Chapter 042: The message left by the Ling Clan elder eleven years ago
Jing Mofeng looked back and looked at Ling Qingrui with clear and smiling eyes.
"Since Your Highness is familiar with medicinal herbs, you must not be bad in terms of medicinal pharmacology, and you should know that some things will grow together and change."
Ling Qingrui said meaningfully, her gaze fell on Jing Mofeng, she didn't know if Jing Mofeng was wearing a sachet or some other item, but when foreground Mo Feng approached her, she had smelled a faint, vague fragrance.
If Ling Qingrui is not wrong, this fragrance should be produced by the mixture of three kinds of flowers, white pill flower, mountain peach blossom and Buddha Jianxiao, a small amount of it can calm the nerves, but if it is used for a long time, it will make people's body gradually weak, and finally the whole body is so weak that they can't even pick up a brush.
I saw that Jing Mofeng listened to Ling Qingrui's words, his smiling eyes condensed slightly, and slowly lowered so that people couldn't see the expression clearly, and then there was a silence.
Just when Ling Qingrui thought that he wouldn't speak, he slowly took out a small jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it over, and said in a clear and beautiful voice, "Maybe Miss Rui is talking about it." ”
On her slender and white fingers, she held a jade pendant that was almost emerald green, which made that finger can't help but be dyed with a faint green, Ling Qingrui was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect it to be a jade pendant, she reached out and took it and sniffed it gently, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance, thinking that this jade pendant should have been soaked in the liquid made of the three flowers for a long time, but because it was worn for a long time, the fragrance would be light and light.
Looking at Jing Mofeng's indifferent smile, Ling Qingrui frowned slightly, she was not sure for a moment whether he knew the consequences of this aroma.
Jing Mofeng suddenly smiled: "Thank you Miss Rui for reminding me, Mofeng knows it, but there are some things that are inconvenient to inform Miss Rui, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Ling Qingrui was originally out of the sensitivity of a doctor, and she had also heard Chu Xue mention that the fifth prince had always cared about the people, so she said a little more, and did not explore the other party's secrets, listening to him say that he knew it in his heart, he should have taken precautions in advance, and nodded immediately, Ling Qingrui returned the jade pendant to Jing Mofeng.
The fingers inadvertently touched his palm, and the slightly cool touch made Ling Qingrui shrink her fingers slightly, watching Jing Mofeng leave, Ling Qingrui's eyes narrowed slightly, she felt that this fifth prince did not seem to be as mediocre as rumored.
"Miss." Chu Xue came out of nowhere and said, "Miss asked the slave maid to check on the dumb uncle's affairs, and the slave maid has some eyebrows." ”
"Tell me about it."
"When the slave followed the dumb uncle, the dumb uncle didn't seem to have anything suspicious. There are several hideous scars on the dumb uncle's face, which cover up his original appearance, and it looks scary, and the dumb uncle lives alone and grows vegetables, so no one knows what his original identity is, where he comes from, what his name is, the slave maid took a lot of effort to find out that the dumb uncle appeared about ten years ago, during this ten years, in addition to regularly delivering vegetables to Liufu, someone accidentally saw that the dumb uncle had appeared in the beggar pile, but the slave maid has not yet inquired about what the dumb uncle is going to do when he contacts the beggars, Or is it just a coincidence? ”
Ling Qingrui frowned slightly, since the last time she used the Blue Butterfly Love Flower to track the man who entered Bixia Pavilion at night and traced it to the dumb uncle, she told Chu Xue to find a way to check this dumb uncle, and it took so long to find out such a little situation, which made Ling Qingrui deeply feel that the manpower around her was really insufficient, but she couldn't believe the others, so naturally she couldn't use it.
After slightly brushing over what Chu Xue said, Ling Qingrui's heart moved slightly, ten years ago, why did many things seem to start ten years ago?
Ten years ago, she was adopted by the Ling family.
Ten years ago, Liu Wenzhe, who had always cared for the Ling family, suddenly changed his attitude.
Ten years ago, Uncle Dumb came to Yunzhou.
There is another thing that seems to have nothing to do with her, which also happened ten years ago, that is, the Ling brother's family suffered an accident, as if it was also ten years ago.
What's the connection?
Ling Qingrui felt as if she was in a huge fog!
Ling Qingrui subconsciously took out the lancet and turned it, the cold light flickered between her fingers, gradually forming a circle of light.
Suddenly, the circle of light stopped and disappeared in an instant, and Ling Qingrui opened her mouth and commanded, "Chu Xue, how sure are you that you can win against Xiaohua?" ”
Chu Xue's eyes widened slightly, and said, "If you fight with your life, the slave has a sixty percent chance of winning." ”
Ling Qingrui was slightly silent, she didn't want Chu Xue to die, after thinking for a while, Ling Qingrui got up and said, "Chu Xue, you stay in Bixia Pavilion, don't let people notice that I'm not there." ”
Chu Xue looked at the already dark sky outside, and asked worriedly, "Miss, where are you going?" Slave maid accompany Miss. ”
"No, you don't."
Chu Xue felt that when Ling Qingrui said these two, her eyes swept over her with a slight coldness, and she suddenly remembered that the young lady hated repeating her orders, and immediately responded yes.
Under the cover of night, Ling Qingrui quietly came to Qiutong Courtyard, the former residence of the Ling family.
A vague figure was reflected on the window of Ling's bedroom, which immediately attracted Ling Qingrui's attention, and she immediately stopped and hid behind a tree.
Through the dense branches, Ling Qingrui looked there, because there were no candles in the room, and the figure only cast a shadow under the moonlight, which was very blurry.
The vague figure stood there motionless, like a stone sculpture.
Ling Qingrui, who was hidden behind the tree, suddenly frowned, that figure seemed to be a little familiar, but with such a vague figure alone, she couldn't remember who this person was.
Suddenly, another figure appeared next to the figure, as if the previous figure said something in his ear, and the two figures gradually disappeared.
When the two figures disappeared completely, Ling Qingrui stood up from behind the tree and looked in the direction of Liu Wenzhe's study with deep eyes.
Because, when the latter figure appeared, Ling Qingrui suddenly remembered who the previous figure that seemed to be a sculpture was it, it was Liu Wenzhe!
How did he appear in Akiki-in? Before the Ling family died, Liu Wenzhe had rarely set foot in Qiutong Courtyard, and since Ling Qingrui sent Mama Wei away, Liu Wenzhe ordered this courtyard to be sealed, at this moment, what kind of deep meaning does Liu Wenzhe appear here!
Don't......
Ling Qingrui suddenly remembered that Aunt Shen obeyed Liu Wenzhe's words after Xiaohua was hit by the ecstasy incense, could it be that Liu Wenzhe also came to the Ling family's former residence to find the ancestral things of the Ling family?
A thousand doubts surrounded Ling Qingrui, Ling Qingrui took a deep breath, walked over, gently pushed open the door and walked into Ling's room.
Lighting a candle, Ling Qingrui looked inside, everything seemed to have not changed, as if the Ling family was still alive, but this situation also made Ling Qingrui's brows furrow fiercely.
After sending Mama Wei away, Ling Qingrui had secretly come to clean up this room, and the items were placed according to her habits rather than Ling's, and now they were all back in place, although they were all subtleties, but Ling Qingrui knew that they had indeed been moved.
At the same time, Ling Qingrui also understood that this must not have been done by Aunt Shen and Xiaohua, even if they had come here to check before, they would definitely not remember Ling's habits so clearly.
Fingers silently swiped over the bronze mirror, across the comb grate that Ling had used, and across Ling's dressing box, the rouge box next to the dressing box was moved, and the small lid was crooked to the side.
Ling Qingrui reached out and picked up the lid, ready to close it but suddenly stopped.
The rouge seemed to be mixed with something else, Ling Qingrui carefully identified it, only to find that it was the smell of ink shadow grass.
Ink Shadow Grass is also a medicinal herb, which can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, relax tendons and activate the nerves, but how can Ink Shadow Grass appear in rouge?
There seemed to be a lot of doubts tonight, which made Ling Qingrui can't help but be a little irritable, took a deep breath, Ling Qingrui stabilized her mind, and took the box of rouge in her hand to check it repeatedly.
With a move in her heart, Ling Qingrui took out a lancet, scraped off the thin layer of rouge, knocked it gently, and sure enough, she heard a little hollow sound.
Pried open the bottom layer, revealing some slender ink shadow grass with pine needles, and a note pressed underneath, the note seemed to be some years old, and some dark yellow.
Ling Qingrui carefully shook the ink shadow grass aside, took out the note, and slowly unfolded it, with a line of unfamiliar handwriting written on it.
"Little sister: If one day my brother really encounters an accident, my little sister must cherish it and live well.
Looking at the handwriting on it, Ling Qingrui's heart was inexplicably shocked, she reached out to cover her heart, feeling it beating rapidly, and she couldn't take her eyes off it at all.
There was a strange feeling lingering in Ling Qingrui's heart, as if she should know these unfamiliar handwritings, but how could this be!
Qing Cang is the name of the Ling brother, even the original Rui'er should not have seen him, how can he know his handwriting.
Didn't Chu Xue say that because of the Ling family's concubine, the Ling family had already cut off contact with his brother's family? Thinking of this, Ling Qingrui carefully identified the handwriting on the note, and found the time left by Ling Qingcang from there, which was eleven years ago.
Eleven years ago......
Ling Qingrui frowned slightly and pondered.
When Ling Qingrui finally took her eyes off the note, she found that there was a half-moon-shaped groove in the rouge box.
Her fingers trembled slightly, Ling Qingrui took off the half-moon pendant hanging from her neck, gently put it in, and closed it tightly!
It seems that this pendant was left to her by Ling Qingcang, the elder brother of the Ling family, could it really be the ancestral heirloom of the Ling family?
Also, the words left by Ling Qingcang seem to indicate that Ling Qingcang knew that they would encounter accidents, so the rumors that Ling Qingcang's family died in an accident may have something else!
Just when Ling Qingrui was full of doubts in her heart, an extremely slight footstep suddenly came from outside the door!
