Back at the hotel, Chu Yao immediately got out of the carriage in a panic and ran all the way back to the backyard. Leaning against the door, her heart was beating irregularly.
Some things have been slowly changing, and she can no longer convince herself.
Xiao Jing pursed his lips slightly, watching her run away from him without stopping her.
The young man in the dark blue dress saw a smile flashing on his master's frozen face for thousands of years, secretly surprised, and was a little stunned for a while.
"Meng Li." Xiao Jing waited for the doctor to reapply the medicine to bandage the wound, and called him into the room.
"My subordinate is late in saving me, please punish me." Meng Li knelt on the ground and pulled out a dagger from his boot. The training of the hidden guards of Prince Ning's Mansion has always been rigorous, if the master is injured one point, it will definitely appear ten points on them. Meng Li is the leader of this group of hidden guards, so it is natural to bear the blame.
Xiao Jing took the dagger from his hand, bowed his head to Meng Li who was kneeling on the ground and said: "No, you came at the right time, these killers are well-trained and not weak, it seems that they came prepared, What's going on in the imperial capital?"
"The emperor has secretly replaced many military officials in the court." Meng Li frowned and hesitated: "And the emperor seems to intend to win over Jiang Qianyang. He was originally guarding Tongzhou, but he was recalled to the imperial capital a few days ago."
"Well, Jiang Qianyang Feige sent a letter to mention this." Xiao Jing rubbed the sapphire inlaid on the handle of the knife, his eyes darkened.
Xiao Shen couldn't tolerate him anymore, he had only left Yan Kingdom for so many days, and he had already started to replace generals, trying to weaken his influence in the army, and even wanted to win over Jiang Qianyang.
Jiang Qianyang is very smart, knowing that he will know what's going on on his side, so he flies the pigeon to pass the letter in advance to show his loyalty.
"Go and check on the assassin tonight." Xiao Jing threw the dagger back to Meng Li, and said, "Pay attention to the movement of Prince An Ran."
"Yes, this subordinate understands."
Just as Meng Li was about to stand up and leave, he heard Xiao Jing say: "Strengthen the guards in the backyard, someone broke in last night."
"Yes." Meng Li withdrew.
The next day, early morning.
When Chu Yaofang got up together, Liu Shu hurried in.
"Miss, I heard that last night, the residence where the second son of Duan He lived caught fire."
"Fire?" Chuyao frowned. Xiao Jing was assassinated last night, and the hotel where Duan Heye lived caught fire again. How could this be? Is anyone already on the move?
"There is no injury to the personnel, but the fire started for some inexplicable reason. It started suddenly in the middle of the night." When Chuyao came back last night, Liu Shu had already fallen asleep, so she didn't know about Chuyao's assassination last night.
Chuyao thought to himself, what is the connection between Duan Heye's fire and their assassination? They were assassinated before the hotel caught fire. Could it be that someone wanted to frame Xiao Jing?
After Chuyao finished washing and washing, she walked to the front hall. At this time, Meng Li happened to be reporting something to Xiao Jing.
"Okay, I see, let's go down." Seeing Chuyao coming, Xiao Jing signaled Meng Li to retreat.
"You want to ask about the fire in the Duanheye Manor?" Picking up the white porcelain cup, he took a sip of the tea.
Chuyao nodded, and asked, "Someone wants to set the blame?"
Xiao Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his black pupils were full of determination: "No, someone wanted to divert their attention. We were assassinated last night, and Duan Heye had an accident immediately. Didn't he want to tell us that he is also a victim, let us Shift the target, don't suspect him."
"You mean that Duan Heye set the fire in the hotel by himself? The killer who assassinated last night was also Duan Heye's man?" Chu Yao deduced along his words, and it suddenly became clear.
Duan Heye first sent someone to assassinate him, and then set fire to himself, pretending to be victimized. If the envoys of Yanmeng and Mongolia had accidents at the same time, the most suspicious person would be the prince of Li who came to propose marriage. Moreover, Crown Prince An Ran did not attend Duan Xiang's family dinner last night, so the suspicion increased.
"Duan Heye can't be so smart, it's probably Lu Qiuen's plan." Xiao Jing turned his head and said, "You said that Lu Qiuen gave someone something beside the rockery. It is estimated that Duan Xiang's mansion will also take it soon." something happened."
"An accident happened to Duan Xiangfu, who is he going to blame?" Chu Yao frowned, one after another, Li Guo shouldn't be worthy of their trouble, could it be
"That's right, I can't escape being involved in the matter of Duan Xiangfu." Xiao Jing lowered his eyes, and the white jade wrench that he had been wearing on his thumb had disappeared.
"Your wrench"
"I lost it when I was assassinated last night. I'm afraid it will be used by someone with a heart to make a fuss." Xiao Jing raised his head and smiled at Chuyao: "Are you afraid? If you want to get involved here, you can't get away."
Chu Yao shook his head and said, "You said you would protect mecomplete. "He said this sentence twice, this time she chose to believe it.
Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly: "It seems that my injury last night was worth it."
Chuyao was noncommittal, she was indeed shaken, and decided to believe in Xiao Jing. No one can say what will happen in the future. She takes every step well now, and grasps what she wants to grasp, so as not to regret it in the future.
Xiao Jing raised his right arm, held her hand, stared at her with obsidian eyes, and said seriously: "Because I sacrificed my life to save you, so you decided to agree with me?"
"It's not that simple to want me to promise you with your body." Chuyao snorted softly and pulled his hand away. The voice is a bit childish, and this may be the first time she has used this voice to a man in eighteen years. After speaking, his ears turned red.
Xiao Jing smiled, wrapped her big palm around Chuyao's hand, and stroked it lightly.
Chu Yao suddenly frowned, with a painful expression, and slowly squatted down. Shouldn't the three people's soul-breaking water have another attack at night, why is it suddenly attacking now? Chuyao clenched Xiao Jing's hand tightly, as if wanting to gain strength from him.
"ChuyaoChuyao"
Beads of sweat slipped from her forehead, Chuyao gradually lost consciousness, and slowly closed her eyes. Before she closed her eyes, she was already nestled in Xiao Jing's arms with peace of mind. Maybe, just maybe this person can be relied on.
Chuyao was poisoned by the soul-breaking water of the three people, usually in the middle of the night, so she didn't tell Liu Shu about her poisoning. When Liu Shu suddenly saw the pale young lady brought in by King Ning, she was frightened. host.
"Quickly go and call the doctor." Xiao Jing placed Chuyao on the bed and ordered Liu Shu.
Chu Yao half-closed her eyes, her lips and face became paler, and her head was covered with sweat, which showed how severe the pain was. Her hand was still tightly grasping Xiao Jing's, subconsciously, all the time.
The doctor hurried in with Liu Shu, Xiao actually wanted to get out of the way to make it easier for the doctor to diagnose the pulse, but Chu Yao tightened his grip even more, Liu Shu found it inconceivable. My young lady has always been strong, does this action mean to show weakness to Xiao Jing? Could it be that she really fell in love with King Ning?
The doctor clasped Chuyao's wrist, frowning deeply.
"The poison on her body has been well controlled with silver needles, why did it suddenly flare up?" Xiao Jing asked anxiously with a cold face.
"My lord, the poison on her body has reached a point of difference, and the pain will become more severe. The silver needle may be difficult to control. If you add medicine stones, it can be slowed down for the time being, but the medicine is three-point poisonous, and it will go to the next stage." , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not as simple as the pain.¡± The doctor frowned and said: ¡°My lord, I need to find the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to bear it after a while.¡±
Liu Shu was startled when she heard this, how could the young lady have such a serious poison?
"I see, first stop the pain for her, and let her fall asleep for a while." Xiao Jing frowned, stood up, put Chuyao's hand on her side, and covered her with the quilt.
Chuyao still wanted to grab his hand, but Xiao Jing lowered his head and whispered something intimate in her ear, and she obediently put her hand down.
Seeing this situation, Liu Shu grasped it with her hands, it is hard for the young lady to go back.
The doctor gave Chuyao the needle, and her complexion gradually eased, her lips were not as pale as before, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.
"Take good care of your young lady." Xiao Jing finished speaking and walked out of the room. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
