Chapter 81 Step by Step

Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Wei Mo took out a piece of letter paper from his body, bowed and said back: "Master, take a look at this."

Xiao Jinxi who was on the pear flower bed heard the words and took the letter paper, and asked in doubt for a moment: "This is it?"

I saw scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos, and toads painted on the letter paper, and five needles were drawn on the poison.

Wei Mo replied: "Master, this is called avoiding the five poisons, and it is a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival in Da Viet."

"During the Dragon Boat Festival in Da Viet, these five poisonous substances multiply in large numbers and are easy to bite people. In addition, the weather is hot and dry, and people are prone to illness and epidemics. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is regarded as a poisonous day in Da Viet, and it is slowly found among the people. It is a custom to avoid the five poisons and seek peace. Some people will post pictures of the five poisons in the house. Some people will go to the drugstore to buy the five poisons, prick them with silver needles, and put them in the house."

"Master, this is one of our people. It was found in Liu Quan's room in Lai Shun Tavern today. Although there are many Da Yue merchants traveling between the two places in Tianqi, this Dragon Boat Festival custom has not been integrated into the lives of Tianqi people."

Xiao Jinxi's eyes froze when he heard the words: "So this Liu Quan, no, it's Liu Zifu, he is from Da Viet. Last time, the household registration shown on the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not like this. Also, if it is from Da Viet Maybe he entered the palace as a servant. It seems that Liu Zifu was specially arranged to enter the palace by someone from the beginning to follow Concubine Mei and Murong Xuan. Including the person who broke into the Jinxiu Pavilion last time, it is probably the same reason."

Before:

Night, Jinxiu Pavilion.

"Master, since the early morning court today, all the teahouses and restaurants in the imperial capital have been discussing in private, including the matter of Xiangguo Temple, breaking into the palace, offering sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven, and the matter of Emperor Mingxi saving each other in the imperial garden."

Xiao Jinxi immediately raised her head when she heard the words, and asked, "What happened to the imperial garden back then?"

"Yes." Wei Mo replied.

Xiao Jinxi wondered: "It's been so many years since what happened back then, and I remember that it didn't attract much attention back then, so no one should remember too much, why is it suddenly being discussed now?"

Wei Mo replied after hearing the words: "... There are also speculations. Is there any truth to the rescue? Was there a conspiracy earlier?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxi raised her head instantly.Already have a plot?Is there really something hidden about what happened back then?

Xiao Jinxi turned his head to stare at the chessboard, and after a long time, Fang said: "Wei Mo, I remember that there was an Eunuch Liu back then. He helped find a soft sedan chair and called a helper, so he sent me to the imperial hospital, but later I entered the palace again. I haven't seen him again, you can find a way to see if you can find this person."

"Okay, this subordinate understands." Wei Mo bowed and replied.

······
At this moment, Xiao Jinxi's eyes were full of hostility, and she clenched her hands tightly. Now it seems that the rescue of Yuhuayuan was planned long ago!Heh...Murong Xuan, you are really amazing. You were only eleven or twelve years old at that time, but you already had such a scheming heart. You used this to get my gratitude from Xiao Jinxi, and you approached the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion step by step, step by step. Pave the way for your succession step by step.And I, Xiao Jinxi, was so stupid that I believed in a person like you, and killed the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, all my close relatives, and Chen'er's tragic death in the Palace of Pure Heart!

At this moment, a chill came out of Xiao Jinxi's body, and his complexion paled instantly...

Seeing Xiao Jinxi with a strange expression, Wei Mo frowned, and shouted anxiously: "Master, are you sick again?"

"It's nothing! There's no need to call anyone." Xiao Jinxi responded, crossing her knees and closing her eyes to gather her breath, mobilizing her inner breath to slowly push down the cold air in her body... Xiao Jinxi, you can't fall anymore. In this life, You still have a lot to do!What face do you have to meet Chen'er... At this moment, the red chakra on the right wrist is also heating up continuously, a warm current is slowly entering the heart vein...
Wei Mo on the side quickly turned his head and lit the charcoal stove in the house.Wei Mo frowned and looked at his master. It's the midsummer of the Dragon Boat Festival, but the Jinxiu Pavilion still has to prepare this charcoal stove... At this moment, he seems to know why the master has been refusing to let him channel his internal energy To dispel the cold, maybe the master already knows how serious his cold syndrome is, and it can be resolved by channeling a few times of internal energy. The master doesn't want to drag him down!
Time passed little by little... Xiao Jinxifang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of exhaustion, and his pale complexion had a hint of blood.

"Miss!" Luo Er, who just walked into the Nuan Pavilion at this moment, exclaimed in surprise, and immediately ran forward, grabbed her own lady, and said with red eyes, "Miss, are you sick again?"

Zhu Chao shouted at Wei Mo: "Stinky crow, why didn't Miss call us when she was sick?"

Everyone in An Xue who heard the sound from outside the Nuan Pavilion and ran in was startled: "Miss, I will make you a cup of hot tea." Everyone was shocked, why did Miss get sick so frequently recently!
Xiao Jinxi smiled lightly: "Luo Er, don't be angry, I'm fine, Miss, it was just a little cold just now, that's why Wei Mo didn't call you."

I saw Luo Er kept rubbing his young lady's hands, asking: "Miss, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better." Xiao Jinxi replied with a faint smile.

"Miss, come, have a cup of hot tea."

"Miss, take the hand stove."

"Hmm..." Xiao Jinxi took the hand stove and drank tea slowly, but his eyes turned to the chessboard on the pear flower couch... It can't be like this anymore, this Liu Zifu must have contacted Dayue for Murong Xuan, This Liu Zifu must know a lot of things, we can't let him go anymore!
Luoer on the side looked at the young lady who just fell ill, thinking about something again, turned around and walked to the side, the tears in his eyes couldn't help streaming down, and quickly wiped away the tears with his hand...
Wei Mo on the side saw it, and his heart tightened!
For a moment, I saw hostility flashing in Xiao Jinxi's eyes, his voice turned cold, and he ordered: "Wei Mo, look at how the investigation at Yunlin's side is going, wait until the person in the Honglu Pavilion is caught. I want to capture this Liu Zifu That's it! This Liu Zifu probably has a lot of martial arts skills, so get your hands ready, I want to see what else he can pry out of his mouth!"

Hearing this, Wei Mo bowed and replied: "Yes, master, the subordinates will make arrangements now."

······
At night, in a wing room of Fu'an Hall.

This is Zhao Xianglan's dorm. At this moment, I saw Zhao Mama on the bed holding a colorful rope in her hand, dazed in a daze, her eyes full of longing...
After a long time, Mother Zhao sighed deeply, got up and went to the closet, opened the closet, took out a wooden box from inside, went to the bed and opened the wooden box, and put the colorful ropes in her hands into the box one by one. In the wooden box, staring at the wooden box in a daze, with tears in his eyes...
I saw countless colorful ropes in the wooden box, some of which seemed to have degraded in color and were of different ages...
After a long time, I saw Mother Zhao closing the wooden box with a dejected expression, getting up again and putting the wooden box back into the closet, going to the window one by one, looking into the distance from afar, with longing and bewilderment in her eyes... ····
