Chapter 31 Finding

【Ancheng·Qin Mansion】

After Li Guihe appeased Mrs. Qin, he hurried out and saw Chu Yuechen squatting on the ground.

"How about it?"

"The clothes have been repackaged."

Chu Yuechen took out an ordinary and cheap purple silk from the sack, with a little green juice on it.

"Did it get stolen just now?" Li Guihe asked.

"No, it should have been before that."

Chu Yuechen unfolded the sack. It was a "thick" sack given by the old woman. I didn't look carefully just now, but there were some patches inside. Among them, there were two largest patches, one was scratched, and the other seemed to be sewn on purpose It is loose, and there is still some space inside, as if the purple silk is sewn here, and it can pop out with a slight pull.

"The clothes must have been taken away by those children just now." Li Guihe said with a pursed mouth, feeling a little guilty.

"Go back and have a look over there first." Chu Yuechen stood up and walked forward.

After saying that, the two of them went out. When they arrived at the stall, they didn't expect that all the women, widows and widows here disappeared, leaving only sporadic melon seeds scattered on the ground.

"Don't worry, let's figure out what's going on first." Chu Yuechen didn't give up.

"The most important clue is that purple dress. Now that it's lost, I'm afraid Qin Huaizhen won't be rescued..." Li Guihe's eyes dimmed.

Chu Yuechen didn't turn around, but stood up and said: "I can use the token as an excuse to go in to express my condolences. You follow me in to investigate clearly, and then make a long-term plan." Chu Yuechen has completely calmed down now, and wants to solve this matter Well, the king of Chu didn't come up with this dress to save Qin Huaizhen, he must have other plans.

Li Guihe also put away his frustration, and set off for Lu Mansion with Chu Yuechen.

When we arrived at Lu Mansion, two days had passed since Mrs. Lu's death, the white silk beside the plaque had already been taken off, the waiter took a ladder and replaced it with red cloth, and when he saw Chu Yuechen approaching, he hurriedly took off the red cloth, Inadvertently almost fell from the ladder.

The other waiter rushed to the back room when he saw it, Chu Yuechen didn't lament the cruelty of the world as usual, he just wanted to find out the situation as soon as possible, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

When they walked to the yard, it was cleaned up, there was no sign of red firecrackers, and there was a little more sobbing around, as if the sadness was like a basin of water, pouring from top to bottom, soaking every corner of Lu's mansion.

Mrs. Lu was sitting in the hall, the room was full of white funeral cloths, only the swaddling clothes in Mrs. Lu's hands were bright red.

After the salute, Mrs. Lu's first words were: "Prince, don't be surprised, this child is just born, so be happy, otherwise life will be difficult in the future, so as not to be like my good daughter-in-law again..." Lu The old lady choked up.

"Old lady, don't worry about it. We came here this time to understand the cause of Mrs. Lu's death." Chu Yuechen saw that the old lady didn't have any intention of sadness, so he subtracted the clichés and got straight to the point.

"Prince, will you decide for us? It's great! We also hope to punish the murderer as soon as possible..." the old lady said excitedly.

"It's natural, but can you provide some clues?" Chu Yuechen asked.

"I... I don't know the specific reason, you should ask the people over there." Old lady Lu's eyes were red, looking at the grandson in her arms.

"My grandson was also rescued by that woman, who was there to deliver my daughter-in-law."

"But madam has fallen from the stone building, how could..." Li Guihe couldn't help interjecting.

"Thanks to that steady woman, she is the fairy who came down to save my little grandson..." Mrs. Lu smiled and touched the infant child with her hand.

"Where is she?" Chu Yuechen asked.

"She's in the next room, you can go and look for her." Mrs. Lu looked at her grandson with a smile, wrinkled on her face, but it was short, and she didn't seem to smile often.

After thanking Chu Yuechen, he went to the wing room, and he was shocked when he entered the room. The room is full of gold and jade bracelets, and everything is extravagant. Mrs. Wen is sitting in it and holding one of them to admire.

"Cough..." Chu Yuechen coughed lightly twice.

"Who are you?" Wen Po showed displeasure.

Li Guihe picked up Chu Yuechen's waist card, placed it in front of Mrs. Wen, looked down at her and said, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is here to investigate your deception."

Wen Po took the waist card, saw the tou jade inlaid on it, and almost missed it with a trembling hand, so she quickly presented it with both hands, and asked Li Guihe to take it.

"Tell me, why did you lie?" Li Guihe said in a cold voice.

"I.....I didn't..."

"I?"

"Old slave... old slave didn't..." Wen Po's face turned pale, and her entire face was buried in the ground.

"Then how do you prove it?" Li Guihe squatted down and looked at Wen Po with cold eyes, Chu Yuechen suppressed a smile and went to the chair next to him and sat down.

"The child... is indeed Madam's... This old slave has been delivering babies among the people for many years, and I have seen a few cases. Even if the pregnant woman is dead, she can still give birth. It just takes a little effort. Tell her to work harder." She can't hear..."

"Are you still joking?" Li Guihe questioned.

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not! If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask those older women who know it too! The reason why this old slave delivered babies there is just to be famous and earn a little money..."

Wen Po is already incoherent, if she says she is wronged here, it will really be her turn to be skinned and cramped.

Seeing her so nervous, Li Guihe didn't seem to be lying.

He looked up and saw Chu Yuechen sitting on a chair, looking at him with interest, Li Guihe suddenly felt a little at a loss, put on airs for a while, then opened the door and went out, Chu Yuechen immediately followed.

"I just wanted to be fierce, otherwise I won't be able to ask the truth..." This was the first sentence Li Guihe said to Chu Yuechen after he opened the door.

"I know." Chu Yuechen responded lightly.

"After asking Mrs. Wen, we didn't seem to get any clues. At most, we know that people can give birth to children after death..." Li Guihe was a little frustrated.

"In general, how did Qin Huaizhen get caught?" Chu Yuechen asked.

"Ms. Lu is wearing Qin Huaizhen's purple clothes. The daughter of Liu's family saw Qin Huaizhen and Mrs. Lu staying together at Anhemen." Li Guihe said after sorting out his thoughts.

"The eldest daughter of the Liu family, the one who was entangled by snakes at the banquet?" Chu Yuechen asked.

"Correct."

"On the night of the banquet, she praised Qin Huaizhen so much that she came to my side..." Chu Yuechen said.

"We didn't go to court that day, and Po Wen couldn't believe everything she heard... The eldest daughter of Liu's family was at the Anhe Gate that night, saying that she was relaxing, and saw Mrs. Lu talking with Qin Huaizhen. Lu Shilang's face turns green and white." Li Guihe replied.

"The words of the daughter of the Liu family are not the key point. It is very easy to cheat on people. The decisive thing is the purple dress. When I rescued Qin Huaizhen that day, he was wearing an indigo cotton coat. When I asked, he only said that he picked it up inside. ..."

After Chu Yuechen finished speaking, the two of them were silent, but they quickly made up their minds to go to the discipline room first.

No matter what, there is absolutely no doubt about him.

When we arrived at the discipline room, because it was the prince, the guards and guards couldn't stop him, so we had to let him in.

This place is much cleaner than the prison cell. Qin Huaizhen can be vaguely seen standing there through the window, with iron cuffs on his hands and iron chains all over his body, but there are no injuries. He just stood there and yawned. good.

"I've already said it's not me. If you ask it a thousand times, you still get the same answer. Aren't you tired?" Qin Huaizhen said.

"Then what did you run for?" Wei Ling stood beside him and said angrily, his tone was much weaker than that of the day.

"You chase me, I don't run, am I a fool?" Qin Huaizhen retorted.

"Okay, okay..." the interrogator on the incense wood table said, patting the chopping board.

"Young Master Qin, don't be so stubborn, we are interrogating according to business, so don't be too impatient."

"Uncle... my lord, can you let me go back quickly, the food here is very bad." Qin Huaizhen purposely called out, and looked at Wei Ling with raised eyebrows.

Wei Ling showed a sullen look on his face, but quickly retracted it.

"It's not something I can decide. The emperor wants to arrest you, but I can't help it. You just wait patiently for news from outside.

By the way, the food is not delicious? " the interrogator asked in a low voice.

"I don't think lion's head is very tasty. Guess what else is added to it?"

"What else?" The interrogator was a little curious.

"Ginger grains were added!" Qin Huaizhen said.

"What! I hate eating that the most. The food is so bad, how can I eat it? Adding ginger grains is simply hell!" the interrogator shouted.

"Yeah, that taste is really incomprehensible! It's not as delicious as my mother's..." Qin Huaizhen said to himself.

"Yes, yes, there is no my sister...cough..." The interrogator realized that he had said something that should not have been said, and hurriedly glanced at the guard next to him. It's better to be on guard.

Chu Yuechen and Li Guihe looked at Qin Huaizhen's back with disdain, and said that this kid didn't need them to save him, and he was doing well.

They walked to the room inspection and wanted to see the witnesses, but they were stopped halfway there, and Wu Zuo said with a serious face: "Your Highness, please go back, the emperor ordered things that must not be seen."

"His Royal Highness! I found you!" A little waiter ran over.

"What?" Chu Yuechen asked.

"The emperor said that today is the anniversary of the death of the deceased wife of Liu Clan, and he is a minister of our country, so let His Highness go with him!" the little waiter gasped.

"There has never been such a rule?"

"It is said that Liu's family has recently shown great achievements. As a prince, he should go and have a look."

"Where is it?" Chu Yuechen looked a little annoyed when he saw that the matter before him was interrupted by other things.

"Prince please come with me." The little waiter saluted respectfully.

Chu Yuechen had no choice but to go out and get on the sedan chair. Li Guihe habitually refused to get on the sedan chair and walked with him outside.

After half an hour, Li Guihe suddenly opened the sedan chair curtain and said to Chu Yuechen, "It's over."

"What's the matter?"

"The purple clothes I got just now belonged to Liu's late wife, and the King of Chu wants to harm you." Li Guihe said anxiously.

Chu Yuechen was a little surprised. Could it be that this is the truth?He couldn't understand why they came to harm him out of nowhere, but they had already entered the garrison circle, and it was useless to try to escape now.

When the sedan chair landed, Chu Yuechen came out and saw all the officials standing in line. Liu Menxia was standing in front of the conversation with the King of Chu. The King of Chu saw Chu Yuechen smiling and beckoning him to go.

Chu Yuechen went to the front and found Qin Leyuan standing in the crowd with an expressionless face.

"The prince is here, hurry up and offer incense to the wife of the Liu family." King Chu smiled.

Chu Yuechen took the incense, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner.

"Hahaha, if my wife can receive a stick of incense from the prince, she will be able to enjoy a happy life in heaven in the future." Liu Menxia said with a smile.

"Liu's family is also blessed with such a beautiful daughter." King Chu smiled.

"She was carved out of the same mold as her mother." Liu Menxia said proudly.

Chu Yuechen looked at Liu Su who was standing in the distance. She was dressed in plain clothes, and she was pretty well-behaved, with a little blush on her face, staring at the ground in a daze.

"I heard that Mrs. Zun loved music and dancing very much in her lifetime?" King Chu continued to laugh.

"Yeah, this is what I like the most. I ask the singing team to sing a song every day, and dance a section by myself, or sing and dance by myself. It's so beautiful..." Liu Menxia said, his eyes softened.

"I heard that Madam has thousands of clothes, but she prefers purple skirts?" King Chu said.

"Yes..." Liu Menxia stopped smiling, with some doubts in his eyes, and the people next to him were also very surprised. There has been a lot of noise recently because of the word 'purple'. How could this word come from the mouth of the King of Chu? .

"It must be very beautiful, I think, but it's a pity that I didn't have time to appreciate it when I studied the secretary before... It's a pity... But the crown prince has seen it, I don't know how it is?"

The king of Chu beckoned the waiter to light another stick of incense, bowed, put it into the incense burner, and glanced at Chu Yuechen.

"It's getting late, how about a drink with me, Mr. Liu?" King Chu said with a smile.

"Today...forget it, Madam's death day, I want to stay a little longer, hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Liu Menxia said.

"That's natural." After the King of Chu said that, he turned and walked out, and other officials also went with him. Qin Leyuan immediately walked back when he saw the crowd dispersed, without stopping for a moment. Chu Yuechen and Li Guihe's eyes met, and they hid inside. In the bushes not far away.

Liu Menxia stood for a while, waited for everyone to leave, waved their hands, and soon a few people came, picked up the rope to fix it and went down.

The person who was going down quickly climbed up, holding a purple dress in his hand, which was exactly the one that Chu Yuechen and the others had missed just now, and it was still dripping with green water.

Looking at Liu Menxia heaved a sigh of relief, asked them to take the clothes away, and went out by himself.

"He's trying to harm me." Chu Yuechen said.

Li Guihe looked at Chu Yuechen's profile, and he could see the hatred in his eyes, which filled his entire pupils.

【Ancheng Chu Palace】

"Look at my new gadget." Guan Shun's voice sounded.

After the King of Chu looked up, his face was a little shocked. Guan Shun in front of him became rosy and lost his previous miserable look, and he was completely two people from before.

"how did you make it?"

"I went to find that woman and asked her to give it to me. There were quite a lot of people who died before, so there was room." Guan Shun sat on the stool and smiled, no different from a normal person.

The king of Chu hugged him and said, "But I like you the way you were before."

"Hehe, of course I know, but I didn't do it for this!"

"What's that for?"

"I want to be a prince, really!"

The king of Chu looked at him, straightened his ears and hair, and said with a smile

"it is good".
