The Road of the Queen

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Liu Zihuan drank the wine poured by Yin Yuting in a very face-saving manner.

Yin Yuting raised his eyes to look at that gentle smiling face, his thick black eyes were full of waves: "What is that Zihuan looking for me for?"

The two people touched their wine glasses lightly, toasted and staggered, and then they drank and laughed.

After laughing enough, Liu Zihuan said: "Yin Liulang is indeed a very smart person, so let's get straight to the point."

Yin Yuting said: "Okay, I like to get straight to the point."

Liu Zihuan smiled slightly: "Then first, please ask Yin Liulang to tell the truth about the loss of "Youguo Tongjian", especially..." He paused before saying: "How did Zhuo Jingzhi leak the location of the treasure book? , explain it to me!"

Yin Yuting's eyes brightened after drinking, "So, Zihuan believes that I didn't steal the book?"

Liu Zihuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether Yin Liulang stole the book, or who stole the book. The important thing is that the prince's precious book was stolen."

After hearing this, Yin Yuting understood, the dark light in his eyes flickered on and off.After thinking for a long time, he told him exactly what Zhuo Jingzhi said to him in the carriage to Qingquan Villa that day.

During this period, Liu Zihuan drank happily, and the deeper the smile, the stronger the chill. After listening to Yin Yuting's narration, he said in a low tone: "Very good, very good, let's get to the point. As Yin Liulang said, I think this Zhuo Jingzhi will not tell Yin Liulang where the treasure book is hidden for no reason. Then, we can just plan..." Speaking of this, he leaned over and explained in Yin Yuting's ear.

Yin Yuting lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered his thick black eyes: "I understand what Zihuan said. It's just that I don't understand two things. First, how does Zihuan see that I can't catch the real one?" What about the book thief? Second, why is Zihuan so sure that I will cooperate with you?"

Liu Zihuan smiled very proudly: "First, as I said before, it doesn't matter who steals the book. Naturally, it doesn't matter whether Yin Liulang catches the book thief. Second, I'm sure Yin Liulang will The one who cooperated with me. Isn't it, Yin Liulang?!"

His eyes flickered, and the red mole moved slightly, "Zihuan, in fact, I have already found the real book thief."

………………

The three-day period between Yin Yuting and Cheng Wang Li Chunqiu has arrived.

That afternoon, the crabapple was thick, and the wind from the sun blew into the window facing the lake, making Tingxue Pavilion feel hot and humid.The four people in the pavilion were sweating a lot except Li Chunqiu, especially Zhuo Jingzhi who was kneeling on the ground was dripping with cold sweat and his back was wet.

Li Chunqiu, who was sitting at the top, was not in a hurry to question, but just swept his eyes lightly over the faces of the other three.Liu Zihuan always had a smile on his face, and this time was no exception, the corners of his lips were still slightly curved, and Xingzi's eyes were also full of smiles.Yin Yuting didn't show any expression, but the red mole between his eyebrows was extremely obvious, and it seemed to be more colorful than usual.Zhuo Jingzhi knelt there quietly, still wearing simple and elegant attire, with a slightly trembling body wrapped in a white-washed cloth shirt.

No one spoke, only the sound of breathing could be heard, and the atmosphere was so cold that it was about to freeze.It was only when people were so anxious that Li Chunqiu knocked out monotonous syllables with the suet jade wrench worn on his right thumb, and a deep and deep voice came quietly: "Jingzhi, Yin Liulang said it was you, it really is you!" You?"

Zhuo Jingzhi raised her head, bit her thin lips anxiously, and said in a surprisingly flat tone: "The prince believes in him, or in me?"

Liu Zihuan restrained his smile at this moment, put on a solemn and ruthless expression, and suddenly threw something in front of Zhuo Jingzhi: "Zhuo Jingzhi, I found this from your room, do you still dare to deny it?! "

Zhuo Jingzhi looked down at what Liu Zihuan threw, and it really was the "Tongjian of Youguo".He was stunned all of a sudden, his face obviously turned pale, and his lips changed from a very light color to bloodless.The Adam's apple rolled up and down, but the thin lips parted could not utter a word.

Yin Yuting went over to pick up the "Youguo Tongjian" and dusted off the dirt on it, and then respectfully handed it to Li Chunqiu: "My lord, please see it in person."

Li Chunqiu looked at Yin Yuting meaningfully, but at that time Yin Yuting had already turned his face away, and the eyes of the two did not meet.Flipping through it casually, Li Chunqiu gradually frowned: "Jingzhi, please explain to me."

Zhuo Jingzhi was silent for a while, but after a long time his face was completely gray, and he pleaded with trembling lips: "My lord...it's really not me...I don't know when this book came to my room... .I really don't know..." There was sadness overflowing in the eyes on that ordinary face.

Li Chunqiu sighed inaudibly with his red lips, and then he raised his eyes to look at Yin Yuting.Coincidentally, Yin Yuting also looked back at him.The four eyes met, and with a slight movement of those peach eyes, Yin Yuting nodded clearly.

"Zhuo Jingzhi, on the way to Qingquan Villa, you deliberately revealed to me where the "Youguo Tongjian" was hidden, just to cover up your crime of stealing the book. That day, the prince and I read the book for the last time and put it back. You are the one who sneaked into the Xiyuan study to steal the book and then reported to the prince that I stole the book, right?!" Yin Yuting's words were sharp and cruel, without any emotion Absolutely, the so-called deep friendship on weekdays disappeared in an instant.

Zhuo Jingzhi stared at Yin Yuting in pain, and growled, "Yin Yuting! You villain!"

Yin Yuting was stunned for a moment, as if hesitating a little, but he regained his composure in just a moment.The cinnabar between the eyebrows moved, and the voice was cold and clear: "Zhuo Jingzhi, you still haven't pleaded guilty?!"

Zhuo Jingzhi suddenly raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly, then said viciously to Yin Yuting: "Plead guilty?! Yes, I plead guilty! Yin Yuting, I really want to steal the book. I specially told you where the book is stored to arouse your interest. Curious, after you finish reading this book, I will take the opportunity to steal the book and blame you...but I haven't had time yet...I've been listening to Xuege all morning...I haven't had time yet..."

Liu Zihuan smiled and said: "It is said that you were the first person to find out that the book was lost. You can take this opportunity to hide the book and tell the prince that the book is lost."

Zhuo Jingzhi stared at Liu Zihuan's smiling face with hatred, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Liu Zihuan, you ordered it, right! You ordered Yin Liulang to frame me!"

Liu Zihuan rolled his eyes, looked at his pink fingertips and said with disdain: "The thief shouted to catch the thief, Zhuo Jingzhi, in fact, a person like you who is useless to the prince and only causes trouble should have long ago." He raised his almond eyes, and said word by word: "Get out, get out, king, mansion."

Li Chunqiu, who had been listening silently, flicked the table at this time, with a smile on his face, he asked casually: "Why did you want to kill Yin Liulang?"
