Chapter 782: Assassination
In the prince's mansion, Xiao Changge sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at himself a little lost.
Accustomed to the scar on her face, now that this face is better, she feels even more strange, and she wakes up every day and feels that this is not herself.
"Princess, princess."
The autumn and winter people have not yet arrived, and they seem to be a little nervous when they step into the house.
"What?"
Xiao Changge calmly inserted the hairpin into his hair, and turned his head to look at Qiu Dong's panting appearance.
"Qing, the scavengers are here."
Qiu Dong pointed outside, his hands still trembling.
Scavengers, she had only heard of his good name and it was the first time she had really seen what he looked like.
How to say, what the fairy wind Dao Gu said should be a man like him.
And there was still a little handsome feeling on that face, Qiu Dong's face was flushed, and he admired the Qingdaor.
In the past, she could only hear the power and unfathomability of the Qingdao people in other people's mouths, but now the Qingdao people came to visit her and really thought she was dreaming.
"Scavengers? What are you doing here? ”
"Let's go, let's take a look."
Xiao Changge got up and shook his sleeves.
Qiu Dong followed behind Xiao Changge and went to the direction of the hall.
When Xiao Changge came, the Qingdao man sat upright, holding the dust in his hand and closing his eyes motionless, and the white smoke of tea on the table slowly rose.
"Scavengers."
Xiao Changge shouted softly, and the Qingdao talent slowly opened his eyes.
Qiu Dong behind him looked at it, and his heart was pounding.
"Autumn and winter, you go down to guard first, if the prince comes back, remember to tell the prince that the scavenger is coming."
Xiao Changge admonished, Qiu Dong came back to his senses and nodded.
Slowly retreated, his eyes still aimed at the scavengers.
The scavenger opened his eyes sharply when he heard the voice, and those eyes shone with a strange light, and the depth was bottomless.
Xiao Changge frowned, seeing this, he didn't know what was going on with a sad face.
"This is not outside, don't be polite, sitting."
Seeing the Qingdao man waving the dust and looking like he was about to get up, he knew what he wanted to do.
Emperor Chu said that the Qingdao people did not need to kneel when they saw the Son of Heaven, but the Qingdao people kept kneeling, saying that they wanted to bow to the Son of Heaven in accordance with the will of heaven.
Now how could he listen to what Xiao Changge said?
The scavenger got up, bowed slightly to Xiao Changge, and then got up.
"Sit."
Xiao Changge didn't say much when he saw that he couldn't stop it.
This cautious appearance really doesn't look like the Taoist personally selected by the Chu State.
If you change someone else, you will definitely be waiting for others to kowtow to him, but the Qingdao man is the opposite, but this makes people more impressed by him, and has a good impression.
"The prince has not come back from the Second Prince's Mansion yet, so the scavengers can wait here first."
Xiao Changge sat down and said politely.
The Qingdao man looked at Xiao Changge with his eyes and didn't even blink an eye.
"It's not a secret, the old man is here to find the fourth princess today."
The Qingdao man stroked his beard, and Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows.
Looking for her?
She has a fate of one or two sentences with the scavengers, how can she have such a great ability to let the scavengers come to her in person?
"The fourth princess thinks that Princess Yongshuo's death is accidental or artificial?"
The Qingdao man looked at Xiao Changge seriously.
Xiao Changge's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect the Qingdao people to ask this.
"Didn't the scavengers already have an answer in their hearts? If so, why do you need to ask me? ”
Xiao Changge asked rhetorically, and the eyes of the Qingdao man changed.
"Why did the princess conclude that the old man had the answer?"
"If not, why did the Sweepers come?"
Xiao Changge asked rhetorically, and the Qingdao man nodded: "What the princess said is right, the old man doesn't believe that Shuo'er had a sleepwalking attack and fell down the imperial city to his death." ”
The scavenger said bluntly, Xiao Changge observed the scavenger.
From Princess Yongshuo to Shuo'er, it can be seen that the Qingdao people regard Chu Yongshuo as their own.
With such a master, Chu Yongshuo is also happy.
"How did the scavengers deduce it?"
Xiao Changge asked.
"This."
The Qingdao man bowed his head and took out an amulet from his bosom, on which there was also a talisman that he had learned to draw by himself.
Xiao Changge looked at the talisman and understood what was going on, it was Xiu'er who kept the talisman in the first place, that is, Xiu'er gave the talisman to the Qingdao.
"It's just a talisman, what's the doubt?"
Xiao Changge asked puzzled.
"There is more than the blood of the old man in this amulet."
The scavengers unwrapped the rope that bound the amulet, and slowly unwrapped the amulet.
Xiao Changge frowned, the words in the talisman had long been blurred, and there were blood stains on it.
A trail of blood covered the runes drawn by the scavengers.
"This blood belongs to Shuo'er."
The Qingdao man pointed out, Xiao Changge's expression was serious.
Since Chu Yongshuo came from his own palace to the city wall, why did the talisman left in the palace be stained with her blood?
"It's interesting."
Xiao Changge read, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled up a smile.
"This is what the old man is puzzled about, why is the amulet left in the palace and people go to the city wall, how can there be blood in the amulet?"
The scavenger pointed out the problem, and Xiao Changge frowned.
Not to mention that the Qingdao people don't even know about her.
"And the flowers in the house are all withered, the flowers are called Dongrin, and the old man also planted some in the cave, and the more they bloom in the shade, the more lush they become, and the time is now the time to grow luxuriantly, but they are all withered."
The scavenger said, Xiao Changge admired the scavenger's observation a little.
It took so much to go to the Falling Moon Hall to find out so many things, and Xiu'er really wanted to pull the Qingdao man into the water and let him investigate the matter thoroughly.
"If I guessed correctly, the Qingdao cleaners should have returned to Kongming Mountain in the past two days, what is the point of the Qingdao people coming to ask me these today?"
Xiao Changge picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and asked.
It is futile to ask more and say more, because the scavengers are leaving.
What if you know the truth as soon as you leave? Do you want to stop being confused?
"No, I'm going to stay in the palace for a while longer."
The Qingdao man shook his head and looked at Xiao Changge with a serious expression.
Xiao Changge frowned, he didn't think that the Qingdao people would stay because of Chu Yongshuo's matter.
"Princess, you should know a lot, there are only you and me here today, can you please tell the princess everything she knows to the old man, and the rest of the old man will check it himself."
The Qingdao man asked, and Xiao Changge smiled.
"Of course you can, just give the Qingdao man a favor, and if he has an accident with me, I hope the Qingdao person can help."
Xiao Changge said like a fox, and the scavenger nodded.
He already owes Chu Yu and Xiao Changge a favor, and he owes one more than that, and besides, his time is running out, and it is still unknown whether he can repay it.
"The following is all my speculation, just listen to it."
"I suspect that Yongshuo's death is man-made, I heard Xiu'er say that the window in the bedroom has been open for a few days, for this Xiu'er has said many times that the palace maid has been cold, and it is easy to catch a cold when the cold wind blows in with the window open, but the window is open again the next day."
"Every time the palace maids who serve Yongshuo come in turns, Xiu'er didn't care much when she saw the window open again, because Yongshuo didn't ask much, in addition to this, there was one more thing, a few days before Yongshuo's accident, I heard that Yongshuo had a sleepwalking attack, and I accidentally injured myself under the witness of several palace maids, that is, I stepped on a glass shard."
"I suspect that the blood in the amulet may have been put in by Yongshuo herself at that time, because she knew she was in danger."
Xiao Changge said in an orderly manner, and the Qingdao man listened carefully.
For him, Xiao Changge's opinion plays a very important role.
The Qingdao man recalled that when Chu Yongshuo gave her the amulet in the cave, he also looked like he knew.
Did she really count herself into such a catastrophe?
"Since she knows, why didn't she tell the emperor and the queen mother about this?"
"What if one of these people wants to harm her?"
Xiao Changge's idea made the Qingdao people feel shivered all over.
If other people want to harm Yongshuo, he believes it, but if it is said that the queen, the queen mother and the queen want to harm her, he doesn't believe it.
"This is also my assumption, it's better not to take it seriously, otherwise it's easy to have a bad deal with the emperor."
Xiao Changge said with a smile, although it is a hypothesis, but the Qingdao people believe it a little.
"No, no, it's possible."
The scavenger waved his hand and said, it was really possible.
Looking at the scavenger like this, Xiao Changge frowned, and he didn't know what the scavenger thought.
Xiao Changge felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, especially after seeing the blood in the amulet just now, his body obviously reacted.
"At the beginning, Shuo'er experienced a serious illness and almost died, but I used a talisman to transport him to save his life, and at that time, someone put a crane in the medicine and wanted to kill Yongshuo!"
As the Qingdao man spoke, Xiao Changge's eyes were a little blurry.
Even the figure of the scavenger can't be seen clearly.
The Qingdao man said, and only glanced at her when he saw that Xiao Changge didn't react.
saw a snap, and Xiao Changge fell to the ground.
"Someone, someone!"
The Qingdao man suddenly got up from the chair and pushed in front of Xiao Changge, without the slightest reaction.
Qiu Dong entered the house because of the shouts of the Qingdao people, and when she saw Xiao Changge fainting, she was more anxious than anyone else.
"Come on, come on, go and invite Yu Gongzi to come!"
Qiu Dong shouted loudly and helped Xiao Changge back to the east courtyard with the scavengers.
When Chu Yu came back, Kuluo was putting away the red rope.
As soon as he returned home, he heard that Xiao Changge had fainted, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly came over.
"Scavengers."
Chu Yu nodded at the scavengers, and the scavengers also saluted back.
"Princess, how is she?"
The phoenix's eyes fell on Kuluo's body and asked anxiously.
"I can't see this, the pulse is stable, why did you suddenly faint? Could it be that taking too many tonic pills these days is counterproductive? ”
Kuluo frowned, scratching his head with his hands.
"In autumn and winter, these days appropriately reduce tonic medicine and tonic soup."
Chu Yu commanded, Qiu Dong nodded.
"Why don't you let the old man try it?"
The Qingdao man asked, glancing at the Qingdao man, he had heard the name of the Qingdao man and knew that he was powerful, but he could calculate the future, could it be difficult to even take the pulse and see a doctor?
Now it's really a wave of unevenness.
"Scavengers, please."
Kuluo got up and stood back, making way for the scavengers.
The Qingdao man stepped forward, his fingers holding Xiao Changge's veins.
"The pulse is steady, it's just..."
"Strange, why did you faint all of a sudden?"
"Did she see something irritated?"
Bitterly thinking, who would suddenly faint, either because of a physical problem or because of irritation.
"Something? She looked at an amulet, and there was blood on it. ”
