Chapter 37: Chen Kui's Identity
The moonlight gently sprinkled on Lu Qingzi's face, reflecting her beautiful cheeks. She took a deep breath, then gently pushed Bai Fanghua's study open. At this moment, it was already pitch black in the study, and only a few rays of moonlight entered the room, revealing dappled light and shadow. Turning around, he carefully closed the door of the study and began to check the contents of the white room. After checking around, but not finding what he wanted, Lu Qingzi couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
I was about to open the door of the house, but suddenly I heard footsteps in a trance outside, and it sounded like at least a dozen people were rushing this way. From the edge of the window, it can be seen that the bright torches have illuminated the dark courtyard, and Lu Qingzi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, what's going on? Did you find out? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be even more flustered, and the hand that just wanted to open the door of the study quickly retracted, and hurriedly found a hidden place to hide. Behind a three-fold screen, Lu Qingzi heard his panicked breathing.
But in a moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer to the study. Finally, the footsteps finally reached the door of the study, and she could even feel a hand on the carved wooden door of the study.
A man's voice outside the door came very clearly: "Search for me!" Don't miss a single place. ”
Lu Qingzi only felt that her breath was suffocating, and her hands and feet became cold. Just when she felt that she was about to be discovered, it was suddenly
A scream was heard at the door: "Ah! ”
The hand that was about to push the door instantly broke away from the door frame and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Someone hit me in the back." Another voice replied.
Then, the man immediately shouted in a certain direction, "Over there!" Give me chase! ”
The footsteps of a group of people left quickly, and Lu Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to make any sound, for fear that those people would suddenly come back and find her traces. Until the footsteps outside had disappeared, Lu Qingzi cautiously pushed open the door, but saw that there was still the light of torches not far away, and now when he went out, he could only kill himself.
They were still outside, and Lu Qingzi had no choice but to go back to the study. The night was already dark, and Lu Qingzi was afraid of alarming others when she came out, so she only wore a single coat, and at this moment, she was so attacked by the cold that she felt that her whole body was trembling. After waiting for a long time for the firelight to fade away, she quickly returned to the dance hall from a trail.
Inside the house, everyone was still asleep, and no one noticed Lu Qingzi's departure and return.
Lying on the bed on tiptoe, Lu Qingzi was stimulated by the heating, and couldn't help but shiver, he couldn't find a clue today, and it seemed that he could only make another plan. Thinking so, she covered the brocade quilt, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chuyao woke up, but saw that Lu Qingzi was still asleep. Looking at Lu Qingzi's sleeping face, Zhou Chuyao couldn't help but feel a little strange, Lu Qingzi originally worked very hard, and got up early on time almost every day, what's wrong today?
"Egret?"
"Get up......."
Zhou Chuyao screamed twice, but saw that Lu Qingzi did not react.
Looking at her carefully, Lu Qingzi's cheeks were slightly red at this moment, which was a little different from the past.
Zhou Chuyao couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead, and she actually had a high fever.
"Egret, wake up!"
Zhou Chuyao called out loudly, and Lu Qingzi woke up faintly. She only felt that her brain was dizzy at the moment, and Zhou Chuyao in front of her didn't look so real, but it seemed like she had drunk too much wine. After a while, she asked, "Are you going to practice?" ”
As soon as the words came out, I realized that my voice was very weak, and my throat was tight and painful.
"What's wrong with me......."
Zhou Chuyao interrupted her and said to her: "You must have caught a cold, what are you going to practice when you are like this, I will tell the girl that it is serious to grab some medicine and eat it earlier." ”
As he spoke, he was about to tell Zhao Yaoye so that Lu Qingzi could send someone to see a doctor.
As soon as I got out of bed, I saw two attendants coming to the door, and said to a few dancers in the house with a cold face: "Today's martial law is strict, no one is allowed to leave the house, everyone will follow me to the front yard to see Lord Bai." ”
Although Lu Qingzi's mind was dizzy, when he heard the two words of the attendant, he couldn't help but hold a cold feeling in his palm.
Zhou Chuyao glanced at Lu Qingzi, whose cheeks were red, and said to the two attendants at the door: "Bailu, she has already launched a high fever, please give a voice back to your lord." ”
The two attendants glanced at Lu Qingzi, and saw that she did have a cold on her forehead, and her face was very bad, so she said, "Since this is the case, she doesn't have to go, and the rest of the people will come with me." ”
Zhou Chuyao glanced at Lu Qingzi and comforted her: "I will tell the girl, you lie down in peace first, don't move." ”
After saying that, Zhou Chuyao immediately followed behind the dancing girl in front of him and walked out.
Lu Qingzi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what happened to Baifu to be under martial law? She lay on the bed, only feeling cold hands and feet, hot body, and heavy eyelids, but in the end she still couldn't hold on, and slowly fell into a coma again. I don't know how long it took for her to feel someone coming, and finally opened her eyes again. I saw that Zhou Chuyao had already put his arm behind his back, let himself sit up, holding a glass of water in his hand, and was about to feed himself.
Lu Qingzi took a sip of water, and his throat felt better as if he wanted to catch fire.
"Thank you." Lu Qingzi smiled gratefully, and when Zhou Chuyao saw that she had finished drinking, she put down the cup and said to her, "The girl will be here in a while." ”
Lu Qingzi nodded, and finally blurted out the question that he had been waiting for for a long time: "What's wrong with the house?" Why martial law? ”
Zhou Chuyao shook his head, and said with a confused face: "I don't know, the adults asked one by one, and only said that they didn't see any suspicious people yesterday, and let us come back." But... When I came out, I saw Chen Kui. ”
“....... Chen Kui? Isn't she in Wu Sisheng's yard? ”
Zhou Chuyao whispered to her: "I saw her being carried out, and there was blood everywhere. ”
"How so?"
"Who knows?" Zhou Chuyao took care of Lu Qingzi, and was also full of confusion.
Not long after, Zhao Yao also took Lang Zhong to Lu Qingzi's room, prescribed some medicine and left.
Zhao Yao also stayed, sat next to Lu Qingzi and asked, "Have a good rest these days, you will be fine in a few days." ”
Lu Qingzi nodded, and Zhao Yao also said, "But you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”
Lu Qingzi looked dazed, and Zhao Yao also looked at her and said, "Lord Bai is very angry today, I checked everyone in the house, you are sick, but you have been spared." ”
“....... Why the sudden investigation? Lu Qingzisha asked in a hoarse voice.
Zhao Yao also sighed: "Chen Kui is a secret guard who stabbed Wu Sisheng. ”
Not only was Lu Qingzi shocked, but even Zhou Chuyao didn't expect it: "Chen Kui turned out to be a secret guard?" ”
"Yes."
Who would have thought that Chen Kui, who has always been delicate and pretentious, would be a secret guard?
