"Your throat is still swollen, stop talking!" I lifted him up, carefully wrapped him in a belt, and laughed at myself, "Is my voice so loud that you can hear it in the house?" Your father is really scary, I am bold, you didn't see Mrs. Xin Yuan, and you didn't even dare to breathe in front of him. ”

I bandaged Berlu's wounds, and dragged a quilt between them, one large and one small, "You have a good rest tonight, and tell me tomorrow why you suddenly changed your sex and went hunting?" And how did you get shot in the chest by a seven-year-old doll in a daze? ”

Beru hummed softly, and I blew out the light in the room, pulled the quilt that had slipped down for Childe, and closed my eyes.

What I need now is not sleep, but the truth behind this chain of events. Whose person is the dead little? Who put the poisoned arrows in Childe's crying arrow? If Burlu dies of poisoning, who will be the ultimate beneficiary?

I lay in the dark, and the questions were like glowing threads intertwined in my mind, and I wanted to sort them out one by one, and I wanted to unravel the snare that the enemy had secretly cast......

Because of the timely detoxification, Childe was already awake in the early morning of the second day. It's just that the toddler suddenly encountered an accident and couldn't see his mother, so he was inevitably nervous and scared, so after drinking a bowl of yellow rice soup, he shrank and hid in the corner, no matter what I said, what I asked, but I didn't speak.

Fortunately, when it was close to noon, Wuxian sent someone to send Si'er and Wuxie to come, and Gongzi seemed to have a good impression of the snow monkey, and from time to time he peeked at it with his eyes. Seeing this, I took out a box of candied fruit that I had found in Boru's room and bribed the snow monkey, first did a handstand, then started to spin in circles, and finally performed five backflips in a row, only to let him perform a dance in public to make Bo Gongzi laugh.

Where has the little boy who has been raised in the deep palace all the year round seen such a clever and interesting monkey, he squatted in the corner and watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help but come over timidly: "Wizard, can you let me play with it for a while?" ”

"Absolutely!" I took a piece of dried peach and put it in the monkey's hand as a reward, and then smiled and handed a whole box of candied fruit to Childe, "This little guy is very cunning, you have to hold this box tightly, or it will be snatched from you." ”

"Hmm!" Childe nodded and grinned, revealing two half-decayed front teeth, which looked particularly interesting.

"Let's play!" I patted him on the head and chuckled.

"Little monkey, come—jump one!" Childe cries and chases the snow monkey happily around the house.

After Si'er finished packing up the baggage he brought, he came over and asked, "Who is this child?" ”

"The youngest son of the Marquis of Jin, the murderer who seriously injured Zhao Shizi with a poisoned arrow." I glanced at Berlu on the bed and laughed.

When Si'er first came in to greet him, Bolu was still pretending to be deep on the side, as if the arrow wound on his body was caused by fighting bravely on the battlefield, and now that I said it, his face instantly collapsed.

Coincidentally, there was an innocent person who liked to laugh at people sitting in the room, and he patted the ground with his hand very cooperatively, laughing: "Hey, I said Zhao Shizi, you are too useless!" Seriously injured by a child with no front teeth? ”

"Innocent! Don't talk nonsense! I walked over to Berlu with freshly mingulated indigo juice and slapped Innocent on the head heavily, "Quick, apologize." ”

"You said it first! I-" Innocent pointed at me with an innocent face, pointed at Berus, and muttered with great reluctance: "Forgive me, son of the world!" ”

Bolu cooperated with Si'er to untie the strap on his chest, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'm quite ashamed, I was shot by a child on the first hunting trip in my life, and I was still in the garden where flowers and grass are raised." ”

The place where Bolu hunted was the garden of the Marquis of Jin outside the city, the so-called garden was to enclose the field, plant all kinds of trees and flowers in it, put the strange stones found in the stream, set up the pavilion, and raise birds and birds and beasts in captivity, for the nobles to play in the spring and hunt in the autumn.

"You've always hated hunting, why did you suddenly change your sex this time?" I examined Berlu's wound, and the tiny pus in it had disappeared a lot, and it seemed that what was written on the handscroll of the doctor was really good, and the indigo and rhino horn did have a miraculous effect on detoxification.

"The eldest brother hasn't spoken to me for two years, a few days ago he sent someone to send a few children's clothes to Zhou'er, and came to sit with me in the courtyard for a while, he said that he wanted to invite me to go to the garden of the Marquis of Jin to enjoy the snow and boiled wine. I didn't want to miss this opportunity to befriend him, so I agreed. ”

"Wouldn't it be strange that someone who hasn't spoken to you in two years suddenly wants to have a drink with you?"

"Ashi, one can't make the same mistake twice in one place. Two years ago, because I listened to Hongyun'er's words, I refused the invitation of my eldest brother to hunt, and later caused the two of us brothers to be estranged and strangers. There was only one wall in our yard, but we didn't say a word in private. No matter what I said or did, he was unwilling to forgive me. Two years later, he invited me to come with me again, how could I refuse his kindness? As soon as Boru was excited, he pressed his chest and coughed violently, "This matter--it has nothing to do with the eldest brother-"

"I know it's nothing to do with him, so stop talking." I helped him smooth out, I was very helpless, I was willing to really make friends with him because of Berlu's kindness, but now I am annoyed by his elm head, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad.

I handed the potion to Si'er, and with a whistle, the snow monkey immediately ran over, and a box of candied fruit had already fallen into its hand. Childe then followed, blushing and panting, "Wizard, your monkey is too slippery. ”

"Childe, sit down." I smiled and coaxed my son to sit down next to me, "Do you want to see your mother?" ”

"Yes!" Childe nodded vigorously, his dark eyes full of bright brilliance.

"If you tell me honestly what happened yesterday, I'll have someone bring your aunt over to meet you, okay?"

"If I tell you, you will give me this monkey too!" Childe glanced at the smiling snow monkey next to him and asked in a low voice.

"It's a snow monkey on a snowy mountain, and if you stay with it for a long time, you'll freeze into ice and die." As I spoke, I secretly pinched the monkey's waist, and the monkey immediately bared its teeth and began to scream. I patted my son's frustrated little face and smiled sweetly: "But the hot poison on your body has not disappeared now, I can borrow it for you to play for two days." ”

Childe nodded as if he didn't understand, timidly glanced at Beru behind me, and said aggrievedly: "Actually, the arrow on Zhao Shizi's body was not shot by me. ”

I was taken aback and asked urgently, "Who shot that?" ”

"It was one of my new guards, and he said that there was a bear hiding behind the bushes, and I was so frightened that I didn't tighten my bowstring, and the arrow fell to the ground halfway through."

Where did the bears come from in the park?! Most of the animals in the gardens of the princes and ministers are grass-eating animals, the most carnivorous ones are foxes, and even wolves are rarely raised, let alone bears! The guard was obviously misleading Childe.

"Then why didn't you say it before?"

"I said it, but Zhiyan and that Zhao Mengli both insisted that the arrow on Zhao Shizi's body was shot by me, and then even A-Niang didn't believe me. Wizard, the person who shot and injured Zhao Shizi was a guard, not me, you must believe me! After Childe finished speaking, his mouth pursed, and tears fell down his eyes.

I gently wiped away his tears with my hand and whispered softly, "Don't cry yet, then do you know where the guard is now?" ”

"He, he's dead......" Childe cried even harder.

"Dead?! How did he die? ”

"Because he was the one who shouted that there was a bear first, and later found out that it was Zhao Shizi who was hit by the arrow behind the bushes, so he drew his sword and committed suicide."

Hmph, what a death without proof! It seems that Zhao Mengli and that Zhiyan have discussed to let Gongzi carry this black cauldron.

"Shizi, you are really, what are you doing hiding behind the bushes in the garden?" I saw that my son was crying so badly that I had to turn around and ask Berlu.

Boru said helplessly: "I didn't hide behind a tree, everyone was hunting a fawn at that time, and the eldest brother asked me to outflank me from the side, and I chased the deer into the bushes." ”

"And who is this Zhiyan?"

"Zhiyan is Zhiyao's eldest son, and he will be named Zhishizi in five days."

"Chi Shizi? I heard that Zhi Yao is not a few years older than Hong Yun'er, why did Zhi have a son so early? I was surprised.

Bo Lu clutched his chest and took two long breaths, and said slowly to me: "You don't know, the men of the Zhi clan have a long lifespan, and several generations of sect masters died early before they were forty. Therefore, the Marquis of Jin granted the son of the Zhi clan to fall to the crown at the age of ten and set up twelve heirs to continue the lineage. Zhiyan is just twelve this year, so Zhiyao is in a hurry to make him the son. ”

"So, Lan Ji was invited by Zhiyao to attend the banquet of the prince......," I muttered to myself, bowing my head.

"There's nothing good about this woman's place! Luckily, we don't have to mess with her this time. Innocent snatched the snow monkey's preserves, lay on the ground with his legs crossed, and threw them into his mouth one by one.

I was woken up by the innocent words, and hurriedly tugged on Bolu's sleeve and said, "The Zhi clan has established the son, can the sect masters of the other three families bring their own sons to the ceremony?" ”

"How do you know? Is there anything wrong with that? ”

I ignored Bolu's question, and asked again: "When the Han and Wei families established their sons in the past, did Prime Minister take you with him in addition to taking you?" ”

"It stands to reason that only the patriarchs of each family can bring the son or the eldest son to the ceremony, so the father only brought me alone in the past two times."

As soon as Buru said this, my heart suddenly brightened. The fourth and sixth sons of the Zhao family all lived in their respective provinces, and if something happened to Bolu, it would be impossible for them to rush back to Xinjiang within five days. Then the person who accompanied Zhao Ying to the ceremony would definitely be Zhao Mengli, which is why he chose to assassinate Beru at this time.

But what about the evidence?

The guard died suddenly, and the little maid who poured the water also died, and Zhiyan helped Zhao Mengli frame Gongzi and was obviously an accomplice. In this way, where can I find evidence to prove that Zhao Mengli tried to occupy the magpie's nest and murder Beru?
