Li Heng patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Look, I only care about gossiping, but I forget to get down to business." This afternoon, a distinguished guest came to visit, and in the evening, his father and mother would set up a banquet to entertain him, and he invited Sanniang to take care of himself. ”

Xiling Yue couldn't wait to be clean, so she replied with a smile: "Madam and Shizi are too polite, naturally they are important guests." But......" she glanced at the sky outside the window, and euphemistically ordered the eviction, "Since the distinguished guests are coming, isn't the prince used to accompany the dinner?" ”

"Naturally, I want to accompany you, but the distinguished guest and my father have been discussing in the study, and the dinner has not yet begun." Li Heng stood up as he spoke, and also glanced at the sky outside the window, "The hour is about the same, I have to leave, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Coming back tomorrow? Xi Lingyue pulled out a smirk, got up to see off the guests, but said, "The tea hasn't been served yet, are you in a hurry to leave?" ”

Li Heng smiled meaningfully, stared at her and said, "It's just a cup of tea, and the coming days will be long." ”

This sentence made Xilingyue feel excited, and she didn't dare to say more. She followed Li Heng out of the front hall, and saw Pei Xingli standing bored in the courtyard, looking at a wet floor tiles.

At this time, the night is getting deeper, the lights are on, and the lights of the whole festival are brilliant, reflecting Pei Xingli's handsome spirit, and there is a trace of mysterious melancholy. Seeing this, Xilingyue couldn't help but think to herself, just looking at Li Heng, she also felt that she was thoughtful and had a good temperament, but compared with Pei Xingli, it was too mediocre. It just so happened that the two were cousins and often got together together......

Xilingyue looked at Li Heng again, only to see that he had already stepped down the steps, ignoring Pei Xingli, and ordered the guards in the courtyard: "Protect the Jiang family's lady well, and don't slack off in the slightest." ”

"Yes." The guards took orders.

At this time, Ah Luo happened to come over with a tea tray: "Huh? Shizi and General Pei are leaving? I haven't eaten the tea yet! ”

Li Heng turned around and saw three celadon tea cups on her tea tray, so he stepped forward and opened one of them to take a look: "It's indeed good tea, you worked hard to brew it, it's a pity." As he spoke, he picked up the cup of tea and lifted the lid to take a sip.

However, as soon as he brought the teacup to his mouth, he was suddenly interrupted by a shout from a short distance: "Catch the assassin!" Catch the Assassins! ”

With a "bang", Li Heng put the tea cup back on the tea tray, jumped out of the courtyard with Pei Xing, and left in a hurry.

For the whole day after that, the Jiedu embassy was cloudy. The guards searched back and forth, turning over the entire mansion, even the courtyard where Xilingyue lived, and came twice in succession.

At the same time, rumors spread in the mansion that the assassin last night was not a human, but a puff of smoke. Some people also say that Li Qi has killed too heavily in recent years, and the resentful spirit has turned into green smoke to retaliate......

All of a sudden, the people in the house were panicked, and many people had experienced strange things, even the cook saw the fish essence when she washed the vegetables......

The subordinates all cheered up, but Ah Luo didn't take this matter to heart, but complained that Li Heng put the tea cup too hard last night, splashed her with tea, and burned her fingers. Obviously there were only two small blisters, but she shouted to ask for a doctor, not like a hard-working maid, but like a delicate lady.

Xilingyue listened to her chatter for a morning, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she found an excuse to separate her and let her go to find out about Li Heng's news.

Ah Luo went happily. Xi Lingyue looked at her back and sighed that she was too naïve, and her heart was as big as a fight.

After lunch that day, Mrs. Gao never sent someone to summon her, probably because of the assassins, and she didn't have the heart to invite outsiders to dinner. At present, the palace is busy looking for assassins, and no one cares about this small courtyard, so Xiling Yue took the opportunity to take a nap to recuperate.

I don't know how long she slept, and suddenly Aluo's voice came from her ears: "Lady, it's not good!" Wake up, wake up! ”

Xilingyue was shaken awake, got up and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

Ah Luo first reprimanded her: "As a guest in the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, how dare you take a nap?" ”

Xilingyue disagreed: "Eating and sleeping, it's just right!" ”

Ah Luo sighed, and no longer bothered with her, and hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about this matter first, do you know that General Pei has been arrested?" ”

"Arrested?" Xiling Yue was taken aback, "What's going on?" ”

"Aren't the guards in this mansion all in charge of General Pei? When we went to inquire about the news, many people spread that it was said that someone had assassinated the envoy last night, and the prince blamed General Pei for his poor defense, and also suspected that he was in harmony with the assassins, so he imprisoned him. ”

Xi Lingyue's face sank when she heard this, and she thought that she had guessed correctly, Li Heng really didn't like this cousin. Didn't you say that the Assassin was a puff of smoke? Why did you have anything to do with Pei Xingli again? Moreover, when the accident happened last night, he was standing in this small courtyard, separated from the Assassins for 108,000 miles, how could he have any chance of colluding with the Assassins? And these Li Heng are obviously in the know!

As for the crime of "ineffective defense", it can be big or small, I am afraid that Li Heng will use the excuse to make things difficult. If it's difficult, it's difficult, but it took her a lot of time to reach a consensus with Pei Xingli, if he goes to prison, won't she really want to be trapped in this mansion?

Xilingyue contemplated with her eyebrows, remembering her original intention of going to Zhenhai, but she just wanted to come to the Jiedu Embassy to find someone and do one thing, but she was hot-headed and pretended to be Jiang Sanniang, so that she fell into this step. If she can help Jiedu Envoy catch the assassin this time, or find any clues to the strange power, can she ask for a promise, in case her impostor is exposed a day later, Jiedu Envoy can see that she is not to blame for this matter? can also save Pei Xingli.

Thinking of this, Xiling Yue came to her senses and said busily: "You go and see what the prince is doing, just say that I have something important to do, and invite him to come over." ”

Xiling Yue waited for half an hour before Li Heng came in a hurry, and when he stepped into the front hall, he asked straight to the point: "Sanniang has something to look for me?" ”

Seeing his expression, Xiling Yue knew that something was wrong, and after hurriedly saluting, he asked directly: "Shizi, did the assassin succeed last night?" Can servant shots and distinguished guests be in trouble? Did anyone catch it? ”

Li Heng shook his head: "Father is fine, and the assassin hasn't been caught, this matter is too strange, it seems that someone is pretending to be a ghost." ”

"Pretending to be a ghost?" Xiling Yue was really interested, "Could it be that the assassin has really turned into a puff of green smoke?" ”

Li Heng didn't answer, only glanced at her: "What are you doing when you ask about it?" Not scared? ”

"Don't be afraid," Xiling Yue replied seriously, "Yunyi wants to see if she can help." ”

Li Heng chuckled when he heard this, obviously he didn't take it to heart, but his words were quite tactful: "Sanniang is a guest in my house, I am already uneasy when I encounter such a thing, how dare I let you bother again?" ”

"The son of the world has seen the outside." Xilingyue casually said, "Actually, Yunyi had a dream last night, and in the dream, Guanyin Dashi appeared, which made me do my best." ”

Master Guanyin? Li Heng was a little surprised: "I thought you didn't believe this." ”
