Chapter 174 The smile on the face, the tears in the heart
Thinking of the fragrance of medicine in the east wing, the smile on Xiao Yan's face gradually dissipated.
"Brother Huan, have you ever heard of the name Ji Lingyu?"
"Since he has the surname Ji, this person should probably be from the Jinguo royal family. But I have very limited knowledge of them... Where did you hear about this person?"
Xiao Ying then explained in detail what she saw and heard in the east wing last night.
"...After seeing the portrait, I was a little suspicious that Mr. Li had a connection with Jin Guo.
But just now, after listening to the explanation of Chunyu City Lord and knowing the origin of the Li family, this suspicion seemed to have lost its meaning."
"Mr. Li is only in her twenties and was still a child when he left Jinguo. It is indeed unlikely that he has anything to do with the Jinguo royal family.
But he stored a lot of poison in the secret room and had a portrait of the woman hanging, could it be..."
"The paper of the portrait turned yellow, and it was painted for at least ten or twenty years. I think Mr. Li treated Ji Lingyu like a teacher.
I think she is also a master of poison use, and it is unknown if she has guided Mr. Li."
Huan Yu nodded: "I found a secret wall on the antique shelf in Li Gongzi's study, which contained a collection of poems from Jinguo."
Xiao Feng frowned: "Young Master Li is from Jinguo. He likes art and elegance on weekdays. It is not surprising that he likes to read Jinguo's poems.
But why did he hide his collection of poems in a secret space?”
Huan Yu said: "It was about nine years ago that I saw the same collection of poems at my grandfather's house.
My uncle said that the collection of poems was found from a spy from Jinguo.
According to the spy, the Jin people used code words to convey messages, and the poetry collection was used to crack code words."
Xiao Yan pondered for a long time.
Although Yiyang County is adjacent to Jinguo, she has never paid attention to this neighbor carefully.
The only impression is that this country has always valued culture over military affairs. In recent years, the princes have been fighting endlessly, and the situation is a bit unstable.
I didn't expect that there were so many weird things in Jinguo.
And these weirdnesses seem to originate from one person.
"Although the method of using poetry collections to crack code words is not sophisticated, it is very practical.
Brother Huan, do you think this matter will be related to the Princess Xiangdong again?"
Huan Yu said: "It is very likely that something abnormal will lead to a demon. After all, that woman is so strange."
"When I talked about strangeness, I remembered another person."
"who?"
"The Empress Chu of Emperor Qingde."
"She is proficient in medical skills and even good at detoxification. Xiaojiu finds it a bit incredible?"
Xiao Yu said: "Empress Chu can be favored by Emperor Qingde, and it must be unique. I just can't understand why there are so many women who are good at medical skills in the Jin Kingdom royal family.
One Queen Chu is not enough, and there is also Ji Lingyu.
Based on the portrait, it is inferred that if Ji Lingyu was still alive, she would be around fifty years old.
And the current Emperor Jin Kingdom is the cousin of Emperor Qingde.
He was over 60 years old, which means that Emperor Qingde and Empress Chu were about fifty years old.
Queen Chu and Ji Lingyu are about the same age and are proficient in medical skills. Will there be any special relationship between them?"
Huan Yu couldn't help laughing: "No wonder I felt like you were worried in Qishui Pavilion just now, but I didn't expect you to figure out so many things.
Since you are so curious, why don’t you ask the Lord Chunyu?”
Xiao Yan pouted and said, "He obviously doesn't believe us, why should I open that mouth?
Then I will make him feel embarrassed and I will be so embarrassed."
Huan Yu smiled and said, "How can a person in his position trust others easily?
What's more, we just met him, and it's not easy for him to tell us so much privacy."
Xiao Ying disagreed and said, "Since he doesn't believe in us, why should he cooperate with us?"
Let's not talk about anything else, his daughter's whereabouts are very suspicious.
It is a miracle for a woman who is in tears to persevere in giving birth to her child.
Even if Miss Chunyu can grow up, she will not be a healthy girl.
But the Lord Chunyu told us that his daughter has a similar temperament to mine, and she has liked to wear men's clothing since she was a child.
She also said that she would always come up with various ways to sneak out and play.
Don't you think these words are inconsistent?"
What a joke, she has done so much like this.
In addition to a smart head, action is equally important.
How could Miss Chunyu's sick body be hidden from the eyes and ears of so many people in the City Lord's Mansion?
Huan Yu said: "Your words are not unreasonable, but don't forget that we are all outsiders.
The Lord Chunyu loved his daughter so much, maybe he used a trick to deliberately let her go out for fun?
You see, he did not act in a hurry when he learned the whereabouts of the young master. He even acted as if nothing had happened in front of us, chatting and laughing with you and me.
Can you say that he is a cold-blooded and numb father who doesn’t care about his son’s life and death?
It's just a smile on your face, but tears are shedding in your heart."
Xiao Yan pursed his lips.
"Anyway, I am the one who annoyed the most in my life. If I say something, I will turn eighteen turns, and no one can believe it..."
Huan Yu looked at her helplessly.
Xiaojiu started to speak out again.
He clearly felt very sympathetic to City Lord Chunyu, but he was determined not to forgive others.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me with such eyes, I'm just complaining.
There are a few people in this world who live happily, and who would not encounter some frustrating things?
Ruoshuicheng seems to be uncontrolled by the Three Kingdoms, but in fact he is seeking to survive in the cracks.
The Lord Chunyu City is carrying nearly 400,000 lives and futures, so he naturally cannot do whatever he wants."
Huan Yu's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled.
"Hey!" Xiao Yan patted him: "Have you ever heard of how to relieve Tianmu's tears?"
"Tianmu tears have been lost for so many years, how can I know the solution?"
Xiao Gui sighed: "I'm too impatient. If there is really an antidote to Tianmuxue, how could the Lord Chunyu City not know?
Even he can't save his wife, let alone the two of us."
Huan Yu said: "We all rely on guesses about Miss Chunyu's situation. Since she can live to the age of fifteen, it means that the city lord is not helpless.
What we need to think about now is how to rescue those boys and talk about other things later.”
Xiao Ying said: "I'm just talking casually. Princess Xiangdong's fief is in Nanjun. If you walk by water, you can arrive in two days.
I don’t know how many people the City Lord Chunyu will send to us..."
She was really not used to taking other people's soldiers to carry out missions.
Huan Yu said: "Don't worry, we are saving other people's children, but Chunyu City mainly saves his own son, so he will be extra cautious.
Besides, we are traveling as a Ruoshuicheng people this time, and we don’t have so many concerns.”
Xiao Yan nodded.
If she hadn't been concerned about this, she would have gone back to Yiyang County to dispatch troops.
