That's not all. Li Youqing also ordered people to fetch the map of Hebei Road, spread it out on the large vermilion case, and together with two Dian soldiers, they studied it in detail.
She was ready to investigate the case herself.
But she specializes in medicine, and after getting through all the work, Li Youqing feels powerless. When it comes to court battles, she is better than most men, but she can't investigate cases.
"Eh!"
Finally, she fell back on the big chair, sighed, rubbed her brows, and wanted to give up. She was really not the material to investigate the case.
At this time, a palace maid came and said outside the study:
"Princess Qi, Su Wenxu has returned from Youzhou and is about to return to camp!"
"Um?"
Li Youqing raised his eyes, obviously startled, and asked in confusion: "Why did Su Wenxue come back suddenly?"
Dong Dianjun blurted out: "Could it be that Su Wenxue found the hiding place of the 10,000 Liao troops?"
The princess frowned, thinking it was impossible, but her heart still moved slightly, with a hint of hope.
Qiu Dianjun scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? If Su Wenxue really solves the case, there should be some clues in the news coming back from Youzhou."
At this time, Li Youqing waved his hand.
The two officers immediately shut up.
Li Youqing called the little maid outside the door into the house and asked Su Xian why he returned from Youzhou.
The little palace maid shook her head and said: "Su Wenxu didn't respond, but according to Tan Ma who came back to report, Su Wenxue's face is very ugly!"
"Looking ugly?"
The last trace of hope left in Li Youqing's heart also disappeared. After dismissing the little palace maid, she rubbed her brows and continued to discuss the case with the two officers.
The fact that she has reached this point as a woman is not solely due to Her Majesty the Queen's favor.
His mental toughness is rare even among men.
Although she is not good at investigating cases, she will not give up easily...
At this time, it was several miles away from the main camp.
A group of carriages and horses were running wildly on the official road.
"Stop, stop!"
Suddenly, Su Xian's voice came from the carriage.
Yan Dashan hurriedly reined in the horse.
Then, Su Xian opened the curtain of the carriage and stumbled out of the carriage. Yan Dashan quickly supported him to prevent him from falling, and asked with concern:
"How are you feeling, young master? Are you still motion sick?"
"vomit……"
Su Xian's feet landed on the ground, one hand was strongly supported by Yan Dashan, and the other hand grabbed the wheel of the carriage. He lay there retching and looked very ugly.
It turned out that Su Xian returned to Yingzhou this time without any stopover and was working hard all the way.
Since the carriage did not have shock absorbers and the official customs in ancient times were very poor, they were traveling very fast. As time went by, Su Xian inevitably suffered from motion sickness.
The bitter bile almost came out of him.
After vomiting for a while, Su Xian felt much better. He sat down on the spot, leaned against the wheel, and looked up at the sun in the sky.
The bright and dazzling sunshine was just like Su Xian's current mood.
"Bright" because I can see Li Youqing right away, I can do business right away, and I can get rid of that damn "quasi-face-to-face roster" right away.
】
For more than half a month, he has been traveling back and forth, working tirelessly, and sometimes being frightened and worried about gains and losses. Why did he experience all this?
Isn’t it just to protect the towering tree of Princess Lanling!
If he wants to live a human-like life in this chaotic ancient times and get a sufficient sense of security, Su Xian must try his best to get as close to the top of the pyramid as possible.
Although he was once a child of an aristocratic family, he has long been separated from the family, and the current aristocratic family has long lived up to its former glory. It is useless even if Su Xian still stays in the Su family in the divine capital.
His foundation is weak.
At present, the only way is to hold the thigh.
It is precisely because of this that Su Xian is unwilling to give up everything he has now easily.
Giving up means starting over.
Well now, he finally solved this difficult case and was finally relieved. He finally defeated this seemingly unsolvable difficulty!
The "dazzling" was due to the violent bumps along the way, which made Su Xian very sick and vomited. He almost vomited out bitter bile. It was really uncomfortable.
But in order to rush back to Yingzhou as soon as possible, Su Xian endured various physical discomforts along the way.
Seeing that he was almost done, he didn't want to delay, even for a minute.
"Hel me up."
After resting for a while, Su Xian recovered a little. With Yan Dashan's help, he slowly stood up and prepared to get in the car and continue on his way.
During this period, Yan Dashan advised him to rest a little longer. He only had these last few miles, so there was no need to rush.
Su Xian ignored him and only ordered his horse to work faster.
He didn't want to wait any longer.
Finally, Yan Dashan gave in and suggested that the last few miles should be walked slowly. Firstly, it would provide some relief. Secondly, if Su Xianruo was still vomiting when he met the princess, it would be bad.
Su Xian thought for a while, nodded and said:
"What you said makes sense. In these last few miles, let's slow down and walk slowly."
"..."
Two quarters of an hour later.
Camp.
The princess sleeps in the tent.
study.
Li Youqing and the two officers had their heads together, analyzing the case, discussing clues, and chatting animatedly.
At this time, a little palace maid announced outside the door: "Princess Qi, Su Wenxu has entered the palace gate."
Li Youqing gave a soft "hmm" without raising her head, as if she didn't understand what the little palace maid was saying, and then continued her lively chat with the two officers.
Just like that, a while passed.
The three masters and servants of Li Youqing paused their discussion and frowned in deep thought. They encountered an obstacle that they could not overcome——
How did the 10,000 Liao troops disappear overnight under the surveillance of tens of thousands of people?
This problem is almost unsolvable.
Li Youqing rubbed her temples, picked up the glass cup and took a sip of strong tea.
At this time, the light outside the study dimmed.
Suddenly a voice sounded:
"Your Majesty Su Xian, please see the princess!"
"Uh-huh?"
Li Youqing was startled and almost lost his grip on the glass cup in his hand.
She suddenly raised her eyes and stared at the open door. A doubt arose in her mind: Why was there a man's voice within the confines of her sleeping tent?
As a princess, she naturally has eunuchs in her palace, but she prefers to use palace maids.
There shouldn't be a man's voice in this bed tent.
Even if it's just a eunuch.
Immediately afterwards, Li Youqing realized that the person outside the door was not the eunuch of the mansion, but... Su Xian?
Su Xian just barged in without any notification?
Where are the guards guarding the door of the sleeping tent?
Are you all blind?
Thinking of this, Li Youqing frowned, his face darkened slightly, and he scolded in a majestic voice: "Su Wenxue? How dare you break into my bedroom?"
"..."
outside the door.
When Su Xian heard this, his head buzzed, and he thought that the princess was too forgetful. She had just given the order a few days ago, saying that he could go to bed directly without having to report.
Why now...
Why is it so unreliable?
Su Xian's eyebrows gradually knitted together.
Fortunately, Qiu Dianjun's voice sounded in the study, reminding Li Youqing that she had personally given the order, and Su Xian could go directly to the sleeping tent without informing him.
"Hey, I was confused and forgot about this."
There was a hint of apology in Li Youqing's voice, and then she asked curiously: "Didn't someone just say that Su Wenxue is still several miles away from the camp? We're here in such a blink of an eye?"
In the study, Qiu Dianjun and Dong Dianjun pursed their lips, but did not say much after all.
Li Youqing really didn't listen to what the little palace maid reported just now...
Su Xian outside was even more confused about what was going on.
"come in!"
Li Youqing gave the final instructions.
Su Xian walked into the study, performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and was given a seat by the princess.
"Why did Su Wenxue suddenly return to Yingzhou?"
Li Youqing rubbed her eyebrows, her beautiful face showing signs of fatigue. She had spent countless energy discussing the case with the two Dianjun soldiers just now.
In addition, because of the sentence "Su Wenxue's face is ugly" just now, Li Youqing's last hope for him disappeared, so he couldn't cheer up.
If it weren't for the fact that she valued Su Xian, she wouldn't have let Su Xian in this time.
Time is running out now. She only has half a month, so she must seize every minute and every second.
"Princess Qi, I have something important to report when I return to Yingzhou this time!"
Su Xian endured the excitement in his heart and remained calm there. However, due to the previous motion sickness and vomiting, his face was always a little gloomy, which gave people a feeling of "unsightly complexion".
When Li Youqing saw this and heard that he wanted to report something important, his heart sank.
It must be a big event worthy of Su Xian rushing back to report it in person.
"Su Wenxue, please tell me."
Li Youqing rubbed her eyebrows, and couldn't help but think that Her Majesty the Queen's deadline of half a month to solve the case was enough to trouble her brain, and now Su Xian has sent "a big thing".
Eh.
She feels headache.
On the side, Qiu Dianjun and Dongdianjun also looked sad. Seeing the princess in a bad mood, they felt as if a huge stone was weighing on their hearts, making them particularly uncomfortable.
"Princess, regarding the case of the disappearance of 10,000 Liao troops... I'm the official..."
Su Xian suddenly paused mid-sentence.
Because he hasn't made up his mind yet, how should he explain this matter? Should he just say it directly? It seems that he feels sorry for his travels for more than half a month.
He was troubled.
But for Li Youqing and the two Dianjun, it was not as simple as being entangled in their hearts. Their hearts were lifted up violently and hung in the air, without any peace.
They couldn't help but make random guesses, could it be that... there were variables in this case again?
If this is the case, it will be very difficult to solve the case within half a month.
"Your Majesty..."
Su Xian couldn't think of a better way, so he simply returned to his original nature and said forget it.
He paused, raised his eyes to look at Li Youqing's beautiful eyes, and said directly:
"Your Majesty has solved the case!"
"..."
Su Xian's words fell into everyone's ears clearly.
Li Youqing was shocked when he heard this.
The tired face changed again and again in an instant, and the sadness in Feng's eyes was swept away, and two invisible beams of light were shot out, staring at Su Xian below.
She sat behind the large vermilion case without moving, her back was temporarily away from the back of the chair, her upper body was slightly leaning forward, and she asked word by word:
"Su Wenxue, what did you just say?"
