Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

Ye Huaiyun was sitting in the room, holding a sunspot in his hand and knocking on the chess scale in front of him.His eyes seem to be staring at the chess game, and he seems to look at other places through the black and white.

I thought that through Wang Xiangshan and Tianguanfang, a big line behind could be drawn, but I never thought that the spearhead would be pointed at me suddenly, and my mood would inevitably become irritated.

Chu Tingyun pushed the door open and came in, carrying a food box in his hand, which was just sent out by Ye Huaiyun to buy dinner.

The people at the table noticed him coming in, but their eyes remained motionless, and Gu Zi muttered silently.

Chu Tingyun stepped forward and took away the sunspot from Ye Huaiyun's hand.He also lowered his eyes and saw that the black and white confrontation on the chess scale was out of order, it was simply put on it by the chess player at will, so he simply reached out and wiped the chess scale a few times indiscriminately, messing up all the chess pieces.

Ye Huaiyun finally looked up at him, "What are you doing?"

"Eat." Chu Tingyun said: "Don't boil your body."

"Look at these first." Ye Huaiyun picked up a stack of letters on the table and handed them to him, "The shadow guards found them all from Wang Xiangshan's study."

Chu Tingyun took it casually and flipped through it, "This handwriting is somewhat similar to yours."

He paused for a moment, Ye Huaiyun thought he had seen a clue from it, and was thinking hard, so he waited for him to open his lips again.But then, he heard Chu Tingyun continue: "But although I imitated your ink style, I didn't get the charm of the brushwork, which is far less beautiful than your own writing."

"..." Ye Huaiyun was at a loss for words, "Didn't you see anything else?"

"Of course there are." Chu Tingyun moved the chessboard aside, and put the stacks of vegetables in the food box over, "But I will tell you after I finish eating."

Ye Huaiyun couldn't resist him, so he had to pick up the chopsticks.

But there was something in his heart, he really didn't have much appetite, and without looking at it, he picked up a piece of ribs from the plate and put it in the bowl, but he tossed it in his bowl a dozen times, but didn't eat it.In the end, Chu Tingyun couldn't stand it anymore, so he hugged the man on his lap and fed him little by little.

"Open your mouth." Chu Tingyun took another spoonful of tremella soup.

Ye Huaiyun's upper lip opened slightly with an almost invisible slit.

And the next second, there was a hot and humid temperature on his lips, and Chu Tingyun pressed his nipple against his teeth, and poured the soup into his mouth in such an ambiguous way.

Although the method is shameless, it is so easy to use!After Ye Huaiyun swallowed what was in his mouth, he quickly thanked Bumin and said, "I'll do it myself."

This meal, from the loss of appetite at the beginning to the end of every plate.

Sitting opposite him, Chu Tingyun carefully picked out the ginger and garlic condiments that Ye Huaiyun didn't eat under the candlelight, before bringing the small bowl to him.

Ye Huaiyun lowered his head and took a sip of the soup. It was very warm, but not hot.Although I was entangled in unreasonable official duties, I suddenly felt that the feeling of stealing a moment of peace was actually very good.Since he died of depression in his last life, and since he entered the East Palace as a young man in this life, he has seldom been able to have such a peaceful meal.Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corners of his lips unconsciously.

Chu Tingyun wiped the corners of his mouth with a damp cloth, and ordered his servants to remove the leftovers from the table and make a pot of hot tea.

Ye Huaiyun smiled and said, "Can we talk now?"

Chu Tingyun then became serious, "Do you still remember when we encountered someone robbing prisoners in Beijing?"

Ye Huaiyun nodded, he naturally remembered.

At that time, the dead man who robbed the prisoner and You Fufeng Jin Wenxuan poured dirty water into the East Palace together, and the emperor still hasn't found out where the money stolen by You Fufeng went.

"Obviously." Chu Tingyun continued: "Whether it's Wang Xiangshan or You Fufeng, they are just puppets doing things for others. The purpose of acting in the name of King Xiang is to make the emperor suspicious of you and abolish the reserve..."

He didn't say the last two words, but Ye Huaiyun also guessed that the waste reserve was set up separately.

Speaking of which, he did have several brothers in the feudal land outside the capital.

It's just that Ye Huaiyun was reborn and came back, and with a little trickery, those brothers were released to the outside world.

But who is it, planning every step of the way, so ambitious?

And judging from today's perspective, Wang Xiangshan should really not know who the mastermind behind it is, and there is no clue from these letters and evidence.

Ye Huaiyun thought about his elder brothers in his mind, and felt more and more upset. It seems that if this matter really needs to be investigated, he must start with You Fufeng Jin Wenxuan.

Ever since Chu Tingyun had been ridiculous with him last night, there have been two pillows on the bed.

The night was as cold as water, and Ye Huaiyun lay on his side facing the wall.After a while, Chu Tingyun suddenly pulled him into his arms from behind and kissed him.

Ye Huaiyun raised her eyelids to look at him, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

"Because you didn't sleep." Chu Tingyun pointed out his thoughts directly, "Still thinking about Wang Xiangshan?"

Ye Huaiyun gave a slightly tired "hmm", as long as he closed his eyes, it would be what happened in the past few days, and he would not feel sleepy at all.

"I know you have a lot on your mind." Chu Tingyun curled his lips helplessly, "If we really can't sleep, we'll go to the Yamen and the palace to see if there are any clues we missed."

"You..." Ye Huaiyun propped himself up on his elbows, seemingly hesitating to speak.

"What?" Chu Tingyun straightened the broken hair on his forehead that was messed up due to tossing and turning.

Ye Huaiyun sighed, "You really don't have to accommodate me."

Chu Tingyun looked at him in confusion, "It's not considered accommodating."

Ye Huaiyun shook his head, "I know, after going through all kinds of things before, you are tired of the treacherous calculations in the court. Last time I said, leave your unfulfilled ambitions to me, the crown prince. As for you ...It's good to be so willful."

Before he finished speaking, the smile on the corner of Chu Tingyun's mouth became a little stiff for an instant, and the eyes and fingertips that fell on Ye Huaiyun's face were also slowly withdrawn, lifted the gauze, and turned to look out of the window .

The crescent moon is bowed, and the tide is exquisite. Looking at the starlight in the north of the sky, it seems to be dimmed a little suddenly, and the half of the face outside the quilt is cold for no reason.

Ye Huaiyun saw that he looked sick, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

"Wrong." Chu Tingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the voice from his throat was very low, "It's not that I'm disgusted, but I used to feel that the puddle of water and mud on the court hall has long been muddy and hopeless. "

Ye Huaiyun paused with his fingertips, as if a conversation he had with him rang in his ears.

——What is your hatred?

——The country is weak.

Chu Tingyun continued: "But you will be the one who will rule the world in the future, so I have no reason to stand by and watch."

Ye Huaiyun squeezed Chu Tingyun's hand beside him, and Chu Tingyun held him back, and for a moment, the abnormal emotion disappeared from his face, and said: "Let's go, I will accompany you to the government office again. have a look."

In the courtyard, algae and midges intersect, bamboos and cypresses weave together, and bright pagoda tree flowers bathe in elegant snow.

Not far away, a figure hurriedly came running from the corner, and barely stopped when it was close to the two of them.

"What happened?" Ye Huaiyun could read some nervousness from his flustered expression.

"Your Highness, it's not good." Donggong Yingwei said, "Wang Xiangshan is dead!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun were startled at the same time.

It was clear that he was fine this afternoon, and they had already replaced all the guards with people from the East Palace, how could they suddenly lose their lives?

When the two rushed to the Yamen prison, Wang Xiangshan was still lying face up on the ground, and he had only eaten half of the dinner in the bowl in hand, but he was already dead.

"Be clear, what's going on?" Ye Huaiyun immediately called a shadow guard.

"Your Highness forgive me, it's because of my subordinate's ineffective supervision." The shadow guard knelt down on both knees and lowered his head, "But since His Highness left, this subordinate has been staring at him every step of the way, except for someone who came to deliver dinner on the way, and then Nothing else happened, I really don’t know…”

Dinner...Ye Huaiyun looked back at the bowl of leftovers, and ordered someone to hurry to invite him.

Chu Tingyun squatted down next to Wang Xiangshan's corpse, and took the lead in checking it before Wu Zuo came.

"What did you find?" Ye Huaiyun asked him.

Chu Tingyun shook his head, "There is no trace of suicide, nor was he poisoned."

The shadow guard pulled the two assistants up from the bed, and because he thought they were walking too slowly, he simply carried them on his shoulders and ran to the yamen with his lightness kung fu.Wu Zuo also inspected the delivered food first, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, he opened Wang Xiangshan's eyelids and inspected it bit by bit.

After a stick of incense, the two were still playing with the corpse, whispering something from time to time.

"How's the situation?" Ye Huaiyun asked.

The two assistants hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence, which completely exhausted Chu Tingyun's meager patience.

"Say!" he ordered sharply.

Wu Zuo buried his head very low, and said: "The lower officials are incompetent, and the cause of Lord Wang's death cannot be found out."

Ye Huaiyun frowned with a headache, he knew that this matter was far from over.

While contemplating, suddenly there was a cold finger on the corner of his forehead. It was Chu Tingyun who gently rubbed his temples on both sides.

Ye Huaiyun turned around and pulled his hand down, and said wearily, "I'm fine."

Chu Tingyun took a step to the side, and was about to say something, but accidentally kicked Wang Xiangshan's body. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, so he squatted down next to the body again.

The limbs of the corpse were much stiffer than when he checked them just now!

Chu Tingyun stood up abruptly, "Chasing those two masters back!"

"Yes!" The shadow guard immediately took the order, turned and left the dungeon.

Ye Huaiyun naturally sensed something was wrong, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Immediately afterwards, he saw Chu Tingyun slowly pull out a silver needle from the top of Wang Xiangshan's head.

The needle is as long as two fingers of an adult, and as thin as a cow's hair, hidden between the hair, it is almost impossible for anyone to find it.Until the silver needle was completely pulled out, a very thin white nematode was wrapped around the needle.

Ye Huaiyun just took one look at the slowly wriggling nematode, and felt extremely disgusted, "What is this?"

"Gu worm." Chu Tingyun said: "It was planted just now, and I took it out before it entered the brain."

"Just now?" Ye Huaiyun understood, no wonder he was so anxious to recover Wu Zuo.

It's a pity that the sky failed to fulfill people's wishes, and the shadow guard who went to chase people came back and reported: people didn't catch up.

The other party not only knows martial arts, but also has strong martial arts skills, so he just left the Yamen with a few steps, and then heard the city gate guards say that two people left the city gate with tokens.

Looking again, the real work has already been knocked out and left in the closet. I recalled that the last time I woke up was this evening, and then I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my neck and lost consciousness.

Ye Huaiyun clenched his fists with ten fingers, "Damn it!"

Being framed by others again and again, no one has a good temper.

The surrounding shadow guards knelt on the ground, and only Chu Tingyun stood beside him with a sinister look on his brows.

The prison was already gloomy and cold, but now even the air is stagnant and dare not flow, making people shiver slightly due to the oppression.

After a long time, Chu Tingyun suddenly said, "Where is Pan Xiuxiu's body? Lead the way!"

Ye Huaiyun was held by his hand and walked out, "What did you think of?"

Chu Tingyun said: "You will know later."

Inside the mortuary.

There is a clear regulation in the Dachen Law that after the murder body is sent to the Yamen, it must be stored in an ice coffin to ensure that the physical evidence will not be damaged. This is exactly what Wang Xiangshan did.At this moment, Pan Xiuxiu's body was well preserved, the same as when they found it in the forest outside the city five days ago.

Chu Tingyun asked someone to open the lid of the ice coffin and walked directly behind her head.

The same silver needle is also wrapped around the Gu worm, but the worm on this needle is dead.
