Chapter Ninety-Four: Confidant Suspicion
"He can help me solve my own affairs, and I don't need you to risk helping." Lu Xuan said.
Qing Pei couldn't help but look back at Gu Huanli, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, nose and lips, and Yan Ru Shunhua, if she didn't care about others, I am afraid she would have already fallen for it.
At this point, a few gossips couldn't help but appear in Qing Pei's ears, and she seemed to remember the rumors in the city that Lu Xuan was a broken show.
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Xuan first went to Wangchun Tower to find Qing Pei in order to clear his name, and he did not have fun like ordinary men.
And in the time she spent with Qing Pei, Lu Xuan had never acted beyond her bounds, if she was a gentleman, her self-control would be too much beyond ordinary people.
Thinking about everything before and after, Qing Pei couldn't help but be suspicious, and then looked at Lu Xuan tentatively: "I don't know why Lord Lu believes so much that this adult will be able to help?" ”
Lu Xuan was stunned, but he couldn't easily expose Gu Huanli's identity, so he hesitated and could only respond:
"I was all thanks to him for taking care of him everywhere in Shengjing City before, so I can naturally trust it."
When Lu Xuan replied, he was bent on prevaricating the identity of Prince Gu Huanli, but he never thought that Qing Pei didn't mean it at all.
Now listening to her answer, Qing Pei couldn't help but become more suspicious, and simply asked directly: "I don't know what the relationship between the two adults is?" ”
Lu Xuan was stunned, the two were clearly different from each other, but at the moment, it seemed that they could only say that they were ......
"Friendship." Lu Xuan dared to transgress: "It's an old friend who has a little friendship." ”
After speaking, seeing that Gu Huanli didn't show anything unusual, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But he seemed to be faintly aware of the meaning of Qing Pei's words, but he didn't say it explicitly, just took a sip of tea and watched it quietly with an indifferent face.
Lu Xuan responded with vague answers such as "friends", which was obviously not what Qing Pei wanted.
In this way, Qing Pei simply picked out the words more clearly: "Qing Pei remembers that when the adults first arrived at Wangchun Tower, they were troubled by the rumors of the broken show, and then they were resolved through Qing Pei, right?" ”
Saying anything in front of Gu Huanli, Lu Xuan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and a pair of spiritual eyes couldn't help but glance in his direction, but they were clearly seen by Qing Pei.
"My lord? Did you hear Qingpei speak? Seeing that Lu Xuan was distracted, Qing Pei hurriedly called.
Lu Xuan reacted at this time, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, speaking of this, I have to thank Qingpei for helping me out of the siege." ”
Qing Pei didn't accept this gratitude, but continued to ask: "Qing Pei got along with the adult for a while, and found that the adult is really not close to women, and I don't know if it's ......."
As she spoke, she looked in the direction of Gu Huanli, Lu Xuan suddenly felt weak, and hurriedly denied it:
"Didn't I say it, I didn't intend to do anything about men and women, but now I just want to do a good job in this county order."
"Really? But why did Qing Pei feel that Lord Lu was extraordinary to this adult? Qing Pei's words broke through the thoughts in Lu Xuan's heart that she might not even be aware of.
Lu Xuan was stunned: "I ......"
Seeing that she was speechless, and worried that Qing Pei would find out Lu Xuan's identity as a woman sooner or later if she continued to doubt like this, Gu Huanli finally spoke up to help:
"The two families have always had a relationship, and my help is just entrusted by the elders, so the girl doesn't have to worry too much."
In this way, Qing Pei didn't ask any more questions, but there were still a lot of doubts in his heart that were difficult to dispel.
The three of them were in a stalemate in some kind of embarrassing atmosphere, when they suddenly heard a sound of rustling footsteps at the door, Lu Xuan was alert and hurriedly went to the door to check.
Through the window paper, I saw that Su Junfeng's subordinates were coming over this way, Lu Xuan was anxious, and hurriedly signaled Gu Huanli and Qing Pei to hide.
After a while, Su Junfeng's subordinates really knocked on the door: "Lord Lu, we are ordered to inspect, and I also ask Lord Lu to make it convenient." ”
Lu Xuan turned around and disappeared from the two of them, only then did he take a breath and open the door, pretending to be calm.
"It's just a matter of patrolling the courtyard every day, why are you still checking in the official room now?" Lu Xuan struck first.
The other party ignored it, and just looked around in the room, until he didn't see the slightest abnormality, and then turned around to her: "Is there anyone else in Lord Lu's room?" ”
Lu Xuan shook his head: "This room is so big, don't you know how many people there are at a glance?" Why bother asking this officer? ”
Having said that, the patrol party clearly heard the movement coming.
"But I just heard Lord Lu talking." The patrol asked tentatively.
Lu Xuan was in a hurry, and then made it up: "The official is thinking about the case, and he is talking to himself about the scene of the crime. ”
"Restore the scene of the crime?" This argument is far-fetched and unconvincing.
Seeing that the other party was still suspicious, Lu Xuan said more confidently: "Yes, haven't you even seen this little trick after following the prefect for so long?" ”
Lu Xuan's categorical appearance is really difficult to refute.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, the patrol guard stopped lingering, and then turned to leave.
Lu Xuan closed the door, and when he saw everyone walking away, he whispered to remind Gu Huanli and Qing Pei to appear.
Tonight's trip was originally arranged by Lu Xuan to be sure that Qing Pei was okay, and now that she is well, the purpose can be regarded as achieved.
The backyard of the county government is now completely lost by Su Junfeng's subordinates, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will suddenly break in, and Gu Huanli and Qing Peiduo will be more dangerous when they stay here.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately walked towards Gu Huanli: "This place is not suitable for a long time, you can take Qingpei away quickly." ”
Gu Huanli nodded: "Then you should be more careful alone, if there is anything, let the official send me a letter, I will find out the facts of the case, don't be anxious." ”
Lu Xuan smiled when he heard this: "They won't do anything to me." ”
Qing Pei stood aside, as if he couldn't fit in at all.
Previously, Gu Huanli's attitude towards her had always been extremely indifferent, and the words between her words were like gold, but now she cared for Lu Xuan and gave a lot of instructions, which was really a world of difference.
On the other hand, Lu Xuan is still not smiling at Qingpei, a delicate beauty, but he is like a spring breeze to this big man.
There are a lot of abnormalities, which makes Qing Pei have to be suspicious of the words of the show.
Shaoqing, after explaining the matter to Lu Xuan, Gu Huanli looked at Qing Pei: "Let's go." ”
Words and deeds are really back to the same as when they first saw them.
Qing Pei didn't have time to think about it, he only squeezed out a parting smile to Lu Xuan with a heart full of loneliness, and then followed Gu Huanli to leave.
The two left from the windowsill, and the big stone in Lu Xuan's heart was put down.
But at this time, the door was pushed suddenly, and Lu Xuan was suddenly startled.
She quickly turned her head, but met the bright eyes full of suspicion.
"Lord Prefect?" Lu Xuan was surprised, why did Su Junfeng suddenly come to the door in the middle of the night, and still broke in without warning?
This is really not like his usual style, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel terrified: didn't he find something?
The more he speculated like this, the more Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel empty-hearted.
I saw Su Junfeng coming in the direction of Lu Xuan without saying a word, with a menacing posture.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but take two steps back, but he shifted his gaze, it turned out that his target was not Lu Xuan, but the open window behind her.
Su Junfeng looked out the window carefully, as if he was looking for something.
After a long time, seeing that Su Junfeng was still staring out of the window without saying a word, Lu Xuan tentatively spoke: "I don't know what the prefect has to say when he comes here late at night?" ”
Hearing this, Su Junfeng turned his head to look at Lu Xuan: "I heard that Lord Lu was talking to himself in the room to restore the scene of the crime. ”
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that the few people who had just gone back to complain.
It's just that restoring the scene of the crime was made up by Lu Xuan in a hurry, how can he really behave in front of Su Jun's cover?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Xuan pretended to be modest: "The lower official is just foolish, and he really doesn't deserve to get an axe in front of the prefect." ”
Seeing Lu Xuan shirking, Su Junfeng raised his noble hand and dispelled this thought.
But there is a lot of doubt about what happened tonight.
Su Junfeng raised his eyes and stared at the open window, and then looked at Lu Xuan: "What was Lord Lu doing by the window when the official came in?" ”
Lu Xuan was taken aback, when Su Junfeng came, Gu Huanli and Qing Pei had just left on their front feet, wasn't it so coincidental that he saw them at the door?
With such a guess, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart: His Highness's identity must not be discovered by him.
After weighing it, before everything was decided, he still couldn't mess with himself, so Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xia Guan is grounded in the room all day long, a big man, it is inevitable that there is some peculiar smell, just want to open the window for ventilation." Lu Xuan explained, and then stared intently at Su Junfeng's reaction.
His eyes were still full of suspicion, and he even suddenly took two steps closer to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan felt oppressed, and couldn't help but retreat, but was tempted by Su Junfeng's words: "It's just to open the window for ventilation, why is Lu County Ling so panicked?" ”
"I ......" Lu Xuan swallowed her saliva, not to mention that the person in front of her was above her, and now she was caught as a thief, even if any man leaned on her so close for no reason, she would inevitably be a little nervous.
But she can't explain to Su Junfeng on this ground, if he mistakenly thinks that a big man thinks about himself, wouldn't it be more solid for Lu Xuan's reputation as a showman?
After thinking about it again and again, Lu Xuan spoke: "Xia Guan is not panicked, it's just that the adult didn't even say hello and went straight to the door and broke in, Xia Guan couldn't help but be a little frightened, and he thought that he was sent by someone with ulterior motives to kill people and kill people." ”
At present, Lu Xuan is involved in the case, this kind of thing is indeed impossible, so it must be somewhat credible.
Sure enough, Su Junfeng finally returned to his place when he heard this.
"The official asked you, have there been anyone else in this house besides you?" Su Junfeng was still skeptical.
Lu Xuan said categorically: "The lord ordered the lower officials to be grounded, and naturally there will only be one lower official in the room." ”
There is no basis for the mouthful, Su Junfeng suddenly stared sharply: "Can Lu County's order dare to let this official search?" ”
