Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Yellow Spring
Did he find anything?
He is now He Ling'er, the fifth lady of the He family, no matter how much he dislikes Empress Dowager Jiang, he can't connect the two completely strangers. Jiang Cailing thought of this and was about to pretend to be stupid, so she raised her eyes, looked at Gu Jiming with a look of ignorance, and couldn't explain: "Gu Xiang? ”
Gu Jiming shook his head.
"Gu Jiming?"
Gu Jiming frowned and shook his head again.
"Gu Ye."
Gu Jiming's deep eyes looked at her, and said word by word: "Ling'er, it's okay if you don't want to call me now, we will have a long future." ”
Jiang Cailing's back was stunned, her face was still covered with a layer of ignorance, and she said shallowly, "Ling'er doesn't understand what Gu Xiang is talking about." ”
Gu Jiming lowered his head, continued to look at the book in his hand, and with the sound of turning the pages, he said lightly, "Pour me a cup of tea." ”
"You are not well yet, and it is not good to drink tea, I will pour you a glass of warm water." As he spoke, he poured a glass of warm water from the kettle and handed it to Gu Jiming, "I saw that there were wolfberries on the table, so I soaked them in water, which is suitable for you to drink now." ”
Taking the white jade teacup, Gu Jiming put the scroll aside, and said inadvertently, "Do you know medicine?" ”
"I haven't read a medical book, but I still know these things."
"The pill you gave me is very effective, and someone has given me an identical pill before, but now that person is gone."
Jiang Cailing knew that the person Gu Jiming was talking about was her, she was shocked but her face did not change, and she asked lightly, "Are you friends with her?" ”
"No, she and I are not even friends, she is dead, it should be said that the whole world celebrates, and everyone is happy."
The phrase "everyone is happy" reminded Jiang Cailing of the scene of gongs, drums and firecrackers on both sides of the road when she was eating noodles alone in a noodle restaurant on the third day after her death.
Jiang Cailing smiled bitterly in her heart, and said in her heart: Jiang Cailing, Jiang Cailing, what else are you expecting?
She has never defended what she did, she couldn't justify it when she was the queen mother before, and she was too lazy to justify it after she was reborn. After so many years, Jiang Cailing finally couldn't help but defend herself: "Empress Dowager Jiang has been in charge of the government for many years, but the country is still peaceful and prosperous, maybe ...... She's not as bad as everyone says. ”
"Then how do you explain that she killed all the founding ministers?"
"Perhaps...... It is because these old ministers have a heart of disobedience, the country is easy to attack and difficult to defend, some people even if they are the food of the king, enjoy the food of Zhong Mingding, but the desire breeds more ambition in the hotbed of prosperity, they are not satisfied with the status quo, they want to climb to the position above 10,000 people, even if it is under one person, they don't want to endure it anymore. ”
"So if you kill 10,000 by mistake, don't let it go?" Gu Jiming's eyes were dark and shining, looking at Jiang Cailing as if she was scolding her for killing innocents indiscriminately, under the faint gaze, Jiang Cailing felt that she was defenseless and was seen clearly by Gu Jiming, as if she was looking at others through herself, Jiang Cailing couldn't help but have the urge to open her lips and speak.
She didn't know if these people were rebellious, but since they were on the list, she would get rid of them one by one.
Even if it's like that little prince, no matter how much she can't bear it, she still has to get rid of it after all, if it doesn't die in her hands, Emperor Zhaohong will send someone else to do it.
Emperor Zhaohong has never liked to gamble, except for her, there must be other eyeliner.
The sun had risen a lot, and the ointment in the room was now only dregs, and the elegantly laid out room fell into an endless silence, giving people a sense of oppression.
Jiang Cailing thought about how wrong it was, so it was better not to say it, so she simply looked at the room. Suddenly, a picture scroll came into her sight, it was a small portrait she had painted for Gu Jiming, at that time Gu Jiming was arguing with the imperial historian about land planning, she knew that Gu Jiming would definitely persuade the imperial history, so she took the pen and drew a small portrait according to Gu Jiming's appearance, and later gave it to him.
Just when Jiang Cailing didn't know what it was like in her heart, Gu Jiming continued to speak, "But I miss her very much, she will always make me laugh when I'm bored, and talk to me when I'm lonely."
While everyone was celebrating, I was thinking of one thing, I couldn't accompany her to the Yellow Spring, but if there was an afterlife, I hoped that it would be the one who would make her happy and dispel her loneliness. ”
The clear voice is a little low because of the injury, as if it has a grainy version of hoarseness, but it is unexpectedly gentle and beautiful.
Jiang Cailing looked at those black eyes, a pair of inky black eyes reflected her surprised look, and a pair of apricot eyes unabashedly exuded a look of shock.
If it's a dream, why is it so real......
How could such words come out of Gu Jiming's mouth......
Then, Jiang Cailing's apricot eyes widened in surprise flashed with a mocking look.
Miss her so much?
What do you think of her, do you still expect her from him when she is impaled by a sword? Think about how she was stupid and stupid and trapped in his beautiful man's scheme?
Thinking of this, Jiang Cailing didn't care about restraining herself, and sneered, "What a poor and poor person who fell into the Yellow Spring, I originally thought that Gu Xiang was cold and not close to women, but I didn't expect that he was also an infatuated species, and I don't know which woman in the world can get Gu Xiang's sincerity, it is really fortunate that there is green smoke on the ancestral grave." ”
"Do you understand?" Gu Jiming grabbed Jiang Cailing's wrist, and the touch from her wrist was obviously a cool and comfortable temperature, but Jiang Cailing felt extremely hot.
It seems that along that skin, the wildfires spread all over the mountains and fields on the skin of her body, forming a prairie fire, and there is a feeling of wind blowing and rebirth. Gu Jiming's every breath was like a gust of wind that would blow in and out for Jiang Cailing.
In order to prevent herself from being burned to a blackened dried corpse, Jiang Cailing shook off Gu Jiming's hand and hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out.
Now it is still important to catch the real culprit, Jiang Cailing shook her head and suppressed the thoughts in her heart, Zhu San was imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple because he was suspected of perjury.
Jiang Cailing hurried to Dali Temple, and finally brought Cao Ke's witness Zhu San under the leadership of the cell boss.
It is only because this case is very special that Jiang Cailing also has to have an edict to be able to interrogate Zhu San.
The conditions of the prison were quite harsh, and it was obvious that someone had cleaned it beforehand, but it was still full of damp musty smells that had mixed together.
I saw that Zhu San was sloppy and unkempt at the moment, like a little beggar on the street. Jiang Cailing sat solemnly and looked at Zhu San coldly, this momentum made people feel afraid. She asked, "You said yesterday, but this girl hit you?" ”
Zhu San looked up at Bai He, and his words were indignant: "It's you, it's you girl who wants to blackmail my money!" ”
Bai He hid behind Jiang Cailing, with tears in his eyes, and said aggrievedly:
"Girl, you know what I did yesterday."
She naturally believes this white lotus, but what if this Zhu San accepts benefits and perjuries?
Jiang Cailing raised her eyebrows and asked unhurriedly: "How did you know that it was the girl in front of you?" ”
Zhu San sneered: "If Miss He doesn't believe it, it's better to see if there is a mole on your maid's neck!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Cailing frowned.
On the side, Bai He fell to the ground and cried:
"Girl, you have to believe me, I will definitely not do such a brainless thing."
Yes, Bai He's stamina does have a mole. She tapped on the table and motioned for others to help Bai He up.
"Bai He, I believe in you, you have to believe that the Qing is self-purifying, what you and I didn't do is what we didn't do, now you go out and wait for me first." After Bai He went out, he turned his head to Zhu San, "Do you know that according to the law, those who commit perjury are guilty of ......."
Jiang Cailing paused: "Can be punished, if it is related to the country, the nine clans will be punished!" ”
Zhu San was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, he said tremblingly: "Girl, as a vegetable farmer who sells vegetables, it is impossible for me to commit perjury in anything, although my family is poor, but I have not done anything hurtful, I have always had better eyesight, I saw clearly yesterday, that girl is exactly the same as the girl's maid, especially the mole on the neck!" ”
Seeing that Zhu San looked sincere, it was not a lie, especially Bai He's mole, which was indeed a real existence, and he had no motive to kill Hejia, not to mention that Bai He's whole body was weak and weak yesterday, how could he climb up to the Star Picking Tower and push a princess who could be put on her own floor downstairs?
"How can one identify a person as my maid based on a mole?"
Zhu San sat down and frowned, thinking seriously: "That girl has a very peculiar fragrance!" The villain's family is poor and doesn't know what it smells like, but he knows that it smells extremely good! ”
Fragrance? Let's start with the scent.
"In that case, then you might as well recognize that smell as the scent of my maid."
After a short time, the guards brought several sachets and placed them in front of Zhu San one by one. Jiang Cailing pointed to the many sachets:
"Smell it."
There are dozens of sachets of various fragrances here, Xu is Jiang Cailing's "Zhujiu Clan" scared Zhu San, Zhu San picked up the sachet and sniffed it carefully. Then, with the sudden reduction of the sachet, Zhu San's eyebrows also wrinkled tighter and tighter.
Half-loud, he said, "It's not like that." ”
Jiang Cailing was not surprised by his answer, she stood up and asked carefully, "Is there any of them?" ”
"Didn't the girl mean to play tricks on me? I play with the taste that there is not! Zhu San's face was full of indignation, Jiang Cailing didn't care about him, he took out one of the many sachets, and called someone to pass on the white lotus.
After Bai Lotus entered, Jiang Cailing threw the sachet in her hand into Zhu San's arms, and asked Bai Lotus to approach Zhu San, and asked Zhu Sanzai to smell it carefully.
This is the personal sachet of the white lotus, the sachet is such a thing, if you wear it for a long time, even you will have the smell of the sachet on your body, and it is absolutely impossible to change it in a short time and change the taste.
Zhu San also knew this reason, and he was stunned: "That taste...... It is rich and fragrant, with a hint of mint. If it's not this girl now, how should you face it the day after tomorrow? ”
Day after tomorrow? Jiang Cailing's mind flashed like a flash of Su Qingcheng's words, "I wish you a good day after tomorrow." ”
Su Qingcheng's family is also in the spice business, and he is currently the most suspicious person, so you might as well go to his house to have a look.
"Bai He, let's go to Su Mansion!"
