Chapter 205 Discovering clues
Song Qingwan quietly returned to Prince Huai's mansion under the cover of night to look for clues.
At this time, Prince Huai's Palace was no longer as lively as before. The entire huge building was empty, with no one in it.
Song Wan couldn't help but feel mixed emotions when she saw the dilapidated Prince Huai's Mansion in front of her.
Recalling the day when she married into Prince Huai's Mansion, the mansion was decorated festively by Concubine Shun and Zhao Huaijin themselves.
But now, just five years have passed, and Prince Huai's Palace has become so dilapidated.
Song Qingwan reached out her hand and stroked the blood-stained wall, and secretly made up her mind that she must restore the Prince Huai's Mansion to its former prosperity.
Song Qingwan entered every room in the palace with ease, but after a careful inspection, she still found nothing.
"Did I guess wrong?"
Just as Song Qingwan was wondering if there were any other possibilities, she suddenly stepped on something and it tickled her.
The soles of shoes in ancient times were very thin and light, so Song Qingwan intuitively felt that such a hard object should not appear in the bedroom.
So she lowered her head, leaned over and picked up the hard object.
Song Qingwan took advantage of the moonlight outside to see clearly what was in front of her.
This is a jade pendant of ordinary quality. There is nothing special about the jade pendant itself. It is just a crescent shape that is very common in the market.
However, the pendant on the jade pendant caught Song Qingwan's attention because there was a small tooth-shaped pendant on it.
Song Qingwan took out a tinder, lit it, and took a look. She found that the material looked very much like wolf's teeth.
Wolf fangs? How could such a thing appear in the capital of the Great Saint Dynasty?
With the craftsmanship and ability of ancient people in making jewelry, Song Qingwan believed that this wolf tooth was definitely real.
If it is real, then this wolf tooth must be worth a lot of money.
Generally, if officials in the capital of the Great Sage got a wolf's tooth, they would keep it at home and would not carry it around with them casually.
On the one hand, it is because the wolf fang is indeed precious, and on the other hand, the Great Sage Dynasty does not have the habit of hanging wolf fangs on jade pendants.
Then there is only one possibility, the person wearing this ornament may be a foreigner.
Thinking of foreigners, a word emerged in Song Qingwan's mind: Dong Yue.
Yes, the Dongyue Kingdom was a nomadic people, and they were good at riding and shooting.
Moreover, a large part of Dongyue Kingdom's territory is grassland, and most of its people make a living by grazing, so it doesn't seem surprising to get a wolf's fang.
Song Qingwan deduced that the person who came to the Prince of Huai's Mansion to carry out the brutal massacre might be someone from Dongyue State, or someone who had dealings with and colluded with Dongyue State. So who could this person be?
Just as Song Qingwan was lost in thought, she suddenly heard some noise outside. Song Qingwan was startled and quickly slipped into the space.
Song Qingwan lay on the wall of the space and listened to the sounds outside. As the footsteps got closer, Song Qingwan judged that there were probably two or three people coming.
There weren't many of them, and their steps seemed a little messy, so they probably didn't come prepared.
Thinking of this, Song Qingwan felt relieved. She planned to observe for a while before deciding whether to go out.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice started crying, and the voice seemed a little hoarse.
"Miss, where is Miss? Is it because we are too late? Miss has been killed?"
"Nonsense, the master is so powerful, how could he be killed by these people? The master must be hiding."
"Then where did she hide? We have searched everywhere, and the young lady is pregnant. Where can she escape to?"
Song Qingwan was very familiar with these two voices, they were Chunya and Arong!
Chunya stopped crying after hearing Arong's words. She stood up from the ground and wiped her tears.
"I'll go look somewhere else, you guys go over there, we'll split up and look."
A Rong pulled Yan Hui, who had been standing silently beside him, and pleaded with some fear.
"How about we go together? I'm a little scared."
Yan Hui shook his head helplessly and looked at his good friend with a bit of contempt.
"You are so useless. You are not even as good as a girl as a man!"
A Rong lowered his head in shame, but still followed Yan Hui obediently.
Yan Hui shook his head and took him in the opposite direction of Chunya.
Seeing that there was indeed no one else around, Song Qingwan walked out of the space with confidence and patted Chunya's shoulder gently.
"who!"
Chunya was startled. She raised her hands in an attacking gesture, then turned around slowly with her eyes wide open, and saw Song Qingwan looking at her with a smile from behind.
Chunya initially thought she was dazzled, but after rubbing her eyes hard, she found that it was indeed her master.
The little girl couldn't help it and threw herself into Song Qingwan's arms and burst into tears.
"Master, I finally found you! Where have you been these days? I was so worried!"
"Don't cry, dear. I'm back now. Go find Yan Hui and A Rong. Let's go to the front hall to discuss some things."
"But Master, you are here alone..."
"It's okay. I'll be waiting for you in the front hall. Go quickly. We have to leave here before dawn."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Chunya knew that her master said this because it must be something important, so she quickly ran in the direction where Arong and Yan Hui were going.
Song Qingwan secretly put the jade pendant into her sleeve pocket and threw it into the space, intending to go back and study it carefully.
She searched the place for a while and found no other clues. She thought this person was extremely cautious.
Song Qingwan had just arrived at the flower hall when A Rong came running in noisily, followed by the calm Yan Hui and the breathless Chun Ya.
"Master, Master, I finally see you! Ah Rong thought... Ah Rong thought..."
"Thought what? Thought I was killed?"
"No, no, A Rong knows that you are blessed with a good fortune, and you will definitely return safely!"
Song Qingwan knew that Arong was a kind-hearted boy who just spoke too much, so she naturally wouldn't bother with him.
"Time is urgent, so I'll make it short. You are at the Yan family now, right?"
Chunya was the first to step forward and answer yes, and Song Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that as long as Yan Hui was there, Arong and Chunya would be fine. Yan Hui had grown up rapidly in the past two years.
Although he is not as skilled in martial arts as his brother, he is meticulous and quite talented.
With him around, Song Qingwan doesn't have to worry about the safety of Arong and Chunya. Yan Hui is capable of protecting them both.
"You should go back to the Yan family and don't come out for a while. You can't stay in Prince Huai's mansion anymore."
Chunya almost cried when she heard Song Qingwan's words. She also understood that the current situation was serious.
Thinking that the happy days in Prince Huai's Mansion would never come back, Chunya sobbed softly.
"Miss, where are you going? Aren't you coming with us?"
"Silly girl, if I go with you, the Yan family will become the target of public criticism. Those people are coming for me, and I can't let the Yan family get in trouble."
