Chapter 393: Draw the Line

"I don't have anything to do with the king now, what's the matter if I keep his people around, let's go." Lin Mumu said as she took out a stack of silver tickets from her body and put them on the table. "That's all I have to say, thank you for helping me."

Xiao Jia looked at the silver ticket on the table, and his eyes, which had never had any emotion, showed a complicated look.

"What? Too little? Seeing that Xiao Jia didn't move, Lin Mumu raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Jia lowered his head and said: "Protecting Miss is what subordinates should do. ”

Lin Mumu turned around and stopped looking at him. "It's up to you, it's not too early, you can go back and maybe you can sleep a whole night."

Xiao Jia slowly stood up and glanced at Lin Mumu's back before flying away from the window.

A moment later, Xiao Jia and the others appeared in the Imperial Palace.

"Lord Wang, Xiaojia, they're back."

Zhao Xuanling's eyelids lifted. "Let him come to the king."

"Yes."

Xiao Jia soon arrived in the study.

"See the prince."

"She asked you to come back?" If they hadn't been summoned by themselves on weekdays, Xiao Jia would not have appeared in the Imperial Palace.

"Yes."

Zhao Xuanling's eyes narrowed. "What did she say?"

Xiao Jia told Zhao Xuanling what Lin Mumu told him as it was.

As soon as Xiao Jia finished speaking, he clearly felt that the aura in the study had changed.

After a while, I heard Zhao Xuanling snort coldly. "She really wants to draw a line with this king!"

Xiao Jia felt that the air in the study was about to freeze, and he put his breathing to the lightest to lighten his presence.

After a while, I heard Zhao Xuanling say: "Mingyang, bring their Yu cards." ”

Xiao Jia was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Xuanling in astonishment.

Soon, Mingyang took a few Yu cards.

Zhao Xuanling put Yu Pai on the table and looked at Xiao Jia and the others.

"Take the Yu card, and you will no longer be from my royal palace in the future."

The secret guards of the Imperial Palace's hands all have a Yu card in their hands, which is a symbol of their identity, and now Zhao Xuanling gives them the Yu card, which is to remove them from the secret guard team of the Imperial Palace.

Xiao Jia and the others looked at Yu Pai for some reason, but they exhaled in their hearts.

In fact, it seems that they have become accustomed to following Lin Mumu to protect them during this time, and they are used to Lin Mumu's teasing and pranks on them from time to time, it seems that this makes them feel that they are actually a normal person, not just a secret guard who has no emotion and can't see the light.

Xiao Jia and the others took the Yu card and kowtowed to Zhao Xuanling. "Thank you, Lord Wang, my subordinates and others will definitely do their best to protect Miss Lin."

Holding the Yu card, Xiao Jia and the others returned to Lin Mumu's mansion overnight.

When Lin Mumu heard the movement at night and looked at the people kneeling in the room, he couldn't tell what it was like.

Xiao Jia and they came back, why did they come back, she thought it should be related to Zhao Xuanling.

"The eldest lady asked us who we were before, and the subordinates couldn't answer the eldest lady at that time, and now the subordinates and others can tell the eldest lady that the subordinates and others are the eldest lady's people, and they will only be loyal to the eldest lady in this life, and ask the eldest lady to leave us behind."

"Miss, please, leave us behind."

Lin Mumu watched the corners of their lips raise a faint arc. "In that case, then you can stay."

"Thank you, Miss."

"Now I have two more things for you to do." Lin Mumu stood in front of them with her hands in her hands, and the moonlight shining in from the window only faintly sprinkled on her white dress in the dark, and no one could see her dark eyes with a cold light hidden in the dark night.

"I want to know all the information about Xie Zhenyuan, the third son of the Zhenguo Mansion, and his daughter within three days, and besides, except for Xiao Jia who is always with me, you will send people to protect the safety of Qiaoqiao and the others."

"Subordinates receive orders."

Next, during the three days of waiting for Xiao Jia and others to investigate the news, Lin Mumu soaked in his pharmacy, and never left even to eat and sleep.

On the night of the third day, Xiao Jia handed Lin Mumu all the news he found.

Xiao Jia and the others have been in the secret guard of the Royal Palace for many years, and they were selected by Zhao Xuanling to follow Lin Mumu because they were excellent in all aspects, and they still have a lot of contacts behind the secret guard intelligence network, and it is not difficult to check something.

Lin Mumu looked at the news she had found.

The information left by Xie Xinru's father and daughter in Xijing over the years is really good, and they have not had anything to do before, so they have not attracted the attention of the Royal Palace.

From the news inquired, it can be known that Xie Xinru's father and daughter will return to Xijing once a year, and each time they come back, they will not stay for more than half a month, and when they leave, they will pull a cart full of medicinal herbs and leave, combined with the tricks she used when she fought against Xie Xinru in the ice room, you can guess that she should be a person who can use poison.

The father and daughter didn't find anything before the information, but their every move in the past few days was detected by Xiao Jia.

Lin Mumu looked down all the way and paused when he saw a certain point.

"Xie Xinru goes to the most famous Tingqu building in Xijing City every day to watch the puppet show?" 53 Chinese Net

"Yes." Xiao Jia nodded and said, Xiao Jia also felt a little strange when he found this, Xie Xinru seemed to like the puppet show very much, not only would she go to watch it for an hour every day, but she would also reward the actors she thought she had acted well after watching it, and she would also let those actors tell them how to act.

During the time Xie Xinru came back, except for going out of the house every day to watch the puppet show, she stayed in Xie Mansion almost the rest of the time.

Lin Mumu threw the news into the water boiler on the side, and the fire in the stove suddenly flared up, illuminating Lin Mumu's side face that was dyed with cold and evil breath.

"Let's start here."

Xiao Jia raised his eyes in confusion. "What does the eldest lady want to do?"

Lin Mumu closed her eyes and tapped on the coffee table. "Of course it takes her life, you listen to me carefully now."

"Yes."

When Lin Mumu asked him to check on Xie Xinru's father and daughter, he vaguely guessed that Shuangshuang's death was likely to be related to the father and daughter, and now after listening to Lin Mumu tell him about his plan, Xiao Jia affirmed his thoughts.

"Go on as I say, and be careful."

"Yes, subordinates know what to do."

"Hmm."

……

Although Xie Xinru has been detoxified, her body has not fully recovered, but even so, she still goes to Tingqulou every day to watch the puppet show.

After having breakfast in the Xie Mansion in the morning, Lingmaru asked people to prepare a carriage.

"Miss, the slave maid heard that there is a new play prepared in the Tingqu Building, and Miss will definitely like it after watching it."

Xie Xinru sat up straight with interest. "What's new?"

"The people in the theater didn't say it, they just said that the young lady would definitely like it after watching it."

"Then I'm going to see what kind of drama can win my heart."

The carriage passed through the bustling streets to the front of the Listening Tower.

The puppet show has a history of hundreds of years in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are many theaters where the folk play puppet shows, and the Tingqu Lou is one of the leaders, after years of development, the Tingqu Lou has evolved into the exclusive theater of the nobles of the family, and the people who can watch the play here are either rich or expensive.

When Xie Xinru arrived at the Tingqu Building, the master of the performance had already begun to prepare backstage.

Xie Xinru came to the place where she usually sat and sat down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly brought pastries and tea.

"Little Er, I heard that today's performance is a new play." Xie Xinru peeled a peanut and threw it into her mouth, and then looked at the shopkeeper.

"Yes, Miss Xie, what our master said, this new play is ingenious, everyone will definitely like it after watching it."

"So what are you waiting for, don't start yet." Xie Xinru can't wait.

"Miss Xie, wait a minute, the masters will be ready soon."

The auditorium was filled with spectators one after another, and soon, the door of the auditorium was closed, and all the light was concentrated on the stage.

The "sonorous" gongs and drums sounded, and the play began.

Xie Xinru looked at the stage intently, and suddenly, a black puppet dressed in white flew down from the sky to the stage.

"I am a fairy of the Nine Heavens, and now I have been born in an ordinary people's house." A voice pinching her throat sounded, and then there was a "boom" on the stage, and the woman in white became a baby waiting to be fed.

This play tells the story of a fairy who has gone down to earth and falls in love with a human man, and it is still a touching love story all the way to the time when the protagonist gets married.

Xie Xinru was not interested in the two when they were about to get married, but when Xie Xinru was about to lose interest, the plot on the stage suddenly changed, and the male protagonist was killed by the enemy on the wedding night!

The other viewers all showed regretful and sad expressions when they saw this, but only Xie Xinru sat up straight with excitement.

The later plot surprised the spectators present, the original weak bride avenged her husband and the calamity ended, and the memory of the fairy family was restored.

Originally, this was just an elevated calamity for her, but she missed the palace in her heart, so she used a spell to inject the soul of her deceased husband into a puppet, and she would be with the puppet day and night in the days to come.

This is the end of the play.

The spectators on the viewing platform, who were originally moved, felt a chill on their backs when they watched the heroine holding the puppet infused with the soul of her deceased husband.

But Xie Xinru looked at the little puppet who was held in the arms of the heroine with an excited face.

"What a show!"

The spectators who were about to leave the stands heard Xie Xinru say this, and they all looked at her with strange eyes.

When the spectators in the stands were gone, Xie Xinru was still reluctant to sit in her position and was reluctant to leave.

"Miss, it's over." The masters who watched the performance had already packed up their things and left, so they went to Xie Xinru's side to remind them.

Xie Xinru came back to her senses and stood up a little reluctantly. "How did this scene end so quickly?"

Just as Xie Xinru was about to leave, the curtain that had been closed was suddenly opened.

Xie Xinru paused and looked straight at the stage.

Suddenly, there was a movement on the stage, and a shadow slowly floated up from under the stage.

Xie Xinru's eyes widened and she saw that it was the puppet that had been injected with the soul of the male protagonist that floated up!
