Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 474 Disappear?

Xiao Jiang almost sprained his waist because of his sudden honesty. No, brother, you turned from Malfoy into Ron in an instant!

Xiao Cui strangely realized that his character might be a bit exposed, and immediately changed his expression and solemnly stated: This information cannot be obtained by Zhao Ji, a bastard, alone, so naturally he has to use Zhao Ji to threaten...

Oh no, it’s persuasion, persuading Zhao Sheng to be lenient if he confesses and severe if he resists, and to be a real man with an upright character!

Dogs bite each other and end up with fur in their mouths. I'm afraid that the Zhao family is now in real chaos. Originally, it was just because the secret scroll was lost, but now the family's secrets have been known by him, an "outsider".

Jiang Shangxian nodded absentmindedly, suddenly remembering the young ladies who were captured and killed along with him when he escaped from Feng Shiliang's residence. "Since the Crown Prince has such a secret medicine, why did he capture these young ladies and use their private parts to make the elixir?"

People have always regarded women's menstrual blood as dirty and unlucky. Even when a woman gives birth, the blood in the delivery room is considered unlucky and the husband is not allowed to enter. As the crown prince, why did the prince go to such great lengths when Zhao clearly said that there was a secret medicine that could cure his leg disease?

This was also what Jiang Shangxian had always found strange: "If it were you, would you dare to eat this pill made from Guishui?"

Just thinking about it made her feel like there was a magnitude 5 earthquake in her stomach. Wouldn't she retch continuously if she ate this?

Xiao Cui always followed his heart and immediately shook his head three times: "I don't want it, I don't want to eat it, why should I eat that!"

However, he also had some doubts about what Jiang Shangxian was confused about.

At the beginning, Yan Yin said that the recipe of the pill was made by refining the menstrual fluid of a woman and combining it with a strange medicine like Shengguhua to make a tonic pill. Taking it can unclog the blood vessels and reshape the body.

Shengguhua, Xuelian Jing, and Tai Sui are all extremely rare and miraculous medicines. Ordinary wealthy and noble families would never be able to have them, and even if they did, they would not be able to keep them. The person who could take out these medicines at once must be a member of the royal family.

Generally, unfavored princes might not even be able to get these things.

"Among the princes, the most favored ones must be the three legitimate sons of Empress Wende."

Cui Bian recounted his reasoning for believing the Crown Prince was behind Lady Wu's disappearance: "Among the Crown Prince, the King of Wei, and the King of Jin, only the Crown Prince suffers from a leg disease."

That's why he was sure that the prince was the one who did it. As for the nine young ladies who died later, he suspected the King of Wei.

At that time, the two of them had discussed the matter. The nine young ladies, including Jiang Shangxian, totaled ten people, and they were all arrested on the same day.

The original person was not so hasty in taking action. He did this after Cui Bianxu delivered the memorial to Luoyang. It was obvious that he wanted to kill the previous person.

"You forgot about the East Palace token dropped from the Mirror Sea." Jiang Shangxian reminded.

Cui Bianxu naturally remembered that the two of them had deduced several possibilities at the time, but in the end there was no concrete evidence.

Later, he got engaged to Jiang Shangxian, and brought two broken pieces of chicken blood stone from Jinghai to congratulate him. He also took the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people for the master behind him, and then it was confirmed that the person behind him was the prince.

"Have you ever thought about when the prince came to Jinghai?" Jiang Shangxian felt that this time point was also very important.

When she first met Cong Jinghai, she thought this Shangguanren was a good person. If he had not killed Zhou Fu, Xiao Jiang felt that it was not wrong for a person to be ambitious and want to climb up.

After all, in the officialdom, there are relatively few people like Zhao Shan who are content with the status quo and have no great ambitions.

Don’t you see that Wang Leisheng is very ambitious?

"When this case first began, he probably hadn't yet turned to the Crown Prince."

This is what Cui Bian judged based on Jinghai's behavior. As the chief judge of the Dali Temple, he was in charge of the prisons. Those people who were arrested and imprisoned at that time suffered a lot under his hands. It is no exaggeration to say that it was extremely cruel.

Cui Bianxu stared at the empty teacup, slowly expressing his judgment: "He was just a minor official in the Dali Temple at the time. How could he have attracted the attention of the Crown Prince?"

Assuming that the Crown Prince really did this, if he wanted to win him over, he should have directly won him over as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. What could a mere Sizhi be?

Why did he skip over him and go to Cong Jinghai? Is it because Cui Yi can't compare to him?

Jiang Shangxian licked his lips and asked, "Is it possible that he came here from Jinghai on his own initiative to seek refuge?"

What is the status of Crown Prince Li Chengqian?

Although his personal hobbies and sexual orientation are somewhat unacceptable, the prince has never made any mistakes in government affairs over the years. How could such a person lower his status to win over Cong Jinghai?

Didn’t you see that the Zhao family of Dunhuang had to get enough bargaining chips before they dared to enter Chang’an?

"You mean, the Eastern Palace token lost from Mirror Sea is his stepping stone to join the Crown Prince's army?"

"Exactly!"

Xiao Jiang clapped his palms together. "Assuming that the disappearance of Lady Wu Yue was the Crown Prince's fault, and the nine young ladies were the result of the King of Wei's attempt to frame the Crown Prince, then wouldn't dropping that token from the Mirror Sea be enough to make His Majesty think someone was trying to frame the Crown Prince?"

“Why is it hypothetical?”

Cui Bianxu grasped the implicit meaning in her words and asked, "Besides the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, who else is there?"

"Have!"

Jiang Shangxian raised his head, his grape-like eyes staring at him without blinking, his seriousness tinged with a subtle fear. "Prince of Jin, Li Zhi."

'boom! '

Cui Bianxu suddenly stood up, his hip banging against the corner of the table, causing him to feel a sharp pain. He paid no attention to the pain. His expression was solemn, but his voice was very low. "Prince Jin? Did you know he's only twelve this year?"

Prince Jin Li Zhi has always given people the impression of being a somewhat timid, filial, and bookish person, not to mention that when Lady May disappeared, Prince Jin was only ten years old.

The Crown Prince and the King of Wei were arguing so fiercely in the court that none of the court officials even thought of the King of Jin, the youngest legitimate son.

Jiang Shangxian was a little flustered, but for some reason, she always felt that this matter had something to do with Li Zhi.

No, it cannot be said to be Li Zhi.

He should be the time traveler in Li Zhi's body.

Ten-year-old Li Zhi couldn't do this, but the time traveler of unknown age hiding in Li Zhi's body could do it.

Jiang Shangxian had been thinking about this these days while he was sitting in the carriage with a book in his hand and daydreaming. The smell of Li Zhi's sachet was the same as the smell of the Buddhist beads he had retrieved last time, which was already very problematic.

But this matter is not 100% certain, and she will never tell anyone that she came from the past.

But she judged that her so-called tasks were not assigned by some stupid system that only used tasks and Buddhist beads to hit her head, but were assigned by the time traveler "Li Zhi".

But she still didn't understand. As a fellow time traveler, what was the meaning of those inexplicable tasks given to her by this 'Li Zhi'?
