Chapter 720 Yuehai, something happened!

Chapter 720 Yuehai, something happened!

Rong Leng took out the nail again.

Liu Wei took it, but suddenly opened the window of the car, put the nail under the strong sunlight, and observed it intently.

Just now with a glimpse, Liu Wei happened to see Rong Leng put away the nail and passed by, while the curtain of the carriage was swaying, and the light from the window fell on the corner of the nail, and there was a faint white light.

How can wood reflect light?

If it is reflective, it should be metal.

This time Liu Wei looked carefully at the sunlight, and sure enough, there was something shining brightly on the corner of the wooden nail.

Something is wrong.

Liu Wei threw the Sanskrit book aside, took out the scalpel she was wearing, and scraped against the surface of the nail.

After a while, the wooden layer of the nail was gradually scraped away by Liu Wei, and there was a thin piece of iron inside.

Wood hides iron, why?
Liu Wei's expression was very focused, as she rubbed her fingers back and forth on the small iron, suddenly, she felt something was wrong with the hem of the clothes.

Looking down, Liu Wei saw that the strands of thread on her belt were trembling faintly.

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and she stuck the thin iron to her belt, and sure enough, it stuck.

This is no ordinary iron, but a magnet.

Magnets have existed since ancient times, and the most familiar one is the compass, one of China's four great inventions.

What does it mean that there are magnets hidden in this wooden peg?
Liu Wei couldn't figure it out, so she simply took out the soul-calling nails from the bag, only to find that out of the five nails, only two had magnets inside.

Holding and rubbing those two magnets alone, Liu Wei frowned again.

Liu Wei is not sure whether the direction of her doubts is correct.

The people in the palace certainly wouldn't be killed by these religious objects, but what do this nail and the magnet on it represent?
The carriage went all the way back to Kyoto.

When they arrived at the gate of the city of Kyoto, they could hear the hustle and bustle outside.

Liu Wei was so focused on the nail, she didn't care about it, and didn't look at it until the carriage was stopped.

The driver is Qin Zhong after Yi Rong.

After Qin Zhong talked outside, he turned around and said to the two people in the car: "My lord, it belongs to Jing Zhaoyin. They said that something serious happened in the palace. Now the city gates are under martial law, and no one can go in or out. My lord , we seem to be unable to get in."

Liu Wei finally came to her senses, put away the nails, raised her head and lifted the curtain of the car, and looked outside.

Sure enough, Liu Wei saw that the gate of the city was full of imperial guards. Although the gate was not locked, a fence was placed and guarded by strict soldiers to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

"What's going on?" Liu Wei frowned, after asking, she suddenly thought of something and wondered again: "May it have something to do with the empress dowager?"

According to what Xiang Yi said, today should be the day when the concubine returns to the palace.

This is the only thing Liu Wei can think of.

Qin Zhong shook his head: "This subordinate doesn't know, please wait a moment, my lord, and then I will inquire again."

Qin Zhong's identity comes from Zhengemen, but now, he is pretending to be a big inner guard.

Liu Wei wanted to call Qin Zhong back, fearing that there would be some trouble, but Qin Zhong had already jumped off the carriage and walked towards the Imperial Guard.

If he called again now, it would look weird instead, so Liu Wei could only sink his mind and wait quietly for the result of Qin Zhong's inquiry.

After a while, Qin Zhong came back, but he shook his head towards the carriage.

"The subordinates showed their identities, and the imperial guards knew everything. However, they didn't know what happened in the palace. They only said that the whole city was under martial law. I heard that it was not about the empress dowager. The empress dowager should return to the palace in the evening. , it's just after noon."

Liu Wei frowned, really didn't understand what was going on.

Rong Leng patted Liu Wei's hand, stood up, and jumped out of the car neatly.

Liu Wei looked through the window of the carriage, and saw Rong Leng and Qin Zhong walking towards the imperial guards together.

And the two accompanying eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also dealing with the imperial guards, but even if they showed the palace order, the imperial guards were not lenient at all, and they really carried it out sternly and selflessly.

And just when Liu Wei was feeling restless, he saw a carriage parked beside their carriage.

The owner of the carriage was obviously also curious, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. After looking at it for a while, he murmured: "Could it be that what you said is true?"

The speaker is a young man.

Liu Wei didn't know the identity of this young son, but looking at the texture of the carriage, he knew it wasn't from a wealthy family, so Liu Wei simply started talking: "Young master, do you know what happened?"

The young gentleman looked at Liu Wei from a distance, pondered for a moment, and said: "I have heard it occasionally, and I don't know if it is true, if it is not true, I am afraid it is a rumor, so young master, I am sorry."

Liu Wei smiled at the young master, and said: "Speaking of which, I just went out of the city yesterday to find my cousins ​​who lived near the suburbs of Beijing. Today, when I returned to the city, I became like this. Since you have heard the news, it must be true, otherwise , just overnight, where did the news of nothingness come from?"

The young man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "People who are in the south of the Yangtze River entered the suburbs of Beijing yesterday. It was getting late and the city gate was closed, so they stayed in an inn near the suburbs of Beijing. Last night, a night guest knocked At the door, when I went to the clean room, I happened to hear the night guest talking to the inn clerk, saying that something big happened in the capital, and I only listened to it with two ears, but I didn’t hear everything, and I never thought that when I entered the city today, I really met someone. When it comes to obstacles, I think what Ye Ke said may be true."

Liu Wei asked, "What did that night guest say?"

The young master was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Yes, there is a nobleman in the palace who died."

Dead again?

Liu Wei's eyes sharpened unconsciously, just at this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Rong Leng had already returned.

Liu Wei thanked the young master, then put down the curtain of the carriage, and looked at Rong Leng.

Rong Leng's complexion was slightly dark, his brows were tightly frowned, and he said solemnly: "There are rumors in the palace that Yuehai is missing."

Princess Yuehai?

Thinking of what the young man said just now, Liu Wei asked reflexively, "Just disappeared?"

Rong Leng looked at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei shook her head: "It's not that I'm mean, I just want to make sure."

Rong Ling lowered his eyes, pursed his lips for a while, and then said: "Perhaps, he is dead."

Liu Wei didn't quite understand.

"The imperial guards kept their words vague. They only said that there was an accident in Yuehai, and the palace ordered the city gates to be closed and no passage was allowed until the 'person' was found."

Liu Wei took a deep breath: "Then..."

Rong Leng interrupted Liu Wei: "But he didn't say whether to find Yuehai or the murderer."

Liu Wei was also speechless for a while.

Liu Wei gritted her teeth when she thought that Princess Yuehai still had six soul-calling nails. If the princess really died, it would be considered...

Liu Wei suddenly felt that her heart was really tight.
