Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 346 Willow Dark Flower Bright Another Village

The trouble is serious. Although Li Xian doesn't want to admit defeat, the reality is undoubtedly cruel—yes, a reasonable inference is perfect and can be integrated back and forth. The problem is that there is no evidence in hand, and no matter how perfect the inference is, it is just an inference. It's impossible to count at all, let alone relying on such unsubstantiated inferences to deal with the scheming Empress Wu, and forcing herself to make trouble, the unlucky one can only be Li Xian himself. He was calm, but he couldn't help becoming a little impetuous, his face was dark and sullen, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"It's gone, it's really gone, Your Highness, it's gone, it was there before, why is it gone, this, this..."

Li Xian just stood silently, but Liu Liu didn't give up, ran to the messy room and looked around, after a long time, finally turned back to Li Xian's side in disappointment, with red eyes, muttering.

It's normal to be gone. As for a meticulous person like Empress Wu, how could he leave too obvious evidence if he wanted to harm others? It seems that if he wants to turn things around, he has to find another way. !After all, Li Xian is not an ordinary person, so he quickly let go of the disappointment in his heart, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Denggao, who was secretly laughing, and said coldly: " Eunuch Cheng, did you personally take care of this place?"

"Ah, yes, it is the old slave. Do you have any advice from His Highness?"

Seeing Li Xian standing aside in a daze, Cheng Denggao was so proud that he was as refreshed as drinking honey in the dog days, and he was very happy, when suddenly he was asked by Li Xian, he trembled involuntarily After a while, he hurriedly gathered his spirits, and answered cautiously.

"I asked you, have you ever seen a bowl of lotus seed soup?"

Li Xian asked calmly as if he had never seen Cheng Denggao's face change.

"If you go back to His Highness, the old slave really didn't pay attention, why don't the old slave check it out for you?"

What happened to that bowl of lotus seed soup? Cheng Denggao knew very well in his heart, but it was absolutely impossible to tell the truth to Li Xian, so he pretended to think for a moment before answering with a dry smile.

Check your mother's fart, this bastard is really cunning!Li Xian asked that he really wanted to get the truth out of Cheng Denggao's mouth, but just wanted to see if he could find some flaws in the old guy's answer. He evaded it completely, and he didn't bother to entangle this issue any more, so he pretended to be happy and nodded his head and said: "It's the best, then I will have Mr. Lao Cheng, and the matter is over, so I will accompany Gu to the inner court." It’s all right with the prison.”

"Inner court supervisor? Your Highness, this is..."

As soon as he heard that Li Xian was going to the Inner Court Supervisor, Cheng Denggao felt a "thud" in his heart, and a faint premonition surged up, but he didn't dare to say no, he could only ask half of it pretending to be confused talk.

"It's nothing, I just want to see that Cui Yuan is really dead."

Li Xian shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, and replied patiently.

"Ah, this...Your Highness, you don't know. Once this person dies, the filth will be great. You are the body of a thousand gold. If there is something good or bad, this old slave can't afford it. If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can let others see it. That's fine."

Li Xian spoke lightly, and his tone was very relaxed, but in Cheng Denggao's ears, the ominous premonition in his heart was a little stronger. After hesitating for a while, he suggested tactfully.

"It's a joke, I have fought bloody battles on the battlefield several times, and I have never seen such a dead person. Eunuch Cheng can just lead the way. If there is anything, I will just take care of it and lead the way!"

How could Li Xian be so easily fooled? Hearing Cheng Denggao put forward such a ridiculous reason, suspicion immediately arose, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he scolded him unceremoniously.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, the old slave obeys, the old slave obeys!"

Seeing that Li Xian was showing signs of losing his temper, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to push himself any further, he promised repeatedly, bowed to Li Xian with a bitter face, and some of them reluctantly took the lead. On the way, a group of several people rushed towards the inner court supervisor in such a hurry.

The Inner Court Prison is a cell dedicated to detaining eunuchs and court ladies who have committed crimes. It is located in the Yeting Palace on the west side of the imperial city. Coming here, even though Li Xian was mentally prepared, he was choked hard and his brows furrowed involuntarily, but he didn't stop on his feet, and he still walked in leisurely. He didn't care about Cheng Denggao running back and forth, but just walked in a leisurely manner, and within a few moments he had arrived at the morgue.

"Your Highness, the inside is messy, look..."

After getting outside the morgue, Cheng Denggao didn't rush to order his subordinates to open the door this time, but approached Li Xian with a smile on his face, and asked for instructions in a low voice, as if he was making a final effort to stop him.

"Open the door!"

Li Xian didn't even bother to explain, he just gave Cheng Denggao a cold look, and shouted in a cold voice.

"Yes, the old slave obeys, quickly, open the door!"

Seeing that there was no way to prevent Li Xian from entering the room for an autopsy, Cheng Denggao could only reluctantly agree, turned his head and shouted at the crowd standing blankly, and a little eunuch hurriedly took out the key , opened the brass lock on the door, stretched out his hand, and pushed the closed cell door open, revealing the dark and gloomy face inside.

"Palm the lamp!"

Li Xian was not in a hurry to enter the door, but frowned slightly, glanced at the dark prison, and ordered calmly.

"promise!"

As soon as Li Xian opened his mouth, the young eunuch who was quick to see the opportunity hurriedly ran to bring the lantern.

"Miss Liuliu, come with me, don't be afraid, everything will be fine if you are alone."

Li Xian lowered his head, looked at Liu Liu who was standing beside him with a worried face, and said a gentle word of comfort.

"Ah."

Liu Liu is just a young girl who has just grown up. Although she looks very slim, she is not very brave after all. Facing the gloomy morgue, how can she not be afraid, but Li Xian She had already opened her mouth, no matter how frightened she was, she did not dare to say that she was about to speak out, she could only respond obediently, clung to Li Xian's body nervously, walked timidly into the cell, and saw a A female corpse covered by a white cloth fainted on the spot. She stretched out her small hand and grabbed Li Xian's arm tightly, shaking like she was sifting chaff.

Li Xian didn't say anything to comfort the terrified Liu Liu, let her hang on his arm, walked to the side of the female corpse with a few strides, waved his hand, and ordered in a calm voice, "Open it!"

"promise!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, several young eunuchs who followed into the mortuary did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly obeyed the promise, and lifted off the white cloth covering the female body, revealing a A horrible corpse.

"what……"

Liu Liu was already terrified at first, but when she suddenly saw the long tongue sticking out from the crooked nose of the female corpse, she immediately screamed in fright, her eyes were closed tightly, she didn't dare to take another look, she just tried her best Drill into Li Xian's arms.

poor child!Li Xian obviously didn't expect that Liu Liu would be so afraid. This sudden warm fragrance filled his arms, and he was immediately embarrassed, but it was not easy to push Liu Liu away forcibly. He smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to pat On Liuliu's back, he said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here for everything, so let's take a closer look, is this dead girl Cui Yuan?"

"Well, Sister Yuan has a red mole on her chin, it should be her!"

Feeling Li Xian's strong heartbeat, and listening to Li Xian's gentle tone, Liu Liu gradually calmed down, timidly opened her tightly closed eyelids, glanced at the female corpse quickly, and immediately felt scared again. Closing his eyes tightly, he answered with a trembling voice.

Damn it, she was still silenced, damn it!Hearing Liuliu's confirmation, Li Xian's only fluke mentality was completely disillusioned, and the anger in his heart rose up, and he gave Cheng Denggao a gloomy look, his eyes full of It was the evil spirit that could not be concealed, and Cheng Denggao was so startled that he backed away in a panic, lowered his head, and did not dare to meet Li Xian's eyes.

"Miss Liuliu, this place is dirty, you go outside and wait for Gu, it's okay, Gu will definitely make decisions for you, don't be afraid, go."

Li Xian looked at Cheng Denggao coldly for a while, then looked away, patted Liu Liu who was still clinging to his arms, and said softly.

"No, don't, I will stay here with His Highness!"

As soon as Li Xian told her to go out, Liu Liu was frightened immediately, she refused to let go of Li Xian's arm, and begged tremblingly.

"Okay, then stand aside, I have something to do!"

Although Li Xian didn't want to be rough on a little girl, seeing that going on like this would not be a problem, he had no choice but to be ruthless. With a shake of his hand, he flicked Liu Liu's little hand away with a clever effort. With a light swipe, Liu Liu was already pushed aside, and then he didn't look at Liu Liu's frightened pale face, he strode up to the corpse, bent down, squatted down, and first looked at it carefully After looking at the female corpse, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, he stretched out his hand and pushed aside the collar of the corpse's neck. Immediately, he saw an obvious purple mark on the pale and thin neck. Suddenly, he had an idea. , but he didn't speak in a hurry, but raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a slight smile.

"Eunuch Cheng, I want to know who first discovered Cui Yuan's suicide, so I'll go and announce it."

Li Xian clapped his hands, looked at Cheng Denggao casually, and ordered lightly.

"Ah, yes, the old slave will do it now, and do it now."

Cheng Denggao was terrified by Li Xian's violent aura before, and now he lowered his head in a state of anxiety. He listened to Li Xian's orders without thinking carefully, and hurriedly answered and ran away in a hurry. After leaving the prison gate, the panic is no different from that of a stray dog.
