CHAPTER XXXVIII
Zhong Li Yi stretched his waist and was busy all morning, and finally could rest for a while, Zhong Li Yi was talented and intelligent, and he overfulfilled Ning Ling's task, Ning Ling adhered to the principle of being too late, or let Zhong Li Yi go to rest in the afternoon.
When he was idle, he couldn't find anything to do, Zhongli also remembered that the hookah should have woken up at this time, so he planned to go to see her, and pulled Ning Ling and rushed over.
At this time, the hookah sat on the bed with a pale face, the girl was adding tea to the side of the round table, the hookah saw Zhong Li Yi and Ning Ling coming, and hurriedly wanted to get up, Zhong Li also pulled Ning Ling to walk a few steps faster, and immediately held her down, and said: "Sister hookah, don't move around as a patient, if you bump on that place on your body, I will die of distress."
"You girl, you'll pick up some nice ones to coax me." After the hookah finished speaking, he coughed a few times, covered his mouth lightly with a handkerchief, a few traces of red appeared on his pale face, tears were dotted, he was slightly panting, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be frowning slightly, sick like a west, adding a little blur.
Zhongli was also a little stunned, and said, "Sister, why are you more beautiful when you are sick, you are not the same as if you are good-looking."
Ning Ling glanced at Zhong Liyi and said, "There are not a few good words in her mouth, the girl's family is like a hooligan."
"Hey, I'm appreciating beauty, people like you don't understand it." Zhongli also pushed back.
The hookah looked at the two of them with a smile, Ning Ling turned to look at the hookah, and asked solemnly, "Did you see who attacked you clearly today?"
"Well, I don't know, the man was masked, I couldn't see his face, and my head was so dizzy that I could barely see the surroundings, and he pushed me hard, and I crashed into the dresser." Shisha said contemplatively.
Ning Ling nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "Then did you meet some strange people today?"
Shisha shook his head and said, "There are no strange people, the people I met today are all from the building."
Zhongli also listened on the sidelines, bowed his head, and said to the hookah: "Sister hookah, you tell us all about getting up this morning, clearly, don't miss a little detail."
The hookah nodded and said, "I got up this morning, and the girl came in to clean up, and then I went to help my mother do some favors, and then I went back to the house, I felt dizzy, and I wanted to sleep."
"Wait a minute, you're feeling dizzy? What did you drink or eat this morning? Ning Ling asked directly.
"Oh, when you say that, I remember, someone handed me a pot of tea, and I was very thirsty, so I took it and drank it."
Hearing this, Ning Ling and Zhong Li also glanced at each other, and asked at the same time, "Who is the person who handed you water?"
"It's Cangshan, the person Ning Gongzi asked me last time." Hookah back.
Ning Ling raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, and glanced at Zhong Li, Zhong Li also looked up, his mind suddenly cleared, and said: "Sister hookah, I'm afraid that this Cangshan has some cats behind it."
"Probably not, he's very honest." Shisha said with some hesitation.
"We'll find out if we'll experiment with it." Zhongli smiled at the hookah.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Shisha said hesitantly.
In the evening, the Oiran Contest was held as scheduled, and the bustard finally breathed a sigh of relief, there were many guests who came tonight, including many nobles, and the bustard knocked on the people below, telling them to be careful one by one.
Ning Ling was sitting under the stage at this time, leisurely drinking tea and looking at the people who came in, among them there were many big people, familiar faces, this Fengyue Building really deserves to be the best of the flower buildings, and the background is still quite hard.
One of the men glanced at Ning Ling lightly, Ning Ling looked back at him suspiciously, and always felt that his face was a little familiar, about thirty years old, brocade clothes, black flowing pattern dark gold clothes, his face was resolute, although his momentum was somewhat restrained, but he still had a pressure of a superior person.
The performance on the stage has begun, the girls' performances are very exciting, the people in the audience are constantly coaxing, because the hookah is very famous in this Fengyue Building, and there are people shouting her name below, which is very lively.
The old bustard came to the stage and said to everyone: "Don't worry, please be patient, today's show will not disappoint you."
The guests were a little quieter and waited patiently.
Zhong Li also secretly looked at the hall at this time, and saw the man in black, his expression was white, Ning Ling also skimmed her at this time, and walked towards her, Zhong Li also hurriedly pulled him to the second floor wing.
"Didn't you go to prepare? The hookah show is coming soon. Ning Ling said.
"I just saw someone." Zhong Liyi's face was very bad at this time, and he looked a little flustered.
Ning Ling felt very strange, he had been with Zhong Li for so many days, and he had never seen her have such a face. So he asked, "Who is it?"
"Zhong Luolei, that is, the current regent, the most powerful person in the country, is also Zhong Xinyu's father, my uncle." Zhongli also buckled his head, and said with some irritation: "Why did he come here, don't you know that I am here, if I am caught by him, I may not have many good days." But it can't be, how could he come to me specifically. “
Ning Ling's head remembered the man's face just now, no wonder he was a little familiar, he was a little similar to Zhong Li, looked at Zhong Li calmly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, the soldiers will cover the water, I won't let you be arrested." Ning Ling pressed Zhong Liyi's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
Zhong Li also settled down a little, and said: "Forget it, what should I do or what to do, wait a while I will replace the hookah on the stage, continue our plan, this time the murderer is Cangshan, as long as I win the Oiran, he will definitely think that I am a hookah, and want to come to harm me, first arrest him and then talk about it, as for Zhong Luolei, let's talk about it when the time comes."
Ning Ling nodded at her and left the room to her to prepare.
