Ruoxi and Feifei followed Xiaoxi from a distance, and when they saw her enter Guangjitang, the two of them found a corner to hide, Ruoxi pulled Feifei and said, "Hey, is there anything wrong with your Xiaoxi? She seems to be in a pharmacy." ”

Feifei thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard her say anything uncomfortable, could it be that she was injured during the time she was kidnapped by Rouge?

Ruoxi suddenly interrupted Feifei: "Look, she came out, she seems to be holding something in her hand." ”

After Feifei waited for Xiaoxi to go away, he pulled Ruoxi into Guangji Hall, and when the shopkeeper saw the two girls coming in, he greeted enthusiastically: "Two girls, what kind of medicine do you want to dispense?"

Ruoxi said, "What did that girl buy just now?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "I ?.... just now, that girl, she bought some Tianshan silver silkworms." ”

Feifei asked, "What is the Tianshan Silver Silkworm and does it have any effect?"

The shopkeeper said: "This is a treasure of medicinal materials, if the girl hadn't booked and paid the money in advance a few days ago, the shop would not have made a special trip to buy for her, this flavor of medicinal materials is used by many young ladies from large families to prepare Yangrong pills, it is said that this recipe is still from the palace." ”

Ruoxi looked at Feifei suspiciously: "What does Xiaoxi want this thing for? Could it be that she also wants to maintain her beauty?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Look at what this girl said, I bought this thing to keep my face beautiful, but this Yangrong Pill is expensive, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford." ”

Feifei thanked the shopkeeper with a smile, and pulled Ruoxi to Kaifeng Mansion, all the way, he was silent, as if he was thinking about writing something.

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, Feifei walked to the flower hall, and saw that Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang were not there, so he asked Gongsun Ce to find out that the two of them had gone

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "Yes, he died by hitting the pillar." ”

Ruoxi said: "This is really strange, when Bai Yutang and I saw her, she was hit by the soft tendons of the beggar gang, and her whole body was soft, Bai Yutang was afraid that the medicine was too strong, and he specially ordered a few big holes for her to restrain her movements, we came all the way, and we didn't see anything unusual about her, by the way! Xiaoxi also knew about this, why didn't Lord Bao ask her?"

Gongsun Ce said: "I haven't seen Miss Xiaoxi for an afternoon, I don't know where she went, and the adults thought she was with you, but now it seems that she shouldn't be." ”

Feifei said: "When we were in the wine shop just now, we saw Xiaoxi go to Guangji Hall alone, and after she came out, we went in to inquire and learned that she went to prepare medicinal materials called Tianshan silver silkworm, and thought she had come back." ”

Gongsun Ceqi said: "The Tianshan Silver Silkworm Sexual Poison has always been used by some Jianghu side sects to refine the material of hidden weapon poison, what is Xiaoxi going to do?"

Ruoxi said: "The shopkeeper said that there is this medicinal herb in the formula of the Yangrong Pill that has been circulated in the palace, and many girls from rich families use this to nourish their faces. ”

Gongsun Ce said helplessly: "If you use it in small amounts, you can indeed stay in the face for a short time, but if you use it for a long time, you may hurt yourself." ”

Ruoxi Qi said: "Is it possible that Xiaoxi wants to enter the palace to be the emperor's wife?"

Feifei was in a hurry, and hurriedly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, you want to die....."

Gongsun Ce smiled, but he didn't hear it, "If Miss Xue is looking for a guard, it is better to stay here for a while, the mortuary is cold, and it is not suitable for the girl to go." ”

Feifei blushed and said, "I didn't come to him on purpose, I just stopped by to ask the two of them and wanted to understand the case." ”

"Oh, I know the facts of the case....hahaha..."Gongsun Ce smiled meaningfully, "Then it just so happens that the adult and I are also discussing the case, so it's better to be together, anyway, the exhibition guards will also come." ”

Feifei was embarrassed by Gongsun Ce's teasing, so he opened the topic and asked Bao Zheng: "My lord, now that Rouge is dead, how to solve the Gu poison on Nuo'er's body?" And Yue Qi, will his attitude change?"

Bao Zheng said helplessly: "What Yue Qi said in the lobby is reserved by the government and Mr. Gongsun, and it may even be half-true, but the question is, what is he doing this for? If it is for rouge, now that rouge is dead, this government asked him just now, why he still refuses to say anything, and who is going to take the red porcelain? These all make this government puzzled. ”

As he was talking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked in, and they were quite surprised to see Feifei and Ruoxi there, and thought that they should still be chatting in the wine shop when they met again after a long absence, but they didn't expect to meet in the flower hall.

Ruoxi Yuguang saw Xiaoxi hurrying in front of the flower hall with her head down, Ruoxi wondered why she didn't come in to say hello, and looked at her twice, suddenly, Ruoxi's eyes darkened, as if she had found something, and ran out of the flower hall quickly, calling Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi was helpless, so he had to stop but didn't look back, and said politely: "Miss Ruoxi, is there anything wrong with calling me?"

Ruoxi smiled: "It's not that I have something, but Lord Bao just asked me if the rouge has been abnormal all the way, I think, Miss Xiaoxi can be said to be inseparable from the rouge all the way, if there is an abnormality, I can't hide it from you, so .....why don't you come in and talk to the adult?"

Xiaoxi still didn't look back, but listened to the voice a little cold: "Ruoxi girl said and laughed, I was with Rouge all the way, I was really helpless, you also saw it, I was held hostage by Rouge, if I didn't listen to her, how would I have the life to live to this day? I'm afraid it's too late, how dare I pay attention to her, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the adults." "With that, we have to move on.

Ruoxi sneered: "I heard that you people from big families, let alone young ladies, even the maids are different from ordinary people, the most understanding of etiquette and proportion, what's the matter, Miss Xiaoxi doesn't even bother to talk to me now, is it because she looks down on me and thinks that I am not a young lady from a big family, can you easily slack off?"

Xiaoxi said: "Miss Ruoxi misunderstood, I was really uncomfortable, and I was in a hurry to go back to the room to rest, if Miss Ruoxi felt uncomfortable because of this, when I was well, I will serve you tea and apologize." ”

Ruoxi said "oh", "Are you not feeling well? Where is it uncomfortable, Feifei and I both know medical skills, show you, if you can't do it, there is Mr. Gongsun, no matter what disease you have, keep it for you to be cured, come on, come in and let us see." As he spoke, he stepped forward to pull Xiaoxi into the flower hall.

Xiaoxi hurriedly broke free, half-covered his face with his hand, and said coldly: "Some minor illnesses, I don't dare to work Mr. Gongsun and the two young ladies, Xiaoxi said goodbye first." As he spoke, he broke free from Ruoxi and trotted all the way.

Ruoxi still wanted to chase after her, but Feifei stopped her and complained slightly: "Ruoxi, what are you doing here, she doesn't want to come in, forget it, why are you forced?"

Ruoxi smiled, clapped her hands and said, "Feifei, you are too simple, do you think that when we saw Xiaoxi on the street just now, she looked a little uncomfortable?"

Feifei thought about it carefully and slowly shook his head.

Bao Zheng saw Ruoxi say this, thinking that she must have discovered something, so he asked: "Ruoxi girl, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ruoxi said: "My lord, this is just my speculation, I have no evidence for the time being, I think this Xiaoxi girl is very problematic, at the beginning, Bai Yutang received the news of the beggar gang and took me over together, I saw her and Rouge together, although she looked low and pleasing to the eyes, but I didn't think she was afraid of Rouge, but Rouge, with no focus in her eyes, slow demeanor, and weak speech. ”

Bai Yutang sat down on the stool and said, "Brother Yin said that she was like this because of the soft tendons of the beggar gang. ”

Ruoxi replied: "The soft tendons will only make people's mobility inconvenient, and will not affect people's thinking, words and deeds, but the way Rouge looked at that time, I felt like I was being manipulated, yes, it was manipulated, I wanted to be a marionette." ”

Bai Yutang glanced at her noncommittally, and muttered, "It's getting more and more divine...."

Zhan Zhao suddenly thought of something, and said to Ruoxi: "Ruoxi girl, do you know what kind of kung fu can control people's minds in this world?"

Ruoxi heard Zhan Zhao say this, and his eyes lit up: "Lord Zhan, don't you also think Xiaoxi is a little strange?"

Zhanzhao raised his eyebrows: "Just now, Brother Bai and I went to the mortuary to check the body of rouge, and when I came out, I accidentally bumped into Miss Xiaoxi rushing to the house with a medicine bag in her hand, and looked at her position as if she came from the prison, so I paid attention and went to the prison with Bai Yutang to inquire, but the guard said that I had not seen Miss Xiaoxi coming." ”

Ruoxi thought for a while and said: "There are many ways to control people's minds in this world, such as Miao Jiang's Gu technique, which can control people's behavior and thoughts thousands of miles away, but to use this method, you must plant Gu in the body of the person you want to control in advance, however, I look at the appearance of rouge, it doesn't look like Gu magic, but it is a bit like puppetry." ”

Feifei had heard Ruoxi talk about puppetry, but he didn't realize it: "It's the kind you said, using a unique poison to cripple people's minds, and then forcibly injecting their own will into the poisoned person's brain, so that that person can act according to his own will?"

Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, but there is a disadvantage of this method, that is, the poisoned person must be refilled every once in a while, otherwise the effect of the poison will disappear by itself, and the poisoned person will slowly recover his senses." ”

Zhan Zhao frowned: "However, when I found out Xiaoxi, Rouge was already dead, and the timing was not right." ”

Ruoxi said "um", "I didn't suspect her this, if Xiaoxi really used puppetry on Rouge, he must have calculated the time, and found a gap to feed her medicine before entering Kaifeng Mansion, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to wait for someone to go to prison and then renew the medicine, but, if the truth is really as I thought, how can this Xiaoxi, an ordinary maid, have such ability?"

Zhan Zhao said coldly: "Unless Xiaoxi is not Xiaoxi." ”

Ruoxi glanced at Zhanzhao appreciatively, and thought: "Feifei's vision is good, this Zhanzhao is really not better than ordinary people, not to mention a talent, what is rare is that he is modest, smart-minded, and understands everything at one point, and he is really a talent." ”

Bai Yutang said with a big grin: "Zhanzhao, according to your words, if Xiaoxi is not Xiaoxi, then who is she? Could it be rouge?"

As soon as Bai Yutang said this, everyone in the flower hall didn't speak, and looked at him together, Bai Yutang was a little hairy when he was seen, and muttered in a low voice: "What? Could it be that I guessed right?"

Ruoxi shook his head, walked up to Bai Yutang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "White Mouse, sometimes your brain is really good, what you said is right, I doubt it like that." ”

Bai Yutang slapped Ruoxi's hand that was still resting on his shoulder and said, "That's easy, I'll go and tear off her fake face." ”

Zhan Zhao hurriedly stopped: "Brother Bai, when we inspected Rouge's body in the mortuary just now, we didn't find that the face was disguised, so it can be seen that this matter is by no means as simple as disguise." ”

Feifei sat on the stool, held his cheeks, and analyzed a little bit: "If Ruoxi said so, it is very likely that Rouge exchanged faces with Xiaoxi early in the morning, and then gave Zhen Xiaoxi a puppet technique, so that Zhen Xiaoxi entered the prison of Kaifeng Mansion with Rouge's face, and waited for the opportunity to assassinate the adult while the adult was arraigned, and it is also possible that the assassination was originally intentional, and the real purpose was to perform a play in front of the adult, so that the adult thought that Rouge was dead." In this way, Rouge should have deliberately let the beggars find her, and deliberately let the fake Rouge take the soft tendons and be arrested, all of this is a conspiracy under the rouge cloth, the purpose is to let the real Xiaoxi fake Rouge die, and the real Rouge fake Xiaoxi live. It's just that this face-changing technique can be done with surgery, but it will take a lot of time, and it is unlikely, unless there is medicine, Ruoxi, can there be a medicine that can make people change their face?"

Feifei was fascinated by the analysis, and she didn't know how surprised everyone was at looking at her at this time, Zhanzhao quietly walked to her side, held the cup in her hand that was already empty, and poured it full of water.

Ruoxi watched the two of them move tacitly, and sighed secretly in her heart, the word love is really not enough for outsiders, looking at it, the two of them are afraid that they already have each other in their hearts.

Bao Zheng was concerned about the case, and he didn't care about Ruoxi's exclamation, after listening to Feifei's analysis, he opened his mouth, twisted his beard and said, "Then what is this rouge flower thinking about?"

Gongsun Ce said: "If it is really as Feifei girl analyzed, what happened to this rouge girl should be revealed in a few days, but now we still have to verify whether our guess is correct." ”

Ruoxi grinned: "Mr. Gongsun, this is easy to do, I just have a way to solve the method of changing the face, why don't you take me to the mortuary to see what is going on?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, glanced at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng nodded slightly, in agreement, Zhan Zhao took Ruoxi to the mortuary.

Along the way, Zhanzhao walked in front, he was afraid that Ruoxi would not be able to keep up, so he deliberately slowed down his pace, always keeping a distance from Ruoxi, Ruoxi silently followed behind, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Zhanzhao is a person, in terms of character is good, if there is no Ding Yuehua, he and Feifei must have an excellent fate, so that even if he is not by Feifei's side, he can rest assured that Zhanzhao will be able to protect her for life, but it is a pity that it is better to ....., take this opportunity to explore Zhanzhao's mind first." ”

After Ruoxi made up his mind, he quickly stepped forward and walked in parallel with Zhanzhao, "Lord Zhan, I heard that you are from Songjiang, and the Xue Mansion is also a big family in Songjiang County, have you heard of it?"

"Although Zhanzhao is a native of Songjiang County, because he left home to learn martial arts with his master since he was a child, Songjiang has not stayed for a long time. ”

"Oh..... I heard that there are Ding brothers living in Jasmine Village, not far from Songjiang County, who are strong in martial arts, and are known as Shuangxia by the people of the rivers and lakes, I don't know if Lord Zhan can recognize them?"

Zhan Zhao said with a smile: "When Zhan Zhao walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, he had dealt with the Ding brothers, and he knew him, but after following the adults, he was busy with official business, so he never met, did the girl also know the Ding brothers?"

Ruoxi grinned and said, "I've heard of it, I haven't recognized it, I heard that they also have a younger sister, who is also a woman, do you recognize it?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "Oh, is it? I have never seen this, the Ding family's kung fu is already famous for its light and elegant sword style, and it is also suitable for women to practice." ”

Ruoxi saw him say this, and relieved his heart slightly, it turned out that Zhanzhao didn't know Ding Yuehua yet, that's great, Feifei may still have a chance.

So, the conversation changed and said: "Master Zhan also knows my origin, sooner or later I still have to go back, leaving Feifei here alone, I really can't rest assured." ”

Zhan Zhao glanced at Ruoxi and said: "Girl, don't worry, as long as Miss Xue is in Kaifeng Mansion for a day, Zhan will protect her, if she doesn't want to Kaifeng Mansion one day, Zhan Zhao will do his best to settle everything for her." ”

Ruoxi said: "However, the Song Dynasty has always regarded the great defense of men and women as the first of the female commandments, and Lord Zhan is so bothered about Feifei, is he not afraid of attracting tongues? Even if Lord Zhan carelessly doesn't care about these rights and wrongs, Feifei is a daughter's family after all, and I have to think about her reputation." ”

Zhanzhao paused, looked at Ruoxi very strangely and said, "Miss Ruoxi doesn't look like a person who cares about these things, how can she have an idea?"

Ruoxi was choked by Zhanzhao's words for a while, and didn't know how to answer, standing in place in a daze, saying "this....that....", but didn't know how to continue.

Zhan Zhao saw that she looked anxious, he didn't feel funny in his heart, but his face was silent, and when he saw her standing where she was, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Miss Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?"

Ruoxi saw that the corners of Zhanzhao's mouth were smiling like nothing, and she knew that Zhanzhao was deliberately pretending to be stupid to ask like that, so she turned her heart sideways and asked Zhanzhao in a daze: "Zhanzhao, let me ask you, do you like Feifei?"

Ruoxi has always had a straightforward personality, and he doesn't like beating around the bush the most, anyway, Zhanzhao doesn't know Ding Yuehua yet, so he doesn't do anything, he simply pierces this layer of paper, it's best if he likes it, and if he doesn't want to, he can also make another plan.

Zhanzhao didn't expect Ruoxi to ask him so bluntly, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer her for a while, if he said that he didn't like Feifei, he couldn't say it, but if he said he liked it, to be honest, he hadn't thought about emotional matters since he followed adults, and he always felt that these things were far away from him.

Ruoxi saw that Zhan Zhao didn't answer, and her heart couldn't help but sink, but she still smiled reluctantly: "Lord Zhan, I'll just ask like this, if you don't like Feifei, it's nothing, when the matter of Kaifeng Mansion is over, I will take Feifei away, although she can't go back with me, but I still have a way to find a place for her to live." ”

Zhan Zhao heard that she was going to take Feifei away, and he felt reluctant in his heart, thought about it and said: "Ruoxi girl, Zhan Zhao has been really cumbersome since he joined the public door with adults, and he has never thought about the private affairs of his children, Feifei girl has excellent medical skills, and has a heart to help the world, Zhan Zhao admires her talent, Zhan Zhao regards her as a sister, if you talk about other feelings, Zhan Zhao will not dare to be delusional before she is not sure." ”

"What does Zhan refer to when he is sure?"

Zhan Zhao said: "Zhan Zhao is not sure if he can give his favorite girl a stable life, Zhan Zhao doesn't want to bring danger to his favorite girl because of his job." ”

The corners of Ruoxi's mouth twitched, and she said disdainfully: "I'll just ask you if you like Feifei, why do you have any of this, if you follow Lord Bao all your life, won't you marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of your life?"

"I don't ..... hide it from Miss Ruoxi, Zhanzhao does have this plan. ”

"Ridiculous," Ruoxi snorted coldly, "Fei Feifei has always said that you are clear-minded and open-minded, not as pedantic as the people of this dynasty, I see that she is blind, you have this kind of thinking is not pedantic?"

Ruoxi rolled his eyes and said: "If you like Feifei, since the two of you can get along happily day by day, what do you want to do so much, don't ordinary people have life and death? ”

Zhanzhao couldn't laugh or cry when Ruoxi said this, originally he always felt sad when he talked about feelings, but when Ruoxi said it, it seemed that he was indeed a little worried, but he seemed to be hypocritical.

Zhan Zhao thought to himself, this Ruoxi is no worse than Bai Yutang when it comes to crooked reasoning, no wonder even Bai Yutang sighs to himself with this mouth, when he sees it today, it is really worthy of the name.

Ruoxi talked a lot, and was waiting for Zhanzhao's reaction at the moment, but unexpectedly, Zhanzhao's footsteps stopped, and said to Ruoxi: "Girl, the mortuary has arrived, please." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the door and walked in first.

Ruoxi stomped his feet angrily and said: "You hide, hum, you can hide from the first year of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, I will definitely force out your true words." With a bowed head, he followed into the mortuary.
