85, sad grief
Grandma is dead?
Xin Yi shook his head, his ears were buzzing, the blood on his face faded little by little, motionless, silent as if he didn't even breathe, looking straight at the old lady, but he didn't look at her.
"Weiwei...... ...... slightly," the old lady called her in a trembling voice.
She wanted to stand up, but her legs didn't seem to be her own, she shook her hands and pressed the armrests of the chair hard, and when she was halfway up, her hands shook, and she fell to the ground with the chair.
"Girl." Jin Chun, who was standing behind her, hurriedly went up to help her.
"I'm fine, I'm fine! I am fine! Good! Xin Yi got up and stood straight, even when the old lady asked her to learn rules and etiquette, she had never stood so straight.
She raised her arm stiffly and touched her head, she went out today and wore a silk flower, and she couldn't use silk flowers at this time.
She dragged the silk flower in her hand, looked at the clothes on her body, and instructed Jinchun,
"You go and get me another set of clothes, the sooner the better, let people prepare the carriage, I will go out, and let people go to the fifth brother and talk to him."
Jin Chun had never gone through such a battle, and he was stunned at first for Xin Yi's series of commands, but in a blink of an eye, he choked up and rushed out all the way.
In the night, the dark clouds that could not be seen were rolling and there were several thunders, and the torrential rain poured down.
Before the sting passed, the spring thunder sounded.
"Grandmother, I want to use grandchildren and the like to take the last journey with my grandmother." Xin Yi's voice was ethereal.
"Okay." The old lady said firmly.
Mama Qing is not a member of the Xin family, and according to the rules of the Xin family, such a situation has never happened.
But so what!
The old lady knew in her heart that in this world, the closest person to her granddaughter was not her father and mother, not her grandmother, but the real master and servant of Weiyun, who brought her up since childhood.
She lowered her head and held the string of beads in her hand, feeling a strong, indescribable desolation in her heart.
This desolation is not because of Mama Qing's death, but because of the deep sadness and loneliness in her granddaughter.
Xin Yi didn't ask anyone to help, he scattered his hair and changed his clothes, "Grandmother, I want to go and see Grandma Qing at the end." β
The old lady replied, "Good." I'll send you a pair of guards. β
There was no mud and water, and there was no stopping her, saying that it was getting late, and she would go again tomorrow.
The guards she said were the private soldiers of the Zheng family, and they followed her to marry into the Xin family.
Xin Yi bent slightly, turned around and buried his head and walked out.
The carriage began to gallop after leaving the Xin family, into the night, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, Shangjing City for three consecutive days can not help curfew.
The riots caused by the lanterns spilling over and the water have subsided, and the vendors are back in business, and the lanterns are not to be seen, but there are many other things to have fun with.
There are not many fewer people on the street.
The coachman is very familiar with the terrain of the capital, and specially picks a place with few people to gallop, and encounters the obstruction of officers and soldiers along the way, the carriage does not need to stop, and the guards who follow will take out the token to drink back the officers and soldiers who block it.
When it came to Chaotianguan, it was already a child's time, Chaotianguan was brightly lit, and the Daotong at the door saw the carriage of the Xin family, and he didn't even inquire, and led directly to the front of the Lingxu Palace.
"Seventh girl, the national teacher has instructed you to go in directly when you come." The guide is young, but he talks and does things in a good way.
reminds Xin Yi of the old-fashioned Xin Yan.
Qing Mama knelt on the futon, still dressed in green clothes, when the door of the Lingxu Hall was opened, a gust of wind blew and rolled up the corners of her clothes.
If it weren't for the news that Mama had gone, Xin Yi wouldn't have believed it.
"Grandma." Xin Yi slowly walked to the front of Mama Qing, only to see her eyes closed, her face was innocent, and her expression was as peaceful as before.
"Grandma." Xin Yi screamed softly again, she reached out to hold Mama Qing's hand, it was cold, no longer warm.
The wind blowing in front of the main hall makes people feel cold in their hearts.
As if she had been pricked by a needle, she suddenly withdrew her hand, knelt on the ground, and stared blankly at Mama Qing, who seemed to have a smile on her face.
Yesterday, she said that she wanted to come to Chaotianguan with her grandmother to pack her luggage, and her grandmother said that she was not in a hurry at this time, and she would be by her side every day in the future.
Xin Yi looked intently at Mama Qing, who seemed to be smiling, raised her hand, grabbed a handful, and grabbed another handful...... Nothing.
Xin Yi didn't give up, and grabbed another handful.
"Slightly ......" Xiao Yuanyou broke in from the main hall outside, half-knelt beside Xin Yi, stretched out his hand, Xin Yi grabbed his hand, and then grabbed Xiao Yuanyou's sleeve on the net, grabbed it along the sleeve, pulled his arm, handed his head over, and leaned against his shoulder.
"Fifth Brother ......"
"Hmmm......"
"Let me rest for a while, just for a moment." Xin Yi's voice was extremely low, revealing endless tiredness and sadness.
Xiao Yuanyou didn't speak, trying to soften her body, making Xin Yi more comfortable, and gently caressing her hand on her back.
When Yan Wuming came in, all he saw was Xiao Yuanyou, who was motionless, and Xin Yi, who was leaning motionless on his side.
He waved his hand and quietly signaled the people behind him to step back, retreat to the outside of the main hall, and stood at the door of the hall, looking sadly at the sadness in front of him.
There was silence all around, and the sound of footsteps from far and near broke the silence of the world.
Xin Yi raised his head with some difficulty, kept lifting up, looked around, looked at the black-clothed guard behind Xiao Yuanyou, and then looked at Yan Wuming at the door,
"Lord Yan, please let people come in and take a look at Granny Qing, she ......"
She could see that Grandma was poisoned, when was she poisoned, and what kind of poison was there, she didn't know, Yan Wuming didn't look at it, she might be in charge of Silu Hall, and she was valued by the emperor, that is, she had real skills.
Of course, she can also ask the fifth brother to investigate this case, but the fifth brother is her fiancΓ©, and the grandmother and her are like relatives, whether it is human favor or the law, she will not let the fifth brother intervene, she can only ask Yan Wuming.
"Okay." Yan Wuming answered softly.
Xin Yi had been protected by Xiao Yuanyou, watching the people brought by Yan Wuming to check on Mama Qing's corpse, her ears were buzzing, and the feeling of being sent away by the master that night swept over the world, making her unbearable.
Yan Wuming brought a lot of people, and a thin bamboo pole-like old man with a goatee saluted Mama Qing very respectfully, and then solemnly checked it.
After a while, he took off his white cloth gloves, "The deceased has been gone for about five hours, the poison should have been divided into two times, the deceased was already poisoned around yesterday morning, and in the evening, adding some more doses can cause death." β
Chaotianguan had already done something to the Lingxu Hall, and placed many ice basins, and I didn't know if it was ordered by the national teacher, and no one moved Qing Mama.
It was only when Xin Yi came in that he saw her kneeling.
Xin Yi sat there stunned, and at this time, she finally realized that Grandma was dead, really dead.
She had read many descriptions of death in her books, and she had even experienced it, her master, and the parchment scroll said that she was dead.
However, there was no such intuitiveness as it is now, and everything was impacting her.
She used to be sure that when she followed the fifth brother to learn to solve the case and find her way back to Qingqiu, she would be able to meet her master and grandma.
After meeting Grandma, she also firmly believed that the master was just missing and not dead.
She also touched the temperature of Grandma's body yesterday, and saw a kind smile on her face.
Now, she understands what death is, death, that is, yesterday and laughing with it, to be with it every day, in the blink of an eye, only a cold body remains, from then on, yin and yang are separated, no more words, no one can see each other, no longer touch her temperature.
After being buried, this person will disappear forever in the world, the Buddha said that it is sitting, Taoism......
Xin Yi clearly felt an indescribable pain slowly devouring his heart, his eyes were dry, and his voice was dry.
"Can you find out what poison is there?"
"Weiwei." Yan Wuming saw such a Xin Yi, tears were about to come out, and he wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything, he just looked at the old man with a goatee.
Xin Yi blamed herself very much, if she hadn't wanted to go out to play and follow Grandma to Chaotianguan, would Grandma not have died at all?
A group of people hula outside the door came in, and in front of him was a national teacher dressed in white and his hair was scattered, his face was sad, and when he saw Xin Yi, he immediately said,
"I thought that the Seven Girls would come early tomorrow morning, so I didn't greet them in person, and I asked the Seven Girls to mourn and change, Ah Qing can be regarded as an early climb."
Xin Yi knelt there straight, slowly raised his head, and looked at the national teacher who came to the door to meet the light.
The national teacher's dark and lifeless eyes stared at the intently staring but extremely fierce Xin Yi, and some creepiness rose in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and stepped forward,
"After Ah Qing packed up the salute, he said that he was going to come to the Lingxu Hall to say goodbye to the Sanqing Patriarch, and no one cared at the time, who would have thought that the little Taoist boy who was holding the salute outside saw that she hadn't come out for a long time, so he pushed the door and came in......"
"Thinking that I was going to the Xin family yesterday, I sent someone to the Xin family to deliver the message as soon as possible, Seventh Girl, this Ah Qing's temperament was a little strange in her early years, and I don't know why......"
He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xin Yi,
"This is the suicide note that Dao Tong found next to her after she came in."
Xin Yi's heart trembled, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
She stretched out her hand to take the letter, and took it with one hand in the diagonal direction, read it for a while, and then handed it to Xin Yi.
Xin Yi opened the letter and looked at it, every stroke on it was familiar, it was indeed Grandma's notes, but she still said,
"This epistle is fake!"
The national teacher is not smiling, yin and yang are weird, "The seventh girl really loves to joke, what do you mean by this?" Do you doubt me looking at the sky? This is clearly A-Qing's handwriting, how can it be fake, I don't know if the seventh girl can give advice, where is it fake? β
He snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves.
"There is no trace of a fight at this scene, Daotong was guarding outside at the time, and she didn't hear anything abnormal, she came back from the palace in a carriage with her national teacher, and when she came back, she packed up and was accompanied by someone, if she didn't commit suicide, what was it."
If the old man with the goatee hadn't said that the poison was given twice, maybe she would have believed what the national teacher said.
"A letter doesn't mean anything." Xiao Yuanyou opened his mouth to break the deadlock, "This letter may have been forged by someone else, or it may indeed be from Grandma, but Grandma is old, and it is very likely that she will leave a will in advance." β
"Maybe the murderer saw this point and started it, so as to create the illusion of suicide."
Xin Yi didn't believe that Granny Qing committed suicide, she didn't have a good sense of the national teacher, and even suspected that the street assassination was also his handiwork.
Although she didn't find any evidence, her intuition was that the man in white that day was the national teacher.
She said calmly, "What the fifth brother said is that this kind of thing should always be investigated, after all, yesterday in front of His Majesty, I said to let Grandma come to me." β
"Just passed through the Imperial Front, the person died, is this Chaotianguan unwilling to let her come to me, or something else?"
"For the sake of their own innocence, let's find out. National teacher, what do you think? β
Without waiting for the gloomy national teacher to speak, she said again, "It just so happens that Lord Yan from the Four Laws Hall is here, the national teacher, Lord Yan is very good at investigating the case, and he is also fair, I think you won't object, right?" β
"No, it won't." The national teacher didn't have the strength to say anything, so he just replied with two words dryly.
Everyone knows what Silutang represents, this person is different from Xiao Yuanyou, he is simply the emperor's eagle dog, as for Chaotianguan, it is said to be a royal Taoist temple, but it is the existence of a half-slave and half-master.
"Weiwei, let's go and wait, okay? Let the nameless them check it out. β
Xiao Yuanyou touched Xin Yi's head and said comfortingly.
Xin Yi got up with his help and sat down on the chair next to him.
"Fifth brother, Grandma must have been killed!" Xin Yi's eyes were sour and stinging, but she couldn't shed tears, her throat choked slightly, and she said slowly,
"Grandma said that she wanted to avenge the master, and she said that she wanted to stay by my side until she found the master, and said that she would follow me well in the future."
Xin Yi's chaotic brain finally calmed down, whether there was someone from the Yan Nameless faction or not, she firmly believed that Grandma would not commit suicide.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go down the mountain at all, and she wouldn't have to follow the national teacher.
She must have found out something, so she was killed.
Is the murderer looking at the sky? Or is it the emperor who has just been dissuspected from her?
Xiao Yuanyou hugged Xin Yi's shoulder, feeling the huge sadness that suddenly erupted from the little Jiaojiao beside him,
"Weiwei, if you want to cry, just cry, in this way, you can be more sober, we have to help Nameless together, find the murderer, and take revenge on Grandma, so that we can comfort her old man's spirit in the sky."
This sentence seems to open a door to another world in Xinyi.
She has been immersed in the grief of Granny Qing's death, and she also thought that Yan Wuming would help her find the murderer, but she never thought about taking revenge herself.
She wants to find the murderer of Granny Qing, even if it is heaven and earth, she must catch the murderer who injured her master and her whereabouts are unknown, and break them into thousands of pieces!
Xin Yi's dead heart seemed to be ignited all at once, burning a raging fire of revenge.
She moved, threw herself into Xiao Yuanyou's arms, and after a choked voice, she cried bitterly, and she couldn't breathe.
Xiao Yuanyou reached out and stroked her back, "It's okay, Weiwei, don't be afraid, the fifth brother is here." β
"Weiwei, when I was young, when I first started reading those history books, I often lamented the misfortune of the innocent, but at that time, my grandfather said that those misfortunes should only be compassionate, not resentful.
He often said that people like us have more opportunities to live than ordinary people in the market. β
"I must not have told you about my abduction back then......"
It was more than ten years ago that there was a murder case that shocked Chang'an.
More than 20 children of powerful families were kidnapped, including Xiao Yuanyou.
At that time, all the fast catchers in Shangjing City were used to search for help for a whole month without clues, but twenty days later, this group of children ran to the gate of Chang'an City in tatters, and after asking, they learned that it was Xiao Yuanyou who led a group of children to save themselves, and they escaped.
At that time, there were three children imprisoned in another room, abused to death, and when they were thrown out, Xiao Yuanyou was trying to save the three children.
One of the children who escaped was a little older, and he remembered the place where they were imprisoned, so he took the adult servants over, and by then, the three children had already died, and Xiao Yuanyou was covered in injuries and soaked in the water tank, and his pale and delicate face looked shocking against the background of blood.
Everyone thought that he was hopeless, and Mrs. Tai'anhou, who had never lost her temper, hugged her son's broken body and cried heartbreakingly, and the people who saw it were still deeply impressed.
"Later, it was Qingshu Zhenren who saved me with the pill left by Weiyun Zhenren." Xiao Yuanyou said.
Xin Yi's already sad heart became more and more painful, with tears in his eyes, and he didn't say anything for a while.
"Weiwei, you see, this is our difference compared to others, more vitality, ordinary people, maybe they will die at that time, where can they still live?"
"There are many, many more like this, Your Majesty didn't agree with me going to Dali Temple, but I think I want to find a glimmer of life for more people."
"Weiwei, it's always going to be fine. Fifth brother has always been with you! β
"Good. I remembered. Xin Yi held Xiao Yuanyou's hand, and his voice was low and slow.
The two sat in silence for a long time, and Xin Yi spoke, "Fifth brother." β
"Hmm."
"I don't want to take the female officer exam anymore, I want to be the senior sister of Chaotianguan!"
She is a disciple of Weiyun Zhenren, and she is the senior sister of everyone in this Taoist temple!
"Okay." Xiao Yuanyou agreed solemnly and simply.
The two didn't speak again, Xin Yi was next to Xiao Yuanyou, and the hall was bright and warm, making Xin Yi feel a little dazzling.
She subconsciously squeezed into Xiao Yuanyou's arms and sighed lowly.
This night, Xin Yi didn't sleep, and the lights were bright up and down the sky.
"The poison in Grandma Qing's house may have been mixed with a hooked vine kiss, and her face was blue and black, her lips were dark, and her nails were blue and black, probably to avoid pain, and there were many poppies and mandalas mixed in it."
The old man with a goatee stroked the beard on his chin and felt very sorry.
I heard that Weiyun Zhenren's Taoism is profound, and he is very proficient in word and hexagram reading, and he has never had the opportunity to see it before, but he didn't expect to see her servant, and he was also in such a situation.
It's embarrassing to think about.
The hook vine kiss and the lip stain are dead, not to mention that there are other poisons, and most of the traces seen on this grandmother's watch are almost all caused by other drugs, that is, the person who poisoned the poison will make medicine.
Only pharmaceutical people can blend several different drugs together to achieve the desired effect, and dispensing drugs is not an overnight thing, and in the process of constantly adjusting the experiment, in addition to time, will also leave traces.
"You said you want to go to Chaotianguan to be a female apprentice?" The national teacher sat cross-legged on the futon, dragging the teacup, unconsciously turning in circles.
"Uncle Shi, you're wrong, it's not a female apprentice!" Xin Yi said with a smile.
"Oh? What is that? If you don't become a female apprentice, you can't enter the Chaotian Temple. β
"I'm a descendant disciple of Weiyun Zhenren!"
The national teacher's eyes changed, and before he could open his mouth to respond, he heard Xin Yi continue,
"Master is the eldest disciple of Chaotianguan, as her descendant disciple, then I am naturally the senior sister of Chaotianguan, uncle, isn't it?"
The national teacher grabbed the teacup and tightened his hand and nodded, "Indeed, but if you have anything to say, your master is gone, and my uncle didn't know it before, but now that he knows, he naturally wants to take good care of you." β
Xin Yi bowed his head, "Indeed, you are a senior uncle, if I don't tell you, who else can I tell you?" The nephew also thought so, so he took the liberty to disturb the uncle. β
After speaking, she looked at the national teacher, "Senior sister of Chaotianguan, can you let me do it?" β
The national teacher looked at her calmly and said,
"It stands to reason that this is okay, it's just that the senior sister of Chaotianguan is not so easy to do, you probably haven't heard your master say it......"
"Uncle Shi is right! Of course, I know that the senior sister of Chaotianguan is not easy to do, because the senior sister of Chaotianguan will succeed to the position of national teacher in the future. Right? β
Xin Yi replied with a smile.
The national teacher smiled slightly, "That's true, but you don't know about it." β
"Please give me advice." Xin Yi was thoughtful.
The national teacher taught earnestly with the attitude of an elder,
"Such a big event, of course it is impossible for your master to tell you, we look at the sky, we have served the royal family for generations, and in real terms, we can be regarded as half a royal servant, and things related to the fortune of the country naturally cannot be sloppy."
"Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in Chaotianguan, that is, as a senior sister, you can't talk about marriage, let alone get married."
"After all, it is a very solemn thing to calculate the fortune of the country, no matter what this person thinks, no matter how much this person thinks, no matter how much dirt this person has."
"Regardless of men and women, they can't talk about marriage, and they will be clean all their lives."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Xin Yi with a sneering gaze, which meant that Xin Yi was not qualified.
Look, this is self-inflicted cleverness, a little girl is a little girl.
Xin Yi bit his lip, as if he had been hit, and asked without giving up after thinking about it,
"Can't this rule be broken? I don't want to divorce my fifth brother......"
The national teacher smiled and replied lightly, "Yes." β
"However, I really want to read it in which book, the original view of Chaotian Temple was a noble lady, because of family affairs, this is the construction of Chaotian Temple, since this is the case......"
The national teacher was even more disapproving, he had reached today's status, could he not deal with a little girl, I saw him say indifferently,
"You also know that she is the daughter of your family, and she will build the Chaotian Temple because she withdrew from the family, and she did not undertake such a major event as calculating the fortunes of the country at that time."
"Oh." The corners of Xin Yi's eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
The national teacher frowned slightly, a little impatient to deal with her, the people of the Silu Hall were still searching outside, this seventh girl still wanted to be the senior sister of Chaotianguan......
He is a dignified national teacher, and there is really no need to entangle with juniors who don't know the height of the sky.
Xin Yi raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and smiled again, meaningful,
"Uncle Shi, what if I insist on this? Neither retreat from relatives, but also want to be a senior sister of Chaotianguan, how do you stay? β
Seeing her like this, the national teacher suddenly had a bad premonition, and she ......
"Uncle Shi, you probably don't know my nephew, I'm the most real, the most direct, and the simplest, I said to do it, that is, I really want to do this senior sister."
