Suddenly, a figure passed behind Liu Xiaogou. When he came back to his senses, Chu Wan had already stood in the center of the hall. She walked towards the front of the hall in a black and green court dress, and bowed to Xu Yu: "Master Prime Minister, can you let Chu Ask this maid."

Xu Yu smiled: "Okay."

Chu Wan knelt down and asked the maid: "You said you saw half a face, which half is it?"

"Upper, upper half of the face." The maid was ambiguous, and Chu Wan continued to ask: "Then what marks do you see on that man's face?"

"The half of the man's face is ugly, and there is a scar in the center of the face. He is about twenty years old." said the maid.

"General Chu, don't play tricks on me." Xu Yu reminded.

"Prime Minister, are you so afraid that Chu will ask something you shouldn't ask?" Chu Wan looked at him from behind the mask, Xu Yu bared, shook his sleeves and stopped talking.

"Tell me again, where did the scar come from?" Chu Wan asked with a smile, which made everyone in the room shudder.The maid calmly said: "From the left forehead to the right corner of the mouth."

"Stand up and point your fingers."

Chu Wan pulled the maid to the center, she stretched out her hand nonchalantly, and drew a line on her face, from the upper left to the corner of her right lip, which was very clear.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, I will reveal the answer." Chu Wan saluted Li Shouqian, and then asked the two maids: "Go over and see, who is the assassin?" The two maids froze, and said: "It's Chu." General." Chu Wan said again: "Did you admit your mistake?"

"Slave..."

Xu Yu didn't dare to decide whether Chu Wan was bluffing or had been prepared, so he said, "General Chu, is this trying to force a confession in front of His Majesty?"

"Chu doesn't dare, not to mention His Majesty is smart, so he will be able to see the clue." Chu Wan turned to Xu Yu, Xu Yu suffered a disadvantage and continued to pretend to be dumb.Chu Wan said again: "You two think it was Chu who committed the assassination?" The two maids nodded, Hua Xian said: "Your Majesty, you only need to take off the mask of General Chu to know."

Li Shouqian said, "Chu Lingmei, are you willing to take off your mask?"

"The subject is His Majesty's subject, so of course I am willing. Please take care of me now."

As Chu Wan took off her mask, everyone was shocked. Chu Lingmei didn't have a scar on her face at all!

"Tell them not to make noise." Ye Ling turned around and lay down, with only one mouth moving.Cao Shishi stood aside, looked out the window, and said, "It's getting dark."

"When it's dark, it's dark. Anyway, it will be bright. Your Majesty is still in Zhaohui Hall?"

"Yes, Miss is still in the hall."

Ye Ling: "Let Your Majesty come down to see me..." Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ling fell asleep, Cao Shishi put out the candle and stood by the door, just like in the past.

"Is everyone watching? Then, my lord prime minister, how did you see this minister?" Chu Wan threw the mask on the ground and asked sharply.Xu Yu calmly said, "Perhaps I misunderstood, Your Majesty, I'm old and my eyes are dim. I said before, it's just my body shape."

"I'll ask the prime minister to see it clearly in the future." Chu Wan knelt down, "Your Majesty, I don't know why these two people want to slander me. If I didn't fear that Your Majesty would be shocked today, so I put on makeup on purpose, I would be afraid of being framed by a villain. , Your Majesty, please strictly investigate the two of them."

After Chu Wan finished speaking, she slammed it heavily on the gold bricks, and her makeup fell off. Everyone nodded after watching, and pointed at each other.

"What about the makeup that General Chu put on after the assassination?" Xu Yu fanned the wind aside.

The wind direction changed immediately, and Chu Wan was not afraid of danger, and said: "Just now you all saw the lady's movements clearly. According to what she said, Chu's scar was drawn from the left forehead. Now, please look carefully."

As she said that, she wiped off a layer of makeup with her cuff, and the scar was exposed. Li Shouqian seemed to be frightened, and stepped back. Chu Wan walked to the outside of the hall, showed everyone present one by one, and said slowly: "I have seen it all." Well, Wei Chen's scar is on the corner of his left lip, Prime Minister, why do you keep speaking for these maids?"

"Your Majesty, I just thought carefully, but I didn't expect to be misinterpreted by General Chu." Xu Yu said aggrievedly.

Li Shouqian laughed loudly: "It's not Chu Qing hahaha, the widow will know." After laughing, he immediately changed his face, "Come on, drag these two despicable maids who bully the king and do not know how to live or die!"

"Your Majesty, I hope you..."

"General Chu, don't worry, I will give you an explanation. Today, all the ministers are tired, so let's all go home." Li Shouqian waved and walked behind the bead curtain.On the side, Zhao Yao pulled the bead curtain twice, causing Wang Jing to stare.

Li Shouqian stood behind the bead curtain: "General Chu is still leaving?"

Chu Wan had no choice but to stop here: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

When Chu Wan walked out of the hall, Liu Xiaogou waited for her while gnawing something, Chu Wan walked over and said, "Thank you." Liu Xiaogou chewed something, slurring his words, "It's fine if it's not you." Chu Wan stared wide-eyed, froze on the spot, After a while, he walked over and hugged him: "Do me a favor."

Liu Xiaogou circled Chu Wan's shoulder with his right hand and punched Chu Wan in the back: "What?"

"Go back and talk."

"Hey, you... didn't do the assassination, did you?" Liu Xiaogou put his hands on his knees and looked up at Chu Wan. Chu Wan lowered her head and smiled, "How is that possible?"

"Where's Li Shouqian?" Ye Ling asked while changing clothes.

"In the study." Cao Shishi said.

Ye Ling threw down the white clothes and smiled in relief: "Understood, let's go."

he knows.

Back in the mansion, Chu Wan threw down the heavy court clothes, collapsed on the armchair, and brought Liu Xiaogou over by the way. "Gouzi, let me tell you something." Chu Wan put her hand on Liu Xiaogou's, and Liu Xiaogou tilted his head: "Don't be so serious, I'm nervous."

"I said it directly, you and Niannian... I see it, can you..." Chu Wan couldn't speak, she asked a general to marry a servant, such a thing is really...

"Gouzi, I just want to ask, don't you mind." Chu Wan looked into his eyes and panicked.

"I still treat you...what kind of friendship do we have? Don't be a stranger, if you don't worry, I will certainly be willing." Liu Xiaogou patted his chest. Seeing that he was still stupid, Chu Wan asked with confidence: "God, have you thought about it?" ?” Liu Xiaogou nodded vigorously: “Yes.”

Then, he twitched: "Where is Nian Nian...?"

Chu Wan said: "I'll tell."

"This is a good nephew." Liu Xiaogou forgot to hold back his emotions for a while, and slapped Chu Wan hard a few times.Chu Wan glared at him and drove him to Wang Nian's side.Now she and Wang Nian are a little embarrassed, and ask Gouzi to talk to each other first to resolve it.

However, today is really thrilling.

In the middle of the night, someone walked into Chu Wan's room. Chu Wan sat up and put the mask on the table: "Thanks to Nian Nian." Wang Nian covered the lampshade and lit the fire: "General, today is safe and sound." Chu Wan Nodding, sitting in front of the mirror, calling for Wang Nian to come over, Wang Nian came over and covered Chu Wan's face with his hands.

With a bark, half of his face fell to the ground.

"Where's Little Dog Liu?" Chu Wan asked, staring at the scar.

Wang Nianwen said softly: "I slept in the side room."

"Yeah." Chu Wan tore off all the fake skin and powder on her face, staring at the scar running through her face without moving.

"Nian Nian, maid..."

"If it wasn't for Ye Xin, would you be able to get away?" Ye Ling said to herself, "Let me guess, you did show half of your face when you wanted to assassinate from behind the screen, but the scar is another Layers of makeup, that's what Wang Nian asked Boss Zhang to do.

Then, you put on your mask and hurriedly changed your clothes before you could get in front of His Majesty. "

"Ye Xin was knocked out by you, and you changed her western clothes into court maid's clothes, put on a mask, and was placed next to Liu Xiaogou, poor fool, who didn't realize it at all.

You walked around behind the screen, saw the right moment, and stabbed Li Shouqian with a knife or something, but you didn't expect that this usually weak His Majesty is actually both civil and military. Block the knife.Continue. "

"You fled to Liu Xiaogou's side, pulled the court lady behind in a panic, and found a dead corner to change clothes. At this time, you tore off the wrongly painted scar on your face, put on your mask, and walked out in a panic." After Ye Ling finished speaking, she asked Ye Xin who was waiting on the beam, "Is that right?"

"Just as the young master expected."

"Actually, as long as Xu Yu takes a closer look, she is not wearing a green skirt under the black robe." Ye Ling smiled, "It's a pity that he only thought about how to convict my little sister."

Ye Xin added: "The belt is tied backwards."

"Oh, she is really careless. Go out of the palace, a group of court ladies will be sent out of the palace tomorrow, you find a chance to get out, remember..."

"The subordinate is just a commoner."

"Let's go."

next day

Ye Ling helped Li Shouqian change his clothes and went to court as usual, as gentle as usual.

Li Shouqian went around behind Ye Ling, pressed his head on the back of Ye Ling's head, and whispered cheaply: "Ye Zi, a palace lady died last night." Ye Ling's eyes kept rolling, tears almost slipped out of his eyes, Li Shouqian seemed to feel that the hug was tight He let go, and walked in front of Ye Ling without looking back: "Aiqing will go back today, and I will go find Aiqing later."

Ye Ling was behind him, staring in horror.He knew that Li Shouqian couldn't hide his panic, bewilderment, and guilt from Li Shouqian. Similarly, Li Shouqian couldn't hide what he knew and didn't know from Ye Ling, because they knew each other too well.

So instead of letting Ye Ling guess, Li Shouqian might as well be in front of him,

tell him:

He knows it all.

"Teacher, Tutor? What's the matter with you?" Cao Shixi reminded in a low voice, Ye Ling came back to his senses, and blinked a few times: "It's a bit spicy."

"Maoshi's shortbread is a bit spicy." Ye Ling closed her peach eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, revealing two rows of white teeth, as if she was smiling.

Cao Shishi: "The servants are rough, our family will let them do it again."

"No, this kind of spicy, one time is enough."

In Cao Shishi's eyes, there was a line of tears on Ye Ling's cheek.Hot crying.

Prime Minister's Mansion

Xu Huahua played with the emerald green bone flute, laughing while playing.Juan'er couldn't stand it anymore: "Miss, let's find a gentleman for you, this... this is really ugly."

Xu Huahua smiled, "No."

"If you quarrel with the master, he can teach you a lesson." Juan'er squatted covering her ears.

Xu Huahua ran up to her, opened her ears, and blew into her ears: "He likes Huaxian, let them live together, I'm free, don't threaten me with my father."

"Miss." Seeing someone behind her, Juan'er changed from a squatting position to a kneeling position, and frowned vigorously.Xu Huahua realized something was wrong and turned around, "...Father."

"You will marry into their family in two months, and you still haven't practiced female virtue?" Xu Yu pulled her up, "Look, which lady in the capital looks like you?"

"If they all look the same, how can there be a difference?" Xu Huahua didn't intend to refute, and Xu Yu sternly shouted: "Shut up, which woman doesn't abide by female virtues, husband and wife, your mother is like this!" Huahua dodged a few steps, and continued, "My mother might have been pissed off by the rules."

"Shut up! Are you still thinking about that Chu? Just listen to me, he will marry the Chen family this month."

"He won't. The Chen family? Which Chen family?" Xu Huahua carried the bone flute behind her back and tucked it into her waist.

"Son, why are you still thinking about that? Hua Xian is very knowledgeable and doesn't know how to travel far. Wouldn't it be better for you to follow him?" Xu Yu supported Xu Huahua's shoulders, persuading him earnestly.

"Father, under the imperial decree, I will marry as soon as I marry, but my heart is not with him."

Xu Yu was furious: "At Chu Lingmei's place?! Well, let me make it clear today, that Chu Lingmei, believe it or not, is a traitor, and his purpose is to kill you, to be your father!

I don't care who he was or what he did before, but now he wants to hurt my daughter, and I want his life! "

Xu Huahua was surprised, and said, "How could General Chu be a traitor? Father, don't be fooled."

"You don't believe it, do you? He did the assassination yesterday! Believe it or not." After speaking, Xu Yu threw off his robe and left gracefully.Juan'er went to help Xu Huahua, Xu Huahua was completely startled, and grabbed Juan'er's cuff tightly: "Do me a favor, go, go and find out what happened in the palace yesterday."

"Miss, how do the servants investigate?" Juan'er kept patting Xu Huahua, "I will lose my head for matters in the palace."

Xu Huahua kept nodding her head like crazy: "I know, I know, then go and find out who Xiaowan wants to marry."

"Skylark, come and help Miss." Juan'er waved to one side, then looked at Xu Huahua, "Miss, I'm going."
