Chapter 442: Invisible Tattoo

The next day, Mo Guhan issued a holy decree to forgive Shen Shilang's sins and allow him to return to Guannai and serve as the county governor of a border town.

It is impossible to be rich and rich, but it is already more than the upper than the bottom, and it is solid and rich. The eunuch who delivered the decree returned to the palace a few days later, and at the same time brought the unfortunate news of the death of the baby girl born to Concubine Ling.

After the Queen Mother heard this, she only sighed, and there was no sadness. On the contrary, the stability of the Shen family made her finally unload her heavy burden, and her face became obviously ruddy.

Yuehua said that she wanted Chu Mubai and Zijin's family affairs to be delayed again, but after a few days, she called them into the palace and discussed, and they were married a year ago.

Chu Mubai and Zijin have already pierced the window paper, and everyone knows it, and now they are talking about it on the surface, but after a few ridicules, the two of them are all embarrassed and red-faced.

Chu Mu Bai Mune, "Sigh" for a long time without a happy word, Zijin is usually outspoken, bold and spicy, but now it is a lifelong event, it is rare to be shy, hide far away, to tease Hui'er and Rui'er.

Yuehua asked from afar, with ridicule: "There are different customs for a hundred miles, what customs are exquisite in your mansion, and what dowry is needed, you always have to squeak, so as not to be thoughtful and be blamed when the time comes." ”

Zijin simply turned his back and said embarrassedly: "It's all in accordance with the rules of the capital." ”

Yuehua smiled "hee-hee": "This bride is easy to deal with." ”

Chu Mubai scratched his head, and responded angrily: "Let's just do it simply, and we won't do it in a big way." ”

Yuehua couldn't help but cover her lips and smile: "My stupid brother, the granddaughter who was raised by others took the trouble to follow you, this bride price is indispensable." When I go back, I will send someone to Zijin's hometown to investigate, and we can't be rude. ”

Chu Mubai nodded, "Hmm": "It's all up to the queen's orders." ”

Mo Guhan on the side also joked: "You are an uncle's marriage, and Hui'er is going to give you a lantern, and it is indispensable to seal the silver when the time comes." Otherwise, in the first month of each year in the future, I will let Hui'er and Rui'er go to your house with scissors to pay New Year's greetings and ask for New Year's silver. ”

Yuehua asked in surprise: "Why do you still have to bring scissors for New Year's greetings?" ”

Mo Guhan gestured at his hair, Yuehua immediately came to his senses, and punched him in disgust: "you, what kind of bad idea is this?" If anyone dares to instigate the two children to cut their hair in the first month, I will definitely be anxious with him. ”

Mo Guhan laughed loudly. Chu Mubai calmed down, no longer so embarrassed: "If you can work to make lanterns, everyone in the world can't ask for it, and the silver should naturally be shared." ”

Several people talked and laughed, and Yuehua's eyebrows fluttered to plan the details of Chu Mubai's wedding day, and the palace people filled the table with a dazzling array of wine and food.

Yuehua turned around to greet Zijin, who was carrying a piccolo with him, and was whimpering and blowing on his lips, and the two little guys looked intently, and then stretched out their little hands to reach.

Zijin deliberately teased them, blowing intermittently while dodging, and laughing with crooked eyebrows.

Hui'er was also irritable, and when she saw that she couldn't reach it, she was so anxious that she blushed and screamed "ahhhh

Yuehua was stunned, without saying a word, thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Mo Guhan asked strangely.

Yuehua raised her hand and interrupted him, with a solemn face and listened attentively.

Chu Mubai and Mo Guhan couldn't help but look at each other.

Yuehua suddenly turned her face and asked Chu Mubai solemnly: "Is this tune the one you once played in the maple forest?" ”

Chu Mubai nodded embarrassedly: "Anyway, I will play this border tune, the tune is simple, I didn't expect Zijin to learn it after listening to it twice." ”

"You once said that this is Xiliang's border minor?"

Chu Mubai nodded: "The herdsmen near the border pass will all play this song. ”

"Xiliang ......," Yuehua muttered to herself.

"What's wrong?"

Mo Guhan and Chu Mubai asked in unison.

"It occurred to me that I had heard this tune somewhere, it was Wynne, who had inadvertently played it with leaves in front of me!"

Wynne? Xiliang?

Mo Guhan still couldn't connect the two words together.

"How can Wynne know the border tune of Xiliang?"

Yuehua shook her head slowly: "She said that she has been displaced since she was a child, and it may not be necessary to go to the border." ”

Chu Mubai has been marching and fighting all year round, and he naturally knows the northwest well. said casually: "My Chang'an Shaanxi area borders Xiliang, didn't you also suspect that she was from Shaanxi last time?" It's normal for her to know these border tunes. ”

Yuehua nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's because I think too much every day, so some plants and trees are all soldiers, and listening to the wind is rain." ”

Mo Guhan poured her a cup of tea very considerately: "I also remember that you seem to have mentioned it, suspecting that Lan Jieyu's ancestral home is in the area of Huangyang?" ”

Yuehua nodded: "It's just a guess from the customs and habits she occasionally mentioned, and it may not be her ancestral home." ”

"It just so happens that the Ding family in Huangyang has sent someone over, wanting to transport the bones of Lord Ding back to Huangyang for burial, include them in the ancestral shrine, and accept the incense offerings of the Ding family. You can give them Lan Jieyu's portrait and inquire after you go back, what if there are any clues? ”

Yuehua shook her head: "The eighteenth change of the female university, Lan Jieyu has been in the palace for so long, unless she is a close relative, who can recognize her appearance?" What's more, a Yanyang is so big, where is there such a coincidence? Again, as the saying goes, 'move your mouth from above, and break your leg from below', they do it as a holy decree, and even if there is no news, they will make it up to deal with errands, and even more disrupt our direction. ”

Mo Guhan said softly: "That's true, this search for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, where is it so simple?" But more words are one more hope. ”

Yuehua no longer insisted, and raised her eyes to look at Zijin: "My brother asked her to come over to eat with us, and what she discussed was the marriage of the two of you, and she is a child of the rivers and lakes, when did she learn to twist and pinch like this?" ”

Chu Mubai shook his head: "She likes the little prince and the little princess, let her be lively there, besides, she can't eat and drink." ”

"Why?" Yuehua asked casually, "I remember that she drank very well. ”

Chu Mubai smiled helplessly: "She suddenly fell in love with those flowers and plants some time ago, and went to stay in the flower room for a day, but she didn't know how to accept it, and she had red bumps all over her body. It's okay not to drink, but as soon as you drink, it's terrible, and those red bumps will pop up immediately, and you can't see people. ”

Yuehua also shook her head helplessly, knowing that Zijin was hot for three quarters of an hour, and she was fascinated by what she liked, so she did it, but she stopped after a while, and she couldn't be interested anymore.

"The imperial physician in the palace has a lot of knowledge, and there may be this kind of prescription that can be remedied. When I first entered the palace, I was not affected by nettles, and I also suffered from such symptoms, and I insisted on drinking two pairs of decoctions, and now I am fine. ”

Chu Mubai shook his head: "Usually, as long as you don't drink, you can't see it at all." ”

Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it just like that invisible tattoo?" ”

"What invisible tattoo?" Mo Guhan listened to the freshness, turned his head and asked.

Yuehua winked at him maliciously: "Is it possible that the emperor doesn't know?" ”

"What, I should know?" Mo Guhan immediately asked rhetorically.

Yuehua smiled "grin": "After I left the palace, didn't Chang Lingyan show the emperor her auspicious fortune from the sky?" ”

Mo Guhan was inexplicable, stunned for a long time, and then remembered what this "auspicious rain from the sky" meant.

"You said it was the fire phoenix on Chang Lingyan's chest at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet last year?"

Yuehua nodded solemnly: "That's right, it amazed the audience at the beginning, and the officials said in unison, saying that it was auspicious from the sky." Why wasn't the emperor curious, and didn't ask Chang Lingyan about the mystery again? ”

Mo Guhan had already heard a vague hint of ridicule from Yuehua's mouth: "I never believed in these fictitious things, and naturally I didn't take them to heart. What is the mystery, don't continue to sell off. ”

Yuehua barely held back a laugh: "I heard Lan Jieyu say that the fire phoenix on Chang Lingyan's chest is actually an invisible tattoo, made of a kind of pigeon blood with red eyes and white feathers, which is usually not seen at all, only after drinking, or after strenuous exercise, it will appear, and when the person calms down, the tattoo will be gone." ”

Strenuous exercise?

Mo Guhan finally understood the meaning of Yuehua's words, and glared at her viciously, with a threatening meaning of "wait and see".

Yuehua took advantage of Chu Mubai's stuffy head to pour wine, didn't pay attention, and quietly stuck out her tongue at Mo Guhan.

"No wonder Chang Lingyan rarely ate wine at the palace banquet later, even if he ate, it was only two or three lamps, it turned out that he was afraid that the matter would be exposed. Her tattoo was in such a conspicuous position, if she was excited, would it be immediately revealed? ”

Yuehua's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the hot tea spilled on the back of her hand, and she didn't even know it. She stood up suddenly, startling Chu Mubai and Mo Guhan.

"What's wrong, surprised?"

Yuehua's face was full of excitement: "I finally know what's going on!" ”

"What's going on?" Mo Guhan was confused.

"The birthmark! What's the matter with the crimson birthmark on the assassin's hand! ”

Mo Guhan also reacted suddenly, and his eyes suddenly tightened: "Is it an invisible tattoo?" ”

Yuehua nodded excitedly: "We have found this invisible tattoo a total of twice. The first time was when the eunuch Qian Jin was threatened by the female assassin and slapped her in the shoulder, saying that the female assassin had a birthmark in the palm of her palm. The second time, it was she who assassinated Father-in-law Lin, and her brother fought with her, and he also found that she had a vermilion birthmark in her palm.

Both times, it was the man who forced the internal force to the palm of his hand, so the pattern appeared. In other words, when he is ordinary, the palm of that person's palm is no different from that of an ordinary person, and there is no flaw at all. Therefore, in the later inspection, we found nothing. Moreover, because the birthmark is in the palm of the hand, even if it is usually due to overexcitement, or drinking, etc., it is revealed, and only the palm of the hand is clenched, or the palm of the hand is downward, no one will find out the secret. ”

"If this is the case, many of our previous judgments can be overturned, and many impossible people will be possible."

Yuehua clenched her fists tightly and categorically: "It should be her!" ”

"Who?" Mo Guhan and Chu Mubai asked in unison.

"Lan Wynne!"

"Even if Lan Jieyu really knows kung fu, she may not be the one who can be angry."

Yuehua smiled: "The last time Gonggong Lin was assassinated, I immediately rushed to the Guan Jiu Palace, Huai En has always been secretive, shirking in every possible way, and refusing to let me check her palm. Later, under the pretext that her palms were sweaty, she ran to the ice basin to wash her hands, and after cooling down, she calmly stretched out her hand to me. She knows the secret of this invisible tattoo, so there is no doubt that it is her. ”
