's strength with one hand was stronger than that of Xie Changying, and the door made a "squeak", and Zhao Shuangxi pushed it open again.
Then Xie Changying blushed, and watched Zhao Shuangxi walk in Shi Shiran.
Zhao Shuangxi said lightly: "It's okay, I'll wait here for my adoptive father to get up, I still have some things to talk about with my adoptive father."
Inexplicably, Xie Changying felt that not only was she not friendly enough to Zhao Shuangxi, but in fact Zhao Shuangxi was not very friendly to herself either.
Zhao Shuangxi put the breakfast on the table, then walked to the side of the couch, picked up the clothes that Li Luo had thrown on the chair one by one, and folded them neatly so that it was convenient for Li Luo to change after getting up.
After finishing the clothes, Zhao Shuangxi also prepared the washing water and brought them to the small chair beside the bed.
Xie Changying folded her arms and stared at the back of Zhao Shuangxi's head the whole time, thinking to herself, this person named Zhao Shuangxi is very good at currying favor with Master, no wonder he was adopted as a foster son by Master.
"Huh? Where's Yingying?"
When Li Luo woke up, he stretched out his hand to touch it, but there was no one around him, and it was cold.
Li Luo was so frightened that he sat up, fearing that something might happen.
Xie Changying heard Li Luo opened his eyes and was the first to call her, and immediately ran over, feeling inexplicably happy.
"Master, I'm here!"
Xie Changying ran to the bed and looked up at Li Luo.
Seeing Xie Changying, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You got up so early? You don't need to study anyway, why don't you sleep a little longer."
"Father."
Before Xie Changying could speak, Zhao Shuangxi had already walked over.
Xie Changying glanced at him dissatisfied, but Zhao Shuangxi did not look at him, and said, "Father, breakfast is ready, and there is also the whisper that father said to me yesterday..."
Zhao Shuangxi said half of what he said, and what he said was a bit "ambiguous".
Xie Changying didn't understand at all, what whisper?Master only whispered to Zhao Shuangxi...
As Xie Changying thought about it, she immediately became sour. Is there anything that I can only tell Zhao Shuangxi?Why not tell yourself?
"Shuangxi is so powerful." Li Luo said with a smile, "Have you found out all about it?"
"I've already inquired about it." Zhao Shuangxi nodded.
"It's amazing." Li Luo gently squeezed Zhao Shuangxi's little face, and sighed, "It feels so good."
After he finished speaking, he felt a bunch of faint eyes shooting over, piercing himself, almost piercing a hole.
Li Luo looked sideways, and saw Xiao Yingying looking at him with "You are a heartless person" eyes...
Li Luo laughed dryly, and said: "I'll change clothes, you guys go eat breakfast first, go quickly, don't be hungry."
Xie Changying didn't want to eat the breakfast served by Zhao Shuangxi, so she sat down next to Li Luo, folded her arms and said nothing.
Zhao Shuangxi said obediently: "Father, I have already eaten, this is the breakfast brought for my father."
When Li Luo heard this, Zhao Shuangxi was also very well-behaved and obedient, he didn't seem to be a bad boy, at least he was much better than Shen Zhongming's skinny kids.It's just that after 15 years, Zhao Shuangxi has become so incomprehensible.
"Maybe something happened..." Li Luo muttered to himself.
Zhao Shuangxi raised her head and asked, "Father, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Li Luo changed the topic and said, "How is the wound on your body? Come and ask foster father to take a look, and apply the medicine for you again, so that it will heal faster."
Zhao Shuangxi's body was full of scars from being abused, and she looked ferocious. Although Zhao Shuangxi didn't care much, Li Luo still felt very distressed. Such a small child is also very well-behaved, how could he be able to deal with it?
Zhao Shuangxi walked over obediently, unbuttoned it, and wanted to show Li Luo the wound on his body.
"Wait a minute!"
Xie Changying suddenly jumped up, spread his arms like a hen protecting its chicks, and lay between Li Luo and Zhao Shuangxi.
Li Luo lowered his head to look at Xie Changying strangely, and said, "What's the matter, Yingying? Does the wound on your hand hurt too? Master will change your medicine too."
"Yes...it hurts a bit." Xie Changying said vaguely.
When Li Luo asked him what's the matter, Xie Changying actually wanted to ask himself what's the matter too!He was completely overwhelmed, and didn't even think about what he was going to do, so he yelled to wait, and now he regretted it.
Xie Changying hesitated and said, "Well, what I mean is...Master hasn't washed it yet, why don't you wash it, Master, and I'll apply medicine to Zhao Shuangxi."
"You?" Li Luo looked at Xie Changying who volunteered in surprise.
When did his family become so warm-hearted?What about the flower of Gaoling?
Li Luo's heart thumped, Yingying is young now, and his companions are very annoying on weekdays, it is rare to see a very sensible Zhao Shuangxi who is about his age, so it is understandable that Yingying likes Zhao Shuangxi, so it is inevitable ...
So Li Luo was jealous, did Yingying treat Zhao Shuangxi so well?He actually wants to apply medicine to him!
Zhao Shuangxi looked at Xie Changying calmly, and said, "Yes, foster father, foster father must be hungry, let's wash up and have breakfast first, Shuangxi can also help apply medicine to the wound on the prince's hand."
When Li Luo heard this, he gave a dry laugh, and the two of them felt sorry for each other after they finished talking.
It turned out that Xie Changying rubbed the medicine on Zhao Shuangxi, and Zhao Shuangxi helped Xie Changying to rub it on. The two of them really seemed to love each other very much.
Xie Changying turned his back so that Li Luo could only see the back of his head, anyway Li Luo couldn't see Xie Changying gnashing his teeth now.
While applying medicine to Zhao Shuangxi, Xie Changying was grinding her back molars, thinking that Master would not apply medicine to you, and you would never want to get close to my Master.
Zhao Shuangxi's face was indifferent, and when Xie Changying finished applying the medicine to him, he also reciprocated, applying medicine to Xie Changying's hands, and then said something in a low voice...
"Each each other."
Xie Changying almost got angry with Zhao Shuangxi, and said, "Let me tell you, Master belongs to me alone."
"He is my adoptive father." Zhao Shuangxi whispered, "It's just your master."
"I..." Xie Changying clenched her fists and stared at Zhao Shuangxi fiercely.
After Li Luo changed his clothes and took a shower, he saw Zhao Shuangxi and Xie Changying looking at each other, saying that they were sympathetic to each other, but something was wrong, the two children were like two little quails, and there was an inexplicable smell of gunpowder in the air .
"What's wrong with you?" Li Luo asked.
Xie Changying rolled her eyes, and immediately ran to Li Luo's side, raised her hand and said, "Master, I don't know why, it hurts even more after taking the medicine."
Li Luo held Xie Changying's little hand, and carefully checked it distressedly. It seemed that there was no wrong medicine. It was estimated that the wound was sanded by the medicine, so it would hurt a little.
Li Luo blew to Xie Changying several times, and said softly, "Is it better now? Master will blow it to you."
Xie Changying smiled, cast a provocative glance at Zhao Shuangxi next to him, and said, "Master, it's much better if you blow it off."
Zhao Shuangxi was temporarily defeated, obviously not discouraged, immediately stepped forward and said: "Father, I'm afraid I have already inquired about the matter you asked me to inquire about."
"Almost forgot, this is serious business." Li Luo waved to Zhao Shuangxi, Zhao Shuangxi came over obediently, and sat beside Li Luo.
Xie Changying hurriedly sat on the other side of Li Luo, and asked, "Master, what is it?"
Li Luo asked Zhao Shuangxi to help inquire about something, this matter can only be useful if a child is involved, if Li Luo is involved, I am afraid that he will not be able to find out.
Zhao Shuangxi went immediately after hearing this, that's why she came early in the morning to talk to Li Luo about the situation.
Li Luo asked Zhao Shuangxi to find Xie Changying's accompanying children and ask about Shen Du.
Shen Du is also a child, and he often goes to and from Yingchuan Prince's Mansion. Although he doesn't come to study, he is very familiar with the children in the mansion.If you want to inquire about Shen Du's affairs, it is useless to seek adults. Children always have a lot of secrets, and they are only willing to share them with their peers. Adults never know.
So Li Luo sent Zhao Shuangxi to make friends with those children, maybe they can find out something.
And Zhao Shuangxi lived up to expectations, and really found out something.
Zhao Shuangxi said very maturely: "Father, I heard from Shen Zhongming's two little followers that last time Shen Du was beaten up in front of the lord, so he hated the lord very much."
Li Luo heard from the old housekeeper about that matter, Shen Du failed to plot against Xie Changying, but instead was given to the anti-general by Xie Changying, he was in a mess, and was ridiculed by his companions, Shen Du was very angry.
Zhao Shuangxi said: "The two little followers said that Shen Du said that he would not make the prince feel better, and also said that he would sneak into the palace at night to take revenge on the prince."
Li Luo frowned upon hearing this.
Xie Changying was a little surprised, recalled it carefully, and said, "That night... I didn't meet Shen Du, nor was I retaliated against."
Shen Du's body was found in Yingchuan Prince's Mansion. Someone from Dali Temple had already come to take the body away. There must be someone to do a detailed autopsy, but it is impossible to tell the Yingchuan Prince's mansion the results of the autopsy.After all, the emperor had already issued a foot restraint order, and it was obvious that he was treating the people of Yingchuan Palace as suspects.
Although there is no detailed autopsy result, but Li Luo has seen the corpse, and according to a rough inference, Shen Du may have been dead for a few days, and on the night he wanted to take revenge on Xie Changying, he died...
Li Luo asked Zhao Shuangxi: "He said he was going to sneak into the palace at night to take revenge on Yingying? After all, there are so many guards and servants in the palace, how could he get in?"
Zhao Shuangxi said: "To be obedient is to bribe a servant named Zheng Laoer."
All these were told to Zhao Shuangxi by Shen Zhongming's little follower. Zhao Shuangxi gave them a little favor, so the two of them told Zhao Shuangxi.
That day, Shen Du was devastated and felt that he had to take revenge because he was so humiliated. He also made an appointment with Shen Zhongming and two little followers, saying that he wanted them to see for themselves how he took revenge on Xie Changying.
At that time Shen Du said that he had made all the arrangements, as soon as the midnight arrived, someone would let them enter the palace without any hindrance.
It's just that Shen Zhongming and the two little attendants didn't go at all. Who wants to go crazy with him in the middle of the night? Besides, he was treated badly during the day, and everyone looked down on him a bit.
Therefore, Shen Du was probably the only person who entered the palace in the middle of the night.
As a result, Xie Changying was not retaliated, Shen Du suddenly died in the palace, and was buried in the small garden behind Xie Changying's house.
The strangest thing is...
Li Luo had a dream, and the place where Shen Du was buried was the place where Shen Du was buried. He dreamed that he was holding a bloody dagger in his hand and was burying it non-stop.
Thinking of that dream, Li Luo's hands and feet were inexplicably cold. He immediately shook his head, then stood up suddenly and said, "Second Zheng? I'll go see him."
"I'll go with Master."
"I'm going with my adoptive father."
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi spoke in unison, and seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Li Luo looked at Xie Changying from the left and Zhao Shuangxi from the right.I thought to myself that these two children are so well-behaved, and they are still too young. It is not safe in the palace now, so it is better to bring them with me, so that I can feel more at ease.
It was also Li Luo who took one with his left hand and one with his right, and said, "Let's go together."
Across Li Luo, Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi glared at each other, and followed Li Luo without saying anything.
Li Luo still had some impressions of the servant named Zheng Laoer. He had only been in the palace for a few days, but he did know that there was a servant named Zheng Laoer.When the children were studying, Zheng Er Er would often help carry some things. He looked very diligent, but his smile was a little slippery.
Li Luo took the two cuties with him, and when he turned the corner out of the courtyard, whoever thought it was such a coincidence, he had a face-to-face meeting with Zheng's second child.
Mr. Zheng was carrying a broom in his second hand. He was walking towards them, but when he saw Li Luo in the middle of the walk, he felt guilty for a moment, and he turned a corner abruptly and walked towards the side path.
"Second Zheng."
Li Luo called him, but he didn't even look back, he seemed to be pretending he didn't hear, but his walking pace quickened, and it was obvious that he was very guilty.
Zhao Shuangxi took a look, kicked the boots, and heard a "whoosh" sound, a small stone was kicked from the ground by Zhao Shuangxi.The pebble flew out as if it had eyes, and precisely hit Zheng Lao Er's back knee.
"what!"
Zheng Laoer exclaimed loudly, rolled directly on the ground, and a dog ate shit, looking really embarrassed.
Li Luo turned his head to look in surprise, and said, "Shuangxi's martial arts are so good."
Zhao Shuangxi was a little embarrassed, and said: "The foster father is too much."
Xie Changying snorted and snorted.
Li Luo led the two little ones and walked over, Zheng's second son got up, but was blocked by Li Luozheng.
Li Luo looked at Zheng's second child with a smile, and said, "Are you afraid of me? Why are you running so hard, are you guilty?"
"Mr. Li! What are you talking about, Mr. Li?" Zheng's second child said with a playful smile, "I'm cleaning the yard. The housekeeper said that I must clean everything today, otherwise wages will be deducted."
Li Luo didn't bother to make detours with him, so he simply said directly: "Shen Du gave you a lot of benefits, let you let him into the palace in the middle of the night."
"Gudong-"
Mr. Zheng was so frightened that he knelt down immediately, his expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Mr. Li! Mr. Li! You have to be careful! Mr. Shen Du was not killed by me! It really wasn't me! Whatever you want, just treat me as a scapegoat!"
Li Luo smiled and said: "It's not you, what are you afraid of? I heard that you took Shen Du's money and brought him into the palace in the middle of the night. Oh yes, you must be greedy and think that the money Shen Du gave you Less, so you took him into the palace in the middle of the night, found a place where no one was around, killed him directly, and took away all his money, right?"
"No, no!" Zheng Lao Er panicked, waved his hands again and again and said: "Really not! I took money from Master Shen Du, and Master Shen Du just asked me to open a convenient door for him to come in in the middle of the night. I really didn't do anything else, and I don't know why Young Master Shen died!"
If Li Luo cheated a little, then Zheng Laoer would tell everything, and he would dare to hide anything, for fear that Li Luo would take him as a scapegoat.
That night Shen Du gave Zheng Laoer some money, Zheng Laoer opened the small door and let him in.
Afterwards Zheng Laoer guarded the small gate, waiting for Shen Du to finish his work, and then send him out of the small gate, and just go out without anyone noticing.but……
"But I waited until dawn!" Zheng Er Er said, "It's just that I didn't see Master Shen Du come out again, I thought... I thought he left by himself."
When Shen Du entered the palace, Zheng Er Er didn't know what he was doing.But Mr. Zheng looked at his one and a half-year-old child, what kind of earth-shattering things could he do?Nothing to worry about.
So Zheng Lao Er kept waiting, but after waiting for most of the night, Shen Du still didn't come back when it was almost dawn. If he didn't send Shen Du away, he might be put down by the people of the palace.
As a result, Zheng Laoer couldn't wait any longer, so he simply left the small gate and started looking for the trace of Young Master Shen Du in the palace.Mr. Zheng clapped his hands and said, "I can't find it anywhere!"
Zheng Laoer searched around the palace, but he didn't see any trace of Master Shen Du at all. Later, when it was dawn, Zheng Laoer became a little flustered, fearing that others would find out about this matter, he was worried for a long time.
"After dawn, I was quite scared, but there was still no sign of Master Shen Du in the palace." Zheng Laoer said: "I didn't think about it so much at the time, I thought it was Master Shen Du who had left, maybe I slipped away through the back door while I was looking for him. Otherwise, I couldn't just disappear out of thin air!"
No one expected that in such a short time in the middle of the night, Shen Du disappeared out of thin air. He died quietly and was buried in the soil. No one discovered the secret.
Zheng Laoer said: "I really don't know the rest, I really don't know, I didn't harm Master Shen Du."
"My lord! Mr. Li!"
They were talking, when the old housekeeper hurried over and said, "The people from Dali Temple are here, the people from Dali Temple are here!"
People from Dali Temple had already taken away Shen Du's body yesterday, and the attitude of the officials who came was not very friendly. After all, the emperor had already stated his position, and Dali Temple naturally wanted to curry favor with the emperor.
Li Luo frowned and said, "Don't panic, I'll go and have a look."
People from Dali Temple had already entered the door, saying they were here to inquire about the case. As soon as Li Luo led Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi past, he saw a young man standing in the hall with his chest upright, quite dignified.
The officials of Dali Temple next to him nodded and bowed, and said, "Young Master Li! Young Master Li! I'm waiting for official duties. Look at this..."
That handsome little boy turned out to be Li Wuzheng, with his hands behind his back and an unhappy face, he said, "You mean, I'm interrupting your work! Are you scolding me? I'm going to tell my dad! "
"Young Master Li!" The Dali Temple official quickly apologized and said with a smile: "How dare a villain, Young Master Li misunderstood! The villain didn't mean that."
Li Luo raised his brows, no wonder Li Wuzheng is always eating, drinking and having fun and can be a minister of Dali Temple. Not only is there a young man like Xie Changying, king of Yingchuan, but he also has a father who can fight hard.
"Ah! Your lords are here!"
When Li Wuzheng saw Xie Changying and Li Luo, he immediately ran over and said, "I'm here to see you, my lord. How about it? It's interesting!"
As Li Wuzheng said, he patted his small chest several times, making a loud bang.
Li Wuzheng said again: "Don't worry, my lord, with me around, they dare not bully you."
The official of Dali Temple wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "What about Young Master Li, how dare the little people bully the prince, it's just... just handling the case impartially."
Li Luo smiled and said, "It would be great if he could be impartial."
Li Wuzheng knew that the people in Dali Temple would embarrass Xie Changying, so he came to help.Li Wuzheng said proudly, "What do you want me to do, I am bound to do it!"
Li Luo said: "There is really one thing right now. It is not convenient for us to go out, so I want you to help."
"Really?" Li Wuzheng's eyes widened.
You must know that the young master of the Li family has always been said to be ignorant, and no one has asked him for anything, which made Li Wuzheng suddenly a little excited.
Li Luo whispered: "The Shen family lost a child. Shen Du has disappeared for a few days. They didn't say anything. I don't know the reason. It sounds very strange. I need to trouble you to find out."
Indeed, Shen Du disappeared for several days, yet there was no movement in the Shen family. If they hadn't found Shen Du's body, no one would know that Shen Du was dead.
Now Xie Changying, king of Yingchuan, is not allowed to leave the palace for half a step. All the people in the palace are regarded as thieves, and their every move is watched.Although Li Luo is the emperor's man, it is not good to take any action to avoid being exposed.So they really need Li Wuzheng's help right now.
Li Luo said: "You're so smart, it's sure to be fine if I entrust this trivial matter to you."
"Don't worry, I, I, I..." Li Wuzheng was suddenly praised by Li Luo, and he stuttered, then his cheeks became more and more red, and he grinned and said: "You are so beautiful, I used to I must have misunderstood you, I... Oops!"
Before he could finish his sentence, his ass was kicked suddenly.
Li Wuzheng looked back and saw a dusty footprint on his buttocks, and standing a few steps behind him, Xie Changying was looking at him coldly with folded arms.
Li Wuzheng scratched his small forehead and said, "My lord, why are you kicking me..."
Xie Changying said lightly, "Go and find out."
Li Wuzheng muttered, "Are you in such a hurry? I still want to play with the prince for a while, and I brought a new gadget I bought!"
Li Wuzheng took it out of his arms as if offering a treasure, but Xie Changying was unmoved and didn't even look at it.
Li Wuzheng pouted and said, "Then I'll go find out, my baby is for you to play with for a day." He said and stuffed the newly bought toy into Xie Changying's hand.
In fact, Li Wuzheng also knew that Xie Changying was grounded by the emperor, so he must not be happy being bored in the palace, so he specially brought toys for Xie Changying today, to make Xie Changying not feel sad.
"oops!"
As soon as Xie Changying took the toy, she heard Li Wuzheng's exclamation, and almost threw the toy on the ground.
Li Wuzheng said in surprise: "My lord! Do you have a fever! Why are you so hot?"
"Have a fever?" Li Luo was also surprised when he heard that, and said, "How could it be? Didn't you get better a long time ago?"
Li Luo hurriedly touched Xie Changying's small forehead. Just now he walked over holding Xie Changying's hand and didn't feel much. Now when he touched Xie Changying's small forehead again, he felt a little fever, it seemed to be a low-grade fever.
"It must have rained last night, it was too cold." Li Luo was worried, and said, "Quickly, call the doctor."
Li Luo picked up Xie Changying and left, beckoning people to call the doctor as he walked, neglecting everything else.
Xie Changying didn't feel uncomfortable, but seeing Li Luo worried, his heart suddenly felt sweet.
Zhao Shuangxi helped to call the doctor over, and the doctor saw that Xie Changying had a low-grade fever again, but it was not serious, and it was because Xie Changying's body was always a little weak, so the illness easily recurred.
The doctor prescribed a decoction and told Xie Changying to stay in bed and recuperate.
Li Luo strictly ordered Xie Changying not to get out of bed, told him to close his eyes and go to sleep quickly, and take a good rest, but he himself ordered his servants to decoct the medicine until Xie Changying fell asleep.
