Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 552 She Was Pregnant
The next day, Yan Mu stayed at the mansion without going out, and asked Zijin to buy him a copy of "Tao Te Ching". It seemed that he planned to cultivate his moral character, so he really didn't care about the case.

If he didn't care about it, the emperor would just scold him a few words and strip him of his title of servant of the Ministry of Punishment, so that he could relax like this every day.And he is not afraid of anyone harming him, after all, there are [-] Zhenbei troops behind him, enough to make him lie down.

Liu Yunxiang knew that he had an idea in mind, so he was not in a hurry.There were a group of mourners outside, so she asked the housekeeper to take care of their meals every day, and distributed blankets to them when it was cold at night.

After three days like this, Dahei came in a hurry.

"Your Highness, there is... a clue!"

Dahei, who ran all the way, was gasping for breath. After saying this, he panted heavily, and he didn't forget to push a dressed maid to the front, "You, you say."

The servant girl was a little scared, shrank her body, groaned for a long time, and said: "The servant girl is not sure."

"Oh, why are you not sure?"

"It was quite dark in the room that night, and the slaves were scared, so..."

Liu Yunxiang came in with a bowl of old chicken soup. Hearing these words, he took a look at the maid. She had seen it in the office of the Ministry of Punishment. This maid was originally a palace maid. Han Zicheng was rescued from the house.

The little maid was afraid of being retaliated by Han Zicheng, so she begged Yan Mu and stayed in the punishment department to clean up.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu again, and saw that he was still digging into the "Tao Te Ching", as if he had really enlightened.She walked over, took away the book in his hand, and gave him the bowl in his hand.

Seeing the chicken soup in his hand, Yan Mu sighed first, "My king is in good health."

"That's not what the doctor said."

"It's just a matter of recuperating slowly, and there is no need to stew chicken soup."

"Ginseng soup, old duck soup, ribs soup can be changed."

Yan Mu choked, took a sip resignedly, and then swallowed with difficulty.

Liu Yunxiang asked, "How does it taste?"

Yan Mu glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and said tactfully: "It tastes good, but there is a cook in the kitchen, the princess doesn't have to cook for me to make soup for me."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Just drink as you like."

Yan Mumo, how did she see that he likes to drink.

Well, she must have done it on purpose, didn't she just read the "Tao Te Ching" a few days ago, suddenly realized that she wanted to practice in a Taoist temple, and then she got angry.

Liu Yunxiang threw the book in his hand aside, then looked at Dahei, "Take your breath away, what clue did you find?"

Dahei wanted to speak a long time ago, but seeing the concubine talking to the prince, he didn't dare to intervene.

"His Royal Highness asked to search for clues in the section between the Taoist temple and Dingyuan Houfu Zhuangzi, and he didn't say anything. Anyway, the big guy was obedient and wandered in the mountains every day. I really had no clue a few days ago, but yesterday I was at the bottom of a steep slope. I found a knife. This knife looks very strange. It has a handle at both ends, but it is only a little over a foot long. It should be the murder weapon." Da Hei said.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and smiled, probably because he was afraid that Yan Mu would really pick him up, and Shangguanxu gave him another clue.

"What else?"

At this moment, Dahei swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said: "This kind of knife with a strange shape must be specially made, and it is generally not seen in the market, but I have seen this kind of knife in June."

Liu Yunxiang's expression changed, and he looked at the maid standing beside him, "Have you seen it?"

The little palace maid June, faced with Liu Yunxiang's inquiry, she became even more nervous, "I...I seem to have seen it before, but I really can't confirm it."

Liu Yunxiang reassured: "It's okay, just say what you say, it's okay if you make a mistake."

June thought about it carefully, and said in a low voice: "That night, Eunuch Han brought the servant into his room, and kicked something out from under the bed while struggling. I glanced at it, and it seemed to be such a knife. "

Liu Yunxiang's face tightened, "Han Zicheng?"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang turned his head to look at Yan Mu, who was holding the half-drinked chicken soup, and was also in trouble at this moment.

The murderer's methods are fierce, and his temperament must be extremely gloomy, and he may even be a complete pervert. From this point of view, Han Zicheng is really suspicious.

But why did he kill the maidservant next to Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, these two people who couldn't fight...

"Your Highness, do you think you want to call this Han Zicheng to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and let's interrogate him?" Dahei asked a little excitedly.

There were no clues for so many days, but now there are not only clues but also suspects, so he is naturally excited.

Yan Mu glanced at him, "He is the Chief Eunuch, someone close to the Emperor."

"We have evidence witnesses. Since he is suspected, it is legal and compliant to interrogate him."

"A knife, I'm not sure if it's a murder weapon, and a little palace lady, I'm not sure if I saw it clearly, is this a witness?"

"Then... what does His Highness mean?"

Yan Mu drank the remaining half bowl of chicken soup sullenly, wiped his mouth with a bluish face, and said, "Continue to investigate."

"Which way are you looking?"

"The king is optimistic about you."

"what?"

"I want to go."

Dahei walked away with a confused look on the maid's face. His Highness is optimistic about himself, but he has no clue right now!
Liu Yunxiang sat down opposite Yan Mu, "Do you think Yan Mu will give you clues?"

"uncertain."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the person who should show up."

Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask again, but Yan Mu picked up the "Tao Te Ching" again, "Tao is a thing, but it's only vague."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "What book is not good for you, you must read this one?"

"I'm trying to understand Hongxuan's way, what is his position in this chess game, and what role does he play." Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and said.

Liu Yunxiangmo, this Taoist priest seems to be dispensable, but also seems to be inextricably linked.

"Hongxuan is a talent for governing the world." Based on the experience of her previous life, she can only comment on Hongxuan in this way.She really didn't know what kind of person he was.

"If you want to achieve a great cause, you must sacrifice. You can't distinguish between black and white. What he said makes sense."

"Then why did you reject him?"

"Oh, I don't even know which way I'm going. Besides, this old fox is very treacherous. I really can't play him well."

It's been another five or six days, and the two families are still there, but they can't cry anymore.The woman over there cried and passed out for several days, and she still refused to eat, almost turning into a dead log.The little grandson of the family over there was exposed to the wind and heat outside with the adults. It has been cold for a long time at night these days and has already fallen ill.

If it goes on like this, it really won't work.

Liu Yunxiang thought of seeing Mrs. Hou sick that day, so she took Qu Moran to Zhuangzi today.I was worried that Mrs. Hou would not want to see her, but I still saw her, but compared with that day, Mrs. Hou's complexion was even more haggard.

"Ma'am, this is Dr. Qu, she is very good at medicine, let her see you."

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she showed panic, and quickly waved her hands, "No need, I have already seen the doctor, I just need to take care of it, and I don't need to trouble Dr. Qu."

"Madam's complexion is very bad, let Doctor Qu take a look, why is she here?"

"I'm fine, I don't need to see a doctor."

"lady……"

Before Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, Mrs. Hou got up abruptly, and fell back two steps because of her weak body. Fortunately, the nurse beside her supported her.

"I'm tired, my princess, please go back."

With that said, she turned around and walked inside.

"lady!"

Liu Yunxiang took a step to catch up, but was stopped by Mrs. Hou's nanny.

The nun frowned, and said angrily: "Wangfei, it's really inconvenient for our wife to see guests in such a body. These two times are because of the old relationship, but please don't come again in the future, Wangfei."

After finishing speaking, the nanny also returned.

Liu Yunxiang originally wanted to ask Mrs. Hou for something, but now he can only leave with Qu Moran.

"Why do you feel that Mrs. Hou is a little strange?" Liu Yunxiang asked puzzled.

She was kind, but it seemed to offend her.

"When a woman is pregnant, sometimes her temper is a little volatile." Qu Moran said.

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened when he heard this, "Pregnant?"
