Seventy Five Travel Accidents

It was late at night, and the originally brightly lit imperial palace had already turned off the lights in several courtyards.In the depths of the harem, in Concubine Zhu's courtyard, there were scattered candles, and the cold wind was bleak. Compared with the daytime, it was a bit bleak.

In Concubine Zhu's bedroom, the candles were still on, and more than one candle was lit.From the outside, it was brightly lit, with at least ten candles lit.In the entire courtyard, her place is the brightest.

Zhan Zhao knocked out the maidservant who was keeping watch outside the door, and at the same time glanced at Shen Chuyi who was playing with him behind the rockery.Although I have seen it before, it is really shocking at first glance.

The other party was dressed in white, and the red on it was particularly eye-catching.Her hair was loose, covering half of her face.On the face that was not blocked, the skin was pale, the eyes were dull, and the corners of the eyes and mouth were bloody.Her hands were blood red, and she held a bloody needle and thread in her left hand.At this moment, she is holding a black eyebrow pencil in her right hand and drawing graffiti on her neck.

Zhan Zhao approached, coughed lightly, and asked her, "Will Concubine Zhu be fooled?"

Shen Chuyi handed the brush to Zhan Zhao, and suddenly raised his head to reveal a big face, and stretched out his neck: "Master Zhan, do you think my drawing looks like a stitch?"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped back, looked at her for a moment, and said, "If you don't pay attention, they look alike."

Only then was Shen Chuyi satisfied, and lowered his head, while smoothing his hair, he answered Zhan Zhao's question just now: "I will be fooled, Concubine Zhu has a ghost in her heart."

The other party has a ghost in his heart, and she dresses so carefully, how could she not be fooled?

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Shen Chuyi finished messing with himself, his voice slowed down, his speech slowed down, and he spoke like a ghost: "Master Zhan...do you think I look like a ghost..."

Zhan Zhao swallowed his saliva: "People are not human, ghosts are not ghosts."

Shen Chuyi let out a "cut", then walked out of the rockery and said, "I'm going."

In the courtyard, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce have also arrived.When they saw Shen Chuyi, they were all taken aback.He couldn't help but move back, stepping away from her.

"Lord Bao, Mr. Gongsun, listen carefully." Shen Chuyi blinked, originally wanting to be playful, but she didn't realize that this was even more terrifying.

After finishing speaking, he went straight to Concubine Zhu's room.

She walked slowly, but still deliberately left a sound.

If the people inside are not asleep, they must be able to hear it.

"Knock knock knock."

Shen Chu knocked on the door one by one, with different rhythms, some light and some heavy.

"Who?"

Someone inside made a sound.

"Who is outside?"

As expected, Concubine Zhu didn't sleep!

"It's me... Sister Zhu..." Shen Chu said in a ghostly voice, "It's me, your sister Liu..."

"Ah!" Zhu Bin yelled.

Zhan Zhao, who had already arrived in the courtyard, felt dumbfounded when he heard Shen Chu pretending to be a ghost.Although Concubine Zhu screamed shrilly, fortunately she had controlled all the servants and slaves in the courtyard before, and outside the courtyard, at this moment, they were all from Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise Concubine Zhu's screaming would have caused trouble.

Thinking about it, he used his strength to fly to the roof and gently opened the tiles.

Inside the house, Zhu Bin was shivering on the bed.

In her house, at least seven or eight oil lamps were lit.He used the stones he had prepared in advance to fly in from the roof one by one, one after another, and the oil lamp was completely extinguished.

Outside the house, Shen Chuyi kept talking to distract Concubine Zhu's attention.

The room was plunged into darkness, and Zhu Bin screamed again and again in fright.

As soon as Shen Chu couldn't knock on the door, he walked slowly to the window, still talking: "Sister Zhu, sister is so lonely by herself... Come and talk to sister..."

Concubine Zhu was so frightened that she yelled for someone to come.After several calls, there was still no response.She was so scared that she rolled off the bed and cried, "Sister Liu, don't come to me...I don't know anything..."

"Not looking for you?" Shen Chuyi smiled and continued, "If it weren't for you, I would be what I am today?"

She pushed the window, and the window was locked.She walked to the other side slowly, and continued: "My sister can come now, thanks to the needle and thread I found, otherwise it would be my sister's rudeness to come to see my sister in a few lands..."

"Ah, I died so badly..."

Through the window, Zhu Bin saw the needle in the opponent's figure.She shook her body and said, "Sister, I don't know anything... Yes, someone asked me to poison you, it was not my intention!"

Concubine Zhu admitted it!

Shen Chuyi hooked the corner of his mouth and pushed the window on the other side, but it still couldn't be opened.

"Sister Zhu, come and open the door for sister..."

Concubine Zhu tightened her body, not moving a step.

"Sister, it's not me! Go find someone else!"

"Others? Who is it?"

"It's Eunuch Li!"

"Eunuch Li?"

"Yes, Li Deshan, Eunuch Li!"

"I have no grievances with him, why did he want to kill me?"

"Sister, sister doesn't know!"

"What about you? Why did you hurt me?"

"I... I'm all infatuated by ghosts. Eunuch Li said he would speak well of me in front of the emperor. I thought it would be okay... No, sister, I didn't hurt you. I gave Xiao Shunzi the medicine! He did it! It's you, it's him!"

"He came to accompany me a long time ago..." Shen Chuyi said slowly, "Now, it's your turn to accompany me!"

Her tone became heavier, Zhan Zhao on the roof understood, and immediately knocked down the door bolt with a stone.

Concubine Zhu yelled again.

Shen Chuyi walked to the door without opening it, but asked her, "Why are you doing this to me? You don't leave me alone?"

"I-I don't know, sister, I thought they were just going to poison you to death! I didn't know they were going to dismember you! Sister, can you forgive me? I really didn't mean to look like you now... "

"But you killed me because you had a heart."

As she spoke, she pushed the door open, exposing her entire figure in front of Concubine Zhu.

Under the cold wind, her hair was flying, and her skin was as pale as her clothes.But on white, red is shocking.

Concubine Zhu only glanced at it, but didn't dare to look any further, and cried loudly, "Sister, please forgive me... woo woo woo..."

"I forgive you, but I am dead now, and the murderer is still at large!"

"It was Li Deshan, it was he who found me! He was the one who asked me to pretend to be sick and collect the arsenic! It was he who asked Xiao Shunzi to collect the arsenic! Sister, he must have cut your bones open, you Go find him..."

"Woooooooo..."

Concubine Zhu covered her head and cried, and Shen Chu left in a flash, allowing Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce who had been in the courtyard early in the morning to show up.

"Concubine Zhu, are you convicted?"

In the dark night, Master Bao's voice is like salvation.

Regardless of what he was saying, Concubine Zhu immediately ran to Master Bao's side and asked, "Master Bao, did you drive Concubine Liu away?"

Uh……

Bao Zheng didn't know what to say.

Thinking that he admitted it, Zhu Bin immediately relaxed.As soon as she relaxed, her consciousness became blurred, and her whole body was exhausted.Anyway, before she fell, she saw Bao Zheng's position, and then closed her eyes in peace.

Bao Zheng looked at Concubine Zhu who had fainted, and the corners of his mouth twitched. While supporting her body, he asked Gongsun Ce: "Mr. Gongsun, why did you and I appear?"

Gongsun Ce coughed, and replied solemnly: "In order to convince Concubine Zhu to trust Master Bao, I know everything."

"How can you say that?" Bao Zheng helped his forehead.

"Uh……"

Zhan Zhao, who was on the roof, heard the conversation between the two, got off the roof with a suppressed laugh, and went straight to the direction of Shen Chuyi outside the courtyard.

The white-clothed Shen Chuyi had just left the gate of Concubine Zhu's courtyard when he bumped into another white-clothed man, Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang just came back from work, heard that Mr. Bao is here, and is about to come here to report the situation.Before entering the door, I saw a white shadow rushing out.Moreover, this white shadow is not a pure white shadow.Her hair was disheveled and her body was covered in blood, which was shocking.He was startled at first, and shouted: "Where is the evildoer!"

Shen Chuyi didn't know that Concubine Zhu would be scared unconscious, so he went out of the yard and waited for a few people at the door.Before he could stand still, he heard someone yelling, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who were guarding the door, couldn't help shaking.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu knew that Shen Chuyi was going to pretend to be a ghost, but he didn't expect the other party to act so terrifyingly.

The two of them didn't react and leaned towards Bai Yutang.

Shen Chuyi looked at the three people in front of him, rolled his eyes, waved the needle in his hand and said, "Who is the evildoer? Believe it or not, I will sew your mouth with a needle and thread!"

Bai Yutang was taken aback.Why does this "ghost" sound so familiar?

Zhao Hu came to his senses and called out cautiously: "Little sister Shen?"

"Who isn't I?" Shen Chuyi said as he brushed the hair off his face.

The three of them took a step back, feeling that Shen Chuyi, whose hair was parted, was even more frightening.

His face was pale, and the blood stains were prominent. If you look closely, it does look a bit like Shen Chuyi.

Zhang Long patted his chest and said, "Sister Shen, are you sure Concubine Zhu wasn't scared to death by you?"

"You're still talking to me." Shen Chuyi said.

"Oh my God..." Bai Yutang looked at Shen Chuyi and clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "Shen Chuyi, why are you so overwhelmed?"

"I'm helping to investigate the case." Shen Chuyi said, "And, I really helped."

Bai Yutang sneered, and moved his gaze to behind Shen Chuyi, it was Zhan Zhao who came out.

Shen Chuyi followed suit, and when he saw Zhan Zhao, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "How is it?"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Concubine Zhu is dizzy."

"Huh?" Shen Chuyi tilted his head and said, "Didn't I be fine when I came out?"

"Don't doubt it." Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, "That's right, I fainted from your fright."

Uh……

Shen Chuyi was speechless.

The other three couldn't help laughing when they heard the conversation between the two.

"Haha, Miss Shen, Concubine Zhu was not frightened to death, but she was fainted by you." Zhang Long said.

Zhao Hu covered his mouth and said, "To be honest, Miss Shen, you are really scary when you look like this."

Bai Yutang held his stomach and said, "Shen Chuyi, have you ever looked in the mirror yourself?"

Shen Chu glared at them and said, "I'm not here to solve the case."

After saying that, she looked at Zhan Zhao, her complexion changed, she pursed her lips and said, "Master Zhan, accompany me to wash my face."

Zhan Zhao was startled at first, but then he understood, he smiled and replied: "Okay."

Watching the two leave, Zhao Hu scratched his head and asked, "Why does Miss Shen need Mrs. Zhan to accompany her when she washes her face?"

"What's even more strange is that Mr. Zhan agreed." Zhang Long said with his chin resting.

Bai Yutang opened the fan, fanned it slowly, stared at the backs of the two, and said, "Fifth Master, let me see, Younger Sister Shen is afraid that she will be frightened by her appearance when washing her face, so let Zhan Zhao accompany her to embolden her."

"Fifth Bai Lord's words are justified." Zhao Hu nodded in agreement.

Zhang Long said: "Fifth Master is very right!"

Bai Yutang smiled, and turned to stare at the backs of the two of them, his eyes gradually deepening.

Is that what he said?

I'm afraid... not at all.

Between Zhan Zhao and Shen Chuyi, I always feel that there is something different...

Concubine Zhu fainted from fright, so Bao Zheng asked two guards in the palace to watch outside the door, while he, Gongsun Ce and others went back to Concubine Liu's courtyard to discuss and sort out the case.

A few people didn't enter the house, so they put a few stools in the yard.Although there were enough stools, only Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and Shen Chuyi sat on the seats.At this time, Shen Chuyi washed his face and changed his clothes, and his appearance was already normal.

Bai Yutang bowed his hands to Bao Zheng and said, "Lord Bao, my subordinates found Xiao Shunzi, Concubine Liu's servant, outside the palace. When the other party saw me, he was flustered and slurred his speech. If there is an inside story, we will use the clues to find the murderer to deceive him, and sure enough, he admits that he is the arsenic that he gave Concubine Liu."

Bao Zheng nodded, and said, "It's the same as what Concubine Zhu said." After thinking for a while, he asked Bai Yutang, "Did Xiao Shunzi do the dismemberment?"

"The subordinate asked, but he refused to admit it." Bai Yutang said, "He also didn't say who did it."

"Where is Xiao Shunzi?" Bao Zheng asked.

"In Kaifeng Mansion." Bai Yutang said.

"Okay." Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Bai Weiwei, you did a good job."

Bai Yutang continued: "Thank you, Lord Bao, for your appreciation. This subordinate thinks that Xiao Shunzi should know the inside story, but he refuses to answer truthfully."

When Shen Chuyi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Do you want me to scare him too?"

"Cough." Bao Zheng rubbed his forehead, "Let's make a decision after the trial tomorrow."

"Yeah." Shen Chuyi nodded immediately.

Seeing Shen Chuyi's appearance, Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud.Seeing everyone looking over, he coughed lightly and said, "This subordinate is just laughing, so Miss Shen has such a hobby."

Shen Chuyi curled his lips and looked at him: "Then please Mr. Zhan take more care of you."

"nature."

Zhan Zhaohui's two words, with a relaxed tone, actually made people feel a little pampered.

Everyone present was obviously stunned by this, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce looked at each other, and they understood.Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, however, were puzzled by Zhang Er's monks and looked surprised.

Bai Yutang took a look at Zhan Zhao, and then took a deep look at Shen Chuyi. For some reason, he had already had this premonition, but it was still a bit contrary.He didn't know the reason for this disobedience, but he quickly got used to it, raised his eyebrows and began to tease Zhan Zhao: "Hey, cat, why didn't you see how much you take care of me?"

Zhan Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at him: "Fifth brother, what is Zhan not taking care of?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

"literal meaning."

Shen Chuyi originally felt sweet because of Zhan Zhao's answer, but now when he heard the two bickering, he felt as if someone had poured cold water on him.Thought he liked to make jokes about Showa and Bai Yutang, but Hyundai didn't care about it.

She rolled her eyes and brought the topic back to business.

"Concubine Zhu mentioned Father-in-Law Li Deshan, what do you think, Mr. Bao?"

Bao Zheng lowered his eyes, and his face became even darker.After a while, he replied: "If the government guessed correctly, and Li Deshan was found on this line, it will be impossible to continue the search."

"The mastermind?" Bai Yutang frowned and said, "The mastermind is an eunuch?"

"It's not the mastermind." Zhan Zhao rested his chin and said slowly, "There is someone behind Li Deshan's backstage, but we can't find this person."

"Prince Xiangyang?" Although he said he couldn't find out, Bai Yutang had already guessed it.

For a while, the courtyard fell into silence.

"Speaking of Li Deshan and King Xiangyang, they are indeed related."

Suddenly, Gongsun Ce spoke.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he continued.

"Five years ago, although the emperor pushed Xiangyang King away, Li Deshan got closer."

"The emperor thinks that Li Deshan is loyal to him, but maybe the other party has already changed his mind."

It was five years ago again!

Shen Chuyi is very curious now, what happened five years ago...

Zhan Zhao said that he would tell her when he returned to Kaifeng Mansion, so now, she should keep calm and not ask more questions.

"We will talk about the specific matters when we return to the residence tomorrow." Bao Zheng finally said, "Today, we will rest in the palace for the time being. Everyone, let's go."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he left first.Then, it was Gongsun Ce.After Zhang Long and Zhao Hu greeted several people, they also left.

All of a sudden, only Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Shen Chuyi were left in the yard.

Shen Chuyi yawned and asked, "Where should I rest?"

"There is a maid's bedroom in Concubine Liu's courtyard, and today I wronged Miss Shen to rest there for the time being." Zhan Zhao said.

Shen Chuyi waved his hand and said, "No grievance, no grievance."

After finishing speaking, she yawned again and waved to the two of them.

"I'm so sleepy, then I'll go first."

Watching Shen Chuyi leave, Zhan Zhao didn't look away until he couldn't see the other party.

As soon as he took it back, he heard Bai Yutang asking beside him.

"Zhan Zhao, are you familiar with Shen Chuyi?"

I don't know why Bai Yutang asked this question, but he still answered truthfully.

"Ah."

"Since we are familiar with each other, why do we still call him Miss Shen?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Zhan just doesn't want to be like others."

"Huh?" Bai Yutang didn't understand.

"Fifth Brother, what do you think I should be called?" Zhan Zhao asked him back.

Without even thinking about it, Bai Yutang replied, "Little sister Shen."

Zhan Zhao smiled, and lightly replied two words: "Not good."

After speaking, he turned around and waved with his back to Bai Yutang.

"Fifth brother, I'm tired, let's go ahead."

"Hey! What do you mean, cat, you haven't finished talking yet!"

Bai Yutang refused to let go, and followed him to continue asking.

"What's wrong? You think the name Shen Xiaomei is not good?"

"But everyone calls it that, what's wrong?"

"Cat, speak up!"
