This went for three full days, and three days later, Lin Hongyi finally returned home.

Of the more than ten secret guards he brought, none of them were missing, only Yu Muzhao followed him, both of them were dusty, and if you looked closely, there were still many deep and shallow scars on their bodies.

Xu Qingqing has been closed in the house for the past few days, although her face is silent, but she is so anxious in her heart.

Lin Hongyi lied to the outside world that he was sick in bed, and did not tell anyone that he took people up the mountain, let alone reveal the slightest news of the Death Pavilion.

One day or two days was fine, but for three days in a row, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but get anxious.

She was worried, for fear that Lin Hongyi would have three strengths and two shortcomings.

Hearing the news of his return home, she immediately took the maid to the door to greet him, and when she saw that Lin Hongyi was injured, she was immediately shocked: "What's going on?" ”

"It's just a small injury." Lin Hongyi shook his head and signaled that he was fine.

Looking at the blood stains oozing out of her clothes, Xu Qingqing felt distressed for a while: "I'll go to the doctor......

"No need, Niangniang, in the entire Lucheng, is there any doctor whose medical skills can be comparable to His Highness?" Mu Zhao said on the side.

Xu Qingqing was stunned.

She never knew that Lin Hongyi was proficient in medicine.

After thinking about it carefully, he didn't think it was strange, I heard that the disciples of the Afterlife Pavilion were all good at medicine, and it seemed reasonable for Lin Hongyi to be familiar with these.

"But before, you asked the doctor to diagnose and treat my dumb disease, and you soaked me in the medicine jar......" Recalling the past, Xu Qingqing couldn't help frowning.

"Didn't I cure you in the end?" Lin Hongyi said.

Do you still have the heart to talk back?

Xu Qingqing was so angry that she almost didn't pinch him, seeing that he looked tired, and there were two light green shadows under his eyes, he was reluctant to do it.

Dare to love this iceberg on purpose?

Deliberately didn't treat her personally, but wanted to call the doctor with ordinary medical skills to toss her?

"And what about the Gu worms?" She remembered something again, "I once found a Gu worm in the dresser, could it be that you are also making trouble?" ”

Lin Hongyi told the truth about that time, when he saw Xu Qingqing, he knew that she was conceived by Xu Shu, so he handed Zilu a fragrant powder that could repel Gu insects, and let Zilu pour it in the incense burner.

If it weren't for that, how could the Gu worm in her body leave her body so easily?

Xu Qingqing looked at the person in front of her, she felt that she really didn't know anything about this iceberg......

Just before coming to Lucheng, she secretly asked Zilu to go to the pharmacy outside to buy some sweat medicine, in order to prevent this iceberg beast from doing anything too much to her......

Now it seems that if you really take the sweat medicine, you will definitely be noticed by this iceberg immediately.

Lin Hongyi had a total of nineteen large and small injuries on his body, which looked a little terrifying, but none of them hurt his muscles and bones.

"Is this what Lin Xiuyuan did?" Xu Qingqing was both distressed and indignant.

Lin Xiuyuan is not a fool, after encountering an ambush, he quickly realized that he had fallen into a plan. Although he didn't bring many men and horses, he was still trapped, and all my guards died under his secret weapons......"

Xu Qingqing wanted to cut Lin Xiuyuan alive when she heard this, if she had a knife in her hand: "Where is that person now?" ”

"Don't worry, he has been captured by Mu Zhao." Lin Hongyi said.

Lin Hongyi personally escorted Lin Xiuyuan back to Beijing, originally Lin Xiuyuan didn't need to take action in person, because he was too eager for quick success and quick profit, and wanted Lin Hongyi to have no place to turn over, so he did not hesitate to personally bring people all the way to this Lucheng.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shuhuai had already sent someone to Prince Hong's mansion to report the news, revealing Lin Xiuyuan's whereabouts to Lin Hongyi.

Xu Shuhuai, the chess piece, eventually became the top priority in controlling Lin Xiuyuan's incriminating evidence.

Xu Qingqing didn't know what to think of this person for a while, he was not as loyal as Mu Zhao, and he did not turn against him at a critical moment......

After all, he is Lin Hongyi's old friend for more than ten years, and he has made such a contribution, if he doesn't give a few thin faces, it seems a little unreasonable.

"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that person can't be deeply acquainted, do you want to persuade Your Highness, don't be too entangled with him?" Zilu couldn't help but suggest.

She has never had a good impression of Xu Shuhuai.

In fact, Xu Qingqing is not like this, for so long, she has not figured out what Xu Shuhuai has done for what it is for.

If you really have a grudge against what happened back then, why do you want to help Lin Hongyi with such a big favor?

If you have bad intentions, why don't you take the opportunity to bring Lin Hongyi down in one fell swoop?

"Don't talk about this, I'll be in the capital tomorrow, so you can rest early." She glanced at the darkening night outside the carriage and said to Zilu.

At this time, it was only more than ten miles away from the capital, and Lin Hongyi promised to take her out of the bitter cold place as soon as possible, and he did it.

The next day, everyone returned to Prince Hong's mansion.

Lin Hongyi personally escorted Lin Xiuyuan into the palace, and before entering the palace, he told Mu Zhao to be optimistic about Prince Hong's mansion and asked him to ensure Xu Qingqing's safety.

The power behind Lin Xiuyuan cannot be underestimated, even Empress Li is with him, this time when she learns that Lin Xiuyuan has been captured, she will definitely be unable to hold back, and maybe she will make some moves......

The last time an assassin entered the mansion to assassinate Xu Qingqing, Lin Hongyi did not dare to take it lightly.

"Niangniang, do you say that after Lin Xiuyuan is escorted into the palace, will he be demoted to a concubine?" Zilu was curious.

Lin Xiuyuan committed the crime of forming a party for personal gain, if Xu Shuhuai hadn't deliberately used the matter of the Death Pavilion to lure him into action, he would not have taken the dead soldiers who had been raised privately out of the capital, let alone secretly mobilized troops behind the emperor's back to deal with the soldiers and horses in Lin Hongyi's fiefdom.

This is obviously to kill Lin Hongyi, brothers cannibalism, and they are so vicious.

For any one person, these sins are enough to be beheaded.

But Lin Xiuyuan is the prince and the candidate for the prince in the eyes of the emperor, and it is not so easy to pick off his head.

"I think at most I will only be fined for a few years, or a twenty or thirty board." Xu Qingqing shook her head.

"Why is that?" Zilu was puzzled, "He obviously wanted to take His Highness's life, if it weren't for His Highness's kindness, he would have been a dead man by now." Even if he is killed in Lucheng, there will never be a word from the government and the opposition. ”

"You think things too simply, Lin Xiuyuan's crime of raising dead soldiers is conclusive, and it is true that he tried to kill Lin Hongyi, but the emperor loves this eldest son the most, Lin Hongyi was named the prince early, and now only Lin Xiuyuan and Lin Huai'an are left as the two princes who have not been crowned kings, if Lin Xiuyuan is demoted to a concubine, will it be possible to set up a prince in the future to establish Lin Huai'an?" Xu Qingqing said.

Zilu scratched her head, she didn't think so far, she just felt that Lin Xiuyuan must be inescapable this time.

"If that's the case, your eighth prince is afraid that he will laugh off his big teeth." Xu Qingqing added.

Zilu was embarrassed: "Niangniang, the slave maid has not seen His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince for a long time......"

The implication is that she is now loyal to Xu Qingqing and has no second heart.
