Chapter 39: Extinguishing the Mouth

I woke up again and didn't know a few days later.

Lu Xuan slowly opened her eyes, only to feel a sore feeling in her limbs, she only moved slightly, she couldn't help frowning, snorted, and lay back down.

Her movement disturbed the people waiting outside, and in the next second, the rice cake broke through the door, and when she saw Lu Xuan lying on the bed, she was working hard, and a look of surprise crossed her eyes.

"My lord, you're finally awake, it's great, I'll call the doctor to come and have a look." As he spoke, the rice cake turned around and was about to rush out the door.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly opened her mouth to call her, "Wait." ”

opened her mouth, but she was stunned, this voice was hoarse, very different from her previous voice, as soon as she spoke, her throat was like a burning and stinging.

Seeing that she was stunned, Nian Cake reacted instantly, and hurriedly explained, "My lord is relieved, the doctor said before that you inhaled too much smoke in that grass hut that day, so you hurt your throat, as long as you rest for a while, you will recover." ”

The memory of that day gradually returned, Lu Xuan only remembered that she was looking for evidence in the butcher shop, but suddenly there was a fire, and then her memory became more and more blurred, and she seemed to have been rescued by someone in a half-conscious way.

"How did I escape that fire?" Thinking like this, Lu Xuan's heart jumped and looked up at the rice cake.

The fire was so ferocious that she almost thought that her life was going to be confessed to it.

Rice Cake smiled, "This is also thanks to the auspicious appearance of the adult, His Royal Highness the Fierce King happened to pass by that day and saved you." ”

Sure enough, it was him!

On that day, I smelled the familiar scent of white sandalwood. Lu Xuan had already guessed a few percent in his heart, but he was not sure yet, Gu Huanli should be staying in Shengjing right now, how could he go to Jiangnan to make this trip to the troubled waters?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask for details, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "If you wake up, lie down first, don't move around, you have some burns on your body, although it is a minor injury, but you need to pay attention to it." ”

Lu Xuan raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, Gu Huanli was leaning against the door, looking at her for a long time.

Although he didn't like Gu Huanli's half-ridiculous attitude when he spoke, he had to say that he saved her life.

Lu Xuan thought that he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, so he immediately made a gesture to get up, but he was powerless, so he had to sit down in frustration and arch his hand at him, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help this time." ”

Gu Huanli raised his eyebrows and glanced at her with interest, "Lord Lu just talks about it, but there is no sincerity. ”

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he ask, "I don't know how the adults want to repay you?" ”

Gu Huanli tapped his fingers, thought for a moment, and said casually, "Then it's better to wait until Lord Lu is injured and cook a meal for this king, what do you think?" ”

Lu Xuan choked, she didn't feel good.

Since she was a child, her cooking skills have been her weakness, and she has also tried to cook herself, but it is really miserable.

Lu Xuan initially thought that Gu Huanli was unaware and casually mentioned it, but seeing the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger, Lu Xuan realized it and felt like he was being played.

Gu Huanli must be in the know!

However, now that he is her savior, even if Lu Xuan is angry in his heart, it is difficult to express it, so he has to take the initiative to change the topic in a muffled voice.

"Why did His Royal Highness the Fierce King suddenly come to Jiangnan?" She voiced the doubts in her heart.

At present, Jiangnan is in the midst of a disaster, if you are not careful, you may be infected with the plague, Gu Huanli is not stupid, how can he know that the danger will come.

"What? Not a welcome king? Gu Huanli said, took a few steps forward, and sat on the edge of the bed very casually.

Lu Xuan was slightly stunned, rubbed it inside without a trace, and after making sure that a safe distance was maintained between the two, he replied with satisfaction, "It's just that the villain is worried about His Royal Highness's noble status, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to endure the hardships here." ”

Gu Huanli chuckled, "It's okay, besides, this king was sent here by the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan, who was secretly thinking about it with his head down, raised his head in shock.

Looking at her reaction, Gu Huanli hugged her shoulders, "What?" Unbelief? ”

I really don't believe it, what kind of character is Gu Huanli, he has always done things as he wants, how can Emperor Liang Qin be able to send him, and even if Emperor Liang Qin really has this kind of thought, as long as Gu Huanli is unwilling, he is afraid that Emperor Liang Qin will not dare to say a word.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Lu Xuan didn't dare to show anything on his face, but just shook his head slightly.

Gu Huanli didn't speak again, and the room fell silent for a while.

Fortunately, the doctor came over soon, and after some examination, it was determined that Lu Xuan was fine, but he had some minor injuries and needed to recuperate.

"Listen to the doctor, stay in the room for the next few days, and don't go anywhere." With a wave of his hand, Gu Huanli decided Lu Xuan's fate.

Lu Xuan was a little anxious, and sat up suddenly, "How can this be done?" The plague matter has not yet been resolved. ”

Now I don't know what the situation is in the capital when she is not there, and she wants to win the appreciation of Emperor Liang Qin this time, if she is delayed because of a little injury, wouldn't she miss the opportunity?

Thinking like this, Lu Xuan still wanted to argue a few words for herself, but before she could speak, Gu Huanli's cool eyes swept over, dispelling her idea of fighting again.

That's it, this living Hades is here, if she doesn't want her to go out, no matter how hard she tries, it's useless.

Fortunately, although Gu Huanli let her recuperate, he sent someone to check the plague and who set the fire in the past few days, and with Gu Huanli intervening, Lu Xuan was much more relieved.

During the few days of recuperation, Lu Xuan also thought about it carefully, including who was the mastermind behind the fire.

She didn't think that she was just a small Shuling Shi now, and she would attract anyone's attention to the point of burning her.

The only possibility is that there are ghosts from this plague, and the truth may be hidden in that room, and if she finds out the truth, it will definitely endanger the interests of some people, which is why those people will be killed.

This idea made Lu Xuan have a lot of speculations, but everything was only after she had recuperated and then went to verify.

Originally, Lu Xuan was still a little worried, like her, who didn't do anything all day and only recuperated in the room, would cause Emperor Liang Qin's dissatisfaction.

It's just that when she talked about it, Gu Huanli waved her hand indifferently, and only said that with him, Emperor Liang Qin didn't dare to do anything to her.

Others said this is extremely arrogant, but Gu Huanli said this is extremely credible, so Lu Xuan is relieved.

But she didn't expect that before she could realize the idea in her heart, disaster came to her door.

At night, Lu Xuan was half-asleep and half-awake, and there was a sound of Suo Suo outside the window.

In the past, when he was in Lu Mansion, he was scared by the Shu Branch, Lu Xuan has always been awake, and he woke up in an instant, squinted and looked in the direction where the voice came from, I don't know when there was a sneaky black shadow outside the window, but in a moment, a small hole was broken by the person on the window paper, and a bamboo tube was inserted in.

When I came to her room in the middle of the night, the smoke was probably not a good thing.

Lu Xuan squinted, held his breath, closed his eyes and lay on the bed pretending to be asleep, but his hand gradually touched the dagger under the pillow.

It's not that she doesn't run, it's just that most of the people outside are armed with martial arts, and those who practice martial arts have always had a keen sense of hearing.

Lu Xuan wasn't sure about the strength of that person's martial arts, in case she reminded him that he had woken up, the situation would be even worse.

The dark shadow outside the window didn't stay long, and after a while, the window was pushed open with a "creak", and then an extremely subtle sound of landing came, and it was supposed that the person jumped in through the window.

Lu Xuan's heart jumped, it's broken, listening to this movement, this person's martial arts are not weak.

For so many years, Lu Xuan has concentrated on discussing those poems, but she has never practiced martial arts, if she really fights, she will definitely not be an opponent.

In the panic in her heart, the man had already slowly walked towards her.

With his movements, Lu Xuan's heart also tightened.

The man didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill her, stood on the edge of the bed, looked at her for a while, then pulled out the knife from his waist, sneered, and raised his hand sharply to stick it in Lu Xuan's body.

Lu Xuan guarded against his hand early, and at the moment when she drew the knife, a fierce spirit quickly turned over into the bed, and then a carp stood up, holding a dagger and looking at her vigilantly.

The man didn't stab Lu Xuan, the long knife was inserted into the bed board and sunk deeply, which showed that the person who came was only ruthless.

"Yo," the man smiled instead of being angry, and glanced at Lu Xuan, "It turns out that you haven't slept." ”

The room was dim, and the face of the person who came was covered with a black cloth, Lu Xuan really couldn't see his appearance clearly, and could only tell from the voice that this man probably she didn't know.

"Who are you?" Lu Xuan tried his best to maintain his composure on his face, and asked, "Why did you kill me?" ”

The man snorted coldly, "You can keep these words and go to the Netherworld to ask." ”

The man obviously didn't intend to talk to her any more, and after saying that, he drew his knife and slashed at her again.

Lu Xuan relied on his small body, but he was also flexible, and he dodged his attack with a flash to the side.

Taking advantage of the interval when the two were still some distance, Lu Xuan threw the dagger in his hand towards the man regardless of it.

The man's face was shocked, and he hurriedly dodged to dodge, and it was at this time that Lu Xuan took a breath and ran out as fast as he could in his life.

"Help, murder! Help me! She shouted loudly in the courtyard as she ran.

The man squinted and chased out, and as soon as he moved in his hand, there was an extra dart, he was a practitioner, and his skills were much more agile than Lu Xuan, and a dart was thrown out, hitting Lu Xuan's waist. Lu Xuan was instantly bored, snorted and half-knelt on the ground, his body couldn't stop being tingled.

"You ......," she understood instantly, and stared at the man hatefully, "You have coated this dart with anesthetic?" ”

The man did not answer her words, and the footsteps of Si Si Suo were already heard all around, and they should have been people who had been awakened by her and hurried over.

The man snorted coldly, picked up Lu Xuan, and flew away. Lu Xuan was full of numbness all over his body at the moment, even if he wanted to resist, he was also powerless.
