The heads turned pale. The gold foil was taken out from the interlayer of the boxes by the heads. Ordinary people might not be able to find this place. This can be seen from the fact that these boxes were brought into the Fengtian Palace by Fu Boyuan. Even the guards guarding the palace gates could not find the trick in the boxes, so how could the eunuchs in the palace find it?
"What is this?!" Emperor Xianzong asked Yu Xiaoxiao. He guessed what it was, but he just couldn't accept it.
Yu Xiao: "Insect eggs."
Xianzong asked, "What? What insect's eggs?"
Yu Xiao: "Insect eggs."
All the hope that Xianzong had in his heart was shattered by his daughter's words.
Seeing that the emperor was staggering and about to fall, the two chief eunuchs hurriedly helped Xianzong to sit on a chair.
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes twitched twice, looking at what her father had accomplished.
The eldest boss whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao, "Isn't that right? How can these insect eggs hatch without entering the human body? They are hidden in the boxes and cages, and no one touches them. How can these things harm people?"
Yu Xiaoxiao picked up a small octagonal incense box, opened it, and a rich fragrance wafted into her nose.
The boss and Xiao Wei both stretched their heads to look into the incense box. The incense was in paste form and dark brown in color, and there didn't seem to be anything strange about it.
Jade poked the ointment with her tiny finger.
Xianzong took a deep breath and asked his daughter with a dying mood: "Is there something wrong with this incense?"
Yu Xiao: "This is a big problem."
Xianzong's eyes went dark, but he still insisted and asked, "What's the problem?"
"There's human blood and human flesh mixed in here, uh, it could also be human internal organs," Yu Xiaoxiao said, shaking the small incense box in her hand, "This isn't incense, it's a container for raising poisonous insects."
"Are you sure?" Jing Mo asked.
"I'm sure," Yu Xiao said, "Although the human flesh was chopped into small pieces, I can tell that it can't be pork? Human blood mixed with pork?"
Xianzong felt nauseous from time to time. He looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard for a long time before he felt better. He turned his head and saw that his daughter was still holding the incense box. "Throw it away!" Xianzong shouted at Yu Xiaoxiao, "You are holding this thing and won't let go. What do you want to do? Don't tell me that you eat human flesh!"
People in the courtyard...
Yu Xiaoxiao put the incense box back to its original place and said to Xianzong: "Why are you angry with me? Dad, we were almost killed by that bald guy Mo Wen."
Xianzong was anxious, angry, frightened and scared, sweating profusely. He pointed at Fu Boyuan and asked Guining: "What are you going to do with this bastard?" It wouldn't be too much if he skinned this bastard to death, right?
Gui Ning glared at Fu Boyuan and said, "Answer Jing Mo's question first."
Fu Boyuan didn't say anything.
Yu Xiaoxiao squatted down and took apart a box. She looked at the interlayer of the box and said to Xianzong, "There is blood and flesh inside, it should be human, and there are also bone residues."
The boss rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes. He had just rummaged through these boxes.
Xianzong's face turned pale, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Yuxiao: "Can you shut up?"
Yu Xiaoxiao stood up and said to Emperor Xianzong, "What's the point of me keeping silent? Will Mo Wen not kill you if I keep silent? If these insect eggs hatch, everyone in your imperial palace will be turned into poisoned people."
A young eunuch in the yard fell to the ground, fainting from fright.
Jing Mo said to Xianzong at this time: "Uncle, let Xiong Xiong and the others stay, and everyone else should leave."
Xianzong waved his hand to the eunuchs, palace guards, and palace maids in the courtyard.
After a while, only Yu Xiaoxiao's group, Jing Mo, Xianzong, Gui Ning, and Fu Boyuan were left in the courtyard.
Jing Mo stood up and asked Yu Xiaoxiao first: "What should we do with these boxes?"
Yu Xiao: "The flesh and blood are fresh, so they must have put the Gu worm eggs and musk in before entering the palace. This kind of box must have been made by someone before entering the palace."
Xianzong said: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to ask in the city?!"
Yu Xiao: "Guji Wooden Furniture Shop."
The boss said, "Why does this store name sound so familiar to me?"
Yu Xiao: "There is an Lao Yang Baozi shop next door, we often go there to eat."
As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao mentioned Lao Yang's steamed bun shop, all the former pirates knew where the Gu Ji wooden shop was.
A former pirate asked, "Princess, how do you know which shop these boxes were made in?"
Yu Xiaoxiao bent down and picked up a box, showing everyone the bottom of the box. She pointed to a carved camellia and said, "This is an ancient character. You want to cover it up with a flower. Do you think I'm blind?"
Jing Mo walked forward to take a closer look. If Yu Xiaoxiao hadn't said anything and Jing Mo hadn't looked carefully, he really wouldn't have been able to tell that there was a word hidden in this camellia.
Xianzong said, "Are you sure it's this store based on an ancient character?"
"That store's sign looks like this, how could I have made a mistake?" Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xianzong with a pout.
The eldest head reported to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, the princess would not be mistaken. She has been to that store and even chatted with the owner of that store."
Xianzong asked Yuxiao: "You are still chatting with a carpenter?"
Yu Xiao: "I passed by that store many times, but I never saw any customers coming to the store, so I went to check on the boss. If he can't make money from selling things, he might as well do something else. Damn it, it turns out he's not a businessman, he's Mo Wen's spy!"
Jing Mo and Gui Ning looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess and were speechless again.
Xianzong wanted to kneel down to his daughter. He really didn't know that his daughter could be so worrying on a daily basis!
"You must have brought insufficient rosewood, so you used the rosewood from the boss's shop to make up for it," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Boyuan and said, "Do you think you can hide the truth by putting the rosewood from the shop at the bottom of the box and carving a flower on it? The boss is quite stingy and was reluctant to take out the whole wood. He just happened to have some marked wood scraps, so he used them. Am I right?"
Fu Boyuan..., it's really true.
"Xiao Wei," Xianzong ordered Xiao Wei, "Bring a team of imperial guards to close this shop for me, and make sure to capture the man!"
Xiao Wei received the order and ran away.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gui Ning: "Your eldest cousin is definitely Mo Wen's man, do you have any ideas?"
Gui Ning was confused by the princess' sudden cleverness. It was obvious that she couldn't even speak human language!
Seeing Gui Ning in a daze again, Yu Xiaoxiao became anxious and shouted at Gui Ning: "Speak!"
Guining looked at Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at Fu Boyuan and said, "Do you think he can do it? Now we are talking about your cousin!"
Gui Ning murmured to himself: "I, I don't know."
Yu Xiaoxiao jumped up and down, holding her head and said, "Oh my God, can the people of Xuanwu be happy?!"
The people in the courtyard..., whether the people of Xuanwu are happy or not, what does it have to do with you, the princess of Fengtian?
