Murong Ci sneered in his heart, imprisoning her and wanting to start over
There are such despicable and shameless men in the world
But right now is an extraordinary period. After weighing it, she raised her eyes coldly, "You let me be free, I can think about it."
Yuwen Zhantian smiled happily, his handsome eyes flashed bright blue, "That's great, I won't lock you up again, but you have to be obedient and don't run away."
"Your Prince's Mansion is so heavily guarded, how can I escape?"
"A Ci, I am very happy."
As long as she is willing to think about it, it means that her heart has been shaken. For him, this is of course a small step forward.
Murong Ci's bright eyes rolled, and he ate some more bird's nest porridge.
Now, she has to start to regain her strength, otherwise she can't do anything.
Yuwen Zhantian also ate it, he was in a good mood, and the food in his mouth was also very fragrant.
He suddenly remembered something, "By the way, as far as I know, you have helped Dali Temple solve many murder cases before, and I think your ability to deduce and judge cases is second to none."
She had just resumed her diet and couldn't eat too much. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at him puzzled.
"There was a murder case in the palace the day before yesterday. After two days of investigation, the servant of the criminal department still had no clue. He said that the deceased died by accident. However, the family members of the deceased insisted that it was not an accident. The criminal department must investigate thoroughly. I would like to ask Help me solve the murder case." Yuwen Zhantian said sincerely.
"You are not afraid that someone will recognize Ben Gong." Murong Ci's thoughts moved, it turned out that he was willing to let her out because of her request.
"No one will recognize you." He said firmly, "A Ci, you agreed."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. Besides, I like to deduce the case. There is no murder case for me to investigate, so I am in a panic."
"Then when your physical strength recovers tomorrow, I will take you into the palace." Yuwen Zhantian suddenly thought of something, "You can rest in the guest room tonight."
"No need, Ben Gong should rest here." She said lightly.
"Then you have a good rest."
He smiled brightly and left.
Murong Ci's dull pupils suddenly flashed a clear and cold light, doing so was just to make him feel at ease.
At the time of the child, the cold night was deep, and the entire Prince's Mansion was as silent as death, only the howling cold wind coming and going, and the lonely light and shadow swaying in the cold wind.
In the black shadows, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes hidden, staring around sharply like eagles.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the corner of the eaves, soundlessly, like a ghost, like a shock.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed across the roof over there, and then again on the other side, with incredible speed.
The patrolling guards didn't notice, and walked back and forth methodically with knives.
The Prince's Mansion is full of buildings and numerous palaces and pavilions, but that black shadow is like a vigorous nighthawk, after a few leaps, it accurately finds the main courtyard where Yuwen Zhantian lives, and leans on the roof in a very low posture.
This person is Murong Yu who visited the Prince's Mansion at night.
The Prince's Mansion was too calm, and Yuwen Zhantian was too normal, so it seemed abnormal. He firmly believed that Yuwen Zhantian must be covering up something.
He lifted a roof tile and looked down.
It is the bedroom, and there is a person lying on the bed, it is Yuwen Zhantian.
Yuwen Zhantian, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, his gray-blue handsome eyes were as sharp as knives.
He felt a pair of eyes staring at him
this feeling is very strong
But he didn't get up, put his index finger in his mouth, and whistled.
Murong Yu, who was lying on the roof, was stunned, and saw several black shadows coming from all directions like sharp arrows.
Immediately, with a flash of luck, he flew out of the Prince's Mansion in a few leaps.
Those black shadows chased after him quickly, but after chasing for two streets, the man escaped without a trace, and they had no choice but to go back and report.
Not long after, Murong Yu came out from the dark corner of the street, looking in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, his dark pupils contracted coldly.
The guards in the Prince's Mansion are as strict as iron barrels, so there must be something weird
In the morning of the next day, Yuwen rushed back after fighting the world, and brought her into the palace.
After Murong Ci got up, he felt that half of his physical strength had recovered, but his internal strength had not yet recovered, presumably the effect of the medicine had not completely dissipated. As for the dinner last night, he probably didn't take any medicine.
The maid waited for her to change clothes, and led her out of the secret room to the bedroom outside.
He walked in with a face full of spring breeze, covered in wind and snow, his hair and cloak dotted with crystal white snowflakes. Black and white, the ultimate contrast.
When the sky was getting bright, there was a lot of snow falling from the sky, and the sky and the earth were already white.
"Aci, why are you wearing such thin clothes?" Yuwen Zhantian frowned, and reprimanded the maid in displeasure, "Why didn't you put a cloak on her, how did you serve her?"
"The maidservant is about to put on a cloak for her." The maidservant replied with a guilty conscience.
"Hurry up," he urged coldly.
The servant waited for Murong Ci to put on the cloak in panic, and put Mrs. Tang in Murong Ci's hand, then bowed and retreated.
Murong Ci explained: "Don't scold her, I didn't expect the snow to fall outside. Besides, the door was closed, so the wind and snow couldn't get in, so it's not cold."

sp; Yuwen Zhantian said gently: "You are weak, take care of the cold. By the way, have you recovered your physical strength, can you go out?"
"I'm fine. Is there any progress in the murder case in the palace?"
"No. Today, Taiwei Baili claimed that Mrs. Baili and Miss Baili had an accident in the palace. There must be a conspiracy. The murderer arranged to kill Mrs. Baili and Miss Second. Royal father thoroughly investigates this case, otherwise he will not let it go." His brows were slightly pressed, very worried, "Taiwei Baili spoke vigorously, argued with reason, and said that the people of Baili's family should not die without knowing why. Royal father also I have no choice but to order a thorough investigation. I thought you were willing to help me, so I accepted the matter."
"Captain Baili relies on your father's love for Concubine Baili Hui. If Concubine Baili is not favored, Captain Baili dare not be so arrogant." Murong Ci sneered.
"You're right. Concubine Baili Hui has been in the palace for two years, and she has been promoted from a nobleman to a concubine. She is honored and favored, and her beauty is unparalleled. This is an unprecedented rapid promotion in this country. The emperor favors her, and she only needs to lose two. Tears, father will have nothing to do, and obey her in everything." He sighed long.
"Since you have taken over this matter, then go to the palace to have a look."
"A Ci, whether you can solve this case or not, I am grateful to you." Yuwen Zhantian stared at her fixedly, and couldn't help holding her hands.
The gray-blue eyes are full of deep affection, entangled like algae, and like an abyss, making one want to fall into it.
Murong Ci's face turned cold, and he withdrew his hand, "Let's go."
He was in a daze, but he was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time to be with her and make her change her mind.
He took out a delicate and small silver mask, and put it on her face himself, covering the area below the eyes and above the lips, making it difficult for outsiders to recognize her.
Her heart was covered with snow, and the method he came up with was not bad.
The sky is covered with snow, the sky is covered with gloomy haze clouds, the wind and snow are rustling, and the goose-feathered snow is falling from the sky, curtain after curtain, extending endlessly.
There was a lot of snow on the ground, which was easy to slip. Yuwen Zhantian supported her to the gate with a paper umbrella.
After getting into the carriage, he handed Mrs. Tang to her, and breathed out, "Is it cold?"
"Holding Mrs. Tang won't be cold."
She smiled. When she walked out of the gate just now, she took the opportunity to look around. But she was wearing a mask and a hood, even if Murong Yu's people stared at the Prince's Mansion, they probably wouldn't recognize her.
He sat on the side, smiling brightly, "The wine is warm, drinking can warm you up, drink a little."
Murong Ci didn't refuse, and drank half a glass.
The Prince's Mansion is not far from the palace, and we will arrive soon.
Horses and chariots were not allowed to drive into the palace gate, but the prince was an exception, and he did not stop until he reached the Hehuan Hall of Concubine Baili Hui.
Baili Concubine Hui's close maid Lu Zhu greeted them outside the palace gate, and said enthusiastically, "His Royal Highness, Concubine Hui is waiting for you."
Yuwen Zhantian helped Murong Ci down, and said softly: "Be careful."
Luzhu was surprised that His Royal Highness actually personally supported an unknown young master.
This young man who is not tall is really handsome, although he is wearing a silver mask to cover up his appearance, but it can be seen somewhat, this young man has bright eyes and white teeth, fair complexion, he should have a good appearance. But, who is this son? Why is His Highness the Crown Prince so polite to him
"Your Highness, is this young master?" she asked hesitantly.
"This young master is a counselor of the Prince's Mansion, and he is good at deducing and judging cases. I want to solve murder cases together with him." Yuwen Zhan Tianlang said.
"I see." She nodded, "His Royal Highness, son, please come in."
Murong Ci glanced at the green bamboo and followed him in.
Concubine Baili Hui was already waiting in the main hall, but she was resting her forehead with her hands, her expression was sleepy, her beautiful eyes were red and swollen, and her face was full of sadness and grief.
This is bereavement.
However, Murong Ci felt that even though she looked bad and sad, she was still unparalleled in beauty.
Seeing the person coming, Concubine Baili Hui immediately stood up to greet her, "His Royal Highness."
Turning her eyes to Murong Ci, she hesitated and said, "This is..."
"Xiao Min, my surname is Yu, and I pay my respects to Concubine Hui." Murong Ci bowed and bowed down.
"Concubine Hui, this is a counselor in my palace, and she is helping me investigate the case today." Yuwen Zhantian introduced, "She has scars on her face, which may scare people, so she needs to wear a mask."
"Get up." Concubine Baili Hui asked them to sit down with a gloomy expression.
The maid served hot tea, added silver frost charcoal, turned up the fire in the brazier, and then retreated.
He drank hot tea and said in a deep voice: "Empress Hui, although the minister of punishment has already come to inquire about what happened to Mrs. Baili and Miss Er, but I want to ask again carefully, hoping to find new information. clue."
Concubine Baili Hui nodded, "Your Highness can ask whatever you want."
Murong Ci has been observing her, she does not have the arrogance and arrogance of a favorite concubine, instead she is elegant, chaste, quiet and knowledgeable, which is very rare.
"On the day when the incident happened, that is, three days ago, Mrs. Baili and Miss Er came to the palace to visit you." Yuwen Zhantian asked directly.
"I am pregnant with the emperor's heir, and I started to have severe morning sickness a few days ago. My mother and second sister came to visit me specially, chatted with me for more than half an hour, and even had lunch together." Concubine Baili Hui said slowly , such as a thrush full of maternal tenderness, "After dinner, I sat with my mother and second sister for a while, then went to the bedroom to rest. Mother and second sister also felt a little tired, so they went to the side hall to rest. Some time later, I will have some refreshments with Ben Gong before leaving the palace and returning home."
