Chapter 190: Assassin of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Although Jian Xiu's expression was still peaceful, his eyes were a little more anxious, and he was worried that he would be frozen outside on such a cold night.
was dressed in the coat of Jian Xiu, and Liu Piaoyi knew that he was coming, and looked back with a blank look.
"Y- why are you awake?" She was a little vague, hiding her emotions just now, and laughed faintly.
Jian Xiu pulled her body, let her look at herself, and sat under the porch with her, her face full of doubts, "Yi'er, but if you have something on your mind, you can tell me if there is anything unpleasant in your heart, I am your husband." β
Liu Piao was stunned, and then laughed, "No, I just can't sleep." β
Jian Xiu's eyes condensed, but he still said very gently, "Did you encounter something in Liwan Village this time?" Tell me. β
Seeing that he was expecting himself to tell the reason, Liu Piaoyi froze, if he didn't say it, he should also guess in his heart, might as well -
"I-I met Ling Yunyi in the woods on the hillside of Liwan Village, and he actually wanted to kill me." She kept sneaking her eyes into his expression to see how he reacted.
She said it very positively, not as if she was lying, Jian Xiu frowned, "Lord Ling? He's going to kill you? β
Jian Xiu couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it, how could the dignified Lord Shangshu of the military department kill his wife.
"Why?" He didn't understand.
"Jian Xiuβ" Liu Piao's heart was a little anxious, wanting to tell him who she was, but she hesitated.
On that day, someone from the White Lotus Sect appeared, and she was present that day. Ling Yunyi wouldn't think that it was just a coincidence. That day, her eyes were poisonous, and Ling Yunyi felt it, so she did it.
"Yi'erβ" Seeing her hesitation, he immediately woke her up, "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I'm your husband." β
He repeatedly stressed that he just wanted her to trust him, no matter what she would say, he wanted her to understand that he and she were family.
A wry smile appeared on Liu Piao's face: "Jian Xiu, if I were a bad person, what would you think of me?" β
A trace of grievance appeared on her face, she was sad, raised a pair of beautiful eyes, looked at Jian Xiu, and a trace of tears was faintly visible.
And her feeling of being aggrieved and forbearable in the past will arouse his pity, but he didn't expect that Ji'er would suddenly ask such a thing, and after being stunned for a while, he said casually, "Yi'er is a gentle and kind person, how can she be a bad person-" Seeing her staring at her without blinking, her expression turned out to be that her words were not said casually, maybe they were true. Jian Xiu immediately said, "Even if you are really a bad person, you are also my wife, and a woman can protect herself if she is bad, there is nothing bad." β
"That's what you really think?" She asked rhetorically, "Even if I'm a heinous bad person, you don't care?!" β
Jian Xiu smiled, "How bad can you be, it's hard to kill someone." β
"What if I did kill someone!" There was an affirmative tone in her cold expression.
Seeing his confused and unbelieving appearance when he heard this, a cold sneer appeared in Liu Piao's eyes, "Are you disappointed in me, I am not the gentle and lovely woman in your mind, what I am, you don't know at all." β
Jian Xiu's eyes flickered, he bit his lip lightly, and stared for a moment before asking softly, "Even if you are really a heinous bad person, you are also my wife, and in my heart you are you no matter what." β
Liu Piao's thoughtful gaze fell on his face, and the corners of his mouth sneered, "Aren't you afraid of implicating you, implicating the Prime Minister?!" β
Jian Xiu's eyes deepened a little, and his eyes shrank sharply.
Her gaze still fell on Jian Xiu, with a little scrutiny, and she laughed. He is still afraid, and it is impossible not to be afraid of implicating the Prime Minister.
got up, didn't want to say anything more, but was grabbed by him, Jian Xiu looked at her with complicated eyes, "Can you tell me, did you kill someone?" I'm not worried about whether you're going to implicate me or this prime minister, I'm worried about your safety. If you kill anyone, it must be that person who deserves to die. β
At this time, Liu Piaoyi lost the heart to speak, his face sank like water, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Jian Xiu coldly, but saw that his deep eyes were longing, expectation, and wanting to know everything.
His hands were a little cold, but he didn't seem to feel anything in this cold night, and he held her hand tightly.
Liu Piao's eyebrows rose like a crescent moon, and he replied with a provocative look, and his tone was cold, "No matter who I kill, you don't care about people like me?" β
Jian Xiu's eyes lit up at the moment, and his voice was low, "There are many people who died in my hands, but they all deserve to die, could it be that I am also a bad person?" β
Time seemed to stand still, silent, the two of them looked at each other silently for a moment, and then Jian Xiu asked again, "Ji'er, you haven't said why Lord Ling wants to kill you?" β
At this moment, there was a sound of "......", followed by a silver light galloping, bringing a strong wind. Liu Piaoyi saw the sharp arrow flying from Jian Xiu's back, and without thinking about it, he raised his hand and pushed Jian Xiu away vigorously. Liu Piaoyi tried to dodge the sharp arrow, but the arrow had already shot, and her body did not have time to completely set it aside, just like that, the sharp arrow pierced straight into her right shoulder.
Jian Xiu was shocked by this scene, and was about to reach out to help her, but then there was a "......" sound, and another sharp arrow flew in.
Jian Xiu quickly flashed his body, picked up Liu Piaoyi, and turned around to avoid the incoming arrows. Let go of her, and then Jian Xiu flew away towards the wall, angrily trying to catch the archer.
Because his right shoulder was injured by a sharp arrow, coupled with his weakness and tiredness, Liu Piaoyi felt that there was chaos in front of him, and his consciousness was a little distracted.
She even felt her body getting weaker and weaker, and in the next moment, she would pass out.
On the top of the wall, Jian Xiu didn't notice that the thief was worried about Liu Piaoyi's injury, and immediately flew back, hugging her when she was dizzy and about to fall.
"Someoneβ"
A long cry sounded in Qinghui Garden.
Suddenly, Chunlin Huaying was awakened, and the others in the house were also alarmed. After the guards in the front yard came, Jian Xiu asked them to search for the thieves who entered the mansion and committed murder.
Hua Ying immediately went to call He Baolin, knocked on the door for a long time, He Baolin opened the door from the house wearing his underwear, looked sleepy and unconscious, and asked, "What is the matter with being so anxious in the middle of the night?" β
Hua Ying couldn't wait, because she was running and panting, "Quick, the fourth young grandmother was injured by an arrow, go quickly." β
As soon as He Baolin heard this, he immediately went back to the house, put on his clothes, picked up the medicine box, and ran to Qinghui Garden behind Hua Ying. Along the way, the guards in the palace were searching everywhere, and the servants and the masters of each courtyard were also awakened, and some were walking towards Qinghui Garden.
In He Baolin's hurry, the second young master Chi Xiu had already put on his clothes and was on the side of the road, and immediately heard a dull and magnetic voice: "What's the matter?" I heard that there were assassins in the house, who was injured? β
He Baolin replied to him, "Fourth young grandmother." After speaking, the footsteps did not stop, and walked in the direction of Qinghui Garden.
When Chi Xiu heard this, his face was stunned, and he put on his clothes and followed.
When Chi Xiu arrived at the gate of Qinghui Garden, the family members who came from different directions all looked panicked, especially Yun Xiu, who hurried over with injuries on his arms.
Chi Xiu smiled, "The fifth brother is positive. β
Yun Xiu just ignored the blazing cultivation of the eyes, and without saying a word, he hurried into the gate of Qinghui Garden.
In the inner room, Jian Xiu looked at Liu Piao's white arms with scarlet blood, and his black eyes were instantly dyed with fierce wind and waves.
"Paulin, heal quickly."
He Baolin, who had already cut the sleeves on Liu Piaoyi's arm on the side, hurriedly replied, "Fourth young master, don't be nervous, the fourth young grandmother just injured her arm, her life is fine, don't worry." β
The sharp arrow pierced a little deep, but fortunately it did not hurt the vital point.
pulled out the arrow, and Liu Piao, who was fainting, was also woken up by pain, and his pale face twitched, but he was still unconscious.
Jian Xiu was so distressed that he almost cried, and his brows furrowed deeply.
After taking the medicine and bandaging it, He Baolin said again, "Fourth young master, fourth young grandmother is fine, just rest more and heal your injuries." β
The worried look on Jian Xiu's face, even if He Baolin said this, it still didn't fade for half a minute, and he still stayed by the bedside worriedly, staring at the sleeping woman on the bed without blinking.
He Baolin picked up the medicine compartment and walked out of the inner room to the hall with interest, several young masters in the house were there, Yun Xiu, Chi Xiu, Min Xiu, except for the eldest young master Jing Xiu.
When Yun Xiu saw He Baolin coming out, he immediately stood up and asked him, "How is Ji'er?" β
He Baolin replied respectfully, "The fourth young grandmother's vital signs are calm, it's fine, it's just that she was injured by an arrow in her arm." β
Hearing that he was worried about his life, Yun Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that there are assassins in the Prime Minister's Mansion?! It is not a trivial matter that the dignified Xiangguo Mansion actually entered the assassin without being discovered and injured the fourth young grandmother. Yun Xiu stared at the door of the inner room and walked out of the door.
Min Xiu followed, and as soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, Liang Yezheng, the commander of the Fuzhong Nursing Hospital, came to pay his respects, "Third Young Master, Fifth Young Master, no suspicious people have been found in the house." β
Yun Xiu's always warm eyes were cold at this time, his thin red lips hooked up a cold arc, and the murderous aura around his body was awe-inspiring, "Find, look thoroughly, every corner of the mansion is completely searched, there are assassins in the mansion of the dignified Xiangguo, if you can't find a suspicious person, you will confess yourself!" β
Liang Ye was stunned, and Min Xiu added expressionlessly, "Didn't you hear it?!" β
"Yes, yes, my subordinates will go." Liang Ye hurriedly gave up his hand and immediately ran back, busily leading the guards in the mansion to rummage through again.
The eldest young master Jing Xiu and the eldest young grandmother Mei Xinyue came urgently at this time, and Min Xiu and Yun Xiu saluted the eldest brother and sister-in-law with bad looks.
"There is such a big movement in the house, I ask my subordinates not to alarm my father and mother, so as not to worry. There are assassins in the house, and the fourth sister is injured? Jing Xiu stared at the two of them and said.
Min Xiu nodded.
Mei Xinyue immediately stepped into the door and hurried to the inner room.
The room was silent, Jian Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and kept looking at Liu Piao's face, his eyes were full of self-blame, blaming himself for not realizing that there was a flying arrow, but let Ji'er block an arrow for himself.
Mei Xinyue frowned, stood quietly on the side of the bed and glanced at Liu Piaoyi, and then comforted Jian Xiu, "It's okay if you're fine." β
Jian Xiu glanced sideways at Mei Xinyue, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's disturbing that my sister-in-law is sleepy, it's okay to remember my son-in-law, sister-in-law go back and rest, I'll just keep it." β
Mei Xinyue looked at the person on the bed again, so she had to respond, "Okay." β
