When Bai Ruoxuan came to see her, the maid was dressing up the third lady. When Bai Ruoxuan said that the culprit of this strange incident had been found, her eyes lit up and she asked eagerly: "Who is the culprit?" Bai Ruoxuan said mysteriously: "I can't tell my aunt yet."
Sanniangzi smiled and said, "Are you afraid that aunt will not give you a reward?" Bai Ruoxuan said, "My aunt always keeps her promises, but I will tell her from the beginning after everyone arrives." Sanniangzi said: "You are a weird girl. You must be up to some tricks. Okay, I will let go of those political matters today and follow your wishes."
Bai Ruoxuan lay on her back like a cat, hugged her neck and said, "My aunt is the most caring."
In the palace garden, there are three short tables placed on an open space, with melon and fruit snacks placed on the eucalyptus tables. In the middle one sit Sanniang Zi and Bai Ruoxuan, on the left side of the lower head are Sumil Jitai and Princess Zhula, and on the right side are the great lama Baban Gyatso, Gabu and Tashi.
Sumil Jitai looked haggard, Princess Zhula looked very tired, Baban Gyatso opposite them had a peaceful face, Gabu had a natural smile, and Tashi had a worried look on his eyebrows.
The third lady picked up a golden cup, raised it high and said, "Everyone, please." Then she drank the kumiss in the cup. Then she glanced at everyone present with her wonderful eyes, and said slowly: "I invite you all to come today, naturally for the sake of the soul boy. Xuan'er, you can Tell me what you found out in the past two days."
Bai Ruoxuan responded, stood up, and walked to the center of the field. She wore a golden crown and gorgeous clothes, and the sun shone on her white skin, making her look even more beautiful.
Baban Gyatso shook the prayer wheel in his hand and said with a smile: "Princess, may I ask where the soul boy is now?" Bai Ruoxuan said: "I didn't look like this when I saw the master yesterday. It seems that the master is still a mortal after all."
Baban Gyatso said: "The soul boy is related to the rise and fall of the sect. The old monk saw that the princess was confident yesterday, so there is no need to worry. Now the princess has found out the truth. The old monk congratulates the princess, and of course he also wants to know the whereabouts of the soul boy."
Bai Ruoxuan turned her eyes and asked: "Does the master have parents?" Baban Gyatso was a little overwhelmed by the other party's question. He thought for a while, and then said with a smile on his face: "The old monk is not a crack in the stone." Those who are born in this world naturally have parents."
Bai Ruoxuan asked: "Where are the master's parents now?" Baban Gyatso said: "The old monk's parents are no longer alive." Everyone present was confused when they saw Bai Ruoxuan's strange question.
Bai Ruoxuan suddenly approached Baban Gyatso with a fierce look in her eyes, stretched out her hands to grab his throat and said, "I will send the master to meet your parents now, are you willing?" The middle-aged lama Tashi stood up and said, "Princess Princess, this is What do you mean? We have never offended the princess, so why does the princess want to embarrass my master?"
Sanniangzi also felt that her niece's words just now were too rude, she frowned slightly and said, "Xuan'er, what exactly do you want to say?" Bai Ruoxuan said, "I just want to ask the master if he would like to see his parents. There is no harm."
Then she turned to Princess Zhula and said: "Princess, this old monk wants to take away your son and make you and your son never see each other again. How about I kill him for you now?"
Zhu La shook her head and said: "Princess, no. I don't know where my miserable child is now? Even if this person wants to take my son away, I don't want the princess to kill him."
Bai Ruoxuan burst out laughing and said, "Is that really so? If you and your son can't see each other, it's a separation, but if the master and his mother can't see each other anymore, it's a death." Then she turned to Baban Gyatso and asked: "Master is proficient in Buddhism. I dare to ask if Buddhism can resolve the separation of life and death in the world?"
Baban Gyatso's beard trembled slightly, and he shook his head and said: "One thought is related to origin, and one thought is related to extinction. Cause and effect in the world all have reasons. The death of my mother is the fate, and the separation of the princess and her beloved son is also the fate."
Bai Ruoxuan said: "Very good, I already know the master's answer." As she said this, she looked at everyone present, and then slowly said: "Everyone must want to know who is the culprit of the kidnapping. Then I will Let me explain the whole story clearly. First of all, the prince’s son was not abducted by ghosts." As she spoke, she clapped her hands.
A guard led out a monkey. The monkey was wearing a green jacket and a small hat, and its eyes were moving. Seeing that the little monkey was quite interesting, Sanniangzi said, "Xuan'er, don't you think the culprit is this little beast?"
Bai Ruoxuan said: "Auntie, of course she is not the protagonist. She is just an accomplice in this incident. In the plan to abduct the prince, there was one mastermind, which was Badan, the housekeeper of the prince's family, and there were two accomplices, one was this little monkey. , and the other one is the prince’s wet nurse Qie Rang.”
When he heard that the accomplices were willing to give in, Sumiljitai became furious. He slapped the table with his hand and said, "Okay, this cheap maid actually teamed up with the thieves to kidnap my son. I will never let her go."
Bai Ruoxuan glanced at the other party and said, "My lord, you are wrong. She was coerced." Sumil Jitai said, "You mean it was Badan who threatened her?" Bai Ruoxuan nodded. Sumil Jitai said: "I beat her to death that day, but why didn't she tell me?"
Bai Ruoxuan said: "Because this is another story." As she said that, she took out the handkerchief, opened it, and took out some fine hair from it. Said: "I just talked about the plan to kidnap the prince. The reason why the other party planned to disappear in this secret room is because the palace is heavily guarded. It is necessary to escape from the heavily guarded palace. To bring out the crown prince, one can only devise a bizarre incident.
Cherang plays a hide and seek game with the Crown Prince because there is a monkey in the house and the Crown Prince is naturally attracted to it. In this way, you will unconsciously fall into the trap designed by them. After the prince was stunned with anesthetic by the monkey, he was placed in a basket prepared by the monkey. Steal the Crown Prince out through the vent on the roof. Because it was daytime and there was shade from the trees on the roof, naturally no one noticed this. The monkey also closed the door bolt inside the house.
After doing all this, the other party's next step is to disguise the stolen prince into a monkey, and then hand it over to the monkey charmer to take him out of the city. The plan seemed perfect, but they miscalculated because I found some of the monkey's hair.
So after the guards sent by the aunt sealed the city, the monkey charmer was unable to take the prince out. In this way, if the monkey charmer is discovered, all their previous efforts will be in vain. Therefore, we must get rid of the monkey charmers. "
Sumil Jitai asked: "But the housekeeper was with me at the time, so it was impossible for him to kill the monkey charmer." Bai Ruoxuan said: "This involves the third accomplice."
Lama Ga preached: "The third accomplice is neither Qie Rang nor this monkey, what is it?" Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said: "Let me get away with it here. This third accomplice disappeared after killing the monkey charmer, and No one can be found." Then she asked a guard to take out a ledger.
She turned to a page with a name called Long Ji. She pointed to the name Long Ji and said: "This account book is from the inn where the monkey charmer lives. This guest named Long Ji always wears a black hood to hide his true face. He stayed in that inn for several days. Why?
That's because the butler wants to use Longji's name to make up such a guest. The guy at the inn told me that Longji disappeared after the Monkey Charmer checked in and never appeared again. He actually lied to me. Someone brought the guy up. "
Two guards came up with the guy. As soon as he saw Bai Ruoxuan, he couldn't help but kowtow, his eyes full of fear. Bai Ruoxuan said: "Are you still willing to tell the truth now?"
The waiter's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he said pitifully: "Yes. I did lie to the noble man that day, because the monkey charmer died in our store, and before he died, the man in the black hood did go to his house. The shopkeeper did not allow me to tell the matter in order to keep things quiet."
Bai Ruoxuan smiled and said: "Very good, take him down. The housekeeper took great pains to fabricate the person Long Ji in order to create a non-existent murderer for us to find, but he ignored one thing. That is that he secretly He took the prince's sword and used the prince's sword to kill people. This is obviously misleading me. The prince is the culprit in this incident. Even if the prince is the culprit, he will never kill someone with a weapon that reveals his identity.
Then I told the prince about it. The prince was hesitant to go back that night. Later, the housekeeper hanged himself. Let us think that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. In fact, the butler was murdered, and there was a plum blossom-shaped wound on the butler's back. And hanging is an illusion. The real person who killed the housekeeper and the murderer of the monkey charmer were the same person. This person is you. "
As she spoke, she walked up to Princess Zhura and pointed at her with one finger. Zhu La's face was pale and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She said: "I'm afraid the princess is joking. How could I be the murderer of the housekeeper and the monkey charmer? It's too late for me to love my son, so why would I do such a ridiculous thing?"
The third wife was also confused and said: "Xuan'er, she came to see me with Sumil Jitai the day before yesterday. At that time, her eyes were as red as a rabbit. She is the only one who is so lost after her child is lost." Looks like that. It’s unreasonable for you to say that Zhula is the culprit!”
Sumil Jitai also said in confusion: "Princess, how could my wife do such a thing? I think you must be mistaken." Bai Ruoxuan turned around and said quietly: "Aunt, Prince, you??? Everyone was deceived by the princess. The day before yesterday, the princess did appear with the prince, and the prince also disappeared at that time. Naturally, the whole incident was not directly involved with the princess.
However, it was the butler's death that revealed the true culprit. The princess's motive for doing this was simply that she couldn't bear to be separated from her son, so she devised this trick with the housekeeper. "
Zhu La said calmly: "The princess believes that I am the murderer, but I have no reason to kill the housekeeper. Even if I want to kill the housekeeper, I just need to tell the prince. Why do I have to kill him with my own hands and do such a risky thing?" ?”
Bai Ruoxuan turned around and looked at Zhu La, with a proud look in her eyes. Bai Ruoxuan said slowly: "You have a reason to kill him, and once the housekeeper dies, there will be no proof of this matter." Zhula looked at Sumil Jitai and said: "Your Majesty, the princess is slandering me!"
Sumil Jitai held his wife's hand and said to Sanniangzi: "Hatun, my wife and I are going back. We don't want to hear this rumor." Sanniangzi stood up and said: "Xuan'er, you have done a lot in this matter. Okay, it’s hard for you to find out such a bizarre thing, so tell me, what reward do you want?”
Bai Ruoxuan thought for a while and said slowly: "I want my aunt to promise me that I will release the prince to Tibet to be a spiritual boy later." When Zhula heard this, her heart trembled slightly and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Before the third lady could speak, Gabu and Tashi stood up together and said, "What does this mean, princess?" Bai Ruoxuan said, "I asked the master just now, and the master has already agreed."
Gabu and Tashi were very puzzled. At this time, Baban Gyatso stood up and bowed to Sanniangzi and said slowly: "Zhongjinhatun, the old monk will go back to Tibet with his disciples now, and wait for the prince's son to meet him." When my mother's destiny is over, the old monk may come again."
The third lady nodded and saw Baban Gyatso turning around and leaving with his disciples. Sumil Taiji turned to Bai Ruoxuan and asked, "Princess, where is my son now?" Zhu La's eyes were filled with tears and she could hardly help but blurt out.
Bai Ruoxuan shook her hand, then smiled and said: "My lord, please go home and have a good sleep. I believe that the crown prince will be back with you soon." Sumil Taiji didn't believe his ears, but Zhula said: " Prince, everything is the grace of God, let’s go. Hatun, we say goodbye.”
Looking at Sumil Jitai and his wife walking away, Bai Ruoxuan fell into deep thought and thought, "Am I right to do this?" At this time, the breeze blew, and a hand gently pressed on her shoulder. Sanniangzi said softly: "What's wrong, little fool? Do you regret your request to me just now?"
Bai Ruoxuan shook her head, but she knew clearly in her heart that she should hide some secrets forever.
