Chapter 46: Make a Deal

After returning to the Sheng Mansion, everyone met the ceremony, Shui Qingqing went to the wing room to rest, and the Sheng Imperial Doctor and his wife left Xiaoxi for a separate question.

There is no need to guess that Shui Qingqing also knows that what Doctor Sheng asked was nothing more than his own affairs in the Hou Mansion, and he was worried that he would show his feet in the Hou Mansion and drag down the Sheng family......

Shui Qingqing didn't blame the Sheng family for guarding herself, after all, this was a matter related to the life of the entire family, and no one dared to take it lightly.

Taking advantage of Xiaoxi's absence, Shui Qingqing used the excuse that she had been locked up in the Hou Mansion for too long, and she wanted to go out to breathe, and the maid of the Sheng family quietly went to Suzaku Lane alone.

During the New Year's Festival, Suzaku Lane is much quieter than usual, and many outsiders have returned to their hometowns for the holidays, and the usually bustling streets have become empty.

Shui Qingqing pressed the brim of her cloak very low, almost covering half of her face, clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves, and walked towards Aunt Jin's courtyard all the way.

Getting closer and closer to Aunt Jin's courtyard, Shui Qingqing's heart beat faster and faster, and her whole body tensed with nervousness and resentment.

This is a place she is familiar with and makes her afraid and disgusted, and the thought that Yun'er was born here and was snatched away makes her heart ache!

Shui Qingqing, who was hurt by the past, was bent on going to find Aunt Jin, but she didn't know that after she came out of the Sheng family, she had been quietly followed......

To be precise, since she left the Hou Mansion, she has been targeted.

Seeing that she had turned another alley and arrived at Aunt Jin's yard, she suddenly stretched out a pair of hands from the oblique stab and quickly dragged her into the alley on the other side.

Shui Qingqing didn't even have time to scream, so she covered her mouth.

"It's me!"

The low and cold voice made Shui Qingqing's whole body tremble.

Without looking back, she also knew that the person behind her was none other than the masked assassin of the house who threatened her to be a pawn.

After saying this, the masked assassin let go of his hand. Shui Qingqing looked back at the deep cold eyes under his mask, and said in shock: "You...... Why are you here? ”

Under Sen Leng's mask, the man's lips hooked into a mocking sneer, and he said coldly: "I'm here to save you - even if it's just a chess piece, I still have to protect you before everything is used." ”

The masked assassin's words made Shui Qingqing's heart stagnate, and his sentence of 'protect you thoroughly' made her irrepressibly think of Mei Zijin, who had also said this to her not long ago......

Pressing the panic in her heart, she calmed down, twisted her eyebrows and wondered: "You save me?" What do you mean by that? ”

The masked assassin smiled coldly, his eyes crossed her to look at the courtyard of the golden lady hidden under the locust tree on the opposite side of the street, and said coldly: "The people of Baifu have been waiting for you in that courtyard all morning, if you step in at this time, you are revealing your identity - killing yourself." ”

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's whole body trembled, and she looked up at the masked assassin in disbelief, her heart sank down, and the cold hairs on her whole body hardened.

Yes, why didn't she expect that Mama Jin, who had already doubted her, would let her go so easily?!

She can think of coming here to find the key person in the matter, Mrs. Jin, who is as shrewd as Mama Jin, and she will think of this, so she will wait for her in the courtyard of Mrs. Jin in advance, waiting for her to throw herself into the net......

So, the Mask Assassin didn't lie to her, and there was no need to lie to her.

Cold sweat soaked the back of her clothes little by little, Shui Qingqing spoke with difficulty, and said with a trembling white face: "Even if they don't find out today, when they bring Aunt Jin to the people of the Hou Mansion, they can reveal my identity." At that time, I will also be a dead end, and I will catch Yun'er and the Sheng family......"

After that, she looked at the cold man in front of her with begging eyes, and begged in a trembling voice: "Since you want to protect me, then...... Can you help me again? ”

Because of going back to Sheng's house today to pay New Year's greetings, Shui Qingqing's clothes are two points brighter than usual, no longer a simple and plain color, but a jade cloak embroidered with a little red plum, and the brim of the cloak is decorated with pieces of soft white fox fur.

The cold wind blew, and the white fox fur on the brim of the hat was like a piece of light feathers on her white and porcelain-like little face, which made her little face like a bright moon extraordinarily bright and delicate, and a pair of black and white clear eyes were even brighter like two clear springs, but looked at him with begging pity, making the cold face under the mask slightly distracted.

His heart trembled, the masked assassin's hands unconsciously closed, and the thumb of his right hand inadvertently touched the little finger of his left hand, his hands trembled slightly, and his distracted eyes instantly returned to clarity, becoming more and more cold and intimidating.

The next moment, he hooked his lips and sneered: "Let's make a deal." Within two days, I will help you solve Aunt Jin, so that she can no longer appear in front of you and keep the secret on your body. And you-"

The masked assassin's voice was as cold as the cold wind blowing on his face, and the icy chill was in his bones.

"I want you to help me kill the witch doctor who came to Beijing to cure Mei Zijin's poison of cold and paralysis - he designed to trap me the last time he was poisoned, but he missed his own chance to detoxify it. And in two or three days, it will be the time of his poisoning......"

"As far as I know, the witch doctor has been sent into the house by him to wait for him to detoxify him when he is poisoned. Therefore, I want you to kill the witch doctor within two days, before he is poisoned, and let him die of the poison of the cold! ”

Unlike other poisons, the poison of cold paralysis must be effective when the poison is onset. And Mei Zijin had previously advanced the trapping plan in order to find out whether she was related to the assassin before the old lady made a marriage for Shui Qingqing, thus missing the opportunity to detoxify, and even the hard-working witch doctor was killed.

However, he concealed the news of the witch doctor's death, and even lured the assassin to the door again by pretending that the witch doctor was still alive.

But what Mei Zijin never expected was that this time the assassin asked Shui Qingqing to deal with him......

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing was completely shocked, her eyes looked at the masked assassin in front of her in horror and disbelief, and she said with a pale face: "What are you talking about...... Mei Zijin has been poisoned by cold paralysis? ”

Looking at Shui Qingqing's shocked description, the mask assassin was slightly stunned at first, but the next moment he smiled proudly.

"Heh, it seems that he actually kept the poisoning of him from everyone, and he didn't dare to let people know about it—otherwise you think he would have set up a concubine to be the son of the world so early?! He just knew that he had been poisoned, so he arranged everything early. ”

Shui Qingqing's brain exploded with a 'boom', and many things that he couldn't understand before became clear at this moment.

According to the Mask Assassin, he was poisoned by paralysis before he became a son. In other words, he was poisoned by the wounds he had received during his assassination at the grave mountain.

Therefore, when he pushed himself down the mountain so suddenly, it was not because he ignored her in cold blood and ruthlessly, but it was precisely because he found that he was poisoned, his body was stiff, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape from the assassin's pursuit, so he pushed her down the mountain beam and saved her life in desperation......

Somewhere in his heart felt an uncontrollable pain, Shui Qingqing trembled and said: "Since he is a witch doctor who saved his life, how can he let people kill him casually?!" Your last assassination made them suspect me. I usually can't even enter Mei Zijin's yard, let alone kill people under his nose......"

"The matter...... I can't do it......"

The panic and evasion in her eyes did not escape the masked man's eyes.

With anger rising in his heart, he sneered: "If you don't get rid of Mei Zijin for a day, you won't be able to snatch your child back for a day." So, what are you still hesitating to fear? Or - you can't bear it?! ”

As the words fell, the air between the two froze.

Shui Qingqing was embarrassed and embarrassed by being spied on, and she didn't want to hear the words 'reluctant'.

She just didn't dare to kill people, how could she be reluctant to Mei Zijin......

Her heart was messy, but before she could refute, the masked assassin said coldly, "You have no room to refuse—whether it's Aunt Jin or me, we can easily make you irreversible." Think about it! ”

Shui Qingqing's whole body was cold, her mind was blank, her mind turned a thousand times, and after a long time, she finally nodded with difficulty.

Seeing this, the masked assassin smiled with satisfaction, and did not stop any longer, and in the blink of an eye, he had already left, and there was no trace of him......

Her mind was in a mess, Shui Qingqing leaned against the wall for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses, her mind was full of what the masked assassin had said to her, as if the poison of cold and paralysis in Mei Zijin's body had been swirling back and forth in her mind, making her feel numb.

At this moment, there was Mama Jin's voice in her ears, which made her suddenly stunned and came to her senses.

She followed the sound and looked carefully, and sure enough, she saw Mama Jin coming out of Aunt Jin's yard.

With a tight heart, Shui Qingqing thought in fear, and sure enough, as the mask assassin said, Mama Jin led people to guard the courtyard and waited for her to throw herself into the net.

If Fang Cai hadn't stopped her in time by the masked assassin, I was afraid that she would have been caught red-handed by Mama Jin at this time and her identity would have been exposed......

Cold sweat poured down, she carefully hid her body in the alley, and heard Mama Jin talking to the stall lady at the corner of the street.

Mama Jin asked the stall lady, has anyone come here recently to find her sister Aunt Jin, especially a young woman from a foreign country?

The stall lady said in a loud voice: "No, I didn't see anyone looking for your sister." There were only a few tenants who wanted to rent a yard, and I told them that my aunt had gone back to her hometown and hadn't come back yet. ”

Mama Jin smiled and said goodbye to the stall lady, turned around and went back to the yard.

It seems that Mama Jin has completely suspected her......

Wiping the cold sweat on her forehead, Shui Qingqing wrapped her cloak tightly, covered her head and face, and quietly left Suzaku Lane by taking a path......

Shui Qingqing, who was very worried, borrowed the medicine house from Dr. Sheng to make mint paste after eating lunch, and did not leave the door of the medicine house all afternoon......

On the other side, Mama Jin, who had been guarding in Vermilion Bird Lane all day, saw that she had not waited for Shui Qingqing's figure, and finally returned to Bai Mansion to report the situation to Bai Lingwei's mother and the Yang family.

Recently, the Bai family has been in charge, Bai Lingwei's father Bai Haoqing has worshiped Zuo Xiang, the Bai family has ascended to heaven, and officials from all walks of life have also taken advantage of the New Year to come to Baifu to curry favor.

In addition, Bai Lingwei's son is the hereditary prince of Dingguo, and distant relatives and close neighbors also took advantage of Bai Lingwei's return to her parents' house today to come to court. Therefore, this year's New Year in Baifu is more lively than ever, and the traffic in front of the house is busy, so it is not a lively scenery.

It stands to reason that at this time, as Bai Haoqing's flat wife and the head of the Bai family, the Yang family is the busiest, but she will be a guest in the house and a few aunts and Bai Lingwei to accompany her, close the door in the bedroom, face the mirror to add makeup, and listen quietly to Mama Jin's announcement.

The more he heard it, the tighter Yang's eyebrows furrowed, and the bright face with eyebrows similar to Bai Lingwei's eyes was full of gloomy color, and the eyes of Danfeng, who was raised up, were even more cold.

"It's too careless!"

Yang threw away the snail Dai in his hand, looked coldly at Mama Jin who was standing behind her with her head bowed and her hands folded from the bronze mirror, frowned and said: "Wei'er is proud and can't see people clearly for a while, you are an old man who follows me, how can you be so careless and let people approach Wei'er and the child at will - the child's background is so sensitive, and now he has become the prince of the Hou Mansion, in case someone finds out that he is not ...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

Mama Jin's face turned white, and she lowered her head and said softly: "As soon as the old slave returned home, she found that something was wrong, and immediately tested the young lady, but she didn't have allergies after eating the sesame cake, and the old slave stayed in Suzaku Lane for a day today, and I didn't see her going, so the old slave thought, is it wrong for us to suspect it......"

Hearing this, Yang smiled disapprovingly.

Turning around, Yang looked at his loyal servant with a clear look, and said coldly word by word: "According to what you said, that foreigner girl and the daughter of the Sheng family fell into the same lake on the same day, and then this Sheng Yu's temperament changed greatly after she rescued her from the shore, and she was not only willing to be the eldest prince's Chongxi lady, but also wore linen and filial piety to enter the mansion." ”

"But the purpose of her entering the mansion doesn't seem to be to go to the Hou Ye, but she has saved Xiao Shizi several times, but on the other hand, she has a bad relationship with Wei'er, and she burns the Bai family mercilessly——"

"With all this, can you still think that your suspicions are wrong?!"

In fact, Mama Jin was the same as the Yang family before, and from all kinds of signs, she suspected that Shui Qingqing was the foreign girl who was killed by them in Shenhu that day, but there was one thing that she couldn't understand.

She frowned and said in a deep voice: "According to common sense, if that foreign girl survives, the first thing she should do should be to go back to Suzaku Street to find the second sister to seek revenge and get the child back - but I asked the neighbors, and since then, no woman has ever gone to find the second sister." This is really difficult for the old slave to understand! ”

"The fact that she didn't return to Suzaku Street doesn't clear her of suspicion - it just shows that our enemies are very cunning and can't be taken lightly!"

Yang Shi looked at the embarrassment on Mama Jin's face, and then chuckled like an innocent person: "I know your difficulty, I don't dare to attack her until I understand her identity - it's very simple, let your sister come back immediately, let her see it face to face, and everything will be clear!" ”

Mama Jin said: "As early as the first time I saw her, the old slave sent someone to the countryside to pick up the second sister back, but it should be here in the next few days." ”

Yang's eyebrows raised slightly, and he sneered proudly: "In this way, there is nothing to be embarrassed about - everything, wait for your second sister to come back from the countryside." ”

Mama Jin thought about it for a while, and then asked, "This matter ...... Do you want to keep it a secret from the eldest lady? ”

Yang sighed and said helplessly: "Although Wei'er is shrewd and intelligent, she can't hold her breath when she is young. If you let her know that Hou Fu, the new Miss Cousin, is likely to be Yun'er's biological mother, according to her temperament, I am afraid that she will make a mistake in a panic and show her feet, wouldn't it be a failure? ”

"So, it's good for you to do this quietly alone, don't let her know......"

Mama Jin nodded in response, "Madame thinks about it, and the old slave also thinks that it is best not to interfere with Miss in this matter, so I didn't talk about these things with Miss before." ”

Yang affectionately took Mama Jin's hand and smiled: "Well done, I know that with you, I will definitely be able to keep Wei'er safe." ”

"However, I have one more important task for you - you must find a way to make Wei'er pregnant with the real Hou Mansion child as soon as possible. In this way, it is the top priority to ensure that Weier and the Bai family are invincible. ”

Yes, as long as Bai Lingwei gives birth to Mei Zijin's real flesh and blood, even if the incident of the son of the world in the end happens, and there is a real child by her side, she will not be afraid......

Ever since she met the Masked Assassin in Vermilion Bird Lane, Shui Qingqing had been restless and didn't know how to 'kill' the witch doctor in the Hou Mansion at the request of the Assassin.

And what made her even more uneasy was the cold and paralyzing poison in Mei Zijin's body......

On the second day, the third day of the Lunar New Year, Shui Qingqing went to the Shi'an Institute early in the morning.

This time, she was not for Yun'er, but for Mei Zijin.

But this morning, I didn't see Mei Zijin come to the Shi'an Hospital to greet the old lady. And because he is busy with official business on weekdays, sometimes he does not return to the house for several months in the barracks, so his absence, not only the old lady is not surprised, but even several aunts are used to it.

Shui Qingqing sat at the door, and kept looking out frequently, until everyone finished asking for peace, she didn't see Mei Zijin, and she couldn't help but feel an unspeakable sense of loss in her heart.

Early in the morning of the third day, Shui Qingqing died, and the Anyuan asked for peace, but he still didn't see Mei Zijin.

was getting more and more flustered, Shui Qingqing finally asked Xiaoxi to inquire where Mei Zijin had been these days?

After a while, Xiaoxi came back from outside, saying that Mei Zijin had just sent Sanshi to reply to the hospital, and told the old lady that the Hou Ye was drunk in Dr. Lu's mansion last night, and stayed in the Lu Mansion to rest, and he wanted to return to the house later.

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing couldn't help but think of what the assassin said to her. These few days are the period of Mei Zijin's poison, he stayed in Lu Mansion at this time and didn't come back, is it because the poison of cold paralysis has attacked? !

So, is the witch doctor who helped him detoxify also in Lu Lin's mansion?

Shui Qingqing, who was not in her soul, sat in the room for a long time, her heart was messy, and she finally couldn't sit still and went out.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year today, the Jade Village has opened for business, Shui Qingqing excused herself to go to the Jade Village to pay off the silver, let Xiaoxi stay at home, and go out of the house from the side door of the Hou Mansion with her own things......

She first went to the money village and exchanged the ten heavy ingots of gold for a silver ticket that was easy to carry.

After the change, she did not go to Jade Village to repay the money, but went to Lu Lin's house instead.

She had been to Lu Mansion before, so she found the door of the mansion with a familiar car, knocked on the door and asked the porter to help her pass it to Lu Lin.

At that time, Mei Zijin had just come out of the medicinal bath, Lu Lin used a silver needle to help him open the acupoint to try to detoxify, and suddenly heard a report from the next person, saying that when Miss Hou Fubiao asked to see her outside, her hands trembled in shock, and the silver needles in her hands were almost punctured.

"Miss Table!? How did she get here? ”

Lu Lin asked Mei Zijin puzzled, but his subordinates kept moving, his hand was like the wind, and he pierced the silver needle in his hand into Mei Zijin's ten fingertips in one go, and black and purple blood beads appeared in an instant.

The so-called ten fingers connecting the heart is the most unbearable pain, but Mei Zijin only frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "She came to you, she has her own business, how do I know." ”

Having said that, he was suspicious in his heart, secretly wondering, early in the morning, it was the New Year's Festival, what was she doing when she came to Lu Lin?

Lu Lin finished his work, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to him: "You try to detoxify your body, pull the cold paralysis poison in your body between your ten fingers, and discharge it from your fingertips—I'll come back when I go to see her." ”

Mei Zijin closed his eyes and was noncommittal, and Lu Lin withdrew from the inner room to see Shui Qingqing outside.

As soon as she entered Lu Lin's room, Shui Qingqing smelled a strong smell of medicinal herbs in her nose.

Her eyes swept around the room silently, except for Lu Lin, but there was no one else.

The next moment, her eyes were drawn to something on the table.

From the moment she entered the door, Lu Lin was attracted by the wine jug in her hand, rubbed her hands happily and smiled: "Miss Sheng came early in the morning, did she bring me fine wine-it's so polite!" ”

After that, he happily wanted to pick up the wine jug in Shui Qingqing's hand, but Shui Qingqing avoided it imperceptibly, stepped forward and put the wine jug on the table in a few steps, and his eyes saw the things on the table clearly, and his heart jumped suddenly.

Turning around, she smiled at Lu Lin and said, "Dr. Lu has saved my life twice, I will send some thin wine to show my gratitude, and I am also here to pay a New Year's greeting to Dr. Lu." ”

It stands to reason that Shui Qingqing came to the door as a guest, and Lu Lin wanted to greet him, but he thought about Mei Zijin in the inner room, but it was not easy to open his mouth and stay with Shui Qingqing for a long time.

Seeing his eyes unconsciously suffocating inward, Shui Qingqing's heart was clear, but he smiled indifferently on his face: "I'm here, there is one more thing to trouble Dr. Lu." ”

Lu Lin laughed and said, "Miss Sheng, please speak." ”

Shui Qingqing looked at the door of the inner room without a trace out of the corner of her eyes, and listened to the movement inside at all times, and said with a smile: "I can't sit in the carriage and sedan chair, and I feel dizzy and chest tightness as soon as I enter it." Usually it's nothing, you can walk or ride a horse, but tomorrow I'm going to the Three Princes' Mansion for a banquet, if I go on foot, it's really undignified, so I want to ask Dr. Lu if there is a good medicine to cure my motion sickness?! ”

Hearing that Shui Qingqing specially asked himself for medicine in order to go to the New Year banquet of the three princes tomorrow, Lu Lin was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the previous rumors about the relationship between the three princes Li You and Shui Qingqing, and thought of what Mei Zijin asked him to do before, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Take the liberty to ask, between Miss Sheng and the three princes...... What is the relationship? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did the atmosphere in the outer room freeze, but Mei Zijin in the inner room was even more nervous, her closed eyes slowly opened, and her cold face showed a nervous look for the first time, waiting for Shui Qingqing's answer.

Seeing Lu Lin's eyes glancing through the inner room again, Shui Qingqing felt bitter in her heart, and even more with endless sadness, and smiled indifferently: "Confidant, he is empathetic, and he can also give me shelter and help." It is my blessing to have such a confidant and friend! ”

Hearing this, Lu Lin's face changed, his eyes looked in the direction of the inner room worriedly again, and said nervously: "Na...... It just so happened that a friend asked me to make this pill for my family, so I'll get it for you. ”

After speaking, Lu Lin poured tea for Shui Qingqing, and hurriedly went to the pharmacy next door to get the medicine, just wanting to let Shui Qingqing leave early after giving the medicine.

As soon as he left, Shui Qingqing had already come to the door of the inner room, looked at the dress that was deliberately wet, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and pushed open the door of the inner room......
