The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Hearing the content of the handmaid's biography, Lu Wanzhen couldn't help but frowned.

She is very clear about whether Le Ning was involved in any murder case, after all, she has been in Zhi Zhi's body for the past few days, and she is inseparable from Le Ning.

Thinking of the way the county magistrates are now trying to resolve the case, Lu Wanzhen thought that even if Le Ning didn't have to suffer any punishment, a few days in prison would still be unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Lu Wanzhen felt a little unhappy.

but more...

She also wanted to know what kind of case this was.

Thinking up to this point, she looked at the man behind the stove with a dazed expression, who obviously hadn't realized what happened, and there was a little daze in his black eyes.

"Are you afraid?" Lu Wanzhen spread his palms flat on the stove, and when he spoke, he still had that indistinguishable tone. It's not unpleasant, but it's just unforgettable, especially...

There was always an indescribable banter in the man's speech.

Le Ning thought, I don't know if he is like this by nature, or he likes to make fun of himself.

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.

In a feudal society where imperial power is supreme, common people naturally bow their heads in front of officials. Although the spirit of justice and the rule of law have sprouted, they are ultimately hopeless. Le Ning knows that he is afraid of being implicated in an unjust case, but he is also worried that he will not be able to prove himself. innocence.

After hesitating for a while, she nodded slightly, admitting her inner fear.

"I don't know what happened yet, but I will tell the truth about my whereabouts to help Jing Zhaoyin solve the case as soon as possible. I was lucky enough to have a relationship with Jing Zhaoyin once, and now I think he must be a good official who knows everything and is considerate of the people. Return my innocence."

Speaking of this, Le Ning vaguely remembered that he had also met this high official Wangan. A long time ago, when she showed the use of peppers step by step in front of the world, her master Zou Dequan took her to meet Jing Zhaoyin , and then through the other party, he got the opportunity to enter the palace to face the saint.

Le Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the process of her raising her breath, Lu Wanzhen felt inexplicably funny. Hearing her admission of fear, he wanted to take the opportunity to appease her and seek some benefits for himself.

But more than that, when the words came to his lips, what he uttered was an echo: "Well, I believe in you."

Lu Wanzhen restrained the lazy tone in her words, and looked into her eyes carefully. No matter how you looked at the waves in her eyes, it made people feel a look of disdain, as if looking down at everyone from a high position. At this moment It changed completely again, turning into a gentleness like gurgling water, a glance submerging into the heart of the opposite person and caressing gently.

As if for emphasis, Lu Wanzhen added another sentence:

"Don't worry, you'll be fine."

I won't let anything happen to you either.

Maybe it's because the aura around this person is too strong, as soon as the words come out, there is an aura like shining gold, which makes Le Ning hear the unquestionable affirmation, as if the person in front of him can understand every word in the words Refined into reality.

No matter what, Le Ning needs this reassuring medicine right now.

She was strangely aware that she had really settled down following the other party's words, and she couldn't help feeling in her heart that the power of power is really charming.

On the face, Le Ning showed the first smile when meeting Lu Wanzhen:

"Then I will borrow a good word from Your Highness."

"If I can return safely, I will definitely cook a table of meals for Your Highness as a reward. Don't be disgusted with Your Highness."

Lu Wanzhen: "...!"

Hearing this, the standard of this meal seems to be quite high.

She has never tasted Le Ning's big boxing works. After all, most of the time, even if she is lucky enough to go to the cat's body, she may not be able to catch up with the moment when the other party is cooking a big dish. Even if she is lucky enough to see it, she may not be able to Tasted as a cat.

Therefore, after hearing this, Lu Wanzhen's mood couldn't stop soaring. Before Le Ning left, she began to look forward to her return.

……

After the people left with the yamen servant, the smile on Lu Wanzhen's face faded like a tide. She carried the bowl of wontons made by Le Ning and walked out of the courtyard. Fang stepped out of the kitchen threshold, and suddenly said:

"Shadow One."

A black figure suddenly appeared in front of her, lowered his head naturally to show his obedience, and quietly waited for her order.

"Follow Ying Jiu and Ying Ten. If necessary, let them testify for her—tell me what the big case is when you come back."

"Yes." The moment Ying Yi responded, his figure dissipated in the air like smoke, and lost his trace in the blink of an eye.

Lu Wanzhen stood in the courtyard, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her long eyelashes were like curled dead leaves, gently covering the sun, and she slowly scooped up a spoon. Spooning the soup, blowing and blowing, and when it was put into the mouth again, the tip of the tongue that was scalded before still felt a little tingling pain.

Lu Wanzhen took a deep breath, pressed the tip of her tongue against her palate back and forth, thinking thoughtfully:

Don't be too impatient...

Wang'an City, inside the government office.

Le Ning stared at Jing Zhaoyin in the courtroom in astonishment, and the content of the case file narrated by the master floated into her ears word by word, but she didn't know which sentence to be surprised by first.

Le Youcai and his wife actually died...

Not only that, but her elder brother, who didn't seek to make progress, also disappeared.

There was still a third person's blood in the yard, but that person was also missing. The Yamen is looking for her and her elder brother now, but there is no news of the eldest son of the Le family.

Le Ning thought for a while, and knew that there was an obvious suspicion now.

In addition to Le Jia's eldest son, the person who bled a lot is also one of the Yamen's suspects now. If she has any wounds on her body, then she is also suspected of committing the crime.

But there are no obvious injuries on her arms, legs, etc. for the time being, as for more, it may need to be checked by a special person.

Le Ning frowned. Jing Zhaoyin was familiar with her. Although he was quite strict in handling the case, he still showed some kindness to her. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask:

"What is Shiro hiding?"

It is true that it was a bad idea of ​​Le Youcai and his wife to let Le Ning dress up as a man in the first place, but who knows that she has a smooth journey through the magic kitchen system, and to a certain extent, she can be regarded as popular among the people.

She doesn't mind that her daughter's body is exposed, but she is worried that if she continues to study in the food in the future, she will be guilty of concealing it from her master, and will it be accepted by everyone?

Thinking that she would no longer be able to study dishes in the future, she felt a little depressed.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't know where her embarrassment came from. After all, when Le Youcai and his wife came to Wang'an for refuge, they secretly lived in his elder brother's house. Later, Zou Dequan made up for it.

Therefore, apart from Le Youcai, a couple who fell into Qian's eyes, few people really knew that she was a daughter.

Even though he lived with Le Youcai at his elder brother's house, Le Ning never appeared outside the firewood house. He was always either working or working. There is no good word for insults and insults, and it is just like this, even Le Youcai's elder brother and sister-in-law don't know her true gender.

At this time, under Jing Zhaoyin's questioning, Le Ning quickly used his brain to think of a perfect solution, but saw a yamen servant rushing from outside and whispering something in the master's ear.

Le Ning didn't care about this episode, so he calmed down and said while thinking, "To tell you the truth, I haven't heard any news about the accident between father and mother so far. It's not that Shiro is unfilial, it's really..."

Just as she was about to remove her suspicion, the master suddenly took over the conversation:

"Zhaoyin, I got some important news, I need to tell Zhaoyin first."

Le Ning couldn't help but pause.

Even Lu Zhaoyin, who was sitting tall in the yamen, was distracted and asked with an unchanged expression, "What's the news?"

The master was embarrassed for a moment, then cupped his hands to the people seated and said: "His Royal Highness ordered someone to send news that Mr. Le Lang was robbed by thieves that day, His Highness rescued him to the mansion, and then invited him to stay until now."

That is to say...

His Royal Highness can provide Le Ning with an alibi.

At the same time, the people in the yamen learned from the gangsters that Le Ning was sent to Yaohou's mansion in sacks, and they also had an answer.

Although Jing Zhaoyin couldn't figure out where the thieves came from to kidnap Mr. Lang for no reason, after all, that was the word passed down by His Royal Highness, and he had met Mr. Le Xiaolang before, and he said that he was old at the age of three. I also have a certain judgment on this person's behavior in my heart.

Therefore, Jing Zhaoyin said to Le Ning on the spot: "So that's the case. I would like to ask Silang to mourn this matter. I will seek justice for your father and mother, so as to comfort the spirits under the spring. Come—to send Mr. Le Lang out." Ya!"

Le Ning didn't say a word, and the suspicion was easily washed away. He could only rub his nose, trying hard to maintain the sad appearance of losing his parents, and walked out with the yamen servant.

As she walked, she thought:

When did I have the honor to have an intersection with the prince?

Her most complete impression of this title is that the prince tricked her into leaving sesame seeds in the palace a long time ago, at least half a year later before giving it back to him.

Le Ning chewed on the address of Master Cai just now:

"His Royal Highness..."

What kind of person is that?

Le Ning repeated it several times, but his words suddenly stopped.

and many more.

His Royal Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness? ? ?

She thought of the family she was sold to, the scarlet figure, the pair of phoenix eyes, the man's peculiar voice, the smile flowing from his eyes... and the respectful names the servants called him.

and so--

When the crown prince is secretly engaged in radical affairs? !

Le Ning was dazzled by the news.

She didn't realize that she was obediently walking in the direction of Yaohou's mansion, and she was completely immersed in the fact that His Royal Highness might be a man, and that His Royal Highness was arranged for a "male gentleman" as a happy object.

until……

Le Ning walked back to the Hou's mansion along the original road in a daze, and walked back to his courtyard unimpeded all the way, and then his attention was once again taken away by the red figure.

Lu Wanzhen first looked her up and down, then raised his hand pretending to make a fist, pressed it against his lips, and coughed lightly.

It seems that someone is no big deal.

So--

I don't know if someone still remembers to promise her a big meal?

Le Ning heard Lu Wanzhen's movement, stopped and stood there, pursed his lips before saying to Lu Wanzhen: "Your Highness..."

Lu Wanzhen responded and asked her, "Are you back?"

Le Ning nodded, then remembered to thank him, and said again: "Yes, thanks to His Royal Highness, Jing Zhaoyin did not make things difficult for me."

Oh, this is knowing his identity, Lu Wanzhen thought.

But why doesn't this person look happy at all?

Lu Wanzhen intuitively felt that this matter was probably related to the content of the case.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was silent for a long time, Le Ning was still in a daze, and cupped his hands at Lu Wanzhen: "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, Cao Min will step back first."

Le Ning is now in a state of disarray.

For a while, I thought that the skinny couple died just like that. For a while, I thought that I had inexplicably used an unsound husband and wife title with the prince. Sometimes I even wondered why the dignified prince was outside the palace, and it seemed that he was murdered. the way it was...

There were so many things that she couldn't even straighten them out. She pulled one thread and another thread, and couldn't pull out either end.

Le Ning decided to calm down.

Seeing her leaving just like that, Lu Wanzhen who was left in the yard looked astonished.

From birth to now, this man is the only one who dares to tease her!

When I was a cat, I often lied to myself, but now that I am the Prince of Da Li, I have been released as a pigeon?

Lu Wanzhen was more shocked than angry.

Seeing that Le Ning's figure was completely covered by the corner of the wall, Lu Wanzhen was so angry that she opened her mouth and shouted angrily:

"Shadow One!"

She wanted to find out what was going on, which would make Le Ning lose the desire to cook for herself.

Yingyi appeared in front of Lu Wanzhen, and recounted the things in the yamen to her word by word.

Lu Wanzhen's expression gradually changed from angry at first to complicated.

It turned out that something happened to Le Ning's parents...

Lu Wanzhen was a little lost in thought, and it took him a while to put away the emotions on his face, and said to the shadow: "The eldest son of the Le family has not been found yet, and the third person in the courtyard is also helping to find out, since he has no fate with Jing Zhaoyin. If you want someone, you can always make up for it.”

After Yingyi received the mission and disappeared, Lu Wanzhen turned around and walked towards Le Ning's direction. Halfway there, he suddenly felt inappropriate again.

So she walked halfway, and went back to her room by detour.

Not long after, a small gray-white ball came out of the bamboo tower in the corner. Lu Wanzhen wiped his ears, watched himself slowly sitting up in the bed, and called out to the person: "Meow~"

It's so strange, since the last time she ate that pill and the cat fell into a coma due to her exhaustion, she faintly felt that the connection between herself and Sesame had actually deepened...

Try it today, as expected, as long as you think about entering Zhima's body after falling asleep, you can achieve the exchange of souls.

Hearing the cat's cry, the "Lu Wanzhen" on the bed blinked slowly, and also let out a voice from his throat: "Meow~"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wanzhen jumped out of the window two or three times, and Sesame, who temporarily occupied her body on the bed, closed her eyes again to take a nap.

……

Le Ning walked around the yard before realizing that he didn't have an exclusive space in this place.

She walked around for a long time, but still walked into the kitchen.

Now that it's past lunch time, the outside room is only guarded by the chef who specializes in making dim sum, plus a few apprentices. When he saw her, he asked him in a friendly manner:

"Are you making some food for His Highness again? Please ask us if you need us."

It was only then that Le Ning remembered that he seemed to have promised someone something delicious in return.

But right now, I'm not in a good mood.

After walking around the kitchen, Le Ning started kneading the dough again in dismay, preparing to make biangbiang noodles. In the era when the people in Dali generally liked to eat, I thought that the noodles as thick as a belt could also be good for others. accepted.

However, she rubbed it, and suddenly remembered what happened before time travel.

Those thoughts that I deliberately didn't think about in the past, but only popped up occasionally in my dreams, after hearing the death of Le Youcai, the pickpocket couple, suddenly came rushing up like a dike.

Le Ning found that his eye sockets were a little fuzzy.

A liquid dripped onto the dough, dyeing that part into yellowing flowers.

She didn't care to get it down.

Le Ning wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, stopped, and took several deep breaths on the spot, but the more he thought about it, the more sad he became.

I have been away from that world for so long, are my parents getting old too?

How will they leave this world?

Is it pain?Still peaceful?

They must miss themselves.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a gentle and slender voice sounded in front of her.

Le Ning followed the trend and saw the kitten jumping onto the stove. The cat was biting a small piece of wood, and it seemed to be strung with four or five crystal-clear hawthorns. The red icing on the outside was clearly visible——

Candied haws!

The kitten stepped on the falling snow-white flour, leaving lovely plum blossom marks, and walked all the way to Le Ning's side, then looked up at her, beckoning her to quickly take the bunch of candied haws in her mouth .

Le Ning stretched out his hand in a daze, and took the bunch of candied haws.

"Meow~" the little cat raised its head and called to her again.

As if to say:

Don't be sad, I invite you to eat candy.

Le Ning looked at the bunch of candied haws, slowly put it to his lips, and opened his mouth to bite it off.

The sweet taste is spreading on the tip of the tongue, but the teeth have already broken through the sugar coating on the surface, straightly turning the sour taste inside, the broken sugar cubes and hawthorn are rolled on the tip of the tongue, stirring out the fruit acid and sweet sugar A blend of flavours.

"It's so sour, sesame." Le Ning said as he put down the candied haws.

Lu Wanzhen was surprised for a moment, hesitated for a while, leaned over and stuck out her tongue, and licked the half of the hawthorn that Le Ning had bitten, then she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Le Ning laughed amused by her, but her eyes became much moister. She hugged the cat into her arms, and said again: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just... I feel a little homesick."

Lu Wanzhen turned his head to look at her, his vertical pupils showing no emotion.

She knew that Le Ning was sold to the Hou's mansion by her parents.

But no matter what, Le Ning has no home now.

For no reason, Lu Wanzhen remembered his own life experience.

Born in Yaohou's mansion when she was young, Grandpa didn't care about her, A Niang wanted to send her to exchange for a rich future, and later went to Duke Lu's mansion, it was very good, no matter how good it was...it wasn't her home.

Later, when she entered the palace and stayed by the empress's side, Lu Yining and Zhou Yuanhua also treated her very well, which made her sometimes think how wonderful it would be if she was really their child.

Too bad...she wasn't either.

at this moment--

Lu Wanzhen felt the dampness of the fur on his body, and felt a little pity for Le Ning.

It was strange that she could understand the other party's longing, which was the longing for the most perfect home that she yearned for in her heart.

Lu Wanzhen quietly let her hold her, thought for a while, raised her fluffy paw and patted Le Ning's shoulder lightly, as if coaxing her:

If you are sad, just cry out, I will be here with you.
