Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 646 Utilizing Tools

Although it was very cold in the yard, everyone's interest was very high. It seemed that the people who were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes and couldn't even move a finger just now were not them at all.

The guards of the Duke's Mansion acted quickly. Under the leadership of Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, they set up the racks for the barbecue and lit the fire in the courtyard within the time of a cup of tea.In order to prevent everyone from freezing, Jin Miaomiao specially ordered them to set up a few more charcoal pots.Not only that, but she also told those guys on a whim to wear more and thicker clothes, lest they wake up the next day and find themselves sadly sick.

Everyone sat around the fire, and while roasting, they chose their favorite ingredients from the ingredients that Jin Miaomiao brought, and put them on the rack to roast.

Song Jue and Song Qiyun quarreled over a bunch of fish balls, and Bai Meng pretended to watch the fun, and took the opportunity to seize the food and took the fish balls for himself.The Song family brothers instantly unified their positions, grabbed the commander, scratched his creaking nest for a long time, saw him rolling on the ground with laughter, gasping for breath, begging for mercy, and then let him go mercifully. .

Jin Miaomiao boiled wine for everyone, and when she saw the three people making a mess, she shook her head helplessly. If word of this got out, who would believe that the mainstay of Daxia was actually a bunch of childish ghosts in private!

Shen Cha held a cup of crispy stewed pigeon soup, drank half of it, and felt a little full. Seeing that Shen Haolin next to him had already finished his own share, he took advantage of the opportunity to stuff his own into someone else's. hand.

"Miao Miao, come!" Shen Cha waved at Jin Miao Miao, "I have a question to ask you."

"What?" Jin Miaomiao sat over and touched Shen Cha's hand first, it was not as cold as imagined, so she was relieved. "It's about the Gu worm on the old lady?" Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha nodding together, she sighed, "You want to know why Aunt Xue and her brothers and sisters were not affected by that Gu worm, but instead It is His Royal Highness Ning who has been tortured for so many years, right?"

"That's right, do Gu worms have their own ideas and choose their own people?"

"It's not that magical, it's just..." Jin Miaomiao sighed again after glancing at the Song brothers and Bai Meng who had come together after chasing and fighting, "What I'm going to say may offend you a little." To His Majesty's ancestors, please forgive me."

"What you said is the truth, there is no offense at all." Song Jue took a bite of the freshly baked fish balls and said vaguely, "I can probably guess what you are going to say, you want to talk about the vomitus on your grandmother The worms were actually fed with the blood of the Song family, only when the Gu worms met the Song family would they have such an effect, right?"

"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded and took a sip from the small wine glass, "The imperial concubine who was found to be a secret worker, her real identity is a witch of their tribe, and she is very good at using Gu insects to control others. The old lady's natal family's position It is consistent with Daxia. The witch probably thought that they were traitors of the tribe, and they defected to Daxia for the sake of prosperity and wealth, and betrayed their own people, so they used this relatively vicious method. The girl becomes the imperial concubine again, and the prince she gives birth to will either die young or be like His Royal Highness Ning Wang, which is also a kind of revenge."

"Although I don't know much about this thing, this Gu worm should not be raised overnight, right?" Shen Cha frowned and said, "It should be that she came to Daxia and started raising it after she married into the palace. ?”

"That's for sure." Jin Miaomiao nodded towards her, "As far as I know, it will take at least ten years for this Gu worm, from when she married into the royal family to when she was found out..." She looked at Song Jue , "If I remember correctly, it should have been fifteen years."

"Seventeen years and three months." Song Jue finished eating a bunch of fish balls, then took a duck leg from the shelf and gnawed on it, "It is clearly recorded in the file of Zongzheng Temple, such a long time is enough .”

"Brother Huang also suspected before that the Gu worms on grandmother's body were planted by this imperial concubine?"

"Yes!" Song Jue nodded, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip, "The timing was just right, but my grandmother was still very young at that time, only two or three years old, that person Putting Gu worms on her body, aren't you afraid that you will miss or fail?"

"No, the age is just right." Jin Miaomiao turned over a few strings of fish balls that were grilling on the rack, and put a small soup pot on top, with some vegetables boiled in it, "Your Majesty said before, Emperor Chongyi The Empress Dowager once objected to the old lady marrying into the palace, and when she was choosing a concubine, she was eliminated without any reason, which should be the reason."

"I think so too, that's why my grandfather didn't resist, but acquiesced to the Empress Dowager Chongyi to do this. My grandmother also knew why she couldn't be with my grandfather, so she married her with peace of mind." Song Jue held her hands. The bamboo stick tapped the grill lightly, "The next question is, they all know that two people can't be together, let alone have children, so why did Uncle Ning appear in this world? Why did he have to bear such a burden?" pain and suffering?"

"It's a last resort, and there should be some difficulties." Shen Haolin pondered for a moment, then looked at Song Jue, "With all due respect, His Highness Prince Ning is probably used by them to get rid of... To be precise, it should be to get rid of something. That is to say, he has been used as a tool since he was born, and he himself is very aware of this, so he can feel the desolation, determination, and even desperate aura emanating from him."

"I agree with what brother said." Shen Cha felt a little cold, wrapped the cloak around her body tightly, and rubbed against Shen Haolin, "Master Bai and Uncle Bai are dissatisfied with the old lady, father and mother are deliberately alienated from Aunt Xue, This should be the reason." She looked at Song Jue, who was deep in thought, "What kind of cruel truth is hidden behind that so-called big secret? The key point should be on His Royal Highness Ning Wang. That's why the old lady is so desperate. She would rather His Highness Ning Wang suffer all his life than let him be born in this world. Similarly, only this can explain what we found before Why do those things make us feel weird and unreasonable, he..." She sighed, "he is fighting against his own destiny."

"Agreed, he is not only fighting by himself, he even dragged us into it, or we have been part of this game from the very beginning, but we didn't know it." Song Jue smiled wryly, "So, no matter Whether it is his own case or his aunt's case, it is all a set, in order to lure us into the game. But Uncle Ning has connections with Uncle Dai Wang, Uncle Qing Ruo, and even many important officials' residences in Xijing. Because he knows everything, even in the imperial mausoleum, he can guide us to investigate, and what he finds is what he wants us to know, and what he doesn't find, we can't let us know for the time being."

"Brother Huang, do you mean that the case between him and his aunt was actually a foreshadowing for us to investigate the so-called shocking secret?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Song Qiyun looked terrified, "What kind of secret is it?" , can actually use human life to make a game?"

"I don't know about this. Seeing how they are facing a formidable enemy, the opponent must not be easy!" Song Jue smiled at Shen Haolin, "Also Haolin, there is a sentence you said that is not particularly accurate, not only Uncle Ning is The tools used, so are we."
