Conspiracy

Chapter 184 Jing Yao & Mute Slave

Su Zhen took out a piece of talisman paper from her cuff, and when she threw it out, the talisman paper burst into flames. This scene was very familiar to Jin Lian and Yu Changqing. They had seen Yu Ziye in Siwei's mansion did.

After the flame flew towards the porcelain, it directly merged into it and disappeared.The surface sludge fell off, and the debris gathered automatically, revealing its original appearance soon.

Just as Yueluo said, it was a porcelain doll with dark red blood-stained cracks all over its body. It was weird and terrifying, but it was not difficult to see that its appearance was a woman.

Sister Qing let out a 'huh', "Empress, do you think this porcelain doll looks like Li Jieyu?"

The queen took a closer look and nodded, "Well, it looks a bit like it."

Su Zhen looked at Yu Changqing and asked with his eyes, the latter shook his head, as a courtier, how could he meet the concubines in the harem.

Princess Jingyao came in from outside the hall suddenly, and the mute slave followed suit.

"See Her Majesty the Princess." Everyone bowed and stood up.

"My son has seen his mother!"

When Princess Jingyao was saluting, she happened to see the porcelain doll on the ground. Seeing her kneeling down to pick it up, Yu Changqing blurted out to stop her, "Princess! Don't touch it!"

But Jingyao was faster, with a simple and honest smile on her face, holding the porcelain doll in her hands and looking it over carefully, "What is this? It looks so strange!"

Jin Lian's eyes widened in shock, "Princess, are you alright?"

"What's the matter with this princess? Why are you all staring at me? Ah! Could it be the makeup of this princess?" Princess Jingyao nervously touched her cheek.

Jin Lian didn't dare to look directly at her, and lowered his head even lower, "Princess, the porcelain doll in your hand is a relic of Li Jieyu, please return it to your subordinates."

"A relic? But the princess just heard from the palace people that Li Jieyu is not dead, but just disappeared."

The queen asked, "Jing'er, why did you come here if you weren't staying at the palace banquet?"

"I heard that something happened to Li Jieyu, so I came here to see it! She is fine during the day, so why did something like this happen at night?"

Princess Jingyao squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and looked at Su Zhen, "I saw you at the palace banquet just now, and you are the good brother that brother Ziye said."

"Su Zhen has met the princess." She clasped her hands together.

Princess Jingyao walked around her twice, "I heard that my father likes you very much because you have a hard head. Not only did you bring down Xu Jing, but you were also caught with Bo Yixuan. But this princess sees you Red lips and white teeth, like a frail scholar, can actually catch a monster?"

Tsk!The emperor actually took a fancy to her rebellious temperament!It's just that he still doesn't know what the emperor wants to use her for.

"The lower officials have only practiced some mysterious and yellow techniques, but the common people are too exaggerated."

Princess Jingyao raised her brows, approached Su Zhen and said with a smirk, "Then you can show me two tricks."

Su Zhen lowered her eyes and took a step back, "The night is getting darker, Lord Yu and the officials are still looking for Li Jieyu. If the princess has nothing to do, you can find a folk juggling troupe to perform in the palace."

The queen gave a doting smile, "Okay, Jing'er, go back to Shaohua Hall quickly, and stop making noise."

"No! Queen Mother and Er Chen also want to join them in finding Jieyu!" Her cheeks were a little baby fat, and when she smiled, the dimples around her lips were deep, sweet and pleasant.

She stuffed the porcelain doll into the dumb slave's hand, and trotted to the empress with her skirt in hand, put her hands on her forearms and swayed coquettishly, "Mother, how are you?"

"You are a princess, and you haven't made a marriage contract yet. Your Excellency and the others are all men. If it spreads out, it will always have an impact on your reputation."

"It's okay! Who dares to gossip in the palace!"

"Okay, dumb slave, quickly take the princess back."

The mute slave bowed his knees, stepped forward and tugged at Princess Jingyao's sleeves. To the surprise of Su Zhen and Yu Changqing, this delicate and savage princess pursed her lips unwillingly, bowed her knees and saluted, and walked quickly Leaving Qiling Palace.

The dumb slave handed the porcelain doll to Su Zhen, and hurriedly followed her out.

"Jing'er doesn't like the imperial palace, she often sneaks out of the palace, she has a somewhat informal temper, don't mind the two of you."

Yu Changqing and the others said in unison, "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

While Su Zhen stroked the porcelain doll in her hand, the yin energy on it had completely disappeared.

Who could have moved?That Princess Jingyao came and went in a hurry, shouldn't there be something weird?That's not right, there shouldn't be any conflict between her and Li Jieyu.

"Youning? Youning?!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Hearing Yu Changqing's call, Su Zhen regained consciousness and found that everyone was staring at her.

"My lady is asking you something."

"Oh, I'm sorry, what's your order, ma'am?"

"I'm asking you, what did you do to that porcelain doll just now?"

"Ms. Hui, the porcelain doll has a very strong yin energy. It seems that someone has cast a spell on it. As for the effect, it is still unknown and needs to be investigated. However, Li Jieyu's disappearance should be closely related to it. "

"Why are you so sure?"

"The next official is just a guess."

Sister Qing looked at the sky, and whispered in the Queen's ear, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back."

"Well, since you have a clue, you can look it up at ease, Master Yu. I won't hinder you. I heard that you have a good relationship with the crown prince, so you can often walk around when you have nothing to do."

"Yes, madam!"

The queen got up gracefully, and when she walked to Su Zhen, she glanced at her.

Knowing how to control birds and beasts, knowing the art of Xuanhuang, being able to kill monsters, and even finding all the evidence of Xu Jing's crimes in less than a day and a night, no wonder the emperor valued it so much.Even Chen'er was full of praise for this man
After the Queen led the palace people away, the Qiling Hall was instantly empty.

Jin Lian led people to search the Qiling Palace and its vicinity again, but still found nothing.

At the hour of Chen, when the palace gate was about to be locked, they still hadn't found any clues.

Because I couldn't stay in the palace for a long time, I had to go out of the palace first and wait for the investigation tomorrow.

The three walked side by side along the path leading out of the palace, Su Zhen looked up at the sky, and walked slowly, "Master Yu, you said the palace banquet should be over, right?"

"It's been a long time since you left. It's just that you have only been here for a few days, and you didn't expect that the first case you encountered would involve the imperial palace."

Su Zhen smiled nonchalantly, "That's better than you letting me memorize Luo Qi's laws every day. To be honest, it's too boring. It's better to watch those old cases for fun."

"It's for your own good to ask you to recite the law. I heard that you confessed to the murderer of Xu Lin in the court of the Ministry of Punishment."

Su Zhen shrugged and muttered in a low voice, "Actually, let's talk about the matter, no matter what the motives of Lesha and Killer are, I think they are right. People like Xu Lin deserve to die. It doesn't matter who kills him. Eliminate harm from the people!"

"The world needs tricky judgments. It's just the so-called tricky judgments. It shouldn't be like this. The people don't need judges who are beyond the court."
