Chapter 10: Dark Night Shura
As she spoke, she took out a delicate glass vial from her purse, An Gui lowered her head and stretched out her hand.
"Huai Jin and I are leaving here tonight, and I will accept this return gift, but you remember, cause and effect are just that, you don't need to think I am kind."
His delicate and handsome face looked a little ghostly in the dark night, and Peach Blossom couldn't help but feel the palpitating feeling.
"Then, return to Gongzi and go well, and meet again when we have a fate."
Peach Blossom said as she took a step back.
An Gui just folded her sleeves and nodded, Miao Shu helped Peach Blossom back to the car, and looked back at the master and servant who were standing in place, she didn't know how her young lady knew these two, but this time, she suddenly saw the cold and empty silence that was completely different from just now.
The carriage drove away from this street, and Huai Jin stood beside An Gui, who was still like in the daytime at this time, and even the steps were shining like Kunlun jade.
He walked over the people lying on the ground, seemingly completely unconcerned.
"Huai Jin, they saw it."
A simple statement, the face still reveals compassion and kindness that goes straight to the bottom of the heart.
Huai Jin drew his long sword from his waist, quickly cut everyone's throats, and then skillfully took out a cyan medicine bottle from his waist.
The white mist gradually rose, and the corpse slowly turned into a pool of blood, and An Gui looked up at the sky.
"Let's go."
Huai Jin seemed to be accustomed to this method, ripped off an old cloth and wiped the sword body stained with some blood, and then followed An Gui away.
When Peach Blossom returned to the mansion, Yun Shuzhen had already returned from the banquet in the palace, and she told Miao Shu and Xiao Kun not to tell anyone about the attack, and Mo Ming was leaning against the porch and waiting for her.
"Where's Daddy now?"
The servants in the house tacitly opened the door to cover her, and Peach Blossom asked in a low voice.
"The master is in the study."
"My lord doesn't seem to be in a good mood today."
Mo Ming followed.
"Miaoshu, go see what snacks are in the dining room and bring me some."
"Yes."
Miao-sook bowed her head.
The bright and dim candle flame flickered in the Yunfu study, and Peach Blossom walked to the door and knocked on the door twice.
"Daddy, I'm Peach Blossom."
"Come in."
Peach Blossom pushed open the door and saw Yun Shuzhen writing something in front of the bookcase.
"Daddy, you're back, how is the royal banquet today?"
Yun Shuzhen didn't answer her words, just raised his head.
"I heard Mo Ming say things during the day, and I am not allowed to go up the mountain alone to do such a dangerous thing in the future."
"Yes, Daddy!"
Peach Blossom made a guarantee, and Yun Shuzhen sighed slightly in his heart when he saw Peach Blossom's pretty and pure face.
"Buyun Villa is not as transparent as the mirror in front of you, everything must be careful, if there is nothing major, it is better to have less contact."
Yun Shuzhen doesn't want to restrict his daughter's freedom, but whether it is the Gongsun family or Buyun Villa, the intricate undercurrents are not something that a child can weigh and strategize, as a father, he only hopes that Peach Blossom can always be happy to be the eldest lady of Yunfu and never get involved in these disputes.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'm measured."
There were two knocks at the door.
"It's Miao-sook here."
Peach Blossom said playfully.
Miao Shu walked in with a plate of pastries, and Peach Blossom took it and put it on Yun Shuzhen's table.
"Daddy is working hard today, eat some snacks and rest early."
She smiled very brightly, and Yun Shuzhen saw her daughter's expectant eyes, and involuntarily picked up a piece of snack.
"You should go and rest sooner."
"Yes, Daddy, the peach blossom is gone."
Yun Shuzhen nodded, and Peach Blossom retreated with Miaoshu.
"What happened to the palace banquet?"
Peach Blossom felt that Daddy was indeed a little strange today.
"When I came back, the master had just returned to the house, and I am afraid that only Steward Ling, who followed the master, knew about the affairs in this palace."
Mo Ming, who was waiting outside the door, spoke.
Yun Wei is an old servant of the Yun family, because of his outstanding merits were given the surname of the master's family, the Yun family is called his housekeeper, Yun Shu is loyal to Yun Shuzhen, and he is even more cautious in his words and deeds, if Yun Shuzhen does not want to say something, even if it is a peach blossom, he can't get a trace of information from his mouth.
"Butler won't tell me, just go back to sleep."
Peach Blossom waved her hand and turned around and walked back to her courtyard, Miao Shu deliberately fell half a step behind, and Mo Ming, who was following behind, was almost out of shape by this trip.
"Miss believes you, when you were in a cage, it was Miss who rescued you from the secret guard, if I find out that you have the slightest disloyalty to Miss, I will never show mercy."
Miao Shu said in a low voice.
Mo Ming was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed.
"Miao-sook, what are you talking about?"
"Don't live up to the trust of the young lady."
Miao Sook dropped a sentence and turned to leave.
The night was getting deeper, and Mo Ming's expression was a little indifferent, and a little indescribably gloomy.
On the second day of the Mid-Spring Festival, a shocking case occurred in the royal capital, and the people who beat the watch in the morning found a few stalls of blood and rags on the road in the hazy morning light, but no one knew what happened here.
This matter was spread in the royal capital, and the ghosts and gods said that the fox fairy said, in short, there was everything to say, and when Miao Shu reported this matter to Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom only felt a chill in her heart.
"Are you sure that's the one who attacked us?"
"I don't know, there's nothing but those things."
Miao Shu was also puzzled.
"Mo Ming, what do you think?"
Mo Ming took a folding fan and fanned it in his ear.
"Miss Xie Qingqing must be a servant in her own house, if it is a slave in Xie Mansion, there are so many people missing, Xie Mansion will definitely report to the official, but this Xie family has no movement at all, maybe those miscellaneous deliberately do it to make us no longer investigate?"
Xie Qingqing didn't know her identity, how could she think of doing this to avoid being investigated, although Peach Blossom felt that there was a big problem with this logic, but the investigation of the case was a matter of the Kyoto Governor's Mansion, and it had nothing to do with her, more than one thing is better than less thing, this is the purpose of Peach Blossom's life.
However, the only thing she regrets about this farce is that the Xie family, which was originally one of the three major families of Kaiji Kingdom, actually produced a son like Xie Qingqing who is not so smart.
"In that case, forget it."
Peach Blossom waved her hand, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, Huai Jin's skills are afraid that Xie Qingqing will be scared, and Hongxian Fang has already issued an expulsion order to her, I am afraid that this is really the last time we will meet in the royal capital.
Peach Blossom didn't want to expose her identity and cause trouble, but Mo Ming pouted, it was so easy to forget it.
