Chapter Forty-One clues appear
Today's last update, I'm going to take a break in the next few days, recharge, I hope you understand! But don't worry, I won't be away for long. Love everyone! Boom! I'm the divider----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean is that there are Gu that even your master can't solve." I was surprised.
"Yes." Xu Zijie replied in a deep voice.
"Looks like we're going to have to be more careful." I said sternly.
"Next, do we have to go to Ningfu for a trip?" Xu Zijie said.
"Yes, tomorrow during the day, when I come back from the palace, I have to go to Ningfu to find out."
"I'll wait for you tomorrow to act together. It's too late, Wan'er, go back next door and rest first! I have to go into the palace early tomorrow morning to tell the Queen Mother and them! ”
"Well, then you should rest early."
I went back to my room, thinking about it, and slowly fell asleep. In my sleep, I felt someone approaching me, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open.
"You! I really can't let up for you for a while. "Someone spoke to me, but my consciousness slowly disappeared and I fell into a deep sleep. Xiahou Fei pulled the quilt up, tucked the corners of the quilt, and left quietly. In my sleep, I didn't know that Xiahou Fei had come.
The next day, as the previous two days, I went to the palace to tell the queen mother and the mothers, and at noon when I was about to leave the palace, sure enough, the eighth princess was waiting for me, and she also brought a helper.
"Sixth brother, it's her, you have to help me teach her a good lesson, oh yes, don't you want to eat that toffee? The secret ingredient is on her. The eighth princess looked at me with ill will.
"Don't worry, Eighth Sister, whoever bullies you, Sixth Brother will help you get it back." The sixth prince said proudly with his head held high.
I shook my head and looked at the six princes, so that he was taken advantage of, how did he grow up in such an environment as the palace. It suddenly occurred to me that he was the one who was poisoned in the first place, no wonder he was poisoned, and he didn't have any sense of prevention.
"You, it's you who bullied my eighth sister, right?" The Sixth Prince pointed to my nose.
"See the Six Princes."
"This prince asked you, did you bully my eighth sister?"
"What the six princes said, the ministers don't understand."
"What don't you understand, did you bully my eighth sister in the lakeside pavilion yesterday?"
"Sixth prince, your subordinates can't afford this! How dare your subordinates bully the eighth princess! ”
"Hmph, you still don't admit it, my eighth sister said that you bullied her, then you are bullying her."
"The six princes, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add."
"Then you admit to bullying my eighth sister!"
"Six princes, don't listen to one side of everything, don't just look at the surface." I leaned closer to the Sixth Prince and whispered.
The Sixth Prince looked at me with a frown and took two steps back. I continued: "Sixth Prince, in fact, the fifth princess was also present that day, why don't you go and ask her to decide if you want to stand up for the eighth princess!" ”
"Sixth brother, don't listen to her nonsense here." The eighth princess said in a panic.
"Eighth princess, I didn't say anything, if you have a clear conscience, why be afraid!" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Who, who's afraid." The eighth princess pretended to be calm and said.
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at the two of them, the sixth prince stood in place, thinking about what I had just said, and the eighth princess stood next to the sixth prince, the silk scarf in her hand was about to be torn. Soon the sixth prince turned around and left quickly, while the eighth princess chased after him, "Sixth brother, sixth brother, didn't you say that you wanted to help me teach her a lesson?" How to go. He didn't forget to glare back at me as he spoke.
I didn't care if she stared at me or not, I left the palace, returned to the post station, had lunch with Xu Zijie briefly, and then went to Ning Mansion. I went to them during the day today, firstly, to set up information from them, and secondly, to prevent them from concealing anything, and taking advantage of the fact that everyone was in the mourning hall, I had the opportunity to go to the study and bedroom to look for clues.
As soon as I stepped into Ningfu, someone shouted, "There is a guest." "I followed the people all the way to the mourning hall, bowed three times to the deceased, put on a stick of incense, and after the family thanked them, I asked Xu Zijie to talk to them, and I took the opportunity to sneak into the backyard. Based on last night's observations, the study is at the right rear of the backyard, while the bedroom is at the left rear. I went into the study first, and quickly rummaged through the desk and bookshelves, but I didn't find anything that could be done, not even a single mechanism. It's so strange, this study is too clean! I didn't have time to think, so I immediately left the study and went to the bedroom, the dresser, the wardrobe, and the bed were nothing, strange, strange, so strange. With doubts, Xu Zijie and I reconciled, and told him about the process and doubts of my search, just when we were about to say goodbye, I found a woman, although she was wearing sackcloth, but her makeup was gorgeous, although she did not smile, but her eyes betrayed her, there was no trace of sadness in her eyes, and there was even a trace of pride.
I asked who the woman was, and I learned that this was Ning Zhiyuan, the wife whom the deceased later married. The deceased's original partner died as early as 8 years ago, this woman was married 5 years ago, I heard that this woman was a widow, but somehow, Master Ning had to marry her, and his son and daughter couldn't persuade her.
It seems that this woman has some means, does that mean that Master Ning's death may be related to her. I signaled that Xu Zijie was suspicious, and he understood what I meant, so he took the initiative to talk to his wife, and I followed.
"Mrs. Ning, mourn, don't be too sad, pay attention to your body." Xu Zijie took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you, I have a heart." Mrs. Ning pretended to wipe her tears.
I suddenly said, "Alas, Madame is still so young, won't she have to be a widow in the future?" ”
There is no sadness and helplessness in Mrs. Ning's eyes, but a kind of contempt, it seems that she has a trick, she must not be simple when she marries into Ningfu.
"The master is very good to me, and he is willing to guard him for the rest of his life." Mrs. Ning pretended to be affectionate and said.
"Master Ning, he is a good person, and he also took care of my father before his death." Xu Zijie said.
"Yes, sir, he is a good person, and when he was still in officialdom, he often took care of some siblings."
"Mrs. Ning, let me gossip a little, how did you and Master Ning know and fall in love? Master Ning is a lot older than Madame! I looked at her as I pretended to gossip.
"Uh." Mrs. Ning was slightly stunned, she probably didn't expect that I would ask this question at this time! But she didn't think much of it, just thought it was a child's curiosity.
"Mrs. Ning, shouldn't I ask this question now!" I asked, feigning embarrassment.
"No, it's not much, since you want to know, I'll tell you about it! The first time I met my lord was on the street in the north of the city, when I was not feeling well, walking staggeringly, and when I was about to be hit by a carriage, it was the lord who pulled me aside and saved me. At that time, I was attracted by the heroic figure of the old man and fell in love with him. But I am a widow, and although I love him, I can't show it. I have always been friends with the old man, but I didn't expect that one day, the old man told me that he also loved me, despite everyone's opposition to marry me, this is my and my master met and fell in love. Mrs. Ning said briefly.
"Oh, it turned out to be a hero saving beauty." I pretended to understand, but in fact, I was thinking in my heart that there was a bit of truth and a bit of falsehood in this sentence.
Mrs. Ning pretended to be shy, holding a silk silk to cover the corners of her mouth, I despised it in my heart, since she can be pampered by Master Ning like this, then she must know a lot of things about Master Ning, but she will definitely not say it. Just as I was thinking, a hair ornament caught my eye. Judging from Mrs. Ning's dress, this headdress looks incompatible with other headdresses, earrings and makeup, but it is worn on her head. Mrs. Ning's makeup and jewelry are carefully matched at first glance, and it is impossible to let such an unmatched headdress ruin her dress, so there is only one possibility that this headdress is suspicious.
This headdress is a beaded flower on the surface, the style is not novel, and the material is not very expensive, although I know that this headdress is suspicious, but I don't know what it is used for, where is it used? It seems that this young lady Ning will have to be closely monitored.
After thinking about it, he motioned for Xu Zijie to return to the post station. After I went back, I told Xu Zijie my thoughts, and after discussing it, it was decided that he and I would take turns to go to Ningfu every night to monitor the movements of this Mrs. Ning, and he would go first tonight, and I would go again tomorrow night. I couldn't sleep at night, wondering if I had forgotten something. But I can't remember what I forgot about it? Alas, how is it that my memory in this life is the same as in my previous life, and I am a little forgetful!
Early the next morning, Xu Zijie had just come back, and I saw that he hadn't slept all night, so I asked him to rest first, and if there was anything, I would talk about it when I came back from the palace. Today's one of my qiē in the palace is quite smooth, those princes and princesses didn't come to me to trouble, maybe this sixth prince has opened up, hey, whatever! Just don't bother me, I don't have time to greet them. When I passed by a palace, I found that there was a eunuch and a palace maid bullying a person, and if you look closely, isn't this the first time you take me into the palace!
"What do you see, I said what's wrong with you, I don't just want to talk about you, I'm going to beat you!" The palace maid said arrogantly. The father-in-law beside him also echoed and said, "Xiaojuan is right, people like you just owe it to clean up." ”
I saw Xiao Xizi looking at them with a swallowed voice, and she didn't resist, and let them beat herself. I wanted to turn around and leave, but I retreated. Alas, forget about helping others to the end, no matter how you say it, it's good to have your own eyeliner in the palace.
"Stop." I shouted.
The palace maid and the eunuch were startled, thinking that it was a little master, but after finding out that I was not, they said arrogantly: "Where is the girl, go and go, go and go, don't be nosy, be careful and wait for you to clean up." ”
"Oh, yes! If you want to clean me up, you have to weigh how many taels you have, and don't lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. "My voice wasn't loud, but the momentum made them stop.
"You ......" the palace maid was about to say something, but the eunuch stopped her.
"I don't know, who are you?" The eunuch took the initiative to ask.
"I'm just a little storyteller." As he spoke, he looked at the eunuch and the palace maid.
It was obvious that the palace maid wanted to have a seizure, but the eunuch stopped her again, and the eunuch still had some brains, and said: "It turned out to be Lord Wang, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I hope Lord Wang, you have a lot of them, don't blame." ”
This palace maid hurriedly said the same thing to me, I don't embarrass them today, the most important thing is to let them not embarrass Xiao Xizi in the future.
"Call me Lord Wang, I don't dare to be it, I am fortunate to be appreciated by the emperor, and I am given the official position of a royal storyteller, and I am also honored to serve the emperor."
"I wonder why Lord Wang came here?" The eunuch asked.
"I just finished reading to the Queen Mother and all the mothers, and I was about to leave the palace, no, I bumped into this scene."
"Oh, it turns out that the adults want to get out of the palace, and the minions can lead the way for you, just now the minions were joking!" As he spoke, he threatened Kiko with his eyes.
"Yes, my lord, the minions were just joking." Kiko said.
"Oh, really?" I stared at them for a while before I slowly spoke: "Little Xizi, it's been quite a long time since I last saw you, and I'm bothering you today, leading the way for me!" ”
"Lord Wang doesn't dare to be it, a slave should do it."
When the eunuch and the palace maid next to me saw it, I made my attitude clear, and I didn't dare to say much, so I let Xiao Xizi lead the way for me and left the palace.
"Why didn't you tell the truth just now, so that I can stand up for you, and they won't dare to bully you in the future!" I asked, pretending to be confused, and I did it on purpose to see if he could do my eyeliner in the future.
