The people in Lanling seem to keep silent about that strange poison, and their faces change when they hear it.

There was still no progress after a few days, and the weather was so hot that Wei Yunzhu felt restless, so he drank a whole bowl of herbal tea that reduces fire and relieves dryness.

Cui Yue reported outside the corridor: "Princess, someone sent you a letter."

When he took it in, Wei Yunzhu opened it with some doubts, and immediately dropped a small gadget from the envelope.

She picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was the earring she gave to Huahua that day. She had a bad premonition in her heart, and opened the letter immediately.

But it was just a blank sheet of paper, she thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of the trick that Ruhua once performed for herself on the flower boat.

"Cui Yue, light the candle."

Immediately, she put the white paper on the top of the candle flame and baked it for a few times. Sure enough, words began to appear on the white paper one after another.

After reading it, Wei Yunzhu was shocked, and suddenly realized that the tattoo he saw on Ruhua's shoulder by accident that day belonged to the Gu family's brand!
The two sisters were selected and presented to Gu Huaimao, but that bastard Gu Huaimao actually mutilated Yingniang to death. The purpose of entering the painting this time was to hope that Wei Yunzhu would kindly bury her sister so that she would not die with regret.

Wei Yunzhu slapped the letter on the desk with all his strength, trembling with anger, it was... too much!
The corpse is temporarily placed in a yizhuang in the western suburbs of Lanling, Wei Yunzhu can't wait for Pei Ji to come back, so he leaves immediately.

"Cui Yue, accompany me to Yizhuang."

……

Yizhuang in the western suburbs.

This place should be rebuilt from a mansion that has been abandoned for many years. After being exposed to wind and rain, it has become dilapidated. The black lacquered gate, the animal head door knocker is seriously peeled off, and the signboard hangs obliquely, dangling.

Stepping on the messy thatch in the courtyard, there is a larger main hall in front, with worn and damaged white silk hanging everywhere, and thin wooden coffins are densely placed in the hall.

Cui Yue had already made arrangements and led her inside.

It was deserted and clear here, and even the wind was blowing. Wei Yunzhu took the incense candle basket from Cui Yue, and sprinkled a handful of paper money on the ground.

Scenes on the flower boat came into view, that bright and charming girl was lying in such a cold coffin in such a sloppy manner, it was really a misfortune.

But she never expected that before the coffin could be sealed, the moment she looked up, she saw Yingniang lying in the coffin.

At first he was stunned, then full of compassion and became stagnant for breathing.

Her eyes were full of shock, her pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't imagine what she saw!
Some painful memories flooded her mind like a tide, and a huge beast was about to swallow her whole.

The pale cheeks, the purple lips, the corners of the eyes, the nasal cavity, the sides of the mouth, and the seven orifices all had bloodstains that had not been wiped clean in time. The black ones had completely dried up, which was very frightening.

That face gradually blurred in front of him, then merged, and finally turned into the emperor's brother-in-law who screamed crazily when he fell ill.

Bursts of chills came up from the soles of the feet, and fear was born.

"Princess? Princess!"

Cui Yue noticed her strangeness, and immediately blocked her sight with his body: "Princess, don't look."

Back to her senses, Wei Yunzhu took a few deep breaths, stretched out her hand to signal Cui Yue to back down, now is definitely not the time to be afraid, she must confirm whether Yingniang died of the same poison as the former emperor.

She will never let history repeat itself, Yan'er, she will definitely live on, and live well.

But what exactly is this poison?Who placed it?How much does it have to do with the Gu family?
Wei Yunzhu looked at Yingniang's body again, her knuckles were trembling, but her thoughts were unprecedentedly clear.

Suddenly, there was a lot of commotion outside Yizhuang, and the sound of messy footsteps came. Before he could react, Cui Yue pulled him into the narrow passage beside him.

A group of people who looked like domestic servants quickly sealed Yingniang's coffin, and then several people worked together to carry the coffin away.

They looked anxious and left quickly.

Wei Yunzhu looked at the backs of these people thoughtfully, Cui Yue also said beside him: "I'm afraid they are from the Gu family."

The girl glanced at the paper money floating on the ground, turned around and said, "Cui Yue, do something for me..."

In the afternoon of that day, Cui Yue returned to the mansion, and immediately went to find Wei Yunzhu.

"Princess, the subordinates have found out clearly."

"Three days ago, Yingniang was summoned by Gu Huaimao. It was not until the next morning that Gu Huaimao left home. When she left, Yingniang was restless and bored in the room alone."

"At Haishi in the evening, Yingniang had an unbearable headache. She said she was suffering from a madness. She yelled, ran and smashed, and finally bled from her orifices. She hit her head on a pillar and passed out. A maid went to see the doctor. , but when the doctor arrived, he found that he was gone."

Wei Yunzhu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Is there serious vomiting of blood?"

"According to the maid who was present at the time, the vomiting of blood was very serious, and it was all black blood, and it was all over the clothes and curtains."

"What did the Gu family say?"

"No, they seem to be used to it. It seems that this Gu Huaimao is indeed doing a lot of evil. I'm afraid such things happen often."

After contemplating for a moment, Wei Yunzhu seemed to remember something, and asked anxiously, "What about Ruhua? How is she doing now?"

"The girl who entered the painting is still at Gu Huaimao's residence."

What is going on, Ruhua must know, and he has to think of a way to rescue Ruhua. Besides, if Yingniang really died of the poison, her symptoms are so obvious, maybe we can get some clues from her.

But Yingniang's body was taken away, and it might not be easy to get in touch again...

Wei Yunzhu's eyes lit up suddenly, thinking of someone.

At Haishi, the night was already deep.

Wei Yunzhu leaned on the stone bench in the courtyard, had been waiting for a long time, finally saw Pei Ji, and returned in a hurry.

Seeing the little princess waiting for him, Pei Ji could not restrain the joy in his eyes, but after approaching, he deliberately said: "The princess is very interested, do you want to enjoy the moon?"

Wei Yunzhu gently opened the food box in front of him, revealing a whole box of fresh lychees with dewdrops hanging on them, which Pei Ji just ordered to deliver today.

"There is no moon, waiting for you."

Pei Ji took advantage of the situation and sat down, playing with the cups on the stone table, and looked at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes for a long time, before taking it easy: "The princess said that as long as the humble minister restrains himself and behaves like a modest gentleman, he will treat the humble minister wholeheartedly. "

"Wei Chen believed it, so it's already getting late, it's not appropriate for you and me to live together alone, and besides, you should also rest."

He said it decently, but Wei Yunzhu didn't think about it, he pretended to be a wolf with a big tail, and even blocked himself with what she had said.

"That being said, it's not out of the ordinary to sit down and watch the moon together, so don't worry." Wei Yunzhu said this with a guilty conscience.
