Although he could run out over the wall when he left home, when he returned home, Jian Xiaozhu still walked through the front door. In order to keep the doorman's house secret, she also specially stuffed a piece of silver for the other party. As for whether this person would tell Zhang Tiande secretly, Jian Xiaozhu didn't care too much anymore. After all, the person had been saved, and she just had to go back to her room and get a good night's sleep.

It's just that before falling asleep, Jian Xiaozhu suddenly remembered the agreement with Murong Yi. However, the Empress Dowager was assassinated, and Murong Yi must have a lot of things to deal with, and he didn't care about going to the Qinghe River to meet him. Thinking of this, Jian Xiaozhu felt a little more at ease.

As for the Empress Dowager......

Jian Xiaozhu still hopes that this old woman will be fine. Those boards that almost killed her, Jian Xiaozhu has never forgotten. Moreover, this old woman also used her to deal with Bai Ningshuang, which can be said to be so vicious that she can't do it. Although when she was writing, Jian Xiaozhu wrote the Empress Dowager as the emotional assistance of Su Moxue and Murong You, and her impression of her was quite good.

Thinking about some messy things like this, Jian Xiaozhu fell asleep unconsciously. In the dream, Jian Xiaozhu dreamed that she was in Tiewa's house and was arrested with Zhu Yan. When death came, Zhu Yan drank the bottle of medicine that would make his body rot in order not to affect the white condensation cream. also asked Jian Xiaozhu if he wanted to drink with him, so as not to affect his family.

Jian Xiaozhu thought, anyway, it will be a death both horizontally and vertically, so don't involve the old and young people of the Zhang Mansion. So she took the bottle in Zhu Yan's hand, and just about to drink it, she was woken up from her dream by Caixiu.

When Jian Xiaozhu opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn outside. And Caixiu was beside her bedside and said to her, "Miss, get up quickly, the second young master wants to see you." ”

Jian Xiaozhu rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Second brother, what is he looking for me for?" ”

"It seems that King Ning is here and says he wants to see you."

As soon as she heard that it was Murong Yi, Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly got up, dressed up as fast as she could, and then ran to the living room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Zhang Shanqing and Murong Yi were already sitting inside, playing chess. Seeing Jian Xiaozhu, Zhang Shanqing got up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if it's done early, you guys talk first." ”

After Zhang Shanqing left, Murong Yi looked at Jian Xiaozhu and asked, "Yesterday, you didn't go to Qinghe, did you?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Murong Yi, only to feel that there were thick dark circles around his eyes, and he looked like her, he should not have slept well. So Jian Xiaozhu shook his head: "I saw that there was nothing to do upstairs in Wangjiang Tower, and I guessed that you must have something to deal with, so I didn't go over." ”

Hearing Jian Xiaozhu's words, Murong Yi nodded: "That's good." Indeed, yesterday when my grandmother was assassinated, I followed her side and escorted her back to the palace. ”

Jian Xiaozhu asked, "Is the Empress Dowager okay?" ”

Murong Yi sighed: "Although there is no worry about her life, but she is an old man, she was scratched by a sharp blade, and she was frightened, and it is estimated that she will have to cultivate for a long time before she can get better." ”

"That's it......" Jian Xiaozhu was a little disappointed in her heart, thinking that this Empress Dowager had a big fate. However, as the emperor's grandmother, she is surrounded by masters, and Zhu Yan's desire to assassinate her is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. On the surface, Jian Xiaozhu still said hypocritically: "It's okay if the Empress Dowager is fine." As for the assassins, have you caught them? ”

Murong Yi gritted his teeth: "I'll be angry when I mention this." Yesterday, Chen said that he had caught the Assassin, and we all ran to see who this Assassin was. As a result, we discovered that the captured Assassin turned out to be an officer and soldier who had been knocked unconscious by a real Assassin. The real Assassin stole a horse in full view of everyone, rode it to the riverbank, and swam away along the river. ”

Hearing Zhu Yan mention this, Jian Xiaozhu still felt a little scared in his heart. She had done such a risky thing yesterday, which she could not have imagined now in a house with a warm charcoal fire.

Noticing Jian Xiaozhu's distraction, Murong Yi asked, "Xiaozhuzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I just think that since the assassin escaped along the river, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be found." ”

"yes." Murong Yi frowned: "It stands to reason that if an assassin is poisoned like that, it is unlikely that he will escape." ”

Jian Xiaozhu asked knowingly, "What kind of poison did the assassin have?" ”

"Scatter your bones." Murong Yi said: "The shadows around the imperial grandmother are all top masters, not only strong in martial arts, but also skilled in the use of poison. So generally speaking, anyone who wants to attack the Imperial Grandmother will eventually be killed by the shadow around the Imperial Grandmother. Only this time, it was escaped by the other party. It seems that the shadow must have been fully prepared, and even caused Wangjianglou to walk into the water, so as to escape. ”

After listening to Murong Yi's words, Jian Xiaozhu asked again: "So, do you have any suspicions about this assassin?" ”

Murong Yi nodded: "Yes." It's confidential, though, and I can't say it to you. Sorry. ”

After that, Murong Yi smiled apologetically at Jian Xiaozhu, and Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't be sorry, I'm just curious to ask." ”

Murong Yi smiled: "Little bamboo, you seem to be quite concerned about this matter." ”

Although Murong Yi seemed to say it unintentionally, Jian Xiaozhu's whole person was shocked, thinking that she might not be acting too abnormally. Just thinking of Li Murong Yi's waste wood character, Jian Xiaozhu felt a little relieved, and said: "I'm just curious, after all, I was downstairs in Wangjiang Tower yesterday, and I saw something like that, how could I not be curious!" ”

Murong Yi nodded: "Indeed, curiosity is human nature. But ......" Murong Yi suddenly looked at Jian Xiaozhu: "But many times, too much curiosity is often fatal." ”

In an instant, Jian Xiaozhu seemed to see a shadow emerge from Murong Yi's eyes. It's just that soon, Murong Yi's eyes became as clear as usual again, making Jian Xiaozhu even think that at that moment, he was just an illusion.

At this time, Zhang Shanqing walked into the house early, and then said to Jian Xiaozhu with a smile: "You must be hungry, I asked the kitchen master to make fried dumplings and crystal buns." Ah Yi, you can eat with us too. ”

Murong Yi shook his head: "I have already eaten, and besides, I have to go to the palace to see the emperor." After all, the assassin hadn't been caught yet, and now people were panicking. ”

Zhang Shanqing asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Murong Yi nodded: "It's okay, I'm short of manpower over there, so I'm not polite to you." ”

Zhang Shanqing took a bite of the fried dumplings, and then asked: "Why is there a shortage of manpower, is the matter very tricky?" ”

Murong Yi replied: "It's not tricky. It's just that the assassins haven't been caught yet, so we decided to conduct a door-to-door investigation of the whole city, so we need a lot of manpower. ”

Hearing Murong Yi's words, the half crystal bag that Jian Xiaozhu was holding on his chopsticks fell on the table like that.
