Liu Luoyi tilted her head, looked at Yu Chili who was hiding behind her, and laughed softly: "It's said that the princess is not afraid of heaven and earth, so why are you afraid of this?"
Yu Chili stretched his neck, looked under the bed over Liu Luoyi's shoulder, and said depressedly, "Who said that I am not afraid of the sky and the earth, there are so many things I am afraid of."
And because I was frightened by horror movies when I was a child, I was particularly concerned about this weird atmosphere.
"Don't worry, there's no such thing in the world. I just suddenly remembered that when I was young, I played games with Chang'er, sneaked into Dad's bedroom, and hid under the bed. Dad got so angry that time and punished me outside the door. I knelt for a whole day, and since then, I have never dared to approach this place again, even when talking to my father, I only dared to stand outside the door."
Liu Luoyi said, her expression a little lonely.
"So you're thinking, maybe there's something under the bed?" Yu Chili asked, she was relieved, and she flung her sleeves towards the bed, "Then just say it, that look just now scared me to death."
Liu Luoyi shook his head helplessly and stepped forward, only to be pushed away by Yuchili.
"You should stay away soon, be careful of your hurt." Yu Chili said.
She held the edge of the bed with both hands, and once she exercised, she lifted the bed by half and walked in a semicircle, revealing the bare floor.
She squatted down and knocked one by one. They were all solid floor tiles, and there was no place to hide things.
"No." Yu Chili turned to look at Liu Luoyi with regret.
Liu Luoyi frowned tightly, crouched with Yuchili, took the fire book, and observed it carefully against the ground.
"Princess, you see, this brick is smaller than the others, and the gap is filled with mortar, which is different from other bricks, as if it was filled later." Liu Luoyi said, she vacated a space, Let Yu Chi leave to see.
"Indeed." Yu Chili's expression also became serious, she reached out and pulled Liu Luoyi up, then took out a dagger from her body, and patiently scratched around the brick.
She fiddled with sweat for a long time, and then she pryed the brick off the ground, and underneath was the rammed hard brick slag and loess.
Yuchili and Liu Luoyi looked at each other, and after getting a positive look, he continued to use a knife to dig up the brick slag and loess. Soon, the corner of a box was exposed, and Yuchili simply cut the brick next to him. Shi also pried open, and then dug out the entire box.
The box is made of nanmu, which is very hard, and the mouth of the box is sealed with wax. It seems that the contents inside are very valuable, so they are carefully preserved.
Yu Chili carefully opened the box. The expected scene did not happen. There was only a pile of unframed paintings inside.
Liu Luoyi stepped forward and squatted down, carefully took out the paintings inside, and looked at them one by one.
Her hands trembled a little.
Although Yu Chili didn't understand these things, he was also attracted by those paintings. After a long time, the edges of the paper had turned yellow, but it did not diminish the amazing content of the paintings. Most of the paintings were landscapes and landscapes. lifelike.
Occasionally, there are a few small scenes sketched with only a small amount of ink and wash, which are enough to be amazed.
"Princess, look here." Liu Luoyi stretched out her slender fingers and pointed to a small line of characters at the bottom, "The Cheng family has a woman who draws a brush, and the dry land and grass are also juicy."
"These are my father's words." Liu Luoyi looked at Yu Chili, her voice trembling, "These paintings were drawn by my mother."
Hearing this, Yuchi Li hurriedly took out everything else in the box, except for some paintings, there were also a few letters.
"Let's go back and see, it's not safe here." Yu Chili said as he quickly put all the things into the box, and then laid the bricks and stones again, pressing them firmly.
The two didn't say much on the way back, Liu Luoyi was immersed in the shock of discovering her mother's relics, and Yu Chili was afraid of disturbing her.
There was no one in the mansion, Xin Ran hadn't come back yet, and Yuchi Die didn't know where to go. Only Liu Wenshang's house was lit, and Yuchi Li pushed open his door directly, startling him.
"Princess, sister, why are you here?" Liu Wenshang clutched her body and hid on the bed in a panic.
"I'm brushing myself." After Yuchi stood still, he looked him up and down and nodded, "Yes, I have a firm body. It seems that I haven't slackened my practice recently. Remember, you have to be strong to protect you. elder sister."
Liu Wenshang tried her best to cover herself with the quilt, wanting to cry without tears. She was very happy to hear the compliment, but could it be another time
What's more, he wanted to protect his sister, but he had no chance.
Liu Luoyi frowned and coughed, and jabbed Yuchi Li sharply.
Yu Chi Li patted his forehead, almost forgetting that this is ancient times, so he hurriedly took a step back and closed the door, waiting for Liu Wenshang to get dressed, then walked in again and put the heavy box in his arms on the table.
"Your mother's name is Cheng Qiqi?" She said straight to the point.
Liu Luoyi and Liu Wenshang both nodded.
She must be a talented woman who can draw such a masterpiece, but why did Liu Ru throw away all the things related to his wife at home after his wife's death, but hid these paintings under the bed, looking at the appearance of the floor tiles, it should be very interesting. Haven't seen the sun in a long time.
Yu Chili frowned tightly, flipping through the painting in his hand, always feeling that he was approaching a shocking secret.
"Do you still remember what she looked like?" Yu Chili asked again.
"My mother died a few days after I was born." Liu Wenshang said.
Liu Luoyi thought for a while before answering: "I was only a child at the time, I only remember that my mother and father were very affectionate, the rest, I can't remember anything. When I grow up, my father rarely mentions it. Mother, but she has never taken a concubine to marry a wife, only took out this silver bracelet and said that it will be handed over to me on the day I get married."
Yu Chili nodded and looked at the paintings carefully. When he saw the last one, he was shocked and stopped.
It was a portrait, the only figure in these paintings.
The person in the portrait is very similar to Liu Luoyi, both in the eyebrows and the expression between them.
If the paper had not turned yellow, it would have been mistaken for Liu Luoyi.
Liu Luoyi walked to Yuchili's side and was also stunned. She looked at the woman in the portrait with a celestial appearance, her body softened, Yuchili quickly dropped the painting and got up to support her.
"What's wrong with you?" she worried.
Liu Luoyi shook her head, she just saw the person in the painting, and she was suddenly very sad.
"It's my mother." Her voice trembled.
Yu Chili was silent, and he helped Liu Luoyi to sit down on the chair, and went to read the letters, which were mostly self-talk, like the love words of Liu Ru and Cheng Qiqi.
A few sentences are very strange.
"He came to the door again today, saying that he was sympathetic to the official, but in fact he wanted to see you, but I knelt down and stopped him outside the door, so he didn't succeed... What you said that day was not because I didn't believe it, but was just scared, he and I How can you cooperate with the enemy and betray the country at the turn of Jinlan..."
Yu Chili read it twice, and finally understood that he was not alone.
As for the former, there is no one other than the emperor who can sympathize with officials.
It seems that there is indeed a story between Cheng Qiqi and the emperor, and Liu Luoyi looks very similar to Cheng Qiqi, so the emperor was so excited when he was in the palace that day.
Yu Chili wanted to understand the connection in just a few moments, but there were still many doubts, but after all, he had some clues.
Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with Cheng Qiqi's marriage with Liu Ru, and that was the excuse to put Liu Ru in the heavenly prison
Yu Chili immediately shook his head as he thought about it, it was impossible, if so, why wait until so many years before making a move.
Who is the person mentioned in the letter, the friend of Jinlan...
"Xiao Liu'er, Wen Chang, do you remember, does Mr. Liu have any old friends or something?" Yu Chili handed the envelope to Liu Luoyi and leaned over to ask.
Liu Wenshang shook his head and said: "Dad rarely mentions matters in the court, our group of children only care about playing and never care, and Daddy's character is a bit strange... Although he is admired by many people, he has never Bring other people into the house."
Yu Chili looked at Liu Luoyi again.
Liu Luoyi thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "I remember that when I was very young, there was a person who often came to the mansion to drink and play chess with my father. At that time, Chang'er didn't remember anything, but I remember it, but I never saw it later. He is."
It was a bit difficult to find out. Yu Chili sighed and handed the paintings to Liu Luoyi: "Forget it, I'm tired today. I'll go back to rest first. Now that there are clues, I'll find a solution tonight."
Liu Luoyi took the painting, stretched out her hand and grabbed Yuchili's sleeve, shook it gently, and said, "Princess has worked hard. And today's gift, thank you very much."
Yu Chili laughed out loud when she heard the words, she touched Liu Luoyi's head naturally: "What's the hard work, your business is mine, rescue Mr. Liu sooner, and we'll return to the north sooner. area."
Liu Luoyi heard that she was talking about us, the loneliness on her face disappeared in an instant, and she lowered her head and smiled.
Liu Wenshang looked at her sister's expression in astonishment, and suddenly felt that the world was abnormal.
Even though my elder sister would smile at him, she had never had this kind of expression before. It looked like a girl with a heart full of spring
He shuddered, but suddenly felt that if the object was Princess Yuchi, anyone could show such a shy expression. If it were him, he might not be any better than his sister.
Very, of course.
Yu Chili said goodbye to them, turned around and walked out the door, Liu Luoyi's smile didn't disappear until her figure disappeared.
"Shang'er, what if my sister likes someone?" she asked suddenly.
"Being liked by a good person like Sister, no matter who it is, will be happy." Liu Wenshang answered honestly, and then came together, "Is it possible that Sister has a happy person, which son is it? "
"It's not that young master, it's just that she doesn't seem to like me." Liu Luoyi sighed softly.
"How could it be, my sister is the best woman in the world, oh, except for Princess Yuchi." Liu Wenshang said solemnly.
"What's the use of that." Liu Luoyi smiled bitterly.
"Why is it useless? If a woman like Sister is standing in a cold state, everyone else will like it. If you don't like it, you will naturally like it if you go forward and tease it." Liu Minshang suddenly smiled.
Liu Luoyi blushed and turned back to beat Liu Wenshang: "How did you learn this at such a young age?"
"It was taught by the eldest princess, she told me to tell you this." Liu Wenshang said aggrieved.
