Qin Wan looked at a dagger in Sun Muqing's package and frowned.
It was not a dagger with a strange shape, on the contrary, it was very ordinary, but the dagger was made of bronze, because it had been a few years ago, and the engraving on it was a little unclear. Sun Muqing took Qin Wan to that house that day, and inside The things piled up were all the Shen family's things. Qin Wan glanced over, and everything was very familiar to her, but she was too emotional that day, so she didn't take a closer look at it until today when Sun Muqing brought the buried things.
Qin Wan asked so directly because she knew other things, but she didn't know this dagger.
Shen Yi is a Confucian official, and he doesn't like to collect weapons. In addition to the kitchen knives and hatchets in their house, there is her set of short knives. Qin Wan has never seen this dagger before.
When Qin Wan asked, Sun Muqing hurriedly said, "It's just a dagger, I don't know it either, but it should belong to my uncle."
Sun Muqing didn't feel that there was a problem, so she just took out the contents of the package one by one, which belonged to Shen Yi and his wife, and which belonged to Shen Guan. Seeing Qin Wan's reaction, Yan Chi knew that there might be something wrong with the dagger, but Seeing Sun Muqing took out Shen Guan's things, Yan Chi couldn't help but look at them.
"What is this?" Yan Chi pointed to the small medicine pestle.
Sun Muqing looked at Yan Chi for a moment, knowing that Yan Chi should know who he was here to set up a tomb for today, and said simply, "This is the medicine pestle that my junior sister used to use."
Yan Chi's heart was a little moved, he knew very little about Shen Guan in the past, now seeing Shen Guan's relics, he felt that it was naturally extraordinary.
On the other side, Qin Wan picked up the dagger, "Where did you find this?"
A patina grew on the dagger, so that it covered up the handwriting. When asked, Sun Muqing immediately said, "When the garden was being repaired, it was dug out from the soil, and many things were dug out. After the house was burned, one No one took care of it for a year, and many things were buried in the soil."
Sun Muqing explained that the dagger did not look like new, but Qin Wan was looking at the writing on the dagger.
Her expression was unprecedentedly dignified, which suddenly made Yan Chi and Sun Muqing feel that something was wrong. Han Dong stood not close or far away, but also felt strange but didn't dare to ask more.
Yan Chi stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Qin Wan's thumb landed on the handle of the dagger, and she exerted all her strength, as if she wanted to wipe off all the patina on it. Yan Chi saw that her knuckles were turning white, and felt that things were a little weird. "What happened to the dagger?"
"Tai Ah... this dagger is called Tai Ah..."
The word engraved on the handle of the dagger is indeed the word Tai'a, but this is clearly a dagger.
"Tai'a is one of the ten famous swords in ancient times. It is also a bronze sword. According to rumors, it is a sword of prestige and Taoism. It was owned by King Chu Wei of the ancient Chu Kingdom. King Chu Wei has a heroic temperament and conquers the world. It was a generation of killing gods at that time, and later led the ancient Chu Kingdom to unify Zhongzhou.
Qin Wan looked at the dagger carefully, then turned around and handed the dagger to Yan Chi, "Look at it."
Qin Wan didn't understand weapons, but Yan Chi did. He took a dagger and tied a flower in his hand, and said, "This dagger is not very old, maybe only ten years old, and it wasn't made by a master swordsmith, or It is a very common object in the Jianjian Workshop, the arc of the blade is a bit off, it should be cast by a novice."
Generally speaking, this dagger is not top grade as a weapon.
Sun Muqing stood aside, looked at Qin Wan, and then at Yan Chi, not understanding why the two of them suddenly began to study this thing.
Thinking that this is Shen Yi's relic, Sun Muqing couldn't help saying, "Princess, Your Highness, this dagger... should be nothing special..."
Qin Wan didn't know what to think of, his face was serious, even his pupils were trembling slightly, Sun Muqing didn't know Qin Wan well enough, but Yan Chi would not let go of any change in Qin Wan, he felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help raising his hand Holding Qin Wan's shoulders, "What's wrong?"
Qin Wan swallowed with difficulty, and turned her eyes to look at the dagger in Yan Chi's hand. The corners of her lips moved slightly, but she was obviously concerned about the presence of other people, so she didn't tell the truth. She collected herself and turned her eyes to see To Sun Muqing, "Master Sun, this dagger should not be a relic of the Shen family."
Sun Muqing was a little surprised, "But... But I dug it out in the garden?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "You should know what kind of person he is, Miracle Doctor Sun, may this dagger be given to me?"
Sun Muqing's eyes widened, and Qin Wan lowered his eyes and said, "You should know that King Cheng is investigating the corpse case in the Jin Palace. This dagger may have something to do with that case. You can trust me and forget about this dagger from now on." , how are you?"
Naturally, Sun Muqing was reluctant to give up Shen Yi's belongings, but he trusted Qin Wan very much. Seeing that Qin Wan's face was dignified and did not seem to be fake, Sun Muqing had no choice but to say, "That... that's fine... Actually, I can't tell the difference, it's just that it's in the yard. I found it, and I subconsciously thought it was.”
Qin Guan heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't mention this dagger to anyone again."
While talking, Qin Wan took out a handkerchief and wrapped the dagger blade. Yan Chi knew that it was important, so he took it and put it in his sleeve pocket.
The dagger was an accident, but Qin Wan didn't say much. After putting away the dagger, she accompanied Sun Muqing to enshrine the relics she brought. Although she was still not in a hurry, even Sun Muqing noticed the seriousness on her body. Cold, she is restraining, restraining herself to appear calm.
So Sun Muqing lost her mind, and after all the relics were buried, Han Dong invited them to walk up a certain distance, and saw a tea house beside the tea field, which Han Dong had temporarily rented out, so Qin Wan The group rested here, while Han Dong went to look for the craftsmen who closed the tomb. After the tomb was closed, they would return to the capital after worshiping again. There was only Sun Muqing by her side. Yan Chi couldn't help but hold Qin Wan's hand. Just now, he realized that Qin Wan's hands were so cold, Yan Chi was slightly surprised. He could see what Qin Wan had discovered, and knew that it was inconvenient for Qin Wan to say that he was still restraining himself, but he had never seen Qin Wan's hands so cold. As if frightened.
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan with concern, but Qin Wan held Yan Chi with his backhand. There was a bit of fear hidden deep in her black and white eyes, which fell into Yan Chi's eyes undisguisedly. Anxiety also surged up, there are too few facts that can frighten Qin Wan, and what does this dagger mean
After entering the teahouse, Sun Muqing fell silent. He could see that Qin Wan and Yan Chi seemed to know something, but as if it was inconvenient to tell him, they both chose to restrain themselves. Sun Muqing sighed, and he promised Qin Wan If Wan wanted to forget about the dagger, he would do it, so he got up and said, "You guys sit here and wait, I'll go out and take a look around."
Yan Chi was worried, so he asked Bai Ying to follow. As soon as they left, Yan Chi immediately looked at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan also looked up at Yan Chi, her voice tremblingly said, "I know... what is written in Li Muyun's notebook..."
As soon as Qin Wan said this, Yan Chi's expression changed slightly. He glanced at the dagger in his sleeve pocket, and without Qin Wan's further words, he understood instantly, "So... this dagger is the one that killed Concubine Jin. The murder weapon?! It is precisely because Master Shen learned of the whereabouts of this dagger from King Jin that he brought disaster?"
Shen Yi had private meetings with King Jin several times, but they did not leave any evidence. Everyone was curious about what Shen Yi and King Jin had talked about. Then Shen Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong, and Li Muyun actually reported Shen Yi on the paper. The point of exposure must be related to this dagger.
Li Muyun thought that Shen Yi wanted to protect King Jin, so he hid the murder weapon, but he never expected that the person who killed Concubine Jin was the emperor!
That's why there was the Shen family that was later exterminated by the imperial guards.
Yan Chi frowned and said, "So the person who killed Concubine Jin must be the Emperor."
Yan Chi thought that Qin Wan's fright came from the identification of the murderer, but after she asked this, Qin Wan's complexion turned even paler, and she shook her head, "No, it's more than that... Father is going to run away, the Shen family will be wiped out, The death of King Jin and Concubine Jin is all because... because they discovered a bigger... secret... "
Qin Wan's voice was trembling, and her palms were dripping with cold sweat. She took a deep breath, and fixed her eyes on Yan Chi, "There are many things we haven't figured out, why Yan Li was registered as Prince Gong, why Fu Fu His child will survive, why the wound healed after healed, why the emperor must abolish the crown prince... so many questions... are just..."
As soon as Qin Wan stopped speaking, it seemed that she was still a little afraid to reveal that secret to her mouth.
She grasped Yan Chi's hand tightly, "Do you still remember the hairpin she gave me after you took me to see Princess Gong?"
Yan Chi nodded. He only took Qin Wan to Prince Gong's Mansion once, so he naturally remembered that time.
Qin Wan said hoarsely, "The inscription on the hairpin is exactly the same as that on this dagger."
Yan Chi didn't react for the first moment, but soon, his pupils twitched, the corners of his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say a word, a chill came up from the soles of his feet, He finally understood why Qin Wan's eyes were filled with fear.
…
…
Sun Muqing came back from a stroll, but found that the atmosphere in the small tea room became more and more condensed.
Sun Muqing looked at Qin Wan, then at Yan Chi, seeing that the two had no intention of talking, so she had no choice but to say nothing with a heavy heart.
However, he knew that everything was triggered by that dagger.
Isn't that dagger belonged to Uncle Shen? If it wasn't Uncle Shen's stuff, how could it be in Shen's house
Sun Muqing couldn't figure it out, but vaguely felt that things were not so simple, but Qin Wan had reminded him many times that the capital city was not as simple as he thought.
The three of them had their own thoughts. After waiting for an hour, Han Dong came to invite them again. When they arrived at the cemetery, they saw that the tombs were all closed. Naturally, he was the first to go up to worship, and when it was Qin Wan and Yan Chi's turn, he was surprised to find that both Qin Wan and Yan Chi had bowed and kowtowed three times. Sun Muqing immediately felt very embarrassed.
After the two saluted, Sun Muqing said, "I am really grateful to the princess. Uncles and aunts must be very grateful to see the princess so much trouble in the spirit of heaven."
Sun Muqing was very moved while talking, even if ordinary friends help, they would not do such a big gift, not to mention Qin Wan and Yan Chi are noble, Qin Wan really cares about his affairs too much!
It was not early at this moment, Qin Wan and Yan Chi pretended to be something in their hearts, and naturally wanted to return to the capital quickly. Qin Wan didn't say much, and then told Han Dong to take care of the aftermath, and then took Sun Muqing down the mountain, but just halfway there, the sky Suddenly it snowed!
Sun Muqing said pleasantly, "This is the first snow this year!"
The fog of truth was cleared away, and Qin Wan suddenly knew where her father's panic of last year came from. At this moment, she felt cold all over her body, and suddenly knew why her father made such absurd decision. What's more, after this murderous case, what is hidden is such a secret that is enough to tear the world apart!
Even the father didn't have the courage to expose it and chose to escape, so what about her
Qin Wan looked at the falling snow particles and felt sad. As a woman, she couldn't erect a tombstone with the owner's name on it. After a year, she managed to find out the truth, but the truth made her helpless. Despair welled up in Wan's heart, feeling guilty and unwilling at the same time.
Yan Chi held Qin Wan's hand and led her into the carriage. Yan Chi's hand was strong, and he silently gave Qin Wan strength. Because of the snow, it got dark very early this day, and it was dark when it was dozens of miles away from the capital.
It was snowing and the sky was dark. Yan Chi and his horses were alright, but Qin Wan was a little bumpy in the carriage. Yan Chi slowed down the carriage, and he took advantage of this moment to clear his mind. In the carriage, Qin Wan also She was sorting out her thoughts, but after thinking about it many times, she finally affirmed her answer.
The truth is inevitable, but it is cruel and fantastic. Who would believe such a thing? ! Will the empress dowager believe it? Will the prince believe it
Qin Wan suddenly thought of the queen, that tall, always proud and graceful woman.
The truth is separated by the complicated and heavy curtains. The magnificence and wealth of the royal family have attracted the eyes of many people. Among so many people, it is obvious that the queen is the first to discover the secret. Yan Che came to power, and now, all the paradoxes have been explained.
Qin Wan suddenly admired the master of Kunning Palace very much.
It took more than half an hour to arrive outside the capital city. It was already late at night, and there was a curfew at the gate of the capital city. However, Yan Chi and Qin Wan had extraordinary identities, and they were engaged to each other. Entering the city, Yan Chi suddenly reined in his horse when he saw the group of people under the city gate.
Qin Wan lifted the curtain of the car, Yan Chi said in a deep voice, "It's not right—"
Qin Wan raised her eyes and saw that the city gates were tightly closed and the towers were pitch black. When she listened intently again, it seemed that no human voice could be heard. Qin Wan narrowed her eyes. What's the matter? !
