The concubine is on top: the cute prince, get down

Chapter 160 The Suspect
Those who work in the palace will be recorded in a roster, so as not to make any mistakes when they are working, and then they can follow the arrangement on the roster to find that person.

Eunuch Liu immediately went to fetch the registration list, glanced at the list above, and called out all the people who had just burned incense, because Nalan Haopeng had just sealed off the palace, so these maids and eunuchs were still in the palace. Here, it is not a problem to find the person who just burned incense.

There were two court ladies and two eunuchs who came out, and the incense burning in the palace only had four directions, so it was not surprising that there were only these four people.

The four of them stood tremblingly in the hall. If such a big incident happened, they would be really idiots if they didn't realize the seriousness.

The four of them knelt down tacitly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't know anything, I just burn incense as ordered."

The one who spoke was a thin young eunuch, he didn't look very big, probably only about ten years old, and the other eunuch was also not very old, but his body was relatively strong.The two maids kept their heads down from beginning to end, one was relatively taller and the other was petite and exquisite.

Nalan Hao Peng just raised his eyebrows, and was not moved by their begging for mercy, "Then tell me what's going on? I asked you to burn incense, but what kind of incense are you all burning!"

Nalan Hao Peng slammed coldly, and the four of them were trembling with fright, while Jiang Jingshu, who had almost become a suspect just now, rested his chin in one hand and watched boredly. The murderer is found, and he no longer has to be a suspect.

The four knelt on the ground and dared not speak any more. Liu Lan took the roster in Eunuch Liu's hand and glanced at the list on it, "Now I will give you a chance to defend yourself. Put him in jail."

His voice was cold, and the four of them became even more frightened.

The eunuch Jianshuo endured the fear in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "The little one just went directly to burn the incense according to the instructions, and didn't touch the incense at all."

Because the incense was hung on the pillars of the main hall, floating down round and round, so when they burned the incense, they didn't have to take it down at all, they just lit the fire directly.

The other three also nodded, but the tall womb woman seemed to have remembered something, and her voice became a little excited, "I just walked to that place to burn incense, and I saw Xiao Lizi just leave from under the sandalwood. .” She pointed to a certain location and then contemplated for a while, as if recalling the scene just now, and the location she mentioned happened to be the location where she burned the incense.

Yun Xiangchu squinted his eyes and looked at her. Why didn't this court lady say anything just now? Why didn't she say it until now?Moreover, her movements seemed to be a little deliberate, no matter what, this court lady was a little strange.

"Little Lizi?" Liu Lan frowned slightly, then turned her head and shouted to the place where the maids and eunuchs were standing, "Little Lizi, come out."

I saw an eunuch who was also young coming out of the crowd. He lowered his head and seemed to be muttering something in his mouth.

"Do you have anything to say?" Liu Lan turned around and looked at Xiao Lizi, who was so frightened that Xiao Li immediately knelt down on the ground, "Please forgive me...Master Liu...please forgive me...I don't know anything At that time, it was Xiaojie who asked the little one to go to help, and the little one went there." He pointed at the petite maid and said a little at a loss.

The petite court lady called Xiaojie suddenly raised her head to look at Xiao Lizi, her face was full of disbelief, her face suddenly turned pale and looked a little scary, she bit her lip but did not speak.

It's just that her rich expression is enough to show that she is innocent, so there is no need to say anything more.

Yun Xiangchu kept looking back and forth at these people. No matter how he looked at them, there was always something suspicious among them, but they said burning incense...then there must be a little smell of fishy herbs.

Ignoring the others, Yun Xiangchu walked up to the little Lizi, "You said you were helping in the past, so what did you help in the past?"

When asked by Yun Xiangchu, Xiao Lizi was instantly at a loss for words, that's right, it's just burning incense and how can I help.

Suddenly, Xiao Lizi's mind flashed, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone, "The little one used to help Xiaorou burn incense. After all, the height of the sandalwood is a bit reluctant for them."

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He glanced at the tall womb girl Xiaorou, and then looked at himself. Their height can be said that Xiaorou is a little taller than him, so what? Need his help?

Yun Xiangchu crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "It's useless to lie in front of me. I can tell who is lying and who is telling the truth."

Liu Lan was a little surprised by what Yun Xiangchu said, but she still didn't say anything, and let Yun Xiangchu handle the matter.

Regarding this, Nalan Hao Peng just put on a bad face. Who made him want to find the murderer, otherwise how could he give an explanation to the envoys of the other two countries?So at this time, he can't rush to get rid of Jiang Jingshu, and blame this woman for being troublesome anyway.

Seeing Yun Xiangchu getting attention everywhere in the hall, the concubine Ling sitting in the hall was very upset. How dare this woman show her face in such a way, how shameless!

Resentment turned into resentment in her heart, after all, she did nothing, she was able to survive in the harem, she was not without a little brain, knowing that now is not the time to make trouble, but now it is a matter of Yun Ni's face, if this woman can find the culprit Fortunately, if you can't find it, you still want her to look good when you come.

"Small... small..." Xiao Lizi's eyeballs kept shaking, obviously thinking of something. Although Yun Xiangchu didn't know why the eunuch was lying, she knew that this guy was not a murderer. He also didn't know that the fragrance was mixed with fishy herbs.

In order to make a further judgment, Yun Xiangchu still asked the question, "Do you know that this sandalwood is mixed with fishy herb?"

Little Lizi's eyes were full of panic, but the panic was revealed because of fear, "I don't know... I don't know about this at all..."

No one noticed that Xiao Jie, who lowered her head, raised her voice when Xiao Lizi spoke, and a cold light flashed in his eyes when he said he didn't know.

Yun Xiangchu nodded, "I see."
