Chapter 138: The Unacceptable Truth
The candle flame in the patriarch's house was still on, and there was something strange in this dark place, as if it was deliberately hiding something.
"Bang-"
Ling Duan kicked open the door of the patriarch's house at the behest of Baili Junyu, and the door fell to the ground, originally they wanted to knock on the door, but they found that the lock was locked from the outside, and they suddenly felt bad.
With such a big movement, no one in the house responded, and everyone was a little puzzled, Baili Junyu stepped in and first looked around, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he walked to the inner room.
As soon as he stepped into the inner room, a strong smell of drugs rushed to Baili Junyu's brain, and he quickly reacted and covered his mouth and nose, and the two people who had followed him for many years naturally understood and also covered their mouths and noses.
His vision was slightly obscured by the white mist, and he kept waving his arms to clear the smoke from beside him, and slowly moved towards the room.
——
Han Weixi sat in the carriage in a daze, and before evening, Zhao Yuxi hurriedly took her away as if he had received some news.
"Twilight, why are we leaving so early, I haven't said goodbye to Aze yet."
"There's something going on in the queen mother in the imperial city, and I need to solve it, good, won't you be able to see you all the time in the future?"
Zhao Yuxi whispered to comfort Han Weixi, who was disgruntled, and fell on the letter sent in the evening.
Somehow he was a little uneasy, it stands to reason that the queen mother has nothing difficult to do on weekdays, even if there is something, she will solve it by herself, why do you have to hurry up and let him go back?
He had doubted the authenticity of the letter, but the handwriting and secret notes matched, so he also put his mind at ease, maybe she really had something tricky?
Holding Han Weixi in her arms, Zhao Yuxian put all her thoughts on her body, and didn't feel that anything was missing in her body at all.
The carriage was a little bumpy, and Han Weixi was also moving around in Zhao Weixi's arms, which made him unbearable, so he imprisoned her moving body and buried her head in her shoulder, which made Han Weixi stiffen instantly.
"You... What are you going to do..."
Han Weixi, who is usually tough, was a little flustered at this moment, there were only the two of them in this carriage, and Leng Jue, who was driving the car, would not pay attention to any movement when she heard it, wouldn't it be that she was now a sheep?
"I, I'm telling you, it's not okay!"
She simply mustered up the courage to grit her teeth and close her eyes to warn Zhao Yu, but she felt the loosening of the confinement, and also heard the voice in her ears: "What can't you?" You think beautifully! ”
This tone seemed to be Han Weixi wanting to take advantage of him, so angry she puffed out her cheeks and turned around like a hamster.
——
"It's done, don't thank me."
The black-robed man went to see Gao for the last time, and then she was shrewd to find that the jade pendant on his body had been replaced with a piece of bright white, but the handwriting was a little blurry.
Before she could react, the black-robed man disappeared again, and Gao was not in the mood to guess who he was, so he only searched in his mind for the handwriting he had just seen.
She seems... Seeing that there were only two horizontal lines, she didn't know if it was a name or a symbol.
He just said that the matter was done, so isn't it...
Gao's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his lips hooked, and he walked in one direction in the dark.
——
When Baili Junyu approached the bedside, he found that there were three people lying there, the patriarch he knew, but he had never seen the women and children beside him.
At this moment, the three of them were all pale and had no sense of breath, and Baili Jun Yu first put his hand on the patriarch's neck, his fingertips were cold, and his heart chuckled.
Then it was placed on the woman's pulse, which seemed to have stopped beating, and there was more sadness in her deep eyes.
Finally, there was the child, he mustered up a strong courage, held back the trembling all over, he didn't want even the child to leave the world like that, and finally breathed a sigh of relief under his careful investigation.
"Quick, antidote!"
He commanded in a deep voice, then stretched out his hand to the person beside him, and soon there was an extra black pill in his hand, and he forcefully opened the child's mouth and let him eat it.
When he was not awake, Baili Junyu first checked the surroundings, and there was nothing wrong, not even the window had turned over, so he subconsciously looked up, but found an open skylight.
Launching his internal force into the air, he jumped to the roof, squatted down to check the traces of the broken tiles, which were all pointing in one direction, and he secretly noted down that direction, and dealt with the situation in front of him first.
Back in the room, the child had not woken up yet, but ushered in an uninvited guest.
Gao led a group of people to break in, she looked at the Baili Junyu who was sitting upright, was a little puzzled, and asked loudly: "Who are you!" Why is it in my husband's room? ”
Before Baili Junyu could speak, Ling Duan on the side couldn't help but scold this bold woman: "Presumptuous! Zhao Xiguo's royal lord is also what you dare to provoke! ”
Lord Yu, Gao was suddenly a little dumbfounded, this person can be said to be famous all over the world, everyone knows it, but few people have seen it.
Why is he here?
Regardless of the reason for Baili Jun's coming, just because of his identity, the Gao family softened.
Suddenly, he remembered what was going on again, so he hurriedly beckoned to the people behind him: "Quick, go see the patriarch." ”
When they went to check, Gao lowered his voice and explained to Baili Junyu: "I received news this evening that an assassin wanted my husband's life, although I don't know why the prince is here, but this matter must have nothing to do with you. ”
The Gao clan naturally didn't dare to offend this one, she didn't want the entire Guli clan to be buried together.
Although Baili Junyu was a little puzzled why the patriarch and the woman were dead, he didn't care too much, after all, his purpose was not them, but...
"I heard that the prince and Miss Han are here, where do they live?"
The first half of the sentence was polite, and the second half of the sentence was impatient to ask, but Gao still replied flatteringly.
"Ask the people of the clan when I get there, and they may know."
At this time, the person who checked quickly walked back, still holding the unconscious Aze, he only felt dizzy in his head, and he couldn't even stand on his body.
The moment Gao Shi saw him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and this subtle expression was quickly captured by Baili Junyu, but he didn't know their relationship, so he couldn't judge her thoughts.
"Oh no, the patriarch and both of them are dead!"
"What!"
Gao's pupils widened rapidly, and then quickly pounced on Gu Yu, who was already slightly cold, and cried: "Husband! Why did you leave me alone! Although you are going to divorce me, our love is still there! ”
She cried a miserable cry, and covered up her non-existent tears with a handkerchief.
At the moment of hugging, she felt a hard object in Gu Yu's chest, and she couldn't help but have some doubts, so she reached out and took a look, but she was a little surprised.
Isn't this the purple jade pendant she once saw on the black-robed man?
At this moment, she naturally saw clearly what was written on it, it was clearly a sacrificial word.
In an instant, she understood what the man meant, and the corners of her lips curled into a triumphant smile.
She didn't say anything at first, quickly calmed down, turned to Baili Junyu and asked, "Does the prince know whose jade pendant this is?" ”
Saying that, he handed it to him, Baili Junyu didn't want to touch that thing, so he motioned for Ling to take it, and the purple color appeared in front of him, which he was very familiar with.
That jade pendant often appears on Zhao Yu's body, but it was a pair of jade duels given to him by the emperor and the second prince, how did it fall here...
"Where did you find this?"
Although he didn't want to talk to a woman like Gao, Baili Junyu still had to ask.
"This is what I found in my husband's arms, and there are still traces of blood on it, which must have been pulled from the thief's body!"
The more Gao spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to find out the murderer at this moment.
And Aze on the side gradually sobered up, silently listening to their conversation, and seemed to understand something...
Without everyone noticing, he slowly approached the two familiar but cold corpses, his eyes were empty, his little hand hesitated for a long time but did not dare to stretch out, and there was a bright red bloodshot on his mother's snow-white neck.
"Does the prince know whose jade pendant this is?"
The Gao family pretended not to know, and he must let Baili Junyu say it himself, after all, only if he recognized the identity of this jade pendant, he would not be suspected.
Ling Duan glanced at Baili Junyu's indifferent expression, and knew that he didn't want to care about these things, so he naturally recognized the jade pendant, so he spoke for him.
"This jade pendant belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
This sentence was like a shocking thunder, booming in Aze's mind, he smiled stiffly, and finally glanced at his mother who had closed his eyes, and ran out desperately.
The night hid his pain, but he couldn't hide his tears and roars, and he ran desperately to Sister Hee's residence.
How he wished to see the flickering candles in the night, how he wished to see their confused expressions, and how he wanted to hear with his own ears that the deaths of his mother and father had nothing to do with them.
Even if he explained a word, he would believe it.
But reality gave him the final blow, and the room was so dim that it was barely visible in the night, and he barely managed to find it by feeling and falling to the point that his knees were bloody.
His trembling body was powerless to push open the hidden door, and he didn't have to step into it at all, the pitch-black inside of the room already said it all.
Aze's eyes gradually turned scarlet, and his once clear eyes could no longer see, and he didn't want to believe that all this had something to do with his sister Xi and brother Zhao.
His favorite mother and father, who had just been found, worshipped their ancestors together in the afternoon, and he was finally a true member of the Guli tribe.
After all, all this beautiful thing was swallowed up by darkness, and not even a trace of light was gone.
There was silence around him, only the chirping of insects, and the sound of small footsteps came from nowhere.
A dark shadow shrouded Aze, and he looked up weakly to see the black-robed man covering his face.
"I can make you strong until you are the murderer, and from this day forward, I will change your name to Strike."
