"Princess?"

Seeing me in a daze, Song Langsheng shook my hand and said, "What are you thinking about?"

I looked at him as if I had just awakened from a dream, startled, and wanted to tell him that collecting honey does not seem to be the maid of the prince brother, but my maid. But then I thought about it, I have been inseparable from the prince brother since I was a child, and it is excusable for the husband to make a mistake. Talking too much is just to add to the sadness. I smiled and said: "Nothing, I'm thinking...I'm not Do you want to pretend to be the mastermind behind the scenes... That boat, yes, that boat has sunk, the assassin is dead, and Nie Ran survived, but there was still one person on board at the time, and everyone watched her get on the boat with their own eyes."

Song Langsheng took me to the alley leading to the back door of the mansion, and muttered: "What the princess meant is...Nie Ran, it can be said that he is good at water martial arts and strong, but if even Fang Yachen is saved, the princess will be with the ship. Shen He's illusion will also make life suspicious?"

I opened the side door casually, and sighed at him: "But she is taking care of her injuries in our house now..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw Song Langsheng frowning suddenly, and I followed his gaze, but I saw a person in the courtyard standing in front of the wind wearing a robe and head, but it wasn't Fang Yachen who was it?

But seeing her arms wrapped around the cloth strips oozing blood red, I coughed lightly, "Why don't you have a good rest in the middle of the night?"

Fang Yachen looked at us blankly and asked, "Where is Han Fei?"

I was taken aback, looked around no one, and said: "He is gone. Uh, he is fine, you don't have to worry."

I saw her staring intently and unresponsive, but her eyes were still staring at me. She secretly touched her elbow and motioned to him to say a word. Song Langsheng raised her eyebrows and looked at her and asked, "Fang Yachen, what are you doing? Become a woman?"

I:"……"

Fang Yachen: "..."

When I took Fang Yachen back to her room, and after carefully telling the story, she got up without saying a word and started to clean up her delicate things. I sighed, "You really want to find him? Unexpected..."

"No one can predict what will happen in the next moment." Fang Yachen looked at me and said, "Princess, what you said to me on the boat that day, do you remember?"

I nodded slightly.

Fang Yachen smiled indifferently, and bound his baggage: "Then why do you need to say more? Let everyone think that I was buried in a painting boat. From now on there is no Fang Yachen in Fang's family. It is not a relief for me."

She neatly changed into a men's suit, arched hands to Song Langsheng and I before leaving, and she was too lazy to spend her tongue, so as not to delay Han Fei who would not be able to catch up with her.

Song Langsheng has been standing quietly beside me.

I lowered my eyes and said, "I deliberately told her so much to induce her to find Han Fei. I have my own selfishness. If I only hope that they will get back together, I won’t let Han Fei take risks. They will pay. Can live peacefully to the end."

Song Langsheng gave a cry.

I said, "I made her put her hatred on the grounds of the righteousness of the family and the country, and let her live and die with Han Fei on the excuse of cherishing the people in front of her. That's all for heartbreaking."

Song Langsheng cried again.

I turned my head impatiently, "Can you not be so perfunctory when I feel sorry for myself and need comfort?"

Song Langsheng gave a hum and said, "These are not the princess's fault..."

I waited for him to continue.

"The princess is so instinctive, why bother to blame the heavens and the others?"

"..." Knowing that he couldn't utter any reasonable words.

Song Langsheng said leisurely: "Everything is difficult, the scale in the princess's heart has already been biased, how can it be shaken by personal emotions?"

I squinted, "Master Lu Ma really hit the nail on the head, thank you so much for knowing this princess's heart."

Song Langsheng stroked his chin, and said seriously: "In fact, I am more familiar with the princess than in my heart."

I was almost choked, and suddenly raised my head. Song Langsheng rubbed my hair with a smile, and turned away, regardless of how I yelled behind him, "What do you mean...I'm familiar with it... Hey, is this term a bit? Inappropriate? Familiar means that once you are familiar with things, you can do things very quickly...Wait, what do you mean? We used to...Song, are you listening to me!"

Within a day's effort, the fire incident in the water transport spread throughout the government and the opposition.

After the Cabinet Council, the Criminal Department was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, and the Inspectorate rectified. Of course, before the truth emerged, the prince was furious at the meeting. It was a vain guess, but the ones who really heard the wind were silent.

On the surface, since the prince proposed that Han Fei should be the supervisory agent, and the water transport was advocated by Han Fei, now something has happened, Han Dao burned charcoal, and the disaster relief food exploded to ashes. This matter should be bothered the most. It is naturally the prince who is worried.

After thinking about it, Han Fei must have known the prince in advance about the secret plan of the land. He was just pretending to be on the face, and naturally he had his own cares in secret.

I'm not sure if the prince brother knew about my assassination in Huafang. Strictly speaking, the more dangerous insider is Nie Ran. When the painting boat sinks, Wei Qingheng will ask Master Nie Ranxing about the crime, and then report the matter to the prince.

So I asked Ah You to give me a simple change and walked to Weifu in person.

When Wei Qingheng saw me, he expressed abnormal calmness, which shows that Nie Ran did inform him about my salvation. However, he first asked Fang Yachen about Nie Ran’s movements towards Han and Fang. Still not clear.

After hearing what I said, Wei Qingheng knocked on the table with his knuckles a little annoyingly, and said, "Nie Ran witnessed the whole process on the boat and knew the identity of the princess. There is no way to hide this. The Nie family is the head of the four major families and has close ties with the Korean and Chinese parties. If he leaks this news, wouldn't the princess's plan to cheat death and lure the murderer to appear in vain?"

I said: "I thought so too, but there is one thing. Nie Ran doesn't believe that I am a real princess, so I just treat me as a princess stand-in. You think, if he really has any plans, he can break my identity as a'fake princess'. , Or using this big fuss, would you send a killer to kill me? So the real murderer behind the scenes must not be Nie Party or their accomplices. The disputes between the parties between North Korea and China have always been different and inconsistent. If I were Nie Ran’s side, I knew Someone wants to assassinate the princess of the country of prison, and they must be silent, and let the princess prince deal with those people and watch the fire from the other side to reap the benefits of the fisherman. How can there be any wind?"

Wei Qingheng said in agreement, "The princess is reasonable."

I said, "So, as for Nie Ran, I don't think I need to worry."

"Don't worry?" Wei Qingheng raised his head and glanced at me, "I'm afraid the princess really said something. Nie Ran will definitely make a fuss if he believes that the princess is fake and doesn't reveal it."

There was a thud in my heart.

What Nie Ran said to me last night went around in my mind again: "In short, if you don't think your life is too long, you can't go back to be the princess's stand-in."

Yeah, why does he think that I am a princess's stand-in for life? Looking back now, that kind of determined tone doesn't seem to be worrying about my unknown future, it's more like... knowing something, that's why I was advised to leave Beijing several times to protect me.

Seeing me sinking into thought, Wei Qingheng comforted: "Now is not the time for them, the princess has to be mentally prepared. You are the real golden branch and jade leaf, this is enough to make all conspiracies be unsuccessful."

I reluctantly smiled and said, "How do you tell the prince about painting a boat?"

"Does the princess wish to hide your safety from the prince?"

"Ok."

"Then when I don’t know that the princess is pretending to be a student of the imperial son of the country and mixed in the boat, the rest will say straight. Nie Ran, I will tell him that this is what the princess meant. If the princess’s analysis is correct, he will not expose the truth. If he had his. Selfishness, just watch the changes."

I moved my gaze to Wei Qingheng, his eyes were quiet and serene, cough, it was An Ran, not at all like the kind of person who is in the storm of power, but this time he promised to cooperate with me, what was the result in his heart It should be clearer than anyone else.

Princess Jianguo and Doctor Guozijian died on the boat he proposed to cruise. How will he face the crown prince’s fury and the impeachment of hundreds of officials?

Before the truth comes out, let alone whether his official position as the Imperial Prisoner of Jiujiu can be kept, it would be a blessing if he could barely save his life.

Wei Qingheng seemed to understand the look in my eyes, and only smiled: "If this happens, I'm afraid the concubine will bear the blame."

I nodded. Isn't it? The princess's body was sinking to the bottom of the river, and he didn't see the princess when he returned home and didn't say a word. Isn't there a ghost in his heart or something? Are you an accomplice?

I said: "I have a tacit understanding with him in this regard, and there is no need to worry about him."

"Then why should the princess worry about me?" Wei Qingheng smiled, "Since it is a shortcut to find out the truth, it would be a shame not to try to walk."

I was relieved when I saw his attitude, and said, "Then I will make a payment to Master first, and I will apologize with wine in the future."

After coming out of Weifu, my whole panic was at ease, and after a short stroll in the market, I went back.

Of course, it was not the princess mansion that returned, but a small inn in the east of the city. Since you want to pretend to be dead, you can't always show up, and your actions won't be so obstructive. Anyway, Song Langsheng confessed that he was doing his own thing in the mansion.

As a matter of fact, there are basically very few people in the princess’s mansion who stay on their own feet. The spies sent by various forces account for at least half of them. The booklet Han Fei gave me is very clear. This is also inevitable. There will be people behind the scenes. Therefore, in conjunction with Song Langsheng, we deliberately let those haunted maids notice some clues. When those behind the scenes learn these clues, they will be more confident that the assassin we dispatched has succeeded.

After Wei Qingheng presented a memorandum to meet the prince, the cabinet and the Ministry of Justice also investigated the case of the shipwreck of the Guozijian. In addition to the body of the assassin who was posing as a boatman that day, a floating body of a woman posing as a student of the Guozijian was found.

This is naturally what Ming Jiansi prepared to pretend that I am a corpse. The corpse had been immersed in the water for two days, and it had long been unrecognizable. It could only be barely recognized as a female corpse. No one would be able to connect this corpse to this princess-except for the real murderer.

In short, just wait to see if there are any people jumping around at the meeting who are too dazzling so that ten of them can be included in the suspects.

It's a pity that things didn't go so smoothly.

When I was leaning against the inn’s room while drinking plum wine and biting the braised pork, Song Langsheng pushed in and took a sip of the wine glass in my hand, saying: "Someone has noticed something wrong. Up."

"who?"

"Yin Shenrong, the new office of the capital's Yamen."

I frowned slightly.

Isn’t the Jingshi Yamen the same Yamen I used to pretend to be when I first returned to the capital after losing my memory to rescue Uncle Baozi?

I asked: "Changed to the Xinfu Yin?" That's right, when it happened, it turned out that the lack of heart can't get along.

Song Langsheng said: "Xinfu Yin Shenrong's father was originally Shen Qingtian, who was famous in Jiangnan."

Shen Qingtian?

I have an impression of this name.

When I looked at the dossiers of the ministers in the DPRK earlier, when I first saw this name, the corners of my lips twitched.

Qingtian and Qingtian are all nicknames given to good officials by the common people, so, this servant is called this name directly. If you don't know, most of you will think that he is really a good official.

Although it looks like it's not far from ten.

It is probably because this name made everyone expect too much of him to rise to the sky, and it increased his pressure. Anyway, this Shen Qingtian meditated on the official seat and began to judge the case. Not only is the handling of new cases sharp and swift, but in his spare time, he also took out the old cases in the yamen and slowly studied them carefully, and the official title was gradually increased. What's more amazing is that he can investigate the old cases every time he takes up a new position. The negligence of his predecessor caused the former who was promoted to suffer in vain. In the end, Man Chao Wenwu saw him ten feet away from him. It was not until he returned home that there was a trace of peace in the **** officialdom.

It is true that how this servant returned home safely makes me puzzled.

I nodded slightly, "What kind of person is Shen Rong?"

Song Langsheng said: "Blue is better than blue because of blue."

I:"……"

At this time, this proverb is by no means a compliment.

Song Langsheng said: "As soon as he handled the case, he ordered people to retrieve the sunken painting boat, and found that the painting boat was maliciously damaged, and traces of fighting were found. After the autopsy performed by the boatmen, it was confirmed that all the boatmen had only their right-handed tiger mouths with cocoons. , It is clear that he was not a person who used oars for many years, so it was inferred that this was a deliberate assassination."

I lifted my chin, "Sure enough."

Song Langsheng also nodded, "He noticed a scar on the upper right wrist from that female corpse..." He glanced at me when he said that, I was stunned, and opened the sleeve of my right hand. There was also a scar. Scars, I am not surprised that Ming Jiansi really does everything without leakage. Since he is going to be fake, he must be ten images, and he must not be grasped by anyone.

Song Langsheng did not ask me where I found such a corpse that is so vivid and vivid with me, and continued: "The princess used to hunt with the saint when she was eight years old but was accidentally injured by a random arrow. This incident caused the saint's anger. , There are a lot of implications, and no one in the DPRK knows it."

I couldn't laugh or cry: "Should he judge that the dead person is me based on this?"

Song Langsheng shook his head and said, "Naturally not stop. Princess, have you left your jade card on the painting boat?"

I choked. It seems...it seems... indeed...yes.

Song Langsheng spread his hands toward me, "That's it. Now, this Shen Xiaoqingtian has already rushed up. Do you think His Royal Highness will react after hearing that the assassinated woman is you?"

Suddenly, I felt that my spine was beginning to stiffen, "If I still don’t show up now, things will be really troublesome. With such a mess, I can’t tell who is behind the scenes..."

Song Langsheng smiled nonchalantly, "That's not necessarily true."

I raised my eyelashes to look at him, "What do you think?"

Song Langsheng said: "This case was originally ordered by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to be charged. Later, due to the lack of manpower by Jiang Feng, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, to investigate the water transport bombing case, after the approval of the cabinet, the painting boat case was handed over to the Jingshi Yamen for processing."

I tried to guess what he meant, "So... you think this Jiang Feng deliberately entrusted this errand to Shen Rong, because he knows Shen Rong is an official who knows everything, and hopes that this person will let the Manchu civil and military know that, The princess was assassinated?"

Song Langsheng said: "If I were Jiang Feng, at this sensitive time, I would not deliberately hand over this seemingly ordinary shipwreck case to the capital office to deal with it, so as not to fall into the name of not being dedicated to political affairs."

I followed his train of thought for a while and asked, "Whose person is Jiang Feng? Zhao Shoufu? Or uncle?"

Song Langsheng said: "Jiang Feng is cautious. It seems that he does not participate in any political party, neither the Lingnan faction nor the Jianghuai faction. However, I checked his file today. He went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination for more than ten years. , Is the doorman in King Kang's Mansion."

"King Kang?"

That personality is a bit withdrawn, likes to recite poems and compose fuss, good at drawing fine rhythm, and the younger brother than Li Du's father and emperor?

I said: "On this basis, can't it be concluded that he is the master behind the scenes? Besides, what good is it for him to assassinate me? The prince who has no real power, can he usurp the throne and seek rebellion?"

"Although he has no real power, he has the most legitimate status besides the prince. People with real power can take advantage of him to act cheaply." Song Langsheng pondered, "Of course, these are just our guesses, and the truth cannot be made rashly."

I suddenly felt very discouraged. This matter was already complicated enough, but now I know that the more I know, the more messy the wind becomes. Is this strategy right or wrong? Just to find out the murderer who murdered me would inflict so many innocent people, then I and the murderer behind the scenes are also on the same level.

I pressed my chin against the desk and said, "Otherwise, forget it. Anyway, there are so many people who have died, so it's meaningless to find out."

Song Langsheng glanced at me and said nothing.

Seeing him look weird, I scorned, "I didn't say it was you... Why do you look at me like that..."

Song Langsheng didn't say anything else, but squeezed the flesh on my cheek: "It's a bit reluctant."

"What can't you bear?"

"Reluctant to let the princess be murdered."

I straightened up and slapped the table, "What does it mean to be a little bit reluctant to be murdered? Co-authoring means that I was expecting me to be murdered?"

Song Langsheng laughed, "Okay, that's...very reluctant."

I turned my head and said, "Huh, perfunctory."

Song Langsheng said: "Apart from me, I will not allow anyone to harm the princess."

Why does this sound so awkward? However, it is true that his record is indeed harmful to me, forgetting my soul, or something, although what I took is not the one he gave...

I thought I wouldn't sink my heart, but when I thought of this, my heart was still cushioned.

During these days, I’m busy and busy, I almost forget, the soullessness that I took is a deadly mortal poison, and my legs will be stared and white in five months. After that, I don’t want to enjoy the world. The food is full of wonders in the mountains and rivers, but you still have to rush for this mess, why bother?

Just to stabilize the situation for that **** prince’s brother, the point is that he is still the biggest suspect in poisoning me, I said, will this princess be a little too selfless and great to look so fake and virgin...

I tilted my head back and stared at Song Langsheng's face.

I returned to the West in five months. Will the owner of this face feel sad for me?

A word swallowed back from my throat, and sighed with excitement.

It should be...After all, there is still a tinge of love for a long time, right? It's not just because of guilt, is it? right.

Song Langsheng messed up my hair, "Isn't it just a squeeze of my face? How come the princess's expression is suddenly rich and colorful?"

I twitched the corners of my mouth: "It's just that the brain circuit is so unexpected and unreasonable."

Song Langsheng: "..."

Finally, he accompanied me for tea and plum wine for a while, adjusted his robe and said that he was going to do business. When I asked what was the business, Song Langsheng said, "The prince asked me to recognize the corpse."

Do you know if this corpse is the golden body of this princess?

"So you have to say yes or no?"

Song Langsheng said: "When you make a play, let's make a complete set."

"So you have to hold that decayed corpse and cry and say, "Princess, how can you leave me like this, why don't you wait for me, who is it, who killed you, I will definitely not bypass him" 'Really?"

"..."

"Does the tears come out? Do you want to prepare a chili pepper to sneak a bite?"

"..."

I saw that he had a tendency to grind his teeth and waved his hand hurriedly, "Okay, you can go, remember to brew feelings on the way..."

Halfway through the conversation, when he leaned in and was taken into his arms, Song Langsheng gave me a big hug and said lowly: "If I am a step late, the corpse may not be used as a fake, as long as I think about this, what kind of feelings? No need to brew."

My nose is sore.

Song Langsheng let go of me, smiled, and said no more, after setting the door for me, Shi Shiran left.

I touched the position of my heart, and felt a kind of unspeakable uncomfortable feeling, but the uncomfortable feeling didn't seem pure, it seemed a little bit more uncomfortable.

So is the mind twisted decisively?

I sat down and drank a drink for a while. Something drifted across my head. I yelled to a corner of the ceiling, "Ah right."

My female shadow guard jumped down, "What's the princess' order?"

"Just now... Have you heard what I said with the horse?"

"Ok."

"Have you seen us parting and hugging?"

"Ok."

"Can you please automatically choose to disappear in the house when I am alone with the horseman in the future?"

"To protect the safety of the princess, no."

"..."

"In the future, the subordinates will automatically ignore the situation, and the princess doesn't have to be shy."

"...So even when we hug, kiss, and are intimate, do you have to do your duty?"

"Subordinates have a mission to fulfill!"

"..."

I rubbed my eyebrows. It seemed that this question had to be guided step by step, "Where is Zuo, on the roof?"

Ah You said: "He has gone to the Imperial College."

Oh, yes, I ordered him to go to Guozi Supervision to check the movement.

Fang Yachen is missing, and I am also missing. No matter what, the Imperial College cannot be calm. According to what the assassin said on that day, the Imperial College had some spies who knew my identity and confided in the news. I don't know who this spy was? Will there be any action?

Also, Jun Lu Ling and the others are still looking for me. I really don't know what they should be like after they heard that the female corpse was recovered?

I touched the bridge of my nose guiltily. I really owe them a lot to these half-mates. After the incident, I will definitely ask them to eat and apologize.

Thinking of this, there were two clicks outside the window.

Ah Zuo said: "A Zuo is back."

I said: "Come in, there is no one inside."

A left crawled in through the window.

He rushed to me, stood straight, nodded and said: "Princess, there is an accident at the Imperial Supervisor."

I was surprised: "What happened?"

"There are prisoners who live and die in the dormitory."

I subconsciously react, kill people and kill them?

"Where is the supervisor?"

"Guangwen Pavilion."

I felt sad, and it really was the person next to me.

"What's his name?"

Ah Right didn't blink his eyes, and said coldly, "Mr Lu Ling."
