Chapter 313: The Head Disappears
Chen Heng didn't have much feeling about whether the person's head was rotten or ruined, anyway, he was already a dead person, and it wasn't up to him to keep it?
Seeing that Chen Heng didn't have any expression, Ruan Xuchen waved his hand to let the guards go down.
"Then this is strange, the emperor doesn't know that Prince Huan is dead, but he is not worried or curious, is Prince Huan really the emperor's son?" Ruan Cailing was puzzled, Gu Jinxi picked up the lotus root and sent it to Ruan Cailing's lips, and she opened her mouth to bite it when she was still confused.
The salty and spicy taste filled her mouth, Ruan Cailing suddenly came back to her senses, and Gu Jinxi said, "Eat first, and have time to discuss this matter." β
"Okay."
After eating, it was originally agreed to go out for a walk, but because of Ruan Cailing's question, a group of people still gathered in the study on the third floor, Mu Bai and Mu Han had nothing to do, so they walked back and forth in the study, holding the books placed on the shelves to read.
Some are common books, and some are books that depict the history of Shengguo, Mu Bai picked one that he hadn't read and took it to the window to read.
Seeing that Ruan Cailing and their discussion was in full swing, Qingrui left the room silently, she couldn't help much, the atmosphere in the room was sluggish, she might as well do what she could.
"Miss Sunny Day."
Wen Su saw Qing Rui coming down from behind the account and immediately greeted her.
This is a young and handsome young man, Qingrui learned that Wen Su is a more powerful existence than Mu Bai and Mu Han, but she is so young, she has already become the shopkeeper of Yanhua Mansion when she is only a teenager, and she is also in awe of Wen Su.
She smiled at Wen Su and said, "It's busy upstairs, and I don't have anything I can do to help, can I borrow the kitchen?" I'll make them some dim sum, and it just so happens that you can also try the special dim sum of our Chang Dynasty. β
Originally, Wen Su lowered his head, but after hearing Qing Rui's words, he glanced up at Qing Rui, and this glance crashed into Qing Rui's smiling pupils, Wen Su was stunned, and then quickly lowered his head and said, "In the back, I'll take Miss there." β
Now all the banquet buildings are in charge of Ruan Cailing, and the news that Ruan Cailing recognized Qingrui as her sister has also spread, so now Qingrui is also a member of the Ruan family, and Wen Su should also be called this young lady.
Following behind Wen Su, Qingrui said, "You don't have to call me Miss, you can just call me Qingrui." β
"But this ......"
"It's okay!"
Wen Su couldn't resist Qingrui, so he had to shout Qingrui according to her meaning, which made Qingrui laugh.
Many people in the back kitchen were busy, seeing that Wen Su personally led Qingrui to the back kitchen, and assigned someone to help her.
Ruan Cailing, who was contemplative upstairs, moved her hand slightly, and spilled a cup of tea without saying a word, and Mu Han, who was standing on the wall, hurriedly came over and caught the teacup that rolled off the table.
"Eh......" Ruan Cailing raised her hand, and it was already red.
The tea was freshly served, so it was very hot, and Ruan Cailing's fair skin was burned red all of a sudden.
"Does it hurt? Take the medicine box on a sunny day, ...... on a sunny day" Gu Jinxi grabbed Ruan Cailing's hand and subconsciously called for Qingrui to come over with the medicine box, but after shouting, everyone found that Qingrui was not in the room, and even Mu Bai, who was concentrating on reading, didn't find out when Qingrui left.
Ruan Cailing frowned, "When did Qingrui leave?" β
"I don't know." Su Bangyue said.
There was a hot pain on the back of her hand, Ruan Cailing took a breath, and she was even more worried about Qingrui's situation.
The book in Mu Bai's hand was closed and thrown to the side, and he immediately went out to find someone.
Behind the account counter, Wen Su was talking to the person beside him, his tone was serious and his expression was solemn, and he caught a glimpse of someone coming down in a hurry upstairs, he whispered to Xiao Er to leave, and raised his voice, "Second Brother Mu, why are you so anxious?" β
Mu Han is the eldest brother, so if you call Mu Bai, you can only call the second brother.
However, Mu Bai still remembered what Ruan Xuchen said yesterday that he and his eldest brother together were not Wen Su's opponents, and when he saw Wen Su, he wanted to compete with Wen Su.
"Have you seen Qingrui?" Mu Bai asked anxiously.
Wen Su nodded, pointed to the back kitchen and said, "In the back, she said that she couldn't help, so she was worried about helping you make some snacks." β
Knowing that Qingrui was in the back kitchen, Mu Bai was relieved, he took a long breath, propped his left hand on the account table, and the palm wind blew the account book.
"Then please find some scalding cream, the princess was burned by tea." After Mu Bai finished speaking, he walked straight to the back kitchen.
When Mu Bai turned to leave, Wen Su squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and Xiao Er on his side immediately found a medicine box and hugged him upstairs, Wen Su stared at Mu Bai's disappearing figure, and he suddenly remembered.
Ruan Cailing moved so quickly to recognize Qingrui as a sister, also for her identity when she was engaged, so it seems that Qingrui's fiancΓ© is Fang Cai, the second brother Mu.
Wen Su lowered his eyes and was silent, but the hand on his side clenched slightly.
"What do you say? Sister burned? How is it serious? Qingrui's hands were full of flour and rose powder and the like, and when she heard Mu Bai say that Ruan Cailing was hot, she was so frightened that the small jar in her hand fell down directly.
Mu Bai stretched out his hand to catch it, put it firmly on the stove, and said softly, "Isn't this calling you to go up and have a look!" You're gone in the blink of an eye, and the princess is still worried about you! β
"Okay, okay, I'll go up." The flour on Qingrui's handle was on the apron and ran directly upstairs.
The burn is not serious, and after taking the medicine, I don't feel anything, but it is cool and cool.
The red color also faded.
"How, does it hurt badly?" Gu Jinxi watched Mu Yifei close the medicine jar, got up to put the medicine bottle, and he sat opposite Ruan Cailing instead of Mu Yifei, gently holding Ruan Cailing's wrist to check.
Ruan Cailing said, "It's okay, and I don't blame me for not being careless, I didn't notice it when I was in a trance." β
"Miss." Qingrui hurriedly ran up and stood beside Ruan Cailing to check the scalds.
She was in a hurry and didn't notice that she habitually called Miss Ruan Cailing.
"Where have you been? It's all dangerous outside, and you don't know martial arts alone, don't run around. Ruan Cailing said.
Qingrui lowered her head and whispered, "I just don't think I can help, so I went to the kitchen to help everyone make some snacks, just now I saw that my sister-in-law and Shizi didn't eat much, and I think you may not be used to the taste of Sheng Guo." β
It's rare for Qingrui to be so careful, she has always been the most sensible, Ruan Cailing was worried about Qingrui's situation and didn't pay attention to her tone, and then softened her voice and said, "I'm worried about you." β
"It's also a shame that Qingtian is so careful, knowing that we are not used to the taste of Shengguo, it is indeed a little ......" Mu Yifei said very implicitly, after all, Chen Heng is a native of Shengguo, and he can't say anything bad about Shengguo in front of Chen Heng.
But to be honest, the taste of Sheng Guo is spicy and salty, and the taste of Chang Dynasty is elegant and sweet, and it is indeed not used to eating.
Mu Bai came back slowly behind Qing Rui, and as soon as he came in, Gu Jinxi immediately noticed that something was wrong.
Mu Bai's sword was unsheathed, and there was still a sharp edge on his body, which seemed to be a move.
"What? With whom did you do it? Gu Jinxi asked.
Mu Han, who was sitting in the innermost position by the window, immediately stood up as soon as he heard that Mu Bai had made a move.
After entering the house, Mu Bai closed the door and raised his left hand, there was a long blood mark from the back of his left hand to his elbow, and the blood was dripping down his arm and falling on the tablecloth.
The crowd was shocked.
"What's going on! Hurt so badly? β
Seeing Mu Bai's wound, everyone was surprised, even Cangxi squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Bai's wound carefully, the wound was neatly caused by a knife, this person's knife skills are very good, and there may be no blood on that person's knife.
Even Mu Bai's wound was cracked open after going upstairs.
Qingrui hurriedly took the medicine box in Mu Yifei's hand, pulled Mu Bai to sit inside, and carefully helped him wipe off the blood stains and bandage the medicine.
"I didn't see the person too clearly, he was dressed in black, wearing a hat and bowing his head, but he must be a man, taller than me and stronger than me, and his knife skills are so fast! My sword had just come out of its sheath, and the man's knife was almost at my side, and he was coming at my chest, and I ducked quickly to avoid hurting me, but he ...... He didn't seem to want to kill me directly. Mu Bai recalled the situation at that time.
At that time, Qingrui hurriedly ran upstairs, and Mu Bai remembered the storeroom where the head of the prince Huan was guarded, and when they were having breakfast just now, they brought up the room, which was only one door away at this time, so he thought about going out to have a look.
As a result, before he reached the door of the storeroom, he saw that the guards had fallen.
"I went over to check the situation, and I thought that the person was inside, but as soon as I lifted the person's body, I felt that there was danger approaching behind me, and immediately took out my sword, but I was also injured like this." Mu Bai said.
Mu Han had been standing quietly beside Mu Bai, watching Mu Bai's wound fall into silence.
Everyone present knew that Mu Bai's sword was extremely fast, and ordinary people had already separated before they could see Mu Bai's sword action.
"With a knife?" Cangxi asked.
Mu Bai nodded, "I saw that person's knife, I always felt that I had seen that knife somewhere, but I couldn't remember it now." β
"There are very few people who use knives in the rivers and lakes, and even fewer people who use them well. Cangxi said.
These things in the rivers and lakes must still be known more by Cangxi.
Tianji Pavilion is in charge of the world's intelligence, and Chen Heng and Gu Jinxi also understand that the so-called famous sword spectrum is a famous weapon, and the person who holds the weapon will also follow the famous knife spectrum.
Now this famous knife book is in Cangxi's hands.
But he didn't take it with him.
Mu Han said to Gu Jinxi, "Shizi, based on the speed at which Mu Bai's sword is unsheathed, who can be faster than him......"
Gu Jinxi's eyes also became extremely solemn, and he nodded heavily, "Yes, someone who is faster than Mu Bai can count them with one hand, but how can he appear in Shengguo?" Why did it appear in the backyard of Yanhua Building? β
Ruan Cailing immediately reacted, "What about Prince Huan's head?" Is it still there? She asked anxiously.
