Crown Jewels

Chapter 179

"Sir, you want to say—"

He thought to himself that the two people in front of him were smart, so Qian Wuzuo nodded slightly to them without hesitation.

"After the coffin was opened, the flesh and skin on the face of the deceased were separated. I believe you both saw it. During the autopsy, I found that in addition to the cinnabar under the deceased's body in the coffin, more cinnabar had penetrated into the flesh on his face."

"As early as in the "Miscellaneous Notes of the Pre-Qin Dynasty", it is recorded that a small mouth is opened on the face of a stranger, and the cinnabar is infused with cinnabar, and the gas is swollen like a bubble, and a whole raw hide can be obtained, but the process is extremely painful, just like evisceration.

As Qian Wuzuo said, a bit of unbearable expression appeared on his face.

"Moreover, this process is extremely painful, and the whole process also needs to be tested while holding your breath, so as to ensure the complete peeling off of the skin and blood."

"Orb—"

Song Yan held the woman's arm, the fingertips in his hand were cold, and the penetrating cold could be sealed into the bottom of one's heart. Gu Baozhu closed her eyes, only feeling the pain of being pricked in her chest. Blocked by a boulder, the whole person was a little out of breath.

Gu Baozhu caressed his chest, and a picture suddenly flashed across his mind. In the lingering sick bed, the tall and cheerful man was lying on the sick bed, dying to feel everything that happened outside, feeling the blade piercing his cheek, feeling The pungent cinnabar was poured into the flesh, and then the swollen air bubbles tore apart the flesh. The piercing pain made me want to call for help, but my right hand, which was raised with all my strength, fell down halfway...

"Sir, what do you mean, he, he didn't die from poisoning, but was actually skinned by cinnabar and tortured to death?"

The woman's lips were pale, and the cold eyes on her forehead were drenched in broken hair. Her whole face seemed lifeless, but she was staring at the gray teeth, and her weak tone was squeezed out between the teeth.

"That's right—"

Rao has dealt with corpses all the year round, he has been in contact with a lot of swords and spears, and he has long been used to bloody corpses and flesh and blood. Now when he confirms that the deceased was infused with cinnabar to death, he still feels a little bit unbearable.

……

The autumn wind brings coolness, and the cold winter passes.
The grand scene of the eve of the evening has passed, and February will soon be ushered in when the winter snow melts.

The Chunwei presided over by the Ministry of Rites was successfully held in the Gongyuan of Lin'an City, and the spring apricot in front of the courtyard bloomed with blush petals in the corner.

Beside the garden outside the Taiji Palace, the eyes were full of pink and white scattered into mud. In the tall and large palace, Gu Jun lay sideways on the dragon chair, and placed the memorial in front of Gu Baozhu.

Seeing this, Gu Baozhu picked up the apricot flower cake presented by the maid, and together with the apricot flower girl who was prepared in the dining room, handed it to the empress Gu Jun who was sitting crookedly, and then calmly picked up the bright yellow cake Memorial, call to see what's inside.

Ever since the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, Gu Jun had asked her to stay in the palace by name. Gu Baozhu didn't want to go back to Prince Gong's mansion, but the empress' intentions were exactly what she wanted.

These days, Gu Baozhu accompanied Gu Jun in the imperial study, and Gu Jun handed her courtiers' memorials more and more frequently, and Gu Baozhu was not as panicked as he was at the beginning.

However, the content of this memorial is somewhat different from what Gu Baozhu saw before. This memorial actually came from Turkic, the old Shanyu Huyan Modun who hadn't been in touch with Yan State for some time.

Scanning the black letters on the bright yellow paper, Gu Baozhu was a little surprised, this memorial was actually a Turkic memorial, asking for tribute from the Kingdom of Yan!
Gu Jun chewed a mouthful of apricot blossom cake casually, the scent of the flower filled her throat, although she felt a little sweet and greasy, she still took a few mouthfuls, and then put it on a blank porcelain plate, and the golden armor hit the dragon handrail one by one , with a lazy demeanor but concealed an indelible aura.

"What do you think—"

Gu Baozhu thought for a while, but still felt a little puzzled, so he simply answered truthfully.

"Auntie, Baozhu doesn't understand!"

"The Turks and our court have not communicated for several years. Baozhu has never seen how close they are to our dynasty in the assassination of the ancient academy. Tribute—”

Gu Baozhu shook his head, with some helplessness in his tone.

"The gifts offered by the court are not rare in our dynasty, but willing to come to the country of Yan is the kindness that the Turks have voluntarily released like our dynasty. Is it possible that they really want to bow their heads to my country of Yan?"

Gu Jun, who was lying sideways on the dragon chair, raised the tails of her eyes slightly at Gu Baozhu's words, and her white fingertips subconsciously rubbed the dragon horns on her head, but she didn't help her answer, she just rubbed her temples by her temples, and her eyes casually glanced at the melody in Gu Baozhu's hand continue to ask.

"What do you think, if you are, what should you do?"

Gu Jun's words made her scan the memorial in her hand again, trying to get more information from just a few words, and thought for a while.

"Although Turk's intentions are unpredictable, and the intention of surrendering this time is still unclear, but—"

Gu Baozhu curled her lips, but still said what was in her mind.

"But if it's me, I'd still open the gates of my country of Yan and treat him with courtesy."

The moment she finished speaking, Gu Jun who was sitting on the dragon chair suddenly opened her eyes, her waist straightened up with a bit more strength, and she looked towards Gu Baozhu with approval.

"Treat him with courtesy—"

Gu Baozhu said it easily, but knowing that Gu Jun praised her words, her uneasy heart was really put into her stomach. Although she was still a little depressed when she proposed to treat her with a Bentley, but this time the empress Gu Jun Her performance is enough to show that the two of them wanted to go together.

Such a tacit conclusion can be reached because of the current situation of Yan State.

Not long ago, the memorial of the old champion Hou came from the northwest, which aroused heated discussions in the court. The Xia Kingdom bordering the northwest border has some ambitions. In recent months, wars have continued. The four barbarians serve", even real knives and guns must be used with some scruples.

What's more, when the Turks took the initiative to seek peace, other small Yi countries must also wait and see. Only by accepting the tribute can the Yan State show its magnanimity.

Therefore, treating him with courtesy is an inevitable result. However, because of the assassination of Huangu Academy earlier, it is difficult to say how much my aunt can believe in the sincerity of Turkic!
This point will naturally be clear when the Turkic envoys enter the court.

The apricot blossom wine on the table was mellow, and the two discussed the topic tacitly.Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Jun took another sip of the apricot blossom wine, thinking of the successive examinations and palace examinations in the early spring, her eyes showed a little relief.

"Today, should it be the day when the imperial city releases the rankings?"

Gu Jun's sudden change of topic made her slightly stunned, and Gu Baozhu's smile also brought a bit of teasing teasing after recovering.

"Since ancient times, there have been a lot of interesting things in the imperial city, and I don't know if there will be a joke about catching a son-in-law under the list this year." As he spoke, Gu Baozhu shook his head lightly, and he didn't hide his pleasant words when he looked at Gu Jun.

"Congratulations to my aunt, she has recruited a lot of pillars for my country of Yan in the palace exam!"

Greeting Gu Baozhu with smiling eyes, the bright girly color feasts, like a newly blooming willow branch in spring, and the new buds glow with vigorous vitality. Gu Jun is infected by the freshness of the girl, and can't help but feel She tapped Gu Baozhu's forehead and smiled slightly.

With such an intimate posture of Gu Jun, Gu Baozhu wrapped her arms around her aunt's arm, gently leaned on her shoulder and acted like a baby, the girl's dependence on her was easily felt, the empress raised her eyebrows slightly, only felt that Baozhu has been so kind to her in recent days It seems to be closer.

"Baozhu, I remember that female classmate of yours in the ancient academy, she should be called Shen Lanqing, right? Come, tell my aunt, how is she doing?"

As Gu Jun said, she stroked the dark hair on the back of Gu Baozhu's head with one free hand, showing a kind of love and affection that was different from the usual dignified manner.
