Chapter Ninety-Three: Asking Crazy Mallow
Jing Rong looked at Mu Xuefu with a smile, until she looked uncomfortable, and then said meaningfully: "Hua Meier is not in a hurry. ”
Mu Xuefu raised her eyelids and glanced at him, turned her head sideways to look at the misty green smoke emitted from the incense burner, and the dewy bead curtain on her forehead swayed slightly with her movements, flickering in the sunshine, which made her delicate and charming.
The shadow of the sun was long and narrow, pouring down on the ground, and although no one spoke, it seemed to be extraordinarily quiet and condensed. The lazy aroma lingers like a fine mist coming out of the clouds, and the air is filled with the smell of immortals.
After a while, Mu Xuefu turned her head, looked at Jing Rong seriously, and asked, "Hua Mei'er put it aside first, what happened to the madman who burned down the ancestral hall and the corpse?" ”
Jing Rong's expression was like an instant freeze, and even the gaze that looked at Mu Xuefu was cold.
Looking at his appearance, Mu Xuefu shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, I'm just curious." ”
The corners of Jing Rong's eyes twitched, and his eyes dimmed instantly, like scattered stars in the sky, scattered without focus, he opened his lips, and his lips seemed to have been stained for too long, and he was a little reluctant to separate, and after a while, as if he had mustered up courage, he said: "That crazy woman is a maid who served my mother's concubine, called Mallow, and later she betrayed my mother's concubine and climbed into my father's bed." It's just that then she suddenly went crazy one day for some reason, so she was placed in the backyard. As for the corpse, it was my nurse. ”
Mu Xuefu looked at him with wide eyes, her face full of doubts, looking at Jing Rong hanging her head weakly, and there seemed to be a struggle on her face. She slowly walked in and sat beside him, taking his hand, "I heard that the body is still very intact, could it be that your nurse has just passed away, but I haven't heard of this person since I entered the mansion, has she been living in the ancestral hall?" ”
As soon as the temperature on her hand was warm, Jing Rong held her hand, with a bitter smile on her lips, and said slowly: "The nurse is the closest person I am to besides my mother, if she is alive, how can I not honor her?" Slowly, the smile changed, he smiled so fiercely, and his sharp gaze was about to devour people, "The nurse died a long time ago, more than ten years ago." Her body did not decay, because she was poured mercury little by little from the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and she was tortured to death. His gaze grew redder and redder, like the red glow of the sky as the sun set, "Xuefu, can you imagine what it feels like to be cut a hole in the top of your head?" She didn't know how much sin she had to suffer to be freed from her pain. ”
Mu Xuefu was really stunned, is there a more murderous killer in this world than her and her senior sister? Besides, it's just to deal with a nurse, can you use such cruel means?
Seeing her stunned appearance, Jing Rong thought she was frightened, her eyes softened, and she comforted: "Don't be afraid." ”
Mu Xuefu pursed her lips secretly, she was not afraid, when it came to torturing people, who could compare to her. However, this mercury injection method sounds good, so you can try it next time. But isn't this insidious murderous method a bit overkill when applied to a nurse?
"The nurse who nursed the prince should have a high status in this mansion, who would dare to attack her?"
Jing Rong sneered, his face full of ridicule, and said slowly: "Not long after the death of the mother, my father married the woman in the West Courtyard. One day not long after, the nurse disappeared for no reason, and along with her was the mother's large box of gold and silver jewelry. Everyone said that the nurse had escaped with her, and now it seems that the nurse had already been killed. ”
Mu Xuefu only felt puzzled, and her dark eyes rolled back and forth. Originally, she just wanted to find a place to live, but she didn't expect the back house of King Chen's Mansion to be so restless, she had no time to take care of herself, and she also had to take care of the back house of King Chen's Mansion, it seemed that her plan was going to be carried out slowly.
Like a fan of eyelashes like mushrooms after a rain, spread out little by little. Mu Xuefu's eyes seemed to have a spar spar stried, the waves were shining, she raised the corners of her mouth, chuckled, and slyly slanted at the scene, "Lord Wang, why did you say that crazy woman suddenly burned down the ancestral hall, and how did you know that the body of the nurse was hidden in the ancestral hall?" She took Jing Rong's hand and wrote "crazy" on his palm, saying: "If there is this disease, it is crazy, and if there is no side, there is also a wind left." However, this wind is suspected of being indiscriminate, and I am afraid that I am pretending to be crazy. ”
Jing Rong's eyes jumped like a candle flame, he thought slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Sometimes pretending to be crazy and stupid is not a way to survive, maybe she has something to tell this king, but because of someone, I dare not say more." ”
"The death of the nurse and the madness of the mallow must be inextricably linked, as long as you can untie a knot, you can pull out a lot of things." Mu Xuefu's eyes were calm like a pool of bottomless well water, unable to see a little ripple, leisurely and slowly, a layer of waves in her eyes, Mu Xuefu suddenly looked at Jingrong, smiled mysteriously, and said: "Didn't the prince say that Concubine Li searched Hanxiang's room?" According to Concubine Li, she was just suffering from the threat of Hanxiang, so she made a murderous move. But why did she go to search Hanxiang's room after killing someone, is it that Hanxiang has mastered her ulterior secrets, so she has the capital to threaten. Could there be any implication between the two things? ”
The flame in Jing Rong's eyes burned brighter and brighter, like layers of blooming flowers, bright and bright, he kissed Mu Xuefu fiercely, and said, "If you want to know whether there is any implication in the interrogation, it will be clear." With that, he lifted his steps and left.
Jing Rong did not return to the study after leaving, but went to a secret room in the backyard instead.
There was no light in the dark chamber, and it was eerie and cold, as if falling into a whirlpool of darkness. There were no fingers around, only a pair of hollow, white eyes that were rolling around, and those eyes were full of fear and horror. It was a woman, a woman with disheveled hair and unkempt hair, who hated to curl herself up in a ball.
With a "creak", the door of the secret room was opened, and the wind poured in suddenly, and the woman who was frozen shivered all over her body and shrank even tighter. With a few sounds, someone lit the lamps and candles in the secret room one by one, illuminating the whole room.
The woman on the ground slowly raised her head and looked at the person standing in front of her, her pupils tightened, and the fear in her eyes added another layer. In an instant, the terrifying look in his eyes slowly faded, his eyes became hollow and cloudy, and the corners of his mouth grinned.
Jing Rong looked deeply at her filthy face, and let out a heavy snort from her nose, as if sneering and mocking.
The air was breezy with a heavy rancid stench and damp musty smell, lingering and somewhat smoky.
Jing Rong's eyes were handed over, and Zhou Cheng quickly asked people to put a set of tables and chairs in the center, accompanied by a cup of tea. Jing Rong lifted his robe and sat down, his slender, clean and well-defined fingers rubbing the edge of the green jade teacup, his movements were gentle and elegant. He picked up the teacup and put it to his lips, his lips touched the tea surface, and then put it down again, with an unfathomable smile on his lips, but he said irrelevant words, "It's no wonder that the princess always says that the tea in our house is not good, and it is really not as fragrant as her tea." ”
Zhou Cheng bowed his waist, raised his eyes to look at the prince, and said: "The princess's things are naturally excellent, just like the princess, they are the best in the world, and only in this way can they be worthy of the prince, right?" ”
Jing Rong looked at him sideways, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Indeed." His eyes were faint and he looked at the woman who was still grinning and smirking, his eyes were long and deep, and the meaning was unknown, he tilted his body to make himself sit more casually, supported his forehead with his right hand, and said lightly: "Mallow, pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, you must be very tired." ”
"Hehe, hehe." The woman was stunned for a moment when her name was called, then crawled into the corner and curled herself up between her knees. Fu raised his head again, looked at Jing Rong, and smirked.
Jing Rong caught the panic flashing in her eyes, and her heart became more and more determined. The amethyst jade bracelet was lightly twisted in his left hand, and a cool sneer appeared on the curvature of his mouth, "If it's really stupid, it's not a bad thing for you." You betrayed the king's mother, have you been living in pain and regret for so many years? The cold eyes are like the east wind in the nine cold days, without a trace of temperature, which only makes people shiver. Jing Rong's fingers rubbing on the jade paused, his voice was cold, and the smile on his lips did not decrease, "Did you do something sorry for the princess, you were stupid by the concubine's soul?" ”
His voice was low, as if it had come out of hell, evil and eerie. As soon as the words fell, Mallow kowtowed like a ghost, and there were words in her mouth, "It's not me, it's not me, I don't mean to harm the princess, she forced me, she forced me." If I don't, she'll kill me. I had no choice but to poison the princess's decoction, and I really didn't mean to want the princess to die. ”
Jing Rongru broke out of the ice from the cold pool, his whole body exuded a surging cold air, and his eyes were full of fierce colors like beasts. A few steps forward, ignoring the filth on the mallow body, grabbed her by the collar, stared at her fiercely with bloodshot eyes, and shouted: "You say it again!" Who told you to poison Princess Yu's medicine! Say it! ”
The face that was as close as a stone's throw away, although handsome and incomparable, was more terrifying than the tiger in the jungle, and the devouring eyes were like Princess Yu.
Mallow met these eyes, her pupils dilated, her mouth grew up, and she wanted to shout, but it was like losing her voice, except for the sound of "ho-ho-ho", she couldn't even scream.
"Say!" Jing Rong was furious, grabbed her head with one hand and roared, "Say! Who told you to do it! Say! ”
Mallow took a deep breath, and the sound of "ahhhh After a while, this breath came to her senses, and turned into a howling cry, she held Jing Rong's hand tightly, and cried: "Princess, the slave is sorry for you, the slave is sorry for you!" ”
"Say"
