Chapter 14: Lovers (11)

On that day, Yuan Zhize went to the barracks to deal with military affairs, and I was left alone in the house, just as I was bored, a brisk footstep suddenly sounded outside the door. "Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm here~" When I looked up, I saw Wanyun, who hadn't been seen for many days, jumping in from outside, holding a handful of flowers in her hand.

"Wanyun, I miss you so much~" I haven't seen you for a long time, and when I meet at first glance, I naturally can't help but be affectionate. Wanyun brought the flower to me and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, this is for you, I wish you a speedy recovery." I hurriedly took it, well, the fragrance of the flowers made it very pleasant.

"Is the investigation done?" Seeing Wanyun's tired face, she must have been busy in the past few days. "Well, I've already checked it, I'm exhausted. Wanyun poured a cup of tea and drank it all. "How's it going, is the investigation clear?" I asked, impatiently. Wanyun shook her head with a serious face: "Alas, I don't have a clue at all. "By the way, what was the situation at that time?" I heard Yuan Zhize say that Wanyun witnessed the whole process of the incident, so I couldn't help but be curious.

"When we passed by that intersection, I accidentally saw a woman in the crowd with a very suspicious look..."Wanyun held the teacup in both hands, as if recalling the scene at that time. "Why is it suspicious?" There were so many people at that time, but the suspicious look probably didn't mean anything, could it be that Wanyun was too careful.

"Do you think, Sister Xiaoxiao, when our carriage and horse passed by, everyone knelt on the ground, even if they secretly raised their heads to look, it was just out of fresh curiosity, but that woman's eyes were very different, like..." "That's right, it's like a knife, it's chilling. Looking at Wanyun's serious appearance, I unconsciously shivered, and I was faintly afraid.

"Then I passed by the woman for a short time, and there was a shout behind me, which I felt must have come from her place. After speaking, Wanyun nodded subconsciously, as if she was more sure of her judgment.

"Are you alright?" I asked with concern as I pulled Wanyun to my side. Wanyun still had a nonchalant look: "I'm fine, but it's really thanks to Chitu." "Chitu, that horse saved you?" "Yes, at that time, a few crazy horses suddenly rushed out behind him, and many of the horses in the honor guard were frightened, and besides, everyone was in a mess, and many sergeants fell off their horses and were injured. At that time, I was scared silly, but fortunately, Chitu was very calm all the time, and I was fine. "I couldn't imagine that the horse could keep his composure in such a chaotic situation, and I was secretly amazed.

"How have you been investigating these days?" "Hey, don't mention it. As soon as she said this, Wanyun immediately changed her face, as if she had been greatly wronged. "Those generals are really a bunch of rice buckets, and they have been rewarded for three days and have not found any clues. "Isn't that a good clue for you?" It stands to reason that finding that woman should be of some help to solve the case, as long as Wanyun describes her physical characteristics and draws a portrait, there should be no problem when the time comes.

Before I could say anything, Wanyun vetoed my idea. "I was so concerned about her eyes that I didn't pay much attention to her appearance, and I couldn't remember what she looked like, but if she was standing in front of me, I would have been able to recognize her. "If even this clue is broken, it seems very difficult to investigate, and I can't help but shake my head.

According to Wanyun, she has been patrolling around the city with the officials all day long in the past few days, and Wanyun has to go over to identify a suspicious woman caught by the officials, but she still found nothing after running around for several days, but Wanyun was miserable. "Since they are here, they must have already planned their way out, and besides, the city gate has not been blocked, so maybe they will be allowed to slip out at some point, and the fool is waiting here for people to catch them." Wanyun pursed her lips, seemingly dissatisfied with the official in charge of investigating the matter.

"What are the plans of the government?" Wanyun sighed and said, "I have no choice but to stop, my brother hasn't shown up for the past few days, and everyone doesn't know what he thinks." Hey-Sister Xiaoxiao, what has my brother been busy with these days?" Seeing Wanyun's curious look, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and stammered, "Lord Wang... The prince has been becoming... In taking care of me..."

The smile on Wanyun's face seemed to freeze, and the look in my eyes was very complicated. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, not knowing how she would react next. After a while, Wanyun, who had already understood, actually smiled, but now she made me feel very strange, and her familiar voice sounded in my ears again: "Sister Xiaoxiao, the poison on your body has been cured, right?" I nodded hurriedly yes. "Then when are you going to go back, Sister Xiaoxiao has been out for so many days, I guess my uncle and aunt must have missed you..."

Wanyun's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which made me completely confused. Speaking of which, even a fool can guess what Wanyun means, I raised my head but quickly lowered my head, avoiding Wanyun's sharp gaze, her eyes contained determination, and I couldn't shirk it. "As soon as possible, when I can walk on the ground, I should also take my leave, after all, I have bothered you for so long..."

"It's okay like this, it's okay like this..."Wanyun muttered, as if she was relieved and slowly returned to normalcy. After a long time, it was Wanyun who broke the awkward silence between us. "Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm here to bring you something delicious today. "Oh?" I said absent-mindedly, not yet able to move on from the scene. "The chestnuts I bought when I came have been sent to the kitchen, and the cooks can make sugar-fried chestnuts for my sister to try. I stared blankly at the smiling face in front of me, not knowing what to say. "It should be okay now, right? Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll take a look and I'll send it to you later. ”

Wanyun smiled and patted me on the shoulder as if nothing had happened, and then got up and went out, leaving me sitting there**, my mind was full of Wanyun and Yuan Zhize, Wanyun is my good friend That's right, it was my idea to encourage her to confess to Yuan Zhize at the beginning, but... Why does the thought of leaving Yuan Zhize make my heart ache faintly? Thinking about it, I don't know what to do, I sighed, life is really tangled.
