Green shade shade of the moon, lush vegetation, a stone paved path through the flowers and trees, originally it was like a silver belt shining under the moonlight, but unfortunately today the silver belt has fallen a thick layer of black ash. The scent of flowers and trees in the past has been replaced by the burnt smell of a fire tonight.

Walking through this trail and bypassing a rockery, a black ruin wall that had been burned by the fire appeared in front of everyone. There were quite a few people busy looking for something in the ruins, and a few others were looking for something on the periphery of the ruins.

In front of the ruins was a large clearing scorched by fire, and several bodies were lying side by side on the ground, covered with white cloths. The man at the head closed his eyes violently when he saw this, and he vaguely smelled the scorching smell that seemed to be mixed with a smell of blood. When he opened his eyes again, there was a flame of anger burning inside.

The little guy cleared his throat and shouted sharply: "The emperor has arrived"

Everyone was shocked, and immediately bowed down: "I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

The organic spirit immediately brought a few chairs, "Get up!" After Zhu Xian sat down in the center, his eyes swept around the crowd with sharp eyes. He pointed to a figure in a purple robe in the crowd and ordered, "Guo Shilang, step forward and reply." ”

"Yes." When Guo Chengsi picked up the hem of his robe that was wet with water, he walked quickly to Zhu Xian, waiting for his inquiry.

It wasn't until he got closer that Zhu Xian saw that his face was black and white, and there were a few hot blisters on the back of his hands. Even the clothes on his body showed signs of being burned by the fire.

"Hey, Guo Shilang, if you let the queen see you. I don't know how to feel distressed! Zhao Quan also saw his appearance clearly, couldn't help but exclaim, and stepped forward to pat the dust off his body.

Guo Chengsi took a step back a little uncomfortably, and said humbly: "Don't dare to do it yourself." Zhao Quan smiled, then withdrew his hand and retreated.

There was such a big mistake, which originally made Zhu Xian full of anger towards Guo Chenghe, who was in charge of the case. But when I came to the scene, I saw him so wolf-like. The anger in his chest couldn't help but dissipate a little. Zhu Xian frowned and ordered, "You stand down, I have something to say to Guo Shilang." ”

"Yes." The guards and Zhao Quan immediately dispersed. However, they did not go far, and only surrounded Zhu Xian to stand guard.

Zhu Xian looked at Guo Chengsi in front of him and said coldly: "Let's talk about it!" What's going on with this fire? ”

Guo Chengsi gave him his hand and said with a face full of shame: "It's Weichen who is not thoughtful. I didn't expect the opponent to be so cunning. I can even find this villa that has been abandoned for several years."

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly put on her clothes, put her wet hair casually on top of her head, opened the door with the medicine box on her back and walked out. Who knew that she hadn't stepped out of the courtyard gate yet, and a deep voice sounded behind her: "Doctor Jia, where do you want to go?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan turned around in astonishment, but saw Duan Ling standing straight under the big banyan tree like a javelin. He was frowning and looking at himself with disapproval. Zhong Ziyuan asked in surprise, "Such a big thing happened." Why didn't Duan Guard stay with Master Guo? ”

Duan Ling looked up at the night sky outside that was illuminated by firelight, and said lightly: "Because Lord Guo has given a more important task to the humble position. ”

Zhong Ziyuan blinked. Gong arched his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't disturb the Duan guards." She turned around and was about to take a step further out of the courtyard. But Duan Ling strode over, and directly blocked the gate of the courtyard, blocking Zhong Ziyuan's way.

Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly stopped, she looked at Duan Ling puzzled, her eyes were full of question marks.

Duan Ling frowned and said, "Doctor Jia wants to go to the scene of the fire?" ”

"Yes, with such a big fire, there will definitely be people burned, I want to go and see it." Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly explained.

"Nope." Who would have thought that Duan Ling would refuse without hesitation, he said categorically: "Master Guo had an explanation before leaving. This fire started strangely, but I am afraid that the guards in this garden are no longer clean. For the sake of safety, Dr. Jia still stayed in the hospital and did not go out. It's just that with Dr. Jia's compassionate temperament, I'm afraid that he won't obey Lord Guo's arrangement, so he will order the humble to wait here. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was dumbfounded, but although she was a little annoyed in her heart, she was also a little moved. Because she knew that Duan Ling was tantamount to Guo Chenghe's right-hand man. Such a big thing happened tonight, but he chose to fight alone, leaving his most trusted helper to wait for him alone. This heart is obviously too precious to her.

Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan was silent, Duan Ling thought that she did not agree with Guo Chenghe's approach, so she was unhappy. He, who has always cherished words like gold, rarely opened his mouth again and explained: "Doctor Jia doesn't need to worry too much, you are not the only doctor in this garden. Even if someone is injured, they will be treated in a timely manner. ”

Zhong Ziyuan came back to her senses, with a shallow smile on her face, and said, "Okay, since Lord Guo doesn't want me to be too involved in this case, I won't show up." Her tone was particularly calm, without a hint of annoyance. She turned around leisurely, and sure enough, she returned to her room and closed the door casually.

Duan Ling looked at the closed door in surprise, and there was actually a smile of appreciation on his face, which had always been expressionless.

Indeed, at the moment when he heard the fire, Guo Chengsi was shocked. The forces behind this case have actually reached the point where they are pervasive and cover the sky with one hand. He suddenly felt regretful, he shouldn't have taken Zhong Ziyuan to Beiyuan to intervene in the case as soon as possible after the poisoning incident.

He was worried that because of his reckless actions, Zhong Ziyuan would be in danger, so he ordered Duan Ling to trap Zhong Ziyuan in the courtyard and prevent her from continuing to appear in front of everyone.

Duan Ling didn't expect Zhong Ziyuan to be so smart, and he guessed Guo Chengsi's true intentions in the light and flint, could this be the legendary heart-to-heart connection?

Zhong Ziyuan returned to his room. He put down the medicine box and lit the tallow lamp on the table with a flint and steel. She breathed a sigh of relief as the already dimly lit room grew brighter. Since there was nothing to do for the time being, he lay down on the long collapse under the window.

Through the window covered with blue shadows, she could faintly see that the bright and bewitching flames in the distance had been half lowered, and from time to time there were puffs of black smoke and white smoke, entangled like flying dragons, rising into the air and reaching into the sky. She could also faintly hear the commotion coming from outside. The shouting was endless.

Zhong Ziyuan secretly felt fortunate in his heart, this fire was fortunately burned in this sparsely populated garden. If it is in a densely populated city, or a prison full of prisoners, I am afraid that countless undead will be added to the underworld.

She just lay quietly on the couch, watching the fire get smaller and smaller. Smaller and smaller. until completely extinguished. Then there was a burst of cheers: "Great, the fire has finally been extinguished" Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and it was late at night.

Zhong Ziyuan's clenched heart was also slightly relaxed, and gradually, she felt that her eyelids were a little heavy, and a hazy sleepiness suddenly hit her. She jerked to her feet and walked briskly to the table. I poured myself a cup of tea that had already been cooled, and drank it in one gulp. Then he spun in circles around the house like a trapped beast.

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that her heart was full of strange anxiety and boredom. Finally, she opened the door and walked out again. Duan Ling was still standing straight at the gate of the courtyard like a door god, Zhong Ziyuan suspected that after he entered the house, he was afraid that he hadn't even moved his steps.

She coughed lightly, causing Duan Ling to look back at her. Facing his bright eyes, Zhong Ziyuan was embarrassed, and then subconsciously asked: "Since the fire has been extinguished, why hasn't Lord Guo returned to his room to rest?" ”

As soon as these words were asked, Zhong Ziyuan himself was stiff. Only then did she realize that she was anxious and couldn't sleep at night, and it was all from worrying about Guo Chenghe. Zhong Ziyuan didn't know when he was so interested in Guo Chenghe. It's just that she knows that this is not right, very wrong.

Duan Ling didn't know the shock she felt in her heart, so she only explained honestly: "Although the fire is extinguished, the adults still have to find out the cause of the fire and find out the arsonist, in short, there are still many things to be busy with. I guess it's not time to close your eyes tonight, so why don't you go back to sleep first! Maybe you'll wake up and the adults will be busy. ”

"Then I'll go back to sleep first." Zhong Ziyuan didn't wait for Duan Ling to persuade again, and immediately turned his back and fled. When she hurriedly stepped onto the threshold, she tripped and almost fell.

She stood up and "touched", and closed the door tightly in front of Duan Ling's surprised face. Only then did he caress his "bang" beating heart and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She bit her lip, slammed into the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and began to whisper to herself: "I didn't like him, I'm just worried that if he has an accident, Brother Zhuang's case will be ignored." Yes, exactly. Just get up and there's nothing to do."

It's a pity that she rolled over and over on the bed for a long time, and countless thoughts were fluctuating in her mind, making her not sleepy at all.

Not long after, familiar footsteps sounded outside, and then Duan Ling's surprised voice also came: "Why did the adults come back so early?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan's ears jerked up and began to carefully catch the sounds outside the house. I heard Guo Chengsi say in frustration: "Tonight's fire made the emperor very angry, he thought I was not doing well, and asked me not to meddle in this case again." The aftermath and all the files of this case were transferred to Li Shilang to deal with, and I came back to get the files. ”

Obviously, Duan Ling didn't expect the result to be like this, and he asked with some worry, "Does the emperor mean to blame the adult?" ”

Guo Chengsi sighed slightly and said, "It's just a year's worth of money, it's nothing." It's just that I've been investigating this case for so long, and now I'm really unwilling to hand it over! ”

How so? Zhong Ziyuan saw with her own eyes that Guo Chengsi had been sleepless and exhausted for this case these days, and the whole person had lost a lot of weight. How could this emperor wipe out all his efforts for a little mistake, he is really a faint king. Zhong Ziyuan was indignant in her heart, and inexplicably rose to a sense of hatred and hatred.

The two of them talked a few more words outside, and suddenly Guo Chengsi asked, "Is Doctor Jia arguing to go out?" ”

Duan Ling said honestly: "Originally, I wanted to go out, but after being persuaded by my humble position for a few words, I understood the good intentions of the adults who didn't want him to get involved in this case, so he didn't make a fuss and wanted to go out, and now he may be asleep." ”

Guo Chengsi smiled lightly and said, "He's obedient." ”

Duan Ling said disapprovingly: "I think he and the adults are of the same mind. Guo Chengsi's happy low laughter immediately sounded outside the house!

Bah! Zhong Ziyuan blushed and pouted secretly, who had the same heart as this person. She felt a little uncomfortable, so she touched a handkerchief and put it on her face, which seemed to be burning.

Just as she was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, Duan Ling's exclamation came into her ears: "My lord, why are you injured?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan "soared", turned over from the bed and sat up, didn't even have time to put on shoes, and ran out with bare snow-white feet. Seeing her running out in a hurry, Guo Chengsi in the courtyard was startled. "What happened to make you so alarmed?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan ran straight to him, raised his little face and looked him up and down for a moment, and asked in a trembling voice, "You, where did you hurt?" ”

Guo Chengsi saw her sad face, and her eyes were shining, and he knew that she was really worried. He hurriedly raised his hand and put it in front of her eyes, comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the back of your hand was burned by Mars, it's not a big deal." ”

He had three teacup-sized blisters on his hands, the edges of which were red and swollen and festering, and one of them had broken skin and was covered with black charcoal ash that was oozing liquid. Zhong Ziyuan's eyes were hot, she bit her lip stubbornly, and said, "Follow me into the house to take medicine." She turned and walked first towards the house.

Guo Chengsi subconsciously looked at her back, and was stunned to find that under her flying moon-white robe, a pair of snow feet actually loomed. He immediately turned his body to the side and blocked in front of Duan Ling. Coughing lightly, he said to Duan Ling, who was full of surprise, "You go to the study and move all the files to Li Shilang." ”

"Yes." Duan Ling didn't think much about it, and gave up his orders and left. Guo Chengsi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then walked towards Zhong Ziyuan's house with his long legs.

Zhong Ziyuan had already opened the medicine box and rummaged through it, forgetting that he was still barefoot.

Guo Chengsi looked at her yellowish little face and hands, then at her snow-white and delicate feet, smiled slightly, and sat down beside her. and consciously put the injured hand on a carved vermilion lacquer table in front of her.

Zhong Ziyuan took warm water and mixed salt water and began to help him rinse the wound, because if the charcoal ash left on the wound was not carefully rinsed, it would definitely leave a hideous scar. When the thick salt water flowed over the wound, Guo Chengsi's whole body muscles instantly tensed, and the severe pain made large beads of sweat appear on his forehead. (To be continued......)
