"Hey! What's your idea? Are you deliberately showing off in front of your concubine or something? You're like a peacock with its tail spread open! Are you afraid that others won't recognize you or something? Aren't you afraid that they will be overwhelmed by jealousy?
To unite against you?"
When I returned to Zhengyang Palace, I immediately dragged Lin Jingyu into the inner room and stared at him dissatisfied.
He really looked good on me today! He was always clinging to me, almost hanging on me except serving tea to the Queen Mother. He showed everyone how favored he was, even the one on his neck that turned dark and dark.
The teeth marks were only vaguely visible because he wore such poorly concealed clothes. This was simply intentional!
Lin Jingyu pretended not to hear and took off his heavy jewelry and robes one by one.
Seeing his indifferent attitude made me even more angry.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about me!" The Sixth Prince's burning jealous eyes almost melted me! I don't want to be an enemy of him yet, at least I have to wait until I change back to a female body.
Let him plot rebellion! I like palace fighting, but I absolutely don't like fighting for the right to inherit the throne! If you are regarded as an opponent by a prince who hides his secrets, you will die very quickly!
Recalling his sad expression, I felt as if I had done something heinous to him. The complicated look in those clear eyes made me panic...
"Did you discover anything today?"
While they were storming out in frustration in the room, Qin Murong and Mandil swaggered in from the back door without notice. The one who asked questions was naturally Qin Hu, who talked more than rice. My Zhengyang Palace has almost become their underground.
The meeting took place. And the meeting was done openly and openly in front of me, the "emperor". Occasionally, he would criticize me as an emperor or not.
"What did you find?" I looked at them puzzled.
Qin Murong smiled brightly at me, "Of course I found some funny and interesting things." As he said that, he turned to Lin Jingyu. Obviously, the words he just said were meant for him.
"What fun can there be? It's like this every day." I shrugged nonchalantly, called Ziyuan and Fendai to serve tea, and then sent them away.
Lin Jingyu sat on the chair a little tiredly, lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the white mist rising from the tea cup, focused his eyes on one point, and opened his red lips lightly:
"For the first time, I know that none of my concubines are economical lamps."
"Nonsense." I rolled my eyes. How can women save fuel? Especially women in the harem!
"In other words, it's possible for anyone?" Qin Murong sat down at his head, picked up the tea and drank it politely.
"What could it be?" I was a little confused about what they said.
"Possibly killing someone." Mandrill answered this time. His voice was cold, cool, and very personal. I couldn't help but look at him twice. He was dressed in red, a darker color than before, with black arrow sleeves.
He wears a black waistband, black boots, and no extra decorations on his body. His silky and shiny hair is simply tied with a black hairband, hanging in a ponytail shape on the back of his head, refreshing and capable. I guess: Is this kid supposed to be
It will be the year of animal life, even the underwear will be red...
"Killing people in the harem?" I suddenly became interested in what he said, "Who was murdered this time?" Then my mind began to filter cats and dogs who were not present today.
"It seems that you really hope that there will be no peace in my harem?" Lin Jingyu was filled with resentment and gave me a sidelong glance.
"If you have many sons, your wealth will be scattered; if you have many women, right and wrong will gather together." I said the classic conclusion without blushing or heart beating.
Lin Jingyu gritted his teeth and did not refute.
"It makes sense!" Qin Murong nodded. Then he looked at me with a smile. "I wonder what did the lady see?"
I sat upright and said seriously: "The Sixth Prince - I have to guard against him." It's not to prevent him from misbehaving with 'Jingyue', but to prevent him from doing anything to me.
The three of them looked at me in surprise.
"I didn't expect that the girl also noticed it." Qin Murong frowned slightly. "But the two assassinations not long ago were probably not carried out by the prince."
"Of course he didn't do it." I covered my lips and snickered, but there was no trace of sincerity in the smile, it was so hypocritical. "The Sixth Prince is a relative of the emperor, how could he do such an unsavory thing! Commander Zhou is not under the Queen Mother.
Have you captured the murderer within the given time limit and handed it over to Dali Temple for disposal?" That was all a few days ago, but now it is meaningless to discuss whether the person found is the real murderer. He is the one who takes the blame.
People are dead, and this discussion is nonsense.
I picked up the snacks on the table and threw them into my mouth, savoring them carefully. Well, the snacks made by the imperial dining room were delicious!
"Do you believe that those two timid eunuchs and nuns can poison the tea without being noticed?" Qin Murong's lips had a touch of cold sarcasm, and there was no warmth in his clear eyes.
, just like the weather outside.
I shrunk my neck, moved my position slightly, and sat farther away from him. Although he was very beautiful, his originally gentle and gentle face looked much colder, which made his whole person upgrade from a delicate and cute porcelain doll.
The cold beauty carved from ice and snow. This was all due to the two attempted assassinations by those stupid women. It offended the emperor's die-hard fan, Brother Qin, and was very angry, and the consequences were serious.
Thinking of the night when there was a snake attack, he casually sprinkled a bunch of powder to drive away those poor creatures who did not understand the dangers of human nature and were used as spearmen. I was really afraid that he would also throw something at me and drive away my soul.
After running away, I quickly moved my position again and moved to the brazier.
"Where did the poison come from?"
Lin Jingyu, who had been sitting in a daze for a long time, finally began to seriously think about all the possibilities.
"Choose one: Either someone brought it in, or I secretly arranged it in the palace." I immediately kindly answered his questions.
"It makes sense." Qin Murong nodded, "In this case, the Tai Hospital cannot be divorced."
"It's also possible that some inconspicuous flowers and plants planted in my yard are actually highly poisonous." My eyes gleamed with excitement. He is a poison-making master! If he fights with such a person, doesn't he have no chance of winning?
The palace is really a place of crouching tiger, hidden dragon...
Mandrill rolled his eyes. "Ignorant!"
I immediately glared at him. How dare you pour cold water on me! After all, I have the status of an emperor now, right?
In order to avoid the escalation of the war, Qin Murong kindly explained: "Every flower and plant planted in the palace and every animal raised in the palace are strictly reviewed before being allowed to be brought into the palace. No matter which empress or prince or princess needs it,
Everything outside must be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before it can be purchased. People are no exception."
In other words, the person who poisoned and released the snake were both members of the palace, and there was no suspicion of outsiders.
"But there are things that we can't control." I curled my lips.
Qin Murong smiled. "For example: snakes, rats, insects and ants."
"There are also birds!" I added excitedly. "You can fly doves to deliver messages, or flying eagles to deliver secret signals! Let me hunt one down and make a roasted bird one day -"
The three of them rolled their eyes.
Yeah? Isn’t that right?
"Don't talk about birds, even flies can't fly in. But snakes..." Lin Jingyu murmured to himself, as if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his eyes suddenly. "That night, the incense burning seemed different from before.
…”
"Snakes can't smell fragrance, can they? Snakes have no sense of smell!" I glared at him. Common sense! How did you learn it when you were a child?
"It is said that some small countries in the Western Region and the South have masters in controlling snakes. They control the movements of snakes by playing flutes." Mandrill, who was well-informed, was half right.
I shook my head. "Snakes don't have hearing either. They don't even have good vision."
They looked at me in astonishment. My vanity immediately swelled. Look! There are things that I understand that they don’t!
"Actually, the snake goes towards the heat source in the house."
I searched for the knowledge in my subconscious mind and carefully considered: "Let's not forget the ones in the kitchen. In order to keep them fat and make the emperor's ladies happy when they eat, the cooks naturally have to keep them alive and will not let them
Hibernation. However, the extra one grows in nature. In this season, it is such a cold day, so it needs to find a cave to hibernate, so that it will not crawl out for no reason and scare people."
"So?" Qin Murong became interested and looked at me brightly.
"So," I licked my lips, "someone discovered it and awakened it in some way. That person knew the habits of snakes very well. He must have had many contacts with snakes before. Moreover, he could enter and exit Zhengyang freely.
