Chapter 124: Actions of the Parties
Luo Teng's people stayed in Dali Temple for four days in a row, and there were no uninvited guests. The more this is the case, the more preoccupied Song Wenyu becomes.
"How many days will it take to breathe a sigh of relief?" When Song Wenyu returned home and told Ah Jin about this matter, his brows were furrowed and he didn't stretch.
Ah Jin had already changed into a strong outfit, and he just waited for the night before continuing to guard the Qingwang Mansion, "The most important thing is that in the next few days, if the saint has not made a judgment, and Xiao Duo has not made a decision, the queen will have to make a move sooner or later." ”
I understand that. It's just that...... It is too manpower and material resources to guard it like this. It's like a headless fly. ”
"The enemy is dark and I am clear, this is also a helpless thing," Ah Jin said here, and asked seemingly casually, "Why are only the people from the yamen squatting?" King Run is the chief judge of this Huainan County case, why don't you see him send soldiers to help. ”
"We've done that too. King Run's identity is too sensitive, and at this moment, he is leading troops to guard, which will make things more and more complicated. ”
Ah Jin didn't speak, and I don't know if I agree with this reason. She glanced up at the window, stood up and said, "It's not early, I should go." You've gone to bed early today, too. ”
"Ah Jin, stay safe." Song Wenyu stood up and sent the person outside the door. Ah Jin nodded, flew onto the roof, and then took up and fell, blending into the night.
……
Just after the Shen period, martial law began again in the streets of the royal capital. Ah Jin came to sit on a tree in the inner courtyard of the Qingwang Mansion, knowing that this sitting was going to sit until the early morning of the next day, and seeing that there was no movement in the palace, he simply closed his eyes and recuperated first.
When he was about to arrive, suddenly there was a slight sound of rustling in his ears, Ah Jin opened his eyes, sat up straight and looked down, and saw a team of people in black opening the side door of King Qing's Mansion and rushing in.
They were familiar with the structure of the palace, as if they were walking in their own homes, and went straight to the room where they held the qin. Ah Jin squatted on the trunk of the tree, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally waited for these people. After she put on the veil, she disappeared into the night, blending in with the moonlight reflections of the surrounding scenery. This team is all extremely light and cautious, and she doesn't want to startle the snake at this time.
Seeing that the group of people had entered the room where Baoqin was held, only a short exclamation was heard from the room, and after a while, Ah Jin saw a person carrying a person out of the room, and it was estimated that Baoqin was already stunned by them.
Before leaving, one of them asked the other person, "What about that maid?" ”
"The master said, stay alive and don't make more trouble."
Ah Jin hid in the dark and listened to their words, and was even more sure that these people were sent by the Zhu family. The kidnapping of Baoqin was not to take her life, but to be able to hold Xiao Duo.
Seeing that the group of people slipped out of King Qing's Mansion smoothly, when they just entered an alley, the man in black who suddenly walked at the end swung his sword and slashed down at his teammates. A scream, echoing in this silent alley, seemed terrifying and eerie.
The others all turned around and looked at the man in surprise, "You ......", and the middle one, after staring at the man in black for a few seconds, suddenly waved his hand, letting the man with the harp leave first, while he and the other person stayed behind to block the path of the man in black.
I only heard the man in black snort coldly, and stabbed the two with his sword. Ah Jin watched the three black shadows trembling in the alley, and for a moment it was difficult to distinguish between them, so he hurried in the direction where the man holding the qin had left.
Coincidentally, when she had just caught up with the man and Huqin, someone happened to block their way. I saw that the other party's hand was up and down, and he almost split it with the hug qin. Ah Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he rushed out and first repelled the assailant with a palm, then looked back at the man's injuries, and then looked back at the assailant.
The other party seemed to be very surprised by her arrival, and the two sides were at a stalemate, and no one was in a hurry to make a move. Suddenly, Huqin who was wrapped in black cloth muttered, Ah Jin subconsciously glanced sideways at her, and the other party seized her momentary distraction and attacked her. But he didn't expect that his fierce offensive was only a few moves, and it was defused by Ah Jin.
Not only that, but her body didn't even move. The man in black took a few big steps back and stood still, and when he looked at Ah Jin again, his heart was full of emotions. On the other hand, Ah Jin, she obviously saw the change in the other party's eyes, but her expression was still calm and indifferent, and she didn't see the slightest relaxation.
The man in black staggered, and stood not far away and did not move. Strangely, Ah Jin was not surprised by the other party's abnormal movements. Seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking again, she squatted down to check the injuries of the unconscious Zhu family spy, and pulled Baoqin out of the black cloth so that her whole body leaned on her body.
"Girl......" The man in black saw Ah Jin turn around to leave, and finally couldn't help but catch up.
"Don't come here," Ah Jin turned sideways and looked at the other party with his peripheral vision, and the man in black listened, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step forward, "Since you have chosen this path, you can do it yourself." If I were to be asked to do this kind of murderous and overselling business again, I would not show mercy to my subordinates. ”
"Girl!" When the man in black heard this, his body trembled violently and he choked out.
In Ah Jin's impression, she never remembered that Ah Jiu had cried, but now when she suddenly heard her crying and calling herself, her heart was also aching faintly. Even so, Ah Jin still didn't look back at her.
"Since I've met you, I might as well ask if you ever put saffron powder in my food."
Ah Jin's question did not wait for Ah Jiu's answer, Ah Jin looked up at the cold moonlight, and sneered softly, "If you don't say anything, that's it." Originally, I wanted to give you a chance to plead, but I didn't expect it to be confirmed...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"
Ah Jin said at the end, his voice getting quieter and quieter. But every word of that sigh was heart-wrenching, stinging Ah Jiu's heart.
"Girl, you have already cultivated to the realm of feathering of the Nine Strings! Since ancient times, women who have studied this technique have never married a woman, let alone conceived a child...... After you and Song Wenyu became husband and wife, they began to have internal breath disorders, and they could no longer use the Thousand Faces Technique for a long time, if they were really pregnant and gave birth at that time, I am afraid it would endanger your life! ”
Ah Jin listened to her words, just clenched his fists, but did not respond, "You go back and tell your new master that I took the hugqin away." ”
With that, Ah Jin left with a hug that was not yet conscious.
……
When she woke up with a long time, only the maid Xiaoyue was by her side.
"Girl, you finally woke up," for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, Xiaoyue's eyes were swollen from crying, not only for her own little life, but also for the distressed Huqin who was pregnant with Liujia.
"Child, my child ......" After Baoqin came to his senses, he immediately covered his stomach with both hands, and his face turned pale.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Shizi is fine...... Xiaoyue hurriedly comforted, and said softly to Baoqin: "It was Mrs. Song who brought you back to the house, and asked the slave to invite Lang Zhong to come over and show the girl, Xiao Shizi is very good, but the girl is too frightened, you have to take care of it." ”
"It's okay...... It's okay...... it's okay" Baoqin muttered softly, just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of yesterday's thrill, his heart rose to his throat again, "I'm afraid that someone is going to use me and the child in my womb to pinch the prince...... In the days to come, I will be good. ”
"Girl, don't you...... Let's go and ask King Liang again, ask for his protection? Xiaoyue listened to Baoqin's words, and when Emperor Zhang was at a loss, he could only think of King Liang as a life-saving straw, "When the slave maid was a child, she heard others talk about this King Liang, mostly praise and praise. If he knew about it, he wouldn't have stood idly by. ”
"Won't you sit idly by......" Baoqin couldn't help but bow her head and ponder, but in just a few days, she has matured a lot, in order to be able to protect the fetus in her womb, she is no longer as innocent as before, "This matter...... Let me think again. ”
"Girl, can you ...... But what about tonight? Xiaoyue asked tremblingly when she heard that she was still thinking about it.
"Don't get in the way, they have already been out of the way once yesterday, and they definitely won't come back tonight," Baoqin comforted Xiaoyue softly, and sent her to get some food for herself.
In fact, she has no appetite at all now, but she also knows that she doesn't want to eat. For the sake of the child, she must also eat a little.
……
When Ah Jin returned to the Song Mansion after handling the affairs of King Qing's Mansion, Song Wenyu was already wearing his official uniform and preparing to go to the palace to go to court. Wusha was halfway through his coat, and when he saw Ah Jin walking in with a tired face, he hurriedly walked out from behind the screen, and Wusha dragged behind him, as if dragging a tail, "How is it?" Did you encounter something? ”
"Well," Ah Jin nodded listlessly and got up to change his clothes, "Someone came to kidnap Baoqin yesterday, and there were uninvited guests who wanted to rob people on the way." ”
"Robbing people? Not homicide? ”
Song Wenyu listened to her words and subconsciously asked a rhetorical question. Ah Jin paused for a moment as he changed his clothes, and replied in his usual tone: "I can't say if she wants to kill someone, but she is quite ruthless to the Zhu family spies." As soon as her front foot blocked the way of the Zhu family, I caught up with my back foot. So...... Maybe she was planning to kill her with Baoqin, but I stopped her. ”
"How did you conclude that the group of people who kidnapped Baoqin in the first place were sent by the Zhu family?"
As soon as Song Wenyu finished asking, Ah Jin walked out from behind the screen in a snow-white middle coat and sat down beside him, "When I was checking on the injuries of one of them, I took this with me." ”
As she spoke, she threw the token she was holding in her hand into Song Wenyu's arms. Song Wenyu touched out a Zhu character with his hand, he looked at the token over and over again, and then looked up at Ah Jin and said: "If this is used as evidence in court, I am afraid that it can also be denied by them." ”
"It's okay, I also know that you don't plan to take this matter to the royal court, this matter is not a big deal when it is placed with the saint. Bringing this token back to you is just a good idea to keep you up to date. ”
"Well......" Song Wenyu wanted to ask for some more details, but at this time, Huairen knocked on the door of the room, reminding him that the time for going to court was almost up. In desperation, he had to stand up and hurriedly put on his clothes, "You go to sleep quickly, I will come back to accompany you early after dealing with things as usual today." ”
"Okay," Ah Jin looked at him, and stopped talking. In the end, she just buttoned the buttons for him, sorted out his official uniform again, and swallowed those words back into her stomach.
"I'm leaving," Song Wenyu raised his hand and touched her face, whispered a word of advice, and then left the room. Ah Jin leaned against the door and watched him hurry out of the courtyard with Huairen before sitting back in the room.
"Girl, aren't you going to take a break?" Seeing her sitting on the round stool in a daze, Ah Zhen asked cautiously.
Ah Jin shook his head, looked at Ah Zhen and said, "Who do you guess I saw last night?" ”
Ah Zhen chuckled in her heart, she already had the answer in her heart, but she couldn't speak, "Who?" ”
“…… Ah Jiu. After saying this name, Ah Jin slowly closed her eyes, as if she was recalling the scene when she looked at each other last night, and after a while, she opened her eyes again and looked ahead, "Originally, I just heard from Senior Sister that she probably voted for her master, but I didn't expect it...... She really got involved in these things. ”
"Girl, Ah Jiu she...... I'm afraid it's a bitter ......" Ah Zhen has been by Ah Jin's side for so long, and it is rare to hear her speak in such a cold tone. In a panic, he knelt down.
Ah Jin glanced down at her, and then looked away, "You get up, you don't have to plead for her, I already told her everything I had to say yesterday." If she doesn't move, I will naturally take care of the past. ”
"Girl...... Don't be angry with her, it's not worth it to be angry. Ah Zhen listened to Ah Jin's words, and began to feel sorry for Ah Jin again. She only felt like she was caught in the middle, torn between a dilemma.
"I'm not angry, I'm just chilling." Ah Jin said, a trace of heartache still spread from the bottom of his heart after all.
……
Xiao Zhan took Feiyun back to Runwang's Mansion after going down to the court, and as soon as he sat down, Feiyun took the initiative to speak: "Please also ask the prince to calm his anger, this time Ah Jiu did not complete the errand, and she was delayed, and she will be punished for her humble duties, and she will not be tolerated." ”
Xiao Zhan looked at Feiyun, his tone was still gentle, "Master, it's rare that you will call me a prince, and it is even more rare that you will intercede for others." For your sake, I won't punish Ah Jiu, don't worry. ”
Feiyun was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "But...... Her errand is really not very good, listening to what Dr. Song said today, it seems that Dr. Song already knows what happened last night. ”
"Of course he knows. Guess right, Ah Jin should have been secretly protecting Baoqin these days," Xiao Zhan said, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair. There was some joy in his voice, and he didn't seem to care that his plans were disrupted by others. Or, in fact, everything was within his expectations, "Anyway, none of the spies of the Zhu family are alive, and that's enough." ”
"Next, what is the prince going to do?"
"Naturally, we released the news that Baoqin was almost taken away, and we don't have to meddle in the rest of the matter." Xiao Zhan smiled and replied.
"Yes." Feiyun answered, turned around and walked out of King Qing's mansion.
……
Wei Lingyun took advantage of Shen Yu's coming to Xinglin Yuan to receive today's medicinal food for Meng Yidi, and took her to a place where it was convenient to talk, "I was reminded by you last time and kept an eye on it, but I didn't see any strange and abnormal behaviors from the imperial doctor or the medicine woman. I've also noticed the dregs, and I haven't added anything more. ”
Shen Yu listened to Wei Lingyun's words, although he was a little disappointed, but he was also expected, "I'm sure that someone did tricks in the prescription I prescribed to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, but I don't know when they seem to have changed another way to drug Niangniang." Since it's not a problem in the dregs, maybe it's in other links......"
Shen Yu lowered his head, puzzled. She was thinking about it intently, when suddenly Wei Lingyun took out a jade bracelet and sent it to her eyes. Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to answer, "What are you doing here......"
"For you, do you like it?" Wei Lingyun asked cautiously, for fear that his action would surprise the beauty.
Shen Yu nodded, but still didn't take it, "You can help me keep it alive, I suddenly have such a piece of jewelry in the palace, I am afraid that it will cause criticism, and it will affect you in the end." ”
"Hmm...... It's also ......" Wei Lingyun took his hand back a little embarrassed, and smiled at Shen Yu embarrassedly: "It turned out that I didn't think it through." ”
Shen Yu shook his head and said with a bright smile: "The doctor is taking the slave and maid to heart, and the slave and maid are very happy. ”
After saying that, he leaned over slightly towards Wei Lingyun and left. Leaving Wei Lingyun, because of these words, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
