250.250 Grimace Jade Pendant
The fine golden silk nan coffin is placed in the center of the main hall, the pillars around it and the top of the hall are hung with white flags, the candle flame is faint, occasionally the night breeze pours in, the blowing candle flame is swaying, the shadow is shaking, as if the ghost shadow is silently peeping at the mortal.
Several eunuchs and maids who kept vigil were tightly at the brazier in front of the hall, throwing ingots into the brazier while talking, occasionally raising their heads and glancing at the floating hall of the white flags in a panic, but their eyes did not dare to glance in the direction of the coffin anyway, and they looked very afraid.
"Do you think the wind seems colder than it was just now?" One of the little maids glanced at the temple door and whispered to a few of her companions.
"What nonsense, of course the wind is getting colder and colder in the middle of the night, don't scare yourself if you have nothing to do!" The maid with a stern face scolded her.
"Speaking of which, this year's winter is indeed colder than in previous years, our Nanchu is like spring all year round, in previous years, it was good to wear single clothes, but this year it is necessary to wear two more layers, it is said that the Luzhou area on the border with Liang State to the north is colder than ours, and there are leaves falling down."
These words seemed to resonate, several people nodded one after another, and a little maid said: "I heard that Liang Guo snows in winter, and the snowflakes are flying all over the sky, but it is beautiful, I have never seen snow when I am so old, I really want to take a look." Huh"
"Hey, it's Wen Liangdi again, what's so good about snow, it's so cold, it's better for us to be in Nanchu, and the seasons are like spring."
"Speaking of Wen Liangdi, the prince spoiled her so much when she was alive, and now that the prince is newly mourned, except for crying in the side hall according to the rules, she has never come to see the prince once, her heart is cold, what's the use of looking good!"
ββ¦β¦β
Qin You stood in the shadow of the pillar of the hall and listened to a few people chatting their teeth idly, it seems that Zhao Xianming's queen is also surnamed Wen, that Wen Liangdi should be the queen Wen Qinglan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who said that it is useless to look good, the prince Liangdi is the future imperial concubine, I don't know how many innocent girls are worried about this position, and Wen Qinglan sat down lightly, which shows that the lethality of beauty should not be underestimated.
Seeing that a few people just shrunk together and didn't dare to walk around, Qin You put his mind at ease, but walked around the hall generously like the master here.
The hall is arranged in the shape of a mourning hall, many tables and chairs have been removed, and it is unlikely that the roselle flower will be placed here, and the only possibility is in the prince's coffin.
The coffins used by people in this era are also exquisite, the outermost patterns engraved on the coffin are also different for different identities, and the identity of the prince is second only to the emperor and queen, so the coffin has three layers, and the deceased's favorite personal objects or extremely important things will be placed directly in the coffin.
The prince has passed the first seven, the coffin lid has long been closed, Qin You put one hand on the coffin lid and is a little entangled in his heart, this prince has been dead for so long, Nanchu is damp and hot, it should have begun to rot, and when she opens the coffin, will it be smoked, even if she is not afraid, she will want to vomit when she sees such a disgusting thing.
However, she only struggled for a moment, and even blew the medicinal powder in her hand to the vicinity of the eunuchs and maids who were keeping vigil with internal force, and silently counted in her heart-
3γ2γ1β¦β¦ Poof!
Before they could react, they all fell to the ground.
Ji Qingzhu is worthy of being a generation of miracle doctors, and the poisons he prepares are more effective than others, and he will never delay it to three and a half breaths!
Originally, Qin You didn't plan to make any moves to arouse the suspicion of these people, so he came quietly, took something and walked silently, but the triple coffin was bigger than a double bed, and the coffin was heavy, so there was no problem for her to open it alone, but it would inevitably make some noise, in order to avoid the rumors of the prince's fraudulent corpse the next day from attracting the investigation of all eyes, Qin You had to use the Ji Shen Doctor card fan. Medicine - Sleeping incense......
By the way, I will despise the scum technique of the name given by the Ji Shen Doctor.
After confirming that there was no one around, Qin You slowly opened the lid of the coffin, fortunately, the coffin had not been completely sealed with nails, otherwise it would have caused a lot of trouble.
The heavy coffin lid was opened, and Qin You held his breath to prepare, but saw that the prince's body in the coffin was intact, and the crown clothes were neatly dressed, except for the blue face and no blood, it was like falling asleep.
There was no expected smell of corpse decay, but a faint smell of herbs, she just reacted, in addition to being good at singing and dancing, the people of Southern Chu are also good at raising insect Gu, and their attainments in medicine are not bad, I heard Ji Qingzhu say that he had also studied insect Gu techniques in the folk of Southern Chu for a period of time, and it should not be difficult to deal with the embalming of corpses.
At the moment when she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt dizzy, and was shocked, the people of the prince's mansion were so careful, in order to prevent someone from privately touching the prince's body, they made hands and feet in the embalming, and when the coffin was opened, the smell of medicine must contain some kind of poison, she didn't dare to delay more, she endured dizziness and trembled her hand and took out a pill from her pocket and put it in her mouth.
This was found from his life-like medicine box when she was studying pharmacology with Doctor Ji, in order to get this precious pill that cures all kinds of poisons, she did not hesitate to abduct and deceive and threatened to waste a long time to get Ji Qingzhu to agree to cut the meat, now that I think about it, it is definitely worth it, because after taking the pill for less than a moment, the dizziness subsided, and there were no other symptoms on the body,
I want to detoxify it.
Once again, I would like to give a thumbs up to Ji Qingzhu's skillful hands.
The people who came out of the royal family have always looked bad, this prince is also dignified, but now that he is dead, his face is calm, and he can't see what kind of person he was before he was born, Qin You only glanced at it very indifferently, and looked around in the coffin and didn't see anything like Roselle, but saw a very strange jade pendant.
It is said to be a jade pendant, but it feels very similar to jade, but ordinary jade will never exude a ghost-like green luster in the dark night like this thing, and the pattern carved by this thing is also very weird, not an auspicious pattern such as dragon and phoenix auspicious clouds, if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a grimace, as if a hideous and smiling ghost.
Qin You even dared to touch the dead, but the moment she got the jade pendant, her back was cold inexplicably, and the cold hairs on her body stood up, this was a warning sign of danger, every time she encountered a fatal danger, she would have a premonition, but after waiting in place for a while, nothing happened, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Outside the hall, there was occasionally the footsteps of the guards patrolling, and she didn't want to stay long, and when she closed the lid of the coffin, the ghost sent the jade pendant into her arms, and then she dodged into the darkness.
This time, the people who came to Nanchu with her were all people from the Green-clothed Gate, Lin Xitong stayed outside to answer, Chang Zeyue, the Mu brothers, and Xiao Ziyu, the Sword Master of Chengying who had not shown his face, led several masters of the Green-clothed Gate to accompany her into the mansion to look for her, and made an appointment to meet at the side gate of the Prince's Mansion at the end of the third watch.
Half an hour is enough time for them to rummage through the places where the prince's mansion may have hidden roselle, and it is useless to stay if there is no gain, blindly rummaging may alarm the people in the prince's mansion or the eyeliner planted by other princes, it is better to go back and discuss the countermeasures before making a decision.
When he left the main hall, Qin You glanced at the hourglass by the way, and there was still a lot of time before the gathering, so he turned around and walked towards Wen Liangdi's courtyard.
Wen Qinglan came to Nanchu to find an opportunity to take revenge on Liang Guo, she must not be willing to just be the prince's concubine, but from the conversation of the maids, I learned that she seems to be quite calm recently, and very leisurely, this is not normal, if the prince's death is related to her, maybe Roselle will be there for her.
Wen Qinglan's courtyard was very close to the prince's main courtyard, and it was only a few steps away, and it was quiet in the dead of night, only a little light came out of the bedroom window.
Qin You sneaked into the room quietly.
Ordinary people like to hide things not too far from themselves, and it is best to see them often to make sure that things are still fine, so she went to Wen Qinglan's bedroom without thinking about it, and wanted to look outside now, but found that the night watchman who stayed outside had been ordered to sleep in advance, and she was shocked.
Someone has already been here first!
She cautiously held her breath, and sure enough, the next moment a strong wind hit the back of her neck.
Is this trying to knock her out with a sneak attack? Qin You sneered, naΓ―ve!
When the hand was about to touch her neck, she turned around suddenly, grabbed it with her backhand, raised her foot and kicked at the weakness of the opponent's side, the opponent's reaction speed was not slow, the right hand was captured, and the dagger in the left hand stabbed Qin You's wrist, unable to dodge that kick, he could only arch his body to minimize the damage.
A muffled grunt came from the darkness.
Qin You's kick was infused with internal force, and he showed no mercy at all.
The two fought each other in one move, and quickly separated, staring at each other vigilantly, but Qin You was not very nervous in her heart, she already felt it, this person's kung fu was not as good as her, and it was not her who suffered in the fight.
She was very curious, who would come to Wen Qinglan's bedroom in the middle of the night, could it be the person behind the scenes who gave Wen Qinglan to the prince? Thinking of this, she didn't want to let this person go, and it was best to find out his identity.
The outer place is quite spacious, Qin You took the initiative to make a move, and after ten moves, he forced the person to only have the power to parry, but she wanted to tear off the other party's scarf several times, but she was dodged, which made her very unhappy, and her subordinates' attacks became more and more fierce, and the broken soul pierced the darkness, leaving scars on the other party's body.
See how long you resist, since you don't want to take off the fig leaf on your face, the master will cut the fig leaf on your whole body into pieces, see if you cover the top or the bottom!.
