Chapter 25 Thinness [1 more]

A few days later, when Fuwan went to the Taifu's mansion, he carried the detailed autopsy report in his arms. Drunken Niang wrote it carefully, and stamped the seal of Dali Temple at the end.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a gust of wind behind him.Fu Wan was startled, and when she turned around, she saw the woman in white lightly landed on the ground, as if she had been waiting for her on the wall early in the morning.

She let out a low "huh" in a panic.Unexpectedly, as soon as the sound came out, she saw a face as white as a jade cicada crawling up to a reddish face.

Fu Wan: "You... Miss Bai?"

Bai Chan coughed lightly, signaling her to go first.

The two walked towards the Tai Tuo's mansion one after the other, and after a while, Fu Wan suddenly heard her say: "What is that on your shoulder?"

"what?"

Fu Wan felt a slight chill on her neck, but it was Bai Chan's fingers that gently pulled open her collar and touched her shoulder near the side of her neck.

Bai Chan: "What's wrong with you here?"

Fuwan couldn't see it herself, so she had to ask her what it was.Bai Chan squinted her eyes for a while, stroking her fingers up and down, Fuwan felt itchy, tried not to moan, and said stiffly, "Miss Bai, if you do this again, I'm going to scream!"

"What are you shouting for?" Bai Chan stopped, showing a little confusion.

Fu Wan covered her neck: "You avoided me before and refused to say that you like me, but now you want to play tricks on me, that's not acceptable!"

Bai Chan had no choice but to give her a sideways glance, knowing that she couldn't speak up.

Her eyes are beautiful, and this glance is like the waves of autumn water, which makes people's hearts sway.

Fu Wan was also dazed for a while, and managed to stabilize before saying: "Look, although I like you, I am not an unprincipled person. If you like me too, naturally you can do whatever you want, but whoever tells you Why don't you say it?"

"What frivolity, I just—" Bai Chan pursed her lips, "I just saw something weird on your shoulder."

Fu Wan raised her eyebrows: "The last time you forced me to kiss you in the underground palace, was it also because of something weird on my lips?"

Bai Chan choked.This was the first time the two talked about this issue after that day.She felt a little guilty, and turned her eyes: "I, I don't dislike..."

Halfway through speaking, a soft sound was heard in the courtyard.The two turned their heads, only to see Mrs. Xiao staring at them dumbfounded.

Fu Wan coughed dryly: "Hiss, Mrs. Xiao. Let's get acquainted, this white girl is lonely——"

Taifu Xiao gave a jolt, shook his head and said, "No, there is no need to say too much, as long as your Highness is happy."

Bai Chan: "..."

Lin Ruhui was lying leisurely on the porch reading a book, when he saw a few people coming in, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere was a bit weird, only to see Mrs. Xiao leading the people in as if she had lost her soul, following Fu Wan with a nonchalant tone, while she Behind him, the white girl with strong martial arts was full of confusion.

Lin Ruhui called Xiao Ran who was about to go out: "What's wrong, my lord?"

Mrs. Xiao trembled: "...it's nothing."

Lin Ruhui narrowed his fox eyes: "Well, you know?"

Mrs. Xiao suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, at this moment, Fuwan made a sound to relieve the situation: "You know what you know? Don't keep thinking about clichés."

The poor Tai Tu was relieved, and retreated in a panic.

Fu Wan didn't care, took out the autopsy report written by Zui Niang and threw it to Lin Ruhui, and said, "Where's Xiang Liutu?"

Lin Ruhui asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do again?"

"It's not your thing, why are you so nervous?" Fu Wan said as he took out the scroll of pictures from the pile of desks and stuffed it into Bai Chan's hands, "Look, Miss Bai, can you think of something? "

Lin Ruhui was simply amazed, watching his highness casually take the treasure map that was robbed by various factions in the capital to please Xiaoqinger.

Bai Chan didn't notice her eyes, she stared fixedly at the scroll with Xiang Liu printed on it, brushed her fingers lightly over the cloth, and frowned slightly.

The room fell silent for a while, Fu Wan sat down beside her, flipping through the old files that had been sorted out.Lin Ruhui looked at the two of them for a while, and then returned his attention to the autopsy report.

Several people study independently.After a long while, Lin Ruhui suddenly heard: "Poison poison?"

Fu Wan put down the case file in his hand: "What's wrong?"

Lin Ruhui hissed, saying that he didn't know if it was a coincidence, and then he dug out an old report and showed it to her.Fu Wan glanced at it, and there was a record of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet 16 years ago, and poison was found in the drinks of the guests.

Lin Ruhui: "Poison poison is not easy to obtain. Most of the common poisons use 'faith stones', that is, □□. Poison wine... is a common trick in the palace."

"In the palace...the empress?" Fu Wan shook his head, "Not necessarily. Relatives of the emperor, relatives of powerful ministers and relatives, all have ways to obtain this thing."

Lin Ruhui thought it was reasonable, thought for a moment, and then said it was a pity. She said that if she could obtain these two poisons at the same time, and let a doctor who is familiar with poisons distinguish them, she might be able to identify some connections.

However, after many years, where can I find the poisoned wine that was at the palace banquet that day?

Fu Wan suddenly remembered something: "Is there a cure for this poisonous poison?"

Lin Ruhui said that he had never heard of a case where someone was able to be revived after drinking poisonous alcohol.

Fu Wan's eyes brightened: "This is it." She asked, "Did you find out that among the people who attended the banquet that day, were there any poisoned people?"

"It seems not," Lin Ruhui hesitated, "Could it be that the palace banquet was interrupted by the assassin before it even started?"

"No," Fu Wan closed the scroll, raised his eyes and said, "It is true that one person died."

"Who?"

"Dingyuanhou Shizi Concubine."

Lin Ruhui was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the palace banquet was a mess that day, not to mention the guards and guards, the only one who died among the distinguished guests who attended the banquet was Princess Dingyuanhou.It was recorded in the file that she was injured by a stray arrow, but it is still unknown whether this is the truth.

Fu Wan thought about what the ritual officer had confessed to her, and the many messages in his mind gradually connected into a string like pearls.

The Marquis of Dingyuan has been advocating martial arts for generations, and has held military power. If they really want to rebel, they can justly lead troops to force the palace, why send people to pretend to be assassins at the palace banquet.

Take ten thousand steps back and say, if Dingyuan Hou Shizi really arranged for an assassin, he would go to the palace alone for the banquet, why would he bring his concubine with him.

Lin Ruhui frowned: "Someone wanted to poison Dingyuanhou Shizi? Maybe the concubine Shizi prevented the disaster for him."

Fu Wan said: "No, there is another possibility. Maybe this poisonous wine was originally prepared for the concubine. Dingyuanhou and his wife have only been married for two years, and they are very loving. What will happen?"

"You mean—"

The Marquis of Dingyuan made great achievements in battle, and he wore a sword in front of the special hall.But on that day, the knife became his death talisman, as long as he drew the knife in a rage, it would be murder and treason.

The two of them figured this out, and both felt a chill coming from behind. No matter whose idea it was, it was too vicious.

At this time, Bai Chan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Shi... Concubine Zi?"

In terms of seniority, Dingyuan Hou Shizi should be Baichan's sister-in-law.Fu Wan turned to look at her: "What do you remember?"

Bai Chan's fingers holding Xiang Liutu suddenly tightened, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead, as if caught in some kind of painful memory.After a long time, she said with difficulty: "I remember her...she seems to be pregnant."

Fu Wan and Lin Ruhui looked at each other, then at Bai Chan, waiting for her to continue.

"I can't remember anything else," Bai Chan covered her face with one hand, "I just remember that she had a big belly, and she had to be supported by her mother when she went out...and there was blood."

"What blood?"

Bai Chan took a heavy breath, pursed her thin lips into a line, and shook her head: "I can't remember." Her palms were cold, and her whole body shivered intermittently, as if she had just come out of an ice hole.

When she closed her eyes, she saw the blood splashing in the sky. She couldn't even tell where the blood flowed from, but she only remembered that it soaked through the gorgeous dress of her sister-in-law, crawled all the way across the stone steps, and filthy The leftovers were mixed together.

Where is that?

It seems that it is not a palace, but a dark prison, with candles flickering around, the mournful cries of female relatives, and the blunt sound of knives and axes splitting flesh and blood.She desperately opened her eyes to look, but only saw boundless darkness.

Suddenly, her hand was held by someone.

Bai Chan opened her eyes suddenly, and saw Fu Wan squatting in front of her, looking up at her, her black eyes filled with worry.

The temperature from the back of her hand was very warm, Bai Chan's heart twitched slightly, and even gave birth to an illusion, as if she was falling down a bottomless crack, going down, swallowed by darkness, cold, and blood... …until someone grabbed her hand.

Bai Chan lowered her eyes and looked at the hands they held.

Fu Wan also lowered her head, and suddenly realized that she let go, and turned her face away and said, "Then what, I'm not being frivolous to you. I asked you a long time ago, and I arrested you because you didn't answer."

Bai Chan said softly: "Well, it doesn't count."

Hearing this, Fu Wan turned to glance at her, seemed a little surprised, and said, "What did you think of just now? I see you are sweating a lot."

Bai Chan shook her head, but did not answer.

"Your Highness..." Lin Ruhui's hesitant voice suddenly came from beside him, "What is that on your shoulder?"

Fu Wan subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch it, just now Bai Chan also pointed at this place, she didn't pay much attention to it, and when Lin Ruhui mentioned it again, she said, "What is it, is it obvious?"

"Well," Lin Ruhui took out a small round mirror, "See for yourself."

Fu Wan tilted his head to look with difficulty, only to see a small bruise on the shoulders near the throat under the neckline.The fingers are very flat to the touch, there seems to be no broken skin, and there is no pain when pressed. I don't know what it is.

She looked at it for a while, put down the mirror, tightened the neckline again, and muttered, "Maybe it hit somewhere?"

Lin Ruhui said narrowly: "How do you hit this position? I said, 'someone' probably left a mark on you, but you didn't know it?" After finishing speaking, he glanced narrowly at Bai Chan.

Bai Chan's face was blank, but Fu Wan's face blushed suddenly. She glared at Lin Ruhui: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think everyone is like you?"

Bai Chan was still puzzled: "What is she talking about?"

Fu Wan blushed and refused to answer, so she dismissed the matter.Fortunately, the location of the weird scar was not too conspicuous, it could be covered by the collar, and it only existed for a few days, and soon faded away.

***

The Yaofa puppet bombing cast a shadow over the New Year, and the atmosphere in the palace barely warmed up until around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the Empress held a banquet in the Palace of Preserving Harmony for all civil and military officials.During the banquet, everyone pushed glasses and changed glasses, and after three rounds of drinking, the courtiers gradually forgot the disaster of New Year's Eve and became alive again.

Fuwan also attended this palace banquet.She never liked to socialize, she was really bored, so she found an excuse and slipped out the back door halfway through.

It was a full fifteenth month, and the night in the palace was just right.She stopped in the empty courtyard and looked up at the round moon.

This situation made her feel emotional, thinking of the night when she and Bai Chan met for the first time, the moon was so round.

"His Royal Highness Di Ji."

Suddenly someone called her, which shocked the quiet night.

Fu Wan frowned, followed the prestige, and saw a man in brocade clothes standing in the door of the Moon Cave, he was young and luxuriously dressed, he should be a son of some family.

It wasn't until he got closer that she noticed the platinum four-clawed dragon embroidered on the corner of his clothes.

The man came closer and saluted: "Xiao Wang has seen His Highness Di Ji."

Fu Wan said coldly, "Who are you?"

He was not annoyed either: "My minister's name is He Lan, and he is the second son of Prince Xian." He raised his head, revealing a fair face, one could tell that he had always been pampered.Song Helan smiled and said, "It's the Lantern Festival, His Highness came here alone to enjoy the moon. It's really a pleasure."

"Who said I was watching the moon alone?" Fu Wan didn't bother to look at him, and looked away, "Just passing by."

He Lan's smirk almost didn't hold back, and he said in embarrassment: "This... Your Highness is afraid that one of you will be lonely, why don't you talk with His Highness for a while?"

Fu Wan said indifferently, "Gu doesn't like to talk."

Song Helan: "..." He quickly lowered his head and glanced at his attire, wondering if something went wrong.

Talking about this Young Master Song, although his appearance is not top-notch, he is famous for his elegance among all the young men and brothers in the capital. Who knows that this woman doesn't think of him at all.

Song Helan frowned slightly.

If you ask him, this Di Ji seems to be nothing special except for her noble status - her facial features are not too outstanding, and her figure has not yet grown up. She looks shriveled and shriveled, which is quite different from the glamorous type he always loves.The sound at night is quite moving, but it's a pity that it's cold, without the slightest temperature.If it weren't for his father and brother's order, he wouldn't be bothered to befriend this ignorant woman.

Holding back his anger, he tried to strike up a conversation.

Fu Wan showed a look of boredom, and walked away.This time, the son became anxious, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?" Fu Wan said in a low voice, "Let go."

Song Helan had also drank a few glasses of wine during the dinner just now, and felt the delicate skin in her palms, and her mind was shaken, she never thought that this noble lady had such secret benefits hidden on her body.He got drunk and listened to Fuwan's reprimand, not only refused to let go, but rubbed it for a while.

Fu Wan was so disgusted that he was about to vomit, he threw him away and said loudly, "Come on—"

He Lan was caught off guard and thrown aside by her, leaned on the railing to stabilize his center of gravity, and leaned forward again: "His Royal Highness, there are only two of us in the courtyard. If you have any orders, just tell Xiao Wang directly, why bother to call those ignorant people?" slave?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover Fuwan's mouth.

However, before his hands touched the other party, he felt a huge force grab him from behind, his collar tightened his neck and he was strangled. Immediately, his feet left the ground, and he was lifted and slammed to the side.

It was Bai Chan who came.

She held the sword in one hand, with a stern look on her brows, and stepped forward to mend her foot.She was so strong that she kicked the little prince three times.

Song Helan got up in embarrassment, and her first reaction was fury: "Which bitch dares to spoil the king's good deeds?"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Chan kicked him over again, stepped on his chest, and said flatly: "Your father."
