Chapter Seventy-Seven: Meridian Liu
The rain fell from the eaves on the bluestone slabs, as if to spread the chill to the ground, freezing people's toes cold.
The little monk was cat, his bare head was a little shiny, and his immature cheeks were tightly pressed against the door, looking at people through the cracks in the door.
The host stood behind him with his hands folded, with a bitter face, looking at the little monk's sneaky appearance, and sighed helplessly.
It's also a monk anyway, so what does it look like to be sneaky like this?
"Master, they seem to be gone." The little monk listened for a while, then closed one eye and looked carefully.
The host opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw two people coming in from the wall on the side, it was Yan Sen and Wei Yun.
The two of them landed lightly, Wei Yun glanced around casually, there was no one in the temple, only a monk in the distance was cleaning the courtyard, which was different from the incense in the past.
Yan Sen pulled the little monk's ear.
"Ahh The little monk maintained a bent posture and shouted with bared teeth.
Regardless of whether the little monk could keep up or not, Yan Sen pulled the little monk's ears and walked quickly to the host's side.
"Presiding over a big shelf." Yan Sen chuckled, but the strength in his hand became heavier and heavier.
Sister Chuntang didn't dare to move, but he didn't have the slightest pity for this little monk.
Wei Yun looked at this pair lightly and did not say anything to stop it.
The little monk cast a look for help at his master, looked at the apprentice's ears that were gradually reddening, presided over a period of distress, and saluted Wei Yun respectfully: "Donor, I'm afraid I haven't had breakfast yet, what's the matter, let's have a cup of tea first, eat a bowl of rice and talk slowly." ”
Wei Yun nodded: "It's okay." ”
Looking at Yan Sen, he still refused to let go, pulling the little monk's ear and following Wei Yun towards the temple.
The host's face trembled, and he walked up quickly, stopped in front of Wei Yun, and saluted: "Donor, let the disciples go first, the Buddha is important, so that the Buddha can see that it is not good." ”
Wei Yun didn't plan to cling to it, she came to investigate the case this time, just give a punishment, there is no need to offend people.
glanced at Yan Sen, walked to the backyard wing, and asked as he walked, "When did the temple close, and who let it close?" ”
The presiding officer sent his disciples down to prepare the meal.
"It was sealed yesterday, and the person who sealed the door was Prime Minister Yu."
The daughter of the future crown princess and prime minister was poisoned in the temple, even if he didn't want to seal it, he had to seal it, and he felt a pain when he thought that the incense money was gone in the past few days.
The three of them came to the wing room where Wei Yun lived last time, and the persimmon tree in the courtyard shook its branches and leaves happily.
Wei Yun stopped and took a look, the cold wind blew, and she smoothed her hair.
The sun hid behind thick clouds, and there was no bright light, and the whole sky was gray, and this was the first time in spring.
The host cautiously raised his eyes to look at Wei Yun's back, and saw her stepping into the chamber again, and hurriedly followed.
The little monk brought the tea, timidly glanced at Yan Sen who was standing behind Wei Yun, and whispered, "Master, the back kitchen is preparing for fasting." ”
The host raised his eyes and secretly looked at the attitude of the girl in front of him, and saw that the girl looked flat and lowered her head to play with the paper fan in her hand. A white mist rose from the tea on the table.
The presiding officer opened his mouth to ask tentatively: "What is the so-called matter of the donor's visit to the temple this time?" ”
Wei Yun raised her head and glanced at it, picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling the slight aftertaste on the tip of her tongue, before she asked rhetorically: "The host locked me out, will you know?" ”
Put your hands together on your chest and don't speak.
Wei Yun glanced at him lightly and asked, "Were there any suspicious people on the day of the accident?" After a pause, he said: "The host thinks about it carefully, after all, the food in your temple is really refreshing, and even the prime minister's daughter ate more on the day of the accident." ”
The host looked at her in shock, and then turned into anger, Ji Lingling shivered, and in a blink of an eye, his back was soaked, his face was full of folds twisted together, and the corners of his mouth trembled and he couldn't speak for a while.
Wei Yun was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and lowered her head to play with the paper fan.
After a while, the host said with a trembling voice: "Miss Yu came to the temple with her subordinates, and all daily life is served by her subordinates. ”
Seeing Wei Yun staring at herself, the host's face trembled, and she said, "Then there is Miss Yu's sister." ”
"Gone?"
The host raised his eyes to look at Wei Yun and said tentatively: "There is also you, the donor." ”
The fasting rice in Kaiyuan Temple is indeed delicious, and Yan Sen ate five bowls before stopping.
"Girl, it is said that the incense of Kaiyuan Temple is so hot, in addition to praying for blessings, it is this fast, which is a big income of the temple."
"How do you know?"
"My master said it."
The old host's face trembled three times, and he closed his eyes and whispered the scriptures in his mouth.
Wei Yun chuckled lightly, raised her eyes and looked at the persimmon tree in the yard, thoughtful.
The leaves fell from the rain, and the drizzle fell silently on the green leaves, Lin Mo took a sip of tea, looked at the small pavilion ventilated on all sides and said, "Miss Yu just woke up last night, you should pay attention to your body." ”
Yu Zhen added tea in his hands, his face was pale and his lips were pale, which was different from the spirit of the past, but his spirit was not at all like the depression that he knew that he could not conceive an heir.
Usually if a woman knows that she can't conceive an heir, she can't keep her breath and goes without coming up, and she will cry for a few days at most, and her eyes are swollen like two eggs, how can she come out to see a guest the next day when she just wakes up, not to mention this kind of girl who is raised in a deep boudoir, and her body bones are even more expensive.
She wore a pale pink blue Ruiyun skirt, her hair was draped behind her casually, and a few strands of hair fell down to cover some of her eyebrows, she smiled softly, but there was not much smile in her eyes: "Thank you Major General Lin for worrying, don't get in the way." ”
Lin Mo nodded and glanced at the maid behind him.
She whispered to the maid behind her, "Ah Zhen, you go down first." ”
The maid behind him glanced at Major General Lin, and when he saw that he turned his gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head and retreated.
Yu Zhen tightened his clothes, looked at a corner of the courtyard, and said, "Major General Laurin, let's ask whatever you want." ”
Lin Mo put down the teacup, nodded and asked, "Miss Yu, is there anyone who is suspicious, or has she offended anyone?" ”
Yu Zhen looked into the distance and shook his head.
Lin Mo asked again: "Then who was around Miss Yu on the day she was poisoned?" ”
She retracted her gaze, sighed lightly, and said lightly: "On that day, I wanted to take the kitten to the back mountain to bury it, and Xiao Zhen went with me to ......"
Lin Mo opened his mouth to interrupt her: "Xiao Zhen is the maid just now?" ”
Yu Zhen nodded and said "yes"
"Where is the kitten's corpse?"
"In a wooden box."
There was a booklet on the stone table, an inkstone, Lin Mo glanced at her, motioned her to continue, and took the pen to record in the booklet.
"I was a little dizzy before I walked to the door with the wooden box, I thought it was too sad this morning and I didn't care much, I stood in place for a while before I felt better, and then I forced myself to walk to the door and was dizzy for a while, and my chest was out of breath."
Lin Mo stared at Yu Zhen for a while, seeing that her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she remembered the events before she fainted that day.
"What about Ah Zhen? What was she doing when you were dizzy, and what was she doing when you fainted. ”
Yu Zhen frowned and thought about it, and said uncertainly: "When I was dizzy, I didn't pay much attention to it and didn't tell her, when I fainted, I ......" She raised her hand and touched the back of her head, even if it had been a day, the swollen blood hurt her heart when she touched it lightly.
She put down her hand, inserted a few tassels in her fingertips, and shook her head: "I fainted at that time, I don't know what Ah Zhen was doing, but I think I should be calling someone." ”
After Lin Mo finished writing the last one, he put down the brush and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Yu for your cooperation." ”
Yu Zhen shook his head, pinched one sleeve and stretched out his hand to add tea for him, and said softly: "It should be me who thank Major General Lin, Major General Lao Lin bothered about this matter." ”
Lin Mo shook his head and said modestly: "I am also acting on orders, and I can't afford to be so polite to Miss Yu." ”
Lin Mo took the booklet into his arms, these were all evidence, played with the teacup with his fingertips, and raised his eyes to look at Yu Zhen.
She seemed to be a little absent-minded, and looked at a certain place in the courtyard several times, and followed her gaze, where there was only a small bamboo forest, which was more and more verdant by the rain.
"Miss Yu's body, what did the imperial doctor say after seeing it?"
Yu Zhen squinted, and his dark eyes flashed: "The imperial doctor said that the poison in me is quite complicated, and I can't find a way to detoxify it for a while, so I only let me take medicine according to the prescription given by the imperial doctor to keep the root." ”
Lin Mo glanced at the small bamboo forest again, and asked without moving, "Did Miss Yu have any hidden diseases before?" ”
Yu Zhen glanced at him in surprise, and when he saw that his eyes were clear, he shook his head and said, "No." ”
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and sniffed the fragrance of tea gently: "Did Miss Yu take any medicine before?" ”
"No, I didn't." She paused and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I can't conceive an heir now, I don't know if it counts?" ”
Lin Mo saw her looking down at the embroidery on her cuffs, the few strands of hair hanging down to cover her eyebrows, and she couldn't see her expression, as if she was dark, and her eyes were hiding in the dark and watching everything.
She cut her hair, exposed her eyes, and was a little annoyed: "Did I have a hidden disease before, which is also needed to investigate the case?" ”
Lin Mo bowed his hand and pleaded: "I can't suppress the curiosity in my heart for a while, and I ask for forgiveness if there is any transgression." ”
She jerked her head up, her fanned eyelashes flashing, and there seemed to be anger in her eyes, or ...... Grieved? Lin Mo couldn't see it clearly for a while.
"Curious?"
Lin Mo nodded, staring at those eyes.
"I just went to see Imperial Doctor Chen, and he told me that there is a medicine called Ziwuliu, and if a woman takes this medicine, her body will be injured and she will not be able to conceive an heir."
Yu Zhen lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, and his fingers hooked a few strands of hair behind his ears: "What does this have to do with whether I have a hidden disease?" Then he came to his senses, and his expression suddenly turned cold, "What do you mean, I can't conceive an heir because I ate that meridian by myself?" ”
Lin Mo glanced at her and apologized: "It's wrong, Miss Yu don't take it to heart." ”
