A glance at the spring breeze

Chapter 10 Water Waves in the Well

For the next half month or so, Yin Jian slept with Ruan Lan every night, administered needles every night, and was very honest, doing nothing.

Ruan Lan ate and drank well every day, and would lie down and take a nap when she had nothing to do.

What Ruan Lan didn't expect was that when she woke up one day, Ruan Lan found a golden orange in front of her eyes!

He quickly closed his eyes, thinking that he was dreaming, and then opened them after a while, and there was still a golden orange in front of his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes, sat up immediately, and the scene in front of him changed accordingly.What caught the eye was a water-blue tent covering the top of the head.

Ruan Lan looked further away...

I can't see clearly anymore.

Ruan Lan remembered that Eunuch Yu told him that the quilt he covered was orange-yellow, and it was just inlaid with a little gold velvet, but now the quilt he saw was completely golden.And the tent that Eunuch Yu hung up recently is blue, which is slightly different from what he saw.

Mostly due to the effectiveness of Yin Zan's acupuncture, he is now able to see the general appearance of things, but there are many deviations from the colors in the eyes of ordinary people.In addition, he can only see close objects now, and the visual range is about five or six feet away. If they are farther away, they cannot be recognized, only blurred overlapping images.

Despite this, Ruan Lan is still very happy, after all, she has been blind for nearly nine years.During the first few months of blindness in both eyes, he was so desperate that he wanted to die.At the beginning, he thought about and tried countless ways to commit suicide, but Yin Jian resolved them one by one. In the end, Yin Jian said to him: "If you die one day, then Ling Tang will not even want to live."

Ruan's father and Ruan's mother are old enough to have children, but Ruan Lan is only a weak crown, and Ruan's mother is already in her twilight years.Ruan Lan has no relatives, only her mother is still alive.Yin Jian obviously got the right handle on Ruan Lan.

After that, Ruan Lan didn't seek death any more, but it didn't mean that she no longer suffered from the loss of her eyes.

Her eyes finally saw the light again, but Ruan Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Yin Jian healed his eyes, but without Yin Jian, he would not be blind, and he would not be imprisoned in the palace in a daze without accomplishing anything.

Suddenly a cry disrupted Ruan Lan's thoughts.Eunuch Yu ran in panting, stumbled and said, "My lord! It's not good! My lord!"

For the time being, Ruan Lan didn't want others to realize that she could see, so she lowered her eyes and said, "Elder-in-law, what happened to you being so reckless?"

Eunuch Yu bent over gasping for breath, his face flushed, and said: "Slave, I just saw a group of people surrounding the well in the imperial garden and didn't know what they were doing, so I was curious. ...there is a female corpse in this well!"

Ruan Lan was startled: "Female corpse?"

Eunuch Yu nodded again and again: "Yes, it's in the well in the imperial garden where we usually go. Seeing that the clothes should be, it should be a palace maid."

Ruan Lan said, "Apart from clothes, what else can you tell?"

Eunuch Yu's voice was trembling: "Someone recognized it as a maid from Furong Palace...but her body was swollen from the water, and her face was covered by floating hair... I couldn't recognize who it was at all."

Ruan Lan frowned slightly.

Furong Hall was Wei Wanpin's residence, if the female corpse really belonged to Furong Hall, then it would naturally be Wei Wanbin's maid.Although this matter has nothing to do with Ruan Lan, Ruan Lan felt uneasy in his heart, and he said to Eunuch Yu, "Come out with me and have a look."

These days, there will be heavy rain in the afternoon every day, and it will stop after a while. The ground is wet and slippery, and sometimes I will step on a few flower petals that have been knocked down by the rain.

It may be because of the rain that just finished, the sky looks extremely gray, but the light outside the door hurts Ruan Lan's eyes in an instant.

Ruan Lan didn't dare to look up at the surroundings, he was afraid that others would find that he had regained his sight.So Ruan Lan looked down at the road, her eyes glazed over, as if she still couldn't see the road, and was supported by Eunuch Yu.

Even though I could only see the blue bricks on the ground, I was still extremely excited.Every five white bricks will be paved with a colored brick engraved with peony patterns, and the two sides of the road will be decorated with blue stripes. Every inch of the road near the Imperial Garden and the Imperial Garden is like this.This is the path he has walked for more than [-] years, and it is also the first path he has taken after regaining his eyesight.

He Yuxuan is not far from the Imperial Garden, adjacent to a very remote corner of the Imperial Garden.And that remote corner is usually only visited by Ruan Lan and some passing palace people.

Unfortunately, the maid threw herself into the well here.

When Ruan Lan and Eunuch Yu arrived, the crowd had dispersed, and the female body was picked up and transported elsewhere.Only two guards were stationed by the well.

Ruan Lan didn't stop, he walked straight up, and then pretended to be tripped by the steps and hit the mouth of the well.

Holding the wet stone edge of the well with both hands, he took a hasty look inside, and was stabilized by Eunuch Yu who ran over. Eunuch Yu said in horror: "My lord! What's wrong with you!"

"It's okay." He clapped his palms and shook off the gravel on them, "I just accidentally tripped over the steps."

Eunuch Yu panicked and said, "My lord...you, you knocked down that well! It's the well that just filled the female corpse! It's too bad luck, there must be something weird about this well!"

One of the guards was taken aback.It was already evening, and the weather was cold. I was already trembling when I stood by the well where someone had just died. Suddenly, a person rushed towards the well without warning, and anyone would be scared out of their wits.Now that the guard saw that Ruan Lan's eyes were not bright, he realized it in his heart. He felt a sense of being teased, and couldn't help being angry. Shaking, who are you trying to scare to death! No one is allowed to approach, or you will be killed without mercy!"

Eunuch Yu couldn't help it when he heard the beginning, if it wasn't for Ruan Lan's pull, he would have jumped up and pointed at the tall guard and scolded him: "How do you talk..."

Ruan Lan pulled his sleeve to persuade him: "Elder-in-law." Then she bowed to the guard and said, "I'm really sorry, let's go now."

Eunuch Yu was angrily pulled away by Ruan Lan.

A little further away, Eunuch Yu was still full of anger: "My lord, this stupid guard is really out of his mind, let's see how I can go to the emperor to sue him!"

Ruan Lan shook her head: "It's nothing, why should the father-in-law be angry with the villain."

When Eunuch Yu heard this, his frowning face suddenly cheered up: "Hey, your lord is right, he is a villain. We don't care about him."

Ruan Lan said: "Eunuch, how did this maid who fell into the water be discovered, can you tell me about it?"

Eunuch Yu thought for a while, and replied: "I also heard the news from those palace people. I don't know if the news I heard is correct. This afternoon, a palace lady was sent by a concubine to the south gate. Who knows, he was passing by When she was here, there was a sudden downpour, so she hid under the gazebo to hide from the rain. Bored, she looked under the rockery. The female corpse. I heard that the palace servant was terrified and passed out on the spot. Someone helped her up when passing by, and the female corpse in the water was finally known to everyone."

Ruan Lan nodded.

He pondered.I just glanced into the well, but there was nothing but the sparkling water and the white light.

The well water is not deep. With his current eyesight, he should be able to see unless it is too small. At most, he can't see it clearly and cannot identify it.

But one day there was a result from the Criminal Division.

"The dead lady's name was Lianfang, and she was indeed a maid in Furong Palace. The body was swollen and swollen, but no wound could be found on the body. Wu Zuo opened her mouth... and found that her throat was festered, A small hole was exposed, and from the small hole you could see..."

"What did you see?" Ruan Lan asked Eunuch Yu, "Why didn't you continue?"

Eunuch Yu's lips trembled, he swallowed his saliva, and then continued: "You can see... In fact, there is only a skin left in this court lady! The internal organs have disappeared, all are gone!"

Ruan Lan was startled, and thought: If there were no wounds on her body, then these internal organs must not have been removed by dissection.Could it be that there is really some strange poison in this world, which can corrode all the internal organs of the poisoned person, leaving only the bones and skin?

Or is there some secret hidden inside this body that the murderer must destroy?

Since it was going to be destroyed, why was it thrown into the well in the imperial garden?

Ruan Lan asked, "Is there any sign of poisoning?"

Eunuch Yu shook his head, and said in a muffled voice, "The Division of Criminal Justice didn't check it out. But... something was found in the maid's nails."

"What?"

Eunuch Yu suddenly changed his trembling and fearful expression before, and said with righteous indignation: "My lord, do you still remember that the medicine powder you put on your eyes was changed? Your Majesty asked the Taoist priest to identify it. The thing in the maid's fingernail, It is the same as the medicine powder after the bottle was replaced last time! The Taoist priest also said that he has found out that the raw materials of these medicine powders are produced in Hexi, which happened to be the place where General Wei was stationed before, so now... now they are all in It is said that Wei Wanpin asked the maid to poison Lord Ruan Lan, and then in order to silence her, she killed the maid with some evil witchcraft and threw it into a well."

Ruan Lan commented after listening, "That's too blatant."

Eunuch Yu was puzzled at first, but after a pause, he realized what Ruan Lan meant.

Since Wei Wanpin was able to package the medicine powder in He Yuxuan without anyone noticing, she would definitely not want to expose this matter in the future. in the well.This is simply an advertisement to the world: "I am the one who casts the poison, and I am the one who kills the people."

No one would be so stupid.What's more, Wei Wanpin is just a concubine who just got married at the age of twenty-eight, how could she behave so viciously when she first arrived in the palace, committing suicide of her own maid without leaving her internal organs?

Regardless of whether it was the medicine powder that Wei Wanpin replaced.But Ruan Lan can be sure that she was not the one who killed the court lady who threw herself into the well.

Did the corpse thrower come for Wei Wanbi, or...

Ruan Lan was halfway through her thoughts when she heard someone push the door open. Ruan Lan took a look at who was coming and continued to close her eyes and pretend to be blind.

The person who came was Yin Jian, wearing a shining golden dragon robe.

It's night, it's time for Yin Jian to come.
