The Crown Prince is Actually a Princess!

"After the murderer killed someone, he escaped from the window without knowing it."

Murongci walked to the window and pointed to the shoe print, "Come and see, although the shoe print is very light, it should be a man's shoe print."

Shen Zhiyan walked over and took a look, frowning: "The murderer killed Master Li, did he want to kill him?"

Her eyes were cold, "It should be. The seller of Afurong ointment learned that the man who had traded with the person who bought the Afurong ointment had been captured, and worried that we would find out Master Li and the servants of the Li family, so we would act first and kill Master Li. . In this way, the clue is broken."

He nodded heavily, "The Li family servant was sent by Master Li to buy Afurong anointing. I asked. He was ordered by his master to do the work, and he didn't know what he brought back. Therefore, he escaped. "

She looked at Master Li on the bamboo couch, and said, "Master Li's figure is no different from ordinary people. It shouldn't take long for him to take Afurong ointment."

At this time, a group of women rushed in and shouted: "Master...Master..."

Some were grief-stricken, some were shrill and miserable, and some were crying. After all, there were five women and housekeepers.

Murongci looked over, and the three who leaped in front of the couch should be Master Li's wives and concubines, and those who stood at the back should be the beautiful daughters of flowers.

"Master, how could you leave me just like this? I haven't passed the door for two years, and have never given birth to you. What should I do if you die? You teach me how to live?" The youngest concubine Only four or five years older than Li's daughter, crying hoarsely, the sharp voice almost pierced the sky.

"Master, you died so miserably, I will definitely redress for you." Mrs. Li said with a firm expression and angrily said.

Murongci saw that Mrs. Li, who wore gold and silver, was dignified and contemptuous of the youngest concubine. She seemed to dislike her crying and snatching the ground in such a place with outsiders, just because of outsiders. It's not good to be instructed.

But I didn't see the Li Gongzi who spent the whole day drinking and drinking. It must be in which Qinlou Chu Hall Yihong Cuicui was.

The female relatives were sobbing and sorrowful, hanging Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci aside.

The steward introduced to Mrs. Li: "Madam, these two are officials of Dali Temple."

Mrs. Li stood up and bowed to them, "I saw the two officials and made them laugh."

"If it weren't for the two officials who came to the mansion to find the master, and forcibly broke into the study, the villain didn't know that the master had already..." the butler wiped his tears.

"Two officials, my master died so miserably, you have to avenge my master." She cried, her expression sad.

Then, the concubines of the Li family and their daughters talked about vindication, and they were so noisy that Murongci's head was big.

Shen Zhiyan said: "Ms. Li, please rest assured, this officer will find out the truth and bring the murderer to justice. By the way, Mrs. Li, don't you know that Master Li is in the study today?"

Mrs. Li replied: "About an hour ago, the master said that he was going out, but after that I didn't see him. I never thought he was in the study..."

The housekeeper wailed: "The villain watched the master walking towards the door. The villain doesn't know when the master will come back."

Others also said that they did not know that Master Li had not been seen in this hour.

Shen Zhiyan and Murongci looked at each other, which is strange. Master Li went out and came back quietly, hiding in the study to smoke Afurong ointment?

"What is unusual about Master Li's words and deeds recently?" she asked.

"Master, as usual, go out to shop in the morning and come back in the afternoon, sometimes later." Mrs. Li replied.

"Master can eat and sleep, it's no different," the concubine in her early thirties replied.

"If you think about it carefully, the master for more than half a month is a bit unusual." The youngest concubine tilted her head slightly and recalled, "The master's favorite fresh fruit concubine doesn't laugh too much, the master's favorite. It’s been a long time since Yang Zhenwan looked at it... the master’s complexion is not as good as before, and he yawns all day. I let him sleep for a while and he doesn’t sleep, so he goes to the study."

"People always change. What's so strange about this?" The concubine in her early thirties rolled her eyes contemptuously, and said bitterly, "After the freshness has passed, I will naturally get tired."

This word meant a pun, referring to the youngest concubine.

When the young concubine heard the words, her small face immediately turned red, followed by a burst of blue and white, and finally turned pale.

Shen Zhiyan asked again: "Other than that, what is unusual?"

The housekeeper shook his head, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "The master goes out to visit the shop, and usually does not go back to the house to eat at noon. This has been the case for more than ten years. In the past two weeks, the master has returned to the house to eat almost every day Just stay in the study room after the meal, and don't let the villain bother you."

Murongci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, so it can be concluded that Master Li took Afurong ointment for more than half a month, and he was also secretly smoking in the study.

After asking a few more questions, they left.

Back at Dali Temple, they immediately arraigned Li's servant.

"Master Li asked you to go to Qingyang Alley how many times?" Shen Zhiyan asked.

"Three times, the villain remembers three times." The servant was an honest man. He had already lost his three souls and seven souls when he was caught by Dali Temple. How dare he conceal something?

"In addition to visiting shops, where does Master Li like to go to have fun? For example, which tea house likes to go to drink tea, which shop like to go to see jade, calligraphy and painting, etc." Murong Ci asked coldly.

The servant thought for a while and replied: "The master likes tea, but he doesn't like to go to the teahouse. The master is arty, but he likes to buy some calligraphy and painting, and try to go to Cuiwei Pavilion to see calligraphy and painting, but he won't go anymore. Oh, right, The master likes jade recently and has bought several valuable jade articles."

She seemed to think of something and asked: "Which jade shop did you buy the jade?"

He scratched his head, "Rong Xiaoren think about it... By the way, the villain remembered that it was Linglongxuan."

Murongci was shocked and looked at Shen Zhiyan, who was Linglongxuan again.

Is it a coincidence, or...

"Master Li goes to Linglongxuan to buy jade, how long does it usually take." Shen Zhiyan didn't know why he would ask such a question.

"It's strange to say that once the master said that he would go to Linglongxuan to see jade, and he would come back for two hours," said the servant.

Shen Zhiyan and Murong Ci came out of the cell and came to the backyard porch, both looking thoughtful.

At this time, she had a lot of thoughts, but she wanted to clarify it, but she couldn't make sense. "Linglongxuan looks like a jade shop that is nothing worthy of fun, but it is full of weirdness. Master Li really watched jade in Linglongxuan for two hours. , Isn’t that weird?"

"Does Linglongxuan have anything to do with the sale of Afurong ointment?" He stroked his chin to ponder, his brows frowned into two hills.

"It seems necessary to go to Linglongxuan." Murongci didn't tell the inextricably related relationship between Linglingxuan and the military supervisor.

"His Royal Highness, if Linglongxuan is really related to this matter, then it is Longtan Tiger Den, and you can't go to it recklessly." Shen Zhiyan suddenly raised his eyebrows and said excitedly, "By the way, I will go to the dealer and Gan's house to ask whether Master Zhuang and Da Gan were born before I have been to Linglongxuan. Your Highness, go back to the East Palace first, and wait for my news."

That's fine, please verify before you act.

She left and returned to the East Palace, and met Qin Ruo, who was looking for her.

Qin Ruo whispered: "His Royal Highness, Young Master Rong has news."

Murongci was surprised and happy, and rushed to Shu Yuxuan.

In the elegant room of the bamboo building, Rong Zhan waited for a long time, boiled fragrant tea, iced fresh fruits and exquisite pastries, all available.

She pushed the door in, and he immediately got up to greet him, bowed his hands, and was very respectful and thoughtful.

"Young Master Rong, what are you doing?" Qin Ruo joked with a smile.

"I was too negligent to let the owner get involved in the danger last time. Today, I am here to plead guilty." Rong Zhan was slapped in white, relaxed and relaxed, and smiled.

"You know what you know." She smiled.

Murongci sat down with a smile and looked at the food on the table. He suddenly felt that the temple of the five internal organs was empty, and immediately picked up the pastries, melons and fruits and ate them impolitely.

Qin Ruo smiled and said, "Didn't Master Rong say there is good news?"

He motioned for the two to drink tea, and said: "Owner, I finally found out about Linglongxuan."

"Oh?" Murongci was pleasantly surprised, "Speak quickly."

"Linglongxuan specializes in jade, in fact, this is just superficial skills. Linglongxuan's secretly doing things..." His voice became lower and lower, his expression secretive.

As she listened carefully, her eyes became brighter and colder.

Qin Ruo covered her mouth in surprise, "I can't imagine Linglongxuan doing these things secretly."

Murong frowned inexplicably, "Aren't these not allowed to operate? Are there still gambling halls and Qinlouchu halls in Beijing? Why should Linglongxuan be covered?"

Rong Zhan picked up his teacup and took a sip. "That's what I've found right now. Most of the guests of Linglongxuan are wealthy and wealthy and officials. If people know that officials are playing like this, it will damage the reputation and future of the officials."

Qin Ruo nodded, "It does damage the official voice."

Her cool eyes condensed in one place, "Wan Fang and Wang Tao went to Linglongxuan to play these?"

"What's the plan of the owner?" Seeing her expression resolute, he knew in his heart.

"Linglongxuan is too mysterious, it seems we are going to take a trip." She curled her lips and smiled.

"I will accompany the owner." He immediately volunteered.

"The minion is waiting for you outside." Qin Ruo said.

...

At the beginning of the lanterns, the market is still lively and noisy.

Brightly lit, a luxurious carriage slowly stopped at the door of Linglongxuan.

The guy in the shop had sharp eyes and immediately came out to welcome the guests. Seeing the two young men in golden clothes and beautiful clothes getting on and off the carriage, the guy's face smiled like a flower, "The two young men are here to appreciate jade? Please inside please. I just got a new batch of goods yesterday, and they are all exquisite carvings. You must see this excellent jade carving."

The two handsome and personable sons entered the shop, looked around the shop, and did not speak.

"What kind of jade do you want, can you tell the younger one?" The dude was a little anxious when he met these two cold guests.

"What's so good about the jade carvings here? It's all over the whole house in my mansion." The thinner young man said contemptuously.

"Don't mind me, my cousin is above the top. It has always been like this." Another young man laughed. "Today I will take him out to play some fresh and interesting things, so I won't be able to appreciate jade or something."
