Chapter 138: Jade Pillow

The clues provided by Mama Fang Ting complicate the case. The most important thing now is to find out what happened in the Fuyang Hall back then? However, the palace people of Fuyang Hall were all executed, and the imperial doctor who connected the raw grandmother and the imperial doctor who came to diagnose Yao Gui's concubine did not escape the catastrophe, and the case seemed to have reached a deadlock again.

Yun Zheng listened to my narration and fell into deep thought. I couldn't bear the silence of the room, and said worriedly: "Yun Zheng, we don't have any clues now?" ”

Yun Zheng raised his eyes to look at me and smiled: "It's not temporary, it may not be all the time." When such a big thing happened back then, Fuyang Hall and Pinxian Hall would always leave some clues. ”

"Then we have to go to these two palaces to find clues?" My eyes lit up. Yun Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "The incident has happened for many years, and these two palaces have also changed hands many times, so I'm afraid that some clues have already been broken." ”

I nodded, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "By the way, we can go to Concubine Yao's house to check." "There is a rule in the palace that if a concubine dies in the palace, the family can enter the palace to take away the concubine's old belongings, and maybe they can find a clue from it.

"Not bad." Yun Zheng smiled approvingly.

Yao Guifei's father served as a Wupin Beijing official of the General Administration Department, after his daughter entered the palace, the Yao family was also beautiful for a while, but this glory came quickly and fell quickly, after the death of Yao Guifei, the Yao family gradually declined, these years the Yao family has fallen in the middle of the road, people withered, almost no one remembers that this family once had a beautiful daughter who was the favorite concubine of the emperor.

Yun Zheng and I came to visit, Yao Guifei's father was deceased, and now her younger brother Yao Xianhua is in charge. Yao Xianhua received us with trepidation, and when we saw him at first glance, Yun Zheng and I were shocked, according to Yao's younger brother, who was only in his thirties, but he looked like an old man in his fifties and sixties. The maids and servants in the house also had old faces and haggard expressions. I don't know why, from the moment I stepped into Yao's house, I had a strange feeling, and I felt very uncomfortable inexplicably. We explained Yao Xianhua's intentions, saying that the Queen Mother was a little familiar with Yao Concubine back then, and wanted to take some of Yao Concubine's old things to commend, Yao Xianhua immediately thanked Dade, patted us for a while, and then took us into a single courtyard.

Stepping into the courtyard, the strange feeling was even stronger, and it seemed to feel a dangerous aura. I couldn't help but tremble slightly, Yun Zheng held my hand, felt my nervousness, turned his head and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know." I looked around and didn't see anything wrong. The Iron Guard followed me, giving me a little peace of mind. Yao Xianhua opened a side room and said to us: "What is placed in this room is my sister's old things, please come in." ”

Yun Zheng led me in, as soon as I entered the door, my heart suddenly jumped wildly, and my neck suddenly felt a fever, I lowered my head in surprise, and found that the flame in the mouth of the black dragon jade was a little transparent, and gradually became hot. I pinched the black dragon jade strangely, why did this jade suddenly change like this?

This jade is a sacred object given to me by the Dark Flame, and last time I found that it has the function of helping to breathe, does it have other functions? But what is it that has caused such a change? The black dragon jade was getting hotter and hotter, and it actually made me feel a little burning pain in my skin, so I quickly pulled the red rope with my hand to let the jade hang in the air. I looked around the house, this room was no different from other rooms, Mr. Yao said that many of the furnishings in the house were used by Yao Guifei in the palace before, and after Yao Guifei died, they entered the palace and brought out her relics. My eyes fell on the bed, which was neatly tidied up, because no one was sleeping, and there was no futon on the bed, only a verdant, carved jade pillow. At the same time as I saw it, the feeling of danger suddenly rose, my hairs stood on end, and I suddenly felt that this thing must have a lot to do with the black dragon jade on my neck.

I walked to the bed, reached out and picked up the jade pillow, the black dragon jade hung back on my neck, and there was a burst of fire, I exhaled in pain, threw off the jade pillow, and took two steps back, Yun Zheng hurriedly supported me, with a surprised face: "Ye'er, what's wrong?" Are you not feeling well? ”

I pinched the black dragon jade, only to feel that the jade was getting hotter and hotter. This jade pillow must be strange, I tried to touch it again, and the black dragon jade burned again, like a flint stone falling on the neck. I took two steps back and turned my head to look at Yao Xianhua: "Mr. Yao, is this jade pillow also a relic of your concubine?" ”

"Yes, this jade pillow is my sister's favorite thing, and it is said that it is particularly cool to sleep on it in summer." Mr. Yao nodded. I looked at the jade pillow in confusion: "Where did you get this jade pillow?" ”

"This ......" Yao Xianhua thought about it carefully, "Oh, I remembered, this jade pillow was given to my father by Prime Minister Wei Cheng, who was still a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, saying that it can relieve the scorching summer heat, and my sister is most afraid of heat, so my father sent this jade pillow into the palace for my sister to use." ”

Celestial phase? Yun Zheng and I glanced at each other and immediately made a decision: "Mr. Yao, let's bring this jade pillow into the palace for the Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”

"No problem, no problem." Mr. Yao nodded again and again, stepped forward to pick up the jade pillow, and handed it to me with both hands. My neck was hot again, I took a step back and said to Yun Xun: "Yun Xun, you take it." ”

Walking out of the courtyard, that strange feeling followed me like a shadow, I thoughtfully glanced at the brocade box containing the jade pillow in Yun Xun's hand, it seems that all my strange feelings come from this thing. Yao Xianhua invited us to drink tea in the flower hall, but I didn't want to stay longer, seeing the disappointed expression on his face, I thought that after the fall of the Yao family, no dignitaries came to the door for many years. My heart moved, and I couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yao, the concubine has a presumptuous question, I don't know if to ask?" ”

"Mrs. Ronghua is polite, please speak." Yao Xianhua hurriedly said. I tried to pick a milder word: "Why does the gentleman have a haggard face when he is in the prime ......of life?"

Yao Xianhua heard me ask, with a trace of pain and helplessness on his face: "Don't hide it from Mrs., I don't know if my sister was too long, so that our Yao family was jealous, not only my sister's life is short, but after my sister's death, our Yao family not only declined, but the people in the house also inexplicably suffered from a strange disease of premature aging, these years, we have also found a lot of famous doctors across the country to diagnose the disease, but we can't find the cause, others say that our Yao family has been cursed by God, and even the people in the house can't escape the doom of premature aging." ”

I turned my head to look at Yun Zheng, and when I saw him frowning, I didn't know what I was thinking, so I turned my head and asked again: "This disease was only acquired by the people in the house after the death of Yao Guifei?" ”

"Not bad." Yao Xianhua nodded, "It wasn't obvious at first, but it has only become more and more aging in the past two years." ”

Could it be that the cause of Yao Guifei's death and the aging disease in Yao's mansion are related to this jade pillow? What is this? How is it like nuclear radiation after an atomic bomb? Could it be that the black dragon jade noticed the weirdness of this jade pillow and became hot to warn me? The black dragon jade is a divine object, and what it reminds me to pay attention to must be an evil thing!

After getting into the carriage, Yun Zheng asked me, "Ye'er, what did you find?" ”

I told Yun Zheng about the strange state of the jade, Yun Zheng listened, and asked Yun Xun to hand him the jade pillow, as soon as the jade pillow was taken into the carriage, the uncomfortable feeling came again, the black dragon jade on the neck began to move again, Yun Zheng's eyes flashed a trace of color, and I said softly: "Yun Zheng, do you see anything strange about this jade pillow?" ”

"This is not jade." Yun Zheng looked at the jade pillow, which was made of a whole stone, and the two sides were carved with delicate auspicious patterns of unicorns sending children. I was surprised, "Isn't it jade?" But this looks a lot like jade, isn't it made of jade? ”

"I don't know what it's made of, but it's definitely not jade." Yun Zheng looked at it for a long time and smiled slightly, "Although I can't see what it is, someone must know." ”

"Who?" I was amazed.

"Immersion." Yun Zheng said lightly, seeing that I had been pinching the rope of the black dragon jade, he handed the jade pillow out of the carriage and let Yun Xun collect it, and the hot heat of the black dragon jade stopped. Yun Zheng looked at me hanging down the black dragon jade, and said with a smile: "I have lost your treasure today, otherwise we may return empty-handed." ”

I smiled, "Who the hell is Shen Yan?" How do you know he must know what this thing is? ”

"Shen Shen...... Yun Zheng laughed, "He's the owner of a noodle stall." ”

"Yun Zheng......" I snorted in disgust. Yun Zheng chuckled and hugged me into his arms, and said softly: "However, the owner of this noodle stall, Bo Gu, knows a lot of strange things, and he will definitely gain something from looking for him." ”

Really? It turns out that Yi Shen is so knowledgeable? Yun Zheng instructed the carriage to go straight to Yi Shen's house, and I said curiously: "Huh? Aren't you going to a noodle stall that you know? ”

"He only sets up a stall at night, and he only sells 100 bowls of noodles a day, and when he sells out, he closes the stall, even if there are people waiting in a long line, he just asks them to be early tomorrow." Yun Zheng smiled, "It's daytime, so I can only go to his house to find him." ”

This is easy to understand and really a weirdo. The carriage drove into a secluded narrow street and stopped at the mouth of an alley, Yun Zheng helped me get out of the carriage, walked into the alley, stopped in front of a courtyard door, and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, Yi Shen saw us, invited us in with an indifferent face, served tea, and said lightly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Yun Zheng motioned for Yun Xun to put the brocade box on the table and opened the lid: "I want you to see, what is this jade pillow made of?" ”

Yi Shenyan's gaze fell on the jade pillow, his calm face suddenly became a little solemn, he took out the jade pillow, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, his brows gradually frowned: "Where did you get this thing?" ”

"Don't worry about it, just tell me what's wrong with this thing?" Yun Zheng said.

Yi Shenchen put the jade pillow back into the brocade box, and his face sank: "This is not a good thing, it is better to stay away from it." Then he looked at me: "Especially you, sister-in-law." ”

"Why?" I was amazed. The corners of his deep lips hooked slightly: "Sister-in-law is happy, isn't she?" ”

"How do you know?" My face flushed slightly. Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Shen Shen's medical skills are exquisite, and ordinary diseases do not need to diagnose the pulse, and the disease can be diagnosed just by looking at the complexion." ”

"Ah...... "I'm a little surprised, in that case, why didn't he open a medical center, but set up a noodle stall?" Shen Shen looked at the jade pillow in the brocade box, and said with a serious expression: "Pregnant women often come into contact with this thing, and it is easy to give birth to a malformed fetus, so it is best not to touch it." ”

"What?" Yun Zheng and I both exclaimed in surprise, and Yun Zheng reacted quickly and pulled me up, retreated to the corner, stared at the jade pillow in the brocade, and covered his face with a layer of frost. Yi Shenchen glanced at the two of us, and the corners of his lips rose slightly: "What do you do with such a big reaction, even if it has an impact on the fetus, it will take a while, and the contact for a while is still fine." ”

My heart is cold, often touching this jade pillow, will give birth to deformed children, could it be that this is the truth of the Fuyang Palace tragedy back then? Since ancient times, giving birth to deformed freaks has been considered to be an ominous demon, a sign of great calamity from heaven, no wonder the first emperor wanted to kill the palace people and the imperial doctors and midwives of the entire Fuyang Palace, so it was!
