Xiaoman and Shuangjiang have been isolated for too long and have only a vague idea of what is happening outside these days.
While they were waiting for their young lady, Xiaoman went out to buy some food. As she walked along the road, she heard the people of Nanxia talking about things like "appearance of gods", "Lord Crane", and "palace coup", as if she was listening to a divine book.
Facing their master, the two did not ask too many questions and only mentioned how they were rescued.
Frost was very careful and said hesitantly, "Speaking of which, we both lost consciousness at the time. When we woke up, we saw a note slipped through the crack in the door. The handwriting on the note looked familiar."
"I know who saved you, but it's not convenient for him to show up now, so you don't have to think too much about it." Shen Huaixu said.
Grain Full and Frost Descent respond in unison.
There is a small open space not far from the imprisonment of Grain Full and Frost Descent. Beside it is a tree of Albizia Julibrissin. Numerous leaves flutter in the wind, and many branches and leaves are scattered on the ground as if they had been destroyed.
The land under the tree seemed to be dyed dark brown by something, and you could smell a strong fishy odor when you passed by.
Frost noticed something was wrong at a glance. She couldn't help but frown and said, "A lot of people must have died here."
She and Xiaoman looked at each other, shock in their eyes. They could feel that something unusual had happened last night, but they didn't expect it to be so tragic.
Shen Huaixu just followed the two people's gaze and didn't say much.
After making arrangements for Shuangjiang and Xiaoman, Chen Huaixu saw that it was still early, so he went to buy some things that might be used in the palace.
On the way back to the palace, when she passed by the Princess's Mansion, she found that the street outside the mansion was crowded with people, and the people stopped and looked on.
She asked the little girl closest to her, who was about eight or nine years old, "Kids, what are you looking at here?"
There were a few friends around the girl, chattering loudly. When Shen Huaixu interrupted them, they all looked at her.
"You don't even know this?" The little girl covered her mouth mysteriously and said, "The eldest princess suddenly went crazy last night. I heard that she took out a weird thing and held it tightly, running wildly on the street. As she was running, the thing suddenly exploded and she was hit directly. The medical diagnosis is not accurate. Many people say she won't survive!"
As soon as Chen Huaixu heard it, he knew that what Qiao Man was holding must be fluorite, and it was her own fault.
However, she has always been curious about how Qiao Man found the fluorite mine. According to her understanding, the conditions for the formation of fluorite are very harsh, otherwise there would be no record of it in this world.
I always feel that Qiao Man has a lot of good things here, Shen Huaixu thought.
"Sister, you asked and I answered, so giving me a copper coin is not too much, right?" The little girl saw Shen Huaixu standing there without saying anything, and stretched out her hand with a smile.
Her movements were extremely natural, and it was obvious that she had had many similar experiences before.
Seeing that she was wearing patched linen clothes but clean and tidy, Shen Huaixu asked, "Would you choose between the copper coin and the sugar painting?"
While shopping, she saw that the old man had good craftsmanship. After watching for a while, she bought one and put it in her space.
The little girl's eyes lit up, and without thinking, she said, "Sugar painting!"
She looked at Shen Huaixu suspiciously again and pointed at her hand, "But you don't have anything in your hand."
You can't put the sugar painting on your body, right?
"I can make it for you." Shen Huaixu was in a good mood to tease the child. He imitated the magician on TV and made a few gestures. Soon, a koi sugar painting appeared on his hand.
She held the bamboo stick and handed it to the little girl with round eyes, "Here."
"Wow, that's amazing!" The little girl took the koi and beamed with joy. "Sister, are you a fairy too?"
Chen Huaixu shook his head. "I'm not a deity. Where in the world are there deities? Have you ever seen one?"
The children nearby had already been craving the aroma of malt sugar and were eager to speak up, "I've seen it, I've seen it!"
“A lot of people have seen it!”
"The fairy can fly in the sky, and has a pair of white wings - how amazing!"
…
Chen Huaixu was thoughtful. "So our Nanxia Kingdom is blessed by the gods? Then why did our eldest princess go crazy at this time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the voices around suddenly quieted down, and many adults came closer and pricked up their ears to listen.
The little girl holding the sugar painting asked naively, "Did the princess do something bad that she is no longer blessed by the gods?"
Chen Huaixu shook his head, his face pensive. "Who knows? I heard that the eldest princess was a very quiet and kind girl when she was still in the royal courtyard. Two years ago, she had a serious illness. After recovering from the illness, sometimes she seemed like a different person... In this case, it makes sense that she was possessed by some evil spirit..."
As she spoke, she seemed to have just realized where she was standing. Seeing the crowd gathering in front of her increasing, she waved her hands hurriedly and said, "These are just my guesses. Don't take them seriously. I'll take my leave now."
As she said this, she disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, a group of guards walked out of the Princess's Mansion and began to drive away everyone with expressionless faces.
"No one is allowed to stop or linger in front of the Princess's residence. Violators will be dealt with by us!"
Some people were unable to avoid it and were kicked, rolling several times on the ground and unable to get up from the ground.
Chen Huaixu had already escaped from the crowd with his agile body. At this moment, he was lying at the corner of the wall, with only his eyes exposed, looking at the crowd.
The person who was kicked was a man, with a plump figure and a simple appearance, but he could not stand being bullied. He panted for a while and started to throw a tantrum, "Ouch! Ouch! My leg!"
After shouting for a while, a guard drew his knife and put it on his not-so-obvious neck. The guard said nothing, just looked at him.
The man shrank back and lowered his voice. "Sir, I couldn't bear the pain and cried out a few times. I didn't mean to disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess. I'm leaving now, leaving now!"
He said soft words that sounded cowardly, but he was cursing in his heart. Thinking about what the little girl said just now, he thought she was just a charlatan, but now he changed his mind.
If the eldest princess was really as beautiful as a fairy and had a kind heart, how could she have such a rude and barbaric guard? He secretly made up his mind that in order to live up to the eldest princess's appearance, he would spend money to confirm this guess!
Shen Huaixu, who reluctantly acted like a charlatan, took one last look at the Princess's Mansion, and thinking that he would have to come again at night, he left in a hurry.
Although she had not had much contact with Qiao Man, she learned from Fu Yin that the eldest princess this time was not a single soul, which meant that the original eldest princess was dead.
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. You can't take the blame for someone's death and put all the sins on the dead. Isn't that immoral?
It would be fine if Qiao Man died this time, but if she didn't, it would be terrible. What awaited her was a life worse than death.
