So … the bloody mark should be an embroidery pattern on the clothes, or a soft-forged object in the pouch. Coupled with the silver thread on the rockery, she suspected that it might really be a pattern embroidered on a brocade.
However, the blood-red print on the white handkerchief was not very clear. It would be difficult to restore it, but no matter what, she had to give it a try. As for what those black particles were? They could be food or medicinal herbs. If they were medicinal herbs … she needed to find someone to identify them. There was a doctor in the villa, so she could ask him to take a look.
What was it?
But right now, she had to draw out the blood-colored mark clearly and identify what it was.
She took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to draw the pattern on the paper one by one … Outside, the weather was great. The people from the Supreme Court had already begun to investigate the case again, starting from the witnesses. Many people were summoned for questioning, including Zhao Quanzhi, Jiang Bin, and the others who were related to Li Shiyan. Even Luo Yang was woken up the moment he closed his eyes on the bed. He was told that he had to go as well since the people from the Supreme Court wanted to question him. Hence, everyone in the villa began to be interrogated one by one. It was none other than whether they had seen any conflict between Wang Huai and Li Shiyan. Did they see Li Shiyan kill someone?
Killing people with bare hands … something like that.
While Lord Huang was interrogating them, he sent two groups of people. One group was to have the coroner continue to examine the corpse to see if there were any abnormalities. The other group was to have people search the rockery and other parts of the villa for any abnormalities.
The Supreme Court had given enough face to the Marquis, Lord Li, and Su Ziluo. Minister Wang lost his nephew and couldn't sleep for the entire night. His face was haggard and filled with anger. However, he had said that he would give them two days, so he just sat there and waited for two days to pass. If they didn't find any evidence that could clear Li Shiyan's name,
If they didn't find any evidence to exonerate Li Shiyan, he would personally go to the palace to see the emperor.
For a moment, the entire villa was bustling with noise and excitement.
Su Ziluo let Qi 'er push him to the Water Moon Pavilion.
The two elite soldiers at the door saw him and immediately saluted. "General Su."
He raised his hand and gestured for them to move aside.
"General Su, please don't make things difficult for us. Lord Huang has ordered that before the case is solved, no one is allowed to go in to see the Crown Prince. Not even the Marquis and Lord Li can go in."
"I'm just here to give him some food. I'll leave after saying a few words." As he said that, he pointed to a food box on his lap.
"This …" They were in a difficult position. Although they knew Su Ziluo's status in Yan Capital, the rules were the rules. They didn't dare to break the rules. If the higher-ups investigated, they would lose their lives. They couldn't relax. Su Ziluo didn't get angry. His expression was calm as he patted his crippled legs. "I'm just a person who can't walk. What can I do to make things difficult for you? If I really wanted to bring the heir away from here, I wouldn't have kissed him last night.
I'll bring him to Lord Huang. " Yesterday, if not for Su Ziluo, the Supreme Court's men would not have been able to find Li Shiyan even if they searched the entire Misty Peak. Since Su Ziluo brought him to Lord Huang, he naturally would not do something so absurd as to rescue him.
。
So, letting General Su go in … was also possible! Su Ziluo watched as the two of them looked at each other. He sighed and said, "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll have to trouble you to bring the refreshments I brought to the Heir Apparent. I'll have to ask Lord Huang for his permission.
I hope he will let me in to see the heir. "
'Ah!'
Su Ziluo picked up the food box on his lap and handed it to them.
The two soldiers hesitated because they heard that he would ask Lord Huang for permission. If Lord Huang agreed, they would offend General Su. It wasn't a worthwhile transaction.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the two elite soldiers pushed the food box back and said with a smile, "Since General Su has already said so, there's no need to ask for Lord Huang's permission. You can go in."
They stepped aside. The corners of Su Ziluo's lips curled up slightly as a trace of a smile crept onto his face. The early morning sun shone on his bright and clear face; it was so beautiful, like a willow catkin dangling in the water, rippling in circles as it slowly drifted away.
It warmed people's ice-cold hearts.
Qi 'er pushed Su Ziluo inside. One of the soldiers was about to open the door for him when the other pulled him back and whispered, "Are you sure it's alright? We can't bear the responsibility if something happens. I'm a little worried. "
"What are you afraid of? Didn't General Su say it? What can a cripple like him do? Moreover, it's broad daylight and the manor is filled with people from the Supreme Court. What could possibly happen? "
"I'm just afraid …"
"You're thinking too much. I'll go open the door."
The taller soldier shook off the shorter one and followed Su Ziluo inside. He unlocked the door to Li Shiyan's room.
"General Su, I'll let him see you, but you have to be quick."
"Don't worry. You can stand guard at the door. I'll go in and have a chat."
"Yes!"
Su Ziluo told Qi 'er to stay outside while he pushed his wheelchair inside. He saw Li Shiyan sleeping on the bed. Perhaps the sound of the door opening had woken him up. He turned over and stretched his body. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Who is it? What took you so long? " When he opened his eyes, he saw Su Ziluo sitting not far from him. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, so he rubbed his eyes and got out of bed. He quickly walked towards Su Ziluo and happily asked, "You!
Why are you here? Did you find evidence to prove my innocence? Did you come to release me? I know Shu … "
Before he could say the word 'er', he stopped himself in time.
He was startled.
Su Ziluo frowned. "What do you know?"
He rolled his eyes and quickly changed the topic, saying, "I knew you would find evidence to prove my innocence, so can I go out now?"
"You can't!" Su Ziluo did not doubt Li Shiyan's words. He took out a box of snacks and placed it on the table. "I haven't found any evidence yet. I'm just here to bring you your favorite snacks." He leisurely took out plates of pastries and placed them on the table. They were indeed his favorites, but he had no appetite at the moment. He thought Su Ziluo brought him good news, but it turned out that he was delivering food to him. Su Ziluo deflated like a balloon and sat down. He casually picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. "I thought he went out. It seems like he hasn't found any evidence yet. But that's right, it's only been a few hours. It's not easy to find evidence, and it's not like he can do it openly.
Moreover, it can't be done openly. "
That was how he comforted himself, but he did not realize how strange his words were. Su Ziluo's expression suddenly changed. He faintly sensed that something was amiss. He narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "I don't understand what you're muttering. What few hours? What can't be done openly?
What are you talking about? "
'Ugh!' Li Shiyan spat out the pastry that he had just stuffed into his mouth. His face was filled with panic. He swallowed his saliva and sat up straight. He tried to look calm in the face of danger and calmly shook his head. "I'm fine! I mean … since I was locked up last night, the Supreme Court didn't investigate.
When he was locked up, the people from the Supreme Court didn't check because it was difficult to check at night, so they couldn't do it openly. Yes, that's what I mean! "
'Do you really think everyone is as smart as you are?
Moreover, you're doing it in front of Su Ziluo. '
Su Ziluo sensed that Li Shiyan was acting strangely, but he did not expose him. He pretended to believe him and said, "Alright, eat something. Otherwise, no one will know how long you'll be locked up here. Don't starve to death."
Li Shiyan smiled. He casually grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
In order to avoid being exposed, he did not even dare to look at Su Ziluo.
