The Queen's Secret

Qi Yuxin and Meng Gan returned to the old case room, and Lin Qingxuan had already made another pot of tea. Seeing the two of them coming back, they greeted each other with smiles on their brows and eyes, obviously in a good mood.

"We're back! Huh..."

When Meng Gan came back to the old case room, it was like coming home, and he couldn't help shouting comfortably. Seeing Lin Qingxuan's smile, he thought it looked good, so he took another look, but found...

"Sister Qingxuan, why are your lips swollen?"

Meng Gan pointed to Lin Qingxuan's lips, unexpectedly, Lin Qingxuan's smile froze immediately, and his face turned red. Fortunately, Qi Yu didn't pay too much attention to it. Now her mind is full of cases, otherwise she would definitely be able to see Lin Qingxuan's inappropriate.

"I just... ate something spicy..."

Lin Qingxuan seldom ate spicy food, and Meng Gan knew about it, so it was reasonable that his lips were red and swollen because of the spicy food.

"Oh...By the way, sister Qingxuan, we made a new discovery today."

Meng Gan put three ledgers in front of Lin Qingxuan's eyes. All three ledgers were marked on the corner of a certain page, so Lin Qingxuan found them as soon as he flipped through them.

The two of them haven't said anything yet, but Lin Qingxuan is also a smart person, and he already understood it at a glance.

"Chen Erhua...it's Chen Erhua again, so has this Chen Erhua found someone?"

Just looking at these superficial evidences, coupled with some investigations of his own, he has already guessed that there is something wrong with Chen Erhua.

"The person is missing, I have to look for it, why, Qingxuan knows this Chen Erhua?"

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she raised her brows and asked. From Lin Qingxuan's tone, she seemed to know this Chen Erhua, but he disappeared now. This is indeed a bit tricky. Chen Erhua is definitely a key person.

"I also made some discoveries here. Before, we overlooked an important thing, that is, before General Zhenbei returned to the court, there were still several places in the General's Mansion that had not yet been completed, including the kitchen."

Lin Qingxuan looked back at the previous investigation records, and looked back at the building decoration. After she finished speaking, she paused: "The construction businessman at that time, and the foreman who personally supervised the construction was Chen Erhua."

"When was it finished?"

Qi Yu frowned, seeming to connect a lot of things. Before, he didn't think there were too many clues here, so he took a quick look. Now it seems that the clues here are the key.

"Six days before General Zhenbei came back, it was also the fourth day after Deputy General Ling Xian came back."

Lin Qingxuan specifically mentioned Ling Xian, because she was very suspicious of Ling Xian...

If someone wants to tamper with the kitchen and hollow out the kitchen stove, then Ling Xian is indeed the most suspicious person.

"oh, I understand now…"

Qi Yu nodded heartily, understanding Lin Qingxuan's suspicion...

Ling Xian did link up all the evidence and clues, and it seemed that his name appeared in every doubtful place, which made Qi Yu feel confident.

"Tomorrow, I will personally go to Huangchuangmen and ask to go to Xiliang City to find someone."

"Xiliang City?"

Lin Qingxuan was puzzled, why Xiliang City?

"We suspect that Chen Erhua fled to Xiliang City."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan nodded to express his understanding.

"Let's go here first today, the brain should rest."

Qi Yu pressed her temples heartily, and there was a sudden pain there, which was very uncomfortable.

"Are you all right, Yuxin?"

Lin Qingxuan asked anxiously, Qi Yu was so worried about investigating the case that he forgot to sleep and eat.

"It's okay, Meng Gan, you can go back first and have a good rest."

In fact, it was not time to be laid off, but everyone was tired recently, so Qi Yuxin let Meng Gan go back first.

Meng Gan looked at the sky, seeing Qi Yu's exhausted appearance, and immediately felt that there should be no further disturbance, so he complied and left the old case room.

"Is your lip okay?"

Now that Qi Yuxin took a serious look, he did see that Lin Qingxuan's lips were slightly red and swollen. It seemed that a hearty woman had a strange sexiness...

Sexy... At that moment, Qi Yu thought of Zhao Muyan...

It was just that the thought flashed by, and it just lingered for a moment, and it didn't make Qi Yu think deeply at all.

It was Lin Qingxuan who blushed, but she took a deep breath, calmed her heartbeat, and said in a calm tone, "Mmm...it will be fine in a while."

Lin Qingxuan didn't dare to look at Qi Yuxin, but turned his head and pretended to arrange my own clothes, cleverly avoiding Qi Yuxin's gaze.

Qi Yuxin's gaze is too vicious, if she sees it, she may be able to see something wrong, but Lin Qingxuan knows that even if Qi Yuxin knows something, she will not take the initiative to say it, after all, she is a boring gourd .

"Well, let's eat less in the future!"

Qi Yuxin is a person who doesn't like or eat spicy food, and Lin Qingxuan also eats less, so the two have basically the same taste, and there is not much conflict in terms of food.

"okay."

Lin Qingxuan remembered what Tang Yirou did just now before leaving, and insisted on giving her a farewell kiss. Who knew that this kiss would be out of control, if not for both himself and Tang Yirou retaining a sense of reason, I am afraid that it would have been a thunderbolt It was on fire.

That's when the scene where my lips haven't swelled up...

"Go and rest."

Qi Yu's heart obviously wasn't fully focused on Lin Qingxuan, otherwise, even if she couldn't see her blushing, she could still see her ears blushing.

"okay."

After Lin Qingxuan tidied up the table and case, she left the old case room and went to the side room. This time she walked cleanly, if she didn't leave sooner, she would show her feet.

Qi Yu had a headache in her heart. She had been running around too much these days, and she couldn't sleep well at night because she was thinking about the case, and her body was probably overdrawn.

Qi Yuxin decided to lay off early today. Anyway, no one will come to the old case room at this time. She plans to rest early. There are still many things to do next.

Southern Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Fengxi Palace.

Zhao Muyan looked at the food in front of him, stirred the chopsticks a few times in the rice bowl, but didn't pick it up and put it in his mouth, resting his cheek with one hand, he lacked interest.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

Li'er saw that Zhao Muyan didn't seem to have much appetite. Ever since Tang Yirou left today, Zhao Muyan has always been like this, depressed, seems to have something on his mind, and lacks interest in everything, which makes people very worried.

Could it be that Tang Yirou said something that made Zhao Muyan unhappy?

Zhao Muyan didn't seem to hear Li'er's voice, and continued poking at the rice grains in the rice bowl, always thinking about one thing...

Qi Yuxin seems to have a good relationship with the arresting officer surnamed Meng...

How good is it?Do you eat alone?Do you go shopping alone?Would Qi Yuxin smile at him?

"Miss?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

Zhao Muyan just woke up like a dream at this time, looking at Li'er, a little distracted.

"What's wrong with your mother? Is there something disturbing?"

Li'er asked, and Zhao Muyan took a deep breath, hid the gloomy light in her beautiful eyes, revealed a bright color, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel bored."

boring?

"Then why don't I ask Director Qi to come and eat with you?"

Li'er asked, but Zhao Muyan frowned, shook his head, and said, "No need."

Zhao Muyan doesn't want to see Qi Yuxin, at least not now, he doesn't know what it feels like, anyway, it's like a thorn in his throat, like a thorn in his heart, and he doesn't want to see her.

After Zhao Muyan ate a few bites absent-mindedly, he felt that he still had no appetite, so he said, "Let's all withdraw, I have no appetite."

"Ah...that empress, do you want to send the imperial doctor to show you?"

Li'er was worried about Zhao Muyan's health. Although Zhao Muyan didn't eat much on weekdays, he ate very little recently, so he was afraid that Zhao Muyan was unwell.

"No, I'm fine, I just don't have an appetite."

Zhao Muyan looked up at the sky...and if she was called at this time...

Let's disturb her rest again...

The next day, after Qi Yuxin arranged all the things to be done in the day, he and Meng Gan went to Huangshunmen, and after telling Tao Mingyi about the investigation results of the case, he applied to send someone to Xiliang City to look for Chen Erhua. So he arranged for two arresting officers to accompany Meng Gan and set off today, while Qi Yuxin stayed in the capital to interrogate witnesses.

After two days of busy work, Qi Yuxin finally waited for the person she most wanted to see, the former deputy general of Zhenbei General, Ling Xian.

Qi Yuxin received a notice from the emperor's arresting gate that Ling Xian had arrived, so she hurried out of the old case room. Before arriving at the interrogation room, she steadied herself and stood at the door, without the anxiety she had just had. breathe.

After slowly calming down, the tired eyes immediately became more energetic, and they were more sharp, as if they wanted to see through the door.

Qi Yu took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in, and saw a tall and muscular man standing a full head and a half taller than her. He was in his thirties, with a square face, ordinary appearance, and a little Vicissitudes, eyes like torches, when looking at Qi Yuxin, like a blade across Qi Yuxin's face, bringing a murderous aura that can't be restrained on the battlefield, the aura is really extraordinary, making people unforgettable.

It's just that when he saw Qi Yuxin on his originally unsmiling face, he slightly evoked a polite smile, which reduced the murderous look on his face a lot.

"Hello, chief of Qi arrest, I'm Ling Xian."

"Hello, General Ling, it's the first time we meet."

Qi Yu's heart evoked a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and she made a 'please' gesture to let Ling Xian take a seat.

Ling Xian sat down obediently, while Qi Yuxin was still standing, and gave the little arresting officer beside him with a look, indicating that he was ready to start recording the statement.

"General Ling, I'm really sorry that you came all the way here and asked you to come to the emperor's gate right away."

Qi Yuxin smiled helplessly, with full apology, coupled with her appearance, it is indeed hard to make people angry.

"It's okay."

Ling Xian still maintained that polite smile, neither more nor less, but he didn't talk much.

"I wonder if General Ling knew about the case before he came?"

Qi Yu asked casually, but Ling Xian frowned slightly, and said, "No, just tell me that the case of General Zhenbei's disappearance needs to be investigated again, and I hope I can assist."

It was rare to hear such a long sentence from this man's mouth, Qi Yu nodded heartily, and said, "So they didn't tell you, but they were negligent...Actually..."

Qi Yuxin was still standing, palms propped on the table, leaning forward, looking at Ling Xian indifferently.

"The body of General Zhenbei has been found."
