The phoenix pattern is surging

This woman has a deep mind, and he is afraid that even the concubine Xian will be difficult to reach, so he naturally cannot trust her, but it seems that she really has to rely on her to escape now.

When Beiye sent troops to Danfeng, Danfeng would definitely not be caught without a fight, and it was inevitable to send troops to Xiping, even with Dongyue waiting for an opportunity.

From this point of view, it is perfectly normal for the battle to be tense. Even if Jiang Jue has three heads and six arms, and no matter how strong Bei Ye is, it is difficult to resist the crowd's encirclement and attack.

No wonder Su Mo wasn't in a hurry to attack him, it turned out that Jiang Jue was determined and now he was out of skills.

In a moment of silence, he dealt with the matter inside and out, looked straight at the other party, and asked: "Then, does the matter of the imperial garden have anything to do with you?"

Zhao Yan glanced at him with a deep smile, and said, "It's irrelevant, is there a difference now?" Not long after, it seemed that the other party's expression was too serious, she smiled coquettishly, and said, "Of course...it's irrelevant."

"Besides, I can tell you that the servant of the accomplice is in the Palace of Yong'an. If His Highness can find him, you might as well hand it over to me."

Li Ran nodded, as if he really believed in it, and finally raised his glass to the other party, saying: "In this case, it is better to obey than to be respectful."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, but each had their own thoughts.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend, a blessing or a curse, everything is unknown.

Danfeng's changes can be said to affect the whole body. While Su Mo was busy dealing with state affairs, he was also troubled by Si Wei's advice.

This night, when the night was dark and dew heavy, when he came to Yong'an Hall in the dark, Li Ran was not asleep. He opened the curtain and entered. Doubtful, but not in a hurry to ask questions, just waiting for the other party to speak.

Li Ran straightened the sleeves of his toga, and said straight to the point: "That matter has nothing to do with me." After a pause, he continued, "Give me a day, and I will find out who is going to plant the blame."

Su Mo was slightly taken aback, glanced at the maid who was waiting aside, and said, "Did you say that?"

Cui Ling panicked, knelt down to plead guilty, Li Ran raised her hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with her, you go down first, Cui Ling."

He waited, but Cui Ling didn't dare to respond, and it was Su Mo who waved his hand, and the little maid retreated. Su Mo sat down beside him, frowned and said, "Even the Prudential Division has no clue about this. How do you check?"

"I have a way."

He looked calm and composed. Su Mo raised his eyebrows and stared at him for a while, then finally leaned over and asked with an unpredictable expression: "What can I do? Is it because I want to take advantage of the opportunity to play tricks?"

Li Ran sneered to himself, and said calmly, "I'm trapped with my hands and feet, and I'm in trouble. What else do you think I can do? Although I'm not afraid of death, I don't want to die without knowing why."

Su Mo curled his lips into a smile, swept away the dignified expression just now, and said, "This is really like what you would say. I never thought that you are in my harem, but you know everything about the court."

"Some things don't need to be inquired too clearly, you can understand them after thinking about them."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Accidents happened one after another in the first few days after I came here. It's too far-fetched to call it a coincidence. Is there a problem with self-protection for safety?"

The other party nodded, with a very appreciative expression on his face, Li Ran continued: "You and I both know what's the use of saving my life, and I don't want to die at all, so let's just reciprocate and reciprocate."

"Mutual benefit and reciprocity? It's a new word, but who said that I keep you for use?" After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party's answer, he leaned forward on his own, squinted his peach blossom eyes and said, "Are you worried enough?" Wrong, someone has told me today that you must not be fooled by beauty, do you think this is true?"

"It's not without reason."

"But with such beauty in front, how many people can resist?"

This question seemed to be a question, but Li Ran shook his head and said calmly: "That's not necessarily the case. As the saying goes, different eyes see different things, and it depends on whether this thing suits your taste."

He spoke in a serious manner, Su Mo was stunned at first, then he clapped his hands and smiled, the laughter echoed in the hall, so joyful, even Gong Huai'an couldn't help being moved,

"Then guess what I like?"

"..."

"Hehe, so you understand."

The other party teased lightly, but Li Ran nodded uncharacteristically, made a statement, and said calmly: "Yin Chen said something very interesting, do you want to listen to it?"

Su Mo gave a suspicious look, with surprise in his eyes, raised his eyebrows to signal him to speak, Li Ran chuckled, and said: "He said, combing in the willow wind, the fragrance of yao grass and exotic flowers is all over the ground, it's all about love."

After Fang finished speaking, Su Mo's hand holding the teacup shook, killing intent flashed in his eyes, and then he threw the teacup on the ground with a bang, and the fine gold-plated porcelain bowl shattered to the ground.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear this a second time!"

This sound was cold to the bone, and after speaking, he walked away without looking back, Li Ran looked at the slightly stiff back, and laughed silently.

Although he still doesn't know how much Liu Feng has in Su Mo's heart, just mentioning it can make the other party go crazy, so it must not be the love at 01:30.

In this way, it can be used for a while.

When the moon was in the sky, Cui Ling walked in and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

Li Ran nodded, put aside his worries for the time being, and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we are all waiting in the outer hall."

"What about things?"

"It was also prepared early in the morning."

He nodded in satisfaction, put on a toga embroidered with dark patterns and went out, sat down on the high chair, took a sip from the teacup in his hand, smiled halfway through his mouth, and said, "Have you all heard about the imperial garden? "

When Fang finished speaking, everyone nodded.

"I know everyone is having a hard time these few days, but if you can't find the real culprit, you will suffer an extra day."

While talking, he winked at Cui Ling, Cui Ling understandingly uncovered the red cloth in the wide box on the case, it turned out to be a box of gold, shining dazzlingly under the red candle.

When everyone looked at it, their eyes changed. Li Ran smiled and clapped his hands. After a while, he saw two little inner eunuchs carrying a large black leather jar into the hall in baskets, and put it in the center of the hall. He looked at the jar, and then at the person seated, wondering or surprised, but heard Cui Ling say: "This black jar is filled with living water that guides the immortals, and innocent people will be fine after washing it, but if it is As soon as the real murderer touches it, there will definitely be red fierce lines appearing on the back of his neck."

After she finished speaking, one of them timidly asked: "What if this method is not allowed?"

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. Li Ran glanced at the man with a smile, as if he had no intention of explaining, but he saw Cui Ling bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, can you let the servant first?" try?"

"Alright."

He nodded, Cui Ling bowed, turned around, walked to the black pot, under the supervision of the two inner eunuchs, stretched his hands in and stroked it a few times, then turned back, knelt down at Li Ran's feet Next, brushing away his long hair, Li Ran glanced at it with a smile, then waved to the group of people behind him, and said: "Anyone who doesn't believe it, you can come and have a look."

The bolder ones immediately leaned over and saw that the snow-white neck was clean without any traces. They all sighed secretly. Li Ran glanced at everyone with a deep smile, and said, "I see everything clearly, do you have any questions?"

In this way, no one said anything.

"Since there is no problem, let's start." After speaking, he smiled and held the green bell, knocked on the corner of the golden tray, and said, "Come, get the reward yourself."

Everyone looked at the situation, swept away the hesitation just now, and ran forward one after another. After everyone had washed the "fairy water" one by one, Li Ran gestured to Cui Ling and said, "Do you know what to do?"

Cui Ling nodded, glanced at the crowd, and picked one person to lead to the side hall. Everyone was puzzled and whispered to themselves. Li Ran sipped a sip of tea to clear his throat, and said, "Don't be afraid if you haven't done it before. Don't worry about your hands and feet." Chaos, everything will be decided by God's will."

Everyone agreed, and the hall was dark and quiet. He sipped his tea boredly, feeling that he had nothing to do, so he simply picked up the book at hand and read it carefully, letting the dozens of people do what they should do.

In this way, a group of people came in and out, and quickly checked it all over.

A moment later, Cui Ling led the last person back from the side hall and pouted at Li Ran angrily. Li Ran followed her gaze and finally landed on a small inner eunuch. He coughed lightly and asked, "Who is Wei Zhao?" ?”

After Fang finished speaking, a person came out of the row with a pale face. It was the person who asked the question before.

"It's a slave."

"So it was you." He smiled silently, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you guilty?"

"Your Highness, the slave doesn't understand."

"Cui Ling, take the candle away so everyone can see clearly."

"Yes."

Cui Ling held the candlestick and went over, brushing away the man's braids, everyone leaned over to have a look, they all gasped in surprise, but it turned out that there was a bright red fierce character on the back of the man's neck, it was Xiping. character.

Everyone was terrified, and they all said they were ghosts and gods.

In fact, these inner eunuchs grew up in the palace, and they were isolated from the world. Even a street performer in pediatrics might not be able to see through it, let alone such a trick.

Now that the gods appear, who would dare not believe it, even the guilty Wei Zhao trembled with fright after seeing the shocking expressions of the others.

Li Ran beckoned, asked Cui Ling to go over and obey, and then took the order to leave. After a while, a clanging sound resounded outside the hall, and two men in armor were led in, gesturing to the person on the seat After that, the little inner prisoner was suppressed.

Everyone was surprised or happy, Li Ran sat calmly, sighed secretly, wondering if that kid would survive after tonight?

The next day, the story of ghosts and gods catching evil was widely spread in the Xiping Harem. The inner eunuch "suicide in fear of crime" in prison at night, this was more or less expected by Li Ran. .

There are actually quite a few things he has to worry about now.

It has been three days since Su Mo set foot in the Yong'an Palace again after he left with his sleeves thrown away that day. After entering the palace, he remained silent, with a strange look in his eyes, and finally frowned slightly, and said, "I heard that the imperial concubine came to the palace a few days ago. Seek you?"

"Yes."

"Aren't you afraid of making me jealous?"

"If you don't do anything, you won't doubt it?"

"Hehe, no matter what you do now, it will be futile, not to mention that man is too busy to take care of himself now, do you think he can save you?"

The other party's eyes were sharp, Li Ran snorted coldly to himself, and continued to eat with a calm face, his mind was going back and forth, Su Mo was not annoyed, and just sat down beside him with a relaxed expression.

"The servant who caused you to commit suicide has committed suicide. This is the end of the matter... As for what the imperial concubine said to you, you don't have to worry about it."

Hearing this tone, it seemed that there was a lot of inside information, and he didn't want to ask any more questions, he only half tested and half clarified: "She is in charge of the harem, so it's okay to ask a few questions."

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, seeming to agree deeply: "That's good. Although she is arrogant, she also knows how to measure."

Know how to measure?

He sneered silently in his heart, and thought to himself that Zhao Yan was really trusted by him, and could reassure Su Mo, who was so suspicious, that she was really not a simple person. As for what kind of tricks she wanted to play, he didn't want to know or care, the only thing he cared about was Yes, it was just the transaction between the two of them.

He was thinking to himself, when Su Mo smiled and said, "Forget it, don't say those spoilers, are you interested in having a drink with me tonight?"

"you are happy?"

"Hehe, of course it is. Of course, if you are willing, I will be more happy..."

I couldn't hear these words clearly afterward, but it wasn't a good thing to think about. Li Ran glanced at him lightly and said, "I'll drink."

After he finished speaking, Su Mo laughed loudly.

"It's strange to accept fate like this, but I like it."

After finishing speaking, she knocked on the table with her fingers, and after a while, Cui Ling came in with a tray, seeing the situation of the two people, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today."

Now that everything is going well for Su Mo, and he is accompanied by a "beauty", it can be seen that he is in a good mood. He raised one side of his peachy eyes and said, "Why do you see that?"

"It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Your Majesty is naturally happy now that everything goes smoothly."

She was well-behaved, clever, with a very sweet mouth, smiling eyebrows, very cute, even Li Ran was infected with a trace of cheerfulness, and his expression stretched a lot.

Seeing the change in his expression, Su Mo became more and more kind and kind, responding to everything, talking and laughing without any scruples, drinking one cup after another, as if he was getting drunk.
