As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.
For a man to conquer the world, he needs weapons, blood, killings, and piles of bones; but for a woman to conquer the world, she only needs to conquer the man who has conquered the world.
No matter how wise and decisive a man is, he cannot escape the temptation of beauty. Beauty alone is not enough, and no man will not take the bait.
There must be many corrupt people in the court and even among the local officials. King Lie must have the evidence. No wonder he was hunted down all the way. I really don't know how many people he is going to drag down with this move
Mo Yuan waited for a long time with his body stiff, fearing that Shen Xihe would ask what the Rouge Case was. How would he explain it to the pure and innocent princess
Fortunately, there was only one sentence from above: "I know, you can go down."
Mo Yuan, feeling relieved, stood up and retreated respectfully.
After finishing breakfast and wiping his mouth, Shen Xihe asked Biyu, "Who changed the bloodstained clothes for His Royal Highness Prince Lie yesterday?"
"My lady, it is me." Biyu replied quickly.
"Your Highness, do you have any paper scrolls, books, or other items on you?" Shen Xihe asked again.
"I didn't see it." Biyu thought about it carefully and shook her head.
Shen Xihe stood up and walked to the window sill. She took out a box of incense from her incense cabinet and gave it to Biyu: "Go and replace the incense in His Highness's room, and then go and get His Highness's changed clothes."
"yes."
After Biyu left, Shen Xihe sat in front of the round wooden table, her round and tender fingertips gently moving on the brocade silk cloth.
Xiao Changying was being hunted down so relentlessly, it was obvious that he must have sufficient evidence, but the evidence had not yet been passed on and remained with him.
Otherwise, the person behind the scenes would have been punished long ago. How could he be so arrogant as to assassinate the current prince
Soon Biyu brought the blood-stained clothes. She was worried that the princess would be frightened and wanted to wash them on her own initiative, but thinking of what happened in the morning, she still took the clothes as they were.
Shen Xihe seemed to be unable to see the blood stains on the clothes. She took them in her hands and spread them out inch by inch, but she felt nothing. She looked at him and said, "Go and get His Highness's boots."
Biyu was confused for a moment, but she quickly put away her clothes and went to get Xiao Changying's boots. Xiao Changying was wearing a pair of black leather cloud-toed boots with exquisite gold-threaded cloud-patterned stripes on the edges of the boots. Perhaps because of the long gown, the boots were not stained with much blood.
Shen Xihe also didn't find any interlayer in the boots: "It shouldn't be..."
"Princess, princess, what are you looking for..." Biyu asked with courage. The princess, an unmarried girl, was so shameless that she touched the shoes of His Royal Highness Prince Lie. This behavior was really...
Shen Xihe did not answer her, but instead looked at the remaining petals of a flower that he could not tell what flower it was. It had been rubbed too hard, probably because the shading was not polished.
He took out the silver leaf clip used for perfume making, picked off the petals, and smelled them carefully.
Biyu stared at her princess's actions with eyes wide open in horror, her heart beating wildly.
"It's Lobelia..." Shen Xihe smiled softly, turned around and walked out, and found Mo Yuan and whispered, "Go back along the traces of King Lie being chased, and find the place where Lobelia is. If there are traces of trampling around, dig it up. No matter what you dig, bring it back, go in person."
