Looking at Cao Lin's embarrassed and painful appearance, Ying'er only felt that her heart was dripping blood, as if she had been pierced by a sharp blade in her heart, and the pain was indescribable.

Cao Lin actually let himself kill him.

Ying'er couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain on her face, and she knew that if it wasn't for the extreme pain, how could Cao Lin make such a request.

She has been by the eldest lady's side for more than a year, and naturally knows that the eldest lady's poison has always been extremely painful, so as long as Ji Yanning wants to ask about the things that come out of the interrogation, there is nothing she can't do.

Because few people can endure the pain of these poisons.

But when these happened to the people she cared about, she only felt that her body and mind were more painful than Cao Lin.

Cao Lin's eyes had become scarlet, he pulled at the hem of Ying'er's skirt, the green tendons on his hands burst out, and he begged: "Ying'er, please...... Please, kill me!"

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, but there was no loosening on his face.

She wanted to hear from Cao Lin that he confided the secrets of his accomplices, but it seemed that Cao Lin had made up his mind and gritted his teeth and persisted.

But the process of perseverance is too painful.

When the shopkeeper saw this scene, he was a little frightened.

Originally, it seemed that this eldest lady was soft and weak, but where did she think that she was such a ruthless master, before I thought she was easy to talk to, and planned to let her go out of the room to other guests, it seems that she didn't do it to herself!

Rong Fangyu and Rong Fangqi, brother and sister, looked at this scene and were somewhat surprised in their hearts.

Rong Fangqi is the county lord, in this Laizhou County, except for her mother, there is no more noble woman for her, so she has always been arrogant and domineering.

But she teaches people or those who don't like it on weekdays, but it's just a beating and scolding, so that they can learn a lesson, looking at Cao Lin like this, she is a little stunned in her heart.

Seeing that Ying'er didn't make a move, Cao Lin continued to smash his head on the ground again!

Ying'er finally couldn't help but hug his body and wanted him to stop: "Brother Cao, don't be like this. ”

Cao Lin said: "Ying'er, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't lie to you! Please let me die a happy death, please!"

Ying'er glanced at the dagger at Yuan Wu's feet not far away, her whole head was empty, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, trembling.

If Cao Lin wanted to take the dagger, Yuan Wu would naturally stop it, but Ying'er stretched out her hand and took the dagger, Yuan Wu's eyes were slightly sunken, but there was no action to stop it.

Ying'er held the dagger, but her hand trembled non-stop, she looked at Cao Lin, her face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

Cao Lin saw the sharp blade, grabbed his wrist tightly with both hands, and then stabbed into his chest!

"Uh-"

Cao Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing Ying'er's blue clothes a little bit of dark red.

"Brother Cao!!" Ying'er's eyes widened, and when she looked at Cao Lin, she stood up in her arms, shouting heartbreakingly.

Ji Yanning's eyes flashed slightly, and she turned around with an umbrella and walked back to the inn, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

She walked to the door of the inn, handed the umbrella back to Jinhe, and said, "After all, there is a dead person, you go to the yamen to report it." Cao Lin kidnapped the county lord with the intention of murdering the master, such a crime would be understood by the adults in the yamen. ”

Jinhe took the umbrella in Ji Yanning's hand and bowed slightly: "Yes, eldest miss." ”

Ji Yanning looked at Rong Fangqi.

Rong Fangqi subconsciously took half a step back, she was still a little scared of such a cold-blooded person.

Ji Yanning took out a small bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Rong Fangqi, and said: "My guard accidentally injured the county lord, it was because my majesty was not strict, this bottle of ointment is a good medicine for scars, and it can be scabbed on the second day after being smeared, and it will not leave a scar." ”

Rong Fangqi said vigilantly: "Who knows if what you gave me is poison." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and he said: "It's okay, this is my gift to you, whether you accept it or not, whether you use it or not, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Rong Fangyu took the ointment in her hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Ji Yanning bowed slightly, then walked upstairs, slowly went up the stairs, and returned to his room.

Jinhe opened the umbrella and walked behind Ying'er to shield her from the wind and rain.

However, Ying'er just hugged Cao Lin tightly, and she had already cried into tears, how could she take care of the cold wind in the end?

She knelt on the ground, hugged Cao Lin, and sobbed quietly.

Yuan Wu stepped forward, took the umbrella in Jinhe's hand, and said to him: "If it is the order of the young lady, go do it as soon as possible, I will look at her." ”

Jinhe nodded, and then left the street with light skills, disappearing from everyone's field of vision.

Rong Fangyu's eyes sank slightly, and he was still thinking about what Cao Lin said to him just now.

He said that he was the emperor's man.

It was a phrase he shouted in his most desperate moments, and it was too credible.

So, what is the identity of this woman? She can actually let the emperor arrange spies by her side.

The guards around her are all strong in martial arts, and it can be seen from today's fight that if these people are against this woman, I am afraid that there is not much chance of winning.

He looked at Rong Fangqi and said, "Qi'er, let's go back." ”

Rong Fangqi glanced at Ying'er, who was still holding Cao Lin and crying on the street, and she felt inexplicably distressed.

Although Cao Lin kidnapped herself just now, she couldn't bear to see such a scene of life and death, but their master, the woman, looked like she didn't care at all.

That woman's heart must have been hard and cold!

Rong Fangqi still went back to the room with Rong Fangyu.

Yuan Wu looked at the sad Ying'er, his eyes moved slightly, and he said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

In fact, he had already discovered that Cao Lin was abnormal, just to find out who he was, so he didn't make a move, and he didn't tell Ying'er.

Ying'er shook her head, her body was shivering from the cold, but she just didn't want to let go.

She knew very well that none of this was the fault of the eldest lady, let alone Yuan Wu's, it was Cao Lin who deceived her.

Although she knew, she was still sad.

She grew up with her grandfather since she was a child, and her uncles and aunts were not good to her, and even thought she was a burden, and few people would be so good to her before she met the eldest lady.

Soon Jinhe returned, and he told Yuan Wu that he only needed to send people to be buried or thrown to Yizhuang.

However, looking at Ying'er's appearance, Yuan Wu asked a few guards to choose a hill to bury Cao Lin's body.

Only then did he bring Ying'er back to the inn.

Ying'er was drenched all over, her lips were a little white from the cold, and her body trembled a little.

Rong Fangqi was going back to his room from his brother, and when he saw Ying'er like this, he felt a little pitiful.

In the final analysis, this matter was caused by her wanting to find trouble with Cao Lin, otherwise things would not have come to this point.

She stepped forward and said, "Why don't you come to my room to rest, and I'll have someone prepare hot water for you." ”

As if she hadn't heard, Ying'er walked into her room.

As soon as she opened the door, she felt a warmth rushing to her face, and she was slightly startled, only to find that there were a few more pots of charcoal fire in the house.

Behind the screen was a tub filled with hot water for bathing, and new clothes were already hanging aside.

Seeing all this, Ying'er suddenly squatted down and hugged herself and cried.

Rong Fangyu was still thinking about what happened just now, the door was pushed open, his guard walked in, closed the door again with one hand, walked in front of him, bowed his hand, and then reported: "Hui Shizi, his subordinates have already gone to the yamen to verify, they seem to be people from the Xuan Wangfu." ”

"Xuan Wangfu?" Rong Fangyu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was a little surprised.

Rong Fangyu went to Chang'an two years ago, and when it was the emperor's birthday, he had met King Xuan.

This imperial uncle is not very old, but he was raised by the queen and has a good relationship with the third prince.

But as far as he knows, King Xuan shouldn't have much power.

But that was two years ago, this year King Xuan went to the northern Xinjiang, and heard that the famous general of Yan State, Helian Xuanyan, was directly injured on the battlefield, so that Helian Xuanyan could not go to the battlefield in the future, and now he has become an envoy to Yan.

It's long been no longer the little prince who had no power at the beginning.

Rong Fangyu said: "Since it is Uncle Huang's person, let's not stir it up." ”

He didn't know why the emperor had sent someone to spy on the woman, but he also knew very well that it was best not to get involved.

There are a lot of filths in the royal family, even if everyone thinks that Rong Che can't threaten the throne, but who can know what the emperor is thinking, as long as he feels that there is a threat, he naturally needs to be supervised at any time.

The guard bowed his head and said, "Then we should go back to Laizhou City tomorrow according to the original plan?"

Rong Fangyu said: "Go back early, and my father will be at ease sooner." ”

The guard answered with a "yes" and stepped back.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, Rong Fangyu rubbed her head, the woman she saw today was definitely not simple, the guards around her were only afraid that they were even more powerful than her father's secret guards, I really don't know what this person came from, and why he came to Laizhou.

His heart was inexplicably uneasy.

Ying'er took a bath and changed into clean clothes, but the room was still very warm.

She lowered her eyes and walked towards the next room.

By this time, it was already dark, and after winter, the time of the day was always very short.

Ji Yanning's room was brightly lit, and Ying'er walked in lightly and saw her playing chess by herself.

It was a little cold in the house, and Ying'er knew that the eldest lady had always been afraid of charcoal fire, so in winter, Ziyu asked them to put the charcoal fire behind the screen or in an inconspicuous position, just to prevent the eldest lady from seeing it.

Ying'er stepped forward and saluted Ji Yanning, "Miss." ”

Her voice was hoarse, the words she said had changed, her eyes were red and swollen, she bit her lip and lowered her head, and she didn't dare to look up at Ji Yanning.
