Chapter 260: Calm After the Fact
Jiang Zuiyao took the national seal and went on the way to see Chirong.
Along the way, her heart was full of apprehension.
The reason why she made such a decision was not because she betrayed the Imperial City Division, but because the appearance of this person at this moment was suspicious.
That is Shao Ziqing's residence, it must be the most solemn place in the entire palace, even if others are not there at the moment, it is difficult for others not to be found to enter freely, even if the dead person is lucky not to be discovered, but how can such a thing as the national seal be easily obtained?
At least, Shao Ziqing would put him in an extremely secret place, how could it be so easy for people to steal it?
So at that moment, Jiang Zuiyao made such a decision.
It's just that everything is based on Jiang Zuiyao's conjecture, after all, he killed someone with his own hands, how could a person who had never killed anyone not be apprehensive in his heart.
Jiang Zuiyao entered the house and found that Shao Ziqing had woken up, and the fever had not subsided, but he still sat up stiffly, and Chirong was feeding him water.
Looking at Chi Rong's slightly rapid breathing, the kind of appearance that he wanted to cover up very much was fully seen by Jiang Zuiyao, and Jiang Zuiyao immediately guessed that Chi Rong must have gone out, and he came back in a hurry, not wanting her to notice anything.
At this point, Jiang Zuiyao put the things in his arms on the table next to him and said, "Someone wants to steal the national seal." ”
It couldn't be shorter, but it was enough to move Shao Ziqing and Chi Rong.
At this moment, Shao Ziqing was weak and didn't say anything, Chi Rong put down the water cup in his hand and asked, "Where did Madam get it?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao replied without lying: "Shao Ziqing's illness is strange, I wanted to go to his palace to find out the clues, but I happened to see someone stealing the national seal and trying to escape." ”
"Who's that man?" , Chi Rong immediately asked, asking without thinking.
"I don't know either, it's a subordinate who went to Yanguo with us, and the person has been killed by me, and he is lying in the courtyard of Shao Ziqing's bedroom." , Jiang Zuiyao replied calmly, and she didn't lie about every sentence.
"Ahem...... Ahem, cough ......", Shao Ziqing coughed on his chest, didn't ask anything, only said: "Chirong, put things away." ”
Chirong responded, opened the black cloth and took a look, and saw that it was indeed the national seal, so he rewrapped it and left.
In the room, there were only two people left, Shao Ziqing and Jiang Zuiyao.
Jiang Zuiyao had an insight into Shao Ziqing's face, and there was no expression on that pale face, so that she couldn't see anything.
The more this is the case, the more suspicious it becomes.
But since Shao Ziqing didn't say anything, Jiang Zuiyao didn't ask anything, opened the cabinet and took out a plate of pills, handed it to Shao Ziqing, and said, "Two pills at a time, take a stick of incense with water every morning and dinner." ”
Today's Shao Ziqing, in the face of these pills he has never seen before, is no longer surprised, and replied lightly: "Put it on the table." ”
Jiang Zuiyao put down the pills, walked over and touched Shao Ziqing's forehead, which was still hot, and said, "Now that your fever is going to go away, you have to rest more." ”
glanced at the hanging bottle, there was no medicine, Jiang Zuiyao stopped the drip, and pulled out the needle for Shao Ziqing.
It seems that everything is operating normally, but Jiang Zuiyao's heart has questions, why did he suddenly wake up when he burned to thirty-eight degrees and five, and he was drowsy? Moreover, he woke up when the national seal was lost.
When pulling out the needle, Jiang Zuiyao touched Shao Ziqing's pulse, although she was not from traditional Chinese medicine, but she knew some fur, judging from the pulse, at least she could know that he woke up from a coma, which couldn't help but make Jiang Zuiyao think of Chirong.
Jiang Zuiyao knew it in her heart, but she didn't say a word, only said: "Press it, don't bleed." ”
It was not the first time Shao Ziqing had pricked the needle, raised his hand and pressed the cotton core on the back of his hand, and said, "I'm hungry." ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded: "I'll go out and buy you something to eat." ”
"Let your subordinates go, you go by yourself, it's not safe." , Shao Ziqing replied lightly, and when the words fell, he couldn't help coughing a few times.
Jiang Zuiyao answered and went out.
Out of the door, Jiang Zuiyao dared to take off her pretending to be calm, took a big breath, and exhaled heavily.
Fortunately, she had a heart and killed that person, otherwise if she let that person go, I was afraid that at this moment, not only would the national seal not be stolen by that person, but she would also be exposed.
According to Shao Ziqing's temper, she will not be allowed to have a good time.
Luckily, fortunately!
Jiang Zuiyao's heart has always been afraid, until she walked out a long way, and she was still thinking about this matter in her heart.
Touching his hair, the place where the hairpin was originally inserted fell into the air, kneading the hair, Jiang Zuiyao swallowed and spat again.
A person, who has no grievances or hatred with her, has nothing to do with her, but she killed him.
This is her first time, and she knows that she is unreasonable, but she is also helpless.
If she didn't kill him at that time and let him go, then her life by Shao Ziqing's side would be sad in the future, and Shao Ziqing would not be able to deal with her, and her mission would have failed.
The hideous appearance of the man before his death echoed in Jiang Zuiyao's mind over and over again, and this kind of torture with a strong sense of guilt made her very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Chi Rong returned to the room, hurried back, inevitably breathing unsteadily, stood beside Shao Ziqing and said, "Young master, the things are put away." ”
Shao Ziqing's brain was heavy, but he was still sober, and asked, "Are you sure you hid it?" ”
Chi Rong nodded: "According to the young master's original instructions, hide it, and no one will find out about that place." is still a smart young master, and the unpredictable prophet guessed that someone would peep into the national seal and did this game. ”
Shao Ziqing replied lightly: "That's the national seal of Qingguo, the entire country caused a lot of trouble for it a while ago, and now that it falls into my hands, there must be people who can't bear it, but I never expected that it was our own people, didn't you say that you have checked the background of those people?" Why is something still wrong? ”
"It's the subordinates who are not doing well, and I ask the young master to condemn him." , Chi Rong lowered his head slightly and pleaded guilty.
Shao Ziqing still replied lightly: "That's it, there will never be a next time." ”
"Yes." , Chirong responded.
Looking at the scorching sunshine outside the window, accompanied by the continuous sound of cicadas, Shao Ziqing's gaze gradually deepened, and his voice gradually cooled: "I thought that it would be people from outside who came to steal the national seal, but people were among us." ”
"Now it seems that the young master's high fever is not accidental, maybe someone wants to take advantage of it." , Chirong's words reminded Shao Ziqing, Shao Ziqing squinted and thought about it, and said, "It seems that you and Jiang Zuiyao want to go together." ”
Chirong nodded: "Madame is proficient in medical skills, she must have noticed it, but she has never told her subordinates." ”
Shao Ziqing sneered suspiciously: "Heh, that woman is so thoughtful that even I can't see through it, let alone you?" ”
