Chapter 51: The Chamber of Secrets
How could Sun Shining not hear the anger in the old lady's words, on weekdays, everyone is respectful, the characters before and after the saddle, on the day of the feast, a table of warblers and swallows accompanied by words, where can you swallow this breath at will.
"Don't be angry, if even the old lady knows that Miss Sun was choked by the neck and attacked, then I believe that what Miss Sun said is the truth, so when people are old, don't move easily, otherwise it will be easy to say the wrong thing." Shen Nianyi said calmly, a small flaw is enough to reveal the tail of the clue.
The blood on the old lady's face receded, and her hands trembled like a sieve: "No, no, my grandson, he is innocent, he has done nothing." ”
"Bring Jiang Peixi over for questioning." Shen Nianyi accentuated, "If not, I'll go over in person." ”
"Let's ask Lord Shen to come and take a look for yourself." The old lady really became an old lady at this time, not as spirited as before, she covered her face with one hand, and refused to face the truth.
Ruyi had an unbearable look on her face: "Lord Shen, Miss Sun, please come with me, the courtyard where the eldest prince lives is secluded, I'll go get a lantern first." ”
The faint candlelight illuminates the cobblestone path, there is no moon tonight, it is extremely cold, and the wishful walking is getting more and more deviated, Sun Shining suddenly stopped, Shen Nianyi turned his head and asked her: "But what's wrong?" ”
"Last time, I left the banquet and walked a short distance when I met the man dressed as a woman, which was not in this direction at all." Sun Shining thinks that her sense of direction is not bad, although she rarely goes to the street, but the places she has been to, she will definitely not go wrong the second time.
"That's because the eldest prince ran out without authorization, and there were not enough people in the front yard for the little son's birthday feast, and all the dozen or so people around the eldest prince were misappropriated, otherwise there would be no such thing." Ruyi said in a low voice, "Eldest son, he can't help himself, Miss Sun understands when she sees him." ”
"If it weren't for favoritism, and if it wasn't for the dignified Protector's Mansion, a feast would have sent a dozen or so subordinates to help." Shen Nian hit the nail on the head one by one, Ruyi opened his mouth, there was no way to continue to complain, this adult's eyesight is good, and his tongue is not forgiving, no wonder the old lady is deflated.
The yard is really secluded, all the way in, there are no less than dozens of people before and after the next person Yahuan, seeing Ruyi are smiling, coming up to pull and shout sister, and some people want to serve tea and water to offer hospitality, on weekdays, Ruyi is afraid that he is also very much eaten, but today he is particularly upset: "Didn't you see that you are doing business, don't make a mess, do what you have at hand, who is on duty tonight?" ”
"Sister Ruyi, it's me who guards the door." The young man was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he seemed to be very clever, "I'm Xiaozhong." ”
"The gatekeepers also came to join in the fun, watching the gossip, no wonder something went wrong last time." Ruyi sneered, "After you are on duty tonight, you don't have to work, I will go back to the old lady and ask your parents to take you back to teach you for a few more years." ”
"Sister Ruyi, the eldest son fell asleep, fell asleep, I dared to come out to breathe, I really wasn't lazy, don't tell the old lady, I'm going to be beaten to death by my father." Xiao Zhong was so frightened that his knees weakened, and he had to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
Sun Shining looked at it coldly, Ruyi was angry in Shen Nian, so she went to this cold palace-like place to find someone to be angry, she was attacked last time, most of it was Ruyi's thread, what role did Ruyi play in this scene, she still wanted to ask!
"Which room does Jiang Peixi sleep in?" Shen Nianyi didn't want to see this kind of senseless fight at all, the people were in a big house, and the people bit each other, and the scene was more unbearable than the dog-eat-dog on the street.
Xiao Zhong didn't know him at all, he just blindly begged Ruyi, and Ruyi stomped his feet with hatred: "Why don't you take Lord Shen to the eldest prince's house quickly, otherwise the old lady will punish me together." ”
In front of the door of the house, the iron chain was horizontal, circled three or four times, and a palm-sized copper lock was added, Xiao Zhong trembled and untied the key from the trouser belt: "The eldest prince is already asleep, I saw him sleeping with my own eyes, you listen to how quiet the house is." ”
said it very carefully, as if the house was not a dignified prince of the Hou Mansion, but a man-eating flood beast, Shen Nian was unmoved, but one hand brought Sun Shining behind her, she bowed her head slightly, and she could see his hand, which was attached to the corner of his shirt, and there was a sense of protection in the ceremony.
The house was cleaned very neatly, a person dressed in azure clothes, lying facing inward, not moving at all, as Xiao Zhong said, he slept peacefully, he wanted to invite credit, and interjected: "Sister Ruyi, I didn't lie to you, the eldest prince is sleeping peacefully." ”
Shen Nianyi had already taken three steps and made two steps, stepped forward, even Sun Shining smelled an indescribable sweet fragrance in the air, which made people drowsy, and his limbs were weak, Jiang Peixi on the bed had been completely turned over, Ruyi screamed, Xiao Zhong retreated again and again, fell in the corner, and couldn't get up again.
"Cover your mouth and nose, and you go out first." Shen Nianyi didn't think about it, and pushed Sun Shining, "Hurry up, don't even have your illness at once." ”
Sun Shining covered her face with her sleeves and hurriedly walked out, she clearly saw that Jiang Peixi's eldest son, his face was blue, and there were blood lines flowing out of his seven orifices, and his face was the delicate face that almost strangled her with his arm that night.
They came one step late, just one step away.
Shen Nianyi's fingers pressed on the side of Jiang Peixi's neck, there was no pulse, and then opened his eyelids to check, his pupils dilated, and he didn't have the slightest reaction to the lights in the room, this person died, but the muscles have not hardened, and he has not been dead for a long time.
He walked up to Xiao Zhong: "When did you come out and lock the door when you saw the eldest prince asleep?" ”
"Half an hour at most, no more than half an hour at most." Xiao Zhong obviously said that he was frightened, wow wow crying, desperately banging his head against the wall, this time he was really going to be beaten to death by his father, the eldest son died, and he actually died when he was on duty!
"Old lady, old lady doesn't know yet." Ruyi muttered to himself, as if he suddenly thought of the key, walked out of the house, shouted at the rest of the people, and ordered no one to talk too much, this news can not reach the ears of the old lady at this time, even if the eldest prince does not become a talent, it is also the old lady's own grandson, where can he face such bad news, the eldest prince has an accident, if the old lady has another mistake.
"Xiao Zhong, Xiao Zhong." Ruyi shouted decisively, "Go and lock the courtyard door, and no one is allowed to go out of all the things that are doing things in this courtyard." ”
Those subordinates didn't know what was going on, and when they poked their brains, Shen Nianyi had closed the door of the house, and he noticed that the room had no windows, and there were walls on three sides.
He walked into the courtyard, raised his head and looked at the sky, the darker and dimmer the sky, the more things happened, his right hand waved into the air, the signal was issued, he was going to wait for someone to come, and when he turned around again, Shen Nianyi found that he did not see Sun Shining's figure.
He heard the sound of vomiting, depressed, coming from the corner: "Shining, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sun Shining listened to his words before exiting the house, the whole person already felt like a river and a sea, she quickly grabbed the crack in the wall with her fingers, desperately panting outside, obviously Ruyi and Xiaozhong didn't look so bad, could it be that the aroma would stimulate the toxicity in her body, a person is already dead, will it be her next!
She leaned against the wall and moved out little by little, as if she could smell the breath outside, the rolling of her chest could suppress a point, no one helped her, she didn't even have the strength to call someone to help her, until she reached the outside of the hospital, she fell under the begonia tree and vomited heartbreakingly.
All she spit out was clear water, and then sour bile, she heard Shen Nianyi call her, and wanted to tell him not to come over, such a simple sentence, she couldn't say it, so she could only stand on the ground, let him walk to her side, bend down, grab her waist with his arm, and pick her up.
The smell on her body even felt bad to himself, but he didn't mind at all, he carried her straight into the house, whispered Ruyi to pour hot water to wipe her down, and asked if there were any clothes that could be changed, Ruyi hurried over to help.
Sun Shining was a little confused, but she could tell that the person who was wiping her face was Ruyi, and she grabbed the other party's wrist: "You also helped me wipe my neck last time, I remembered, you also took out the medicine jar and wiped a layer on my neck." ”
Dragonfly also has the same medicine there, Shiying's neck is pinched red and swollen, after wiping the medicine for a stick of incense, the injury will subside as usual, Ruyi's hand is stiff there, dare not say more, at this time, it is better to close your mouth tightly.
"You also said that I vomited after I got drunk, and then you look at how embarrassing it is to really vomit, where will you wake up is like no one, how much do you hide and refuse to say, why do you hurt me like this." Sun Shining held his breath and hurriedly finished a few words before letting go of his hand.
"I didn't hurt you." Ruyi finally held back such a sentence, "I don't know, I can't say." ”
"You can't say, whether the old lady can say it, or the Hou Ye can say it." Shen Nianyi had a good impression of the Marquis of the Protector, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the house, and the Marquis never showed up.
"Master Hou has been away from home for a few days." Ruyi shuddered, and said with a bitter face, "Lord Shen, why did the eldest prince die, is it his own illness, if he dies in a seizure, then we can get rid of it." ”
Shen Nianyi stared at her and said, "What was it like when he had a seizure, did you see it?" ”
Ruyi hesitated, but nodded: "I've seen it a few times, it's epilepsy, I have seizures and convulsions, I shout unconsciously, and I can't really hear it, and the whole person doesn't look like a human, but like a wounded beast." ”
"How long has he been suffering from this epilepsy?" Shen Nianyi asked again.
"In the past, I only said that I was weak and the root of the disease that fell in my mother's womb really didn't happen, almost four or five years ago." Ruyi knew that he couldn't hide anything tonight, so he simply shook it out, "If the old lady goes back and investigates, please ask Lord Shen to say a few good words to excuse the people in our room." ”
