Cat Lord is ready to be captured

Chapter 121 Xinghua's Great Career in Eyebrow Painting (Part [-])
Midnight is approaching, the moon is as round as a disk, and the cool breeze blows, wrinkling a pool of moonlit night.

Xu Shi, who was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged, suddenly got up and ran over when she heard the sound of footsteps, pawing at the iron prison, looking forward to it, probably waiting for the person she was waiting for, she said with a smile, "Jinghua."

Jinghua glanced at her, she had an expression that she was about to pounce if there were no iron bars blocking her, Jinghua took a small step back, and put a distance that he thought was safe: "Why don't you sleep?"

Feng Guanlan smiled and was in a good mood: "I'm waiting for you, I know you will come." She winked at Jinghua, like a smug little fox, "Don't worry about me Bar?"

This attitude and context are not the consciousness a prisoner should have.

Jinghua took a closer look at this guy whose structure was completely different from his own, only to find that the prison was damp, probably because he was a felony murderer, and she was not even given a quilt. After struggling for a long time, she finally untied the fox Throw a leather cloak to her through the gap in the iron bars: "Put it on the ground."

She looked flattered, she didn't put it on the ground immediately, but hugged it very preciously, and said firmly: "No, you gave it to me, I want to confess!"

"..." He gave it to her, and he didn't ask her to confess. She must have been hit repeatedly, and she was so abnormal recently. Thinking about it like this, Jing Hua stopped fussing with her.

Jinghua looked at her smiling face and felt incredible, "Why don't you know how to be afraid."

Feng Guanlan answered the words very smoothly: "I was afraid at first, but I am not afraid when I see you."

"You—" Jinghua's throat choked up, she rolled her eyes, and said unnaturally, "What's the matter with you these two days?" The words were really blatant, shameless.

Jinghua has lived for 68 years. Although she doesn't have a female rabbit with a good old friend, the banshee she has seen is like a crucian carp in the river, but there is no fairy like Feng Guanlan, who is so innocent and unrestrained...

Feng Guanlan continued to be naive and unrestrained, with a very serious expression: "When I was tied up by the queen mother that day, I thought, maybe one day I accidentally lost my life, and now I have no backing, and no one wants me. It is very possible to lose my life, so I thought, if I really died, would I have any regrets? After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly realized that my mother is dead, and my father is about to die. My sister-in-law can't wait to die, and I don't need to worry about anything, I really feel very sad when I think about it, because I don't even have anyone to think about when I'm alive."

Jinghua just listened and didn't talk to her.

She continued to have a compassionate look: "Then I thought, there must be someone who makes me feel that I have to live, even if it is painful."

Jinghua looked at her intently, her Shen Lian expression was moved.

Feng Guanlan suddenly raised her head, and smiled coquettishly at him: "Then I thought of you, don't ask me why? I don't know, I think I'm a ghost."

If there is a disagreement, it will be foolish.

"..." You must have lost your mind when you say these words now, Jinghua gave her an unreasonable look, "It's better to think of something useful than to think about it."

Feng Guanlan was shocked, holding the iron prison door in disbelief: "Aren't you moved? Are you not moved? Don't you feel that you just want to hold me in your arms with tears streaming down your face?" She didn't believe it, she really didn't Believe it, "I've been thinking about this passage for half a night! You didn't respond at all to how Huairou came from the drawing book!?"

After all, she has no charm at all.

She really wanted him to marry her, leave the cage of the palace, and hug Jinghua's thigh for the rest of his life, so that he would not have to worry about food or clothing.

Jinghua looked at the distraught certain person, stopped talking nonsense to her, and asked sternly: "Talk about what happened in Huayang Palace today carefully."

Sure enough, he didn't come to see her, but to handle the case.Feng Guanlan thought a little desperately, but after thinking about it, the future will be long, so she felt relieved, and talked about the business: "It was a dark and windy night."

Isn't it tonight, where the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Feng Guanlan continued to babble: "The chaos is chaotic and the wind is blowing, you can't see your fingers—"

Jinghua was too lazy to listen to her hype, so she interrupted directly: "Succinct and to the point."

Feng Guanlan said concisely: "Shen Jinyan thought about my beauty for a long time, and while there was no one around, he wanted to misbehave with me, and then I knocked him out with a porcelain pillow. I just smashed his head at that time, although the blood was There was a lot of bleeding, but I still acted appropriately, and I never planned to kill anyone, and when I left, he was breathing, so it was impossible to die."

Jinghua thought about it.

Feng Guanlan said again: "I wanted to go back and destroy the evidence of hurting people, but I was caught as a murderer first. I don't know how Shen Jinyan died. He was still alive when I left, and he died when he came back. It's too late. Call for someone, and the queen mother brought a group of people here."

Jinghua's face was a little stern, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Shen Jinyan's cause of death was suffocation."

asphyxia?Feng Guanlan's eyes lit up, she was not crushed to death.

"He was strangled to death by a woman."

Feng Guanlan was shocked: "A woman?"

"Ah."

She rested her chin in thought, with an expression of worrying about the country and the people: "This is difficult. That day, Princess Lingzhi was making tea in the Eastern Palace, and there were too many concubines and princesses passing by there." Then he became enlightened, holding his chin, "However, Xiao Jingsi accepted the case, so that's another matter. Although the murderer is cunning and cunning, he is definitely not as cunning and cunning as Xiao Jingsi."

"..." I have to admit that this fallacy makes a lot of sense, Jinghua couldn't find anything to refute, and the question was almost finished, "It's night, you go to bed, you can call Master Han if you have anything to do, he is a treacherous and cunning national teacher." the confidant of man."

After finishing speaking, Jinghua turned around and left, Feng Guanlan reached out and grabbed him: "You left?"

Jinghua pushed her hand away with two fingers.

Feng Guanlan wasn't embarrassed at all, and looked expectant: "Jinghua, today is New Year's Eve."

Jinghua raised her eyebrows.

She continued to insinuate, trying to win with roundabout tactics: "There is still a quarter of an hour before midnight."

Jinghua doesn't like this: "Say what you have to say."

Feng Guanlan said bluntly: "Stay with me on New Year's Eve."

Jinghua turned and left, Feng Guanlan felt that his back was very arrogant, that's all, she spread the fox fur cloak he left behind on the ground, and lay down to sleep.

Of course she won't really confess this cloak, she is not stupid.

The moon is setting and the crowing, the winter sun on the first day of the new year is very good, the breeze is blowing slowly, blowing over the invincible apricot tree in the Xingyue Temple, and the faint fragrance comes by the wind.

The red silk couplets are so festive, and the sound of firecrackers from Jing's house in Liangdu is so lively.

However, with a cold face, Chu Yu walked outside the hall and said to Jinghua, "Whoever set off firecrackers disturbed my sleep, I will arrest you all."

"..." Jinghua just quietly watched him act like a monster. Can the tens of thousands of subjects in the capital be caught?Besides, what's wrong with setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year?

Chu Yu was very dissatisfied, went back to the bedroom, locked the door again, then lay down on the couch, propped his face with one hand, and looked carefully.

He felt that his Ah Luo's sleeping appearance was also extremely beautiful.

Not knowing whether it was the loud firecrackers outside, or Chu Yu's gaze was too hot, Xiao Jingsi woke up leisurely and saw Chu Yu smiling at her, she stretched out her hand, put her arms around his neck and stretched in his arms.

Chu Yu leaned closer to make it easier for Xiao Jingsi to hug her more comfortably, and straightened her messy hair: "Are you still sleeping?"

Xiao Jingsi shook her head.

He carried her out of the brocade quilt, kissed her on the face, and said with a soft smile, "Happy New Year."

Xiao Jingsi was courteous, and kissed Chu Yu's face: "Happy New Year."

Chu Yu was in a happy mood, how could he have such a proud expression, which made his already stunning face even more beautiful, and he didn't ask anyone to come in to wait on him, so he happily changed Xiao Jingsi's clothes by himself.

Because it was this year, Chu Yu picked out a pale crimson dress for her. Xiao Jingsi seldom wore such a bright and pretty color, but it was undeniable that it was very good-looking, with peach blossoms on her human face and cut pupils in autumn water, adding to her cool personality. A little bit charming.

Chu Yu looked at it, and wanted to change it for her again. His A-Rao was so pretty, he was afraid that she would be missed by others.Xiao Jingsi pecked him, and Chu Yu felt relieved after being elated.Then he sat in front of the bronze mirror with her, picked out hairpins for her, and watched her tie her hair.

How can he be so excited, thinking that he will learn it in the future, and then serve Ah Rao every day.

Chu Yu took Xiao Jingsi's comb, combed her hair in a dignified manner, and said: "I hope that I, Ah Rao, will be as smooth as possible."

She smiled slightly.

Chu Yu became interested: "Ah Rao, let me paint your eyebrows."

Literati are especially keen on this, it is said that it can enhance the mood of the boudoir, but Chu Yu is skeptical about this.

On weekdays, she doesn't dislike makeup, so after hesitating for a moment, she let Chu Yu go: "Okay."

He picked up the black brush in one hand, held Xiao Jingsi's face slightly in the other hand, his hands were well-proportioned, white and slender, and looked very good-looking. After a while, he gave Xiao Jingsi a kiss with a sense of accomplishment, and praised her for being beautiful.

Then, draw another stroke.

Draw another stroke.

one more...

The left side is a little higher, and another stroke.

It seems that the right side is a little lower again, and continue to make a stroke.

One stroke after another...

Chu Yu frowned more and more.

Until he stopped, Xiao Jingsi opened his eyes and looked at him: "Are you ready?"

Chu Yu hesitated: "Okay." The voice was like a mosquito, and he hesitated for a while, then handed over a bronze mirror, and said to Xiao Jingsi seriously, "Ah Rao, I think you are beautiful, so you don't need to draw eyebrows at all. .”

Xiao Jingsi glanced at the bronze mirror, was taken aback for a while, and said after a long time, "I think so too."

In the bronze mirror, the woman's face is clear and beautiful, her eyes are bright and full of autumn water, except for a pair of eyebrows, which are very thick, very... heavy.

Xiao Jingsi laughed.

Chu Yu was a little injured, she wiped it off carefully with a handkerchief after dipping it in water, and said with a sullen expression, "Ah Rao, do you think I can't draw well?" Before Xiao Jingsi could answer, he was sad again, "Are you Didn't you dislike me for not understanding boudoir fun?"

Xiao Jingsi: "..."

Chu Yu is so disappointed.

She shook her head quickly: "How can I dislike you, you are just not skilled, and it will be better if you draw a few more times in the future."

Chu Yu's eyes suddenly turned cloudy: "Okay, I will study hard."

In fact, Xiao Jingsi felt that Chu Yu of her family didn't seem to have the talent in this area, but she couldn't bear to beat him, so she let him go. She just... went to the court with a heavy monogram eyebrow.

"master."

Zixiang called out from outside the bedroom, but did not enter the hall, and said: "All the empresses and princesses in the palace, as well as the ministers and wives of the court have sent New Year gifts, master, do you want to see them?"

According to the usual practice, the courtiers will rest from the first day to the seventh day of the new year. Most of them are visiting relatives and friends, and communicating with colleagues. The courtiers' female family members are busy at this time. Great Liang, which has a strict hierarchy, attaches great importance to etiquette, and this year's etiquette is indispensable. In the past, a group of imperial wives would go to Huayang Palace to meet the queen mother first, but now it is different, now that the Master of the National Teacher is in power, the noble ladies in Kyoto naturally have the entrustment of the adults in their families and treat them well.

Xiao Jingsi only said: "I returned the gift for me, and informed everyone that the case of Mr. Shen's case has progressed, and my teacher needs to go to Wuzuo Academy, and I have no time to see guests."

"Yes." Zixiang understood and withdrew.

"Ah Rao already has a countermeasure?" Chu Yu took the outer clothes on the screen and put them on for her. Perhaps she had never served others before, so she didn't know the importance.

"Yeah." She opened her hand, followed Chu Yu's clumsy movements, "Lead the snake out of the hole, don't ask yourself."

He was suddenly very happy: "Ah Rao, you are so smart, the baby we will have in the future will definitely be the smartest."

Xiao Jingsi was stunned: "..." This topic is a bit jumpy.

However, Chu Yu's words are half right and wrong, there are two in a litter, naturally there are extremely smart ones, and there are... well, relatively not so extremely smart ones, a bowl of water can't be divided evenly, so after many years, in order to meddle in listening Rong Yaozun, Sister Taohua racked her brains and only came up with a trilogy: play hooligans, throw down, throw down and play hooligans again.

At noon, Dali Temple Wu Zuo opened his abdomen again for an autopsy, and concluded that the cause of death of the Shen family son was suffocation. Moreover, due to the cold weather, the body was parked overnight, and the wound that could not be detected before slowly emerged. Fingerprints were discovered, which further proved the cause of death as suffocation.

Wu Zuo concluded that this young master Shen was strangled to death.

The fingerprints on the corpse's neck were clearly visible after special treatment by an experienced old monk. It was not difficult to conclude that the fingerprints were left by a woman, and said that as long as the murderer's fingers were compared with it, the truth would be revealed.

At that moment, the National Teacher took the fingerprint of the suspect Zhu'an, and after comparing it, it did not match, so the National Teacher immediately released Princess Zhu'an.

Afterwards, Master Guoshi issued an oral order, ordering all the female relatives who were in Huayang Palace that day to go to the Wu Zuoyuan of Dali Temple tomorrow to compare the fingerprints and interrogate them one by one.

It was night, outside the courtyard, the brazier was illuminated, the apricot moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and the courtyard was eerily quiet, so that the sound of falling leaves blown by the wind outside the courtyard could be clearly heard.

Suddenly, the open fire flickered slightly, and the shadow on the eaves was blown by, and the wind blew softly. The black shadow jumped up and hid in the morgue of the main courtyard while the patrols were handing over.

A row of coffins was placed horizontally, there were seven coffins in total from the beginning to the end, none of them were sealed, covered with white cloth, and the air was very cold.

The man was in black night clothes, his face was covered with a black cloth, only revealing a pair of dark eyes, he was tall and slightly thin, he was a man.

Unhurriedly, he lifted the white cloth from the rows of coffins one by one to look at them. When he reached the last coffin, he just stretched out his hand, and the white cloth turned up a corner. Feng: "You are finally here."

A woman's voice, such a voice so familiar without thinking.

Suddenly, an open flame rose, bright as day, and the sound of footsteps was the sound of people and horses surging.

It was still the windy and cold voice, as if floating from a distance: "The corpse you are looking for is inside, in the third coffin."

The man in black suddenly raised his eyes. Across several coffins, a woman came from behind the white silk hanging to the ground. She was wearing a light crimson dress, which seemed to be glistening in all kinds of colors in the plain white, which was particularly delicate.

It was Xiao Jingsi, beside her, Chu Yu stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"You lied to me?"

The man's voice was obviously deliberately modified, and it was extremely low and hoarse.

She nodded generously: "Well, I lied to you." No matter how clear the fingerprints on the corpse were, it would be impossible to compare them to the real murderer. They were just the bait for her to lure the snake out of the hole.Xiao Jingsi raised her eyes and stared, and said, "Are you going to catch him without a fight, or are you dying?"

The man in black was very calm and composed, turning the dagger in his hand: "I would like to exchange ideas with you."

There was a bit of a smile in this tone, and the corners of the exposed black eyes were slightly raised, and there was a bit of cynical banter.

Without waiting for Xiao Jingsi to speak, Chu Yu snorted coldly: "Who wants to compete with you." After speaking, he protected Xiao Jingsi behind him, and ordered without further ado, "Shoot an arrow to my son."

The man in black glared: "You—"

Before he could finish his sentence, arrows shot over, coming from all directions, densely packed, the man hurriedly dodged, although his figure was strong and his lightness skill was excellent, but he couldn't guard against the rain of arrows, and he fell into the wind in a short while, and it was a bit difficult to advance gradually, with many arms They were all pierced by arrows, so embarrassed.

Xiao Jingsi raised his hand, and the defenders on the periphery immediately retracted their bows and stood ready. The man had time to breathe and adjust his breath.

She asked, "Surrender or not?"

The man stared directly at Xiao Jingsi, with mixed emotions in his eyes, but his eyes were shining like moonlight, with a bit of deep meaning, and he remained silent for a long time.

No drop?

The whole Great Liang knew that Chu Yu was impatient: "Light the fire, let the arrows go!"

ignition……

With an order, all the defenders lit their arrows, clusters of flames rose up, pulled on the arrows, the bows were full, and they were ready to go.

Well, you are ruthless!
The man shouted: "Slow down!"

Chu Yu snorted, and the defenders on the periphery turned off their fire again, waiting to be dealt with.

The man gave Chu Yu a cold look, and raised his hand to take off the scarf.

Xiao Jingsi's eyes were light: "It really is you."

There was no surprise at all, but the other party was surprised: "You know it's me?"

With a pair of peach blossom eyes, the romantic and suave His Royal Highness King Jin, at this time, with his night clothes torn and several wounds still bleeding, he was really in a bit of a mess.

Xiao Jingsi was noncommittal.

Chu Yu's praise sounded at the right time: "Ah Rao, you are so smart." This adoring face couldn't be more fascinated.

Feng Yuqing was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and stared at Chu Yu with fiery eyes: "You know it's me, and you still shoot arrows?" He was very angry, "You still shoot arrows?"

Feng Yuqing dares to bet that Chu Yu must be avenging his own private revenge!

Chu Yu turned a blind eye and listened but asked Xiao Jingsi, "Ah Rao, do you want me to arrest him and torture him to extract a confession?"

Chu Yu was very excited when he said the word torture to extract a confession.

Feng Yuqing: "..." Crackling her fingers, she didn't want to say anything more to Chu Yu, and looked at Xiao Jingsi, "My mother and concubine said she didn't leave any evidence, how did you know?"

Xiao Jingsi thought for a while, and said, "Guess."

"..." Feng Yuqing was speechless.

It is not a secret that Princess Zhu'an and Xiao Jingsi have a good relationship, and all the people in the East Palace have come to a bad end, but Feng Guanlan is alone. There is no doubt that it is Xiao Jingsi who is protecting her.

Once the son of the Shen family died, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely not give up on Princess Zhu'an, and Xiao Jingsi would certainly not stand idly by. In this way, it is not difficult to guess who will benefit from Zhou Wangfu's confrontation with the Regent State Teacher.

What's more, there are dark threads all over the palace, so how can people not notice when there is a disturbance.

Feng Yuqing was at a loss for a long time: "Since you already know, what is the purpose of luring me here?"

The faint smile in her eyes is paradoxical: "I just want to tell His Highness Prince Jin that if I nod, there are many ways to subjugate your mother and concubine. Of course, there are also many ways to drag you into the water."

On this point, he had no doubt: "So, you want to drag me into the water?" He and her have never been enemies, nor have they been friends. It was the first time that they were so open and honest.

Xiao Jingsi smiled: "His Royal Highness, how about we make a deal?"

Half an hour later, Feng Yuqing treated the wound on her body before going to Hanzhang Hall. Concubine Rong Xie was pacing back and forth in the front hall, and when she saw Feng Yuqing coming, she ran over in a hurry.

"Emperor, what's the matter?" Concubine Rong asked after waving the palace servants away, "Is the corpse ruined?"

Feng Yuqing walked into the hall, took a lax look on the couch, and said, "Concubine Mu, you underestimate Xiao Jingsi too much."

Concubine Rong was stunned: "Did she find you?"

"I'm afraid she knew about it from the time you made your move in Huayang Palace, mother concubine."

Concubine Rong turned pale with shock.

Feng Yuqing lay lazily, feeling some pain from the arrow wound on her body, gritted her teeth and greeted Chu Yu a few more words, poured a cup of tea, and asked casually: "Why do you want to make your own decisions?" If you act recklessly, you will definitely be caught by Xiao Jingsi.

Concubine Rong's face suddenly darkened: "If I don't do anything, are you going to hand over the Feng family's power to Xiao Jingsi?"

Feng Yuqing didn't answer, and just drank his tea by herself.

So leisurely and content, without the slightest defensiveness, Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment: "Qing'er, have you already surrendered to her?"

"I can't beat her."

The answer was vague, but the tone was taken for granted, as if a gesture of surrender to Xiao Jingsi.

Concubine Rong was furious, and the anger that she had endured for a long time poured out: "When have you ever fought? You obviously don't want to be an enemy of her."

Feng Yuqing raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that the concubine mother knows her son very well."

"Are you really going to give up your imperial career for a woman?" Concubine Rong was always calm, and she was rarely so aggressive.

Feng Yuqing said no, and her tone was quite earnest: "Mother Concubine, it was because of you that I agreed to join forces with Xiao Jingsi just now."

The implication is that it's my mother's fault!
Concubine Rong trembled with anger.

Looking forward to their son becoming a dragon, there is no concubine who does not want her son to ascend to the supreme throne. She has been planning for many years. This emperor's career has been planned for so many years. Ever since Xiao Jingsi entered the palace, the world has been turned upside down, and Feng Yuqing was probably blinded by her beauty. , actually became an idle prince, and what he saw in his eyes was no longer the Great Liang Jiangshan, but the woman's every move, frown and smile.

"What kind of ecstasy soup did she give you?!"

Feng Yuqing seemed to think about it seriously: "I have to ask her."

This look of being willing to fight and suffer!Concubine Rong casually took a cup and threw it at it: "Stupid!" She said earnestly, "My lord, listen to my concubine, as long as you get on that seat, the whole world, the whole Great Liang will belong to you. Let alone a woman."

Feng Yuqing suddenly suppressed the smile in her eyes, without the slightest bit of playfulness: "Mother Concubine, you should give up that heart." Deep in the burning eyes, there seemed to be a hint of sadness, and he seemed to smile, "I can't help it, with her Meet with swords."

Because you don't want to meet with swords, you hand over this great river and mountain to others?
He has never been such a loving person, even though he is famous, but he has never really caught any woman in his eyes, just Xiao Jingsi, who was inexplicably let him down, and lost everything.

Concubine Rong was furious: "Why are you so stubborn!"

He joked, seemingly genuinely, "It should be Xiao Jingsi who poured me a very strong ecstasy soup." He stood up leisurely, and when he turned around, "My son has already surrendered to her, so if the concubine mother doesn't want to see my son's blood If there is no return, don’t force me to instigate rebellion.”
