The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 51

Li Ye said in surprise: "Say it!"

That Jin Wuwei said: "One day before the family banquet of your majesty at the end of the year, you sent Xiaozi, a member of Mr. Zhao's eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to fetch Wu Daozi's "Picture of Sending the Son of the Heavenly King". It's even more because Yu Gonggong came here when the shift was over, so when the prince asked about it just now, he forgot about it for a while!"

Li Ye said: "Very good! If the case is solved because of this, I will give you some credit!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The Jinwu guard saluted and retreated respectfully.

Heng Yue said: "The lowly ones will leave, if the prince still has something to do, just give me orders!"

Li Ye nodded, and Heng Yue led the crowd back out.

Xiao Yu said: "Eunuch Zhao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is my good friend, I will invite him!"

Li Ye instructed: "When that little boy comes, please keep quiet and don't startle the snake!"

"No!" Xiao Yu walked out of the Huae Building through the side door with a few strides. After a while, Eunuch Zhao accompanied Xiao Yu and brought Xiao Yu into the hall.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Xue!" Eunuch Zhao bowed to Eunuch Yu.

Li Ye said: "There is no need for these empty gifts! Eunuch Yu, this time the king summoned you to ask about something important!"

Yu Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, please tell me!"

Li Yedao: "The day before your Majesty's family banquet at the end of the year, have you ever been to Huae Tower?"

Eunuch Yu was taken aback for a moment. He wondered why King Xue had no relationship with him, so why he summoned him in such a hurry. Hearing what he said, he actually connected himself with the murder in Huae Tower. For a while, his legs went limp , knelt down on the ground, and begged: "My lord! This slave has always been loyal and never harmed Concubine Li and Huangfu Deyi!"

Li Ye was a little displeased when he saw that he was so frightened that he froze as soon as he asked a question.Eunuch Zhao kicked him and said: "Look at your prospects, His Royal Highness Xue Wang didn't say that he did it! He just asked you! If you answer well, the prince will make the decision for you!"

"Yes! Yes!" Eunuch Yu said, sweating profusely, "The servant did come to Huae Tower that day to fetch the painting of the Holy Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Delivering a Child" for His Majesty!"

Xiao Yu said: "Have you ever found anything suspicious in the hall?"

Eunuch Yu hesitated and said: "What is suspicious?...No! The servant just went up to the second floor, took the painting from the Zhenhua Pavilion, and then left through the side door! Didn't notice anything suspicious in the main hall!"

"Really!" Li Ye frowned, it seems that this clue is about to be broken!

Eunuch Zhao said: "Xiaozi, you were cultivated by my father-in-law. If you really know something about this and tell the truth, my father-in-law will also miss you!"

Eunuch Yu said with a smile all over his face: "Eunuch Zhao's support and support, I dare not forget it, but there is really nothing suspicious!"

Li Ye looked at his words and saw that he was slippery, so he thought of some way to pry his mouth open.

Xiao Yu saw his eyes flickering, he clearly had something to say, thinking about Chang Xi who was still unconscious in Xue Wang Bieye, if this clue was broken, Chang Xi might really suffer injustice, and Longyan would be furious , I'm afraid King Xue can't protect her either!In anger, he grabbed Eunuch Yu's neck and said angrily: "Look at your hesitation, you obviously didn't say something! Just pretend I didn't see it! You can say it today, if you don't, be careful that I will crush your words." neck!!"

Eunuch Yu was so frightened that his legs sifted through the chaff, and he tremblingly tried to break Xiao Yu's hand away, but he only used one hand, but it was still clasped around his neck like iron tongs. Cold sweat flowed down the gully on his face!

Eunuch Zhao and Li Ye were also taken aback. Seeing that Xiao Yu was about to strangle the only clue in his rage, they all stopped him. Xiao Yu watched Eunuch Yu's face turn from white to red, then purple, before letting go. hand.

Eunuch Yu took a few breaths as if he was about to receive an amnesty.

Li Ye said coldly: "Does it feel good? Do you want to do it again, or do you want to tell the truth?!"

Eunuch Yu crawled to Li Ye's feet, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, spare me! This slave is telling the truth!"

"Say!!" Xiao Yu shouted angrily.

Eunuch Yu trembled in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "The servant came to Huaelou to pick up paintings that day, and found a hairpin near the side door of the main hall. The servant saw that the hairpin was exquisitely made, and became greedy for a moment! The servant is just greedy, But there is absolutely no trap set up to harm Concubine Li! Please look into it, Your Highness!"

Seeing that he was terrified, Li Ye knew it was not a lie this time, so he asked, "Where is that hairpin now?"

Yu Gonggong said: "Hiding under the servant's pillow!"

Hearing what he said, Eunuch Zhao hurriedly said: "Slave go get it!" After a while, he ran back with a cloud-foot pearl hairpin in his hand, and said: "His Royal Highness, this hairpin is under the pillow! "

Li Ye took the hairpin and showed it to Eunuch Yu, and asked, "Is it this one?"

Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes!"

Xiao Yu said: "It doesn't look like something that ordinary maids can have, no wonder he became greedy and wanted to hide it." As he said that, he took a look at Eunuch Yu who was kneeling on the ground and dared not look up.

Li Ye said to Eunuch Zhao: "Please trouble Eunuch to keep him under guard! When this king has heard the case and reported it to His Majesty, he will be required to be a witness!"

Eunuch Zhao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant will definitely take care of him!" After speaking, he kicked Eunuch Yu's ass and said angrily, "Get out of here with Eunuch!"

"Good! Good!" Eunuch Yu followed Eunuch Zhao out of the Huae Tower with a nod and bow.

Li Ye and Xiao Yu went to the inner prison again, and asked if this hairpin belonged to a powerful maid in Kunde Palace, and all the maids shook their heads.

It was dusk now, Li Ye saw that it was getting late and he had to leave the palace before the key was released, so he and Xiao Yu went back to Bieye in Chang'an City to visit Chang Xi.

Walking into the garden, you can see that there is nowhere around, and the blue plum blossoms are stained with crystal snowflakes, which looks very cute.Li Ye took Xiao Yu and pushed the door in. He saw that on the bed, the tent was hung high, and Chang Xi was lying on his back. A candlelight shone on her body. The long eyelashes covered the eyes, trembling slightly, and the red marks on the skin exposed on the body, coupled with the delicate body, made people feel more distressed.

Li Ye stepped forward and gently pushed her, calling out in a low voice: "Little lady!"

"Hmm..." Chang Xi frowned, rubbed her eyes, saw that it was Li Ye, turned her head and saw Xiao Yu standing on the ground, knelt on the couch involuntarily, opened her arms, and called out in a choked voice : "Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Yu didn't care whether Li Ye was present or not, he ran forward a few steps and hugged Chang Xi in his arms!Chang Xi hid in his arms and began to cry.

Li Ye watched from the side with embarrassment and jealousy, and said angrily, "Little lady is so heartless!"

After hearing these words, Chang Xi came out of Xiao Yu's arms and said, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me!"

"I saved you because I wanted to hear such high-sounding polite words! I'm so pissed off!" Li Ye said angrily.

Chang Xi blushed and was about to say something.

Li Ye said: "Forget it! It's just that the king is not here to be eye-catching! But little lady, remember, this king likes you, and will never let you fall into the hands of other men easily, hehe!" After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and left.

Xiao Yu and Chang Xi looked at his back and smiled wryly.
