Chapter 189: Ruolan's Death
Sunlight filtered through the curtains into the dark room, shining on a corpse covered with a white cloth.
That's Chen's mother.
Siyu's eyes were empty, and in the dark and bottomless light, the extreme and heartbreaking huge sadness completely grabbed her.
The dust danced and swirled in the light, and seemed to fly happily, as if no amount of sorrow could affect them.
Siyu looked at the flying dust fixedly.
Her pale face, dark eyes, and long hair scattered like a waterfall were weakly resting on her round shoulders.
Her eyes were swollen from crying, and the teardrops had turned red.
She was crying blood.
Until now, she couldn't believe what was happening in front of her.
Just now, my mother caressed her face with her warm hands, which was so soft and warm.
Now, my mother's hands were cold and white, without half a minute of temperature.
Why?
She asked countless whys in the depths of her heart, why can't most of the capital accommodate their mother and daughter?
Why do you have to hunt her down until she dies before you are willing to give up?
I didn't get in anyone's way.
All along, he has been compromised, he has endured three points in everything, and never quarreled with others, how could he kill himself, even his mother.
She couldn't figure out this problem, so she simply shrank in the corner of the bed, didn't eat or drink, and kept guarding her mother's corpse, which made people feel very distressed to see.
"Siyu, why don't you eat a little, the days are still long, you can't exhaust yourself!"
Xiaolu persuaded softly, but Siyu didn't seem to hear it.
Yoon-sik was on the side, and he was already crying into a tearful person, trying his best to endure his emotions, not wanting to make his sister even more sad.
Miaoyu and Miaoli on the side were holding the porridge that had been heated several times, hoping that Siyu would be able to eat a few bites.
If he really wants to consume it like this, I'm afraid that it won't take long for his whole person to be consumed!
A huge sadness enveloped Siyu's heart, and a huge confusion plagued Siyu, like a big net that bound her firmly, and it was difficult to break free.
Her mother's words echoed in her ears over and over again, and the past also surfaced in her heart one by one.
The assassination of Chen's mother finally alarmed the prince and shook the entire capital, and no one thought that anyone would have trouble getting along with the mother of a concubine.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, the prince came.
However, the arrival of the crown prince did not affect Siyu Siyu's expression, which made him feel extremely heartbroken.
Seeing her appearance, he was angry, and sternly ordered to go down, and let Jinyiwei search the murderer throughout the whole process.
He softly persuaded Siyu: "Yu'er, people can't be resurrected after death, you better let your mother go, if you are like this, she definitely doesn't want to see it!" ”
"Why?"
Siyu asked Prince Meng a question in an almost hoarse voice, which made the prince stunned: "What, why?" ”
"The concubines just want to ask you, why can't they tolerate our mother and daughter?"
Faced with Siyu's questioning, the prince felt speechless and didn't know how to answer her question.
After a long time, he said to Siyu: "Don't worry, your mother's revenge, this palace will definitely avenge you, and the murderer can't escape from the capital!" ”
Siyu didn't react at all when he heard this, and the prince felt that her appearance really made him feel distressed.
This time, he specially brought a few mothers-in-law and a few maids from the palace to help Siyu take care of Chen's mother's funeral.
The mourning hall was quickly erected, and all the places in the house were hung with white veils, and Siyu watched in a daze as these people were busy before and after.
Xiaolu, Miaoyu, Miaoli, Yunzhi and a few mothers-in-law softly persuaded Na Siyu not to be so stubborn anymore, and to put away Chen's mother's body.
Siyu refused to hold Chen's hand all the time, and was reluctant to let go until Imperial Doctor Hua walked up to her.
He sighed softly: "Do you know that you are not good to your mother like this, you can't be so selfish!" ”
Siyu was stunned when she heard his words, and looked at Imperial Doctor Hua with puzzled eyes, not understanding why he said this.
Doctor Hua then explained to her: "The deceased should go to Elysium as soon as possible, you make it difficult for your mother to let go like this, which makes the living uneasy, and the dead are also sad, you should let go, don't let her be so uncomfortable." ”
When Siyu heard this, she slowly let go of her mother's hand, and Imperial Doctor Hua hurriedly instructed the palace maid to quickly collect Chen's mother's body.
……
The palace of the king of Qin has become a mess, and the arrests, officials, and brocade guards in the capital are all dispatched to search door to door.
Guo Yun heard the chickens and dogs beating all over the street in the house, and his heart was beating, and he couldn't help but want to go out to watch it several times, but he couldn't help it, he didn't dare.
The dead men he sent out wanted to be sent out of the city, but when they saw that the gates of the city were closed, and the people from outside could not enter, and the people from the city could not get out.
This made him anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't live in fear.
He went to Xiaoyao Tower several times to look for Zuo Mingzhu, but he couldn't even see a figure, let alone Zuo Mingzhu, and even Huo Qiaoqiao avoided him.
He had the heart to go to the Shen Mansion to find it, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was extremely inappropriate.
There was no way, so he had to close the door and thank the guests, and strictly ordered the dead soldiers who participated in the operation to stay in the secret room, not allowed to go out, and three meals a day were delivered by someone.
He couldn't help but scolded them in annoyance: "You people who are wasteful, you didn't kill the people who should be killed, and you took such a big risk in vain, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
These big men were also very annoyed, but seeing that the master was so blamed, it was indeed disadvantageous for them to do things themselves.
At this moment, someone was slamming on the door, so frightened that Guoyun's heart was frightened, and he didn't know what to do, so at this moment, the housekeeper came over to him in a panic and said, "Those brocade guards are knocking on the door!" ”
"What are you talking about?"
He felt like he had been hit on the head, and the loud roar made him uncontrollable.
"Why did Jin Yiwei come?"
The lord doesn't have to be panicked, they have all checked this street, even Xiaomeng is mutual, all the shops and inns they don't let go of nature, and they won't let go of it here.
Hearing what the housekeeper said, he was a little relieved, but in the face of the crazy slamming of the door, he was blind and at a loss, and he didn't know whether to open it or not.
"Open the door, open the door, is there a pant inside?"
The unusually rude shout of the brocade guard in the lead made his heart beat more and more, and he didn't know how to deal with himself.
At this moment, the housekeeper came to him and said to him in a deep voice: "Childe, we must open this door, and you can't be so flustered, once they see the clues, our Guo family will be finished." ”
He understood that what the butler said was very reasonable, and after carefully stabilizing his mind, he nodded to the butler.
At this time, the gate was about to be smashed by these brocade guards, and the chief butler hurriedly shouted: "Come, come, come!" ”
As soon as the door opened, the leader of Zuo Qianhu, gave the butler a slap in the face, and he turned around three times on the spot.
"Why are you so deaf, why did it take half a day to open the door?"
Although the housekeeper was slapped in the face and was extremely angry in his heart, he understood that these brocade guards in front of him did not dare to offend, and he still had a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what's the matter?"
When he said this, he stuffed five taels of silver into the left thousand households.
Zuo Qianhu didn't need to look at it at all, just checked it with his hand a little, and he understood that the silver was not small.
Immediately, his face softened, and he said with a smile: "Is Master Guo in the house?" We just come in and ask a few things and leave, without bothering! ”
The housekeeper hurriedly let in, although he was very angry in his heart, but his tone slowed down as much as possible and said to Zuo Qianhu: "Master Guo is waiting for you in the house, he was sleeping, and he just heard the sound of slamming the door!" ”
This reason is very far-fetched, but Zuo Qianhu didn't go to his heart, and still broke inside.
At this time, the fat Guoyun, with a sideways face and disdain in his eyes, stood in front of Zuo Qianhu.
Although Guo Yun was very flustered in his heart, he pretended to be extremely indifferent on his face.
Zuo Qianhu knew that this person was a tyrant in the capital, and he had a deep background, Concubine Guo was his sister, and their Guo family was also very wealthy.
There are countless industries in the capital, most of the pawnshops belong to the Guo family, and in addition, the biggest business of the Guo family is the sale of horses.
Selling horses is simply a huge profit, wandering between the nomads and the hinterland, it just so happens that the Ming Dynasty is also very short of horses, it can be said that the status of the Guo family is also extremely prominent.
Although it is not as noble as those officials and princes, it is rich all over the world, and it controls the horses of the empire, such an important strategic resource.
Even Jin Yiwei had to let this go to fruition.
Zuo Qianhu naturally hurriedly went up to salute, which was very polite, and he arched his hand and said in a slow tone: "Siyu, the favorite concubine of the prince in the capital, his mother was assassinated, and a few of our brothers have no choice but to go all the way?" The search and arrest almost turned the capital upside down, and there was no result in Chaotian, this is also the fate of the top, and we have to do it! ”
"Then what do you mean by coming to my house?"
"It's just a search or two, go through a formality, it won't take you how long it will take you?"
When Guoyun heard her say this, a pounding heart slowly put it down.
He knew that the dead were hidden in the ice cellar, and that the ice cellar was underground, and the place was so hidden that it should not be discovered.
And this Zuo Qianhu is just walking around in the courtyard, walking back and forth, thinking of this, he nodded and agreed: "Then please ask Lord Zuo Qianhu to search." ”
Zuo Qianhu took more than a dozen Jinyi guards under his command into the front and back yards of Guofu, but he went through a rough process, and did not search seriously, and even ended hastily without even going to some places.
In fact, in Zuo Qianhu's opinion, Siyu originally had a grudge against his cousin, and he was very happy about Siyu's mother, thinking that he didn't know which righteous man helped me kill this person.
Just as he was about to leave, a shout suddenly came from the depths of the courtyard.
