Mother Xu, Lu Zhu and Qingluo laughed happily, but Zhao Ling was depressed. Now, probably the whole of the province knknowew that she and King Xuan went back to the mansion in a carriage, while she was sleeping soundly in the carriage.
She suddenly remembered that on the carriage just now, she had called him "a rogue", and anyone who heard it would understand that she was flirting. And it was so quiet at the time that everyone probably heard it.
She felt that she was really humiliated and lost face this time.
Seeing the little fox who jumped into her arms excitedly, she remembered that she forgot to ask Situ Gong about the antidote for the cold poison just now.
She didn't know when the antidote would be ready. She always felt that Meng Yuan's face seemed to be getting paler and paler these days, and there was almost no flesh on his cheeks, and she didn't know if he was eating on time.
Alas, she held her forehead and sighed, she might have been really tired these two days.
For the next few days, Zhao Ling had been resting in her courtyard named Fengheyuan, to make up for her lost sleep times and recuperate. During this time, she lived a relaxed and comfortable life.
Because of the shocking power of Meng Yuan bringing her back to the mansion in person last time, the entire palace was now respectful to her, as if she had been declared as the concubine Xuan. Last time at the gate of the Zhao's mansion, didn't Lord Xuan admit that the eldest young lady was the princess?
Zhao Ruo had been married off, Cui Shi couldn't slap her again, and she had no one to find fault with her anymore. So she naturally lived a comfortable life.
Now her only concern was finding out if the antidote for Meng Yuan's cold poison had been prepared.
It had been many days since returning from Suzhou, but Situ Gong had not moved at all, let alone her, even the little girl was a little impatient. When will he come to take the fox's blood, so that he could be mentally prepared.
Originally, she wanted to go to Xuanwang's mansion to ask, but after the last time Meng Yuan sent her back to the mansion, she was a little hesitant. After all, she and him have not yet married, and the last incident had made some people look at her in a different light. If she was to there again, she would really lose her reputation and face.
After all, this was in ancient times, and some things couldn't be measured by her former world's modern standards.
As for the case of the headless female corpse in the palace, that was something Lu Ziqing should be worried about.
But what Zhao Ling didn't expect was that a few days later, in the morning, Lu Ziqing would send someone to the Duke's Mansion to invite her.
The person who came to invite her was Zhan Zhao, the chief officer of the Criminal Department.
Every time Zhao Ling saw Zhan Zhao, she thought of the royal cat Zhanzhao in "Bao Qingtian", because the names and occupations of the two were so similar. The only difference was their looks.
She remembered that when she first heard his self-introduction, she was sitting in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice drinking tea, and when she heard the words, she almost spit out a sip of tea that she just drank.
This burly man with a black beard and a voice like a bell, how could there be a little bit of the appearance of the extraordinary royal cat Zhan zhao in "Bao Qingtian"!
Zhan Zhao saw Zhao Ling who nodded to him with a smile on her face, a slight blush appeared on his black face, but fortunately he was rough and thick, and others didn't see it.
He quickly lowered his head and said to Zhao Ling respectfully, "Zhan Zhao has seen Princess Xuan before. Princess Xuan, my lord has invited you."
No way, it was because Princess Xuan was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look directly at her.
Zhao Ling sighed helplessly. She hadn't entered the Xuanwang Mansion yet, why do these people always treated like princess of Xuanwang mansion?
But after being called too many times, she seemed to be a little used to listening to it, and had long stopped worrying about it. Why did Lu Ziqing just invite her to the Criminal Department? Want to do an autopsy for him again?
But after examining the body of the palace maid last time, Meng Yuan had clearly warned him that he should not disturb her easily.
She remember that after coming out of the morgue of the Justice Department, Meng Yuan said with a cold face and sarcasm: "Lord Lu, the dignified Justice Department can't even do a single job, is this still a good thing? According to this king, in the future, Lord Lu's position will be considered Even if you take the seat of the Minister of Justice, you won't be able to sit for long."
This fellow's tongue-in-cheek verbal assault was getting more and more powerful. Even she felt that these words were too much, not to mention Lu Ziqing, who had a high self-esteem, how ugly his face was at that time.
How come after these few days, he ignored Meng Yuan's warning and came to her.
"Zhan Zhao, can you tell me why your lord is looking for me?" Zhao Ling felt that it would be better to ask more clearly, so as not to go to the Justice department from time to time and make Meng Yuan displeased.
When did you actually care about his thoughts so much? Zhao Ling couldn't help but secretly asked herself.
Zhan Zhao still lowered his head and replied, "Another palace maid died in the palace, and the method of murder was exactly the same as last time. The murderer has been caught on the spot.. The adults think that it is necessary to ask Princess Xuan to come and take a look."
