Master Qingxuan bowed and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
If Li Kui didn't understand who was standing outside the door at this time, he would be really stupid. He quickly raised his hands and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
This person is none other than the crown prince of the Ming Empire, Zhu Gaochi!
"Hey, okay, no need to be polite."
Zhu Gaochi smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a little naive, but very approachable. He picked up the lunch box in his hand and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Your mother personally made supplements for Shanxiang, and I sent them over."
"I would like to thank my mother for Shanxiang."
Zhu Zhanji said with a smile.
Perhaps it was due to his humble beginnings. Zhu Gaochi's family did not have too many red tapes, and their conversation was no different from that of ordinary families.
"You, you just came back from Liaodong and you are running here and there. Shanxiang is pregnant. You should be more concerned about her."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
"I understand, father."
Zhu Zhanji is good-natured, but there is a bit of casualness in his eyebrows.
Shanxiang, whom the two said was named Hu Shanxiang, was Zhu Zhanji's principal concubine, that is, the emperor's grandson. She was now pregnant and would give birth in a few months.
'I never thought that this boy Zhu Zhanji would become a father?!'
Li Kui glanced at Zhu Zhanji and suddenly remembered that this guy had more than one wife. The other one seemed to be his childhood sweetheart, whose surname was Sun. As for his name, he couldn't remember.
The ancient feudal society is really amazing...
"You guys keep talking."
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Li Kui, the smile on his lips deepened, and then he looked at the corpse on the table, frowning slightly, "If there is a corpse in the future, don't take it back to your bedroom. Be careful, it's so unlucky.
!”
Then he left straight away.
"However, this prince is indeed a bit overweight." Li Kui looked at the obese figure fading away, and thought to himself, "The breath is much heavier than ordinary people, and the obesity causes inconvenience to the legs and feet. No wonder Zhu Di, who has been a soldier all his life,
He doted on his second and third sons even more.'
At this time.
"Taoist Priest Qingxuan, please tell me about the mold." Zhu Zhanji said quickly.
"Deputy Li Qianhu, please take a look."
So, things were back on track.
Li Kui came to the table.
But I saw Master Qingxuan waving the dust in his hand.
Lin Dongdong's clothes were rolled up, revealing his pale belly. It seemed like an invisible force was slowly pulling open along the bright red knife mark, revealing the internal organs inside.
Although the scene looks horrifying, there is no foul smell.
“In just one day, mold has grown all over the inside of the body?!”
Li Kui raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
The black velvety substance that was originally invisible to the naked eye has invaded various organs, becoming extremely conspicuous and acting as a breeding ground for survival.
"It is different from voodoo. Gu insects are a kind of existence that is difficult to explain. They are alive and have a strong desire to survive."
Master Qingxuan frowned slightly and spoke in a complicated tone:
"But what's surprising is that it is actually harmless and quite beneficial in the body. It just has one side effect."
"What side effects?"
"It will excite the owner of the body."
"excited?"
Li Kui couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of excitement."
"Having hallucinations, being in a state of ecstasy, forgetting everything, and feeling like you are in a paradise." said Master Qingxuan.
"is that so."
Li Kui murmured to himself.
He looked at Lin Dongdong's pale face, still filled with peace and joy.
"This was a well-planned plot."
"Li Kui, do you think this was a deliberate arrangement by King Zhao?"
Sudden.
"Your Highness, there are still some important matters unresolved in the Taoist temple. I kindly ask Qingxuan to leave first."
Upon hearing that the topic between the two of them was beyond the scope of the topic, Master Qingxuan said goodbye decisively.
He can come to help, but he doesn't want to get involved in royal affairs, especially in such a huge whirlpool.
"Chen Hu, send me to Master Qingxuan."
Zhu Zhanji's heart was as clear as a mirror, so he asked Chen Hu to see off the guests on his behalf.
After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
"Hard to say."
Li Kui shook his head slightly and told Zhu Zhanji all the clues from yesterday's investigation.
Then, the room fell into silence.
Zhu Zhanji frowned a little.
Li Kui glanced at Zhu Zhanji, thought for a while, and decided to give him a shot first, "Your Highness, after Lin Dongdong's incident, the security in Peking as a whole has become several times tighter than before."
The implication is that if the plan is really aimed at Zhu Zhanji, then the mastermind behind the scenes will most likely not take action again. No matter how they try, it will be of no avail.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanji looked at Li Kui with a hint of amusement, his tense face relaxed, and he laughed.
"Actually, it would be a blessing for me if I really can't find the murderer."
"how do I say this?"
Li Kui said curiously.
"Let's move to another room."
Zhu Zhanji put his hands behind his back and walked out of the house leisurely, "Follow me."
Li Kui raised his eyebrows and followed closely.
Speaking of which, Zhu Zhanji's palace is really quite big. It has rockeries, flowing water, and a variety of vegetation.
The two of them were walking along a cobblestone path.
"Meow."
An orange cat jumped out of the grass, and soon after, another black cat chased out. It ran very fast and disappeared in an instant.
"Golden Silk Tiger, Dark Cloud Leopard, you two slow down!"
Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled tenderly.
"..."
Li Kui glanced at Zhu Zhanji strangely.
Immediately, the two came to the main room where they were resting, and there were two palace maids standing at the door.
"Get some food and go down."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanji gave instructions and led Li Kui inside.
"I didn't expect His Highness to be able to draw."
Li Kui looked around and saw that the walls were covered with paintings, all signed with Zhu Zhanji's seal. Among them, the majority were paintings of cats, which were vivid and lifelike, indicating a high level of accomplishment.
He couldn't help but add silently in his heart: "I didn't expect you to be a cat slave!"
Not only the paintings, but also several cats of different colors lying on the tables and beds, sleeping soundly.
"More than that, he is proficient in everything from piano, chess, and books."
Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows, feeling very proud.
Immediately afterwards, the two sat down and talked about business.
"The reason why I say it is a blessing is that I am too sharp now!"
Zhu Zhanji supported his chin on the back of his hand and leaned on the back cushion, looking a little lazy.
"As my father said, we solved a serious problem for His Majesty, avoided the second Northern Expedition, and saved the people and money. This contribution has great reputation. It is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing."
As he said that, he looked at Li Kui and said:
"The most important thing is that even if this case is messed up, it will only affect the emperor's grandson, not the prince."
"sharp."
Li Kui gave a thumbs up.
When it comes to political acumen, Zhu Zhanji really surpasses him by a lot.
"but."
Zhu Zhanji changed the topic and said with a smile: "I promised to make you famous all over the world. Now let's see if what I said is true."
Li Kui was stunned.
I didn't expect this guy to suddenly mention this matter.
"Your name, Li Kui, has reached the ears of the saint. None of the civil and military officials below know you. Although you are a small deputy Qianhu now, you will definitely become a famous general in the future!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were bright.
Seeing this, Li Kui didn't know how to reply, so he just took out the cigarette case out of nowhere.
