Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 655
Shen Cheng asked thoughtfully: "Did you find anything in the imperial dining room?"

"I picked this up under the apricot tree." Lu Ming took out a hosta.

Rong Jiu took it over and took a look. The jade hairpin was shiny and clean, carved with peach blossoms, and there was a poem engraved under the peach blossoms.

Xianyun plays tricks, and flying stars spread hatred.The silver man travels secretly, and when the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world.

Tenderness is like water, and good times are like dreams.Forbearance to return to the magpie bridge, if the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?
This is a love poem, and this jade hairpin is a token of love between men and women.

Rong Jiu looked at the jade hairpin in his hand, frowned in thought, and suddenly said: "This jade hairpin belongs to Concubine Xian."

Lu Ming was surprised: "How do you know?"

"This is a Tibetan poem." Rong Jiu copied the love poem on rice paper. He pointed to the characters "love" and "magpie" in the poem. The text itself has a word "Ruo", and the concubine Xian's boudoir name is Xiruo. Since this poem has her name, it must contain the name of her lover. As long as you solve the mystery of the love poem on the hairpin, you will know the relationship with Concubine Xian. Who is the adulterer?"

Lu Ming was so shocked that he suddenly raised his voice, and said in astonishment, "Fornication? Concubine Xian fornicating?"

Rong Jiu joked: "Brother-in-law, if you speak louder, everyone in Chang'an will know about it."

Lu Ming was a little embarrassed and said, "I just didn't expect someone to cuckold His Majesty."

The jade hairpin fell under the apricot tree outside the imperial dining room, and apricot flowers were found in Concubine Xian's shoes. Concubine Xian had just had an abortion and was weak. Why did she go to the imperial dining room?

Rong Jiu's mind was in a mess, and he simply gave up thinking about it: "Tomorrow I have to go to the palace to investigate the case, brother-in-law, go back and rest."

"Then I'll go back first. It's late at night, so you should go to bed early."

"Ah."

Rong Jiu yawned, and leaned softly in Shen Cheng's arms: "Thinking about it makes my head hurt."

"Then don't think about it."

Shen Cheng carried her to the bedroom, waited for her to fall asleep, sat behind the case to sort out the case, looked at the love poem on the rice paper, and wrote something with a pen.

In the twilight, Shen Cheng stayed up all night, rubbing his sore neck, got up and walked to the side of the couch, leaned over to plant a light kiss on her face, and left the bedroom softly.

After breakfast, Shen Cheng and Lu Ming went to the palace to investigate the case.

A few apricot trees were planted outside the imperial dining room. On the vigorous branches, there were clusters of flowers full of branches, pink and white, like clouds and mist, like haze, and the beauty and beauty took up the spring.

The bluestone path outside the imperial dining room is clean. Apart from apricot trees, there are also some flower bushes on both sides of the path. Beyond those flower bushes, a little further away is a view of a rockery lake.

Shen Cheng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes were unpredictable. He remembered the song of hiding the head, and lowered his eyes to look at Lu Ming: "Where did my brother-in-law pick up the jade hairpin?"

Lu Ming pointed to the flowers in front of him: "It should be there."

Rong Jiu once said that Concubine Xian was dragged along after her death, and because of the rain, she couldn't see where there were drag marks.

Standing in front of the bushes Lu Ming pointed to, Shen Cheng frowned and asked, "Aside from picking up the hosta, did brother-in-law find any other clues?"

Lu Ming looked at the flowers, and there was nothing else except the flowers scattered by the rain. He shook his head: "What did you find?"

Shen Cheng didn't answer and asked instead: "If brother-in-law is the murderer, where will brother-in-law hide him after the murder?"

"Throw it into the lake." Lu Ming looked at the lake next to the rockery, and continued, "Sinking the corpse at the bottom of the lake is much easier and easier than moving the corpse elsewhere, but why didn't the murderer do this?"

"He has."

Holding an umbrella, Shen Cheng stood in the misty rain and mist, and suddenly smiled, the ripples in his eyes were as cold as lake water in early spring.

The murderer was not a fool, so how could he not have thought of sinking the corpse at the bottom of the lake? However, an accident happened halfway, and finally Concubine Xian appeared in her own room.
