Chapter 577 Unintentional mistake
Yichuan followed Xin Yi quietly, separated from her, not far or near.
Xin Yi asked: "Is the prince still calm when he is not here these days?"
Yichuan frowned casually, "Ge Yong has come and examined a thief."
Xin Yi hummed: "…Sima Zhao's heart."
Yichuan: "I didn't let him see Yu's mother and son."
This is a gloomy young man, speaking concisely and meticulously, but unlike Cheng Cang's calm and restrained kind, he clearly has a pair of gentle eyes, but is covered by the melancholy face.
He has a very low presence.
Xin Yi thought about it carefully and saw that he had seen him countless times, but he couldn't tell who he was.
She said, "It seems that Lord Ge has been so nervous because he has not been clean in his hands and feet over the years. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, I don't know what kind of storms this old fox will cause."
Luan Chuan looked over with a expressionless face, "Why did the prince disappear?"
Xin Yi hesitated for a moment, looked at Xingyuan beside him, and briefly told him the news that Duan Sui brought back.
After walking for a while, Luanchuan suddenly stopped.
"arrive."
Xin Yi stopped talking and looked up.
The lights in the dungeon are dim and can only be seen in a square place.
The Yu family and his son were guarding each other separately. Two ditches on both sides were arranged on both sides and had to enter through the same iron gate. Several prisoners in poor uniforms were holding their waist knives and guarding outside the iron gate.
In front of the night room outside the iron gate, two guards in soft armor sat. Seeing Luan Chuan and Xin Yi, they quickly got up to salute.
Luanchuan raised his chin and said, "Open the door!"
The guard clasped his fists, "Yes..."
The key inserted into the keyhole made a cold sound, bringing a bone-broken chill in the silence.
With a clang, the iron door opened, and the flames of the oil lamp reflected the figures in the prison.
Xin Yi was slightly surprised.
Yu was already asleep, crawling on the dry straw, hunched over and curled up like a corpse.
Opposite her, in the same simple earthen prison, she sat her son in a sharp contrast. Her prison clothes were clean and tidy, her hair was tied very neatly, her hands were spread on her sitting knees, and her spine was straight against the wall. If he hadn't suddenly raised his head, the untreated beard and unrestrained astonishment revealed the embarrassment of being imprisoned at this moment, at first glance, I would have thought that he was the noble young master of a wealthy family.
"Doctor Xin is here?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of gentle expressions.
Is this guy a piece of white paper or is it hidden too deeply?
Xin Yi looked at him quietly, through the fence made of iron and wood, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"What's wrong?" Yu Du's voice seemed to have a smile, "The old friend came to see me just to look at me?"
Yichuan shouted coldly: "Talk to the princess of the county!"
Yu Du raised his hands and bowed deeply to Xin Yi and Luan Chuan.
"I have told the prince that day that I don't know what else I can say..."
He paused slightly and looked at Yu, who was motionless in the prison opposite.
"I really didn't know about my mother's affairs. I was surprised to hear that there were mummies and secret passages hidden in my family. The house in Shuimoxiang was originally rented, but later the owner moved to Bianjing and transferred it to my house at a cheap price. This is everything I know."
Compared to Yu's "no explanation", Yu Du did have questions and answers, but there was nothing to say about it.
Xin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at his expression, calm, calm, and not afraid.
She sneered, "Young Master Qingyu is good at disguising. I underestimated you before."
She turned around and motioned for a look. Xingyuan lifted a stool from the night room and placed it outside the prison door.
Xin Yi sat down slowly and said lightly:
"What's wrong with the fairy songs on the Cave Ridge cliff? I hope you will explain it truthfully."
Yu Du's smile in his eyes, and his expression was softer than before.
"It turned out to be for this."
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then sat cross-legged in front of Xin Yi and laughed at her through the prison door:
"I met a distinguished guest on the twelfth floor at the bottom and said that a Taoist temple would be built in the Tuofeng Ridge Mountain. He also said that if there is a fairy fate in Tuofeng Ridge, he will live a long life. He gave it to him, and asked him to write an inscription on the fairy wall. The lower part should naturally follow it. What I thought of at that time was the "Cave Fairy Song" taught by my mother, and wrote it for the distinguished guest to see. He liked it very much and gave it to the next crane inkstone. The inkstone is now placed on the desk in the inner room of the home. If the adults don't believe it, they can take it as evidence."
Xin Yi looked at him silently.
"Who is the distinguished guest?"
Yu Du raised the corner of his lips and sighed quietly.
"I'm ashamed to say that I ate a lot of wine that day. I remember that he said that he had a name and residence, but when he woke up, he completely forgot it. Why is it that the Taoist temple in Tuofengling has something wrong with it? It's related to this case?"
Xin Yi's eyes remained motionless, and he looked at him with a smile.
"Have Master Qingyu been to Tuofengling?"
Yu Du shook his head, "No."
Xin Yi said: "There is no Taoist temple in Tuofeng Ridge."
"Is that true?" Yu Du said suddenly: "Why did that distinguished guest deceive me?"
Xin Yi looked at his still calm face and his facial features that looked a little like Fu Jiuqu under the dim night light, pondering for a moment.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you really don't know the inside story of Tuofengling?"
Yu Du shook his head in confusion and frowned slightly.
"Doctor Xin still doubts me..."
His throat moved and his voice became much deeper.
"Even if I can deceive everyone, I will never deceive you. You are my savior. If it weren't for you, I would have died at that time in Bianjing."
Thinking of this, Xin Yi's eyebrows slightly flirted.
"Do you know, how did you get that disease?"
Yu Du hesitated for a moment, and an obscure smile appeared in his black eyes.
"The prince said first that he had cicadas with me."
Xin Yi said calmly: "The giant aristolochia in your yard is the culprit. Is it because your mother planted such strange flowers at home that you don't have any doubts?"
Yu Du lowered his head in shame and said, "I just thought it was a herb to relieve asthma and cough. Although it smelled uncomfortable, it often had miraculous effects..."
His voice was a little lighter, like a memory.
"I am young and poor, and I don't have money to see a doctor. If I have a cold and cold life, my mother will give me some herbs to take."
"Don't you feel disgusted when you smell that stinking?"
"So what if you smell bad? How could your son suspect his biological mother?"
Listening to his slow and gentle voice, the smile on the corner of Xin Yi's mouth became even colder.
"Will your mother give you the same as you cough?"
"Yeah." Yu Du smiled again, "The family is poor and I can't afford to buy medicine. I will take the herbs I grow myself, my mother will take them too."
"Aristolochia tastes extremely bad, isn't it uncomfortable to eat it?"
"My mother mixed sugar and boiling water and fed me, it was a bit bitter. But..."
He looked up at Xin Yi and smiled calmly, "Where is no medicine that is not bitter?"
Xin Yi pursed his lips slightly, "So, the poison of Aristolochia in your body is not because your mother is sincerely harming you, at most it is an unintentional mistake?"
"Hehe..." Yu Du sneered.
"There are only fathers who abandon their wives and children in the world, so how can they harm their lives?"
