Chapter 159: Crisis (1)
The sun is gradually rising, and a new day has arrived. Mu Jinggong was still dealing with Ouyang Ruolin's wounds, and Mu Zhixi was dealing with Xuan Zhuyi's injuries in another room. In the hall, Shang Ling, Feng Xunyi, and Mo Cheng sat on the stool without saying a word. A rush of footsteps came from far and near, and the three of them subconsciously looked at the door, only to find that it was Yu Cihe standing by the door.
"Yu Tzu-hyuk?" Shang Ling frowned, stood up, suppressed his emotions, and walked towards her, "Where did you go last night?" ā
"Last night, it was my problem."
"Now is not the time to be held accountable, I want to ask you, yesterday on the night of the full moon, you were unwell and should have been in the room, but why weren't you there?"
Yu Cihe seemed to be a little flustered: "Shang Ling, I know you are very angry now, but I hope you don't ask this question again." ā
"Why don't you ask again?" Shang Ling felt that his emotions were a little excited, and he let out a long breath and said calmly, "Yu Cihe, you are honest with me today, do you really regard these people here as friends?" ā
"Then since you're asking here, I want to ask you, do you take me as a friend?"
"Yu Tzu He, don't you feel heartache when you ask? You know what my business spirit has done to you. ā
"Well, you treat me as a friend, but you never trusted me, is that wrong?"
"Iā" Shang Ling was a little speechless, and then changed his train of thought and said, "I believe in you, but you always hide from us about something. I treat you as a friend, but you see us as if we were tools to pave the way for your princess. Truth be told, Yu Tzu-hyuk, you have too many secrets on you. If you don't say anything, it will only make people doubt you constantly. If nothing else, let's talk about Ah Xuan's incident. If you had gone back at that time, I think with your ability, even if you were injured, you would have heard something unusual, right? You can also tell Ruolin where we are, so she won't be alone in looking for Ah Xuan, and she won't be in danger! The more Shang Ling spoke, the more excited he became, and finally directly crushed a teacup in his hand and clutched it in the palm of his hand, and blood came out, but he still suppressed his voice and stared at Yu Cihe tightly, "I don't want to blame you, let alone ask about your news and secrets, everyone is their own master, I just hope that when we are here, we can be honest with each other, what do you think?" Yu Cihe looked at the blood in Shang Ling's palms and said nothing, Mo Cheng suddenly stood up and walked to Shang Ling's side and muttered, "Master Shang, what are you doing here?" You let go of your hand, you don't feel any pain yourself, do you? ā
"Shang Ling, put the cup down." Feng Xunyi also stood up and walked to him and took out the cup in his hand, "What happened last night was something that no one expected, and no one wants it to happen." I believe that Miss Yu has something difficult to say, and there are some things she can't say. ā
Yu Cihe was no longer silent, and said, "Shang Ling, I did hide a lot from you, but none of the things I concealed were unfavorable to you, let alone harming you. One day you will know all these things that I have hidden, but now the time has not yet come, and I can't say it yet, and I hope you can understand me. In these last few days, I don't want us to turn into enemies, even if it will be someday in the future, but I don't want everything to start now. ā
Shang Ling understood the meaning of Yu Cihe's words, and he didn't want to dwell on anything anymore. What should be said and done, I did my best, Yu Cihe also tried my best, it doesn't matter how the process of some things is, the result is already doomed, I don't want to worry about it, but I am good for myself and everyone.
Shang Ling sighed and said, "Okay, I see." I won't ask you anything like that in the future, I'll wait until that day for you to tell me personally. ā
Mo Cheng smiled: "That's right!" If there is something we can say ourselves, it would be good. ā
Feng Xunyi: "The top priority now is to find out the origin of those people, otherwise we will be injured like this every time, and if we don't take precautions, we will be caught by the other party sooner or later in the long run." ā
Yu Cihe: "Feng Xunyi is right, so I have already found out the origin of that group of people. There were four people on the other side, and I found a sign on them, which I think you are all familiar with, it is a bat pattern. ā
Shang Ling: "Jade Dragon Terrace." ā
Yu Tzu He: "Yes, but in addition to that, one of them has half a palace card on his body. ā
Feng Xunyi: "So, it's someone in the palace?" ā
Yu Cihyuk: "These people look like dead soldiers in both clothing and behavior, and I speculate that they are not from the palace, but the dead soldiers raised by the people in the palace in Lujiang County. Or, to put it another way, the person in charge of the Jade Dragon Terrace is in the palace. ā
Shang Ling: "Uncle Xu once said that Yulongtai is actually a killer organization that the emperor eradicates dissidents and lays the foundation for himself to sit firmly on the throne, and his father Hai Linfeng used to be the pavilion master of Yulongtai, so after his father's death, who took over Yulongtai?" ā
Feng Xunyi: "That's naturally the person who killed your father before." As long as your father is dead, Jade Dragon Terrace will be his. ā
Shang Ling: "It's Nie Qishan." ā
Mo Cheng: "But I heard Miss Mu say that this Nie Qishan is now uncertain, is it possible that someone else?" I mean, if Nie Qishan is dead, and the Jade Dragon Terrace still exists, then the emperor should give it to the person he trusts the most now. ā
Yu Cihe: "The emperor's most trusted person now is Shen Fan, could it be that Yulongtai is in Shen Fan's hands?" ā
Shang Ling: "Father-in-law? No way, I've been with him for years, and it's impossible for him to handle it for years without me finding out. ā
Feng Xunyi: "Then what if you took over recently?" Shang Ling had nothing to say.
Yu Cihe: "Whether Shen Fan is the trusted pavilion master of Yulongtai has yet to be verified, but now there is direct evidence pointing to Xiao Yuhuan. ā
Mo Cheng: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still involved in this matter?" ā
Yu Tzu He: "I've looked at that half of the palace card carefully, it's from the East Palace." These people should be ordered by Yulongtai, and the owner of Yulongtai is ordered by the crown prince Xiao Yuhuan. It must be that Xiao Yuhuan felt that we knew too much and wanted to clear the obstacles, so he found someone from Yulongtai to help him. They have the symbol of the Jade Dragon Terrace on their bodies, and it is certain to say that they are the people of the Jade Dragon Terrace, but the appearance of that half of the palace card is a coincidence. They should have planned to go back to their lives tonight when the matter was over, so they brought the palace card with them. ā
Shang Ling: "We left in a hurry yesterday, and those corpses and broken arms haven't been cleaned up yet. ā
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Don't worry, I'll bury them all when I go this morning." ā
Shang Ling: "Hmm. ā
"Come on!" Mu Zhixi's voice suddenly appeared, and Mo Cheng hurriedly asked, "Miss Mu?" What's wrong! ā
Mu Zhixi came out of the room and said in a panic: "Senior brother has a splitting headache and faints again. Everyone hurriedly ran up, Xuan Zhuyi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his lips were white, and he was motionless. Feng Xunyi stepped forward to check his pulse, and said after a while: "It's not a big deal, help him prepare some water, and he will wake up in about a pillar of incense." ā
Mo Cheng: "Girl Mu, what's going on?" Didn't Miss Gong say that Master Xuan was fine? Why did you faint all of a sudden? ā
Mu Zhixi: "Originally, the senior brother had woken up, and his mind was also very sober. But he didn't know what was going on, and he suddenly said that his head hurt, and then he fainted. ā
Feng Xunyi: "After he woke up, did you hear any strange sounds or see anything strange?" Did he talk to you? ā
Mu Zhixi: "No, after the senior brother woke up, he didn't worry about Ruolin, so he wanted to go over to see Ruolin, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped moving." Then I started to think about it, and then I said I had a headache, and then I walked back. ā
Feng Xunyi: "Broken thoughts? What did he say? ā
Mu Zhixi: "He seems to have been saying one word, Yulongtai?" ā
Shang Ling exclaimed: "Jade Dragon Terrace? Why is it Jade Dragon Terrace again? ā
Yu Cihe: "It's not a coincidence, it should be that Xuan Zhuyi walked to the door and just heard us talk about Yulongtai, and he fainted after some kind of stimulation." ā
Mo Cheng: "Miss Yu? What kind of stimulation will Jade Dragon Terrace have for Xuan Gongzi? ā
Yu Cihe: "Xuan Zhuyi has lost his memory of what happened to him, and now he is so sensitive to the three words of Yulongtai, maybe he has lost his memory because of Yulongtai." Now that they have already come to the door, it seems that some things should be advanced, and tomorrow morning, I will go to Beijing to check on Xiao Yuhuan's affairs and Shen Fan's details. ā
Shang Ling: "I'll go with you." ā
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "What? You're still not worried about me? Are you afraid of what I will do to your father-in-law? ā
Shang Ling: "No, I know you're not going to do anything right now. I'm afraid that you are in danger, and on the other hand, I also have something to do when I enter Beijing. ā
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "It's okay, let you look at me, so that you won't continue to doubt me." ā
Mu Zhixi: "No matter what, you all have to pay attention to safety. The capital is no better than here, and you have to be careful in everything you do. ā
"Dangdangdang" A crisp knock on the door came, Mo Cheng turned around and opened the door, and Mu Jinggong stood outside the door with tears in his eyes.
Mu Zhixi saw Mu Jinggong like this, and hurriedly walked over and hugged her: "Jinggong? What's wrong with you? Well, come and talk to my sister. ā
Mu Jinggong sobbed: "Sister, I'm so useless, I'm really useless." ā
Mu Zhixi comforted: "Jing Gong is not in a hurry, is there something wrong with Ruolin?" We'll all help you, you tell your sister first, what's going on? ā
Mu Jinggong sobbed and said, "Sister, Ruolin is awake, but her eyes can't see anymore." I was really useless, I couldn't cure her eyes, and I didn't know how to comfort her. Sister, go over and help her. I don't know how to explain to my brothers, I'm sorry for them. ā
Mu Zhixi suddenly didn't know what to say, Ouyang Ruolin's eyes couldn't see, it was obviously not Mu Jinggong's fault, let alone what everyone wanted. But now, who can do that?
