Chapter XXVIII. Investigation
Chen Yutian couldn't resist Xuan Xi, so he had to agree to take her to the eldest princess's bedroom to try it.
On the way, Xuan Xi asked him in detail how he planned to test it.
Chen Yutian's method is actually simple, he plans to pretend to investigate the disappearance of the eighth princess, and knock on the side to see if he can gain something. After all, he suspected that the maid had done the disappearance of the eighth princess.
After listening to his plan, Xuan Xi groaned slightly, "It sounds feasible, but I don't know if the other party is so easy to deal with." ”
Chen Yutian smiled faintly, "Dare to kidnap a real princess in the inner garden of the palace, this kind of thing, you can't do it if you don't have the guts." If you are bold, you will naturally not be easy to deal with. ”
Xuan Xi nodded.
The two were walking, when they suddenly heard a cry from the side garden.
"Wang'er, come out and see your mother......"
"Hurry up and get out......"
The voice is poignant and mournful, as if it contains countless sorrows, and people can't help but lament.
Chen Yutian and the others heard it strangely.
In this inner courtyard of the palace, how could anyone cry so miserably?
Curious, the two of them flashed in the direction from which the cry came, and in a moment, they had reached the roof of the annex.
Xuan Xi followed the source of the sound and looked down, his eyes frozen!
In this annex, there was an unkempt woman, crying and laughing in front of a tomb.
The woman hadn't dressed up for a long time, and she hadn't bathed or changed her clothes for a long time, and she was dirty all over her body, looking like the kind of crazy beggar who begged for a living outside.
She held a rancid pancake in her hand, and cried and laughed at the air.
"Wang'er, look, this is your favorite baked cake......"
"Hurry up and take a look, this is your favorite baked cake......"
Looking at the woman's crazy behavior, Chen Yutian and the others had a trace of doubt in their eyes.
The two looked at each other, then nodded at the same time and left the roof.
"What do you think?" Xuan Xi took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian held his chin with the knuckle of his middle finger and muttered for a moment, "Strange, too strange." ”
"Yes, not to mention the woman's madness, let's just say that the tomb, in this deep palace inner garden, or in the harem, how could there suddenly be a tomb built in the courtyard?" Xuan Xi nodded slightly.
"It's really weird. "Chen Yu Tiandao, "Even if the customs of the barbarian country are different from ours in the Central Plains, I think it is still impossible to build the tomb in my own yard, it seems that I will have to find a chance to understand what is going on in the future." Now, let's go to Celestia's dormitory first. ”
Xuan Xi nodded.
......
......
When the two came to the eldest princess's bedroom, they did not see the maid who was with her that day.
The eldest princess was still a little surprised when she saw Chen Yutian, "Huh, is that you?"
Chen Yutian smiled faintly, "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to remember it here, it's really an honor, in Xia Chen Yutian, I am the lord of the Jiulong Mansion of the Xuan Dynasty, and this is Her Royal Highness Xuan Xi, the princess of my dynasty." ”
The surprise on Celestia's face slowly subsided, and she looked at the two of them slightly.
"It turns out that you are the messenger of the original in the palace legend recently, I don't know what you are looking for me?"
Chen Yutian said with a smile: "Since Your Highness already knows the identity of us, then the reason why we sent to your country must be clear to Your Highness." ”
The eldest princess nodded, "This palace has indeed heard about this. However, in my opinion, I think that my father and Lord Taigong have done this too much, and even if I don't rely on you, I think the warriors of our barbarian kingdom will be able to find out the truth of the matter. ”
Chen Yutian was noncommittal, and directly explained the intention.
"Actually, I waited for this time to come here because of the disappearance of the eighth princess, and I want to ask His Highness a few questions. ”
The eldest princess's expression moved slightly, "It turned out that it was for the disappearance of the eighth sister, I don't know what you want to ask?"
"It's nothing, I just learned from the mouth of the eighth princess's personal palace maid that the eldest princess has the best relationship with the eighth princess on weekdays, so I want to ask His Royal Highness a few questions related to the case. ”
Chen Yutian said, his eyes were cast on the position of the palace gate on the side.
He saw no sign of the maid.
Could it be that the man knew he was coming, so he hid out?
Chen Yutian secretly smiled bitterly and shook his head. How is this possible?
Princess Celestia sighed with a moving expression.
"The eighth sister has a really good relationship with me on weekdays, she has such bad luck, I don't feel very good in my heart, you ask, as long as I know, I will tell the truth. ”
Chen Yutian didn't know what he found at this time, his eyes flashed slightly, and he saluted the eldest princess.
"In this way, I would like to thank Your Highness first. ”
"No need, just ask directly, you Central Plains people's etiquette this palace doesn't like it, it's too complicated. ”
Chen Yutian smiled and didn't say anything, but asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking Your Highness, do you know what the eighth princess likes to do on weekdays, and where do you like to go the most?"
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Yutian.
"Is this question related to the disappearance of the eighth sister? And such a question, you can just ask her personal maid, why do you still want to ask me?"
"Whether there is a connection or not, I will judge it below. Chen Yutian still maintained the smile he deserved, "Please also ask His Highness to answer truthfully." ”
Celestia frowned even more.
I saw that she looked at Chen Yutian, and after a while, she sighed slightly, "I really can't do anything with you guys, okay, the eighth sister's favorite thing on weekdays is to be with Shuwen, and her favorite place to go is one is my place, and the other is the third sister's dormitory." ”
Chen Yutian frowned, "It turns out that the eighth princess reads and writes, but why is there no sign in her room?"
Xuan Xi also looked at the eldest princess a little strangely.
Princess Celestia smiled, "Don't look at me like that...... Although the eighth sister likes to read and write, she just likes to accompany the third sister, and if she really likes to do something, it is probably to have fun without worries. ”
Chen Yutian nodded, it turned out that these eight princesses were such a person.
"Your Highness, do you know where she went on the day of the eighth princess's accident?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess held her forehead and thought about it, "The day the eighth sister had an accident...... I didn't seem to have seen her that day, and I didn't know where she had been. ”
"I see. Chen Yutian nodded, his eyes fell on the outside of the palace gate, and then said with a smile, "It's not too early, and we won't bother His Highness too much, so we'll retire." ”
"The two of you go slowly, and the palace will not be far away. ”
"Your Highness stays. ”
After speaking, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi left the dormitory.
The eldest princess kept watching the backs of the two disappear from her sight, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled.
At the same time, a figure appeared behind her unconsciously, looked at the direction in which the two were leaving, and said slightly, "Your Royal Highness." ”
The eldest princess didn't reply slightly, "They shouldn't have noticed you, right?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, my breathing technique is not ordinary, and no one under the Holy Realm should be able to detect it. ”
"That's good. Do you think they have already suspected us by coming this time?" Princess Celestia glanced back at her personal maid.
"No way, whether it's the matter of the two princes or the matter of the eighth princess, I have done it extremely carefully. They have no evidence and can't just suspect us. They should have really come to inquire about the Eighth Princess. ”
"So much for the best. ”
The eldest princess sneered faintly, turned around and left the palace gate.
......
......
After Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi left the eldest princess's bedroom, they went straight to the third princess's bedroom.
However, when they arrived, they were closed.
The third princess was sick in bed and refused to see guests.
This is the news that Chen Yutian and they got from the mouth of the third princess's personal palace maid.
It turned out that the third princess Lang Xin had suffered from a strange disease since she was a child, and she had been suffering from a fever for many years, and it was difficult to treat with a hundred medicines.
Even some of the best imperial doctors in the barbarian country were helpless after seeing it.
Jieli's favorite thing is this third princess who can write poetry and literature, and she is not less worried about her strange illness, and sometimes asks the famous Lang Zhong to be diagnosed and treated, but there is no improvement.
Later, the third princess herself began to read medical books, but even if her medical skills were no worse than the imperial doctors in the palace, she still couldn't solve the strange diseases on her body.
At most, the frequency of the disease can be reduced through acupuncture.
Today is the day of the onset of the disease.
"In that case, then I can't bother. Leave. Chen Yutian bowed his hand slightly to the palace maid of the third princess, and then left with Xuan Xi.
"Shall we go to find Gongsun?" On the way back, Xuan Xi suddenly spoke.
Chen Yutian's body paused slightly, turned his head and smiled, and asked, "Why?"
Xuan Xi said: "You went to visit the third princess, just to find out where the eighth princess went before she disappeared, right? ”
After hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled slightly, "Very reasonable analysis." I didn't expect you to be able to make such an inference now. ”
Xuan Xi glanced at him with his eyes.
"What do you mean now? People used to be stupid. ”
"Okay, good, you're the smartest......" Chen Yutian smiled, they are all girls who are about to get married, and they love to be coquettish like little girls.
"But you're not entirely right. Chen Yutian suddenly changed his words, "The one who went to find Gongsun should be the only one to be precise." ”
"Me?" Xuan Xi pointed to his nose and wondered, "I'll go find Gongsun, so what are you going to do?"
Chen Yutian smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth slightly provoked a trace of arc.
"Of course, I'm going to find out about the Taigong and find out about that crazy woman. ”
