Chapter Twenty-Five: The Pillow Man

Thank you for the two peace charms 141004130535745 by the book friends, thank you, dear.

On the second floor of the study, candlelight flickered.

With a solemn face, Cui Gu poured the blood-stained soil in her handkerchief into the potion she had just boiled, observed it intently for a while, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, you guessed it right, this poison is the Bone Turning Powder. ”

When Mu Yunting heard this, his heart trembled.

More than a month ago, Tusi Urva died of illness in Youzhou on the border, and Mu Yunting was ordered to preside over the attack on the prince Ugin, during which he received an anonymous letter, saying that Urva did not die of illness, but was victimized, and hoped that the imperial court could administer justice for Urva.

For this reason, Mu Yunting deliberately stayed in Youzhou for an extra month, secretly visited, and only then did he get some clues, sure enough, Urva's death was not as simple as dying of illness, but was given a kind of bone-dispersing **, this poison will not kill people in a short time, but will only make people increasingly weak and weak until they die.

He was waiting to be tracked down by Shunteng, but during an outing, he was suddenly attacked, if it weren't for the personal guard Mu Gu fighting desperately, he was afraid that he would have died in Huangquan.

In that life-and-death struggle, he and Mu Gu narrowly won, not wanting the assassin to be a dead soldier, and when he was captured, he actually bit the poison sac hidden in his teeth in advance and died, except for the purse and a ring in the sole of the assassin's shoe, there was nothing useful.

Because Mu Gu was seriously injured, he had to let him stay in his hometown in Youzhou to recuperate, and after his injuries were healed, he would come to the capital to look for him.

And he himself lied that he had accidentally fallen while riding a horse, and returned home to recuperate.

His fingers tapped on the armrests of the rattan chair one by one, and his heart grew heavier.

Unexpectedly, before he came back, someone had already sneaked to the house to remind him not to pursue the matter anymore, otherwise, he would definitely end up like Heifeng.

Obviously, someone in the house has been used as a pawn.

Only, who could this person be?

"Shizi, Aunt Yu from Mrs. Tai's side is here and is waiting downstairs, do you want her to come up?" Gong walked in expressionlessly.

"No need, you tell Aunt Yu that there are many doubts in the confessions of Thrush and Qiu Yan, and when I find out, I will naturally let them out." Mu Yunting drew a clue map on the rice paper on the case for a long time, rolled it up and burned it on the candle, until he watched the paper turn into a cluster of ashes.

"Yes." Gong Si retreated.

Mu Yunting stretched his uninjured arm, got up and walked towards the bedroom.

"Shizi." Mu An hurriedly stopped in front of him and said hesitantly, "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai confessed, saying that the prince must go back to the inner courtyard of the house to rest tonight." ”

Back to the inner courtyard?

Mu Yunting looked at Mu An incredulously.

Grandmother figured out that he was recuperating from his injuries!

It's okay to have broken arms!

Cui Gu also stepped forward and persuaded expressionlessly: "If the prince insists on refusing, it is the slaves and maids who are derelict in their duties." ”

Unexpectedly, my grandmother gave an order to Cuigu because of this matter.

"The son of the world is pitiful and pitiful!" Mu An persuaded with a bitter face, "Mrs. Tai said that if the prince doesn't go back to the inner courtyard, he will ask the small one." ”

Mu Yunting frowned and entered the clean room without saying a word.

Mu An's eyes lit up, and he followed upside down: "The little one will wait for the prince to wash." ”

The moonlight is clear.

The jasmine flowers in the yard bloomed sparsely, swaying gently in the night breeze.

"Shi, Shizi." Hearing the footsteps, Bi Tao, who was sleeping outside, hurriedly put on her clothes and got out of bed, pushed open the door and saw someone coming, she was instantly stunned, and stammered, "The young lady has already slept, and the slave will go to report to the young lady." ”

"No need." Mu Yunting pushed the door and entered the back room.

Momozhi, who was sleeping in the back room, heard the sound outside, quickly got up and dressed, lit a candle casually, and greeted him with a surprised face.

The dim candlelight reflected the expressionless face of the hostess.

He glanced at the peach branch casually and said coldly, "Get out."

"Yes!" Momozhi hugged the quilt and walked out in a daze.

Mu Yunting casually extinguished the candle, stepped forward to pull open the bed curtain, the moonlight outside the window sprinkled softly, and the person on the bed slept soundly, breathing lightly and evenly, as if he was dreaming something.

I slept like this.

I don't know if someone comes in.

He staggered off his coat, tightened the bed net, and lay in silently.

The person on the bed happened to be turned over, and by the light of the sky outside the bed tent, he could clearly see her red bandeau and her long, bare white and slender legs.

This sleeping position......

Is it tempting him?

How can a woman sleep like this?

In a moment, the fragrance of magnolia and the girl's body fragrance were entangled in the bed tent, and stubbornly wrapped him layer by layer.

His face was hot, and he hurriedly looked away.

Grandmother said that the emperor has always been suspicious, judging from the current situation, the lintel of our Yongding Marquis Mansion to marry a wife should not be too high, so as not to attract unnecessary suspicion and trouble, Jingzhou Shen family is a century-old family, although their family is demoted, but the family still has the background, the so-called wife should marry a virtuous.

And the emperor encouraged the nobles to marry the family.

Therefore, this family business is the best.

So, he obeyed his grandmother's arrangement and married her.

But when he thought of her unflinching attitude towards him, he felt a pang of displeasure in his heart, he didn't like women to be too stubborn and smart, for him, it was best for a woman to be well-behaved and quiet.

The quiet woman was not what he liked, but it was the most suitable for him.

A faint pain hit his arm, the corners of his mouth twitched, he reached out and stroked the arm wrapped in thick gauze, and a trace of solemnity suddenly appeared on his face.

The emperor was already suspicious of Urva's sudden death, and when he heard about it, he secretly ordered him to thoroughly investigate Urva's case, and repeatedly instructed him to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.

Now, the enemy is dark and he has no clue.

Unexpectedly, the other party started faster, and he had already infiltrated the house.

Thinking of this, he secretly shook the dagger hidden in his sleeve, turned his head and looked at the quiet woman sleeping beside him, this woman grew up in Jingzhou, which is far away from the capital, and was raised in a deep boudoir, so it shouldn't have anything to do with this matter, right?

If this woman behaves in any way, he will not hesitate to get rid of her, and he must not leave any hidden dangers around.

The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent.

For a man, the most difficult thing to guard against is naturally the person next to him.

Pillow man?

He couldn't help but stand up, covered her with a quilt, covered her almost naked body, and quietly looked at her sleeping face, unfamiliar face, unfamiliar breath, and unfamiliar pillow person......

The stranger the place, the more he did not dare to approach, because he was afraid of seeing familiar things, and for him, familiar things were not beautiful.

He is familiar with the battlefield, the bloody scene, and the intrigues between people.

It is better to leave some expectations and imaginations, so that he can believe that there is still beauty and happiness in this world that he is not familiar with.

It's just that he can hope for it?

Wait, I always feel that this faint unfamiliar magnolia fragrance is mixed with a hint of the spicy taste he is familiar with, green onions? Garlic?

How can it be?

He couldn't help but bow his head and wonder what was going on, could it be that this woman wanted to please him so much that she even knew about his hobbies, and ate these coarse things as much as she could?

If so, then the woman is even more dangerous.

Suddenly, with a snap, a warm and soft slap slapped him in the face: "Bastard, you get out of the way." ”

This damn woman dared to hit him.

Mu Yunting was about to get angry, but when he saw her muttering, he turned over again, leaving him with a smooth ** back.

Feeling the burning on his face, he longed to reach out and strangle her.

Thinking that he was asleep, and did not know that he was coming, he sat up, tore his clothes with a black face, put them on his body, and walked out indignantly.

If he came to this house again, he would be an idiot.

Shen Qingli fell asleep, and dreamed that a man was always yelling at her to get out, although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she knew that it was the bastard, so she quarreled with him fiercely, and beat him, and her heart suddenly felt comfortable.

When I woke up and saw the blue light faintly coming in through the window, I realized that it was a dream.

"You said the prince was here last night?" Shen Qingli stared at Taozhi incredulously, how could she not know?

"Yes, I did." Taozhi also looked at Shen Qingli incredulously, and when she saw her puzzled look, she also wondered, "Don't the young lady know?" After the prince entered the house, he let the slave and maid out, and the slave and maid did not have time to wake up the young lady. ”

"And when did he leave?" Shen Qingli asked in surprise.

She has always slept deeply, if she hadn't woken her up or slept until she woke up naturally, she would have basically not woken up all night, and I didn't expect this bad habit to come here.

This is not a good sign.

"I stayed for about an hour." Momoeda said, "I don't know why Shizi suddenly left in the middle of the night. ”

For an hour, or two hours, he must not just stand on the ground, that is to say, he has been lying on the bed.

Shen Qingli's face turned red.

She happened to take off her underwear and slept last night, oh my God, could it be more embarrassing?
