I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 290
"Princess, how are you sure that the butcher is lying?" Bei Xue chased after Lu Xizhi adoringly, looking at her with bright eyes.

A murder case had just been concluded, and they were on their way back to Prince An's Mansion.

"My wife has only been missing for two months. A normal person's psychology must be restless and full of worries, but he can get married with Xinhuan in the old house with peace of mind. This psychological quality and indifferent attitude are really incredible. Therefore, After interviewing all the missing woman's relationships and excluding the other two suspects, the only remaining possibility is that the butcher knows that his wife will never come back."

"But according to Wang Yu's autopsy results, he wasn't there at all when the crime happened. How did you deduce that it was the prostitute and her husband who committed the crime? After all, how can a man bear his wife Hong Xing's death?" Wall, and also helped kill your lover’s wife, when you came to this conclusion, everyone said it was impossible.”

Lu Xizhi looked amusedly at this girl who had never been in a relationship even though she was very skilled, "In this world, the word love is the most difficult to understand. You will understand after you have experienced the hardships of love, haha."

Beixue twisted her mouth in distaste at the moment, "I don't want to get married, what are you talking about..." She thought about it for a while: "Ah, yes, love, I don't want love!"

Xifeng next to him coughed at the right time, feeling panicked. What should I do?If you don't get married, if you don't fall in love, what will I do... As I thought, the resentful little eyes looked at the princess as if asking for help, please, please stop talking.

Lu Xizhi received Xifeng's complaint and pursed his lips with a smile.

Isn't it? What is the most incomprehensible thing in this world?
Of course it is a word of 'love'.

Just like Chang Xinyue, who is so greedy and ambitious, no woman can escape a word of love. The scene of Chang Xinyue's interrogation that night came to mind.

Qi Tianyin didn't fall asleep, but was immersed in the guilt and regret of meeting his son for the first time and didn't know how to deal with it, so he just closed his eyes and listened to everything in front of him.

When Chang Xinyue's psychological defenses collapsed and he fell to the ground in pain, he 'woke up' and asked his attendants to go down. He had something to tell the empress that the emperor wanted Lu Xizhi to go out too, so that he could prepare for the royal family's dispute. Solved, but flinched from his son's fierce eyes, allowing her to interrogate.

Chang Xinyue expected that the Chang family was in danger, and her father must have escaped from the city according to the plan. She was already heartbroken and had no plans to live. She also expressed the love and hatred buried in her heart for so many years. past.

From being in love with Xiao Nansheng secretly when she was young, being severely educated by Chang Chonghu, and marrying her to Qi Tianyin regardless of her wishes, the unwillingness and pain; to later dealing with all kinds of framing schemes alone in the deep palace, and began to have the so-called love for Qi Tianyin , frequently attacking the concubines in the palace and retaliation... I have to say that Chang Xinyue's journey along the way is certainly not satisfied and happy.The heartache and torture involved, I believe only she can experience it.

What's more, in all the calculations, not only to monopolize Qi Tianyin's favor, but also to kill the sister and nephew of the person he admired, what kind of greed and desire is that.

Lu Xizhi finally asked her: "Although you have admitted that you directly or indirectly participated in the obscenity and the killing of the emperor's heir and the three beauties, but I still want to ask you, those are the emperor's children, since You like the emperor, but have you ever thought that these things will make him sad?"

"Sad?" Chang Xinyue's eyes flashed, then dimmed, eventually turning into disdain, and even her voice became soft and weak.

She was silent for a long time, Lu Xizhi only thought that she didn't want to answer any more, but Chang Xinyue suddenly sat upright, looked at her quietly as if she had made up her mind, and said slowly: "Ben Gong was united and almost lost her child. The emperor doesn't believe that there is oleander powder in the burning incense I smell, nor does he believe that the pillow I use is filled with musk sawdust, and Xiao Jing'an just vomited slightly, the emperor was furious and punished the concubine who had been to her palace .”

"As the emperor, the power of the former dynasty is the most important. No matter who it was at the beginning, you must bear it." Chang Xinyue's hand resting on the tea table slowly tightened, and suddenly her face showed pain, and she almost said bitterly through her teeth : "But that's my child! It's also his child! Why can he love Xiao Jing'an so much, but treat me so indifferently and calmly?! Why do you think the oleander powder that Wei Ruxia gave can He succeeds one after another, but he remains indifferent?"

She turned her head and asked again: "Lu Shun, have you ever seen him sad?!"

Lu Shun naturally remained silent.

Chang Xinyue's tone became urgent as she spoke, and her eyes became fierce. Lu Xizhi looked at her eyes that suddenly became ferocious and then became blank and unfocused. His heart suddenly stopped. After a long time, he slowly said: "Because ...Because the emperor thought that his killing was too serious, so he was punished by heaven..." After she finished speaking, she let out an inaudible sigh.

Chang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, her shock was beyond words, she stared at the woman who spoke, and the latter nodded her head in affirmation.

For a moment, no one spoke or moved, and time seemed to freeze. In addition to the sweet cinnamon fragrance, Chang Xinyue's breathing became heavier and heavier in the air.

Lu Xizhi closed his eyes slightly, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. Although he couldn't feel the pain on his skin, looking at Chang Xinyue's loss, as a woman, she could also feel it.

She just sat there, with her head buried slightly, looking out of the door with vague eyes, she was about to cry, her body and spirit were indifferent.

"Shu'er." Qi Tianyin's voice seemed to be ten years old again.

Chang Xinyue's heart skipped a beat. How long has it been since I heard this name?Turning her head slowly, she looked at the man she had been with for decades with complicated eyes. She was not afraid to look at him, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, this concubine is guilty."

"I'm just asking you, is it really you who harmed Jing'an?" Qi Tianyin asked in a deep voice, the strength in his hands suddenly tightening.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty." Chang Xinyue nodded slightly, without any sign of pain.

"Have I not given you enough for so many years? You are the most tyrannical in the harem. Even if your ambitious father openly refuted me in court, I did not make things difficult for you! Why do you treat me like this?!" Qi Tianyin He pointed at her and asked in a mute voice, almost hysterical, with a horrifying look.

Chang Xinyue didn't give any unnecessary explanations, but said flatly: "Your Majesty, please punish the concubine, the concubine also murdered the emperor's heir, so she cannot escape the responsibility."

Under Qi Tianyin's fury, his eyes flickered, and he struggled and reached out to hit her.

Immediately, red marks appeared on the queen's fair cheeks. Without changing her face, she slowly straightened up, still knelt upright, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, my concubine deserves to die."

Qi Yumo was also very forbearing that night. Looking back on it, Lu Xizhi thought that maybe he was filled with hatred, or maybe he retained a trace of rationality in the palace, leaving only one sentence: "I will personally avenge my mother's revenge on you. Before that, You live well first."

Seeing Lu Xizhi standing motionless at the gate of Prince An's Mansion, Bei Xue asked suspiciously, "Princess, concubine?"

Lu Xizhi was taken aback for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to say it was okay, when he suddenly felt a little nauseous, faintly nauseous, frowned, endured it for a while, and then suppressed the nauseating urge in his stomach.

Beixue could tell almost immediately that Lu Xizhi was uncomfortable, and quickly ran forward to hold her arm, asking in a nervous and concerned tone: "Princess, what's wrong with you? You look so bad, it must be because you have been too tired these past two days."

A mysterious joyful thought suddenly flashed in Lu Xizhi's heart.

However... the time was too short and I couldn't be sure yet, so I casually replied: "I'm probably a little dizzy after standing for a long time."

Bei Xue and Xi Feng glanced at each other, the lord was going back to Beijing soon, she didn't dare to make any mistakes at this moment, she immediately said: "Let's go into the house and have a rest, my subordinates are going to invite Miracle Doctor Miao."

"It doesn't matter that much, the genius doctor can't get away even in the palace, I'll just rest for a while."

Of course, Beixue refused to agree, and Lu Xizhi made them retreat after he said something, went back to the room and lay down, putting his hands gently on his flat belly.

This month, her period was three days late.

In modern times, menstruation is postponed for at least a week before pregnancy can be determined accurately. In this era when only pulse is taken, it may take a little longer.

However, as long as she thinks that a little life may have been conceived in her womb... This mysterious and huge joy immediately filled her chest and quickly spread to her whole body. .

After getting married, she had imagined countless times how hard and troublesome it would be to be pregnant, and she had to have a good rest and not be able to go out to handle cases.She is not a noble lady who takes care of her husband and raises her children. She is the newly named first female detective of Jin Dynasty by the common people. She is also the respected Princess An, shouldering important responsibilities.Now I can go home almost every three days and only take one day off per month.

If she is pregnant, according to how much her husband loves her, she must be restrained... All kinds of situations are telling her that it is not appropriate to conceive early.

But at this moment, when she thought of a little life being gestated in her belly, her and Qi Yumo's blood blended together to form a brand new life, the huge and uncontrollable joy instantly occupied my heart, and all worries and uneasiness were thrown away. At the back of my mind, all the troubles and dilemmas are no longer worth mentioning.

Lu Xizhi turned slightly inward, his hands still on his lower abdomen, with a happy and sweet smile on his lips, and he fell asleep quickly.

She had a dream. There was a fruit tree in the dream. The fruit tree was luxuriant and produced many fruits. She couldn't help but walked under the tree, stretched out her hands, and a gust of wind came from nowhere, making the branches and leaves rustle. Two fruits fell from the tree and landed in her palm. These two fruits, one green and one red, looked huge and round, with an attractive aroma.She suddenly felt hungry, and when she became hungry, she opened her mouth and bit down.

"pain!"

"Mom, don't bite us!"

Lu Xizhi was taken aback. How did the two fruits in his hand turn into two babies?Two naked children were waving their little arms, crying with grievances on their faces.She also forgot for a moment how such a young child could speak, so she said distressedly and anxiously: "Don't cry, mother won't bite you."

The two babies stopped crying immediately, and suddenly turned into two fruits, lying obediently in her palm.

Lu Xizhi opened her eyes with a whoosh, looking at her hands first while half asleep and half awake, tossing and turning, her hands were empty, there was no fruit or baby, everything was just a dream.

However, this dream is so beautiful, could it be that this is a fetal dream?Does that mean she's having twins?

She stared at the empty hands, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes shone with joy.

At this time, someone walked in quietly: "Princess, it's already evening, the kitchen has brought dinner, do you want to eat now?"

Before she knew it, she fell asleep for two hours.

Thinking of something, she calmed down, first smiled and answered, sat up and straightened her clothes a little, and asked Chunxiang to call Beixue over.

Yes, she changed her mind, now she wanted to ask the genius doctor to feel her pulse immediately.

As a secret guard, Beixue has a keen intuition. She noticed Lu Xizhi's strangeness when she first arrived. The princess was never picky about food in the past, but now she eats all kinds of meat without using chopsticks, and only eats a few chopsticks of vegetables. , and turned his head from time to time, as if to cover up something.

Too bad, the princess is really sick, what should I do.

"Princess!" Beixue said.

"Beixue, go to the palace quickly and ask Divine Doctor Miao to come over."

"Yes, this subordinate is going!"

Within a quarter of an hour, there was a sound of heavy panting outside the door, mixed with Miao Wanhuo's unique temper.

"What's wrong with the stinky girl?! Let you take it easy, a woman is running around all day!!"

The white-haired Miao Wanhuo opened the door angrily before anyone could tell him. Just as he looked at Lu Xizhi, his eyes widened and he suddenly asked: "Girl, are you happy?"

Everyone present, except Lu Xizhi, stared at Miao Wanhuo in surprise, and looked at the princess' stomach in surprise, this...! !

Facing Miao Wanhuo, who is highly skilled in medicine, Lu Xizhi replied with a smile: "Yuexin is three days late, so I'm not sure yet."

Miao Wanhuo's eyes lit up, he stroked his beard and laughed, and swept away the anger just now: "You know your own body best, so tell me and let me feel the pulse."

Lu Xizhi nodded, with unconscious tenderness in his voice: "In the past two days, I have been feeling drowsy and depressed. My energy is far less than usual, and my appetite is also poor. I feel nauseated when I smell meat. I can't even take a bite." I can’t eat it.”

Miao Wanhuo stroked his beard and said, "Haha, I must be pregnant. The time is short and the joy pulse is shallow. If it were anyone else, I would definitely not be able to detect it. Huh, thanks to me." He stretched out his fingers. , resting on Lu Xizhi's wrist.

Everyone tensed up unconsciously, staring closely at Miao Wanhuo's complexion. Miao Wanhuo, an old urchin, was also narrow-minded, deliberately frowning.

Lu Xizhi's heart skipped a beat: "Genius doctor, why are you frowning? Is there something wrong?"

Miao Wanhuo looked solemn and nodded slightly.

Lu Xizhi's face tightened, and his heart beat suddenly: "What's wrong?"

Miao Wanhuo said seriously: "Based on my decades of experience in medical practice and pulse diagnosis, although your pulse is shallow, there is no doubt that you have a happy pulse."

Everyone: "..."

The heart that Lu Xizhi raised high up suddenly fell back to the original place. The ups and downs in her mood were not very pleasant, and she couldn't help but angrily said: "The genius doctor is so naughty at an age!"

Miao Wanhuo laughed, and the busy and tiring days were swept away.

Everyone was also full of joy, and they were not annoyed at all when they were teased by Xiaodi.

Lu Xizhi smiled and told Miao Wanhuo: "Genius doctor, don't say anything about this matter for now. After a while, the prince will come back and the happy pulse will be obvious. I will tell him quietly."

The thought of seeing Qi Yumo's surprised and panicked expression made Miao Wanhuo very excited and amused, so of course he agreed.After writing a few prescriptions, and explaining to Bei Xue, he happily went back to the palace.

***************
In the 39th year of Taihe, Xiaoman, the mighty Prince An wore armor and a helmet on his face and led his troops to enter from the Xihua Gate of the capital.

Poles and flags were erected everywhere in the capital, horns blared, flowers rained, everyone admired Prince An, he was a hero!The people lined the streets to welcome, but the alleys were empty.

"Look, what is Prince An carrying?" The people were all whispering.

And some elderly people exclaimed that Prince An went to the border to capture the rebels. The rebel was Chang Chonghu who led the rebellion. When Prince An returned in triumph, the square box must contain the rebels. Head!

This is Prince An's bloody debt to the Xiao family!

The men were all in awe of the new prince, while the girls waved their handkerchiefs affectionately, thinking that the handsome Prince An would take a look at them.

Unexpectedly, the prince did not look sideways, and was not affected by the bustling atmosphere on the street at all. He just stopped for a while when he passed the intersection of Prince An's Mansion, but he did not see his wife greet him. Whispered a few words to the guards who also held their heads high, and then continued to walk towards the palace.

After entering the palace gate, all the civil and military officials lined up to greet him. Qi Yumo carried the box and strode towards the slumped old man sitting on the dragon chair.

When he was young, he had hopes and expectations for his father, but what he encountered was his father's indifference and coldness towards his mother. Only he knew the loss and pain of being abandoned and abandoned.He couldn't let go of this knot in his heart, at least not yet.

Qi Tianyin eagerly watched his son's tall and tall figure walking towards him.

This young man is tall and has long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist. His face is extremely handsome, like a treasured sword out of its sheath, its radiance is so dazzling that it cannot be ignored.

Jing'an, have you seen it?This is our son, Mo'er.

When he escaped from the capital that day, he was still a young boy who didn't understand the world. The time of more than ten years seemed to pass in a blink of an eye. His son had grown up and was outstanding and dazzling.

Qi Tianyin was looking at Qi Yumo, but he didn't know that Qi Yumo had no intention of being polite to his biological father.

When he came in front of the emperor, Qi Yumo saluted very politely: "I have seen the emperor."

Qi Tianyin smiled bitterly and asked him to get up.

He briefly stated the process of eliminating the thief, opened the box, and showed Chang Chonghu's head to all the officials present. Those people were all terrified, for fear that the emperor would behead someone if he got angry.

Of course, as an emperor, after quelling the rebellion, he would naturally have a clear decision on rewards and punishments, rewarding the triumphant heroes and men for their merits, and killing and punishing the officials who secretly colluded with Chang Chonghu.

After nearly two hours of court meeting ended, Qi Tianyin's body couldn't hold on any longer, so he was hurriedly helped back to the Imperial Study Room.

He sent a message to ask Qi Yumo to stay and have dinner together, but Qi Yumo only sent back a sentence: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness. I have been separated from the princess for several months. I miss you very much. I want to go home to appease my wife." Then he turned around and left. .

Qi Tianyin was sad and helpless, and his complexion turned pale again.

Lu Shun was a little distressed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince An followed Zhenyuan Hou on the battlefield at a young age, and his temper has indeed become a little more rebellious. The emperor and the prince have not seen each other for many years, and some estrangement is inevitable. In time... ..."

Qi Tianyin waved his hand, closed his eyes haggardly, and fell asleep.

However, as soon as Qi Yumo walked out of the palace, the housekeeper came to report: "My lord, my concubine has sent a villain to send a message to my lord."

Qi Yumo was a little surprised.

The couple used to work together on errands, and it was almost never before that they came to deliver a letter in such a solemn and solemn manner.

What happened?
Qi Yumo immediately rode his horse and galloped towards the palace. He rode fast all the way, and the butler who was sent was already far behind. It took half the time for a stick of incense to arrive.

The husband and wife haven't seen each other for two months, so it's a little bit more like a newlywed than a newlywed, seeing each other as if it's been a lifetime.

The servants have already avoided it wisely.

Sitting alone, Lu Xizhi smiled at her husband, the bright candlelight illuminated the room like daytime, and that glamorous face seemed to be shining with crystal light.

The anxiety in Qi Yumo's heart was dispelled by this beautiful and soft smile, and he slowed down unconsciously: "Xixi, you suddenly sent someone to send me a letter, what is it for?"

Lu Xizhi pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. When Qi Yumo came to her, she stood up. She took her husband's hand and placed it gently on her stomach.

Qi Yumo: "..." His mind froze, and he blurted out, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Lu Xizhi: "..." No matter how much tenderness and sweetness, he couldn't help such an unpleasant scene, and burst out laughing: "What a fool!"

Qi Yumo was a smart person, but he was confused for a moment. He looked at his wife's smile that was blooming like a flower, and then at his own hands. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

His whole body was shaken, ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he began to stammer: "Xixi, are you... are you... happy?"

Lu Xizhi smiled sweetly and nodded.

Qi Yumo moved his mouth, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. The majestic Prince An seemed to be only giggling.

Such a silly look, even the day of marriage has never passed.

Lu Xizhi couldn't stop laughing: "Look at your stupid look! The days are still short and the pulse is shallow. After more than ten days, I will ask the doctor to check the pulse again. After confirming that it is the pulse of joy, I will go back to Lu's mansion to announce the good news..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Yumo took him into his arms.

His embrace was familiar and warm. Unlike in the past, Qi Yumo's arms didn't use any strength, as if he was holding a rare treasure, carefully.

Lu Xizhi's heart was filled with joy and sweetness, and she quietly snuggled into the man's arms.

After a long time, he whispered in her ear: "Xixi, I'm so happy." There was a trace of sob in his voice.

Lu Xizhi raised her head and just caught the flash of water in Qi Yumo's eyes. When she was extremely happy, she would have the urge to cry, and Qi Yumo, who was strong and cold by nature, was no exception.

"I have lost all my relatives and lived alone in the world, and now I have you, we are married, and you are pregnant with our two children."

"Xixi, I'm so happy." His flesh and blood, blended with hers, gathered in a little child, and the bond between them is getting deeper and deeper. There is me in you and me in you. With you, we can never be apart.

Qi Yumo's eyes were affectionate and gentle, like a puddle of water, drowning people.

Lu Xizhi touched his forehead, and smiled softly: "Qi Yumo, I am also very happy, thank you for coming into my life."

In her previous life, she passed away without experiencing a beautiful love. In this life, God gave her a miracle, which made her very excited and grateful.

Qi Yumo leaned down and kissed her lips lingeringly and tenderly.
