Chapter 11 Eleven, Luoyi Fengdong
I feel... I didn't do anything wrong!
Huang Zixia simply felt that she was too wronged.At least she saved a meal for Prince Kui's mansion. I don't know why that uncle showed her the face.
"Chonggu, what are you thinking?"
Zhou Ziqin scrambled to put a hoof in her bowl, and said happily: "Look at this hoof, it's half fat and half thin, it's just two inches above the tip of the pig's trotter, and the essence of the whole pig's trotter is in this piece ! To be able to snatch the best piece of hoof among so many people is a talent like me!"
"It's summer..." He still ate hoofs, and Zhou Ziqin wanted to snatch them for her.
She looked at the table in front of her, Zuo Jinwuwei's food was really good, all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, and today, to welcome the newcomer Zhang Xingying, they even served roast suckling pig.
"But having said that, Second Brother Zhang's riding skills are really good. It's only the first day today, and he can control the horse freely. In a few days, he will become familiar with his horse, and he is guaranteed to be among the best in Zuo Jinwu Guard!" Zhou Ziqin Lower your voice and discuss the previous training scene with Huang Zixia.
Huang Zixia nodded, and before he had eaten a few mouthfuls, a group of people from Zuo Jinwuwei lined up to toast.
"Eunuch Yang, the execution last time really opened our eyes!"
"Yeah, amazing skills! Admiration!"
"Come on, Eunuch Yang, let me toast you!"
"Fourth brother Liu, don't fight me! I came first! Eunuch Yang, please—"
Huang Zixia looked at a bunch of men waiting for him to drink, and was at a loss. Wang Yun came over and reprimanded: "Is it possible that you are not an opponent of Eunuch Yang on the court, so you are going to get it back at the wine table? Eunuch Yang is a busy person. In the afternoon I still have to investigate the case, if you force him down, I hope Dali Temple will not settle accounts with you!"
Everyone was in awe immediately: "Hey, Eunuch Yang will still solve the case?"
Zhou Ziqin patted Huang Zixia on the shoulder, more proud than himself that he had solved the case: "Eunuch Yang solved the case of the Four Plans of the Capital, which was all the rage at the beginning of the year, and the murder of Princess Kui by two maidservants of the Langxie family last month."
"Oh! Disrespect, disrespect!" A group of simple-minded men were suddenly shocked, and looked at her with reverence in their eyes, "I don't know what is the big case this time, and the father-in-law is required to do it in person?"
"Come on, father-in-law, for your heroic deeds, let's have another drink..."
"Get out!" Wang Yun scolded with a smile, and drove away a group of people, then looked at Huang Zixia helplessly, "I'm sorry, Zuo Jin Wuwei is a bunch of rough people, there's nothing I can do."
"Where, it's very good here." This scene reminded her of when she was in Shuzhong, the group of policemen she was partnered with were also like this, they even liked to make a scene when they were eating, they were all young people who had no intention of scheming.
Huang Zixia turned to look at Zhang Xingying, who was supposed to be the protagonist of today.He had a smile on his face, but his expression kept wandering, his eyes didn't know where to look.
Huang Zixia sat down and asked him: "What's the matter, do you still like to eat the food made by Ah Di?"
He quickly shook his head and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious..." As if to prove his words, he stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth.
Huang Zixia also pretended not to know, picked up the bowl and ate the greasy hoof, while remembering the light and delicate dishes of Kui Palace.
The dishes in Kui Palace are light and clean, very suitable for summer. Zhenliu Pavilion is a suitable place to live in summer.The doors and windows are open on all four sides, and the wind and lotus are shaking on three sides. Only one side is connected to the curved bridge and leads to the winding path of weeping willows on the bank. The water and wind are light blue, the dark fragrance is faint, and the room is cool. Sitting in front of the desk alone, Li Shubai looked at the empty seat opposite, obviously wanting to ignore it, but felt it was more and more an eyesore. He silently signaled the people next to him to put down everything, stood up and walked to the curved bridge.A branch of lotus in full bloom could not stand the scorching sun and hung in front of him. He smelled the cool fragrance of the lotus and couldn't help but stare at it for a long time. Jing Yu, who was standing behind him, heard him say three words in a low voice—— "the second time." Jing Yu thought about it puzzledly, but still didn't understand what it meant, someone rushed over from the shore and reported, "Princess Tongchang's mansion sent someone to invite Eunuch Yang Chonggu." Li Shubai turned his head and asked after hearing Yang Chonggu's words, "What's the matter?" "Reporting to the lord, it is said that something serious happened in the princess mansion. Princess Tongchang is suffering from sudden illness and palpitations. The imperial doctor is treating her, but she still ordered someone to invite Eunuch Yang Chonggu over first." Li Shubai frowned slightly, then walked out along the Quqiao, while instructing Jing Yu: "Prepare the car."
"Eunuch Yang, the carriage of the palace is waiting for you at the gate..." Huang Zixia looked up in surprise at the doorman Zuo Jinwuwei came in to inform, and asked in amazement, "Carriage?" "Yes. He said he wanted to take you to the Princess Mansion as soon as possible." Even a meal is uneasy, but the monthly salary is deducted so severely.Can such a boss be called a good boss? Huang Zixia forced a smile on his face, bid farewell to his reluctant colleagues with a glass of wine, and hurried to the outside of the yamen to have a look, and sure enough the carriage of King Kui's Mansion was parked there. She quickly knocked on the door of the car and said, "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, this servant deserves to die." There was silence inside, it seemed that King Kui was not going to talk to her anymore. She breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go around and sit on the shaft with Uncle Ayuan, but just as she moved, Li Shubai's cold voice came from inside: "You deserve to die." Huang Zixia smiled wryly, and stood there stiffly, not daring to move. "As the eunuch of the royal family, the Holy Majesty personally entrusted you with the case of the princess' mansion, and now there are ups and downs, and you just died, you are relaxed and happy, come here to drink and feast, and make a lot of money - don't you think you deserve to die? " Huang Zixia's scalp was numb, and she was obedient and dared not speak. He watched her through the car window.In the midsummer afternoon, the sunlight was strong, shining on her slightly hazy face, it was like a peach blossom in full bloom, an extremely moving color. Because of this beautiful color, Li Shubai felt a strange flame burning up from his heart quickly. By his side, she has always been quiet and indifferent, as if only the grievances and the case linger in her heart, even her breathing is undisturbed, and she has never violated the rules in every gesture.However, when she was not by his side, she lived such a lively and lively life, playing polo with a group of men behind his back, mixing with the men and pushing drinks... He didn't have to see it with his own eyes, he could already imagine her and The appearance of those people calling themselves brothers and laughing wantonly—— She completely forgot that she was a woman, and completely abandoned the quietness and indifference when she was by her side. And the moment when she was the brightest and brightest, would never be shown to him. The flame in his heart was burning Li Shubai's chest at this moment. At this moment, he forgot that he was the calm and self-restraining King Kui. He stood up and kicked the car door, stood on it and looked down at her, with a low and hoarse voice: "Come up!" Huang Zixia looked up at him, looking at his deep and clear silhouette in the backlight, with eagle-like sharp eyes, for some reason, an inexplicable fear surged in her heart, her breath stagnated unconsciously, and she dared not respond. "Everyone in Chang'an knows that Prince Kui has always been calm and his anger is invisible. How could he be angry with a little eunuch today?" A playful laugh came from behind, as if he didn't know the tense atmosphere between the two at this time, Wang Yun smiled, lightly waved the fan that Huang Zixia gave back to him last time, and bowed slightly to Li Shubai: "Today is the first day that Eunuch Yang's friends came here. Eunuch Yang values friendship the most, and many brothers here also admire Eunuch Yang very much, so I invited Eunuch Yang to come here. I believe the lord will not blame us for forcing Yang Father-in-law drank two more glasses of wine?" Seeing Wang Yun coming out in person, Li Shubai couldn't express his kindness face to face, so he just said: "I don't care about her personal affairs, but today there is a problem with the case she is in charge of, so I have to deal with it immediately, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Wang Yun smiled and said to Huang Zixia: "Hurry up, after this case is solved, a group of brothers from the Zuojinwuwei will invite the father-in-law to celebrate the victory." Li Shubai glanced at him, and motioned for Huang Zixia to sit in front with Uncle Ayuan. Huang Zixia breathed a sigh of relief, and after paying attention to Wang Yun, he hurried to the front, jumped into the car and sat beside Uncle Ayuan. Wang Yun smiled and watched her go.Zhou Ziqin hurried out behind him and asked, "Did Chonggu go to the princess mansion? Did something happen? Why didn't you take me there?" "Why are you going? It's not enough to follow Chonggu every day." He left a sentence, turned and walked back. Zhou Ziqin was baffled by his words: "Isn't it good to follow Chonggu? There must be suspicious cases and dead bodies following him. With such a good resource, who would I follow if I don't follow him?" Wang Yun looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Let's go."
Not even the first moment. Everyone in Princess Tongchang's mansion stood outside the high platform tremblingly to serve as servants, but they dared not go in. A group of people crowded there, not daring to make a sound. Li Shubai led Huang Zixia to the high platform step by step.When everyone saw him coming, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Chuizhu standing in front of the crowd, Huang Zixia's face was anxious and her eyes wandered, so she asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" Seeing her, Chui Zhu quickly lowered her head and said, "Princess's Jiuluanchai...is gone." gone.Princess Tongchang's dream came true, and the hairpin she valued the most was really gone. Huang Zixia frowned slightly, seeing that Li Shubai had already entered, she quickly nodded to Chui Zhu, and followed quickly. The Xiangfei bamboo curtain woven with gold threads has been put down, and the small pavilion looks a little dark.In the half-light, they saw Princess Tongchang leaning on the couch, and Concubine Guo Shu sitting beside her, waving a white round fan for her. Princess Tongchang was wearing a white gauze dress, and her long hair fell down on the couch like black silk. The black was extremely black, and the white was extremely white. The weak and sickly condition made her face not so thin and stubborn. , I feel that she is much more lovable than before. However, seeing the person sitting in front of her made Huang Zixia's chest throb slightly, and she suddenly understood in her heart why she was so attractive. Yu Xuan. The light in the hall was dim, but it couldn't hide his freshness.He sat in front of Princess Tongchang with an upright and relaxed posture.Impeccable demeanor, bright and clear face exudes a cold and faint brilliance like the last quarter moon. And his voice was gentle and clear, like broken jade gently hitting and echoing in ice water. He narrated the "Book of Rites" for Princess Tongchang: "In the past, Shun made a five-string qin and sang "South Wind" - the qin at that time There are Gongshangjiao Zhengyu five-tone, each string represents the monarch, subject, people, things, things, and later King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou each added a string to form a lyre..." His voice was soft and clear, as if it could drive away the scorching heat in such a summer day.Not only Princess Tongchang looked at him, but even Concubine Guo Shu put down her handkerchief fan and listened attentively. Li Shubai stood at the door of the small pavilion, examining Yuxuan.After a long time, he turned his eyes to Huang Zixia again.Seeing that Huang Zixia just stood with his head bowed silently, without any expression on his face, he looked away and coughed lightly. When Princess Tongchang saw him, she sat up and bowed her head to him on the couch: "Fourth Emperor Uncle." Yu Xuan stood up and stood aside, not saying a word. "You don't feel well, so there is no need to be polite." Li Shubai said to Princess Tongchang.Concubine Guo Shu supported Princess Tongchang's shoulders and said, "It's a great honor for King Kui to come to visit you personally today." Princess Tongchang looked at Huang Zixia and said, "Eunuch Yang, now my Jiuluan Chai is really lost! You... what do you think?" She was obviously still afraid of her dream, holding her heart and panting slightly, with deep fear in her eyes. Huang Zixia hurriedly asked: "I don't know how the Jiuluan hairpin was lost? Can the princess describe one or two details for me?" After all, Concubine Guo Shu is a concubine, and it is inconvenient to be in the same room with the prince, so she can only sigh and signal Yuxuan to withdraw.Yu Xuan quietly closed the book and followed Concubine Guo Shu out of the small pavilion. Sitting beside Li Shubai, he casually flipped through the "Zhou Li" kept on the small cabinet beside the bed, and casually listened to Princess Tongchang's story about the loss of Jiuluan Chai. Next to "Zhou Li", squatting a two-inch-tall little porcelain dog.Everything in the Princess Mansion is exquisite and elegant, but this little porcelain dog is quite different from these gold, jade and jewels. It is about half the size of a palm, with a naive shape. Although it is obviously a market item, it is very delicately made. He looked at the porcelain dog and heard Princess Tongchang say to Huang Zixia: "After I had that dream a few days ago, you said yesterday that you would pay attention to this case, so after you left, I took Jiuluan Chai Give it to the maids, let them keep it carefully..." Princess Tongchang was already palpitating and out of breath just after saying these few words. She leaned on the couch, her breathing was disordered, she pressed her chest and couldn't speak. Huang Zixia quickly patted her on the back and called out, "Come here!" The footsteps were hurried, and several close maids, including Chuizhu and Luopei, hurried in and hurriedly supported Princess Tongchang.Chuizhu took out a small bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill for Princess Tongchang to take, and kept helping her caress her back until her breathing became smoother before she heaved a sigh of relief. There were thin beads of sweat on Chuizhu's forehead, and she didn't bother to wipe it off, so she stood up quickly and went to the side to pour tea.Seeing Huang Zixia sizing up Chuizhu, Princess Tongchang pointed at her weakly, and said in a low voice, "Look, Wei Ximin is gone, and with so many people around me, only Chuizhu is the most powerful... It's a pity that I'm about to marry Now, who can be so considerate in the future." Chuizhu hurriedly knelt down and said, "As long as the princess has a word, Chuizhu would rather serve the princess till she grows old, and never leave!" "Go, I don't know how long I can live." She said, turning her head to look at Li Shubai and Huang Zixia, and smiled miserably, "Fourth Uncle, I can only ask Luo Pei to take you to check it out. My niece can't do it." "Have a good rest. You have had this disease since you were a child, and you should avoid overthinking." Li Shubai said. Chuizhu knelt in front of the princess' bed, took out the key from the small drawer beside her bed and handed it to Luopei, without standing up, knelt down and helped Princess Tongchang wipe the sweat gently with a sweat towel. Huang Zixia followed Luopei out of the small pavilion, and asked, "Where did you lose Jiuluan Chai?" "It's in the treasure house." Luo Pei said, leading them to a locked wing next to it.There were two eunuchs watching in front of the room, and when they saw Luo Pei coming, they opened the door and let them in. The doors and windows in the room are tightly closed, and there is an uncomfortable stuffy heat in such a summer day due to airtightness.Inside, there are rows of shelves containing all kinds of boxes and cages, which are obviously the treasure house of the princess's personal belongings. Luo Pei walked to the shelf in the corner, knelt down and pulled out a box from the bottom shelf, and then opened the cabinet with the key that was just given to her. Inside was a small box one foot square, Luo Pei took it out and opened it. Inside is a purple velvet backing, but now there is nothing on it. "The princess had that unlucky dream a few days ago, so now she pays more attention to the preservation of Jiuluan Chai. After she showed Jiuluan Chai to Eunuch Yang last time, she put the Chai in this box with her own hands, and looked at it again. Then we put the box in the box, locked it and put the key in the small drawer beside her bed, and ordered us to put the box here." When Luo Pei talked about this, he was still angry and anxious, Said, "Obviously everything is very careful, this box was sent here by me, Chuizhu, Chuyu, and Qingbi. We think that the bottom corner should be the most appropriate, so we put it in the box. The box was put here. After we put the box away, several people withdrew. As a result, this morning, the princess said that she was uneasy, so she took out the key next to her pillow and gave it to us, so that we could take Jiuluan Chai Come here and give it to her. Chuizhu and Zhuiyu and I came here, and when Chuizhu opened the box, took out the box and looked at it, she suddenly screamed, it turned out that it was empty!" Huang Zixia and Li Shubai listened, each pondering. "The guards came over immediately. We and everyone in Qiyun Pavilion were taken to search, and the residences of all the people in the wing room, the pavilion, and the mansion were searched thoroughly, but Jiuluanchai couldn't find it anymore. It seems...it was...really taken back by Concubine Pan Shu..." Luo Pei said anxiously, "Isn't this the fault of a near-monster? The Jiuluan hairpin is not a small hairpin, it is a carved hairpin. The big hairpin of the nine phoenixes, who can take it away quietly through the box and the box?" Huang Zixia and Li Shubai saw the same idea in each other's eyes - that weird spell. That one was from Xuzhou, and it was also placed in two layers of precision locks. Could it be that in this world, there are really means to take objects from space and cast spells from objects? Luo Pei didn't pay attention to their exchanged eyes, and said in panic: "The princess fell ill immediately when she heard the news. The prince knows that the princess can't be frightened since she was a child, and she can't be overjoyed or sad, otherwise she will be heartbroken. It hurts. The princess was already feeling unwell when Wei Ximin died last time, and the son-in-law was shot and injured. She was frightened again, and last night...he heard the news again..." When Luo Pei said this, he seemed to wake up for the first time, remembering that this matter should not be publicized. "Last night? You mean Sun Laizi's death? We all know about it, so you don't need to hide it." Seeing her start to falter, Huang Zixia said to show that he understood the inside story. "Yes... I just heard the news that the grandson died... Besides, people on the street said that he died of that wronged soul of Di Cui," Luo Pei said anxiously, "I don't know the princess that day Why did she get sick as soon as she saw that Di Cui appear...She, who told me that she didn't know how to avoid it early, so that the princess got angry and said she was unlucky, let us beat her out, and she was never allowed to enter the mansion..." Huang Zixia asked: "Didn't she bump into the princess?" "No, we were all there at the time. She had a face-to-face meeting with the princess. As soon as the princess saw her, she fell ill for some reason. She leaned on Chuizhu's body and her heart ached." Luo Pei recalled the situation at that time, with a little sympathy. Said, "The princess only said to beat this girl out, but who knows that Wei Ximin made her like that..." Huang Zixia frowned slightly.Concubine Wei once said at the time that she was angry because she accidentally stepped on the corner of the princess' skirt... Which of these two is more credible? Luo Pei is still saying: "So in fact, the matter of that woman has nothing to do with the princess... But after all, the two people related to her died inexplicably, for no apparent reason, and they were said to be God's punishment, Some people also said that it was the woman who took her life... I think that the princess may be very upset because of this, and because of the loss of the Jiuluan hairpin, the princess will get angry and suffer from her old illness again. And this time it can be It's really sick, concubine Shu brought several imperial physicians in the palace to see her, but there is still no improvement, and now the servants of our princess mansion are all very anxious..." Huang Zixia listened, and asked again: "Have you investigated the people who entered and exited this treasure house yesterday?" "After Jiuluan Chai was put into the treasure house yesterday, no one came in or out." "Then, have the two eunuchs guarding the gate checked it?" "Yes, I searched the room at the first time, but found nothing. In fact, although they can guard and steal together, the princess has not slept well these days, so she sent extra people to wait outside the door. The eunuch at the door of the wing room is always in a Under the eyes of the guards, eunuchs, and maids, there is no chance to enter." Huang Zixia pondered for a while, and squatted down to study the box. Ordinary camphor wood boxes, painted red on the outside, with auspicious patterns drawn in black lacquer.Inside is the original wooden board. She knocked every corner of the box, and there is no abnormality. Then she took the box again, opened it, and examined it carefully.This is a box made of sandalwood, with exquisite carvings, depicting flowers and plants of the four seasons, one looks at it and thinks that the things inside should be extraordinary. She checked the inside and outside of the box carefully, but found nothing unusual. "Where is this key? Has the princess kept it with her all the time?" "Yes, it has always been placed in the drawer beside the princess's bed. The princess has been sleeping restlessly for the past few days, and we have been waiting outside the palace. There are several people guarding it in the first half of the night and the second half of the night. If anyone enters the princess's room, they must through ours." "Where's outside the window?" Huang Zixia asked again. "Elder-in-law, look, Qiyun Pavilion is on a high platform. The princess' bedroom, wing room, and the window of the treasure house are all several feet high. Who can climb up such a high platform and steal things through the window? " When Huang Zixia heard this, she walked to the window, opened the window and looked down. The high platform soars into the sky, and the entire Princess Mansion comes into view, and even a small half of Yongjiafang can be seen.Under the high platform, there are Albizia juliensis flowers like water waves, and the thick and faint pink spreads layer by layer, like water waves.The Qiyun Pavilion is like the Penglai fairy mountain in the pink water waves, the high pavilion is so beautiful. For such a high platform, the only place to enter is the outer steps, which turn three times against the platform body, zigzagging upwards. Li Shubai asked: "Tongchang has been weak since he was a child, why did he live in such a high place? It must be tiring to walk up." "The princess is afraid of heat and cold. It is windy in summer and sunny all day in winter. It is far away from the ground and has less humidity. The imperial doctor said that it is good for the princess. As for the steps, if the princess is tired, she can directly move the steps to the ground. It is also possible to carry the sedan chair up.” Huang Zixia nodded, signaling Luo Pei to pack up the things as they were, and the three of them left the wing. Li Shubai stood in the open space in front of the pavilion and looked down, while Huang Zixia went in to visit Princess Tongchang.Unexpectedly, when she went in, she was already resting on the bed. The gauze curtain hangs down heavily, and there are wishful knots woven with gold and silver strands hanging. On the four corners of the ivory mat, there are four Jiyue Feitian and Tian Yuxi towns. Princess Tongchang was lying in the resplendent and resplendent high pavilion, inside the flowery wreath, but she was just curled up, her face was pale, and her breath was faint. Chuizhu stood up and saluted Huang Zixia, took her to the outside, and said in a low voice: "The princess didn't sleep last night, and she is sleepy today. Before going to bed, she ordered that the father-in-law can investigate in the mansion, and must find Jiuluanchai... " Speaking of this, the eyelashes of the hanging beads are down, and the eyes are moist: "The princess is too caring. Even if the Jiuluan hairpin is a rare treasure, it is nothing more than a hairpin after all. But no matter how we persuade her, she always thinks This hairpin is closely related to her, and she insists that if Concubine Pan Shu takes this hairpin, she...she will also be taken away by Concubine Pan Shu..." Huang Zixia nodded, and said, "I see. You have to be careful these days, after all..." After all, she still remembered the painting she had seen at Zhang Xingying's home, except for the first two graffiti that had been fulfilled, there was only the third one left. If Princess Tongchang really becomes the last one to be pecked by Fei Luan, judging by the emperor's love for her, there will probably be a huge wave in Chang'an, and it will be difficult to calm down by then.
Chui Zhu turned around and went back to the cabinet to guard the princess. Huang Zixia walked up to Li Shubai, only to find that he was looking at a certain place in the Acacia forest. Before she could make a sound, Li Shubai had already turned around and walked down. She glanced hastily, only to see Yu Xuan standing under the Albizia Julibrissin, holding something in his hand, motionless.It's just that they were too far away, and she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, nor could she see what he was holding in his hand. Li Shubai had already walked down the steps, Huang Zixia forced herself to turn around, and followed him down the Qiyun Pavilion. They walked down the steps of the high platform, occasionally turning, she could see Li Shubai's profile, dignified and quiet. She didn't know who he was doing it for, and she was still hesitating, when Li Shubai suddenly said, "From this point of view, it is basically impossible to go into the treasury to steal, but also to open this box and take the things away intact." ?” Huang Zixia nodded and said, "There must be a way, but we haven't known it yet." "Maybe this method is also applicable to my talisman?" Li Shubai said, stopped and turned to look at her. She nodded silently, and said, "It's hard to say whether it's applicable, but I believe, whether it's the talisman of the prince, or the people who deserved to be burned to death by a thunderbolt from the sky, or people who died in a house like an iron barrel, every kind of weird thing is bound to happen." There is a way, we just don’t know it yet.” His gaze was fixed on her. On the steps, a long wind flowed past them.He looked at her for a long time before saying, "Your reaction to this case is quite strange." Huang Zixia looked at him in surprise, not knowing which aspect he was referring to. "For example, Princess Tongchang's Jiuluan Chai was stolen, but you seem to be more concerned about her safety—what makes you think that her hunch is right, that Jiuluan Chai will really affect her life?" Knowing that he was referring to this matter, Huang Zixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I am going to ask the prince for instructions on this matter, do you need to visit King E?" Li Shubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter with King E?" "After the wedding ceremony last time—the time Concubine Wei had an accident—we went to Zhang Xingying's house together because King Zhao wanted to eat Gulouzi, and we saw a painting on the hall in his house. When my father entered the palace to check the pulse of the first emperor, he was given a piece of imperial brush. When King E saw the painting, his expression was very strange." Li Shubai pondered for a while, and asked, "What does this painting have to do with this case?" "There are three unevenly distributed graffiti on this painting, which is said to be from the imperial pen. The first painting is a painting of a man who was struck by lightning and burned to death; the second painting is a painting of a man who died in an iron cage. people; and in the third picture, a giant bird swooped down from mid-air and pecked a person to death." Li Shubai frowned slightly: "So, based on the deaths of the first two people, do you think that Princess Tongchang might be... the third one?" "Yes. When I saw it at the time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, this painting may have a lot to do with this case." Li Shubai turned around and continued to walk down, asking: "Is that painting really from Yubi?" "I don't know. But I think the texture of the painting is the jute paper in the middle of Sichuan. The paper is flat and thick, and it looks like it was used in the palace. But I have little contact with things in the palace, so I can't be sure." "Jute paper in the middle of Shu was used for writing in the palace. For painting, the former emperor usually liked to use rice paper or white hemp paper. How could he use jute paper?" Huang Zixia said: "Besides, the painting is similar to graffiti, but it is actually just three ink blots. Who knows who made it? And it seems that the painter was just scribbling. The so-called three ways to die are all just the imagination of a few of us." Speculative." "You go about your business. I'll go to the son-in-law's side first, and let the people from Dali Temple pick up the painting by the way, and see if it's the royal brush of the emperor." Li Shubai said, turned around and was about to leave.I can hear the cries of orioles in my ears, dripping and mellow like pearls and jade. He raised his head slightly and looked towards the treetops.There are two orioles singing against each other on the branches, occasionally rubbing their wings.Clusters of Albizia julibrissin flowers on the branches fall like velvet during the jump, which is very charming. His gaze followed Hehuan's falling trajectory, and landed on her face again.The flower fell impartially on the side of her temples, the pink flowers set off the pink and white cheeks, and the color was so vivid that he couldn't help but stop his gaze. Seeing her raising her hand to catch the Albizia juliensis flower, with a preoccupied look, he asked, "What are you thinking?" Huang Zixia pondered: "These three cases I have come across so far are all closely related to the Princess Mansion. Now that the two are dead and the concubine is injured, but so far, there is basically no clue... Solve the case, if something happens to the princess, I am afraid the situation will be difficult to deal with..." Li Shubai said lightly: "I know. You don't have to be impatient, if you really can't, Cui Chunzhan will help you clean up the mess." Huang Zixia sympathized with Cui Shaoqing in her heart and nodded.
The dishes in Kui Palace are light and clean, very suitable for summer. Zhenliu Pavilion is a suitable place to live in summer.The doors and windows are open on all four sides, and the wind and lotus are shaking on three sides. Only one side is connected to the curved bridge and leads to the winding path of weeping willows on the bank. The water and wind are light blue, the dark fragrance is faint, and the room is cool. Sitting in front of the desk alone, Li Shubai looked at the empty seat opposite, obviously wanting to ignore it, but felt it was more and more an eyesore. He silently signaled the people next to him to put down everything, stood up and walked to the curved bridge.A branch of lotus in full bloom could not stand the scorching sun and hung in front of him. He smelled the cool fragrance of the lotus and couldn't help but stare at it for a long time. Jing Yu, who was standing behind him, heard him say three words in a low voice—— "the second time." Jing Yu thought about it puzzledly, but still didn't understand what it meant, someone rushed over from the shore and reported, "Princess Tongchang's mansion sent someone to invite Eunuch Yang Chonggu." Li Shubai turned his head and asked after hearing Yang Chonggu's words, "What's the matter?" "Reporting to the lord, it is said that something serious happened in the princess mansion. Princess Tongchang is suffering from sudden illness and palpitations. The imperial doctor is treating her, but she still ordered someone to invite Eunuch Yang Chonggu over first." Li Shubai frowned slightly, then walked out along the Quqiao, while instructing Jing Yu: "Prepare the car."
"Eunuch Yang, the carriage of the palace is waiting for you at the gate..." Huang Zixia looked up in surprise at the doorman Zuo Jinwuwei came in to inform, and asked in amazement, "Carriage?" "Yes. He said he wanted to take you to the Princess Mansion as soon as possible." Even a meal is uneasy, but the monthly salary is deducted so severely.Can such a boss be called a good boss? Huang Zixia forced a smile on his face, bid farewell to his reluctant colleagues with a glass of wine, and hurried to the outside of the yamen to have a look, and sure enough the carriage of King Kui's Mansion was parked there. She quickly knocked on the door of the car and said, "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, this servant deserves to die." There was silence inside, it seemed that King Kui was not going to talk to her anymore. She breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go around and sit on the shaft with Uncle Ayuan, but just as she moved, Li Shubai's cold voice came from inside: "You deserve to die." Huang Zixia smiled wryly, and stood there stiffly, not daring to move. "As the eunuch of the royal family, the Holy Majesty personally entrusted you with the case of the princess' mansion, and now there are ups and downs, and you just died, you are relaxed and happy, come here to drink and feast, and make a lot of money - don't you think you deserve to die? " Huang Zixia's scalp was numb, and she was obedient and dared not speak. He watched her through the car window.In the midsummer afternoon, the sunlight was strong, shining on her slightly hazy face, it was like a peach blossom in full bloom, an extremely moving color. Because of this beautiful color, Li Shubai felt a strange flame burning up from his heart quickly. By his side, she has always been quiet and indifferent, as if only the grievances and the case linger in her heart, even her breathing is undisturbed, and she has never violated the rules in every gesture.However, when she was not by his side, she lived such a lively and lively life, playing polo with a group of men behind his back, mixing with the men and pushing drinks... He didn't have to see it with his own eyes, he could already imagine her and The appearance of those people calling themselves brothers and laughing wantonly—— She completely forgot that she was a woman, and completely abandoned the quietness and indifference when she was by her side. And the moment when she was the brightest and brightest, would never be shown to him. The flame in his heart was burning Li Shubai's chest at this moment. At this moment, he forgot that he was the calm and self-restraining King Kui. He stood up and kicked the car door, stood on it and looked down at her, with a low and hoarse voice: "Come up!" Huang Zixia looked up at him, looking at his deep and clear silhouette in the backlight, with eagle-like sharp eyes, for some reason, an inexplicable fear surged in her heart, her breath stagnated unconsciously, and she dared not respond. "Everyone in Chang'an knows that Prince Kui has always been calm and his anger is invisible. How could he be angry with a little eunuch today?" A playful laugh came from behind, as if he didn't know the tense atmosphere between the two at this time, Wang Yun smiled, lightly waved the fan that Huang Zixia gave back to him last time, and bowed slightly to Li Shubai: "Today is the first day that Eunuch Yang's friends came here. Eunuch Yang values friendship the most, and many brothers here also admire Eunuch Yang very much, so I invited Eunuch Yang to come here. I believe the lord will not blame us for forcing Yang Father-in-law drank two more glasses of wine?" Seeing Wang Yun coming out in person, Li Shubai couldn't express his kindness face to face, so he just said: "I don't care about her personal affairs, but today there is a problem with the case she is in charge of, so I have to deal with it immediately, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Wang Yun smiled and said to Huang Zixia: "Hurry up, after this case is solved, a group of brothers from the Zuojinwuwei will invite the father-in-law to celebrate the victory." Li Shubai glanced at him, and motioned for Huang Zixia to sit in front with Uncle Ayuan. Huang Zixia breathed a sigh of relief, and after paying attention to Wang Yun, he hurried to the front, jumped into the car and sat beside Uncle Ayuan. Wang Yun smiled and watched her go.Zhou Ziqin hurried out behind him and asked, "Did Chonggu go to the princess mansion? Did something happen? Why didn't you take me there?" "Why are you going? It's not enough to follow Chonggu every day." He left a sentence, turned and walked back. Zhou Ziqin was baffled by his words: "Isn't it good to follow Chonggu? There must be suspicious cases and dead bodies following him. With such a good resource, who would I follow if I don't follow him?" Wang Yun looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Let's go."
Not even the first moment. Everyone in Princess Tongchang's mansion stood outside the high platform tremblingly to serve as servants, but they dared not go in. A group of people crowded there, not daring to make a sound. Li Shubai led Huang Zixia to the high platform step by step.When everyone saw him coming, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Chuizhu standing in front of the crowd, Huang Zixia's face was anxious and her eyes wandered, so she asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" Seeing her, Chui Zhu quickly lowered her head and said, "Princess's Jiuluanchai...is gone." gone.Princess Tongchang's dream came true, and the hairpin she valued the most was really gone. Huang Zixia frowned slightly, seeing that Li Shubai had already entered, she quickly nodded to Chui Zhu, and followed quickly. The Xiangfei bamboo curtain woven with gold threads has been put down, and the small pavilion looks a little dark.In the half-light, they saw Princess Tongchang leaning on the couch, and Concubine Guo Shu sitting beside her, waving a white round fan for her. Princess Tongchang was wearing a white gauze dress, and her long hair fell down on the couch like black silk. The black was extremely black, and the white was extremely white. The weak and sickly condition made her face not so thin and stubborn. , I feel that she is much more lovable than before. However, seeing the person sitting in front of her made Huang Zixia's chest throb slightly, and she suddenly understood in her heart why she was so attractive. Yu Xuan. The light in the hall was dim, but it couldn't hide his freshness.He sat in front of Princess Tongchang with an upright and relaxed posture.Impeccable demeanor, bright and clear face exudes a cold and faint brilliance like the last quarter moon. And his voice was gentle and clear, like broken jade gently hitting and echoing in ice water. He narrated the "Book of Rites" for Princess Tongchang: "In the past, Shun made a five-string qin and sang "South Wind" - the qin at that time There are Gongshangjiao Zhengyu five-tone, each string represents the monarch, subject, people, things, things, and later King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou each added a string to form a lyre..." His voice was soft and clear, as if it could drive away the scorching heat in such a summer day.Not only Princess Tongchang looked at him, but even Concubine Guo Shu put down her handkerchief fan and listened attentively. Li Shubai stood at the door of the small pavilion, examining Yuxuan.After a long time, he turned his eyes to Huang Zixia again.Seeing that Huang Zixia just stood with his head bowed silently, without any expression on his face, he looked away and coughed lightly. When Princess Tongchang saw him, she sat up and bowed her head to him on the couch: "Fourth Emperor Uncle." Yu Xuan stood up and stood aside, not saying a word. "You don't feel well, so there is no need to be polite." Li Shubai said to Princess Tongchang.Concubine Guo Shu supported Princess Tongchang's shoulders and said, "It's a great honor for King Kui to come to visit you personally today." Princess Tongchang looked at Huang Zixia and said, "Eunuch Yang, now my Jiuluan Chai is really lost! You... what do you think?" She was obviously still afraid of her dream, holding her heart and panting slightly, with deep fear in her eyes. Huang Zixia hurriedly asked: "I don't know how the Jiuluan hairpin was lost? Can the princess describe one or two details for me?" After all, Concubine Guo Shu is a concubine, and it is inconvenient to be in the same room with the prince, so she can only sigh and signal Yuxuan to withdraw.Yu Xuan quietly closed the book and followed Concubine Guo Shu out of the small pavilion. Sitting beside Li Shubai, he casually flipped through the "Zhou Li" kept on the small cabinet beside the bed, and casually listened to Princess Tongchang's story about the loss of Jiuluan Chai. Next to "Zhou Li", squatting a two-inch-tall little porcelain dog.Everything in the Princess Mansion is exquisite and elegant, but this little porcelain dog is quite different from these gold, jade and jewels. It is about half the size of a palm, with a naive shape. Although it is obviously a market item, it is very delicately made. He looked at the porcelain dog and heard Princess Tongchang say to Huang Zixia: "After I had that dream a few days ago, you said yesterday that you would pay attention to this case, so after you left, I took Jiuluan Chai Give it to the maids, let them keep it carefully..." Princess Tongchang was already palpitating and out of breath just after saying these few words. She leaned on the couch, her breathing was disordered, she pressed her chest and couldn't speak. Huang Zixia quickly patted her on the back and called out, "Come here!" The footsteps were hurried, and several close maids, including Chuizhu and Luopei, hurried in and hurriedly supported Princess Tongchang.Chuizhu took out a small bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill for Princess Tongchang to take, and kept helping her caress her back until her breathing became smoother before she heaved a sigh of relief. There were thin beads of sweat on Chuizhu's forehead, and she didn't bother to wipe it off, so she stood up quickly and went to the side to pour tea.Seeing Huang Zixia sizing up Chuizhu, Princess Tongchang pointed at her weakly, and said in a low voice, "Look, Wei Ximin is gone, and with so many people around me, only Chuizhu is the most powerful... It's a pity that I'm about to marry Now, who can be so considerate in the future." Chuizhu hurriedly knelt down and said, "As long as the princess has a word, Chuizhu would rather serve the princess till she grows old, and never leave!" "Go, I don't know how long I can live." She said, turning her head to look at Li Shubai and Huang Zixia, and smiled miserably, "Fourth Uncle, I can only ask Luo Pei to take you to check it out. My niece can't do it." "Have a good rest. You have had this disease since you were a child, and you should avoid overthinking." Li Shubai said. Chuizhu knelt in front of the princess' bed, took out the key from the small drawer beside her bed and handed it to Luopei, without standing up, knelt down and helped Princess Tongchang wipe the sweat gently with a sweat towel. Huang Zixia followed Luopei out of the small pavilion, and asked, "Where did you lose Jiuluan Chai?" "It's in the treasure house." Luo Pei said, leading them to a locked wing next to it.There were two eunuchs watching in front of the room, and when they saw Luo Pei coming, they opened the door and let them in. The doors and windows in the room are tightly closed, and there is an uncomfortable stuffy heat in such a summer day due to airtightness.Inside, there are rows of shelves containing all kinds of boxes and cages, which are obviously the treasure house of the princess's personal belongings. Luo Pei walked to the shelf in the corner, knelt down and pulled out a box from the bottom shelf, and then opened the cabinet with the key that was just given to her. Inside was a small box one foot square, Luo Pei took it out and opened it. Inside is a purple velvet backing, but now there is nothing on it. "The princess had that unlucky dream a few days ago, so now she pays more attention to the preservation of Jiuluan Chai. After she showed Jiuluan Chai to Eunuch Yang last time, she put the Chai in this box with her own hands, and looked at it again. Then we put the box in the box, locked it and put the key in the small drawer beside her bed, and ordered us to put the box here." When Luo Pei talked about this, he was still angry and anxious, Said, "Obviously everything is very careful, this box was sent here by me, Chuizhu, Chuyu, and Qingbi. We think that the bottom corner should be the most appropriate, so we put it in the box. The box was put here. After we put the box away, several people withdrew. As a result, this morning, the princess said that she was uneasy, so she took out the key next to her pillow and gave it to us, so that we could take Jiuluan Chai Come here and give it to her. Chuizhu and Zhuiyu and I came here, and when Chuizhu opened the box, took out the box and looked at it, she suddenly screamed, it turned out that it was empty!" Huang Zixia and Li Shubai listened, each pondering. "The guards came over immediately. We and everyone in Qiyun Pavilion were taken to search, and the residences of all the people in the wing room, the pavilion, and the mansion were searched thoroughly, but Jiuluanchai couldn't find it anymore. It seems...it was...really taken back by Concubine Pan Shu..." Luo Pei said anxiously, "Isn't this the fault of a near-monster? The Jiuluan hairpin is not a small hairpin, it is a carved hairpin. The big hairpin of the nine phoenixes, who can take it away quietly through the box and the box?" Huang Zixia and Li Shubai saw the same idea in each other's eyes - that weird spell. That one was from Xuzhou, and it was also placed in two layers of precision locks. Could it be that in this world, there are really means to take objects from space and cast spells from objects? Luo Pei didn't pay attention to their exchanged eyes, and said in panic: "The princess fell ill immediately when she heard the news. The prince knows that the princess can't be frightened since she was a child, and she can't be overjoyed or sad, otherwise she will be heartbroken. It hurts. The princess was already feeling unwell when Wei Ximin died last time, and the son-in-law was shot and injured. She was frightened again, and last night...he heard the news again..." When Luo Pei said this, he seemed to wake up for the first time, remembering that this matter should not be publicized. "Last night? You mean Sun Laizi's death? We all know about it, so you don't need to hide it." Seeing her start to falter, Huang Zixia said to show that he understood the inside story. "Yes... I just heard the news that the grandson died... Besides, people on the street said that he died of that wronged soul of Di Cui," Luo Pei said anxiously, "I don't know the princess that day Why did she get sick as soon as she saw that Di Cui appear...She, who told me that she didn't know how to avoid it early, so that the princess got angry and said she was unlucky, let us beat her out, and she was never allowed to enter the mansion..." Huang Zixia asked: "Didn't she bump into the princess?" "No, we were all there at the time. She had a face-to-face meeting with the princess. As soon as the princess saw her, she fell ill for some reason. She leaned on Chuizhu's body and her heart ached." Luo Pei recalled the situation at that time, with a little sympathy. Said, "The princess only said to beat this girl out, but who knows that Wei Ximin made her like that..." Huang Zixia frowned slightly.Concubine Wei once said at the time that she was angry because she accidentally stepped on the corner of the princess' skirt... Which of these two is more credible? Luo Pei is still saying: "So in fact, the matter of that woman has nothing to do with the princess... But after all, the two people related to her died inexplicably, for no apparent reason, and they were said to be God's punishment, Some people also said that it was the woman who took her life... I think that the princess may be very upset because of this, and because of the loss of the Jiuluan hairpin, the princess will get angry and suffer from her old illness again. And this time it can be It's really sick, concubine Shu brought several imperial physicians in the palace to see her, but there is still no improvement, and now the servants of our princess mansion are all very anxious..." Huang Zixia listened, and asked again: "Have you investigated the people who entered and exited this treasure house yesterday?" "After Jiuluan Chai was put into the treasure house yesterday, no one came in or out." "Then, have the two eunuchs guarding the gate checked it?" "Yes, I searched the room at the first time, but found nothing. In fact, although they can guard and steal together, the princess has not slept well these days, so she sent extra people to wait outside the door. The eunuch at the door of the wing room is always in a Under the eyes of the guards, eunuchs, and maids, there is no chance to enter." Huang Zixia pondered for a while, and squatted down to study the box. Ordinary camphor wood boxes, painted red on the outside, with auspicious patterns drawn in black lacquer.Inside is the original wooden board. She knocked every corner of the box, and there is no abnormality. Then she took the box again, opened it, and examined it carefully.This is a box made of sandalwood, with exquisite carvings, depicting flowers and plants of the four seasons, one looks at it and thinks that the things inside should be extraordinary. She checked the inside and outside of the box carefully, but found nothing unusual. "Where is this key? Has the princess kept it with her all the time?" "Yes, it has always been placed in the drawer beside the princess's bed. The princess has been sleeping restlessly for the past few days, and we have been waiting outside the palace. There are several people guarding it in the first half of the night and the second half of the night. If anyone enters the princess's room, they must through ours." "Where's outside the window?" Huang Zixia asked again. "Elder-in-law, look, Qiyun Pavilion is on a high platform. The princess' bedroom, wing room, and the window of the treasure house are all several feet high. Who can climb up such a high platform and steal things through the window? " When Huang Zixia heard this, she walked to the window, opened the window and looked down. The high platform soars into the sky, and the entire Princess Mansion comes into view, and even a small half of Yongjiafang can be seen.Under the high platform, there are Albizia juliensis flowers like water waves, and the thick and faint pink spreads layer by layer, like water waves.The Qiyun Pavilion is like the Penglai fairy mountain in the pink water waves, the high pavilion is so beautiful. For such a high platform, the only place to enter is the outer steps, which turn three times against the platform body, zigzagging upwards. Li Shubai asked: "Tongchang has been weak since he was a child, why did he live in such a high place? It must be tiring to walk up." "The princess is afraid of heat and cold. It is windy in summer and sunny all day in winter. It is far away from the ground and has less humidity. The imperial doctor said that it is good for the princess. As for the steps, if the princess is tired, she can directly move the steps to the ground. It is also possible to carry the sedan chair up.” Huang Zixia nodded, signaling Luo Pei to pack up the things as they were, and the three of them left the wing. Li Shubai stood in the open space in front of the pavilion and looked down, while Huang Zixia went in to visit Princess Tongchang.Unexpectedly, when she went in, she was already resting on the bed. The gauze curtain hangs down heavily, and there are wishful knots woven with gold and silver strands hanging. On the four corners of the ivory mat, there are four Jiyue Feitian and Tian Yuxi towns. Princess Tongchang was lying in the resplendent and resplendent high pavilion, inside the flowery wreath, but she was just curled up, her face was pale, and her breath was faint. Chuizhu stood up and saluted Huang Zixia, took her to the outside, and said in a low voice: "The princess didn't sleep last night, and she is sleepy today. Before going to bed, she ordered that the father-in-law can investigate in the mansion, and must find Jiuluanchai... " Speaking of this, the eyelashes of the hanging beads are down, and the eyes are moist: "The princess is too caring. Even if the Jiuluan hairpin is a rare treasure, it is nothing more than a hairpin after all. But no matter how we persuade her, she always thinks This hairpin is closely related to her, and she insists that if Concubine Pan Shu takes this hairpin, she...she will also be taken away by Concubine Pan Shu..." Huang Zixia nodded, and said, "I see. You have to be careful these days, after all..." After all, she still remembered the painting she had seen at Zhang Xingying's home, except for the first two graffiti that had been fulfilled, there was only the third one left. If Princess Tongchang really becomes the last one to be pecked by Fei Luan, judging by the emperor's love for her, there will probably be a huge wave in Chang'an, and it will be difficult to calm down by then.
Chui Zhu turned around and went back to the cabinet to guard the princess. Huang Zixia walked up to Li Shubai, only to find that he was looking at a certain place in the Acacia forest. Before she could make a sound, Li Shubai had already turned around and walked down. She glanced hastily, only to see Yu Xuan standing under the Albizia Julibrissin, holding something in his hand, motionless.It's just that they were too far away, and she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, nor could she see what he was holding in his hand. Li Shubai had already walked down the steps, Huang Zixia forced herself to turn around, and followed him down the Qiyun Pavilion. They walked down the steps of the high platform, occasionally turning, she could see Li Shubai's profile, dignified and quiet. She didn't know who he was doing it for, and she was still hesitating, when Li Shubai suddenly said, "From this point of view, it is basically impossible to go into the treasury to steal, but also to open this box and take the things away intact." ?” Huang Zixia nodded and said, "There must be a way, but we haven't known it yet." "Maybe this method is also applicable to my talisman?" Li Shubai said, stopped and turned to look at her. She nodded silently, and said, "It's hard to say whether it's applicable, but I believe, whether it's the talisman of the prince, or the people who deserved to be burned to death by a thunderbolt from the sky, or people who died in a house like an iron barrel, every kind of weird thing is bound to happen." There is a way, we just don’t know it yet.” His gaze was fixed on her. On the steps, a long wind flowed past them.He looked at her for a long time before saying, "Your reaction to this case is quite strange." Huang Zixia looked at him in surprise, not knowing which aspect he was referring to. "For example, Princess Tongchang's Jiuluan Chai was stolen, but you seem to be more concerned about her safety—what makes you think that her hunch is right, that Jiuluan Chai will really affect her life?" Knowing that he was referring to this matter, Huang Zixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I am going to ask the prince for instructions on this matter, do you need to visit King E?" Li Shubai raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter with King E?" "After the wedding ceremony last time—the time Concubine Wei had an accident—we went to Zhang Xingying's house together because King Zhao wanted to eat Gulouzi, and we saw a painting on the hall in his house. When my father entered the palace to check the pulse of the first emperor, he was given a piece of imperial brush. When King E saw the painting, his expression was very strange." Li Shubai pondered for a while, and asked, "What does this painting have to do with this case?" "There are three unevenly distributed graffiti on this painting, which is said to be from the imperial pen. The first painting is a painting of a man who was struck by lightning and burned to death; the second painting is a painting of a man who died in an iron cage. people; and in the third picture, a giant bird swooped down from mid-air and pecked a person to death." Li Shubai frowned slightly: "So, based on the deaths of the first two people, do you think that Princess Tongchang might be... the third one?" "Yes. When I saw it at the time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, this painting may have a lot to do with this case." Li Shubai turned around and continued to walk down, asking: "Is that painting really from Yubi?" "I don't know. But I think the texture of the painting is the jute paper in the middle of Sichuan. The paper is flat and thick, and it looks like it was used in the palace. But I have little contact with things in the palace, so I can't be sure." "Jute paper in the middle of Shu was used for writing in the palace. For painting, the former emperor usually liked to use rice paper or white hemp paper. How could he use jute paper?" Huang Zixia said: "Besides, the painting is similar to graffiti, but it is actually just three ink blots. Who knows who made it? And it seems that the painter was just scribbling. The so-called three ways to die are all just the imagination of a few of us." Speculative." "You go about your business. I'll go to the son-in-law's side first, and let the people from Dali Temple pick up the painting by the way, and see if it's the royal brush of the emperor." Li Shubai said, turned around and was about to leave.I can hear the cries of orioles in my ears, dripping and mellow like pearls and jade. He raised his head slightly and looked towards the treetops.There are two orioles singing against each other on the branches, occasionally rubbing their wings.Clusters of Albizia julibrissin flowers on the branches fall like velvet during the jump, which is very charming. His gaze followed Hehuan's falling trajectory, and landed on her face again.The flower fell impartially on the side of her temples, the pink flowers set off the pink and white cheeks, and the color was so vivid that he couldn't help but stop his gaze. Seeing her raising her hand to catch the Albizia juliensis flower, with a preoccupied look, he asked, "What are you thinking?" Huang Zixia pondered: "These three cases I have come across so far are all closely related to the Princess Mansion. Now that the two are dead and the concubine is injured, but so far, there is basically no clue... Solve the case, if something happens to the princess, I am afraid the situation will be difficult to deal with..." Li Shubai said lightly: "I know. You don't have to be impatient, if you really can't, Cui Chunzhan will help you clean up the mess." Huang Zixia sympathized with Cui Shaoqing in her heart and nodded.
