Chapter 193: One Bad Move

VIP chapter content,

The carriage stopped at the west corner gate of the Breeze Garden, and as soon as the old paste put down the reins, Li Shuci couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and rushed into the yard.

The Li Mansion occupies a large area, and Aunt Shen is the biological mother of the eldest uncle, so she lives in the Xiangyuan not far behind the big house. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But in this way, it is the farthest away from Li Shuci's yard. Li Shuci didn't even change his clothes, he was pulled by Li Yi all the way to the direction of the big house, and he had to pass through several partition walls and narrow alleys in the middle, Li Yi said as he walked: "The incident happened suddenly, I didn't have time to rush to see it, as soon as I heard that something happened in the Xiangyuan Courtyard, I came to you as soon as possible!"

Zhou once said that she had bumped into a strange woman in the Maoxiang Courtyard, and the beautiful and unusual woman was dressed very similarly to Aunt Shen's grandmother. Li Shuci once suspected that it was the true face of 'Aunt Shen', but unfortunately now the Zhou family can no longer prove to Li Shuci whether the Empress Shen in the portrait is the person she once met. However, it is enough to explain everything through Shen Jiayi, Shen Jiayi and Aunt Shen's grandmother have always been closer than others and have frequent contacts, so it is logical that they look like them. In this way, who else can be the person who has been hiding in the Li Mansion for many years and has replaced the 'real Aunt Shen'!

Although Li Shuci hadn't seen it yet, he could already guess what was going on in the Purple Fragrance Temple. The news that she can know, the 'Shen family' may be earlier than she knows! If she can get out once, she can get out a second time! Helian Tao is now too late to arrange manpower outside the Li Mansion. "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the Xiangyuan Temple first. ”

There is a wide corridor between the big room and the second room, in order to facilitate the passage, a moon door is opened in the courtyard wall for people to enter and exit, when a few people walk, there are already many people standing near the moon gate. The girls and mothers-in-law talked a lot, and some of them looked frightened and didn't dare to say much. Li Shuci walked through the crowd and heard a lot of noise and discussion from inside.

As soon as he entered the Maoxiang Courtyard, Li Shuci saw Li Weicheng and Li Weiqi's brothers, plus the Wu family, the Lan family, etc. were all standing in the courtyard, and Li Weicheng's aunts were also here at this time, but the number of people was obviously much smaller than before. Yao is pregnant, and she will not appear on such an occasion to avoid collision. Li Shuyu grabbed Aunt Pang's sleeve, and the two stood behind Wu, and as soon as Li Shuyu saw Li Shuci, she whispered hello to her: "Fifth sister!"

Li Shuci gave Li Yi a look, and Li Yi dispersed with her and went to the housekeeper to inquire about the news. Li Shuci first glanced inside the house and saw that Li Yu and the doctor in the house had just come out of it. asked Li Shuyu: "Sixth sister, what's wrong?"

Li Shuyu was a little scared, and whispered: "Early this morning, the next person came into the house and called Aunt Shen to get up, but found that Aunt Shen was dead...... The servants were all locked up. ”

Li Shuci said secretly: That's really the case......

Li Yu's face was very ugly, "Tell someone to go to the Shen Mansion to deliver a message." "Although Aunt Shen is a concubine, the funeral still has to be managed. Li Shuci didn't know how much his grandfather knew about the Shen family, but his grandfather was obedient to the Shen family! Looking at his face, it was obvious that he was unaware of his sudden incident today. Aunt Shen didn't tell him any news, so she broke away from the shackles of 'Aunt Shen's identity and walked away from him!

Li Shuci didn't know if he should laugh at Li Yu's self-inflicted sentimentality and pull him out of his sweet dream. In short, things got troublesome. She also thought that the Li Mansion and the Shen family had been cleaned, and they would no longer be involved as before. But Empress Shen ...... She didn't even die, but she was still well fed and clothed and hid in their Li Mansion for 17 years! Li Shuci felt incredible! How did she do it? Grandfather really risked his life and disregarded the entire family and was willing to take such a risk for her? Li Shuci almost instantly felt that the entire Li family was like a sacrifice to Empress Shen!

King Confucian, she and the Helian family have been constantly pushing the Shen family to go that way. But now that such a situation has happened, if the Shen family really reaches the moment when they raise troops, will the Li Mansion be able to stand alone? Thinking about it with her toes, she knows that it is impossible! A few days ago, she felt that it was a matter of passing to help the Sixth Princes seize the throne, but now she feels that this matter has become inevitable.

Once many matters were ordered, a lot of people in the courtyard dispersed, leaving only the masters still in the courtyard, 'Aunt Shen' after Li Weicheng married, she didn't care much about his affairs, and hid in the Xiangxiang Courtyard all day long to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and many matters in the big house were handled by the Zhou family. Therefore, Li Weicheng's feelings for Aunt Shen's grandmother are still before they get married, and they will see each other less in the future, and his own temperament is not a person who values love and righteousness, so that bit of family affection gradually stagnated. Li Weiqi said softly: "Big brother...... Shall we go in and see my aunt?"

Li Weicheng nodded abruptly and looked at Li Yu, a little inquiring. Seeing this scene, Li Yu subconsciously wanted to stop it, but he felt that there was no reason, and when he thought of the corpse inside, he felt that it was not necessary, so he put down his raised hand again. "Let's go inside. ”

Li Weicheng took the lead in leading everyone into the inner room. Only Aunt Pang accompanied Li Shuyu and did not move. Li Shuci walked behind and walked in under the cold gaze of his grandfather. She knew that since her grandfather did not stop her, she let people look at it generously, and she knew that she must be fully prepared, and she was not afraid that people would see the corpse. And the moment she saw the corpse, she was still stunned in place.

Not only her, but everyone was frightened by the scene in front of them. Lan Shi simply regretted coming in to join in the fun, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he didn't care about any face etiquette at all, and stumbled out of the house and vomited. Li Shuci's face turned blue, and she didn't know how to describe the corpse in front of her. The corpse's body was the middle coat worn when it went to bed, and the exposed parts, including the cheeks, were all large and small, red, white and white like blisters, like a lazy toad with pus all over its body!

Qingge endured the nausea and stood still, Mu Yun had seen some patients with similar symptoms, and the reaction was okay. She said in Li Shuci's ear: "It's like a symptom of blood rash, if it's serious, it can indeed die violently overnight." ”

Li Shuciqiang took a closer look at the discomfort of his body, the corpse was a little swollen, and some pus pockets on his body had burst, and the pus was stained on the white middle coat. The strange thing is her posture, her body is stiff, her mouth is slightly open, her hands are crossed on her abdomen, but her fingers are bent into claws, as if she was in great pain before she died, and she was desperately trying to grasp something. Mu Yun said: "It seems that someone forcibly put the two arms in place after death. ”

No matter who it is, in short, it is the substitute ghost found by Queen Shen. Li Shuci pretended to be scared, took a few steps back, and looked at the whole room. The furnishings in the house are very ordinary and simple, except that there are more Buddhist shrines than ordinary people's houses, and there is nothing worth noting.

After a while, an experienced mother-in-law from the house came to clean up the body, saying that the coffin was ready, and the body could be put into the coffin first. Li Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out, came to Li Yu, and asked, "Father, aunt, this is ......?"

Li Yu glanced at Li Shuci, who was helped out by the girl, and said in a deep voice: "The illness is urgent, but it is a common illness, and the doctor in the house can confirm it, such a way to die is to get things done as soon as possible, and don't spread gossip." ”

Li Wei hurriedly bowed his head and admitted: "Yes, father." ”

Li Shuci returned to Fufeng Yuan, and said, "It's too late for us to find out!"

Mu Yun asked, "Is that corpse Empress Shen?" Was it killed by the Shen family, or was it dropped?"

Qingdao poked Mu Yun with his finger: "Why is your brain so ineffective? Naturally, it has been dropped! The corpse has become so unsightly, and it must be concealed as it is." ”

"That's right, I think that even if the Shen family really wants to kill her in their hearts, they may not actually be able to be her master! Shen Yuan is her biological son, and she herself is a ruthless and clever master, so it's impossible to say who controls who now!" Li Shuci was annoyed in his heart, "Moreover, if you think about it carefully, no one knows what her situation was and how she grew up in the more than ten years before she entered the Shen Mansion. Can she set up such a big game, and there is no vacuum behind her, and she has no power of her own? The people who the prince exterminated in the mountains last time were all carefully selected and good, maybe they were the ...... that Empress Shen prepared for Shen Yuan."

Mu Yun didn't know what to say: "This Empress Shen has more eyes than you, girl...... Besides, I don't think the corpse was very peaceful when it died! It happened so suddenly, maybe she temporarily captured her maidservant as a substitute for the dead ghost......"

"Mu Yun, you ask Mu Shan to tell the prince to be careful outside, Empress Shen has already escaped. In case it's bad for any of us...... We are in the light and in the dark, it is really difficult to deal with it......" Li Shuci was extremely irritable in his heart.

"Where can she go in such a short period of time, can she go back to Shen's house?" said Qingge.

Mu Yun glanced at her: "If the Shen family was safe, she would have gone back a long time ago." Why go around in such a big circle. ”

Qingge ignored her and said, "Didn't you say that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

If the most dangerous and safest place, which she has painstakingly arranged for so many years, is there a better hiding place than the Li Mansion? She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait until the evening and then go to the Xiangyuan Courtyard!"
