Chapter Thirty-Six: Your Majesty Doesn't Raise It?
Bu Xihuan's face is not green, but it is just backed by the morning light, which makes it look particularly gloomy.
Twilight picked up what looked like a crotch bone and showed him the bottom, "This is the pubic symphysis, and when a woman gives birth, it opens and the baby is delivered from here." In the third trimester of pregnancy and during childbirth, the ligament attachment between the pubic bones is strained or the ligament is embedded in the bone, leaving a permanent indentation on the bone surface, called a birth scar, which is a typical bony feature of a woman's reproductive history. ”
She turned the bone to the side, and looked at the red light to show him the dorsal edge, and sure enough, there was a dent the size of a soybean kernel, and it looked a little rough.
"Although a small number of women who have never given birth have this dent, and even a very small number of men have this dent, there is a farrowing groove." She pointed to the ear-like human bone in her hand, and in the morning light, a groove could be seen, "This groove below the ear-like front of the iliac bone, deep and wide, with irregular edges and uneven bottom, is formed by bone resorption during pregnancy, called the delivery groove." In addition, there are some morphological scars on the upper part of the pubic symphysis and the bony crest, so I think it is very likely that she has a history of childbirth. ”
symphysis pubis, labor scarring, ilium auricular surface, delivery groove, bony crest......
Bu Xihuan looked at the twilight green, there was more exploration in his eyes, he was set as a court official during the reign of Renzong during the Wude period, although it has been more than 200 years, but because few people are willing to do it, now there is a big case in the central government to call experienced officials from nearby states and cities to do autopsy, it can be seen that there are very few talents in this line. He...... When I was young, I had seen the words, but I had never heard of them, and I always felt that what she said was particularly unfamiliar.
There was also an inquiring look in Twilight's eyes, Concubine Liu had given birth to a child, so how did she enter the palace?
When selecting a concubine in the palace, the list of unmarried daughters of local officials should be compiled and submitted to the palace, and the palace should send people to the local government to secretly check the virtues of the selected daughters. Before entering the palace, a single physical examination is not comparable to that of the beauty company. I heard that when the body examination was conducted, the woman to be selected was led into the dark room by a female officer, and she was ordered to wear a wide dress, touch her chest, explore her secrets, smell her taste, and inspect her skin.
Concubine Liu gave birth to a child out of wedlock, how did she pass the two levels of virtue and physical examination?
Let's talk about her family first, she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, doesn't the family know? How dare you report her roster to the palace?
Besides, in the palace, Bu Xihuan has not yet been established because of his good male style, and the affairs of the harem are in the hands of the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager is worried about the dragon heir, and the selection of concubines must be the top priority in the harem, she has been in the harem for many years and is well versed in the affairs of the palace, how could she make such a big mistake in choosing a concubine?
"What is Concubine Liu's background?" Twilight asked.
"The daughter of Shangling County." Bu Xihuan lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell into a silhouette.
Shangling, under the rule of Lingzhou, the county is the adjutant of a city, and he is the fifth product.
The daughter of a five-grade official, as soon as she entered the palace, she was given to the emperor by the queen mother, and she was crowned a concubine before she was favored?
This is really intriguing......
Last night, Bu Xihuan was willing to let her open the coffin for an autopsy, and she saw that he had no love for Concubine Liu, and he also said that he had never pampered Concubine Liu. Even if he likes it, he has been pampered, and it is impossible to be a concubine in the palace with the background of Concubine Liu. Then why did the Empress Dowager give Concubine Liu such a great favor? Does she know that Concubine Liu is not perfect?
If she knows, how could she give such a woman to the emperor as a concubine?
If you don't know, as soon as Concubine Liu died, why did she order to kill the palace guards urgently?
Twilight frowned, how could her father's death bring out so many doubts......
The suspicion was around her heart, and she couldn't solve it for a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Bu Xihuan. The man lowered his eyes, a dark shadow fell under his eyes, and the mountain wind blew his sleeves, making him feel even more quiet.
"Why didn't Your Majesty favor Concubine Liu?" Twilight asked, she finally knew where the strange feeling was coming from.
Whether the Empress Dowager knows that Concubine Liu is not perfect, Concubine Liu herself is clear, so she is not afraid of being discovered when she sleeps? To cuckold the emperor, you have to have the consciousness of losing the nine clans, not to mention the rumored moody, absurd, and unscrupulous people in front of him, who tortured and killed countless palace concubines. If he doesn't see through it, he won't end well, how dare Concubine Liu?
Bu Xihuan raised his eyes when he heard this, and the dark shadows under his eyes disappeared, but he felt even more quiet, "Do you want me to favor Concubine Liu?" ”
Twilight Qing was slightly stunned, if she was not mistaken, his pupils shrank when he raised his eyes just now, and his eyebrows were slightly pressed, which meant that he was a little unhappy in his heart, why was he displeased?
What does that have to do with whether she wants it or not? She's just reasoning about the case.
Seeing her "you are inexplicable" appearance, Bu Xihuan laughed at himself, he also felt that he was inexplicable, when the Empress Dowager gave Concubine Liu to him, she didn't know him at all, how could she hope or not? He turned around, and there was some inexplicable emotion in his heart, and after a while, his voice came through his back, and the mountain breeze, slightly low, "I don't like it." ”
But she was not satisfied with his answer, "Does Your Majesty dislike Concubine Liu, or does she dislike all the concubines in the harem?" ”
Bu Xihuan turned around, and his eyebrows, which had always been lazy, frowned slightly.
"In other words, how long has it been since Your Majesty has favored a concubine?" Twilight stared at him, the morning light shining on her clear eyes, exceptionally clear.
"Is this related to the case?" His voice was a little lower, there had never been such clear eyes in the palace, but at this moment he was a little annoyed that she was so clear. The woman who has not left the cabinet, when it comes to pampering, her face is not red and she is not panting.
"Yes!" Twilight nodded, "If Your Majesty often pampers Concubine Xing, then I can't figure out why Concubine Liu dares to enter the palace, isn't she afraid that she will be recognized when she sleeps?" But if His Majesty hasn't favored the concubine for a long time, it makes more sense. But ......"
But it doesn't make sense.
Just because you haven't been pampered for a long time doesn't mean you will never be pampered. Concubine Liu is not afraid of the whim of the emperor?
There is also the Empress Dowager, assuming that she knows that Concubine Liu is no longer perfect, isn't Concubine Liu afraid of what will happen when she sleeps?
Moreover, Bu Xihuan ascended the throne at the age of six, and it has been eighteen years so far, and now he is forty-four out of twenty, he may not have spoiled his concubines for a long time?
Although on the night she entered the palace, she saw that his indulgence was nothing more than acting, but this did not mean that he did not have normal needs......
There was still something she hadn't figured out.
Twilight looked at Bu Xihuan, waiting for his answer. There are too many doubts and clues that have been brought out by this bone examination, and she needs to sort it out so that she can know where to start next.
Bu Xihuan only looked at her, his eyes were indescribable, he only pursed his lips to look at her, and did not answer.
How should he sue her, he has never pampered those palace women?
Well? Twilight looked at him, but raised her eyebrows, and her gaze fell on the man's lips. The lips are slightly pink, and in the morning light, like early cherry blossoms falling on the branches of the mountains, they are good colors, but they are closed into a line.
Tightly closing the lips means that there is pressure and does not want to answer a certain question, which is an unspeakable expression.
Why is he so unspeakable? Didn't she just ask him how long he hadn't spoiled his concubine? Having trouble talking?
Males are born with the ability to show off, and in the animal kingdom, males use guò to show off their appearance to attract females, so as to obtain the right to reproduce. When it comes to humans, men often use guò to prove that they are strong, healthy, and powerful, as if in this way they can gain the favor and approval of women. Therefore, many men are happy to talk about it, and they have unspeakable secrets about it...... What does it stand for?
Twilight was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a rumor in the world - Emperor Yuanlong looked like a woman, and he liked to be female.
"Majesty Xià does not lift?" She asked.
Although she saw that Bu Xihuan was acting the night before, this did not mean that he was not a man. If he likes to lie in love with the male concubine, and has unspeakable secrets in the matter with the harem concubines, isn't the biggest possibility to be no?
So it makes sense!
An emperor who cannot pamper his concubine will not touch a woman who is not perfect, unless he borrows tools for the matter of serving. But he may be disgusted with women, and he will not even touch them. She remembered that on the night they met in the attic of the Assassin's Mansion, he asked her who she was trained from, and when she replied to Gu Nishang, his tone was quite disappointed.
His preferences, the Empress Dowager should be clear, since he is not afraid that giving Concubine Liu to him will be incidental, on the other hand, it also proves that he does not touch the concubine at all.
But if it is speculated like this, the purpose of Concubine Liu's entry into the palace needs to be investigated. The Empress Dowager is too, if the emperor doesn't raise it, it's useless for her to choose a concubine, so what is her purpose in putting Concubine Liu next to the emperor?
Twilight Qing frowned, she knew that many of her speculations were false propositions, if the Empress Dowager only made a mistake in the matter of choosing a concubine, and really didn't know that Concubine Liu was not perfect, then many of her speculations could not be established.
Sure enough, there are still too few clues to sort out.
The mountain breeze was slow, the young man half-lowered his head, his eyebrows were shallow for a while, stretched for a while, and frowned again, immersed in thought, and he didn't find that the atmosphere was a little quiet for a long time. The mountain wind swept the man's sleeves, the morning light fell, as if covered with frost, the morning dew in the mountains was slightly wet, and the red clouds on the sleeves were soaked in the cold.
I don't know how long it took, I heard a voice with hidden anger, "Twilight! ”
Twilight looked up and saw that the man had once again lost his lazy look since he had been talking freely last night, his face covered with anger, and his eyes were so bright that he could kill. She only raised her eyebrows in the man's angry gaze, and her face was cold, "What's the matter?" ”
She understood why he was angry, it was normal to be angry when she saw through this, but it was not normal not to be angry.
"You!" Seeing that she still asked him what was the matter, the man's face turned a little blue, and he stopped talking for a long time, and asked, "You...... Is it done? ”
"It's done." Twilight glanced at the bones on the ground.
The palace guards were killed, some clues have been broken, and there is no need to steam the bones to examine the injuries, but for the new clues found this morning, she still needs to sort out the clues again to find out the direction of the next step to investigate the murderer.
She lowered her eyes and continued to think. Bu Xihuan looked at her for a long time, suddenly laughed angrily, shook his red sleeves angrily, and strode away.
"Go back to the palace!" ――
Off topic -
Last night, I only had less, so I made everyone wait for a long time, and I made up 2,000 words to apologize again.
The next chapter is still full of words, I hope the girls bite me......
