Chapter 70: Post-mortem
"The Heavenly Family sent the Yulin Army over, quickly, go and inform the boatman to come to shore!"
“……”
There was a loud voice in the middle, and it was obvious that the person in charge had arrived. Who it was, Wen Qingwu didn't know just by listening to the voice.
"If King Wu is fine, Sumire will retire." Wen Qingwu didn't want to dwell on it anymore, so he bowed, and was about to take two steps back and turn around and walk down the stairs.
I never thought that the stairs behind me were too close, and I would take half a step back, and my body stepped into the air and tilted over. Liuji was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but before he could hold it, he saw that Wu Wang Li Ke had already made a move and supported Wen Qingwu's body before him.
Wen Qingwu stood firmly, glanced at Li Ke lukewarmly, there was no gratitude on his face, calmly brushed away Li Ke's hand, and said calmly: "Thank you." Then he turned and went down the stairs.
With the experience of late-night trysts, she is now very wary of the unmarried men of the princes and nobles of Tianzhou. I dare not go beyond or be a little involved.
At least not yet.
Li Ke looked at Wen Qingwu, who had never looked at him from beginning to end, and laughed to himself: "She is the first person who has not looked at me sideways. After that, he gently stroked his flower-like face: "No, it's the first one who doesn't even look at me." ”
"Why didn't you see it?" Qiu Sheng, the personal attendant, was puzzled.
Li Ke turned a deaf ear and sighed to himself: "How can you not lose your temper?" ”
Qiusheng secretly rolled his eyes. Retract your gaze and look down the stairs.
"It's really unnoticed!" Qiusheng looked at Wen Qingwu's back and said flatly.
Li Ke put the folding fan away, and hit Qiusheng's head with the handle of the fan: "It's obviously unique." ”
"It's unique." He said. Li Ke put the fan in the palm of his hand and looked at the back of Wen Qingwu walking down, the warm smile on his face disappeared, and only thought remained.
Qiusheng covered his beaten head, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. looked at his own prince who was staring at the back of others in a daze, and he was full of slander in his heart.
The prince must have read too much of the book if he bought it from the maid in the house in the past few days. It's that weird! What's the name of the book for those poisonous people?
Evil boss looking for love? Or the domineering shopkeeper don't go?
"Let's go, let's take a look." Li Ke slapped the palm of his hand with the handle of the fan, and walked to the bottom of the stairs with his hands behind his back.
Before Wen Qingwu could reach the deck, he was stopped by the Yulin Army guarding the layers.
"Talents, please come back, there is a decree from the saint, everyone stays in their own place, and they are not allowed to move around at will."
Wen Qingwu stopped and looked at the deck.
A group of wet people on the deck were wringing water stains on their bodies, apparently having just gone down to the river to fish for people. On the deck next to the group of people, about half an hour, lay a white-soaked corpse, which had not been in the water for a long time, and the corpse was not swollen.
There were men in civilian clothes hurrying over. Si Mu, who was dressed in silver armor, stood aside and guarded, staring at Qin Andao's corpse tightly.
"Talent, please come back." The Yulin Army who stopped in front of him spoke righteously.
Wen Qingwu glanced at Yu Linjun who was stopping, his eyes swept over the corpse, and when he turned around, he saw that the servant who was squatting beside Qin Andao turned the corpse over.
Black blood oozed from the corners of his swollen and purple eyes.
While he was shocked, Wen Qingwu paused.
At this moment, Wen Qingwu heard someone behind him calling him. She turned her head and saw Su Jinli following a man towards this side. In front of him was the handsome and tall crown prince Li Zhen.
Wen Qingwu took a step back and bowed: "Sumire will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Wen Qingwu, he was amazed for a moment, quickly moved away, and walked forward without distraction.
The Yulin Army, who was blocking on both sides, immediately retreated to the side to make way.
Su Jinli followed behind and waved at Wen Qingwu. Wen Qingwu understood and quickly followed.
"Why is the crown princess here?" Wen Qingwu asked in a low voice.
"It's Concubine De Niangniang, who asked me to follow the prince to take a look." Su Jinli replied: "What about you, why did you come?" ”
"Just watch the excitement." Wen Qingwu is as good as a stream.
Su Jinli looked at Wen Qingwu in surprise, a little surprised.
The people on the deck have been cleared, the entire deck is empty, and the side is surrounded by the Yulin Army, and in the open space in the middle, only Qin Andao's body lying on the ground and the officials squatting next to him are left. and Si Mu, who was guarding the side, wearing a long sword and silver armor.
Seeing the group coming here, several officials from the Criminal Department, Yu Linjun and the servants stood up and saluted.
"The lower officials see His Royal Highness the Prince, see the Crown Princess."
Li Zhen walked to Qin Andao's side, looked at the pale body of Qin Andao, and frowned.
"What did you find?" Li Zhen spoke.
"It is being tested, it has not yet been concluded, and I dare not make a judgment." One of them was a little older, wearing a two-beam stretched head and a silverfish charm on his belt.
Wen Qingwu's gaze finally withdrew from the corpse's face and looked at the person who spoke. Silverfish charms, worn by officials of the fifth to third grades. The two beams are also worn by officials above the five grades. Serving in the Criminal Department, is it a squire?
Estimating his identity, Wen Qingwu turned his gaze to the other one next to him.
"Lay your legs flat." Su Jinli next to him spoke.
Wen Qingwu heard the sound and turned his head to see the attendant following Su Jinli squatting down and placing the body upright. After receiving the white gloves made of pig underwear handed by one of the attendants, in Wen Qingwu's surprised eyes, Su Jinli took them and squatted down.
At this moment, Wen Qingwu finally knew why Concubine Jiang Defei would let Su Jinli, who was a noble lady and was still the crown princess, come over.
"The body was frozen for only five minutes, and it died in half an hour to an hour." Su Jinli squatted beside him, pressing the bare skin of the corpse.
Wen Qingwu looked at Su Jinli in shock.
"The face is strange, remember." Su Jinli's face was close to the corpse, staring at the fingertips carefully, and putting it down. Gaze pondering.
Then he probed again.
Under Li Zhen's instructions, several servants and officials from the Criminal Department next to him followed Su Jinli to examine the body.
Although he was not born as a man, he thought he had a man's heroism and ambition. Rao was like this, and Wen Qingwu never thought that he would personally go forward to check the body.
Although the heart is a man, she is already the daughter of a famous lady and a nobleman in the palace.
How can a woman touch these?
In the previous life, she was in a famous family, although she did not have to abide by the three obedience and four virtues of women, but she had seen too many people who stayed at home, and all her relatives and sisters were bound to hide their feet. The number of times I have been out in my life is only a handful, not to mention that in front of everyone, I came to the autopsy as the concubine of the East Palace of the Ouchi Palace.
For her, there is no right or wrong. But it was extremely shocking.
Wen Qingwu's shocked expression slowly narrowed, and he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, looking at Su Jinli, who was engrossed in examining the corpse. Her eyebrows are curved like willow leaves, her face does not have the exaggerated makeup of their palace concubines or delicate little daughters, there is no plum blossom on her forehead, and her cheeks are not covered with carmine.
Among the many warblers and swallows on the boat, they look particularly beautiful and dusty.
They often say that the ancients were like barbarians. I have not been educated, I don't know the defense of men and women, I don't know that men and women are seven years old, and I don't know how to follow the four virtues.
And at this moment, when she was in it as a woman, and then looked at Su Jinli who was looking at the corpse intently, she seemed to have figured out something.
Although it is equivalent to the ancients thousands of years ago, compared with her, who was in the Ming Dynasty, she is actually more tolerant and comfortable.
Perhaps, the previous life, and then the nostalgia of a thousand years ago.
Thinking about the prosperous Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, in fact, it does not lie in the vast territory, nor in the style of the Celestial Empire where "all nations are clothed and crowned". It lies in Li Bai's poems and Wang Wei's paintings. lies in Wang Han's chic and bold lying on the battlefield, and in Li Yishan's incorrigible romance and affection. lies in the bright and moving smile of tens of thousands of folk women singing and dancing in the suburbs......
"What, what do you see?" An abrupt voice sounded behind him, and his tone was casual, like the gossip of an old acquaintance.
The voice interrupted Wen Qingwu's thoughts. She turned her head to look at Li Ke, who had walked next to her at some point.
