Gu Yunshu suddenly walked towards the hall, and the others followed him in.
After entering the palace, Gu Yunshu asked the palace attendants to move out the wooden box that originally contained the paintings. As the palace maid said, compared to other objects, this wooden box was extremely badly burned.
He opened the cover, and sure enough, the painting had been burned to ashes.
"Zhen'er, I remember you said that Li Jieyu spent a lot of money to buy paintings, but the paintings were not dismantled when they were sent to the palace."
"Yes, but this is just a guess. Maybe she is reluctant to take it apart..." Su Zhen stopped mid-sentence, "Do you suspect that what Li Jieyu bought was not a painting, but something else?"
"Yes, but we have checked it and there is nothing else in the box except the paintings."
Gu Yun said comfortably, "That's not necessarily the case."
Su Zhen and Yu Changqing looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. It seemed that they had found the right person.
Gu Yunshu asked someone to clean up the ashes in the box, put his fingers together, a green light flashed on his fingertips, and the green light condensed into lines to draw symbols, and the thin spiritual power in the air gathered here.
His movements were very skillful. As he muttered the incantation in a low voice, and finally shouted "Broken", a transparent barrier appeared at the bottom of the box. Then, with a crisp sound of "Kacha Kacha", the barrier was covered with cracks, and finally broke into pieces.
invisible.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they saw countless medicinal materials exposed at the bottom of the box, but there were no signs of burning. It was obvious that the barrier had protected them.
Su Zhen bent down, grabbed a handful from the box and smelled it, "There are many kinds of medicinal materials such as musk, safflower, Qudan flower, ganomao seed, and Husong. But the effects are roughly the same. Excessive consumption can cause women to be infertile.
.”
Everyone clucked their tongues, maybe Li Jieyu was crazy?
I heard that in the previous dynasty, some concubines were so crazy that they ate purple river chariots to seek the emperor's favor in order to maintain their beauty.
Yu Changqing found it unbelievable, "She used buying paintings as a cover, but actually she wanted to hide medicine?"
Su Zhen looked at the bracelet on Xiao Chuhong's hand and asked, "Your Royal Highness, I went to Kunhua Palace with Lord Yu earlier and learned that the imperial concubine likes jade very much. Compared with Mr. Dongli, who is a jade fanatic, she is absolutely
It's worse than that. But it's impossible for Li Jieyu to afford this bracelet. I wonder if you have seen Concubine Yu wearing it?"
Shangyu Chen took it and thought about it carefully, "This is blue water jade. I heard that Concubine Yu likes to beat and scold the maids. She should be reluctant to give such a good jade to them. But it also does not belong to the palace. It is a palace thing.
They are all marked.”
"Tsk, actually, if you think about it carefully, killing Yue Luo kills two birds with one stone. It not only covers up the truth about Li Jieyu's fake death, but also uses Yueluo's death to hide the fact that Li Jieyu purchased medicinal materials." Su Zhen suddenly smiled brightly at Xiao Chuhong.
, said, "General, don't you want to listen to music? Let's meet in front of Jiyue Square tonight at Chenshi."
Xiao Chuhong joked, "Didn't you cry about poverty earlier and claim you had no money?"
Su Zhen smiled playfully at him and blinked, "As for money, I really don't have any, but I do have brothers!"
...
It was a cold, windy night without a moon, and a simple-looking carriage stopped in front of Jiyue Square. Li Jiu pushed Xiao Chuhong out of the carriage.
Xiao Chuhong was dressed in casual clothes, but because of his outstanding temperament, many people still stopped to watch.
"Oh, you two are so handsome, come on, come on, please come in!" Several women with charming makeup in front of Jiyue Square called at the door.
His body stiffened and he frowned. Li Jiu stood in front of him to prevent others from getting close to his general.
A woman in a peach-colored gauze skirt happened to get off another carriage. Her facial features were exquisite, and she was wearing heavy makeup but not tacky. When she saw Xiao Chuhong, her eyes lit up, and she was about to step forward, but saw Li Jiu pressing his thumb against the hilt of his sword.
, the sword was unsheathed, and the moonlight reflected the cold light.
The woman couldn't help but trembled in fright, "Are you here to cause trouble? Someone, come quickly!"
"Brother Yue, I've told you a long time ago, don't always reject girls thousands of miles away, especially girls who are as beautiful as flowers. How can you be willing to push them away?"
A clear voice came from the back of the crowd. The crowd dispersed, only to see a young man with his hands folded across his chest and a wicked smile on his lips.
He wore an indigo brocade robe and a blue hairband. His face was fair and delicate, his eyebrows were like a knife, his lips were red and his teeth were white, but his words and deeds were frivolous and unrestrained, just like a young man who liked to hang out in the streets and alleys.
The young man walked out of the crowd, lifted the woman's chin with his long and graceful fingers, and winked at her ambiguously, "Girl, my brother has come to Jiyuefang for the first time. Please lead the way for my two brothers. The night is still very long, let's go in.
...Talk slowly.”
As he spoke, he skillfully held the woman's slender waist, lowered his head and sniffed in her ear, as if he was smelling her body fragrance. He stuffed a brocade bag into her hand, and played with the belt around her waist with his other hand.
Xiao Chuhong looked at this unfamiliar face. After being surprised, he distinguished it carefully and a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
The woman weighed it twice and immediately smiled, "You guys are so generous. Come and invite me inside. I will definitely entertain you well."
Seeing the young man entering Jiyuefang surrounded by those women, Li Jiu lowered his head hesitantly, "Master, that person just now...?"
"Follow me."
"yes."
Jiyue Square was illuminated by night pearls as if it were daytime, with people singing and dancing, drinking and drinking.
In the lobby, cigarette smoke curled up, and the music reached my ears. The girls in hazy gauze pleated skirts sang and smiled, some were charming, some were delicate and delicate. The guests laughed heartily from time to time, and they were obviously very happy.
The peach-clothed woman led them to the second floor. Su Zhen listened carefully to the sounds in each room, and stopped after a while, "This is the one. It looks like the location is pretty good."
The woman asked, "Sir, there are already people in this room. The slave family has arranged a quiet and elegant room for you. They will be here soon."
The wooden door next to him was suddenly opened, and Tang Yinchen walked out of it, with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of passion under his sword-shaped brows. Tonight, he was wearing a cobalt blue wide-sleeved robe, his clothes were half open, and there was a woman leaning against his wheat-colored chest, his eyes
It contains spring water and is charming to the bones.
Su Zhen didn't expect to see this scene. Tang Yinchen kissed the woman's lips gently, making her smile sweetly, "Master, don't make trouble, there are so many people!"
"Oh, you weren't so shy just now." He put his hand on the woman's waist and rubbed it twice, then looked up at Su Zhen and the others, surprised and confused, "Huh? Who are you!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems we are disturbing Mr. Tang's romantic life."
"Hazel? It's really you!"
Tang Yinchen let go of the woman in his arms and wanted to raise his hand to pinch Su Zhen's cheek to test whether it was true or not, but she slapped her away. The girls in Jiyuefang were all prostitutes rather than prostitutes. Tang Yinchen didn't know how he could make people throw themselves into his arms.
Is it because of her great charm, or because she spent a lot of money on it.
"Sir, it turns out that you and Mr. Tang are acquainted!" said the peach-clothed woman.
Tang Yinchen smiled and said, "We are really destined, Hazel, why don't you come in and have a drink together?"
"OK."
Su Zhen did not refuse, the two of them smiled tacitly, and a group of people entered the room. This chapter has been completed!
