Chapter Ninety-Six: The Princess's Bedroom
Having breakfast with the princess must be extraordinary!
Li Huaiyun clapped his hands, and then entered the main house, and as soon as he walked into the house, he found that the inside of the main house was larger than all the wings in his house combined.
This is where the princess lives! It's big enough.
The wooden kite had already sat down at the table and began to enjoy breakfast, and the woman ate with great vigor as she had done last time at his house.
Forehead! She is like this, she really doesn't look like a princess at all, Li Huaiyun looked at the woman in front of him, and hurriedly walked up, afraid that if it was too late, the things would be eaten.
He sat down in his chair and looked at the plates of exquisite breakfast of various flavors on the table, and his heart was shocked, it was indeed the life of the royal family.
The breakfast in the palace is rich in sweets, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, etc., with a variety of drinks, and a variety of fruits.
Mu Kite gulped down the buns and said to Li Huaiyun, "Hurry up and eat, if it's not enough, I'll go and ask someone to get some more!" ”
"Great!" Li Huaiyun rolled up his sleeves and prepared to eat.
The two of them were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, and they ate on the table in big gulps, Li Huaiyun raised his head and glanced at the wooden kite, this woman was quite compatible with him at the moment.
As before, the two of them ate almost breakfast on the table, and this scene surprised the palace maids who were serving, and some of the palace maids turned their heads and laughed secretly, and they all thought that the princess and his eating were very funny.
"What's so funny about that?" The wooden kite turned his head with a serious face and glanced at the palace maids, this move immediately told them to shut up and lowered their heads, for fear that the princess would be angry.
Li Huaiyun wiped his mouth, then stood up, "Wooden kite!" So where do we go next? ”
"Let's go to my mother's dormitory first! Then go to Dali Temple to see the dossier! ”
Li Huaiyun thought in his heart, hoping to go to Dali Temple as soon as possible to save a waste of time. ”
He tilted his head sideways and put his hand on his face, "So many things, I hope it can be solved smoothly!" ”
"Hmmm! Let's go. The wooden kite stood up and waved his hand, "Follow me!" ”
The wooden kite took Li Huaiyun and walked to the palace where her mother lived, and when she was about to walk outside the Qihua Palace, the two palace maids were already standing outside the door of the Qihua Palace in front of them, holding chrysanthemums in their hands, patiently waiting for the arrival of the wooden kite.
This flower expresses a sense of remembrance.
"Why do you still have flowers?" Li Huaiyun was puzzled by the two palace maids in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel confused in his heart.
According to the normal situation, this flower should have been placed in front of her mother's mausoleum, and the flower was placed here? Isn't there any other meaning.
He really wanted to ask, but now that he was standing in front of the gate of Qihua Palace, it would only backfire if he dared to ask
The wooden kite raised his hand and pushed open the closed gate of Qihua Palace, leaving a shallow handprint on the door.
She looked at the towering walls on both sides, "Although there is no need for food and clothing in this place, there seems to be an irreconcilable struggle between everyone, which is staged at all times, and within these high walls, there are many things that make people feel despicable and filthy. ”
"Are you so sure that your birth mother was killed?"
"I don't think she's going to be killed."
"Are you so sure?"
"You'll know that place you've been there!"
The wooden kite took the chrysanthemum, and she wanted to reach out and take the pastry in the bowl.
Seeing this, Li Huaiyun immediately stepped forward and helped her hold the pastry, "I'll help you!" ”
"Thank you!" The wooden kite spoke in a calm voice,
Li Huaiyun followed the wooden kite into the Qihua Palace, which had long been barren, the courtyard was overgrown with dead grass, the houses inside were dilapidated, and the fenced lake in the middle had dried up.
The wooden kite walked into the dilapidated main house, there were several holes in the roof, and a beam of light shot down from the broken part of the roof, illuminating the originally dim main house, the furniture was covered with dust, and the pillars were full of cobwebs.
She put the chrysanthemum on the bed, and stared at the moldy, smelly quilt.
Li Huaiyun also placed the pastry on the bed, and then stood behind the wooden kite, and looked around for a while, he found that there were a few fresh footprints on the ground, judging from the size, it was definitely not the work of the two of them.
Has anyone been here? He thought to himself, and then he followed the footprints to look at the windowsill, and found that there was a small potted plant there, and on it was actually inserted three incense sticks that had been burned.
He walked up, leaned down, looked closely, and then moved the three sticks of incense with his hand in the pot.
"What's going on?" Li Huaiyun asked, "Apart from you, is there anyone else here to worship your biological mother?" ”
When the wooden kite heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at him, "Don't talk nonsense! My mother is just my daughter! ”
"Is that the current emperor?"
The wooden kite looked disgusted, "Hmph! Then the faint king is even more impossible! He never cared about his mother, even if he knew that his mother was killed and fished out of the lake, he never said a word, nor did he have any sadness. ”
"Are you going to blame him?"
"Impossible! He's such a cold and heartless person, I've seen it a long time ago! ”
"In that case, it must be someone else!" Li Huaiyun cautiously came to the bonsai and asked loudly, "Wood kite, I should be able to move this potted plant, right?" ”
"Of course you can, it's been so many years anyway!"
Li Huaiyun dug lightly on the cracked soil, and as expected, he dug up a rune paper wrapped in white rope in the soil.
After the worship of the wooden kite, he walked up, saw what he was holding in his hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
"Fu paper, look at it like this, it should be asked from some temple, this may represent some kind of expectation, I don't know who will bury this thing here, plus the three incense sticks that have been burned, it must be for the people in this palace."
Li Huaiyun glanced at the wooden kite, "Maybe it's someone who knows your biological mother, or a palace maid and eunuch who served her." ”
"No kidding!" The wooden kite waved his hand in disgust, "The subordinate who followed my mother was already given death by the faint king!" ”
That's right! Niangniang fell into the water and died, and the subordinates in the dormitory could not escape responsibility.
"Who could it be, leaving something here?" He leaned over and looked at the bonsai again, and found that the soil should have been inspected more than once.
"It seems that this man should come at a fixed time."
"Can you catch that?"
"Unless it's something that people stare at every day."
The kite said, "That's easy!" ”
Li Huaiyun continued to observe around the window, and on the horizontal bar by the window, there were several handprints, but strangely, this handprint was missing the middle three fingers.
Li Huaiyun compared, six-six-six? Don't understand?
Mu Kite thought for a while, "Maybe it's someone my mother knows in the palace, and her identity is very special, and no one has ever known about it!" ”
"Hmmm! I think so! ”
Li Huaiyun opened the talisman paper tied with white rope, and found that there were charms drawn on it, and there were several hairs, he picked up one of them, judging from the length and color, it should be a woman's hair.
"There's still hair in there!"
The wooden kite took the hair, and his face was inexplicable, "What's going on with this hair?" Is it my mother's? ”
"It shouldn't be possible, this is the time when things are buried, it shouldn't be far away!"
The kite asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Because this kind of paper is in the soil, it will generally be slowly dissipated after a few months, and you look at the rune paper, but it fades a little."
"Besides, your mother has been dead for so many years, how can this be her hair!"
Li Huaiyun clasped his hands and fell into deep thought, his mouth muttering, "Wrapping a woman's hair, then drawing a charm, burying it in the soil, and inserting incense, these steps are required, indicating that this may be some kind of ritual." ”
The wooden kite hurriedly asked, "Then as long as you untie it, won't you know this spell?" ”
"Probably!"
Since there are hundreds of Taoist charms, although some charms have similar patterns, they have different effects, so Li Huaiyun does not know about this situation.
He explained, "This kind of Taoist charm, unless it is a person who practices Taoist spells, it is difficult for a layman to understand, I will put this thing away first, and then ask Master Liu Helm." ”
"Yes! When I was making spiritual weapons in the Demon Slaying Division, I also needed the help of Lord Liu Helm. ”
Li Huaiyun wrapped his hair back into the rune paper, and then in the house, he found some fabric, wrapped the rune paper, and stuffed it into his clothes.
The wooden kite raised her head and looked around, and in this dim room, a few rays of sunlight were cast, which made her feel some warmth, as if it was the warmth of her mother.
"Do you want to see it here?"
Li Huaiyun looked around for a moment, "There's no need, this place is not the scene of the crime, with this free time, it would be better to go to the scene of the crime or Dali Temple!" ”
"Didn't you say that it's been too long, and the scene of this crime has long been unsightly!"
"That being said, some evidence can last for years!"
Mu Kite suggested, "Then let's take a look at the Lake Center Pavilion, and then go to Dali Temple." ”
"Hmmm! Check it out! ”
The wooden kite walked out, and Li Huaiyun also walked out, and they came to the lake pavilion in the courtyard and stopped for a while.
The wooden kite walked to the middle of the pavilion and looked up at the top, she always remembered that when she was a child, her mother often took her to this pavilion to rest in the shade and teach her to dance.
There was a hint of grief in her eyes, this place was the last time she saw her mother.
After that, her mother was fished out of the lake and turned into a cold corpse.
She sniffed, endured the grief in her heart, and stood by the pillar of the pavilion.
Li Huaiyun raised his head and walked around the center of the pavilion, looking at the top of the pavilion, carved with a stone carving of a fairy flying into the sky, but with the erosion of the years, it has already become unrecognizable.
The floor of the pavilion was overgrown with weeds, and he stepped aside and glanced at the artificial lake below, which was nearly one and a half meters deep, and jumped down from the pavilion, about three meters high, and it was possible to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
Li Huaiyun looked at the wooden kite that was deep in thought, he turned his head to look at the other side, but saw that below, there was a withered stand several meters thick, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
His eyes widened, but he noticed that there was a black aura around the dead tree, similar to what he had seen in the morning.
Is this a delusion? He muttered a few words in his heart, but he was not afraid of anything, and then jumped straight from the pavilion and came to the dead tree.
