Chapter 691 Liu Wei Didn’t Expect that His Attainments Were Quite High.
Thinking of the three young masters bullying her, Da Niu felt a little aggrieved, but seeing how pitiful they were now, Da Niu felt a little sympathetic.
The little girl's mind is like this, simple, kind, and easily influenced.
Liu Wei did not express any opinion on this, and was sure that the three little bullies would not die soon. She also believed that her son had acted appropriately, so she stopped paying attention and continued reading.
Until the palace steward came up with something.
When the housekeeper came in, he passed by the yard and saw his three young masters, just like little slaves, waiting on the young foreign master who was made of pink and jade to swing on the swing. The housekeeper suppressed the surprise and shock in his heart, but he did not He didn't mind his own business, just lowered his head and walked toward the back room.
From the first day when the prince brought Mr. Liu and Young Master Liu back, the housekeeper was given instructions to try his best to satisfy them no matter what they wanted to do or what they wanted.
The housekeeper had been in charge of the palace for many years, and this was the first time he heard such an order from the prince. He was frightened for a moment, and later he did not dare to have any dissent. He never neglected the father and son.
But today, the housekeeper was really frightened. He just wanted to know how the prince would feel if he knew that his own flesh and blood had been bullied by Young Master Liu into this state.
With this thought in his mind, the housekeeper entered the back room. When he saw the handsome man leisurely sitting on the soft couch, he lowered his eyebrows and reported the order from the palace.
Hearing that Rong Su wanted to summon her to the palace, Liu Wei put down the miscellaneous books, his dark eyes flashed slightly, then he sat up and said in a cold voice: "Okay, since the prince has summoned her, Liu should go on his own."
When the housekeeper heard what this man said, he didn't think it was inappropriate, nor did he hear the cruelty in his words. He only completed his task and then retreated outside the room, waiting for Mr. Liu to change his clothes before sending Liu to him. The gentleman got on the carriage entering the palace.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Wei changed her clothes and came out.
Liu Xiaoli, who was in the yard, saw that her mother was about to go out, so she followed her reluctantly, dragging her mother's clothes and insisting on going with her.
Liu Wei's mind was still stuck on the fact that Rong Su had betrayed her, so she didn't pay much attention to her son. She waved him away and said casually: "You are not allowed to go. Stay well in the palace."
Xiao Li loves to play, and whenever she agrees, she will pounce on her mother in a sticky manner.
Liu Wei pushed his son away and said in a more serious tone: "Do you remember what your Uncle Rong said?"
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, wondering what her mother meant.
Liu Wei said: "Your uncle Rong said that at your age, children from ordinary families should go to school, but you are fooling around at home all the time. It is really unreasonable. Your uncle Rong mentioned to me yesterday that since you have returned to Beijing, I will simply send you to a private school. I was still hesitant at first, but now it seems..."
Almost immediately, Xiao Li took two steps back, raised his little hand, waved it, and said to his mother: "Dad, you go early and come back early. I'll wait for you to come back at home!"
The older girl and the younger girl burst into laughter.
Liu Wei also curled her lips, went over and knocked her son on the head, turned around and left with the housekeeper.
Xiao Li couldn't go out to play, so when her mother left, she showed a depressed expression.
The girl enthusiastically asked Young Master Xiao Li if he wanted to eat, but Xiao Li had no appetite. He waved his hand casually and rolled his eyes, just in time to see that the three younger brothers standing under the swing had disappeared at some point. He immediately raised his eyebrows. Eyebrows, shouted: "They actually ran away, I want to catch them back!"
The eldest girl wanted to call the young master, but the young master had already excitedly set up his Qinggong and flew away. The eldest girl’s calling hand was still in mid-air, and finally asked her sister: “Will the young master hit them again?”
The little girl was also worried: "I think so."
The two sisters fell into silence for a while, and the eldest girl sighed and said quietly: "I hope it won't be broken."
Yes, I broke it and it’s hard to explain to the Seventh Young Master.
…
The carriage entering the palace was a bit fast. It only took half an hour to get from the Seventh Prince's Mansion to the foot of the Imperial City.
There was already a young eunuch waiting at the city gate. After confirming Liu Wei's identity and looking at Liu Wei's official uniform, he invited the person in.
All the way from the entrance of the palace to Qianning Palace, we took countless detours and passed through countless long corridors, and finally arrived in front of the palace an hour later.
At this moment, Liu Wei only had one sentence in her mind - all the pastries I ate before going out were digested.
The little eunuch who led the way asked Liu Wei to wait outside while he went in to deliver the message. When he came out again, it was not the little eunuch who came out, but an acquaintance.
Liu Wei looked at the great eunuch Qi Fu coming down the stairs and nodded slightly as a greeting.
When the person approached, Qi Fu raised the dust in his hand and nodded, saying, "Master Liu, long time no see."
In fact, Liu Wei and Qi Fu only met a few times, and the most contact was in Jiangnan. At that time, Liu Wei was investigating a serial murder case that stretched across the entire Jiangnan area and connected several state capitals. Rong Leng and the eunuch Qi Fu met each other. After that, they were restrained by a sacred order and went to Beijing with Rong Leng to solve the case.
After entering Beijing, Liu Wei also met Qi Fu once.
When she was granted the title of Secretary of Gemen, one of the people who came to convey the order was Qi Fu. Qi Fu and she also exchanged pleasantries at that time, but they did not have a deep friendship with each other.
But now, Qi Fugui, the first person around Emperor Qian Ling, actually came out to pick up a low-level official like himself, which surprised Liu Wei.
"Long time no see, Eunuch Qi is looking more and more energetic."
Qi Fu smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Your Majesty has been waiting for Sir Liu for a long time. Sir, please come with me."
Liu Wei cupped her hands and said, "Eunuch please lead the way."
The two of them went up the steps one after another. Liu Wei lowered his head slightly and inadvertently glanced at Qi Fu's feet. Liu Wei was surprised when he saw Qi Fu's heels slightly tiptoeing.
This Qi Fu is a practitioner. Liu Wei discovered this very early, but Liu Wei did not expect that his attainments were not low. Looking at his walking posture, he was not inferior to himself in Qing Gong.
After all, the people around the Holy Master should not be underestimated.
They did not go to the front hall, but to the back hall.
At that time, lunch had been eaten. In the hall, Emperor Qianling was sitting at the top of the hall. Below him, on the left and right were the prince and the seven kings.
Liu Wei glanced at him, it was a plain glance, but when he saw the prince, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and his expression changed a little.
The prince also noticed Liu Wei's gaze. Their eyes met in the air for a moment, but Liu Wei deliberately avoided them.
The prince frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Liu Wei only bowed, bowed his head to the man in the high seat and said, "I have met the emperor."
Qi Fu saw that Mr. Liu was just bowing and not showing any courtesy, so he wanted to remind him, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "Get down."
Emperor Qianling ordered someone to give him a seat.
Liu Wei's face looked normal, but his eyes looked at Rong Su.
It seemed that Rong Su had not betrayed her. If he had called her to convict her, he would not have given her a seat. But if he had not come to question her, why did Emperor Qian Ling suddenly call him into the palace?
This doubt did not exist for a long time, and Rong Su quickly solved Liu Wei's doubts.
"So, my father summoned Master Liu to the palace in the hope that Master Liu could find out the murderer of Princess Qinyang as soon as possible."
After listening to this, Liu Wei stood up from his chair and nodded again to the man in the seat: "Wei Chen is a guilty person. In the case of Princess Yuping, his innocence has not been cleared. At this time, he will intervene in the case of Princess Qinyang." , I’m afraid it’s... inappropriate.”
Emperor Qian Ling did not speak, but kept his deep gaze locked on Liu Wei without moving away, as if he was judging something.
Liu Wei was neither humble nor arrogant, and kept the same posture, motionless.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze for an instant.
Rong Su frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but the prince said first: "What Mr. Liu said is not unreasonable. Father, the Yuping case has not yet been concluded. Come to think of it, Mr. Liu is indeed not solved yet." A suitable candidate for the Qinyang case."
Emperor Qian Ling glanced at the prince. There was no emotion on his face.
In fact, after Liu Wei came in, Emperor Qian Ling almost didn't speak. The few sporadic sentences he spoke were very concise.
Liu Wei couldn't hear Emperor Qian Ling's emotions, but he knew that someone who could sit in this seat and be stable for decades couldn't be that simple.
Liu Wei was a little nervous for a moment. She hated Emperor Qian Ling. Ever since she knew that Emperor Qian Ling was the culprit behind her father's death, mother's disappearance, and family ruin, the seeds of her revenge had always been hidden in her chest. But at the same time, she She also knows that a country cannot live without a king for a day. She cannot bury the rise and fall of a country for personal grudges. She cannot afford such a heavy crime.
But no matter how suppressed, no matter how hard she tried to restrain herself, comfort herself, and brainwash herself, she still had hatred. This hatred could not involve others, not Rong Leng, Rong Su, or even Rong Fei, but Qian Emperor Ling himself had already been marked with a red cross by her.
Emperor Qian Ling must die, it is only a matter of time.
Liu Wei's mind changed quickly, but her body posture remained motionless.
Liu Wei was not interested in who Princess Qinyang was or how she died, but if she could use Princess Qinyang's death to gain some benefits for herself, Liu Wei would not be polite.
In the air, silence was still flowing. Time passed bit by bit. The prince felt strange. His eyes looked at Liu Wei first, and then at his father on the high seat. He considered it for a moment, suddenly realized, and then pinched himself. fingertips.
He was careless. He only thought that a guilty person was not suitable to enter and leave the palace, but he forgot that this person was summoned to the palace by his father.
Emperor Father must have called this person here to let him take over the Qinyang case. Although I don't know why, since Emperor Father has already made a decision, his rebuttal seemed to be against Emperor Father.
The prince regretted it very much. He sighed to himself that he had been in a trance these days. Sure enough, a big mess had happened. He looked at Rong Su again and thought to himself. Rong Su is really sharp. He didn't say a word from beginning to end. It made people more and more disappointed the more they watched. Pleasant to the eyes.
Realizing that he had made a mistake, the prince immediately made up for it and spoke again: "But then again, if Master Liu can find out the cause of Qinyang's death, I think it will be an opportunity to make amends. Father, if not better, Please ask Mr. Liu to take a look at Qinyang’s body first and see what happened next, and we can make a conclusion later.”
These words seemed to speak to Emperor Qian Ling's thoughts.
Emperor Qian Ling's deep brows relaxed a little, and he was about to say something when he heard Liu Wei first say: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince. It's just that I have a sensitive status now. I should have been taken care of by the Seventh Prince. I don't need to be imprisoned in the dungeon. It is already a great kindness. But I don’t dare to taint any nobles in the harem before the suspicion is cleared, and I ask the emperor and the prince to warn me.”
The prince frowned, changed his sitting position, and said, "Master Liu, it is your honor to share the emperor's worries."
"Naturally, although I am a humble minister, my status is not white, but I am not qualified to share the emperor's worries. Furthermore, our Qingyun Dynasty is full of talents, and there are many capable people in the palace. Come to think of it, the petty tricks of a humble minister like this are not enough in front of capable people. It's just a matter of skill, Wei Chen believes that there are many people who can solve Princess Qinyang's case, but Wei Chen is not needed."
"Master Liu, have you thought clearly? The emperor has given you the princess's case because he thinks highly of you." The prince's tone was much more serious.
Liu Wei's face was still full of justice: "I owe you the emperor's wrong love, but I don't deserve it."
The prince was obviously sullen and wanted to say more, but Emperor Qian Ling stopped him with a soft voice: "That's enough."
The prince shut up.
Liu Wei also lowered his head again, not letting his expression be exposed in the eyes of the king of that country.
Emperor Qian Ling stared at Liu Wei with a stern face. If he didn't see the clue at this time, then his role as emperor would be in vain.
This person has resentment in his heart. At this moment, this person is losing his temper.
This is Emperor Qian Ling's opinion.
Emperor Qian Ling has always known that the world is huge, but there are few such capable people, and this Mr. Liu is considered a genius.
It can be seen from the case of the missing child in Kyoto that this person's talent, at least in Kyoto today, is unmatched.
Throughout the ages, being talented means being arrogant.
This person is no exception, and what do arrogant people care about most? It’s that toughness!
This man had been away from the capital for many months. When he returned to the capital, he was greeted by imprisonment. This was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for a capable person.
Emperor Qian Ling could also understand that Rong Su treated this person with courtesy. Rong Su must have wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to recruit this talent. Let’s not say whether this person is willing or not. Let’s just say that this person is stubborn now. .
This person is using rejection to express his dissatisfaction. This is a literati's way of expressing emotions. It is not as rude as a military commander, but it is also very subtle and smart.
In the end, Emperor Qian Ling didn't force it, he just said a few words and asked the three of them to leave.
After leaving the palace, Rong Ting glanced at Liu Wei and left without looking back.
Liu Wei stood on the same spot, standing side by side with Rong Su. Looking at the prince's back, Liu Wei sighed: "I didn't expect the prince to be so ill. I wanted to help him feel his pulse. He was walking so fast. Then... never mind."
Liu Wei muttered for a while, but felt a particularly hot sight next to her.
Liu Wei looked sideways and saw Rong Su's disapproving expression. He asked, "Why is that so?"
Liu Wei replied: "What?"
"Why refuse?"
Liu Wei said: "Because I am happy."
Rong Su frowned.
Liu Wei patted Rong Su on the shoulder and said, "I have my own ideas. Just watch. In three days, your father will have to summon me."
"Are you so sure?"
Liu Wei was determined: "If I guess correctly, the death of Princess Qinyang is closely related to the case of Princess Yuping. Believe me, we will have the answer soon."
