Sheng Chong and God Investigate the Princess

Chapter 25 Cinnamon Wine
On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, the moon is like frost, and the evening wind is like water. In the yard in front of the official residence of Fuliang County, a man in red is leaning lazily under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree under the moonlight.

Suddenly there was a sound of wind.

His eyes turned, and he spoke lazily, his voice was slightly colder than the night: "Have you found it?"

In the depths of the tree shadows, someone whispered, "Master, there is news from the secret guards of the capital. The queen's men left the capital ten days ago at a high speed, and they seem to be heading for Chenzhou."

Duan Sinan's eyes froze.

——Chenzhou, guarded by General Xuanwu.General Xuanwu was one of the aides who abolished the prince in the past. He was originally a second-rank general. After the Donggong incident, he was saved by the current emperor who was still the prince at that time. He was demoted to fifth rank and transferred to Chenzhou.

"As expected, she still doesn't give up." Duan Sinan raised the corners of his lips and chuckled lightly.Under the moonlight, the bright colors overwhelm the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the courtyard, "General Xuanwu completely gave up on the imperial court after the incident in the East Palace. Now that the emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to promote him but was rejected by him. It is understandable that he prefers Chenzhou It's just that, it arouses the Queen's suspicion even more."

The people in the dark waited for his order without saying a word.

Duan Sinan suddenly sneered, "Forget it, there are many heirs in General Xuanwu's mansion, just picking one will be enough for the queen to investigate for a long time. Wouldn't it be a pity not to use such a good cover-up?"

"Yes." The man immediately understood what he meant.It was the wind again, and there was no trace.

Duan Sinan lifted the glazed wine cup in front of him, and took a sip.

After all, things are right and people are wrong.Who would have thought that the best friend back then would be the current opponent?
He swallowed the sake lightly, only feeling the astringency in the sweetness.For that position, he and the queen—a confidant who used to be so close—finally stood in different camps.

But now, Zuo Xiangfu is so powerful that it overthrows the capital.In order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives, after a hundred years of the emperor, it is absolutely impossible for her child to become the Ninth Five-Year King!

She was still as clumsy and paranoid as ever.

Duan Sinan took another sip of sake, cinnamon in it, and then put down the wine cup, his eyes were filled with sadness, but it was bloodthirsty and ruthless.

He must find the orphan of the former prince and bring it to the emperor safely!
When you meet a god, kill a god, when you meet a Buddha, kill a Buddha!
This is Duan Sinan!

Suddenly, the night wind whipped up fallen flowers, and there were small footsteps in the wind.He quickly suppressed the hostility in his eyes, and played with the exquisite wine cup on the ground.When he raised his head again, his eyes were already full of beauty and charm, and the wind was graceful.

Someone outside the courtyard pushed the firewood door lightly and entered.That person's flesh was cold, plain clothes and makeup, colder than the moonlight, but his eyes were full of stars.Her eyebrows seemed to be filled with worry, but she walked slowly and calmly.

It was Yayoi.

Many years later, Duan Sinan still remembered how Yayoi walked towards him that night.Surrounded by the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, the moonlight is far away, the girl is cold, and the moon is full of flowers.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating.

Duan Sinan picked up the wine cup again and drank it down in one gulp.

Yayoi sat down next to him and said nothing.

Duan Sinan took out another glazed flower wine cup from his cuff as if conjuring, picked up the wine jar, poured a glass of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and handed it to Yayoi.Yayoi took it silently and took a sip.

The shadows of flowers are swaying, the shadows of trees are whirling, and the fragrance is permeating.

Duan Sinan also poured a cup for himself, toasted to look at the moon, and suddenly smiled: "Autumn flowers and moonlit night, beautiful scenery on a good day, who else can I tell?"

Yayoi spoke suddenly, and it was not difficult to hear a smile in the quiet voice: "Raise your glass to invite Mingyue, Mr. Duan, you are drunk."

Duan Sinan drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp and did not refute.

—he was drunk.

"How's the case in hand?" He put down the wine cup and asked suddenly.

"Complicated and confusing." Yayoi returned, and drank it all in one gulp.Sitting woman came to see Tang Ruoying's body, and said that she had never seen such a tragic scene in most of her life, but there was nothing wrong with Tang Ruoying's body.Ah Qi went to the Tang residence to inquire, and she also said that Tang Ruoying only ate vegetarian food and never touched meat.

The wolf was not attracted, could it be that he was wrong?Was it true that Tang Ruoying met a wolf by chance and the wolf killed her?
Despite all the helplessness in her heart, Tang Ruoying's body was taken away, and the case ended as an "accident".Yayoi had to admit that maybe she was overthinking.

But she was a little reconciled, because there was something wrong with the case, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Duan Sinan didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic and asked: "Shen Butou, what's your favorite food?"

Yayoi was taken aback for a moment, but did not avoid it, and replied honestly, "Litchi."

Duan Sinan's face looked at the moon, Yayoi didn't see it clearly, he only heard him chuckle: "Why?"

"All the songs of the Qing Dynasty spread the teeth, and this place of peace of mind is my hometown." Yayoi suddenly lay back on the ground.She also looked at the moon. This long and beautiful beauty is the most melancholy, "Everyone in the world says this is the food of gods and concubines, but in my opinion, it is just a specialty of Lingnan. Dongpo's works describe the jade lady who moved to Lingnan from the left." Anle and calm, make people envy. It is said that it is litchi, but it is just what the heart wants."

Duan Sinan turned to look at her.The girl's eyes are as bright as stars, and the boundless and vast starry sky is reflected in her eyes.

His smile deepened.

"What about you?" Yayoi asked, looking at him.

The man's voice resounded in the dark night, low and sweet, like the Buddhist temple's Zen voice echoing in the valley, calming: "I love eating green balls the most."

Yayoi didn't expect the things he likes to be so common.

He seemed to see what Yayoi was thinking, and said, "I haven't eaten since my mother passed away."

--I see.Yayoi understood.The food made by my mother always has a special meaning. I cook it every year and every day. If one day people are gone, it will be even more sad to see things and think about others.

She remembered that her mother liked to warm plum wine under the flowers, and the fragrance was far away.There are also glutinous rice lotus root slices, lily barley cake, red dates and jasmine dew, which she and Wanmei both loved to eat at that time, but now, everyone is gone.

Except for her.

She looked at the stars in the sky and slowly closed her eyes.

When will I be able to feel at ease in my hometown.

The night wind blows, and the surroundings are quiet.For a moment, she forgot about the worldly troubles.She originally came to discuss the case with Duan Sinan, but at this moment, Shen Qian, Xue Ningbi, Tang Ruoying, and all kinds of people left her.She only felt that she was in a warm place, breathing deeply, and fell into a deep sleep.

Duan Sinan heard the people around him gradually lose their movement, poured another glass of wine, and drank it slowly.I don't know who planted this sweet-scented osmanthus wine under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the official house, and how many years it has been planted. It is fragrant and sweet at first drink, but afterward it feels a little drunk.Tonight, he thought that he could only drink by himself and enjoy the autumn flowers and moonlit night alone, but he didn't expect that someone could share this beautiful scenery with him.

Although Yayoi was drunk, she still lived up to this good time!
He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and the red clothes surrounded the sky full of stars.In the dark night, the man was magnificent and unparalleled, he murmured: "Mother, are you satisfied?"

Mother, there is a woman, which moved me.

Are you satisfied?

**
Yayoi woke up with a hangover headache.

When he opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed, but when his thoughts returned to his nest, he suddenly remembered that she was drinking with Duan Sinan last night, who knew that he seemed to have fallen asleep unknowingly, so he quickly stood up and looked around.

She breathed a sigh of relief.It's my own room.

She only felt a sharp pain in her head, and called Aqi's name softly a few times.The latter pushed the door open and entered, seeing that she was suffering badly, he quickly picked up the steaming hot tea and handed it to her to drink.

Yayoi took it and drank a couple of sips to calm himself down.The sweet-scented osmanthus brewed last night was too strong, I only drank a small cup, and I became drunk like this.Ever since she was a child, she has never been so indulgent.

"Miss..." Seeing that she was not feeling well, Ah Qi hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Yayoi could tell at a glance that she was hesitating and hiding something in her heart. She was afraid that she was worried about her health, so she explained, "I'm actually fine, but I just woke up a little earlier, so I feel a little dizzy. What's the matter, Let's talk."

Ah Qi is very innocent, Yayoi believes everything she says, so she nodded and replied: "The hunter from Fuliang Mountain ahead came to report that he found a dead wolf in a trap on the mountain this morning."

"What? Did you catch that wolf?!" Yayoi's eyes lit up.

"Yes..." Ah Qi hesitated again, "It's just that the hunter said that the wolf probably fell into the trap a few days ago."

These words exploded flat in the room like a thunderbolt.

——This is simply a turn of events!
If the wolf on Fuliang Mountain died a few days ago, where did the beast that killed Tang Ruoying yesterday come from? !
Yayoi felt startled and broke out in a cold sweat.Sure enough—sure enough!
There must be a conspiracy in Tang Ruoying's death!
Her sluggish spirit suddenly revived, and her headache disappeared.He only lifted the quilt and stepped off the bed, saying: "Ah Qi, let's go out and handle the case!"
