Chapter 038: Nail
The palace maid went in to report, but there was no sound inside.
Li Xuan'er raised her legs and walked in, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Meiren's mother and daughter inside. Li Die'er greeted me and said, "Why does the eldest sister have time to come to see me?" ”
"There was such a big event today, Concubine Zhou and her sister didn't see it, that scene was really scary." Li Xuan'er sighed, took Die'er's hand and said:
"Sister, I saw a person in Ziyu Pavilion, and kindly reminded my sister to be careful, don't ruin your reputation because of irrelevant people."
Die'er's heart tightened, and she took Li Xuan'er's hand and asked, "Who did my sister see?" ”
"I want to ask you first, is Little Lady Guo your cousin?"
When Li Die'er heard Guo Qinglan and asked her, she said angrily: "What cousin? Eight streets away! At the beginning, I didn't know how I would find such a person to enter the palace to accompany me. ”
Li Xuan'er pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Isn't it the niece of Zhou's mother-in-law? She's not in that way on the outside. Today I saw that Guo Xiaoniang and Wu Zhaoyi went to Ziyu Pavilion together, and I thought she was so close to us. However, with her appearance, she won the hearts of those noble sons. ”
"She died when she was a child, and lived with a drunken father, my aunt took pity on her and was beaten and scolded by her father, and took her to the capital mansion, but I didn't expect that she was only fifteen years old, and she hooked up with my uncle and my cousin!"
Die'er was about to speak, but Zhou Meiren interrupted: "That's not Qinglan's fault, if you want to blame it, blame your uncle and cousin, who are obsessed with lust......"
Li Xuan'er hurriedly said: "Since her character is not good, don't let her ruin her sister's reputation." Also, she got close to Concubine Wu, and she knew that she made her own opinions, but she didn't know, and thought that she represented Concubine Zhou. Like today's incident, where did my father die in the Jade Gonggong of the Immortal Palace, Mother Zhou should know better than me. ”
When Zhou Meiren heard Father-in-law Yu, her face changed. She didn't go to the flower banquet today because she was sick, and she didn't let her lively daughter go out, and they lived in the same hall with Wu Zhaoyi and Shiro, and they must know something.
Li Xuan'er thought like this, so she decided to go to Zhou Meiren to find out. Now even if Zhou Meiren doesn't say it, she has a faint number in her heart:
Since the plaque of the rain pavilion, there must be fraud in it!
"Sister, this pair of tortoiseshell bracelets, the color is peculiar, not as old as usual, last time you said you liked it, the eldest sister specially brought it to you."
Li Die'er was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, eldest sister." We are the real sisters, that demon Guo Qinglan, let her come from and go back as soon as possible! ”
Drive Guo Qinglan back to her hometown, and the eldest brother will not meet her.
Xuan'er got up to say goodbye, and Zhou Meiren's mother and daughter sent her outside the Xianju Palace.
Li Xuan'er did not go back, but walked towards Dongyuan. She wants to return to the site of Ziyu Pavilion to see if she can find any clues.
The side of the Taiye Pool was quiet, and even the flower banquet hall that was arranged with great fanfare was removed cleanly. Without a prince, this is still the first child of the saint to die young.
Although he has been sick since he was a child, the palace has long been worried that King Yong will not be blessed, but he did not expect that he would die like this.
Since the plaque of the rain pavilion has been carried away, Li Xuan'er looked up, and the place where the plaque was originally hung still left a clear imprint. But she couldn't see clearly from such a distance, and Xuan'er felt that she still had to climb up.
"Mu Xiang, Mu Lan, you look on the ground to see if there is half a nail."
The two maidservants were searching the ground when a team of Yulin guards came over. Although I don't see Yang Huaixin, they are all acquaintances.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what have you lost?" Yang Fuguang asked.
Li Xuan'er said happily: "You came just in time, I'm worried about how to climb to the top of the pavilion." She attached herself to Yang Fuguang's ear and spoke carefully to him.
Yang Fuguang was not ambiguous, he called the two captains, he stepped on their shoulders, but he still couldn't reach them, the two captains smiled: "Yang Jiu, keep your balance, we'll send you up!" ”
I saw that one of them resisted one of Yang Fuguang's feet and lifted him up.
Now Yang Fuguang saw clearly, the nails on the plaque were gone, and only two nail eyes remained.
"Gone?"
"Hmm. However, it was obviously pried out, and there were fresh knife marks on the wood next to the nail eye. ”
As he spoke, he put his finger in front of the princess, and was opened by Mu Lan's hand next to him, glaring at him and saying, "In front of the princess, move your hands and feet!" ”
Yang Fuguang said aggrievedly: "I want to smell the princess, a fresh knife edge, so that you can smell the sandalwood fragrance." ”
The princess looked up at the place where the plaque was hung, and thoughtfully said:
This is probably the reason why my father wants to kill Yukun, he is just Wu Zhaoyi's scapegoat.
"Look, princess, isn't that it?" Mu Xiang kept looking down, and finally found this thing under the ginkgo biloba a few steps away.
Li Xuan'er took it, it was really half a nail, this is a half of the exposed wood, you can clearly see that the broken section is flat and neat, and most of it has been deliberately sawn off.
She held the nail in the palm of her hand, and without explaining it to Yang Fuguang, she said goodbye and returned to Xiyuan.
Li Xuan'er tried her best to control herself, so she didn't cry with joy: it turned out that Erlang's death was not an accident, let alone fate, this was someone who wanted to kill two birds with one stone, drown the second prince, and then lead the eldest prince to stand under the plaque and stone the eldest prince to death.
Even if he can't be killed, just because he is at the scene, the plaque falls, which is also a bad omen, and the brother will become an ominous person.
In his previous life, before the plaque fell, his father thought that the eldest brother failed to save his brother in time, which added a little disgust.
But all this is not as intense as the ecstasy in Li Xuan'er's heart, since it is not fate, then the father and the mother will not necessarily die early.
The joy came so suddenly, Xuan'er, who walked into the Mingyi Hall quickly, threw herself into her mother's arms and cried.
Chao Meiren was startled, she didn't know where her daughter was wronged, and she only slowly stroked her back. In the Celestial Empire, the daughter is considered to be on the thin side, but in her mother's heart, she is the most perfect girl in the world.
"It's okay, I just thought that Erlang died so wronged......"
Chao Meiren nodded and comforted her:
"Although your father is not particularly partial to Erlang on weekdays, this time he is gracious and ready to issue an edict to crown King Yong as Prince Jinghuai. It's a pity that he lost his mother early, and now he can go down with peace of mind, and the mother and son are reunited. ”
Wu Zhaoyi is Shiro's biological mother, and her father still takes care of his son's face after all and does not punish her.
But......
Li Xuan'er held the half of the nail in her palm tighter.
After a while, Li Wen hurried in, and he took the opportunity to report to his father about the preparations for the funeral, went around to his mother, and saw that his sister was also there, and just happened to tell him what he had handled.
Li Xuan'er was in a much better mood, and when she saw that her brother was doing things in a clear and comprehensive manner, she was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at Brother A, he suddenly remembered his master Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao's contribution to the change of his brother, fortunately, he will not go to the end of his previous life, I hope he can assist his brother and go further.
