Volume 3 Life History Chapter 17 The Past That Has Been Hidden for Many Years
Bei Juese glanced at the jade pendant a few times, put it lightly on the table, and then went to check the other things in the box.
Under the jade pendant was a brocade cloth embroidered with goose patterns and plum blossoms, and after shaking the cloth away, it turned out to be half a broken sleeve. Bei Juese raised it and looked at it, asking, "This was also taken from the corpse?" ”
Dong Wushu nodded and said, "In order to have more items to confirm your identity in the future, Master planned to take off the corpse's clothes at that time, but later he thought that this was too rude to a woman, and the clothes were soaked with blood, so in the end he only cut off half of the sleeve that was not stained with too much blood." ”
Bei Juese put down the half of the broken sleeve and continued to look through the contents of the box, only to find that there was only a small cloth bag left in the box. He opened the cloth bag, and when he saw the contents inside, he couldn't help but scream: "Red cotton jade pendant?!" ”
Dong Wushu was surprised and asked, "Do you know such a thing?" ”
Bei Juese picked up the jade pendant and put it in the palm of his hand, and said: "When I was in the palace, Concubine Yun once gave me a similar jade pendant, and she also said that this red cotton jade pendant was originally a pair, and later the prince at that time gave the pair of jade pendants to two people, one to Concubine Yun, and the other to the prince's new wife, Lord Yuehua. Bei Jue looked up at the East Invincible, and more doubts came to his heart, "Senior brother, why did this jade pendant appear here?" ”
Dong Wushu said: "The process of getting this jade pendant is the strangest. That day, when the master found the jade ornament from the corpse and cut off half of the sleeve of his coat and was about to take you away, the fist of the corpse, which had been stiffened for a long time, suddenly let go and fell out of the jade pendant. ”
Bei Juese looked at the jade pendant in his palm, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then, in the end, do you know the identity of the corpse?" ”
Dong Wushu said: "Yes." After the Nine Heavens Xuan Ice in your body is suppressed by the Doctor Immortal, Master is going to take you back to the place where you were found, to see if you can find your relatives. However, on the way to the place of the incident, we found out that the person who died in the woods was the lord of Yuehua County who had rushed back to her mother's house from Nanmian Country and the entourage who escorted her; After many inquiries by the master, it was basically confirmed that your biological mother was the lord of Yuehua, so the master planned to send you to the maiden home of the lord of Yuehua, but before he arrived in Kaifeng, he heard that the king of Pingjun died of illness and the princess of Pingjun committed suicide. The people involved are all dead, and in the absence of being able to hand you over to anyone, Master has made a decision to take you to Nanmian Country to find your biological father, the crown prince of Nanmian Kingdom. ”
Bei Juese asked anxiously: "Then, did Master go to Nanmian Country later?" ”
Dong Wushu said: "Go." After Master sent me back to the mountains, he immediately packed up and took you to Nanmian Country. However, after half a year, Master brought you back again. According to Master, a few days after he arrived in Nanmian Kingdom, he was trying to find a way to meet the prince of Nanmian when he came across the annual grand event of the Nanmian royal family's parade. In that long procession, the master saw the prince of Nanmian Kingdom, and even saw a beautiful girl sitting next to him beside him, the two behaved intimately, and the relationship looked unusual. After inquiring with the locals, the master learned that the girl turned out to be the eldest daughter of the leader of the Yun family, the most prestigious family of witch doctors in the Nanmian Kingdom. When the Lord of Yuehua returned to her mother's house, she was one of the entourage and the only one who survived the massacre. Master even found out that the Yun family in Nanmian was good at refining all kinds of pills, especially poisons. When Master learned of this information, he decided not to hand you over to the crown prince of Nammian. ”
Bei Juese asked a little puzzled: "Why?" ”
Dong Wushu looked directly into his eyes and said: "You were born with a strange poison, and the girl who followed the Yuehua County Lord on the road and survived was a member of the witch doctor clan, and this person sat down beside the Nanmian Prince in a grand manner shortly after the death of the Yuehua County Lord, and did not shy away from making intimate actions in front of the public, don't you think there is anything suspicious in this?" ”
Bei Juese's face changed, and he said, "Could it be that everything was made by the people of the Yun family?" What is the purpose of their doing this? ”
Dong Wushu shook his head and said, "I don't know if they did it." Master didn't investigate further back then, he just felt that if you were sent to the Nanmian Palace, who had managed to save your life, you might be poisoned again soon. In that case, why not let all the people involved know about your existence, so that you can live well in this world? So, Master brought you back with such an idea, and then made up a fake life story to deceive you. ”
Bei Juese was stunned for a while, and said, "Because of this, why did Master tell me not to have anything to do with the royal family before he died?" ”
"This is just one of the reasons. The biggest reason was that later the master accidentally learned that the surviving Yun girl had become the concubine of the Ming Emperor. ”
Bei Juese asked: "That concubine is Concubine Yun?" Concubine Yun seems to be just a person who has no quarrel with the world, not like a bad person. ”
Dong Wushu said: "You can't look at people by appearance. Master said that he thought the Yun girl was very suspicious, and I also thought that Concubine Yun was very problematic. So many things have happened in the palace, from the fact that you were assassinated for no reason to me being wrongfully murdered, to you and the princess being caught and raped in bed, think about it seriously, this series of things appeared one by one in order to get rid of you. Someone wants to put you to death, and judging from this method, the person who wants to put you to death doesn't want you to die a happy death. If you are just not used to or jealous of you becoming a celebrity around the emperor and attack you, you will not use so many means to deal with you, after all, you are just a little eunuch with a low status, no matter how favored you are, you are just a eunuch, and those who are not used to you or jealous of you are at most people in the palace who are about the same status as you. However, the person who assassinated you that day had extremely high kung fu, and according to my observations during the days in the palace, none of the guards in the palace were as skilled as that. Just ask, can a person of similar status to you have so much money or ability to hire a first-class master to kill you? The biggest possibility is that there is a person in the palace who has a higher status than you and hates you to the core. Not long after you entered the palace, even if someone hates you, they will not hate you to the core; In this way, it will certainly not be a new hatred, but an old hatred that has accumulated for many years. ”
Bei Juese asked: "Senior brother, are you saying that Concubine Yun is the one who is most likely to want me to die?" ”
Dong Wushu said: "I don't know. The above is just my speculation, and there is no real evidence that she is the one who wants you to die; There is no evidence that she is a bad person. ”
