Chapter 53: Clues
The light was dim, the candle flame was extinguished, and a figure on the side of the stone wall could be faintly seen.
Up close, it was a woman, with chains on her feet and her face as pale as paper.
Gu Beichen stood still in front of the woman and looked at her condescendingly.
"Aunt Feng, long time no see."
The long-lost title made the woman on the ground react. Then he opened his eyes and looked directly at Gu Beichen above his head.
“…… Shizi. ”
Gu Beichen chuckled lightly and said slowly: "It's rare that my aunt still remembers me." ”
Aunt Feng said with a smile: "After many years, the style of the prince is better than before." ”
Gu Beichen didn't answer, but said, "Auntie's ability to hide her whereabouts impresses me. ”
"It's a pity that it's still a bad move."
"I want to make a deal with my aunt."
Aunt Feng raised her eyebrows, and she had already guessed most of them in her heart.
"What deal does the prince want to make with me?"
"Auntie is a smart person, I don't think I need to say more." Gu Beichen said unhurriedly.
Aunt Feng naturally knew Gu Beichen's purpose.
He stayed here for days and no one cared, what did he want?
"The prince might as well tell me about it."
"Nanling, Feng family."
Gu Beichen's answer was simple and clear.
Aunt Feng narrowed her eyes and said, "The son of the world is a good means!" ”
"I sincerely want to make a deal with my aunt."
"What does Shizi want to know?"
"Who is the person behind Gu Zheng? Why did my aunt fake her death back then? And the real cause of my mother's death. ”
Gu Beichen's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something inconsequential.
Aunt Feng knew Gu Beichen's methods very well, and he said that the Feng family, it seemed that it was inevitable.
"Gu Zheng has been communicating with a mysterious person in Kyoto, and I really don't know who it is. When he was defeated, he wanted to kill me, so I had to do what I planned. As for the cause of the princess's death, maybe the old prince knows the truth. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"After the death of the princess, the old prince's attitude towards Gu Zheng gradually became cold, which may be related to the death of the princess."
After the words fell, Gu Beichen turned around and left the dark prison.
Seeing Gu Beichen come out, Gu Feng took a step forward.
"Shizi, how is the situation?"
"Go back and say, did grandfather wake up?"
Gu Feng shook his head.
"Is there any news of Shopkeeper Cao?"
"Shopkeeper Cao has not heard from him yet."
Gu Beichen said "um", and then said: "Give her two bottles of wound medicine, and by the way, tell her that if you want the Feng Clan's incense to continue, don't go back to Dayue." ”
"Yes."
After breakfast, Wange took Qinglan to Juyuan.
Walking into Ji's house, a strong smell of medicine greeted him. Zhishu just finished serving and took medicine in time, and Wan Ge asked.
"Third aunt, are you better?"
Ji didn't expect the evening song to come.
"It's still the same."
"Third aunt, I have something to say to you."
Ji Shi instructed Zhishu to step back, and then said, "Say it." ”
"There seems to be something wrong with the third aunt's illness."
Ji Shi Zhengse said: "How do you say this? ”
"I think the third aunt was poisoned."
"What's the poison?"
"Rouge drunkenness is the same as the symptoms of wind and cold, but it will eventually kill people."
Ji Shi listened, and his eyes froze.
"Is the third aunt's illness different from the past?"
"The disease did come suddenly, and I was a little caught off guard."
"How many days has it been?"
"Five days."
"If you are poisoned, your face will be red for seven days. I have a pill here, and my face will return to normal the next day after taking it. The third aunt only needs to take it to know if what I said is true or false. ”
