Chapter 1178 A Li's Personal Inspiration
Wujin sinks to the west, the slanting sunset takes away the light, and the golden mist covers the westernmost corner of the Lanting Pavilion, and finally dissipates in the windward night lights that are lit up one after another.

As the yard was being tidied slowly, Fan Zhuyi's reading speed was also slow.

He tried his best to delay the time, and finally waited until the coffin lid fell completely.

Fan Zhuyi calmly put away the thousands of characters in his hand, looked at Shi Guoxin: "Okay, let's go."

Shi Guoxin was expressionless and let him go first.

The women headed by Mrs. Qu gathered outside the golden coffin. Mrs. Qu looked down at the inside of the golden coffin, frowning tightly, with an extremely serious expression.

The aunts and maids behind her passed through the gate all the year round, and they didn't show any big emotions at the moment, but it was dignified.

Fan Zhuyi walked, his steps were not too fast or slow.

When Mrs. Qu saw him coming out, she turned her head and gestured to her aunt beside her with her eyes.

So several aunts and maids stepped forward, trying to block Fan Zhuyi's sight.

But when Fan Zhuyi passed by with his eyes, he still saw the scene in the coffin.

He paused, and his face changed drastically.

Inside the coffin lay a dead body, wearing a mask of gold leaf and soft silk, and a long robe of gold thread and brocade, which was covered with agate pearls and jade. The corpse clasped its hands in front of its abdomen.

Although half an inch of skin is not visible, the skin may be completely rotten, but judging by the appearance and attire, it should be a female corpse.

What surprised Fan Zhuyi even more was the burial objects in the coffin.

There are two battle helmets next to the female corpse's head, one is a seven-star plate phoenix crown, and the other is a nine-dragon golden phoenix helmet.

By his side was an unsheathed bright silver long sword, and by his feet was a small blue and white incense burner.

Fan Zhuyi had never seen this long sword before, but he could recognize it at a glance as it belonged to the previous dynasty due to its style and the flying flying pattern on the sword.

"Aren't you leaving quickly?" an aunt scolded.

"I may recognize this person." Fan Zhuyi looked at Mrs. Qu, "I wonder why there is such a golden coffin and female corpse in the house?"

"Do you recognize this person?" Mrs. Qu asked.

"Madam, do you want to uncover this gold leaf mask?" Fan Zhuyi asked.

"I'll wait for Ah Li to come back," Mrs. Qu said calmly, "You can go."

Fan Zhuyi was unwilling to leave here, and said: "That woman is very busy, I am willing to help my wife with such matters."

Mrs. Qu stared at him fixedly, her face was not friendly just now, but now her face is completely dark, and she said slowly: "Get lost."

Fan Zhuyi tightened the thousand-character text in his hand, snorted angrily, and walked away.

After he walked away, Mrs. Qu exhaled and looked back inside the golden coffin.

The aunt behind her stepped forward: "Ma'am, what should I do next?"

"Go to the library to see if Prince Zheng Bei is honest."

Auntie thought for a while, and said: "Recently he is busy with Miss Ali's affairs, so should we continue to hide this golden coffin from him?"

"A Li didn't say no, so she kept it a secret." Mrs. Qu said.

Aunt replied: "Yes."

Aunt left quickly.

Mrs. Qu looked back at the golden coffin.

The golden coffin is a fake, half platinum, half brass powder.

The body is fake, and the inside is just a doll that can hold up the clothes and mask.

But the clothes, masks, and battle helmets are all real and come from the treasures of the previous dynasty hidden in Nianhuazhai.

The rest of the blue and white incense burner and bright silver long sword came from the Chen family in Xizhu Village outside Hengxiang City.

After Xia Zhaoyi broke into Chen's house at night, the Chen's house was destroyed and moved the next day. Mayor Pan and others sent all the found things to Hengxiang Mansion.

This blue and white incense burner and this sword are one of them.

Now that the play has been going on for a whole day, Mrs. Qu is worried that the other party will find out the flaws. After all, it is really deliberate to suddenly find a golden coffin in the courtyard.

I hope it is true as A Li said, in the land of Hengxiang, no matter what happens, no matter how deliberate it is, it will become unintentional.

The old masonry walls are covered with vines, especially in this midsummer, when the greenery is lush. When the sky sinks and everything is dark, many small insects crawl out and climb up the vines, while avoiding natural enemies.

With a "meow", the little black cat leaped to the roof by the vines.

Several servants in Qingyue Pavilion chased after it, one of them was about to climb up, the other grabbed him and shouted: "What is this?"

A few green leaves were startled by the little black cat and fell, and one piece was covered on a small stone pestle in the corner.

A servant squatted down, took the leaves away, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, there is something! There are words on it!"

He is not very literate, but it happens that he knows all these words.

The servant picked it up and read it word by word: "Ah Li, dear."

Yuexi Courtyard is located on a slightly higher terrain and is the highest point of the entire Qingyue Pavilion. There are more than a dozen osmanthus trees in the courtyard.

Wu Shaoning and the others have been waiting outside. In the mourning hall, Dai Yu sends people to ask how the situation is going from time to time.

Everyone didn't know that if they didn't take the initiative to open the door inside, they wouldn't dare to disturb them from outside.

The servant came over with a bag of things and the letter written "From A Li".

After hearing the reason, Wu Shaoning took it and put it on the stone table.

Not long after the servant left, people from Ning'an Building and Qu's Mansion arrived one after another, each with something to report.

However, the door of Wei Dongyou's bedroom remained motionless.

The lights were turned on in the room, and only Zhan Jiuye and Zeng Jishi who were standing by the bed helping each other could be vaguely seen. They walked around occasionally, but stood there most of the time.

As for the girl, judging by the light and shadow, she should have been sitting by the bed.

Time moves slowly, with no end in sight.

There was a bang outside, one slow and two fast, and the watchman walked slowly, shouting loudly.

The door of the room was opened from the inside at this time, and many people were already trapped, so they immediately raised their heads and walked over.

Zhan Jiuye and Zeng Jishi came out from inside, and heaved a long sigh.

Unable to tell whether it was joy, anger or sadness, Wu Shaoning and the others tensed up.

"Wei Dongyou, how is he?" Wu Shaoning asked in a low voice.

"He's fine," Zhan Jiuye said, "I woke up early, and Miss A Li was treating his wounds and chatting for a long time."

"I woke up from the pain," Zeng Jishi added, "What a man! He didn't even utter a sound of pain!"

Wu Shaoning looked into the house, wondering if he could go in.

"By the way," Zhan Jiuye thought of something, and said again, "Miss Ali just asked me to ask, did the servant who went to find Kitten find anything?"

"Yes!" Wu Shaoning said.

The companion closest to the stone table heard the words and immediately fetched the things on the table.

Inside the house, Wei Dongyou lay flat, staring at the beams, trying to recall the details in his mind.

Xia Zhaoyi was mending the wound on his arm.

The sharp silver needles pierced into the flesh, and the person who was stitched was silent, as if he didn't know the pain.

The person who is mending is not soft-hearted, the stitches are meticulous, and the size is just right. He will not add an extra stitch to make him suffer, and he will not take a missing stitch to hinder his recovery.

The room was extremely quiet, it seemed that what the girl was sewing was a piece of clothing, not human skin.

Zhan Jiuye carried the small bag into the room and called out in a low voice, "Miss Ali."
