Chapter 127: Poison Trail 4
In Poplar's study, the smoke and heat had completely dissipated. Spring Flower and Autumn Moon were busy placing herbs on the table, and the medicine pot on the stove by the window was re-soaking herbs. A prescription was also placed on the table, and the futon on the soft couch was dragged to the ground on one side.
"Qiuyue, that's it, when the eldest lady gives the signal, we'll light the fire."
"Okay Chunhua, that prescription is newly written by Miss, don't be mistaken."
"It won't be wrong, this is what the young lady just gave to the slave when she left."
"Spring flowers and autumn moons, tonight is destined not to be able to sleep peacefully. You two are outside the study. You don't have to wait for Miss Ben's signal, as long as there is an inspection outside, you can boil the herbs. Now you two go to the outhouse and rest for a while. Poplar pushed the door and walked into the study, and said to the two little maids.
"Yes Miss." The two little maids walked out of the study, and Poplar turned around and entered the secret room.
Ling Gongzi was still asleep. Just now, just to be on the safe side, Poplar ordered his sleeping hole before getting him in. Bai Yang thought it was necessary to have a good talk with this Ling Gongzi. Moved him to the soft couch in the study, and Poplar opened his acupoint.
"Miss Bai, how do I feel like I've changed places again? I'll leave when dawn will not bother you. Ling Gongzi opened his eyes and said.
"Ling Gongzi's kung fu is a little better than Miss Ben expected. It's not that I'm afraid that you will affect us, even without you, our husband and wife have unreasonable grievances and entanglements with the court. Miss Ben dared to say that there was no place in the capital that was safe now. You can live here with peace of mind and take care of your body, just now you were in Miss Ben's secret room. There has already been a wave of people coming from the imperial court, and the next wave will come tonight before tomorrow morning. ”
"Miss Bai trusts me so much, and my son will tell the truth. I was originally the prince of Xiling Kingdom, and the princess who died in the Great Yan Kingdom was my royal sister of the same father and mother, and the imperial sister voluntarily went to the Great Yan Kingdom five years ago to track down her poisonous master. Sister Huang's master went down the mountain more than ten years ago and never went back. There is evidence that she came to the Great Yan Kingdom and disappeared in your palace. ”
"Your news is too important, there must be a master of poison in the palace, and these young ladies have also deduced it. Now that I think about it, the guard who was killed by your arrow probably has a lot to do with your imperial sister's master, otherwise the emperor would not have searched for assassins so vigorously and had the posture of digging three feet into the ground. Based on this, you should stand still, and now my courtyard is afraid that the eyes of all forces are staring at it. ”
"Miss Bai, in the carriage, you said that the mother of the King of Ease, the concubine, also died in the same palace. Have you found out now? ”
"More direct evidence is not enough, but it is certain that she also died of poisoning. It is estimated that your imperial sister's master was already in the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom at that time. So we have a common enemy, and we have a common goal.
"Miss Bai doesn't understand a little bit about her son, why did the imperial sister's master poison her own apprentice?"
"There must be a reason for this, maybe she doesn't even know who the poison is used for. There is also a possibility that she didn't want others to know her identity, but she met your imperial sister, so she had to kill people as a last resort. ”
"Miss Bai, we have thought about both of these things you said. But it is impossible to be established, and the master of the imperial sister is very famous in the rivers and lakes. She doesn't have to care if others know about her at all. The imperial sister's master is also very good to the imperial sister, so it is impossible to be suspected of murder. ”
"Young Master Ling, when your imperial sister was married, you weren't too big."
"Miss Bai, I know what you want to ask, our mother died very early, and in the palace of Xiling Kingdom, I and the imperial sister depend on each other. There is no mother's blessing above, and the power of the grandfather's family outside is not very strong. It is impossible to oppose the court for the sake of our sister and brother. After the death of her mother, the imperial sister met Duzun by chance in order to become strong for herself. The royal sister has an indirect life-saving grace for Duzun, and Duzun accepts the imperial sister as an apprentice. That is, with the power of the sole respect, the fate of me and the imperial sister has changed in the palace. The royal sister and her master are alone, both master and apprentice, and like mother and daughter. Every year, Master Duzun has to go down the mountain to collect precious herbs, from a few months to a few days. Just that time he went down the mountain and never came back, and his apprentices inquired in many ways. I knew that she had come to the Great Yan Kingdom and entered the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom. The reason why it is so certain is because the poison that flowed out of the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom appeared on the rivers and lakes. ”
"Your imperial sister's master is a woman?" Poplar asked suddenly.
"Miss Bai, are men and women important?"
"Common sense says it's not important, but it's important to put it in the palace. Is it possible that your imperial sister's master happened to be accepted into the harem by the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom. ”
"Miss Bai, your idea is too bold, this is really possible. The imperial sister's master is actually not a few years older than the imperial sister, but she has been immersed in poison all the year round and looks a little older than her actual age. I heard that the imperial sister said that her master would change faces. Young and old can do whatever they want. Does Miss Bai really have this kung fu? ”
"Miss Ben thinks there should be, and even if she doesn't, there is a disguise technique. The former relies on changes in the bones, and the latter relies on external modifications. Do you look yourself in the mirror now and see that you are still the same way you were? Bai Yang said and took a small mirror and handed it to Lin Gongzi.
"God, why did my son change sex?" Ling Gongzi was surprised to see the strange lady in the mirror.
"This is disguise, and Miss Ben is only a little superficial. It looks like a goof in front of a master, and it can't withstand the washing of water. It's okay to trick strangers for the time being. ”
"In this way, the master of the imperial sister will be able to disguise the face. Because the royal sister once said that her master would bring a lot of rouge gouache every time she went out. ”
"Assuming our conjecture is correct, then your imperial sister's master should still be in the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom now. Ling Gongzi, can you draw a portrait of your imperial sister and master? ”
"This is not difficult, I have also met the master of the imperial sister a few times. Miss Bai, is it possible that you want to take the portrait to the harem of the Great Yan Kingdom to identify it? ”
"Ling Gongzi, how can things be so simple? If she was in the harem of Dayan Country now, the death of that poisonous guard, the emperor would not have to go to such great lengths. His pursuit of the Assassins was more of a vent of anger. ”
"Miss Bai, if that's the case, then the poisonous guard who was shot to death by me could be the liaison between your Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom and my imperial sister's master."
"Other than that, Miss Ben can't think of any other possibility. In the carriage, Miss Ben once said that you scared the snake. Miss Ben wasn't sure at the time, and now you must have overdone it.
"Oops, in the past, the imperial sister used to say that I couldn't hold my breath and was easy to do bad things. Sure enough, I messed it up, and that poison guard was the clue. Miss Bai, what else can you do? ”
"Not yet, we can only wait and see. This change is in the palace. If the dead guard really had a connection with Duzun, then his death would have caused waves in the palace. What are you drawing? Bai Yang couldn't help but ask as he watched Ling Gongzi draw as he spoke.
"Miss Bai made you laugh, I thought in my heart it's one thing, and it's another thing to want to draw it." Ling Gongzi said embarrassedly.
"You said I'd paint." Poplar is a little helpless, in fact, even in modern times, not everyone can simulate the appearance of a criminal.
"It's okay, I'm not very good at painting. She has a round face, and her glasses are also very round, not the kind of slender eyes. The eyebrows are particularly good-looking, and they are thick black from beginning to end. The nose is small, the mouth is not big, and there are two small pits on the face when you laugh. belongs to a particularly charming kind of woman.,Those who don't know must regard her as a confidant big sister.。 I wouldn't have thought that she was the only one who everyone was afraid of on the famous rivers and lakes. The first time I saw her, she was laughing and poisoning the grass all over the yard. But the grass was withered and yellow, but it still seemed to be growing. Later, my sister told me that her master used those withered grass to prepare a poison...... "Ling Gongzi fell into the memory, and talked about his imperial sister master in detail. Aries also listened as he drew a dozen simulations on paper. In the end, Lin Gongzi finally affirmed that one of them was most like that Duzun.
"Miss Bai, this picture is most like her. Her hair was often loosely draped, and my imperial sister once said that if her master pulled her hair up, it would be full of poison. By the way, the color of her hair also changes, sometimes it is black, sometimes it is white, and her master's hair is yellow on weekdays. ”
With Ling Gongzi's description. In Poplar's mind, the image of a flamboyant woman gradually emerged. It seems that it is necessary to visit the palace again. Such a woman is unknown, then she must be hidden in some hidden corner of the palace. Not everyone has access to her. This range may not seem large, but it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find it.
When Bai Yang and Ling Gongzi were talking in the study, there was another knock on the door outside.
"Open the White Mansion and search for the Assassins."
"Official, the search was just finished in the middle of the night, how can we have assassins here?" Dasha's helpless voice came in, and Poplar understood that this was a letter to himself.
"What's the matter? Now it's going to be dawn, let me tell you, the Assassins won't be able to catch it for a day. We're going to have to search day and night, and don't say you can't sleep well, we're worse than you. By the way, there are new rules from above. We searched whoever we found ate at whom's house. Hurry up and tell your master, Miss Bai, that today's breakfast will be eaten in your house. ”
