"Go back to the prince." Lian Xiang thought about it, looked up at the guards around her, and said: "The slave's skirt is dirty, because it is a matter of the daughter's family, so she is ashamed to say it, so she came to fetch water in the middle of the night and prepared to go to the room to wash clothes." ”

Although Lianxiang was suspicious of Qin Ruoyun about tonight's incident, Lianxiang was not sure that it was Qin Ruoyun's hands and feet. In addition, Qin Ruoyun's skirt was dirty and not wanted to be known, so Lianxiang did not tell Qin Ruoyun about it.

This excuse didn't sound like a problem, but when Song Yuchen thought of Xiao Wu's look just now, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Forget it," Song Yuchen's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "The riverside is dangerous, don't come at night in the future." ”

"Yes."

When Song Yuchen heard this, he left with a few guards left. After tonight's events, Lianxiang was frightened, and hurriedly fetched water from a basin and left the river.

"That's not right." The more Song Yuchen thought about it, the more wrong it became, and when he walked into the courtyard, he saw the chief guard jumping down from upstairs: "Lord Wang." ”

"What about the two assassins?"

"The people of the palace caught them, and they committed suicide with a poisonous sac in their mouths." The head of the guard clenched his fists, quite helpless and guilty.

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Song Yuchen said lightly, and was about to leave, as if he remembered something: "Draw two smarter ones from the guards to protect the maid who was almost assassinated just now." ”

"Lord Wang, this ......" The chief guard didn't understand why he wanted to send guards to protect a maid, but since Song Yuchen spoke, he had to agree: "Yes." ”

"Let's go down." Song Yuchen said.

"Yes."

Almost instantly, only Song Yuchen was left in the courtyard of the Zhennan Wangfu of Nuoda. Song Yuchen didn't have the heart to visit the palace, and with the help of the moonlight as cold as water, he paced back to the study.

Song Yuchen stood in front of a window near the river, looking out, the river was dark. Today's events are really strange to think about.

After Qin Ruoyun left, she extinguished the lights in the room. Originally, she believed in the ability of the person the white shopkeeper was looking for. But when she heard the movement outside, she guessed that the killer's matter was probably exposed.

Even if the killer found by the white shopkeeper is not bad, the guards in the palace are not vegetarians. But if you go out at that time, won't it mean that you will admit everything?

So at the time of the incident, she kept the lights out and stayed in the Compassion Courtyard, thinking about how she would get the matter done if the killer was exposed.

Fortunately, there was a lot of trouble yesterday for a long time, and Song Yuchen didn't come to the Mercy House to find him. In this way, no matter what, those killers did not leak Qin Ruoyun's affairs.

I don't know how long it took for Qin Ruoyun to fall asleep. Early the next morning, when Qin Ruoyun pushed open the door of her room, she saw Lian Xiang and Xiao Wu who were guarding outside.

The moment Qin Ruoyun saw the lotus incense, her expression was slightly flustered, but she returned to her usual calm in a moment.

"Lotus incense." Qin Ruoyun smiled slightly awkwardly at Lian Xiang: "Did you wash my dress yesterday?" ”

"Washed." Lian Xiang said, raised her head and said to Qin Ruoyun: "Concubine Yun, do you know that ...... yesterday" Lian Xiang said, her words paused intentionally, and looked at Qin Ruoyun's eyes full of inquiry: "Yesterday the palace entered the assassins, and I almost died in the hands of those two people?" ”

"Huh?" Qin Ruoyun heard this, and looked at Lianxiang in surprise: "There is such a thing? Saying that, Qin Ruoyun pulled the lotus incense: "I'll take a look, I'll see if you're injured." ”

"Concubine Yun." Lianxiang withdrew her hand with some stinginess: "I'm fine." ”

Qin Ruoyun's inquiring eyes kept looking at Lianxiang.

"I encountered an assassin last night, but fortunately, the prince passed by and saved me." Lian Xiang said: "The slave maid and Xiao Wu have agreed that Xiao Wu will take turns today. Tomorrow, the slave and maid will come to serve Concubine Yun again, and go back to the room to rest first. With that, Lianxiang saluted Qin Ruoyun and withdrew from the Compassion Courtyard.

"Concubine Yun." Xiao Wu looked at Qin Ruoyun with ignorant eyes: "Don't worry, presumably Lianxiang was frightened because of what happened last night, so she didn't say anything." ”

"Hey." Qin Ruoyun sighed and shook her head: "It's all my fault, it was so late last night, but I still let her go to the river, if something happens, I won't forgive myself." ”

Xiao Wu didn't say anything about it, and smiled faintly: "Concubine Yun, Lianxiang is fine, presumably just rest and rest." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wu bowed to Qin Ruoyun and saluted, "You haven't had breakfast yet." The slave will go and bring you breakfast. ”

"Hmm." Qin Ruoyun nodded, and watched Xiao Wu leave.

Originally, she thought that Lianxiang was dead. Looking at Lianxiang's attitude in the morning, she seemed to be suspicious of her.

That's even more unbearable.

Qin Ruoyun sat in the Compassion Courtyard, read the book for a while, thinking about such a plan to deal with Lianxiang again, Xiao Wu took the breakfast back.

Qin Ruoyun was eating breakfast, and she couldn't help but see Xiao Wu kneeling on the ground: "Concubine Yun, Xiao Wu has something to ask for." ”

Qin Ruoyun turned her head to look at Xiao Wu and paused: "You say." ”

"Concubine Yun." Xiao Wu thought about it, plucked up the courage and said: "Count it up, the slave maid has been in the Mercy Courtyard for some days, presumably Concubine Yun can also see the slave maid's loyalty to you." ”

"Hmm." Qin Ruoyun nodded: "So in terms of food and clothing, you are the best among the maids in the palace." You have been good to me, and I will not do you any wrong. ”

"But." Xiao Wu shared his worries one by one: "The slave maid is very worried about my mother, she is not in good health, and when she is free, the slave and maid are by her side personally." ”

"Now that she has a new residence, she never sees the slave, who is worried that she is not used to living and wants to see her."

"How?" Hearing this, Qin Ruoyun was a little unhappy, so she didn't care about eating breakfast, and put the spoon of porridge aside: "Having said so much, are you worried that I will treat your mother harshly?" ”

"That's not what slave means." Xiao Wu immediately knelt down and said, "The slave just misses her mother and wants to see her." ”

Qin Ruoyun picked up the spoon again unhurriedly, scooped some porridge and put it in her mouth, as if she was thinking about something: "I've been a little sleepy in the past two days, and it's not convenient to go to the east of the city, let's go to the east of the city in two days." ”

To be honest, Qin Ruoyun just asked those subordinates to take care of Qin Ruoyun and her mother, as for whether her mother was doing well, Qin Ruoyun didn't know the bottom in her heart.

"Concubine Yun." After last night's incident, Xiao Wu couldn't send a letter to Qin Ruoyun, so he mustered up the courage to say: "Xiao Wu has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. Now the younger five are old, but my mother is old. Xiao Wu can't always serve by his mother's side, and he already feels very guilty. ”

"Xiao Wu can trust Concubine Yun. But the mother-daughter relationship is deep, and you must always take a look, so that you can feel at ease as a daughter. ”
