Chapter 401
Another year later, the first emperor died
During this period of time, what happened was really abrupt. It's as if the Qingfeng Temple of the Danding faction appeared out of thin air Xuanyang Dao people, and even when the Qingfeng Temple was crumbling, he turned the tide and changed its name to Danding Temple.
Since then, he has been in contact with the British Duke and the Dong family.
In the end, he became a celebrity in front of the first emperor
If you don't think about it carefully, you may not be able to detect the problem. But if you think about it carefully, it is really full of flaws.
According to the Daoist of the Gatekeeper, not long after he entered the Taoist Temple to practice, he was able to perform corpse spells and alchemy. What a talent this must be, after all, there are not a few alchemy cultivators in the world, but there is no one as rebellious as him. What's more, those alchemy things, if they are not well controlled, will explode and even kill people.
partial, but this Xuanyang Daoist is an exception.
Not only can he be alchemy, but he also understands the secret art of cults, and he can also properly drill camps and demagogue, which is not something that a small Taoist priest can do. And it is easy to think about where the people who are proficient in all these things come from.
The only explanation is that, as Xu Chu speculated, this Xuanyang Daoist was originally an impostor, and his true identity was most likely the remnant of Tantra.
After closing the confession, Xiao Qinglang fiddled with the murder weapon that Tang Qiao was presenting, a dagger with a cold light. After a little muttering, he ordered, "Let Inspector Cao examine his body, he failed to kill Xuanyang, and he bumped into the person who saved Xuanyang, then he will inevitably leave scars on his body." Then it will be interrogated, and the details must be investigated, such as how he fought with Xuanyang or the mysterious man, and how he got the two of them out. Also, after the incident, how did he return to the Danding faction, and what evidence is there. ”
"In addition, wait for Sikong Han to find out the believers of the Danding faction, and take the testimony of those Taoist priests and Taoist children who are still lay, and then compare them with the confessions of the Taoist guards."
Tang Qiaozheng had always known that the prince was on top of the case, and he was used to being cautious and careful, so he hurriedly responded.
At this time, Xiao Qinglang reminded Tang Qiaozheng again before letting people leave.
On the other side, Xu Chu, who returned to Xu's mansion, looked at the sporadic lights in the courtyard and the sparse courtyard, and sighed that when there were people at home, he would not feel so lonely when he came back. Don't talk about the side, just say that on the first day of entering Beijing, after everyone left, the courtyard was very empty.
Now, in the not big mansion, there are Aunt Chu and Xiaoqiu occupying the courtyard, and there are two subordinates from the Jing'an Mansion to help clean and take care of the mansion. Not to mention that there are many people, but when I come back, this courtyard seems less deserted.
She was sighing when she suddenly saw a figure moving in the shadows not far away.
Xu Chu looked at the height, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and called, "Ah Qiu! ”
Ah Qiu suddenly heard a voice, trembled in fright, and stopped his steps. She heard the sound and looked over, and saw that it was Xu Chu alone, so she breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency." Ah Qiu looked left and right, but didn't see anyone else, so he hesitated and asked, "My lord, are you alone?" ”
Xu Chu nodded, "Don't worry, it's just me." Aunt Chu didn't come with me today, so she wanted to come here to discuss medical skills with Dr. Zhou in the capital. ”
Ah Qiu was sure of what Xu Chu said, so he was completely relieved, and walked out of the dark shadows with a smile.
However, when Xu Chu saw Ah Qiu's appearance, his face changed slightly in shock, and then a pair of eyebrows were twisted. How so?
I saw that Ah Qiu's hair was tied up, tied by an inconspicuous blue hairband, and his body was a common servant costume in the palace. The blue kudzu cloth clothes, the white background and the black cloth shoes, are a delicate little girl's dress.
However, what stunned Xu Chu was not her behavior of disguising herself as a man, after all, in her early years, for convenience, Xu Chu himself often showed people in men's clothes.
And the reason why she paid too much attention to Ah Qiu's outfit was because she finally understood why she felt so familiar when she saw the second prince at the Changyue Banquet today.
Just because, Ah Qiu, who is dressed in men's clothes, except that he looks younger than the second prince and has a more jumpy temperament, is six or seven points similar to the second prince between his eyebrows. Especially when she wears men's clothes and doesn't speak, she looks more and more like the second prince.
Xu Chu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest on his face. She pursed her lips and glanced at Ah Qiu, who walked in front of her, sighed and asked softly, "What are you doing, you came back so late, beware of Aunt Chu annoying you." ”
Ah Qiu lowered his head, scratched the ground with his toes, and whispered, "I, I"
She "me" for a long time, only then cautiously peeked at Xu Chu, gritted her teeth and said, "When I was in the palace before, I read the book with the little sisters outside, saying that women dressed as men can always have adventures, so we agreed to find a day for a day of women dressed as men to play for a day." ”
"My lord, this is really the first time Ah Qiu has done this, and he will never do it again. Don't tell Aunt Chu, if she knows that I wear men's clothes and sneak out of the city to play, maybe she will be angry for a long time."
Xu Chu narrowed his eyes and asked as if unintentionally, "Then Ah Qiu went out with the little sisters of which mansion today?" ”
Ah Qiu secretly glanced at Xu Chu and saw that she had no intention of suering, so she quickly said, "She didn't say which house she belonged to, but I saw that there was a king character embroidered on her purse, and there was a strange totem on the side that looked like a family emblem. ”
When Xu Chu heard her say this, he became more and more suspicious of the woman's identity.
In normal times, she might not be so sensitive. It's just that the situation is pressing now, and the many things she just guessed about Ah Qiu have made her have to be cautious.
Although she had not yet dissected the body of the Duchess of England, she was almost certain that the full-term child had most likely survived.
But according to the time, although he was brought to the Xu family by his father during that time period, the month was not right. On the contrary, although Ah Qiu's age is a little different, the month is just right, and more importantly, her appearance is too revealing.
Although there are many similar people in the world, it is worth pondering that there is a person who looks similar to the prince at this juncture, and he also appears next to Aunt Chu who was kicked out of the inner court.
After all, you must know that there have long been rumors in the market that the facial features of the second prince and the first emperor are very similar. And the appearance of the British prince and the former emperor is also very like, so that it has gained a lot of convenience.
If you speculate along this line of thought, then Ah Qiu
Can you guess that Ah Qiu has something to do with the first emperor or the British prince?
But if you do this, how can you look so similar to the Duchess of England?
The first emperor, the British duke, the British duchess, what is the relationship between Ah Qiu and himself?
In an intricate relationship, there must be a beginning, so where is the beginning?
In the end, Xu Chu first asked Ah Qiu to go back to the room with him to change into women's clothes, and then went with her to find Aunt Chu. There were some things that she had been ignoring before, but now that she thought about it, she was really suspicious.
Although Xu Chu didn't know what Aunt Chu knew, she was almost sure of her speculation. That is, Aunt Chu knows the reason why she is similar to the British duchess, and even knows where the scar marks in the original body and mind socket come from.
The "kill it" that still bothered her in her dream, as well as the reason why her father left home, presumably Aunt Chu should also know something.
When Aunt Chu saw Xu Chu and Ah Qiu coming back, she greeted the two happily, and then recorded the treatment discussed today and handed it to Dr. Zhou, and told him to distribute it to various medical centers the next day.
After Dr. Zhou left, Xu Chu found a seat and sat down, with a faint expression and a smile, "Auntie said last time that she could help me eliminate the scar in my heart, but can I still count?" ”
Aunt Chu was stunned, and looked at Xu Chu with an indifferent face. Seeing that Xu Chu was as immobile as a mountain, her expression was indifferent, and her heart suddenly chuckled, and her eyes gradually became waves.
"Why is the eldest lady so hesitant?" After Xu Chu finished speaking, he reached out and touched the teapot on the table, and said to Ah Qiu, who was a little dazed, with a smile, "The water in the pot is cold, Ah Qiu may help me boil a hot pot?" ”
Ah Qiu is weak at this time, how dare he say no. She smiled at Xu Chu almost flatteringly, grabbed the teapot and slipped out of the room.
There was no Ah Qiu in the room, and the atmosphere was much lower in an instant, and even Xu Chu's eyes were a little cold.
She knocked on the table rhythmically and said softly, "A few days ago, I accidentally saw the portrait of the British Duchess Sun Ruan Ruan, but I found that my appearance was not much different from her. ”
Speaking of this, she paused first, and then continued unhurriedly, "Later, when I entered the palace to investigate the case, when I met the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother seemed to be very surprised by my appearance, and asked me what I had to do with the Jinling Sun family. ”
Xu Chu's tone was very slow, but there was no emotional fluctuation, coupled with the clicking sound she made from tapping on the table, which made Aunt Chu upset for a while and didn't know how to respond.
Simply, Xu Chu didn't think about asking her to respond, but looked at her fixedly, and a ray of light overflowed in his eyes to sneer, "I didn't think much about it at that time. ”
"However, just today, I found that Ah Qiu actually had many similarities with Meiyu, the second prince of the most portrait and the first emperor, which surprised me very much. So, auntie, can you tell me that the reason why you brought Ah Qiu to Xu Mansion to live temporarily is really just to facilitate the discussion of medical skills with Dr. Zhou and others? ”
