Chapter 699 Man in White

From an unknown little eunuch beside the concubine to one of the best in the harem now, he wanted to protect her and prevent her from forcing a smile on her face to please the so-called 95-year-old, and he did not need her to bear the pain of losing her love. His own flesh and blood, he wanted to support her and keep her away from these harem disputes and intrigues.

But what about her?

Why can't she wait?

Why didn't you even give him a little more time?

The familiar feeling of heartache paralyzed his heart. He knew that this night, he would be in the darkness and missing him, unable to sleep again.

Just like the days when that person had just died, although those days were many years ago, they were as clear as if they were right before our eyes.

"Kunkou." A knock on the door suddenly rang.

Xiang Yi opened his eyes, looked at the door keenly, and asked, "Who?"

No one answered the door, but the knock on the door sounded again: "Knock, knock."

Xiang Yi got out of bed, stepped on his shoes, and walked slowly to the door. The moment he opened the door, a strange force suddenly rushed in from outside.

Xiang Yi frowned, and almost reflexively jumped away from the door.

The door opened, and a fishy smell rushed in from outside. Then, a dark object was thrown into the room. In the pale moonlight, Xiang Yi could easily see clearly that it was a human head.

And the owner of the head is none other than the little eunuch who is keeping vigil tonight.

Xiang Yi took a breath, turned around quickly, picked up the long sword on the wall, and unsheathed the sword. His movements were neat and steady, and he was obviously a martial arts practitioner.

He held his sword across his chest defensively and looked warily in the direction of the door, but it was too dark outside and he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't dare to move forward rashly, so he had to call out tentatively: "Who is it! Come out! "

"What a great style." A clear male voice came from outside the door.

Then, a plain white figure walked in slowly.

The man entered the room, looked accurately at Xiang Yi next to him, looked at the sword in Xiang Yi's hand, snorted contemptuously, and said: "Why, I gave you a big gift, and you drew your sword at me. ?”

Xiang Yi narrowed his eyes: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"I'm here to give you a gift, I just told you." The man in white said casually, glanced at the head on the ground, and said: "Eunuch Xiang, whose hands and eyes are as bright as the sky, will not fail to notice that this little eunuch was sent to you by the emperor. Spy?"

Xiang Yi said nothing and pursed his lips. He was studying the opponent's strength, but no matter what, he could not see the opponent's background.

This discovery was terrifying, because it showed that he was by no means a match for the other party.

The man in white looked at Yi Buyu and smiled again: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

"Help me?" Xiang Yi said in a deep voice, "Help me in this way?"

"Is this a bad way?" The man in white had a casual attitude, and the corners of his mouth were always curved: "Did you know that you are about to be betrayed?"

Xiang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what you said."

"You know." The other party said with a firm tone: "You know very well that your situation is not good now, but I tell you, you are no match for him."

"Who are you!" Xiang Yi's palms were sweating, and the hand holding the sword hilt was slightly damp. He felt very nervous. Tonight, it became very weird. The dream just now seemed more like a reminder to him. After tonight, something will be different.

The man in white didn't answer, but he smiled again, more relaxed than before, but when the sound of laughter fell in Xiang Yi's ears, it sounded ferocious and twisted, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

When Rong Leng opened his eyes, he felt empty around him.

When he raised his head, he saw that on the round table in the room, Liu Wei was wearing a coat and burying his head, writing furiously there.

Rong Leng opened the quilt, sat up, put on his clothes, and walked towards Liu Wei.

When he stood still behind Liu Wei, he found that Liu Wei was not aware of it. He frowned and then went to look at what she was writing.

Most of the densely packed words were unfamiliar vocabulary, and the man couldn't understand it, so he said, "What are you doing?"

Liu Wei's body trembled, and the hand she was writing trembled. She accidentally made a black mark on the paper. She turned around and complained angrily: "You scared me, why don't you make any sound when you walk?" !”

Rong Leng: "..."

The man pulled out the chair next to her, sat next to her, looked at what she had written, and asked, "What is it?"

Liu Wei pushed the rice paper in front of him and said, "Speculations about the case."

Rong Leng remained silent.

Liu Wei knew that Rong Leng couldn't understand it, so he said: "It is a relationship chart. Now I have listed all the deceased people we know are related to the case. It just so happens that I still have some questions to ask you."

Rong Leng took the piece of paper and read it for a long time.

Sure enough, I saw that there were many names written on it. The largest one was Concubine Min, followed by Concubine Chang, Yuping, Qinyang, and even his name was included.

Liu Wei opened another piece of white paper, dipped his pen in ink, looked at Rong Leng and asked: "We all know that Concubine Min died about ten years ago. The cause of death was reported by the imperial doctor at the time, saying that she was seriously ill and could not be cured. Can you respond to this matter?" Are you impressed?"

Rong Leng thought for a while and said: "At that time, I was under great importance from my father. I mostly went out to do business and rarely entered the palace."

"So you didn't see Concubine Min actually bedridden?"

Rong Leng said: "Yeah."

Liu Wei recorded this and asked, "What about Xiang Yi? Do you have any impression of this person?"

Rong Leng hesitated for a moment and frowned, as if he thought of something.

Liu Wei said: "You came back too late last night, and I didn't have time to tell you that yesterday I investigated the case of Princess Qinyang and encountered some troubles in collecting evidence. The father-in-law Xiang who was in front of the concubine took one step ahead of me. Everything in Suixiang Palace was mixed up. I didn't insist on going in to check, because I knew that even if I went in, what I was looking for would definitely be gone. But I don't think Eunuch Xiang expected that he would be like this This deliberate move aroused my suspicion. Now in my opinion, the things in Princess Qinyang's house are secondary, but uncovering the details of this Eunuch Xiang is more important. Tell me quickly, do you remember this Eunuch Xiang? "

Rong Leng seemed to hesitate for a moment, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Eunuch Xiang, I was once in front of Concubine Min."

Liu Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately went to find the "Spring Appreciation Picture" that she had placed yesterday, spread it out, and pointed it to Rong Leng: "My guess is, what was the relationship between Eunuch Xiang and Concubine Min before? Is there a master or a servant?" A sign of too much harmony?”

Rong Leng looked at the clean and well-maintained scroll, stared at the quiet and pretty woman on it, and then looked at the smiling little eunuch behind the woman, and his eyes darkened.
