Southern Qi Fenghua Record

When Xia Houshu asked the question, he imagined that he would get Bai Shao's eyes, but Bai Shao didn't mean any mockery, just smiled and said calmly: "Yes, but not all of them."

Xia Houshu felt that Bai Shao was a very forthright woman, and when asked her, she answered most of them very frankly, but when it came to critical moments, she cherished words like gold, either had no comment, or only half-spoken. This sentence is so ambiguous that it makes people scratch their heads.

Xia Houshu took a deep breath before asking, "What do you mean?"

Bai Shao smiled sadly and said: "I remember when I was young, my mother liked flowers, and my father planted flowers all over the yard. My sister and I often fought in the flowers. My sister also liked flowers when she grew up. Those men wanted to get her Just do what I like, it was like this in Majiazhuang, and it was the same in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the place where she lives is always full of all kinds of flowers. But my sister doesn't know flowers, she only knows their beauty, I don't know its poison, and I don't know that Prime Minister Wang found her all poisonous flowers. She travels among them every day, picks and enjoys them, and it is inevitable that she will be poisoned. Over time, she will not live long. But it is not the one who killed her in the end. The flowers planted in her yard are a kind of poison called kite feathers."

After Bai Shao finished speaking, she took a look at Xia Houshu again, and saw that she looked confused, so she patiently explained: "It is said that the kite feather is a unique plant in Xiyue country. When it blooms, the petals are purple, and it looks like the common iris. The flower, usually planted under the eaves of the roadside, is inconspicuous. However, it is very toxic. The refined kite feather toxin is light purple and has a slightly bitter taste. It is usually dropped in the diet. After people take it, there will be no pain at first What is abnormal, but immediately there will be signs of poisoning, accompanied by a strange smell, and finally the whole body will fester..."

The symptoms of poisoning were indeed exactly the same as Yinxiang's description of Yi Wu's death.

Xia Houshu seemed to have heard a big secret, she was both surprised and delighted, she didn't expect to find out all the things she hadn't figured out after searching for so long at Bai Shao's place today.But she thought about it again, if Yi Wu's death was because she read Wang Chonghou's cipher text, then the reason why the emperor wanted to investigate this matter would be the same?So who actually wrote the ciphertext to Wang Chonghou, and what was it about?

Bai Shao's chest was still aching, this discomfort forced her to stare at Xia Houshu, and warned: "God knows what happened today, you know and I know. I tell you that I hope you will Don't get involved, otherwise, I will never show mercy."

Xia Houshu also didn't want to meet her again, but she heard another mystery from Bai Shao's words, so she asked: "You mean, the son of King Ling doesn't know that you are investigating these things?"

Bai Shao smiled slightly and said: "Our sisters have been used by others all our lives, and we can't control our own life and death, but why do we have to accept our fate? Since they all think that we are pawns, why can't we treat them as pawns?"

Xia Houshu was confused, and wanted to ask something, but Bai Shao turned and went out, clutching his chest.

Picking such a big bargain for nothing, Xia Houshu suddenly felt that the trip was worthwhile, and then she lay down on the couch with her eyes closed and rested her mind, until everyone came back happily, she pretended to be half drunk and half awake and was taken back by Xia Houyi .

After returning from the paddock, Xia Houshu quickly wrote down the results he found and tied them to the legs of the pigeons and sent them out.Except for the fact that Bai Shao and Yi Wu sisters exchanged identities, they did not confess, and everything else was truthful.She also specifically mentioned the kite feather, a plant that should have grown in Huashan country.

In fact, Xia Houshu loves the Tong family sisters very much. They are as delicate and beautiful as flowers. They have suffered misfortune since they were young. They have been used all their lives and become pawns on other people's chessboard. They are still working for the people who harmed them until their death. It is pitiful and sad. exasperating.It's just that everyone has their own way of life, and she can't control it.

At the same time, Xia Houyi also brought her another piece of news - Yu Wensheng, the king of the mausoleum, has a secret force called Qunfanghui, which is dominated by women, and wears the Baihua Ling as a token.

So the place where Bai Shao keeps silent is probably Qunfanghui.

It took Xia Houshu a while to regain his composure, and then he went to find the imitation white jade plaque hidden in the box at the foot of the bed, presented it to Xia Houyi and asked, "Is this the Hundred Flowers Order you just mentioned?"

Xia Houyi picked up the jade tablet and looked at it for a while before asking, "Where did you get it?"

Xia Houshu bit his lips and said: "The first time I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw Wang Chonghou holding such a jade tablet. I couldn't find any other clues at that time, so I drew it from memory, and then I found a piece of jade and asked Yunxi to go out and imitate one for me. Later, Bai Shao confirmed that the real peony flower jade tablet belonged to Yi Wu. In this way, both Yi Wu and Bai Shao belonged to the Qunfanghui .And the fact that Prince Ling and his son have been addicted to female sex all these years may be able to explain it."

Xia Houyi pondered solemnly, and after a while, he asked: "Besides you, Yunxi, and the shopkeeper of the jade shop, is there anyone else who knows about this jade plaque?"

Knowing that this matter could not be concealed, Xia Houshu replied honestly: "There is also Chang Weng from Cang Lan Zhai. I made a copy of this jade tablet and I went to ask him. Chang Weng has a wide range of knowledge, and he saw it at a glance. It’s a counterfeit, and I was told that this thing is related to the Mausoleum Palace. That’s why I started to track it down from the Mausoleum’s mansion in Jingzhong. I was also worried that someone would see it, so I gave it to Yunxi for safekeeping, but..."

Just hearing the word "just", Xia Houyi felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Just what?"

Xia Houshu curled his lips and said, "The last time Yuhu checked my account as soon as I came back. In order to prove that the money was spent by me, I asked Yunxi to show her this jade plaque. Everyone here is here, they should all have seen it..."

Her voice was a little less confident when she said it later.

"Xia! Hou! Shu!"

Xia Houyi almost gritted his teeth and called out her name, then grabbed the jade tablet, walked around the room several times like a headless chicken, pointed at her and shouted angrily: "You just like to think you are smart! Such a big thing I don't ask, and you don't tell!"

Knowing that he had done something bad, Xia Houshu hurriedly comforted him: "Most of the people in my yard are arranged by my mother. Even if there is something, they will at most report to my mother, and they don't know the special meaning of this thing. It should be something wrong. will talk nonsense."

Xia Houyi was so angry that he jumped up and down, knowing that even if he scolded her, it would not help.He thought over and over again, then suddenly stopped and said to his sister: "Shu'er, you can't stay at Changqing Gate any longer."

"Why?" Xia Houshu was stunned for a moment, "Second brother, I know that something went wrong this time, but you can't completely deny me just because of this!"

Xia Houshu was really in a hurry right now.It took her a lot of effort to enter the Evergreen Gate, and what she sees now is just the tip of the iceberg of the Evergreen Gate, and she hasn't found any clues about the elder brother, so how can she just quit?

Xia Houyi put his hand on his forehead and tried to calm himself down. Fang patiently explained: "Yu Wenke has already doubted your identity. As for how much he knows and what he did in private, I don't know. But that day Bai Shao pretended to send you away When Jiu Tang sneaked into your tent, I saw it, and Yu Wenke saw it too. But he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, and he still talked with us with a smile on his face until after the dinner. You think about it carefully, why did he do this? Don't you want to tear my face apart?"

"What did you say?" Xia Houshu was shocked, "He saw Bai Shao coming to see me?"

Xia Houyi nodded and said: "Not only that, he also deliberately dismissed the other maids who were going in to take care of you, otherwise do you really think that those are all made by Bai Shao?"

Xia Houshu was immediately discouraged, she didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

Listening to Bai Shao's meaning that day, she knew that King Ling was using their sisters, and she hated her, so Yu Wenke didn't know about many things she did.But Xia Houyi said that Yu Wenke clearly saw Bai Shao coming to see him in private, but pretended not to see...

So Bai Shao thought that Yu Wenke didn't know, but Yu Wenke was actually pretending, right?

So, does Yu Wenke know that Bai Shao is actually the real Yi Wu?

If he knew, but indulged Bai Shao to continue the investigation, then this matter would not be easy.

Of course, all this is based on what Bai Shao said is true.

Xia Houshu looked at his elder brother again, and said worriedly: "Second brother, Bai Shao told me a lot that day, and I have no doubts. Tell me, did I do something wrong?"

Xia Houyi said: "I don't know exactly what Bai Shao told you, but the reason why she went to see you is probably because she hoped that you would stop investigating. Bai Shao is not simple, he is very good at disguising or Using other people to cover myself, my people followed her secretly for a long time, and were thrown off by her several times."

After hearing this, Xia Houshu became even more unconfident.After thinking about it again and again, she decided to tell Xia Houyi about the exchange of identities between Bai Shao and Yi Wu.

Xia Houyi was really shocked, didn't recover for a while, and murmured: "No wonder my people sent a letter saying that Bai Shao used to be from Majiazhuang and inherited all the property of Majiazhuang, so it turned out to be so!"

Xia Houshu continued to analyze and said: "Bai Shao told me that she and her sister were sent to a place to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and the art of controlling people for nearly ten years. Now it seems that place should be the head of the Qunfanghui. And The old servant I found before was punished by Yu Wenke to go to Zhuangzi, he also told me that Yi Wu lived in the Lingwang Mansion for three days before entering the Prime Minister's Mansion. The old servant was precisely because he ran into Yu Wenke and Yi Wu It is not a coincidence that Bai Shao is now Yu Wenke's favorite concubine. Maybe Yu Wenke knew Bai Shao's sisters a long time ago."

From this point of view, she can't believe everything that Bai Shao told her.

Xia Houyi saw the worry in his younger sister's eyes, which made him more determined in his decision, so he lowered his tone and said, "This matter involves a lot, Shu'er, it's not that I deliberately made it difficult for you, but that Changqingmen is no longer In the old Evergreen Sect, even an uncle has a lot of helplessness, so you must not affect the Evergreen Sect because of your affairs."

Xia Houshu didn't know Changqingmen as deeply as Xia Houyi did. She only knew that the dark net of Changqingmen spread all over the world. If one day she could break into its core, she might be able to find out the truth about the whereabouts of her elder brother.The position of head of the sect is passed on from male to female, so my uncle chose Xia Houyi as his successor, but the commanders of the four departments under the sect and secret envoys from all over the place are not divided into men and women, so she can also become the help of my brother in the future.

She quickly grabbed her brother's sleeve and begged, "Second brother, help me again!"

Xia Houyi pulled her fingers off his sleeve one by one, and said solemnly: "Shu'er, I can't help you with this matter."
