Chapter Twenty-Six—What Poison Is So Fierce?
"Gu Ruihan."
"What's the matter?" Lu Mengqi was a little shocked, she didn't know when Gu Ruihan's light skills were so good that she couldn't hear them. In fact, if you have a higher attainment in light work, you can be silent, although Lu Mengqi has set the first place in light work, but in fact, there are still many people who she can't hear.
It's just that most of these people are in the Hidden Faith Pavilion and the Royal Family, and they suddenly found that there are people outside of them, which really surprised Lu Mengqi.
Lu Mengqi motioned to Li Rourou to hide the things first, and went to open the door for Gu Ruihan himself.
"Just talk about it outside the door. Can I help you? Lu Mengqi stood inside the door and looked at Gu Ruihan outside the door.
"I just heard that Lin Xinxin came to trouble you again, it seems that the matter of the injury in the early autumn was counted on your head, and I went to complain in front of Prime Minister Gu, you should be careful."
"What does it matter to me to get injured in early autumn? Didn't she fall herself? ”
"The master should be looking for you in a while, I'll go first." After speaking, Gu Ruihan quickly left the study.
Lu Mengqi felt that it shouldn't be fake news, so she could only hide the box containing the silver money again, and after a brief explanation to Li Rourou, the housekeeper came to knock on the door.
"Young lady, sir, please." The butler stood outside the door, neither knocking nor pushing the door.
"Got it." Sure enough, as Gu Ruihan said, Lu Mengqi has been thinking about how to deal with this situation in his heart, and he really hasn't been beaten up by anyone, but now that he has encountered it, there is an indescribable feeling of depression.
"Mengqi, you connived at Li Rourou's actions against Chuqiu and caused Chuqiu to be injured, but is it true?" Prime Minister Gu Cheng sat in the center of the hall, although he was old, his momentum was very intimidating, and there were also the eldest lady and the seventh lady sitting next to him.
"It's a little stumbling, it's inevitable." Lu Mengqi stood in the middle, looking at the early autumn on the side, obviously just breaking his chin, why is it so tightly wrapped? The whole head is wrapped, and those who don't know think they're going to have plastic surgery.
"Father, in fact, I heard that the young lady is usually very good to the subordinates, and often cares about them, but this plum flesh is a little pampered and arrogant, relying on her identity as the young lady's attendant, she doesn't take other subordinates in her eyes." After Lin Xinxin finished speaking, she also touched Chu Qiu to show that her maid was also one of the victims.
"Since Li Rourou is too much, let's expel him from the mansion, Mengqi, you can pick a new maid from the mansion, since she has married into the Gu Mansion and takes the attendants all day long, it will not affect well." Before Prime Minister Gu could say anything, the eldest lady sitting next to him spoke, and the seventh lady heard it and echoed it.
"Let's do it." Prime Minister Gu didn't say much, and waved his hand to signal Lu Mengqi and Lin Xinxin to leave.
When he returned to the study, he saw Li Rourou waiting at the door, Lu Mengqi waved his hand and asked him to follow him in.
"Prime Minister Gu kicked you out of the house, but it's better, you can leave with these now." Lu Mengqi vacated his box for Li Rourou, his box has a secret grid, even if Li Rourou is searched out of the house for a while, he will not be searched.
It's just that there is no way to take out all these silver taels. So Lu Mengqi only loaded the production method and the silver ticket. "You can go to the back door to pick me up at night, and I'll send these out."
Li Rourou took the box, which contained his luggage, all the way back to Lu Mansion, and at night, Lu Mengqi looked at the time and found a box with a part of the silver taels, ready to be transported to the back door to Xu Jie and Li Rourou.
"It's a bit heavy." Lu Mengqi was a little difficult to hold and walk halfway, although the light work was good, and he had been trained by Gu Ruihan for so long, but a small box of silver was still very heavy.
At night, there are very few guards in the back garden, one is because there are few people in the Gu Mansion, and the other is because the Gu Mansion is too big and the back garden is empty, so there are fewer guards, and the back door is closed and locked all the year round, so Lu Mengqi is relatively easy all the way.
When he arrived at the back door, Lu Mengqi looked around to see if there was anyone, flew up with a light skill, handed the box out, and flew back again. Xu Jie and Li Rourou packed the silver in the box separately and returned to Lu Mansion separately.
Lu Mengqi strolled around and prepared to go back, but before he walked a few steps, he saw Gu Ruihan standing not far away, and quickly found a beautiful place to sit down.
"Young lady, you haven't slept so late." Gu Ruihan stood behind Lu Mengqi and looked in the direction she was looking at, "Is this here?" Moon-watching? ”
"Yes, don't you think this place is beautiful?"
"Dead trees? Weed? Crescent moon? ”
"It's called poignant, and it suits me so much! The meat was kicked out, and the husband slept in someone else's room again, alas~ pitiful. Lu Mengqi looked sad, and pretended to wipe her tears from time to time.
"Well, beauty!" Gu Ruihan looked at her so sadly, and he was embarrassed to say anything, so he could only watch it with her.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
"It is my duty to protect the young lady."
"I don't need your protection, you can go back if it's okay, I remember all the kung fu you taught me very clearly, besides, in the house, what danger can there be, right?" Let's go back. ”
As he was talking, suddenly an arrow shot at Lu Mengqi, but Lu Mengqi looked at it, the arrow seemed to be a little off, since he couldn't hit himself, there was no need to hide.
Gu Ruihan also saw that the arrow would not hit Lu Mengqi, so he rushed out with an arrow step, and went in the direction where the arrow came from.
Lu Mengqi was curious, where was this arrow going to shoot, his eyes followed the direction of the arrow, just twisted halfway, and just saw that the arrow hit the stone behind him, he was poked in the right face by the tail of the arrow that bounced back.
"Hmm!!" Lu Mengqi, who was in pain, gasped, covered her right face and began to shout, "This is deliberate!" It must be intentional! This must be deliberate!! ”
Lu Mengqi shouted twice, and Shen Feibai appeared from the side. "Young lady, are you alright?"
"It's okay! Wow, ahhh It hurts, it hurts. Lu Mengqi covered her face, and her tears were aroused by this moment.
"Young lady, you don't seem surprised by my presence."
"Aren't you two inseparable!" Lu Mengqi's words obviously didn't have a brain, and his brain that was hit by the arrow didn't turn around, just thinking that if this person was caught, he must be tied up, shoot a circle of arrows around him, and then all bounce to his face!
"Oh?" Shen Feibai didn't say much, just stood behind Lu Mengqi.
"Ahh That one... I guessed, I guessed. You two have such a good relationship, you must be good buddies, and besides, it's so late, you must have made an appointment to come out and chat together, right? Every time Lu Mengqi saw Gu Ruihan, she could hear that there were other people not far away, and when she saw Shen Feibai later, she knew that these two had been together.
"Yes." Shen Feibai stood behind Lu Mengqi, Lu Mengqi couldn't see his expression clearly, but his intuition told Lu Mengqi that Shen Feibai should have discovered something.
"That's... Let Gu Ruihan catch it, I, go back and take some medicine, otherwise it will be swollen tomorrow, you... Go back and rest. After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, for fear that he would say something wrong after a while, after all, now the blood is rushing to his face, and his brain is ischemia and lack of oxygen, which is not conducive to thinking at all.
Just woke up the next day....
"To the young lady, please... An Lin Xinxin raised his head and saw Lu Mengqi sitting at the table, "Young lady, your face..."
"No problem." Lu Mengqi wanted to smile, but her face was swollen and she couldn't make any expressions at all, she was red and swollen, her mouth couldn't open, and she could only speak as few words as possible.
Lu Mengqi's expressionless hand was raised to the door.
Lin Xinxin also understood the meaning of letting herself leave, turned around, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face, she really held back for a long time just now, and she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh.
Not long after Lin Xinxin left, a maid came with two bottles in her hands. "Hello young lady, this is the medicine that my young lady gave you, and applying it is conducive to reducing swelling and relieving pain." Although the maid said respectful words, she could also see that she was smiling very uncomfortable.
"Thank you." Lu Mengqi took the medicine.
When she got up in the morning, Lu Mengqi felt that her face was swollen, but she didn't dare to look in the mirror, she was afraid. Now seeing that everyone is laughing at themselves, I can't help but be a little curious, and walk to the mirror.
"Wow~hiss" Lu Mengqi's shocked expression touched her red and swollen face, and she didn't dare to scream in pain. This swollen, as if stung by a wasp, the dog's right eye is also narrowed into a small slit,
Lu Mengqi also wanted to laugh when she looked at herself, but unfortunately it hurt when she laughed, so she could only hold back, but when she thought of her appearance, she wanted to laugh again, so she could only go out for a walk to divert her attention.
When the maids and attendants saw Lu Mengqi, they could only hold back their laughter, and finally decided to sit in the small courtyard.
"Mengqi, last night's assassin hasn't been caught yet, let Chen Jing protect you these days." The person who came was Prime Minister Gu Cheng.
After the assassination last night, the whole government already knew, but Lu Mengqi was not injured at that time, so everyone didn't care, and after Lin Xinxin came early, he knew that Lu Mengqi's face was very swollen, so he reported the matter to Prime Minister Gu Cheng.
Although Gu Ruihan went to catch the assassin last night, the distance was too far for him to catch it. In the end, Prime Minister Gu could only let Chen Jing guard Lu Mengqi.
"Thank you, father." Lu Mengqi hurriedly got up and saluted, but her swollen face made Prime Minister Gu feel a little distressed.
"The doctor should be almost there, let him show you, apply some medicine, get better soon."
"Back to Prime Minister, this injury, it doesn't look like it's caused by an external force." The doctor looked at Lu Mengqi's face and truthfully said his guess.
"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Gu was a little puzzled.
After hearing this, Lu Mengqi was also a little puzzled, it was not an external force, could it be an internal force? No, she doesn't remember this story, there is a setting of internal strength.
"It's like poisoning, but I can't tell what kind of poison it was, and the arrows from last night are still there?"
"Yes." Shen Feibai and Gu Ruihan stood outside the door, after all, they were also present last night, so they naturally came over to listen to a few words, in case there was any help, but I didn't expect it to really help.
Shen Feibai stepped forward and handed the arrow to the doctor and asked him to check it.
The doctor took it and looked at it, and sniffed it again, "Indeed, at the end of this arrow, there is a residue of poison." ”
