Chapter 142: Muddy
Although Mei Duo is only fifteen years old, she is a very thoughtful girl.
Although the copper coin in her hand was as cold as a snake, she wanted to throw it away and scream, but on the surface, she still held on, raised her head and showed a resolute expression, "Zanmon, does this mean to force me to lie?" ”
Li Yuntong originally thought that Mei Duo was blocking the bowl of soup for herself at that time, so she naturally fell to her own side, but now seeing her so calm, she thought that she was really wrong: Could it be that Mei Duo's behavior at that time was just to curry favor?
But since Li Yuntong had made up her mind to test Mei Duo, she naturally did not allow her to escape, she stretched out her hand and pointed to Lan Duo who was standing in the distance, and said in a low voice: "See?" The string of Buddhist beads in your sister's hand is because she told the truth, and the palace rewarded her, and if you say it, the palace will also reward you with good things. ”
Mei Duo looked at the string of blue Buddha beads on Lan Duo's wrist from a distance, and a trace of doubt appeared in her expression, but after a while, she said slyly: "Zangmeng said that he would give the reward to his courtiers before, but he hasn't given it yet." ”
Li Yuntong glanced at her deeply, and had a new view of the girl in front of him who was three years younger than herself.
She stretched out her hand.
Dong Qing picked up a small box and opened it in front of Mei Duo.
"The jewelry in this is all brought by the palace today, you can choose two at will, the same is counted as your thank you for blocking the bowl of soup for the palace, and the same reward for telling the truth. You are a smart person, you should know how to choose when the ship under your feet is about to sink. ”
Li Yuntong looked at Mei Duo and said lightly: "Shake those three copper coins six times and throw them on the table, or tell the truth, you have to choose one of the two." Even if your Paga family is fully prepared, if this palace wants your life here, or the two of you, I believe they will not be reluctant. ”
Mei Duo didn't speak, she looked up at the box of jewelry, brilliant and magnificent, each of which was the splendor she had ever dreamed of.
Princess Datang's jewelry, any matter what, is enough for her to show off for a lifetime.
She swallowed and looked around.
Obviously, it is the big tent that her family is preparing to rest for distinguished guests, and it is not unseen before, but now it looks a little different.
Curtains and crystal curtains shook gently, and incense burners were placed on the carpets, with pillows made of gold silk and ink.
There is a bit more of daily casualness in the extravagance.
A few days ago, the cigarette curled up, and Li Yuntong took a cup of tea and sipped it there.
In their home, this princess Wencheng had a relaxed demeanor, sitting lazily, and did not seem to be afraid of any danger at all.
But the meaning of her words seemed to be aware of something.
"Zanmeng, if the courtiers tell you the truth...... "After figuring it out, what euphemisms, hints or something, Mei Duo didn't need to do it, and went straight to it.
She reached out and picked up a peony in the box, and her eyes showed greed and envy, "If you want this thing, are you willing to give it?" ”
Dongqing snorted, "That branch is a gift from the Son of Heaven, it is worth more than a thousand gold, you dare to-"
Li Yuntong made a gesture to stop Dong Qing, didn't look at the golden step, and said to Mei Duo with a smile: "Of course, this palace is a promise." ”
“…… Before, I heard my eldest sister instruct someone to add one thing to the several soups that are going to be served today...... I don't know what it is, but she doesn't know how to cook, so where does she need to keep an eye on it? The courtier pondered, but she was afraid that those things would have another use, because she was afraid that what she did would lead to death, so she stopped it. ”
Mei Duo answered neatly, but it was quite different from what Li Yuntong thought.
According to Mei Duo's statement, even if there is a problem with the soup, it is just Lan Duo's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Paga's Da Ziba.
Even if they really did something behind them, they couldn't explain it.
After thinking about it, Li Yuntong beckoned Lan Duo over, asked Ram to learn what Mei Duo said before the election, looked at Lan Duo and asked coldly, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Lan Duo saluted Li Yuntong, "Venerable Zanmeng, the courtiers don't know what the second sister is talking nonsense for, but what she said is purely out of nowhere, and I hope that Zanmeng will check it." ”
She looked at Mei Duo with a surprised expression, "Second sister, what evil have you fallen into, and you want to frame me like this?" I don't know what's in that soup, or I wouldn't have given it to Zanmon. Besides, what's in it for me to hurt Zanmon? Am I so disgusted that I have gone to assassinate Zanmon? ”
"Hehe, your father-in-law says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, who should I believe?" Li Yuntong smiled lightly, his eyes scanning back and forth between Lan Duo and Mei Duo.
At the beginning, Lan Duo and Mei Duo straightened their backs and looked at Li Yuntong to show their innocence, and then slowly lowered their heads, but the posture was not weak, but as if they were afraid of the coercion of her identity.
Only Ram was confused, looking at this, looking at that, completely unaware of what was going on.
Seeing the beautiful Ram's ignorant face, Li Yuntong was in a much better mood, she beckoned, waited for Ram to come over, motioned for her to sit beside her, stroked her long hair, and asked affectionately like a sister who was waiting for her, "Do you want to know if the previous incident was related to them?" ”
Ram nodded, thought for a moment and asked timidly, "Will they speak?" ”
"Needless to say, these three copper coins will tell us...... In this way, every time you throw three copper coins, you will get a line, and if you roll it six times, you will get a lineup, and you will form a hexagram, which can be used to divinate what you think and ask. Li Yuntong taught Ram to learn from himself, thinking about something, and shaking the copper coin six times.
Ram curiously followed her example and began to hexagram.
Mei Duo and Lan Duo were a little nervous, and they felt that Li Yuntong was pretending to be a ghost, and they watched as Ram threw the three copper coins and put their palms together on several cases...... The heart also goes up and down, fluctuating.
Silently calculating the hexagram that Ram shook out, Li Yuntong's expression became colder and colder.
"Zanmon, what's wrong?" Ram asked eagerly.
"You can speak Tang dialect, one of your parents was originally from my Tang Dynasty, and from the hexagram, it was your mother?" Li Yuntong asked Ram rhetorically in Chinese.
Ram nodded again and again, and said happily: "Even this can be seen from the hexagram? ”
Li Yuntong asked Ram, just to confirm the truth of his own test, and after hearing her answer, he sighed lightly, "It's a pity, the husband is not guilty, you and your mother are both because of their beauty, which has caused an unwarranted disaster!" ”
Ram looked at Li Yuntong in surprise and asked eagerly, "What did Zanmeng calculate?" I've always thought something strange about my parents, but I can't find any evidence, so if you see something, I'd like to tell you. ”
Li Yuntong said softly: "Judging from the hexagram, your parents did not die normally, but were framed by others, and it was the people they trusted who harmed them...... The same is true for you, including yourself. ”
Her expression was full of sympathy, "Obviously, you are as kind and sincere as your parents, but you have no defense, how can you escape when you encounter a jackal with such a character?" If you weren't smart enough to come to this palace for help, I'm afraid you'd have been poisoned......"
Ram thought of what happened before, and after a while, she looked at Li Yuntong pitifully, bit her lip and said: "What does Zanmeng mean, the people who hurt my parents and me are the people we trust the most?" ”
Li Yuntong nodded lightly, "This hexagram is stacked on top of each other." Five yin is below, one yang is above, which means that yin is prosperous and yang is lonely, the high mountains are attached to the ground to say that the villain is powerful, and the gentleman is stuck, like passing through thin ice, and one wrong step will fall into the water. It can also be interpreted as a woman who harmed you......"
Ram thought of what Meadow said before, the reason why she was like that was because of the wine handed by Dawa, and couldn't help but say: "That's right, it's indeed a woman, but she's not someone I trust, I believe her because of Sister Meadow......"
She thought of something, her apricot eyes looked at Mei Duo, and pounced on Mei Duo angrily, "You lied to me? It's clear that you hooked your pig-headed cousin to harm me......"
Mei Duo listened to the two of them muttering for a long time, but she didn't hear a name, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Ram rushing towards herself and scolding herself, a little flustered and a little inexplicably protecting her head and face, "Ram, what are you doing?" What do you mean by hooking my cousin to hurt you? Didn't I explain it to you before? ”
"Yes, it turns out that you were the one who killed her, and that makes sense. The Ram family has a lot of trust in your Paga family, but you have betrayed their trust, and you have a heart to hurt others...... If this is to be proclaimed, who will dare to make friends with your Paga family? Do you still want to deceive Hongu? Dongqing, take the two of them together. The more Li Yuntong spoke, the colder his voice became.
Listening to Li Yuntong's fluent Tubo language, Lan Duo panicked for a while, and argued while struggling: "Zanmeng Mo wants to listen to Ram's one-sided words and wronged good people. ”
"Do you think that it was Ram who complained to the palace, and the palace would be angry with you?" Li Yuntong smiled and said, "Do you know that this palace is not only the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but also a scholar who can divinate life and death and peek into privacy?" ”
Seeing the disbelief in Lan Duo and Mei Duo's expressions, Li Yuntong said lightly: "Don't believe it? Come, just say a word and ask something, and this palace will help you test it for free. ”
Mei Duo dodged Ram's pounce and said loudly: "Ram, stop it, I don't believe she can see anything with a few copper coins, she is clearly dividing our feelings, although I don't know what she is for, but there must be a conspiracy, Xing, Xing ......"
"She may be afraid that we will help Momeng, yes, it must be so, our Paga family has always respected the princess of Nipoluo......" Lan Duo added next to him, "Princess Wencheng, you can't bully others, if you let Zampu know, he will never be happy." ”
Hearing the information that Lan Duo inadvertently revealed, Li Yuntong was like a cat looking at a mouse, "Oh, it turns out that you are here to vent your anger for the end of the day?" It's a pity that Hongu doesn't believe a word. Don't think that you can muddy this pool with nonsense, you must know that the words you just said have already told everything about this palace. ”
"Huh?" Lando and Medo asked in unison, "What did I say?" ”
