Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 345

"Your Highness, everyone you want is here."

As soon as Li Xiangang left the hospital, Cheng Denggao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed forward to meet him, nodding and bowing his head to please him.

"En." Li Xian ignored Cheng Denggao's flattery, just nodded indifferently, said noncommittally, looked around the crowd gathered not far away, and asked calmly: "Who is Cui?" Yuan girl, please stand up, I have something to ask."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, that lowly maidservant knows that she has committed a serious crime, and she has already given her money. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the Inner Court Prison to check for one or two."

As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, the dozen or so court ladies and eunuchs gathered below were in a commotion for a while, but no one stood up to answer, but Cheng Denggao, who was standing beside Li Xian, with a smiling face, stepped in from the side. said a word.

vote?Hehe, it's the same old routine again, the hands and feet of the thieves are really fast!Li Xian had already expected such a result, but he didn't take it too seriously. He sneered and said, "That's fine, I'll go check it out later, Eunuch Cheng, send some people to check this place. Watch it carefully, if someone else 'votes for the prize' again, everyone will be punished without pardon!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, the old slave complies."

Cheng Denggao is a clever man, and as soon as he heard Li Xian's tone, he knew that Li Xian had already guessed the truth, and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but he didn't dare not answer, he could only promise repeatedly .

"Alright then, let's take Miss Liuliu with me to the Hall of Prayer."

Li Xian glanced at Cheng Denggao calmly, and ordered casually.

"promise."

As the No.1 servant, Cheng Denggao knew that the Hall of Prayers was the residence of Yin Wang Li Xulun, but he couldn't understand why Li Xian didn't go to the bathhouse where the incident happened, but went to the Hall of Wishes Where is it, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he bowed his promise, and with a wave of his hand, only two young eunuchs who were waiting beside him rushed into the crowd, picked up a terrified little maid, and dragged him to Li Xian in front of.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, please forgive me, my servant is wronged, my servant is wronged..."

Liu Liu is not very old, she is just a girl of fifteen or six years old. She is not absolutely beautiful, but she is also considered beautiful. She has a melon-shaped face, a small nose, and a pair of big, lively eyes. Very much, under the panic at this time, the little face was covered with sweat and tears, which made people feel a little pity when they saw it.

"Let go!" Li Xian frowned displeasedly, and snorted coldly.Seeing this, the two young eunuchs didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, they hurriedly let go of Liu Liu's grip, and each bowed and retreated to the side.

"Miss Liu Liu, don't panic, Gu just asks you to accompany Gu on a journey, nothing will happen." Li Xian seldom goes out of Li Xulun's bedroom, and most of the people around him are not too familiar, only Liu Liuyin and After staying with Li Xulun for a long time, Li Xian only had some impressions. Seeing that he was extremely nervous, he gently explained.

"Ah, yes, the servant obeyed. Your Highness, the servant was really wronged. I beg you to be the master of the servant. The servant kowtowed to you, the servant..."

Although Liu Liu is not very old, she has been in this filthy place for more than six years since she entered the palace at the age of ten, so she knows that once this incident happens, there will be no trace of those involved in the case. Seeing Li Xian's gentleness and amiability at this time, he suddenly felt that he could seize the last chance of survival, so he hurriedly asked for help, and then fell to his knees on the ground, but kowtowed vigorously, only a few There was blood on his forehead.

When gods fight, mortals always suffer. The world is like this, and it has not changed since ancient times!Seeing Liu Liu's lovely and pitiful appearance, Li Xian felt quite emotional in his heart, and wanted to save her, so he bent down, stretched out his hand to help the little girl, and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Liu Liu, don't do this, as long as you If you can tell the truth, this king will definitely decide for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, but if the servants know, they will not dare to hide it. The servants must have said everything. Don't worry, Your Highness, the servants will not lie to you..." Upon hearing Li Xian's promise, Liu Liudeng burst into tears of joy , Repeatedly assured incoherently.

"That's very good, then let the girl go with Gu, let's talk together."

Li Xian smiled slightly, let go of the hand supporting Liu Liu, waved his hand, and then walked slowly towards the prayer hall. He trotted and followed Li Xian closely, his small body tremblingly leaning against Li Xian's body, with a panicked and tense appearance.

"Miss Liuliu, let's talk to Gu Gu, how did today's incident happen?"

Li Xian didn't rush to ask back, but walked silently, until he saw that Liu Liu's breathing had gradually stabilized, then he asked with a smile.

"Returning to Your Highness, when the young master woke up early this morning, he said that the weather was unbearably hot, and he wanted to go to the bathroom for a wash. The slaves and maids didn't care, so Sister Cui accompanied the young master. Turned back again, saying that the little master asked me to wait and wait, the servants would not think too much, and followed suit. Just now when I arrived at the bathhouse, I saw the little master tossing around in the bathing pool, As soon as I saw me coming, I yelled for my servants to wash with me. The servants didn't know what to do, but sister Cui and sister Cui said that the little master's order must be obeyed, and the servants thought about it. The little master is still young, and we have served him a lot in the past, even if we wash together, it won't be a big problem, then, ah, it's all in the water, and later..."

Hearing Li Xian opened his mouth, Liu Liu didn't hide anything, and babbled on, but when he talked about the messy things later, he blushed in shame and couldn't continue.

Sure enough, poor Xiao Ba, who was drugged but didn't know it, is really unlucky!As soon as Li Xian heard it, he understood that his previous guess must be true. He had some expectations for the half bowl of lotus seed soup in his heart. , just frowning slightly, silently thinking about countermeasures.

The Hall of Prayers is located on the east side of the imperial city. It is not too big, but it is very exquisite. The decorations are all exquisite, and it is adjacent to the back garden. The scenery is quite good. Li Xulun can live here for a long time. The level is far above that of many brothers. Li Xian has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. Walking in the palace now, Li Xian really felt quite emotional, but he didn't bring it to his face. He walked through it speechlessly. The main hall went straight into the bedroom in the apse, and when I saw the mess in the empty bedroom, even the screen at the door was pushed to the ground, my heart sank involuntarily.

"Eunuch Cheng, what's going on? Huh?"

Li Xian didn't rush into the bedroom, but turned his head, stared at Cheng Denggao solemnly, and asked incomparably coldly.

"This...hehe, to tell you the truth, Your Majesty, the Empress has a decree to pray that all the people in the hall who behaved misbehavior, uneducated, and unforgivably sinful, should be taken down. The old slave is also acting according to the decree. Please Your Highness, Haihan, please."

Cheng Denggao obviously had a plan in advance. Hearing Li Xian's question, he smiled sarcastically and replied unhurriedly, directly showing the shield of Empress Wu.

"Humph!"

Although he was full of disdain for Empress Wu, Li Xian couldn't publicly express his doubts and dissatisfaction with Empress Wu's will in public, so he snorted coldly, ignored Cheng Denggao, and led Liu Liu forward. After leaving the messy room, he looked around the bedroom, but he couldn't find the bowl of lotus seed soup, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Miss Liuliu, according to my eighth brother, she used half a bowl of lotus seed soup early in the morning, is there such a thing?"

Knowing that something might have happened by accident, Li Xian still had a little bit of luck, so he glanced at the panicked Liu Liu, and asked softly.

"Lotus seed soup? Ah, there is such a thing. The young master said he was thirsty when he woke up. It was the lotus seed soup brought by Sister Cui. The young master only drank a few sips. Could it be this lotus seed soup..." What is Liu Liu? After staying in the palace for a long time, when Li Xian asked about lotus seed soup, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Li Xian in surprise, and couldn't continue talking.

"It's okay, I just asked casually, um, miss Liu Liu, who took care of that bowl of lotus seed soup in the end?" Li Xian admired Liu Liu's vigilance, but he didn't say anything to point it out. This matter, but continued to ask casually.

"Clean up? The servants don't remember. At that time, the young master put down the bowl and took Sister Cui away. The bowl was placed on the table. Later, the servants were called by Sister Cui. No one should clean up." That's right."

Liu Liu frowned and thought about it for a long time before answering uncertainly.

"Miss Liuliu, is it possible for you to be sure?"

Li Xian nodded calmly, and hurriedly asked a question.

"It should be like this. In the past, Cuihong was in charge of cleaning up the leftovers, but at that time Cuihong also went to the bathhouse with the servants, the bowl should still be there!"

After hearing Li Xian's repeated inquiries about the lotus seed soup, Liu Liu already guessed that the bowl of lotus seed soup might be the key to the problem, so she dared not be negligent, bit her lip, and thought about it for a moment , and then he replied with certainty.

still there?In the mess all over the floor, those pots were still placed on the edge of the couch, but apart from some messy pieces of paper, there was no trace of lotus seed soup on it, not to mention soup, even a bowl No fragments were seen. There is no doubt that someone has destroyed the evidence first. Obviously, it is impossible for Li Xian to reverse the case with this bowl of lotus seed soup of unknown origin. Destroyed, the case was about to come to an end, Li Xian's face instantly turned a little ugly.
