But who would blow up that house with gunpowder? And the huge courtyard is not damaged anywhere else, except for the alchemy room.

What was the purpose of that person, did he want to expose the secrets of the Dong family, or did the bones in the dark room have something else? Or maybe it's for the short bones that don't belong to children?

Thinking of this, Xu Chu sent someone to fetch the evidence found today. She handed the wooden hairpin to Xiao Qinglang and said, "This is found on the adult dwarfism woman who died first, I look at it like the hairpin used by Dao Gu's hairpin, but I can't be sure." But there are some lines on it, I think the prince can probably understand it."

Xiao Qinglang took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a female Taoist priest of the Danding faction." ”

He saw that Xu Chu was still a little puzzled, so he explained, "There are many schools of Taoism, among which there is the Danding sect with alchemy as the longest, and it is also known as Jindan Taoism by the world. Originally, the Danding faction was developed by Huang Lao Taoism, but with the decline of Taoism in later generations, the world blurred its original appearance, and all the Taoist schools in Taoism that mainly focused on alchemy and seeking immortals became the Danding faction. ”

"According to historical records, the elixir of the Danding faction mostly refers to the use of furnace ding to smelt lead, mercury and other ore drugs to prepare an ingestible immortal golden pill. In the final analysis, it is just the pursuit of immortality and immortality. ”

"Neidan, on the other hand, is cultivating with himself as the culmination."

Xu Chu said clearly: "Sure enough." ”

"Then has the Danding faction ever recorded alchemy with the blood of a virgin?" She hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask.

Xiao Qinglang put the wooden hairpin in his hand on the table, nodded and said, "Alchemy originally originated from the pre-Qin immortal magic, and later passed on some details to later generations, including a sect that branched off from the Dan sect. According to them, with virgin blood alchemy, women can stay young forever, and men can regain their vigor. In the previous dynasty, there were eunuchs who coerced the Son of Heaven to seek wealth and nobility, and in order to regenerate men and roots, they searched all over the world for strange people and strange things to diagnose and treat him, and the Taoist priest who used blood to refine the pill was born from this. It's just that, according to the records of the history of the barnyard official, all the virgin blood should be in the peach forest. If it is harsh, it will also require the jasper to break the melon, but I have never heard of using the blood of a girl in medicine. ”

"Moreover, the so-called virgin blood is not the blood of broken melons, but the blood of the virgin body."

This point, even if he is familiar with history books and has insight into the miscellaneous discussions of the barnyard official history, he cannot explain the reason.

After several people summarized the facts of the case, they each withdrew.

Before leaving the Three Law Divisions, Xiao Qinglang took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Ning Subai, who still had a bitter face, and said, "Go and find your fox friends and dogs to have fun for the night, if you can find any useful news, the silver in this will be the king's invitation to you to eat and drink." ”

Ning Subai wiped a handful of non-existent sweat on his face, pouted and said, "Am I the one who lacks silver?" After speaking, he muttered, "This son is a person who lacks time, if my father knows that I am going to eat flowers and wine again, I am afraid that I will have to learn about the family law again." ”

Partial birth, the family law was personally formulated when his mother was there, no matter how muddy he was, he didn't dare to make trouble with his mother's relics.

At this point, it makes people feel inexplicably sorry for him.

Thinking about it, his relationship with the Protector Marquis was not salty or light, and it was not cultivated in a day, except for the reason why he was ignored by the Protector at the beginning. I'm afraid that most of the reason is because he is not worth it for his mother.

He thought that the Marquis of the Protector should miss his mother who died early as much as he did, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would also bring a beautiful concubine into the door.

This kind of sudden thing made him feel that his father had betrayed his mother, which made his mother's years of waiting and manipulation a joke.

However, he longed for his father's love in his heart, and even faintly attached to the protector. Therefore, he could not convince himself of complete indulgence, which made the protector of the country feel congested. and there is no way to forgive the protector, and then live the kind of life of filial piety and happiness between father and son.

Xiao Qinglang got up and stepped forward, and said casually, "That purse has the logo of Jing'an Palace, if you let the Protector Marquis see it, he will not teach you a lesson." ”

Ning Subai sighed, hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly pulled the purse that he had just thrown on the table casually. When he saw the patterns on it clearly, he immediately smiled and said, "It's still interesting enough for the prince, what did Lord Sikong say about Feng Niang?" Feng Niang, I know, I was originally the Oiran of Chunhualou, and I still have some friendship."

After he finished speaking, he put the purse into the placket of his chest and patted it uneasily.

When he saw that Xiao Qinglang was about to walk outside the door, he hurriedly shouted, "Hey, Lord Wang, aren't you going with Lord Xu?" The plum blossom wine in Chunhualou is very delicious, if you are not an old customer, you can't drink it at all. ”

Xu Chu listened to his excited invitation, and looked at Xiao Qinglang with some astonishment, "Could it be that Ning Shizi went to Hualou just to satisfy his hunger?" ”

Xiao Qinglang glanced sideways slightly, obviously not wanting to see Ning Subai jumping up and greeting them, he said weakly, "Of course not"

"Actually, in addition to plum blossom wine, he also likes Shen perfume from Yihong Courtyard, lychee paste water from Wuhualou, and snow bubbles with spring willows to shrink the spleen and fragrant herbs." Xiao Qinglang looked up at the already somewhat dark sky, and said very speechlessly.

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, "Then where did his nickname come from?" ”

"Probably because at the beginning, he was so excited that he bought a few jars of plum blossom wine from Chunhualou to entertain the guests who went to the Protector's Mansion for a banquet." Speaking of this, Xiao Qinglang's mind came to mind the pale faces of the original protector and the aunt. With the wine of Hualou, the idea of going to the banquet to celebrate the banquet of the Hou Hou of the Protector and the concubine is afraid that Ning Subai can think of it.

"What a quirk, how old was he then?" Xu Chu asked with some curiosity.

Xiao Qinglang smiled: "Only thirteen." ”

At the age of thirteen, he entered the flower building, and he was able to mingle with the girls in the flower building, and even took out the secret wine in the flower building to entertain guests. If he doesn't become a gentleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, I'm afraid it's difficult.

Of course, whether there is a means to make the aunt who can make the protector banquet invite everyone to open their faces, others do not know.

Xiao Qinglang saw that Xu Chu was thoughtful, so he said, "Compared to Mingzhu, he was born in a famous family and grew up arrogantly. Ning Subai can have today's heart, which is commendable. At the beginning, he was struggling in the Protector's Mansion, and he lost the protection of his elders at a young age, and his relatives and friends hated to let him die early so that he could take the opportunity to send his daughter into the mansion to enjoy the glory, or they hated that they could not let their father and son die in order to divide the property of the Hou's Mansion. At that time, he was in a difficult situation, not much better than when you were in the village. ”

"Even when the Queen Mother took him into the palace, everyone was worried that he would be resentful because of the things he had done when he was young, or that he would lose his pure nature and become dark and insidious."

His words carried a little sigh, which made Xu Chuting's heart a little more depressed.

A prince of the Hou Mansion who should be the pride of the sky, a child who should have been sought after by everyone and even carefully raised since childhood, became an existence that was not even as good as a slave overnight, and the kind of gap from the sky to the quagmire is the easiest to destroy people.

She didn't know how many secrets there were, but she could hear the sigh in Xiao Qinglang's words.

"Fortunately, he is optimistic, so he does not have a misanthropy."

The two said this, and they arrived in front of the Xu Mansion.

Because the Xu Mansion and the Jing'an Mansion are very close to each other, it is convenient for Xiao Qinglang to keep sending things over.

In the morning, when the two entered the palace together, the Xu Mansion was still very deserted and desolate, but coming back at this time made Xu Chu a little afraid to admit it.

Not to mention the new look inside, even the kitchen has fireworks. Moreover, Xu Chu also saw Aunt Chu who had been waiting in front of the door with a package on her back.

"Xiao Chu, you're back." As soon as Aunt Chu saw Xu Chu, she said kindly and eagerly, "I want to borrow it for a few days in your mansion, but I don't know if it's convenient or not." ”

Xu Chu was a little surprised by her sudden arrival, according to her understanding, Aunt Chu lived in Jing'an Mansion all the year round

However, although she was surprised, she welcomed the arrival of Aunt Chu very much. After all, there are still some problems in this case, and Aunt Chu needs to help test it.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Of course it's convenient, if the eldest lady doesn't come, I'm afraid that I will also go to the palace to find your help." ”

Aunt Chu listened to her words, and a heart was put in her stomach, but she still said with some hesitation, "Also, in the next few days, there may often be famous doctors and doctors in the capital who come to me, Xiao Chu, are you taboo?" ”

Speaking of which, Xu Chu can be regarded as having figured out the internal reason. I think it's because the so-called medical books she gave them at the beginning made many doctors fascinated, and even when they arrived in the capital, they were willing to get together to study it.

The Jing'an Mansion is not an ordinary place, and ordinary people don't say that they can enter and leave at will, even if they come to the door, they have to report it.

In this way, it made Aunt Chu feel inconvenient. But the inn outside, which will give her so free and convenient, and buying a house is not a matter of words.

After thinking about it, she also thought of Xu Chu here.

After thinking about these things clearly, Xu Chu said, "I, who have been born as a person, they are not taboo, how can I be taboo against those doctors who hang pots to help the world cure diseases and save people?" ”

With that, several people entered the courtyard gate. Of course, Xiao Qinglang's face did not change, and he followed the door without hesitation. The appearance of the leisurely stroll in the courtyard is as if this is the palace. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late at this time, there were many fewer people coming and going, and I was afraid that someone would have to whisper.

In Xu's Mansion, after a few people had a simple dinner, Xu Chu handed over the maggots and a pair of dirt objects collected from the corpse to Aunt Chu, asking her to help check whether they contained toxins.
