49. The night of the mourning hall
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty followed the ancient rites in funerals, putting "rice and rice" in the mouths of the deceased, in order to pray that the deceased would still be able to have no worries about food and clothing after entering another world. It's just that a nobleman like the crown prince Li Hong has no ordinary grain and rice, but a precious pearl and jade.
"You'an......" Hui An wiped a handful of tears, "The messenger said that if you want to give me the changed rice, someone will come to me to pick it up." ”
"I see." You'an deliberately said it lightly, this "Lang Jun" is really scheming, let her hand things back to her sister, just to warn her not to play tricks, she originally wanted to use the replaced rice to talk to this "Lang Jun" about a condition, but now there is no need to think about it, Hui An really does not have the courage to make a desperate bet.
Seeing that she was leaving, Hui An took her hand again: "You'an, I just came, we talked so much, will it ...... What's the trouble for you? ”
You'an was almost laughed at by her, and after she finished speaking, she thought of this layer, isn't it too late? But it's not good to talk about her seriously, for fear that she will be cranky, so she can only comfort softly: "It's okay, those people may have already checked our origins, we are sisters, we can't hide it, I haven't seen her for so long, and it is not illegal to say a few more words." ”
As soon as the words came out, Liu Nushi's ghostly voice sounded at the door: "The palace maids who have been distributed this year are not simple, when it is time to eat, neither of them will feel hungry, in this case, you two will clean the incense ashes on the spirit case." The burned incense ash was still hot, and there were no tools to hold it and throw it out, and tears rolled up in Hui'an's eyes.
You'an sighed helplessly, she and Liu Nushi had already torn their faces anyway, and they should have gone back on the spot at this moment, but Hui'an was still here, so she had to have some scruples.
Seeing that she was silent, Liu Nushi felt bored, and watched at the door for a while, and saw that she really didn't play any tricks, so she left.
You'an sent Hui'an to find a quiet place to rest, and he took the opportunity to clean up the incense case, swept around the courtyard of the East Palace, and pulled out a few inconspicuous blades of grass from the brick cracks in the corners. The sinners in the court are not qualified to ask for a doctor, and sometimes when they eat bad things, they use this grass leaf to boil water and drink, this grass leaf is good for everything, but if you eat a little, you will have diarrhea, so as to get rid of the symptoms, so the palace people call it Epsom leaf.
She took the Epsom leaves into her arms, calculated which palace maid would be on duty in front of the spirit tonight, and when it was time for dinner, she mixed the water from the Epsom leaves into her vegetable soup.
The medicinal effect of the epsom leaf does not diverge quickly, but once it starts, the medicinal power is very strong. In the middle of the night, You'an got up quietly, and after waiting for a long time, she saw the little palace maid on duty holding her stomach and running out in a hurry.
You'an followed behind her, and watched her enter a convenient place for the palace maid, and stuck the door with a dead branch outside the door, and then turned around and went back to the mourning hall.
The flickering lights illuminated the entire mourning hall as if it were daylight. One left and one right, two everlasting lamps that have passed through the blessings of the monks, will not be extinguished all night.
Although You'an Pingsu is bold, he still lacks confidence when he thinks of doing it to a dead person. She clasped her hands together and pleaded silently at Li Hong's body: If you want to blame that Shirojun, I was also forced to be helpless.
After the silent recitation, she closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to Li Hong's mouth. The human body is also like a huge but delicate mechanism, the jaw bone is an exquisite mechanism, and the fingers pinch the joints of the bones, and the mouth opens involuntarily, which is suitable for both the living and the dead.
You'an put the jade he brought in, replaced the piece that Li Hong originally held in his mouth, and spread it out on the palm of his hand, it was a round jade that was green and transparent, looking like a small quail egg. The jade also had some dark red patterns on it, and it looked more like quail eggs.
Dark red pattern...... You'an lifted the piece of rice and looked at it in the light. One of A-Niang's previous specialties was to appreciate all kinds of treasures, and this texture is very common in jade materials in some years, and she will never be mistaken. It was left by human blood soaked in jade.
According to the palace theory, the crown prince Li Hong became weak and became ill, and he ran into the Hebi Palace and walked in the water, and he died of typhoid fever due to hard work and fear. But where does typhoid fever vomit blood? Looking at the appearance of Hanhan, it looks more like he died of poison.
There is a reason why Yuan followed Shiro-kun's words so happily, that is, he wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the prince's rice. But when she really discovered this big secret, she didn't know what to do for a while. Even if she wants to keep this secret in her stomach forever, she may not be able to do so, at least Shiro-kun herself must know something. But if she told the secret, she didn't know who to tell it.
Yuguang caught a glimpse of the figure flickering, and You'an flexibly dodged and hid inside the incense case, just avoiding the outstretched hand.
Li Dan couldn't snatch the things in her hand, but he wasn't annoyed, so he looked at her through the incense case.
You'an naturally knew that he was able to avoid this, not because he was quicker than him, but because Li Dan was unwilling to seriously collide with his brother's incense case, so that he couldn't live in peace. She smiled at the corner of her eyes and pun on her: "Your Highness is really sincere, and you have to come to worship in person in the middle of the night." ”
The corners of Li Dan's lips stretched, but his eyes became more and more fierce: "Who said that Lone must have come to worship, and Lone can't be a tryst?" ”
Since the time of the Douhua Club, You'an "admitted" his favorite eighth prince in public, and every time he looked at him, Li Dan always had to make fun of him. She deliberately didn't understand the meaning of the words, and bent down to leave: "Your Highness is really interested, and you can be full of interest in this kind of place, since Your Highness has an appointment with someone, the servant will make room for you." ”
Before she could take a step, her wrist was already being held, Li Dan pinched her elbow, and You'an immediately felt unbearable soreness, and involuntarily let go of her hand. But that hand was empty, and there was nothing.
Li Dan spoke in her ear, and his voice couldn't tell whether it was a threat or a temptation: "Take it out!" ”
You'an suddenly felt a little proud in his heart, it was just a little trick, and it was worth it to make the person in front of him rush once. She has always felt that she is also a good person, but she doesn't know what's going on, in front of this eighth prince, she only feels that the evil thoughts of her past few lifetimes have been hooked out, and she can't help but get angry when she thinks of his superiority, laziness and arrogance since the first meeting.
