Chapter 333: Two Sachets
Xiao Ti said slowly: "The eunuch who died is called Wangfu, and when we found him, he happened to be dead, this is definitely not a coincidence, he is very likely to have been killed." ”
Yu Yuan nodded in agreement.
"Those two files were forged by Wangfu, and the people behind the scenes were really afraid that he would leak secrets, so they killed him.
In this way, our previous guess is likely to be correct.
We are one step closer to the truth. ”
Xiao Ti exhaled softly: "I have to enter the palace again tomorrow." ”
Yu Yuan picked up two corns on the ground and handed one of them to Xiao Ti.
"Eat something, eat and sleep well, and cultivate enough spirit to have the strength to catch the real culprit behind the scenes."
Xiao Ti took the corn and peeled off the corn husk layer by layer, revealing the golden corn kernels inside.
When you bite into it, it is fragrant and sweet, with a faint burnt aroma unique to charcoal.
After eating roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes, Xiao Ti felt that his stomach was full.
He washed up briefly, and then went to bed with Yu Yuanxuan and went to sleep.
Waiting until the next morning, Xiao Ti entered the palace again.
He took someone to the chamberlain and thoroughly checked Wangfu's residence from the inside out, and the people who were close to Wangfu on weekdays were also carefully interrogated.
Everyone said that Wangfu relied on himself to study, read and write, so he thought very highly of himself, and he hardly interacted with other eunuchs in the inner chamberlain on weekdays, and he was a particularly withdrawn person.
Because of this, no one will care about what he does on weekdays, let alone know if he has any secrets hidden in private?
Xiao Ti returned to the Dharma Division at noon.
Just in time for lunch, he and Yuan sat in the private room of the dining hall to eat.
Yu Yuanxuan asked curiously.
"What did you find today?"
Xiao Ti drank the soup in the bowl and said: "Wangfu used to be a child of an official family, but later because of an accident with the elders in the family, the whole family was sent down, and he was forced to enter the palace and become a eunuch. Because of his background, he felt that he was different from other eunuchs, he was a loner on weekdays and never had deep friendships with people. ”
Yu Xuan: "So, no one knows about Wangfu?" ”
Xiao Ti bowed slightly: "Hmm." ”
Yu Yuan's face showed a little disappointment.
Xiao Ti: "Although we couldn't get anything out of the mouth, we did find a few things from his residence. ”
Yu Yuanyuan was curious: "What is it?" ”
Xiao Ti did not answer directly.
"Let's eat first, and I'll show it to you when I'm done."
Yu Yuanyuan had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and eat honestly.
When she was full of food and drink, she couldn't wait to pull Xiao Ti back to Jingmingzhai.
Xiao Ti looked at her funny: "Don't you want to take a nap?" ”
On weekdays, she would go back to take a nap after lunch, but now she even forgot to take a nap in order to satisfy her curiosity.
Yu Yuan urged: "Don't sleep, you can show me those few things." ”
Xiao Ti was helpless and returned to Jingmingzhai with her.
He ordered a wooden box to be fetched.
When I opened the box, there were a few things lying quietly inside, namely a sachet, a purse, a sweat towel, and a pillow case.
Xiao Ti said: "These are all found from the Wangfu House. ”
Yu Yuanxuan picked up these things and looked at them, but found nothing unusual.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything wrong with these things?" ”
Xiao Ti: "Didn't you notice?" The stitches of these things are very delicate and neat, not like what a man can do. ”
Yu Yuan blinked.
Although she is good at cooking, she has never been a female celebrity, and she knows nothing about needlework.
Yu took these things to the window, and took advantage of the sunlight outside to take a closer look again, and found that their stitches were indeed very delicate.
She didn't dare to say anything else, anyway, she couldn't sew such delicate stitches herself.
Yu Yuan thought for a while: "Maybe Wangfu is very good at sewing and mending?" ”
After all, he is a bachelor, and he doesn't have to sew clothes for him on weekdays, so he can only do it himself?
Xiao Ti naturally thought about this too, and said.
"I've seen the clothes he wears, as well as the clothes stored in his closet, the stitches can only be regarded as improvised, and there are definitely no delicate and neat stitches of these things, which should have been given to him by others."
Yu Yuan pondered: "The one who can send this kind of thing is a woman nine times out of ten." ”
Xiao Ti continued: "And she is still a woman who is very good at needlework. ”
If you can find this mysterious woman, maybe you can know who Wangfu was working for before his death?
Yu Yuanxuan flipped through several things in his hand and looked at them several times.
The colors of these things are very plain, among which the sweat towel and purse are embroidered with the name of Wangfu, the incense sachet is embroidered with two orchids, and the pillow case is embroidered with a pair of lively small carp.
Whether it's bluegrass or carp, it's a very common thing, and there's nothing special about it.
Xiao Ti had already asked people to check the origin of these things, but they found nothing.
No one knows who they came from?
Xiao Ti saw that he was staring at the sachet for a long time and didn't move, so he couldn't help but persuade.
"Forget it, you better go to a nap, I'll have people check these things again.
People who can send things to Wangfu from time to time should live in the palace.
The palace is so big, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask people to check all the women in the palace who are good at needlework. ”
It's a lot of work and it's not always rewarding, but it's the only thing they can think of at the moment.
Who left them with too few clues?
Yu Xuan suddenly said something.
"This sachet feels a little familiar to me."
Xiao Ti was slightly stunned: "Have you ever seen this sachet?" ”
Yu Yuan shook his head: "No." ”
Xiao was puzzled, since he hadn't seen it, how could he feel familiar?
He couldn't help but say, "Is it your delusion?" ”
Yu Yuanxuan did not answer.
She stared at the embroidery on the sachet for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
"I remember! It's that sachet! ”
Without waiting for Xiao Ti to ask the reason, Yu Yuanxuan ran away with the sachet on his feet.
Xiao Ti immediately chased after him.
The two returned to the lounge one after the other.
Yu Yuan opened the dresser and took out a small and delicate sachet from it.
Xiao Ti was quite puzzled when he saw the sachet.
"Where did this sachet come from?"
Yu Yuan quickly explained.
"Do you still remember when we entered the palace on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings?
That day, Concubine Shu gave me a sachet.
I always felt like there was something wrong with that sachet.
When I came back, I poured out all the spices in the sachet and handed them to Xiao Luo to help check them.
Xiao Luo said that there is a very rare plant in the spice, and its taste is very pungent to snakes.
It was because I had it with me that day that the poisonous snake bit me.
The spices are still in Xiao Luo's place, and the sachet was put away by me, and it is it. ”
