Chapter 180: The Last Candidate
The imprint of osmanthus oil, like an open-book exam, gave Cheng Qi all the answers.
And Wan Jingjing, who noticed the abnormality, opened her eyes, her dark brown eyes trembled slightly, and then she looked up cautiously, and after meeting Cheng Qi's gaze, her whole person instantly tensed.
Cheng Qi was holding the quilt and the corner was not loosened, Wan Jingjing realized that she was exposed, so she gritted her teeth and pulled the quilt back with her feet, and then sat and leaned, looking at Cheng Qi with hatred.
Because of Han Yi's current tragic situation, almost the entire third floor of the people gathered at the Xuan window, and everyone pointed at the unlucky person, but they didn't notice the two people who were one policeman and one crime.
"Wan Jingjing."
Ask herself, Cheng Qi doesn't have the heart to bring the culprit in front of her to justice now, after all, all this is what Han Yi deserves, but she wants to know why Wan Jingjing did this.
What happened to the bath room before the fire?
"You set the fire, didn't you?" Cheng Qi asked in a low voice.
Wan Jingjing pulled the quilt at her chin, she looked at Cheng Qi cautiously, and then looked at the show girls next to the window who were watching Han Yi's lively relish, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Do you want to sue me?" ”
Cheng Qi thought about it, didn't nod or shake his head, just sat calmly on the edge of her tent bed, and said, "When you were in the bath room just now, what happened to you and Han Yi?" ”
Wan Jingjing's eyes widened, and the anger and unwillingness in her face almost rushed to her face, she heard Cheng Qi's question, and seemed to want to vomit quickly, but she had been Han Yi's dog leg for so many years, and she knew very well what to say and what not to say, and she knew that there was more right and wrong under her tongue.
One less word is one less potential trouble.
"Nothing."
Wan Jingjing shrunk herself tightly in the quilt and said, "If you won't sue me, then please stay away from me, the farther away the better." Swallowing slightly, in the end, he was a half-old child, and he was discovered by Cheng Qi when he did such a thing, and he was very flustered, "Cheng Qi, don't be nosy." ”
Cheng Qi lowered his eyes and raised his eyes, and his redundant eyelashes shook out a slight sneer, which made Wan Jingjing, who was already weak and about to collapse, feel tormented: "You...... What are you laughing at. ”
Cheng Qi is also an adult no matter what she says, and she is a criminal policeman, and she is the best at psychological analysis, she fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist indifferently, and said lightly: "The reason why you set the fire, in the final analysis, is just a quarrel with Han Yi, Han Yi said a few words, which made you angry and did this impulsive thing, but Wan Jingjing, you are wrong, you are very wrong." ”
Wan Jingjing looked at Cheng Qi suspiciously, and said uneasily: "What am I wrong?" "She deceived people too much, this is the retribution she deserves, Cheng Qi, don't forget, that person almost drowned you in the first place.
"I naturally remember all kinds of evil deeds she did to me, and even to the show girls in the building." Cheng Qi stood in the position of ordinary people rather than police officers and said, "And I said that you did something wrong, and you saved Han Yi's life." ”
Wan Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand the deep meaning of Cheng Qi's words, and immediately trembled.
"I ...... I ......"
She stumbled and couldn't speak, twisted herself hard, pulled back a trace of reason from the pain, and then said stiffly: "I...... I didn't want to kill her at first. ”
Cheng Qi didn't care, and said coldly: "If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly." Turning her head to look at the window, those show girls still hadn't dispersed, she kept sneering, "It's okay now, it's just burns, but the naked body was seen by a foreign man, and the skin was ruined, which is more painful than killing her directly." ”
Wan Jingjing lowered her head, refusing to lift it up, only the jade pendant in her ear swayed, to show that the storm in her heart was raging, up and down like a roller coaster.
Cheng Qi continued: "Han Yi is not dead, when she wakes up, she will definitely settle accounts with you." ”
Wan Jingjing's eyes were red, not crying with guilt, but scared, she was also impulsive and thoughtful at the time, and it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes when she killed someone for the first time.
However, who would have thought that Han Yi was not dead, with her temperament, as Cheng Qi said, she would never let go of herself, Wan Jingjing clutched the quilt tightly, and tears fell unconsciously.
Her mind was now in a mess, she couldn't distinguish between priorities and priorities, extreme panic hit her heart, she almost screamed out to attract attention, Wan Jingjing covered her mouth violently, trembling like a sieve.
Cheng Qi looked at her like this, didn't say anything, got up and reached out to touch the top of her hair, and walked up to the second floor slowly, everything tonight was no longer worth her distraction.
Cheng Qi lay on the tent bed, touched her soft pillow with her hand, and the medicine bottle that could save her from entering the palace was quietly placed, she turned over and took it out.
Ma Zhen walked back from the Xuan window, sat next to her and looked at her, and said lightly: "This is the medicine to remove scars and restore the face?" ”
Cheng Qi nodded silently, then pulled out the stopper, dipped it with his fingers, took a deep breath, and slowly applied it to his wound, and the cold slight stinging intent hit instantly.
"Shhhh
Cheng Qi said softly.
Ma Zhen lay on her side and looked at her, and said with concern: "What? Does it hurt? ”
Cheng Qi responded, in fact, the medicine didn't hurt when applied to the wound, but the panic of imminent disfigurement would aggravate the psychological pain, she gritted her teeth, and remembered what Fang had just said to Wan Jingjing.
- To do it, it must be done thoroughly.
Cheng Qi simply applied some more to the wound, and then continued to lie down as usual, quietly waiting for tomorrow to come.
…
…
"Cheng Qi? Cheng Qi! ”
In a trance, she seemed to hear Cheng Yan's voice, Cheng Qi felt as if she was pressed under a stone, she pushed it up with great effort, but she couldn't exert her strength.
"Cheng Qi! Wake me up! ”
Cheng Yan seemed to be jumping up and down in her ears again, and Cheng Qi herself began to get anxious, this time it was like driving a duck to drown, she swam fiercely, and finally saw a glimmer of light overhead.
While opening her eyes suddenly, Cheng Qi also gasped, the darkness was finally dispelled by the light, she blinked tiredly, her eyelashes were like a heavy thousand catties, and even her eyeballs were dry.
At the same time, the pain on the right side of her face began to sneak up on her nerves like a slippery snake, and Cheng Qi turned her head with difficulty and saw the man standing by the bed.
Sure enough, Cheng Yan, who had been shouting to himself in a coma, had obvious dark blue under the man's eyes, and the clothes on his body were slightly wrinkled, although they were not dirty, Cheng Qi could tell that this person had not changed his clothes for at least two days, and the bloodshot on the white eyeballs and the dry skin on his mouth all reflected Cheng Yan's worries.
"Awake?"
Cheng Yan spoke calmly, but his voice was a little hoarse that had not been over the water for a long time, he slowly raised his steps, but there was a stiff and sore feeling at his knees that he had stood for too long, and sat down on the edge of the table, he said, "You have been in a coma for three days and three nights." ”
Cheng Qi stared when she heard this, moved slightly, and her whole body seemed to be scattered, but fortunately, Cheng Qi was slightly injured and couldn't get out of the line of fire, she sat up hard, and said incredibly dumb...... Three days and three nights? ”
Cheng Yan took a sip of the tea that had already cooled down, and said, "Yes, the wound on your face is infected and inflamed, causing the high fever to persist for a long time, and it is useless for Zhou Laolang to cut off those carrions." ”
"Cutting meat?"
When Cheng Qi heard these two words, he jumped up and down his body, pointed to his wound, and asked again as a certainty: "Cutting meat?" You mean... A piece of flesh was shaved off my face? ”
"Yes." Cheng Yan frowned, and subconsciously glanced at the position of the dressing table, for fear that Cheng Qi would look in the mirror, and then said in detail what happened, "That's the case, the medicine you applied that night to remove scars and restore your face was adulterated with maggots that can put people's skin to rot, you applied too much dose, which made the wound infected, and you also fainted because of high fever. ”
After hearing this, Cheng Qi didn't feel anything, but reached out and gently touched the piece of gauze wrapped around the wound, secretly shocked, he didn't expect such a big piece of meat to rot.
"Don't touch it."
Cheng Yan's tone was obviously very impatient and hidden, he got up and opened Cheng Qi's hand, stuffed the newly poured warm tea into Cheng Qi's hand, and said, "Drink this, I'll go downstairs and ask Qingmiao to bring the replacement medicine." ”
Cheng Qi nodded, now as soon as she spoke, she would pull the muscles on her face, making the wound painful, she saw Cheng Yan turn around, suddenly grabbed his sleeve again, and asked inexplicably: "Then you... How long have you been with me? ”
Cheng Yan's hand moved slightly, glanced at the past, and said coldly: "Just came." ”
This person has always been a knife-mouthed tofu heart, Cheng Qi raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled, anyway, she knew in her heart how long that person had stayed, and then let go of her hand and said, "I'm so hungry." ”
"What do you want to eat?" Cheng Yandao.
Cheng Qi thought for a while and said casually: "Caramel bread, banana milk." ”
Cheng Yan frowned violently, from the analysis of the expression on his face, it seemed that he was angry, and it seemed to be dull, he didn't answer Cheng Qi's words, he just shook off his sleeves and went downstairs.
Soon after he went downstairs, a group of people led by Aunt Meng came up in a swarm, and the woman didn't care about any rules, so she sat down next to her, held hands and burst into tears: "Desert, you're awake!" ”
This person rushed too hard and sat too hard, causing the tent bed to jolt up and down twice, Cheng Qi looked at Aunt Meng who was about to split in surprise, coughed twice, and hurriedly said, "Wake up...... Woke up. ”
Aunt Meng pinched her chin and looked left and right, the worry in her eyes lingered: "Look, look at what this face has become." Spineless cried again, "But I feel sorry for me." ”
Mrs. Meng Cheng also arrived quickly, Meng Yun quickly wiped away her tears and made way of the position, and asked Mrs. Cheng to sit on the edge of Cheng Qi's tent bed, and Qingmiao also moved a round stool and helped the exhausted Gu to sit down.
"Desert, but you still have a headache and brain fever?"
Old Madam Cheng looked at Cheng Qi and asked with some unease.
Cheng Qi's head was a little heavy, but it didn't hurt much, she said it truthfully, and then looked at the eyes of everyone in the room looking at her, and she probably knew what her face was, so she stretched out her hand.
Gu Shi was puzzled: "What? Do you want to drink water? ”
Cheng Qi pointed to the round mirror on the dressing table and said, "Qingmiao, give me that mirror." ”
Where did Qingmiao dare, the bowl that Cheng Qi was sent back, she glanced at the man's face, and then when Zhou Laolang was cutting carrion, she had been by her side, which was considered to be palpitating.
Ordinary people's faces are broken, and they will be very sad, not to mention Cheng Qi, who is very likely to be unable to enter the palace because of this, the girl is as beautiful as a fairy, and suddenly becomes like this, how can she accept the reality.
Qingmiao didn't dare to look at Cheng Qi's eyes, and timidly hid behind Qingdai, who had changed her name to Yueying, and the man looked at Cheng Qi's constantly raised hand, and pretended not to see it.
Cheng Qi frowned unhappily, she didn't want to make a fuss, she just wanted to see how the wound was doing, that's all, seeing these two people, you pushed me, and raised her voice and scolded: "Yueying, give me the mirror!" ”
Yueying was shocked and shook her head: "Girl, the wound will be healed, you better not look at it." ”
"Qing Dai!"
Cheng Qi lost his temper rarely.
Seeing the situation, Mrs. Cheng reluctantly held Cheng Qi's hand in the air, and comforted: "Desert, don't be obsessed, this is all flesh wounds, Zhou Lao and the surnamed Pang both said, as long as the wound heals, and then apply some scar removal and rejuvenation drugs, it will be fine, let... Let's not look at it. ”
Cheng Qi didn't know what to say, he exhaled speechlessly, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching, it turned out that Cheng Yan was back, he held the replacement medicine patch in his hand, and handed the mirror to Cheng Qi.
Aunt Meng glared, snatched it and grabbed it under her armpit: "You stinky boy!" Are you trying to kill your sister? ”
Cheng Yan's attitude was neat, helping Mrs. Cheng get up from the tent bed and sit on the chair, while she sat in her original position, covering the medicine patch with her palm to make the ointment warm.
"What's this, Cheng Qi's psychological endurance, I think it should be good." Cheng Yan said, "Besides, the more you hide it from her like this, the more it shows that the injury on her face is very serious, and when the time comes, the depression of the mind will cause the wound to heal slowly, and the person's spirit will not be very good, it is better to show her, and if you know, you will be completely relieved, and people will always face reality." ”
Cheng Qi nodded hurriedly and agreed: "That's it." Stretched out his hand to Aunt Meng, "You better give me the mirror." ”
Aunt Meng was very embarrassed, and looked at Mrs. Cheng and Gu three times twice, it was the latter who nodded first, and the former shook her head in amazement, and she was instructed to hand over the mirror hesitantly.
Cheng Qi took it, didn't do any psychological construction, raised it and looked at it, because of the large carrion wound, the whole face was slightly swollen, but the facial features were still very delicate, and there was no wife to obstruct the view.
She stretched out her hand to tear off the piece of gauze, but was stopped by Cheng Yan: "Don't move, clumsy." ”
Yueying hurriedly said: "Girl, let's let Young Master Zongyu come, you have been in a coma for the past few days, and several elders are not in good spirits and can't accompany them for a long time, and Young Master Zongyu has always been taking care of the dressing." ”
When Cheng Qi heard this, he looked at Cheng Yan quite provocatively, and said in his heart, Didn't you say that you just stayed with him for a while?
But that person's face is still very thick, even if it is exposed that there is no cramped Wan Jingjing, he didn't speak, just concentrated on taking off the gauze on Cheng Qi's face, in order to prevent the flesh of the texture from sticking to the gauze, he probed Cheng Qi's face, and in order to observe it, he got very close, and even Cheng Qi's eyelashes that were blowing with his breath were shaking.
And everyone stared at Cheng Qi's wound and didn't notice Cheng Yan's actions, but only the two of them slowly frowned when they saw this scene, and the leader was naturally the first sister of Dachang, Cheng Dai.
He hugged his arms at his side, turned his head unhappily, and glanced at his eldest brother Cheng Lan, wanting him to remind Cheng Yan of the distance problem, but he was afraid that Cheng Qi would be in pain, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
The other is Mrs. Cheng, she just frowned and let go, looking at Cheng Yan's gaze was also meaningful, pursed her lips, and seemed to be thinking about something.
At this time, Cheng Yan had successfully removed the piece of gauze, and looking at the blood there, he sighed helplessly, as if he did it subconsciously, and he didn't even notice it.
Cheng Qi slowly raised the mirror, good guy, even if she was fully prepared, the mess on her face still surprised her, although only a thin piece of skin was peeled off, but the bright red texture, the feeling of dense cell regeneration that was still alive...... I got goosebumps before I knew it.
My face is like this.
Looking at Cheng Qi's reaction, Aunt Meng was also frightened, she hurriedly took the mirror away and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, the wound on the face can be healed slowly." ”
Cheng Qi asked lightly: "My face is like this now, there is no way to enter the palace." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yan raised his head, his eyes were deep, as if he understood the ins and outs of the situation, and his expression gradually showed blame, he should be very angry with Cheng Qi's self-assertion and not discuss it with him.
What's more, Cheng Qi's sand sculpture can't grasp the amount of ointment, if he applies more, I'm afraid that he will now think that the high fever will not go away and burn him alive, and he will go to see Hades completely.
"Don't think about it so much." Aunt Meng took over the conversation, "It's important to heal from the injury." ”
Although she said this, judging from her eyes, Cheng Qi knew that her road to the palace was broken, and while she was ecstatic in her heart, she also showed some smiles on the corners of her lips, and said calmly: "It's okay." ”
Now in the whole room, only Cheng Yan can understand the three words she said, the man pouted, and carefully pasted the hot medicine patch to Cheng Qi, and he didn't dare to use force.
Cheng Qi sat like this and let him paste it, his eyes were almost eye-to-eye, Cheng Yan's fingers were very slender and good-looking, the texture of the palm was very clear and clean, and there was a refreshing fragrance, like a lily.
"Does it hurt?" Cheng Yan asked expressionlessly.
"It doesn't hurt." Cheng Qi replied emotionlessly.
Old Madam Cheng watched from the side, didn't say a word, just reached out and patted Gu's hand, the man turned around, she showed a meaningful smile, and then signaled that she was okay and shook her head.
…
…
Cheng Qi was completely disfigured and couldn't enter the palace, I don't know what's going on, suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, and all of a sudden the people in Xiping Nine Cities knew about it, and of course those show girls in Suzaku Tower were indispensable.
They sat around and discussed, and there was no flattery and flattery in their tones, full of schadenfreude and disdain, first Han Yi fell, and then Cheng Qi was disfigured, how could such happy things happen one after another in the world.
It's just that when they talk and talk, they will naturally hook up the other two, among which Feng Se's identity is there, and they just have a few blank eyes, but Ma Zhen has been listening to the ridicule of those people for three days.
"I thought I had climbed a high branch, but who knew that this high branch was too unstrong."
I don't know who started it, everyone laughed, Ma Zhen's face was complicated, she was also worried about Cheng Qi's situation, but her current situation was also quite embarrassing.
"Girls! The chief manager of the palace has arrived! ”
Aunt Yun's voice came from the second floor, and everyone was in a moment's spirit, not knowing what the emperor had sent Chief Manager Zhao to do in this Vermilion Bird Tower, could it be that Cheng Qi had come to send Luo Chengqi, so they all rushed downstairs.
After everyone knelt down, the familiar face of Manager Zhao opened the holy decree, cleared the phlegm in his throat, and said: "Dachang Qinchang: Due to the turmoil in the country, the national strength has been damaged, and he can't afford this year's draft, so I decided to make fun of the April draft. ”
After Manager Zhao finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other and was at a loss.
Don't choose it?
Not a draft girl this year?
So have all their hard work this year been in vain?
Who knew that Manager Zhao's eyes swept over coldly, and his eyes fell on Ma Zhen's body, the girl knelt quietly, and when she heard this, she didn't have a strange look.
"And!"
Manager Zhao spoke, and everyone was silent again, and the man continued: "Ma Zhen, the daughter of the Ma family of Zhenyao Fang, Zhong Lingyuxiu, Lan Zhihuixin, is crowned as a seven-grade royal maid, and entered Wen Yuxuan on April 19, and Qin this. ”
After saying this, it set off a lot of waves, especially Ma Zhen, she was so shocked that she even forgot to raise her head to thank her for receiving the order, or Feng Se reminded her that she was grateful for the order.
"I ...... Concubines...... Thank you, Your Majesty...... Long. She couldn't believe it.
Manager Zhao's face was much calmer: "Ma Yunu, the veils you embroidered, the saint has seen it, saying that your female red is surprisingly good, judging from the stitches, I know that you are a gentle person." Smiled, "It's also worth paying off, after staying up for so long, you're finally coming out." ”
Ma Zhen held the holy decree in his hand, only felt that it was as hot as fire, and said that the emperor would not look at the handkerchiefs embroidered in the evening, but he didn't expect it, he didn't expect that God would reward his diligence, and the emperor ...... I actually watched them all.
Feng Se looked at her and said with some relief: "Okay, you won this year." ”
Ma Zhen didn't know why, tears fell down, she raised her head, looked at the expressions of admiration or jealousy of the show girls around her, and exhaled, she had never felt that life was so happy and comfortable.
