Chapter 289: Witnessing
"That Miss Lin has found her comrades from the maidservant? Or is it the people behind the scenes that brought her here? β
Liu Man raised his eyebrows and asked.
Perhaps his original intentions were not very malicious, but his eyes and tone gave people the illusion of provocation.
Sure enough, as soon as Vika heard this, he instantly exploded, "Are you suspicious of me?!" β
"Miss Lin is not afraid of shadows, are you still afraid of other people's suspicions?"
Liu Man did not give up.
The topic of the conversation between the two is also getting farther and farther away.
Vika frowned casually.
This Liu Man was not in her plan, but now it seems that since he is so fond of fighting, then what she says should be fulfilled.
"Of course I'm not afraid of other people's suspicions, if there is no real evidence, I can't do anything with a little girl?!"
Estimating that Nangong Yi should come back, this last sentence, Vika deliberately raised his voice, and sure enough, Nangong Yi, who had just come back from nowhere, heard the voice and walked quickly towards the side hall.
"Jue, why are you bleeding?"
The first time Nangong Yi saw Vika, he asked this.
This made Liu Man a little incredulous.
Is their boss stupid enough to be this far? At a glance, you knew that the blood was not "Miss Lin", it was just someone else's blood stained on her body, but their boss was full of nervousness because of this little thing, which tendon was wrong?
Could it be that both of these people have bowed their heads to others?
"Boss, it's not Miss Lin's blood at all, it's a servant girl who was beaten to death by her just now."
Liu Man said first.
There is no embellishment in the words, and the opinions are obvious.
"Nangong, I'...... You listen to my explanation, it was the servant girl who drugged my food first, and I just wanted to punish her, but I didn't think that she was talking as if she had eaten something beforehand, and the next moment she was still talking, and the next moment she rolled her eyes...... I didn't beat her to death......"
Vika explained pitifully.
She felt that this was very good, but she forgot that in front of Nangong Yi, the real Lin Jue would never pretend to be weak, even if it was an explanation, it was a matter of course, and it was justified.
Nangong Yi glanced at her, but then his eyes fell on Liu Man next to him, and he asked, "You haven't gone to the barracks today?" β
According to the regulations, Liu Man, as a deputy general, needs to go to the barracks every day. But the rule is dead, people are alive, so in the end, as long as there is nothing to do, even if you don't go for a day or two, it won't have any effect. In the past, Nangong Yi never cared whether Liu Man went to the barracks or not, but today he asked like this for the first time, which made Liu Man a little confused.
Just when he didn't know how to answer, he heard Nangong Yi continue to say, "Hurry up." β
"Huh?"
Liu Man didn't seem to hear clearly.
"I'll go right now."
Nangong Yi repeated.
This time, Liu Man finally heard it clearly, but his mood was a little depressed, it seems that not only Miss Lin, but also his boss has also been lowered by others.
"Pass the word, thoroughly investigate all the maids in the house, especially those who are unknown, and report the results to me within today."
After Liu Man left, Nangong Yi began to order.
Seeing this, Vika felt a little strange in her heart, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently rose slightly, even if she didn't like Nangong Yi, but she really had no way to refuse this feeling of being spoiled, no matter what she did, it was right, and the other party believed in her without any reason and principle. A pair of different-colored eyes suddenly appeared in front of Vika's eyes, if he was replaced by a contract husband, would he choose to believe her like Nangong Yi without any reason?
As for the answer, Vika did not dare to think about it.
"Look at you, you're covered in blood, hurry up and let someone help you change your body."
It was only at this time that Nangong Yi set his eyes on Vika's body. Overflowing with tenderness, shining brightly, Vika quickly pretended to look away inadvertently, she was afraid that she would not be able to walk out if she looked at it for too long.
It was precisely because Nangong Yi believed in Vika indiscriminately every time that within a few days, rumors began to fly throughout Kyoto, saying that Nangong Yi was obsessed with women and favored Lin Jue.
The remarks that the second lady of the Lin Taibu family was a demon girl began to make noise again after being silent for many years.
When the news spread, Lin Jue was sitting by the lake, staring down at the two carps in the lake in a daze.
After that day, she thought about it and finally decided not to leave Kyoto for the time being, and before that, she decided to trust the contractor and stay in the other courtyard first.
In fact, now she has no choice but to stay in the contractor's courtyard. Even if she returns to the Lin family, Lin Qiong will not accept her, because in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Jue has long lived in the General's Mansion as his fiancΓ©e, since the real Lin Jue is living a loving life with Nangong Yi in the General's Mansion, where will another one come out to return to the Lin family?
Therefore, she went back to the Lin Mansion that day, but before she could speak, she was driven out by Lin Qiong, "Demon girl, I don't know what the hell you are doing, but the Lin family will become what it is now, all thanks to you, are you happy now?" Satisfied? β
Lin Qiong looked at her and said viciously.
Apparently, he recognized her as Vika.
"Look? Now even if you stand on the street in Kyoto and shout to cut your throat, no one will believe that you are Lin Jue. β
The contractor stood under the tree with his hands in his hands, looking at her, not knowing whether to comfort or gloat.
In early winter, a gust of wind blew, and the dead leaves of the branches scattered, and occasionally a few fell on the shoulders of his bamboo cloth robe.
"Are you happy now?"
Lin Jue didn't even bother to raise his head.
"What am I happy about?"
The contractor was a little helpless.
"I'm not you, how do I know what you're happy about. If the treacherous plan succeeds, shouldn't everyone be happy? β
At the moment of speaking, Lin Jue suddenly thought of the rumors in Kyoto in the past two days, Nangong Yi was obsessed with women and favored Miss Lin Er?
She couldn't help but laugh.
I thought that Nangong Yi was different. But now it seems that he is not much different from others, and the so-called care about her is just her skin. Two people who are completely different like this, he can't even recognize them?
Vika pretended to be her and was favored by Nangong Yi, such news, should she be happy that Nangong Yi still has a deep love for her? Or should I be sad that Nangong Yi is blind?
Lin Jue prides herself on being open-minded, but she can't reach this point, so now, her heart is full of only sadness.
"I'm not involved in Vika's plans."
After a long time, just when Lin Jue thought that the contracted husband had already left, he spoke.
A dead leaf fell on his shoulder, looking particularly lonely.
He was not involved, nor did he know what Vika's specific plans were. The reason why he is here is just to save Lin Jue.
But this kind of thought, the contract husband will never say it, because even if he says it, Lin Jue doesn't seem to believe it.
Hearing him say this, Lin Jue laughed uncontrollably.
When she finally stopped laughing, she glanced up at the contractor and said, "You're not involved?" So what do you mean you're imprisoning me here? Is it to tease me? β
He and Vika obviously have a very clear division of labor, and they also said that they did not participate in her plan, thinking that she Lin Jue was a three-year-old child? It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open.
"I'm here for your safety."
"Then I thank you."
Lin Jue replied angrily.
In fact, in her heart, she has gradually changed her opinion of the contractor, although it has not changed to the point where she thinks he is a good person, but at least she thinks that the contractor is not dangerous to her. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be staying here so peacefully.
It's just that there is one thing that Lin Jue doesn't understand.
Vika's purpose is obvious, she probably wants to harm Nangong Yi. What about the contractor? What is his purpose?
Seeing that Lin Jue's attitude towards him was as bad as ever, the contractor felt very helpless.
He always thought that there was nothing in this world that could not be solved with a sword, and if one knife could not be solved, then two knives should be used.
But after meeting Lin Jue, and now being attracted to her, he really knows that there are too many things in this world that can't be solved with a sword. For example, the person in front of her, even if she moves out of an armory, it will not change the fact that she has no good impression of him.
"Actually, you know what Vika is trying to do, right?"
Lin Jue changed the subject.
"She didn't tell me the plan."
The contractor looked down at the tip of his shoe, although the two of them were brother and sister, they had always acted separately, and it was normal that they did not know their respective plans.
Lin Jue didn't ask any more, Vika was his own sister, whether he really didn't know about Vika's plan or if he didn't know, it was impossible for the contractor to tell her about this kind of confidential matter to an outsider, and he was also an outsider who was inextricably linked to Nangong Yi.
But it is a true fact that Nangong Yi is in danger.
She wanted to ignore Nangong Yi's existence, ignore the situation he was in danger now, but she couldn't do it, even if Nangong Yi had completely regarded Vika as her now, she couldn't do it.
Now the contractor doesn't look at her as much as he used to, and she seems to be gradually free. If you want to leave Kyoto now, it doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do?
"When are you going to leave?"
The contractor seemed to read her thoughts and asked.
Before, he wanted her to stay, but now it seems that as long as Nangong Yi is in Kyoto for a day, if Lin Jue stays here, she will have no way to forget him at all.
After going through so many things, the contracted husband also understands a little.
In fact, he now has nothing but the false name of the third prince of the Rakshasa Kingdom. In that case, what difference does it make if you stay there?
Lin Jue left Kyoto, and he could leave with her. This is not a difficult thing for him to be alone now.
As for returning to the Rakshasa Kingdom......
In fact, that position, the Maharaja had no intention of giving it to him, and Heru is now inheriting, which can be regarded as justifiable, he ...... The contractor suddenly realized that it was Vika who had been urging and reminding him to return to China to regain that position. And now, without Vika by his side, he actually felt that that seat was not an essential part for him.
As soon as such an idea came out, the contractor was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
What the hell has happened to him lately?
Such a lack of ambition, the kindness of a woman, or is he?
Just when the contract husband was full of contradictions, Lin Jue's answer surprised him again, "I have decided not to leave Kyoto for the time being." β
The contract husband's heart sank, "Because of Nangong Yi? β
This is nonsense.
She chose to stay, not for Nangong Yi, but for him?
Lin Jue didn't plan to answer.
What should she do, she already has a plan in her heart.
*
"I can't see it, you really have two hands!"
In the secret room of the Four Princes' Mansion, Ling Xi looked at Vika, who was sitting opposite, and said.
He always thought that Nangong Yi was a smart person, and Vika's "bag drop" was not clever in his opinion, and even at that time he was worried that he would be recognized by Nangong Yi in two days, but he didn't expect that the so-called smart people couldn't pass the beauty level.
Looking at Vika, who has now successfully entered the General's Mansion, the four princes are a little emotional.
Vika became Lin Er, but what about the real Lin Er?
A certain bright and beautiful face that I saw in Chuxiu Palace suddenly appeared in front of me, it was a pity that such a beautiful face was.
Thinking like this, he asked in a ghostly manner, "What about Lin Er?" You killed her? β
"As long as the plan is successful, as for whether Lin Er is dead or not, it doesn't matter, right?"
Vika was a little angry.
Why does everyone have to pay extra attention to Lin Jue, obviously the two of them look exactly the same face, but everyone has a preference for Lin Jue? The four princes in front of him are like this, and so is the contract husband!
"If she's not dead, it doesn't matter."
The fourth prince said with a smile.
Vika was a little impatient, "Don't worry, I'm in control. β
"It's for the best."
The fourth prince squinted his narrow eyes, and unlike Ling Mo's fortitude, he was born with a romantic nature, sometimes just looking at each other ordinarily, but it would make people have the illusion of an affectionate gaze. Of course, his face didn't play much of a role for Vika. After all, by her side, there have already been two peerless characters with completely different temperaments, the contract husband and Nangong Yi.
Lin Jue squatted on the wall of the Four Princes' Mansion, hiding her thin body under the branches of the huge old banyan tree, she had followed Vika all the way just now, and finally saw her quietly enter here through the side door.
Sure enough, she guessed correctly, Vika and the Four Princes were in a gang.
But how can she tell Nangong Yi the news? Judging from his attitude towards her that day, if he rushed over to tell him like this, Nangong Yi would definitely not believe it. Thinking of this, Lin Jue scolded Nangong Yi again in her heart, she has lived for so long, she has seen very stupid people in this world, but she has never seen someone as stupid as him, who can't even tell her fiancΓ©e!?
Vika has been in for nearly half an hour, and now her identity is special, it is impossible to stay here for too long, Lin Jue shrank carefully, Vika's martial arts are strong, and the level of vertigo is far above her, if she is not careful, she will be discovered.
Sure enough, Vika walked out of the thatched house in the backyard just now, she walked in a hurry, and she didn't seem to see Lin Jue squatting on the wall.
Just when Lin Jue was full of joy, she suddenly heard the sound of Xi Suo Suo from the banyan tree next to her. A chill rose from his back, and Lin Jue followed the prestige, and was instantly so frightened that he didn't even dare to make extra movements.
God, a flower snake is slowly swimming from the branch of the banyan tree towards this, and the flower snake seems to have seen Lin Jue, and is spitting out a letter towards her at the moment, making a strange tone of "hiss".
Lin Jue was right, but he was not big enough to catch a poisonous snake alive. She couldn't figure it out, it was early winter, what was this snake doing when it didn't hibernate and climbed up the tree? Do snakes climb trees?
Just when Lin Jue's back was dripping with cold sweat and the flower snake was staring at him widely, Vika, who had already walked to the side door, seemed to hear something and stopped. Then, she turned around and walked towards the wall where Lin Jue was squatting.
The flower snake was staring at her, this kind of formation, Lin Jue was very familiar, as long as she moved slightly, this thing would instantly pounce on her. Lin Jue's eyes fell on Vika, who was walking quickly towards this side, if she didn't move, she would definitely be discovered by Vika.
Was it bitten by a snake, or did he choose to be discovered by Vika?
Lin Jue was a little desperate.
First, he was bitten by a snake and died of poisoning before Vika found out. Second, he was bitten by a snake, poisoned, and found by Vika, who then killed by her. Third, he was bitten by a snake, but he was not poisoned, and was found by Vika, who then went on to be killed by her. Fourth, he was not bitten by a snake, and was found by Vika, who then went on to be killed by her.
It can be seen that there are many choices, but in fact, there is only one way for her, and that is death.
In this short period of time, Vika had already walked under the tree.
In fact, this is the annex of the Four Princes' Mansion, and there are basically no people in and out of the house, and even the women who sprinkle and sweep are pitiful.
Vika stood still under the tree and looked up.
Lin Jue panicked for a while.
Although from the perspective of Vika standing now, she can't spot Lin Jue, but Vika can't move, she doesn't even need to move, just take a sword and pluck the dense banyan leaves and branches, and she can see everything clearly.
Lin Jue will not work lightly, she was able to climb this wall just now, purely based on her brute strength, if she jumps down now, the movement is so big, not only will she be bitten by the flower snake, but she will definitely be discovered by Vika.
Vika casually folded a branch and held it in his hand.
The cold sweat on Lin Jue's back broke out even more.
In addition to the danger of being bitten by the flower snake, she jumped from the wall, and Vika jumped out of the wall, there should be a time difference between the two, although it is only a little bit, although the chance of being able to escape is not great, but now in this situation, it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Vika got closer, raised the branch in her hand, Lin Jue looked at the flower snake that was still staring at her, she didn't care much, and was about to jump-
"Sisterβ"
The silence of the garden was shattered by the delicate timbre, and Vika turned her head to see the contractor smiling towards her.
"How did you end up here?"
She frowned.
But at the same time, there was a small excitement in my heart, the contractor came here, was he worried about her, afraid that she would be in danger of coming to see the fourth prince alone?
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
She had never been so grateful to the contractor, he had come so timely!
"Isn't that what I should ask you?"
The contractor asked rhetorically as he walked in another direction without a trace.
Vika followed him as well.
The two of them had gradually walked away, but Lin Jue still shrank in the corner and didn't dare to move. Because the flower snake was still staring at her, motionless, as if frozen there.
It didn't move, and Lin Jue naturally didn't dare to move, so even if the contractor had already lured Vika away, she could only shrink back on the wall, maintaining her original posture at the beginning.
Her feet began to go numb, and she couldn't stand it anymore. But the flower snake had no intention of leaving.
Qi and blood surged, Lin Jue finally couldn't stand it, she gritted her teeth, took advantage of the snake's inattention, and gently moved her right foot, but such a slight movement attracted the attention of the flower snake, and in an instant, the snake that was originally like a stone actually moved, not only moved, but actually pounced straight towards her, and opened its mouth to bite her ankle-
The flower snake's movements were too fast, although she knew that it was too late to dodge, but Lin Jue still subconsciously leaned back, in a hurry, she forgot that there was nothing behind her, so she leaned up, and the whole person fell down from the wall with her head down!
Syllable!
She seemed to have fallen into a somewhat stiff embrace.
Lin Jue was stunned, looked up, and met a pair of eyes as black as ink.
Nangong Yi's eyes were flat, and he stared at her expressionlessly.
"Nangong Yi ......"
Lin Jue muttered, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared. Or rather, she planned to keep the autumn queen and settle accounts with this bastard.
"It's fine that the princess is fine."
Nangong Yi said, and put Lin Jue down very easily.
"Princess, you big-headed ghost! βββ
The anger that had just been extinguished instantly came out again, Lin Jue picked up his sleeves and punched Nangong Yi in the face! You can't blame her, he forced her to do it!
"Nangong Yi, are you sick or not, if you are sick, hurry up and treat it! I'm Lin Jue, can't you even recognize me? β
Finally found an opportunity for Vika's absence, Lin Jue was determined to scold Nangong Yi well, Vika is proficient in all kinds of witchcraft, Nangong Yi can't recognize her, maybe she has fallen for Vika's witchcraft.
"Didn't you say that even if I turned to ashes and turned to dirt, you would still remember me? Now that I'm standing in front of you, you don't even recognize me? β
Lin Jue looked at him, originally wanting to take this opportunity to scold, but as he spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"When I went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to participate in the flower party, you squatted on such a wall, I was going to win the pot throwing, you took a tile to plot against me, and I almost fell into the lake; At that time, I was always bullied by Lin Lang's sisters and brothers, it was you who stood up for me every time, once, I really thought you were about to die, and I couldn't sleep all night, but the next day I saw you appear in my father's study alive; Also, it's obvious that I designed you to be scolded by your father, but every time at the end, the worst thing to be scolded by your father is my ......"
Nangong Yi was still expressionless.
Lin Jue raised his head, but tears flowed more and more, "So many things, Nangong Yi, don't you remember?" (To be continued.) )
