Pregnant concubine divorces her husband: Concubine Ai withdraws the divorce letter

Chapter 5

As she was walking, a group of people approached her. She hurriedly hid behind a tree, but unexpectedly stepped on a wild cat's tail, and let out a scream, causing the group of people to come this way.

Chu Li rolled on the ground and hid behind a clump of flowers. The wild cat rushed out, and the group of people breathed a sigh of relief, cursed a few words and went forward.

Chu Li wiped the sweat from his brow, this mansion is more dangerous than the mansion.

Finally, he came to the porch of the house in hiding, pushed the window lightly, and closed it tightly.

At the door again, there was a brass lock outside.

It turned out that this house was not inhabited.

Chuli thought this would be better, so she pulled out the hairpin on her head, straightened it with her hands, then poked it into the keyhole, listened carefully, flicked it twice, and with a click, the lock opened in response, and Chuli picked it up. He raised his eyebrows, it seemed that his craftsmanship hadn't improved at all, and it was still easy to use with a different body.

With a light push, the door creaked, and a smell of dust mixed with Buddhist incense and sandalwood came in the air. She sniffed, why is this smell so familiar?

There is a sandalwood screen at the entrance, no wonder it smells of sandalwood.

She went around the screen and walked inside, and by the moonlight, she saw a row of long desks in front of her, increasing in height one by one, and the last one was next to the wall, with a row of memorial tablets placed on the tall desks!

I can't read any words.

Chu Li obediently bowed to the memorial tablet twice: "All ancestors, rest, the younger generation will not bother you."

She doesn't care whose ancestor this is, it's always right to apologize, let alone her body is their descendant.

Chu Li sighed and went out of the house to lock the door. She blamed herself for not seeing clearly during the day. There should be a plaque in this house. She looked up, and there was indeed a plaque on the high lintel with two traditional characters on it: ancestral hall.

It seems that I have made no mistakes in my career of tomb robbery.

I have a predestined relationship with the dead, and I can still touch this place on the ground.I really admire myself.

she thought mockingly to herself.

However, since he is a prince, isn't there a Taimiao?

But the sacrifices in the Taimiao are all dead emperors, so the offshoots who have not become emperors have to find their own places, right?

She couldn't figure it out.

Chu Li gave up these two rooms. This palace should have a treasure house, right?

But where is the treasure house?

It should be the place with the strictest guards.

Chu Li analyzed, it was the first time she was interested in things above the ground, and she was a little flustered for a while.After all, no one disturbed my work than in the tomb, and the living were much more noisy than the dead.

Her little heart was beating wildly because of excitement, and she could not walk more than a hundred meters. When she walked in front of the house, she heard a movement. , came out from inside two servants dressed as if they got up to change shifts, rubbing their eyes while wearing their belts, yawning, and complaining about something in their mouths, followed by another one, who unbuttoned his belt while walking, and went to Chu The raccoon came in this direction.

Seeing that his action was too obvious, it was obviously 'letting water', Chu Li moved to the side, but tripped over something, fell on his face to the sky, and made a loud noise.

Get up, hands sticky, lower your head to look carefully, there is a person lying on the ground with blood pooled at the corner of his mouth, Chu Li let out a cry of surprise, pushed, but there was no response.

She pressed the man's carotid artery with her fingertips, but there was no life.

She has seen countless corpses, but there are too few fresh ones, and her heart is also fuzzy.

"Come on! You're killing someone." Suddenly, several shouts exploded behind her.

It turned out that her voice alarmed those three people just now. What they saw was her touching the man's neck with her hands. All they saw was the back and the blood at the corner of the man's mouth. people, even those who are on the earth are not dead, but also dead.

She was so frightened that she ran and shouted, her voice was out of shape.

Chuli cried inwardly that something was wrong, forgetting about them.

I was also flustered in my heart, and I wanted to avoid it reflexively.

Within two steps, a large group of people were surrounded by lanterns and torches.

Chu Li was surrounded in the middle, and the group of people looked at her, and the guy in his hand gestured at her, with panic in their eyes.

At this time, someone stepped forward to look at the corpse, and turned around and said, "It's Lao Zhang, he's dead!"

"Wang... Princess, why did you kill Lao Zhang?" One of them said boldly.

Chu Li waved his hand: "I didn't kill it."

The hand was illuminated by the light, it was so red that it was black, and it was still dripping blood.

Everyone backed away with a bang, and the circle of encirclement became much larger.

Chu Li was afraid that they would attack them in groups, so he didn't do it himself, and he didn't do it if he didn't.

"We... saw it with our own eyes." One of the servants pointed at her and looked at the two people around him.

"Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes," echoed another.

"What did you see? Did you really see me killing him?" Chu Li asked.

These three people were really frightened and talked nonsense.

"Well... you two, are you saying that she is pinching Lao Zhang's neck with her hands?"

"I saw the princess put her hand on Lao Zhang... Lao Zhang's neck. However, I didn't see clearly whether I pinched it or not."

"Then why is the princess here in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be that the princess is possessed by a ghost?" A voice came from behind the crowd, and it was unknown who was speaking.

With this sound, the people around her backed up again. Seeing that she had not changed much, they dutifully surrounded her and did not disperse.

Someone in the crowd ordered to invite the prince.

Chu Li sighed, and refused to argue with these servants, letting them chatter tremblingly.

Because of this commotion, the lights in every room in the palace were turned on.

The people in the servant's room also gathered around.

Chu Li sat on a stone bench next to the pillar.

Finally, the crowd moved aside.

King Jing walked in.

In the middle of the night, he was dressed neatly, or hadn't fallen asleep yet?
Seeing him coming, Chu Li also stood up.

Apparently people on the road had told him the situation.

So he said immediately, "I want to hear from you. Why are you here late at night?"

Chu Li opened his mouth, why are you here, what should I say?He couldn't help but giggled, and said a little shamelessly, "The mansion is beautiful at night, and I'm taking a walk."

"Another excuse." King Jing's voice was gloomy.

"The moon is so big tonight, I'm going out to admire the moon."

"..." King Jing's face darkened even more.

"Leave this alone, okay? Now that someone is dead here, at least you have to look at the corpse first, or report to the police or something, and then study my affairs." Chu Li under the moon was wearing a dark dress, standing Not far from the corpse, he was smiling sweetly, making it even more confusing.

A cold snort came out of King Jing's nostrils: "Princess, if you tell the truth now, this king can also consider accommodating with the government office, so that you will suffer less."

"My lord, do you really believe that I did it?" Chu Li took a step forward, looking at the tall man in front of him, he didn't look like an idiot.How can you act like this?
Finally he sighed: "Okay, someone, go and notify the government office to arrest people."

"Wait, wait, there is something to discuss." Chu Li decided that a good girl would not suffer in front of her, and she said with a smile: "Let me see how this old Zhang died first, maybe I can catch the real murderer. "

"You can?" A trace of suspicion flashed in King Jing's eyes: "Okay, look."

Chu Li rolled up his sleeves, squatted down in front of the corpse, and those who were bold enough raised the lantern closer.

King Jing stood behind her, watched her familiar take out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and held it in her hands, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"
