Chapter 21

Happiness is always approaching unconsciously, and time is always catalyzing the fermentation of emotions.

This year's winter seems to have come very early. Before winter comes, the withered and yellow leaves are thrown into the embrace of Mother Earth one after another with the cold wind.

Lin Ling really didn't like winter. She was afraid of the cold. In ancient times, apart from the stove, there were only quilts. There were stoves all around the house, but she still felt cold.So now she can only lie on the bed, wrap herself in the quilt, roll over and don't want to get up.

Qing Ning looked helpless: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up, isn't it time to go to the Imperial Study?"

Lin Ling nestled under the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm not going, I'm going to be lazy today"

"What? Are you sick?" A deep voice came, Jing Han pushed the door open, walked towards Lin Ling who was still nestled in the cup, got off the morning and didn't see her figure, and asked Xiao Chunzi to find out that she didn't come at all. I thought she was sick and rushed over.I was a little confused, but I was fine when I woke up in the morning.

Hearing his voice, Lin Ling poked her small head out of the quilt, looked at the bright yellow and slender figure beside the bed, her hair was disheveled, met his worried eyes, a little nervous, with a woman who pleases herself , will she look ugly now?

"No, it's too cold, I don't want to get up." Lin Ling told the truth, she didn't want to hide anything, this is her true self.

Jing Han laughed, brushed the hair blocking her eyes with her fingertips, and rubbed her drooping head "smoothly", enjoying the softness from her fingertips.

"I feel cold just after winter, what should I do in the future"

Lin Ling tilted her head to avoid his hand, avoiding the offensive of his hair being rubbed more and more messy.

"Cold salad..."

"Pfft—" Qing Ning laughed, the empress has always spoken surprisingly, I don't know where she learned it.

"Lime, you go out." Lin Ling's face turned hot

"Yes" Qing Ning backed out, not forgetting to close the door for them.

Jing Han took the time to look at her lower and lower head, and saw that she wanted to get back under the blanket again, so he directly lifted the blanket and threw it to a corner aside.

"Get up, I'll take you to a fun place." Before she could protest, she hugged her by the waist.

Lin Ling was startled by his sudden movement, and instinctively hugged Jing Han's neck tightly, pressing against his chest.

Jing Han seemed to be very satisfied with her subconscious movements, and the hand holding her tightened in his arms.

"I think the only interesting place is the scene of the crime." Lin Ling was too lazy to struggle, paused for a while, and said calmly.

Jing Han raised his eyebrows, he is really straightforward as a queen!
"Follow me"

"Your Majesty, do we want to go to a brothel?" Lin Ling looked at the "Xunhua Lou" on the plaque above her head, and said with some doubts, um, the name is really straightforward. I don't know if there is a brothel called "Qingliu Pavilion".

Jing Han knocked on her head with a folding fan,

"I need to go to a brothel?"

Lin Ling looked at Jing Han at this moment, took off her dragon robe and put on a clean and bright white brocade suit, her hair was crowned with fine flawless jade, her eyes were dark and deep like the sea at night, her facial features were handsome and clear, just looking at At one glance, she was almost lost again.

He made a fake cough, concealed his embarrassment, and nodded:
"Really don't need"

"The government handles the case, and idlers are not allowed to enter." An officer and soldier stopped Lin Ling who was about to go in, and shouted sharply.

Only then did Lin Ling realize that the Xunhualou had been protected by officers and soldiers, and the surroundings were so deserted that it didn't look like a flourishing brothel.She looked at Jing Han, feeling even more puzzled.

Jing Han was full of smiles, her subconscious reliance put him in a good mood, and he took out his waist badge and threw it directly to the officers and soldiers guarding him. When the officers and soldiers saw it, they wanted to kneel down instinctively, "Emperor—"

"Let's go." Jing Han grabbed Lin Ling's waist and walked in. The officers and soldiers at the side were a little surprised. The emperor held a man's waist. Although this man was fair and beautiful like a woman, but... the officers and soldiers did not dare to think , Shaking his head, he must have read it wrong.

The door opened with a sound of "Yeah," and a tragic scene appeared in front of the two of them.Except for a large pool of blood, there was no messy trace where the body was found.

"The deceased was the Huakui Luoxi of Xunhualou. Her body was found when the servants cleaned it in the morning. Her body was curled up like a baby with her heart ripped out. It was extremely cruel."

Jing Han opened his mouth with a solemn face, and the chill on his face became even worse at the end; "This is already the second case of the same kind. The method of crime and the identity of the victim are almost the same. The oiran Lige was in the Crimson Courtyard in the east of the city 10 days ago."

Lin Ling felt a little uneasy, is there a serial case?

"Why did your majesty bring me here today?" If it had been earlier, maybe we could have taken more precautions.

Jing Han said in a deep voice: "The big and small things that happen in Beijing are generally reported by Jing Zhaoyin. Criminal cases are handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for handling, and finally the results are submitted to the ruling. When the first case happened, the government thought it was wrong. Ordinary cases, knowing that a similar case happened today, there are different opinions among the people, and there are rumors of the horror of the "heart-drawing demon". Only then did Jing Zhaoyin feel that the matter is serious and report it to Ji Lang of the Criminal Ministry. I only learned about it today."

Lin Ling nodded. There was an ancient bureaucratic system in ancient times, and he was in a high position, so many news could not be known immediately.

"What's more, if there is a case, I will come to you and ask Jing Zhaoyin. What's the use of the criminal department?" Jing Han felt helpless.

Lin Ling couldn't deny it: "The emperor is worrying too much. My participation is only a personal interest. It is an assistance. I have a specialization in surgery. Naturally, the criminal department has its own uniqueness in handling cases."

Jing Han looked at her with a serious face, and laughed a little.

"If I blamed you for being nosy, I wouldn't have brought you here. It's just that letting you handle some things may not be justified."

Lin Ling shrugged her shoulders: "Then you can just rectify my name, Your Majesty, and you don't have to worry about others criticizing you if you encounter such things in the future."

"You think it's simple. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a female official to be in power, let alone you are a queen. If you can solve the case this time, it's not impossible." After finishing speaking, Jing Han took her hand and walked up to the attic beside her.

The warm breath coming from the palm made Lin Ling's heart beat a little faster, and he sighed softly, "Mmm—" and followed his footsteps.
