In the dark night, a torrential rain suddenly poured down.The mountains, peaks and forests near and far, and the long and short rivers and canyons all lost their outlines in the sudden rainstorm and gradually disappeared into nothingness. The road ahead is becoming increasingly blurred.The lilacs planted along the mountain road outside Chang'an City were also scattered by the torrential rain. Groups of beautiful flowers were broken in the torrential rain and fell to the mud road. No one saw them in the middle of the night. Huang Zixia trekked on the dark mountain road, the azure oil-paper umbrella in his hand broke two ribs in the storm, and the raindrops penetrated through the damaged umbrella surface, hitting his cheeks straight, as cold as a knife.

She only raised her eyes and glanced, then threw the umbrella on the road without hesitation, and just walked forward in the heavy rain.The raindrops hit the body, and it was extremely cold. In the dark night, the sky was dim, and only the occasional glimmer of raindrops reflected the faint scenery ahead, and the whole world was blurred. At the corner of the mountain road, there is a small pavilion.There is a long pavilion for ten miles and a short pavilion for five miles, which are the resting places for passers-by.In such a dark night and wind and rain, there are three or four people in the pavilion, leaning or sitting, chatting.Chang'an City had a routine curfew, and the city gates were only opened at five o'clock in the morning every morning. It was still early, so they must be waiting here for the city gates to open.

Huang Zixia stepped over the muddy water.She was wearing the most common men's blue shirt. Several people inside turned their heads and saw that it was a slender young man. One of the old men greeted her: "Young man, you also want to go to the city early? You are all wet , sorry to see you, let’s have a warm fire.” Huang Zixia looked at the old man's gentle smile under the firelight, tightened the drenched skirt, thanked him, sat by the fire, two feet away from him, and silently helped add firewood to the fire. Seeing that she just turned on the fire and didn't speak, several people turned their heads and continued chatting. When they talked about all kinds of strange things in the north and south of the river, everyone was even more frothy, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes on the spot.

"Speaking of this strange incident, have you heard of the strange case in Beijing recently?" "Is the old man talking about the case known as the 'Four Plans'?" Someone immediately interjected, "Three people died in a row within three months, and they all lived in the north, south, and west of the city without any connection. People, leaving behind the three blood characters 'Jing', 'Le' and 'I', it's really weird and terrifying!" "Yeah, now it seems that the next bloody case will definitely happen in the east of the city, so now people in the east of the city are panicking. It is said that everyone who can leave has already left, and the east of the city is almost empty."

Huang Zixia held firewood branches with a pair of white hands, and slowly poked the flames, listening to the slight sound of peeling, her face was calm and unwavering. "Nowadays, the world is uneasy, and all the prefectures are in turmoil. Not only the capital, but also a massacre in Sichuan recently. I wonder if you have heard of it?" One of the middle-aged people is obviously a wandering storyteller, with habitual Holding a piece of Xingmu, the conversation was quite good, "Have you heard a lot about the bloody case? But this case is the massacre of Huang Min's family, the envoy of Shuzhong!"

Huang Min. This name caught her ears suddenly, and Huang Zixia's hand that had been calmly poking the fire trembled subconsciously, a little spark splashed on the back of her hand, causing sudden severe pain. Fortunately, everyone was surprised and uproarious, and no one paid attention to her at all. Just using this excuse, everyone chattered: "Isn't Huang Min the servant of the Criminal Department in the middle of Beijing, and solved several strange cases in the past few years. Is that the official governor of Chengdu?" "I've heard about this too! It's said that it's not all done by Huang Min alone. He has a son and a daughter, and his son Huang Yan is nothing more than that, but that daughter is a rare talent. When Huang Min was the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she was responsible for many suspicious cases. She was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she broke the news for her father. The current emperor once praised her personally, saying that if she is a man, she must be a prime minister!"

"Hehe, you're a talented butcher?" The storyteller sneered, "Have you ever heard the rumor that Huang Min's daughter was born bloody, and everyone who saw it said that the white tiger star came to the world and wanted to eat up the whole family?" Now it really comes true, the Huang family's bloody case was committed by the Huang family's daughter!" Huang Zixia forgot the sharp pain on the back of her hand, staring blankly at the dancing flames in front of her.The tongue of fire faltered, licking the darkness, but no matter how red the flames were, it couldn't paint a little color on her pale face.

People around looked at each other in blank dismay, and the old man couldn't believe it: "You said, it's the daughter of the Huang family who wiped out her whole family?" "Exactly!" There is no hesitation in this sentence, and it is decisive. "It's simply absurd. How can there be a daughter who murders her relatives?" "This matter is absolutely true! The imperial court has issued arrest documents at sea, and the Huang family daughter is now absconding from Shu. If she is caught, she will be cut into pieces and die without a place to die!"

"If this is the case, it is truly inhumane and conscience-destroying!" It was the old man who asked again: "I don't know why there are such tragedies in the world?" "A woman's eyelids are shallow, so what can she do for it? Of course it's for the word 'love'," the storyteller recounted vividly, "It is said that she married her husband's family since she was a child, but when she grows up, she has other things. The person she likes. So when her grandmother and uncle came to discuss her marriage, she personally served a bowl of yogurt soup during the banquet. Huang Shijun, Mrs. Huang's Yang family, son Huang Yan, and even her grandmother and uncle were all poisoned. She died, and she escaped alone, missing her whereabouts. The yamen found the arsenic medicine seal in her room, and found out that she had bought arsenic at the pharmacy a few days ago, and it was recorded in black and white. It turned out that she had something in her heart, but her parents Forced her to marry someone else, so she got angry and poisoned the whole family, and invited her lover to elope with her!"

Everyone in the pavilion listened to this tragedy of human relations, and they were amazed in horror.Someone asked again: "Why did this vicious woman escape again?" "She poisoned her parents and family members. Knowing the incident, she asked her lover to elope overnight. However, the other party hated such a wolf-hearted woman, so he submitted her love letter to the government. In the end, the wicked woman somehow noticed something different and ran away Already! Now that the government has issued arrest warrants, and wanted notices have been pasted at the gates of all state capitals, and the Skynet is fully intact, I want to see when this vicious woman will be caught and be punished by death!"

Those who spoke were filled with righteous indignation, and those who listened were indignant. For a while, there was an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred in the entire booth. Huang Zixia hugged her knees and listened, and suddenly felt sleepy and tired amidst the scolding of everyone.She pressed her face to her knees and stared blankly at the dimly flickering fire.The clothes on her body were half dry and half wet. On such a spring night, the cold air pierced her skin like invisible needles, making her half awake and half asleep. It was still early in the morning, the gates of the city had not yet opened, and the conversation of the people around turned to the recent anecdotes and anecdotes in the capital.For example, the emperor built a new palace, Concubine Zhao personally sewed the curtains for the Sanqing Palace, and how many ladies in the capital wanted to marry King Kui, etc., and so on. "Speaking of which, this King Kui, is he going back to Beijing in the near future?" "That's right. The emperor likes banquets. The newly built Li Palace will certainly be lively. But if the banquet in the palace is not attended by King Kui, how can it be called a banquet?" "This King Kui is really the most outstanding person in the royal family, and the previous emperor loved him very much. No wonder Princess Qi Le desperately wanted to marry King Kui. She tried her best several times and became the laughing stock of the capital." "Prince Yi only has such a daughter. I guess he knows it, so he will definitely be mad at her..." When it comes to royal affairs, everyone is naturally talking about it, only Huang Zixia doesn't pay attention.She closed her eyes and rested her mind, seemingly lazy and relaxed, but in fact she was still alert, listening to the movement outside. The rain had stopped, and in the slowly brightening sky, there was a slight sound of horseshoes faintly heard. Huang Zixia immediately opened his eyes, left those people who were frothing, and walked out of the short pavilion quickly. In the faint morning light, the rays of the rising sun are emerging from the sky.Coming up the winding mountain road is a well-ordered guard. Although they have traces of being wet by the rain, they are all neat and alert, and they are well-trained. In the middle of the team, there are two flawless black horses, dragging a carriage slowly coming.Tuanlong and Xiangluan are painted on the carriage, decorated with golden lacquer and decorated with giant clams and beidianzi. Two small golden bells are hanging under the eaves of the carriage. As the carriage moves, it shakes gently and makes a crisp sound. . The chariots and horses passed the pavilion and continued on, Huang Zixia followed from afar. At the end of the line, there was a young soldier, restless in the middle of the march, glancing left and right.When he saw Huang Zixia walking behind the forest, he made up his mind and turned to the people around him, "Brother Lu, I don't know if I got sick from eating last night, I...I'm going to make it easier." "What's wrong with you, you're about to enter the city, can you catch up?" The person next to him lowered his voice and glared at him, "The lord is very strict, if you are found out, you know the consequences!" "Yes... don't worry, I'll catch up right away." Holding his stomach, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and plunged into the dense forest. Huang Zixia brushed aside the chaotic grass, and rushed to the soldier waiting for him. The other party hastily took off the uniform of the palace guard, and took off the helmet for her: "Miss Huang, you...can ride a horse?" Huang Zixia took his helmet and said in a low voice: "Second Brother Zhang, I am so grateful for you taking such a big risk to help me!" "What are you talking about? If it weren't for you, my parents would have died long ago! If I didn't help you this time, my parents would beat me to death," he patted his chest boldly, "not to mention Today, I just went to Beijing with an escort, and it’s not a military mission, so it’s okay to reveal my secrets. Last time, Liu Wu also hired someone to represent him on an errand, but it’s just a few dozen army sticks. You just have to kill me and say it’s my cousin... My cousin My younger brother passed by and saw that I had diarrhea and couldn’t stand up, so he could just accompany me on an errand, and today I just entered the city with a guard of honor, so it’s no big deal.” Huang Zixia nodded, quickly took off his coat and gave it to him, then put on his clothes.Although the clothes were a bit too big, she was slender and looked passable. Saying goodbye to Second Brother Zhang hastily, Huang Zixia flew on his horse and rushed out of the dense forest.
A fiery red morning glow has already appeared in the sky, and the clear and bright red glow slanted across the sky.Huang Zixia urged the horses eagerly, and finally caught up with the guards of the palace when they were in sight at the gate of the city. At the Mingde Gate of Chang’an City, the middle three of the five tall gates were originally closed, and only the two small doors on the left and right were opened. But seeing the prince’s guard of honor coming, he immediately opened the second door on the left to pass through, let alone check the guard of honor. . Huang Zixia was last in line and followed the team slowly into the city.At the moment of entering the city gate, she raised her eyes to see the picture of sea capture posted on the door. On the picture is a portrait of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman. She has bright eyes like morning stars and curvy cheeks like peach petals.The corners of the raised lips curled into a particularly playful arc, her eyes looked ahead and smiled slightly, her expression was light and her brows were clear, she was a very beautiful girl. Next to the portrait, there are a few lines written—— Huang Zixia lowered her eyelashes, but it only flickered slightly, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were fixed and her expression was calm. Most of her face was in the pocket, and Brother Lu next to her couldn't see her face clearly, so he only steered his horse along Zhuque Street while saying, "Fortunately, no one noticed." Huang Zixia nodded and remained silent. Most of the residences of the kings are in Yongjiafang. After passing through Dongshi and heading north along the Xingqing Palace, King Kui's mansion is in the distance. She had discussed with Second Brother Zhang in advance, and after entering the palace and going to the horse prison to tie up the horses, she immediately slipped away in a low-key manner.At that time, everyone will have breakfast in the front yard of the horse prison, and no one will pay too much attention to her. She tied up the horse, turned around and sprinted out of the courtyard.Someone called her: "Zhang Xingying, don't you want to eat?" Huang Zixia pretended not to hear, and slipped out by the door. Brother Lu explained for her: "You won't be having stomach problems again, right? I've had diarrhea twice in the early morning." Everyone laughed at her a few words and then ignored her, and went to eat the breakfast they had prepared earlier. Huang Zixia slipped to the door, lowered her helmet, and walked out. Just as she stepped down the last step, someone called her from behind: "Hey, where are you going?" Huang Zixia wasn't sure if he was calling her, her footsteps stopped in mid-air, and then she heard the man's voice clearly: "Yes, it's you, from the guard of honor. The news that just arrived, the newly completed Li Palace is still there. Send people, this time you are going to leave the palace with the prince." Huang Zixia's heart skipped a beat, she didn't expect her luck to be so bad. I could only hear the other party laughing: "Don't worry, I'll give you three extra coins a day, aren't you bubbling with joy? Hurry up and have dinner, and we'll be leaving later." Huang Zixia had no choice but to turn around slowly, bowed her head to the leader who stopped her, and then leaned against the wall before returning to the front yard of the horse prison.You must not eat breakfast, if your face is seen, everything will be over.However, she couldn't stay in the palace, and she would be doomed if people saw her.Moreover, she has to go out and find someone who can help her—— She stood in the corner, her gaze fell on the carriage that was leaning against the corner after being unloaded.Blinking, looking around, the front yard is full of noise, everyone is eating, and the people in the back yard are busy feeding the horses.There was no one at the corner of the entrance, only she and the carriage stood there. She stepped on the shaft of the car, and carefully opened the half-open door to see, there was no one in the car, only the wide seat and the nailed coffee table.The seat is covered with a cyan Kuilong brocade cushion, which contrasts with the crimson peonies on the dark purple Persian velvet blanket below. Huang Zixia quickly took off her uniform and helmet behind the carriage, stuffed them into the corner behind the stone lantern, and then climbed into the carriage. There is not much space in the carriage, but there must be an open space under the seat. In order to make use of the space, it is usually made into a cabinet to store things.She climbed into the car, lifted the curtain hanging from the seat, and saw that there was indeed a cabinet underneath. Numerous auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts are carved on the door of the cabinet, which can be pushed and pulled left and right.She opened the door of the cupboard and looked, and couldn't help being surprised. There were only a few pieces of spices in it, and it was almost empty. She tried her best to curl up in the cabinet, and gently closed the door, sweating all over from nervousness.The door of the cupboard was hollowed out, but luckily the cloth in front hung down to cover the hole, so she could vaguely see the shadow outside, but she couldn't see the inside clearly from the outside. Huang Zixia lay there quietly, not daring to breathe loudly, but she could still hear her own rapid heartbeat.Countless thoughts quickly flashed through her mind, what if she was taken into the Li Palace?Is the horse prison in the palace tightly guarded?Will I be able to take the opportunity to escape... Before she could think about it, there was a voice outside.Set up horses, dress up, and line up.Then suddenly it became quiet, without even coughing, she was still thinking, only felt a slight movement of the carriage, the door slammed lightly, and someone got into the carriage. Only the man's feet could be seen through the cracks in the cabinet. The black leather Liuhe boots with golden thread and Kui pattern stepped on the thick soft carpet laid on the car, and the footsteps were silent. When the man sat still, the body of the carriage shook slightly, and the carriage had already started. Being stuck in the cabinet for a long time, coupled with the body shaking, it feels like a chick stuffed back into its eggshell.Huang Zixia resisted the feeling of dizziness and desperately forced herself to slow down her breathing so as not to be noticed. Fortunately, the noise of the carts and horses covered up her heartbeat and breathing. It was a long journey, but it finally left the city gate and headed towards the western suburbs.The road was bumpy, and when they reached a small bridge, King Kui on the carriage finally said, "Stop." The carriage stopped slowly by the bridge.From the perspective of Huang Zixia in the cabinet, King Kui's face could not be seen, only he reached out to take a wide-mouthed glass bottle on the small table, and passed it outside through the window: "Add some water." In the glass bottle, there is a bright red fish, dragging its long gauze-like tail and swimming slowly.The glass bottle is slightly blue, and the originally bright red fish in the bottle has turned into a wonderful lavender color, showing a charming and cuteness. Huang Zixia's heart was full of doubts, wondering why this powerful King Kui carried a glass bottle with him and kept a little red fish. He could hear the murmur of running water, and the hurried footsteps of the guards. After a while, the glass bottle was filled with water and handed over.King Kui took the glass bottle and placed it lightly on the small table. The small fish in it swam more happily because of the larger space for movement. Huang Zixia was thinking, when the carriage suddenly started again, she was caught off guard, her forehead hit the cabinet door, and there was a soft bang. She bit her lower lip hard to keep herself from screaming.She was sure that her voice was very small, and the sound of the wheels moving would cover it up, but she still looked out through the crack of the cabinet nervously. The person sitting there couldn't see his face from her angle, she could only see him slowly reaching for the secret-colored porcelain saucer on the table through the drooping cloth corner tassels and hollow holes in the brocade cushion, lifting the teapot and pouring it out. Got a glass of water. Huang Zixia observed the hand through the carved part of the cabinet. In the backlight, he could see his palm. The joints were well-proportioned and slightly convex, and the curve was beautiful. It was a pair of pampered but powerful hands.He clings to the saucer with three fingers, and the green saucer is like spring water reflecting pear blossoms in his white hands. Then he quickly kicked with his toes, pushed open the cabinet door below, and poured a plate of water in. Huang Zixia, who was peeping secretly, was suddenly fascinated by the water, and screamed in a low voice. He threw away the saucer, grabbed Huang Zixia's shoulders, dragged her out, pressed her throat with his right hand, and stepped on her heart with his left foot. In an instant, Huang Zixia lay at his feet like a dead fish. Sadly, the other party hadn't gotten up yet. Huang Zixia was lying on the ground looking up at him, caught off guard and didn't even understand what happened, her face was slightly dazed. She saw the face of the person who restrained her: deep black eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips that were tightly pursed, unconsciously showing a kind of indifference and alienation from the world.He was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, embroidered with dark clouds and dark patterns of blue sky and water. Such mild colors and patterns seemed extraordinarily sparse on his body.That kind of faint indifference makes people feel that only such indifference and detachment can bring out such elegance and elegance. Kui King Li Zi, courtesy name Shu Bai, is the most outstanding figure in the royal family of this dynasty, and even the current emperor admires, "There is Shu Bai in the world, so you will not be lonely."It was rumored that the person who was extremely noble and prosperous, but who knew that he had such a cold temperament.
Li Shubai lowered his eyelashes, and lifted his foot on her heart slightly, as if he felt that she didn't know martial arts.His left hand pressed on her neck moved slightly to make sure that the other party's neck was soft and delicate, without Adam's apple. Huang Zixia quickly raised her hand, pushed away the palm that was pressing on her neck, shrank her body vigilantly, staring at him with bright eyes, like seeing a hunter's cub. Li Shubai's eyes slowly fell on her face, and he looked at her face for a long time, then retracted his feet, opened the drawer of the little table, took out a snow-white brocade handkerchief, wiped his hands, threw it on her body, and smiled slightly. Said with disgust: "As a woman, at least clean yourself up." The Jinpa fell on her, slowly and silently like a cloud. She slowly gathered her ten fingers, seeing through the disguise, before being ashamed, what came to her heart was grief and anger.She looked up at the person in front of her, opened her lips, but couldn't say anything. She has been wearing men's clothing since she was a child, and has been running around with her father and brother. This time she fled all the way from Sichuan to Chang'an. She concealed it very well, and no one ever noticed that she was pretending to be a man.Who would have thought that now he saw through it with a single glance, and was sizing up with such disgusting eyes. After fleeing at night and running around for days, she was indeed haggard; her clothes were dry and wet, wrinkled and sticking to her body, and she couldn't see her original appearance; her face was even more haggard and pale, her hair was disheveled, and she was extremely embarrassed. The noise inside had already been noticed, and someone outside tapped on the car wall: "My lord?" He gave an "um" and said, "It's okay." There was no sound outside.The carriage was still moving forward smoothly, and he asked flatly, "When did you come up? What are you doing hiding in my car?" She blinked her eyelashes slightly, and various arguments flashed through her mind. In an instant, she chose the shortest and most convincing argument in front of her, lowered her eyelashes shyly, bit her lower lip lightly, A thin layer of blush also appeared on the cheeks, and she said softly: "I am... the cousin of Zhang Xingying in the prince's attendant team. He has a severe stomachache in the suburbs today, and he is afraid that he will eat military sticks if he delays his work. , It happened that my family lived there, and when I passed by, he asked me to dress up as him and come over to answer me." "Then why did you show up in my car?" "Because... because I was going to sneak away when I arrived at the palace, but I was stopped, saying that I was going to accompany you to the Li Palace. But when I saw someone else, I was going to reveal my truth, so I had no choice but to make a bad plan and hide in the palace. In your car, I hope to take the opportunity to leave, but who knows...but I was caught..." She was embarrassed and shy, as if she really had to bite the bullet to say these words, with a look of displeasure Confused about world affairs. "Sounds reasonable," he leaned on the brocade mat with a cold expression, "what's your last name?" Her heart sank slightly, but she said without hesitation on her face, "My name is Yang." "Surname Yang?" He sneered, without even looking at her: "Zhang Xingying, ranked second, six feet one inch in length, left-handed, born in Puningfang, Beijing in the second year of Dazhong. Father Zhang Weiyi, originally from Luoyang, started in the second year of Huichang I have been attending the clinic in Duanruitang, Beijing until now; my mother, Feng, was the only daughter of the Feng family in Xinchangfang, Beijing. My elder brother married a daughter of Cheng’s family in Fengyifang, Beijing a year ago, and has no children—you cousin Yang, where did you come from? Came out?" She didn't expect this person to be able to know all the information about a small guard. She was stunned for a moment, and then she could only say: "Actually... Zhang Xingying and I are sworn brothers and sisters, we..." She looked unspeakable, but he Pretending not to know, I waited leisurely for her to continue making up the following words. She didn't know if the person in front of her had understood everything, but now she had no choice but to immediately replace the key points in her lies, and quickly replaced the cousin relationship with an ambiguous relationship, with a shy expression on her face. He said, "I have a very good relationship with Zhang Xingying. I liked playing polo and dressing up as a man since I was a child, so I was worried that he would be punished by the military law, so I had to come here on his behalf. He had a stomachache and I snatched the horse. He can't catch up...that's it." "Then, when you set off to leave the palace, why didn't you choose to tell the team leader these words, and choose a way that would put yourself and Zhang Xingying in a more difficult situation - hiding in my carriage?" He pointed his slender fingers Gently tapping the small table, the slow rise and fall of the fingertips seemed to hit her heart, which made her have an ominous premonition again. Sure enough, he sneered and pierced her words mercilessly: "So, you must have to cover up one thing, which is more serious than you pretending to be my guard, even more serious than being executed on the spot as an assassin .” She was silent, the situation was stronger than others, she was acting on a risky basis, but now she was caught, she had no choice but to wait for his judgment. "A woman, in the suburbs in the early morning, wearing men's clothes, and there are still traces of you traveling in the rain on the clothes. If you say that you and Zhang Xingying didn't discuss the exchange in advance, I don't think anyone will believe it." Seeing her bowing her head and saying nothing, only her thick black eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she looked stubborn, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Stretch out your left hand." She bit her lower lip, and slowly stretched out her left hand with the palm facing upwards. "Everyone's hands record everything he has done in his life so far. Other things can be hidden, but your hands can never be hidden." He lowered his eyes to look at her palm, and finally a faint gleam appeared on the corner of his lips. Smiling, "Your hand tells me that you came from a good background and were smart and enlightened since childhood. There was a change in your life when you were around thirteen years old. You left Chang'an and went to——Shu, am I right?" She looked up at him and tried to calm her voice: "Yes." "There you met the person you like. From your palm prints, it can be seen that you have a cold heart and act decisively. Therefore, for the sake of love, you can do something like massacre your close relatives. As for the method..." He curled the corner of his lips coldly towards her: "Poison." As if a needle had pierced her eyelids, her eyelashes twitched, and her hidden identity was suddenly revealed. She subconsciously gathered her fingers, as if trying to hide a nightmare, pressed her hands on her chest, and stared wide-eyed. Eyes on the person in front of you. And the person in front of her was staring at her, with an expression of pleasure seeing the prey throwing himself into the net: "So your name is——Huang Zixia." She looked down at her palm prints, and the shock at the beginning gradually calmed down.She retracted her lowered hand into her sleeve and whispered, "No." "Which sentence is wrong?" He asked lightly, "Birth experience, murder, or your identity?" "I'm Huang Zixia, but I didn't kill anyone," she said in a low voice, taking a deep breath, "It's even more impossible...to kill my relatives!" He leaned on the brocade cushion behind him, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "You mean, you were wronged?" She knelt in the car and looked up at him. The peony flowers woven on the soft blanket were bright in color. She was just an insignificant bug on the peony petals. Crushed. But she didn't care about the situation of being looked down upon from above. Even kneeling there, she still kept her back straight. When she looked up at him, her expression was calm, but she seemed even more stubborn: "Prince Kui, no one has parents. I am a man and a child." How could it be possible to do such a thing? I came all the way to the capital because of this unjust case. Being wronged is secondary, but I have to avenge the revenge of my parents and relatives, so I fled to Chang'an after all the hard work, looking for opportunities Avenge my parents and relatives. And Zhang Xingying is sympathetic to me, so he will help me even if he is punished, please forgive him for his kindness, and don't implicate him." "A kind heart? Who knows if his kindness helped the wicked?" "If I were a murderer, I can naturally find a place to hide my name, but I can't just hide like this for the rest of my life, otherwise...my parents and relatives will die with regret!" "You don't need to explain to me, you can go and talk to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice," he said indifferently, casting his eyes on the pattern of the brocade curtain next to him, "you can go, I hate being with people who are disheveled , especially in such a small place.” In such a situation, ignoring her would be regarded as being generous to her. Huang Zixia pursed her lower lip slightly, and saluted him.When she raised her head, her eyes fell on the glass bottle. The little red fish in the bottle is still swaying in the water, its long tail is like tulle. She lowered her voice and said softly, "This fish is called Agashni, and it comes from the kingdom of Tianzhu. It is said that it was transformed by a thought of the dragon girl who served in front of the Buddha's seat, and it often appears around people who died unexpectedly." King Kui glanced at the glass bottle, and said calmly, "Really?" "Yes, I have indeed heard people say this before. But in my opinion, this may be a lie made up by people with ulterior motives. There are two reasons. One is that people who can't solve the case fabricate the theory of ghosts The second is that the murderer deliberately spread rumors in order to confuse the public." King Kui finally raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked, "What else?" "The thing that appeared at the scene of the murder should have been ominous, but the prince always brought it with him. Obviously, the relationship between the deceased and the prince should be extraordinary. Moreover, this murder case may still be unsolved." "Then?" She pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "If the prince is willing to help me, I can also find out the truth of the murder case for him. No matter how long ago, no matter whether there are any clues or not, the truth will definitely be revealed to the prince." King Kui raised his hand and held the glass bottle in front of him, looking thoughtfully at the scarlet bloody light on the fish. The small fish swims slowly in the glass bottle without any ripples. King Kui raised his hand to lightly touch the head of the little fish, watched it dive into the water suddenly after being frightened, then slowly retracted his fingers, slowly raised his eyes to look at the person kneeling in front of him, and said, "Huang Zixia , you are so brave." Huang Zixia knelt in front of him, with the same expression as usual, only looking at him with her clear eyes that were as bright as morning dew. "Do you know that even the current emperor has clearly stated that he can't intervene in this matter, but you dare to take the upper body and say that you can handle the case?" When he looked up at her coldly, she realized that he had extremely deep feelings. His pair of eyes looked even more terrifying on that indifferent face. "This matter is taboo in the imperial court, but it was leaked. Where did you hear about this old case, so you plan to use this matter to make a deal with me?" Huang Zixia didn't expect that there were so many vicious waves hidden behind this little fish.She bowed her head slightly to him, but her face was still calm: "Forgive me, my lord, I have never heard of this matter. I just saw this little fish and remembered that absurd statement. The rest, all It's my guess, I really didn't know it beforehand." He put the glass bottle on the small table coldly, looked at her expression: "I'm sorry you don't dare." "But the revealing of the truth in the world does not depend on daring or not, but on whether one can," Huang Zixia said softly, "Listening to what the prince told me, this case must be thrilling and involve a lot, perhaps even more bizarre than the death of my parents. But I think that as long as someone dares to investigate, there will be a day when the truth will be revealed." King Kui did not answer, but only asked, "Since you have come to the capital to avenge your grievances, do you have conclusive evidence to point to the real murderer?" "I..." She remained silent, frowning slightly, "After the incident, I was identified as a murderer and could only abscond outside. But as long as the prince helps me and gives me some time, I believe I can find it!" He slightly raised his eyebrows: "I remember what you said. When you were in Chang'an, you solved several suspicious cases in the capital. Later, I heard that you also solved many problems for your father when you were in Shu. yes?" "……yes." "That's really young, old may not be good. When I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I helped my father solve the unsolved case. Why can't I even find my own enemy?" You can't wash away your grievances, yet you still dare to speak out against this king in an attempt to make a deal with me?" Huang Zixia remained silent.Li Shubai looked at her stubborn look of biting her lower lip but insisting on not making a sound.Although the seventeen-year-old girl was haggard and disheveled, she still couldn't hide her clear and bright face, which vaguely overlapped with some things that had appeared in his memory. So he lowered his voice a little bit, and said: "Huang Zixia, everyone in the world says you are a murderer. If I speak for you, will the world suspect that I have an affair with you? Because I interceded for you and offered you an extrajudicial favor, wouldn't it mean that I used my power to distort the legal principles of the country?" Huang Zixia listened, knelt down, didn't say a word, just bit her lips firmly. Li Shubai didn't even look at her, just said: "You go, I'm not interested in asking about your affairs, nor in disclosing your whereabouts to the Yamen, you can do it yourself in the future." She paused, bowed her head silently, and was about to get out of the car.She already knew that the man on the other side, although he held a lot of power, was not related to her, so it was unlikely that he would help her. It was already a blessing that he didn't call someone to bind her to Dali Temple on the spot. So she could only bend down and kowtow deeply to him.When he was about to get up, the carriage had already stopped slowly, only to hear the guards outside say: "Your Majesty, you have arrived at Jianbi Palace." Jianbi Palace is the newly completed Li Palace. It is located in the outskirts of the capital, only ten miles away from Daming Palace. The time they talked has already arrived. Li Shubai raised the car window and looked outside, seeing that all the kings had arrived and there was a lot of commotion outside, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said: "It seems that people will inevitably find that I was in the car with the female murderer." Huang Zixia said in a low voice but stubbornly: "I didn't kill anyone!" He ignored it, pushed the car door and said, "Come down." She hesitated for a moment, and followed him out of the carriage.A low stool had already been placed under the carriage, and she stepped down on the stool. Before she could stand firmly, she felt a light kick on her knee, and her body fell forward involuntarily. There is a pond in front of it, the lotus leaves that have just been planted are drooping listlessly, and the water is extremely turbid.She threw herself into the water, coughing violently due to the choking of the sewage, lying in the mud in a terrible state of embarrassment, unable to get up immediately. Li Shubai turned his head and said to the maid who came up to him: "This person is clumsy, you get her to wash and let her go back by herself." As for the explanation of whether it is male or female, he didn't bother to say, let Huang Zixia deal with it by himself.
