CHAPTER XXXV

Lu Qin said that the pavilion was very quiet, only in the birdcage hanging in the pavilion, two restless birds were chirping and trying to get out.

Qi Xiangsi looked up at the little prince, he said in front of the eighth prince that she had been to all parts of Yongzhou, could it be that she knew about the Qi family and wanted to treat the eighth prince?

This is incredible, even if she knows her surname Qi, how can she be sure that the Qi family has saved the Eighth Prince.

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Xiangsi paused, seven years ago in September, it had been half a year since I left home, and I was from the south of Yongzhou.

My grandfather and father often go out to the doctor, and they will go to Zhuzhou when they go far, half a year is a relatively long time, when did my grandfather go out seven years ago?

Qi Xiangsi lowered her expression, and was shocked in her heart, if she remembered correctly, seven years ago, her grandfather traveled in early spring and February, after her grandmother's sacrifice day, and that trip was out for a long time, and she went to many places, and she only came back in October.

There are only a few counties in the south of Yongzhou, and if you want to say that people with excellent medical skills, the Qi family is indeed a little famous.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiangsi looked at the little prince, how many places he had inquired.

"I've heard of some of the little girls who are skilled in medicine." Qi Xiangsi retracted his expression and stood there smiling respectfully, "I don't know if the Eighth Prince still knows anything about this doctor." ”

"I met him in a small county town outside Yongzhou, he is an old gentleman, half a hundred years old, and he looks amiable." Yan Congmu still has a deep impression of the doctor, after all, they have been together for four or five days, "I rarely hear him mention his family, and I don't know who he is in his family." ”

What kind of clue is this, Qi Xiangsi looked at the birdcage, the two birds in it were still jumping, the little prince called her to confirm whether it would be the Qi family who had treated the eighth prince, but even if it was, the grandfather and father had passed away.

"I remember, the old gentleman seems to have a habit." Yan Congmu's voice sounded, Qi Xiangsi turned his head, he smiled gently, "Before and after acupuncture, after he takes out the needle, he will first soak it in the medicinal soup he cooked, and then take it out and dry it on a cotton cloth. ”

Qi Xiangsi suppressed the throbbing in her heart and smiled calmly: "Such a habit seems to be rare." ”

Yan Congmu looked at her, and the smile in her eyes made her feel as kind as possible: "What Miss Qi said is very true, doctors have their own habits, that old gentleman has a peaceful aura, and his conversation is also good, aside from seeking medical treatment, it is also a blessing to see him again." ”

When it came to this, Qi Xiangsi had to name a few people even if it was fabricated, and she replied with a smile: "There are a few people in the south of Yongzhou who have achieved medical skills, but the little girl is not sure if there are any doctors who have treated the Eighth Prince, if the Eighth Prince doesn't mind, I can write down their names first." ”

"Miss Qi, please." Lu Qin asked her to go out of the pavilion and walk to the room in front, and Yan Congmu turned his head to look at Yan Congyu in the pavilion here, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "Eleven, why do I think you don't mean to be drunk." ”

Yan Congyu looked down slightly at Yan Congmu who was sitting there, with an expressionless face: "Maybe there are some eyebrows." ”

"She's a girl, and she was only seven years old seven years ago." Yan Congmu lightly reminded him that even if it was a few years later, it would only be a teenager, and a teenage girl could have heard about how many things she had heard about in many places, and how far-fetched it would be to ask her about it.

Yan Congyu looked very calm: "There may be clues." ”

Yan Congmu smiled, knowing it in his heart, so he no longer continued to say this, but really mentioned his life's events: "No matter how late it is next year, my father will also set a family affair for you, and then you will have no reason to shirk it." ”

Two years ago, he was young, but now he is not young, the side concubines on the old ten mansions are pregnant, as long as the father wants to, there will definitely be a hostess in the Yuwang Mansion.

Before, he was quite worried, with Eleven's temper, let alone becoming a biological child, he was afraid that he would not even let other women approach, but now looking at it, there seems to be an exception.

Yan Congyu's face did not change: "I'll go over and take a look." ”

After that, he got off the pavilion and walked towards the house where Qi Xiangsi had just entered, Yan Congmu sat in the pavilion and looked at it with a smile, half a sound, looked up at the birds in the cage, picked up the branch in his hand and gently teased: "I'm tired of thinking about it, I'm enlightened." ”

When Yan Congyu entered the house, Qi Xiangsi was biting the pen and meditating, where did she know what kind of person practiced medicine, let alone Yongzhou, even she didn't know about Nanxian County, and after thinking about it for a long time, she only remembered one.

After hearing the movement, she raised her head, Yan Congyu had already walked to the table, looked down at the name she wrote, frowned slightly, and asked her in a deep voice: "Why don't you write the Qi family." ”

Qi Xiangsi put down the pen: "The Qi family was destroyed, and you don't know it, little prince, it's useless to write it." ”

"Still alive."

Qi Xiangsi couldn't deny pouting, wanting to say what is the use of living, but when he met his gaze, Qi Xiangsi looked at him: "So what, since the little prince has already investigated the case of the Qi family, he should also know that even if it is really the Qi family who has treated the Eighth Prince, now the person is no longer in the world, and besides, it is not necessarily the Qi family." ”

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the habits mentioned by the Eighth Prince are the same as those of his grandfather.

Yan Congyu looked at her, Qi Xiangsi's expression was particularly calm, he motioned to Lu Qin to put a flat box on the table, Qi Xiangsi was stunned, opened it and looked at it, his expression gradually condensed.

There is a very old mat inside, it turned out to be a dark linen, the top has become very rough, the corners of the threads have also emerged, the middle is slightly high, the four sides are on the lower edge, Qi Xiangsi is very familiar with this, this is a pulse pillow.

Father's pulse pillow likes to use blue and white, grandfather likes to use simple cloth to do, the middle compartment with a medicine pad, and then wrapped in linen, with a few particle-filled sacs filled in the pulse pillow, occasionally the sun is good grandfather also likes to take it out to dry, there is always a faint fragrance of medicine.

Qi Xiangsi raised his hand to take out the pulse pillow from the box, because too much time had passed, the thread on the left side was exonerated, and one of the sacs was exposed, and the medicine pad in the corner had long been gone, with an old smell of cloth, but there was a sense of familiarity everywhere.

"Where did you find this thing?" Qi Xiangsi looked up at him, her voice trembling slightly.

"A family in Nanxian County, the old man of the Qi family fell when he went to see a doctor in the past."

Qi Xiangsi was stunned, grandpa had seen so many patients, how long had he inquired.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiangsi took a deep breath, looked at him, and a smile raised slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Little prince, how much do you know about the Qi family." ”

It is easy to inquire about the past of the Qi family, especially in Nanxian County, where the Qi family still has a certain reputation.

But after the accident, the Qi family was not easy to inquire, the government buried it, the murderer did not know who it was, and the people who had been friends with the Qi family in the past also became strangers overnight, not to mention those relatives, who walked and hid.

No one simply came to the door to recognize relatives, the time passed more and more, and the case did not reach Kyoto, for the people of Nanxian County, in addition to sighing that this family is pitiful, it is the viciousness of spitting the murderer, and then I miss the medical skills of the two masters of the Qi family in the past.

And the little prince really heard a lot.

Listening to Lu Qin's words, Qi Xiangsi touched the pulse pillow in his hand, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

"Six years ago, someone saw a girl in Wanxian County with a boy over a year old looking for the whereabouts of the Zhou family, but the next day I didn't see them again, and then someone in Yongzhou seemed to have seen them, and then there was no news of the sister and brother."

Even she knew that she had been to Wanxian County with her younger brother, Qi Xiangsi smiled lowly: "Then you must have also checked my affairs." ”

Lu Qin glanced at his master, and then said: "Miss Qi has not lived in Huizhou for twelve years, she has lived in Huizhou for more than two years after leaving the Qi Mansion eight years ago, and then disappeared. ”

Qi Xiangsi lightly picked up his words: "Half a year later, he appeared in Yongzhou, begged for three years, and then came to Kyoto to look for relatives." ”

The room was quiet for a moment, and Lu Qin looked at his master again: "It is confirmed that there was another girl with Miss Qi at that time, her identity is unknown, that girl is weak and often sick, and after Miss Qi left Yongzhou, she is nowhere to be found." ”

The wind blew into the window, the house was quiet, Qi Xiangsi never thought that her identity could be hidden for a lifetime, she could ask Xiaoliu and them to help her, but she couldn't make so many people in Yongzhou who had seen her and A Ying change their minds.

One day, the Qi family will know about her, but she didn't expect that it would be him who would find out first.

Isn't that what Lu Qin's words meant, she and A Ying have been in Yongzhou for a few years, A Ying is weak, and her identity is unknown, she will appear in Nanxian County, kill someone and investigate the affairs of the Qi family, how can she be the real Miss Qi family.

But he didn't say anything.

According to her current status, she did not say that she was an impostor.

Yan Congyu looked at her, the expression on her face changed with her feelings, and finally she raised her head, looked at herself with a smile and asked, "The little prince has investigated so clearly, the case of the Qi family six years ago can be found to be the murderer?" ”

Lu Qin glanced at the master and no longer answered, Qi Xiangsi got up and carefully put the pulse pillow in the box: "The little prince asked me to come over, just to prove whether the eighth prince met the old man of the Qi family back then, but even if it is, they have passed away, and all the Qi family is buried in the fire, even if someone is alive, I don't know how to treat the eighth prince." ”

Qi Xiangsi frowned again when she saw him, looked up at him, and smiled calmly: "I can't help the Eighth Prince." ”

Even if Lu Qin said so much, even if he knew it, Qi Xiangsi still couldn't nod and say that he was the Qi family, if he had the heart to expose it, why bother so much.

Just as she bet that he wouldn't tell her about her murder at the beginning, it's the same now.

"I'm not going to break my word." Yan Congyu looked at her as if she was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the most helpless was when she fainted in the alley.

The more she investigated, the more she had an explanation for her behavior at the beginning, why the young lady who didn't leave the door knew about making a fire like that, why she was able to find the herbs for healing in the wild, and why she went to Nanxian alone to kill someone who should be irrelevant.

Even when she crossed the river, she was so desperate.

Obviously, a person who is so afraid of death wants to live at any time.

Qi Xiangsi stood there looking at him, a little incomprehensible, she couldn't help him and was willing to help the Qi family overturn the case, what did he want?

At this time, the afternoon sun shines through the windows, and the room is especially bright.

Yan Congmu, who had been waiting outside for a long time and didn't see them out, came in, he stepped into the door, raised his eyes and saw the scene in the house, Eleven standing in front of Miss Qi somehow, looked very tall.
