Chapter 168: Twists and Turns
"Taijun, this is the ancient scroll of Shangshu?"
In the silence of everyone again, it was King Yi who opened his mouth to break it.
The old lady coughed lightly, and didn't let anyone pick it up, but said, "Yes." This is the treasure of the Water Mansion, the ancient scroll. ”
"Then the eldest prince and the fourth prince didn't take out this thing just now, so they regarded it as giving up?"
If both of them give up, then the rest of them will have a greater chance to get it.
Yiwang's words made Shui Mist's gray face flash a glimmer of light.
But he still pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "Grandma, what should I do next?" The scroll has fallen out of the box, how should the grandson be tested? ”
When he said this, he was a little complacent, after all, the rules this time were changed casually by the old lady, which was different from previous years, and he also learned some of the contents from his father, if the old lady asked, he could have said a reason.
So many things happened at once, and the people present, except for the two princes and those who were questioned, the rest were silent.
It's not that I'm afraid of saying too many mistakes, but everyone has a small abacus in their hearts and is waiting to see what happens.
Under Shui Mistze's expectant eyes, the old lady didn't pay attention to him.
She glanced at "Shui Junyu" who was still standing at the door, and suddenly said, "Junyu, if you are not dead, just tell me, why do you think that your third brother is the murderer who killed you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the mist changed color again, and he wanted to say something, but he was scolded by his father.
"Shut up."
Shui Mist pursed his mouth, but he really didn't say anything, but the drooping eyelashes just happened to cover the fierce color in his eyes.
"Because I'm getting in the way of others." As soon as she said this, not only Shui Wuze, but even Shui Wuyue lowered her eyes and tightened her hands, "If I hadn't been rescued, I'm afraid I would have died in that fire a long time ago." ”
"You mean, after the third prince knocked you unconscious or something, he set fire to your residence, but someone saved you, making people think that it was the fourth lady Shui Junyu who died? That's right, right? ”
Mu Jingzhu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth at this time.
Qu Youying's heart skipped a beat and she turned her head to look at him.
Qian Rhino nodded, "That's right. ”
"Then I have a question."
"Please."
"Where did the corpse of the person who saved you come from? He saved you, but he obviously killed a person, otherwise he would not have easily gotten through such troubled waters. ”
Mu Jingzhu had a calm voice and sharp eyes, as if she didn't know that the person in front of her was Qianxi, and the tone she used was as ruthless as facing the prisoner, Qu Youying was very nervous when she heard it, but she didn't dare to interrupt him.
Qianxi didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, and she frowned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know about this." When I woke up, I was recuperating because the medicine didn't work. ”
"Recuperate?" Mu Jingzhu's eyes looked up and down on her, "If the other party has the heart to save you, how can you still look as embarrassed as escaping from the fire?" Now that you are ready to come to Shuifu today, why did you appear like this? In order to seek mercy, to let people see your embarrassment, or to let people follow your plan and decide that the third prince is the murderer? ”
"You!"
A series of forced questions made Qianxi unable to retort at all, but she couldn't tell that she was not really Shui Junyu, because in this way, it was not only herself who was involved, but also Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer.
Qianxi is not a fool, so she was ready to realize as early as the moment she was willing to become Shui Junyu.
"Jing Candle."
Qu Youying felt uncomfortable watching her best friend being treated like a suspect by the man she loved the most.
So she could only keep telling herself that Mu Jingzhu must have a reason for doing this.
But as soon as she touched Qianxi's eyes, her heart was very uncomfortable.
After all, Thousand Rhinos didn't do anything wrong.
"Yes, what Mu Gongzi said is right, you are like this, it is clear where you escaped from, it was the other party who deliberately let you out, so that you wronged me so much, right?" Hearing Mu Jingzhu say this, Shui Wuze's confidence seemed to come back, and he pointed to Qianxi and said, "As long as you clearly say who is the person who instructed you, Shuifu will definitely help you, after all, you are a child of Shuifu, and the two princes are still here, no bad guy can easily escape." ”
"The last sentence of the third prince is very right."
Mu Jingzhu suddenly changed his words and fell on him, and the sentence of the third prince seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and it made all the goosebumps all over the body of Shui Wuze when he said it.
But it's not a day or two since he has done enough work on the surface, in such a situation, he has been able to change again and again, he will not fall, will he still be afraid of a mere Shui Junyu?
Therefore, he said to Mu Jingzhu, "Mu Gongzi, you are the detective of Xiangling Town, and the affairs of Shuifu are fully entrusted to you to investigate, but nothing has been found so far. ”
When he said this, it seemed to be a bit of a family master, and the third old man was angry, but he couldn't tell him anything.
"In the eyes of the king, it is better to do so." Jiang Tong spoke again, "First ask the fourth lady to go down and rest, and after the matter is investigated, you will know the truth as soon as you confront each other." Fifth brother, Taijun, what do you think? ”
Although the old lady is the head of the family, at this time, he still has to ask the prince first, "I don't know what the prince thinks?" ”
Yiwang said less today, and when he sat there, he barely said anything except for posing and drinking tea. At this time, in the face of other people's inquiries, he just put down the teacup and said in a deep voice, "Since the ninth brother said so, I will do so, but the ninth brother will be fully responsible for this matter, if anything goes wrong, this king will not change his mind in front of his father." ”
"Nature, nature." Jiang Tong smiled slightly, not angry, and faced the old lady again, and said, "Taijun? ”
The old lady got the permission of the two princes, nodded too, and said, "Just do what the prince says." Lin Ze, you take Junyu down. ”
Shui Linze said, "Okay." ”
"Wait." At this time, Shui Wuyue, who had never been born, suddenly opened her mouth, she got up from the chair, her weaker body seemed to be very weak, "Grandma, since the fourth sister is back, why don't you let Wuyue place her to rest?" ”
"I don't think so." Qu Youying interrupted bluntly, "There was a small fork in the pond between you before, I think it is most appropriate for me to go." ”
Shui Linze's eyes narrowed and he didn't speak.
Jiang Tong said with a smile, "Miss Qu can perform an autopsy and know some medical skills, so it's naturally best for you to go." ”
With permission, Qu Youying didn't care about anything, so she got up from the chair, walked to Qianxi, took her arm, and went outside.
Because there were people on the side, she just walked forward with her help, and didn't say anything, until she went to the courtyard where Shui Junyu lived before, and she hurriedly opened her mouth after she excused herself to let her subordinates leave.
"Qianxi, where have you been these days? How did you suddenly appear here today? What the hell is going on? ”
Qu Youying served her to lie down, looking at the wounds on her body, and asked anxiously.
She was very worried, because with Qianxi's temperament, she would not appear in front of people like this, so she would appear today, and she must have been instructed by others.
"It's Feng Yi."
"Master?" Qu Youying exclaimed, "Master saved you that night?" ”
"Yes."
Qianxi nodded, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door outside. She immediately shut up, leaned back on the bed, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
Qu Youying understood, walked to the door, opened the door, and found that it was Qing He, and was slightly stunned, "Sister Qing He?" What are you doing here? ”
"Miss Qu." Qinghe blessed his body, and then said, "It was the old lady who thought of the body of the fourth lady, and ordered the slave maid to come and take a look, maybe he could help something." ”
"No need." Qu Youying refused, "I just showed her the injuries, they are all some skin injuries, nothing serious, bandage it, rest and recuperate." Sister Qinghe still went to the old lady's side to wait, after all, what happened there was the biggest thing today. ”
Qu Youying refused like this, and Qing He didn't want to force it, so he handed her the medicine box in his hand, "The old lady said, if you have something, just come and find it." ”
"Thank you."
When Qinghe walked away, Qu Youying closed the door, but she still didn't use the medicine box given by Qinghe, but waited for someone to find Yun Shu, used her own things to clean up Qianxi's wounds, and then served her to rest, and even the decoction was caught and boiled by Yun Shu himself.
Because Qu Youying felt that there would be eyeliner all around, after Qinghe left, she didn't ask Qianxi anything again, but let her rest.
But Qianxi couldn't sleep, she dipped her fingers in the water, and wrote down her past few days word by word on the table.
It wasn't until dusk approached that Qu Youying understood the whole situation.
It turned out that night, Xi Fengyi promised to do Qianxi a favor, that is, to take her out of here, but Qianxi refused, but she didn't expect that something would happen a few days later.
If Xi Fengyi hadn't happened to arrive, Qianxi would definitely have died.
He took Qianxi away and hid her, until today, when he got the news that the Shuifu would choose the head of the family, so he let Qianxi come forward, in order to bring down the water mist.
"But, whose body is that body that replaces 'Shui Junyu'?" Qu Youying whispered in her ear, "Someone told me that it was Shui Wuyue's substitute ghost. What really died that day was Shui Wuyue. ”
"Will it?" Qianxi frowned, she thought about it, and still dipped her hand in water and wrote on the table, "If that, Shui Wuyue appears in a good manner, and the other party doesn't think about doing it again?" ”
"So we need to find out if that corpse is really Shui Wuyue." Qu Youying also wrote on the table with her hand, "I will find a chance to meet Shui Wuyue again alone." But do you know where Master has gone? ”
Qianxi looked outside, wiped the water on her index finger with her thumb, pulled Qu Youying's hand, and wrote two words in her palm.
Qu Youying's mouth widened in shock!
