"Huh?" Du Yanwan looked at Zhai Yeqi suspiciously.

"The Ninth Princess...... After committing suicide, the emperor let a few palace maids close to the ninth princess accompany the burial, and those who are still alive may only be a few rough palace maids who are not very close to the ninth princess. Zhai Yeyan's words made Du Yanwan feel a chill in her back, she knew that the emperor of ancient times said that anyone had to obey, but it was too ruthless to let so many living people accompany the burial.

Zhai Yeqian and Du Yanwan asked in the palace for a long time, and finally found a palace maid who had been an errand boy by the side of the Ninth Princess before.

The palace maid is still a rough palace maid, doing rough work in Xin Zheku, and when Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian went, a burst of panic flashed on the palace maid's face. Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian noticed that the palace maid couldn't speak and was a mute.

Xu is Du Yanwan looks too much like the ninth princess, and the palace maid knelt down as soon as she saw Du Yanwan, looking terrified.

Du Yan comforted when he saw this: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost, I'm the ninth girl named by the emperor." "Many people know that Du Yanwan was named the ninth girl, and when she said this, the palace maid was still a little hesitant. Du Yanwan and Zhai Yewan exchanged glances with each other, Zhai Yewan pursed her lips, and Du Yanwan went to ask the palace maid.

But the palace maid was mute, and she didn't know anything about the Ninth Princess's suicide back then.

The inquiry was fruitless, and Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian had to leave disappointed.

The two traced around the palace, but found nothing, and now it seems that they can only start from the ecstasy and ask Imperial Doctor Wen's family if they know the time.

Thinking about it, the two of them left for Imperial Doctor Wen's house.

Imperial Physician Wen's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and Imperial Physician Wen is the most outstanding one of the Wen family's medical skills, and his period is also the most prosperous period for the Wen family, and the death of Imperial Physician Wen has brought great trauma to the Wen family.

Imperial Physician Wen left two sons, but the medical skills of the two sons were mediocre, one of them relied on the shadow of his ancestors and made an idle job in the Tai Hospital, but his medical skills were mediocre, and there has been no improvement in the past few years.

The other opened a medical clinic in the capital, because the medical skills were mediocre, the diagnosis was frighteningly expensive, and the business was also very bleak.

When Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqi went to the Wen family, everyone in the Wen family was surprised.

Zhai Yeqian is a popular person around the emperor, the emperor trusts him the most, there are many people in the capital who want to slap him, the Wen family naturally does not dare to slack off, and knows that now that Zhai Yeqian has received the emperor's order, the Wen family will not dare to slack off.

The head of the Wen family, that is, the eldest son of Imperial Physician Wen, came out to greet him with a smiling face, he exchanged a few words with Zhai Yeyan, and noticed Du Yanwan on the side, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

Du Yanwan knew that he might have mistaken himself for the Ninth Princess.

"This is the Ninth Girl."

"Exactly."

"The rumors are true." Wen Rulan sighed.

"Lord Wen, I came here today to ask you something." Zhai Yeqi spoke.

As soon as Wen Rulan heard it, he knew what Zhai Yeqian wanted to say, and he sighed, "Lord Zhai is here for the case of the Ninth Princess." ”

"Exactly."

"I already knew that there would be such a day...... Wen Rulan said, her thoughts gradually drifted away, as if she had thought of something far away, she took out a small box from her arms, Wen Rulan continued: "This is what my father left back then, and the answer you want may be in this box." ”

Zhai Yeqi took the box and checked it.

The box is small and delicate, and the whole body seems to be made of iron, but the box is not opened, and a key is required.

Sensing Zhai Yeqi's eyes, Wen Rulan took the initiative to say: "I don't know where the key to this box went, I have been trying to open this box for the past few years, but they all ended in failure." ”

Zhai Yeyan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he put the box in his sleeve, "Thank you, Lord Wen, for telling me." ”

"Lord Zhai is polite."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhai Yeqi asked Wen Rulan a few more words as if casually, but found nothing, before saying goodbye to Du Yanwan and leaving.

After leaving the Wen Mansion, Du Yanwan asked Zhai Yeqi: "What have you found?"

Zhai Yeqi shook his head gently.

Du Yanwan remembered the box that Zhai Yeqian put in his sleeve, so he said to Zhai Yewan: "Show me the box in your sleeve." ”

Zhai Yeyan took out the box and showed it to Du Yanwan according to his words. Du Yanwan carefully took the box, "This iron box is small and delicate, if you don't have a key, you can't open it at all, or you can try to melt it." ”

She muttered as she touched the box with her fingers.

"Lord Wen hasn't opened this box for several years, which means that this method will not work."

"I'll try something else." Du Yanwan plucked a hairpin from his head as he spoke, he learned some lock-picking skills back then, I don't know if it will come in handy now? Thinking about it, she inserted a thin piece into the keyhole and put her ear to the box to listen for the movement.

After perceiving Du Yanwan's series of movements, a trace of surprise flashed on Zhai Yewan's face, but he didn't disturb Du Yanwan.

Du Yanwan's expression was solemn, and the hairpin in her hand was turned back and forth several times, but she still didn't see her open the box.

A hint of frustration flashed across his face, "This box is so hard to open!" "I think it was just a blink of an eye for her to open the lock, but she opened the lock for so long, but she still hasn't opened it.

Zhai Yeqian had already expected such a situation, and was not too disappointed, "Let's go, let's see if we can find other clues." ”

Du Yanwan nodded, still holding the iron box in his hand, and kept thinking about how to open it. When Du Yanwan was thinking, Zhai Yeyan was also silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two of them were thinking about their own things, and their figures did not enter the crowd, and suddenly there was a riot in the crowd, and the people were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeyan were scattered by the people fleeing in all directions in the crowd.

"Lord Zhai!" The sudden change gave Du Yanwan an ominous premonition in her heart, she wanted to rush to Zhai Yewan's side, but the panicked crowd took Du Yanwan farther and farther away from Zhai Yeqi.

The body seemed to be pushed by someone, Du Yan couldn't control her body for a while and planted it in front, she fell to the ground, the hot pain in her wrist made her almost shed tears, but the panicked crowd still didn't mean to stop, Du Yan was almost stepped on by someone.

After Zhai Yewan saw Du Yanwan wrestling, he almost subconsciously went in the direction of Du Yanwan, and saw that Du Yanwan was almost trampled on, Zhai Yewan reached out without thinking about it, and pushed the person who was about to step on Du Yanwan's body away.

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhai Yeyan approached Du Yanwan with a cold face.

I don't know what's going on, but when I saw him, Du Yanwan felt very secure and shook her head at him.

The man's good-looking lips pursed gently, and his handsome face tensed slightly, as if he was unhappy about something. But what is it about him that he is not happy about? She didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

Du Yanwan thought about it for a long time and didn't think clearly where she had offended Zhai Yewan, but Zhai Yewan suddenly hugged Du Yanwan.

A hug that came unexpectedly made Du Yanwan scream, and subconsciously hooked Zhai Yewan's neck, Zhai Yeqian lowered her head and glanced at the frightened Du Yanwan, didn't say anything, hugged her toes and touched the ground, and left with light work.

Du Yanwan was very interested in this ancient light skill, but she was afraid that she would fall from the sky and fall to pieces, so she kept clinging to Zhai Yeqi's body.

The woman's fragrance came into the tip of Zhai Yewan's nose, and her soft body was tightly attached to him, making him suddenly feel a strange feeling in his heart, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Du Yanwan was caught off guard and thrown to the ground by Zhai Yeqi, naturally she fell directly, and the bones in her body were about to fall apart, Du Yanwan was angry, "Zhai Yeqi, you will die if you gently hold me and put me down?!" ”

Zhai Yewan pursed her lips and looked away without saying a word, and Du Yanwan got up from the ground while scolding.

"Is this person sick in the brain, hot and cold......" Du Yanwan muttered, patted the dust on his body, suddenly realized something, and his face changed, "Oops! ”

Zhai Yeqi looked at Du Yanwan and saw that Du Yanwan looked anxious, as if she was about to cry.

"That box is gone!"

Du Yanwan touched all over her body and didn't touch the box.

It must have fallen somewhere when I was wrestling just now!

"Let's go back and find it now!" Du Yanwan said, I want to go back and look for it again.

But he was stopped by Zhai Yeqi, "The box is definitely gone." ”

Du Yanwan also reacted to what Zhai Yewan meant, "You mean, the riot just now was deliberately done?" For the sake of the box just now. ”

Zhai Yeyan nodded, in fact, he didn't tell Du Yanwan that the other party had another purpose was to kill her, and the person's actions just now were obviously murderous......

"Then what should I do, the clue that I finally found is broken!" Du Yanwan felt extremely guilty at the moment, if it weren't for her, the clue would not have been broken.

Zhai Yeqian cared so much about the Ninth Princess, she must have wanted to find out the truth about the Ninth Princess's suicide back then, but now she has ruined it.

Zhai Yeqian will blame her, Du Yanwan couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhai Yeqian, but saw Zhai Yeyan's handsome face suddenly turned pale.

Du Yanwan gradually realized that something was wrong with Zhai Yewan, and suddenly found that the wounds on Zhai Yewan's arms and hands had been cracked, and blood was gurgling out of it.

His face turned pale suddenly, and Du Yanwan's voice trembled: "Your hurt ......"

After Du Yanwan's reminder, Zhai Yeqian noticed the wound on his hand that had been cracked, and he glanced at it indifferently and then withdrew his gaze, "It's okay." ”

"With so much blood shed, how can it be okay! Let's go see the doctor and let the doctor bandage it for you! Du Yanwan said and pulled Zhai Yeqi's arm.
