Chapter 82: Tiger Claw

Qin Jiu left the Flower Hall and followed Xie Zhuochen along the small path between the flowers. She didn't ask Xie Zhuochen where she was going to take her, and Loquat silently followed behind her without making a sound. At this time, her mood was no longer as ups and downs as before, and Su Wanxiang was like her or not like her, she already felt that it didn't matter. It's just that I feel like I was stabbed with a thorn in my heart, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
Along the way, the fragrance of flowers hits people, and the eyes are full of intoxicating spring scenery. Going through the garden, through the cloister, and passing a rockery, you arrive at the gate of the January Cave. In front of the gate stood several guards from Jinwuwei and several guards from Yunshao Kingdom. Qin Jiu knew at a glance that Shang Chuchu was still inside.
Xie Zhuochen deliberately suppressed the assassination incident just now, and secretly sent someone to take the body of the palace lady away. If this matter is spread, it will definitely be detrimental to the marriage of Dayu and Yunshao.
Xie Zhuochen stopped, looking back and said to Qin Jiu: "Jiuye, I must have guessed what the prince asked Jiuye to come over. I also ask the prince to cooperate with the prince to arrest the assassin who assassinated the three princesses of Yunshao."
"That's natural, so I can get rid of my suspicion!" Qin Jiu said slowly. Saying Yan Su didn't doubt her, she didn't believe it. So far, she still remembers Yan Su's cold and pressing warning when Su Wanxiang was assassinated by an assassin at the Qixue Festival. Will it be the same drama today?
Xie Zhuochen pondered for a moment, and said: "The Jiuye must not misunderstand, I thought about the matter just now, it should have nothing to do with the Jiuye. Although the prince does not like the Tianchen sect, the prince will never wrong the innocent. Human, please don't worry about Master Jiu. I'll go in first to inform, Master Jiu will wait a moment." After Xie Zhuochen finished speaking, he quickly walked through the moon cave gate and went inward.
Qin Jiu squinted and smiled, Xie Zhuochen was much cuter than his elder brother Xie Dichen. Xie Dichen was almost completely assimilated by Yan Su, and had the same thoughts about her as Yan Su.
She smiled and asked the loquat in a low voice, "Loquat, how did you chase that female assassin, have you ever found anything else?"
Loquat said: "The minion is about to report to the adult. The woman just flied out of the flowers after she fled away with smoke. The minion followed her back and chased it all the way, and then turned around, chased and lost her. "
"Where did you pursue it?" Qin Jiu asked.
"The slave clearly saw that she had entered a compound. Only when she entered did she know that it was the kitchen of Mingyue Villa. There were many maidservants and they all came and went with their plates. The slave went in to check, and there was no assassin who had just been chasing. At that time, she couldn't get out of there at all, but the one who didn't find her was."
Qin Jiu frowned, and said in thought: "She is naturally mixed with those palace ladies. Her previous appearance has changed. Now that she has changed her face, you will naturally not recognize her. Yes, she said just now. She was going to deliver meals to Lian'er. Presumably this female assassin was hidden in the royal dining room of the palace. This time she was deployed to Mingyue Villa together. After returning to Beijing, you sent a message to Lan'er and asked him to remind Cai Zongfeng Privately pay attention to and mention the woman in the defensive dining room." Loquat nodded.
Cai Zongfeng is a member of the Suyi Bureau. Since Lanting changed his name to Lanshe and became a young man in Wuyouju, the news in the palace has been collected by Cai Zongfeng. Three years ago, after the accident in the Bai family, the more important figures in the Suyi Bureau were eliminated, and most of those left behind were humble court ladies and little eunuchs who were mostly of low grades. Only Cai Zongfeng has a relatively high grade. She specializes in the conditioning of royal women's dietary drugs, and often deals with the Imperial Dining Room. The imperial physicians of the Taiyuan Hospital, although they have good medical skills, they are different between men and women, and they can only do nothing about the hidden diseases that women cannot describe. And Cai Gongfeng and several medical girls under her are specialized in treating some unspeakable diseases for royal women. Because of the convenience of his duties, Cai Zhuanfeng walked in the palaces of concubines and concubines, and the news was extremely well informed.
Xie Zhuochen came out of the garden and invited Qin Jiu and Loquat in. In front of the house, Yan Xu's two maids, Yubing and Fenxue, stood quietly, seeing Qin Jiu, Loquat, and Xie Zhuochen walking slowly, and they opened the curtain first.
Qin Jiu stepped into the house slowly, and saw Yan Su and Shang Chuchu sitting on both sides of the table in the room with fragrant tea and fruit plates on the table.
Shang Chuchu held a cup of tea and sipped, his eyes glanced at Yan Su from time to time. Yan Su leaned back on the chair with a calm face. Hearing the sound of footsteps, his slightly drooping eyelashes were raised lightly, and the light in his eyes passed Qin Jiu like a cloud.
Qin Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, her phoenix eyes seemed to be foggy, and there was a hazy laziness and charm. Yan Su couldn't help but say something in his heart: Demon girl! In other words, evildoers are more appropriate.
Such a woman seems to be born to sink people, or unconsciously sink willingly.
Facing Yan Su's cold gaze, Qin Jiu smiled disapprovingly, with a hint of fierceness and indifference in his smile, which dispelled the charmingness in his eyes a little, and made people feel embarrassed. "I invite Jiuye to understand the assassination of the third princess below. How did Jiuye find that the court lady was an assassin?" Yan Su asked lightly.
Qin Jiu walked to the other side of the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can appreciate it. I told Master Xie how I discovered the assassin just now. Because the woman said she was going to Mufang Garden to deliver cakes, but she arrived at Mufang. I found out that I had never given meals to the garden. This was obviously unreasonable. I happened to see the third princess in Mufangyuan again, so I suspected that the person might be against the third princess.
Yan Su said: "Then your attendant chased the assassin later, what did you find?"
Qin Jiu grasped the flower bandage in his hand, embroidered a stitch slowly, and returned Yan Su with a brilliant smile, "His Royal Highness, I found something. The loquat is the one who chased after the lost in the kitchen, where people come and go. The woman had changed her face before, so it was difficult to identify."
Yan Su smiled coldly and said, "The light work of the guard should be good, right?"
Qin Jiu grabbed the silk thread's hand, and smiled coldly: "His Royal Highness meant that Loquat deliberately released the assassin? In this way, the female assassin must be captured for anything. Presumably the prince has already been arrested. Send someone to surround Mingyue Villa in secret. Although this matter should not be publicized, according to the prince’s ability, even a fly cannot fly out. Then, the assassin must still be in the villa. Catch it!"
Yan Su paused in the air with the tea cup in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and put the tea cup on the table. Naturally, Yan Su wanted to find out the case, and he also wanted to know who was going to destroy the marriage between Dayu and Yunshao. He also doubted Tianchen Sect, because Tianchen Sect was motivated, but if it were made by Tianchen Sect, Qin Jiu and Loquat would not happen to be there. So in fact, he felt that even if it was done by someone in the Tianchen Sect, it should not have been Qin Jiu. The reason why Qin Jiu was called was because Shang Chuchu and Qin Jiu seemed to have a very good relationship. He knew in his heart that Tianchen Sect was supporting Kangyang Wang Yanmin. Just now, Qin Jiu had successfully undermined his plan and let It is impossible for Shang Chuchu to follow Xie Zhuochen. If Qin Jiu matched Yan Min and Shang Chuchu, it would be extremely unfavorable to him.
Therefore, he invited Qin Jiu to make Shang Chuchu suspicious of Qin Jiu through ambiguous doubts. Unexpectedly, Qin Jiu asked to catch the assassin.
He smiled coldly and asked with interest: "Listening to what Jiuye said, is it possible that Jiuye can capture the assassin? You know, even this king is helpless?"
Qin Jiu put the embroidery needle on the flower bandage, raised his eyes and asked, "Is His Royal Highness really helpless? Back then, His Royal Highness was in the Ministry of Justice, but he was so famous. How can such an assassination be so rare to live on Your Highness?"
Qin Jiu now understands that Yan Su didn't doubt her this time, but used this to destroy her relationship with Shang Chuchu. If Shang Chuchu really doubted her, then he would also doubt durian, and she would naturally not let it happen.
"I guess, your Royal Highness doesn't want to solve the case, right? Maybe, this is just a scene arranged by His Royal Highness, just to let the hero Xie save the beauty, otherwise how did Xie Gongzi go so coincidental? Tsk Tsk, your Highness can really do it. In case there is a mistake that accidentally hurts the third princess, then..."
Qin Jiu was not afraid that Yan Su knew that she was against him, because even if she was not against him, he knew that she was not against him. Because she is a member of Tianchen Sect after all, and Tianchen Sect belongs to Yan Min's party, which is something everyone knows. Let him think she is helping Yan Min, which is also good for her. Yan Su heard the words, his face gradually covered with a layer of frost, and a sharp flash of black eyes flashed like ink. He smiled coldly: "Jiuye, I think you are just trying to excuse yourself! How can your Highness do it? Such a thing?"
"Can't do such a thing? That is to say that it was not the play that you arranged. Could it be that you really wanted to kill the third princess? Your majesty, you are cruel, the third princess is so lovely, you are not tempted That's it, and arrange for your subordinates to fight. That's all. If you don't get it, you will become angry, but it's really..." Qin Jiu said coldly, the smile on the corner of his lips was enchanting and cold.
Yan Su had never seen that two contradictory and incongruent words such as cold and enchanting would appear in the same person at the same time.
He knew that Qin Jiu was only trying to provoke him, but he was still angry.
Yan Su stood up, walked slowly in front of Qin Jiu, his white clothes fluttered, his long eyebrows raised, his cold eyes pierced straight towards Qin Jiu. The whole body was icy and rolled, and the atmosphere in the room instantly stagnated. As the atmosphere condensed, Shang Chu Chuhuo stood up.
"King Anling, you are too much!" Shang Chuchu stood up straight and said in a cold voice, "Just now, you told me not to tell my second sister about this matter. It turns out that you don't want to investigate the case. I'm going to tell the second sister."
Shang Chuchu got up to leave, but was stopped by Xie Zhuochen.
Yan Su glanced at Qin Jiu coldly, walked quickly to Shang Chuchu, and said in a deep voice: "The princess should not suspect this king because of someone's provocation. I did intend to match you and Zhuochen, because Zhuochen It is indeed an extremely outstanding talent of our Day Yuguo. However, regardless of whether the princess wants to, this king will never do such abusive things. The third princess thinks about it, if the third princess has an accident, it will not only destroy this time. Marriage will destroy the good relations between our two countries. How could this king do such a thing! Please rest assured that the third princess will find out this assassin and give Yunshao an explanation."
Shang Chuchu's eyes rolled, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, then I'll wait to see who the assassin is? I just don't know how long it will take for the prince to investigate this case?"
Yan Su's lips twitched slightly, and he looked at Qin Jiu and said: "Just now Jiuye said that this assassin can find out, and there must be a countermeasure, so please tell me!"
Qin Jiu turned his head and said with a bright smile back to him: "It's the prince who wants to wash his innocence, and it's not me?"
Yan Su smiled coldly and said, "Jiuye refuses to say, that is, there is a problem with Jiuye."
The corner of Qin Jiu's lips twitched, and his smile bloomed faintly, as if the red plum blossoms on a cliff of ten thousand meters wide. The beauty is extremely beautiful, but it is also extremely cold. "The prince must think this way, then it will consume it. Anyway, the suspicion of your highness is more than mine. Big."
Yan Su raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Since Jiuye is unwilling to say it, then that's all. I do have a case that can be solved, but I have to rely on a friend." He turned to Xie Zhuochen and said, "Zhuochen , You go and tell your elder brother, let him come to my mansion and invite the tiger claws." As he said, he whispered a few words in Xie Zhuochen's ear.
Tiger paw?
Qin Jiu's heart jumped, and he cried out badly!
Shang Chuchu asked without knowing why: "His Royal Highness, I don't know what tiger claw is?"
Yan Su smiled faintly: "It's a dog I raised, very sensitive to certain special smells."
Qin Jiu hesitated and said, "Master, I heard that dogs can smell sensitive odors, but there must be something left by an assassin, right? The prince doesn't have it? How can a dog smell it? I think it’s better for the prince to use another strategy!"
Yan Su turned around indifferently, with a calm and luxurious grace.
"Jiuye has been worrying too much. Although this king has nothing to do with the assassin, he can still catch her." Yan Suqing smiled coldly.
Qin Jiu's eyebrows condensed, and she suddenly remembered that the place where Xie Zhuochen was fighting with the female assassin was a bauhinia bush. It was not a path, and very few people passed by, presumably the female assassin must be tainted with the fragrance of bauhinia.
Qin Jiu remembered this, and then he had an idea in his heart.
Yan Su then said to Yubing and Fenxue who were outside, "You two, go to the kitchen to spread the word, saying that this king is going to invite the third princess to use tea here, and ask them to make forty delicate snacks. Send it in an hour later. Remember to inquire secretly how many palace ladies are there in the kitchen."
Yubing and Fenxue agreed and left.
Half an hour later, the court lady who gave snacks in the kitchen came. Because there were so many kinds of pastries, all the eighteen court ladies in the kitchen came, all in a happy bun and pink-blue palace clothes.
