Chapter 43: Old Acquaintances

Regarding the matter of the bones, Shen Muxi had also mentioned it before, so before entering the morgue, Bo Yunxiu had already prepared in his heart. The work is being checked, and the white bones have been around for some years. The white bones are the last testimony of people living in this world.

Standing with his hands in his hands, Bo Yunxiu stopped coldly.

Huang Li stepped forward, "How?" ”

He immediately stepped forward and replied, "Report to the prince, the small one has been checked clearly, this white bone has been formed for a long time, at least five or six years, and there are no scars on the body before death, and most of the marks on the bones are caused after death." Because it has been too long, the cause of death cannot be found out for the time being. However, there are a few words engraved on the leg bones of the deceased, which are slightly blurred, but the traces are faintly visible......"

At this point, he looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Huang Li said, "Presumptuous, the prince is still spitting in front of him, don't you want to die?" ”

He was panicked, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "The leg bone of the skeleton is engraved with three vague words, as if it is: Mu Zhongzhou!" ”

Bo Yunxiu's eyes were steep, and his cold eyes narrowed slightly, "Mu Zhongzhou? ”

"Yes!" He nodded again and again, "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the prince, it's really like Mu Zhongzhou's three words!" ”

Huang Li was also scared, what is this called? Mu Zhongzhou is Shen Muxi's master, he has died in the hospital before, and even his body has been snatched away, although it is confirmed that those people in black are from the Changshengmen, they also suspect that Mu Zhongzhou is related to the Changshengmen, but ...... Mu Zhongzhou had just died, and the white bones had been in the cave for several years. Two Muzhong states?

"What's going on?" Huang Li lowered his head and watched as he took out the leg bone, there was a very slight notch in the position of the leg bone, and the handwriting was quite clear, probably because no one had moved, so it remained in its original state.

The cave was closed all year round, so the bones were well preserved. When the cave collapsed, the stone gate formed a triangle at the position, freeing up a protective corner for the white bones.

Xu is destined to reappear in the world after many years.

"The little one has carefully verified that this trace is caused by his life." He said respectfully, "If it is engraved after death, the handwriting will not go to the position of the upper body, and the seam of this bone shows the marks of wounds before death, it should be that the deceased engraved his name on his leg bone before he died." It's just that he didn't expect that it would be discovered many years later. ”

Huang Li's eyes widened, "Perhaps, Mu Zhongzhou died many years ago?" Who was Mu Zhongzhou who was killed a few days ago? ”

Without an answer, no one expected this to be the outcome.

Bo Yunxiu turned around and left, and Huang Li hurriedly told him, "Don't tell outsiders about this matter." ”

"Yes!" How dare you say more, if the prince blames him, he will definitely move his head.

Coming out of the morgue, Bo Yunxiu's face was covered with dark clouds, and Huang Li trembled behind him, two Mu Zhongzhou, both of them were dead, and there was no proof of death. Who knows what happened a few years ago, let alone what happened not long ago?

The appearance of the Immortal Gate has complicated simple things, which one is the real Mu Zhongzhou?

Suddenly, Bo Yunxiu stopped.

Huang Li was stunned, it was Shen Zhi sitting on the edge of the well, and he was playing with something in a daze.

Seeing Bo Yunxiu moving forward, Huang Li involuntarily retreated, so as not to hear anything that should not be heard, and to prevent idle people from approaching.

Chunxiu went to the backyard to dry clothes, and Lu Guizhou took medicine in the room.

Shen Zhi sat alone on the edge of the well in the yard, playing with grasshoppers in his hands, his expression was extremely focused, he didn't even notice that Bo Yunxiu was already standing behind him, I have to say that this child's hands are very skillful, and the grasshoppers are very beautiful.

"Who taught you this?" Bo Yunxiu suddenly asked.

Startled, Shen Zhi stood up suddenly, but because of a slip under his feet, he almost threw himself into the well, but fortunately, Bo Yunxiu was quick and quickly held the child's shoulders, so there was no accident.

But the grasshopper that Shen Zhi had just made up fell into the well, and the distress in his eyes swept by, Shen Zhi's little face instantly collapsed, and he stared at Bo Yunxiu with a little displeasure, if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of this person to scare him, how could his things fall into the well?

It's okay now, and I don't know if I can get it back.

"What's that look on your face?" Bo Yunxiu's face was cold.

"Although you are the prince, but this matter is obviously your fault, you scared me and scared my grasshoppers away!" Shen Zhi argued with reason, so stubborn, it was just the same as Shen Muxi, "It's me who should be angry, and it's you who should say I'm sorry!" ”

Bo Yunxiu glanced at him, Shen Zhi is different from Bo Yu, Bo Yu has been pampered since he was a child, he is raised to be white and tender, and he follows his mother's appearance, white and cute, and people can like it at first glance.

And what about Shen Zhi?

Shen Zhi doesn't have that kind of pretentiousness, although he is also white, but it is indeed far from Bo Yu. This child was born in the countryside, but his facial features are very exquisite, there is light in his eyes, and there is always a twisting energy. His intelligence and well-behaved will make people very comfortable, not accommodation or flattery, but frankness and integrity imprinted in his bones. Bo Yunxiu glanced at the wellhead, and still said, "Who taught you?" ”

Shen Zhi didn't plan to ignore him, and naturally he didn't plan to fish, his mother said that children can't fetch water alone, if they accidentally fall in, it will be a catastrophe. Thinking of this, Shen Zhi walked away.

Looking at it from afar, I only felt that this kid's coldness was very familiar! I look like I've seen it somewhere.

"Answer!" Bo Yunxiu raised the volume.

Shen Zhi looked back at him, "Apologize first!" ”

Bo Yunxiu snorted coldly, but there was no gloom on her face, "It's exactly the same as your mother!" ”

"My son is like a mother, is there anything wrong?" Shen Zhi sneered.

The indifferent sentence made Bo Yunxiu's face dim a little, and some suspicions seemed to be being verified, this eyebrow and this temperament were exactly the same, "Who is your father?" ”

Shen Zhi didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he was stunned at the moment, and he shouldn't come up.

"Can't answer, or don't you want to answer?" Bo Yunxiu asked.

For a child, this is a very cruel question, Shen Zhi is only six years old, he has not been involved in many things, and even coming to this world is not something he can decide. Regarding his life experience, his mother never hid it from him, but she didn't explain it to the outside world, those ethereal things were passed on and on, and they became more and more like the truth, sometimes even Shen Zhi himself wondered, where did he come from?

"Zhi'er!" Chunxiu shouted, rushed over, and quickly dragged Shen Zhi behind him to hide, "Lord Wang, Zhi'er is still young, if there is anything offended, you don't remember the villain." Dr. Shen is already in prison, so there's no need to even let this child go, right? ”

Bo Yunxiu closed his gaze, turned around and left. But before he took two steps, he paused again, looking back at one big and one small, "Perhaps, you can come to this king with the answer, and this king is happy to hear your story!" ”

Shen Zhi didn't say a word, and when he saw Bo Yunxiu's back leaving, his heart suddenly fluctuated. Why would the prince be interested in his background? Is it because of curiosity, or is there something else going on? And no matter what the purpose is, I'm afraid it's all related to my mother?! Then can he use this secret to replace his mother?!

"Zhi'er? What does he tell you? What's the answer to what's the story? Chunxiu asked worriedly, "Let me tell you, there is no good person from the palace, you must not be fooled." If you believe him, if he stumbles on your mother, it will be bad! Think of the horrible woman and child in the yard, and think of the losses we suffered before! ”

Shen Zhi nodded as if he didn't understand, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

"Well, let's think long-term!" Chunxiu dragged Shen Zhi into the house.

Shen Zhi glanced back at the wellhead, and the grasshoppers he had finally made up were ......

Inside the hospital.

Bo Yunxiu stood in the open for a long time, looking at the wall thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

The people below quietly reported two sentences, and Huang Li stepped forward with a slightly gloomy face, "Lord Wang!" ”

"Say!" Bo Yunxiu still maintained her previous posture.

Huang Li took a deep breath, "Concubine Wei brought Ah Luo here. ”

Bo Yunxiu's expression was slightly sick, his eyes were cold, Ah Luo had been serving in the "Ask Xia Pavilion" before, and after the accident, he invited himself to the "Fang Shi Pavilion" to serve Wei Xian'er, at first Bo Yunxiu was also worried, and then he had been safe for so many years, so he also went with them. The thoughts of the daughter's family are impossible to guess after all.

"After Concubine Wei was injured, she didn't like others to approach, and because it was inconvenient for Yizhu to serve alone, she sent someone to the eastern capital to pick up Ah Luo, which is understandable, not to mention that Ah Luo was originally serving Concubine Wei." Deserted.

Bo Yunxiu didn't say a word, standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking at the gradually setting sun, wave after wave. He just heard the news and stopped here for a while, who knew that day after day, he stayed for so long.

This place can't stay any longer!

At night, Wei Xian'er led Ah Luo and Yizhu to visit the prison, but they were blocked back by the guards, and no one was allowed to enter the prison without the nod of the prince.

"Master?" Yizhu walked back with Wei Xian'er in her arms, "Let's go back first!" ”

Ah Luo looked at the food box in his hand, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Master, your eyes are hurt, why do you have to ......?"

"I'm sorry for your convenience, I'm just sending some pastries to Dr. Shen, if you have any doubts, you can check it yourself." Wei Xian'er had a gentle voice, "If there is any problem, I will bear it with all my might, and I will not shirk it!" Ah Luo! ”

"Yes!" Ah Luo hurriedly opened the food box, "Please check it yourself." ”

The guards looked at each other, but none of them dared to make a move, and finally went to report to Bo Yunxiu, and the reply they received was that they could only go in alone.

"Ah Luo, you help me get things in." Wei Xian'er smiled reluctantly, slightly lost, "I think that Dr. Shen is still blaming me in my heart at the moment, you can help me persuade me, and I will come back when she is angry!" Yizhu, help me go back! ”

"Yes!" Yizhu bowed her head and quickly hugged Wei Xian'er away.

Ah Luo tightened the food box in his hand, and looked at the back of Wei Xian'er leaving, feeling slightly sick.

"Ah Luo girl, come in!" The guard opened the door.

Ah Luo nodded, carrying the food box and walking inside, the huge prison was empty, only one cell was bright, and there was a woman sitting in it, looking at the back of the young age, as if she was drawing something.

"Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo opened his mouth low.

Shen Muxi's body stiffened, the pen in his hand shook instantly, and the ink on the tip of the pen fell silently on the paper, blurring the dark ink halo. This voice, so familiar?!

The memory is pouring back, and there is a voice crying in my head: Master, don't drink, Ah Luo will not leave you...... Master! Master! Master......

The feather eyelashes were raised in shock, Shen Muxi turned his head sharply to look, the moment the cell door opened, the old man's face did not change, Ah Luo really came! Familiar faces, familiar voices, familiar eyes, Ah Luo...... It's really her Ah Luo!

The pen in his hand fell on the paper with a "click", and Shen Muxi's body stood up trembling slightly, looking at Ah Luo with a surprised expression. As if remembering something, Shen Muxi quickly lowered his head, pretending to clean up the paper on the table, but the corner of his eye kept drifting on Ah Luo.

Her Ah Luo should not be able to recognize her anymore, after all, after many years, this face ...... It's not what it used to be.

"On the order of the side concubine, the slave maid will send pastries to Dr. Shen!" Ah Luo put the food box on the table, there was no emotional fluctuation on his face, as if he was just an elm pimple acting on orders, and mechanically took out the pastries in the food box slowly, and placed them on the table one by one.

Now this table is no longer the old thing before, it is stable, and it is not afraid of Shen Muxi's tossing.

"Side concubine?" Shen Muxi was a little stunned, "Which side concubine?" ”

Ah Luo didn't even look at her, but replied with half-lowered eyes, "Concubine Wei." ”

"Concubine Wei?" Shen Muxi took a deep breath, Wei Xian'er? I didn't expect that after I left, Ah Luo actually went to serve Wei Xian'er, and I don't know if Wei Xian'er was good to Ah Luo? But she didn't dare to ask, Ah Luo...... I don't know if it's still the one I used to be, crying and not leaving my own Aluo.

The pastries have been arranged, Ah Luo bowed, "Please use it slowly, Doctor Shen, slave maid ......"

"What's your name?" Shen Muxi asked.

Ah Luo lowered his eyes, "Slave Ah Luo!" ”

"Ah Luo." Smacking the tip of his tongue to touch these two words, it was like tasting the memories of the past, so painful and hurtful, but so far away, Shen Muxi raised his lips and smiled lightly, "Why haven't I seen you before?" ”

"The slave maid has just come from the Eastern Capital." Ah Luo bowed his head, "The master is kind-hearted, gentle and dignified, and he has never been cared about by his subordinates. Although you did it first, the master never blamed you, and this time he also sent pastries, so you must be able to understand the deep meaning! The master has the heart to resolve grievances, and I hope that Dr. Shen can also exchange his heart for heart, and don't hurt the master again! The master is generous, but in the end, he is a concubine who leaves the palace, how can he be humiliated? ”

I haven't seen you for a few years, and Ah Luo has been towards Wei Xian'er? It can be seen that over the years, Wei Xian'er has treated Ah Luo well. Shen Muxi smiled, Ah Luo is doing well, isn't it a blessing.

"I can't finish eating so much, so why don't you eat it too?" Shen Muxi said.

Ah Luo shook his head, "The slave is humble and unworthy of the things given by the master. ”

"I'll treat you to dinner." Shen Muxi suddenly grabbed her hand and dragged her to sit down.

Ah Luo's expression was slightly sick, he quickly withdrew his hand, stared at Shen Muxi in a little surprise, and when he turned his eyes, he stared directly at the paper on the corner of the table, which was Shen Muxi's graffiti.

It is said that it is a graffiti work, and it is really graffiti, black, a lump after a lump, the bird is painted like a duck, the lotus leaf is painted like a briquette, there is no artistic conception not to say, and even the most basic meaning is not clear.

"It's ugly, it's ugly, it's just to pass the time anyway!" Shen Muxi quickly put together the drawing paper, his face turned red, "Come, let's eat pastries together!" ”

Ah Luo came back to his senses, and finally looked at her squarely, but no matter how she looked at it, different is different. After thinking about it, Ah Luo said again, "Isn't Dr. Shen a doctor?" How do you like drawing these things? ”

"Pass the time." Shen Muxi looked at the pastries on the table, either too sweet or too greasy, and some of the smells were a little weird, none of them were what she liked to eat, "These pastries were given by your master?" ”

"Yes!" Ah Luo bowed, "Doctor Shen enjoys slowly, and the slave and maid retire!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Muxi reached out and dragged her.

However, the next moment, Ah Luo suddenly picked up Shen Muxi's sleeves with lightning speed, and on his white elbows, there was nothing expected, and the light in Ah Luo's eyes dimmed instantly, and finally calmed down.

Shen Muxi knew what Ah Luo was looking for, Wei Xian'er really didn't give up, and she had to check her identity, so it was really hard to send Ah Luo here, but ...... Wei Xian'er was going to be disappointed this time.

"Offended!" Ah Luo withdrew.

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Shen Muxi smiled casually and asked, "Are you looking for something?" My arm? As she spoke, she deliberately rolled up her sleeves to make Ah Luo see more clearly, so that Ah Luo could reply to Wei Xian'er categorically.

"Doctor Shen?" Ah Luo was a little embarrassed, "Slave maid ......"

"You are not my slave, you don't need to take a bite of a slave, bring back all the things on the table, none of them are my favorite food, and it is a waste to put it aside, so it is better to feed it to the dog!" Shen Muxi turned around and sat on the wooden bed with a cold face, looking at it.

Ah Luo is in a dilemma, "Doctor Shen ......"

"Bring back the original words." Shen Muxi didn't embarrass her, but Wei Xian'er ...... We'll see.

In desperation, Ah Luo put the pastries back into the food box, and the hand holding the food box was clenched tightly, Xu was overexerted, and the green tendons on the back of his hand rose slightly, "Doctor Shen, I'm sorry!" ”

"Let's go!" Shen Muxi sighed, didn't look at her again, and knew that when she heard footsteps, she lowered her head with a gloomy face, like a defeated rooster, and felt overwhelmed for the first time.

Ah Luo lowered her eyebrows, glanced at the paintings again before leaving, and when she exited the prison, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Wei Xian'er's courtyard.

Yizhu was standing in the courtyard, as if she was waiting for Ah Luo.

"Aunt Yizhu!" Bow down.

Yizhu is Wei Xian'er's essay, and she is also the aunt in charge of Fangshi Pavilion, and her position is naturally above Ah Luo, at this moment, Yi Zhu stared at Ah Luo, who bowed down, and asked coldly, "How?" ”

"It's not!" Ah Luo replied, "The slave looked at Dr. Shen's sleeve, and there was no cinnabar mole on her elbow. ”

"How did you look through it?" Yizhu asked.

Ah Luo pursed her lips, "Slave maid...... Open it up and see it directly! ”

The moment the sound fell, Yizhu raised his hand and slapped Ah Luo in the face, "Idiot, aren't you suspicious like this?" You can't do a little thing, what's the use of you? ”

Ah Luo just pouted his face, as if he had long been used to it, and still half-bowed his head, "It's the slave who is not doing well, please punish my aunt!" ”

"What's the use of chastizing you?" Yizhu stared coldly at the food box in Ah Luo's hand, "Things, Doctor Shen can eat?" ”

Ah Luo's body straightened slightly, "Doctor Shen said that she doesn't like ......"

"That's not eating!" Yizhu snorted coldly, "Ah Luo, you haven't been away from the palace for a day or two, you should know how the master treats you." You know very well why you didn't have your master at the beginning, if it weren't for the master to take you in, you wouldn't know where you are now! People should be grateful, otherwise what is the use of you? It's better to get a dog! ”

Ah Luo saluted, "Auntie has taught me a lesson. ”

"Since Dr. Shen doesn't eat it, then you can eat it!" Yizhu snorted lightly, "You must eat them all, and no one is allowed to be left." ”

Ah Luo was slightly stunned, "Auntie, this is given by the master, the status of the slave and maid is low, I'm afraid it is inappropriate." ”

"What's inappropriate?" Yizhu smiled coldly, "Let you eat, you can eat!" ”

Ah Luo didn't dare to disobey, but she also knew that this was another pit dug by Yizhu, but if she didn't eat it, there would be pits waiting for her to jump. In this palace, she has a humble status and does not have any right to choose. Knowing that it is a disaster, you have to bow your head and bear it!

The pastry is very sweet and the taste is not bad.

Yizhu's eyes were ruthless, staring at Ah Luo squatting on the ground and eating all the pastries in the food box, very good! At this point, Yizhu turned around and went back to the room, and Wei Xian'er leaned against the bedpost and still didn't rest.

"Master, no!" Yizhu replied in a low voice.

Wei Xian'er gently stroked the mandarin duck pendant in her palm, as if she was a little surprised, and her fingertips paused slightly on the mandarin duck pendant, "Do you see clearly?" ”

Yizhu took two steps closer and said in a suppressed voice, "Ah Luo can see it clearly, but this girl is too stupid, I'm afraid that it will expose your intentions, master." ”

"Since there is no cinnabar mole, it means that she is not Xia Wenxi, since she is not Xia Wenxi, how can she know my intentions?" Wei Xian'er clenched the mandarin duck in her palm, "There is no Xia Wenxi in the world, why be afraid of Shen Muxi." ”

"That being said, it's just that the slave is worried, and the prince seems to be suspicious." Yizhu Road.

Wei Xian'er also thought about this. From Bo Yu Feigeon, she was informed that Bo Yunxiu was staying here, and forced a female doctor to stay, and she had to bring it back to the Eastern Capital, so she panicked, for fear that the woman was really not dead, and even more afraid that Bo Yunxiu really got the woman back.

Fortunately, it has now been confirmed that Shen Muxi is Shen Muxi, not the woman she once was. Of course, the precautions that should be taken are still to be done, and after so many years of quiet from the palace, there can be no more complications because of Shen Muxi alone.

The mandarin duck was in her hand, and Wei Xian'er's lips were pursed.

The night is long, some people toss and turn, and some people are uneasy.

Early the next morning, Chunxiu went to the small kitchen to prepare for breakfast, Shen Zhi got up and took care of it all, but found a straw grasshopper on the windowsill, which was larger and brighter than his original one.

Stunned, Shen Zhi ran out in astonishment, the courtyard was empty, and there was no trace. Tightening the grasshopper in his hand, Shen Zhi frowned, walked to the well thoughtfully, looked at the grasshopper, and then looked at the well.

Could it be......

Outside the door, there were officials passing by, as if they were discussing something.

"Oh, it's so miserable, I was beaten like this, my skin was open, and I was panicked when I looked at it."

"It's heavy enough, thirty boards, men can't carry it, let alone women, it is estimated that they won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months."

"If you are weak, you can be killed!"

"It's miserable!"

Shen Zhi's body trembled, who was hit by the board? Woman? Are you talking about mother? It was the person who left the palace who moved his hand, punished his mother, and moved the board! Thinking of this, Shen Zhi's complexion changed suddenly, and he ran out of his legs, no one can bully his mother! It must be the bad woman, and for revenge, it must be her......

Damn it! It's so damning! It's all bad guys!

With a muffled sound of "bang", Bo Yunxiu felt a pain in the back of her waist, and she was almost knocked and stumbled, but she could stand still. He turned around suddenly, and was about to be angry, but he saw Shen Zhi fall to the ground on all fours, his little face twisted together in pain, but his eyes were full of anger, staring at him fiercely.

"You don't talk much, you bad guy!" Shen Zhi pointed at Bo Yunxiu and scolded angrily, "If you dare to touch my mother, I won't let you go!" ”

Bo Yunxiu's face was cold, "What nonsense is it early in the morning?" Who touched your mother? ”

"That's you! You let people beat my mother's board, and you beat your skin and flesh, it's you! Shen Zhi gasped and got up from the ground, probably because he really fell in pain, and his face was blue and white.

In fact, Bo Yunxiu's face couldn't see where to go, and he was scolded by the older child early in the morning, which tasted so sour.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, and he still thought about it - everything is not appropriate!

The next moment, Bo Yunxiu suddenly grabbed Shen Zhi's wrist, "Go!" ”

"Where to go? You bad guy, you don't talk much, you still lie to me, saying you want to hear my story, in fact, it's all a lie, you liar! The big liar, the big liar Wang Ba...... "Shen Zhi was almost dragged away by Bo Yunxiu, he was young and thin, and when he was dragged into prison, his arms were about to be broken, and he was in tears.

"See for yourself!" Bo Yunxiu threw him out casually.

Shen Zhi's whole body slid on the ground for a short while, and he just fell at the door of the prison.

"Zhi'er!" Shen Muxi exclaimed.

Bo Yunxiu raised her foot and kicked open the prison door, angry and irrepressible, "See clearly, did this king attack your mother?" ”

Shen Zhi sat up on the ground for a long time, with tears on his face, and watched Shen Muxi rush out and hug him in a daze. Mother is fine, she was not injured or tortured, but she really wronged the prince?!

Rubbing his aching arm, Shen Zhi twitched his neck twice, subconsciously shrank into his mother's arms, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I wronged him, what should I do?" ”

Shen Muxi was originally going to curse, but when he heard the crisp whisper in his arms, he was shocked, "In the end...... What's going on? ”

"Check it out!" Bo Yunxiu glanced at Huang Li.

In response, he ran away, and hurried out of the land of right and wrong.

Shen Muxi hugged Shen Zhi and got up, "Where is the injury?" ”

Shen Zhi rubbed his arm, lay in his mother's arms, and wrapped his arms around his mother's neck, "Mother, I bumped him just now, and then scolded him...... Big liar Wang Ba! Mother, will he eat me? ”

"He dares!" Shen Muxi glared at Bo Yunxiu fiercely.

Bo Yunxiu gritted her back molars, her eyes were sharp, "A loving mother is a loser!" ”

Shen Muxi replied, "What do you have to do with it!" ”

Shen Zhi pouted, since it was not his mother who was beaten, who was it?
