Chapter 413: Entering the Palace

"Miss, Miss? Are you in there?. There was a soft call outside the door.

In the bright pharmacy, the plain clothes and simple bun of the jade, is holding a delicate copper scale in one hand, and the other hand is quickly loaded on the paper, the white face is a little green and yellow, she put down the pen, with very thin fingers flexibly twisted out some light green herbs in the weighing pan, after seeing the balance on both sides of the scale rod, she wrote down the number, and hastily replied:

"Wait, I'll get out right now, don't come in."

There is a strange smell of vanilla in this house, and those who take antidote smell harmless and beneficial, but outsiders can't do it, I'm afraid that after a few more sips, they will start to talk nonsense.

Pingtong stood outside the door, pacing a little anxiously, and after hearing the "squeak" of the door, he turned his head to see the Yiyu who closed the door and turned his head, frowned, and said with a wry smile:

"Miss, do you know what day it is, why do you still get up early in the morning to come here to consume, it's almost noon, listen to the slave's advice, hurry up and eat something, and then take a bath, the prince has to go into the palace to live at night, before he leaves, you have to at least have a meal with him, after today, you will not be able to see you again after the New Year."

Since she was persuaded to take a break by Guozi, she declared that she was sick to the outside world, and she didn't even go to the Literature Museum, and those who paid attention to her movements only thought that she had left Chang'an and lived in the town, but she didn't know that she was in the Wei Palace.

Pingtong and Pinghui, the two maids, were picked up by Li Tai from Longquan Town, and the clothes were left to live. Yi Yu didn't care if someone was looking for her outside, she was anxious, since Li Tai cleaned up the pharmacy for her, she drowned in it all day, and half a month passed, and at the end of the year, according to royal customs, several princes who had become adults and opened the palace were declared to return to the palace to live temporarily, and Li Tai was the same.

was nagged by Pingtong, Yiyu went in his left ear and out of his right ear, but he was thinking in his heart about how to improve the medicine he had just prepared to work better, until after bathing, he was pressed in front of the dressing table to comb his head, and then he came back to his senses and asked Pinghui, who was combing his hair:

"Is the prince back?"

Ping Hui didn't answer, and Ping Tong saw that she was only concerned about the topic at this time, so she grabbed the conversation and replied: "Not yet, Steward Li sent a message back, saying that the prince was having a banquet in Tianwei Pavilion at noon." ”

Li Tai has a group of subordinates, including some scholars from the Literature Museum, who will gather during the New Year's holidays.

"Oh," Yi Yu took the balm handed by Ping Hui, took out some and wiped it on the back of her hand, looked at Ping Tong who was picking out clothes for her on the side, and said, "Then he must have had lunch when he comes back, don't worry, you two." ”

It turned out that she listened to Pingtong's complaints, but this attitude really made Pingtong anxious: "Miss, do you really don't know, or do you not know, the prince went to the palace, and the young lady was to accompany her, although she lived in different palaces, she could always see each other once or twice a day." ”

When the prince enters the palace, he is accompanied by his own female dependents, and there are two concubines to take with him, and if there is none, then he will be called the unmarried man, which is a rule set since the first emperor, and it is a little means to maintain the thin human affection of the royal family.

When Yi Yu heard her say this, she lost her voice, lowered her eyes, and carefully applied the balm on her hands.

Oriental Pearl, so far, she has only been in front of Li Tai once, that is the day after she was persuaded to take a leave by Guozi, she tentatively asked him when he was going to marry the Miss Mingzhu, Li Tai's reaction made her a little confused, and only replied to her "This matter will be said after the year", and kept silent.

She understands Li Tai, and she hates to explain, saying whatever she says. When she came back from the woods outside the city that day, in order to calm her heart, it was really rare to say those words, although she had an idea in her heart, but she also knew that even if some things had to be dealt with, she could not be anxious and impatient.

"Miss, don't stick a wooden flute today, it's good to wear a few silver hairpins," Pinghui rummaged in the jewelry box collected from Longquan Town for a long time, and found a silver hairpin to come out.

"Huh? It doesn't seem to be made of silver. Pinghui has a vision, touched the hairpin a few times, and then said suspiciously, "How can it be heavier than gold." ”

Yi Yu raised her head, glanced at the hairpin in her hand, and said, "Why did you turn it out?" ”

This plum heart hairpin that looks like silver is not silver, and it is the jade that was presented to Mrs. Yang of the Nianping Tea House during the ritual art competition, and finally won the last woodcut. I was thinking of looking for an opportunity to return it, but afterwards she found the alley of tea-fragrant green trees, but it was already empty, and she couldn't find the owner's hairpin, so she left it.

"Is it a valuable, then it's better to put it away." Pingtong Road.

"No, just wear this." Yi Yu thought that before Li Tai came back, she could go to the backyard, afraid that she would not finish picking and picking, so she said so.

So Pinghui neatly pulled her hanging bun with her hands and feet, pinned the hairpin to one end, and fastened it around with a few pearl nails, cleaned it up, looked in the mirror, touched the little face that had eaten a little round recently, and then went upstairs to get something, took Yinxiao, and walked from the back hall of the Combing Pavilion to the backyard.

In the dark room, there was a faint smell of vanilla, the windows and doors were closed, and behind the thick curtains, there was no light at all, and a soft voice was heard, with some seduction:

“...... The eldest grandson called you to accompany the wine, and when he was drunk, he was talking nonsense, and suddenly saw a young girl passing by the window, so he left in a hurry. You thought it was different, so you followed... Outside the house, you see through the crack in the door that someone is smashing a candlestick on the back of his head - tell me, who is that man? ”

"Ah" exclaimed, through a somewhat trembling female voice, "Yes, it's Lu Gongzi, the Lu Gongzi of the Guozi Prison." ”

"Okay, you saw Lu Gongzi smash Changsun Lian, so frightened that he hurriedly hid aside, and after seeing him leave the room, in that room, another person appeared, this person picked up the candlestick on the ground, and knocked it on the back of Changsun Lian's head - tell me, do you know this person?."

“... No, no, only Lu Gongzi. ”

"No, yes, tell me, who is that person?"

“... Yes, yes, I saw, I saw—ah, I didn't see anything, it was Lu Gongzi who killed it, it was Lu Gongzi."

Hearing this scream, with a soft sigh, Yu Yu got up and went to open the window in the dark, and when the room was bright again, she turned her head to look at the woman lying on the soft couch, who was struggling with her waving hand, walked over and stuffed a pill into her mouth, and after a while, she was quiet and fell asleep.

This woman is none other than the Fuyao girl that Li Tai helped her find from the eldest grandson's family not long ago.

In the case that all the clues disappeared, even if there was only one possibility, she had to start looking for it, but at the beginning, this Fu Yao insisted that it was Lu Zhi who killed her, and even after Li Tai had people punish her heavily, she still insisted. But it was precisely this that made Yu Yu suspicious, she didn't know what punishment Li Tai's subordinates had inflicted on this woman, but an ordinary Qinglou woman could withstand a heavy punishment that a big man couldn't survive and not let go, which was strange in itself, but she didn't seem to be deliberately lying.

Yi Yu wondered if she had a similar experience of being hypnotized, so she only remembered the part where Lu Zhi "killed", and forgot about the person who committed the murder later.

After discussing with Li Tai, he relied on special channels to help her collect more than a dozen related books for her reference in just a few days, so she settled down and studied a hypnotic drug on the splendid poison scroll - Zhimengsan.

The complex poison, made by a mixture of twenty-one rare poisonous herbs, is extracted by a special method to resemble a solid like incense, and when it is lit in a furnace, it will emit a smell that can induce people to tell all the things that this person has ever experienced.

However, due to the lack of medicinal materials and experience, she could only barely make streamlined medicines, and the effectiveness of the drugs was greatly reduced. After the test, this was the third time she used it on Fuyao, and she felt some interrogation skills, but it really fulfilled her guess from the clues - this Fuyao girl was really for some artificial reasons, and she couldn't tell the real murderer of Changsun Lian.

Raising his hand to cover the woman on the couch with a quilt, Yi Yu extinguished the incense burner, hugged it, called Yinxiao who was waiting on the side, and returned to the Combing Pavilion.

"Yo!" Yinxiao, who was walking on the side with a snow-white body, screamed briefly.

"Well, I'm hungry too."

Li Tai did not return home until the evening, and Pingtong hurriedly found the jade who was boiling porridge in the small kitchen.

"Miss, the prince is back, calling you over, the next person is packing up his things, it seems that he is about to enter the palace."

"In such a hurry?" Yi Yu frowned, took off the apron on her waist, and told the cook to watch the fire, so she followed her away, and when she approached the front hall, she grabbed her again, patted the flour on her clothes, and smoothed the corners of her skirt.

Lifting the curtain and entering the front hall, Yi Yu turned his head and saw Li Tai, who was sitting on a mahogany cloud chair drinking tea, wearing a formal purple and gold regular dress, wearing a gold crown on his bun, and he looked like he was about to enter the palace.

"Your Highness." Walking up to him and saluting, she swept around the people who were carrying their luggage in the hall, and asked, "This is leaving?" ”

"Hmm."

"Have you had dinner?" Yu Yu scratched her earlobes, and in the middle of the afternoon, she was preparing dinner in the kitchen, thinking that he could have a meal together before leaving.

"There is a family banquet in the palace in the evening."

"Oh." A touch of disappointment flashed across his face, and he felt a little lost when he thought that he would not be able to come back until fifteen, but he still beat his spirit and said:

"I made you a snack that you can consider, can you bring it?"

"Hmm." Li Tai's eyes flashed, answered, lowered his head and drank tea, but when it was, Ah Sheng walked out of the side room with something, and when he saw the Yu Yu who was still standing in the front hall, he asked in wonder:

"Miss, why don't you go and pack your things, we'll leave in a while."

Yi Yu looked back at him with a confused expression, and then heard Li Tai say in a low voice:

"You don't have to clean up, just change your clothes."

"Yes" Pingtong, who had already understood the situation, took Ah Sheng's handover to a brand-new waiter, couldn't hide his joy, and pulled Yuyu back to the room to change clothes.
