[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 45 The Ghost [English]

Su Moyi was shocked and hurriedly reached for her hand.

However, his hand suddenly became empty, and Lin Wanqing pulled away the moment he touched it.

Su Moyi was stunned.

“Are you okay?” he asked. The hand that was hanging in the air was a little embarrassed, but he didn’t take it back.

Lin Wanqing shook his head, avoiding He’s gaze, and leaned down to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground, when Yueniang and her maid entered the room at this time.

“I, I’m going to change some clothes…” Lin Wanqing muttered, almost running away.

The wardrobe is at the other end of the bedroom, separated from the bed and table by a huge brocade cloud-satin embroidered gold bird screen.

The soothing sandalwood is burning in the room, and the charm of last night has not dissipated.

It was a short journey, but Lin Wanqing felt as if he had walked for a long time.She finally managed to get around the screen and leaned sideways to hold on to the wardrobe.

Su Moyi’s mother-in-law is Princess Anyang.

It was Princess Anyang who was killed by her father.

Lin Wanqing then remembered the handwritten copy of “Nan Lv Shu Yi” that he found on his bookshelf a long time ago.It turns out that this is the reason why he decided to go to prison.

He was eight years old that year, and by calculation, it happened to be the thirty-seventh year of Tianqi.

My heart dropped suddenly, as if I missed a step when going down the stairs.This feeling of weightlessness made Lin Wanqing, who had always been calm in situations, feel a little confused for the first time.

She stood blankly behind the screen for a long time, until Su Moyi’s slightly confused voice came from behind.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, with an uncommon tenderness in his tone.

He came over, took her hand and looked at it, and finally looked at the wet patch on her skirt.

“Are you… feeling uncomfortable?” Su Moyi was a little nervous when she asked this question, and her voice was trembling.

He pretended to be calm, opened the closet, picked out a crimson skirt and handed it to Lin Wanqing: “Quickly change into it… Although it is midsummer now, it is always not good to wear wet clothes. Be careful of getting wet.”

Lin Wanqing responded and took the skirt.

“Well…if…if you feel uncomfortable there, I’ll ask Yueniang to send you some ointment later.”

Lin Wanqing didn’t respond, just turned her back to him and took off her outer clothes.

“I…will be gentle next time…”

“Sir,” a slightly cold voice came, and the woman in front of him did not look back.

She rubbed the scarlet skirt in her hand, and could vaguely see the two butterfly bones floating due to her breathing.

She paused and whispered: “Can you please help me find some…avoidant…”

“What?” Su Moyi’s heart sank, and then she suddenly realized: “Those who eat too much are harmful to your body, whether you have… um… I will be responsible for it.”

“Sir,” there was another sudden interruption. Lin Wanqing clenched the skirt in her hand and said in a voice that only the two of you could hear: “Last night… because of confusion, I was presumptuous. But now the family feud has not been avenged, and the evildoers have not been brought to justice. I… I don’t want to talk about these children’s personal affairs yet.”

The person behind him was silent for a moment, but she never looked back, and her knuckles holding on to the underskirt turned blue and white.

Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by a pair of warm palms, and Lin Wanqing was pulled around by him.

He goes a step further and imprisons her with his eyes and body.

“What do you mean?” Su Moyi asked, his eyes that had always been Gu Jing Wubo’s eyes filled with sternness.

“I…” Lin Wanqing was afraid of looking into He’s eyes. She wanted to turn her head and look away, but she felt her jaw tighten.

Su Moyi didn’t allow her to turn her head, and pushed the person back forcefully, with a tight gaze.

Lin Wanqing was shocked by the sudden rise in pressure.

When this man transformed into Mr. Su, he always had a biting chill, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

Therefore, Lin Wanqing, whose chin was still in the opponent’s hand, immediately fell behind in terms of momentum. He could only bite his lips and muttered: “The overall situation is the most important thing… Our matter, it is not urgent to take it slow.”

The man in front of him finally calmed down his anger, released her chin, his eyes softened and said: “Then you should have told me last night, and I won’t let you in in the future…”

After saying this, Mr. Su blushed uncomfortably.

Lin Wanqing was shocked by he’s seamless transformation from a puppy, to a hungry wolf, and then to a puppy, so he could only nod silently.

“I won’t get it in again.” It seems that Mr. Su is still thinking about the future…

Lin Wanqing lowered her eyes anxiously, and just as she was about to ask him out, Su Moyi took the undergarment in her hand.

“Put it on quickly.” Master Su ordered, reaching out to pull her skirt.

Lin Wanqing was really tortured by he last night, and she was stimulated again just now. Now she really has no strength to fight with him.

So she had to become a marionette, and Lord Su personally helped her change her clothes.

Fragments of sunlight streaming in outside the window reflected a pair of figures on the ground.

Lin Wanqing remembered that the last time someone put on a skirt for her was many years ago, when she was a four-year-old girl.

A familiar warmth filled her heart, and she thought that as long as her identity was not exposed, the truth would eventually be revealed one day when Song Zhengxing was brought to justice.

*
Daming Palace, Chang’an Palace.

In the afternoon, the scorching sun burned the bluestone outside Chang’an Hall, and the steam steamed, making the majestic hall misty.

The Queen Mother had just fallen asleep and was sitting on the couch drinking tea.

It was very hot in the room. There were four basins of ice placed around the couch, and the two maids were fanning one on the left and the other on the right.

However, the Queen Mother still frowned and complained about the hot weather with an unhappy look on her face.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, very fast. Someone stopped at the door and asked quietly, “Is the Queen Mother awake?”

The Queen Mother was excited, stretched her neck and looked out the door, and said: “Is it rich? Come in.”

She handed the tea cup in her hand to the palace maid beside her and straightened her demeanor a little.

At the big yellow gate next to the emperor, the wealthy father-in-law walked in.

The Queen Mother could see a layer of fine sweat on He’s forehead from a distance. She thought there was something urgent, otherwise she wouldn’t have come all the way in such a hot day.

He bowed to the Queen Mother, reached out and took out a secret report from his sleeve, and looked around nervously.

The Queen Mother immediately understood what was going on and immediately dismissed everyone in the room.

“Is this a secret report from Jing Che?” she asked, eagerly reaching out and asking Fugui to bring up what he was holding.

Fugui nodded and said, “The emperor asked his servant to give it to the Queen Mother.”

The Queen Mother took it and opened it without even waiting to see it. She subconsciously asked, “But what happened over there in Hongzhou?”

Fugui nodded, shook his head, and said: “Something almost happened…”

When the Queen Mother heard what he said, she was half frightened. She didn’t even have the heart to read it herself, so she quickly asked: “What’s going on?”

Fugui made a long story short, “Someone must have leaked the news. Hongzhou Sima suspected the prince’s identity and took the opportunity to test it out.”

“What?!” The Queen Mother was so surprised that she almost collapsed, but Fugui had quick eyesight and quick hands to support her.

I heard before that Su Moyi was going to Hongzhou for business. To be on the safe side, only she, the emperor and the wealthy people from the Dahuang Clan around the emperor knew about this matter.

Now that the news has somehow leaked out, it is really strange.

However, the Queen Mother didn’t care about being strange now. She quickly grabbed Fugui and asked worriedly, “Will Jingche be in danger?”

Fugui quickly comforted her, “That’s not the case. Fortunately, the prince is smart and saved Zhang Ren’s doubts.”

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and looked as if she was not angry at all. She gritted her teeth and said: “I have told him a long time ago not to do this. The Minister of Dali Temple, who is either catching criminals or doing fine work all day long, doesn’t care about him. But the Ai family is old and frightened all day long. You see, the Ai family has lost several pounds.”

“…” Fugui looked at the Queen Mother’s double chin due to anger and remained silent.

The Queen Mother complained spontaneously for a while, but did not forget to continue to inquire: “Did Jingche say that any news was leaked?”

Fugui thought for a while and whispered: “The prince said that Zhang Ren seemed to know that he had been injured some time ago.”

“This…” The Queen Mother couldn’t help but shudder when she heard this.

The emperor reluctantly told her that Su Moyi was injured, not to mention anyone else. Even she had to inquire about it many times, and the emperor reluctantly told her.

If you think about it carefully, apart from Ye Qing and Lin Wanqing, who were brought to Hongzhou by Doctor Bai and Su Moyi this time, she is the only one who knows about this.

As an imperial physician, Imperial Physician Bai always has a strict tone of voice.From the late emperor to the present, he has always been her most trusted imperial physician, so it is unlikely that there is a problem on his side.

In this case, how did Zhang Ren know…

Could it be that there were spies from Song Zhengxing’s party sneaking into her or the emperor’s side?

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more frightened she became, feeling a chill on her vest.

She shook Fugui’s hand and asked, “Are you sure no one else knows about Jingche’s injury?”

Fugui was startled by the question, and quickly knelt down and clarified: “This is something that the Queen Mother and the Emperor have ordered to keep secret. Even if I have a hundred courages, I don’t dare to say anything!”

“I didn’t tell you,” the Queen Mother picked up the person with one hand and said seriously: “Think about the Ai family, besides those people before, who else might know about this?”

Fugui wiped the fine sweat on his head with his sleeves, frowned and thought for a moment and said: “The Queen Mother, think about it, have you been in contact with anyone recently? It may be an unintentional mistake, and it is not necessarily a slip of the tongue to say this.”

The Queen Mother thought silently and nodded: “It’s been so hot these days. Except for the imperial concubine who comes to greet the Ai family every day, the Ai family has never left the house. If you keep your mouth closed at any time, it’s going to go bad. Who can I talk to?”

“Yes…” Fugui bent down and agreed, and said unintentionally: “Didn’t the Queen Mother go out for a walk?”

“Leave?” the Queen Mother asked, “Except for the fact that Shu’er came to see the Ai family a few days ago and accompanied the Ai family to relax in Taiye Pond…”

At this point, the Queen Mother’s words suddenly stopped.

She looked at Fugui blankly, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Fugui saw that she was suddenly silent and her face was frighteningly pale. He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down again, but the Queen Mother grabbed her by the collar and pulled her up.

“When was Jing Che tested by Zhang Ren?” she asked, her face solemn.

Fugui thought for a moment and said, “The letter said it was two days ago.”

Two days ago.

From Shengjing to Hongzhou, it would take at least two days to send a letter.

If Su Moyi sent a message back as soon as he suspected a mole, then the news must have spread from Shengjing four days ago.

Calculating the time, it was about five or six days before Wei Shu came to Chang’an Hall to pay her respects.

And during her walk in Taiye Pond, she also inquired about Su Moyi more than once.

At first she just thought it was Wei Shu who was concerned about his condition, but in order to cover up her trip to Hongzhou, she casually used the fact that he was injured while chasing a fugitive as an excuse.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt that her chest was blocked by something, and every breath she took was suffocating.

This thing is too abnormal.

After all, why did Wei Shu, a dignified princess, get so mad that she wanted to collude with Song Zhengxing of the previous dynasty?

Besides, doesn’t she just want to marry Jing Che?

Unless…

The Queen Mother was startled and frightened by her absurd thoughts.

But then she’s eyes darkened, and the hand that was still holding Fugui’s back suddenly tightened, and said:

“Accompany the Ai family to the Chenghuan Palace.”

Mr. Su: I will be gentler next time, and I won’t get it in again.

Qingqing: I only heard “next time” and “later”. Thank you…
