Chapter 40: Seeking Medicine
On the heartless tower, the night breeze is slow, and I am drunk. The rising moon on Wuxin Lake is fully embedded in the night sky like a sea of ink and blue silk, the glow is cold, faintly revealing the blue and white jade color, and when the wind blows, the lake surface is cracked into countless tiny broken silver, which is very dazzling.
Xiao Mochen's eyes seemed to reflect this ten thousand pieces of silver light, his eyes were full of cold stars, and he was as cold as frost: "Broken? How could a good clue be broken? ”
Nameless was blown by the wind in a black robe, he reached out and pulled his collar and turned to Xiao Mochen, "I just found the Xiliang witch Wei Ruolan, she is good at disguise, and she entered the Thousand Paintings Pavilion incognito, and she jumped out right under our noses." If it weren't for the crow's mark on her arm, I'm afraid no one would know that the weak Qianqian, Chu Chu and poor Ling'er in the Thousand Paintings Pavilion were the bloodthirsty, cruel and unscrupulous witches in Xiliang. ”
"What does this have to do with her?" Xiao Mochen interrupted him.
"She brought the poison to Woman Chen. However, she has no grievances with Miss Li, and the reason why she did this must be because someone behind her instructions. Unfortunately, when we first found her, she had already been killed. ”
"Extinguish?" Xiao Mochen squinted, habitually rubbing the purse on his waist, today's purse is also newly replaced, the texture is very good, suddenly, stopped what he was doing, and asked: "Xiliang witch is not an ordinary three-sect and nine-rate, it is already incredible that someone can make her move, and it is even more incredible to kill her silently." Are you sure that the person who was exterminated was the Xiliang Witch? ”
Originally, Nameless was very confident, and after listening to Xiao Mochen's words, he hesitated slightly: "Indeed, no one has seen Wei Rulan's true face, and the crow pattern on her arm is also easy to forge, and the bone erosion on her body may have been put by herself, deliberately disturbing our sight to get out, it is really insidious and cunning!" Nameless slapped the railing hard and said through gritted teeth.
The moon is very round tonight, and the stars in the sky surround the full moon, wrapping Jinling City in a layer of faint and soft light, Xiao Mochen looked at the bright moon and said casually: "This king is becoming more and more interested in the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
"Give the Pavilion Master two days, and everything will fall into place."
Xiao Mochen raised his forehead, and suddenly, he remembered Lu Feng's words again, and only said a few words to Nameless about Liyu's poisoning, and asked him to start investigating together.
Nameless was stunned at first, someone could reach out to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was even more incredible than the matter of the Xiliang witch.
Then, he burst out laughing, and the laughter was a little terrifying at the moment because of the mask. He took the Nanyang jade bone fan and tapped Xiao Mochen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The pavilion master thinks that Your Highness, you are becoming more and more inseparable from me." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Mochen's mouth twitched, he didn't smile with a strained face, nor was he angry, he only sneered, and then said namelessly: "If the pavilion master is willing to take off the mask and treat this king calmly, this king will be even more inseparable from you." ”
"Don't! The master of this pavilion is not as good as Longyang, His Royal Highness does not need to be separated from the master of this pavilion, it is enough for the two of us to get along like this. Nameless suddenly put away his hippie smile and said seriously: "Your Highness doesn't need to repeatedly spy on the identity of the Pavilion Master, Your Highness just needs to remember that the Pavilion Master will never be unfavorable to His Highness." ”
Xiao Mochen looked at Nameless, trying to see his heart clearly through his expression, but he couldn't see through anything except the cold and shining mask.
Oh, you can't be honest with each other, how can you talk about sincerity.
Turning his head, Xiao Mochen put his hands behind his back, let the wind blow his clothes, and looked at the lake expressionlessly.
If you can, who doesn't want to walk calmly in the sun, the mask is always cold, isolating all truth and trust.
However, His Royal Highness has always had reservations about him, but in the future, he will prove his heart with his actions.
"It's getting late, the lord of this pavilion will send His Highness back to his house." Seeing Xiao Mochen's unhappy look, Nameless ended tonight's conversation with interest.
"Wasn't it here that Your Highness was assassinated last time? Baili North is not here today, and if he does not personally send His Highness back, the pavilion master is not at ease. ”
Xiao Mochen smiled faintly, did not shirk, and only said: "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first." ”
After saying that, he went downstairs by himself, leaving Nameless to shake his head in the back.
Tut-tut, a man who falls in love is really terrible, and a man who has opened meat is even more terrible, and he only wanted to stick to it again after only an hour of separation.
Suddenly, Nameless put away his smile, turned the fan twice, and followed him down the stairs.
is a fallen man at the end of the world, why should he laugh at a hundred steps with fifty steps.
The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless.
"What's wrong with Uncle Gu?" Li Yu asked as he stepped out of the mansion.
"The leg typhoid fever is so severe that he can barely walk on the ground, and he said that it is unlucky to let the doctor run to the house, so he went to the hospital." Chaser put down Mazazi and replied.
Uncle Gu is approaching the age of sixties this year, and it is difficult for him.
Li Yu sat in the carriage and said to Zhuying, who was picking up the horse rope and preparing to drive, "When Uncle Gu's leg injury is healed, let him rest at the old man's house." ”
"Yes."
At this moment, it is the time of Mao, and it is the most lively time of Suzaku Street.
Some workers got up early to rush to work, rolling up their sleeves like headless flies, and some officials rushed to enter the palace, and the carriages were bigger than the other.
This kind of sound is mixed together, and Shadow feels like his brain is about to explode.
I'm irritable and glad at the same time, but fortunately, the Prime Minister's Mansion falls at the very top, and you don't have to go through this Suzaku Street to enter the palace on weekdays, this street is really crowded.
"Shadow Chase."
Before the shadow wandered, Li Yu's cold voice came out through the sky gray curtain: "How long is it?" ”
Liyu's voice was eager and unhappy.
"Master, this road is too blocked, I'm afraid I won't be able to go fast for a while." The voice of the shadow became smaller and smaller, and the head of the black crow in front of him was like a sea of people in the book, looking at him in horror.
Suddenly, there was a bump in the back of the car, and when he turned his head, Li Yu had already lifted the curtain and shouted "stop".
Chaseige hurriedly pulled the horse rope up, and "called" for a long time before the carriage stopped.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Yu jumped out of the carriage with his robe, and Chase Shadow also jumped down.
"Put the carriage aside and walk as it is."
"Yes."
Chasei's answer cleanly. The front is jammed like this, it is better to walk. He finally knew why, in the early dynasty, those officials were darker than the other, and they had to climb mountains and wade through rivers to change who was happy.
In the time of his distraction, Chaying had caught up with the pace of leaving the feather.
Suddenly, two men walked out of the crowd of black crows, led by men dressed in brocade clothes, jade crowns and hair, handsome faces, slender figures, and aristocratic temperament. Standing there, it is like standing out from the crowd, the son of the gods, very eye-catching.
Li Yu saw the extravagant Xiao Mochen at a glance.
Xiao Mochen was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other and got closer, although they came in different directions, they could be regarded as having the same destination.
"What? Xiangye, who has always been conscientious and dedicated, escaped from the early dynasty again? Xiao Mochen and Li Yu quipped side by side.
Li Yu was not annoyed when he heard this, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "What?" His Royal Highness King Chen is envious that the minister can face the holy early dynasty, and His Royal Highness is just an idle prince, and there is no chance to skip work. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Mochen didn't react, but Xiaobei behind him swept away the previous decadence, his eyes widened, he was angry, pursed his mouth, and scolded in his heart: Separation is really not a thing, I can't speak to a degree, and I am not afraid of being bored. What's so rare about the face saint, my master doesn't want to see the emperor's stinky face. Every time I see him, no matter whether anyone is present or not, he has to sneer and poke his heart every word, if he really hates this son so much, why bother to call him back.
Xiaobei was extremely indignant in his heart, his face was red with anger, while Xiao Mochen looked light-hearted, laughed dryly, and then asked Xiang Liyu: "Aren't you curious, how did the wicked man get into the hands of an unknown prostitute in the Jinling male prostitution hall with the white ginseng that happened once in a thousand years?" ”
Li Yu didn't reply, with a cold face, and just walked straight towards the Wanqing Pavilion. Why aren't you curious, when Mu Yan told him about the whereabouts of the white ginseng last night, he was always shocked, in addition to curiosity, he was more worried, in case the white ginseng was used, what should his Xiao Wan do?
Thinking of this, Li Yu quickened his pace and replied absentmindedly: "Everything will be known when I see that person." ”
Li Yu was as anxious as fire, but Xiao Mochen was calm.
He was sure that the white ginseng was still in the hands of that person, and he was even more sure that the person would hand over the white ginseng to Liyu, just to talk about the conditions and get the benefits.
Keeping up with Liyu's pace, Xiao Mochen sneered in his heart.
There are too many people in Jinling City.
went to the carriage, Xiao Mochen and a group of people copied the path, and soon arrived at the Wanqing Pavilion.
Fenghua places are generally doing business at night, and at this time in the past, the Wanqing Pavilion has not yet opened to meet customers, but today it opened early, as if it was waiting for them on purpose.
As soon as he thought of the rumors made by the people for the Nine Emperor Princes, the faces of the group of people outside changed color.
But this is not that time, the safety of Lige is the first priority, face or something, it doesn't matter.
As if thinking of it, Xiao Mochen and Li Yubu stepped in together, Xiaobei didn't say a word, took the knife in his hand, and walked in.
Chaser retreated. Things have to be taken, Xiangye's face must be kept, and clearing the field is also important.
As soon as I entered, the owner of the pavilion, who was dressed up completely different from last time, immediately greeted me.
As soon as he heard the intention of the audience, he was not surprised, and he led them to Chen Li's room in a good voice.
Chen Li's makeup at the moment is not like the last time I saw it, with sharp edges and deep eyes, a little less feminine and a little more tough.
The slightly upturned eyes looked at them with a smile, and then saluted them lazily: "Xiaosheng has seen all the adults. ”
"Do you know what I'm waiting for?" Liyu asked.
Chen Li stood up straight, his beautiful eyes bent, and said, "Naturally, I know that the Wood Protector looked for Xiaosheng last night." ”
"That's the case, to make a long story short, is the white ginseng still there?"
"It's still there, I'll still give it, but I'll give it." Chen Li paused, looked at Xiao Mochen and said, "The white ginseng can be taken away now, but Xiaosheng has one condition." ”
Xiao Mochen raised his eyebrows and sarcastically hooked the corners of his mouth.
As expected!
