Chapter 229 Murong's Former Residence
The city of Eternal Cold has entered the deep winter, but the small building in front of us is surrounded by osmanthus flowers that have already bloomed.
Zuo Weiyue clearly felt that the temperature of this area was much higher than that of the City Lord's Mansion where she had stayed before.
She thought there should be some kind of hot spring nearby, and sure enough, what Xiao Siyi said next quickly confirmed her guess.
He asked: "Do you need to get under the collar? Although there is a hot spring heating pool nearby, it is still cold outside. If you squat on my shoulder, I am afraid you will get cold."
The Eternal Cold City is no better than the capital city. If converted to the temperature in the Magic World, it would be at least 20 degrees below zero. Zuo Weiyue didn't want to turn into a fox popsicle and quickly got into Xiao Si Yi's collar.
, and then went to look at the small building hidden in the dense sweet-scented osmanthus forest with a lot of weeds growing there.
"Your aunt seems to like osmanthus very much. When Prince Gong visited your aunt's grave before, I saw that he brought some dried osmanthus and sprinkled it over."
Little Si Yi closed the collar that was stretched open by Zuo Weiyue's plump fox body, and stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one shallow while walking in. He said to her: "I like it better. Usually she uses the sachet, including wearing it."
The clothes she wore and the jewelry she wore were all related to osmanthus. At that time, my mother always liked to tease her, maybe she was the reincarnation of the osmanthus spirit."
What Zuo Weiyue said was spread through the brain bond she temporarily established in Xiao Siyi's mind, but Xiao Siyi forgot to use the brain bond back at this moment and said it directly, which shocked him
Ah Zheng, who was helping him explore the way, jumped.
He stopped, looked at Xiao Siyi in confusion and asked, "Sir, are you talking to your subordinates?"
But he didn't ask any questions.
Xiao Siyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after realizing that he had said it directly, and lied: "No, I just saw my aunt's previous residence and missed her a little, so I was just talking to myself."
After sending Azheng away, we arrived at the small building that was overgrown with weeds and where we could see several wild rabbits escaping out.
Zuo Weiyue felt cold, so she did not move away from the collar of Xiao Si Yi's clothes, but continued to look around.
She hadn't noticed the forest before she entered it. After entering, she saw an osmanthus tree with a trunk as thick as at least three adult men's arms, planted on the side of a rockery in the southwest corner.
There were also a lot of kits hanging on the trees that looked like they were used for prayers, but they were all frozen and couldn't be blown by the cold wind.
Finding that she was looking at this thing, Xiao Siyi followed her gaze and asked her in a low voice when Ah Zheng entered the house to drive away the wild rabbits that had not finished walking inside: "What's the matter? You want to hang a brocade too?"
bag?"
Zuo Weiyue shook the fox's head: "No, I just feel that those kits look at least twice as big as those usually used for prayers. What is in them? Is it really just a small note?
?”
After being reminded by her, Xiao Siyi realized that this seemed to be the case.
After thinking about it for a while, after Ah Zheng had driven away all the wild rabbits nesting in the house, he asked Ah Zheng to bring back every piece of kit hanging on the tree.
Without Ah Zheng, Zuo Weiyue could be more arrogant. She controlled the plump fox body to get off the collar of Xiao Si Yi's clothes and landed on the ground. While going through the cabinets in the house, she asked Xiao Si Yi:
"Do you think this place has been searched in advance? I think the decorations in this house are good, and your aunt's status is extraordinary. If someone finds this place, she will definitely not leave empty-handed, right?"
"Probably not. Although I didn't know where this place was before, my father still knows about it. Since it is my aunt's residence, he should send someone to guard it."
The black and rusty jewelry that Zuo Weiyue saw next in the drawer of the dressing table also proved what Xiao Siyi said.
There are almost all valuable things in the house, including a lot of holes gnawed by mice on the bed and mattress, and some grass nests stained with wild animal hair.
After Zuo Weiyue looked through another cabinet and still found nothing, the fox suddenly tripped on a stone that didn't know where it came from and fell down. The fox's body followed and fell under the bed.
She got up with a slight hiss and shook off the dust on the fox fur. Just as she was about to go out, she looked up and found a picture of a beauty buried with osmanthus flowers inlaid on the bed above her head.
"Who put the painting under the bed board? You can't see it."
While mumbling, Zuo Weiyue wanted to reach out to take down the painting and take a closer look, but she forgot that she was using a fox body, and the hand she extended was also a fox paw with sharp nails.
When he stretched it out like this, he made a big hole in the painting.
"."
She retracted the fox paw with a guilty conscience, but when she retracted it, she found something in the hole, which was brought to the entrance of the hole by her fingernails and stuck there.
I took a closer look and saw that it looked like an envelope, so I quickly used my fox paw to make the hole bigger.
As the scroll became more damaged, the envelope inside successfully fell out of the hole.
Zuo Weiyue was afraid that she would scratch the envelope if she continued to touch the letter with her fox paw, so she used the temporary bond established in her mind to ask Xiao Siyi to come over.
"It seems to be left by your aunt, please open it and take a look."
The little fox came out from under the bed and shook the dusty fox fur again. He looked at the yellowed envelope held in little Si Yi's hand with curiosity on his face.
The envelope was opened. In addition to a piece of yellowed letter paper, there was also a ring engraved with osmanthus flowers.
Xiao Siyi put the ring away and opened the envelope to read it. Zuo Weiyue also leaned the fox's head to read the contents.
There were not many words written in the letter, and it didn't even take up one side of the letter paper. The general content was that she still liked the man named "Qingzhou", but the situation at home did not allow her to do so, so she could only regret and be with him.
He separated and told him not to act excessively, lest he get himself into trouble.
It's just that this letter seemed unfinished. At the end, the writing and ink stopped, and there wasn't even a signature.
Some clear traces of dried tears could be seen faintly smearing some of the words, and the envelope was not sealed with wax. At first glance, it was clear that it was a letter that had not been sent.
"Could this Qingzhou be Prince Gong? Si Yi, do you know what the nickname of Prince Gong is? Is it called this?"
Xiao Siyi shook his head: "The names of the members of the Xiding royal family usually take one of the four characters of 'benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom'. The name 'Qingzhou' does not fit this point. Perhaps, this Qingzhou belongs to someone else."
.”
Apart from this envelope, Zuo Weiyue and Xiao Siyi turned the small building upside down and gained nothing else.
When one person and one fox sat down to rest, Ah Zheng entered the house covered in snow and carrying a small red prayer bag in a cloth bag.
"Sir, I brought the things here. Do you want to take them apart one by one and look at them?"
