Chapter 173: Why be afraid
"White ...... Bones!!? An Guifei pointed to the pile of white bones on the ground and grabbed Su Xiaran's arm tightly, her teeth couldn't stop moving, and her body couldn't help but tremble, how could there be so many white bones here? Compared with An Guifei, Su Xiaran seemed much calmer, because she had lived in a mass grave full of dead people for seven days, and what corpses had never been seen? That's not even a third of the mass graves.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a pile of bones, and there's no danger." Su Xiaran gently patted the back of Concubine An's hand and said softly.
"You're not afraid?" Seeing that Su Xiaran was so calm, Concubine An was full of doubts in her heart, she was a little girl who was only fourteen, and she was not afraid of this gloomy white bone?
That's not right! She's a little too bold, isn't she?
"I'm bolder." Su Xiaran glanced at An Guifei and casually stuffed a reason for An Guifei.
It's not that I'm not afraid, but I'm used to it, so why am I afraid?
"These should be the corpses of some palace people and concubines." Concubine An glanced at these white bones and said suddenly.
"Well, I think too, but who would kill so many concubines and palace people, and still do it without knowing it?" Oh, yes! Who can do that? Every day in this palace, the palace has to name the number of maids and maids in the palace, and then report it to the chief, and then the manager will hand it over to the upper level, even if it is a dead person, he must note what he died, these will be recorded, so the number of people here is not right, judging from the accessories next to him, it is obvious that the death is in a palace, and the death of a whole palace will not not attract attention, will not arouse suspicion, and will not not be recorded. However, when she looked through the booklet about the affairs of the palace, she did not find any booklet that recorded that one day, an entire palace of people was killed.
It's all so weird!
In the face of this scene, the only reasonable explanation is that it was the emperor's decree, or the emperor also wanted to let one person die, but he was afraid that someone would know his secret and kill the entire dormitory!
If that's the case, she's afraid she won't be able to stay in this palace for a minute!
"There is no such record in the historical records, it stands to reason that cases where more than ten people died will generally be recorded, especially the dead in the palace, which will definitely be recorded in it, but why do I see that there is no record of similar cases in the historical records." Concubine An also wondered in her heart, who is it? Who can kill the entire palace without knowing it, and the people who have not been counted in the historical records, is it the emperor? No! No, it won't! It won't be him!
"Me too, I've looked through many classical books, but I haven't mentioned any cases like this." Su Xiaran became more and more confused in her heart, she always felt that these white bones seemed to lead her to the truth in the dark, and this murderer was becoming more and more like the current emperor.
She has a hunch that as long as she clarifies the matter of this pile of white bones, the truth will come out, on the contrary, if she does not find out about the events related to the white bones back then, then she is very likely to fall into a dead end and never find the murderer!
"Xia Ran, Xia Ran?" An Guifei saw Su Xiaran, who was stunned, and called worriedly.
"It's okay, let's continue." Su Xiaran finally came back to her senses and glanced at An Guifei with some embarrassment.
"Well, Xia Ran, do you think it's weird here?" An Guifei looked around cautiously, she didn't dare to step forward and move, she hugged Su Xiaran's arm tightly, for fear that there would be something unclean here.
The white bones here all exude a faint and delicate fragrance, which is not like the smell of white bones at all.
And there are walls on all sides, so it's a bit difficult to say that it comes out of it, and after so long, the smell should have disappeared a long time ago, so how can it still be there?
"Something is wrong with these bones." Su Xiaran suddenly saw something and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"There are maggots on this white bone, and the degree of damage to this clothes doesn't look like a dead person from a few years ago." Su Xiaran squatted down close to the white bones and took a closer look, this accessory, this costume, is obviously the most popular style this year, but, how can this be that the corpse of a person quickly decomposes in a short period of time, and it is still decomposing to such an extent?
"Well, I think these people are more like they died of the plague!" At this time, Concubine An suddenly said a guess.
"The plague?" Su Xiaran was a little surprised.
"Well, half a year ago, there was a plague in the palace, and almost fifty or sixty people died, and the emperor ordered someone to cremate them, but I don't know if they were cremated later, anyway, since then the entire palace has become extremely careful, whether it is food, or people who enter the palace, or cats and dogs raised by palace concubines, they must be regularly checked." Concubine An changed her ways, and many people died in the one half a year ago, among which her favorite maidservant also died in that plague, so she still remembers that plague vividly.
"In this way, it is very likely that the corpse here is the one who died of the plague half a year ago." Su Xiaran suddenly realized, but what made their corpses decompose so quickly? And who put them here? Su Xiaran was puzzled.
It's just that he doesn't take his dad seriously!! Today, he must give her some color to see, so that she can know why the flowers are so red!
"My future husband." Su Xiaran didn't take Su Hai in his eyes at all, glanced at Su Hai coldly, and said lightly, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him saying this.
"You wicked girl! Dare to raise wild men in the house behind my back! Look how I teach you! After that, he was about to step forward and slap Su Xiaran in the face, at this time, Su Xiaran grabbed Su Hai's hand and said coldly: "Father, who I am with is my business, please don't interfere!" ”
"You! You! Su Hai was so angry that he said two of you in a row, pointing his finger at Su Xiaran, so angry that he didn't know what to say, only to see him cover his heart and try to calm his emotions: "You evil girl!" The words of the matchmaker of the parents! I'm in charge of your life's work! You! How can you take it upon yourself to find a random wild man outside?! ”
As soon as he heard the three words of the wild man, Ye Moqing half-squinted his eyes, and there were danger signals all over his body.
And as soon as Su Xiaran heard Su Hai scolding Ye Moqing for being a wild man, he was so angry that he scolded Su Hai on the spot: "Su Hai, you haven't taken care of me since I was a child, and I still don't need you to care when I grow up, if you dare to say that Ye Moqing is a wild man, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between father and daughter!" ”
Su Hai didn't seem to expect Su Xiaran to say this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he changed....... It's changed....... This Su Xiaran has completely changed! It's no longer under his control!
"Wicked girl! I am your father! Even if I don't care about you anymore, I'm still your father! This is an indisputable fact! Even if you're seventy or eighty, I'll have to take care of it! ”
"Huh! Father? A father who allowed others to frame me? A father who didn't dare to come forward when he saw his daughter being accused of murdering the queen? A father who has ignored me since childhood? The corners of Su Xiaran's mouth hooked up with a hint of ridicule, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.
God is really fair, he gave her a happy home in his last life, he gave her a home that made her feel cold in this life, he gave her a heart-wrenching love in his last life, and he gave her a sweet and happy love in this life.
Really....... You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and there are gains and losses.
"No matter what, I'm your father too! As my daughter, you have to take care of everything you do, and you have to get my consent to do whatever you want! Su Hai knew that he was at a loss, but he still looked unforgiving, there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and no one else saw it except Su Xiayan when he saw this ruthlessness.
Su Xiayan knew that Su Xiaran was afraid that there would be more than one bad luck today, because for Su Hai, useless chess pieces were a burden, and he would not let a burden eat and drink in vain by his side.
"Then you have to take care of me having a meal, getting dressed, and sleeping?" Su Xiaran refuted it on the spot, directly blocking Su Hai speechless, Su Hai opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
He was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he suddenly said, "Someone! Handful........ Take this evil girl down for me!! Take it for me!! ”
"Yes!" I saw that the guards stepped forward and were about to capture Su Xiaran, Ye Moqing made a move, only to see that his eyes sank, and his body was very fast, so that people couldn't see when he made his move, and in less than half a minute, those guards covered their hearts one by one and rolled on the ground in pain.
"Oops!" The ground wailed.
Su Hai saw the strength of Ye Moqing's martial arts, and his heart suddenly felt a little weak, but for the sake of face, he still endured the fear and uneasiness in his heart and said: "Xia Ran! What are you doing here? Is there anything you can't say? Why do you want to do it? Right? Su Hai pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
"Really? But I don't like to talk to people I hate, let alone talk well. Su Xiaran didn't eat Su Hai at all, her cold voice fell into Su Hai's heart, and a trace of viciousness quickly flashed in the depths of Su Hai's eyes, Su Xiaran, you can't stay!
This was the only thought that popped up in his head, and Su Xiaran couldn't keep it! Not only is it difficult for her to control it now, but there are such high-ranking people around her to help her, lest she suddenly know one day what she did to her before, it will hurt herself, not to mention, and it will be unfavorable to herself, he will never tolerate anything that is unfavorable to him or people to stay in this world!
"Xia Ran, I'm my father, I just taught you a few words, how can you speak to your husband like this?"
"I'm tired, please go back!" Su Xiaran didn't bird Su Hai at all, then yawned, and said lazily, she has been busy all day today, she is tired to death, where is there any experience to slowly accompany him to act, he has this idle time, she doesn't, she has to get up early tomorrow in the morning to enter the palace, and she hasn't eaten all day.
"......." Su Hai, who was ordered to be evicted, immediately darkened his face, although he was very angry, but in view of the fact that the man in front of him was too terrible, he had no choice but to stop it.
After Su Hai and his party left, Su Xiaran finally didn't have to act anymore, she fell directly into Ye Moqing's arms, groggy, and soon fell asleep.
Ye Moqing saw Su Xiaran like this, his eyes were full of distress, those were really annoying! knew that Xia Ran, who came to annoy him, his Xia Ran had lost a lot of weight recently, and he was also a lot haggard, it seemed that he needed to let them stop and stop recently.
Ye Moqing gently put Su Xiaran on the bed, looked at Su Xiaran's haggard appearance with distressed eyes, kissed her on the forehead in distress and came to the courtyard.
The moonlight is like silver, everywhere can not be reached, the bamboo fence on the mountain turned black under the moonlight, the insects in the grass around him were dense like rain, and occasionally from nowhere, suddenly there would be a grass warbler "falling and falling" and smacking at its throat, and soon, the little bird seemed to understand that he looked out through the screen window.
