Chapter 182: Speculation
Qin Yuan asked, "Are you sure that the person who went to look for your pulse that day was Miss Jian?"
Dongfang repeatedly affirmed, the head nodded heavily.
Qin Yuan seemed to feel that his head slowly cleared up, "Young Master Jian said that his sister was poisoned because he was forced to marry?"
Dongfang didn't understand why he asked, but he still nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows, "If my guess is right, Elder Jian Ge, there is a ** out of ten, he is the prince's person, but their relationship is not so strong." ”
Dongfang thought about what he had heard about the prince's character, and then carefully thought about the girl Jane who looked amazing, the sorrow on her face made people feel pity just by looking at it, and she felt unworthy for Miss Jane in her heart.
In the end, it is the hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass.
"Since you want to go back to Beijing, then send a letter to Pei Gu for me, and ask him to investigate the relationship between the Jian family and the prince, as well as the relationship between the prince and the Jiangnan sailors. After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he picked up his pen and quickly wrote a letter, a short piece of paper, the ink was fragrant, and after writing, he carefully dried the ink, and then sealed the letter in a secret letter box and handed it to Dongfang.
Dongfang took the letter and took a few subordinates to the north overnight to the capital.
When Pei Gu got the letter, it happened to be in the capital at night, and Pei Gu familiarly touched the roof of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion.
The secret guard standing under the tree saw the old acquaintance, but this time he didn't say anything, and made way for himself to let Pei Gu into the courtyard.
Pei Gu smiled and threw out a small step bag, the secret guard reached out and took it, opened it and saw that there was a pot of good mountain and a roast goose.
God knows, these secret guards are Qin Weien's cronies brought out from the Silent Valley, only the Silent Valley can be brewed in the mountains, and after coming out for so many years, I haven't been able to go back, and I can't taste a few sips of this good wine, and now the cloth bag that Pei Gu handed over. Immediately, Le's eyebrows opened and he smiled.
If Qin Weien knew that his secret guard was bought by his future son-in-law twice before and after using a pot of mountain slugger like this, I don't know if his old man would spit out a mouthful of old blood angrily.
Pei Gu came to look for Huizhi this time because he had something to ask her.
The crown princess died in childbirth. There are many strange things, Lu Feng and Lu Zhan have already told Pei Gu the news that they had previously verified for Hui Zhi, but Pei Gu was not sure of the prince's intention to do so.
In the small courtyard of Yuhua Pavilion, as soon as summer arrives, two large ceramic vats are placed, and the vats are full of water. Raising water lilies cut from the garden, the water lily petals the size of the bowl are slightly closed, looking delicate and pleasant, the pink petals reflect the moonlight, the evening breeze is a little cool at night, as soon as the wind blows, the water surface of the water with the water lilies will turn up a layer of thin folds.
The courtyard was full of moonlight, and Bai Lian generally shone on Pei Gu who was lying on the roof.
Pei Gu has recently figured out Hui Zhi's habits clearly.
Hui Zhi is greedy for cold in summer and doesn't like the crowd in the house, so it is evening in summer. I often stay alone in the house, with windows open on both sides of the house, and ice by the windows, so that the room can be cooled down for two minutes as soon as the wind blows through the hall. As soon as the three o'clock passed, Hui Zhi would stay in the house by herself, and drive the maids into the wing room, so as not to call anyone to disturb her.
This habit greatly facilitates Pei Gu, who climbs over the wall at night.
Hui Zhi still holds a book and reads it under the lamp, but this book is not a travelogue of mountains and rivers, nor is it a book of words. Rather, it is the account books of the two ready-to-wear stores in Wang's dowry.
After Huizhu in the second room got married in May, Mrs. Tuesday was idle, and Wang's body became heavier and heavier, so she simply handed over the middle feed of the Hou Mansion to Mrs. Tuesday.
Mrs. Tuesday was bitter. Just waiting for Qin Yuan to come back from Jiangnan early and marry the girl of the Xia family, so he can have a helper.
The account book of the public middle school was handed over to Mrs. Tuesday, Wang's eyes were vicious, and she understood carefully when she looked at the account book, she was not worried about handing over all the middle feeds in the house to the Zhou family.
It's just a storefront in her dowry. First, it is her body, it is not good to hand it over to the concubine, and secondly, the eldest princess of Xinglong has mentioned many times that Hui Zhi is afraid that she will marry early, the two ready-to-wear shops on Baoxiang Street and Goldfish Street are in a good location, and they can have thousands of taels of silver every year, she is ready to make a dowry for Hui Zhi in the morning, and now simply hand over the two shops to her to take care of, so as to familiarize herself with them in advance.
It is because Huizhi looks at the account book every day these days, and what she sees is burned.
After turning over the income of the first quarter of the year, Hui Zhi rubbed the corners of her eyes, felt that her hair was a little loose, so she got up and went to the dresser, wanting to pull her hair together, but she didn't expect to hear the sound of someone gently knocking on the window.
Gently tap three times in a row, pause, and then three times in a row, and there is no movement.
Hui Zhi knew this, and slowly held her steps to open the window.
Sure enough, it was still Pei Gu in a strong suit.
Pei Gu saw that Hui Zhi's face was not very good, so he put away his thoughts about laughing, his face was serious, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I have something serious to ask you now." ”
Hui Zhi raised her hand and rubbed her head, and asked with a strong spirit, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that before the crown princess died, the female official of the East Palace came to the mansion to ask Senior Sister Jiang to check her pulse, but is it true?"
Seeing that he looked serious and asked about this matter, Hui Zhi also became solemn, nodded and affirmed: "It's true." Senior Sister Jiang went to the East Palace... It was also discovered that the prince had hidden the red medicine of the Lingren raised by the second uncle in the courtyard in the East Palace. ”
Pei Gu had heard this news from the current King of Filial Piety before, but it had been a long time, and the King of Filial Piety at that time, Yu Wenyi, was still a greedy and fun-loving fourth prince, but he had already sent people to secretly keep an eye on the three princes and the crown prince.
"In your opinion, is there anything strange about the death of the crown princess?" It's not suitable to say to a little girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet, but it's a big deal, Pei Gu still has to ask.
Dongfang is Jiang Caiqiong's own brother, originally Dongfang was going to deliver a letter and ask Jiang Caiqiong to go out, and the two of them said carefully... It's just that Pei Gu also wanted to find an excuse in his heart to meet Hui Zhi, which made Dongfang "Recently, you have been running around for a long time, why don't you rest for one night first, and I will go to ask for news overnight." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the window opened, Hui Zhi was also tired, and he regretted that he ran over in a hurry.
However, the words had already been spoken, and Hui Zhi thought for a while and said, "You wait a moment. At that time, Senior Sister Jiang went to the East Palace, the crown princess was not good-looking, very fierce, but she was originally born in Jiangmen, and her body was still good, if it was because of pregnancy and anxiety, she died in childbirth, it is difficult to say, but Senior Sister Jiang came back and told me about the situation in the East Palace in detail, so I asked your people to check the letter, and I will go and get it with you. ”
Pei Gu let out a "hmm", with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, standing by the window and watching Hui Zhi take things from the house. (To be continued.) )
