Chapter 469

Nangong Yizhi was taken to the study, while Ling Muer stayed behind to appease his family.

When he saw Shangguan Shaochen's extremely gloomy face, Nangong Yizhi was so frightened that his heart, liver, spleen and stomach trembled, "Cousin, don't be angry, I am also worried about my sister-in-law's safety, think about it, what if she If something really happened inside, her family can still..."

"Shut up!"

Shangguan Shaochen scolded angrily, "With me here, nothing will happen to Mu'er! What did you want to say about her family just now?"

Nangong Yizhi swallowed, and hurriedly swallowed the word "last side" back into his stomach in fright, "Yes, yes, my cousin is so capable, even if my sister-in-law really kills someone, she can get away with it , ah no no no, how could my sister-in-law kill someone?"

"Do you know where this came from?" Shangguan Shaochen was too lazy to listen to his explanation, turned around and handed over a button.

"What's this?"

Nangong Yizhi played with it, and suddenly punched him, "Didn't you say that you found nothing and found no clues?"

"You can kill people in the harem without being discovered, and even put the blame on the second prince and concubine of the current dynasty. We don't know where this person has planted anyone. If it were you, you would meet everywhere in a grand manner." People say they found a clue?"

Shangguan Shaochen rolled his eyes at him, then looked him up and down, mocking him, "Ah yes, as far as you are concerned, you can indeed do such stupid things."

"Hey, I said cousin... how can you say that about me?"

Nangong Yi was angry, he shook his robe with both hands, and raised his chin proudly, "I think Nangong Yizhi is also one of the three young masters in the capital. When you say that, I'm an ass?"

"You said that."

Shangguan Shaochen snorted, grabbed the button in his hand, and walked to the book.

"Hey, I haven't looked carefully yet." Nangong Yizhi didn't know what he was going to do, so he hurriedly followed.

I saw that he had already taken out the paper, inkstone, pen and ink, and began to paint on the button.

It took about a cup of tea, and he had already drawn the front and back of the button on the paper, subtly warped, almost exactly the same,

"A court painter who was delayed by the prince, cousin, your painting skills are amazing!"

Nangong Yizhi gave him a thumbs up, and took the drawn button paper in his hand, "However, what do you draw it for? Didn't you just say that we can't make a big claim that we have found evidence? Why, now I plan to post this thing, cousin, are you stupid or am I stupid!"

"What do you say!"

Shangguan Shaochen snorted again, sat on the chair, and looked at the buttons carefully, "The texture and texture of the buttons are top-grade, and they should be used by people of noble birth, so people under the concubine can be excluded. Father, Queen There are three thousand beauties in the palace, but there are less than a hundred people who have been canonized as concubines, we plan to investigate one by one."

He raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Yizhi, "I'm afraid this matter will trouble my aunt."

Nangong Yizhi instantly understood his voice-over, "The harem is important, and men are not allowed to enter. Even if I want to help, I don't have this status, but the concubine mother can come and go in and out of the harem at will. Don't worry, the concubine mother will never refuse your affairs." of."

But he felt curious, "However, so many people above the concubine have to be checked? Isn't it too time-consuming?"

What he meant was simple, who might be the murderer, it was enough to focus on the investigation, why waste energy on unnecessary people.

"Did you forget how Qin Ruochen stood up in such a short time?" Shangguan Shaochen reminded.

"If it weren't for his original evidence, would you believe that an unknown and impossible person would have mastered the evidence of Qin Xuanting? Then, why is it impossible for others to kill Concubine Yi?"

How many women in the harem can truly be favored by the emperor?

But in order to get the favor of the emperor, there must be no small number of people who resorted to some means.

If some people want to take the opportunity to stand out and plan something in the bedroom that no one has discovered, who knows!

In the harem, although there are intrigues and eyeliners everywhere, no one will pay attention to an unfavored concubine. If she wants to plot something, it is very easy.

"Don't worry, I'll take this back to my concubine right now." Nangong Yizhi was about to leave with the painting.

"Wait." Seeing him stop, Shangguan Shaochen hurriedly snatched the painting over, "Aunt thinks it's rare to enter the palace, and you openly let her appear in the harem to search, what's the difference from posting this painting? We need A suitable opportunity, this matter cannot be hasty."

"What you said is correct, but you are not afraid that the murderer will find out that you have lost the button?" Nangong Yizhi gave him a blank look, as if to say with a haughty look of raising his jaw: So there are times when you are so stupid.

"So we have to move fast, time is running out."

Shangguan Shaochen didn't bother to care about his little complacency, "Later, let your aunt enter the palace as a way to take care of the emperor, and let her persuade the emperor to let her stay in the palace anyway, so that she will have a reason to stay in the palace normally , and it’s easier to investigate.”

"Only the mother and concubine to investigate?" Nangong Yizhi was a little worried.

Although the mother and concubine are a little tough and have some skills, but the harem is a big whirlpool, mixed with fish and dragons, what if they are in danger?

"The emperor has handed over the power of thorough investigation to the third child. Mu'er and I will assist the third child to conduct the investigation in an open and honest manner to distract the murderer's attention, while my aunt and Princess Xiaoyao will investigate secretly. Although we are not many people, we can If there are less than a hundred people, I believe it will be easy."

Nangong Yizhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay."

However, when he turned to leave, he was stopped by Shangguan Shaochen again.

"Cousin, didn't you just say that the situation is critical and you need to hurry up? What are you going to do?"

Shangguan Shaochen did not speak, but raised his chin, "There is only one button to be used as evidence, and it cannot be taken out for others to observe. There is only one painting, if you take it away, it will be gone."

"So?" Nangong Yizhi blinked his eyes.

"So, come and paint, I need five, don't leave if you don't finish!"

Pressing his shoulders and forcing him onto the chair, Shangguan Shaochen dropped his words and left the study like a fly. After leaving, the study was locked.

Hearing the 'click' sound, Nangong Yizhi reacted belatedly, "Hey, Shangguan Shaochen, I am your cousin after all, not your prisoner, you let me recite poems, drink and eat meat. Where can I draw?"

What's more, people have a cup of tea and a painting, and they may only have one pair for one night when they come to him. Tonight, he even invited a girl from Zuixianglou to go to the roof to watch the stars.

"Shangguan Shaochen, you must be jealous that I have a girl to watch the stars with me, just wait and see, the next time you make out with your wife, I won't let you get away with it!"

Even though he said so, he still obediently picked up the pen and ink, and carefully copied his painting.

When Shangguan Shaochen came back from the study, he found that all the people in the Ling residence had gone back, and the little girl leaned on the table tiredly,

"Why don't you leave your parents to eat together?" Standing behind. Gently kneading her shoulders, seeing her brows relaxed, Shangguan Shaochen placed a light kiss on her lips, "I failed to protect you last night, don't worry, there will be no next time,"

Looking up at Shangguan Shaochen's handsome face, Ling Muer shook her head and curled her lips, "It's me who insisted on not bringing anyone into the palace, so it has nothing to do with you, but I didn't expect Qin Yuheng to trust me so much. We must help him find out the truth."

The man didn't speak, walked around to him, picked her up and sat on his lap, let her curl up in his arms gently like a cat, and gave him all the strength in his body, "I have already sent Yizhi to ask him to find his aunt Help, my aunt is very skilled, I believe that even if you encounter danger, you will not have any worries. And you are inconvenient, so you will follow me during this time."

Knowing that if she is not allowed to participate, she will definitely not agree, so he finds a direction for her, and only under his nose can he feel at ease.

"Will this be too much trouble for the godmother?" Ling Muer knew that Shao Chen was thinking of her safety.

She put her hands on her belly and stroked it gently. "Counting the days, it's almost two months. As long as the first three months pass, nothing will happen. You don't have to worry about him so much."

"I'm worried about you."

Shangguan Shaochen fixed his eyes on her, and gently smoothed the broken hair beside her ears, "When you defended yourself in front of the emperor today, don't think I didn't see it, but you still felt dizzy?"

"I didn't expect to be discovered by you." Ling Mu'er stuck out her tongue mischievously.

It seems that she needs to go to the Western Regions to get the national flower as soon as possible after this matter is resolved.

Otherwise, she really doesn't guarantee that she will be so lucky next time, but the temporary pain makes her feel dizzy, if she really faints at that juncture today, she doesn't know what kind of troublesome end she will get.

"After this matter is over, I will accompany you to the Valley of the Medicine King." Shangguan Shaochen thought for a moment, and finally said this.

Sure enough, when he saw the little woman's face suddenly changed, he hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't believe in your medical skills, but I will never allow the person I care about to disappear from my side! Mu'er, I know you are a mystery , There are many unreasonable things about you, but you are my woman, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I must cure you."

"Then you..." Accompany me to the Western Regions.

Ling Muer thought for a while but held back.

She raised her head and curled her lips, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she smiled very gently, "Okay, after this matter is over, you can take me to the Valley of the Medicine King, I want to see this medicine that has been touted by the world. Just how powerful Wang Gu is, maybe I can still be their valley owner."

Ling Mu'er smiled, but suddenly, she felt a numbness all over her body, and her figure swayed, feeling uncontrollable like never before.

Shangguan Shaochen was still looking at her with a slight smile at first, but in the next second, his handsome face became very stern. "What's the matter, Mu'er?"

"I, I feel like I can't move my limbs."

Still maintaining the cat's curled up position, Ling Mu'er tried to move her arms and legs, but her limbs seemed to be disobedient.

Moreover, she could clearly feel that her pulse was gradually weakening...

"Shao Chen..."

Before he could finish his sentence, when Shangguan Shaochen was at a loss and didn't know what to do, the woman in his arms closed his eyes and fell into a faint again.

"Muer, Muer!"

Hugging her in his arms, he planned to rush out to find the doctor, but outside the door, the guard came to report in a hurry. "Go back to the second prince, the virtuous king asks to see you."
