Chapter 172: To put her to death
The capital is densely populated and not suitable for animals such as bats, so he dares to conclude that these bats must have been domesticated by aliens. And those who domesticate poisons like bats are certainly not good people.
Su Yu followed the bat to find out, and finally found the mysterious man wearing a cloak and a black veil in a side courtyard of Yuehua Courtyard.
The wind lifted the black veil that covered her face, outlining the figure of a vague woman, and Su Yu recognized that person was Xue Ziyao at a glance! However, who Xue Ziyao is has nothing to do with Lin Zhiruo, and he will never let Xue Ziyao hurt Lin Zhiruo, so he left silently.
A few nights later, Su Yu saw bats flying overhead, but he didn't care anymore. Now that Lin Zhiruo asked, he didn't plan to say that compared to the rare happiness of him and Lin Zhiruo, he didn't care about whether this Dayue Kingdom was peaceful or not!
Yuehuating, Qin Zimo put the sleeping Xue Ziyao on the bed, and then got up to leave. Seeing Mother Li waiting outside the door, he asked her, "Does the nurse know, where did Yao'er put her mother's bracelet?" β
Mother Li shook her head, "Yao'er didn't talk about it, and I don't want to ask too much, she is not good at making her suspicious and worried." β
Qin Zimo turned his head to look at Xue Ziyao, and sighed almost imperceptibly, "Nurse, go back and rest, Yao'er will be fine if she has someone to take care of you." The king still has something to go to the study to deal with, so he will leave first. β
Xue Ziyao, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes with her back to Qin Zimo, and her eyes were pitch black, revealing the desolation of the night. She looked down at her wrist, and as soon as she used her internal strength, she saw that the color of the Gu worm she had planted was lighter than before, and her eyebrows immediately frowned.
"Do you want to get out alive? It's not that easy! β
Qin Zimo returned to the study and sat alone under the lamp, facing the wind outside the window, feeling inexplicably desolate.
He thought about the scene when he gave the relics left by his mother to Xue Ziyao with great cherishment, and then thought about the scene when he saw her wrist without anything in the past few days, and a sense of loss arose in his heart.
He still remembered that when he forcibly removed the bracelet from Lin Zhiruo's hand that day, Lin Zhiruo frowned at a loss of pain or discomfort, which made him regret it afterwards. It's just a bracelet, it's rare that the only thing she likes has something to do with herself, so why not give it to her?
Even though the mother wants to use it as a family heirloom, Yao'er doesn't like it, rather than letting it be sealed in a box and never see the light of day, it is better to give it to Lin Zhiruo, which is the only trace left by his marriage with her.
Not to let her gamble on things and think about people, but to make him have a clear conscience. He knew that his recklessness had hurt her, so he wanted to make amends, even if she wouldn't care, at least he unilaterally thought it was sincere enough.
Qin Zimo looked out the window, and suddenly saw a dark cloud passing through the sky, he frowned and jumped out of the window to chase after him.
Lin Zhiruo and Su Yu also noticed the bat's movements and looked up.
"Bats? There must be demons around! Hey, go and see them...... Damn, they look like they're coming to my yard! Lin Zhiruo jumped out of Su Yu's arms and hurriedly said, "You hide it, maybe there will be a secret guard coming over, I'll take a look!" β
Lin Zhiruo followed the sound of the bat, and sure enough, she saw the bat flying towards the yard where she lived, and she quickly quickened her pace and ran to the front of the house.
"Strange, how did you all fly here?" Lin Zhiruo looked at the bat that flew into the eaves and said with a blank expression.
"Isn't it normal for your things to fly to you?" Qin Zimo came in from outside the door, stared coldly at Lin Zhiruo's back and said. "The capital is not a place where bats should stay, why don't you explain to this king, what's going on?"
Lin Zhiruo turned to look at Qin Zimo and smiled faintly, "I'm not a bat, how can I know why they came to me?" Why don't you go and ask them how they are? β
Qin Zimo approached Lin Zhiruo, and saw that her face was slightly red, her hair was messy, and there was some light sweat on her body, and she inexplicably felt that she looked like she had just done it...... Maybe it's because of the hot weather! Qin Zimo turned his head to look at the bats under the eaves and asked Lin Zhiruo: "Have you noticed that they are very similar to the group in Quanzhou?" β
"It's just like that, it's just the same group, and when they smell the medicine on my body, they retreat." Lin Zhiruo took a few steps forward, and the bats really retreated.
"Could it be that the demon who made trouble in Quanzhou came to the capital again?" Qin Zimo's eyebrows condensed again.
"I don't know, maybe. Looks like their target is me this time. Lin Zhiruo turned to look at Qin Zimo, "In order to help the prince investigate the case and save people, I got into big trouble, and the prince is also happy?" I don't plan to, what do you mean? She reached out to him again and asked for money.
Qin Zimo stretched out his hand and put it on Lin Zhiruo's hand, "If you don't mind, this king will make a promise for the time being." "Heh, Heli is cheap enough for her, and she is embarrassed to ask for money? It's greedy.
Lin Zhiruo withdrew her hand, turned around and walked into the house, "Forget it, if I die, I hope that the prince will be able to send the pension to my husband in the future, then it will be about the same." β
Qin Zimo's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Just after reconciling with this king, you plan to find a home?" Doesn't this woman need to miss the old for a while? Or was she not interested in him at all...... No, she didn't have him in her eyes at all, otherwise she wouldn't have designed such an escape in Quanzhou.
Qin Zimo shook his head, "When did I become like this?" It's just a woman she doesn't love, and if she loses it, she loses it, so why worry about it? β
Qin Zimo finally turned around and walked away.
The next day, Lin Zhiruo went to Yuehuating early to see Xue Ziyao, and this time she still brought Ziyao with her.
"Sister is here?" As soon as Xue Ziyao saw Lin Zhiruo enter the door, she showed a hypocritical smile, and pretended to be friendly and said: "Yesterday, my sister suddenly fell ill thanks to my sister's rescue, and my sister is really grateful for her recreation, and my sister must thank my sister for her great kindness......"
Lin Zhiruo lazily sat down on the side of the bed, and casually instructed Zi Yu: "Apprentice, check the pulse of the side concubine." β
Seeing Zi Yu step forward to pinch Xue Ziyao's vein, Lin Zhiruo looked up at Xue Ziyao and sneered: "The side concubine Niangniang doesn't have to call me any sister or sister now, as we all know, I have reconciled with the prince at two o'clock yesterday, and now the side concubine Niangniang is the mistress of Duanwang's Mansion, I, Lin Zhiruo, am just a doctor, and Niangniang doesn't have to be so polite to the people's women." β
"Master, Niangniang's pulse is stable, and I think my body has returned to normal." Zi Yu put down Xue Ziyao's hand and said to Lin Zhiruo.
Xue Ziyao was dumbfounded when she heard Lin Zhiruo's words, and asked in surprise, "What?" Sister and Lordβ"
