The moment this thought arose, even Zhao Ling himself was frightened, he really felt that he had reached the point of hopelessness, otherwise, how could he have the idea of making himself have an accident in order to make a woman happy.

Just when Zhao Ling felt that he was making a fool, he suddenly heard a low sobbing sound coming from where Chu Xingyue was sitting.

She's crying?

Zhao Ling couldn't stand any longer, and quickly walked towards the chaise longue where Chu Xingyue was sitting, and then after approaching her, he saw tears rolling down from Chu Xingyue's eyes, and the pitiful appearance of tears not only frightened him, but also made him feel extremely distressed.

"Yue'er, what are you crying about? What's going on? ”

Hearing Zhao Ling's voice overhead, Chu Xingyue was startled, and raised her head to see that this guy had really appeared in front of him, and he was still covered in blood, and he didn't clean himself up at all.

"Y-Why did you come in with you?"

Looking at the little girl who was a little confused, Zhao Ling had the courage to sit beside Chu Xingyue, he knew that she hated him for being dirty at the moment, but he couldn't just watch her sit here and cry in order to clean himself up.

"This is my house, why can't I come in?"

As he spoke, Zhao Ling habitually stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on his face for Chu Xingyue, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw the blood stains on his fingers; When he was in Luofu, he didn't feel embarrassed, but now that he saw her sitting in front of him with a white and pure fragrance, he actually disliked himself a little.

Zhao Ling hurriedly withdrew his hand again, looking at Chu Xingyue who was crying, his heart hurt like something, since the two of them were together, he had never seen her cry like this; She has really buried a lot of grievances in her heart in recent days, otherwise she would not have cried into a poor tearful person.

"Yue'er, are you blaming me and blaming me in your heart, that's why you are so disappointed and sad?"

Chu Xingyue looked at the man who was not stupid, so she sniffed and said, "I know that you have been so busy recently because of your eldest brother, so I never complained to you about anything, and I understand that you are so homeless; However, when you finally came back, you were like this, have you ever thought about how scared I am to see you like this? If, in case something does happen to you......"

Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but have a sour nose again, in fact, she was not such a clingy and sensitive woman before, but she didn't know what's wrong, since she knew the news of her eldest brother's accident, she began to suffer from gains and losses, and even had some nervous nerves; She was worried that her eldest brother might leave her if she was not careful, and she was also afraid that Zhao Ling would not be able to rescue her eldest brother even if she tried her best.

As long as she thought that the person she cared about might have to leave her again, and let her suffer the pain of losing Yuan Feng in the first place, Chu Xingyue's whole body trembled with fear; Yuan Feng's eyes kept appearing in her mind before leaving, she knew that he was willing to pay for himself, but she couldn't bear his affection.

Especially when she knew that her eldest brother killed Zhou Yanran because of her, she felt that she was a scourge, otherwise, why would the people she loved and those who loved her be hurt again and again because of her.

Looking at Chu Xingyue's silent tears, Zhao Ling was really distressed, looking at himself who was full of dirt, he hesitated, took off his bloodstained brocade robe in front of Chu Xingyue, and then came to the copper basin on the side to clean his hands, and then came to Chu Xingyue's side, and encircled him from behind.

relieved, "It's all His Highness's negligence, I didn't take into account your feelings, Yue'er forgive me, okay?" ”

Chu Xingyue really didn't mean to blame Zhao Ling, she knew who he was running around for, if she complained about him again, wouldn't she be ignorant?

To tell the truth, she was just frightened by the way he looked tonight, standing in front of her covered in blood, and God knows that at that moment, she felt that her blood was almost frozen.

Now, seeing him holding himself affectionately, the resentment in Chu Xingyue's heart gradually disappeared, she turned around, also stretched out her hand to hug his waist, grouped herself into a small one, snuggled tightly in his arms, and asked for his promise: "Then you promise me, you can't scare people like this in the future, I really thought that something happened to you, and my frightened legs were weak." ”

Hearing that his beloved little girl cared about him so much, Zhao Ling's heart didn't mention how beautiful it was, even her presumptuous attitude towards herself just now was thrown out of the clouds by him, and he promised her in a gentle voice: "Okay, I won't scare you like this in the future, and when I appear in front of you, I will definitely clean myself up neatly and tidy, so that you don't see a little blood." ”

In fact, Chu Xingyue is not the kind of squeamish little girl, she just can't see her beloved hurt.

With Zhao Ling's promise, Chu Xingyue finally felt a little more comfortable, she withdrew from Zhao Ling's arms, and saw that his face was still stained with scabbed blood beads, so she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped it off virtuously, and said, "What happened?" Came back so late, and was it still this embarrassment? ”

Listening to Chu Xingyue's question, thinking of Luo Cheng, who was lying in a coma in Luo's Mansion at the moment, Zhao Ling told the truth: "It was Luo Cheng who was assassinated. ”

"What? Is Nalo-sama dead? ”

Chu Xingyue's heart was pinched, and Chu Xingyue still had a good impression of the Luo family; Especially Luo Qing, seeing that she was about to marry Lao Qi, she didn't expect that her biological father had an accident at this juncture, which should be a big blow and cruelty to a little girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet.

Zhao Ling comforted Chu Xingyue, who looked nervous, and said, "Don't worry, Luo Cheng is only seriously injured at the moment, although he doesn't know when he will wake up, but this life should be saved." ”

Chu Xingyue glanced at Zhao Ling, and blamed him in her heart for being panting for a long time, which made her think that the upright and talented Lord Luo had died at the hands of thieves like this.

It's just that who has the courage to kill the officials of the imperial court; And at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what is this not audacity?

Moreover, Why assassinate Luo Cheng? As far as she knows, the Luo family's reputation in the capital has always been very good, and they rarely have grudges with others, in such a situation, who still holds a grudge against Luo Cheng and can't put him to death?

Chu Xingyue is a person who is good at analysis, and after carefully connecting the events that happened during this period of time, she immediately thought of a possibility, looked at Zhao Ling in surprise, and said, "Could it be that Lord Luo's injury is related to my eldest brother's matter?" ”

Zhao Ling knew that with Chu Xingyue's intelligence, as long as he reminded him a little, he could guess the general situation of the matter, and sure enough, she did not live up to his expectations of her; The little girl is clever and clever, and with a little thought, she can think of many things together.

Zhao Ling hugged Chu Xingyue tightly, nodded, and said: "Yes, Luo Cheng's injury should be related to the eldest brother's killing of Zhou Yanran, I won't hide it from you Yue'er, before Luo Cheng was injured, Zhu Chengzuo, who was responsible for inspecting Zhou Yanran's body, was also drowned in the pond in an 'accident' way." ”

Chu Xingyue Huo Ran's eyes widened, she gasped and quickly covered her mouth, she didn't expect that it was just a few days in a hurry, how could so many things happen before and after, the people related to this case, one court official is still lying in bed unconscious, while the other is not so lucky, and he lost his life directly.

Chu Xingyue grabbed Zhao Ling's sleeve in fear and looked at him with wide eyes: "How can this be?" Why did such a terrible thing happen? Is someone trying to stop you? ”

Zhao Ling gently patted Chu Xingyue's back and comforted her: "If I guessed correctly, it is true that someone is organizing us to continue to investigate the murder of Zhou Yanran; Yue'er, Zhou Yanran's death is definitely strange, otherwise, why did our people have an accident one after another when we felt that there was something wrong with Zhou Yanran's cause of death. ”

"Does that mean that Zhou Yanran may not have been killed by her eldest brother?" Thinking of this possibility, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but be a little excited.

After all, the eldest brother is being imprisoned in the prison at the moment, and the crime is to kill the concubine, but if you find a way to prove that the cause of Zhou Yanran's death was not because of the eldest brother's action, but for other reasons, then the eldest brother will be released from the prison.

The crime of murderer will no longer be deducted from the head of the eldest brother.

Thinking that the eldest brother would be cleared of grievances, Chu Xingyue grabbed Zhao Ling's arm and shook it vigorously, and said, "I think that it must be that the person who really killed Zhou Yanran is unwilling to let you investigate the real cause of her death, and that person wants to let the eldest brother be his scapegoat, so he will stop you in every possible way; Zhao Ling, the more we can't give up at this time; Perhaps, taking this opportunity, we can not only rescue the eldest brother from the prison, but also catch the real murderer who killed Zhou Yanran. ”

Looking at Chu Xingyue, who was talking excitedly and her eyes were shining, Zhao Ling could understand her excitement at the moment; After all, Chu He is the son of the Marquis of Jingbei, and whether he has a life on his back and whether he is innocent is also very important; If it is really proved in the end that Chu He was really used as a scapegoat and wrongly imprisoned, then the wind outside will completely reverse.

At that time, no one will say that Chu He is a murderer, but will sympathize with him.

It's just that what really makes Zhao Ling interested in it right now is who wants to wronged the prince of Jingbei Houfu so much.

Chu He is the young marshal of the Qingzhou Black Armor Army, and he is also a rare general in the court, who has been guarding Qingzhou with his father for many years, and can be regarded as conscientious and conscientious, such an outstanding hero, who wants to frame him like this.

Moreover, he will be charged with a big crime of killing the concubine!
