Chapter 31: Peach Blossom Pattern
In the study, a pile of things was thrown to the ground.
The eldest prince stood behind the desk with gloomy eyes, picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it against the wall.
The paperweight hit a calligraphy and painting, and a hole was cut on the top, cutting the four characters of loyalty, righteousness, courtesy and honesty in half.
The eldest prince stared at the scratched calligraphy and painting, his eyes fell on the place where the calligraphy and painting were signed, and the anger in his eyes was even stronger, and he walked quickly, tearing off the calligraphy and painting and tearing it apart.
After a while, the door was opened, and he indifferently instructed the servants outside, "Burn the things on the ground." ”
The servants were busy, but their faces changed when they saw what was on the ground.
They were all in charge of the study, so they knew what was on the ground.
Those are all books, calligraphy and paintings given by the Duke of Rongguo to the great prince.
Thinking of the recent rumors, the two servants secretly glanced at each other, and then hurriedly cleaned up.
In the Rongguo Mansion, the old lady was helped out of the study by the servants, and it could be seen from the look on her face that her conversation with Rong Guogong was not very smooth.
The old lady is the wife of Rong Guogong, the first lady of the order, and the biological mother of the current queen.
But she is not Mu Wuye's biological mother, so in matters of Mu Shaochen, her performance is only indifferent.
Originally, Rong Guogong rejected his daughter's request in order to save Mu Shaochen, and she was already depressed in her heart.
Now that such remarks have come out again, but Grandpa Guo still didn't make any statement, and decided to continue this matter, which made her more and more angry, and hated Mu Wu's family to the core.
However, it was Bai Tang who was hated the most by her, and she almost pushed the source of all disputes on Bai Tang.
Fortunately, the Guogong Mansion is not a place where she covers the sky with one hand, and Bai Tang has the order of the Guogong on her side, and she can't interfere, otherwise Bai Tang will have a headache.
At noon, Wei Jiuli came to the Rongguo Mansion again, but this time he brought one more person.
Seeing the visitor, Bai Tang was a little surprised.
Wei Jiuli brought a woman, and this woman also has a relationship with Bai Tang.
In other words, she is the source of Bai Tang's involvement in this matter.
"Lord Bai, I'm bothered." The person who came was the woman surnamed Qian who Bai Tang rescued in the lake, named Qian Xinyi, one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in the imperial city, the seventh lady of the Qian family.
"Miss Qian." Bai Tang also bowed his head at her.
Qian Xinyi's face was slightly surprised, probably because she didn't expect Bai Tang to remember her, and her eyebrows couldn't help but soften a lot.
Bai Tang looked at Wei Jiuli and didn't understand why he brought this over.
Wei Jiuli said, "Miss Qian's visit is related to this case. ”
Qian Xinyi nodded, pursed her lips and hesitated slightly, and said, "I don't know if what I know can help." ”
"Miss Qian, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Baitang Road.
"Liu Gongzi ......" Qian Xinyi heard this, so she said what she had noticed in her heart, most of which were some abnormalities from the contact with that Liu Sangongzi some time ago.
"You mean, he was more forgetful during that time?"
"I can't be sure, but now that I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, some things that Liu Gongzi talked about with me, sometimes he seems to pause suddenly when he talks about a certain place, as if he has an impression of something, but he suddenly can't remember, I don't know if this is abnormal."
Wei Jiuli said suddenly, "In Yu Qian's confession, there seems to be a similar sense of ambiguity. ”
Bai Tang was stunned.
"In addition, as Miss Qian just said, there was also a highly appreciated strange woman in Yu Qian's mouth, but what the two of them said was not the same person." Wei Jiuli lowered his eyes and thought, his fingers clicked on the tabletop, and his eyebrows slowly stretched, as if he had thought of something.
When Bai Tang saw his expression, he knew that he should think of some clues.
"Thank you Miss Qian for informing me today, this is very important to the facts of the case."
Qian Xinyi hurriedly stood up, "No, this is what I should do, and I also want to clear my ...... for Liu Sangongzi" She pursed her lips.
Bai Tang and Wei Jiuli glanced at each other.
Wei Jiuli asked his subordinates to send Qian Xinyi back, and ordered someone to go to Qian's mansion to protect him secretly.
waited for others to leave, and only then did he tell Bai Tang about some of the things he had just thought of.
"I want to check Yu Sanye's physical condition, is it okay?" After listening to his story, Bai Tang thought for a while and asked.
"Let's go to the General's Mansion now." Wei Jiuli thought about it and got up.
Bai Tang ordered the people outside to guard this place, and asked people to go and talk to Rong Guogong, and then left with Wei Jiuli.
In the general's mansion, I heard that Bai Tang wanted to check Yu Qian's body, and the faces of the old general and the others suddenly changed.
It's not that I'm afraid of being known.
Now that Bai Tang was invited into the mansion by Rong Guogong to save Mu Shaochen, the matter has been boiling outside.
I have been a colleague for decades, not to mention that I know the best, but I also know each other's temperament.
If it weren't for Bai Tang really having some skills, how could the old guy risk having a dislike with his grandson and hand over Mu Shaochen's life to Bai Tang.
Therefore, as soon as he heard Bai Tang mention his youngest son's body, his heart was raised, thinking about whether the youngest son was also poisoned like Mu Shaochen.
As long as they thought of Mu Shaochen's festering appearance, their hearts were a little colder.
Even Yu Sanye, who has always acted unscrupulously and is as bold as a tiger, heard this, and his face turned a little pale.
Bai Tang didn't understand where they thought, but she didn't explain.
Because of this, her eyes when she looked at Yu Qian were a little more solemn.
Her system is passive, and she doesn't like to scan anyone casually, so she skipped Yu Qian before.
At the same time as she spoke, she had already opened the system to scan Yu Qian.
What surprised her was that Yu Qian actually had a poison similar to Mu Shaochen's body in his body.
It's just that Yu Qian's poison is very weak, it seems that it is only contaminated with a trace, and this poison has not come alive.
If it weren't for the system's recording and analysis of the poison, it would probably not have been detected even if it had been scanned before.
"I wonder how the white girl will check?" Yu Qian was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and asked.
Bai Tang turned his head to look at Wei Jiuli and nodded invisibly.
Wei Jiuli's eyes opened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Please move into the house." Wei Jiu Li Dao.
The rest of the people looked at each other, looking at the serious expressions of the two, and couldn't help but become more nervous.
Yu Qian began to calm down, but instead calmed down everyone, and took Bai Tang and the two to the back room.
"Loose clothes." Entering the room, Bai Tang said lightly, and then raised his hand to remove the jade hairpin from between his hair.
Her tone was flat, but it made both men stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while, and their faces were stunned.
"How?" Seeing Yu Qian's eyes wide staring at her, but not moving, Bai Tang couldn't help frowning.
"How do you check it, what is this?" Wei Jiuli's face sank, but he still hid his emotions and asked in a low voice.
"I need poisoning to be sure." As he spoke, he looked at Yu Qian again, and the urging in his eyes was obvious.
Wei Jiuli's face darkened a little more, and he raised his eyes to look at Yu Qian, his eyes that were already like ink seemed to be a little deeper, and he stared at Yu Qian so calmly, seeing that the other party's back was cold.
Yu Qian unconsciously pulled up his clothes, didn't understand why he suddenly felt cold, and said a little unnaturally, "Where do you want to take it off?" ”
After saying this, he suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, and couldn't help but glance around, how did he feel as if he was being stared at by something dangerous.
