Chapter 42: Revisiting Changyanzhai
Seeing that the master did not stop, she hurriedly asked in a low voice:
"Grandma, do you know about the Spring Dynasty and Du Ma joining forces? She has two hearts for you, what do you think you should do? ”
"Put a long line and catch a big fish." Chu Lingyue replied.
If you can't keep it, then squeeze out the last bit of her value and throw it away.
"But they are secretly in the dark, grandma is in the dark, and she is your personal attendant, and she also knows a lot about your affairs outside, if she tells Du Ma everything, won't grandma face a great risk?"
Autumn's worries are not unreasonable, but Chu Lingyue's arrogance is far more than that.
She didn't even bother to let the tracking Gu to the Spring Dynasty, which was enough to see how much control she had over all the changes in the situation.
Early the next morning, Chu Beibei came to King Jing's Mansion, and Chu Lingyue was somewhat surprised by this uninvited guest.
Zhucha looked at the things she was clutching in her hand, and Chu Lingyue only said, "What kind of wind blew our little overlord over?" Is there something wrong with your aunt? ”
"Nope." Chu Beibei hesitated for a moment, looked at the Autumn and Spring Dynasty, and was even more silent.
"You go down." Chu Lingyue commanded.
When the door was closed, Chu Beibei immediately approached, unfolded the things in her hand and put them in front of her, and said softly:
"This is what I saw in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother has a bunch of these things there, and I took a cushion hand when I ate the cake."
At first, Chu Lingyue was still a little unclear, until she carefully observed it, and found that under the pattern drawn on it, the word "Helan" was printed very lightly.
Behind this piece of paper, there is even a simple wolf totem.
Quickly connecting it with He Zhiqing, she looked at Chu Beibei.
Facing her direct gaze, Chu Beibei was a little weak-hearted: "I heard everything you said with A-Niang in the secret room that day...... But don't worry! I won't say it! It is precisely because I listened to your conversation that I felt that this piece of paper was not simple, so I made a special trip to show you. ”
Knowing that the girl in front of her didn't dare to lie, Chu Lingyue glanced at her a few more times, thought about it before asking, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Chu Beibei was stunned, why couldn't she hide anything?
Thinking to herself, she hurriedly handed over a piece of broken jade, and replied:
"I have a good friend who used to work with the emperor's uncle, but he disappeared for some reason. I've asked a lot of people, but whoever I asked, it's like there's never been that person in the world......"
"My aunt has concealed her identity all these years, and I can't let her risk being found out for my own selfishness. Auntie knows everything, can you help me find him? That friend is really important to me......"
The more Chu Beibei spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and seeing that the former little overlord was humbled like this at this moment, Chu Lingyue chuckled.
"I'll help you investigate by my own means, but I can't promise you if I can find it, but you have to help me with one more thing. I need you to help me inquire more about my mother within the royal family. ”
"Auntie, don't worry! I will do it! Chu Beibei was excited.
She knew that the Gu skills of the person in front of her were far above Ah Niang, even more powerful than her mother Yu Yin, even if she couldn't find her friend's whereabouts, she would always be inseparable.
After Chu Beibei left, Chu Lingyue mobilized the Blood Gu to inquire about the content extracted from the Secret Xin Pavilion, and after half an hour, she finally made some progress.
The drawing in my hand is a mechanism drawing. However, the only record related to it is that the Ghost Hand of the Agency participated in the construction of many institutions, the most famous of which is the Tianya Tower of the Imperial Dragon Division.
As for the ghost hand, there was not the slightest information about him in the entire Secret Chamber.
The clue is broken here.
But before Chu Lingyue could brush her thoughts, she found that the bottle of medicine she brought back from Lu Shenyu stored in the soul room was actually automatically diluted and decomposed!
Such a strange phenomenon, Chu Lingyue is the first time to see it.
Suddenly, she remembered something, she packed up her things and went to Guheji with the identity of Chu April.
There are a lot of rules on the ground and underground in Guheji today, and I heard that this is because Ji Beiye wants to welcome his sweetheart back, and it is no wonder that many people in Guheji have been driven to other places to stay idle recently.
All the way to Changyanzhai, I found that without the noise of wind chimes and spices, Chu Lingyue was still a little uncomfortable.
Good thing it's not quiet here.
The sound of ping-pong in Lu Shenyu's room was loud, and it sounded like it was banging on a metal material.
The door was snapped, and the room quieted down immediately after a tinkling noise, and then the door was opened.
Finding out that it was an acquaintance, Lu Shenyu pulled the rope in his hand, locked the gate of Changyanzhai, and got out of the trap himself.
"What are you doing again?" The little guy's face was full of vigilance.
Taking out the medicine bottle, Chu Lingyue said straight to the point: "I haven't researched anything yet, so it came out, it's like this, what's going on?" ”
After taking the medicine bottle and opening it, Lu Shenyu was so smoked by the smell that he vomited on the spot, and quickly closed the lid before replying:
"Let me tell you the truth, this thing is a kind of parasitic thing in the human body, similar to Gu worms, but not as active and autonomous as Gu worms, after all, it is just a condiment."
Pouting in disgust, Lu Shenyu said again: "Its efficacy is based on the matching things, so it needs to enter the body in time, once there is no carrier to bear, it will 'die', understand?" ”
Taking the medicine bottle again, Chu Lingyue endured the smell and sniffed it again.
No wonder I didn't speculate what its effect was when I checked this medicine before, but Tang Shiling was poisoned by it, so it turned out to be like this?
But if Duma poisoned her, just to get out of the library, it wouldn't have taken so much effort, right?
It seems that Tang Shiling has to stare more carefully.
At the same time, Chu Lingyue was more concerned about the whereabouts of these drugs.
If they are used in a bad place by someone with a good intention, will not innocent people suffer?
Seeing that she cared, Lu Shenyu looked like a little adult in both hands:
"You're not the first person to come to my Changyan Zhai to make trouble, I'm out of business for a while, just because I don't want anyone to do anything to me. I really can't remember who the buyers are, but if I really want to think of anything, I won't hide it from you. You can rest assured, I won't produce these drugs anymore in the future. ”
Listening to the little guy's words, Chu Lingyue's heart was hot, she raised her hand and rubbed her brain, and then took out the drawings of the mechanism and asked:
"Can you tell what this is?"
Lu Shenyu hurriedly shook his head, but in the next second, the other party pointed to the pile of metal materials in the corner of the room: "Improve the mechanism application, right?" Have you forgotten the last time you said you made that thing yourself? ”
Lu Shenyu was dumbfounded, rubbed his nose in embarrassment before saying, "My trick is an ancestral skill, but my brother won't let me leak it, you have to help me keep it secret." ”
"Okay."
After taking the drawings, Lu Shenyu pulled a piece of cloth, found a magnifying glass and a ruler from the messy operating table, and studied it carefully before saying:
"This drawing is very complicated, but the design is very exquisite, all the data is very accurate, it should be a very important part, but I can't guess what it is used for a while, I have to polish it to know."
Hearing this, Chu Lingyue pinched her chin and pushed forward with reverse thinking, "What kind of mechanism would design such a delicate little thing?" ”
"The bigger the agency, the more you need it." Lu Shenyu replied, "Because it involves safety issues, there can't be the slightest difference in the pool." ”
Chewing on her words, Chu Lingyue entered into contemplation again.
This drawing was found by Chu Beibei in Shoukang Palace, and it has the surname "Helan" on it, and she also found the trap box in Shoukang Palace......
Could it be that there has been a big man in the Helan family who is proficient in mechanical techniques and is doing things for the Empress Dowager Tang?
But the Helan family has been in decline for many years, and the clansmen have long since changed their names and surnames and disappeared, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Tang, He Zhiqing would have found no such person.
Thinking about it, Chu Lingyue thought about it with a hint of tentativeness, and told Lu Shenyu that she had accidentally seen a trap cassette, and expressed extreme distress:
"Speaking of which, this kind of stuff is too hard to decipher. There are so many mysteries hidden in a small box, and the person who makes this kind of thing is really amazing. ”
Who knew that Lu Shenyu's face was full of disdain: "There are still people who do such a chicken thing as a trap cassette?" Zhang Jianzi really got into the water in his head when he made this thing. If you really can't crack it, just smash it and you'll be done. ”
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Chu Lingyue's mouth twitched slightly.
This little guy really knows how to find a way, although it is rough, but it works.
"Who is Zhang Jianzi?" She asked.
"A bad old man who knows how to do tricks but is a drunkard. It's been years since he's been out of nowhere, and it's been a long time since I've heard from him. ”
After getting this news and chatting briefly with Lu Shenyu about some inconsequential matters, Chu Lingyue left the black market.
It's still that crossroads, and it's still that familiar Tianyuan Gu breath.
It was very crowded with people here, and Chu Lingyue searched for a long time to find the source of the smell, but when she looked away, she realized that Ji Beiye had been staring at her for a long time.
This time, the Gu King didn't react.
"Little witch girl, don't come unharmed." When Ji Beiye walked over, he was still holding a blindfolded woman in Tsing Yi.
"Have you encountered anything unpleasant in my Guheji today?"
Seeing that the two of them behaved intimately, Chu Lingyue subconsciously took a step back, "Good pavilion master, Guheji is very good everywhere, and there will be no unpleasant things." ”
After saying that, the tip of her nose sniffed slightly.
The woman in front of her had a very faint smell of medicine on her body.
It is a clear fragrance for eye diseases.
"Looking at the sky, it's going to rain soon, so it's better to go home early, little witch."
Ji Beiye's laughter interrupted Chu Lingyue's observation, and when she answered, the other party had already left with the woman in Tsing Yi, and only Fu Ling with an umbrella was left by her side.
"Send the girl home at the behest of the pavilion master, and the girl please lead the way."
The corners of her mouth moved slightly, and Chu Lingyue refused: "My house is nearby, thank you for the kindness of the pavilion master and the adult, and say goodbye." ”
