Su Zhen took out a piece of talisman paper from her sleeve, and when she threw it out, the talisman paper burst into flames. This scene was very familiar to Jin Lian and Yu Changqing. They had met Yu Ziye in the Siwei Mansion Office.
Did it.
After the flame flew to the porcelain, it blended directly into it and disappeared. The sludge on the surface fell off and the fragments automatically gathered together, quickly revealing its original appearance.
Just as Yue Luo said, it is a porcelain doll with dark red blood-like cracks all over its body. It is weird and terrifying, but it is not difficult to tell that its appearance is that of a woman.
Aunt Qing said, "Huh!" "Empress, do you think this porcelain doll looks like Li Jieyu?"
The queen looked carefully and nodded, "Yes, it is somewhat similar."
Su Zhen looked at Yu Changqing and asked. The latter shook his head. As a minister, how could he meet the concubines in the harem?
Princess Jingyao suddenly jumped in from outside the palace, and the mute slave followed her step by step.
"See Your Highness the Princess." Everyone bowed and bowed, then stood up on their own.
"My son has met his mother!"
When Princess Jingyao was saluting, she happened to see the porcelain doll on the ground. Seeing her squatting down to pick it up, Yu Changqing blurted out to stop her, "Princess! Don't touch it!"
But Jingyao was faster, with a sweet and honest smile on her face. She held the porcelain doll in her hands and looked at it carefully, "What is this? It looks so strange!"
Jin Lian's eyes widened in shock, "Princess, are you okay?"
"What can happen to my princess? Why are you all staring at me? Ah! Could it be my princess's makeup?" Princess Jingyao touched her cheek nervously.
Jin Lian did not dare to look directly at her, and lowered his head, "Princess, the porcelain doll in your hand is Li Jieyu's relic. Please return it to this subordinate."
"Relic? But this princess just heard from the palace people that Li Jieyu is not dead, but just missing."
The queen asked, "Jing'er, if you didn't stay at the palace banquet, why are you here?"
"My son heard that something happened to Li Jieyu and came here to check on her! She was obviously fine during the day, so why did something like this happen at night?"
Princess Jingyao squeezed the handkerchief tightly and looked at Su Zhen, "I just met you at the palace banquet. You are the good brother Ziye calls you."
"Su Zhen has met the princess." She cupped her hands and clasped her fists.
Princess Jingyao walked around her twice and said, "I heard that my father likes you very much because you are very strong-minded. Not only did you bring down Xu Jing, but you also captured the scheming judge with Bo Yixuan. But I, the princess, are worried about you.
With red lips and white teeth, he looks like a frail scholar, but he can actually catch monsters?"
Tsk! The emperor actually took a fancy to her unruly temperament! But I still don’t know what the emperor wants to use her for.
"Xiaguan has only practiced some Xuanhuang techniques, but the common people are exaggerating."
Princess Jingyao raised her eyebrows, approached Su Zhen and faced her face to face with a wicked smile, "Then you can show me these two tricks."
Su Zhen lowered her eyes and took a step back, "The night is getting darker, Master Yu and the lower officials are still looking for Li Jieyu. If the princess has nothing to do, she can find a folk circus troupe to perform in the palace."
The queen smiled fondly and said, "Okay, Jing'er, go back to Shao Hua Hall quickly and stop making noise."
"No! The queen mother and the son-in-law also want to find Jieyu with them!" Her cheeks were a little baby-fat, and her lips had deep dimples when she smiled, which was sweet and sweet.
She put the porcelain doll into the hands of the mute slave, held up the hem of her skirt and trotted to the queen. She put her hands on her forearms and gently swayed coquettishly, "Mother, are you okay?"
"You are a princess, and you have not yet made a betrothal contract. Master Yu and the others are all men. If word spreads, it will always have an impact on your reputation."
"It's okay! Who dares to gossip in the palace?"
"Okay, dumb slave, take the princess back quickly."
The mute slave knelt down and stepped forward to tug Princess Jingyao's sleeves. To the surprise of Su Zhen and Yu Changqing, the charming and charming princess pouted her lips unwillingly, knelt down and saluted, and walked quickly
Left Qiling Hall.
The mute slave handed the porcelain doll to Su Zhen and quickly followed it out.
"Jing'er doesn't like the palace. She often sneaks out of the palace. Her temper is a bit informal. Don't mind it, you two."
Yu Changqing and the others said in unison, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
As Su Zhen stroked the porcelain doll in her hand, the Yin Qi on it had completely disappeared.
Who could have tampered with this? Princess Jingyao came and left in a hurry. Is there anything weird? That's not right. There shouldn't be any conflict between her and Li Jieyu.
"You Ning? You Ning?!"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Hearing Yu Changqing's call, Su Zhen came back to her senses and found that everyone was staring at her.
"The queen is asking you something."
"Oh, I'm sorry, what are your orders, Madam?"
"I am asking you, what did you do to that porcelain doll just now?"
"Back to the empress, the porcelain doll has a very strong yin energy, as if someone has cast a spell. The effect is not yet known and needs to be further investigated. However, Li Jieyu's disappearance should be closely related to it.
"
"Why are you so sure?"
"The official is just guessing."
Aunt Qing looked at the sky and said in the Queen's ear, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back."
"Well, now that we have the clues, Sir Yu, you can rest assured to investigate, and I will not hinder you. I heard that you are on good terms with the prince, and you can often go and walk around when you have nothing to do."
"Yes, empress!"
The queen stood up gracefully, and when she walked to Su Zhen, she glanced at her.
He knew how to control birds and beasts, knew the art of black and yellow, was able to kill monsters, and even found all the evidence of Xu Jing's crimes in less than a day and night. No wonder the emperor valued him so much. Even Chen'er was full of praise for this person.
.....
After the queen led the palace people to leave, the Qiling Palace was suddenly empty.
Jin Lian once again led people to search Qiling Palace and its surroundings, but still found nothing.
Until Chenshi, when the palace door was about to be locked, they still found no clues.
Since I couldn't stay in the palace for a long time, I had to leave the palace first and wait for the check tomorrow.
The three of them walked side by side along the path out of the palace. Su Zhen looked up at the sky and walked slowly, "Master Yu, you said the palace banquet should be over."
"We've already dispersed. It's just that you just came to the Duwei Mansion Office a few days ago, and you didn't expect that the first case you encountered would involve the imperial palace."
Su Zhen smiled nonchalantly, "That's better than having me memorize Luo Qi's regulations every day. To be honest, it's too boring. It's better to watch those old cases to get more excitement."
"It's for your own good to make you break the law. I heard before that you openly admitted to Xu Lin's murderer in the court of the Ministry of Justice."
Su Zhen shrugged and murmured in a low voice, "Actually, let's talk about the matter. No matter what the motives of Lexa and Killing Zun are, I think they are right. People like Xu Lin deserve to die, no matter who kills him, they are all doing it anyway.
Get rid of the harm to the people!”
"The world needs deceitful judgments...but the so-called deceitful judgments should not be like this. The people do not need judges beyond the court."
