The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 326 Rats eating wood
Xie Jiuhuan didn't know what happened in the mourning hall while she was sitting on the steps looking at the flowers. Anyway, she and Lin Deyi were about to walk to the back door of the mourning hall. With her inhuman hearing, she didn't hear anything in the mourning hall. movement.

"If you don't speak, why don't you cry a few times?" Xie Jiuhuan and Lin Deyi muttered: "Why is there no reaction at all?"

Lin Deyi said: "Wei Shengwen can't cry."

"Then his acting skills are still not good," Xie Jiuhuan looked at the mourning hall getting closer and closer, stood on tiptoes, stretched his head, and said to Lin Deyi, "I can't see anything."

You can't see the inside of the mourning hall from here, so what can you see?Xie Jiuhuan was joking, but Lin Deyi was not amused by her. The fourth young master frowned at the paper horse placed at the back door and said, "Do you need so many?"

Lin Deyi roughly counted the paper horses placed in the open space outside the back door of the mourning hall, and there must be at least hundreds.Lin Deyi has never seen a funeral, but who has made hundreds of paper horses?
Xie Jiuhuan: "She is the Queen Mother."

Lin Deyi: "Is she going to Huangquan to open a racecourse?"

Lin Deyi's expression was so serious when he said this that Xie Jiuhuan couldn't be sure whether he was telling the truth or joking.

"Shall we enter the mourning hall through the back door?" Lin Deyi asked Xie Jiuhuan at this time.

Xie Jiuhuan: "Isn't this not good?"

Isn't this a bit sneaky?If there is a front door, why would they use the back door?
Lin Deyi: "There is something wrong. Why do we have to come here?"

Xie Jiuhuan didn't know that they just walked like this and came to the back door.

"These paper horses are pretty good," Xie Jiuhuan looked at the densely packed paper horses in front of him. This kind of paper horse art, when there are more of them, it becomes scary to look at them.

Lin Deyi looked at the paper horse and said nothing, and Xie Jiuhuan couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The two of them walked to the back door of the mourning hall and stood down. Not unlucky, they stood among a pile of paper horses.Although both of them are not short, the paper horses are tall, so the two of them are drowned in a pile of paper horses.As long as they don't make any noise, it won't be easy for people in the mourning hall to spot them.

In the mourning hall, Chief Minister Wei led the ministers to kowtow to the Queen Mother, and there were Taoist priests ringing the bell.

Xie Jiuhuan now felt as if she was suffering from Taoist PTSD. When she saw the Taoist priest standing at the altar ringing the bell, Xie Jiuhuan felt bad.

"There can be no problem with him," Lin Deyi held Xie Jiuhuan's hand and whispered, "He is a member of the Holy One."

Unless he was a trustworthy person, Emperor Xuan Jing would not have arranged for this Taoist priest to ring the bell in the mourning hall.

Xie Jiuhuan didn't care, she was already ill now. Looking at any Taoist priest, she felt that this person was not a good person.

"Is he targeting the Queen Mother's coffin?" Xie Jiuhuan asked Lin Deyi in a low voice.

Lin Deyi: "No."

Lin Deyi told the truth, and the Taoist priest did not look at Zi Coffin. The Taoist priest lowered his head and concentrated on ringing the bell.

Xie Jiuhuan squatted on the ground. With his head lowered, he couldn't look at the coffin?She felt that the Taoist priest was peeking at the Queen Mother's coffin.With your head down, you can look upward, right?
Xie Jiuhuan squatted down, and Lin Deyi also squatted down. Then he found that their sight was blocked by the huge catalpa coffin. Not to mention seeing the Taoist priest, they couldn't even see the altar table.

"Jiu Huan," Lin Deyi called out to Xie Jiu Huan in a low voice.

Xie Jiuhuan's eyes were straight at this time, staring blankly at the Zi coffin in front of him.

Lin Deyi: "What's wrong?"

As he asked, Lin Deyi followed Xie Jiuhuan's gaze, and then he was stunned.

The catalpa coffin is placed on a wooden frame. Because the catalpa coffin is too large, when people stand and look at it, they can only see the huge and beautifully carved catalpa coffin, but not the brackets underneath.

Lin Deyi and Xie Jiuhuan squatted and watched seven or eight mice chewing on the left front leg of the bracket.Not only these seven or eight mice, but also many mice were queuing up under the coffin, as if this piece of wood was some of the world's most delicacies.

It is said that there is a sound when rats eat, and the sound is not quiet, but the hanging curtain blocks part of the sound. The louder chanting inside and outside the mourning hall, as well as the sound of Taoist priests ringing bells, overwhelm the sound. The sound of rats gnawing at wood.

"The coffin is far away from people," Lin Deyi also found a third reason, telling Xie Jiuhuan: "It's far away, and people can't hear what's going on under the coffin."

Xie Jiuhuan: "We can study the issue of sound later. The problem we have to solve now is that the wood will be chewed up by the rats." One leg of the bracket was broken, and the Empress Dowager's coffin did not fall off the bracket. At least it has to be crooked.

"With such a big coffin, it won't be damaged if it falls to the ground, right?" Xie Jiuhuan asked Lin Deyi.

The left front leg of the bracket must have been tampered with, otherwise, the rats wouldn't just stare at this piece of wood and chew on it.Xie Jiuhuan is now curious, what will happen next after the coffin falls from the bracket, or just moves its position?

If this is not the case, then the coffin must be opened, right?

Lin Deyi couldn't figure it out either. He didn't know as much as Xie Jiuhuan about this matter, so Lin Deyi shook his head at Xie Jiuhuan.

Xie Jiuhuan: "Okay, then at least we can't let the coffin move today."

Lin Deyi: "Shall we go in and hold the Zi coffin?"

Xie Jiuhuan: "Can we touch the Queen Mother's coffin casually?"

This issue is also very important, otherwise they would not have allowed Chief Wei Wei's conspiracy to open the coffin to succeed, but they would still have fallen into it themselves.

Lin Deyi was thinking.

Xie Jiuhuan: "This is no joke. Think about it carefully."

Lin Deyi thought to the end and said: "It should be untouchable."

Xie Jiuhuan: "Oh, then we can't help directly."

Lin Deyi: "Why are there so many rats?"

Xie Jiuhuan: "Fourth Young Master, now is not the time to worry about mice."

Lin Deyi: "Why are there rats in the palace?"

Xie Jiuhuan: "..."

Why can't there be rats in the palace?The earth is the happy home of rats and mice. As a human being, how dare you have an opinion?

Lin Deyi: "Did someone let him in on purpose?"

Xie Jiuhuan moved her mouth and whispered: "Don't worry about the mouse for now, the supporting leg will break soon!"

Lin Deyi stopped talking.

Xie Jiuhuan: "How about we put a stone on it first? But how are we going to get in?"

Squatting in a pile of paper horses, it is not easy to be discovered. If you enter the mourning hall...

Xie Jiuhuan looked at the coffin of Empress Dowager Wei. She felt that she was bending her waist from the back door. If she sneaked in secretly, no one would notice her.

"I'm going to find a stone," Xie Jiuhuan whispered to Lin Deyi.

Lin Deyi tugged on Xie Jiuhuan's sleeve and pointed to the left, asking Xie Jiuhuan to look at the corner.

"So what..."

Xie Jiuhuan only said three words, but she stopped. There was a man standing in the corner. Judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a Taoist priest.

Xie Jiuhuan almost fell ill again, why is he a Taoist priest again?
"If we go in, he will definitely be able to see us," Lin Deyi said.

Xie Jiuhuan: "..."

It's so annoying. Can she take two bricks, one to cushion the coffin for the Queen Mother Wei, and the other to knock the Taoist priest unconscious?
