Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]
Work related
Afterwards, the servant went in to see him, he was already asleep, and the servant left..."
Hearing the eunuch mention that Ling Jue had been to the imperial tent, Ling Qiyou frowned even tighter, apparently remembering what was going on in the imperial tent at that time, the clown and a few guarded Ling Qiyou at night. The eunuch hurriedly replied that he had never seen King Luo, and Xiao Chuqian, who followed Ling Qiyou and stood in an inconspicuous place behind the crowd, suddenly remembered the strange sound he heard when he was in a turmoil. Could it be Ling Jue?
Looking up again, he saw Ling Jing who was coming lately and Shen Lexin who was following him, Xiao Chuqian looked at him, and his mind sank involuntarily.
When the eunuch kneeling on the ground saw Shen Lexin who was following Ling Jing, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at him tremblingly: "It was him. When His Highness came back, the servant saw him sneaking around. Then, after standing outside the tent for a long time, the servant felt strange at that time, the servant recognized him..."
At that moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lexin, but he said disapprovingly: "What does it have to do with me?"
******before that******
With the sound of silk tearing, Xiao Chuqian's front breasts were completely ripped open. Ling Qiyou squinted his drunken eyes, curled up in his arms, and licked him with his tongue. He was already naked. The chest that came out, the nipples that had been completely hard and erect, was licked by him like this, Xiao Chuqian felt like a fire gathered in his lower abdomen that was about to ignite him, and the proud part instantly swelled up, clinging to his chest. Ling Qiyou's thigh showed a sense of presence.
"Um……"
While panting, Ling Qiyou's mouth overflowed with ambiguous groans, and his hands followed his lips and tongue to move around on his muscular chest, his posture was like a coquettish cat, Xiao Chuqian couldn't bear to hold his waist At the back of her neck, she pulled him up, and kissed his lips that were already extremely red and glowing with water.
Rubbing each other eagerly, the familiar breath instantly filled his mouth and nose, it was Xiao Chuqian's smell, Ling Qiyou felt his body was getting hotter, and the lower body that had already raised his head rubbed against Xiao Chuqian's lower abdomen non-stop Nong, the dense acupuncture points opened and closed with a strong desire to chase after the fingers he kept opening up for himself, but he felt that nothing was enough. The strong sense of emptiness and itching in his body was like being eaten by thousands of insects and ants. It ran straight from the upper back to the limbs and bones.
The place where his fingers were wrapped by his tight tunnel kept wriggling and sucking, just this made Xiao Chuqian's already swollen to the limit harder, and Ling Qiyou's feet were wrapped around his waist , clasped his back tightly with both hands, raised his body, panting and urging him impatiently: "Hurry up...in..."
Xiao Chuqian couldn't bear it anymore, he took out his finger, put on something that was already swollen to the point where his veins burst out, and pressed against his creased acupuncture point that was constantly opening and closing, and sent it forward abruptly, directly rushing to the deepest point.
"what--"
Ling Qiyou couldn't help crying out with the feeling of being completely possessed instantly, and his lips were blocked immediately, the tight and ecstasy succulent flesh actively entangled him, the wet, hot and slippery tunnel was wrapped in a huge body, Xiao Chuqian was lightly refreshed With a snort, he panted heavily and quickly pumped and inserted.
The body was opened to the limit, it was so exciting that even the toes were trembling, and the intense pleasure that made the back numb rushed from the soles of the feet to the forehead. Ling Qiyou's lips could hardly close together, and he could only moan and pant non-stop. Then, the fire in his body burned more and more with Xiao Chuqian's movements, and it was about to burn him out.
While his body was ups and downs, sweat was intertwined and dripping, Xiao Chuqian was like a wild beast, desperately plundering every part of the body of the person below him, Ling Qiyou was so emotional that he clung to him tightly, hooked his neck, from His lips touched his side face, kissed the place where he had slapped him just now, stuck out his tongue and licked and kissed again, like the most intimate caress.
Xiao Chuqian was very satisfied with his unexpected behavior, picked him up by the waist, changed his up and down posture amidst Ling Qiyou's exclamation, let him sit on his body, looked at his lustful eyes and With eager desire in his eyes, he smiled and patted his upturned buttocks, and pressed his ears to bewitch him: "Hey, move yourself~"
"asshole……"
Ling Qiyou hummed, but the hotness and emptiness in his body made him obediently swing his waist, sitting on Xiao Chuqian's body, he took the initiative to swallow his fiery dragon, and sat down hard to the end.
Ling Qiyou's strength is not strong, coupled with too much stimulation, his body has already softened after a few strokes, and his movements have slowed down. He just wriggled his body and rubbed the huge body in his body, gasping for breath with his mouth open, a pair of eyes Shrouded by the deepest lust, he couldn't find the focus at all, but he didn't seem to be satisfied, his breathing was still mixed with an unbearable muffled sound, and Xiao Chuqian was almost driven crazy by his unreasonable teasing, that thing The son was about to explode, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and pressed the person down again, raised his feet to his arms, and once again speeded up and violently entered and exited his body.
For a moment, the obscene sound of the two people's physical contact was endless, and the air was filled with erotic breath.
When Ling Qiyou finally reached the limit, he vented his body trembling and screaming, the sticky whiteness made Xiao Chuqian's lower abdomen a mess, he couldn't hold on any longer, and pumped fiercely again dozens of times, the fiery The hard object was sent to the deepest part of his body, and he vented it all out.
The hot semen hit the intestinal wall so hot that Ling Qiyou felt that his whole body was going to melt away, and all the groans that overflowed his mouth were swallowed by the person who was pressing him down. Sobbing and sobbing, the tears that were forced out during the extreme orgasm were all over her face.
Xiao Chuqian didn't withdraw from his body. After venting, he felt his emotions calm down a bit, and pumped slowly but uninterruptedly. When he got up, the place where he ejaculated just once showed no sign of softening at all, and he became excited again after a few strokes. The ground swelled and stood upright.
"Um... um..."
Ling Qiyou groaned, and was held by Xiao Chuqian in a position where his body was connected and turned over, becoming a back-in-the-back position. Xiao Chuqian pressed his tongue, and licked his sweaty back lightly with the tip of his tongue, causing his lower body to climax. Ling Qiyou's whole body trembling, the lingering charm had not dissipated, and the moans that were almost charming to the bones also changed their tone again.
Pulling him up by the waist, he was kneeling on the bed. Xiao Chuqian straightened up, and was about to show off his glory again, but suddenly heard a strange snorting sound coming from the tent beside him. Seeing that he was not moving, Qi You twisted his waist impatiently and urged him.
"It's just a wild cat..."
Xiao Chuqian muttered in a low voice, as if a stray cat was passing by, he stopped for a moment, and then began to move his body, and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to this fierce love and death.
☆、27 Suspect
As soon as Shen Lexin's words came out, no one answered, but everyone looked at him suspiciously. Ling Jing pulled his sleeve without any trace, and explained to Ling Qiyou helplessly: "He has been with me all night. Together, there's no way he did it..."
"The servant really saw him, and the servant remembers it very clearly!" The wife listened to Ling Jing's words, and quickly intervened to argue.
Ling Qiyou looked at Shen Lexin coldly, as if he wanted to see through the probing intent in his eyes, but Shen Lexin had an indifferent attitude, with a smile on his lips, obviously very happy to see Ling Qiyou meet him trouble.
After a long time, Ling Qiyou finally opened his mouth slowly and asked him: "Did you come out at Zishi?"
"Yes, I came out to get up at night, and when I walked out the door, I saw King Luo avoiding the patrolling guards and sneaking towards His Majesty's tent. I saw him cut open the tent cloth with a knife and look inside, and after a short while, another The deputy ran away in fright with the expression of seeing a ghost, and for a moment she was curious and wanted to see what happened, but in the end she saw..." Shen Lexin laughed while talking, her eyes were full of jokes, and she paused halfway through the sentence , deliberately prolonging the voice to tantalize people's appetite, seeing Ling Qiyou's eyes showing murderous intent, Ling Jing hurriedly pulled his sleeve again, he curled his lips indistinctly, and changed his words: "Later, I saw King Luo running away. After going back, I followed him to his tent, originally I wanted to tell him what I saw in the imperial tent, but thinking of what King Xuan said, I can’t cause trouble for His Majesty, so I had to forget it and go back.”
Ling Jing felt a little headache listening to Shen Lexin's provocative words in public at this moment, but Ling Qiyou pretended that he didn't hear his nonsense, and turned his eyes to the officers and soldiers beside him, except for the guards in charge of patrolling the forbidden palace. Around the garrison, soldiers and horses from the northern and southern barracks who were supposed to participate in the inspection today were on duty in rotation. A small soldier suddenly said, "I have seen him too. At that time, I came back from my shift to rest. It was about three quarters in the morning. I saw He acted suspiciously, came from the direction of King Luo's tent, and quickly went back to King Xuan's tent, but the night watchman outside King Xuan's tent didn't stop him, so I didn't go up to ask him."
"Third quarter?" Ling Qiyou repeated slowly, and asked Shen Lexin again: "From less than midnight to three quarters, you just woke up at night, and you have to stay outside for more than three quarters of an hour?"
"My stomach hurts after eating something bad." Shen Lexin replied calmly.
The imperial physician who was examining Ling Jue's body whispered to Ling Qiyou, "Your Majesty, the time of Luo Wang's death should be between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-], and the fatal injury was the knife wound on his neck."
Hearing this, Ling Qiyou looked at Shen Lexin with a colder look. After asking around like this, no one except Shen Lexin, whether it was the officers and soldiers on duty or the guards on patrol, saw any other suspicious persons, only him One, the timing is just right, it is really difficult for people not to doubt it.
Lin Qin, the current commander-in-chief of the Beijing North Camp, who originally followed Xu Chongqing and helped Ling Qiyou take down Xiao's party during the palace change that day, reminded Ling Qiyou in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person is a serious suspect. Take it down, put it in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then torture and interrogate it."
Ling Qiyou glanced at him, this Lin Tan is Xu Chongqing's most loyal cronies, and the suspect Shen Lexin is a member of King Xuan, so he is naturally rushing to persuade him to take Shen Lexin down. Shang Shu, the previous assassination incident, the Ministry of Criminal Investigations checked and found out, but now if Shen Lexin is thrown to them, what will be the result of the trial, then it will be Xu Chongqing alone, so he ignored this Lin Qin Proposed, raised his jaw at Ling Jing, and asked him: "What does King Xuan think?"
Ling Jing glanced at Shen Lexin, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "He is my bodyguard, I believe the matter has nothing to do with him."
"It's useless to believe King Guangxuan alone. This person is the most suspicious person now. If you want me to be convinced, you have to show some solid evidence." Before Ling Qiyou could speak, Lin Tan choked back.
"You don't have any solid evidence to prove that I did it." Shen Lexin sneered disapprovingly: "Just because I appeared in this place at that time, it is too far-fetched to say that I killed King Luo."
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you, those dancers who assassinated His Majesty last time were King Xuan..."
"That's enough, shut up," Ling Qiyou scolded him, and then said to Ling Jing: "You guard me closely, when I want to summon him for questioning, you have to let him come whenever you want. "
At least he didn't drag him down now, Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took his life, and dragged Shen Lexin, who was still a little bit aggrieved, away.
Even if the others were dissatisfied with Ling Qiyou's treatment, they couldn't say anything. Afterwards, he ordered someone to take Ling Jue's body with him, and ordered him to leave for Beijing ahead of schedule after dawn.
Shen Lexin, who was dragged back to the tent, shook off Ling Jing's hand that was holding her wrist, and said angrily: "It has nothing to do with me, it's useless for you to stare at me."
"It's not you?"
"How many times do you want me to say it?! I have nothing to do to Ling Jue?! Killing him can provoke the relationship between the emperor and other princes?! Will you let me do this?! What's the point of killing him? ?!"
Ling Jing stared into his eyes for a while, sighed helplessly, sat down beside him, helped him knead the wrist that was red from being dragged just now, and asked him in a soft voice: "You took advantage of me in the middle of the night What did you do when you fell asleep and ran out? How long have you been there?"
Shen Lexin rolled her eyes with a little guilty conscience: "If I say it, I will wake up at night..."
"to be frank."
"... here you are," Shen Lexin took out the things in her sleeves and threw them on him, complaining uncontrollably: "In order to steal this for you, why don't you think I'm willing to go outside to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night? It turned out to be for no reason. The murder suspect has been found, look at the posture of those people outside, and the little emperor, they have decided that I did it."
Ling Jing took the thing he threw in his hands, and laughed. It was a jade brush used by a famous person from the previous dynasty that he bought at the antique market in Beijing a few days ago. Later, Qi Wang Lingchen saw it, and he was ashamed. I asked for it, Shen Lexin knew that she also likes to collect these gadgets, so she specifically looked for an opportunity to steal them back for him.
Ling Jing hugged him tightly, kissed his neck as white as jade, and asked him: "Then what did you see in the imperial tent?"
"What else can it be?" Shen Lexin snorted, "Your eldest nephew was rolled over and over by that eunuch..."
Ling Jing was even happier when she heard the words: "That's it?"
"Ling Jue guessed that he was not convinced after losing the competition in the afternoon, and wanted to steal the little emperor's golden saddle, but when he saw this, he ran away in fright. He originally wanted him to make trouble for the little emperor." As Shen Lexin said, she curled her lips again: "Later, I thought that the surname Xiao's thick skin would make people laugh when they knew that he had an affair with the little emperor. I didn't expect that Ling Jue was killed."
Speaking of Ling Jue's death, Ling Jing felt a little unhappy. Although he had no relationship with Ling Jue, he was his brother after all, and Shen Lexin became a suspect now. It made him very unhappy. After thinking about it, He didn't have a clue for a while, so he kissed Shen Lexin's face again, and reminded him: "Be quiet these few days, you didn't do it, and I won't let people wrong you."
******
When Xiao Chuqian entered the door, Ling Qiyou was teasing the little steamed bun absently in his arms. The things were almost packed, and the sky outside was about to dawn. In less than half an hour, they were going back to the palace. go.
Ling Qiyou looked up at him and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
"Go and wash up..." Xiao Chuqian answered him casually, naturally he wouldn't say that Ling Jing sent someone to reassure him that the matter had nothing to do with Shen Lexin, and also asked him to mediate in front of Ling Qiyou, Ling Jing said so According to Xiao Chuqian's understanding of him, he actually believed it, but looking at Ling Qiyou's suspicious and hostile eyes in front of him, he really felt that if he wanted to mediate, Ling Qiyou had to be able to listen to it. ...: "What do you... think about this matter?"
Ling Qiyou's tone was very cold: "This is something that you, an eunuch, should take care of?"
See, that's the attitude.
Regardless of whether he listened or not, Xiao Chuqian said to himself: "If the people of King Xuan did it, it doesn't make any sense at all. What good would it do for him to kill King Luo? Instead, it's up to Your Majesty to convict him and cut down the clan." The reason, and King Xuan and King Luo have never had any grudges..."
"What if Shen Lexin did it himself?" Ling Qiyou didn't think so: "I see that he never put King Xuan in his eyes at all, so he might not listen to King Xuan that much."
Xiao Chuqian sighed softly. Although Shen Lexin was a bit tricky, she really had all eyes on King Xuan. She regarded King Xuan as the person on top of her heart, but the little emperor never paid attention to him.
...the gap is too big.
"Maybe it's Uncle Xu, it was him last time..."
"Enough," Ling Qiyou interrupted him impatiently: "Who did the thing, I will investigate, and I will say it again, it has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Chuqian shook his head, and stopped talking about offending him. He knew that if Uncle Xu really did what he did, it would definitely be the last thing Ling Qiyou wanted to see. At that time, the vassal kings from all over the world would definitely rise up and attack to persecute him. Ling Qiyou gave them an explanation for disposing of Uncle Xu, but it is definitely not an easy matter to deal with Uncle Xu, this is the real trouble.
Going forward and taking the little steamed bun from his hand, Xiao Chuqian reminded him with a smile: "Your Majesty, you should change your clothes. When the sky dawns, everyone will see it."
When he was talking, his eyes kept falling on Ling Qiyou's neck. Ling Qiyou subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his neck, and immediately understood the meaning of his words. He just went out in a hurry and changed his clothes casually. He forgot that he was covered with traces left by the culprit in front of him. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the murder case and it was dark so no one saw it.
"You go out." Trying to control the anger that was about to burst out, Ling Qiyou spit out these three words in a tone as gentle as possible but gritted his teeth.
The smile in Xiao Chuqian's eyes grew stronger, and he stopped teasing him, and went out of the tent to wait while holding the little steamed bun.
☆、28 Evidence
Because of the sudden murder case, the hunting activities were suspended, and Ling Qiyou led the crowd back to Beijing at dawn that day. Ling Jing and the others still lived in the Li Palace on the west side, and Ling Qiyou sent more people to watch over them. He went out, and in the afternoon, just when he was having a headache about how to deal with this matter, without accident, Xu Chongqing came to the door.
Because of Xiao Chuqian's prank before, Xu Chongqing lay at home for a few days with red rashes on his hands and arms. What happened above the paddock.
Before he opened his mouth, Ling Qiyou first said: "I have already ordered Zongzheng Temple to investigate the murder of the eleventh emperor's uncle. Uncle is not feeling well, so there is no need to worry about it."
"Weichen is fine," Xu Chongqing said, "this is a serious matter, I'm afraid it's difficult to investigate clearly with Zongzheng Temple alone, or let the Criminal Department work together to arrest the murderer first and interrogate him..."
"No need," Ling Qiyou interrupted him, and said, "Since I have already ordered Zongzheng Temple to investigate, there is no need for the Ministry of Punishment to intervene, and the guard next to King Xuan has no evidence or physical evidence to confirm it." It doesn't seem appropriate to identify the person who committed the murder just by matching the timing of his appearance, and I don't think King Xuan has any reason to attack King Luo."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Chongqing raised his voice a little bit, and persuaded angrily: "I know that you are worried about King Xuan's power in Jiangdong, and I am afraid that he will have rebellious thoughts because of this matter, but if the matter is really caused by King Xuan Yes, you are just tearing up the face with King Xuan. If you help him get rid of the crime, then the other vassal lords who are ready to move will think that you want to cut the hand of the vassal and attack him. By that time There is no way to clean it up!"
Although Xu Chongqing's words are a bit alarmist, they are somewhat reasonable. Ling Qiyou naturally knows the current situation, but if the matter is really not caused by someone sent by Ling Jing, even if he falls on Ling Jing if there is no definite evidence, it will be fine. It may not be able to convince the other vassal kings. When they think that he killed Luo Wang first and then planted Xuan Wang, it will be even more troublesome. Xu Chongqing must also know the depth of this, but his current purpose is obviously just to confuse It's just that he and Ling Jing are facing each other.
After Xu Chongqing finished speaking, before Ling Qiyou could speak again, the clown rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside that the minister of punishment has brought dozens of people to the Li Palace, and he is going to forcibly take away the guard surnamed Shen. There was almost a conflict, and in the end King Xuan followed them, and they were taken into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Also, King Qi sent people several times to ask how King Luo died. Hundreds of soldiers left by King Luo outside the city are gathered outside the city right now, and I want you to give them an explanation for King Luo's death."
Ling Qiyou glanced coldly at Xu Chongqing, and asked displeasedly, "You sent someone there?"
Xu Chongqing lowered his head, and replied calmly: "The minister is just doing business."
What a business!Ling Qiyou sneered, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Bring King Xuan and the guard beside him into the palace, go now!"
"No," Xu Chongqing flatly refused without even thinking about it: "This matter will help His Majesty to find out the matter, and please Your Majesty..."
"What? Is it okay if I want to interrogate the suspect myself? Do I need my uncle's approval for what I want to do?"
"I don't dare," Xu Chongqing said, hesitating for a moment, and finally gave in: "I will send someone to escort them into the palace."
After Xu Chongqing left, Ling Qiyou sent someone to appease King Qi and the soldiers and horses of King Luo outside the city, to make them calm down, and promised to find out the truth within ten days and give them an explanation. Waving people back down.
In the royal garden.
Sitting by the pool, Xiao Chuqian was fishing for goldfish for the little steamed bun who was rarely bubbling in the hands of the nanny, and turned around to tease him from time to time. The little steamed bun seemed very happy, with a pair of round eyes wide open, mouth Babbling and making unidentified noises, clapping hands, laughing and screaming.
Ling Qiyou had to deal with court affairs and summoned officials, so Xiao Chuqian, who was not welcome, was naturally kicked out, but he didn't care, he was staying in the imperial garden at the moment, the spring sun was just right, and he was comfortable on the contrary.
Behind the rockery not far away, there was a figure poking his head. It seemed that he was thinking about coming and hesitant. Xiao Chuqian raised his eyes and glanced twice, and said lazily: "Little Eunuch Shitou, you are so shameful. What corner do you want to hear from behind the rockery?" ?”
It was the eunuch Xiao Shitou who was in charge of guarding him and delivering meals to him when he was locked in the dungeon and walked out resentfully from behind the rockery.
Squatting down beside Xiao Chuqian, Xiao Shitou sized him up and said with a little resentment: "You are destined to die, and you will have a bright future by following His Majesty and serving His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Xiao Chuqian laughed: "What? Little Eunuch Shitou is still guarding the dungeon? Is there anyone else there?"
"There will be no one left after you leave," Xiao Shitou said with a bitter face again: "I was sent to the stable to change the feed for those animals."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuqian patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, but Xiaoshi suddenly grabbed his sleeve and begged him pitifully: "Xiao Chuzi, for the sake of the fact that I treated you well in the past few months, Go and talk to His Majesty, can you give me a better job?"
The corners of Xiao Chuqian's mouth twitched slightly: "How can I speak in front of His Majesty..."
Xiao Shitou obviously didn't believe his words: "You are the personal servant of His Highness the Crown Prince, if His Majesty entrusts His Highness the Crown Prince to you, that means trusting you, you, why can't you say anything? Even if you don't tell His Majesty, you can tell the ugly eunuch , he will definitely give you this face."
"...You think too much, the ugly eunuch won't give me this face."
Xiao Shitou thought that he was trying to shirk and didn't want to help, so he was angry and annoyed for a moment, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and stuffed something from his sleeve into his hand: "Do me a favor, Mr. Chuzi, I really don't want to be here Where does the stable stay with those beasts all day long..."
Xiao Chuqian saw that this little stone was actually stuffed with a heavy golden whistle as a bribe for himself, but he was amused, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, take it and do me this favor. I will be grateful to you in the future." When he said this, Xiao Shitou's eyes drifted away, and his tone sounded a little guilty.
Xiao Chuqian didn't take it seriously: "This thing is expensive, right? Where did you, a father-in-law who works as a handyman, get it from? Little Shitou, I wouldn't dare to accept something of unknown origin from you..."
Hearing this, Xiao Shitou was furious, he didn't dare to take him and he was reluctant to give it away, if he didn't know that the white wolf couldn't live with empty gloves, he wouldn't have come to make this idea, but now facing Xiao Chuqian's suspicious eyes , hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and told the truth: "I picked it up at the resident last night."
Xiao Chuqian was a little surprised when he heard the words, and his tone became serious: "Last night? You also went to the paddock yesterday?"
Little Stone nodded: "Look at the stables."
"When? Where did you pick it up?"
"It's just after midnight. Someone else came to replace me. I went back to rest. Just outside Luo Wang's tent, I saw a masked man in black coming out of Luo Wang's tent and quickly disappeared. After I left, I walked over and picked it up when I saw it fell on the ground, and I didn’t dare to cause trouble, so I left too.”
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Xiao Shitou muttered in a low voice: "I didn't see what that person looked like, no matter what I said, it would cause trouble..."
Then he quickly reminded Xiao Chuqian: "Don't tell others about the origin of this whistle, I..."
"What else did you see?"
"...No, there was only one man in black, about eight feet tall, and it was very dark at that time, so he couldn't see his face at all. He walked very fast, and disappeared in an instant."
"I'm going to tell His Majesty right now." Xiao Chuqian stood up, seeing Xiao Shitou's expression suddenly changed, so he smiled at him and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you. After you want to change errands I'll help you get it done."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Little Shitou to say more, he took the little mantou who was still enjoying himself from the nanny's hand, and went back to Zhaode Hall.
And at this moment, in Zhaode Hall, Ling Qiyou was interrogating Ling Jing and Shen Lexin who were brought by Xu Chongqing. He didn't go around too much, and asked Shen Lexin directly: "I will ask you again, Luo Wang Does his death have anything to do with you?"
Shen Lexin snorted lightly, and said disapprovingly: "If there is evidence, His Majesty can kill me directly. If there is no evidence, if you insist on relying on me, then don't blame the world for thinking that His Majesty killed King Luo first and then framed King Xuan."
"Presumptuous!" Xu Chongqing on the side shouted loudly: "You are so courageous! How dare you talk to Your Majesty like that!"
Shen Lexin was even more dismissive of him, Ling Jing squeezed his hand hard, signaled him to shut up, and then replied for him: "It is true that he didn't do it, and he said that when he came back, , Near Luo Wang’s tent, I saw a figure flashing past, but it was too dark at that time, so I only saw the back.”
Hearing this, Ling Qiyou frowned slightly, and asked Shen Lexin: "Why didn't you say this in the paddock this morning?"
Shen Lexin asked him back: "Did Your Majesty give me a chance to say it? At that time, it wasn't that His Majesty and His ministers all acted as if they believed that I had killed someone. Didn't they be so aggressive that they almost convicted me?"
After Shen Lexin finished speaking, before Ling Qiyou could speak, Xiao Chuqian had already entered the door without permission, and walked directly in front of Ling Qiyou with a gloomy face, and handed him the whistle that Xiao Shitou gave him: "Look at it last night. The eunuch in the stables picked it up outside King Luo's tent. He said that he saw a man in black about eight feet tall coming out of King Luo's tent, but it was too dark, and the man covered his face again, so he couldn't see clearly. What's it like?"
Ling Qiyou was a little surprised when he heard the words, his eyes fell on the golden whistle he raised in front of him, and when he raised his eyes again, he didn't miss the flash of astonishment that flashed in Shen Lexin's eyes when he saw the whistle in front of him.
At that moment, Ling Qiyou turned his eyes cold and asked him: "Do you know this thing?"
☆、29·Recidivism
"You know this thing?"
The surprise was just the moment when she saw the things in Xiao Chuqian's hands, Shen Lexin quickly regained her composure, and denied it categorically: "I don't know."
He was lying, Ling Qiyou saw through it at a glance, he recognized this thing, but it didn't matter, took the golden whistle from Xiao Chuqian's hand and carefully looked at the pattern engraved on it that resembled some kind of symbolic sign, Ling Qiyou thought It shouldn't be difficult to find out the history of this thing, after all, there are clues.
Xu Chongqing wanted to say something more, but Ling Qiyou didn't give him a chance to speak, and said directly: "Uncle, since I have ordered Zongzheng Temple to investigate this matter, you should stop interfering, and the Criminal Department has to deal with it every day. There are many large and small cases, so don't waste any more manpower, you go down first."
"But Your Majesty..."
"Uncle, let's go down first."
Seeing Ling Qiyou's resolute attitude, Xu Chongqing knew that it was useless to talk too much, so she gritted her teeth and finally retreated.
Ling Qiyou glanced at Ling Jing and Shen Lexin, paused, hesitated for a moment, and ordered someone to detain them together: "Temporarily detain them in Qitai Hall, and don't step on them until the matter is clarified." Take a step out of Qitai Hall."
The Qitai Hall is just behind the Zhaode Hall. It is a place for the emperor to offer sacrifices. It is usually uninhabited. Ling Qiyou threw Ling Jing there. It is indeed much better than the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Xiao Chuqian on the side couldn't help but chuckled lightly.
Ling Qiyou glanced at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Your Majesty arranged for King Xuan and the others to live in the palace. Could it be that he was worried that His Majesty Guojiu would attack them regardless?"
Ling Qiyou snorted softly, if they were handed over to Xu Chongqing, Xu Chongqing would not dare to attack Ling Jing directly, but it would most likely kill Shen Lexin and provoke Ling Jing to completely confront him, even though he had no one in his eyes and had a heart for this The unruly Shen Lexin really didn't like it, but she didn't want to just tear up her face with Ling Jing like Xu Chongqing's wish.
"This whistle? Where did it come from?"
Xiao Chuqian recounted what happened to the little stone in the imperial garden just now, and finally said: "Your Majesty, how about selling a slave to give him a favor?"
Ling Qiyou asked him coldly: "Why did I sell your favor?"
Xiao Chuqian tapped his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Before you competed with King Luo, it was only with the help of your servants that you were able to win against him..."
Mentioning King Luo, the look in Ling Qiyou's eyes darkened a bit, and he interrupted him coldly: "Sure, send him to Zhaode Palace to serve the prince with you."
Xiao Chuqian quickly smiled and thanked him.
After being imprisoned in Qitai Hall, Ling Jing saw that Shen Lexin was frowning absent-mindedly and shook his hand lightly, asking him, "Have you seen that golden whistle? Where did it come from?"
Shen Lexin raised her eyes to look at him, and said helplessly: "It's Yuwen Minhao, and the group of dead guards he raised used that kind of golden whistle as their identity."
Ling Jing was very surprised when she heard this, is it related to the Nanman Kingdom?
Yuwen is the surname of the Nanman Kingdom. This Yuwen Minhao is the second prince of the Nanman Kingdom, and he is also the most powerful contender for the throne. The old emperor of the Nanman Kingdom has three sons. The eldest prince died more than ten years ago. In the past two years, as the old emperor Yuwen was seriously ill, he was getting worse day by day, fighting for power constantly, under the civil strife, and seven years ago, he was defeated by the Dacheng Dynasty and lost twelve cities. Except for the small group of guerrilla forces on the border, it has really been a long time since they committed a crime against the Dacheng Dynasty, so Ling Jing was really surprised to hear that the assassin who killed King Luo was sent by Yuwen Minhao.
Immediately, he was a little worried again, held Shen Lexin's hand tightly, and persuaded: "Stop competing with the emperor, if you are involved in this matter, you will be in trouble, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you at that time."
After a moment of silence, Shen Lexin withdrew her hand, turned her eyes away, not letting Ling Jing see the flash of hatred in her eyes.
As Ling Qiyou expected, Zongzheng Temple found out the origin of this golden whistle within a few days, and before that, he had already known where this thing came from from his hidden guards.
Sure enough, it is inseparable from the Nanman Kingdom, and the people who went to the paddock that day, except for the emperor's relatives, were all officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court. If the assassins from other countries who sneaked in were only among the guards and guards, it would be easy to say, but if they were among these Inside the humerus of the imperial court, that is a big problem.
Thinking of these, Ling Qiyou had a headache.
Not only
Hearing the eunuch mention that Ling Jue had been to the imperial tent, Ling Qiyou frowned even tighter, apparently remembering what was going on in the imperial tent at that time, the clown and a few guarded Ling Qiyou at night. The eunuch hurriedly replied that he had never seen King Luo, and Xiao Chuqian, who followed Ling Qiyou and stood in an inconspicuous place behind the crowd, suddenly remembered the strange sound he heard when he was in a turmoil. Could it be Ling Jue?
Looking up again, he saw Ling Jing who was coming lately and Shen Lexin who was following him, Xiao Chuqian looked at him, and his mind sank involuntarily.
When the eunuch kneeling on the ground saw Shen Lexin who was following Ling Jing, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at him tremblingly: "It was him. When His Highness came back, the servant saw him sneaking around. Then, after standing outside the tent for a long time, the servant felt strange at that time, the servant recognized him..."
At that moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lexin, but he said disapprovingly: "What does it have to do with me?"
******before that******
With the sound of silk tearing, Xiao Chuqian's front breasts were completely ripped open. Ling Qiyou squinted his drunken eyes, curled up in his arms, and licked him with his tongue. He was already naked. The chest that came out, the nipples that had been completely hard and erect, was licked by him like this, Xiao Chuqian felt like a fire gathered in his lower abdomen that was about to ignite him, and the proud part instantly swelled up, clinging to his chest. Ling Qiyou's thigh showed a sense of presence.
"Um……"
While panting, Ling Qiyou's mouth overflowed with ambiguous groans, and his hands followed his lips and tongue to move around on his muscular chest, his posture was like a coquettish cat, Xiao Chuqian couldn't bear to hold his waist At the back of her neck, she pulled him up, and kissed his lips that were already extremely red and glowing with water.
Rubbing each other eagerly, the familiar breath instantly filled his mouth and nose, it was Xiao Chuqian's smell, Ling Qiyou felt his body was getting hotter, and the lower body that had already raised his head rubbed against Xiao Chuqian's lower abdomen non-stop Nong, the dense acupuncture points opened and closed with a strong desire to chase after the fingers he kept opening up for himself, but he felt that nothing was enough. The strong sense of emptiness and itching in his body was like being eaten by thousands of insects and ants. It ran straight from the upper back to the limbs and bones.
The place where his fingers were wrapped by his tight tunnel kept wriggling and sucking, just this made Xiao Chuqian's already swollen to the limit harder, and Ling Qiyou's feet were wrapped around his waist , clasped his back tightly with both hands, raised his body, panting and urging him impatiently: "Hurry up...in..."
Xiao Chuqian couldn't bear it anymore, he took out his finger, put on something that was already swollen to the point where his veins burst out, and pressed against his creased acupuncture point that was constantly opening and closing, and sent it forward abruptly, directly rushing to the deepest point.
"what--"
Ling Qiyou couldn't help crying out with the feeling of being completely possessed instantly, and his lips were blocked immediately, the tight and ecstasy succulent flesh actively entangled him, the wet, hot and slippery tunnel was wrapped in a huge body, Xiao Chuqian was lightly refreshed With a snort, he panted heavily and quickly pumped and inserted.
The body was opened to the limit, it was so exciting that even the toes were trembling, and the intense pleasure that made the back numb rushed from the soles of the feet to the forehead. Ling Qiyou's lips could hardly close together, and he could only moan and pant non-stop. Then, the fire in his body burned more and more with Xiao Chuqian's movements, and it was about to burn him out.
While his body was ups and downs, sweat was intertwined and dripping, Xiao Chuqian was like a wild beast, desperately plundering every part of the body of the person below him, Ling Qiyou was so emotional that he clung to him tightly, hooked his neck, from His lips touched his side face, kissed the place where he had slapped him just now, stuck out his tongue and licked and kissed again, like the most intimate caress.
Xiao Chuqian was very satisfied with his unexpected behavior, picked him up by the waist, changed his up and down posture amidst Ling Qiyou's exclamation, let him sit on his body, looked at his lustful eyes and With eager desire in his eyes, he smiled and patted his upturned buttocks, and pressed his ears to bewitch him: "Hey, move yourself~"
"asshole……"
Ling Qiyou hummed, but the hotness and emptiness in his body made him obediently swing his waist, sitting on Xiao Chuqian's body, he took the initiative to swallow his fiery dragon, and sat down hard to the end.
Ling Qiyou's strength is not strong, coupled with too much stimulation, his body has already softened after a few strokes, and his movements have slowed down. He just wriggled his body and rubbed the huge body in his body, gasping for breath with his mouth open, a pair of eyes Shrouded by the deepest lust, he couldn't find the focus at all, but he didn't seem to be satisfied, his breathing was still mixed with an unbearable muffled sound, and Xiao Chuqian was almost driven crazy by his unreasonable teasing, that thing The son was about to explode, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and pressed the person down again, raised his feet to his arms, and once again speeded up and violently entered and exited his body.
For a moment, the obscene sound of the two people's physical contact was endless, and the air was filled with erotic breath.
When Ling Qiyou finally reached the limit, he vented his body trembling and screaming, the sticky whiteness made Xiao Chuqian's lower abdomen a mess, he couldn't hold on any longer, and pumped fiercely again dozens of times, the fiery The hard object was sent to the deepest part of his body, and he vented it all out.
The hot semen hit the intestinal wall so hot that Ling Qiyou felt that his whole body was going to melt away, and all the groans that overflowed his mouth were swallowed by the person who was pressing him down. Sobbing and sobbing, the tears that were forced out during the extreme orgasm were all over her face.
Xiao Chuqian didn't withdraw from his body. After venting, he felt his emotions calm down a bit, and pumped slowly but uninterruptedly. When he got up, the place where he ejaculated just once showed no sign of softening at all, and he became excited again after a few strokes. The ground swelled and stood upright.
"Um... um..."
Ling Qiyou groaned, and was held by Xiao Chuqian in a position where his body was connected and turned over, becoming a back-in-the-back position. Xiao Chuqian pressed his tongue, and licked his sweaty back lightly with the tip of his tongue, causing his lower body to climax. Ling Qiyou's whole body trembling, the lingering charm had not dissipated, and the moans that were almost charming to the bones also changed their tone again.
Pulling him up by the waist, he was kneeling on the bed. Xiao Chuqian straightened up, and was about to show off his glory again, but suddenly heard a strange snorting sound coming from the tent beside him. Seeing that he was not moving, Qi You twisted his waist impatiently and urged him.
"It's just a wild cat..."
Xiao Chuqian muttered in a low voice, as if a stray cat was passing by, he stopped for a moment, and then began to move his body, and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to this fierce love and death.
☆、27 Suspect
As soon as Shen Lexin's words came out, no one answered, but everyone looked at him suspiciously. Ling Jing pulled his sleeve without any trace, and explained to Ling Qiyou helplessly: "He has been with me all night. Together, there's no way he did it..."
"The servant really saw him, and the servant remembers it very clearly!" The wife listened to Ling Jing's words, and quickly intervened to argue.
Ling Qiyou looked at Shen Lexin coldly, as if he wanted to see through the probing intent in his eyes, but Shen Lexin had an indifferent attitude, with a smile on his lips, obviously very happy to see Ling Qiyou meet him trouble.
After a long time, Ling Qiyou finally opened his mouth slowly and asked him: "Did you come out at Zishi?"
"Yes, I came out to get up at night, and when I walked out the door, I saw King Luo avoiding the patrolling guards and sneaking towards His Majesty's tent. I saw him cut open the tent cloth with a knife and look inside, and after a short while, another The deputy ran away in fright with the expression of seeing a ghost, and for a moment she was curious and wanted to see what happened, but in the end she saw..." Shen Lexin laughed while talking, her eyes were full of jokes, and she paused halfway through the sentence , deliberately prolonging the voice to tantalize people's appetite, seeing Ling Qiyou's eyes showing murderous intent, Ling Jing hurriedly pulled his sleeve again, he curled his lips indistinctly, and changed his words: "Later, I saw King Luo running away. After going back, I followed him to his tent, originally I wanted to tell him what I saw in the imperial tent, but thinking of what King Xuan said, I can’t cause trouble for His Majesty, so I had to forget it and go back.”
Ling Jing felt a little headache listening to Shen Lexin's provocative words in public at this moment, but Ling Qiyou pretended that he didn't hear his nonsense, and turned his eyes to the officers and soldiers beside him, except for the guards in charge of patrolling the forbidden palace. Around the garrison, soldiers and horses from the northern and southern barracks who were supposed to participate in the inspection today were on duty in rotation. A small soldier suddenly said, "I have seen him too. At that time, I came back from my shift to rest. It was about three quarters in the morning. I saw He acted suspiciously, came from the direction of King Luo's tent, and quickly went back to King Xuan's tent, but the night watchman outside King Xuan's tent didn't stop him, so I didn't go up to ask him."
"Third quarter?" Ling Qiyou repeated slowly, and asked Shen Lexin again: "From less than midnight to three quarters, you just woke up at night, and you have to stay outside for more than three quarters of an hour?"
"My stomach hurts after eating something bad." Shen Lexin replied calmly.
The imperial physician who was examining Ling Jue's body whispered to Ling Qiyou, "Your Majesty, the time of Luo Wang's death should be between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-], and the fatal injury was the knife wound on his neck."
Hearing this, Ling Qiyou looked at Shen Lexin with a colder look. After asking around like this, no one except Shen Lexin, whether it was the officers and soldiers on duty or the guards on patrol, saw any other suspicious persons, only him One, the timing is just right, it is really difficult for people not to doubt it.
Lin Qin, the current commander-in-chief of the Beijing North Camp, who originally followed Xu Chongqing and helped Ling Qiyou take down Xiao's party during the palace change that day, reminded Ling Qiyou in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person is a serious suspect. Take it down, put it in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then torture and interrogate it."
Ling Qiyou glanced at him, this Lin Tan is Xu Chongqing's most loyal cronies, and the suspect Shen Lexin is a member of King Xuan, so he is naturally rushing to persuade him to take Shen Lexin down. Shang Shu, the previous assassination incident, the Ministry of Criminal Investigations checked and found out, but now if Shen Lexin is thrown to them, what will be the result of the trial, then it will be Xu Chongqing alone, so he ignored this Lin Qin Proposed, raised his jaw at Ling Jing, and asked him: "What does King Xuan think?"
Ling Jing glanced at Shen Lexin, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "He is my bodyguard, I believe the matter has nothing to do with him."
"It's useless to believe King Guangxuan alone. This person is the most suspicious person now. If you want me to be convinced, you have to show some solid evidence." Before Ling Qiyou could speak, Lin Tan choked back.
"You don't have any solid evidence to prove that I did it." Shen Lexin sneered disapprovingly: "Just because I appeared in this place at that time, it is too far-fetched to say that I killed King Luo."
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you, those dancers who assassinated His Majesty last time were King Xuan..."
"That's enough, shut up," Ling Qiyou scolded him, and then said to Ling Jing: "You guard me closely, when I want to summon him for questioning, you have to let him come whenever you want. "
At least he didn't drag him down now, Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took his life, and dragged Shen Lexin, who was still a little bit aggrieved, away.
Even if the others were dissatisfied with Ling Qiyou's treatment, they couldn't say anything. Afterwards, he ordered someone to take Ling Jue's body with him, and ordered him to leave for Beijing ahead of schedule after dawn.
Shen Lexin, who was dragged back to the tent, shook off Ling Jing's hand that was holding her wrist, and said angrily: "It has nothing to do with me, it's useless for you to stare at me."
"It's not you?"
"How many times do you want me to say it?! I have nothing to do to Ling Jue?! Killing him can provoke the relationship between the emperor and other princes?! Will you let me do this?! What's the point of killing him? ?!"
Ling Jing stared into his eyes for a while, sighed helplessly, sat down beside him, helped him knead the wrist that was red from being dragged just now, and asked him in a soft voice: "You took advantage of me in the middle of the night What did you do when you fell asleep and ran out? How long have you been there?"
Shen Lexin rolled her eyes with a little guilty conscience: "If I say it, I will wake up at night..."
"to be frank."
"... here you are," Shen Lexin took out the things in her sleeves and threw them on him, complaining uncontrollably: "In order to steal this for you, why don't you think I'm willing to go outside to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night? It turned out to be for no reason. The murder suspect has been found, look at the posture of those people outside, and the little emperor, they have decided that I did it."
Ling Jing took the thing he threw in his hands, and laughed. It was a jade brush used by a famous person from the previous dynasty that he bought at the antique market in Beijing a few days ago. Later, Qi Wang Lingchen saw it, and he was ashamed. I asked for it, Shen Lexin knew that she also likes to collect these gadgets, so she specifically looked for an opportunity to steal them back for him.
Ling Jing hugged him tightly, kissed his neck as white as jade, and asked him: "Then what did you see in the imperial tent?"
"What else can it be?" Shen Lexin snorted, "Your eldest nephew was rolled over and over by that eunuch..."
Ling Jing was even happier when she heard the words: "That's it?"
"Ling Jue guessed that he was not convinced after losing the competition in the afternoon, and wanted to steal the little emperor's golden saddle, but when he saw this, he ran away in fright. He originally wanted him to make trouble for the little emperor." As Shen Lexin said, she curled her lips again: "Later, I thought that the surname Xiao's thick skin would make people laugh when they knew that he had an affair with the little emperor. I didn't expect that Ling Jue was killed."
Speaking of Ling Jue's death, Ling Jing felt a little unhappy. Although he had no relationship with Ling Jue, he was his brother after all, and Shen Lexin became a suspect now. It made him very unhappy. After thinking about it, He didn't have a clue for a while, so he kissed Shen Lexin's face again, and reminded him: "Be quiet these few days, you didn't do it, and I won't let people wrong you."
******
When Xiao Chuqian entered the door, Ling Qiyou was teasing the little steamed bun absently in his arms. The things were almost packed, and the sky outside was about to dawn. In less than half an hour, they were going back to the palace. go.
Ling Qiyou looked up at him and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
"Go and wash up..." Xiao Chuqian answered him casually, naturally he wouldn't say that Ling Jing sent someone to reassure him that the matter had nothing to do with Shen Lexin, and also asked him to mediate in front of Ling Qiyou, Ling Jing said so According to Xiao Chuqian's understanding of him, he actually believed it, but looking at Ling Qiyou's suspicious and hostile eyes in front of him, he really felt that if he wanted to mediate, Ling Qiyou had to be able to listen to it. ...: "What do you... think about this matter?"
Ling Qiyou's tone was very cold: "This is something that you, an eunuch, should take care of?"
See, that's the attitude.
Regardless of whether he listened or not, Xiao Chuqian said to himself: "If the people of King Xuan did it, it doesn't make any sense at all. What good would it do for him to kill King Luo? Instead, it's up to Your Majesty to convict him and cut down the clan." The reason, and King Xuan and King Luo have never had any grudges..."
"What if Shen Lexin did it himself?" Ling Qiyou didn't think so: "I see that he never put King Xuan in his eyes at all, so he might not listen to King Xuan that much."
Xiao Chuqian sighed softly. Although Shen Lexin was a bit tricky, she really had all eyes on King Xuan. She regarded King Xuan as the person on top of her heart, but the little emperor never paid attention to him.
...the gap is too big.
"Maybe it's Uncle Xu, it was him last time..."
"Enough," Ling Qiyou interrupted him impatiently: "Who did the thing, I will investigate, and I will say it again, it has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Chuqian shook his head, and stopped talking about offending him. He knew that if Uncle Xu really did what he did, it would definitely be the last thing Ling Qiyou wanted to see. At that time, the vassal kings from all over the world would definitely rise up and attack to persecute him. Ling Qiyou gave them an explanation for disposing of Uncle Xu, but it is definitely not an easy matter to deal with Uncle Xu, this is the real trouble.
Going forward and taking the little steamed bun from his hand, Xiao Chuqian reminded him with a smile: "Your Majesty, you should change your clothes. When the sky dawns, everyone will see it."
When he was talking, his eyes kept falling on Ling Qiyou's neck. Ling Qiyou subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his neck, and immediately understood the meaning of his words. He just went out in a hurry and changed his clothes casually. He forgot that he was covered with traces left by the culprit in front of him. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the murder case and it was dark so no one saw it.
"You go out." Trying to control the anger that was about to burst out, Ling Qiyou spit out these three words in a tone as gentle as possible but gritted his teeth.
The smile in Xiao Chuqian's eyes grew stronger, and he stopped teasing him, and went out of the tent to wait while holding the little steamed bun.
☆、28 Evidence
Because of the sudden murder case, the hunting activities were suspended, and Ling Qiyou led the crowd back to Beijing at dawn that day. Ling Jing and the others still lived in the Li Palace on the west side, and Ling Qiyou sent more people to watch over them. He went out, and in the afternoon, just when he was having a headache about how to deal with this matter, without accident, Xu Chongqing came to the door.
Because of Xiao Chuqian's prank before, Xu Chongqing lay at home for a few days with red rashes on his hands and arms. What happened above the paddock.
Before he opened his mouth, Ling Qiyou first said: "I have already ordered Zongzheng Temple to investigate the murder of the eleventh emperor's uncle. Uncle is not feeling well, so there is no need to worry about it."
"Weichen is fine," Xu Chongqing said, "this is a serious matter, I'm afraid it's difficult to investigate clearly with Zongzheng Temple alone, or let the Criminal Department work together to arrest the murderer first and interrogate him..."
"No need," Ling Qiyou interrupted him, and said, "Since I have already ordered Zongzheng Temple to investigate, there is no need for the Ministry of Punishment to intervene, and the guard next to King Xuan has no evidence or physical evidence to confirm it." It doesn't seem appropriate to identify the person who committed the murder just by matching the timing of his appearance, and I don't think King Xuan has any reason to attack King Luo."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Chongqing raised his voice a little bit, and persuaded angrily: "I know that you are worried about King Xuan's power in Jiangdong, and I am afraid that he will have rebellious thoughts because of this matter, but if the matter is really caused by King Xuan Yes, you are just tearing up the face with King Xuan. If you help him get rid of the crime, then the other vassal lords who are ready to move will think that you want to cut the hand of the vassal and attack him. By that time There is no way to clean it up!"
Although Xu Chongqing's words are a bit alarmist, they are somewhat reasonable. Ling Qiyou naturally knows the current situation, but if the matter is really not caused by someone sent by Ling Jing, even if he falls on Ling Jing if there is no definite evidence, it will be fine. It may not be able to convince the other vassal kings. When they think that he killed Luo Wang first and then planted Xuan Wang, it will be even more troublesome. Xu Chongqing must also know the depth of this, but his current purpose is obviously just to confuse It's just that he and Ling Jing are facing each other.
After Xu Chongqing finished speaking, before Ling Qiyou could speak again, the clown rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside that the minister of punishment has brought dozens of people to the Li Palace, and he is going to forcibly take away the guard surnamed Shen. There was almost a conflict, and in the end King Xuan followed them, and they were taken into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Also, King Qi sent people several times to ask how King Luo died. Hundreds of soldiers left by King Luo outside the city are gathered outside the city right now, and I want you to give them an explanation for King Luo's death."
Ling Qiyou glanced coldly at Xu Chongqing, and asked displeasedly, "You sent someone there?"
Xu Chongqing lowered his head, and replied calmly: "The minister is just doing business."
What a business!Ling Qiyou sneered, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Bring King Xuan and the guard beside him into the palace, go now!"
"No," Xu Chongqing flatly refused without even thinking about it: "This matter will help His Majesty to find out the matter, and please Your Majesty..."
"What? Is it okay if I want to interrogate the suspect myself? Do I need my uncle's approval for what I want to do?"
"I don't dare," Xu Chongqing said, hesitating for a moment, and finally gave in: "I will send someone to escort them into the palace."
After Xu Chongqing left, Ling Qiyou sent someone to appease King Qi and the soldiers and horses of King Luo outside the city, to make them calm down, and promised to find out the truth within ten days and give them an explanation. Waving people back down.
In the royal garden.
Sitting by the pool, Xiao Chuqian was fishing for goldfish for the little steamed bun who was rarely bubbling in the hands of the nanny, and turned around to tease him from time to time. The little steamed bun seemed very happy, with a pair of round eyes wide open, mouth Babbling and making unidentified noises, clapping hands, laughing and screaming.
Ling Qiyou had to deal with court affairs and summoned officials, so Xiao Chuqian, who was not welcome, was naturally kicked out, but he didn't care, he was staying in the imperial garden at the moment, the spring sun was just right, and he was comfortable on the contrary.
Behind the rockery not far away, there was a figure poking his head. It seemed that he was thinking about coming and hesitant. Xiao Chuqian raised his eyes and glanced twice, and said lazily: "Little Eunuch Shitou, you are so shameful. What corner do you want to hear from behind the rockery?" ?”
It was the eunuch Xiao Shitou who was in charge of guarding him and delivering meals to him when he was locked in the dungeon and walked out resentfully from behind the rockery.
Squatting down beside Xiao Chuqian, Xiao Shitou sized him up and said with a little resentment: "You are destined to die, and you will have a bright future by following His Majesty and serving His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Xiao Chuqian laughed: "What? Little Eunuch Shitou is still guarding the dungeon? Is there anyone else there?"
"There will be no one left after you leave," Xiao Shitou said with a bitter face again: "I was sent to the stable to change the feed for those animals."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuqian patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, but Xiaoshi suddenly grabbed his sleeve and begged him pitifully: "Xiao Chuzi, for the sake of the fact that I treated you well in the past few months, Go and talk to His Majesty, can you give me a better job?"
The corners of Xiao Chuqian's mouth twitched slightly: "How can I speak in front of His Majesty..."
Xiao Shitou obviously didn't believe his words: "You are the personal servant of His Highness the Crown Prince, if His Majesty entrusts His Highness the Crown Prince to you, that means trusting you, you, why can't you say anything? Even if you don't tell His Majesty, you can tell the ugly eunuch , he will definitely give you this face."
"...You think too much, the ugly eunuch won't give me this face."
Xiao Shitou thought that he was trying to shirk and didn't want to help, so he was angry and annoyed for a moment, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and stuffed something from his sleeve into his hand: "Do me a favor, Mr. Chuzi, I really don't want to be here Where does the stable stay with those beasts all day long..."
Xiao Chuqian saw that this little stone was actually stuffed with a heavy golden whistle as a bribe for himself, but he was amused, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, take it and do me this favor. I will be grateful to you in the future." When he said this, Xiao Shitou's eyes drifted away, and his tone sounded a little guilty.
Xiao Chuqian didn't take it seriously: "This thing is expensive, right? Where did you, a father-in-law who works as a handyman, get it from? Little Shitou, I wouldn't dare to accept something of unknown origin from you..."
Hearing this, Xiao Shitou was furious, he didn't dare to take him and he was reluctant to give it away, if he didn't know that the white wolf couldn't live with empty gloves, he wouldn't have come to make this idea, but now facing Xiao Chuqian's suspicious eyes , hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and told the truth: "I picked it up at the resident last night."
Xiao Chuqian was a little surprised when he heard the words, and his tone became serious: "Last night? You also went to the paddock yesterday?"
Little Stone nodded: "Look at the stables."
"When? Where did you pick it up?"
"It's just after midnight. Someone else came to replace me. I went back to rest. Just outside Luo Wang's tent, I saw a masked man in black coming out of Luo Wang's tent and quickly disappeared. After I left, I walked over and picked it up when I saw it fell on the ground, and I didn’t dare to cause trouble, so I left too.”
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Xiao Shitou muttered in a low voice: "I didn't see what that person looked like, no matter what I said, it would cause trouble..."
Then he quickly reminded Xiao Chuqian: "Don't tell others about the origin of this whistle, I..."
"What else did you see?"
"...No, there was only one man in black, about eight feet tall, and it was very dark at that time, so he couldn't see his face at all. He walked very fast, and disappeared in an instant."
"I'm going to tell His Majesty right now." Xiao Chuqian stood up, seeing Xiao Shitou's expression suddenly changed, so he smiled at him and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you. After you want to change errands I'll help you get it done."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Little Shitou to say more, he took the little mantou who was still enjoying himself from the nanny's hand, and went back to Zhaode Hall.
And at this moment, in Zhaode Hall, Ling Qiyou was interrogating Ling Jing and Shen Lexin who were brought by Xu Chongqing. He didn't go around too much, and asked Shen Lexin directly: "I will ask you again, Luo Wang Does his death have anything to do with you?"
Shen Lexin snorted lightly, and said disapprovingly: "If there is evidence, His Majesty can kill me directly. If there is no evidence, if you insist on relying on me, then don't blame the world for thinking that His Majesty killed King Luo first and then framed King Xuan."
"Presumptuous!" Xu Chongqing on the side shouted loudly: "You are so courageous! How dare you talk to Your Majesty like that!"
Shen Lexin was even more dismissive of him, Ling Jing squeezed his hand hard, signaled him to shut up, and then replied for him: "It is true that he didn't do it, and he said that when he came back, , Near Luo Wang’s tent, I saw a figure flashing past, but it was too dark at that time, so I only saw the back.”
Hearing this, Ling Qiyou frowned slightly, and asked Shen Lexin: "Why didn't you say this in the paddock this morning?"
Shen Lexin asked him back: "Did Your Majesty give me a chance to say it? At that time, it wasn't that His Majesty and His ministers all acted as if they believed that I had killed someone. Didn't they be so aggressive that they almost convicted me?"
After Shen Lexin finished speaking, before Ling Qiyou could speak, Xiao Chuqian had already entered the door without permission, and walked directly in front of Ling Qiyou with a gloomy face, and handed him the whistle that Xiao Shitou gave him: "Look at it last night. The eunuch in the stables picked it up outside King Luo's tent. He said that he saw a man in black about eight feet tall coming out of King Luo's tent, but it was too dark, and the man covered his face again, so he couldn't see clearly. What's it like?"
Ling Qiyou was a little surprised when he heard the words, his eyes fell on the golden whistle he raised in front of him, and when he raised his eyes again, he didn't miss the flash of astonishment that flashed in Shen Lexin's eyes when he saw the whistle in front of him.
At that moment, Ling Qiyou turned his eyes cold and asked him: "Do you know this thing?"
☆、29·Recidivism
"You know this thing?"
The surprise was just the moment when she saw the things in Xiao Chuqian's hands, Shen Lexin quickly regained her composure, and denied it categorically: "I don't know."
He was lying, Ling Qiyou saw through it at a glance, he recognized this thing, but it didn't matter, took the golden whistle from Xiao Chuqian's hand and carefully looked at the pattern engraved on it that resembled some kind of symbolic sign, Ling Qiyou thought It shouldn't be difficult to find out the history of this thing, after all, there are clues.
Xu Chongqing wanted to say something more, but Ling Qiyou didn't give him a chance to speak, and said directly: "Uncle, since I have ordered Zongzheng Temple to investigate this matter, you should stop interfering, and the Criminal Department has to deal with it every day. There are many large and small cases, so don't waste any more manpower, you go down first."
"But Your Majesty..."
"Uncle, let's go down first."
Seeing Ling Qiyou's resolute attitude, Xu Chongqing knew that it was useless to talk too much, so she gritted her teeth and finally retreated.
Ling Qiyou glanced at Ling Jing and Shen Lexin, paused, hesitated for a moment, and ordered someone to detain them together: "Temporarily detain them in Qitai Hall, and don't step on them until the matter is clarified." Take a step out of Qitai Hall."
The Qitai Hall is just behind the Zhaode Hall. It is a place for the emperor to offer sacrifices. It is usually uninhabited. Ling Qiyou threw Ling Jing there. It is indeed much better than the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Xiao Chuqian on the side couldn't help but chuckled lightly.
Ling Qiyou glanced at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Your Majesty arranged for King Xuan and the others to live in the palace. Could it be that he was worried that His Majesty Guojiu would attack them regardless?"
Ling Qiyou snorted softly, if they were handed over to Xu Chongqing, Xu Chongqing would not dare to attack Ling Jing directly, but it would most likely kill Shen Lexin and provoke Ling Jing to completely confront him, even though he had no one in his eyes and had a heart for this The unruly Shen Lexin really didn't like it, but she didn't want to just tear up her face with Ling Jing like Xu Chongqing's wish.
"This whistle? Where did it come from?"
Xiao Chuqian recounted what happened to the little stone in the imperial garden just now, and finally said: "Your Majesty, how about selling a slave to give him a favor?"
Ling Qiyou asked him coldly: "Why did I sell your favor?"
Xiao Chuqian tapped his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Before you competed with King Luo, it was only with the help of your servants that you were able to win against him..."
Mentioning King Luo, the look in Ling Qiyou's eyes darkened a bit, and he interrupted him coldly: "Sure, send him to Zhaode Palace to serve the prince with you."
Xiao Chuqian quickly smiled and thanked him.
After being imprisoned in Qitai Hall, Ling Jing saw that Shen Lexin was frowning absent-mindedly and shook his hand lightly, asking him, "Have you seen that golden whistle? Where did it come from?"
Shen Lexin raised her eyes to look at him, and said helplessly: "It's Yuwen Minhao, and the group of dead guards he raised used that kind of golden whistle as their identity."
Ling Jing was very surprised when she heard this, is it related to the Nanman Kingdom?
Yuwen is the surname of the Nanman Kingdom. This Yuwen Minhao is the second prince of the Nanman Kingdom, and he is also the most powerful contender for the throne. The old emperor of the Nanman Kingdom has three sons. The eldest prince died more than ten years ago. In the past two years, as the old emperor Yuwen was seriously ill, he was getting worse day by day, fighting for power constantly, under the civil strife, and seven years ago, he was defeated by the Dacheng Dynasty and lost twelve cities. Except for the small group of guerrilla forces on the border, it has really been a long time since they committed a crime against the Dacheng Dynasty, so Ling Jing was really surprised to hear that the assassin who killed King Luo was sent by Yuwen Minhao.
Immediately, he was a little worried again, held Shen Lexin's hand tightly, and persuaded: "Stop competing with the emperor, if you are involved in this matter, you will be in trouble, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you at that time."
After a moment of silence, Shen Lexin withdrew her hand, turned her eyes away, not letting Ling Jing see the flash of hatred in her eyes.
As Ling Qiyou expected, Zongzheng Temple found out the origin of this golden whistle within a few days, and before that, he had already known where this thing came from from his hidden guards.
Sure enough, it is inseparable from the Nanman Kingdom, and the people who went to the paddock that day, except for the emperor's relatives, were all officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court. If the assassins from other countries who sneaked in were only among the guards and guards, it would be easy to say, but if they were among these Inside the humerus of the imperial court, that is a big problem.
Thinking of these, Ling Qiyou had a headache.
