Rebirth of the Black-bellied Princess Mo

Bingwen sent a letter to Xia Chu on February 2nd. When he received the reply, it was already dawn on February 8th.

During these days of waiting for the letter, he took some time every day to visit the four of them at the Double Saint Inn. Except for Xie Jiming, the remaining three have long since met him, and they are very affectionate.

He is from Bian Hao.

When I read the letter, I was terrified.

He went back to the house and drank a cup of herbal tea. He calmed down and went to the window to read the letter again.

After a while, his face was still covered with a layer of shock, unbelievable.

He sat down and drank two cups of herbal tea, burned the letter, and called Sang Yi in.

“After the meal time, go to Huiwang’s Mansion to give Gu Shizi a message and ask him to come to Wentian Pavilion.”

“Yes.” Sang Yi led the way down.

Bingwen cupped cold water in both hands to cleanse his face, and digested the shocking content of the letter just now. He pressed his temples, trying to wake up, wake up a little more.

After a quarter of an hour, he called someone to have breakfast, changed his clothes and went to Wentian Pavilion after he was done.

After he arrived at Wentian Pavilion, Su Qianan pulled him and said, “Gu Shizi and Sang Yi are already waiting on the second floor.”

It turned out that after Sang Yi passed the news, Gu Shizi took him directly to Wentian Pavilion to wait.

Bingwen nodded.

Su Qianan saw that his expression was unusually solemn, and asked with concern, “What’s the matter with you, are you okay?”

“It’s a big deal, I’ll tell you later, I’ll go up first.”

Bingwen pinched his eyebrows, he had to calm down first, so that Gu Shizi would not be so shocked…

Bingwen went up to the second floor and asked Sang Yi to retreat.

Gu Xingyun stood up and said to Bingwen, “Is your son Bingwen ready?”

Bingwen nodded and sat down.

“This is the deposit of two million taels of silver in exchange for 200,000 taels of gold, and my token jade pendant.” Gu Xingyun’s face was overjoyed, and he offered the silver bill and a jade pendant in both hands. Then he continued: “I saw that the person who communicated did not say anything to refuse, and even asked me to come over to meet, so I guessed that Prince Bingwen promised. These things have already been prepared.”

Bingwen looked at the silver note and the jade pendant, but didn’t pick it up.

“Let me remind you first, this matter is shocking. If you want to investigate, you must fully trust and cooperate with me.”

Gu Xingyun gave the silver note and jade pendant in his hand to Bingwen again.

“As long as Young Master Bingwen can find out the truth, I will do whatever you ask me to do.”

“Okay.” Bingwen took the bank note and token and put it away, motioned him to sit down, and then said, “After the death of King Hui, has the housekeeper He Songfa returned to his hometown?”

“Yes, he served his father all his life. Now that his father has passed away, he has no intention of staying in the palace. The concubine sympathized with him for his hard work and rewarded Pan Ran and allowed him to retire and return to his hometown.”

“He is now in Nanlizhuang Village, under Sanqu Town, Jingyang County. You send someone to find him and bring him safely to Beijing for protection.”

“I’ll send someone to do it when I go back.”

“While He Songfa was in the palace, he often stole things out of the palace and sold them. One night, he wanted to take advantage of Prince Hui’s illness and go to his room to steal a folding fan. But he ran into Concubine Wei and his advisor Tian Yuchen, who were bedridden. Prince Hui was tied back to the bed, and Tian Yuchen used incense to burn the tail of a small snake in a bamboo tube. The snake was afraid of the heat, so it scurried along the bamboo tube into Prince Hui’s anus. Prince Hui was caught by Concubine Wei. He covered his mouth, stretched his legs, and died of breathlessness.”

After Bingwen finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xingyun deeply.

“Master Bingwen, is there any evidence?” Gu Xingyun’s body trembled, his voice trembled, his face was shocked and angry, and there seemed to be raging anger in his eyes staring at Bingwen.

“So, let you go to He Songfa. He is a witness. You also have to open the coffin for an autopsy. There must be a dead snake in the belly of Prince Hui. That’s physical evidence.” Bingwen said firmly.

Gu Xingyun pressed his hands on the desk, because of too much force, his veins burst out and his joints turned white.

He breathed heavily and asked, “You know, once the belly of the father is opened, if there is no dead snake in it.”

“Since I told you, then there must be a dead snake in Prince Hui’s body.”

Bingwen is so determined because he believes in Xia Chu so much.

Xia Chu’s letter told him that if there is, there will be.

“Okay, I’ll accompany you to gamble.” Gu Xingyun was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

“Gu Shizi, it should be me who accompanies you to gamble.” Bingwen smiled.

“Yes, if there is a dead snake. Young Master Bingwen is the benefactor of my palace.”

“There is an unparalleled pawnshop in the West City. The utensils of the palace that He Songfa sold are all sold there. You can secretly arrest the shopkeeper Hao Jinping and wait for He Songfa to come to Beijing to confront him.”

“Thank you, Young Master Bingwen, for telling me.”

“This matter should not be procrastinated. Tomorrow is the scientific expedition, which will last for nine days. You only have nine days, so be sure to act vigorously and resolutely. After the Spring Festival is over, the body of Prince Hui will be transported back to the fief.”

“Xingyun understands, let’s say goodbye first.” Gu Xingyun bowed deeply.

“Gu Shizi.”

Gu Xingyun looked back at the entrance of the stairs, and saw Bingwen’s expression on the verge of speaking.

“Master Bingwen, but it doesn’t matter.”

Bingwen frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Tian Yuchen and His Highness’ advisor Dai Silin are classmates.”

“What does Young Master Bingwen mean?” Gu Xingyun’s expression changed slightly.

“I don’t mean it, I just tell you the truth. There is one more thing, I don’t know if you know.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Concubine Li once wanted to offer you her niece to be the prince’s concubine, but Prince Hui refused.”

Gu Xingyun’s face changed greatly. He has been leading troops to fight on the battlefield, and he does not know this. Now that I think about it, Concubine Li is the mother concubine of the Fourth Highness. She was rejected for marrying Prince Hui’s mansion. If there is a connection between the two… he dare not think about it.

After a long time, Gu Xingyun said, “I see.”

Bingwen nodded and greeted the guest.

After he left, Bingwen breathed a sigh of relief. The straight back suddenly collapsed, and Bingwen lay in the chair, gasping for breath.

I believe that Xia Chu is not fake, it is also true that he is extremely frightened…
