Chapter 284: Jade Flute

The wind slowly turned Lan Sheng's skirt and quietly blew in the direction of the wing. For such "mysterious" events, she has always decided by the "wind", so she stood up and walked over to take a look.

There was no lock in front of the door, and it opened with a push of the hand. The house is so small, you can see it all at a glance. A bed and a table, two mahogany boxes on one shelf, a small incense burner on the table, a few books and some decorated trinkets on the shelf, a lamp is placed next to the door, and candles and lamps are accumulated on the window sill.

But Lan Sheng's observation of architecture has almost become an instinct, and when he enters the house and walks around, he realizes that there is no trace of anyone living in this room. Although the furniture such as the table is clean and undusted, the surface is as good as new and there are no obvious scratches. The East Palace was built earlier than the Six Princes' Mansion, and after more than a year, if someone lives, it is impossible to see no artificial wear and tear. If it is a utility room, it is stacked in a mess and lacks people to take care of it, but it is easy to understand, but this house is obviously made into a living room and kept so tidy, but it has never been used as a living room, which is strange.

Recalling the direction of the rockery passage at that time, she stomped her feet as she walked until she came to the couch. There was a thin quilt on the couch, and the mat was laid out too early, and her eyes slowly surveyed every part of the bed, and then fixed on a golden tassel knot hanging from the top frame, and raised her hand to pull. There was no loud click, and the couch flicked up slightly, and she lifted it up without much effort, and a staircase below led to the darkness.

The rockery dark room of the Mirror Moon Hall is no longer a secret, so whether it is cover or mechanism, it is quite lazy, and there is no need for the person looking for it to spend too much thought. Lan Sheng had only one question. The three scenes of the mirror and moon were completely filled, and the prince who wanted to eliminate the mark of the old lord here, why did he keep this place alone? Thinking of this, she became more and more curious, so she lit the lamp and picked up the light.

The soil steps are not high or steep, and you can step on the flat ground in a few steps. The passage is not long, slightly oblique, and it only takes a few steps to enter the dark room. There was a musty smell in the face, and the lights shone brightly. Plastered with simple walls. The damp and cold ground made Lan Sheng frown.

Outside, there is only a stone platform that looks like a table, and a bookshelf is carved out of the mud wall behind the stone platform, and a pen holder is placed. Inkstone. and rolls of paper that have turned yellow. The things on display opposite the stone platform are very eerie. Iron Cross. Rusty shackles, blackened charcoal basins, and all sorts of gadgets hanging on the walls. Including hammers, hammers, clamps, and nail strings, even many of them she couldn't name, only to feel chills on her body.

What disgusted her even more was that the torture instruments were small enough to torture and imprison smaller people. She hardly wanted to think about the rumors circulating in the palace that those people would be children and teenagers. If you don't look at it, you don't know, and when you look at it, you can't suppress compassion. She is not a loving person, but she hates the sin of hurting children. That's a cowardly behavior that doesn't dare to fight against the same forces, knowing that he has an absolute advantage over children as a bully.

The Dragon Robe Case and the Prison Cell Case of the Mirror Moon Hall happened quickly and ended quickly, although the prince who was manipulated behind the scenes was not caught, and the six princes who bore the brunt of the crime did not suffer too much, and all the people below shared the bad luck, but the mystery was not revealed, and there seemed to be a mystery in the mystery. Lan Sheng suddenly remembered that his attention at that time was actually focused on Jing Di, and he hadn't seen this gloomy prison cell, so he was not affected by this moment. If she had seen such filth and sinister at that time, she would not have had superfluous feelings for Hyun Jinfeng at all. She has no interest in digging deep into her husband's premarital affair history, and after marriage, as long as she doesn't mess with her, she can coexist peacefully. But a person who abused and killed a teenager, and I heard that he was only a teenager at the time, it was not only a flower, but also cruel and despicable, and hopeless. No matter how many times you do it again, it is an inferior root that cannot be removed, and it will recur one day.

The six princes Lan Sheng saw have always been different from the rumors, just by paying attention, those so-called women who were played by him, she had seen Zhenwan and Graceful Ji, but in fact, they were not fuel-efficient lamps. From beginning to end, she hadn't personally experienced his true cruelty, and every time she met him, the deeper the inexplicable distress became, and she didn't know where it came from, thinking it was her own delusion.

However, at this moment, she was standing here, on one side was a prisoner who could not imagine the pain, and on the other hand, she was a cage that did not see the light of day, because she suddenly seemed to want to see Hyun Jinfeng's true face, and realized that she might be too naïve, and her hands and feet were suddenly cold. For a long time, this person who has been treated intuitively and believes that he is not very evil, could it be that she is too subjective and completely wrong?

In order to breathe more easily, she turned away from looking at the torture instrument and walked into the cell next door. The cell was equipped with iron bars, each iron rod about the size of her fist, and the baby could not get out. The iron door was ajar, and she stepped in with the lamp, and found some rags in the corner, but she couldn't see the name. Then the candle in the lamp flickered, and the wind came overhead. She looked up and saw that there were seven or eight finger-thick holes in the top of the mud cell, and she was thinking about what to do, when an intermittent human voice came from her ears—

…… Don't be slow...... Come on...... Master...... Urgent...... Sideboard......

Although it sounds distant and unreal, it is clear that someone is passing by on the ground. Lan Sheng's face was hard to see, how ruthless, he didn't let people see the light, he suffered from purgatory, and there was no god on his head, but he could hear the beautiful life of the master in the Mirror Moon Palace. With such a difference between heaven and earth, if you endure those tortures, the cruelty will be doubled, and death will be liberating, and I am afraid that it will be the most difficult to die. She was so depressed that she couldn't shout, she couldn't stay even for a moment, so what about the teenagers who had died here?

Lan Sheng's breathing became rapid again, as if he was anemic, he was dizzy in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but tilt against the wall, and quickly supported it with his hands. Who knows, she actually let her hold a piece of it. I thought it was because the mud wall was old, and when the lantern shone at random, I had to stand up straight.

It was that glance that glimpsed what seemed to be something at the bottom of the cave. Lan Sheng was just a rat at first, so he jumped back in fright, and after waiting for a long time and no movement, he carefully lit it up, and saw that the hole was actually very shallow, and the contents were wrapped in gray cloth strips. She took out a handkerchief, took it out through it, and untied the strip of cloth, her gaze turning from clear to stunned.

Wrapped in strips of cloth was a piccolo. The flute body is made of clear jasper, buckled with bamboo leaves and gold carving rings, which seems to be precious, but it is broken into two sections. And what stunned Lan Sheng was not the broken flute, but the two words engraved on the jasper tube - Lan Sheng.

There is such a fragment of memory in her mind: Nanyue Lansheng is the old master of the flute, and she has no talent, so she gave it to others. The man's name was Hyun Jinfeng. Dizi left the National Teacher's Mansion with him at the age of five and entered the palace.

But how did the flute break? And why is it hidden in the iron cage wall? If the little eunuch was really locked up in the cage, then there was only one possibility, and some of them stole the flute, hated the abuse of the six princes and knocked it out and hid it. However, this possibility made Lan Sheng feel that it was not right. Break it and wrap it up? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a treasure.

She was unsettled, and she didn't dare to speculate rashly about another hypothesis, not knowing that the case that was hastily settled two years ago, the mystery of the mysterious prison cell, and the new clues discovered on a whim, she was quietly one step closer to the truth.

Put away the flute and try to make the cracked wall look naturally old, and Lan Sheng returned the same way.

When she came out, there was no one in the garden, and when she arrived at Qinglangyu, the women were watching the spring scenery and listening to good songs in the painting boat on the lake, and she sat for a while before they went ashore and sat down again. So unknowingly, no one could see that the six princesses walked here from the main hall, and the two points were not in a straight line.

As Lan Sheng expected, there are many places with many women. Opened with An Wenpei's white eyes, Jingqiu looked at each other coldly, and the lord of Yunhua County ignored it. There are light and tepid, such as the smiling chin of the two princesses of Dongping and Xiping, and the shallow courtesy of the two county lords. There are also some noble ladies who are lukewarm, usually do not interact, and do not greet each other from afar.

As for Concubine Xian, she really came to drink her son's happy wine, but she didn't say a word of joy, but it was rare to have a lively time. At the same time, she was so enthusiastic that Zhao Lansheng sat beside her, actually pointing at her to serve food and pour wine, and be the palace maid.

However, Lan Sheng has something in his heart, so he is not so informal, anyway, if Concubine Xian says one, she will do one, so well-behaved that others can't make mistakes.

As a result, most women relaxed their attention to Lan Sheng. Their husbands are all high-ranking officials and nobles, and they know the holy will of the Ming Dynasty. The six princes have been ingratiating themselves with the crown prince recently, and it seems that they have come to their senses. Since he himself is willing to be under his brother, and the emperor does not have the slightest intention of abolishing the prince, it can be regarded as brotherly harmony, so there is really no need for them to care too much. And the hottest topic is the selection of the crown princess.

The eyes of the Bai family, the mother of Jingqiu, swept over Lan Sheng, who was drooping and thoughtful, but said to Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian, is the day of the crown princess election set?" ”

"The emperor handed over this matter to the old man of the Queen Mother before his southern tour, and the palace did not dare to urge." Concubine Xian smiled like a bright flower, since her son became the crown prince, although there were some small turmoil, but there was no danger, and she felt that her position as the queen mother in the future was also appropriate, so her mood was very bright.

"Why don't you wait for the emperor to come back and personally check for the crown prince?" The status of the female dependents depends on the status of the husband, and the Bai family is the female middle Qin Tianjian, second only to the mothers.

"The emperor will return to the court in June, but the Taiji Palace will be auspicious, and the prince's engagement in May is the best, and the palace only hopes that the emperor can catch up with the wedding day." Thinking of Concubine Qi and that Zhen Jieyu, Concubine Xian sneered in her heart. She wants to see how useful it is to please the old one.

Mrs. Ann laughed, "That's for sure. By the way, the courtiers heard that the Queen Mother invited a guest from Wuzhou, did she decide on that one? "Actually, I hope my daughter can be chosen.

Concubine Xian waved her hand, "This palace also thought it was and asked the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother said no, saying that the crown princess still had to be selected from all the families present, and she would discuss it with me after April. ”

Mrs. Ann's smile is really-

I'm going to volunteer tomorrow and I'm very happy.

I wish you all a happy and fulfilling weekend, too! (To be continued......)
