Whose former residence
What is that word called?
The tiger's body shook?
Gui Yaomaomao moved stealthily behind Ren Beixi, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She felt as if her ears were burning and her breathing became anxious, but Ren Beixi was very steady. At this moment, his thin lips remained silent and he said nothing.
It’s so bad!
Gui Yao could only look seriously at the man in black kneeling on the ground again, her almond-shaped eyes trembling slightly: "Okay, please stand up quickly."
The men in black then stood up together.
Xiao Hui narrowed his eyes in laughter, nearly tugging at his bandaged wound. He was helped back to the nearby carriage. Then, the leading black-clad man reported, "General, Madam, the secret passage has been surrounded. Aside from the bodies of four wealthy merchants, no one else is inside the Wuhua Mansion. In the morning, Lu Qingshan issued an order to seal off the Wuhua Mansion. Anyone attempting to enter will be imprisoned."
Ren Beixi: "Did you find anything?"
All the ornaments and decorations in the Wuhua Mansion were of the highest quality. Gui Yao stared at the hanging painting for a long time, unable to comprehend why this original work was so priceless. The system in her mind slowly explained, "This is a poem written by the former prime minister for his beloved raccoon. Tsk, to hang it like this indoors is such a waste of natural resources."
"The cat is good, the man is bad." Gui Yao nodded and asked the subordinates behind him to roll up the painting carefully.
Apart from the innermost reception room, the winding paths in the mansion can be said to change the scenery with every step, unfolding a naked painting of gold and silver with spring, summer, autumn and winter as the guide. There is nothing but money and no valuable evidence.
Visit the entire Wuhua Mansion.
Finally, I returned to the secret passage.
Gui Yao saw Ren Beixi taking off the clothes he had used to disguise himself as a secret guard. All the secret guards in this world wear black clothes. Wouldn't they be unable to distinguish between friend and foe when fighting?
The man suddenly raised his eyes.
He untied the string of his thin coat and took it off from his broad shoulders. A faint red mark could be seen on his collarbone, as well as a bite mark half an inch below his chest.
"Yaoyao?" Ren Beixi's voice was deep.
He seemed to see the doubts in her heart, and explained in a calm voice: "Lu Qingshan's subordinates have one thing in common, they all have curly hair."
Maybe Lu Qingshan himself couldn’t see it.
The curly hair features of his subordinates were quite obvious, but Guiyao naturally thought of the scenery of Wuhua City. The people in the city loved flowers and birds and were keen on dressing up. Curly hair was the most popular trend, and tourists coming and going competed to imitate it.
This is an open conspiracy.
Gui Yao looked away awkwardly, biting her lip, her earlobe dripping with blood.
When the man had tidied his clothes and his slender knuckles rested on her shoulders, she felt a tight itch on her neck.
The arched wall cabinet in front of the secret passage was empty. At this moment, because the secret door of the secret passage was wide open, the wall cabinet that should have been close together was also split into two.
“This doesn’t look like wood.”
"Well...wood gets damp, so I just built a cabinet out of stone to prevent others from seeing what's inside."
Guiyao heard Ren Beixi say "hmm".
Perhaps because of the characteristics of the secret guards mentioned earlier, her ears were hot, and she was curious about how the secret guards around her used to identify them. However, after observing them for a long time, both openly and secretly, she couldn't see it. Finally, she had to come back to her senses and carefully search the cabinet in front of the secret passage.
"Where did you get the antidote from?" she asked.
Ren Beixi put his two fingers together and used 70% of his strength to shake open the switch of the secret compartment.
Leaning over to take a look, she saw that there was only half an antidote left in the secret compartment. Gui Yao was a little confused, and then she saw Ren Beixi throw back a dozen or so pills from his sleeve, and then told the secret guard to put them away.
This poison involves the northern border. Gui Yao raised her head slightly and saw that the man's usually silent eyes had become a little colder and harder.
The sound of gears rang out, and Ren Beixi opened the secret box on the other side in a different way, and the poison pills inside were also confiscated.
The remaining secret boxes are full of treasures and are of little use.
Gui Yao lowered her eyes and stared at the endless secret passage, frowning slightly: "I always feel that there are other roads or other rooms in the secret passage, but Lu Qingshan is nowhere to be found at the moment."
"There's always a fear of change."
She stared at Ren Beixi's furrowed brows, and suddenly stretched out her fingertips to smooth out the wrinkles on his face.
Even though I haven't rested all night.
Their eyes met, and Gui Yao also felt this insignificant favor from Ren Beixi's eyes.
"I want to go back to the inn and rest."
"good."
Finally able to leave the vicinity of the secret passage, she really didn't want to hear the voice in her head anymore.
She only took the initiative to let Ren Beixi hold her.
Gui Yao placed her ear against his chest, and finally the only sound in her ear was his strong heartbeat, boom, boom, boom, boom...making her feel relaxed and sleepy.
The inn was far away. She had originally intended to go out and take a carriage back by herself, so she could observe whether there were any changes in Wuhua City during the day. However, when she looked at the scene in her sleepy eyes, she found that the man was holding her and had been walking around Wuhua Mansion for a long time.
Finally, I walked into a small courtyard.
The man pushed open the door with one hand and looked inside. He saw that the furnishings in the house were neat and elegant, which was quite inconsistent with the luxurious layout of the Wuhua Mansion.
"Where is this?" Gui Yao's voice was as light as a feather.
Perhaps she was finally relaxed, and when she was carried to the bed, she simply lay in the man's arms and refused to move.
Ren Beixi's Adam's apple rolled.
After a while, he calmed the soft body in his arms.
Leaning on the bed, Gui Yao thought she would feel a hard touch again, but unexpectedly, she felt warm and soft cotton on the back of her neck. She resisted the urge to smell a familiar scent, hugged her pillow tightly, and moved away from the man sitting beside the bed.
Ren Beixi laughed a little.
His gaze lingered for a long time before he lifted it from his wife, who was curled up in a ball on the bed. He stood up, picked up the wooden basin from the wooden railing, went to the yard to fetch water, soaked a handkerchief in it, and sat back down beside the bed, wiping Guiyao's fair face clean. He heard her ask in a muffled voice, "Where is this?"
"Shortly after the late emperor ascended the throne, he traveled south in disguise to visit various cities and stayed here for a while." The man's voice was light.
Guiyao was greatly shocked.
I was so sleepy, but at the same time, my neck, which was resting comfortably on the pillow, felt itchy again, a feeling I hadn't felt in a long time.
etc.
"You, you want to sleep crowded together too...?"
"Um."
The faint sounds in my ears ranged from breathing to the gradually calming wind blowing through the bamboo forest outside the window.
In sleepiness.
Guiyao had a dream.
In her dream, she was holding a small bowl and sitting on the roof, looking into the distance. Xiaohe Village had a good harvest this year, and she often heard the village chief talking about it.
Downstairs, many people were talking and clamoring, as if they were looking for someone. Someone's child was missing? She didn't know. She was just slowly peeling the peanuts in her bowl and was about to eat them when her young uncle climbed onto the roof, came over angrily, and grabbed her clothes.
Peanuts were scattered all over the ground.
When she woke up, she felt that the bed beside her was cold.
She opened her eyes and looked out the window, only to see that it was already sunset.
Why did you sleep for so long?
The thin blanket on her body was covered. She stood up and found that there was a lamp burning beside the table, which seemed to have been lit not long ago. There was also a note on the table.
——Go back before dark and have some cakes to fill your stomach.
Ren Beixi's handwriting.
Gui Yao threw the note into the candle flame and burned it, then slowly stood up and stretched.
She had never seen such pastries before. A box sat neatly on a plate, its outer layer covered in white crust. What kind of cake did it resemble? Fortunately, Ren Beixi had a note: "Crispy as rose honey, sweetened with honey, leaving a sweet taste in your mouth." Guiyao took a bite and guessed correctly: a flower cake.
It tasted a little sweet. She lowered her eyes, found the kettle that Ren Beixi had prepared, and took a few sips.
Those bright almond-shaped eyes were quite excited at this moment.
The house where the ancient emperor lived?
She needs to have a good stroll!
Guiyao found a red candle in the cabinet, lit it from the lamp, and when she was about to light the lights around the room, she suddenly saw the painting in front of the lamp. It showed a beautiful girl with a red fragrant jade on her head and her white hands stroking the gurgling stream. It was so beautiful that people could not breathe.
Smoke curled across her brow.
She lowered her eyes to stare at the red candle in her hand and walked over. She saw the flame shine through the small hole in the pebbles in the stream on the canvas and project onto the distant wall. The closer she got, the larger the image became.
"The image becomes larger when the object is closer and farther away? No, that's the image formed by a convex lens..." Gui Yao frowned.
She first put the candle back on the table, carefully took the painting off the hook, and quickly ran to the yard and squatted on the steps.
Under her long eyelashes, she carefully felt the canvas to see if there were any other small holes, then she held up the painting and examined it again and again under natural sunlight.
This small hole is not only round but also the perfect size!
It is not easy to be found when hidden among densely packed stones, and it can be covered up by flaws.
But Guiyao believed that this thing must have its meaning when it appeared here.
layout!
Gui Yao trotted back into the room and looked around to see if there was any place in the room where she could hang the painting. The scroll was half her body length, and the paper was the color of jade. When she got close, she could smell the faint scent of ink, which showed how precious this painting was.
Unfortunately, there is no seal or signature on this calligraphy work.
There is only one beautiful woman washing her feet.
Why was it placed in front of the emperor’s bed?
So as soon as Ren Beixi entered the room, he saw his wife running around holding the portrait of the current queen.
He asked in a faint voice why?
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Guiyao, whose face turned red, was stunned when he heard the words.
Gui Yao suddenly felt the scroll in her hand grow heavy. Her eyes met the woman in the painting, and she shuddered. "Is this the queen whose phoenix drink broke the taboo? Jade clouds crush jade into dust, leaving behind a morning dream, startling a spring day. She's like an immortal."
She suddenly raised her eyes.
"That's it! This painting was painted by the emperor, so no one dares to touch it, so it remains here."
Ren Beixi smiled when he heard that. He raised the food box beside him and motioned her to look at it, but Gui Yao snatched it away. She held the food box in her left hand and the scroll in her right hand. When their eyes met, he seemed to see the cunning between her eyebrows: "I found a clue. You come with me... Oh, no need, I can lift it."
"Well, Yaoyao is the best."
Gui Yao felt that Ren Beixi was coaxing a child, but she still kissed him as a reward. She put the food box on the table and pointed at it.
So Ren Beixi carried her on his shoulders and handed her the painting. She hung the painting with both hands and pinched Ren Beixi's face with her palms.
Feeling stubble.
She patted her legs and asked him to put her down, so Gui Yao was held by the waist and landed on the ground. She clapped her hands, stretched out her hand, and her sleeves were rolled up, and she took the candle handed to her by Ren Beixi.
Teacher Guiyao’s lecture has started.
She used experiments as a supplement to tell Ren Beixi the pinhole imaging clues she had just found.
After that, she came over with sparkling eyes.
The man smiled and lowered his eyes as he said, "Ancient books record that people with bright lights are as warm as shooting stars. People who are lower than others are also higher, and people who are higher than others are also lower. The feet block the lower light, so the light is above, and the head blocks the upper light, so the light is below."
"That's right! So I suspect someone once designed this room in this way, projecting outside intelligence into this room."
The flickering candlelight flashed across her eyes.
Gui Yao waved her hand calmly: "I didn't mention the emperor at all."
"But now I'm curious about who this new emperor is, so let's solve the case quickly and go to Beijing. I don't want to stay in this weird rat city anymore." Gui Yao covered her ears and whispered.
