After defeating the paranoid villain, I failed to escape

The city of eternal cold has entered the deep winter, but the small building in front of me is surrounded by osmanthus flowers that have already bloomed.

Zuo Weiyue clearly felt that the temperature in this area was much higher than the City Lord's Mansion where she stayed before.

Presumably there should be some kind of hot spring nearby, as expected, what Xiao Siyi said next quickly confirmed her guess.

He asked: "Do I need to get under my collar? Although there is a hot spring pool near here, it is still cold outside. If you squat on my shoulder, you may suffer from the cold."

The City of Eternal Cold is no better than that of the capital. If the temperature here is converted to that of the magical world, at least it is minus degrees. Zuo Weiyue didn't want to become a fox popsicle, so she quickly got into Xiao Siyi's collar , and then went to look at the small building hidden in the dense osmanthus forest with a lot of weeds.

"Your aunt seems to like sweet-scented osmanthus very much. When Prince Gong visited your aunt's grave before, I saw him bring some dried sweet-scented osmanthus to sprinkle over."

Xiao Siyi gathered the collar stretched by Zuo Weiyue's fat fox body, stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow and walked in, and replied to her: "I like it better, the sachet she usually uses, including wearing The jewelry she wears on her clothes is also related to sweet-scented osmanthus, at that time my mother always liked to tease her, maybe she is the reincarnation of sweet-scented osmanthus essence."

What Zuo Weiyue said was transmitted by the brain bond she temporarily established in Xiao Siyi's mind, but Xiao Siyi forgot to use the brain bond to return at this moment, so he just said it like that, which scared him Ah Zheng, who was helping him find the way, jumped up.

He stopped in his tracks, looked at Xiao Siyi puzzled and asked, "My lord, are you talking to your subordinates?"

But he didn't ask any questions.

Xiao Siyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head when he realized that he said it directly, and lied: "No, I just saw my aunt's previous residence, and I miss her a little bit, just talking to myself."

After sending Ah Zheng away, Xiaozhu, which was covered with weeds and where several wild rabbits could be seen scurrying out, also arrived.

Zuo Weiyue thought it was cold, so she didn't leave the collar of Xiao Si Yi's clothes, but continued to look around.

She didn't notice it when she didn't come into the forest just now, but when she came in, she saw an osmanthus tree with at least the thickness of three adult men hugging it planted on the side of a rockery in the southwest corner.

There are also many kits that look like prayers are hung on the tree, but they are all frozen and can't be blown by the cold wind.

Realizing 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 chase away the wild rabbits that hadn't finished walking inside: "What's the matter, you also want to hang brocades?" bag?"

Zuo Weiyue shook the fox's head: "No, it's just a feeling, those kits look at least twice as big as the kits used for praying, what's in them, is it really just a small note ?"

After being reminded by her like this, Xiao Siyi realized that it seemed to be the case.

After thinking for a while, after Ah Zheng drove away all the wild rabbits that were nesting in the house, he asked Ah Zheng to bring back all the kits hanging on the tree.

Without Ah Zheng, Zuo Weiyue could be a little more presumptuous. She manipulated the fat fox body to get down from Xiao Siyi's collar and landed on the ground. While going through the cabinets in the room, she asked Xiao Siyi:

"Do you think this place has been searched in advance? I think the decorations in this room are all good, and your aunt's status is not ordinary. 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 knew it. Since it is my aunt's residence, he should send someone to guard it."

And the blackened and rusty jewelry that Zuo Weiyue saw in the drawer of the dressing table next proved what Xiao Siyi said.

There are almost the same valuables in the house, that is, there are many holes for mice to gnaw on the bed and mattress, and some grass nests stained with wild animal hair.

After Zuo Weiyue looked at another cabinet, but still found nothing, the fox's hind paw suddenly tripped over a stone that came from nowhere, and fell directly, and the fox fell under the bed.

With a soft hiss, she got up and shook off the dust on the fox fur. Just as she was about to go out, she looked up and found that there was a picture of a beautiful woman burying osmanthus flowers embedded in the bed above her head.

"Who put the painting under the bed board, and I can't see it."

While muttering, Zuo Weiyue wanted to reach out to take down the painting for a closer look, but forgot that she was using the body of a fox now, and the hand she stretched out was also a fox's claw with sharp nails.

As soon as it was stretched out like this, a big hole was drawn in the painting.

"."

She retracted the fox's paw with a guilty conscience, but when she retracted it, she found that there was something in the hole that was brought to the hole by her nails and stuck there.

Taking a closer look, it looked like an envelope, so I quickly used the fox's claws to make the hole bigger.

As the picture scroll cracked more and more seriously, the envelope inside also successfully fell out of the hole.

Zuo Weiyue was afraid that she would scratch the envelope if she continued to touch the letter with the fox's paw, so she used the temporary bond built in her mind to let Xiao Siyi come over.

"It seems to be left by your aunt, you open it and have a look."

The little fox who came out from under the bed shook the dusty fox fur again, and looked curiously at the already yellowed envelope held by Xiao Siyi.

The envelope was opened, and besides a piece of yellowed letter paper inside, there was also a ring engraved with osmanthus flowers.

Xiao Siyi put away the ring and opened the envelope to read, Zuo Weiyue also moved the fox's head over to read the contents.

There were not many words written on 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 family situation did not allow her to do so. He separated, and told him not to act too radically, so as not to get himself into trouble.

It's just that this letter looks like it's not finished. After reaching the end, the pen and ink are broken, and there is no signature.

Some words could be vaguely seen smudged by dry tears, and the envelope was not sealed with wax. At first glance, it was clear that it was a letter that had not been sent.

"This light boat, could it be Prince Gong? Si Yi, do you know what Prince Gong's nickname is? Is it called this?"

Xiao Siyi shook his head: "The members of the royal family of Xiding generally use one of the four characters 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom', and the name 'Qingzhou' does not fit this. Perhaps, this Qingzhou is someone else's name. .”

Except for this envelope, Zuo Weiyue and Xiao Siyi turned Xiaozhu upside down, and got nothing else.

When one person and one fox sat down to rest, Ah Zheng entered the house with his whole body covered in snow and a cloth bag of red prayer kits.

"Young master, I brought the things here, do you want to take them apart and look at them one by one?"

Hey, Si Yi's aunt is also poor.
