After bleeding and bandaging, she returned to her courtyard. Shen Tianci ran over and hugged her leg. His eyes were red when he saw the blood-soaked gauze on her wrist.
"Dad! Why have you been gone for so long? Did that big bad guy bully you again? Shangguan is also a big bad guy, and he slashed your wrists again!"
Well, it’s hard to say, it’s really hard to say.
Originally, Jun Beicheng knew about her daughter's identity, so she didn't need to be threatened by Shangguan Jiushu because of this. She just wanted to learn more medical skills.
She knew the importance of medical skills and medicine very well during the last ten years. Many people who lacked medical treatment could only wait to die.
Some people sell themselves and their lives at all costs, just for a bottle of antipyretics and a pill of painkillers.
It was precisely because she had experienced and seen the ugliest things in the world that she had to be fully prepared.
Shen Zhaoning scratched his face in embarrassment and changed the subject: "Of course not. Mom will make you some ice powder. Let's go!"
She picked up her son and entered the house. Mother and son ate sweet ice powder, and the summer night wind was sweet.
Xuan Yu Pavilion.
Jun Beicheng looked at the only plate of pastries left in the room, his face so dark that water dripped from his face.
He went to the clean room, but the woman slipped away.
A woman's mind is more difficult to understand than a military book. He can't understand the woman's mind at all.
She was obviously planning to escape, but now that the palace was in trouble, she was rushing to get in touch.
The little face that was afraid of pear blossoms being rained down came to mind when he was on the boat, talking incoherently about how he liked him.
At that time, he didn't believe a word of it, but just one day later, those words took root in his mind.
He knew very well that she hid many secrets, and now he was becoming more and more curious about those secrets.
How could Jun Beicheng know that all this was just a little trick by Shen Zhaoning to protect himself? It was him who was going further and further down the wrong path.
He called Zuo: "How's the investigation going for you?"
Zuo glanced at the secret letter in his hand and thought that the prince was really timely. He asked as soon as the carrier pigeon was delivered, and quickly handed over the secret letter.
"The letter has just arrived. The reason why the origin of the jade pendant you picked up before, my lord, has never been traced is because the jade pendant is a personal belonging of the noble lady in the boudoir. Today, by coincidence, I found out some information."
At this point, Zuo couldn't go on. Everyone else was dumbfounded after reading the secret letter just now.
Now that Jun Beicheng has read the letter, his expression is not much better. The jade pendant left by the woman by the river five years ago actually belongs to Princess Qi now!
The people who went to investigate specifically asked the mother-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It happened that the woman had served in the house of the Prime Minister's daughter-in-law.
It was confirmed that the married eldest daughter of their family, Shen Zhaoning, did have a jade pendant worn close to her body, with the word "Ning" on it, and everything matched.
But that night was the wedding day of Prime Minister Shen Zhaoning and Prince Qi. Princess Qi was perfectly fine in Prince Qi's palace. How could she appear in the river outside the city?
But if that woman is not Princess Qi Shen Zhaoning, how come she is wearing the jade pendant of Princess Qi Shen Zhaoning?
It took five years of investigation to get such a few clues about this matter. I didn't expect it to be like this.
He crushed the secret letter in his hand, and his unhappy mood suddenly dropped to freezing point: "What about the other thing? Do you have any clues about it?"
Zuo shook his head: "No, there is no trace of Shen Lin five years ago. We only found that she was pregnant and gave birth alone in a small town in the south. The mother-in-law who took care of her only said that she was dead. The men escaped from the south of the Yangtze River. Due to natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, the origins of many people have been unable to be verified."
Jun Beicheng loosened his clenched palms, and the confetti in his palms scattered all over the floor.
Maybe he was overthinking it. There were so many coincidences. How could it happen to be Shen Lin?
After the report, Zuo did not leave. His undistinguished face was full of worries, and he hesitated whether to speak.
Jun Beicheng came back to his senses and looked at the guard who had grown up with him. He thought for a moment and guessed what he wanted to say: "If you have any doubts, go and clear them up. I will grant you a holiday, so go ahead."
Zuo raised his head and looked at his prince. The ferocious-looking big dog's eyes were full of stars: "Thank you, prince! I will come back as soon as possible! Where is Zuo, please tell me that I am on a mission."
He had never been away from his prince for a long time. It was against the rules for the personal guards to take a long vacation, so they hesitated just now.
Unexpectedly, the prince could see what was on his mind at a glance. This kind of tacit understanding can only come from getting along with each other for many years.
There are some things that he has to see with his own eyes to feel at ease.
Jun Beicheng nodded slightly, understanding that A Zuo was afraid that his younger brother A Youkong would be happy.
These two orphans who guarded him since the rebel rebellion had been with him through life and death for many years. They had long been like family members and would always be more tolerant and caring.
Moreover, he also needed to confirm whether the carpenter Shen Tianci mentioned was who he guessed.
That's right, Zuo is going to Yuxiang Town to find the carpenter.
In the Southern Dynasty, there was once a family of craftsmen, the Mo family, who were good at building mechanisms. All of them were talented craftsmen, and their craftsmanship was unparalleled.
A Zuo and A You are the orphans of the Mo family, and they are also the companions and bodyguards who have followed Jun Beicheng in the palace since they were young.
At that time, the Mohist family was used by the royal family, assisting the Ministry of War to make a lot of contributions to the military of the Southern Dynasties, and also made a lot of contributions to the capture of the sharks.
The sharks are extremely powerful and fast in the water, making them extremely difficult to catch. The Mohists created various deceptive traps and special fishing nets.
There is also the clavicle nail that scares the sharks the most. As long as the clavicle nail is penetrated through their fish tail, the sharks will lose their power and trap them forever.
Until the rebels colluded with the sharks and launched a mutiny. Not only Jun Beicheng's mother and concubine died that day, but also the Mo family and countless innocent people.
The carpenter Shen Tianci mentioned might be from the Mo family, so Zuo wanted to go and meet him in person.
If he was really from the Mo family, he would naturally want to take it for his own use, otherwise he would be used by others once his identity is exposed.
The Mo family may not be innocent about what happened back then, but Jun Beicheng's mother and concubine and those who were implicated in the disaster are innocent.
This is also the reason why he has been holding on to the traces of the traitor for so many years. The remnants of the previous dynasty, the sharks, will all be the dead souls of his Haitang sword!
He sat at the desk and carefully wiped his sword. This sword was named 'Haitang' and was a birthday gift from his late mother-in-law.
Begonia was his mother-in-law's favorite flower. Over the years, even when he was in danger, he kept this sword firmly with him and never lost it.
During those years on the battlefield, the belief that sustained him was that one day he could avenge his mother-in-law and grandfather's family.
All those stained with the blood of his relatives will have their heads dropped!
