Chapter 345 There is no way out
"Your Highness, everyone you want is here."
Li Xiangang and his entourage were discharged from the hospital. Cheng Denggao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurried to meet him and nodded and bowed to please him.
"Hmm." Li Xian ignored Cheng Denggao's flattery. He just nodded indifferently and said nothing. He looked around at the people gathered not far away, and asked indifferently, "Which one is Miss Cui Yuan? Please stand up. I have something to ask."
"Your Highness, the lowly maidservant knows that she is deeply guilty and has turned to it. If your Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the internal prison to check one or two."
As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, the dozens of maids and eunuchs gathered below were ** for a long time, but no one stood up to answer. Instead, Cheng Denggao, who stood next to Li Xian, accompanied him with a smiling face and said from the side.
Invest? Ha ha, it's the same. The thief's hands and feet are really smart! Li Xian had already expected such a result, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He sneered and curled his mouth and said, "Well, I'll check it later. Eunuch Cheng, send some people to watch this place. If anyone 'opted' again, everyone will be unforgiven!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, the old slave obeys."
Cheng Denggao was a clever man. As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he knew that Li Xian had guessed the truth. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but he didn't dare to answer. He could only answer repeatedly.
"Well, let's take Miss Liu Liu to the prayer hall with me."
Li Xian looked at Cheng Denggao quietly and ordered casually.
"No."
As the first servant, Cheng Denggao knew that the prayer hall was the residence of Li Xulun, the king of Yin, but he couldn't figure out that Li Xian did not go to see the bathhouse where the incident took place, but he wanted to run to the intention of the Shenzi prayer hall. He did not dare to ask more questions. He bowed his promise and waved his hand, and only two eunuchs who were waiting beside him rushed into the crowd. In the middle, a frightened little maid was set up and dragged her to Li Xian.
"Your Highness spare my life, Your Highness spare my life, my maidservant is wronged, my maidservant is wronged..."
Liu Liu is not very old. Generally speaking, she is just a fifteen- or six-year-old girl. She is not beautiful, but she is also beautiful. With a melon seed face, Xiao Yao's nose, and a pair of big smart eyes, she is also very patient. At this time, in panic, her little face is covered with sweat and tears, which makes people feel pity at first sight. .
"Gone go!" Li Xian frowned unhappily and snorted coldly. Seeing this, the two little eunuchs did not dare to neglect at all. They quickly let go of the hand that clamped Liu Liu and bowed back to the side.
"Don't panic, Miss Liu Liu. I'm just asking you to accompany me. It will be fine." Li Xian rarely goes in and out of Li Xulun's bedroom. Most of the people around him are not very familiar with him. Only because Liu Liu Liu has been with Li Xulun for a long time, Li Xian is a little impressed. Seeing that he is very nervous, he gently said.
"Ah, yes, the maidservant obeys, Your Highness, the maidservant is really wronged. Please make the decision for the maidservant. The maidservant has kowtowed to you, maidservant..."
Although Liu Liu is not very old, he has been in this dirty place for more than six years since he entered the palace at the age of ten. As soon as he knew this incident, the people involved in the case must have no way to live. At this time, when they saw Li Xian's gentleness and amiableness, he suddenly felt that he could catch the last trace. When he had a chance to live, he quickly asked for help. He knelt on his knees, but he kowtowed vigorously. In just a few times, he saw blood on his forehead.
Immortals fight, mortals always suffer. The world is like this, and it remains unchanged! Looking at Liu Liu's pitiful appearance, Li Xian also sighed in his heart and had the intention to save her. He bent down, reached out to help the little girl, and said gently, "Miss Liu Liu, don't do this. You can only tell the truth, and I will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, but if the maidservant knows it, I will not dare to hide it from you. I must have said it all. Your Highness, don't worry, I dare not lie to deceive you..." Hearing Li Xian's promise, Liu Liu Deng cried with joy and repeatedly incoherently.
"It's so good. Let's ask the girl to go with Gu and go together."
Li Xian smiled, let go of his hand supporting Liu Liu, waved his hand, and walked slowly to the Prayer Hall. Seeing this, Liu Liu did not dare to delay here. He hurriedly trot and followed Li Xian's side. His small body trembled against Li Xian's body, and he was nervous.
"Miss Liu Liu, let's talk about it and listen to it. How did today's thing come about?"
Li Xian did not rush to ask rhetorically, but walked silently. It was not until he saw that Liu Liu's breathing was gradually calm, that he asked with a smile.
"In his Highness's words, when the little master got up early this morning, he said that it was hot and he had to go to the bathroom and wash it again. I didn't care about it, so Sister Cui accompanied the little master. Later, Sister Cui turned back and said that the little master called me to wait and wait with him. The maidservants would not think too much, so they just When I went there, I just arrived at the bathhouse. I saw the little master tossing around in the bathtub. As soon as I came, I shouted that I wanted the maidservant to wash with me. I didn't know what to do, but Sister Cui and Sister Cui said that the little master's order must be obeyed. The maidservants thought that the little master was still young. I In the past, there was a lot of service to it, even if it was washed together, it would not be a big problem. This, ah, this is all in the water, and the back..."
At this hearing, Li Xian opened his mouth, and Liu Liu did not hide it. He talked about it, but when he talked about the sult things later, he blushed with shame and couldn't go on.
Sure enough, poor Xiaoba was drugged but didn't know it. It's really unlucky! As soon as Li Xian heard this, he understood that his previous guess must be true. He had some expectations for the half bowl of lotus seed soup in his heart. He couldn't help speeding up a little, and did not continue to ask about the following things. He just frowned slightly and silently thought about countermeasures.
The prayer hall is located on the east side of the imperial city. The scale is not too large, but it is very exquisite. The decoration is exquisite, and it is adjacent to the back garden. The scenery is quite good. Li Xulun can live here for a long time, which shows that the degree of favor is higher than that of many brothers. Li Xian has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. In the middle, Li Xian really sighed, but he didn't bring it to his face. He passed through the hall all the way and went straight into the bedroom of the apse. In his eyes, he saw the chaos in the empty bedroom. Even the screen at the door was pushed to the ground, and his heart couldn't help sink.
"Gun Gong Cheng, what's going on? Huh?"
Li Xian was not in a hurry to walk into the bedroom, but turned his head, stared at Cheng Denggao with a solemn face, and asked coldly.
"This..., hehe, to tell you the truth, Your Highness, the queen has an order. I pray that all kinds of people in the hall have bad behavior, are unreligent, and the crime is unforgivable. All of them should be taken down, and the old slave also acts according to the order. Please forgive me for this."
Cheng Denggao obviously had a plan for a long time. Hearing Li Xian's question, he smiled, replied calmly, and directly lifted the shield of Queen Wu.
"Humph!"
Although he was full of disdain for Queen Wu, Li Xian could not express his doubts and dissatisfaction with Queen Wu's will in public. He snorted coldly and did not pay much attention to Cheng Denggao. He led Liu into the messy room and looked around the bedroom, but did not find the bowl of lotus seeds. Where the soup was, my heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Miss Liu Liu, according to the eighth brother, she used half a bowl of lotus seed soup early in the morning, but this is this?"
Knowing that something had happened, Li Xian still had a trace of fluke, so he looked at the panicked Liu Liu and asked softly.
"Lotus seed soup? Ah, there is such a thing. As soon as the little master got up, he said he was thirsty. It was the lotus seed soup brought by Sister Cui. The little master only took a few sips. Could it be this lotus seed soup..." Liu Liu has been in the palace for a long time. As soon as he heard Li Xian ask about the lotus seed soup, he woke up and looked at Li Xian suspiciously and couldn't say any more.
"It's okay. I just asked casually. Well, Miss Liu Liu can recall that who cleaned up the bowl of lotus seed soup in the end?" Li Xian was quite appreciative of Liu Liu's alertness, but he did not say anything about it, but continued to ask casually.
"Clean up? I don't remember. At that time, the little master put down the bowl and pulled Sister Cui away. The bowl was put on several children, and the slaves and maidservants were called by Sister Cui again. No one should have cleaned it up.
Liu Liu frowned and thought about it carefully for a long time, and then replied uncertainly.
"Maybe Miss Liu Liu is sure?"
Li Xian nodded quietly and hurriedly asked.
"It should be like this. In the past, Cuihong was in charge of cleaning up the mess, but at that time, Cuihong also went to the bathhouse with the maidservants. The bowl should still be there!"
Hearing Li Xian repeatedly inquired about the lotus seed soup, Liu Liu had guessed that the bowl of lotus seed soup was the key to the problem. He did not dare to neglect it a little, bit his lips, and thought about it carefully for a moment, and then he answered incomparably.
Are you still there? In this mess on the ground, those children are still well placed on the edge of the couch, but except for some messy pieces of paper, there is no trace of lotus seed soup. Not to mention the soup, even the fragments of the bowl are not seen. There is no doubt that someone has destroyed the evidence first. Obviously, Li Xian wants to rely on this bowl of lotus of unknown origin. It is impossible for Zitang to reverse the case. At this point, the witness has been extinguished and the physical evidence has been destroyed. When the case is about to end, Li Xian's face is a little uncomfortable in an instant...
