Chapter 29: Jade Ruyi (5)

Gu Peiqing had a meal in the Yangxiu Palace of the Five Princes, and then went back to the Qing Pavilion, originally the Five Princes also wanted to accompany him, but his mother said that there was something wrong and called him to go, Gu Peiqing asked Ah Ye to continue to go to the Zhuyan Hall to recognize the plants, and he followed the palace people to the Hui Qing Pavilion. The Huiqing Pavilion is not big, the front hall is the place where the imperial doctors discuss the condition, and the eight old chairs and coffee tables are arranged separately in two rows. The backyard is where the herbs are dried, and there are four rooms where the herbs are stored. The palace people came and went, and it seemed that this small pavilion was very lively.

Lin Qizuo sat in the lobby waiting for Gu Peiqing, a cup of tea in front of him was curling with smoke, and it looked like it should have just been poured. Gu Peiqing made a gesture, Lin Yanzuo also returned the salute, and the two briefly introduced themselves and began to get to the point.

Lin Chengzuo looks like he is only in his forties, but he has been doing it for nearly 30 years, he is meticulous, and Zhao Run, a member of the criminal department, can settle a large number of unjust and wrongful cases, and he has made great contributions.

"The deceased did die from multiple heavy blows to the head, according to the shape of the wound, the murder weapon was Nayu Ruyi, and according to the depth of the wound, it can also be seen that the murderer did not have much strength, but he kept hitting hard." He said with a glance.

Gu Peiqing had a guessed expression, pondered slightly, and asked, "Is there such a thing as ecstasy in Pei'er's body?" ”

Lin Qizuo shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Then ......" Before Gu Peiqing could say the question in his heart, Lin Yanzuo answered: "Lord Gu should be wondering why Pei'er was attacked with little strength and didn't call for help, right?" ”

Gu Peiqing nodded and said, "Lin Yanzuo knows why?" ”

"Wordless grass was found in her."

Gu Peiqing knew what the wordless grass was, and if you overeat it, you will lose all consciousness for a period of time, this thing is generally used in the army, so that the soldiers who are fighting will not feel the pain for a while, and they will be more brave on the battlefield.

"In other words, she just let the murderer beat her to death?"

Lin Yanzuo's face was also full of suspicion, he took another sip of tea, and the lid of the cup collided with a crisp sound, "I guess the murderer should be friendly with her, gave her the wordless grass, and waited until the princess took a nap, and Pei'er, who didn't know it, opened the window to let the murderer in, and the murderer killed her, and then escaped through the window." ”

But how did the window lock from the inside? And even if Pei'er was unconscious at the time, she could see the murderer murdering her, and screaming at this time to save her life. ”

Lin Yanzuo showed a look of affirmation and said, "What do you think about Lord Gu?" ”

Gu Peiqing shook his head, folding the fan and tapping his palm, his heart was inextricably linked, he had a bold guess, but it was better not to tell others, if innocent people were involved in this whirlpool, he would have a bad conscience.

"Master Gu, this is a statement I wrote about the corpse, so that you can solve the case as soon as possible." Lin Yanzuo took out a volume of texts, and Gu Peiqing thanked him and took it.

"Master Gu is a talented person in the country, if he can go to the Criminal Department, he will become a leader in the industry." It seems that Lin Chengzuo really admires Gu Peiqing, and he is full of good feelings towards the young man after just a short conversation.

With Lin Cheng to say goodbye, Ah Ye came with the plant varieties he had written, and Gu Peiqing gave him the incense ash he had collected, and asked him to stay in the Qing Pavilion to find the imperial doctor to ask what was in it, and explained other things by the way.

Gu Peiqing knew that the place he was going to next was full of uncertainty, and he could just take risks alone. Aunt Shanmian led him to the Yueru Palace, and the more luxurious palace came into view, showing that the actual mistress of the harem was in full grace. Entering the side hall of the Yueru Palace, Yue Guifei was hugging Jue Ya, who was still flustered, and said something, Jue Ya sat next to a noblewoman, although the clothes on her body were not as expensive as Yue Guifei, but she could also see that the materials were precious, she looked about the same age as Yue Guifei, and she was beautiful that the years could not steal, but her eyes were already full of too much tiredness in the world.

Aunt Shanmian saluted and said, "Concubine Yue, Princess Duan, Princess Jueya, Lord Gu Peiqing has arrived." ”

Gu Peiqing stepped forward and saluted, smelling the familiar scent, the unique fragrance that had once been smoked in the princess's bedroom.

Jueya looked at Gu Peiqing, first surprised, and then involuntarily smiled, afraid that the mother concubine would find out, so she quickly suppressed the smile, her eyes were full of good-looking for the man in front of her, and her panicked emotions were actually thrown out of the clouds, and her series of small expressions were all seen by Princess Duan.

"Master Gu, what did you find?" Concubine Yue asked, majesty and kindness coexisted in her voice, Gu Peiqing replied honestly: "I already have a clue, and I still need to ask the princess a few questions." ”

"Just ask." Jueya's voice rose unconsciously.

Gu Peiqing suddenly thought of the picture scroll that painted him, and took a step back, but he panicked. The princess looked at him with big eyes full of doubts, "Master Gu just asks, if you can clear my suspicion, I will know everything." ”

"Please tell me about that day."

"That day was no different from usual, I finished lunch, sat at my desk and drew for a while, and when the time came, Pell came in and changed my clothes, and I went to sleep, and when I came with me, I lay down next to her, and my clothes were full of blood, and my face and hands were too, and then the people outside the door came in." Recalling this, she fell into fear again and drilled into Concubine Yue's arms. Concubine Yue sighed and stroked her daughter's cloudy hair.

"That jade Ruyi, was Pei'er brought it in?"

Speaking of Yu Ruyi, a trace of annoyance crossed Jueya's face, and Gu Peiqing thought that he had seen it wrong.

"Do you know about Yu Ruyi?"

Gu Peiqing didn't know if what she said was about her and Zhang Yu's previous affairs or what she told Pei'er to get Yu Ruyi, but she didn't answer. Jueya looked at him silently, and then spoke: "I asked her to bring Yu Ruyi, I just want to put it back in the room." ”

Gu Peiqing asked again: "Where did all the strange plants that the princess treasured come from?" ”

"My father has rewarded some, and some of them are given by everyone, all my brothers, and some good noble ladies will give them, everyone knows that I like this."

"Does the princess have any records of where these plants come from?"

"Record? No, Pei'er has a good memory, she remembers, and now she's gone, I'm afraid that except for a few plants that I like so much, I still remember where they came from, and there is nothing else to reflect it. ”

Gu Peiqing unconsciously shook off the folding fan and shook it slightly and fell into deep thought. Jue Ya couldn't help but blush slightly when she saw this action, so she drilled into Concubine Yue's arms, and took a peek at Gu Pei Qing by the way.

"If Master Gu finds out the truth, please be the first to tell me." Yue Guifei ordered.

Gu Peiqing instantly sobered up from his own world, answered yes, and hurriedly retired.
