Chapter 70: Murder and Silence
Regarding the matter of bathing Jiang Qingyue, it is almost a heart problem in Zhou Rui's peace of mind, when the two first met, Zhou Ruian doubted Jiang Qingyue's gender, and at that time he thought of a way to let Jiang Qingyue bathe him, so as to test her reaction.
As a result, Zhou Rui'an used all the beauty tricks, and in the end, he didn't try to find out the results, but in the end, he asked Jiang Qingyue to take a bath for him, which can be regarded as a success.
At that time, Zhou Ruian was still regretting, he should have asked him to wash Jiang Qingyue once, wouldn't the truth be revealed?
Now Zhou Ruian finally has this opportunity, it is bright and bright, and Jiang Qingyue can't refuse!
Zhou Ruian looked at Jiang Qingyue with innocent and upright eyes: "Look, the weather is getting warmer, how uncomfortable are you lying on the bed all the time?" I know you've always been happy, I see you're inconvenient, so I'm here to help you, am I particularly caring? Qingyue, will you be very impressed? ”
Jiang Qingyue didn't dare to move now, she really didn't dare to move.
"Can you call a maid?" Jiang Qingyue asked patiently.
Zhou Ruian thought for a while: "It's not impossible, but Qingyue, are you sure you want outsiders to know your gender?" Although the people in my house are quite reliable, I am worried about ...... just in case."
In fact, there is no such thing as a case, if his people can't even keep this secret, it is impossible to stay by his side, but Zhou Ruian doesn't plan to tell her about this fact.
In fact, Jiang Qingyue knows, but how to say it, this person sometimes has a thick-skinned life, Jiang Qingyue is thin-skinned, and he is not as open-minded as Zhou Rui'an, so what can he do, suffer a loss.
Zhou Rui'an saw Jiang Qingyue's sullen expression, so he laughed secretly in his heart, and diligently went to get a handkerchief and came out, and then went to untie Jiang Qingyue's clothes.
Jiang Qingyue was lying on the bed, her figure was already slender, and when she was lying on the couch at this time, her lines were even more smooth and slender, Zhou Rui'an's eyes couldn't help but stare and licked her lips that were a little dry.
Jiang Qingyue suddenly found out that the prince had lifted a stone to hit his own feet, thinking of this, her eyes turned, the corners of her lips were hooked, and she smiled softly at Zhou Ruian.
Zhou Rui'an's whole body stiffened, "Qingyue, are you seducing me?" There was a dull in his voice.
Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly: "Do I have it?" No, isn't this what you're trying to wipe me off? ”
Zhou Ruian felt that he might be going crazy, because Jiang Qingyue was slowly unbuttoning his coat, revealing his slender white arms, and he was just about to take a step forward, Jiang Qingyue said: "Then I'll come by myself, you just put the water aside." ”
Zhou Rui'an's eyes were fixed on Jiang Qingyue's body, holding the water, putting it aside, and then watching Jiang Qingyue clean himself up slowly and methodically.
She rubbed it very carefully, slowly and methodically, it was this kind of action, she did it without the slightest hint of seduction, but in his eyes, it had a fatal attraction.
Zhou Ruian felt that his whole body was hot, and when she finally finished wiping, he immediately stood up: "Back, back, I'll help you." ”
Jiang Qingyue sighed secretly, but he still couldn't hide, so he turned over and lay on the bed, revealing his smooth back, his hand gently caressed her skin, and the smooth touch made him sigh, and he couldn't help but swim on his delicate back.
Suddenly, Jiang Qingyue reached out and grabbed his arm: "Don't touch it." ”
Zhou Ruian was aggrieved: "I didn't, what I didn't think about was itself, you know, it had to move by itself." ”
Jiang Qingyue sneered, "Okay, don't wipe it, I'm fine." ”
Zhou Ruian was even more aggrieved: "I didn't wipe it well." ”
Jiang Qingyue had already put on his clothes, and when he got up, he hesitated in his movements, and Zhou Rui'an's eyes became more and more depressed.
Jiang Qingyue got dressed, looked at Zhou Rui'an and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, it's not early, I'm going to rest, please go back." ”
Zhou Ruian looked at her smiling face and touched his nose: "Qingyue, you cross the river and tear down the bridge?" ”
"yes."
Zhou Ruian looked at her with a straightforward face of 'what can you do with me', and finally was helplessly discouraged, he really couldn't do anything to her.
Zhou Rui'an ate the closed door, turned around obediently and walked out.
Jiang Qingyue looked at him with a depressed face, and couldn't help but chuckle, and just as he was about to lie down, he heard Zhou Rui'an's voice outside the door: "Luobei!" Go get me bath water, ask for cold water! ”
"Cold-watered? Master, although the weather is warm, bathing in cold water is too hurtful. Luo Bei said with concern.
Luo Bei is really a good subordinate, this is all for the sake of Zhou Rui'an, it is really heartbreaking.
Zhou Ruian glanced at him, sneered and said, "What do people like you who have never been married, understand?" ”
Luobei: "......"
It's as if he was married himself! Not happy! This is simply discriminating against bachelors! It's not his fault that he didn't get married!
"You, you didn't send me a girl, really, and you didn't think about pointing a girl to me." Luo Bei couldn't help but mutter: "Then how can you blame me for not getting married?" ”
Zhou Rui'an glanced at him disdainfully: "Even the girl wants me to find you a ready-made?" Luobei, are you a little too useless? ”
Luo Bei once again felt the deep malice from their master! But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Jiang Qingyue was put upside down by Zhou Rui'an.
When Luo Bei thought of this, he felt a little entangled: "Then master, do you think I will have to get involved in the future?" Am I going to start saving my dowry too? ”
Zhou Ruian raised his eyebrows, and then said in a flat tone: "You think too much, you have to divide people, if you are not good enough, you won't even have a chance to get rich." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Ruian couldn't help but puff up his chest proudly, looking quite complacent.
Luobei: "......" is so angry! Not happy!
Zhou Rui'an went to take a cold shower, soaked for an hour, Luobei fell asleep, heard Zhou Rui'an's voice getting up, and muttered: "If you succeed in getting in, don't you still have to go to a cold shower?" I'm not looking for a daughter-in-law, I'm not stupid! He turned around and fell into a deep sleep.
Chen Xiu'er's injury was progressing in an orderly manner, and the second prince came to visit Jiang Qingyue again, and also mentioned her.
"Next time, you can't do this again, what's important about hurting yourself for a woman? Let you not cherish yourself so much. The second prince said disapprovingly.
Zhou Rui'an agreed with this, he smiled and said: "Not now, I have found a doctor who can treat Miss Xiu'er's madness, and she will be cured soon, after all, she is the only survivor of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and now that her illness is cured, it is also a progress in the case." ”
The second prince bowed slightly, he didn't care about the case of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, he looked at Jiang Qingyue: "Tuoba is just going back, he still asked me about you, I heard that you were injured and came to see you, and I pushed him." ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded: "The fourth prince is gone, and the second highness can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”
The second prince smiled and said, "It's all for my father," and as he spoke, the second prince stood up: "Qingyue, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first, and I'll come to visit you another day." ”
Jiang Qingyue nodded, and Zhou Ruian got up to send him out.
The second prince originally planned to go back to deal with official business, after all, Tuoba was just leaving, and he had a lot of things to deal with, but unexpectedly, the queen mother sent someone to find him.
The second prince went directly to the palace and went to see the queen.
The queen came to the second prince for Chen Xiuer's business.
"A few days ago, your father made trouble with the assassins, I heard that you brought people in to save them? But is it true? The queen asked.
The second prince was a little suspicious, and he didn't understand why the queen suddenly cared about this matter, in his opinion, this matter had nothing to do with the queen.
The second prince bowed slightly: "That's the case, Queen Mother, what's wrong?" ”
"Do you know who that man is?"
The second prince said: "I know, it's a girl, called Chen Xiu'er, she is crazy, and somehow, my father has to see her, Chen Xiu'er is mentally incomplete, she went crazy in front of her father, and was almost killed as an assassin, but it was just a misunderstanding, and now it has been resolved." After a pause, he looked at the queen and said suspiciously: "Queen Mother, what's wrong?" ”
The queen's eyes flashed, and her brows frowned slightly: "Why did your father suddenly think of seeing this person?" ”
"I heard that she is the only survivor of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and my father probably thought of this case, so he wanted to meet her." The second prince said casually.
The second prince was not interested in Weiyuan Dart Game and Chen Xiu'er, so he didn't know why the queen mother cared so much about this matter.
The queen mother glanced at him: "What about you?" Why are you involved? ”
"It's Qingyue, Qingyue wants to save this Chen Xiu'er, so I did a favor, and it's not a big deal." The second prince said indifferently.
When the second prince mentioned Jiang Qingyue, his tone was cordial and familiar, and at first glance, the relationship was different.
The queen's face sank, and she said angrily: "Nonsense! You're a dignified prince to do a favor to a commoner? Do you know how much the queen mother planned for your position as the prince, but you went to confront your father for such a person? What is it worth if a person loses his mind and goes crazy, and dies when he dies? ”
The queen wished that Chen Xiu'er would die immediately!
The second prince looked inexplicable: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" That Chen Xiu'er is about to be cured, and it is not that it cannot be cured. ”
"Cured?" The queen was stunned for a moment: "Can you still be cured of madness?" ”
"It was Zhou Rui'an who found someone to treat him, Chen Xiu'er's eldest brother Lin Zheyuan had a close relationship with Zhou Rui'an, so he asked him for help, and Zhou Rui'an didn't know where to find the doctor, but he really cured the person." The second prince said.
The queen's face gradually sank.
The second prince saw her pensive, and didn't know where she went, so he didn't care: "Queen Mother, if it's okay, I'll retire first, Tuoba is just going back, I have to prepare." ”
The queen mother nodded absentmindedly, and the second prince took the opportunity to retreat.
At night, the whole house was quiet, and a silent black figure fell silently in the courtyard.
The door was pushed open, and there was a slight noise, which seemed abrupt in the silence of the night.
Chen Xiu'er slept on the bed without knowing anything, with a quiet smile on her face, because of the treatment in the past few days, her mood gradually became stable, and she could sleep well.
A flash of white light flashed, and the dagger was about to swing down!
Suddenly, a long sword blocked his dagger, and there was a thud when the weapons collided.
The man in black was startled, he knew that this was a bureau, and when he turned around, he wanted to run out, but Shen Yanniang was already waiting there in front of the door, watching the person come out, and threw it over with a whip.
The man in black dodged in a hurry, but the range of the long whip attack was too large, and there was no way to avoid it, and he also hit Lin Zheyuan behind him.
"Miss Shen! Can you look at the dots and don't hurt your own people by mistake! Lin Zheyuan couldn't bear to say.
"Don't talk nonsense, this girl helped you catch the killer, you still have so much to do!" Shen Yanniang choked back.
Lin Zheyuan and Shen Yanniang joined forces, and the killer was one against two, not an opponent at all, and he was soon defeated and entangled by Shen Yanniang's whip.
"Martial arts are good, why be a thief." Shen Yanniang pretended to sigh.
Lin Zheyuan couldn't help but chuckle lightly, glanced at her, and always felt that these words came out of Shen Yanniang's mouth, and he felt a little ironic inexplicably? She can't forget what she used to do, right?
Shen Yanniang glared back with a straight face: "What are you looking at?!" ”
Where is Lin Zheyuan's opponent of Shen Yanniang? Touching his nose, he felt that the assassin was easier to deal with than Shen Yanniang.
That's right, the Assassins.
Lin Zheyuan stepped forward and wanted to pull down the black cloth on the assassin's face: "I didn't expect it to be really said by the prince of the world, and someone really came to kill Xiu'er." ”
Taking off the black cloth, the assassin was about to bite the poison hidden in his mouth, but Lin Zheyuan pinched his jaw and couldn't help but say with some pride: "Suicide? I also thought of it, hahaha, the prince is really wise and martial. ”
Shen Yanniang shook her head helplessly, "Early tomorrow morning, let's send the person to the prince and ask him to find out the identity of this person." ”
Lin Zheyuan nodded, he knew that this assassin was inseparable from the mastermind behind the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, he couldn't wait to ignore it, and he still had to hand it over to Zhou Rui'an.
The Assassin's brow furrowed deeply.
At dawn the next day, Lin Zheyuan and Shen Yanniang sent the assassin to Zhou Rui'an, and the assassin kept his head down, and his mood was quite calm.
Shen Yanniang raised the assassin's head and instantly met Zhou Rui'an's eyes.
Zhou Rui'an's eyes flickered on the assassin's face, and he couldn't help but show a meaningful smile: "Xu Tianhai, the commander of the guards of Zhengkun Palace, actually learned to climb the wall in the middle of the night to assassinate, and finally missed, is the queen really an incompetent person?" ”
Shen Yanniang and Lin Zheyuan were both shocked, even if they were from the rivers and lakes, they knew that Zhengkun Palace was the name of the Empress Zhenggong's bedroom, and this assassin turned out to be the commander of the guards of Zhengkun Palace?
What is this concept? The most powerful henchman by the queen's side, responsible for protecting the queen's safety, such a person actually came to assassinate a weak woman?
As Zhou Rui'an said, it is really a shame to assassinate a woman with such an identity and fail in the end.
"Zhou Rui'an, don't spew blood! Splashing dirty water on the queen, this is my grudge with Weiyuan Dart Bureau, and it has nothing to do with anyone! "Xu Tianhai is also a little bloody, and he didn't confess to the queen.
Zhou Ruian hooked the corners of his lips: "It's a loyal protector, but I don't know, will your master be grateful for your loyalty, or will he go back and send someone to destroy your Manmen?" ”
Xu Tianhai's expression froze, lowered his head, and stopped speaking.
Lin Zheyuan was a little speechless, and wanted to ask what to do next.
Zhou Ruian glanced at him and said lightly: "You go back first, he hasn't gone back for so long, presumably his master already knows that his action failed, maybe he will send someone to come again, you go and guard Chen Xiu'er, don't make a mistake, I will ask Luobei to transfer two people to help you when I go back." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shizi." Lin Zheyuan said sincerely.
Lin Zheyuan is really grateful to Zhou Rui'an, if it weren't for Zhou Rui'an's reminder this time, Chen Xiu'er might have had an accident, and the rest of the matter would have to rely on Zhou Rui'an, so Lin Zheyuan's thanks were sincere.
Zhou Ruian smiled noncommittally, and sent Lin Zheyuan and Shen Yanniang away, he slowly served a bowl of porridge, which was prepared for Jiang Qingyue, as for Xu Tianhai, who was kneeling in the hall, it seemed that he had forgotten about it.
Luo Bei walked in, glanced at Xu Tianhai and said, "Master, the things over there have been arranged." ”
"Hmm."
"Master, what should I do with this person?" Luo Bei continued to ask.
Zhou Rui'an stopped his movements and glanced at Xu Tianhai playfully with his chin propped up: "You say, I will notify the second prince now and ask him to come over to receive people, will the second prince come?" And what will be his expression? ”
Luobei: "...... master, you can really play, this is too bad."
Xu Tianhai's expression suddenly froze, and he raised his head: "Zhou Rui'an!" Killing people is not enough! You're going to kill me, you're going to come at me! ”
"Like you did with Weiyuan Dart?" Zhou Ruian asked with interest.
Xu Tianhai's expression was cold: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"I don't know? Okay," Zhou Rui'an nodded: "Then you just wait to go to Dali Temple." ”
After Zhou Rui'an finished speaking, he stood up, it was impossible for him to delay delivering food to Jiang Qingyue for such a trivial matter.
Jiang Qingyue had already woken up, she heard the noise outside, and only when she saw Zhou Rui'an coming did she ask about the things outside.
"It's nothing, it's just that you caught two rats yesterday, you don't have to worry." Zhou Ruian said with a smile.
This is obviously avoiding the important and light, Jiang Qingyue is a little helpless, who let her get hurt now?
"I know what you're going to do in the future is extraordinary, but I still hope that you don't hurt innocent people as much as possible." Jiang Qingyue thought about it and said to Zhou Rui'an.
Zhou Rui'an's movements paused, met her gaze, and smiled slightly: "Okay, I promise you." ”
But what he hurt was not innocent, but Zhou Ruian didn't plan to tell her this.
Zhou Rui'an sent Luobei to Dali Temple to ask Guan Youwei to come over, but Guan Youwei of course refused to come easily.
Luo Bei said with a smile: "Since Lord Guan has something to do, it is inconvenient, it doesn't matter, our master said that it is the same to go to the Criminal Department." ”
Guan Youwei immediately became anxious: "Slow, the official will go with you!" ”
Luo Bei smiled and said calmly, "Lord Guan, please." ”
When Guan Youwei and Luobei arrived at Zhou's house, they saw Xu Tianhai who was tied up by five flowers in the living room, Guan Youwei is also an important minister of the imperial court, so he has naturally seen Xu Tianhai.
Guan Youwei looked surprised: "This ......"
Fortunately, Guan Youwei still has some brains, and he didn't call Zhou Ruian to privately imprison the court officials, otherwise Luo Bei could spray him to death.
Luo Bei unhurriedly took out a complaint: "This is sent by the Lin Dart Master next door this morning, Xu Tianhai tried to murder Chen Xiu'er, the only survivor of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau yesterday, the matter was revealed, Xu Tianhai was arrested on the spot, Lin Dart Master asked for our master's body, our master thought that for the country and the people, this matter can not be ignored, but Xu Tianhai's identity is special, it is related to the face of the mother of the country, the dignity of the royal family, and it is because our master sent me to invite Lord Guan to come over." After a pause, he continued: "Otherwise, if you directly send the prisoner to Dali Temple, if Dali Temple does not dare to accept it, it will embarrass Lord Guan." ”
After Luo Bei finished speaking, he looked at Guan Youwei with a smile, as if asking him, do you dare to accept this prisoner?
Guan Youwei has always regarded uprightness as a proud capital, of course he can't say that he doesn't dare to accept it, but even if he dares to accept it, this is also the commander of the guards beside the queen's mother.
Guan Youwei secretly scolded Zhou Rui'an in his heart, this is obviously because Zhou Rui'an didn't want to face the queen's mother, so he specially came to him to be this bird, and he caught Xu Tianhai and picked himself up.
What a little slippery head! Guan Youwei cursed secretly in his heart, the same as the King of Jin back then.
"The prince is not only superb, but also very good at digging pits!" Guan Youwei looked at Luo Bei and said with a smile.
Luo Bei smiled at him good-naturedly: "Then Lord Guan, this pit, do you want to jump or not?" ”
Guan Youwei couldn't help but clench his fists, "Jump!" Thanks to the prince of the world, this official can't let the prince down! ”
Luo Bei said: "I'll send the adults back." ”
Guan Youwei took Xu Tianhai out of Zhou's mansion and found that Luobei didn't even prepare a carriage for him, so he had to take Xu Tianhai to swagger through the city, and walk back to Dali Temple from here, which is no different from parade streets!
The corners of Guan Youwei's mouth twitched, and he didn't know if this queen had offended Zhou Rui'an, and she wanted to be targeted by Zhou Rui'an like this?
Fortunately, Guan Youwei is also accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, so he walked back to Dali Temple on foot with people.
When Guan Youwei returned to Dali Temple, the news that the queen mother's guard commander was arrested also spread throughout the capital, and the first one to know was the second prince.
As his mother, the queen mother is inseparable from the relationship between the two princes, and he soon sent someone to Dali Temple to inquire about the news, but Guan Youwei has been sorting out Dali Temple since the file of the Chen family's extermination case was lost last time, and now it is like an iron bucket, and the slightest bit of news can not be inquired.
