Inside the box was a mass of white stuff with an unpleasant fishy smell. Especially now, the weather is still hot, making people look and smell very uncomfortable.
Chunxiu and A Luo didn't know what it was, but the shopkeeper and Shen Muxi could tell it at a glance. They looked at each other, feeling heavy in their hearts. The shopkeeper took a deep breath, turned around and left.
Quickly closing the box, Shen Muxi tried his best to calm down the turmoil in his heart, "You, you can do whatever you want, Chunxiu, don't hang around here, don't do business anymore?"
Chunxiu was also clever, seeing that Shen Muxi's expression was not right, she nodded and left immediately, "I'm leaving now!"
"Master, what's wrong?" A Luo panicked, "What is this white meat?"
Although Yuegui is a secret guard, he is still unmanned after all, "I have seen pork, chicken, and mutton before. It is really difficult to guess what this lump is!"
"It's a person." Shen Muxi sighed softly, "The shopkeeper went to ask, let's go and have a look."
Yue Gui and A Luo looked at each other, A Luo's voice trembled, "It's a fetus, a fetus..."
Shen Muxi's fingertips lightly landed on the box, "How hard do you have to be to do this?"
"Longevity Gate!" Yue Gui said with a cold face, "They are the only ones who are so ruthless."
Not long after, the shopkeeper turned back, and the child had never seen anyone before, and the voice sounded like a man's voice, "I exchanged my copper coin with the child. It doesn't look special, but it is still a witness after all."
The shopkeeper put the copper plate on the table, together with the silver and the box.
Yue Gui asked people to look at these things, and followed Shen Muxi out.
There are alleys and roads everywhere in the Eastern Capital City. If you haven't walked here since you were a child, you might not be able to recognize some places. Right now, there are towering walls on both sides of this alley, and an old pagoda tree in front of it covers it, and the shadow falls, and the whole alley is filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
"The kid said that the copper plate was dropped from the wall, and he didn't see anyone when he looked up!" said the shopkeeper.
Yue Gui jumped and landed on the wall with ease, "There are traces of being trampled on the wall, and the crack is still fresh."
"Are there other traces?" Shen Muxi asked.
Yue Gui shook his head, "No!"
"Come down first!" Shen Muxi stepped forward.
"The kid said that the box was next to the basket not far under the tree." The shopkeeper looked around and pointed to the wet spot on the ground, "It's probably here!"
Shen Muxi nodded, squatted down gently, looked up at the huge old locust tree, and turned to stare at the wetness on the ground, "Should I let the ice go?"
Ah Luo looked around, frowned slightly and said, "It's dry all around, I didn't see the water stains, it can't be water splashed or raining or something, the master's guess should be right!"
"This thing should have been out of the mother's womb for some time." Shen Muxi's expression darkened, "So it has to be frozen before it can be delivered to me."
"It's not easy to find ice in the eastern capital. There is an ice store in the western city, but this year's weather is too hot. It is said that the cellar can no longer be opened for the time being. It is hot and windy, and it will melt as soon as it is opened. It is not worth it!" The shopkeeper explained, " We ordinary people don't need ice, if we feel hot, we can just fetch a bucket of well water to cool off!"
Shen Muxi nodded, "There is still a place, there should be, and I have to open it!"
"In the palace!" Yue Gui was slightly taken aback.
"The palace is the emperor's residence, and many nobles live in it. If you want to use ice, who would dare not take it?" Shen Muxi sighed softly, "No wonder you couldn't find anyone, but it turned out that they were hiding under the candlestick."
A Luo pursed her lips, "It's dark under the lamp!"
"Humble job, go and report to the lord immediately!" Yue Gui narrowed her eyes.
"Let's go back first!" Shen Muxi was not in a hurry, and did not speak on the way back.
After returning to the hospital and closing the door, A Luo was a little worried, "Master, A Luo thinks that other things are not very important now, the important thing is that unruly princess, she, she lives in Li Wang's Mansion!"
Shen Muxi smiled, "Then let's live, we don't live there!"
"Having said that, what kind of troubles will she cause if you don't keep it all right!" A Luo poured out a glass of water and handed it over.
Shen Muxi signaled her not to be nervous, "With Yuqing here, can she make her mess up? Wei Xian'er was favored so much back then, did you see Yuqing show mercy?"
A Luo blinked.
"Right now, all the internal affairs of Li Wang's mansion are handed over to Yu Qing. If Princess Ana dies in the palace, Yu Qing will not stop her, and she will be able to help her if she doesn't keep it clean!" Shen Muxi sneered, "You really think Is your prince a vegetarian?"
That fellow Bo Yunxiu, don't look at the silent one, he must have already planned it in the dark.
There is no calculation, but there has been "special attention".
It was Guan Yuqing who went to look for it personally, and told her to "take good care of" Princess Ana.
Guan Yuqing asked, how to take care of her
Mi Li replied, don't slap your face, just don't die.
Guan Yuqing and Nianqiu stood in a row at the gate of the Sunset Pavilion, eating sunflower seeds, watching someone pass by him proudly.
"Big rooster, coo coo." Nian Qiu opened his eyes wide curiously, and muttered to himself, "Arrogant, high-spirited, doesn't lay eggs, just go to the room?"
"What did you say?" Ana turned her head and stared at Nianqiu.
Nian Qiuchi slid behind his lady, "Miss, she is so fierce."
"It's not like you haven't seen a rooster pecking people before." Guan Yuqing spat out a mouthful of melon seeds, "The hairs all over his body stand on end, fierce, and his eyes are wide open, like..."
"Like me?" Ana was furious, "Are you scolding me?"
"Miss, can people in Ying Kingdom understand what we are saying?" Nian Qiu ignored Ana at all.
Guan Yuqing thought carefully, "I hate to marry you!"
"You guys! You bastards!" Ana gritted her teeth, raised her hand and slapped her with an ear scraper.
Fortunately, Guan Yuqing and Nianqiu moved quickly, they squatted down quickly.
Ana fanned the air, staring bitterly at the two women who were squatting at the base of the wall and continuing to eat sunflower seeds, "What the hell are you guys? How dare you be so rude to me! Don't you know who I am?"
Guan Yuqing pointed to the front, "The main courtyard is over there. Remember to light candles when you sleep tonight. Don't turn off the lights to sleep, it's very dangerous!"
"The main courtyard is very big, and it was the residence of the prince's favorite side concubine earlier!" Nian Qiu connected well, "but then the side concubine was disfigured, and she was crazy all day long, and finally... wow, death Lost!"
Guan Yuqing nodded, and looked up at Princess Ana while eating melon seeds, "My lord let you live in the main courtyard because he wanted you to be his favorite woman. You can't live up to my lord's kindness!"
"Look at my lady, we live in a small courtyard, which shows that the prince doesn't take it seriously, so we can't even eat pastries, we can only eat melon seeds!" Nian Qiu agreed.
Ana looked at the Sunset Pavilion, and it really looked tattered.
In fact, the Sunset Pavilion has not been repaired for a long time, so it is really not that good. Guan Yuqing doesn't like to be empty, and is even more afraid of trouble, as long as the house is not leaking, it will be fine!
Where I have lived for so many years, I am used to it no matter what.
"Hmph!" Ana walked over proudly.
Nian Qiu helped Guan Yuqing up, "Miss, she is so arrogant, even stronger than the Wei family back then."
"What do you know, you are not afraid of real villains, you are afraid of hypocrites. The more they like to show off, the less it matters. Their emotions are all on their faces, so we don't have to worry too much at all!" Guan Yuqing read from Qiu's He grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his pocket, and walked towards the courtyard while eating them.
Nian Qiu followed behind, "The housekeeper said, she went to Dr. Shen to make a fuss, and said in front of Dr. Shen that she wanted to be, what kind of Princess Li! How arrogant!"
Guan Yuqing spat out a mouthful of melon seeds with a smile, "Give her a big gift tonight!"
The two master and servant were laughing, since everyone moved to Wenliu Villa and left their master and servant in Liwang Mansion, they were almost bored to death. Now that there is so much excitement, they must not show their performance!
Bo Yunxiu didn't come back until late at night, but he didn't expect someone to take a nap on the table.
With a gloomy complexion, Bo Yunxiu took off his shoes and socks outside the door, signaling for Mi Li not to approach, Gu Zi suppressed his voice, tiptoed in the door, gently picked up the sleeping Mrs. Bo, and walked towards the bed very steadily .
Shen Muxi closed his eyes, put his arm lightly on his shoulder, "Bo Yunxiu, even if you don't hear footsteps, I know it's you, I can smell it!"
"Dog nose!" He smiled, and finally strode to the bed, and put her down gently, "These days will be very busy, don't wait for me!"
"Miao Li sent people to say it, but I have something to discuss with you, so I'm waiting for you!" Shen Muxi sat on his lap, closed his eyes and leaned against his arms, watching as if talking in a dream.
Bo Yunxiu pulled a corner of the quilt to cover her lower abdomen. A while ago, I heard from an imperial doctor that women are prone to confinement. He was not with her back then, and he didn't know how she was confinement, so he dare not take it lightly now.
It's autumn, it's time to watch her body carefully.
"Yuegui should have told you about the things during the day, right?" She said wearily.
Bo Yunxiu lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, "I know, the palace has stepped up security."
"But I always think it's too coincidental." She was tickled by him, opened her eyes helplessly, pushed away his restless face, and forced him not to start, "Can the icehouse in the palace hide people?"
"Yes!" Bao Yunxiu smiled and let her play with her. He turned around quickly when she was slackening, and lightly pecked her palm.
Shen Muxi was so shocked that he immediately withdrew his hands, "I'm talking about business!"
"Drunkard's intentions are not in the bar!" Bao Yunxiu hugged her tightly, then leaned down and whispered in her ear for a while.
As if awakened from fright, Shen Muxi sat up abruptly, "You, what you said is true?"
"Why don't you make a bet?" Bao Yunxiu stared at her, curling his lips with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes were full of bewilderment, "If it's what I said, just... take the initiative once."
Her face was slightly dark.
Bo Yunxiu got closer, "If I guess wrong, I will take the initiative!"
Shen Muxi gave him a hard look, shameless!
"Does Mrs. Bo want to participate?" Bo Yunxiu's voice was hoarse, and he gently stroked her temple hair with his fingertips, and put it behind his ears, "This is only one time, a rare opportunity! You also want to see him safe and happy, right?"
"Bo Yunxiu, you are a threat!" She gritted her back molars.
Bo Yunxiu frowned, "Ma'am, what you said is wrong. How can this be considered a threat? At most it is a joke. The real threat is not by words, but by... actual combat experience!"
Shen Muxi turned around and ran away, Bo Yunxiu, you bastard!
