Chapter 307 The Mystery of Mercury
When the exhausted Liu Yuan returned to his room again, the embroidery of [Linyuan Xianyu Tu] was still placed on the table. Originally, Liu Yuan only took a glance, but at a glance, he frowned coldly - originally, he thought that the beautiful princess was a painstaking and kind heart. He sent embroidery to him, but what he never expected was that Princess Jinxiu gave him a defective product, and as long as he saw it, he knew that it was something that could not be done again.
[Linyuan Xianyu Picture] is a famous painting, and Liu Yuan himself has been there. Therefore, I am naturally very familiar with that painting. However, what she didn't expect was that the embroidery in front of her was immoral or deliberately destroyed. Therefore, now, it has become a messy picture of a black and defective product. The whole picture is very ugly.
Liu Yuan originally hated Princess Jinxiu. When he saw that what she gave turned into this, naturally, he would say some unpleasant words, and then threw the embroidery in front of Princess Jinxiu who came to offer her treasure. And said a lot of hurtful words.
Originally, Liu Yuan just wanted to get out of Princess Jinxiu with angry words, but what he never expected was that this matter would involve Duan Qingming. Moreover, Princess Jinxiu also went to plead guilty because of this matter.
Liu Yuan knows that this matter, indirectly, is also because of himself. Therefore, he felt a little guilty for a while, so he was even more surprised what happened to the stains on the embroidery, and how Princess Jinxiu was persuaded by Duan Qingming.
"It's mercury."
Duan Qingming said, spread out the embroidery in his hand, pointed to the white and black stains on it, and said carefully, "Do you see it? Because of the extremely special dyeing method, it is extremely difficult for him to fade, whether it is boiling water or the years, but only mercury, as long as it is soaked and placed for a period of time, it will completely fade and become what it is now.
Although Duan Qingming is not sure, this embroidery was specially embroidered by Princess Jinxiu for Liu Yuan. However, Duan Qingming knew that Liu Yuan hated Princess Jinxiu very much, so when he heard Liu Yuan's question, Duan Qingming told Liu Yuan in detail.
"Oh, it turned out to be mercury."
Liu Yuan's sight flashed from the [Linyuan Xianyu Map] and seemed to say casually, "No wonder..."
In the middle of the words, Liu Yuan suddenly turned his eyes, looked at Duan Qingming in an extremely surprised tone, and said in surprise, "Qingming, what are you talking about? Mercury?"
Duan Qingming was thundered by Liu Yuan's reaction. She subconsciously nodded and said, "Yes, only mercury can fade the streamer, and it will become what it is now."
As soon as Liu Yuan heard Duan Qingming's words, he suddenly looked nervous. He clenched Duan Qingming's hand and asked nervously, "Qingming, tell me these principles quickly,... Hurry up."
Duan Qingming was a little surprised and surprised like Princess Jinxiu, but she knew that the matter must have involved something she didn't know. Therefore, she pulled out her hand hard, flattened the embroidery that was wrinkled by Liu Yuan, and began to explain carefully: "This flowing silk is not the silk thread of her own country, but from a foreign port. Because of geography and the particularity of his dyeing method, this silk thread is extremely expensive, but it can be stored. For many years, it will not change color at all. However, it is this kind of flowing silk that is not afraid of anything, but is most afraid of mercury. It can be said that he can't be contaminated at all.
Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly became at a loss. He let go of Duan Qingming's hand in a daze and suddenly said to himself blankly, "What on earth is that?" So it's mercury."
Duan Qingming listened to Liu Yuan's brainless words and was immediately stunned. She subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"
Liu Yuan turned his eyes with a bitter smile. He looked at Duan Qingming and said, "Do you know Qingming? There was an accident around me... Just yesterday... My close servant was poisoned, and outsiders said that he died of an overdose of mercury. At that time, I found the stolen items beside him, so my father easily concluded that the little servant was found to have stolen, so he committed suicide for fear of sin. However, I know that I won't... Because that little servant has never done anything to steal, and he is loyal to me, how can he do these low-class things..."
Duan Qingming listened and said after a long time, "So, do you know why he died?"
Liu Yuan looked gloomy, and then whispered, "I was implicated and killed by me."
Duan Qingming listened and his eyes condensed slightly: "Are you involved? What do you mean?
Liu Yuan listened and sighed slightly: "You know my situation in the prime minister's mansion. The Prime Minister's wife tried her best to stuff people around me, but I was full of people, and the little servant has been following me since the first day I entered the prime minister's mansion. Naturally, I know whether she is loyal or not, but I didn't expect that he was secretly attacked.
Duan Qingming's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly tilted her head and asked, "However, you can't conclude that this pair of destroyed [Linyuan Xianyu Picture] embroidery is the ghost of the Prime Minister's wife."
You should know that the Prime Minister's wife's methods are very smart, and she will not make such a low-level mistake. But now, when Liu Yuan said so, he must have caught something.
Liu Yuan's eyes were cold again, and it seemed that some words were inconvenient to say. However, after all, he couldn't escape Duan Qingming's transparent eyes. He suddenly sighed slightly and whispered, "Because of Niu Bai, they hate me very much. Now they see that although Princess Jinxiu has agreed to the marriage contract with Niu Bai, the wedding date has also been set. However, the beautiful princess still circled around me and made a lot of attention from time to time. For this, they made trouble with their father. Fortunately, my father knew my character, so he just said to me not to get too close to Princess Jinxiu. But recently, I found that they wanted to put hands beside them, so they became alert, but what they didn't expect was... this little servant became a victim.
Liu Yuan's voice is very guilty. Just like the death of the little servant, it was completely caused by him. Duan Qingming listened and was rarely silent.
You know, in this house, almost every family fights to the death. Duan Qingming expressed sympathy for Liu Yuan's experience, but she knew better that if Liu Yuan wanted to grow up better, he must face all this. Because even if she helps, she can only help him for a while, not for a lifetime.
Liu Yuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he didn't know what he saw. He continued to say in a heavy tone, "That day, the beautiful princess sent the embroidery. The person who picked up the embroidery was not the little servant at all, but another one. However, early the next morning, the news came that the little servant had died. Can't you feel anything about it?
Duan Qingming was silent and didn't know how to continue.
As Liu Yuan said, Princess Jinxiu sent the embroidery, and the person who received the embroidery somehow stained the embroidery with mercury, but the next day, another servant died. This matter, in any case, doesn't make sense.
However, there are several things that can be said clearly about everyone in this mansion?
Isn't it still a piece of confusion and fog? Smart people see through everything but can't talk through it. Stupid people desperately search for the truth. In the end, they find that the so-called truth is not what they originally thought.
Duan Qingming was speechless. After a long time, she sighed slightly: "Did you tell Prime Minister Liu about this?"
Liu Yuan looked at Duan Qingming indifferently: "Do you think my father doesn't know what's going on?"
Duan Qingming only felt that her breathing was stagnant, and suddenly, she couldn't say anything.
