Chapter 122: The Jade Seal Case (6) Ambergris
"Where's your girl's spices? This is an important clue. β
"Spices?" Huan'er hesitated, looked at Liansheng and asked, "Your Excellency will give it back to me, right?" β
Liansheng held his forehead and didn't speak, just stared at her. Huan'er was seen by this gaze, and said in a whisper: "I don't mean anything else, I want to keep a thought, it's always a master and servant." My girls treat me very well. β
Liansheng decided from the little girl's words and expressions that she was a big ghost, but she was not an honest person, and she always wanted to play tricks.
Huan'er was stared at by Liansheng's uncomfortable gaze, so he turned around and rummaged between the boxes of red jade, and took out a brocade box, which contained two purses, one of which had an ethereal fragrance, refreshing people's hearts, and when it was opened, it was a small box with a label on it to make agarwood. The other purse was slightly fishy, and there was a faint sour smell when you sniffed it carefully, and inside was an enamel box, and when you lifted the lid, you saw a dusty thing. This is the legendary ambergris?
Liansheng didn't actually understand this, but thinking that it was a morbid discharge similar to a stone at the end of the sperm whale's large intestine or the beginning of the rectum, it must taste like this, so he buckled the lid and said, "I need to take this to someone for identification." I'll give it back to you after reading it. β
Huan'er wanted to say something, her mouth opened slightly, and Lian Sheng smiled: "What is there for your girl, no one knows better than you, you said that if I tell SΓΉ Mingyue about all these things, you must not get anything." β
"Your lord is a nobleman, why bother with slaves and maids like this." Huan'er hurriedly smiled.
"I don't want to worry about you, it's a ruby thing anyway. As long as you tell the truth, even if Mingyue comes to grab it, I can block her back. β
This ring has a lot of eyes and must be driven by interests.
Sure enough, Huan'er's eyes lit up: "What else do adults want to know?" The slave knows everything. β
"Where did Ruby go yesterday? With whom do you have an appointment? β
"The girl came back from Yanwang's Mansion and was ghostly, and the slave and maid were still wondering if they had broken through the selfishness of a nobleman. At noon the next day, someone suddenly came and said to pick up the girl from the house. The slave and maid wanted to follow, but the girl did not agree, and now I think that those people must be strange. β
"But the people of the Horse Mansion?"
"These slaves and maids have never seen them, but the leader has said something to the girl. The girl hurried away. β
Liansheng took the spices to see Yu Shizhao.
Yu Shizhao picked up the piece of ambergris. Throwing it into the incense burner casually, Liansheng reacted that it was too late to stop it. As the spices burned, a strange fragrance soon spread throughout the room. Yu Shizhao took a deep breath and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this is the new spice in the Last Moon Palace." Extremely precious. The mother was only divided among a few people. I remember that there was Princess Yongning, Princess Yan, and the Queen Mother. β
Princess Yongning's husband is Lin Yuma.
"Sure enough. The lover of the red jade is Lin Yuma, she should have gotten these spices from Lin Yuma, and she went to Yanwang's Mansion for fear of using this conspicuous collision with the nobles. Gardenia incense was used temporarily. β
"Lin Pony? That softie dares to find a lover outside? Princess Yongning is skilled in swords and horses, he is not afraid of being beaten? Yu Shizhao chuckled, took down a box from the bookshelf casually, and threw it to Liansheng: "Oh, here you go." β
Liansheng opened the box, and inside was a large piece of ambergris, which weighed more than a catty.
"Give me this?"
"I'll throw that thing on the incense burner to see your grinning mouth, I look sour, let's play with this, it's not bad to smoke mosquitoes."
I'm dizzy, smoke mosquitoes with ambergris!
"His Royal Highness is always good at saying good things that are hard to hear."
"Those who know me are also born in Liansheng." Yu Shizhao raised his eyebrows proudly, and his fingers lightly tapped the book case: "Do you suspect Lin Yuma of murder?" β
"I wondered who I had collided with, what had happened to kill three women with gardenias. Killing three people at once, and these three are still very famous women, the price is too great. The privacy of the average wealthy family is obviously not so fanfare. "Intuition told SΓΉ Liansheng that the deaths of these three people were done by a group of people.
Yu Shizhao was silent for a while when he heard this. nodded: "Your senses are very keen, this is not an ordinary murder case, you can kill three famous prostitutes in the capital with such a big effort, if it is a murder, that incident must be extraordinary." One of the biggest things at the moment is ......"
He stopped here, and the two of them tacitly knew at the moment that the biggest thing in the palace at present was the disappearance of the queen's seal.
After the death of the White Queen, only one daughter was left Princess Yongning, because there has been no queen, Wang Guifei has always been in charge of the Empress Yin to manage the affairs of the six palaces, the queen's jade seal is received by the emperor, and the palm seal eunuch is sent to manage, this jade seal has not been used for more than ten years. Last month, on a whim, Wang Guifei made a fuss that the emperor had to see what the queen's jade seal looked like, and the emperor passed the palm seal eunuch to take the jade seal, and it turned out that the queen's jade seal was missing!
Three days ago, the palm print eunuch also sorted out the imperial study and confirmed that the jade seal was still there, and in just three days, the box was empty.
The palm print eunuch and many people in front of the emperor were sent to the Shen Penal Division, and finally it was found that someone had spent money to buy the little eunuch to enter the palace, and that person said that it was the Jiangnan Bai family and wanted to remember the relics of the White Queen. The emperor was furious, but this matter could only be investigated secretly, because the jade seal was lost in the palace, it was too embarrassing to spread the news, and it would make enemies for Wang Guifei, everyone knew that Wang Guifei was only one step away from the back position, maybe she sent someone to take the jade seal herself. So Yu Shizhao sent Qianer to the Bai family in Jiangnan secretly, but he didn't expect to encounter the Bai family being destroyed as soon as he arrived at the Bai family. This also triggered another round of attacks by the government and the opposition on Wang Guifei's mother and son, and Qianer had to sneak to Jiangnan again to find out the whereabouts of the jade seal.
Liansheng and Yu Shizhao decided that someone in the Yan Wangfu must be discussing a very important matter that day, and this matter was broken and killed.
With Yu Shizhao's help, Liansheng quickly got the list of people who attended the banquet that day. Princess Yongning, Lin Juma, Prince of Qin, Prince Xu Qi of Cao Guo and others were impressive, and at the same time, there was no Wang family on this list. It seems that the relationship between these clan nobles and the Wang family is no longer too lazy to be perfunctory in terms of face.
"Why did the concubine give ambergris to Princess Yongning, and did they have a good relationship?"
Liansheng felt that judging from the list, the relationship between Princess Yongning and the Wang family would not be much better.
"Niangniang can't help it, Princess Yongning is the queen's only daughter after all, and she has to share everything good. But ......" Yu Shizhao smiled wickedly at the corner of his mouth, "If she knew that Lin Yuma gave ambergris to his little lover, I think her expression must be very exciting, haha." β
There are people in the court who are good officials, but in an hour, Jinyiwei has already presented the complete background information of Hongyu. It turned out that she had a marriage contract with Lin Juma back then, and later lived in Mingyue Pavilion, and Lin Juma once sent someone to take care of her. It can be determined that Hongyu is Lin Pony's lover.
Princess Yongning, Lin Juma, King Yan, and Prince Qin, none of these characters can be investigated by Liansheng one by one, and the only way is for Yu Shizhao to come forward, invite them to the British Palace, and then inquire one by one.
"You say, should Princess Yongning know about this matter? I really can't wait. The smell of ambergris made people feel very relaxed, and Yu Shizhao couldn't help but put his legs on the bookcase: "What a pleasing thing to see people you don't like unhappy, and to see people you like happy." β
When Liansheng said this, Liansheng pretended not to understand, and clenched his fists and said, "Then please Your Highness." β
"Hey, don't you give me some sweetness?"
Liansheng opened the door and ran out: "Your Highness, this is a family of brothers and sisters to promote family affection, and they are happy, what else do you want, it's really stingy." (To be continued......)
