Marriage Under the Heavens - Chapter 188
Before leaving, Chu Feng looked at Shang Sisi and grinned, “This second princess of Yunshao Country, I saved your third sister’s life, so you don’t have to thank me. You should thank Jiuye, If it were not for her to beg me, I would not treat you three princesses.”
Shang Sisi smiled reluctantly, “I know this.”
“You know, you know it. She waits for the third princess without sleep. She is more dedicated than your sister, and she is so tired that she is sick. You should be grateful. I have to tell you about your third sister’s injury. Although it is stable, his life is also saved, but his appearance is damaged after all, and I have to rely on my craftsmanship in the future.” Chu Feng said coldly.
Shang Sisi smiled awkwardly again: “The genius doctor said yes!”
Only then did Chu Feng Leng nod his head relievedly and left.
Shang Sisi put away the smile on her lips, and the sunlight shined through the window ridges, casting a hazy light and shadow in the room. And Shang Sisi, standing among the light and shadow, has a beautiful face and a sad expression, but his eyes are sharp. She stared at Qin Jiu and asked coldly: “I’m here to tell you that Chu Chu really saved his life under the magical hands of the genius doctor. I am very grateful to you for inviting the genius doctor, and thank you for serving my third sister last night. . But this does not dispel the doubts in my heart. Do you know? A few days ago, I have heard others talk about the Fourth Prince, he has been your attendant for a long time, and he has long loved you. It is said that you have long been between you There was an affair. Last night, the fourth prince went to the post and said something to Chu Chu, I don’t know. If you make me believe that the fourth prince is innocent, unless you find the person who set the fire.” Shang Sisi didn’t know she was Durian’s sister, so she splashed such dirty water on her and Durian, she didn’t blame her. However, she will not let go of the person behind the rumors.
“I and the fourth prince are innocent. If you want to know what the fourth prince and Chu Chu said, I will ask him. Now I want to know who said that I was having an affair with the fourth prince?” Qin Jiu Said with a smile, but a cold color appeared in his eyes.
Shang Sisi smiled faintly, “If it is really a rumor, the person I want to tell me is definitely not the maker of the rumor. However, I have investigated this matter and it came from the palace.”
Qin Jiu narrowed his eyes, and it seemed that the current palace was still not clean!
She ordered someone to call in durian.
“His Royal Highness, the second princess really wants to know, that night, what did you say to the third princess in the post? Could you tell us?” Qin Jiu asked in a low voice.
Durian looked down at Qin Jiu, he remembered that she was much taller than him at the beginning, but now, his size has already surpassed her. She wanted to see him, but she wanted to look up.
He watched Qin Jiu look at him with a smile, and there was no reproach in his eyes, but they were full of care.
This is his sister Xuan.
He had no chance to see his mother, since she was a young girl from a very young age, she came to take a portrait of him every birthday and celebrate him. Most of the rest of the year he is looking forward to his birthday. It can be said that the mother’s queen is just a shadow he imagined, and Sister Xuan is his real relative.
He respects her and loves her.
He knows how much she has suffered for his today. Whenever he thought of the pain she had suffered back then, he was frightened. If she can’t live a stable life, how can he do it? Therefore, he has to watch her find his destination. Only when she is stable can his heart be stable, and he can marry and have children.
“On that day, I went to the post house, apart from saying goodbye to the third princess. I also discussed with her that I wanted to postpone our marriage for a few more years. Chu Chu was not happy, but she finally agreed.” Durian said softly. .
Shang Sisi sneered and said: “If you say this, my third sister will naturally think that you are now the fourth prince and don’t want her anymore.”
Durian was surprised, “I, I didn’t think so, and Chu Chu wouldn’t think so. Now, as long as Chu Chu wakes up, no matter what she becomes, I will marry her immediately and take care of her for the rest of my life.” Durian is very clear. There is a layer of mist in his eyes, but no one can see the decisiveness in it.
Shang Sisi stopped speaking. She glanced at Qin Jiu and said clearly: “Then I hope the four princes will find out the culprit of the arson soon.”
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, the corners of his eyes flew diagonally, and a pair of phoenix eyes were deep and not bottomed. “Second princess, don’t worry, we will investigate and deal with the arsonist as soon as possible.”
“Then we’ll wait!” Shang Sisi glanced at Qin Jiu, then turned and went out.
Qin Jiu decided to go to the Yunshao Country Post House. Although the fire would burn everything, Qin Jiu believed that there would still be some clues left.
Loquat stayed in the Fuzhong and instructed the maids how to take care of Shang Chuchu. Qin Jiu went to Yunshao Country Post with Yan Yu, Durian, and Shang Sisi.
Seeing Qin Jiu, Yuan Ba hurriedly greeted him, and said solemnly: “This is very tightly sealed, and no one comes in. Please go in and check the prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and Jiuye.”
Yan Yu nodded and said, “Last night the guard of Yunshao State said that in the fire last night, someone spilled flammable objects outside Chuchu’s house, and finally threw them into the house with colored glaze bullets, blowing up the door to death. , Which blocked the way for Chu Chu to escape, and also prevented the guards from entering the rescue. The person who dropped the glass bullets is probably a master.”
Indeed, there are many guards at the Yunshao National Posthouse. Although the guards are not as strong as those of Dayu Palace, they are also strict. This person can enter the posthouse as if no one is in the country. I am afraid that light work is very good, not a small one. What to do.
Several people led Xiaoqi and the criminals investigating the case separately, but they did not find any clues. Finally, Qin Jiu came to the ruins of Shang Chuchu’s house and stood still. She looked around and saw a big tree behind the house. It has entered winter, and there are only a few remaining yellow leaves on the branches waving desolately in the wind.
Qin Jiu’s eyes fell between the branches of the trees, and Dai’s eyebrows frowned. She remembered that in Linglong Pavilion that day, the person who claimed to be Dou Sini was hiding in a big tree and shooting arrows towards Shen Feng. This tree is facing the rear window of Shang Chuchu’s house, and the best position is to throw indoor colored glass bullets from here. Moreover, if the person wants to observe the movement of Shang Chuchu in the room, it is only the most suitable on this tree, which is easy to hide his figure and see clearly.
Qin Jiu walked under the big tree, imagining that she was the one who set fire. She performed light work and gently jumped up to the tree. From a branch, she looked towards the ruins, and then turned up higher. The branches on the first floor, at this position, can happen to see Shang Chuchu’s house.
Qin Jiu looked at the tree for a moment, imagining that he jumped down like that person and walked straight to Shang Chuchu’s room.
Yan Yu didn’t know when he came over, and suddenly said to her: “You should stop first.”
Qin Jiu stopped and looked at Yan Yu with some doubts, but Yan Yu looked at her feet.
Qin Jiu followed his gaze and saw that the land under his feet seemed a little different from the land elsewhere, which was mixed with fine sand.
Yan Yu walked to her, squatted down, and reached out to dig out the dirt under her feet. He grabbed a handful of soil and opened his hands in the light of the sun. Qin Jiu saw a little red sand in his palm.
“Second princess, why are there such red sand here?” Qin Jiu asked.
Shang Sisi frowned and said, “This is the red sand that Chu Chu brought from our country of Yunshao. She likes to grow flowers. This is for planting gentian flowers. Gentian flowers are unique to our country of Yunshao. Yuguo doesn’t have it. You can only live on the red sand.”
Qin Jiu’s heart moved. If this is the red sand that is unique to Yunshao Country, then it is rare in Dayu Country. Last night, if the arsonist was indeed looking at Shang Chuchu’s house from this tree, then when she jumped from the tree, she would definitely leave footprints here. Her eyes flowed around the tree, and she saw many footprints. However, there were not many people walking around here last night to fight the fire. There are several pairs of jumbled footprints on the ground, and it is difficult to find which one is the person who set fire.
Qin Jiu suddenly remembered that Mu Yufei had said that the man who tried to assassinate Shen Feng in Linglong Pavilion was dressed in a man’s clothes, but he was not tall, and his clothes looked very generous.
The man was not a man, but a woman.
If the person who set the fire is also that person, then the footprints left here should be the footprints of a woman. Last night, the people fighting the fire were all Yunshao State guards and Xiaoqi. They were all men with larger footprints.
Qin Jiu looked around the tree for a while, then pointed to a pair of footprints and said, “These are the footprints of the arsonist.”
The footprints of the pair were obviously smaller than those of others, and the footprints were also deeper, which was obviously caused by the strong force on the ground when jumping from the tree.
“But what can you see with such a pair of footprints?” Shang Sisi asked with a frown. It was just a pair of footprints, she didn’t think she could find out anything.
Qin Jiu crouched down and stared at the footprints on the ground.
“Perhaps, this pair of footprints can’t tell us who the person who set the fire is, but they can tell us where she is. We will check on this clue, and I believe we will find out soon.” Qin Jiu looked at the footprints with sharp eyes. Like fire, the corners of his lips smile deeply.
Yan Yu walked over with his hands, squinted at the footprints, and vaguely saw the shape of a flower on the heel, and the corners of his lips were gently hooked.
Qin Jiu stood up and said, “Master, I hope you can allow me to visit Yeting.”
The pattern on the soles of this pair of shoes is exactly the kind of shoes that Yeting criminal slaves would wear. The man who wanted to come to the arson did not change the shoes that he usually wore. In fact, she didn’t need to change it. After all, even if she left footprints, there were so many women wearing this kind of shoes in the court, it was almost impossible to find her.
However, that person did not expect that there was red sand on the ground of this land.
