Chu Xingyue returned to the Changlong Inn angrily all the way, and the figure of the woman who walked out of the light gauze sedan chair was played over and over again in her mind, as if it was engraved in her heart, so that she couldn't forget it no matter how much she wanted to.

Yuan Feng ran in from outside, looked at Chu Xingyue, who was sitting silently on the edge of the bed with an angry expression, and stepped forward hesitantly, "Young master, maybe there is any misunderstanding here. ”

"What else can I misunderstand, although I haven't been married to Zhao Ling for a long time, but I don't know what kind of character he is? That bastard has always been arrogant, if he didn't like someone else, how could he bring such a delicate little beauty with him? ”

Saying that, Chu Xingyue wanted to shed tears aggrievedly, tugged at her sleeve fiercely, and continued: "I have worked hard for him in Jeju City, and I have been born and died for him several times; But what did he do to me? As soon as I left him, he went to find another woman, and his friendship with me was so deep. ”

Yuan Feng was also a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ling's behavior of taking a woman with him, especially after hearing the discussion of the people in the city, he was in a bad mood.

But at this time, he could only try his best to persuade Chu Xingyue, and she must not provoke her to continue to be angry, "Young Master, is His Royal Highness King Ling a person with deep affection and righteousness, you know better than your subordinates, if he is a young man, with your wisdom and wisdom, how could he not find out earlier?" If you want your subordinates to say, there must be other reasons for this. The young master is now angry and angry, and it seems to his subordinates that it is a little premature, why don't we find an opportunity to meet the prince, and ask him what is going on; At that time, if you want to be angry again, young master, and your subordinates won't stop you, how about it? ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Yuan Feng, who was coaxing her softly, with a slightly nasal voice, "I don't want to see him, I don't want to do it at all now." ”

"Young Master ......"

"You don't have to persuade me, Yuan Feng, you know that what you said makes sense, but even if that woman is not Zhao Ling's person now, in Zhao Ling's heart, she must have some weight, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken her with him. My Chu Xingyue's character is like this, there must be no third party in the emotional world, if it appears, I will not compromise and will definitely end this relationship in my own way. ”

"What does the young master mean that you want to end up with King Ling? Don't forget, the reason why we stay in Jeju City now and don't leave for a long time is because the young master has to wait for the prince; Now that it's finally time to wait, you don't even ask the question in front of you clearly, and then you want to leave in a daze? Young master, my subordinates ask you, are you willing to leave like this? One day in the future, when you think about it, will you regret it? ”

Chu Xingyue was asked by Yuan Feng's words.

Yes, she just saw her sincerity clearly so she was willing to stay and wait for Zhao Ling, she knew that he liked her, and she obviously had him in her heart, since the two were happy, she wanted to give the two of them a chance, a chance to grow old together.

Thinking that in the past few days of waiting for him, she has almost always been thinking about him and falling asleep at night, and the first thing she thinks of when she wakes up every morning is whether she can see him today. Obviously missing him so urgently, how could she really say that she would let it go.

However, the scene she had just seen was too poignant for her, and in the past few days, she had imagined the countless possible scenes when they were reunited, but she never imagined that he would appear in her field of vision with a woman by her side.

So, she was angry, she was disappointed, and more importantly, she couldn't accept it and was heartbroken; As Yuan Feng said, if she really left like this, will she regret it one day in the future?

Perhaps, yes.

At the very least, she should have fought for a clear answer for herself, and listened to him tell her who that woman really was; Instead of relying on his own conjecture, he guessed the relationship between the two of them out of context.

Chu Xingyue blinked her eyes overflowing with tears, and looked at Yuan Feng, who had been looking at her with worried eyes, "Okay, I'll listen to you, ask Zhao Ling to ask for clarification in person, and then make a decision." ”

Looking at Chu Xingyue's eyes shining with tears, Yuan Feng's tense heart finally relaxed.

However, while relieving himself, he found that his heart was empty, and even a little faint frustration and melancholy.

He couldn't tell where his feelings came from, he only knew that seeing Chu Xingyue crying for Zhao Ling, his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't even laugh.

The three people who came back closely behind Chu Xingyue stood at the door in unison, watching the scene of Yuan Feng comforting Chu Xingyue in the room.

Xiao Ruiyuan saw that the young master stopped crying, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice: "It's still the master who has a way to appease the young master so quickly." ”

"Yes, your young master is not crying now, but your master is going to feel uncomfortable."

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Ruiyuan turned his head and looked at the peach blossom eyes beside him.

Peach Blossom Eye looked at Yuan Feng with one hand on his chin, and his eyes showed insight into everything, "What the master means is that the master has discovered an amazing secret, but unfortunately, this secret is too deeply hidden, and even the party with the secret has not found it." ”

Xiao Ruiyuan really felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand what this demonic man said, and just as he wanted to continue asking, he heard Hu Chong take the words of Peach Blossom Eyes and added a step: "I also found out, secret." ”

Peach Blossom looked at Hu Chong in surprise, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I can't see it, little butterfly, I haven't been mixed with the master for so many years, haven't you?" Can you even find some way between men and women? ”

Hu Chong was too lazy to take care of the peach blossom eyes, so he left with a blank look and walked towards his guest room.

Seeing that there was nothing to see here, Peach Blossom hurriedly caught up with Hu Chong and hugged his neck from behind, almost hanging the whole person on his body, and kept saying: "The master thought you were a bitter person before, but it turns out that there are people who are more stupid than you; Sure enough, it's not good that a beauty is too good at seducing souls, it's simply your killer feature. ”

"Yes, it's not good for a beauty to hook her soul, we men will lose their souls when they see her, and as for you women, you will only say things that don't work on the side."

"Hey, stinky butterfly, what did you just say? You dare to say that the master is a woman?! ”

The peach blossom eyes that were provoked by Hu Chong angrily patted Hu Chong's shoulder, "Is it the master's fault that the little master is beautiful?" My grandfather is as beautiful as a flower, what can I do? The master was born with such a face, do you think the master doesn't want to be as masculine as you. ”

Hu Chong carried the injustice behind him, and listened helplessly to the broken thoughts in his ears.

If he knew that this guy was so good at nagging people now, he should have let Yuan Feng destroy this guy, so as not to let him survive and torture himself alive.

Li Fuzhong

Zhao Ling stood in the study, looked at the last place where Li Yuan stayed before his death, and listened to the report of Yunxiao behind him: "After being inquired by his subordinates, Li Yuan has been an official in Jeju City for several years, and the people do not have a high opinion of him. Although all the people who know Li Yuan have a lot of criticism of him, there is one thing that people have to be convinced, that is, this person has a lot of ability and skill. It's a pity that his abilities were used to do things to harm people, so he didn't do anything good until he died. ”

"If he didn't have the ability, how could he have been in Jeju City for so many years. Although his official position in the prefect's mansion is not big, in this place, he is equivalent to the existence of the emperor of the soil, and he wants the wind and the rain to get the rain, I am afraid that even his father and the emperor will not be as happy as him. ”

"But no, Jeju City was devastated by the disaster, and the people in the city were miserable, and Li Yuan, as a local parent official, did not think about the well-being of the people, and he even joined forces with local businessmen to deliberately raise the price of grain, and looted the people's fat and ointment for huge profits, which is simply outrageous; It can be seen that he is a person who can do anything crazy for money. ”

Zhao Ling also agreed with Yunxiao's evaluation of Li Yuan, but after a turn of thought, he thought of Li Yuan's cause of death again.

"Although Li Yuan is a damn one, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and even if he dies, he will die under the sword of the law of the Great Wei, not just be assassinated in this way; This king has already asked the messenger to quickly whip the court to inform the court of Li Yuan's death, and I believe that news will come from the capital in the near future; At present, what makes this king strange is that who is so bold that he dares to ignore the laws of our court, sneak into the homes of officials, and directly slaughter the officials of the imperial court. ”

"The subordinate asked the post-mortem worker, and the post-mortem was quite capable, and after his autopsy, it was concluded that the cause of Li Yuan's death was caused by the brain spinal cord being sucked dry; That's why he died so weirdly and tragically. ”

"The brain spinal is sucked dry?"

Zhao Ling repeated Yunxiao's words in a low voice while turning the jade wrench finger worn on his thumb, "It's really ruthless, there are thousands of ways to kill people, who would choose such cruel methods?" Yunxiao, you are well-informed, do you know what kind of method you need to use to make a person's brain marrow disappear? ”

Yunxiao has also been thinking about this question, and now when he heard the prince ask, he immediately replied, "My subordinates have thought about it many times, and I only thought of a way to make a living person lose his brains for no reason. ”

"What's the solution?"

Yunxiao said, "Use poisonous insects." ”

"Poisonous insects?" Zhao Ling paused for a moment.

"Yes, it is a poisonous insect, the human brain marrow is protected by a few hard bones on the skull, and the only way to get the brain marrow out is to open the skull; But Li Yuan doesn't even have a little scar on his body, so how can he talk about a skull? In that case, how did he not have a brain pulp? The only explanation is that some living creature burrowed through his nose or ear holes, crawled into the brain along the structure of the skull, and then sucked the brain marrow out of it little by little; And often this kind of living creatures are generally poisonous and poisonous insects. ”
