Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Third Corpse
As soon as the autumn season passes, the weather turns cooler quickly, but in a few days, the autumn leaves on the trees turn yellow and the temperature cools.
Early this morning, Wang Baoming took Rue Xiang to the Nanjun Palace.
Rue Xiang held two pieces of clothes in his hand, one black and one white, and the fine Shu brocade satin was inlaid with a snow fox collar. Wang Baoming looked at He Jingying and said gently: "A-Ying, I have been here for the past few days, and you are not in the house, so I came here early in the morning today." I heard from the palace that Zhaoye was already on his way back to the court. This is the clothes I made for you and Zhaoye, and you can see that it is still to your heart's content. ”
Originally, he went out early and returned late every day to avoid Wang Baoming to intercede with Xu Wanyu, but now Wang Baoming doesn't look angry at all, which makes He Jingying embarrassed, feeling that she is spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
He Jingying hurriedly personally held tea for Wang Baoming and said respectfully: "It's the daughter-in-law who is not filial, and I haven't gone to the prince's mansion to see my mother in the past few days, but I let my mother come to me first, which is rude." ”
Wang Baoming shook his head: "Where to talk about what etiquette is not polite." Your father is the most old-fashioned, and I don't care about that. Wang Baoming took another piece of clothing from Rue Xiang's hand and said, "There is another one here, I want to send it to Wanyu." You know, Wanyu is my distant niece, and her family background is good, and marrying into the palace as a concubine has wronged her. ”
Sure enough, I still have to plead with Xu Wanyu.
Wang Baoming sighed again and said, "But it's not your fault. At first, I also felt that the punishment was too heavy, but then I heard Rue Xiang tell me what happened, and I ...... This matter is indeed Wanyu's mistake. Don't say it's grounded, even if Zhaoye wants to divorce her, I can't say anything. ”
He Jingying: "Mother, although this grounding is the meaning of Zhaoye, Xu Liangdi's food and clothing should be supplied, and I will definitely not treat her badly." ”
Wang Baoming nodded: "You did the right thing." It's also to make her remember it for a long time. Wang Baoming took He Jingying's hand and said softly: "A-Ying, the mother concubine hopes that you can promise the mother one thing." It's also a loss of face. ”
He Jingying said respectfully: "Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Wang Baoming said: "A-Ying, the concubine knows that Zhaoye likes you. I've only liked you since the beginning. Zhaoye has never given any good looks to other women, but you are different. Wang Baoming smiled and said: "You know, Zhaoye has a big temper, and I, the concubine, can't do anything about him." I used to think that I couldn't look forward to my daughter-in-law. ”
When Wang Baoming said this, He Jingying's face was flushed with shame.
Wang Baoming said again: "But you also know that Xu Wanyu married into the mansion because Lord Xu begged the emperor. The marriage that the emperor personally referred to, Zhaoye was even more disgusted. It's Xu Wanyu who is young and can't see through this. She's also a poor person. I just hope that she can have no worries about food and clothing in the house. ”
If she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in the house, she can't rest, even if she goes too far, she has to keep it in the house, which will save the face of the Xu family.
He Jingying was bitter in her heart, don't say that the hatred of life and death, that is, in the future, if she still wants to burn Yiyue Pavilion, can she only be grounded? But Wang Baoming begged himself like this, how could he bear to refuse? Wang Baoming is kind-hearted, and since he married into the Nanjun Palace, he has treated himself as his own. He Jingying has been without a mother since she was a child, and only at Wang Baoming did she experience half a mother's love. If she wants to let herself get Wang Baoming's mind, she can't do it anyway.
He Jingying nodded: "Don't worry, I promise my mother." ”
Wang Baoming nodded: "A-Ying is the most sensible. ”
He Jingying smiled slightly: "It's just that this grounding is ......"
Wang Baoming patted He Jingying's hand and said, "Since it is Zhaoye's meaning, I will not embarrass you." I'll just go see her. ”
As she spoke, Chun'er walked in: "Miss, there is someone looking for you outside the door, it is the capture of Jingzhao Mansion Yin." ”
Have you found a place to be imprisoned?
He Jingying hurriedly walked out of the house, and sure enough, Yan Xiaodao was waiting outside the door.
Yan Xiaodao saluted and said, "Princess, the third case of plague patients has appeared. ”
He Jingying and Yan Xiaodao rushed to Yizhuang, and Yan Wuyi had already probed the body.
He Jingying asked, "Is this corpse still the same as the previous two?" Is it in captivity? ”
Yan Wuji shook his head and said, "It's different, this person has no tongue cut, and there is no trace of whipping. When we found him, he had only a middle coat on him, and his outer coat had been stripped away. ”
He Jingying: "Where did you find this person?" How long did it take to die? ”
Yan Xiaodao: "Yan Wuji and I have been looking for the imprisoned Zhuangzi for the past few days, but there has been little progress. When I came back today, I passed through the dense forest and found this body. It was a mile away from the place where Yan Wuyi had last found the body. ”
Yan Wuyi: "This person's onset time is about the same as the one in the Six Diseases Pavilion. But strangely, when we found him, he didn't have much mud on his body and hadn't been chewed by dogs. The whole body was relatively intact and clean, and there was lime on it. ”
He Jingying said strangely: "It's about the same time as the person in the Six Diseases Pavilion?" That is, he has been dead for nearly ten days? But the corpse is well preserved? And the lime, that is, someone deliberately preserved this corpse and disposed of it? ”
Yan Wuyi nodded: "Not only is this person not injured, but he was in good physical condition before he died, and he didn't look like he was imprisoned at all. The man had a thin callus on his index finger and palm. ”
Yan Xiaodao: "Yan Wujiao, you mean this person is a martial artist?" ”
Yan Wuyi nodded: "I don't think this person is the same person as the previous two. ”
He Jingying exclaimed: "Could it be that the plague has spread?" ”
Yan Wuji shook his head: "They all have the same smell of cellar on them, they are in the same place, but they are not the same people, this person may be the guard." ”
Yan Xiaodao pointed to the three corpses and said, "The first one to die is the one you found in the forest on the outskirts of the city. The man was supposed to have been thrown out after he died. Then the plague infected the person in the Six Diseases Hall. The man from the Six Diseases Pavilion should have escaped. He may have been hunted down on the way to escape. His pursuers are the same body that was found today. He was infected by the man who had fled. Later, he also fell ill and died. The corpse was disposed of with lime. Now for some reason, someone has thrown his body out again. ”
He Jingying said: "Could it be that the person didn't want you to stop searching, so he threw out this corpse?" ”
Yan Xiaodao nodded and said, "It's possible!" ”
