Chapter 15 Old Things in Jingbei
She walked around the palace for a while, and when she felt a little sleepy and wanted to go back to rest, she saw a door open in a room not far away, and there was no door plaque in the room. Just thinking about whether the subordinate forgot to close it, he walked over.
A cool wind blew in her face, she unconsciously wrapped her cloak, sighed on her hand, and was about to close the door, when she saw that there seemed to be a figure inside, about eight feet long, with her hair half-draped, standing in front of a bunch of spirit cards with her hands behind her back, isn't that Pei Heng.
Lin Peijiu didn't alarm him, took off the cloak on his body, stood on tiptoe and barely put it on him. He paused, glanced at Lin Peijiu in the dark, and then asked, "Do you know who the people are here?" ”
When Lin Peijiu heard this, he took a closer look and saw that the Successful Monarch was waiting for Gu Li, and the Immortal Cloud Monarch was waiting for Xiahou Jingyuan...... Wait, my wife Qi Yunshu, it's strange, the other spirit cards are all the names of one person, only this one is two people, it sounds like a couple, she rummaged around, and also found one who is the same as this one, Hussar Jun Hou Huo Xue, my wife Hu Shimo. She turned her head and asked him, "They are all the kings of Jingbei." ”
He nodded, "It is said that Huo Xue's predecessor pacified the war in all directions at that time, and the emperor was very happy, and asked him what reward he wanted, and he only said that he wanted the extremely cold land of Jingbei, just because he promised his wife to accompany her to see all the plum blossoms for the rest of his life." So he was made a king, stayed in Jingbei with his wife, and was buried together even when he died. Over the years, people who have made great achievements have been crowned and stayed here, and in their eyes, this is not a desolate place where no grass grows, but a symbol of success and fame, Jingbei has become a place that warriors yearn for. But I don't know when it became something that could be inherited, and the son inherited the father's business, and what a reasonable reason seemed a bit funny to everyone. ”
It turned out that this is how Gu Xing's position as the monarch came about, she paused, and then walked to Xiahou Jingyuan's spirit tablet and asked, "Then he was also buried with his wife?" ”
Pei Heng's heart tightened, and he slowly walked over along her line of sight, and said one word for a long time, "Yes." ”
Lin Peijiu thought for a while, held his chin and said, "Then they must love each other like Huo Xue's predecessor and his wife." ”
"Yes." His voice trembled a little, but he tried his best to suppress the word.
Thirty-eight years after the unification of the dynasty, and eight years after Xuanhe replaced the dynasty, isn't it already twenty years ago, just not long after he was born, no wonder he has not heard of it.
"But they didn't die well."
He said such a sentence coldly, Lin Peijiu didn't react at first, and then he said with a surprised face: "What do you mean?" Pei Heng didn't answer, I saw him pick up the spiritual seat, this move scared Lin Peijiu, originally they broke into the mourning hall and talked about their ancestors, it was already a big disrespect, and now they are still messing with other people's things, this is absolutely impossible to do.
"You can't mess with other people's things." Lin Peijiu thought about it, so she hurriedly went to grab him, but it was too late. Instead, he grabbed his wrist. He turned the spiritual seat over, and a poem came into view. Fenghua life, this one, don't ask the way forward, please wait for me. At that moment, seeing this poem, she seemed to have some empathy, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she gasped and seemed to be a little out of breath. She ran out, away from the oppressive atmosphere.
Pei Heng immediately chased after her, helped her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Seeing her shake her head, Pei Heng immediately hugged her horizontally, Lin Peijiu didn't expect it at all, and then her center of gravity was so unstable that her whole body fell into his arms, she firmly grabbed his sleeve, and was about to struggle down, she whispered, "Adult? ”
Pei Heng felt that she was struggling, so she hugged her tighter, "You gave me the cloak, wearing so little will definitely catch the wind cold." Don't worry, I'll naturally put you down when it's time. ”
Lin Peijiu didn't move, obediently snuggled in his arms like a rabbit, she raised her eyes to look at his jaw, her whole body was like being burned by fire, and her face was red and hot. From childhood to adulthood, except for her brother who hugged her like this, there is no second person, and my brother is a brother and sister, what about him? Master-servant affection? He saved her again and again, helped her again and again, and took good care of her....... What the hell was he thinking?
Ah Ning said that she never saved strangers, but they were just faint friends, how could it be worth him to kill an executioner to save her, and tolerate her recuperating in the Strategist's Mansion.
Just yesterday, I vaguely remember that Uncle Nian said that he never traveled with his female dependents, and there was never a female doctor in the house.
Even Chu Jing said that he treated her differently than he did to other women...... But she really couldn't think of any reason to explain the series of actions of the man in front of her, obviously they had only known each other for a long time, but the tension in his eyes was so real.
When he arrived at her room, he broke down the door, walked straight to the couch, and put her down.
"Your Excellency." She exclaimed.
"It's late, let's rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." After saying that, he walked out.
On the second day, Lin Peijiu was woken up early, and she was impatient. By the time she came to the temple, they had already arrived. I thought it wasn't a big deal, but when I saw the expressions on their faces, I couldn't help but sink my mood.
"What's wrong?" She stepped forward and asked.
Even Gu Xing's eyes seemed to have faded from childishness, and he said seriously: "Something happened to the disaster grain, and the dead were eaten." ”
What the! She didn't know what to say for a while, why was she okay the other day. "What's going on?" She looked at Pei Heng and cast a puzzled look.
"Early this morning, someone reported that the food from the imperial court for disaster relief had eaten the three victims of Jingbei, and those victims were now organizing to ask for an explanation."
"But wasn't it okay the other day?"
"That's why we suspect that there must be some conspiracy in it." Gu Xing's case was raised, "This matter can't be known to the people of the Southern Dynasty, otherwise, if someone with a heart makes a fuss, my brother will be ruined." ”
And from beginning to end, Pei Heng didn't say a word.
She walked over, saw him knocking on the table with an unhurried face, and asked, "My lord, what should I do about this?" ”
Pei Heng stopped, "Those who are clear will clear themselves." Then he added, "Looks like we're going to have to make a trip." ”
After they learned, three families died, two families died, and only one survived the old mother. After Lin Peijiu's autopsy, it was indeed from eating, and they did only eat their disaster relief food in the past few days. If you want to be reasonable, the victims will not take these things into account, in their eyes, life and death are the most important.
She checked their food in the past few days, and it was all non-toxic, which was strange, and their bodies were still tough, and they were not infected with any diseases.
"My son died so miserably, you must give an explanation for this." The old mother of one of the deceased pointed at Pei Heng and scolded, "Anyway, I am left alone at home, if I can't get justice, I will make trouble, and your court will not be peaceful." As he spoke, large tears flowed down his face.
Lin Peijiu saw the anger in his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to block him, "How can you blame the adults for this, we are only responsible for escorting the disaster food." Besides, so many people are okay after eating the disaster food, why do you have too many things to do, and tell the court, do you think anyone besides us will take care of your Jingbei affairs? Mom, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds. After saying that, she regretted it a little, after all, she was also a mourner, would it be too much to say so.
Hearing these words, the old mother's eyes turned red anxiously, and she pushed Lin Peijiu down, and said what are you going to pay back my son. Fortunately, Pei Heng was behind her, otherwise she would have been planted on the ground.
Pei Heng helped Lin Peijiu and glared at her angrily, "Mother, today's incident, Pei Mou keeps it in mind, if you find out that this matter has nothing to do with us, I hope you want to apologize to my doctor!" With that, he pulled Lin Peijiu out of this bad place.
He walked quickly, she couldn't keep up with her, and after walking for a while, he stopped, but fortunately, Lin Peijiu found it early, otherwise he would have crashed into him.
"Do you have any opinion on this matter?" She knew that he was a little angry, so she asked softly, her voice very soft.
"What do you want to say?"
Seeing that his tone seemed to have become calmer, she smiled and said, "The adults are really scared when they get angry." As he spoke, he patted himself on the chest and exhaled a few times.
Pei Heng turned his face away, "Don't open the topic." ”
Lin Peijiu's face instantly recovered, and she was puzzled! "I examined the food that I had not eaten, and their food, which was not poisonous, and they were strong and healthy, and they were not sick or sick. There is only one reason. Pei Heng didn't speak, quietly waiting for her words. She thought he would ask him, but she had no choice but to continue: "It's probably the food." So I found the same dish in their meals, wild Juluo grass, but I had only seen it in medical books, and I had to try it if it was really because of this. ”
"Why didn't you just ask them for it?"
"I searched all the houses, but they didn't have them, maybe they all finished eating. But I know what the grass looks like, and I'll find out when the time comes. ”
"I'll go with you."
Lin Peijiu nodded, in fact, she thought it would be better to let Chu Jing follow, after all, he knew martial arts. Thinking about it later, it's better not to say it.
