"Bloodshot?" Wu Qi quickly straightened up and asked, "Would the princess lend me the jade peach to my subordinate for a look?"
Princess Shunqing nodded and handed over the jadeite longevity peach. Wu Qi examined it carefully for a moment before hesitatingly said, "This jadeite and carving are not ordinary, but it is still far away from the Jing'an layman. I heard that
, stuff jade or jade into the mouth of the dead person, and bury them together. If you take it out after a while, it will be stained with blood. But the longevity peach is so big, it must not fit in a person's mouth, and,
There seems to be some evil in the blood. I heard in Xiaguan that if jade or jade is stuffed into the mouth of an animal, the animal is forced to swallow its breath, and the animal body is buried, the animal will be choked to death with resentment, and the jade on the jade will appear
Only the blood streaks will carry a bit of evil energy."
Princess Shunqing frowned, a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes, "It's just unlucky anyway. On such a day, something like this happened..."
Hearing this, Yun Chang said softly, "Princess, I wonder who has touched this emerald longevity peach just now? When Chang'er presented it to the princess just now, there was clearly no blood streak in the longevity peach. If it is according to what Scholar Wu said,
It is said that it takes a long time to form blood streaks. However, in just a moment, blood streaks appeared in the jade. Chang'er suspected that it was man-made. Maybe the jade peach has been replaced by someone.
Woolen cloth."
Wang Jinhuan also frowned when he heard the words, and pulled the old princess and said, "Princess, I think someone seems to be targeting Princess Yunshang. This jade was given by Princess Yunshang. If anything goes wrong, you will definitely
I will blame the princess, but I don’t know who is so bold as to dare to frame the princess. Moreover, doesn’t this clearly curse you, the princess?”
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. Wang Jinhuan was not a vegetarian. If he just exchanged birthday gifts, it would be considered a crime of theft at most, and the crime would not lead to death. But if theft was combined with framing the princess,
Cursing the princess, such a crime would probably lead to death.
Yun Shang naturally knew that this situation was set up by the queen for herself. When the queen gave him the jade peach, he became alert. Yun Shang leaned back, his face calm, as if what was happening was happening.
, has nothing to do with him at all, "Chang'er believes that the prince and princess will definitely find out the truth of the matter and return Chang'er's innocence."
King Shunqing's eyes fell on Yun Shang. Seeing her calm expression, he secretly admired her in his heart, then stood up and said, "This is a big deal, but there are so many guests now that it is not easy to investigate.
In this case, please invite Prince Jing and Princess to the living room to wait for a while. I will gather all the people who have come into contact with Jade Shoudao into the living room, and then I will find reasons for all the guests to stay in the palace."
Prince Jing nodded, "That's fine." After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the living room.
Yun Shang smiled slightly and followed King Jing's footsteps.
"King Shunqing is the person I respect most in the court. Sometimes, I can still hear a few words he says." King Jing said softly, as if mumbling to himself, but Yun Shang's hearing has deteriorated since she started practicing martial arts.
Excellent, you can hear it clearly.
"So, you are saying that the other party actually wants me to be bored by King Shunqing and Princess Shunqing and make them oppose my marriage to you?" After hearing this, Yun Shang secretly thought in her heart, if that's all, then she might as well not resist.
Just let King Shunqing and Princess Shunqing hate me.
Just by listening to the tone, Prince Jing understood what Yun Shang was thinking. He curled up his lips and said with a smile, "If only it were that simple. They clearly want your life." As he said that, Prince Jing
He leaned into Yun Shang's ear and whispered, "Don't think I didn't see it. Just now when everyone's eyes fell on the stage, you put the antidote pills in the tea of the princess and the prince."
Yun Shang took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, you have a good eye."
"Come here, come here, Master Wu is bleeding from his seven orifices..." There was a noise outside, Yun Shang listened attentively, smiled slightly, raised her head and said to Prince Jing, "I don't have a good temper.
, I don’t really like to do things I don’t like, uncle Huang, what do you think?”
Prince Jing put his arm around Yun Shang's shoulders and said, "Then I'll make you like her. You will definitely like me, my princess."
Yun Shang frowned, but before she could speak, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. Yun Shang turned her head and saw Qin Yin running towards her, "Princess, Bachelor Wu is dead. Prince Shunqing invites the princess and the prince to come together."
Go to the front yard banquet area.”
When Yun Shang and Prince Jing passed by together, a doctor was already squatting on the ground examining Wu Qi's body. Next to Wu Qi was a woman squatting, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were raining down.
The doctor stood up with a sullen face and saluted King Shunqing, "Your Majesty, Academician Wu has been poisoned."
"Poisoned?" King Shunqing frowned, pondered for a moment, and ordered people to bring over all the things Wu Qi had touched and let the doctor examine them. The doctor examined them carefully for a long time, but shook his head, "None of these things are there.
poison."
The woman quickly stopped crying, stood up with sobs, and said, "Your Majesty, I was fine just now, but it was just after I came back from the Prince's place that I suddenly became like this. I didn't know that I was at the Prince's side."
What did you touch?"
King Shunqing frowned, "I have only touched the jade peach."
King Shunqing asked someone to bring over the sandalwood box containing the jade longevity peaches. The doctor opened it and looked at it, then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this longevity peach is poisonous."
Before King Shunqing could speak, the woman had already begun to cry, "Princess Huiguo, my master has no enmity with you, why do you want to harm my master?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Yun Shang. Yun Shang shrank slightly and said softly, "This jade longevity peach was given by the Queen, Princess Tuoben. Moreover, there were so many people who had touched the longevity peach, why was it only Wu Xueshi?"
What happened? When Master Wu came to see something just now, it was the princess who took the longevity peach out of the box and handed it to Master Wu. The princess was fine too. Are you saying that it was the princess who poisoned Mr. Wu?
?”
Prince Jing frowned and stood in front of Yun Shang without leaving a trace, "Mrs. Wu, you can eat this food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."
Mrs. Wu trembled when she saw Prince Jing's cold eyes, and she cried out again after a while, "Master, you died so unjustly..."
"Your Majesty, a maid in the backyard died, and she was bleeding from all her orifices." A middle-aged man hurriedly ran to the side. He seemed to be the housekeeper.
When King Shunqing heard this, he frowned and said, "Take the doctor to check."
The housekeeper quickly led the doctor towards the backyard.
Everyone around started whispering, and King Shunqing said in a deep voice, "Something happened in the palace today, and the murderer has not been found yet, so please stay in the palace for the time being to find the murderer."
Wu Qi's body was placed in the backyard. Soon, news came that the poison in the maid was exactly the same as the poison Wu Qi had. But the maid had always stayed in the backyard and had never been to other places.
place, let alone touched the jade peach.
At a birthday party, two people died one after another. Suddenly, the joyful atmosphere disappeared and people were panicked.
The male and female guests attending the birthday banquet rested in two gardens separately. Yun Shang, Prince Jing, Wang Jinhuan, and Wu Qi's wife were invited to the old princess's attic.
Everyone drank tea quietly, and they could only hear Mrs. Wu sobbing.
"Your Majesty, did you find this on both Master Wu and the maid?" The butler hurried over to report. On the plate he was carrying were two sachets embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The patterns were exactly the same, except that one was
One is blue and one is pink.
King Shunqing stretched out his hand to take it, but the steward quickly said, "My lord, be careful, this sachet is poisonous."
When King Shunqing heard this, he retracted his hand, with a somewhat probing look in his eyes. The butler quickly said, "I just showed it to the doctor. The poison on this sachet is the same as the poison in Master Wu and the maid.
"Oh?" It was Prince Jing who suddenly spoke. Prince Jing stood up, stepped forward, and reached out to pick up the two sachets. Prince Shunqing quickly called out, "Qingyan."
Prince Jing smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Wang, don't be afraid. My nephew has poison beads on his body. Ordinary poisons will not do anything to my nephew." Prince Jing opened the two sachets and saw that they both contained a pinch of poison.
hair, and a piece of parchment.
When everyone stepped forward to take a look, they saw a very beautiful handwriting on the parchment paper in the blue sachet, which read, "Red beans grow in the south. When spring comes, a few branches will grow. I hope you will pick more. This thing is the most acacia. Like ink."
." On another piece of parchment, there were vigorous and powerful words, which read, "If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night."
Prince Jing raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wu, who had a look of astonishment on his side, "Xueshi Wu's calligraphy is Qian'an. This must be his handwriting."
King Shunqing also saw some clues, "The name of the dead maid is Ru Mo?"
The housekeeper nodded quickly and said, "Go back to your lord, the name of the dead maid is not Rumo, but Siqi."
"Your Majesty, I must have been framed. This must be the murderer's plan..." Mrs. Wu panicked for a moment and kept saying, but her eyes were full of suspicion.
"Go and find out the origin of this Siqi..." King Shunqing said sharply.
The housekeeper quickly retreated, but Mrs. Wu on the side seemed unable to bear the blow just now, and kept muttering to herself, "How could it be possible, no, the master would not do that, no way..."
After a while, the housekeeper sent all the information about Ru Mo, "Ru Mo, sixteen years old, from the imperial city. His biological mother's name is Ru Mo. She used to be a maid serving the old lady of the Wu Mansion. Seventeen years ago, she was...
The old lady left home and lived in a small courtyard in the west of the city."
Mrs. Wu was shocked and sat down on the chair, her face pale and her eyes full of disbelief.
Everyone here is very clear about the disputes in the deep palace backyard. Needless to say, they also know that Siqi is most likely the illegitimate daughter of Wu Qi and Na Rumo.
Princess Shunqing glanced at Mrs. Wu, with some sympathy in her eyes, and said lightly, "Mrs. Wu seems to be a little unwell, why not go to the guest room to rest for a while. I will send someone to inform you when there is news.
."
Mrs. Wu's eyes were red, she nodded, stood up and retreated behind the maid.
Princess Shunqing sighed, "Oh, it's really not peaceful. Chang'er and Qingyan, please come with me for a walk." After saying that, she stood up.
Hearing this, Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, stood up, walked to Princess Shunqing, helped her and walked out.
There is a lake next to it. The garden where Princess Shunqing lives faces the lake on one side, and a bridge was built to lead to the lake center pavilion. The princess took Yun Shang and Prince Jing to the lake center pavilion and sat down in the pavilion. Yun Shang
I looked around and sighed to myself, this is really a good place. No matter what I say, I don't have to worry about being listened to.
"Sit down." Princess Shunqing sat down and patted Yun Shang, who also sat down.
Princess Shunqing stared at Yun Chang for a long time, then smiled and said, "Qing Yan is a lucky person. Chang'er is so beautiful. In two years, I'm afraid no one will be able to match her. By the way, I
I heard that you stayed at Ningguo Temple for many years."
Yun Shang nodded, "I was not in good health when I was a child. Fortunately, Abbot Wu Na entered the palace and saved my life. However, because I was injured, Abbot Wu Na took me to Ningguo Temple to rest."
Princess Shunqing had been paying attention to Yun Shang's expression. Seeing her calm expression, she added, "I have heard about what happened that year. That year you prayed at Ningguo Temple and asked for rain for the people, and then you fell ill.
But, I heard that you are not sick, but poisoned?"
Yun Shang seemed to be shaken all over, and her skirt was wrinkled by her hands. After a long while, she lowered her head and lowered her voice and said, "How could it be? Chang'er didn't know how such a rumor could spread. The Queen Mother and
The imperial sister is very kind to Chang'er, how could Chang'er be poisoned?"
Princess Shunqing is a human spirit, so she can naturally tell that Yun Shang is not telling the truth. Moreover, she also specifically points out that the Queen and Princess Hua Jing are very good to her, and seems to deliberately cover up for them. In this way, it is poisonous.
It's true, and the most likely ones who poisoned her were the Queen and Princess Hua Jing. I'm afraid Yun Shang was tortured so hard that she didn't even dare to tell the truth.
Princess Shunqing smiled coldly, with a bit of venom in her eyes, "When that woman was still young, I saw that she was not a good person. She tried every dirty trick to get into the palace, but she turned out to be a vicious person.
."
Prince Jing's eyes slid over Yun Shang's face, and he naturally knew that she was acting. However, seven years ago, she was only eight years old. An eight-year-old child is just a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board, to be slaughtered by others. Could it be that,
She was really wronged at that time, so she hated Hua Jing and the Queen so much and wanted to kill them.
After Princess Shunqing said something with unclear meaning, she put on a gentle smile and continued to ask, "Did the Queen ask you to send me the jade longevity peach?"
Yun Shang nodded, lowered his head and said, "Shang'er just returned to the palace not long ago. In fact, I didn't know whether it was the princess's birthday today, or the queen mother specifically told me to come to celebrate the princess's birthday. The queen mother said, I
Sooner or later, we have to get married, so it is better to get in touch with each other earlier, so that you won't feel uncomfortable in the future. The queen mother is very good to Chang'er, and she even made a special trip to tell Chang'er about the princess's preferences. Chang'er doesn't have many examples, and she can't give any examples.
If any precious gift comes, the queen mother prepared this jade longevity peach for Chang'er."
"Oh?" Princess Shunqing raised her lips slightly, "Queen, tell me, what do I like?"
"The mother-in-law said that the princess likes more elegant colors, especially cyan and blue, likes to drink Dahongpao, and her favorite dish is anchovy fins. Shang'er originally wanted to wear a cyan dress, but the clothes she made before were all
They are a bit more colorful, but I couldn't find any cyan ones..." Yun Shang looked at Princess Shunqing with some sincerity in her eyes and said, "Won't you mind, Princess?"
Princess Shunqing's eyes flashed with a cold look and she shook her head, "How could that be? Your clothes are quite beautiful."
Yun Shang lowered her head, seeming a little shy. Suddenly, Prince Jing's voice came from beside her, "Hey, that maid, why does she look familiar?"
Yun Shang raised her head, looked towards Prince Jing, and saw a maid in green clothes walking hurriedly forward on the promenade by the lake. A smile flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, but her face was full of expressions.
Confused, "Hey, isn't that Aunt Xiuxin who is by the Queen Mother's side? Why is she here? The Queen Mother is not here either. Could it be that she is here to find me?"
Princess Shunqing clapped her hands, and a secret guard suddenly climbed down from the top of the pavilion and knelt in front of the princess. Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, as if she was a little surprised. It took a long time to come back to her senses, with a curious look on her face.
He looked at the secret guard dressed in black.
Princess Shunqing pointed to the palace maid in green on the corridor and said, "Follow her and see where she goes."
The secret guard responded and disappeared in an instant.
Prince Jing lowered his head to pick up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He saw that Yun Shang's ears were red from the cold. He was a little surprised. Yun Shang's martial arts skills were not bad. Why did people often think that she didn't know any kung fu? She almost didn't know any.
There was no inner force surging in her body at all. Prince Jing took off his cloak and put it on Yun Shang, "It seems that your cloak was placed in the room before? It's windy here, so you should put it on first."
Yun Shang lowered her head and did not refuse. Princess Shunqing laughed and said, "It's great to be young."
After sitting for a while, the secret guard came back again, "Princess, the maid went to the princess's garden."
"Haha." Princess Shunqing smiled, with a fierce look in her eyes, stood up and said, "Then let's go to the princess's place and have a look."
Yun Shang followed Princess Shunqing to a garden. As soon as she reached the gate of the garden, she saw King Shunqing walking over. King Shunqing nodded and said, "Go in from the back, don't try to scare the snake."
Yun Shang pretended to be ignorant and was hugged by Prince Jing. She flew over the wall. As soon as she approached the house, she heard voices coming from inside, "Didn't you say it's foolproof? Why are those two old guys?
Are you still alive now?"
Yun Shang felt that the people around her were faintly angry, and another voice rang out. Yun Shang's eyes widened, but Princess Shunqing covered her mouth, "I don't know what happened, that Tan Tan
It turns out that there is a mechanism inside the fragrant wood box. As long as the emerald longevity peach is moved, poisonous powder will be ejected. But the old princess clearly took out the longevity peach, so how can it be completely fine?" (To be continued)
