Chapter 62 Your Majesty Treats Master Chu So Kindly

Chu Wuhen's expression froze: "Entered the Golden Capital? And then? Where are you hiding?"

Xin Ying showed shame: "I don't know, this subordinate originally disguised himself as a member of this group of assassins, followed them all the way, and heard that they were coming to find the master, so he planned to continue to follow, but when he passed by a mountain They suddenly said that they wanted to check their identity."

"How to check?" Chu Wuhen keenly sensed something was wrong.

Xin Ying's ability to sit at the head of Jiying Building not only depends on her superb martial arts, but also her excellent ability to imitate and disguise.

Jiyinglou has a lot of dealings with Nanjiang. Xin Ying pretended to be a Nanjiang person without revealing anything, but now she is seriously injured. It is only possible that she was exposed.

That means they have a special set of identity verification methods.

Sure enough, Xin Ying said after a moment of silence: "They all have a kind of secret tattoo, which is invisible at ordinary times, and it is no different from the skin of normal people, but as long as they are sprinkled with a special potion, a pattern of peony flowers will appear. .”

"Peony?" Xie Shuangge was surprised, "Southern Xinjiang believes in saintesses, and the most admired is snow lotus. How can you stab peonies?"

Chu Wuhen also asked this question, and Xin Ying shook her head and said, "Seeing that those people are acting as usual, I don't think there is anything wrong, so I suspect that this may have something to do with the master they said, maybe that person likes peony. Flower, this tattoo is unique to him."

Chu Wuhen was thoughtful: "In this case, it is not impossible, Peony..."

"Only the peony is truly beautiful, and when the flowers bloom, the capital moves (1)..." Xie Shuangge suddenly asked, "Could it be that their master is a woman?"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Chu Wuhen's eyes froze, and he remembered these words in his heart.

"Where are their tattoos?" He asked Xin Ying.

Xin Ying said without hesitation: "At the back of the neck, when they wanted to check their identities, the subordinates wanted to stand by and see how they could fool them by imitating them. Unexpectedly, they stepped forward one by one, and an old man in a white robe and a bamboo hat was there. Put your hand into the potion, and then slap each of them on the back of the neck, and within a short breath, they all appeared, and the subordinates had no time to react, so they could only get away immediately."

She touched the muslin wrapped around her abdomen and smiled wryly: "They are not weak, this subordinate really stumbled this time, and almost couldn't come back."

"I don't blame you for this. It's because we have too little information about southern Xinjiang. I have never heard of this kind of invisible tattoo before."

Chu Wuhen's words are not consolation. There is a custom in southern Xinjiang that he investigated before. People in southern Xinjiang like to have tattoos on their bodies. No matter men or women, nobles use tattoos as a symbol of status. The clearer and more complete the tattoos, the more varied the colors , the higher the status, the men are happy with beasts, and the women are often decorated with snow lotus and phoenix birds, but there is never any mention of invisible tattoos.

Either, it was researched later, or it was unique to a certain person.

Chu Wuhen had a direction to investigate, stood up and said to Xin Ying, "Any other clues?"

Xin Ying thought about it carefully, and said hesitantly: "This subordinate suspects that they have important people in Jin to support them. Master, please be careful."

"Understood, you have a good rest, Xin Wu will be back soon, let her take a look at it for you when the time comes. If you need anything, just ask the servant girl to do it, if you can't, just find Xin Lu."

"Okay." Xin Ying responded, Chu Wuhen didn't say anything, turned and went out.

……

Xin Xing also came back, walking up and down under the eaves, with a rare anxious expression.

Chu Wuhen saw him at a glance, and called out, "Xin Xing."

Xin Xing immediately raised his head and walked over quickly, "Master, how is Xin Ying?"

"The spirit is fine, and the injuries on the body are a bit serious, but they are not life-threatening."

Xin Xing's expression relaxed when he heard this, "That's good."

Before he could speak, Chu Wuhen said, "Go in and have a look, but don't stay too long, she is a girl after all."

"This subordinate understands." Xin Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then the tips of his ears turned red.

Xin Zhi watched Xin Xing go in and followed, "Master, do you still want to check?"

Chu Wuhen lowered his eyes and glanced at him: "Of course we have to investigate, not only to investigate, but also to uproot them. From today on, let the people in Jiyinglou in Jindu be vigilant. Anyone who has a abnormality in the back of the neck will be punished. Those who come from other places, especially those from Luonan City, must be strictly monitored."

"Yes! This subordinate will do it now."

"Also—" Chu Wuhen said in a deep voice: "Have someone go to southern Xinjiang to secretly investigate peony tattoos to see if there are any clues about the potion. Research research."

"Yes!"

Xie Shuangge saw that he kept the matter of Nanjiang in his heart, he was relieved, and said softly: "Thank you, otherwise this matter would have been exposed long ago, and so many things would not have been found out, this time it is me I owe you a favor."

Chu Wuhen shook his head, walked under the pear tree in the courtyard and said softly, "I'm not only doing this because the princess cares, but also because I have another level of selfishness."

"What?" Xie Shuangge was puzzled.

But Chu Wuhen didn't answer any more. That matter was too dangerous and involved a lot. He couldn't let anyone know without conclusive evidence, not only for keeping it secret, but also for the safety of others.

Sometimes it is safer to be ignorant.

Seeing that he was silent, Xie Shuangge didn't ask any more questions, but lowered her head and thought of her parents.

If the parents have spirits in the sky, don't know how disappointed they would be?
……

Xin Ying entered the city under the cover of Xin Zhi, and no one noticed. Everyone thought it was a member of Jin Yiwei, and after inquiring about it, they gave up without any news.

After all, Jin Yiwei is not easy to get along with, if you mess with them, you will have to be skinned, so everyone tacitly bypassed them to do their own business.

Not to mention that Xin Ying lived in the Chu Mansion, which can be called an impregnable fortress.

So the night was calm and nothing happened.

The next day Chu Wuhen went to look at Xin Ying again, seeing that she was still sleeping, he asked people to keep an eye on her, and if she had a fever, he immediately called the doctor and left for the palace.

Coincidentally, Gongsun Ye also entered the palace today.

The two met at the gate of the palace, Chu Wuhen got off the sedan chair first, turned his head to look at the carriage frame here, stepped forward and saluted, "His Royal Highness King An."

Gongsun Ye got off the sedan chair, his plain white brocade robe stretched out like water, and fell neatly, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Lord Chu."

Chu Wuhen raised his hand: "My lord, please—"

Gongsun Ye was not polite, he took a step ahead, and turned his face to talk to Chu Wuhen, "Master Chu wears a flying fish suit at a young age, which shows his holy favor."

Chu Wuhen pursed his lips, "Your Majesty loves me so much, my humble minister is terrified."

Hearing that Gongsunye glanced at him, he said enviously, "That's great. If Your Majesty treats me a ten-thousandth as much as an adult, I will be satisfied."
