Madam, she always wants to bring trouble to the world

Chapter 281 One Stem, Two Flowers: Twin Lotuses

The side pavilion of the apse is the only place in the temple where there are relatively few people. Few people go there. It is a place for those who come here to rest when they are not feeling well.

There is a layer of stone slabs paved in the yard of the side pavilion, and there is an aisle on the side, and on both sides of the aisle is a piece of land planted with flowers and plants.Because of the rain last night, the ground was a bit wet, and there were several people's footprints on the ground, and the corpse was lying in the corner behind the flowers and plants.

For fear of destroying the evidence, the corpse has not been touched by others, nor has it been moved. So far, not many people have been close to the corpse.

Ye Yunshen squatted down next to the corpse. The clothes of the corpse were not completely wet. The blood from the wound on the front body stained the grass beside the corpse. There was also a blood-stained knife beside the corpse.

He observed carefully, his eyes sweeping over the corpse's wound, body and many places around him.

"The body was discovered by the patrolling guards. This person is also the guard in charge of guarding the temple. Usually, he has a close relationship with the guards and the God Envoy. He did not commit suicide. Therefore, I refuse to speculate that it should be a thief who stole it. He discovered the Bingzhan Jade Lotus later, so he was killed and discarded here."

Fourteen speculated that he had also inspected this corpse, and the fatal part was the knife wound in front of him. According to the diameter of the knife and the sharp weapon found at the scene, it should be the knife on the side that fell on the ground, which was specially used by the guards of the temple. Saber.

Ye Yunshen stood up, looked around, and then asked seemingly casually: "Why was the Piange unattended last night?"

At this time, a man in his 40s came forward and said lightly: "Go back to the prince, most of the guards were transferred to guard the temple last night, and there is no one in the side pavilion, so no one is on duty."

He was wearing a gray-white plain robe, and his long gray hair was tied up with a black crown. This person was the envoy responsible for guarding the temple——Hong Zhongyin.

"Then why is he here?"

Judging from the situation at the scene, this was the first death scene. There were no signs of fighting around, and the body did not show any traces of being dragged. It is very likely that the deceased fell directly to the ground after being killed with a knife.

However, if there is no one on duty here, then what's the matter with him appearing here?If the thief was found outside and followed in, then this is unlikely. The guards usually form a team and rarely act alone.

"My lord, I just heard from the guards that he left in a hurry last night during his patrol, and went to the Piange side, and never came back after that." Hong Zhongyin also showed a thoughtful face, and shook his head lightly.

Ye Yun pondered deeply, and then said: "Send someone to invite you to conduct an autopsy to find other clues about the corpse."

"Yes, my lord." The subordinate bowed his hands in agreement.

"Fourteen, go to the palace to see His Majesty, this king already knows how to retrieve the ice cup jade lotus." Ye Yunshen said, walked out of the grass and walked outside the side pavilion.

"Yes." Fourteen took the order and went with him.

However, Hong Zhongyin stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey, my lord, how do you plan to get back the ice cup jade lotus?"

Ye Yunshen stopped, turned slightly to look at Hong Zhongyin, and said with a smile, "If the envoy wants to know, he can enter the palace with me."

Hong Zhongyin pondered for a while, then walked towards him, and followed him into the palace.

...

After entering the palace, the eunuch led them to a waterside pavilion in the imperial garden, where the Nanyue emperor was currently feeding the fish by the pond.

After saluting, the Nanyue Emperor began to inquire about their entry into the palace, and Ye Yunshen said, "Your Majesty, I have already thought of a way to retrieve the Bingzhan Jade Lotus."

"Oh? I don't know what the idle king can do?" The Nanyue emperor handed the small porcelain jar containing fish food to the little eunuch beside him, and walked slowly towards the two of them.

However, Ye Yunshen did not answer, but instead asked Hong Zhongyin who was beside him, "I wonder if the envoy ever knew about this ice cup jade lotus?"

Hong Zhongyin was taken aback for a moment, and then asked back: "I don't know what the prince is referring to?"

The corners of his lips curled up, and Ye Yunshen turned to face the Nanyue Emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the ice calendula jade lotus is a rare spiritual thing, when it is condensed, one stem produces two flowers, so it is also called twin lotus. "

What he said, anyone who knows a little about Bingzhan Yulian knows.

But Nanyue Emperor didn't quite understand what he meant, "So, what does Xian Wang mean?"

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I once heard a rumor from an old man when I was away. As long as the secret technique of transforming spirits is used, the twin lotuses can communicate with each other. And I happen to know this secret technique of transforming spirits, so I want to use the secret technique of transforming spirits try."

A few words explained the matter clearly, and after the words fell, he bent slightly, the meaning was obvious.

The other Bingzhan Jade Lotus is in the palace now, and he is begging for it from the Nanyue Emperor.

...

In the middle of the night, the wind blew a little cold, Feng Qingyue sat on the side of the bed, while Feng Qingyan was sleeping soundly, gently pulled her hand out of the quilt, and her slender and slender jade fingers touched her thin white fingers. wrist.

Not long after, his cold brows frowned slightly, and his eyes slowly moved up. Her peaceful sleeping face fell into his eyes, and the expression in his eyes darkened a little.

He retracted his jade fingers, gently put her hands back into the quilt, and stretched out his hands to pinch the quilt tightly for her after getting up. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he caught a glimpse of Huan Huan sleeping in the corner of the bed.

When he left, he looked away, and when he reached the door, he gently closed the door from the outside. Outside the door, Yunluo had long been waiting according to his wishes.

As soon as the door was closed, Feng Qingyan on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, looked in the direction of the door, and sighed softly.

Then, she looked at Huan Huan who was sleeping soundly, raised her hand and pulled a corner of the quilt to cover it.

She couldn't help but pouted, she fell directly on the bed, stretched out her hand and pulled the quilt, covering herself completely.

...

In the courtyard, Feng Qingyue stood with his hands behind his back, the cold moonlight shone on him, and the light blue uniform melted into the moonlight, adding a bit of coldness to him. In his eyes, there was nothing but indifference.

"Yunluo, what happened to Ayan during my absence?"

When he opened his mouth, he couldn't tell whether he was in a mood of joy or anger, the delicate profile of his face was outlined, and the evening wind blew his clothes slightly, his figure was tall and straight.

Therefore, Yunluo roughly told what happened to Feng Qingyan after he went out, and how the two sisters of the Lu family treated her, of course she didn't say a word, even full of hatred.

"My lord, you don't know. The princess fell off a cliff when she went out with them two months ago. Thanks to the fate of the princess, she was fine. Later, the princess entered the cottage without knowing why. His Royal Highness slandered the princess and lost her innocence. , asked His Majesty to divorce the marriage, but the princess turned his back on the army. These people want to bully the princess all day long, but it is good that you are back, son..."

"What about the idle king?"

Feng Qingyue suddenly made a sound, interrupting what Yunluo was about to say.
