"We've always been puzzled as to how Liu Laosan managed to set up the Imperial Tomb. Especially after the stone tablet appeared, His Majesty sent people to surround the Imperial Mausoleum. No matter how capable he was, there was no way he could get close enough to do anything. The only time he could sneak into the Imperial Mausoleum was when he delivered food in the evening. So, how did he do it in broad daylight in front of everyone? I finally figured it out now. In fact, he had already chosen the best helper, which was this clock tower! "
Because of her excitement, Ning Shu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The tiredness in her eyes was swept away and there was a dazzling light in her eyes. It was so bright that people couldn't look at her directly, but they couldn't help being attracted to her. There were more than a hundred steps in the clock tower and it was eight feet tall. Ning Shu held the corner of her clothes and spun around until she reached the highest point.
Following the thick and heavy bronze clock in front of her, Ning Shu looked up at the dome and found the mechanism. "It's really like this! It's that small crossbow! Do you see the iron wire tied to the top of the clock? The other end of the bell was fixed to the full string of the crossbow. Every time the bell was struck by someone, it would affect the iron wire. When the iron wire left its position, the object on the string would leave the string and fly towards the target that had been designed long ago.
The second finger was cut off in this way. As for the Blood Lotus Script, although it was only a piece of silk, it only needed to wrap a small stone in it. After it left the string, the small stone would fall first and the silk would be blown up by the wind and slowly float to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
What Liu Laosan had to do was to come here the night before each attack and quickly set up the mechanism. When the time came the next day, everything would be done naturally. Even the person in charge of ringing the clock wouldn't know that he had helped the murderer so much. "
Xiao Yunyi also felt that the clouds in front of him had dispersed. "I see. This Liu Laosan is really scheming. I'll report to Mother now and tell her about this big progress."
Ning Shu widened her eyes. "But those children haven't been found yet. Liu Laosan hasn't confessed and Teacher Yuan hasn't told him his motive from ten years ago. Shouldn't you be patient and wait for all the details to come to light before reporting to the Empress? "
Xiao Yunyi smiled faintly. "Of course we have to continue looking for them, but the case is definitely done by these two bastards."
He took a step forward and gently placed his large and rough palm on the back of her hand. He gazed at her gently. "Shu 'er, you've worked hard. I will definitely tell Imperial Mother about your hard work in solving this case. I will also do my best to beg Imperial Mother to release your mother from prison as soon as possible. With me around, don't worry. "
Ning Shu subconsciously pulled her hand back, but he held it so tightly that she couldn't move it at all. She looked up and met with Xiao Yunyi's dark and slightly red eyes.
Standing on this eighty feet tall bell tower, there were more than a hundred stairs that looked like a whirlpool of fate. He was like a red-eyed lion as he approached her step by step.
She reminded him in a low voice, "Your Highness, there's another important case!"
Xiao Yunyi ignored her and continued to approach her until her back hit the wooden pillar behind her. Ning Shu frowned. She couldn't get rid of his grip and couldn't avoid his hot breath that was approaching her inch by inch. "Your Highness, don't forget that your fiancée just met with misfortune a few days ago."
Xiao Yunyi lowered his head and smiled devilishly. He used his eyes to trace the shape of her lips carefully. "You said it yourself, she's just my fiancée and not a proper in-law. What do I have to worry about?"
Ning Shu was afraid of breaking the vases. Her hands trembled violently and she tried to turn her head away to avoid his poisonous lips. "Then you don't need to care about Great Elder Princess? Are you sure that you don't need her help anymore? "
Xiao Yunyi leaned against her neck almost greedily and breathed in her breath. "I don't deny that I really needed her half a month ago. So even if I didn't like her daughter, even if I always had you in my heart, when Imperial Father granted me the marriage, I still forced myself to smile and agree to the marriage. But now, I have a simpler way. I don't need to rely on anyone. I only need to rely on myself. Shu 'er, Xiahou Qing doesn't want you anymore, does he? I saw it that night. Now he avoids you and doesn't even want to look at you. Then, why are you still so obsessed with him? Let's go back to the past, okay? As long as we have the past. "
