The hero bends down

General Zhenwu garrisoned the southwest and took charge of the power in the southwest, with 20 troops.

Connecting to the southwest is the boundary of Chu State.

The soldiers of the Chu state are strong and the horses are strong, and they have watched the territory of the feudal state for many years.

But Zhong Su didn't know it.

After hearing what Zhong Su said, Long Yi and Zhong Su looked at each other for a while, and smiled "chi".

Zhong Su could hear the meaning in the man's smile, which was disdainful and ironic.

He still stood silently, not even changing his eyes, staring firmly at Long Yi's eyes.

Long Yi walked around the room for a few more steps, flashed a few strategies in his mind, and then smiled at Zhong Su: "You can do it?"

Zhong Su straightened his body without losing courage.

"If you don't succeed, you will succeed." He said.

Long Yi chuckled a few times, but fell silent again.After a long time, he just said: "So, I will allow you."

"After finding the evidence, report back to me first." Long Yi added again, with a serious voice.

He didn't ask Zhong Su what method he used to verify his innocence, he just opened his mouth and gave Zhong Su the right to execute.

"Yes." Zhong Su said.

For a moment, Zhong Su felt that Long Yi was his captain, and almost raised his hands to his temples in a military salute.

After Zhong Su responded, Long Yi stopped pacing, instead picked up a big wooden chair and sat down and said, "Xiao Su, you go to work first."

His words softened a lot.Zhong Su turned around and left without staying for a moment, without any intention of procrastinating.

The emperor stared at Zhong Su's straight back for a while, and said: "Today's events are not allowed to be spread outside, whoever leaks the news, Shang Fangsi's torture tools are waiting."

The eunuch and maid next to her immediately responded.

Long Yi waved these people away, leaving only Cheng Fengnan and himself in the room.

After a while, Ji Munian also rushed over.He saluted first when he entered the door, and then looked at Han Xiuyi's body.

It's an ugly death.

This was Ji Munian's first reaction after seeing it.

Only then did Long Yi stand up again, walked to the corpse, lifted the corpse's clothes, stared intently at the bruises on the corpse, and finally said: "Cheng Fengnan, check carefully."

Cheng Fengnan was so ordered that he no longer restrained himself, looked through the corpse carefully, and finally opened the mouth of the corpse, scraped off the residue of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and compared it with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Long Yi wanted to serve before, Fang said: " Back to the emperor, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is indeed poisonous, but this poison is different from the poison poisoned by Empress Xiuyi."

Long Yi and Ji Munian listened to each other.

"The poison on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is 'Qingmangzhong'. The symptoms of poisoning are abdominal cramps and green spots all over the body. It is extremely uncomfortable, but it cannot be fatal. But if 'Qingmangzhong' is added with 'Shuangyin', the symptoms of poisoning Although they are the same, the pain will intensify and can quickly kill people. However, these two poisons are very difficult to distinguish, and doctors usually confuse the two poisons and ignore 'Shuang Yin'."

Cheng Fengnan said again: "Ms. Xiuyi should have taken 'Shuangyin' first. 'Shuangyin' is a chronic poison. If you get an antidote after taking it, you will be fine."

"In the end, she didn't expect that there was a kind of poison in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Long Yi sneered, "I wanted to frame it, but I didn't expect to take my life instead."

It's so ridiculous that death deserves more than guilt.

It's just that the emperor didn't add the second half of the sentence.

With no expression on his face, he looked at Ji Munian and said, "This matter has something to do with Qu Xuan, so people should keep an eye on it."

"I obey." Ji Munian replied immediately.

"Find out all the people in Yixiyuan who are related to this incident, and check who Xiuyi has been in contact with recently, one by one." Long Yi said.

"Yes." Ji Munian replied again.

After the emperor ordered this matter, he ordered Cheng Fengnan and Ji Munian to retreat, but he turned his head and called out.

"Nighthawk."

"The subordinate is here." Nighthawk's flat voice came from the corner.

"Keep an eye on Miss Zhong, don't make any mistakes." The emperor rubbed the corners of his brows and said.

"Yes." Nighthawk replied.

※※※

There is a reason why Zhong Su said "if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent".

He didn't know whether his plan was feasible, but in order to prove his innocence, he could only do so.

At night, everything is quiet.

Zhong Su picked out a dark suit, put on animal skin boots, and set out from Yixi Garden with a thick rope on his shoulder.

Seeing Zhong Su going out, Ye Ying quickly followed.

Zhong Su's way of walking is similar to that of Nighthawk.The shadow guards pay attention to not revealing their whereabouts, and they specialize in hiding in the dark, and Zhong Su is exactly the same.

If Ye Ying didn't know the key, he might not be able to follow Zhong Su for a while.

Zhong Su quickly walked to a corner outside Linsheng Palace, threw out the rope, and slowly climbed up.

The patrol time of the guards in the palace came and went every quarter of an hour.Zhong Su had already seized the time, stepped on the eaves and roof tiles, bent down and sneaked silently to the main hall of Linsheng Palace.

child time.

A shadow crouched on the roof of the main hall, put its ear against the tiles of the house, and listened quietly to the voices inside.

There was no sound in the main hall, Concubine Xuan in the bedroom must have fallen asleep.

Zhong Su looked at the two maids guarding the entrance of the main hall, estimated for a while, turned over and jumped off the eaves, rolled in the corner to stabilize his figure.

Then he quickly leaned over and rushed out, taking advantage of the shadow in front of the hall, quickly ran behind the two maids, and slammed one of them on the back of the head with his hand.

Before the maid had time to react, she collapsed to the ground, and the other maid saw a pair of bright eyes suddenly appearing in front of her eyes, she was so startled that she wanted to cry out.

Zhong Su took a step faster than her, dodged behind her, and tightly covered the maid's mouth and nose with her hands.

The voice was caught in the throat.

Without hesitation, Zhong Suhao knocked the maid unconscious again, and dragged the two maids to a corner by the side of the hall.

Nighthawk just hid in the corner and watched quietly.

Women rarely have such a speed and such a reaction.

Moreover, this person did not make a sound when he walked, and walked on his toes.This way of walking can be maintained for so long, it should be through long-term training.

After Zhong Su settled the two maids, he flashed into the main hall.

He came to Linsheng Palace every day for half a month, and was familiar with the situation here, so he found the study room in the main hall and started searching.

What Zhong Su was looking for was the Feige letter that Delu received that day.Although he didn't know what was inside the letter, but after Han Xiuyi's incident, he couldn't help but doubt it.

I just hope that Concubine Xuan hasn't processed the letterhead yet.

Zhong Su flipped through the things on the case quickly, but didn't find what he was looking for, then turned his gaze to a small incense burner on the case.

He stared at the incense burner for a while, then suddenly reached out to lift the lid of the incense burner.

There were ashes in the lid, and under the light, Zhong Su could still see a half-burned piece of paper.

Zhong Su immediately took out the paper, put the lid back on the incense burner, and put the burner back to its original place.

He flashed to the window, and by the moonlight, he could see clearly the words on the letter paper.

The paper was half burnt, but Zhong Su could still read the words on it.

"Get rid of Han Min and blame Concubine Qi."

Zhong Su silently looked at the words on the piece of paper, his heart felt cold, and all kinds of emotions surged up, but they were quickly forgotten.

He put the piece of paper in his arms.

※※※

And one hour before Zhong Su sneaked into Linsheng Palace, Haishi.

A sharp arrow shot into the air with a "swish", and there was a whimper in the air.Something plummeted from the sky.

Ji Munian put away his bow and arrow, walked downstairs quickly, and walked to the place where the things fell.

He waited for a long time in the bell tower near Linsheng Palace, and finally waited for the carrier pigeon that flew out of it.

The pigeons are gray all over, and at first glance, it is really difficult to distinguish them in the night.

Ji Munian picked up the pigeon that he shot through the throat, took a small tube from the pigeon's claw, and walked quickly to the emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Long Yi hadn't slept yet, and had already been waiting in the palace for a long time.

Seeing Ji Munian's arrival, he took the letter box presented, opened it to look through it, and then said with a smile: "What a Qu Ji, what a Qu Xuan, I didn't touch you, but dare to touch my people first."

Ji Munian lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you change now?"

Long Yi paused, and said: "Although I ordered it, the sudden death of Han Xiuyi may not be concealed. Sooner or later, the Han family will know about it."

Ji Munian said: "In this way, will General Zhenwu seek refuge with Qu Yu?"

Long Yi said: "It was possible in the past, but it's a pity that Qu Huan's calculation was wrong." He snorted again and said, "Qu Huan had intended to bribe Han Tianxiao, but if Han Tianxiao knew that his daughter died in the In Qu Ji's hands, I don't know how to react."

Ji Munian knew what Long Yi was thinking, and said, "Then this letter..."

Only then did the emperor laugh and said, "Make a copy of Qu Xuan's handwriting, and then find another pigeon who knows the way and release it."

Ji Munian took the order and went.Not long after, Yeying came in from the front of the hall again, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhong has already come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Long Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So fast?"

This is really unexpected.

The emperor asked again: "What did she do?"

Yeying said: "Ms. Zhong went to Linsheng Palace and stole a letter."

The emperor was even more surprised: "How did she steal it?"

Yeying recalled what Zhong Su did: "Climb the rope and walk along the eaves to Linsheng Palace, knock out the night watch maid, and sneak into the study to steal it."

The shadow guard's words were concise and to the point, but the emperor remembered the word "climbing the rope".

climbing rope.

Monkeys and wriggling bugs.

The image of Zhong Su climbing up and down the tree trunk during the day appeared in the emperor's mind again.

Why is this person such a wonderful flower.

And it lasts forever...

While he was thinking, Defu had led Zhong Su to meet the saint.Nighthawk rolled over onto the beam and hid in the darkness.

The people outside the hall were dressed in dark clothes.Long Yi looked at the figure walking in, the night covered most of this person's face, if he only saw the way this person walked, the emperor almost thought this person was a man.

Such an illusion flashed in Long Yi's mind, and Zhong Su had already walked into the main hall of Yangxin.

The emperor was looking at Zhong Su, and the thoughts in his heart were once again in a mess.

People are always different, and strange flowers are always special.

Ji Munian was ordered to act, whether it was assassination or spying and surveillance, he always kept himself clean.

And this person in front of me...

Why is the person in front of me stealing something, half of his face is covered with dust and dirt, as if he has rolled in the dust?

Most importantly, this person is a woman!

Still the emperor's concubine!

Long Yi felt that his curiosity about Zhong Su's temper had turned into a helpless headache now.
