Chapter 14: The Golden Bead in the Belly

"What."

"What?!"

Xiao Yang and Yu Wenjing said this sentence almost at the same time, and then they both went down to the attic.

The folding fan clearly said that he would not send someone to assassinate the people in the palace again, why did the dumb man still have an accident?

The slave who came to report the news knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Lord, I'm sorry, it's all the slaves who are not taking good care of it, and the body has been salvaged, and I ask the prince to make it clear how to deal with it." ”

Xiao Biao was in a hurry for a while, and actually grabbed in front of Yu Wenjing and said: "What else can I do, call someone to perform an autopsy, is it just burying a hundred?" ”

The slave was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Wenjing, who nodded and said, "Do as she said, call the autopsy, don't make too much noise." ”

"Yes."

The servant replied and left in a panic.

Xiao Biao frowned, and said in his heart: The purpose of the group of people who folded the fan to assassinate this mute was to suspect that she had something to do with the queen's mother's family, and then I confessed my identity, so I gave up, the dumb man died at this time, and he really just committed suicide by jumping into a well?

Yu Wenjing stared at Xiao Yang for a long time, and said, "I'm going to the side hall to investigate this matter, do you want to go together?" ”

Xiao Biao nodded, Dongfang Mu looked at these two people, spread his hands helplessly, and followed like a little tail.

Dongfang Mu laughed and inquired: "Big brother, there is just a crazy slave in the house, why can you work so hard, could it be that this little dumb girl has something to do with you?" ”

Yu Wenjing replied casually: "It has nothing to do with me, but maybe it has something to do with Loulan." ”

"Ahem...... Ahem! ”

Xiao Biao choked on his own saliva.

Loulan? This hat can't be buttoned casually, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Loulan!

Yu Wenjing glanced at Xiao Biao, didn't say much, the three of them walked to the side hall, and the servants and servants were already waiting there.

After bowing to the prince, he said: "Lord, the girl's body has been seen by the old decay, her face is dark, and she has a mouthful of black blood in her mouth, but she died of poisoning, but the specific poison still needs to be checked." ”

"Poisoned to death?" Xiao Biao turned to look at the kneeling slave next to him, and said, "Where did this poison come from, you said that you were responsible for taking care of her, so is there something wrong with her diet?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the words of the little lady. The slave said: "The minions' diet is not more expensive than that of the masters, they are all made in a big pot, and they are sent out in several parts, and the one of this dumb girl is taken and sent by me personally, and it is impossible to be poisonous." ”

Xiao Yang faintly had a bad premonition: "This matter is strange, I want to wait for the result with the prince, I don't know if it will work." ”

Yu Wenjing nodded.

The corners of Dongfang Mu's lips raised an evil smile, and said: "This palace is really interesting, poisoning everyone has to be thrown into the well, but how tight is this little dumb slave's mouth, and he can still bite a mouthful of black blood after such a toss?" ”

Yu Wenjing looked at Dongfang Mu, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes.

Dongfang Mu immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, the past has already passed, and it makes me feel embarrassed that you look at me like this." ”

Yu Wenjing retracted his gaze, but Xiao Yang blinked his eyes and asked, "What happened in the past?" What's up? ”

Dongfang Mu shook his head helplessly, sat down and whispered slowly: "It's nothing, it's just that when my mother died, she also had a mouthful of black blood in her mouth, and it took a lot of energy to flow out." ”

Xiao Biao seemed to realize that his problem was a bit excessive, so he immediately added: "I'm sorry for causing you to be sad." ”

"What the little lady said, this is not a sad thing." Dongfang Mu smiled and said with relish: "He is my adoptive mother, not my own mother, you must know me as my adoptive mother, she is the tenth princess of the first emperor......

"Ten princesses?" Xiao Biao thought about it carefully and said, "I remember that she was very kind-hearted and always took in some priceless children, but didn't she go to Dongying to reconcile a few years ago, how could she die?" ”

Dongfang Mu held his cheek with one hand, and said lightly: "My mother died on the boat that went to Dongying and relatives, and I was there when I sent my relatives, and the night before we arrived at our destination, it rained very much, and on the third watch, my mother's maid hurriedly went to tell the ministers who sent my relatives that my mother was gone......"

"We searched frantically on that big boat, and we didn't find it for a long time, until the next day...... at dawn" Dongfang Mu's expression was too soft, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "We found that my mother was tied by a rope and hung on the outside of the boat, and her whole body was soaked in water, revealing only a pair of hands tied by ropes. ”

"Everyone was terrified, and they didn't know what was going on, or if the captain reminded me to fish my mother up first, what was the use of fishing, my mother was only a cold corpse. His cheeks are darkened and his lips are tightly closed. ”

Dongfang Mu knocked on the table twice, and continued lazily: "Later, I wasted a lot of energy and opened my mother's mouth, and she had a mouthful of black blood in her mouth so tightly, just like what she said just now. On that day on the ship, the dead princess was small, and the relatives were big, and the Dongying people had never seen the ten princesses of the Lan Dynasty, so several old ministers discussed, and married my mother's maid as the tenth princess to the Dongying people......"

After the story was told, Dongfang Mu laughed and said: "It sounds like a book, and then this matter can't be quiet, a few old ministers quietly contacted Your Majesty and buried my mother, and this matter is over, Yu Wenjing is always afraid that I will be sad and don't let me mention it, I feel so boring." ”

Xiao Yang thought about it, the tenth princess was not Dongfang Mu's mother after all, and it was not surprising that he behaved like this.

Xiao Yang pondered for a moment, and still asked, "That'...... What other characteristics does your mother have besides that mouthful of black blood......"

"Yes." Dongfang Mu pointed to his stomach and said, "My mother has a full ten gold beads in her stomach, about the size of her thumb belly, and my mother's body has been left for a long time, and those beads have seeped out of her body." ”

Xiao Biao fell into deep thought: If you say this, if this dumb man's stomach is ......

Just thinking about it, Qi Zuo walked out of the room where the autopsy was performed, knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, the old man has been examined, and the deceased's organs are not obviously damaged, but they ...... There was a foreign object in his abdomen, and the old decay took it out, and found that it was actually made of pure gold. ”

As he spoke, he took out a gold bead, the gold bead was extremely exquisite, the center was hollowed out, the outer layer of the bead was carved with golden dragon auspicious clouds, and the inner layer was engraved with something like a demon beast and a ghost, Xiao Yang didn't know what kind of monster those were.

While watching, the three of them all gasped, as Dongfang Mu said, could it be that this matter is still related to the death of the tenth princess?

Yu Wenjing sighed and said, "Send the corpse to Yizhuang, take out all the gold beads, and tell you immediately if you find anything." ”

He kowtowed and said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Biao silently recorded the appearance of the golden ball in his heart, and was ready to find a time to ask what the golden ball of the folding fan was.
