Hu Yinghao was stunned and looked inside following Wen Qingzhu's figure.
what happened? Have you been exposed
Before he could start, Yao Ban had already followed him in advance.
Hu Yinghao had no choice but to follow quickly.
Once inside the house, Wen Qingzhu had already reached out and opened the box.
A head that looked several days old appeared before them.
This head is none other than that of Grandma Zhaoer.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment. At that time, Zhao'er's grandma was killed. Only the body was left, but the head was missing.
She raised her head and looked at Hu Yinghao: "Where did you find this head?"
"It's over there at the west city gate." Hu Yinghao looked at the head and his heart went crazy.
In fact, someone found this head last night. The hair accessories on the head looked very much like those worn by women of the Wu tribe.
According to Wu Zuo's determination, the head had been dead for at least half a month, but there were still no signs of decay.
That's why they immediately reported to Hu Yinghao.
Last night, Hu Yinghao didn't take it seriously at all. After seeing it, he asked someone to deal with it first.
This was the last thing to deal with. He was already very tired and fell asleep on the table without realizing it.
In his dream, Hu Yinghao saw the head talking to him.
"Let me see Wen Qingzhu, Wen Qingzhu, Qingzhu, Qingzhu..."
Immediately, Hu Yinghao was frightened and woke up, but he did not expect that it was already dark.
He hurriedly sent someone to bring the head over again and carefully packed it in a box.
Until news came from his subordinates that Wen Qingzhu had arrived in the city.
Then he hurried out.
"Is there any problem?" Wen Qingzhu's words brought Hu Yinghao back from his thoughts.
He was so frightened that he took several steps back, and everyone's eyes inevitably fell on him.
Yao Ban even looked at the head thoughtfully.
"No! There's no problem! Is this person known to Madam?" Hu Yinghao didn't dare to talk nonsense, especially since Yao Ban, a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, is here.
"Yes, come on, call Zhao'er." Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand and covered the box.
When the lid fell on her eyes, she seemed to see her eyelids tremble in a daze.
Wen Qingzhu's hand stopped suddenly, opened the cover again, and stared at the head in front of him carefully.
Is it her imagination
She put on gloves and pressed the eyes of the head. All the muscles and skin were completely necrotic. The reason why it hadn't rotted yet might be because some antiseptic potion was used.
"Madam! Is there anything wrong with this head?" Hu Yinghao was so frightened that he took two steps back again.
Wen Qingzhu retracted his hand and looked up at him: "I just saw her blink."
"Ah!" Hu Yinghao finally couldn't control himself anymore and ran out rolling and crawling.
But after a while, he returned to the door tremblingly, his calves trembling, and he held on to the door frame to steady himself.
At this time, Yao Ban walked over, looked at this side, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Madam, this man has been dead for a long time. Did you say this to scare Mr. Hu?"
"Hey..." Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand to cover the lid, turned to look at Yao Ban and praised, "I originally wanted to scare Mr. Yao, but Mr. Yao is as stable as a mountain, which really makes me ashamed. I will not use these clumsy tricks in the future. "
Of course Yao Ban didn't believe it. Wen Qingzhu didn't even look at him just now.
Not even a little attention.
After Yao Ban left, Hu Yinghao honestly told Wen Qingzhu about his dream last night.
At the end, he cried until he had a lot of tears and snot: "Madam, Wei Chen really didn't lie. He really dreamed about this, and it scared Wei Chen awake."
Wen Qingzhu sat in the upper seat, put down the tea cup leisurely, and said calmly: "Of course I believe you."
"Thank you, madam!" Hu Yinghao was afraid that Wen Qingzhu would blame him, but he finally felt at ease.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu's next words were: "Because I once saw a head and then dreamed about that head."
Suddenly, Hu Yinghao's crying stopped.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and looked ahead, his thoughts slowly drifting away.
That happened a long time ago.
Perhaps it was precisely because she had never been able to be cruel to Fu Lie and was finally held in check by Wen Qinglan and Pei Zhixuan that she lost Jiang Yuancheng's trust.
That day, the weather was not very good and there were dark clouds.
It looked like it was going to rain, but not a drop fell.
She took Fuer in the backyard and taught him calligraphy.
After a while, someone came over to report that a hundred-year-old Wu tribesman had been discovered from the Cangyun Mountains.
The head has been sent to the capital and is in prison.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange when he got the news.
It happened that Jiang Yuancheng was not here, so she was secretly responsible for all matters in the capital.
She handed Fu'er to her nanny and went to the prison.
When Wen Qingzhu saw the head, his heart immediately shook.
This was an old man with snow-white hair and a face full of wrinkles. His eyes seemed closed, but she always felt like they might open them at any time.
Wen Qingzhu turned to the person responsible for transporting the head and asked, "How long has he been dead?"
"It's been a month. Many of the brothers in charge of this head have died unexpectedly. If His Highness hadn't invited an expert to send it to him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to send it to the capital. I wanted to ask the master of Fengguo Temple to take a look."
Wen Qingzhu's heart became heavy. If it had really been a month, then this head was a bit special.
"Master Jiudeng of Fengguo Temple has been missing for many years. Who else is there?"
The person in charge was about to answer when Wen Qinglan's voice came from outside.
"Hey! Seventh sister! Your Highness has already said that we should share the affairs of the house together. Why did my sister come here alone?"
Seeing the familiar figure at the door, Wen Qingzhu immediately gave the person in charge a look.
She herself turned around and walked out, not wanting to pay attention to Wen Qinglan at all.
"Stop! Show me what's in the box, show me!" Wen Qinglan called out to the person in charge.
But he just bowed respectfully, turned around and left.
Wen Qinglan did not dare to offend Jiang Yuancheng's people casually, but she dared to offend Wen Qingzhu, the nominal Mrs. Fu!
"Mrs. Fu! You are so awesome! You are a member of General Fu, and you can still make His Highness miss you!"
Wen Qingzhu was too lazy to pay attention to her and quickened his pace.
Wen Qinglan behind her became more and more hysterical: "Wen Qingzhu! Let me tell you! Don't give me a chance to catch you! Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death!"
After returning to the yard, Wen Qingzhu was in a bad mood, but she immediately made herself smile.
"Fu'er, come here and show me how your handwriting is doing?"
Fu'er came over with a copybook and tried his best to please her without showing any signs: "Mom! Look, I have written everything."
Wen Qingzhu held his hand and sat down, feeling a little better.
Fortunately, Fu'er was with her.
When the maids were no longer here, Fu'er pulled Wen Qingzhu's sleeve and asked, "Mom! When will I return to our house?"
"This is our home." Wen Qingzhu looked outside warily and corrected him again.
But Fu'er asked her in surprise: "Mom, don't lie to me. This is the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Dad is still fighting in the northwest. The General's Mansion is our home. Dad said before he left for the war that he would teach me how to practice when he comes back." Sword.”
At this time, Wen Qingzhu fell silent.
From the time she married Fu Lie until she became pregnant and gave birth to Fu'er, Fu Lie didn't ask anything from the beginning to the end.
Even though Fu Lie knew that Fu'er was not his child, he still treated him as his own child.
This was the first time Wen Qingzhu started to think formally, was it really right to do what he did
Fu Lie is innocent.
At night, Wen Qingzhu coaxed Fu'er to sleep, and wanted to see if Jiang Yuancheng had any news back.
But she found that she was very sleepy, so she decided to take a nap on the couch now.
That night, she had a dream.
I saw Jiang Yuancheng's head sent back from the Cangyun Mountains.
He really opened his eyes this time, looked at her quietly and said, "Madam, when General Fu returns victorious this time, he will kill him."
"Impossible! His Highness promised me that he would only let Fu Lie retire and return home!" Wen Qingzhu retorted almost subconsciously.
But the head showed a disappointed expression: "Why is it you? If it weren't for you, Fu Lie would not die, and our Wu clan would still have a glimmer of hope. Why is it you?"
Wen Qingzhu stopped answering and just looked at him coldly.
At the end, he finally said the last words: "Fu Lie will return in triumph in ten days. At that time, Jiang Yuancheng will send a message in your name and intercept him halfway."
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes and found Fu'er holding his hand.
"Mom! What's wrong with you?" Fu'er was very worried.
Wen Qingzhu shook her head and asked the servants to get out. She had to take her time.
The room finally became quiet, and Fu'er suddenly handed her a small bamboo tube quietly: "Mom! Dad has written a letter to you."
Wen Qingzhu was stunned: "Are you talking about Fu Lie?"
"Yes, Fu'er only has one father." Fu'er was very puzzled.
Wen Qingzhu was about to say that King Chu is your biological father, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered Jiang Yuancheng's instructions.
I could only swallow it.
After reading the letter, Wen Qingzhu was shocked to find that what the man said was true.
In the secret letter, Fu Lie told her that he would return triumphantly in ten days and wanted to give her a surprise.
At the end, he vaguely expressed that if she could pick him up, he would be very happy.
Wen Qingzhu panicked at that time, that dream was true!
She immediately went to the various officials in the Chu Palace and verified it carefully. No one knew the news.
But Fu Lie's was delivered to Fu'er, which showed that Fu Lie knew everything.
Wen Qingzhu burst into tears immediately. She really didn't want to use Fu Lie anymore.
She turned back, found Fu'er, and immediately told him: "Your father is Jiang Yuancheng! He is His Highness the King of Chu, and he is the prince whom the Emperor ultimately values!"
"Wen Qingzhu! You are talking nonsense!" From inside the curtain, Wen Qinglan suddenly jumped out, wanting to kill her directly.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at her coldly, turned around and ordered: "Here comes someone! Send Concubine Lan down!"
The secret guard appeared silently and escorted Wen Qinglan away from here.
After careful consideration and deployment, Wen Qingzhu avoided all Jiang Yuancheng's eyes and sent a letter to Fu Lie, telling him that Jiang Yuancheng was going to be detrimental to him.
Later, Fu Lie escaped the disaster safely.
