In the early morning of the second day, Yan Chi took Tuoba Rui, Liu Yun and others back to Mount Weishan.
It will take at least one day to return from this trip, and it will take even more time to determine the route of each team. It is difficult to distinguish the way and see the direction when it is dark, and I am afraid that returning tomorrow night is possible.
Yan Chi left, but Bai Feng was left behind. In addition to Lin Zhang, the commander of the imperial guards, now, Tuo Bahong's big tent is more heavily guarded than Yan Huai's main tent, and Qin Wan arrived early in the morning Tuo Bahong kept watch in the tent, cleaned the wound and changed the dressing, and then paid attention to the condition of Tuo Bahong nervously, and felt relieved when he saw that the pulse did not show signs of weakness.
After changing the medicine, seeing that the imperial doctor beside him was too old to support her anymore, Qin Wan asked the imperial doctor to go back to rest. In this way, only Qin Wan was left in the tent. Since she was the only one, then she Then he can take a good look at the injuries on Ta Bahong.
Ta Bahong was covered with a thin quilt, Qin Wan lifted the quilt, and carefully looked at the wounds on Ta Bahong's body, but the wounds had not healed and could not be moved, so she couldn't see the scars on his back, Qin Wan Wan turned her gaze to look at the wound on Ta Bahong's waist, but for some reason, she always felt that the wound on Ta Bahong's waist was a bit strange!
It was a large bruise, but within the bruise, there was a crescent-shaped mark that was extraordinarily deep, and at the same time, there was another part missing in the crescent. Seeing this shape, Qin Wan was stunned. I can't guess what made it, but I can only wonder if it was found somewhere when Ta Bahong fell into the mountain stream.
Qin Wan bent over and stroked Ta Bahong's waist with his fingertips. He was concentrating on watching. Suddenly, the curtain moved behind him, and it was Tuoba Wu who walked in. Tuoba Wu knew that Qin Wan was guarding in the tent. He looked, but when he looked closely, he saw Qin Wan stroking Ta Bahong's waist. That action was so imaginative!
Tuoba Wu gasped, "What are you doing?!"
Qin Wan straightened up, looked back, Ta Bahong gave him an unbelievable look, Qin Wan thought for a while, and realized that this would misunderstand Tuoba Wu, so he turned sideways and said, "I'm looking at his wounds. .”
Tuoba Wu walked over suspiciously, and she saw a large bruise on Ta Bahong's body. She looked at the scar, but she didn't see Qin Wan applying medicine to Ta Bahong. She suddenly felt a little strange. Qin Wan is a doctor. The scars are not strange, but why didn't she take the ointment? Instead of applying medicine to Ta Bahong, he kept touching Ta Bahong's wound
Tuoba Wu thought her scalp was numb, but when she met Qin Wan's clear eyes, she really couldn't think of more ambiguous things. With Qin Wan's temperament, it is impossible for her to have any fascination for her brother, right
"When you look at the wound, you look at the wound. Why don't you apply medicine?"
As he said that, Tuoba Wu went to get the ointment on the side and wanted to rub it on Taba Hong, but Qin Wan raised his hand to stop it, "Let me see again."
Tuoba Wu was helpless, but Qin Wan leaned in front of Tuo Bahong again, and after applying the ointment, the wound would heal very quickly, and when the marks became shallower, she would not be able to see what shape it was.
Qin Wan looked at it for a while, then got up and walked to the table beside him, took the pen and the paper to write the prescription, turned around, and drew the traces on Ta Bahong's body stroke by stroke, Tuoba Wu's eyes widened !
What kind of weird habit is this? !
"You, what are you doing?"
Qin Wan dried the paper, and Tuoba Wu also came over, and saw that Qin Wan really drew the shape of the traces on Tuobahong's body exactly, Qin Wan said, "This may help solve the case."
Tuoba Wu blinked, "How can I help?"
Qin Wan glanced at Ta Bahong who was lying down, "The marks on his body may be from a fall, or they may be left by the murderer. These may reveal the murderer's identity or certain characteristics."
Tuoba Wu pointed to the piece of paper, "Then what does this reveal?"
Qin Wan thought for a while, "It may be that the murderer had some kind of weapon in his hand, or he may have punched or kicked him with his fist. In short, this mark was left on the prince."
Tuoba Wu thought for a while, "It's impossible to punch, and it's impossible to kick. There are two places in the middle."
Qin Wan said, "Could it be the imprint left by some ring or something? As for the feet, maybe his shoes are very special?"
Tuoba Wu understood a little bit, but is a mark really that important
She didn't say anything, but she didn't think so in her heart. Seeing Qin Wan put the paper away, she didn't say much. She sighed and walked to Tuobahong's bed again, "Brother Prince, why don't you Wake up? If you wake up, we will know who murdered you, and who is it that will treat you so cruelly?"
"Now that his condition has not deteriorated, there is still great hope."
Tuoba Wu looked back at Qin Wan, "You said you'd have to wait for five days, and this is only the second day. Although it hasn't gotten worse, it hasn't gotten better, right?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, it hasn't gotten better, just relying on these medicines, it's not easy for him to survive now."
Tuoba Wu's eyes dimmed, and he took Tuobahong's hand. Qin Wan sighed, and suddenly asked, "In the Northern Wei Dynasty, did anyone have an affair with the crown prince?"
Tuoba Wu straightened up and looked at Qin Wan, "You mean..."
"Until now, we don't know where the murderer is. Either His Royal Highness wakes up immediately, or we catch the murderer first. Now it seems that catching the murderer is at least something we can start now."
Qin Wan's voice calmed down, and Tuoba Wu's expression became a bit solemn. After thinking about it, Tuoba Wu shook his head, "No one has ever had a bad relationship with the elder brother of the prince. The elder brother of the prince is highly valued by the emperor, and his status can be said to be high. Absolutely, he is destined to be the crown prince, and he will definitely inherit the throne in the future, even I, apart from that friendship, also respect the prince brother as the future emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and everyone else does the same."
Tuoba Wu's words were settled, but Qin Wan couldn't agree in his heart. Tuoba Wu's thinking was too simple. Since ancient times, there were many imperial power struggles in the emperor's house. Tuoba Wu's reckless and impulsive temperament, and he was not in the palace all year round, so naturally there was no such thing. consciousness.
"If something happens to His Royal Highness, who will inherit the throne in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
When Qin Wan asked like this, a gleam flashed in Tuoba Wu's eyes. After thinking for a while, she said, "Fourth brother, or fifth brother." Seeing that Qin Wan was still looking at her, she continued, "Fourth brother The biological mothers of the younger brother and the fifth younger brother are both noble, and the mother clan is not small, if the elder brother of the crown prince does not inherit the throne, it is likely to be one of the two of them."
After thinking for a moment, Tuoba Wu suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You mean the fifth emperor brother?"
This time only Tuoba Rui followed, Qin Wan obviously doubted Tuoba Rui when he asked this question!
Qin Wan said casually, "Before the matter is found out, everyone is suspicious, especially those who followed up the mountain that day. The prince is a noble person, and the people of Dazhou will definitely not take the prince's life on their own hunting grounds, and among the others , the power struggle is the first reason, so, who does the princess think is the one who killed His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Tuoba Wu thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Couldn't it be Liu Yun?"
Qin Wan nodded, "It is indeed possible. Liu Yun's behavior can destroy the marriage between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and can also provoke a war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. If this is the case, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely choose to make friends with Xiliang, and Xiliang will benefit."
After a pause, Qin Wan said again, "I didn't say that Liu Yun was impossible, I just said that the object of suspicion should not be just a person. If that is the case, it is very likely that he will be trapped and miss the real murderer."
Tuoba Wu stared at Qin Wan in a daze, and here he came again, that serious calm came again, this feeling is really strange, Qin Wan usually never gives people a cold and intimidating feeling, but on some special occasions , but this feeling is extraordinarily strong, giving people a kind of sacred solemnity that they dare not desecrate.
"You, how can you think so much?"
Tuoba Wu was dumbfounded, facing Qin Wan like this, her unruly temper could not help but be suppressed.
Qin Wan smiled and shook her head, "Many people can think of this truth."
Tuoba Wu scratched his head, "Many people can think of it, so everyone suspects that Brother Wu Huang is the murderer?"
Qin Wan was covering Ta Bahong again with a brocade quilt. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Seeing her stunned for a moment, Tuoba Wu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it?"
Qin Wan straightened up and nodded, "Yes, that's right."
…
…
Because of the matter of Tuoba Hong, this big hunt was put on hold. The rain stopped today, and Yan Chi took people up Weishan again. Among the people brought this time, Tuoba Hong and Tuoba Rui The guards of the two teams were all with them, and the others were all questioned last night. If there were no five people separated halfway, only one of them should go up the mountain to explain the route, and if there was any separation, all of them should go up the mountain , Fifty or sixty small teams went up the mountain together that day, and now each team has to determine its own position, one can imagine how complicated this matter must be.
In King Cheng's tent, King Cheng frowned and said, "If Prince Tuoba can't wake up, who will be the successor to the throne in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Lu Xiao said, "It should be the fourth and fifth princes of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Both of them are powerful mothers, and their mother concubines, one is a noble concubine and the other is a concubine. Beloved, in comparison, the prestige of the fourth prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty is a bit higher than that of the fifth prince, but the mother and concubine of the fifth prince should be favored."
King Cheng frowned and thought for a while, "Maybe our people can contact the Fourth Prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Lu Xiao nodded, "Of course it is possible."
King Cheng nodded, "Well, send someone to contact the fourth prince and tell him that the fifth princess should not think about it, but a noble daughter of the clan must be fine."
Lu Xiao was slightly surprised, "Your Highness means..."
King Cheng smiled, "The possibility of Prince Tuoba waking up is too small. Even if he wakes up, it is not certain whether a person is stupid or not. It is basically impossible to continue to be a prince, and this time the eldest prince has an accident. , Princess Tuoba and the fifth prince returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, I am afraid they will be accused one or two, so it seems that the possibility of the fourth prince succeeding to the throne is not small."
"So His Highness wants to contact the fourth prince in advance, before the prince?"
King Cheng nodded, "Of course, we should take more care of the Fifth Prince. I guess, in the past two days, someone will suspect him as a murderer. Tell those who came with you to mention the Fifth Prince during the deliberation." Good word."
Lu Xiao laughed immediately when he heard the words, "Your Highness is really wise. Both sides have made plans. No matter who it is, they will not lose money. Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange it here."
King Cheng smiled, "By the way, let's see if there is any movement from the prince's side."
Lu Xiao nodded and left in response, while in the queen's tent, Zhao Shuhua frowned tightly, "I thought the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty was good, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen halfway."
Yan Che was slightly surprised, "Could it be that the queen mother really wants to marry Zhen'er to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Zhao Shuhua's eyes flashed for a moment, and soon she smiled and said, "As long as you can consolidate your position as the crown prince, what can the queen mother not give up? The prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty looks very good to me, at least compared to Lin'an City's It's a good job for those noble children, not to mention that in the Northern Wei Dynasty, your sister will still be the mother of the world in the future."
Yan Che hesitated to speak, "But, the Northern Wei Dynasty is too far away..."
Zhao Shuhua sighed, "After I entered the palace, how many times have I been out of the palace? How many times have I met your grandfather? Although I am high in the deep palace, am I still alone? Where is it and what is it?" the difference?"
"But... but my sister is different from you. She grew up held in the palm of her hand and didn't understand anything. How can she cope with it in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Zhao Shuhua laughed, "Stupid child, do you think that the mother is born to know these things? At that time, those who don't know will learn, your sister is not stupid." Zhao Shuhua sighed again, "However, the current The situation is a bit complicated, and I can only suppress this idea, what do you think about the matter of Prince Tuoba?"
Yan Che said, "I have some doubts about Tuoba Rui."
Zhao Shuhua smiled, "The battle for the heirloom?"
Yan Che nodded, Zhao Shuhua thought of something and smiled, "If that's the case, it would be great, let the emperor see what kind of bloody case caused by the position of the crown prince is like?"
As she spoke, the smile on Zhao Shuhua's face suddenly disappeared, "He has almost forgotten what happened twenty years ago."
Yan Che only felt that Zhao Shuhua's tone was full of chills when he spoke, but he knew what Zhao Shuhua meant, if Yan Huai wanted to completely stabilize the position of the crown prince, he should grant King Cheng a land and let him get out of Lin'an City!
"Father didn't seem to have any intention of letting King Cheng go to fief the land for a while."
Zhao Shuhua smiled, "Of course, after all, what happened back then was caused by Prince Gong going to fief the land."
Yan Che thought for a while, "Father, is he afraid of becoming a king like Prince Gong?"
When Zhao Shuhua heard this, she immediately sneered. Her smile was faint, and her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she held some hatred and some appreciation, "Prince Cheng Wang Xuegong? No, no, your father The emperor definitely wouldn't think so, how did King Cheng learn from Prince Gong? The Prince Gong back then was full of tricks and tricks. Compared with being cruel and ruthless, who else in the world is better than him? What is King Cheng in front of him? ?”
