Chapter 20: The Assassins
That's enough.
Murong Qingxue now set up Xinyun before coming back to take care of Ling Pingyang, who was pale.
"You woman, that girl only fainted temporarily, and I am the one who was seriously injured, can't you tell which is more serious?" Ling Pingyang said angrily.
Murong Qingxue didn't look at him directly, but just said, "Of course this girl can tell the difference." Do you want to heal or not? If you don't, just go, take care of yourself. ”
If his eyes could kill, Ling Pingyang did it, but with his current physical condition, it was not suitable for a protracted battle with Murong Qingxue, he covered his arm, red blood oozed from his sleeves, it was completely wet, and the beads of sweat on his head fell one by one.
Murong Qingxue didn't have to be angry with him, so she stopped being angry with him. It's just that there is a difference between men and women, and if you hold his hand directly, it will be inappropriate after all. He grabbed Ling Pingyang's arm and placed him in a side room.
"Okay, you can rest yourself, I'll go first. Murong Qingxue didn't look back.
"Hey, why don't you ask me how I was injured, how did I get hurt?" Ling Pingyang's voice came from behind, with a hint of complaint.
Murong Qingxue turned her head and smiled at him, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ling Pingyang felt speechless, he only heard that this Murong Qingxue Bingxue was smart, but he didn't expect that he was also as cold as ice. Unconvinced, he threw out a sentence: "If he is injured, doesn't it have anything to do with you?"
Murong Qingxue's heart was shocked, she paused, and left.
In the room, the corners of Ling Ping's mouth were raised, he couldn't imagine that he was such a good son, but it was rare for a beautiful woman to take care of him. Dongfang, the person you fancy is really unusual.
Murong Qingxue arrived in Xinyun's room and shook her awake, Xinyun looked confused: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Have you forgotten that when we got to the door just now, you were attacked by a man. ”
Xinyun remembered, touched the back of her head, and said to herself: "No wonder I have a headache." ”
Now that it's okay, Murong Qingxue is also relieved. As the sky got dark, she told Xinyun to get some food for Ling Pingyang in the wing, so as not to affect their plans for the evening.
When night fell, Murong Qingxue changed into black clothes, covered her face, and sneaked into the Barley Pavilion. Through the window, you can see that Murong Qingyi in the room is sitting at the table thinking about her thoughts, and Xinyan is making her bed.
"Miss, the bed is made, and you can go to bed. Xinyan said respectfully, Murong Qingyi simply said "um", but still maintained the posture just now.
"Miss, how to deal with this?" Murong Qingyi followed Qingyan's gaze and saw a brocade box in her hand, the expression on her face immediately became nervous, and she said angrily: "Who let you touch this box? You are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to take my things without my permission." The next slap was thrown on Xinyan's face.
Xinyan hurriedly knelt down and said cautiously: "Miss, it's the slave's fault, Miss forgive me." Slave maid, slave maid only saw it when she was making the bed, and she was afraid of cushioning the young lady, so she took it out and asked the young lady to deal with it. ”
There was a wave of anger in Murong Qingyi's eyebrows, and he took the brocade box: "You go out, don't come in without my orders." Xinyan hurriedly went out and carefully closed the door.
Murong Qingxue's eyes stared at the brocade box, and she didn't understand why Murong Qingyi was so angry. Is it possible?
Murong Qingyi slowly opened the box and took out the contents of the box. Fluorescent and unstained with dust, it is the pearl of the South China Sea. Murong Qingxue's heart was about to jump out, and he secretly said in his heart, it was really you!
Xinyun pulled Murong Qingxue, she reacted, and gestured to Xinyun. Xinyun comprehended, took out the tube of drug given by the old money, gently pierced the window paper, and blew a little in.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Murong Qingyi to fall to the table, and Mingzhu fell on the table.
Confirming that the person inside had fainted, Murong Qingxue gently pushed open the door with Xinyun and got the pearl. Mingzhu was lost and recovered, Murong Qingxue carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and glanced at Murong Qingyi, who had fainted, with resentment in his eyes.
"Miss, shall we leave now?" asked Xinyun.
"Since you're here, why don't you let her learn a lesson. "Thinking back to what Murong Qingyi did in his previous life, Murong Qingxue couldn't forgive. His eyes fell on the sachet on Murong Qingyi's waist, and after a little thought, he untied it. Xinyun wondered: "Miss, what's the use of you holding the eldest lady's sachet?"
Murong Qingxue smiled slyly: "It will be useful in the future." It's done, and we can go. ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, obviously not alone. Murong Qingxue and Xinyun hurriedly hid and listened attentively to what was going on.
"Lord Nan, this is the boudoir of the little girl Qingyi, and there will be no assassin as the prince said. This was Murong Bai's voice.
"General, if there is or not, this king will know by looking at it himself. Dongfang Haonan's cold voice came.
"Okay, then please wait for a while, and wait for the minister to inform the little girl. ”
When Murong Qingxue heard this, she had a plan, let Xinyun hide first, cut her arm, tore off a piece of the cloth on her black clothes, covered it with blood, and put it next to Murong Qingyi's bed. Then put the antidote on the tip of Murong Qingyi's nose, and seeing that she had signs of awakening, she quickly hid.
"Yi'er, are you there, Yi'er?" Murong Bai's voice came.
Murong Qingyi got up and opened the door in a trance, and saluted respectfully: "It's so late, my father came to look for my daughter, I don't know what's going on?" Murong Qingyi only felt top-heavy, and his mind was in chaos.
"Yi'er, Lord Nan said that the assassin they were chasing entered the General's Mansion, and now they are searching courtyard by courtyard. What assassins do you see?"
When Murong Qingyi heard the three words of Nan Wangye, he noticed Dongfang Haonan standing behind Murong Bai, and hurriedly saluted: "Back to Nan Wangye, Qingyi didn't see the assassin, and the assassin didn't come over." ”
Dongfang Haonan didn't look at her, but just glanced at Jian Yu lightly. Jian Yu took the order, stood at the door and looked around the house, his eyes resting on the black cloth beside the bed.
"Lord Wang, there is a bloody cloth next to the eldest lady's bed. If I remember correctly, the Assassin was also dressed in black. ”
Murong Bai was shocked, and then looked at Murong Qingyi, who looked confused, and was apprehensive in his heart.
Dongfang Haonan ordered: "Take that piece of black cloth." ”
Jian Yu walked in and took it out, Dongfang Haonan looked at this black cloth, the blood stains on it were still fresh, it should be his.
Then he asked Murong Bai with a cold face: "General, how do you explain this?" Come to think of it, the eldest lady is not injured, then there is only one possibility, that assassin is in her room or has been here. Harbouring assassins, does the general know the consequences?"
Murong Qingyi was also frightened, this qiē happened too suddenly, she didn't know why there was a black cloth in the room, it was still bloody, and the pear blossoms that were crying at the moment brought rain, but Dongfang Haonan's face did not have a little pity and pity.
"Lord Nan, this, this must be a mistake. Wechen is loyal to the country and will never harbor assassins. What is going on, you say?"
Murong Qingyi cried, she didn't know how to explain it, because she didn't know it herself.
"It's so lively, the second brother arrived at the General's Mansion so late, I don't know what is going on?" A clear voice came, and Murong Qingxue was shocked in his heart, it was not Yun Rui but who was it.
How did he get here, Murong Qingyi wondered in his heart. On second thought, he should have come. If Ling Pingyang was his friend, then he must know about him.
"The minister sees Lord Rui. Murong Bai hurriedly saluted, and Murong Qingyi also knelt down, but he still couldn't stop crying.
"The third brother has also arrived. I can't imagine that a small assassin can alarm you. Dongfang Haonan's face has always been as cold as ice, but Dongfang Yunrui doesn't care, all he cares about is the assassin.
"This king passed by unintentionally, but he heard the movement inside, and there were so many guards dispatched, it was impossible not to be alarmed. How about the second brother, have you caught the assassin?"
It can be seen from Dongfang Haonan's facial expression that the assassin was not caught. Dongfang Yunrui asked more, but he just had the mentality of watching jokes. If Ling Pingyang was caught so easily, how could he become the son of the God of Medicine?
Dongfang Haonan snorted coldly.
"Yo, there's a clue. General Murong, this is not yours, you have found a clue about the assassin in your mansion, you can't get out of it. Dongfang Yunrui looked at Murong Bai and couldn't help but joke.
Murong Bai has long been earthless, and he wants to clear up the relationship, but he feels that the more he leaves, the more suspicious he becomes.
Dongfang Yunrui walked in front of the kneeling Murong Bai and Murong Qingyi and entered the room. Looking around, I suddenly felt a little light next to the cabinet, and a smile curled up at the corner of my mouth. He didn't expose it, but walked out quickly, glanced at Ling Ran, whispered a word, and Ling Ran retreated.
"This king saw that there was no difference in the eldest lady's room, but this black cloth was really puzzling and unprovoked suspicion. Second brother, what do you think?"
Dongfang Haonan only wanted to catch the so-called assassin in his heart, but Murong Bai's father and daughter denied it, which made him very angry.
"Come on, take the two of them away!" When Murong Qingyi heard this, tears immediately rained down, and he said again and again: "Lord Nan, please be clear, this is really none of my business, Lord Wangcha." ”
Although she cried so desolately, there was no expression on Dongfang Haonan's face, Murong Qingyi turned to look at Dongfang Yunrui, the man she was thinking about, his face was generally cold, as if he had nothing to do with him, which made Murong Qingyi's face even more miserable.
Murong Bai had the courage to say: "Lord Wang, just a piece of black cloth with blood on it has concluded that this matter has something to do with the General's Mansion, and Weichen is not convinced. If Weichen said that the assassin knocked out Qing Yi and blamed her, it is also possible, so please also ask the prince to investigate. ”
Murong Qingyi also echoed and said, "Yes, Lord Wang, Lord Wang, please be clear." ”
Murong Qingyi suddenly thought of something, and suddenly glanced at the brocade box on the table, where is there still the shadow of the Pearl of the South China Sea? ”
Dongfang Haonan looked at her suspiciously, and when he saw that she was swearing, he asked, "Why didn't the eldest lady say it just now? What did you lose?"
Of course, Murong Qingyi can't say that she lost the pearl of the South China Sea, as long as she dares to say it, she will definitely be broken into pieces by Dongfang Yunrui. Then he said hesitantly: "It's a little bit of my daughter's family, because it's not valuable, so I didn't say it." ”
Dongfang Yunrui didn't want Dongfang Haonan to enter the room to check, so he smiled and said: "My daughter's gadgets were also stolen, it seems that the relationship between that assassin and the eldest lady is not ordinary?"
Murong Qingyi's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to answer.
That is, if I like you, whatever you say, if I don't like you, what do you say?
