Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 10 The fire in the East Palace is my autopsy

Added up, it was less than [-] o'clock, and we only met twice.

Ji Wuyan, however, probably already has a little understanding of the other party's temperament - straightforward, seldom in the city, and a little bit jealous, but it is a rare and clean material in this dyeing vat...

It's just that she doesn't know where she made her suspicious.

Shangguan Yuan has never mentioned this name in so many letters, so it can be seen that she did not know her before.Thinking this way, he said unhurriedly, "I passed through Qingzhou in my early years, and suddenly I stayed in Qingzhou for a few days due to floods... It is also a coincidence. My grandmother has no grandchildren, so I recognized him, but he always refused to call my sister. , insist on calling me a girl, and I will let him."

She didn't seem to notice Shen Luoxin's embarrassment, her words were gentle and calm, she seemed to say everything, but she didn't say anything to the point.

It's like scratching the itch, making people feel uncomfortable.

It's like you stand in front of a curtain that is half visible, and you can vaguely feel the completely different world behind the curtain, which can be opened by stretching out your hand, but someone binds your hand and only makes you watch.

You can see it, but you can't really see it.

Nervous enough to make her mouth dry, Shen Luoxin swallowed, the end of the eyes of the woman across from her raised slightly, her pupils facing the light were like magnificent amber, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

When we met for the first time, the man had closed his eyes, his appearance was completely ruined, only the bones of his body remained.At that time, she was thinking about what kind of eyes would be worthy of such a unique body... Now, she finally has the answer.

She picked up the teacup in front of her, drank it like a cow, and forced herself to stare at Ji Wuyan, but her eyes flickered, "You...you are very similar to someone I know."

For some reason, Ji Wuyan felt that the other party was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, his eyes full of expectations.

Her heart moved slightly, but her eyes didn't show any emotion, "So, it's fate... I really want to see you..." In the letters, she only said that she was fine, and the only time she attached a portrait in the letter, there was a half-smile in her eyes also no.

Shangguan Yuan said that the artist's skills are poor, and he can't draw half of the charm, but he doesn't say that the painter who painted for the royal family is so poor, how can he be so poor?But it was just Shangguan Yuan at that time, her eyes no longer had charm...

I really want to see you again... Sister.

"She..." Shen Luoxin bit the corner of her mouth, "You...you won't see her anymore."

Yes, I can't see you anymore.

The person who used to be connected to his umbilical cord and have the same blood, the person who was equal to the other half, I will never see him again... His chest twitched in pain, Ji Wuyan slowly lowered his head, his eyes were covered with thick and slender eyelashes In the end, he just said lightly, "That's a pity."

It's not that she doesn't want to ask, those questions are always on her lips, but she still can't ask... Even if she endures very hard, and her fingertips are exerting force, she is afraid of abusing grass.

Shen Luoxin was also enduring it.

She was almost sure that the one in front of her was Shangguan Yuan—since she was able to travel to a dynasty that had never existed in history, it would not be impossible for Shangguan Yuan to be reborn again, wouldn't it?

The so-called strange power and chaos... After experiencing it myself, I can accept it calmly.Even... vaguely expecting so.

For many years in this world, even though there is a mother who treats her wholeheartedly here, and a father who is in vain, she still cannot find a sense of belonging and identity that is reassuring.If the person in front of me is really reborn, then in a sense, are the two of them relatives in another sense in this world?

Between thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains and the vast world, is there a place that can be properly settled for the confusion and loneliness that float like duckweed and have nowhere to rest?
For this, she is willing to take a risk.

"That day when you and I first met, it wasn't the first time I encountered an accident... These days, I always feel that there are some eyeliners around me, and I have also met little thieves, maybe it's not a thieves..."

Ji Wuyan looked up slowly, his eyes were as calm as the sea.

Shen Luoxin held the teacup, and unconsciously picked the rim of the white porcelain teacup with her fingertips, seemingly hesitating and choosing her words carefully, "I don't know if these seemingly accidents have something to do with the fact that my mother hurt her wrist ...Mother is a maid, you already know it. The maid is lowly, but anyone who has other choices will not do this kind of job, so Dongyao women's work is scarce. And like the mother has some "status" I'm afraid it's the only one in a hundred years. That person, that person should have been tested by my mother, but...just before that night, my mother hurt her hand."

Ruhai's eyes instantly surged, and he couldn't hide the clamoring thoughts in his heart, his voice trembled, "You mean..."

What does this mean...

"Yes." No matter how difficult it is to say some words, once you do, you don't find it difficult. Shen Luoxin nodded, looking calm and depressed, "It's my autopsy."

A cool breeze blows in from the window, blowing away the heat of summer.

Shen Luoxin looked straight at Ji Wuyan.What she said just now was actually endless, and she didn't say anything specific, but this time, Ji Wuyan didn't pretend to be stupid and didn't understand, nor did she pretend to be an outsider lightly.

The tulle covering her face slowly fell to the ground, revealing the world behind the gauze curtain.

"The fire in the East Palace started at the time of Chen. It is said that the crown prince was discussing matters with His Majesty in the imperial study at that time. When the fire was extinguished, it was past noon, and in the Chongren Hall where the crown princess was... no one survived."

These are the contents that the historian has already recorded in the annals, and it is not difficult to find out.Less than a hundred words were rushed to the front of the case, and Ji Wuyan dared to lower his head to look at the pain in his palms. He just looked at it like this, and read it back and forth dozens of times. Now these words have been carved like a sharp knife. into the mind.

She slowly leaned back in the chair, with a serious face and a soft voice, "Go on."

Shen Luoxin looked at each other quietly, staring straight in the eyes, with a calm face, and narrated many details of the "accident", "Your Majesty was furious and sent Jin Yiwei to investigate the case. Jin Yiwei acted vigorously, but within half an hour, my mother was gone." I was taken to the East Palace. I dressed up as a servant carrying a wooden box and went with me."

"It's an extremely humble job, but that person is extremely honorable. The Donggong couple are very affectionate. It is said that the scene was extremely chaotic at that time. His Royal Highness even had his sword out of its sheath, and frantically stopped Jin Yiwei from taking her body away. In the end, it was Empress Yi who ordered her mother to conduct an autopsy on her in the side hall of the East Palace."

The woman's voice was lonely, and her emotions seemed to fall to the bottom of the abyss without any waves. Her eyes were big, the pupils were round, and her eyes were dull and dull.

Ji Wuyan looked at the maturity and calmness on the other person's face that didn't match his age, and suddenly felt...he might have misread this person at first.
