Chapter 523: The Origin of the Bracelet
Things soon became clear.
Wanxiu lost her position and was sent to the Huanyi Bureau, the newcomer was inevitably subjected to some difficulties, in this case, she accidentally washed the clothes sent by the nobles, and was scolded by the steward, and the dinner disappeared, and when it was found, the person had already died in the Changchun Palace.
Whatever the cause of Wanxiu's death, the place where she died was too strange.
Since the death of Concubine Hua, Changchun Palace has been empty, leaving only the palace people who are sprinkled and guarded. Such a palace is often avoided by other palace people, how could she go there with a good look?
Cheng Wei faintly felt strange, and took advantage of the opportunity to ask the queen mother and queen in the evening, and deliberately detoured through Changchun Palace on the return trip.
She stood in the doorway and looked in.
The once flowery palace, only a few months later, it was a bleak and decadent place, and there was no trace of fireworks.
After greeting the gatekeepers, Cheng Wei raised his feet and walked inside.
After a summer and winter, the grass and trees in the garden withered and turned to a depressed yellow, and the burned oleanders left large patches of black and desolate.
Cheng Wei couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on his arm.
"Crown princess, it seems to be colder here than in the side, be careful of catching a cold, the maid should help you go back." Thrush mentions yƬ said.
Cheng Wei looked at the thrush: "Do you also think it's colder here than the other place?" ā
The thrush nodded.
"Huan Yan, what about you?"
"It's very cold, and when you come in, it's eerie and uncomfortable." Huan Yan rubbed his arms.
Cheng Wei looked in the direction of the concubine's bedroom, thoughtful.
It seems that her feeling is not wrong, this place is better than the yin qi next to her.
Since studying the book ban subject with Qingling Zhenren, Cheng Wei has somewhat studied this aspect, and as soon as he walked into the gate of Changchun Palace, he immediately noticed the clues.
According to the book ban department, the yin qi in this Changchun Palace is so strong, it is very likely that there are resentful souls.
Is it because Wanxiu died here?
Cheng Wei quickly dismissed this speculation.
This kind of yin qi is not something that Wanxiu, who has only been dead for a few days, can cause.
Could it be - is it a gorgeous concubine?
Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Wei's heart tightened, he raised his hand to draw talismans in the air, and stopped halfway through the drawing.
She had only made the Peiyuan talisman, and her essence and blood were damaged, and she was already powerless for the more energy-consuming book forbidden talisman.
"The crown princess?" Seeing that Cheng Wei had been staring at the palace of Concubine Huagui, the thrush felt a little hairy in his heart, and shouted hard.
Cheng Wei retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Let's go." ā
Women have a heavy yin qi, and the harem is almost all women, you can imagine what kind of environment it is, but with the suppression of the dragon qi of the son of heaven, there is generally no big problem.
The ghost of Hua Guifei is not gone?
Cheng Wei sneered.
Such a person, who died like that at the beginning, had already picked up a big bargain, didn't he still feel aggrieved and unwilling to return?
She strode back to the East Palace, where Cheng Che was already waiting in the warm orange light.
Cheng Wei's heart was gloomy like dew meeting the rising sun, and suddenly it dispersed, leaving only peace of mind and comfort.
"How did you get back?" Withdrawing the palace people, Cheng Che pulled Cheng Wei into his arms and asked.
"It's a little slower on the road."
Cheng Wei told Cheng Che about the situation he had inquired about from the Han family, and then asked him, "Has the second brother made any progress?" ā
Cheng Che smiled and nodded: "There is no big progress, but there are some clues." I sent someone to ask about the large and small silver buildings in the capital with the painting of the green snake bracelet, and finally asked about the possible origin of the bracelet in a shop called 'Treasure Workshop'. ā
Cheng Wei's eyes lit up: "What is the origin?" ā
"The master of the Treasure Workshop told me that this kind of bracelet is likely to come from Nanlan Kingdom."
"Nanlan?" Cheng Wei recalled.
She had seen in the book that the women of Nanlan Country had a respectful status and were good at using Gu, and it was a country with peculiar customs.
"How can my aunt have a bracelet from Nanlan Kingdom?"
"So I went and asked another person." Catching Cheng Wei's puzzled eyes, Cheng Che asked with a smile, "Who do you guess I asked?" ā
Cheng Wei pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized under Cheng Che's gentle smile: "Is it Miss Xu?" ā
The corners of Cheng Che's mouth twitched quickly, and seeing that Cheng Wei's face could not hide the pride in guessing correctly, he said helplessly: "I went to ask Miss Xu's father." ā
There is only one princess in this East Palace now, and there are already many ministers who are ready to move and want to stuff their beloved daughter in, unless he is not clear in his mind, he will run to see Miss Xu.
"Lingnan is adjacent to Nanlan Kingdom, Lord Xu has been in Lingnan for more than 20 years, if there is anyone in this capital who knows the Nanlan style best, it must be Lord Xu."
"Then what did Lord Xu say?"
Cheng Che's gaze fell on Cheng Weihao's wrist.
A small emerald snake is entrenched on it, and the pair of red eyes seem to be looking at him, strange and gorgeous, making people love and fear this bracelet.
"Lord Xu said that Nanlan women are good at raising Gu, and they also like to be accompanied by snakes, so bracelets of this shape are regarded as foreign objects in the capital, but they are one of the common ornaments in Nanlan, just like Daliang women like to wear butterflies and flower-shaped ornaments."
Cheng Che raised his hand as he said and nodded his red eyes: "Lord Xu also mentioned that this bracelet is likely to come from the Nanlan Palace." Because only the Nanlan royal family can wear green snake ornaments with red eyes. ā
Cheng Wei became more and more puzzled when he heard this: "Could it be that my aunt has still been in contact with the Nanlan royal family?" It's a bit of a bizarre. ā
Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also think that this possibility is very small, so I thought of another possibility." ā
He set his eyes in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and did not sell Guanzi: "I'm wondering, this green snake bracelet will be a tribute from the Nanlan Kingdom to Daliang." ā
Cheng Wei's eyes lit up: "Second brother, I think your guess is more reasonable, so what's next?" ā
Cheng Che spread his hands and showed a doting smile: "Next, I'll come back and report the situation to my daughter-in-law honestly." ā
Cheng Wei glanced at him: "At this time, you are still joking with me." ā
Cheng Che raised his hand and stroked Cheng Wei's back at once, his fingertips passed through, arousing a burst of numbness in his arms, but his voice was calm as usual: "The main thing is to check back and forth, and then check back to the palace." There are some things that I might as well ask my father tomorrow instead of investigating them in private. ā
Cheng Wei was a little worried: "If there is anything involved, what should my father blame you?" ā
Cheng Che smiled disappreciatively: "It happened more than ten years ago, even if there is any secret, I just asked, and my father should not blame it." ā
Well, I want to come to an emperor who can accept even the crown prince is broken sleeves, so he won't blame him for such a trivial matter, right?
The next day, in the imperial study.
Emperor Changqing held the green snake bracelet and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I remember, this is the bracelet that was paid tribute by the Nanlan Kingdom more than ten years ago, and there was originally a pair. It was summer, and wearing this bracelet on a person's wrist would make it cool and sweat-free, so I gave one of them to ...... Fahrenheit. ā
Speaking of this, Emperor Changqing looked unhappy. (To be continued.) )
