Chapter 181: The Secret Door
Xuan Fei said with interest, and the tension on his face eased a lot.
"You're not sure which one it is?" Mu Lingyi was extremely keenly aware that Xuan Fei's words were unclear.
"Back to the master, you must not have imagined that it was the twin princesses who came, and I was in a hurry to investigate, and I couldn't tell the difference." Xuan Fei suddenly felt that he had not completed this task thoroughly, and his tone was full of frustration.
"It seems like it's going to be complicated." Mu Lingyi's brows were already frowning slightly, the things he didn't want to come to were too complicated and too difficult to solve.
He wants to solve the real matter quickly, and then he can leave here quickly, he has not only to go back to the Dark Gate, but more importantly, his deadline for being an official in the imperial court is approaching, he has been hindered by other things, and he can't really avenge his Yan'er and eldest brother.
Mu Lingyi was suddenly a little powerless, he felt that the direction of the development of things was really something he had not expected.
"Master, I bypassed a group of eunuchs when I came, and I heard them say that you and General Wu will be invited to participate, and General Wu will finally be able to stop guarding the frontier when the envoys come, and you will be asked to show your case-solving skills in front of the envoys."
Xuan Fei didn't know what these extra things meant, so he couldn't help but say it easily.
But Mu Lingyi was different, he found that the emperor had made up his mind to push him and Yan Er out at the same time, as well as the martial arts, it seemed that the emperor even wanted to tear off the mask of hypocrisy.
He began to understand why Yin Lu's conspiracy was brewing now, it was because he had not been able to succeed, this simple-looking emperor was actually very smart, and he had been suppressing Yin Lu faintly.
And the words of the predecessors of Wu this morning also showed that there is still an old man of the Dark Gate who wants to subvert the situation in this palace.
This calm palace has actually had an undercurrent.
Mu Lingyi motioned for Xuan Fei to keep an eye on Su Qiyan's whereabouts, while he took the file back to the house, and he sat at the round sandalwood table not far from the bed, looking at the secret scroll that Xuan Fei had retrieved from the Dark Gate Archives, while staring at the sleeping person on the bed.
He raised his eyes from time to time, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness.
His Yan'er slept so much during the day, he shouldn't be able to sleep at night, he smiled dumbly and continued to look down at the secret scroll.
Yan Le didn't wake up until the evening, first she felt that the dark room was slowly illuminated by candlelight, and then a figure next to the bed blocked all the light.
She slowly opened her eyes, and heard the figure calling out to her.
"Yan'er, it's time to wake up." Mu Lingyi's voice was very gentle, full of pampering, and he was not impatient at all because Yan Le was not moving.
Yan Le squinted her eyes slightly, reluctant to get up from the comfortable soft mattress, she raised her arms, and said in a soft voice: "Ling Yi, Yan Er has to hug, otherwise she won't be able to get up." ”
Her voice became more and more squeamish, and the little expression on her face became cute.
Mu Lingyi's heart softened, and his voice became lazy because of her influence, he stretched out his hand to scoop her into his arms, hugged her tightly, rubbed her ear, and whispered: "I really love Yan'er's coquettish appearance, I really want to hold it and not let go." ”
Yan Le didn't expect him to be conniving, his spirit instantly became full, he raised his head from his arms, his little finger poked lightly in his chest, and deliberately exaggerated a trace of dissatisfaction in his squeamish voice, and protested: "Ling Yi~ You will spoil me, I will become annoying!" ”
Mu Lingyi suddenly felt that this idea was good, spoiled his Yan'er, she would have to rely on him in the future, and others would not dare to worry about her anymore.
"Yan'er is so cute, how can she be annoyed, but this is a good idea to spoil you, so you can not leave me in the future."
He said charmingly, and his slender fingers gently stroked Yan Le's little face, which was warm from sleep.
"It's already inseparable, don't leave, Yan'er has to rely on Senior Brother Ling Yi, but Senior Brother Ling Yi's words also reminded me, I have to do this to you, okay," she blinked playfully, looking at him quirkyly, and then felt that this was just charming, and continued to emphasize: "Ling Yi, Yan'er is also used to you, spoiling you, okay?" ”
Mu Ling nodded uncontrollably and replied to her softly: "Okay." He thought that his love words could always be exchanged for Yan Le's deeper love words, which was really worthwhile. I have to say more, so that in turn, I can feel Yan'er's sweet love all the time.
"Ling Yi, I'm hungry," Yan Le's topic also changed quite quickly, and he suddenly talked about today's dinner. In fact, she suddenly realized that she had slept for too long, which was too abnormal, so she wanted to break up for a while.
Mu Lingyi didn't notice Yan Le's abnormality, because Yu Yan Le's body, he had already checked, and his pulse was stable, although it showed that he had been moved, but it would not have any bad effects at all, so he replied with a chuckle, got up from the bed and walked out of the inner room, and went to Pan Xia to arrange dinner.
Yan Le watched Mu Lingyi's footsteps step out of the door, sat cross-legged very quickly, and then exercised her breathing, she quickly found that her body was not in serious trouble, only missing that little bit of skill to worry about her teeth. Her relaxed and happy mood returned, and then she got out of bed in embroidered shoes, she looked at the pile of dense scrolls that Mu Lingyi had not confiscated, and picked them up with some doubts.
Yan Le stood beside the table and looked seriously by the bright candlelight.
The clear handwriting on the yellowed rice paper, as if it would move, was all neatly arranged in her eyes, and then analyzed in her mind.
This is a population file, and it is also a list of migrants spanning fifteen years before and after, she remembers that Ling Yi said that such confidential news can only be grasped by the special departments of the imperial court, and even if he wants to check, he also needs to go to the official office where the archives are stored to check, how can so many originals suddenly appear here.
She remembered that the last time Ling Yi showed him the five unsolved cases, they were hand-copied, not originals.
Thinking of this, she carefully searched for the first page of the secret scroll, wanting to see what was marked in the starting header.
She sorted out the secret scrolls by year, and did not see the labels, but saw the envelope in the middle of a large pile of papers, on which were written four large characters: Secret Door Secret Scroll.
Secret door? Why doesn't it sound like a department of the imperial court, does the Anti-Twilight Division have such a department?
When Mu Lingyi came in from outside the house, he saw Yan Le sitting at the table, and he could infer from the neatly restored paper on the table that his Yan Er had already seen it.
He put the tray in his hand on the table and asked Yan Le softly, "What did Yan'er see?" ”
Yan Le's slender fingers pointed to the four big characters on the envelope, and read in a low voice: "Secret door, secret door? Is there a branch in the anti-twilight division? ”
Mu Lingyi chuckled, although he didn't intend to hide it from Yan Le, but he was still amused by her sword's thinking logic, he took out the inkstone from the tray, ground it carefully with a drop of water inside, and said slowly: "There is a similar branch in the Anti-Twilight Division, but it is called the secret door." ”
Yan Le understood what he meant, these secret scrolls were not brought out by the Anti-Yu Division. She was suddenly silent, she remembered that Ling Yi had secrets, so could these secret scrolls have anything to do with his true identity.
She didn't ask any more questions, she wanted to wait for Ling Yi to say it herself.
Mu Lingyi was slightly surprised by Yan Le's composure, he thought that she cared so much about herself, but she still gave herself unlimited freedom all the time, and freely decided when she would tell her the secret again. He seems to know more about his Yan'er, she is not a person who likes to explore, at least she doesn't like to ask, she likes other people's confessions, just like she does the same to Man'er and Yan Mo.
But thinking that she treated herself with the same standards as others, Mu Lingyi's heart was suddenly very lost.
He likes Yan Le's possession, and Yan Le's arrogance towards him.
He frowned slightly, put down the small ink block in his hand, and went to hug Yan Le, who was sitting well on the chair, into his arms.
Yan Le was suddenly vacated, and his arms instinctively reacted to hook Mu Lingyi's neck, and even after being confined in his arms, he still grabbed his shoulders tightly.
She looked at Mu Lingyi amusedly, and said in a brisk voice, "Lingyi, I thought we were finally going to do business together." ”
Mu Lingyi looked at her topic away from what she had just said, and did not ask him at all, her heart became excited, there was a grievance in his eyes, and there was dissatisfaction in his tone.
He suppressed the unknown annoyance, and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, I don't think you care about me anymore, all along, you haven't wanted to understand my past and ask about my past!" ”
Yan Le was a little puzzled by his sudden protest, and his face was full of innocence, "En? What and what? I don't understand~ Ling Yi. ”
Mu Lingyi was even more angry by her innocent face, she was obviously delicate, but she always didn't go to the things she hid to wonder if she really felt that her past and secrets had nothing to care about.
He lowered his head and bit Yan Le's lip as if catharsis, which made her even more confused.
Yan Le didn't push Mu Lingyi away, nor did she get angry because of the pain, she deliberately stretched out her soft little tongue to resolve Mu Lingyi's impatience and rudeness.
Such a contrast shocked Mu Lingyi, he left her lips, afraid that he would hurt him if he continued to do so, and he was also afraid that his Yan'er would give him a hard touch like before, then he would lose more than he gained.
He suppressed his voice and said aggrievedly: "Yan'er, I'm so obvious, don't you want to ask?" ”
Yan Le suddenly realized, his eyes quickly moved away from his face, looking at the case file on the table, she understood, it turned out that Ling Yi was prepared to be honest and honest, so he would display such a secret file in front of her at will.
But Yan Le was a little funny, Ling Yi, he was eager to ask him himself, didn't he think that asking questions was too easy to cause conflicts? She hated conflict, she didn't want to have a conflict with Ling Yi, and the incident of going into the water without permission made her afraid of quarreling.
She looked back at Mu Lingyi, who looked forward to it, and suddenly felt funny, and had the heart to make fun of him.
Cunning flashed in her eyes, she deliberately pretended to be cautious, and said in a low voice, "Ling Yi, do you want to say that you were engaged in the theft/theft industry before?" ”
This will change Mu Lingyi's naivety and ignorance, as soon as his confused and sexy nasal voice came out, Yan Le began to make it up along the planned plot.
