Di Xue went back to the mansion prepared by her parents for herself in the morning and changed her clothes.
The lotus-colored brocade robe is embroidered with ginkgo leaves with gold thread, the bamboo jade pendant made of white jade hangs from the jade belt with gold edge, and the hair is simply raised with a silver crown.
Then she picked up the silver needle from the box and stuck it into her hair. This had been her habit since she was a child. The silver needle not only served as a hidden weapon, but also allowed her to grab a piece of cloth and embroider when she was upset to keep her fingers sharp and focused. .
But now she was a little confused. She only received the invitation yesterday and was in a hurry, let alone preparing gifts.
Thinking about it, Prince Heng must have seen everything. What should he prepare for?
Di Xue had no choice but to trot all the way into the armory in the mansion, looking at the dazzling array of weapons around her and choosing them.
Finally, he picked up a fine iron dagger with a silver sheath and a gold interior, and that was it.
The dagger has a simple appearance, but there are many ways inside. Hold the handle of the knife and gently push the ridges on the scabbard. The interlayer in the scabbard will open. If it is filled with poison, the blade will instantly quench the poison. .
Push the protrusion back, the interlayer is closed, and the poison will not leak out. If you want to replace the poison, just pull open the small baffle on the other side of the scabbard and replace it.
It was said that Prince Na Heng was not good at martial arts, so he thought he should be good at using this dagger, so Di Xue picked up the dagger and put it in the brocade box along with the instructions on how to use it.
Di Xue rode the newly acquired big chestnut horse to Prince Heng's Mansion. When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, Di Xue was not surprised by the luxury of the mansion, but was surprised by the distance between it and her mansion.
If I had known it was just across the street, I wouldn't have come here on horseback!
After dismounting, Di Xue handed her gift invitation to the concierge for registration.
As soon as I walked into the house, I heard a lot of noise outside the door.
Several people walked in, surrounded by a young man wearing a snow-green brocade robe with wide sleeves and loose hair tied simply with a ribbon.
Di Xue saw that the young man was slender and slender, with a face as white as jade and eyebrows as sacred as Buddha's. Upon closer inspection, he felt affection for others, but he didn't know who he was in Yuanjing.
The young man frowned slightly and shook off the person behind him, then walked straight towards a tall boy in a dark green spiny robe.
"Brother Zhou Huai came too early today!" the young man said.
Zhou Huai laughed and put his hand around the young man's shoulder, but after realizing that everyone around him was looking at him, he withdrew his hand and returned a salute: "Brother Li Heng, why are you here? Your father jumped up and down without energy. ?”
Li Heng waved his hand: "He can't control me, but the bells rang through the capital yesterday. Presumably the Governor of Zhou Dynasty has expelled the Ora army from the border of our Soochow Kingdom, and it must have penetrated deep into the Ora border at this moment!"
Zhou Huai nodded: "When I mentioned this, I thought of another thing that gave me a headache! After my father went to war, Shen Da, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said that the war was hard, and then gave the land on the outskirts of Beijing to my family! "
"Isn't this a good thing?" Li Heng asked with a puzzled look on Zhou Huai's face.
"Forget it, I went to harvest the land half a month ago and ended up in a red face! A few days ago, the farmer Wang's family even went to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen to falsely accuse me of stealing his wheat! It's simply nonsense. By the way, the Ministry of Household Affairs is not responsible for it. Prime Minister Li is in charge, can you help me lobby with your father for a piece of land?"
Li Heng reached out and patted Zhou Huai on the shoulder, looking helpless: "It's not like you don't know that that damn old man and I despise each other. If I go and beg you, maybe your land will be changed to a worse one!"
After listening to Li Heng's words, Zhou Huai immediately turned off the engine and wilted. He must have been having a very unpleasant quarrel with those farmers on the outskirts of the city!
After hearing this, Di Xue chose an inconspicuous place to sit down, picked up the melon seeds on the table, and ate them.
After a while, Prince Heng appeared and said some polite words on the stage, and the banquet began.
Di Xue listened to the troupe on the stage singing "Grand Ascension to the Palace". The female opera singer on the stage looked at Prince Heng from time to time, her eyes were as tender as water, and her love showed through the paint on her face.
But Prince Heng just picked up a bunch of Shoushan stones slowly and ignored them.
Di Xue frowned slightly, picked up a piece of jelly and put it into her mouth. A strong sweetness rushed into her lungs, almost making her spit it out.
After swallowing it with difficulty, Di Xue lost her appetite. Thinking of the sesame seed cakes she secretly hid in her arms, she couldn't help but feel that she was really foresighted.
Di Xue pulled the boy beside her and whispered a few words. The boy pointed in the direction and was about to send her off. She quickly said that she could go by herself and walked forward through the front porch. Sure enough, an octagonal pavilion was revealed in the distance.
Di Xue was delighted that the water here was clear, and there were white stone paving roads and bamboo groves. It was a good place to steal some food.
Walking along the path towards the pavilion, the bamboo forest blocking the sight disappeared, but I saw a young man in white brocade clothes with dark bamboo knot patterns and a turquoise belt standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
His hair was loosely tied up with a simple white jade crown, and his hair hung down like a waterfall, making his figure slender and well-proportioned.
Just as a gust of autumn wind blew on the lake, the sunlight reflected the sparkling waves on the lake. A few red carps jumped out, and then crashed back into the water, splashing water. The young man covered them with his sleeves, and the people turned around.
Looking at those handsome thin lips, Di Xue's ears rang with the voice from that day of the martial arts competition.
"Good skills, but if you participate in the martial arts competition as a woman, you have already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you know?"
In a daze, the young man in the pavilion came towards Di Xue again.
The young man in white who revealed her identity as a woman, the miracle doctor Wei Jian on the outskirts of the city, gradually overlapped with the figure in front of him, converging on the face of the young man who had already come to Di Xue.
Di Xue gave him a slight salute: "I'm here to catch Di Xue in Dali Temple. I don't know if you are resting here, so you may be disturbing me!"
Wei Jian smiled slightly: "Master Di, you are so polite. How come we are so different after not seeing each other for a few days?"
Di Xue was stunned for a moment, but then she understood what he said, and presumably she knew she recognized him: "I didn't expect to meet Dr. Wei at Prince Heng's Mansion!"
"It doesn't matter, even if you have the ability to read bones and paint skin, you already knew that I was the one who exposed you in the martial arts competition!"
Di Xue didn't expect him to be so frank. She didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only nod. It was dark in the suburbs that day and she didn't take a closer look. In addition, Tang himself was too focused on the case to pay attention. The weather was fine today, so he had the opportunity to take a good look. After taking a closer look, he recognized it!
"Actually, that day I..."
Before Wei Jian could finish speaking, the opera in the front yard seemed to have reached the depths of emotion. The sound of babbling sounds came from the front yard, submerged in the wind. Suddenly, the female voice suddenly raised its pitch and broke the pitch, and then stopped abruptly.
The noise exploded like thunder on a rainy night. After a while, a boy hurriedly ran to Di Xue: "Master Di, the prince has called you over. The actor in the front yard suddenly died on the stage!"
Then he turned around and saluted Wei Jian: "His Royal Highness, you are here too, follow me to the front yard!"
Hearing the call of the boy, Chu Ran looked at Di Xue with a guilty conscience. Just now he looked like he had a clear conscience and had nothing to hide, but this slap in the face came too quickly.
Fortunately, Di Xue's attention was focused on the murder case in the front yard, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the breath came to the end, I heard the person in front of me chuckle.
"how?"
"It's nothing, I just thought that the gift I sent could be used by His Highness!"
Chu Ran was a little curious, and the boy was at a loss for words at this time, but looking at his eldest son's eyes, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Master Di gave me a mechanism dagger that can quench poison and is easy to carry!"
She is such a vengeful woman, and she actually ridiculed him for not knowing martial arts!
The boy quickly led the two of them to the front yard.
At this time, Eunuch Jiang, who was following Prince Heng, ran over: "Master Di, this was found from the dead actor!"
Di Xue took the yellow paper and saw crookedly written words on it: The law of heaven is fair, murder must be punished with life, my brother Xu Lai is dead in the wilderness, the murderer Zhou Huai is at large, the little girl is dead today, Mingzhi, forget all the adults to punish the murderer, return it to me. My brother is innocent!
